tumblr users who are otherwise good about being skeptical that the utterly defenseless and voiceless would be effectively protected by the systems we have in place want so badly to believe that animal abuse simply does not happen, and if it does it gets caught right away, and that laws and regulations around it both qualify things we would find horrific as "abuse" and are reliably enforced and everything is just completely fine and good, they will fully and uncritically believe that the very first person who confidently says what they want to hear is surely honest and unbiased and has a complete and representative picture of the global situation
like. I'm not claiming to have done extensive research in this area. But I didn't have to do very much to find very recent stories of the horrific conditions animals used for testing have been found to be in. using sentient creatures as commodities is just always going to be rife with abuse-- is inherently abusive and should be treated like the tragedy it is, one to be minimized wherever possible and hopefully, someday, with enough progress, avoided entirely.
just like, god, remembering dairyisntscary and the way everyone on this website sucked them off every time they posted about how cows in the dairy industry are all healthy and happy and treated wonderfully and I mean really we're doing them a favor and it's just great all the time, pay no attention to the actual industry-standard practices and all the laws preventing activists from recording video footage of factory farms, I'm sure that doesn't mean anything, it's fine
#this one's actually pretty recent#squirmy#that post about how bees are unionized#and those posts about how sheep *need* to be sheared#also fit into this pattern#abuse is actually very very very very profitable and easy! there is a reason we consistently need laws to stop it!

various art trades from the past month! had FUN as usual
#my art#furry#anthro#monster#dragon#oc#not my own but nevertheless#these characters are all lots of fun....thank you everyone for giving me cool guys to draw#also BIG things coming (said for the sixth time over the course of the year)#anyway i went apple picking for the last time this year recently which pretty much brings scrumping season to an end#here's a review: blackberries EARLY. annoyingly early but they were okay. greengages amazing. brings a tear to my eye#cherries SUCKED. cherries do better next year. grapes i'm still harvesting actually but doing well. sweet#and apples kind of popped off!!! year of the ugly apple this year - the beautiful red ones were worse than the scabruous pimply brown ones#which were crisp and had thin skin and a beautiful sweet-mellow-nutty taste...wonderful

inner child
#world of warcraft#anduin wrynn#the war within#struggling to explain what im trying to capture here#I think for the longest time I believed adulthood hit when the child you was no more#so until recently i refused to accept that my childhood had ended#But the truth is that child-you kinda just hands adult-you the wheel of the car but they're still there and messing with the radio#anyway I imagine Anduin's inner child self and what his opinion is of everything that has happened#AdultAnduin believing his childself would hate him but he actually looks up to him with some sortve concerned awe#also the background looks like what i see when i close my eyes and i think represents in one's headspace pretty well#i think i used something similiar in an ealier piece of him panicing and#it just works so well when covering mental stuff

happy pride to this dude

Which In hindsight pretty sure would have made the emperor a lil jealou#but that's neither here nor there)#and in exploring the different options that the reveal cutscenes gave I let the emperor win for one (1) save file where ael took the astral#tadpole. By physically eating it. I now imagine that ael taking the astral tadpole will be where emps finds out that ael actually has been-#straight up eating them this entire time and he was NOT exaggerating when he told it that he'll eat the one as a compromise#empy gets a guy that is genuinely madly in love with him BUT he's also probably the most embarrassing guy for an illithid to fall for

Theatre Kid (Derogatory)
#I had some fun on my most recent plane flight and figured I'd give it some color#the great thing about the king in yellow is i can and will draw him completely different every time#and that is 100% in character#if you draw an eldrich madness god the same way twice it's missing the point let chaos reign#was originally just gonna be the lefthand sketch colored in#but the colors alone actually looked pretty nice so you can enjoy those too#malevolent#malevolent podcast#the king in yellow#my art#doodles#I actually wasn't planning on making the bug mandible crown going into this it just sort of happened which I enjoy#lot of centipede/earwig vibes going on with the guy#something something crawls in your ear and drives you mad#anyways here's my one nice art post of this character now I can move on to shitposts guilt-free#i guess there's one other thing I wanna draw that isn't quite shitposty but it sort of is jury's out#we'll see if i get to it lol

In case you missed it, Jaiden just uploaded a new video! Congrats to her for 10 years of beautiful, funny, and heartfelt storytime animations!
#Jaiden Animations#Jaiden#Jaiden was one of the first YouTubers I ever watched consistently#(The second; to be exact)#I literally never used to use YouTube. I don't know why it just didn't interest me#and the idea of following content creators was weird to me.#''Why be interested in them? They're just random people. I'm just watching their videos I don't really care who they are or what they do''#(I actually had that mindset until VERY recently)#The pandemic made me watch a lot more stuff and after getting my arm twisted by a friend into watching a certain SMP series#I started watching Phil + Techno because I liked their characters#then I was like ''Oh they're pretty funny people even outside of RP. I like them.''#and then I sorta understood why people liked creators for more than just their content#The parasocial thing is still odd to me#but I understand it better now and WHY it happens now that I'm closer to the whole content creator sphere than I was before#Anyways long tags. Go watch Jaiden's video#Youtube

Finished themmm
Accidentally
I planned on going to bed early as a celebration, but then I looked at my unfinished pf of Siffrin in the sketchbook and boom couple of hours of sketching, lining and coloring and the beans are now officially paper figured
I can now randomly take photos of them in a forest whenever I feel like it. I have couple pfs on me every day just in case of this happening
#fanart#my art#paper figures#isat#isat siffrin#isat loop#siffrin#loop#in stars and time#Are you ready for me to break it to you? No?#That scene on the laptop? A screenshot#It is a recent one tho#I replayed that hangout just before finishing act 3 for the achievement that required act 4#But I did pretty much play like that#God just thinking about my first playthrough try on this fills me with anxiety#I was so scared it would be the only time they get to talk before actually playing through the game normally#Preparing for bed found me two coins I guess those two really are coin magnets#I actually did Siffrin's hat at least at line-color but I'm still figuring out how to get them to wear it#I THINK I have an idea tho#But anyway#it's 3:30 am#They're also so tiny#Like I worried they'd be too big so now they're pretty average-small next to my last ones#Drawing pf of Loop was actually a really random idea and getting them to mirror Siffrin's pose wasn't hard to think of#I don't usually draw characters facing the other way tho it was weird#The funniest thing was me forgetting Siffrin's eyepatch until the very end while being perfectly aware of making Loop's eyes different colo#That moment of realization was funny just as much as terrifying

in which his life is like a video game
#persona 5#joker p5#morgana p5#akira kurusu#ren amamiya#my art#p5 spoilers#<- i mean. i dont like. say anything outright but like. i feel like i say *enough* in this one. lol#this ones actually pretty old i was just bored and wanted to draw but didnt want to draw enough to do anything serious so i finished it#i almost scrapped it because well it was hard to wrangle and had a minor tone problem but well. they cant all be winners <3#not my best work but i think the concept is. um. kind of really funny. lol#morgana: shit maybe it'll help him a little to play a game. get his mind off recent events. (it does not do this)#i still think this game is the funniest addition to royal. like they went out of their way to add this akechi themed video game in royal#im gonna be real with you. i think the gray pigeon theory thing is kind of silly. but goro akechi featherman parallels r so real. real shit#have you guys seen proof of justice. wasnt that crazy. that was crazy.#anyway. i want a love so strong it'll bring me back from the dead! or however that featherman episode goes. seeya#comics

#kirby#daily kirby#my art#digital#hal laboratory#nintendo#my wife and my partner said I can go to the fancy korean bakery nearby and pick out lots of snacks#*and* it's right next to a taiwanese grocery store that probably has a lunar new year candy I've been idly looking for for like. 20 years.#not a joke btw#one year we celebrated lunar new year in school because blah blah white people school with like 2 chinese kids#it was meant as like a cultural exchange thing but it feels very tokenizing in retrospect#but Anyway#there was one specific sweet they brought that I've been wanting more of Ever Since and I'm pretty sure it was candied lotus seeds#but I only pinned that down for relative certain like. this month#and we mostly shop at american korean and japanese groceries#so I had one one time over 20 years ago#and haven't seen them since.#until jessica kellgren-fozard's recent video with her wife about lunar new year traditions#and I was like 'oh dang I probably can actually just look that up now huh'#cuz I remember the shape very distinctly#and I've been kind of looking for it since before I was on the internet lol#so it genuinely didn't occur to me that I might be able to look it up.#point being - a brief break in The Horrors for Snack Excitement :)

Reading loz/lu fics and it's just so interesting how wide the spectrum is of their personalities.
Sometimes it's got an in universe reason (different past (usually gender or species change), recent or ongoing traumatic events, a spectacularly bad first meeting), but sometimes (often) the characters are just... Weirdly angsty or peppy, there's no in between!
And I'm beginning to think less people have played more than one game than I thought XD.
Not that it's anyone's fault! One game is more than enough to be part of it all, and loz is exclusive to Nintendo consoles - and all the older stuff is frustratingly hard to get hold of. Heck, I'm still looking for wind waker, and that was really popular! And then you have to play it! They're not small games!!
But could people writing wild please ease off just a tiiiiiny bit so he can be a semi functional member of society pretty please XD? He's just as much a polite boy as any other member of the chain! He won't even run in shops! He can't attack npcs! He talks to every single person he's ever seen and remembers every single name. Yes, he's three quarters woodland creature with a hefty amount of trauma but he's also a fashionista who managed to avoid accidentally taking sides in a mayoral election and that's not easy!
#I have some actual gripes but that's just me being pedantic about something I know a lot about#loz#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#loz link#loz botw#loz totk#the legend of zelda#totk link#lu wild#Okay but please stop making his teleportation a point of interest to the chain they ALL can warp it's not even slightly special#And the slate/pad doesn't hold any items I'm begging you that's just fanon it's never been canon or been implied to be#Travelling across hyrule (on horseback) is about a week and a half following the paths at a walk. Rito to lurelin. It's not weeks on foot t#Hyrule Castle!!#This isn't a problem but like. Let link be petty brats to civilians occasionally. It's enrichment. They all have beef with some rando.#They're all extremely polite and let people get away with more than they maybe should but like. Adults starting smth with a 16yo.#Also wild has serious beef with ganon why does everyone write him so chill. Like botw sure but totk?? Absolutely not.#'wah my home is in ruins it's all my fault' it's been like that for yonks no one's even mad and hello?? Miles on miles on untouched#Landscapes?? Millenia of ruins indistinguishable from the recent stuff?? Link literally died he could not have done any more#How anyone can play botw/totk and not be BLISTERINGLY proud of hyrule I don't know#Okay but why does everyone (particularly legend omg) always bitterly blame hylia like loz has a dozen odd deities and hylia is the ONE who#Got cursed right alongside link. It's just... Idk but it seems like such a culturally Christian thing. All the focus on one who then gets#Blamed for everything in life going wrong. Not even Christian but specifically American Catholic. I don't know.#Hylia is the one deity we can pretty safely assume is neither omnipotent or omniscient lmao#In every time she has a voice (botk/ss) she pretty clearly mucks up or gets tricked and has regrets#In ss when she was zelda she hated every second of leading link around and even then it all hinged on link being completely willing!!#And then she got kidnapped anyway!#In totk (spoilers) she loses contact with one of her statues and asks link to check it out. Another statue gets POSESSED by ol triangle hea#And again link has to figure out the problem. Like even in her divine form she is so far from all knowing and all doing.#It's a lot of conflating with the concept of fate maybe?

I can't remember if you've done any drawings for this before, sorry, but I have a requestober prompt! Vargas ladyverse snake charmer au? Or ladyverse dryder au Scri, I feel like the potential for pretty spiderweb clothes is high there. I would request both, but I want to respect the rules ^^ Thank you!!
Day 27 - Skillfully spun sheer shawl
#My art#Requestober#Vargas#Scriabin#Spider#So fun fact: I did do a couple Ladyverse!Snake Charmer!Scriabin doodles but they were just concept sketches so I never posted them#I still have at least one Ladyverse!SC idea written down but I haven't done anything with it lol#I never made it as far as Ladyverse!SC as a drider but then you said ''fashion'' and that's one of my sleeper words I Can't Not lol#I may have gone a little extra on this one but I was excited! I got sidetracked with those stones in the BG lol#Rock textures are still very fun ahh I can't help myself#The whole thing is extra! The web-cloth needed to contrast against her skin so I needed the directional lighting so I needed the background#Every step needed the next! It was decently fun tho#Not in small part of getting to look at some Acanthoscurria Geniculata <3#Funny actually haha; my step-sister went to the zoo recently and there was That Specific Species of tarantula there!#She took a picture for me :) Cute#Pretty spider <3 And pretty drider!#I'm still very normal about Lady!Scriabin >.> And backs lol they're fun to draw!#You'll notice under the webbing she's wearing a similar top to what I drew Classic!Drider Scriabin in that one time#This one's a halter-top tho :) Leather halter top haha#I think it breaks up the shapes nicely :D#And her little urticating hairs poking through the webbing hehe ♪ She's very cute! Very pretty :)
