déjà vu
déjà vu 1. mixed media: bio resin, inks, acrylics and neodym magnets on ferromagnetic steel/wooden frame (40x40x5cm). a déjà vu is a very enigmatic, crazy adventure indeed. a phenomenon that seems inaccessible, abnormal and really weird to those who have never experienced it. how does that come out? there are so many theories, but we are still a long way from really understanding the origin of…

This is so obvious it's almost petty to talk about, but it keeps happening so I am increasingly faced with needing to decide to bring it up. Can everyone who advocates for not reposting art and for crediting artists start bringing that same energy to photographs of traditional art? Especially fiber arts and sewing related things, due to very prolific scraping accounts that repost things from elsewhere on the internet here to tumblr and a few years ago stopped crediting the artists at all. They never asked permission, but credit has just dried up entirely and it's galling to see.
I know non fiber artists don't really have the experience to see this, but just like visual arts, fiber artists develop pretty clear styles. So if a blog is posting elaborate pieces of infamously time consuming arts that cover a wide range of styles, once or twice a day, with no credits or discussion of themselves as an artist - that shit's stolen as fuck.
It feels like I'm going insane sometimes because thousands of people who otherwise yell all day about how artists need to be credited, just think that sewing related photographs pop into existence without needing to be linked to the person that made them.
#chatter#not embroidery#It's disheartening to see so many of my peers that I've known over years have their shit ganked#and most never know how much love their work gets#meanwhile the fiber arts accounts devoted to reblogging oc work here on tumblr don't get nearly the attention as the fuckhead art thieves#meme and photograph aggregate pages my BELOATHED.#also re: visual styles - one time a friend identified this was my blog because of my work. i hadnt mentioned this blog at all#it gets REALLY OBVIOUS if you understand how art styles work in specific mediums#this is why I give artist statements or commentary under all my original work that isnt a derivative of another post

flower in one hand, sword in the other
[ALT ID: A digital illustration of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian from TGCF from the waist up. They are back to back, with their arms loosely intertwined and raised on a diagonal that cuts through the middle of the canvas. Each of them holds a sword in one hand and a flower in the other. On the top half of the canvas is the Heavenly Capital, partially covered by eight strings of gold beads as from an emperor's crown; on the bottom half of the canvas is Paradise Manor, partially covered by a swarm of wraith butterflies.]
#my art#hualian#tgcf art#hua cheng#xie lian#tgcf#this is essentially a visual summary of one of my core theses of tgcf#which is that this statement describes both of them equally#that is all

i will always shout praises of bi4bi but given recent discourse I feel the need to say that I love bi4het too! I just love bisexuality in general in its many forms, and anyone who only likes it when it's 'queer enough' for them is biphobic. Bisexuals should be able to bring their LaMe CiShEt BoYfRiEnD to pride without being made to feel like spectators and outsiders to their own event.
#3 am queer discourse take <3#anyways hot take number two. cishets do belong at pride. everyone who wants to celebrate queerness should be welcomed at pride#if a completely cishet business major fratboy wants to come to pride and vibe with us then he should be welcomed!#not even like. oh he has a queer sibling. no. if he's just a cishet dude who wants to spend his saturday at a parade then hell yeah#like completely ignoring that you have no way to tell he's definitively those things. it shouldn't matter regardless imo#pride is not a secretive club you need to be let into. it's a feeling and a celebration and a statement and a state of being#and whatever you want it to be#burying my other related hot take under the tags readmore ksdjksdjksdj#idk. i'm just tired of a lot of the things people seem to think about bisexuality's validity relating to bi women specifically#this is frustration with the gatekeepy and straight-passing discourse of it all#I'm tired of people being expected to act and to preform and to BE queer enough for others' opinions.#am I still welcome if I haven't been with a woman in a few years? if I dress boring? if I like m/f? if I don't listen to chappell roan?#joking on that last one but like. idk. never straight enough for the straights but never gay enough for the gays#constantly some mercurial in-between that offers no comfortable easy group to put us in.#what do i have to do to not be judged as a filthy hettie? are my doc martens enough for you yet?#like oh sorry let me cuff my jeans and have a bob and wear a button up over a cami and wear etsy earrings. am I visually bi enough yet?#let me apologize for the cardinal sin of liking men too. let me wash my hands of any time a cishet man has held them.#if it was a bisexual man then just hand sanitizer is fine right? where do you draw the line on my queerness?#let me preform for you in a way that makes me queer enough.#anyways. sarcasm aside. I think I've made my distaste for this whole affair evident#if you don't want cishets at pride then what happens to those you incorrectly deem as cishet? do I need to prove myself to you?#am I passing as straight? am I passing as gay? am I enough for onlookers?#is it not enough to just show up at pride and celebrate? anyone and everyone who wants to?

Sayaka is such a weirdo. To be honest.
#there are a lot of things to like about her#and there are a lot of things about her that are strange and whimsical#but also in the way that makes you think#that there’s definitely something off about her#maybe it’s just the way madomagi is visually presented in general#but the reason why I latched onto her in the end#was because there was just something really odd about her#Sayaka Archives#I feel like all of this is a nothing statement#but it’s just a [sentiment] I get every time I draw her

natsume's love language being physical touch: a masterpost
ive always wanted to make this post so. here
this is a boy who never says how he feels. he just pinches and hugs instead. (mostly featuring ruka and mikan)
exhibit A: indirect touches that are teasing but still sincere and comforting (ie pulling/tugging/bonking with an object)
exhibit B: this noogie/bonking thing he does whenever he wants to reassure someone
exhibit C: holding hands (there's more instances of this obviously but i dont want this post to be ten feet long)
exhibit D: hugs
exhibit E: nose pinch!!!! (not fun but its how he says "i love you")
exhibit F: hair touching (? whatever this is..... i just know it counts)
exhibit G: catching!
exhibit H: kissing (obviously)
exhibit I: licking i guess!
thanks for coming to my ted talk! if u disagree youre wrong. anyway
#the kissing and hugging is standard for any romance story rly#the bulk of my reasoning is his mainly physical way of comforting ruka or mikan that has nothing to do with hugs or kisses lol#hes so funny#person he loves: ;-;#natsume: *bonks them on the head*#person: o///o#maybe ill do more silly posts in this style#making a statement and then pulling visual evidence w just enough text to make my point. idk we'll see#gakuen alice#ga#hyuuga natsume#natsuruka#natsumikan

Whilst the return of Doctor Who in 2005 brought lots of good things, including, for sure, the return of Doctor Who, I think it did untold damage to Big Finish audio stories
#like 'they got worse' is not an accurate statement - the quality imo took a gradual downwards turn but there were bad stories pre 2005 and#good ones post#however they seem to have gotten; for lack of a better word; more normal? more. 'regular fans and new people are watching this on the bbc#quick hide the scherzo before they get scared off' kind of thing#Time Works is ultimately a fairly good episode but it doesn't do anything. interesting (it was supposed to be in the Divergent Universe but#they stopped that when DW came back to TV). it feels like someone made a DW TV episode then rubbed out the visuals#compare that to Chimes of Midnight (2002); Zagreus and Scherzo (2003); Natural History of Fear and Caerdroia (2004) which are Proper Good!#this post brought about because I started listening to Master (2003) and I'm having actual fun they're doing Interesting Things#anyway yeah#doctor who

Now we're standing in the ring
Breaking everything that we've been building up so long
And I don't wanna do this, break it up
But you're not who I thought you were
And this is looking more like a war
Looks like we're going to war
Let's go (Battle) by Taylor Swift
[First] [Previous] [Next]
#the second pic has my favorite visual representation of the lyrics#the reflection of little bal on the glass? perfection#ambrosius' look? a true statement#im so in love with this part and the next thats to come#sí le metí cerebro a elegir cada imagen#nimona#ambrosius goldenloin#ballister boldheart#goldenheart#ballister blackheart#ballister x ambrosius#nimona movie#let's go battle#taylor swift#the director

To anyone that's seen Moana 2, without going into spoilers, is it a good sequel??
I loved Moana and the animation for the sequel looks amazing! Moana's sister also looks adorable and doesn't feel like the type of character who - based off the trailers - would grow tiring. But I have this overall gut feeling that it's just a ''meh'' movie story wise and that it won't offer as much as the first did
#I remember seeing an instagram reel a few days ago saying how Moana 2 is said to make more money back than Inside Out 2#and I STRONGLY disagree with that statement#again just a gut feeling#but I have a suspicion that Moana 2 is just an okay movie#visually it looks stunning!#But story wise I have a hunch it's just not great#Palette talks

Having this weird realisation that I've spent my whole life beating myself up for not having a body type I don't even find appealing????
Like this isn't to say I don't find some thin or skinny bodies attractive, but the extreme waifish-but-feminine body type that celebrities are pushed into - flat stomach thin waist bony face smooth hips - just hits my brain wrong. It reads as unnatural on an adult woman - it's the shape of a (certain type of) teenage girl. Like I look at Lady Gaga or Scarlet Johansson at this point and I don't think 'wow beautiful' I think 'jeez what's going on there?' Especially in the face and waist - idk to what degree it's things like Ozempic and buccal fat removal and to what degree it's just the body types we uphold but everything in my brain is shouting THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT FOR YOUR BONE STRUCTURE.
and like this isn't a political or moral statement, attraction is a terrible metric for Moral Goodness. but it's still maddening to realise that I'm constantly comparing myself to a way of looking that I honestly find offputting. like no I don't want to look like 2024 Ariana Grande, she looks Unwell. I don't actually want my face to be as bony and drawn as half the celebrities denying their use of weight loss drugs and facial surgery.
This isn't a moral stance but at risk of body shaming I just think that super skinny Looks Bad to me unless your body is built for it. And I don't want to look that way. But also I'm a woman living in the world so of course I also do and I look at my waist and go 'god when I was 17 I had such an hourglass figure' but a) when I was 17 with a UK size 6 waist I also thought I was fat (didn't do anything about it because I had other fish to fry and also I love food, but I did beat myself up about it) and b) honestly in that case even though it was my natural figure at the time I still look pretty drawn and uncomfortably thin in some photos from them, and c) if I met someone whose body looked like mine did then I would immediately clock them as a teenager, and I don't find that attractive in a 31 year old.
End of the day I kind of think that the obsession with a specific type of thinness - again, the flat stomach, nipped waist, smooth unlumpy hips, high breasts, narrow shoulders - is about fetishizing adolescence. Cause a lot of girls under 20 look like that - not most by any means, but it's not an unusual body type - but for most women (not all), adulthood means developing more muscle, a thicker waist and broader shoulders and hips, more definition in the hips, a bit more soft tissue over the uterus, etc. And trying to turn back the clock on that by force involves working against what your body is trying to be, which to me (personal aesthetic taste) often ends up looking odd and disjointed, like you have soft features but no fat in your face, or all the protective layers over muscle are stripped off so you're weirdly wiry.
I think what I'm drawn to aesthetically in the human body is the infinite different ways that people have a coherence between their different features, and their bodies come together as a unit, and I think it's possible to maintain that through surgical intervention and major body changes but I think the body types that are almost mandatory for women in the public eye rarely have that coherence, because they're not concerned with what looks best on a singular body but with checking boxes. and so it jangles my brain I don't like it.
#red said#TO BE CLEAR this is not a blanket statement against thinness in general#bc there are many thin bodies i find VERY attractive#but they aren't the type of thin bodies that are totally smooth and undisturbed by bone#i think there is an incredible beauty to for example tall people with prominent angular bone structure#but i think there's a visual difference between a body that's built to be thin and a body that's pushed to be thinner than it wants#like for me. do i want to be slim and bony and waifish? sometimes yeah. but i couldn't be with any amount of surgery or weight loss#because i would need to rejig my whole skeleton for me to carry off the type of thinness i aspire to. an entirely different body.#bc i am built for curves. i have broad shoulders and broad hipbones and beefy legs.#my body and my features tend towards softness not angularity

i love making text-heavy stuff tbh. i think i've realistically "outgrown" weirdcore at least with regard to the more heavily edited stuff, but i still deeply love the idea of making my writing pieces look like they're fucked up pieces of old web lost media, so i think i've found a way to keep going despite that
#not edits#this is not a disparaging statement to any editor or concept btw i just am at a point in my life where i wanna make stuff that has#more textual meaning and less visual surrealism. call it traumacore or whatever but that's where i'm at with it lol#i've been kinda doing poorly mentally these last few months and i honestly consider it a blessing for this blog cuz like#even tho the growth on here has slowed to a fucking snail's pace. i feel like i make the most Potent stuff in this state#my sillier and more heavily edited works generally just frustrate me ngl. feels like i'm phoning it in a lot of the time#all of this is to say that the textcore is here to stay basically. at least for now#i've edited like 15+ edits in a single sitting tonight which is like. unprecedented for me nowadays so yippee

Doflamingo: (after asking two subordinates if they have families [during Pica's voice reveal]) Do you have a family, my dear? Tenshi:... I have a brother who's dead to me... But other than that, no... Doflamingo:... I understand.
#one piece#incorrect quotes#sakido tenshi#donquixote doflamingo#Eneru is mentioned#DofTen#foreshadow to Corazon#gotta love the irony and double-meaning in her statement and his response#also she's been sitting on Doflamingo's lap#just to add to the visual

Wow, so now we have four poster visuals of the movie (aside from the collaboration version with mission impossible of course), and I can't wait to watch this movie in the cinema someday...
By the way, there was a talk event which was held by the local publisher of the manga several days ago, which they streamed live on the local publisher's IG account. The event was held at the pop up cafe in a famous shopping mall in Jakarta, and when they talked about this movie, one of them (the pop up cafe's staff) pointed out that it would be released in March (in my country). I don't know if this is valid or not, but that person said it confidently, so it's probably true. Not to mention that there's no new information about the movie's release date for now...
Well, let's see if that statement is true, or probably they'll release the movie before March (I still hope that I can watch it on my birthday though... which is in January and not March). I've heard from somewhere else that the movie would be released in Singapore in February, so probably it will be soon after that.
#personal post#poster visuals#spy x family#spy x family anime#spy x family code white#local release#international release#so there's a spy x family pop up cafe in my country and they'll be available until 21 January in that mall#but they have a plan to reopen the pop up cafe in another place start from February#and when they were asked about the possibility to collaborate with the movie their representative replied it with that statement#'the movie will be released in March while our next project will start in February so we'll be focusing on the anime series' they said#anyways i'm still looking forward to the movie

“The mirror can be a source of vanity,” he says softly. “But it can also be a point of self-reflection, you kind of see yourself outside yourself, one of many perhaps. [Pause.] And being able to see yourself and the relationship you have with the artwork kind of sanctifies that moment — I’m hoping.”
