“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

— Kurt Vonnegut (via lazypacific)

I have this plot twist headcanon that Mr. Dark is actually Rayman's biological father. The reason being that Betilla had a lock of his hair from before he was corrupted. This ended up making Rayman looking so much like how Mr. Dark used to look like and it made the few who remember the pre-corrupted Mr. Dark very suspicious of him.

That is a really fascinating idea for MD, what's fun about his design is that it leaves a lot to the imagination, we don't even know what he looks like under that coat of his, so a twist like that wouldn't be too far off from the table I would say.

also because the it involves some hilarious implications, imagine watching your colleague become evil in real time so you use a lock of his hair and make him the unknowing father of a guy who's entire life's purpose is to protect the glade from his madness, likely out of spite lol

Former political candidate Hannah Thomas, who was beaten so severely by police at a Palestine protest that she may suffer permanent blindness, joined the protest on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, raising her hand and her heart beating fast for fear of more deaths in Gaza and for fear of more starvation. She said no to silence and put over her eye injured by Gaza the Palestinian flag and her face that is about to cry for the children who dream of drinking milk. This means one thing: defending Palestine doesn’t require strength, it only requires conscience and a brave heart. (My family is one of the families this woman is defending. No safety, no food, no humanity.) Any donation from you, whether small or large, will save my family from destruction. Donate here and share the post. Don’t forget to like.

Even our cat Semba and her two kittens Karaz and Samra are suffering from starvation and the man-made starvation..we hardly can offer them food..we shared with them what we eat..some of chickpeas.

The animals here live one of their worst time ever.. what about kids!!

Despite all of this we share what ee have we develop a new form of love..even if we are hungry..we keep sharing..my kids still learn learn lessons...morals...and maintain values in this harsh time.

Our cats have no voice to cry out from hunger, but their desperate eyes say it all

"Even the cats are starving with us in Gaza…"

if you have a moment, please consider giving some attention to my friend Nader ( @nader202-3 )'s campaign. besides himself, he is providing for his wife, Sally ( @sally2033 ), and their three young children, Laila, Nour, and Ahmed, as well as his parents and siblings. Nader's father was injured in the airstrike that destroyed the family's home; due to the lack of available medical care, he continues to struggle with long-term complications. this bombing also killed several of the Gibril family's relatives, including Nader's aunt, uncle, and cousin with his whole family.

now, their situation has gotten even more dire. earlier this month, Nader attempted to get food for the family at one of the israeli/US-run GHF aid distribution sites. as you've likely heard, these facilities have been used as cover to deliberately kill and injure people who come seeking desperately needed food. over 240 humanitarian organizations have called for the GHF to cease operations, and according to the UN, over 1,000 people have been killed while seeking aid. thankfully, Nader was not among them—but he was shot in the back and is now recovering from this serious injury without the benefits of easily accessible medicines, nutritious food, or even a safe and quiet place to rest.

Nader and Sally's children are all under ten years old. they are acutely vulnerable to starvation and the long-term consequences of malnutrition. if the Gibril family's campaign doesn't raise sufficient funds to buy food (which can be over $200 USD per day), Sally or one of the other adults in the family will have to risk their life seeking aid from the GHF. this is not tenable. they should not have to choose between being shot and watching their beloved children fade away from starvation.

your donations and engagement with Nader and Sally's campaign mean that Nader can recover without having to worry for his family, that Sally won't have to risk death or injury to feed their children, and that Laila, Nour, and Ahmed can survive and stay healthy. even just sharing their posts, following one or both of their blogs, or dropping a kind word is a reminder that they are not facing this terrible situation alone. whatever you can do to help is valuable.

How do I convince my baby barely two years old that there isn't enough food for him?

How do I explain that this is his portion, and there will be no more, no matter how hungry he is or how many tears he sheds?

I look into his little eyes, watch him reach out innocently for more and I stand there, helpless a mother with nothing but heartbreak to offer.

Every time I give him a small portion, it feels like I’m feeding him my pain before I feed him his meal.

What kind of mother is forced to teach her child that hunger is his fate?

Pardon the size of the images. I HAD to sketch Skillya. I LOVE that in the concept art, she had thin drawn in eyebrows and those rings on her grubby fingies and tendrils. Gives me trailer park mama vibes. I like to think she wears a big ol mumu with this giant sheer, pink, feather trimmed robe and rocks an obnoxiously dirty beehive (she hides her most PRECIOUS of snackies in there).

My advice to every artist (and honestly, everyone, but it’s especially relevant if you want to make art yourself) is to learn to appreciate everything other people make. Especially things you don’t like! Look at weird, ugly, bad art, with clashing colors and weird proportions and botched perspective and tropey subjects. Look at things made by amateurs an hobbyists and children, with shaky lines and incomprehensible detail. Look at everything you might find cringe or unpleasant - look at furries and gore and fetish porn and all the niche fandom crossovers. Look at art from cultures you don’t know well, look at things made hundreds of years ago, look at paintings from art movements you don’t know or don’t like at the museum. Look at photography and sculptures and fashion shows and murals on buildings and the design of everyday objects like chairs or lampposts or cars. Look at animation and comics and advertising, even the design on your cereal box.

And each time you look, try to find one thing you can appreciate about it. It’s fine if you don’t enjoy the art, but try to find something in it that has value, something you can respect about it, something that moves the world. It can be mastery of a technique, it can be the emotion conveyed, the thought it provoked, it can be color choice, composition, originality, or it can simply be the act of creation itself. Even in art that makes you uncomfortable, art that you find disgusting or bland or vile or ugly or just lame. You need to learn to see it. It’s ALWAYS there. Really look for it. Because you can learn from every single one of these things. Ask yourself why the artist made this, why they made it in this way. Wonder what someone other than you might see that you don’t see, if it has a meaning you just can’t grasp.

You will learn about the value of art, what it means to create, what it means to be human. If you can appreciate those things, it’ll reflect in how you make your own art. Not only will it deepen your relationship to art as a whole, but it’ll allow you to jump past the initial instinct to look away and give you the opportunity to notice techniques and patterns that you maybe wouldn’t have thought to use otherwise! You can learn from the masters, but you can also learn from everyone else. Learn to see the soul in art! I promise it’s worth it.
