ugh the whole "queer is a slur uwu" bs is like every single goddamn word used to describe someone who is NOT hetero has been used as a slur, derogatorily, as an insult. Growing up in the 90s as a kid, then a teen in the early 2000s, GAY was used an insult, "you're so gay", "that's so gay," "ew don't be gay" were COMMON phrases slung at people.

Fag, homo, queer, fairy, limp wrist, gay, dyke, lesbo, were all used against folk.

So sure if YOU personally prefer not to be called a word, that's your right, but you have NO right to tell ME what I prefer to be called.

And also academically, there is queer theory, queer history etc. which is still used. A lot of people switch between queer or LGBTQA+ but even that using the whole alphabet has controversy. Like there has been SO much debate what the Q and A even stand for and mean different things to different people.

Queer is an umbrella term that has been used since the 1990s.

If you don't like it, then don't use it, but don't be a fucking COP ABOUT IT.

maybe i'm just picky, maybe i'm too "traditional", maybe i have unreasonable standards but why is it so hard to keep and make girl friends nowadays?

the list of reasons why i've stopped being friends with the people i knew for years are: they are too boy crazy, priorities out of whack, they're friends with people who have done horrible things to women, are friends with people who have horrible manners and morals

why it's so hard to make friends with many people is because their hands are constantly glued to their phone, they open their mouth and you can tell right off the bat they parrot opinions they hear on tiktok and mask it as their own, this aesthetic- that aesthetic, have a partner and make them their only focus (if my partner is free, then i'm free. hey, let's finally hang out after 4 months!! or oh sorry, i have to cancel, my partner xyz- whatever lame last minute plan came up) and aren't consistent with real life connections and can only uphold friendships through text

Urban Legends

You know? Like anyone else, I love a good urban legend.

That is until people take them too seriously.

Take Slender Man for example.

Two young girls attempted to kill their friend because Slender Man told them to.

This has actually happened a couple times.

Skin Walkers;

Imagine you get lost in some woods. You know these woods are highly populated, so you call out for help.

No one comes to your help because they think your screams are a Skin Walker trying to led them to a trap.

See where I'm going?

Don't. Let. Urban. Legends. Take. Control. Of. Your. Life.

Tbh, the scariest thing in reality are humans and their gulliblility (is that a word? Let's pretend that's a word).

Sad that has to be said, but non of these urban legends are real. They're stories, nothing more nothing less.

Pupa ✢ The writing reads:

Time envelops and keeps me Not awake / Not asleep In this chrysalis / In this shroud I am stillborn / I am buried alive Yet I change / I am changing / And I ache Held still

I started this over a year ago and came back to it periodically, but I decided to just finally finish it. It’s morphed, undone itself, and transformed many times in the process of illustrating it. Sincerely, I considered giving up on the piece. I am glad I didn’t despite its awkwardness; I admit that it doesn’t sit in the eye well. But somehow I feel that it suits the piece and what it means.

I am, if anything, relieved to have finished an illustration finally. It’s been nearly eight months since my last. Prints are available in my shop. (I also have mini prints for $5cad/$3.40usd!)

Days in the League of Assassins and being a babysitter: Little Damian, 5 y.o.

Jason and young Damian were in a training room, tasked with fighting each other so Ra's al Ghul could train his grandson.

Ra’s (frustrated): Jason, you’ve been standing there for fifteen minutes. Spar! Begin!

Jason (flatly while checking his fingernails for any hang nails): No.

Ra’s: I need to see if he can fight! Fight the boy, he can handle it!

Little Damian held up his tiny fists, circling them around and ready to fight. Jason shook his head with a smile making Damian pause and sway back and forth.

Jason: This is fucked up, and I’m not doing it. Don’t say fucked, Damian.

Damian nodded silently. He looked down at his shoes, opening and closing them as if he were a penguin.

Jason (holding his arm out towards Damian): I’m not attacking him. He’s not at the piss-me-off age yet!

Ra’s: Allah, give me patience. You’re not around him all the time, I am! He's a true terror most of the time. Just look at that face!

Jason glanced at Damian, who slowly blinked frog-like, then waved at his brother.

Jason (sarcastic): Uh-huh, real demon child. Looks like he'll suck my soul. Well… he is related to you.

Ra’s: اذهب إلى الجحيم — that’s a compliment if anything! Don’t repeat the first part, Damian.

Damian: Okay. Akhi Jason, what’s that on your shoe?

Jason looked down at his shoes, confused, only to be met with a staff to the head. He winced, clutching his sore head, ready to fight, until he realized it was Damian who had hit him.

Damian (snickering): Got you. Now fall down or be prepared for another bop to the head!

Jason rolled his eyes but dramatically fell to the ground to give Damian the win. The little boy pressed his foot on Jason’s arm, triumphant.

Damian: I win!

Ra’s: That doesn’t—

Jason: Ra’s, finish that sentence, and I’m shooting you in the kneecaps!

Ra's: Oh, fine! Damian, you win. Adequate job.

Jason (handing Damian candy from his pocket): Here ya go.

Damian (happy): A fruit chew!

Ra's: Stop giving him American sweets!

to clarify for the new chapter of dead man’s party since I keep getting comments on it (and on the last chapter): yes Jason is Red Hood, so he works with strippers and respects them. yes, he grew up around working girls like that and is familiar with strippers/dancers/etc. AND, all those things can be true and he can still get flustered the first time his post-Pit ass sees a stripper clap their heels in his face and try to show him her G-string. being familiar with the game in theory doesn’t make you less susceptible to it!

the whole point of that fic is that he came back as badass Red Hood, but despite being bigger and grown up after the Pit, he still missed out on some important development emotionally. he shoots people but he gets flustered by the idea of a lap dance. yes! both can be true at the same time. and trying to pretend you’re not missing that chunk of development is what gets Jason into a lot of trouble in that fic. when he tries to play along and prove that he’s not missing it, and no one around him is any the wiser, he only ends up hurting himself.

Can we make NOT romanticizing and normalizing Yandere and pretty much any type of toxic or unhealthy relationships a thing, i'm so tired of trying to find chuuya fics just to see "Yandere chuuya x reader!!" Shit come up, like no chuuya wouldn't rape and beat the shit out of me if i tried to break up with him.

its so annoying when a ship w two character is toxic and people just call it like "Toxic Yuri!!! 🥵🥵🥵🥵😍😍" like its a good thing and that its hot. I hate how 'normal' its become to have unhealthy relationships is, its not hot that your bf or gf doesn't let you have friends of the same gender, its not hot that they make you tell them where you are at all times and its not hot that they try to control your life.

Can we normalize calling out weirdos who post shit like "I want a gf who would lock me up in her basement" "Stalking him to make sure he isn't cheating or talking to any other girls" "Killing any girl that tries to come near him>w<!!!" You're admitting to wanting to commit crimes! Being a yandere isn't hot, kidnapping, murder, stalking ect isn't hot!

And i have a feeling this might also start an argument like the post i made about incest writers🤦‍♂️ i dont wanna see anyone even trying to excuse this type of shit

[gorefatale]

If everyone just stopped pretending like they don't remember what Tim said to Damian abt handshakes (when Damian first arrived), let's be real most people wouldn't gaf abt some "Damian nearly killed Tim" cause HE KINDA DESERVED THAT???? HE LOWKEY DESERVED THAT SHIT TF 😭🙏🏻

Plus they're cool now so we all know Tim learned smth that day ♡

i really think people nowadays assume that they’re OWED fan content, and completely forget the PEOPLE behind the content they claim to love.

people don’t leave kudos. they don’t comment unless it’s nasty/critical. they don’t reblog.

and you wonder why you can’t find any content? maybe it’s bc the creators you claimed to love so much stopped sharing their work bc people didn’t seem to appreciate it/treated them like shit

we aren’t some AI spurting out crap. We’re humans putting little pieces of our souls out there for you to share a little joy.

i just wish more people would remember that, and be a lot more appreciative than entitled little shits.

Doing another RWBY hatedom rant because people seemed to like the last one and I have more to say:

I absolutely despise it when people call Yang selfish and a terrible sister in Volume 9 when it came to Ruby’s struggles with her mental health. I have two main issues.

1. People seem to think that because Yang is Ruby’s big sister then she needs to always be at her beck and call. She can’t disagree with Ruby. She can’t let Ruby do things on her own. She can’t focus on herself or her happiness. She must always be focusing on Ruby. That’s not how relationships, especially sibling ones, work. People seem to think that Yang must sacrifice everything for Ruby and if she is anything less than that then she is a terrible sister. Do people forget how much Yang had given up for Ruby?! She raised her! She sacrificed her life for her! As soon as she was ready to went to go find Ruby in Volume 5 instead of her mom, which she had wanted to do for most of her life! I fully believe that if Raven didn’t have her portal semblance, which made finding/getting to Ruby MUCH easier, Yang would not have bothered. Yang loves her sister so much! But just because she’s a big sister does not mean that she isn’t allowed to struggle or focus on herself.

2. Here’s the big reason. As someone who has had to deal with a VERY similar experience in my life it absolutely infuriates me when people call Yang a terrible person and sister. I won’t go into too much detail because it’s not my place and I’d rather keep the information private but a couple years ago my sister hit a very low point mentally and it got very scary. (She’s doing much better now don’t worry). Here’s something that most people don’t realize when someone very close to you is going through something like Ruby did: You don’t tend to realize how bad it is. I knew that my sister had her struggles, but I genuinely thought she was doing alright. Afterwards I felt like such a terrible person because I wished that I noticed more and wished she had told me what was going on. This is exactly how Yang felt! She knew her sister was struggling, but didn’t realize just how bad Ruby’s mental state had gotten. She would try to comfort Ruby, not realizing that it was making it worse. She wished that Ruby had told her so that she could help her. It’s a really shitty situation to be in. This is on top of the fact that all of team RWBY were in a very stressful situation after having witnessed the fall of Atlas. I don’t think any of them were in great headspace’s, Ruby was just in a much worse place.

Honestly the entirety of Volume 9, in my opinion, was very realistic in its portrayal of mental health issues both as the person struggling with it and as the people around them. These situations are messy, complicated, and are never straightforward. Trying to treat it as anything else really shows that people don’t know what they’re talk about.

Yang is a good sister. She’s not perfect, but guess what? No one is! Remember we as an audience know so much more than the characters do. Just because characters don’t handle a situation perfectly doesn’t mean they’re garbage.

I'm so tired of Twitter recommending me negative/complaining tweets like there's one by a KR Kuroshitsuji fan who posted these pics of Sebastian from 3 different seasons and said how S4 and S5 art style is not as good as the one in older seasons. Of course there are also replies chiming in, agreeing with their take, asking why the new Sebastian has orange eyes instead of red eyes, whining "BRING BACK SEBASTIAN I MISS HIM😭😭😭" And I was like??????? (I muted those people later on lol)

And then I realised why these people are complaning about Sebastian's new art style! Turns out most of them are anime-only watchers LMAOOOOO I doubt they actually read the manga to understand things such as why CloverWorks changed Sebastian's eyes into orange/tea brown color (literally this is the eye color that Yana specified before) whenever he's in his human disguise. ALSO BITCH CAN'T YOU SEE HIS EYES TURN BACK TO OUR FAVOURITE SHADE OF RED WHENEVER HE'S IN COMBAT OR SLIPPING BACK INTO DEMON MODE?????? Not to mention the new anime style does look similar to Yana's new manga style. I noticed how most of these discourses circle back around Sebastian not looking as fly and pale as before, and I know it's just them hating Sebastian's new babygirlism look xD If you read the manga, you would know him appearing more human and less pale is the whole point of his human disguise! Otherwise he would already had his identity as a demon exposed to the public and he clearly wants to avoid that at all costs *looks at that manga panel of Bravat saying that Sebastian isn't exactly human and Sebastian looking shocked asf sksk*

In the end, I just want to say, we should be grateful that Kuro anime adaptation is in the good hands of CloverWorks at the moment, and that it didn't end up with poor animation like some other anime. Be grateful that we are getting a new season after SO MANY YEARS, especially in the 2020s! Don't get me wrong, I love all of the anime styles of Kuro, each style has its own charm and beauty, let's not pit them against one another🙏🏻 If you want the old studio to take over Kuro anime adaptation again, you should go to Japan yourself to request it specifically lmao I know JP fans are absolutely in love with CloverWorks style of Kuro at the moment based on Yana's comment on the new season! She literally said she was moved to tears after seeing the S5 opening🥺
