(As an Aussie) Oscar Piastri looks exactly like the type of kid who would have gone to my primary school and I mean this in the worst way. I can just see him in that grotty yellow polo shirt and boogers running down his nose. He was in the red house and played dirty in dodgeball. Wore those stupid Clark black school shoes with white socks and got made fun of for it. Condemned to no hat no play all the time because he never brought his hat (and when he did it was the stupid cap with the sun protection flaps.)

That’s all I have to say.

I am so sorry but to me, any picture of them with a microphone with this precise green-ish outfit is channeling this exact Mike Wazowski performance,

uncomfortable truth that 90% of the people on the wanda tag aren't ready for: she is The Most Vanilla Bitch On The Planet

You literally cannot be serious. Everyone not British says bathrobe. I've never heard/used dressing gown or housecoat in my 28 years of life

RB to see how others think-- also, what territory you're from and version of English you speak! (this is to settle a thing I am pondering)

I love how on Tumblr, "media literacy" has become "Um, just because someone writes about this doesn't mean they're endorsing this. I hate all these media puritans ruining everything."

I'm sad to inform you that knowing when and whether an author is endorsing something, implying something, saying something, is also part of media literacy. Knowing when they are doing this and when they're not is part of media literacy. Assuming that no author has ever endorsed a bad thing is how you fall for proper gander. It's not media literacy to always assume that nobody ever has agreed with the morally reprehensible ideas in their work.

Sometimes, authors are endorsing something, and you need to be aware when that happens, and you also need to be aware when you're doing it as an author. All media isn't horny dubcon fanfic where you and the author know it's problematic IRL but you get off to it in the privacy of your brain. Sometimes very smart people can convince you of something that'll hurt others in the real world. Sometimes very dumb people will romanticize something without realizing they're doing it and you'll be caught up in it without realizing that you are.

Being aware of this is also media literacy. Being aware of the narrative tools used to affect your thinking is media literacy. Deciding on your own whether you agree with an author or not is media literacy. Enjoying characters doing bad things and allowing authors to create flawed or cruel characters for the sake of a story is perfectly fine, but it is not the same as being media literate. Being smug about how you never think an author has bad intentions tells me you're edgy, not that you're media literate. You can't use one rule to apply to all media. That's not how media literacy works. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Aheem heem. Anyway.

Do you ever do requests? If so, do you ever plan on drawing some Yandere with the Hantengu clones? :D hope you have a good day/night!!!

Mentioning an unfamiliar name

yes!! I love yanderes.. and these guys.. these guys are such good material...... nods nods..

I'm not sure about requests..I assume you mean drawing requests? I suppose if it REALLY catches my interest enough, I'd do it, but it'd probably just be line art/sketches.

i like how leverage throws in random details that are never elaborated on. hardison gets himself a front row seat at the oscars each year, but we only see that in a single throwaway flashback. parker broke a guy's fingers for touching her and it wasn't even a plot point, it was just one in a series of memories of stabbings and so forth. eliot continually knows extremely specific information which implies some extremely specific scenarios he's been in. the more we find out about sophie's backstory, the more questions it raises about what the hell is wrong with her. and the more we find out about nate's backstory, the more questions it raises about what the hell is wrong with him.

Possible outcomes of being on a Dropout.tv gameshow:

- get physically tortured by grant anthony o'brian

- experience what it's like to be in a fucked up unethical experiment from the 50s, all at the hands of sam reich

- have all your secrets exposed to the world with lily du

- have a nice time discussing nerd culture with ify nwadiwe (or get extremely competitive)
