my most piping hot historical/academic take is that people who condemn "historians" at large for not applying modern sexuality and gender labels to historical figures are incredibly annoying at best.
#maddie meows#like idk i think it's fine to recognize certain figures as gay or trans etc etc colloquially#but the wider cultural context they lived under NEEDS to be taken into an account in academic circles#and often those cultures and time periods did not conceptualize sexuality and gender in the same way as us#it is inaccurate to say that like. idk. michelangelo was “gay” because that is a modern label.#we don't know how someone like michelangelo would define himself if given access to our modern terminology#so imo it's inherently dishonest to label him and similar figures that way#it doesn't mean it's bad to want to see people like you throughout history#nor does it mean using modern terminology is bad or inherently harmful shorthand- i think it can be useful for sure!#but idk let's not act like “The Historians” are performing purposeful censorship rather than#-at least nowadays-#typically just being honest#idk some of this is also just my personal thoughts re:labels coming up i think#like... idk. the way i see it#the words we use to describe our experiences can be very important and i don't wanna discount that#but they're not like. “real”. you know?? they're not inherent to anything#we made them up to describe groups of people with similar experiences#but language is inherently mutable? the language is not irrevocably tied to the experience is what i'm saying#so like... i can recognize a historical figure has similar experiences to me regarding sexuality or w/e#but to me what makes me the labels i am is that i choose to use those labels#it's a choice influenced by my experiences but i don't “have” to do anything wrt labels lol#so i do feel cautious about saying any personally unlabeled historical figure just “was” anything.#i don't know what they'd choose to use for themself if they knew what terms we had nor will i ever in most cases#idk. just rambling here lol

brienne but she's wearing 1949 cocteau's beauty and the beast inspired fit!!! this is the inspo pic i used if ur curious.
gonna be posting more of this redesign thing (and also jaime's ver) some time in the future but i just wanted to share this one <3
#brienne of tarth#asoiaf#mine.#u know literally just as i finished colouring this i found that some theater made an opera version of this batb#and they made belle's dress BLUE...which is a win for me and also not bc they made it light blue#but here it's supposed to be velvet.. idk if it comes across as velvet but that's the fabric of choice lol.#but im gonna ramble because i really like the concept... i love brienne in pearls!! i feel like pearls will be her jewellery of choice#and i talked abt this before in some post but i think tarth regalia would have a lot of pearls just bc they're an island#and i think they would export pearls alongside marble lol#i love brienne in silver and pearls BUT the reason why the flower thing on her cape is gold bc in the film#the pearl chain was actually a gift from the beast. so she's wearing jaime's gift. and i made the cape more silvery white (leaning on white#to resemble his cloak so it's like... jaime gifting her his white cloak..... hihihIHIHIhhihihihihi......#tbh i drew that concept before too BUT I JUST LIKE IT!!!!!!!! i want it to happen actually....please....thank u..#also the feathers in her hair is bc i want to accessorize her in a brienne way BUT ALSO supposed to be like the plumes knights wore in thei#helm. she's wearing trousers in the fit btw only the upper half of the design is based on beauty but the silhouette mimics beasts' more.#but anyway i really like this design!! bc it's a bit ott but also not in a way that seems out of character for her? idk LOL

ive been thinking about the red string superstition recently and also sol bufo always and it makes me sick how uncannily caldwell tanner has made sol to perfectly target me personally
(+ cropped versions !)
#naddpod#ba2mia#ba2umia#solum bufo#swag daniels#calliope petrichor#calder kilde#alexandrite#posts by me dot com#okay..... SECRET TAGS RAMBLE!#so basically this superstition is like ... i think a chinese/buddhist/taoist superstition?#ive taken some creative liberties with it... but its mostly accurate to how its been told to me?#but of course theres lots of variations! some more abt bad luck; some say to tie it on the doorknob#etc etc ... lots a variations#i was also rlly interested in the .... weird illogic? of the thing?#like the red attracts and repels spirits at the same time#so thats something i was thinking about with too. red is assocuated with both swag and alexandrite. which to me was kinda reflecting like#i think what murph said . swags place in the wild is in a way. an extension of what he learned from the network#mothership s inextractivle from sol and swags lives. they will always be held doen by it. thats the spirit that will follow them forever#that they choose to hold on too! as much pain as it brought ... some of the experience was worth it#and anyway. theres somethingwrong w me that the minute someone brought up this superstition my brain went#'ohhh just like sol!' < needs to touch grass moment#but i CANT BELIEVE. CALDWELL DID THE RED STRING. AND ITS LITERALLY A MOURNING RITUAL#caldwell keeps accodentally makig that frog ASIAN. to MEEEE!!!!!!#but. anyway. idk. ive always hced sol kept the piece of yarn and it makes me kinda .... what if y let the malicious spirits follow you.#and haunt you. what if its the closest you can get to keeping the person still around#and sol and swag obviously have so much about homes .... so!#(ok. weve reached the pt where maybe nobodys reading? so confession is this is sort of a well. ive just been doodling this comic everyday#after a wake. and it was sort of inspired after realising i was even a bit sad about it maybe. so. idk its about sol but also?#i guess the projection doesnt end at him being asian. hehe. is what i mean. LOL. okay secret tags over . buried lore. dont look here folks)

Chara Week Day 5: Ghost
Every time I see that machine in the True Lab, I wonder if it could possibly be Chara's soul in there? Probably unlikely, but not impossible... It's interesting to think about what the implications of that would be.
A version with no text and then a version with just the machine, because I think it looks pretty cool and ominous alone as well.....
#chara week#chara week 2023#undertale#safeutdr#chara dreemurr#my art#chara#undertale chara#chara undertale#true lab#I'm just thinking that. while it's possible that their soul shattered when they and Asriel died. we don't actually KNOW what happened#and human souls persist for a little while after death..... idk I'm bad at coming up with theories but I'm Thinking about it#and I will continue thinking about it even though it's probably not significant at all#ANYWAY it gave me a cool art idea so here you go. and hrm. yes technically I got that line from the Stay Calm fnaf fansong. specifically.#i don't like fnaf but the song is cool........... I'm pretty sure it gave me the idea for this drawing when i sketched it last may#btw yeah that's why i did this drawing specifically for this prompt. i had the sketch lying around and thought it would be fun to finish#ALSO I'm realizing that the dark ominous backgrounds of the True Lab are soooo fun to draw. especially with red glowy effects#AUGH oh no....... my habit of rambling excessively in the tags is returning........ I'll stop now lol

I drew something to go along with it, because I saw a drawing pose on pinterest and-- well-- here we are
---- A Human Function to Study ----
The alchemist nodded, his eyes keenly observing how Kaeya’s nostrils quivered, the edges flared and twitched in response to each stroke of the feather.
“Anything else you could add?”
Kaeya sniffled sharply, his voice was unsteady as his body was preparing to sneeze. “Like…I hHh–I r-really nehHh…hhh….need to snHhehH–! S-sneeze–!”
Albedo hummed, still tickling Kaeya’s nose, pushing Kaeya to the breaking point. “Interesting–”
“ hHh’ihH–Ih’tTSCHhh!! eHEH’tCHH’uhh!! hHh’EH’TSHHhh!!”
A rapid triple burst out of Kaeya, catching Albedo’s hand in the crossfire. Not that either of them actually minded. Kaeya’s whole body shook with each desperate sneeze. Four, five, six, was he done yet? Kaeya felt relieved when the sneezes had finally come out. It was torture attempting to talk about it while being tickled like that.
----
#mochiissnzart#snz#snz art#sneeze#sneeze fic#i still struggle to draw Al/bedo after all these years but at least there's definitely improvement#KA/EYA IS SO PRETTY i love that pretty man but also ka/eya WTF are you wearing i still don't understand his top?????#sketching/lining skills improvment too when i have refs :D omg lol#50/50 chance i eyeball the hair and it looks good w/o rough sketch#i think i've drawn ka/eya enough to know tho lol#sorry i ramble so much im just i see improvement each time i draw for myself and i'm so happy about it#some of you here might remember my old Kae/be/do art haha and yeaaaa#but occassional bursts of happiness are rare these days haha 😭#eventually 😭 i /will/ draw my ocs and they /will/ be pretty#that is my goal - to draw my pretty ocs in more than just single frames and heads#i /really really really/ want to draw a oneshot manhwa .....is it possible? ofc. the motivation/time? ehh thats a different story idk#still experimenting slighlty with style because sometimes it uhh is sloppier when i'm being lazy t-t for now ill just keep studying stuff#kae/ya#al/bedo#gen/shin#mochiisart#i promise this isnt ad-ing for my fic xD i just like drawing my thoughts..#ge/nshin

love it when the autistic experience of not fully belonging anywhere and always being on the fringes of whatever community you find yourself in. of masking to belong even slightly and still knowing that you don’t really Belong and that the people you surround yourself with Don’t Really Care about you and being the butt of a joke you don’t understand and being in your own little bubble, not as a safe space but as a result of being isolated from everyone else because no matter where you are you are autistic and you just can’t belong, is replicated in fandom spaces. in spaces for things you love and enjoy. love that so much
#cal.txt#this is about many things#autism#autism posting#autistic experiences#naturally this is about babyjack and jacks entire fandom treatment but again. it’s also about many other things#spn#spn fandom#jack kline#autistic jack kline#autistic representation#online spaces#fandom spaces#tiktok#actually autistic#lolcow#im just in a bad mood and rambling I think. sorryyyy lol#like. jackgirls don’t even exist to the other —Girls in the fandom we have no standing here we are all in our own bubble#and it’s nice to have something to yourself but not when it’s only a result of outward isolation#idk#I am. not feeling great today#I haven’t been feeling great in a while . awesome love thatc#the horrors never cease#sorry yea this is me feeling like utter garbage ab the divide between —girls in the spn fandom but also me hating the world that I live in#this is what happens when I can’t sit under the hot shower and let the water hit my limp body (pressure gauge broke)

its still rough but as far as im gonna get for now, cant decide on the tentacle colors still nkfdnvkdfn
possible name for lad is Pan or Paktolos (just bc .. reference to midas legend even if this midas got nothing to do with it; oh yeah, a bonus midas sketch .. he needs a proper redesign too)
tentacle lad may look mean here (i genuinely dont know why i drew him like that) but hes a big sappy softie, even carries a picture of midas in a locket around- next to the demon teeth hes collected he doesnt leave the island much anymore and mostly manages everything on it, his people call him by royal titles sometimes bc hes been a very competent leadership figure but he doesnt put value in any titles-
he rescued midas from the demon hunters that kidnapped him years ago to bring one of the biggest and most influencial empires to collapse after his older sister, who was the empress, was unexpectedly dying- midas being the next in line the empire doesnt really exist anymore at this point, midas now leading missions around the island instead, or going around keeping up to date with politics and tensions since his husband (tentacle lad) and his people are of a kind that is largely being kept a secret and would be a target for demon hunters as well, despite them not being demons (they look monstrous but are more based on animals, are native to earth, cannot change form, age only somewhat slower than humans and have no control over any elemental magic more than a very skilled human can have- which is basically not even noticable and usually gets passed off as 'talent' in the way a skilled sailor can feel the approaching weather in the wind)
#ganondoodles#art#character design#oc#original character#anthro#??#idk#calling them a furry always feels kinda weird bc they got no fur!!#but labeling them as scalies or whatever doesnt do it either#so anthro it is i guess#or .. just monsters#even thought they are less monstrous than demons#anyway#here i go rambling on about ocs lol#it is way too late#happy to answer asks about ocs even if post very little about them all there is .... so much lore#if you think destiny has alot of lore oh boi you dont know my original projects#(ill TRY to answer anything ........... i know i suck at that ..... i still cherish it)

Happy Birthday to Ferdinand von Aegir!
I actually made 33 emotes, affectionately known as Aegirglyphics to some, for my own personal use on discord. However, I figure why not share some of them! They're free to use for discord servers/icons/pfps or whatever. However, my only request is Do NOT use them as subscriber emotes on Twitch. You can make them free follower emotes but you are not to make them locked behind a paywall.
#fe three houses#ferdinand von aegir#discord emotes#i thought long and hard about this bc idk the actual want for emotes i made ages ago but#i still love my son and its his bday ad so i should be nice and share#since i no longer have nitro and can no longer use them myself#the fact i can technically post 30 at once was tempting but#some of them arent living up to my standards and also just might not be easy to use in most contexts#so those im gonna skip on lol#whoever wants 21 aegirglyphics tho have at em#i think i might have posted some before? but only 10 and i dont recall which ones#if you want a secret the last three and the middle on the second row are my favorites to use#i used concernednand (the upper one) so much#the internet concerns me guys it was a valid use every time#debated sharing heartnand but honestly the world could benefit from it imo because gotta spread that love#fun lil trivia i love making emotes and so when i was in a server and people knew me as the ferdinand fan and artist#someone was like why hasnt salmon made a ferdinand emote yet#and im like bc i dont run the server and i cant just demand they add my art#and then a mod was like i didnt wanna put pressure on salmon but i thought about it so i was like bet#and then drew a server exclusive happy ferdinand emote#and that was the start of me somehow being able to have like.... ten emotes in that server#some of them were just me joking and then mods encouraging me#cause i used to use felix for every single art prompt theyd give and one week someone said the prompt was pog#and i just was so upset because dude why would i wanna draw felix for that hes not pog#so a mod was like hey if you make a pog felix emote we ill add it to the emotes here#so i once again was like bet and then posted it and then they really added it lmao#anyway sorry for so many rambles please feel free to use them on discord in whatever server#i cant really expect everyone to credit me but also im not really concerned since i fear people know my nands a mile away

honestly im really enjoying the plot in mgafs but especially bc of eclipse and how he is as a character
hes become something more neutral. he isnt a villain nor a "good guy". hes just. a guy. he doesnt even want to be here but he doesnt have much of a choice. he tolerates ppls existence as much as he can without exploding. he does care about ppl but he hides it under a guise of "im doing this for myself and anyone who benefits from this is just a side effect" and honestly i love that so fucking much. like. he very much gives a shit about earth and at one point emphasized that she would not get hurt. tho when questioned about it he dodges the question. in fact, every time someone brings up earth and how defensive he is he avoids it. i feel like not even he himself wants to confront how he feels
then theres also puppet. their relationship is like the extrovert adopting the introvert type thing (its also like that with earth but puppet is more forceful and the more "ur never getting rid of me" type). he, again, doesnt admit that he cares. and honestly he probably didnt give a flying fuck about her in the beginning. the main reason he even went on the whole quest to help with the other puppet was bc he would also be effected, even if he was in another dimension (also bc he didnt want it to hurt earth but shhhh). but now he does seem to show some form of concern towards puppet at certain times. its also incredibly entertaining to watch puppet keep pushing at his limits. makes me think of that one video where a crow kept fucking with an eagle. just kept nipping and getting in its face then running away. thats what it feels like lmao
also like. almost every time he defended someone theres always been some kinda excuse he could make that gives him an out with saying that it was also for his benefit. probably the only time he defended someone and wouldnt get personal benefit out of it was when he confronted ruin and told him to keep earth out of it. tho, luckily for him, nobody was there to witness it and question it (unless moon was there bc i dont remember it exactly >.>).
which, yes, probably a lot of things that he does is for his own benefit. but he'd be completely fine with abandoning the ppl he was helping. in multiple situations he didnt have to help them. he wouldve been just fine and able to get out of the situation without them making out with him. and yet he did. and yet he purposely made room for them to follow.
idk man. just watching him develop as a character and going from someone who didnt give a flying fuck about anybody into actually giving a bit of a shit is fascinating. also even more entertaining to see just how desperately he tries to hide it
#birdcage rambles#sun and moon show#sams#the sun and moon show#tsams#tsams eclipse#mgafs#monty gator and foxy show#tmgafs#the monty gator and foxy show#tsams earth#mgafs puppet#btw when talking about their relationships its more of a neutral/can be interpreted however u want kinda way#is it familial? is it platonic? is it romantic?#idk man u choose#mainly cuz in canon neither have a defined label for wut it is#im just trying to be neutral and focus more on facts rather than try and steer it a certain way with biases#but anyway yeah eclipse is my favorite character can u tell#i love him hes so complex and interesting#hes like probably one of the few truly neutral guys#monty is also neutral but eh idc much lol#im thinkin about MY BOY OVER HERE#anyway#send post
