I was raised as a guy, and I'm always getting ads for fitness/weight loss programs, and it's honestly depressing, because the hyper masculinity attached to all of it makes fitness and weight loss seem unattainable. I'm definitely not interested in the culture they're selling, but all of the ads make it seem part and parcel. So, it honestly just makes me feel bad about myself.
Like, they don't help anyone, they just make you feel like shit. And... I dunno, I feel like a corporation paying money to blast you with a constant, neverending stream of images mostly designed to make you Feel Bad Enough To Buy Their Product (tm) shouldn't be allowed?
they should make weight loss ads illegal and I’m not kidding

ok I gotta know, what are you HCs for HTBYD (How To Bread Your Dragon)??
Okay, so How to Bread your Dragon is still VERY much in development, so all of this is subject to change, but here we go:
1: Hiccup likes to bake bread in the shape their dragons for his fellow riders, using nuts and such for smaller details (I plan on illustrating this at some point >:3)
2: The dragons on Berk LOVE Hiccup's bread. They absolutely love it. To the point where Hiccup has to make extra bread for them
3: Toothless is an awesome bread kneader. He makes the best biscuits. (Don't worry though, Hiccup cleans his paws off first)
4: Coming back to my Hiccup making bread for the dragons headcanon, Hiccup will also make "healthy" bread for the dragons by tweaking recipes and adding things like fish and animal meats.
5: Toothless always helps light the ovens, it's like Hiccup's secret ingredient. Somehow it's always the correct temperature
These are kinda unrelated to the main plot of HTBYD, but HCs for the other riders!!
1: Snotlout is an archer now, idk why but it just feel like it suits him. Maybe because he feels like the brawn of the group, so having a more distance based weapon fits his character. I feel like his dad would give him shit for it tho (like the bitch that he is)
2: The twins make desserts. Nobody knows how, because they always just put random things in, but they're always weird and always delicious. It's gotten to the point where they try to make them taste bad (It doesn't work) (They also make sauces maybe)
3: Astrid is a butcher now. She grew up on a farmhouse, and she helps her parents with those kinds of things whenever she's around (Baker Hiccup x butcher Astrid is real yall) (Astrid also cannot cook/bake for the life of her)
4: Fishlegs is chef. He's basically the one convincing the twins not to put nightmare gel in their cake to see if it "lights on fire when people eat it". He also helps cook for the gang
5: Hiccup and the gang all team up to make the best sandwiches at lunchtime. They're awesome, the best sandwhiches
But yeah, these are all the main HCs, thank you for listening to my HCs about a dragon rider that bakes bread :D

this is about lesbian sex!! ヽ(♡‿♡)ノ
men and minors dni!!
i mean ig this is obvious based on my last posts but i just love the idea of being friends who are clearly into each other using any and every excuse to fuck. but like. they're so into each other and want each other so bad but are also scared to make a proper move. so that leads to just like. stupid dumb sex
like, i tell you i can only fit one finger in me, so you propose helping me one night when sleeping over. we curl up in my twin bed, you on your side, me on my back, your fingers sliding between the lips of my dripping pussy and fondling with me until i'm gushing everywhere and ready for you. letting me squirt lube onto your fingers until they're glossy and thickly coated, then sliding one into my hole, chuckling at how tightly i latch onto you, my pussy sucking you in. stroking my hair through my pathetic, pained little whimpers, and circling my clit until i ease up and you're pumping in and out of me. holding me and telling me how proud you are of me when i'm able to fit in another, my hips squirming as you brush my g-spot and tell me you love helping me like this.
or you tell me how it's been so long since you've gotten your cock sucked and it's gotten to the point where you can barely keep your head on straight at work. and so, in the middle of our movie night, i suck you off, your hand wrapped tightly into my hair and encourage me to bob my head up and down as my saliva drenches you, leaking down to pool at your balls. you whine how i'm being such a good friend, such a good girl, for taking care of you like this, a sweet, strangled little noise flying from your lips when i massage your balls, coaxing you to come into my mouth.
i one day confess to you on the bus that i think i might be able to squirt, since i have all these tingles when i touch my g-spot. and that night, at your place, you turn me into a writhing, wailing mess as your finger prods and massages at the spot while i flick and rub my clit. you're kissing me, saying it's to keep me quiet so your roommates don't hear, but we can both feel the way you're panting against me, how your lips chase mine when i duck away to gasp for breath. you even suck on my tongue, and somehow, i don't think that's a normal thing to do if we're only kissing for necessity's sake.
and then, i'm squirting, pumps of liquid shooting out of my cunt and spraying all over your t-shirt. i whine out soft little apologies, but like the kind friend you are, you kiss me quiet, mumbling how it's okay and you don't mind it at all and that i looked so nice, coming so hard like that.
when i tell you i've never taken cock and need help, you're so sweet to me :( just pumping your cock in and out so slowly, not going too deep yet, kissing the corner of my mouth and saying that i always should come to your for this kind of help, that you're always gonna be the one who'll take care of me. my good friend, the friend i can trust, my best friend. you promise you'll always look after me, always help me experiment, always prep me. always be there for me.
i cling so hard onto your words, my nails digging into your back and scraping against the skin, because honestly? i wanna make sure that you're claimed and marked as mine, that no other girl gets to have you like this. i know it's selfish, i know it's mean -- after all, i'm your friend, i ought to be helping you out with getting girls. but, i can't. i love being the only one you take care, the only one you fuck into hazy, boneless pleasure as your cock rubs just right against the grooves and roughness of my walls.
when you come in me, groaning as your come gets dumped into me and sloshes against my walls and your dick, creaming us in sticky, white streams, i mumble, "you're mine, you're mine."
you agree, whispering you're only mine, you belong to me.
after tonight, we'll pretend it didn't happen, that we only said it in the heat of the moment because it's hot and enticing and a bit addictive to belong to each other.
yet, no matter what, we keep going back to each other.

Creepypasta AU Headcanons
Tumblr media
Midnight City: Ticci Toby
Tumblr media
★ He is 26, born on April 28th. He's a Taurus sun, Aquarius Moon, Aries Rising, Gemini Mercury, Libra Venus, Sagittarius Mars, Cancer Jupiter, Aries Saturn, Aquarius Neptune, Sagittarius Pluto.
★ Toby is 5'11" and is pretty slim, but has a bit of muscle mass. It's taken him a lot of time to grow due to CIPA and delayed growth hormones. He doesn't get many chances to have nutritious meals, given his proxy status.
★ Is from a lower middle class family from Denver, Colorado with German descent on his mother's side. Connie taught him quite a but of German, so sometimes he'll speak what he can remember.
★ His amnesia caused him to forget Lyra and his parents, but the C-PTSD he suffers from gives him anxiety around cars, hospitals, older women with dark hair, and men with light hair. He's subconsciously platonically attracted to women with lighter hair.
★ Toby has a cute, boy-ish face. Even though his right cheek is chewed through, he still has some softness to his face, but otherwise has a strong, defined jawline.
★ Thick brows all day. Very expressive and uses them a lot when communicating.
★ His non-verbal tics include cracking his knuckles, whistling, cracking his neck, bending backwards, turning his head to the side, and snapping his left hand repeatedly.
★ Some of his verbal tics are "Hi!" "Hey!" "Fuck!"
★ He doesn't get much sleep, so he has pretty sunken in eyes with dark circles, but his eyes themselves are a dark brown and still have a light to them. He's a sad boy, but there's some sunshine left in him.
★ Loves to take walks alone and talk to himself for hours. He'll entertain the voices in his head just as much as they entertain him. One can often find him laughing to himself and cracking jokes.
★ Even thought he's a generally upbeat guy, there's still a storm inside. More often than not, the voices are volatile and tell him to hurt himself and others. If it gets really bad, he'll go out and find someone to kill just to shut them up. He won't hurt himself, even thought he can't feel it. He knows the importance of keeping himself as healthy as possible due to his multiple conditions.
★ Works for Slenderman and is 100% under his control. Has no moral compass like Tim and Brian, even sometimes Kate.
★ Likes to wear neutrals and earth tones to blend into his surroundings. His typical garb includes blue jeans that are stained with dirt, a black turtleneck, a tan carharrt jacket with a fur lining, leather gloves, steel toe combat boots with one boot ladder laced with blue and the other with black.
★ Referring to the blue ladder laces, yes, Toby has killed a cop. Several actually.
★ Lives in a cabin in the woods with Tim, Brian, and Hopper. He took the smallest room, it feels more cozy to him.
★ Doesn't have many hobbies, but really enjoys nature. He'll collect firewood for the cabin and summer bonfires. I feel like he gets stereotyped as the lumberjack/woodsman, but it just fits, y'know? Sometimes he'll make collages out of found magazines or even just make zines.
★ Has a strong punk mindset and belief system. His style leans more towards midwest emo though.
★ Some of his favorite songs are "Geek Bar" by T!lt, "XANNY" - FIDLAR (Billie Eilish), "Pale" - Modern Color, and "Fentanyl" by McCafferty
★ Has his left eyebrow pierced, a dermal on his left cheek, both nostrils (spiked piercing), his tongue, and several cartilage piercings. Is looking to get a coin slot or a hole punched in one of his ears.
★ Surprisingly he doesn't have any tattoos yet. Piercings are easier for him because they're quick and his tics don't interfere too much.
★ Doesn't care for energy drinks too much, they make him uncomfortably jittery.
★ His best friends include Brian/Hoodie, Jeff the Killer, Eyeless Jack, and Dove/Hopper.
★ On his time off, he likes to go camping and travel to any closely lakes or beaches.
★ One of his bits is going "uh oh, Uh oh, Uh Oh, UH OH!" when something minor goes wrong. Sometimes he'll do this when something serious goes wrong and depending on the proxy he's with, they'll either smack the back of his head or join him.
★ Says "I'm gonna touch you." to Tim at least 4 times a week

So i remember an ask mentioning your mortal enemy, Felis Atra and their cats, and i thought it'd be fun to draw what Felis Atra's version of your italian dogs would be.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think they would be called Butter Knife and Flamengo! Butter Knife is not his real name, it's an nickname given by his peers because of how harmless he is. I choose Flamengo because that's the name of Vasco's rival football team here in Brazil, so i thought that was the perfect name :)
Cat Machete was slightly inspired by the Oriental Shorthair cat because of their long noses and thin head shape.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cat Vasco was inspired by the Scottish Fold cat, because FLOPPY EARS. I gave Flamengo longer ears and orange fur to make him more like his look-alike.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The last doodle is a reference to this ask (https://canisalbus.tumblr.com/post/728923918314946560/me-i-am-machete-ear-fan-number-1-those-ears) and contains the tumblr ask stand-in dog, whose cat version was inspired by the American Curl cat! They have round ears that are slightly floppy outwards.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Final notes: I know cardinal clothes don't come in vibrant blue, but i was ADAMANT on switching Machete's and Vasco's clothing color patterns. I would draw the rest of Butter Knife's and Flamengo's clothes, but i suck at designing cool outfits.
Speaking of outfits, for Machete's iconic void outfit, i figured it would be fun to make it more baggy for Butter Knife, in contrast to Machete's, that looks very tight-fitted. I think it's cute, it kinda looks like a sweater. Also i can't imagine a Machete doppelganger without high heels boots, so those HAD to stay.
Oh, and just to be clear, i'm not like, claiming ownership of these guys or anything. I just thought it would be a fun exercise. Hope you like them!! I love your art and your characters.
.
#imagine if Vaschete but CATS and REVERSED -> Butter knife ;_; and Flamengo <3#this ask is from last year and I'm sorry I've allowed it sit in my inbox for so long ´m`#but I've been thinking about it intermittedly#the context was that someone said that somewhere out there existed my mortal enemy (felis atra = black/dark cat)#and they had frenzied cat ocs instead of melancholic dogs#first of all they both look so darling I'm getting radiation poisoning just from looking at them aaaaaa#and the fact you put so much thought and effort into this concept is making me go absolutely rabid#extremely strange seeing Machete with big pupils and Vasco with tiny pinpoints#Butter knife purring like a fluffy jackhammer is instant serotonin I love him#and yes if you turned Machete to a cat he'd probably be something resembling an oriental shorthair#especially one of those really exaggerated ones with giant bat ears and roman nose#and I keep visualizing Vasco as a scottish fold as well but it's kind of giving me sad bad feels personally#I can't look past their painful and debilitating health issues#the same mutation that causes the floppy ears also destroys the cartilage in their joints#it's such a shame because they're a terribly cute and charming breed#and in this case they really do have those similar rounded friendly shapes that Vasco does#if I ever draw them as cats myself I'll probably have to think of some other breed for him even though it would be such a perfect fit#also I think it's funny how you can swap everything else but Machete's heels have to stay :'> don't separate the crinkle and his boots#thank you so much! this was such a cool ask to receive I love how you designed their cat forms#gift art#dingergum#Machete#Vasco#own characters#Vaschete scenarios

I think you do make some fair points, and they're much better thought out than most of the criticism directed at Lirin, so I really appreciate that.
I think the main issue here is that the flashbacks in twok were very much from Kaladin's point of view, so any developments between Lirin and Tien, or the other family members and the rest of Hearthstone, happened entirely offscreen.
We don't see the decade plus of rapport Lirin built with the people of Hearthstone before Roshone showed up. Yes, there was uncertainty from the townsfolk regarding his science-based care model, and being the only second nahns in the town did create some social rifts between them, but I don't think Lirin and Hesina would have settled there in the first place if they didn't form any deep connections or friendships with their neighbors. Lirin admits as much to Kaladin. We know that even when Roshone is driving that wedge between them and the rest of the town, they are receiving support from their community that Kaladin doesn't see.
I think that points to Lirin and Hesina not wanting to cut off well-established ties just because they were hitting a rough patch. You're right, they wouldn't have been bad people for leaving, but also, idk, to me a lot of the arguments contending that Lirin should have left Hearthstone sound a bit like redditors proclaiming that someone should definitively end their 10 year marriage based on what they know from one AITA post. There's context we're missing here, but what we do see is telling. When Kaladin floats the idea of the whole family moving to Kharbranth, Tien's first reaction is "but I like it here." That doesn't sound like a kid who's completely socially isolated.
I think you do make a good point that there was probably some disregard to how the tension was affecting Kaladin’s mental health. Like yes, some of the people who threatened Lirin ended up giving them food later, but Lirin didn't think to demand an apology from them to Kaladin, the child who witnessed that violence? Would that have helped? I don't know, again, we're missing a lot of context here.
But when Kaladin returns to Hearthstone, Oroden is being looked after by the neighbor girls. Lirin and Roshone have buried the hatchet as far as they are able to, that's part of why Lirin is embarrassed when Kaladin punches Roshone in the face. A year after that, Lirin and Hesina are coordinating the smuggling of refugees out of Herdaz, with the help of everyone in town. We have six years of development between Lirin and Hesina and their neighbors, which takes place pretty much entirely offscreen.
And you're also right that we can't assume a relationship was good when we don't see evidence for it in the text. We don't know what kind of care Lirin may have taken to find an apprenticeship Tien would've been suited for. We do see that Tien has some aptitude for woodcarving, but there is a personality mismatch between him and his master. Is it because Lirin didn't try harder to find a better fit for Tien? I don't necessarily think you're wrong to assume that, but I think there's scant evidence the text gives us to support any kind of conclusion on that front.
I don't think it's fair to say Lirin writes Tien off when he's conscripted, though. Lirin immediately argues against it when Tien's name is called. Amaram has to physically hold Lirin back from stepping up to Roshone. Lirin only relents when it's promised Tien won't be in a combat position, because there's nothing else he can do. He cries for BOTH his sons. That is not a man who is writing anyone off. Yes, he doesn't see how comforting it is to Tien when Kaladin volunteers to go, but I don't think he's a bad father for being angry and hurt that his sons are both risking their lives, when one of them has a choice in the matter. I just don't.
If you give lirin shit for staying in hearthstone you're wrong. It is made VERY clear in the text that while his family was under financial strain under Roshone, they were NOT starving. They weren't eating GREAT food but they were eating. They didn't go without any major necessities. And they could afford medical supplies on top of it. Also it's wild that people assume they could afford to move if they couldn't afford to eat. And Lirin says they could afford to move
Not going to downplay that financial stress is bad for a kid's home life but at the same time, you can tell that Lirin and Hesina were shielding Kaladin and Tien from most of it, which is what good parents do when they've fallen on hard times
And yeah, it would be a dick move to deprive an entire town of their ONLY medical professionals just because of a grudge. Do the lirin haters know what community building is and that you're not going to always get along with the people you're in community with. At the end of the day they were practicing mutual aid and I hope the lirin haters remember that the next time they call him a liberal centrist or whatever

Someone on twitter said it best: The title should actually be "How NOT to show support for SA victims that don't fit your desired demographic."
"His character is reinforcing negative gay stereotypes" and it's a hypersexual gay man who died in the 30s struggling with addiction and drug abuse to get through his life of exploitation, repression, trafficking and ipv doused with fake glitter and glam so no one can see beneath the cracked surface of his tortured soul.
"I don't think I've ever come across a character so poorly represented yet so greatly praised by the general audience" Because Angel isn't "representation", but an actual character with his own unique struggles and issues and responses that thousands of people (inclusing myself) can deeply relate to and if not "relate" then sympathise with. He isn't "SA rep". He isn't "Gay rep". He's Angel Dust. He's a person, and a broken one at that. If you don't relate to him the way so, so many others do, then maybe it's not for you. I already hate you 💀

It's hard for me to call any character evil unless they're just... brutal and disgusting for their own entertainment. Deoksu for example. Or his side kick (you know the one he played marbles against, the one who was even more disgusting and slimy than Deoksu simply so that we'd root for Deoksu during the marbles game even though we were clearly supposed to hate him at any other point :'))
Like, I get what you're trying to say OP, but I (personally) would not call him evil because in my head he's not someone who's doing all this out of fun (as far as we're concerned since we know how Junho saw him, we know which books he reads and his reasons to join his game, which all don't point to him being a sadistic guy).
I think the whole point of the show is to show how there's something animalistic and rotten in everybody. And that especially despair will bring it to the surface, in one way or the other, but that there's ALSO always good. So much good, everywhere, so much kindness even during the most horrible of times. Ali, Gihun, Jiyeong, all the characters from 'our' group in S2... (suddenly I wanna blast 'savages' by Marina lol "we can be bad/as we can be good") So, yep I don't think it's unrealistic that he will get a redemption, but I also don't think this will end with the Hwang brothers happily strolling off into the sunset (there's a reason Inho did not go back to Junho. The games had a lasting effect on Inho). There will be some sort of consequences for sure.
I do hate people who try to explain away everything and maybe this is me doing that, but: once I start thinking about characters that intrigue me, especially 'open' characters, aka characters who aren't fully explained, they become so so SO complex in my head that I can't simply be like "he's not gonna get a redemption cause he's an evil villain". But I'm also not excusing his behavior. He's part of the problem and he's done truly evil things (like killing Jungbae, you could even pick up my argument from earlier and say him failing at spinning top on purpose is deliberately evil). He's a bad person. But I don't think he's evil, not in my way of defining that word. Evil as a character trait fits comic book villains or two dimensional characters that are written in a way which is supposed to make us hate them (like deoksu), or the bad guys in children's stories, but imo it's not something we, by now with more and more information being thrown our way, can use to describe Inho. Ilnam, sure. That guy is literally a comic book villain since he did not have (or didn't tell us) a real reason to start the games other than the extremely vague ones he gave us. He's an evil trickster with a brain tumor. He couldn't regain his humanity because he did not seem human to us in the first place. I'm starting to yap.
At this point I have a strong feeling that nothing season 3 will do will ever reach the potential this whole story has in the back of my mind haha. OP, don't see this as criticism, I really just wanted to analyze this character... Again. 😂
as much as I love inho I'm getting real tired of ppl underestimating just how evil he is and doing mental gymnastics to try and justify that he's broken and will somehow regain his humanity again

#just saw that tweet abt pink days on the set of the barbie movie & i think it made me realize why it - the marketing etc - annoys me so#'margot robbie went around collecting fines and donated them to charity haha' okay. look.#that's just the perfect metaphor for how it worked for us - me - anyone who wants to align themselves with me - when we were girls#isn't it#because you grow up and you desperately want to fit in with the other girls but you don't & you don't know why#but you're surrounded by things and people telling you what a normal girl is like & little-to-none of it is things you find appealing or#interesting. makeup and fashion and skin care. gymnastics and romance. you're told that you are obligated to be pretty#but prettiness has never been part of your perception of yourself. femininity is an arcane concept#an exclusive club that will never grant you entrance#& the only comfort you can give yourself is deciding that it's dumb anyway. shallow. vain. who cares about looks and boys and all of that#idiots that's who#but this is Doing It Wrong too isn't it? because now everyone who has taught you that you will forever fail at femininity turns around#& tells you that's patriarchal oppression and YOU'RE the bad one by distancing yourself from something that always made you feel defective#'YOU may have never lived up to this impossible standard of perfection but some ppl do and actually it's fine to be like that!#hyperfeminine traditionally beautiful women are the most oppressed group of all & finally we will stand up for our rights!'#'girls can be pretty AND conpetent' but that's not what they're actually saying. isn't it.#because performing femininity correctly is the prerequisite. a threshold you can never cross and you know that. & that's fine#but somehow that's wrong too because you're not supposed to make peace w that are you. you're SUPPOSED to want to do it right#even if you don't and never have and never will#and once again everyone is yelling at you that this club isn't meant for you. if you criticize the barbie movie you're antifeminist#if you refuse to wear pink I'll make you pay a fine#hashtag girlpower#(well im not a girl. not a guy either. and not a secret third thing. just bad at femininity.#bad at being a person. and y'all don't need to tell me you don't want me in your club#I've always known that. i just wish you'd stop expecting me to beg for entrance.)

...The only response you should give to misogynistic men who insist "single fathers are better than single mothers in every way" is:
"I see... You're so right John. It's so clear to me now... men should actually marry each other! I mean, single fathers are much better then single mothers in every way, right? So, imagine the benefits of having TWO men raise children. We should transition to a system where men marry each other, men raise children and women can live as bachelorettes."
Watch the way the seethe.
