went on a roadtrip yesterday with my sister to try and find the new jakks line because i reallyyyy want jet the hawk and super silver. 3 states and probably over 2 dozen stores later we... did not find them. at all. anywhere. but i did grab some new stuff for my collection! the tornado set was on clearance and walmart checklanes remain excellent for finding older 2.5" waves. still haven't found a silver or neutral chao but i'm hopeful for the future :-)

(i already have 4" chaos and knuckles and 2.5" dark chao and metal so i grabbed those for @tinyaibou!)

[id: a photo of various sonic the hedgehog merchandise: a plush of classic metal sonic; two 4" jakks-pacific action figures (knuckles the echidna and chaos); a sonic 2 tornado biplane playset; six 2.5" jakks-pacific action figures (modern eggman, classic metal sonic, dark chao, classic knuckles, classic eggman, and motobug); a vector die-cast car; and three good2grow juices featuring sonic, shadow, and tails. /end id]

Every time I look at my canning-specific ladle, I get a little overwhelmed about how much thought went into it, and how beautiful it is for such a simple thing.

It has a little hook on the back, so you can hang it off the edge of the pot, and it doesn't get your stove messy or your ladle contaminated with stovetop germs.

It has a pointy front that gets right into the bottom corner of the pot so you can scrape out the last bits of salsa or jam.

It's got pouring spouts on either side, so left or right handed people can easily use it.

If you fill it right to the top, it holds exactly enough to fill a half-pint jar with 1/4" head space, the correct amount of head space for most water bath recipes.

It's pretty! It's red and white! Look at this pretty red scoop with its pretty white handle!

The person or people who designed this object did so with deep knowledge and understanding of the process of canning food. They made it beautiful and functional. This and its matching funnel are probably literally the best $25 I've ever spent on any hobby.

But I'm really just overwhelmed about how much thought went into this simple object.

Aren't people neat?

I've loved Lavellan's tarot card for a really long time so I finally did a redraw fitting my own inquisitor :)

Learning to internalize the message above, but art is in all of our bones. If you feel afraid to create art because it won't be "good enough," it's worth it to explore why you feel that fear. Creating art is one of the basic impulses of people, and if you want to create art, then you absolutely must.

the local theatre chain rereleased sonic 2 for 3 days for their family film series!! i brought a different sonic 2 build-a-bear each day and had so much fun.

unless we get another surprise rerelease i think this marks the end of my sonic 2 journey with a totally normal movie theater viewing count of... 11 times.

[id: three photos of sonic movie 2 build-a-bear plushes held in front of a movie theater screen. from left to right: a sonic the hedgehog plush wearing a leather jacket and rainbow bandana; a tails plush wearing overalls and a floral shirt; and a knuckles the echidna plush wearing a floral shirt. /end id]

Hey perisex artist/writer! yes, you! No, your character's entire made up species being physically hermaphroditic does not make them intersex. There is no such thing as an "entirely intersex species". That is not how being intersex works. Being intersex means deviating from the "standard" sex categorization. If an entire species shares the same hermaphroditic characteristics they are not intersex, they just literally only have one hermaphroditic sex. Just because it doesnt fit human sex standards doesn't make it intersex, it's literally a different species.

Don't get me wrong, it's always great seeing people be creative with how sex classification of fantasy species deviates from human sex. But please don't call it intersex. It isn't.

Edit:

Actually just going to edit this into the original post in hopes it means more people see it cuz it's an important add on

[ ID: Post by @/status-quo-hater, which reads: "Adding on to this, if your fictional hermaphroditic species is sapient/people it's in incredibly poor taste to call them hermaphrodites or God forbid 'herms' even if it is an accurate term.

I would recommend using botany terms like monecious (as opposed to dioecious), gynandromorph, dualsex, bigenital, or the term I coined recently for this, gonosimulism (as opposed to gonochorism)". /End ID ]

And on another note please stop asking if in such a species it would be intersex to only have one type of genital. The answer is technically sure but you're rapidly approaching "what if being gay was the default and straight people were discriminated against" territory. If you unironically label a character who conforms to the human sex binary "intersex", no matter if their species is usually hermaphroditic, intersex people should be allowed to hunt you for sport

they went to the loona concert

[id: two photos of plushes. in the left photo, a sonic the hedgehog plush, smiling happily, is held up in front of a stage that reads "loona 1st world tour: loonatheworld". in the right photo, a shadow the hedgehog plush is held up in front of the same stage, with a frown on his face. /end id]

i love you, people who bring sonic plushies out to random places and take photos. it sparks joy

very straightforward redraw because this quest and this whole scene have been ON my mind.

[sickly-sapphic]

apparently "include intersex people" is too high a standard for a lot of the queer community, but I don't think it should be optional anymore tbh. include intersex people or die by my sword 🤺

'Life in the hands of Helio'

Warning for graphic description of gore + injury below

↓

[Image Description:

With his throat slit, blood bubbling up into his mouth and soaking into his white collared shirt, Buddy Dawn struggles in the arms of Kristen Applebee's. His eyes are wide, unseeing, and hands come up to try and grasp onto Kristen as some kind of anchor, mutedly pleading for help.

Kristen's hand hovers above his throat, unable to help him with his death all but promised by his own party leader, Kipperlilly, and her god too far out of reach. She is panicked and resigned to only hold the kid she had hated moments ago. There is no miracle, no burst of light from the crystals in her pocket, when Buddy Dawn dies.

There is a visual parallel, with both Kristen and Buddy being dotted with freckles and something familiar in their eyes. If there had never been 'The Bad Kids', if she'd never asked to be put in detention with the intent to convert people to Helio, would she have ended up the same way?

Buddy had once said "I don't hold on tight, 'cause I'm in someones hand [...] You know Helio is holding onto us tight." but there is no Helio in sight, only Kristen. All that is left is for Buddy to go and meet his so-called-god and ask why he let him die, unaware he will not get an answer.]

The leftism/anticapitalism leaving people's bodies the zeptosecond you imply that disabled people who aren't "productive" still matter in society and need to be treated like intrinsic equals who have a place in this world:
