I never thought about this happening but it makes sense my joints and hands hurt from using the crutches. Ughhh

Some good news from the Ao3 wrangling team
Looks like we'll be getting our own fandom tag, soon. That'll be nice!

Haven’t really been engaging with that much Genshin stuff because I’m so bummed about natlan…..
Like it all sucks, but speaking about something I have personal connection to:
I want to like Mualani (the white-hair, shark girl)….her name is from on a real Hawaiian chieftess, it’s also very close to my IRL name (Meilani)….also I freaking love sharks.
I want to be excited at cultural representation. But as an (admittedly white passing) mixed-Hawaiian myself—I’m just sad—not even at my palest in the midst of winter am I that pale. It feels like a betrayal to reference different cultures but not earnestly portray the people within.
Anyway, no hate to anyone who does like her, but please keep an open heart for your POC genshin friends or content creators who are sad and angry.

literally im not even close to kidding one of the best things you can do if you encounter a baby bigot in the wild (a child or young adult who had clearly been indoctrinated by hatred and fear (specifically evangelical flavor)), is to be kind to them. there is nothing that cracks that worldview faster. if you listen to people who escaped that life and ask them how they got out, a lot of times it’s because when they were a teenager or young adult, they met people from outside their immediate community and realized they were just regular human beings.
like don’t put yourself in danger or anything but really truly really it does make a long term difference a lot of the time if you’re nice. it’s just that you don’t get to see it because the unlearning takes years.

We may Dollcourse here and there. We may Gehrmaria debate every so often. Heck, we might even fight over the actual political intrigue and contentious in-universe matters of the game every so often, but that's what families do! We all know the real enemy: Iosefka truthers.

every art critic, teacher or tutorial maker who tells you that your character designs must be conventionally attractive or appealing is a big fat liar

full offense but fandoms are unbearable because y’all are unlikable. y’all are so weird and i will die on that hill.
this is like the third time i’ve been in a fandom where a white male SIDE character is heavily favored by the fandom and they start jumping through hoops, and grabbing reasons out their asses, to prove why the main poc character is a terrible person. they will also ignore any wrongdoing of the side white male character.
it’s so fucking weird and exhausting.

ok maybe they're the same amount of usefulness in terms of harm reduction or whatever but if nothing else, I have infinitely more respect for people who are planning to vote third-party or write-in than those who are trying to... make a statement by not voting? Like the only statement you're making with that is that you don't care anymore. Voting for a third party candidate at least says that you're voting against both options.
I'm not saying this in a 'voting third party is the way to go' sense, I'm just saying that if you're going to throw away your sway in who wins to make a point anyway, there's an option that actually communicates your point and it sure as heck isn't refusing to vote.

have u played pentiment? Also, that little tag on ur ex voto comic abt blocking supersessionists rly does mean a lot, thank u <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I have! I haven't finished it yet, but I'm obsessed with Guy. I need to unpeel him like an orange
also no problem! it's literally the bare minimum for doing christian centric artwork, especially since I've previously done biblical illustrations but with a deliberate focus on the jewish narrative over christian interpretation in an attempt to chase the historical method.
usually I just block people and move on, but for comics like ex voto, which is heavily christian, I thought I'd ready a spray bottle in case anyone was thinking about acting up in the tags because I'd like for ex voto to be something fun from a spectacle point of view even if you aren't christian, but that can't happen if the supersessionism crowd feels too comfy because of the time period it takes place in

I've seen concepts of like. an Adult Collector BUT i propose and idea!!! Teen Collector. I'd feel like he'd be more chill if anything, but more annoying 😭😭 like constantly teasing
I had zero clue what I was doing with his design I just made him look like he grabbed whatever they had in their closet xd
