I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.
#personal#delete later#no patrick. “black washing” is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together#seeing people in my reblogs talk about “reverse racism” and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy#say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices#in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony#redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation#(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite#if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc#if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same#if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same#while i agree that “black washing” can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level#a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you#i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics#and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with#if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter#i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures#(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years#i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing#classic bixels “i'm not talking about this chat. i'm not” (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

boyfriend wanted to watch the hit classic Turbo 2013 and mumbled to himself “that snail is just so fast”
#he’s right! and he should say it#in case anyone cares#that snail is just SO fast#i want to study him with the same gentleness of an entomologist and their favorite insect#turbo#turbo snail#snail#humor#joke#meme#funny#196

mel mellohiizz............ can i beg for uu!parrot and uu!clownpierce art
i love the parallels between them, it's so fun to think about
#☆ request .#☆ my art .#unstable universe#parrotx2#clownpierce#also yes its lyrics from scylla from epic the musical#rewatched some parts of the episode recently#and i find the parallels and comparison very fun because i personally think they were both right#they are the same but they also aren't at the same time#it's a little complicated#parrot is just less unhinged and doesn't kill people#(yet /j)#i can do so much character study if someone kicks me to write again#would you guys think im insane if i start dropping character analysis posts?#idk if i will but that used to be another thing i really enjoyed doing#i used to write fanfiction too but i have not written anything in like two years i think#okay im done yapping

Go off, Queen 👑
#art#the locked tomb#tlt#ianthe tridentarius#When I tell you I was screaming “I KNEW IT” in this scene#I did know it#whereever there is an artist that struggles with stylization#there is the same artist also struggling with lighting in general#this counts as a lighting study too right?

Grabs your hand.
Hatsune Miku is not an established character with solid lore.
Hatsune Miku is only sixteen if the song calls for it. She does not have set lore, she does not have set features, she is not always a girl, she is not always alive. Sometimes she's god, sometimes she dies- she has been in love with Luka, Rin, Len and Kaito- all within diffrent PROJECT DIVA MUSIC VIDEOS.
IT DEPENDS ON THE
PRODUCER!!!!!!
Project Sekai literally shows this- there's like 6 Miku's and each one is different depending on the group MAKING MUSIC WITH HER.
SOMETIMES SHES AI- SOMETIMES SHES THE DEMON KNOWN AS SLOTH- SOMETIMES SHE HAUNTS THE NARRATIVE- SOMETIMES SHES JUST EMO!!!!
MUCH LIKE REN AND LEN SHE HAS NO SET LORE. NO SET FACTS. SHE IS SIXTEEN SHE IS 1000 SHE IS A CAT GIRL SHE IS DEAD SHE IS A MURDERER. SHE IS IN A MENTAL ASLYUM SHE IS AN AI SHE IS THE CONCEPT OF MUSIC.
MIKU DOESNT EVEN ALWAYS HAVE BLUE HAIR!!!! (IN Mekakucity Actors 2014 ‧ Drama- SHE GETS BLUE HAIR EVENTUALLY YEAH, BUT HER CHARACTER STARTED WITH BLACK HAIR)
The only constant about Miku....is that she has pigtails- SIKE THERE'S LIKE 10 DIFFRENT MIKUS IN BASE GAME PROJECT DIVA THAT DONT EVEN HAVE PIGTAILS!
MIKU IS A VOICEBANK- HER DESIGN IS EVER CHANGING- SHE IS NOTHING MORE THEN A VECHICIAL FOR STORY TELLING.
CULTURAL MIKUS ARE FINE- ADULT MIKUS ARE FINE- NON-HUMAN MIKUS ARE FINE- MIKU AUS ARE FINE- MIKUO (BOY MIKU) IS FINE.
SHE IS A PAPERDOLL THAT IS YOURS TO CHANGE. HAVE FUN!
THE WORLD IS HERS AND SHE'S THE WORLDS!
#I am so sick of modern vocaloid fans coming in and immediately hating on rabbit hole and acting like there is one miku#LIKE THESE ARE PROJECT SEKAI FANS!!!????? YOU KNOW MIKU IS NOT A MONOLITH#YOU KNOW SHES SUBJECT TO CHANGE#GO FUCKING STUDY BEFORE YOU SAY SOME DUMB SHIT#hatsune miku#In my mind shes my oc and shes literally the godess of music and creativity- and guees what? im both wrong and right and stupid and not.#cause thats how vocaloid WORKS!#vocaloid#DONT EVEN TALK TO ME UNTIL YOU STUDY TWO MAIN VOCALOID SONG SERIES AND SEE HOW DIFFRENT SHE IS#DAUGHTER OF EVIL- EVILLIOUS-MEKAKUCITY-LEAD PRINCESS-DARK WOOD CIRCUS? ALL DIFFRENT- YET MIKU ALL THE SAME#THE WORLD IS HERS!!!!! SHES THE WORLDS- THATS THE POINT?

Mu Qing ascending is objectively so funny considering Feng Xin and Xie Lian also do. Out of the people in your kingdom who accomplished immortality there’s this guy who used to be your servant but is now on equal rank to you and he‘s super rude now and also thinks you hate him because he remembers when you were 18 and lacked socioeconomic-interpersonal awareness
#he doesn’t even hold the ignorance against you. you hold it against him though#list of people who ascended from Xianle: the crown prince and his noble bodyguard. also the prince’s attendent who came from poverty#like mu qing only got to cultivate because of a very specific set of circumstances but like he did it very successfully#it’s hilarious#by all rights he worked harder than them both but he sure got there#also you see him as super rude and mean now while the people of his region keep insisting he’s kind gentle and refined etc.#Feng Xin looks at Mu Qing as if they were in the same boat and Xie Lian looks at Mu Qing like they were in the same boat#and Mu Qing is there doing their chores on top of studying and training and caring for his mother looking at their idealistic nonsense#with many question marks#Xie Lian and Feng Xin: our past friend Mu Qing#Mu Qing: ah yes. my employer. who I would like to befriend but unfortunately I have dignity.#tgcf#like sorry not everyone has the awareness or priorities or ideas another who grew up poor might smh#also he has like a ridiculously impeccable memory so like. yea he DOES remember when you were 18. in vivid detail.#he used to prepare your clothes so has your whole cultural fashion line embedded into his head forever. including the jewelry#imagine being 800 years old and the guy that used to steam your clothes every morning and fold them every night lives next door#isn't that so embarrassing#that guy remembers EVERYTHING too#you don't remember that stuff but HE DOES?????

#and this is how i di3#choi soobin#soobin#txt#tomorrow x together#choi dimple#alexa play lovesong#i am a loser in this game#they need to study how this guy got me on my knees like this#got me forgetting i have other biases IN THE SAME GROUP#and he did it in like 5 seconds in 1 MV#nasa explain this#this is not right and i don't like his power over me

“She’s tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me”😤😤😤
(Regency AU with Eloise and Sebastian inspired by my slow trek through Bridgerton these days & @bassicallymaestra ‘s AMAZING regency inspired art😮💨😇🙏)
#I just have a love of big regency dresses what can I say😔🙏#if you haven’t seen them yet this is a study of the GORGEOUS P&P illustrations from the 1890s by Charles Brock#they are all just so spectacular & I stare at them alllllllllll the time wishing I had an ounce of his talent🙏🙏🙏#so I do these studies to pretend even though I change some things😅😅 bc these studies is the best way to improve imo🙏#but I remembered halfway through why I rage quit trying to draw with my fountain pen a year ago😂😂😂#that thing is amazing for writing and I love it like a child#but drawing?! tbh I should have used my drawing ink pen but whatever#I woke up with a hankering to do some crosshatching (which I hate) in an attempt to get over myself#also!!!!!! when Mr Darcy says something like that it’s no wonder Elizabeth jumps at the bit to believe every awful thing she hears about him#it’s like Mr wickham’s dumb stories that nobody else in their right mind would believe#are speaking right to her soul. like OF COURSE that asshole from the assembly would do all of those things😤😤#he called me ugly so OF COURSE he would deny mr wickham his living😤😤#(I don’t blame her I would do the same🤝🤝)#ALSO why tf did he even say that when he’s clearly smitten from the beginning#I’m sure if he knew that she heard him he would simply perish from mortification#well thst is my p&p - inking horror - inspiration rant of the day🙏🙏#(I read p&p at least once a year & it is the only fanfic I really read😅😅😅)#hogwarts legacy#hogwarts legacy fanart#hphl#sebastian sallow#hogwarts legacy mc#hogwarts legacy oc#eloise#eloise babbit#regency au

FINALLY!! At long last, I've gotten my hands on a Pumpkin Kitty, after a whole year of wanting and waiting.
Her name is Latte! (Short for Miss Pumpkin Spice Latte) You can also call her Miss Spice!
#I spent 10 minutes picking her out omfg#not even exaggerating. I was deciding between this one and one of the last 3 unstuffed PKs#altogether there was only 5 of them left in the store including the 2 stuffed displays#the other one I was looking at had a nearly perfect pumpkin eye patch but less pumpkins overall#and their face wasn't as nice plus the ears were a bit wonky for my taste.#tho it was really hard to tell which would be better while they were unstuffed and flat#in the end I chose Latte because right away she looked to have a sweet face. her ears were nice and she had better patch placement#including a couple full patches on her tail#tbh if I'd had the money I might have bought both because the decision was hard#the bear builder actually asked if I was alright while I concentrated on studying each of those damn cats#I apologized and explained wtf was up with me. she was very understanding#I've always had this quirk where sometimes it'll take forever for me to pick between plushies I really want#especially if they're both the same exact plush. because then I gitta focus harder on finding out which has the better personality#you get what I mean?#anyways this has been a thing for me even as a real little kid#I remember spending and hour-hour and a half almost every time when my dad took me to choose my monthly webkinz#“my monthly webkinz” god that makes me sound so privileged. it was the nicest/best thing my dad could afford to get me because we were poor#he wanted to spoil me as all good fathers do but that was the most he could afford and I was always so grateful and still am! but I digress#anyways I took way too long to pick which kitty would become my Latte#but I'm glad I had the opportunity to choose yet alone to actually see pumpkin kitty irl available for purchase#what do you guys think of her?#stuffed animals#plushies#plushblr#build a bear#BAB#pumpkin kitty

i just find it really sweet but also find the contrast super funny that steven always has a smol cute pic of connie by his bedside, meanwhile connie has a big hecking poster of him (and lion <3)
#also ik i portrayed it comedically here#but as said i do find it equally sweet#the choice for steven to put a little picture of connie above his bed is oddly subtle#but shows how he cherishes her differently compared to the others#not that its more than others cuz steven loves everyone#with connie its just different and i love how its not in your face about it#same with connie's desk tho its a liiittle more obvious about who she really likes having around lol#from the oddly posed picture to the strawberry timer thing (jaaam budds)#both have other pictures that have them and their families included#but i find it really sweet that both of them keep a picture of eachother the closest to where they spend most of their quiet time#(at least in theory where they would spend most of their down time in)#For Steven the picture is right a top of where he rests#for Connie its where she does her study work#(the place where she spent 80% of her time offscreen in SUF supposedly but hey shes trying to cope with baggage its fine)#anyway messy rant over#Connie where the heck did you get that pic why is he posed like that#did vidalia make that or is it an actual picture#Also lion <3#connie maheswaran#steven universe#steven universe future#you could say this was supposed to be for V-day#buuuuut i fell asleep before i could finish lol#my art#connverse

congrats on your recovery n all yuuji but unfortunately for you I thought the scars were cool >:/
#my art#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#yuji itadori#jjk fanart#jujutsu kaisen fanart#jjk art#jjk spoilers#jjk manga spoilers#jjk leaks#these took so long i kept getting distracted cries#but they r done and this is yuuji's post canon scar map to me. argue with a wall we should have had this#looks at canon this sign won't stop me bc i cant read >:(#smh robbed!!!!!! the potential!!!!! the aesthetic!!!!! th angst the symbolism!!!!!!#gege i respect u i do not want beef after u let my boys live#but u rly couldnt have scuffed him up a LITTLE more.....there were so many to choose from didnt u have a favourite.....#all he has to show fr all that r two little scratches. rly.#((not counting the ear n fingers thank god i get That much))#anyway i made a whole post abt why i think yuuji should have kept the scars n what it would have stood for symbolically#its along th same lines as the yuuji Big Face Scar agenda hh i just care a lot abt character design n visual storytelling ok#anyway fine he can keep the eye but in this house it grew back wrong it's lighter and foggy and now his prescription is stronger#as fr the rest#megumi has dibs on the upper right eye apparently so yuuji can have the bottom half#i would have doubled down on the scars on his left but a. the right side is the symbolic one#b. he healed an entire eye so it makes sense tht he'd heal other more minor injuries as well#c. tbh it's mostly based on what looked good i think this arrangement guides the eye across his face nicely#gave him a lil nose nick bc smth smth sukuna idk it's just there to balance things out#also as i said. the jaw and neck scar are there for kissing purposes i make the rules im salty and i do what i want smile#in other news thank u past hina fr doing those hair render studies im very happy with my yuuji hair as of late

You know, I think my favorite thing about Gale's whole "watching you in battle makes me horny" scene is like. He's not wrong. A brush with danger does in fact increase one's desire for "other forms of stimulation". Studies have shown that being in situations that cause a rush of adrenaline, be that going on a roller coaster, seeing a scary movie, walking across a swinging suspension bridge, or something else, increase feelings of attraction. It's literally a Known Thing that adventurous stuff is great to do on a date because it will most likely make you more into each other.
Idk, I just love that his come-on is not only extremely nerdy, but also scientifically accurate. Feels correct and I'm glad they did it lol
#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#meta#i would pull up the studies about it but frankly it's nearly midnight and i'm halfway through a bottle of wine#and i do not feel like looking them up right now lol#sorry to get all couples therapist on main i was just going through that scene again and it really tickles me#like yes please have my sweet nerdy man hit on me with only the most research-backed of statements please and thank you#for those curious btw it's thought the reason for this is because physically speaking all arousal is basically the same#whether it's fear or horniness or excitement or whatever it's all an adrenaline response#so our brains use context clues to determine which emotion to pair with the sensation#and if you pair something scary/thrilling with a possible romantic interest your brain can get its wires crossed#and decide that instead of feeling this way because of the scary thing you feel this way because your hot for the person you're with

The spiral is unspooling has turned me into a devils minion FIEND. It has also given me a little too much to reflect on regarding my abandonment issues. And that ever present sense something is wrong with me and that any connection I make will inevitably be ruined bc I’m part of it.
But the writing is just IMMACULATE 10000/10 recommend
#I love fics that are just character studies at the core#it’s the psych major left in my I need to analyze the feelings not sit with them silly!#but seriously it takes a lot for fics to stick to me and I am hyper fixating bad#very grateful I finally hit the dm bit of qotd right around the same time I finished that fic#and I’m okay I was exaggerating a tad and have a therapist who’s helped me a lot xx#interview with the vampire#devils minion#armand#daniel molloy

[Desmoulins] never forgave his teachers for the efforts they had made to correct his budding vices. In the time of the Revolution, he was still cruelly resentful of one of them, on the occasion of a close encounter fifteen years earlier. “I will never forgive him, he said, for having told me one day that I would mount the scaffold.” However, if the horoscope wasn’t flattering, it was nonetheless verified.
La vie et les crimes de Robespierre, surnommé Le Tyran, depuis sa naissamce jusqu’à sa mort (1795) by Le Blond de Neuvéglise (abbé Proyart), page 94.
#camille desmoulins#desmoulins#frev#proyart be like: ”i have the moral highground for telling a kid he was going to get executed and BEING RIGHT about it!” 😃#but i mean what can you expect from a guy who in the same work claims robespierre’s dedication to his studies was a symptom of his evilness#or whatever he calls it…
