I liked drawing this a lot more than I thought I would. Something something beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Plus a snippet of the character studies I did.

Prolly gonna be my one and only rwde post (cus the fanbase is rancid and I'm not rlly a rwby fan, just a person who watches the show): some of you rwby fans are too comfortable using your queerness as a shield to silence BIPOC voices about the racist writing and your 'precious' bigoted CRWBY. You guys unironically act/think that just because you have to deal with queerphobia; you are IMMUNE to being bigoted yourself and you are INCAPABLE of parroting bigoted beliefs. Cus I know there will be a dumbass ant1-rwde posters who will try to drown out this post by saying its 'lies from the EVIL RWDE!!!': You would rather weaponize your queerness to bash on BIPOC voices, while claiming to care about our voices. You would rather be complicit with the racist writers and their racist writing, just because your racist writers gave you a queer ship. There is no shame nor issue in projecting the abused you suffered onto the characters, however you refuse to see through the characters and their writing through a BIPOC lens. You do not get the right to impose your perspective of the characters at the expense of BIPOC voices, you do not get to twist our voices to be alt-right bigots because we called out RWBY's rampant racism. You do not get the right to say you give a shit about BIPOC and have #BLM in your bio when you fervently defend your bigoted company. You do not get to pretend to care about racism when you buy merch off of your bigoted company. My fellow BIPOC (especially the queer BIPOC): why are you guys so comfortable dismissing your fellow poc about their discomfort with RWBY's racist writing? BIPOC are not a monolith with the same opinions about racism in media; but some of you guys are weirdly comfortable with turning a blind eye to your fellow BIPOC getting dogpiled by the white fandom. We can and will disagree, you not agreeing as a BIPOC about RWBY's racist writing is not what I take issue with. The issue lies within you upholding the racial colourblindness in the fandom; like how the fandom was ok with throwing the racism under the bus in favour of queerness, you are ok with throwing your BIPOC peers under the bus for white queerness. Sincerely, a POC who has been watching the fandoms rampant racism problem ever since 2019.

[ID: a coloured and shaded digital sketch of Luz and Lilith from the owl house. They're depicted with their designs from For the Future. Luz is tackle-hugging Lilith, ugly crying and exclaiming "I missed you so much". Lilith braces for the hug and smiles with tears also in her eyes. The background is a pale yellow colour and previous versions of the sketch can be seen at low opacity behind the full drawing. End ID]

thoughts on aventurine? i’m playing penacony rn and id love to hear ur opinions

Hello!!!! I'll try to avoid any spoilers since you're going through Penacony right now.

Okay, so, at first I didn't really care about him. I saw a lot of people either thirsting over him or viewed him as a villain back when Penacony's first act came out, but I just kinda forgot he existed, not gonna lie.

The real meat comes from the second act where we got to see more of him and his backstory. We got to see his past which was heartbreaking, we got to see his dynamic between him and Ratio, we got to see his thinking and planning in real time and in general we saw more of him.

I think he's very well written and I do enjoy him as a character. He's not my favourite, but I would put him in a top ten or something.

Man idk the argument about hvy being a Chinese company and so they're restricted on having characters with dark skin tones when dislyte is ALSO a Chinese company and they typically are really good at representing the culture they take from for their characters makes it somewhat mute

[sprolden]

its crazy how the sims added 135 skin tones and yet theres still only like 30 that are actually usable, why are all my townies grey 😭

Eishi work doodle I colored

On the left a crow (that looks too small), obviously. And on the right a White Bellbird, which I find is a fitting bird for Eishi because of its loud signature call.

(Uncolored original version. I had to fix the hand rip)

(Warning it is loud and very shrill.)

Some extra Bellbird sketches for fun

I just finished watching mina le's new video on sportswear and WAG culture and aesthetics and I think it was a really good look into those subcultures... AND there's a lexi lafleur mention :)
