Women have every right to label this a misogyny issue without having to put several asterisks on it
#this is both about the election and abortion#inb4 anyone comes at me: i’m not saying that it’s ONLY a misogyny issue#i’m not saying that people who aren’t women shouldn’t say that this is an issue that affects them in the variety of ways it does#i’m not saying that we should never talk about how it affects people in other ways#no—i believe all of that should happen as well as women should be able to clearly identify this as misogyny#i’m saying that this is a very deeply misogynistic issue and we need to be able to express that in clear terms#misogyny#election 2024#abortion#100plustxt#500plustxt#1kplustxt

Could you tell more about your face blindness, if you're ok with it? It's a kind of surprise to me that you have difficulty of recognizing people's faces because you are one of the artists who draw characters' expressions so intricate and eloquent, like a mirror towards their mental states. Do you think it has any impact on your art/art style?
First of all, thank you! I love drawing expressive characters ´v`
Sometimes I wonder if the face blindness is part reason why I choose to draw animals/furries/anthros instead of people, but other than that I'm not sure if it has contributed on my style.
#it's most likely an autism thing#I've struggled with identifying people by their faces ever since I can remember#discovering that it's an actual disorder was a massive relief#I had lived my entire life thinking that I was either dumber than everyone else or not trying hard enough#these days if I meet someone new and know for sure that I'll be interacting with them in the future I usually warn them beforehand#that I have this thing and I might not be able to recognize them next time#(or that I might potentially never learn to recognize them reliably)#and in my experience people tend to be pretty understanding#it's embarrassing to have to tell them that but it takes some pressure off#answered#anonymous

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao
not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad
#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is#i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good#it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive#tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little#irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny#and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately#reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women#who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their#personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny#i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit#among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere#from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy#anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem#but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3#taylor swift

#love and deepspace#love and deepspace zayne#is it me or do i see subtle differences in them???#like not just personality wise#istg i am seeing very nuanced physical differences#or like mannerism#like if you strip them down to nothing#i will be able to identify who's who#🫠

the continuous focus on birds and birdsong in monstrous regiment is one of my fave bits just because we know the only reason polly has all that background knowledge is bc of paul. and even when she has that moment of not wanting to admit that she wants to get paul back partially for selfish reasons she was still the person in his life that paid attention enough to remember everything he loved/knew about birds lol. he's not really haunting the narrative he's just kind of chilling back there but ANYWAY lol polly perks could do antigone
#whenever theyre in a new location polly is always letting some bird info into her description of the setting and its just bc of paul#monstrous regiment#like. that's her brother. the birdsong footnote is funny but thats her BROTHER and she cared enough to be able to identify birds from a#great distance that weren't even native to their country so um that's thee manifestation of weird sibling bonds#the line about the colored pencils is soooo crazy. someone got him some colored pencils and she will love them 4ever#discworld#polly perks#gnu terry pratchett#paul perks#im so tired post diwali workday is killing me but im playing the events of mr behind my eyelids during meetings

If kinda surprises me how many tumblr artists will reblog their Jason art a few days after original post saying something like “ahhhh! I forgot his white floof!”
Like girl, how the heck do you tell Jason apart from the other robins? The white floof is essential
#kay speaks#jason todd#legit#need the white floof to find Jason sometimes#we got a sea of black haired blue eyed bitches#we need the identifier#I feel like DC#is trying not to colour code them#but I need to be able to tell me apart somehow

People who compare transition to self harm or use real people they know who've self-harmed as a metaphorical comparison to transitioning aren't making the gotcha they think they're making - they're just showing that they don't have the compassion or maturity to engage with either topic at even a conversational level.
And, frankly, it's infuriating as a person who does see those who self-harm as my equal who doesn't need to be used as a cudgel against another group of often vulnerable people.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#self harm tw#self harm mention tw#sh tw#transphobia#transphobia tw#and as someone who has self-harmed AND transitioned it's been inherently different. it's not a comparison#and if you wonder why so many trans people have engaged in self harm: social factors. family. abuse. mistreatment#mine stemmed from unrelated abuse largely and also because i wasn't being treated well#absolutely unresolved dysphoria in trans people can inspire that - i know that already. ask me how (don't)...#...but it also isn't inherent to identifying as trans. dysphoria of any kind can make people desperate for any escape...#...and you help them by allowing them space and giving them tools that empower *them*...#...like for me the second a huge part of my dysphoria resolved through transition i was able to start actually fucking LIVING#because for all my life i'd been only able to operate at 50% at most. and now it's more like 80-90% just after transition

I've always had this weird shyness around admitting I'd like to learn to make music. I don't know why. I was raised in a very pro-artist family. I think it's a fear of failure if I'm just not very good at it, which heightens once you're vulnerable about something and now everyone knows you like it and makes it more humiliating. I think it's also because I had a parent that blew money they didn't really have on home studios and instruments and always fancied themselves a bit of a wannabe musician with no actual drive, so I subconsciously internalised the criticism that got.
anyway I'm saying this because fun community events like tmbptmbg, spending a day listening to and discussing the music of artists with such a creative, eclectic output get me inspired and motivated. or hell, just reading about the band's process in general in articles and interviews gets me like this.
#I feel impostor syndrome around having it as a potential interest because I've weirdly suppressed it for so long#this sounds so silly and overdramatic. like. I've never suppressed any other interests so why this#why for so long with no good reason? I dunno. this may be related to the compulsive tendencies I have lol#no I can't do that because... I can't do that.#I did start learning keyboards/piano earlier in the year so !!#I think I just get overwhelmed with the knowledge people seem to have on basic music theory and being able to identify a key#like ohh I'll Never be able to do that#even tho it probably took them years..

Unpopular opinion, but you should not have to tell your partner that you are trans if you've fully medically transitioned before you met. Cuz everybody's always saying trans men are man and trans women are women, bc it's true, and if that's the case, and they have fully medically transitioned and have all the parts of the gender they identify with and that their partner sees them as then it should not matter. They have always been the gender that they are now they just had different physical body parts, so it should not matter, because that's in the past now.
#im saying this cuz ive seen a couple of storied where someone doesn't know what to do bc they didnt tell their partner#in the beginning of their relationship and are in a tricky spot and instead of understanding why they didn't#people are just criticizing them and telling them its their fault and they should have told them on the first date#which by the way#could be and is extremely dangerous and could get them killed#i just think that they should be able to live their life as the gender they identify with in every part of thier life#thats all#trans#transgender#trans pride#lgbtqia#lgbtqia+#lgbt#lgbtqia2s+#queer

strong opinions on takes of the 'could this character defeat kira' variety
#i think there are three relevant categories btw#could intuit the mechanics of the death note / could identify light yagami / could survive#each of those has to be split into further nuanced discussion tho#eg if a character is able to identify light but wouldn't apprehend him then does that count as defeat#choosing to apprehend light will affect the character's odds of survival and that's a character / personality thing#i like the ones who cant intuit the mechanics but would catch light anyway because sometimes it would be for unrelated coincidental reasons#oh and also we'd have to set parameters like which universe is this taking place in. i think death note universe#does the character retain their own powers? what about the powers that their universe grants them#to me it's like a super smash bros situation where if a character is a cartoon then they bring cartoon logic with them#so like for example detective pikachu would survive no matter what because you cant fucking kill pikachu#new ask game send me a character and ill tell you if they could beat light yagami#im kidding but if you do this id probably do it.#can you guys tell im at work. and bored out of my gourd

I'm Italian and a new follower, ever since I saw the region where Machete is from I can't stop calling him Carmelo in my head since it's a pretty common name there and Vasco speaks with a Tuscan accent in my head now( I love how they pronounce the letter C even if people sometimes makes fun of them for that)
It's always really fun hearing about any Italians that like my work and characters, because you guys obviously have the insider knowledge I (a Finnish person) am not privy to. If you say Machete looks like a Carmelo I have hard time doing anything but nodding and going "ah yes, sounds legit, you probably know your Carmelos better than I do".
#Italian in it's standard form sounds pretty distinct to me it's relatively easy to identify it#but there's no way I'd be able to differentiate between all the regional accents/dialects/languages#answered#anonymous#for comparison I can't tell spoken Swedish Norwegian and Icelandic apart reliably#even though they're our neighbors and I hear them pretty regularly and I'm technically supposed to be able to speak Swedish#on top of that I'm always mixing up Danish and Dutch

asking people their pronouns is the bare minimum of trans acceptance and it's something we've had to drag cis people kicking and screaming into doing. where the fuck do you get off throwing all that progress out the window because you like it when people are mean to you actually
#atlas entry#I can't be the only one who remembers when contrapoints got in hot water for this exact same thing#blaming nonbinary people for the concept of cis people asking you your pronouns because now people can't just “tell”#as if trans liberation ever involved people being able to “tell” your gender by looking at you#how are you going to say you support nonbinary people and then advocate for people to misgender them because you think people should assume#your pronouns based on your appearance. sorry my preferred pronouns are they/them and if you call me she because you think I look like a#woman you are misgendering me. again I just don't get this whole “no one can know I'm trans” thing#you know there's a difference between someone seeing a tall woman and thinking “that's a trans woman” and someone seeing a tall woman and#thinking “that's a man”. I feel like so many people treat those like they're the exact same thing and it's like hm why do you view someone#identifying you as a trans woman as identifying you as a man? sounds like you have some internalized shit to deal with babes#in the meantime don't make it everyone else's problem by bullying cis people into reinforcing gendered norms surrounding appearance

Windy at my house + power flickering = no comm work = quick laptop doodle
#my characters#i genuinely hoped the wind would die down but like ??? nah?#and the last time we lost power without an actual storm it WAS bc of wind#and so i just get so panicked over please dont fry my tablet with a power surge#if it calms down by tonight i really wanna work on art since i spent almost all day yesterday struggling with a pose and i finally#think i thought of something that could work and then (gestures to the wind) fuck me#also in regards to these two you have seen me drawing deacon a lot recently and i only drew armya once so far#she is a devoted follower to fulj which is really rare since fulj no longer has a large following nor a temple#so when fulj finds her its comforting and reassuring and she adores armya a lot#however the fact that fulj relentlessly teases deacon and calls him names is like..... ok wait would you really be mean to me if it wasnt#for her ? like would you still pick on me? :c and shes like lol yeah dude absolutely#deacon is just constantly dunked on by the lightning group and hes so sad because he wanted to be friends :c#but also the guy wouldnt really recognize the followers if it wasnt for the traces of lady fulj#so if they would wander into the city without having been possessed recently he probably wouldnt even cast a glance their way#nothing personal he just straight up doesnt decipher looks fast at all#he could think they look familiar but then not know why ESPECIALLY if they wear something he's not used to them in#like if armya showed up in something other than her loose white jacket he would not be able to go AH YES ARMYA immediately#he identifies people by hair or clothing details so it kinda messes him up if people remove whatever identifying trait they have#long hair getting a hair cut? suddenly a whole new person#and armya knows this very well since he never looked her way unless fulj was possessing her or trailing her#so she does like to tease him as just. we are both in servitude to a deity and same rank but like. bro youre too easy to mock#(fulj agrees)
