"Why what? {Why what?}"

"Why'd you give her more power?"

"It must be done {It must be done}. For you {For you}. For us {For us}. ...The fate of the world {The fate of the world}. What else do I have to give? {What else do I have to give?} Except for myself {Except for myself}."

"You didn't have to do this. We fought so hard."

"I love you."

"I love you."

"I love you...what makes you think that might have changed? I love you."

#*chanting* skask skask skask skask- #vincent aurelius lin #adamandi #hello. let's talk about what's going on here! i've been tossing the idea about here wrt skin translucency ever since that post came out #(it's linked above fyi. but to quote it.) 'attempting to pursue this unachievable white ideal of the young academic; maybe leading to gory #representations of mimicry; replacement; taking on someone else's skin; altering the self' #this is primarily key in vincent and the skask; in the actual show iirc they used a jockey mask or smth? but i was thinking about the #delightful way skin is semi-transparent. and so a literal layer of skin alone would be unlikely to provide the whiteness pursued- #the under layer of the original tone would be there. so smth about the failure and unattainable. #additionally; at this point of the show the skin would have been likely yellowing or greying due to post-mortem development? so even more #Not white. from observations (as a kid;comparing skin tones?) white people have a pinker undertone (this might be. a generalisation but.) #here the lighting is yellowish to further push the difference + give the super harsh lighting that if you suspend disbelief has some hair #appear as blonde to further the ambrose-ness. #also the hair- messier on the non-ambrose side; a reference to the whole monologue about the haircuts they got #we bring to you also another episode of <i like drawing fabric folds> in the jacket symbolism! from bottom right to top left; it tracks #vincent throughout act two: the initial long jacket for standing out (nonchalance?) at ardess is removed; the yellow coat is put on- aided #here by ambrose's ghost which is represented by the hand! (it is very very slightly transparent- you can see the jacket pattern through it) #(if you look close) and then the satchel goes over it; this mimics the clothes in <oh ms reporter> #and then the Actual Ambrose jacket goes above along with the skask; following the outfit from the pyre scene at the end. #the spark/star thing is partially foreshadowing for the upcoming stabby eye trauma thing (@quincy) and partially just so i could highlight #the eye of the mask/ the place where vincent's eye probably is Behind the mask. because i liked the idea of merging faces; intersection. #back to the translucency of skin - you can kind of make out where the rest of his face is from the darker bit? aka it's not the same colour #as the skask. smth smth limited effectiveness... #tldr? face skin. jacket skin. altering appearance over time; unfeasibleness #when i was doing this i suddenly remembered covering my skin in talcum powder as a kid... hm. i'd forgotten about that. #anyways! when i posted my first ever adamandi thing i had the thought of 'this musical makes me want to paint' and surreally enough #that has proved to be so so true. and ngl i am really enjoying it? love it when the motivation to create is there haha #i will add as a disclaimer that i'm literally chinese and if the colours look off.. i did not mean to make a caricature. please be nice #that said because stage lighting tends to shift colours about a Lot i essentially used my own skin as a reference under yellow light? #so hopefully that checks out. <disappears>

Genuine question - is what George did really that bad? People generally don't ask for verbal consent to cuddle, especially not when the other person has positive body language that shows they're into it... I mean fuck, I guess that would mean I've assaulted my boyfriend hundreds of times at this point because I just go up to him and hug him or cuddle him

// tw sa

You know your boyfriend. You know what his level of comfort is and your relationship. I'm assuming the first time you met your boyfriend in person you did not immediately start touching him without asking him.

I'm assuming your boyfriend was not also incredibly intoxicated and in a hotel room at a convention. It doesn't matter if they have "positive body language" when they're drunk.

I'm assuming you also didn't put your hand up his shirt and rub and tickle on his bare skin that first time you met him.

It was not just a cuddle. It was groping and tickling. It was the fact that she was young person who had never been around these people, in the hotel room of the two most famous people at the convention, and drunk. Any one of those things should have been enough for him to realize he should keep his hands to himself.

#the current state of things #reading back i fear my tone may be harsh here #apologize for that #but it's a serious matter #you can't compare you cuddling your boyfriend who you have a relationship with #to this man closer to 30 than not groping a drunk teenager in his hotel room

It really is evident to me that cis people, on average, view trans identity as this idea that we transition for social benefit.

I was listening to my manager talk about how she "understands how chicks would want to be guys" because the only thing a guy has to deal with is "awkward boners." She then said she can't "understand how a guy would turn into a chick" because it isn't like "being a chick is all that good."

I had to stop myself from being offended because it's really incorrect what she said. Being cis would be easier. I had to closet myself to make sure I could get this job, so how is my manhood easier than being cis?

This plays into the idea that not only do trans people only identify as their gender for social/financial/political gain, but that being trans even earns you that in the first place. I'm sorry to say, but being trans is not easier than being cis. We don't have anything to gain, politically/socially/financially, by being trans.

I need cis people to understand that this mindset is part of the reason why it's so fucking scary and exhausting to be trans around cis people.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #ally advice #i'm sorry if my tone is harsh i just hate this narrative and it is a huge pet peeve #it would have been easier for me to stay cis but that would come ultimately at the cost of my life because i'm not cis #on a societal level being cis would be a better choice for me to make if i were trying to gain the system #but that's not what we trans people are doing is it?

Okay this is a genuine question; please do read and abide by what I'm asking:

I've seen people say that the Tumblr alt text feature is limited in its use, and I get people writing descriptions on image posts I have either made or reblogged that already have full alt text descriptions with some frequency. However, I've never seen any explanation why, and I do not know if this is true but the reasoning got lost in the game of Tumblr telephone, or if it's a misunderstanding/a highly individualized situation that got inappropriately extrapolated.

If you rely on image descriptions, are there issues with the built in alt text feature that make written descriptions below the image better for you? If so, could you please explain (briefly) what those issues are?

Follow-up question: does it help you when people tag images as "undescribed?"

Note: unless you are writing both on behalf and at the direct request of someone you know who uses Tumblr and relies on image descriptions, if you do not rely on image descriptions, DO NOT ANSWER.

#i know my tone does sound a little harsh here and to clarify #I have seen disabilities I do know a lot about & have experience with covered on Tumblr in VERY misleading ways #by people who are well meaning but grossly misinformed in ways that can be either actually dangerous or just really condescending #and would like to know the answer to this from actual people affected #rather than someone who is trying to be helpful but has made a bunch of false assumptions

“it’s just unrealistic for there to be so many gay people in one place” wrong. it’s unrealistic for there to be only one (probably two) gay people in one place. i don’t care if it’s rural Indiana in the 80’s. gay people subconsciously flock to each other before they even realize they’re gay. why else would it be such a diverse group in age and interests? “it’s unrealistic” no, you’re just straight and have never seen a real gay friend group.

hey there! ive finally made an art blog! im going to try post more just… stuff, as usually i reserve my art posts for either special occaisions or specifically public-oriented works, and it kinda bums me out to not just have a place to dump my art anymore, so here you go!

(more details and helpful info below!)

who are you?

in hopes of providing some relevant lenses to view my work through, ill give some personal details here. if these lenses dont suit your interpretation of the work, thats alright! view as you please, though i do still think these will always be important context in said viewings.

my name is zelda (she/her) and im a queer jewish 20something who struggles quite a bit with illness both physical and mental.

ive always been kind of enthralled by impressionism and what it really means to use suggestion and spirit as a stronger tool than portrayal and form.

i have a particular draw to fantasy and magical aesthetics, especially the world-building within.

i am a serial overthinker, and tend to see alot of meaning and symbolism in things that plainly do not have them.

while yes i am jewish, my relation to faith is complicated. if you see me type “god” im using it in a turn of phrase with no meaning. if you see me type out “g-d” i am being religious. yes i know thats not how its supposed to work. its meaningful to me.

what will you post?

as previously mentioned, here im trying to make a concerted effort to post a broader variety of things with a wide selection in quality and topic, so unfortunately here the only real uniting theme is going to have to be that i made it. still! to help navigate the space, listed below will be a list of tags i will try to keep to, all of which this post will also be tagged as, since i know tumblr search can be finicky.

#the self and the other

these will be about me, my friends and loved ones, or possibly both

#differing mediums

these pertain to other works or universes, as well as fan content

#harsh tones

this is gonna be the rough stuff. topics will be tagged as needed.

#jaunty doodles

funny business. shenanigans, even.

#lesssfw

listen this blog is for a wide breadth of content, so please if you do not want to, or otherwise should not be seeing mild to moderate nsfw content (i dont rlly plan on posting straight up porn here) block this tag.

wait— is there anywhere you do post more direct nsfw?

maybe, yeah. but before any of that i would like to set some ground rules. these are my spaces for me to share my work for others to see. if you arent a fan of what i post, ill make no attempts to dissuade you from that. your discomfort is your right. I would however request that you dont make your discomfort an issue i am epxected to remedy. ill have no harsh feelings if you arent a fan of my less safe for work content, or even anything it may tangentially relate to, and need to take the necessary steps to curate your experience in those regards. i will be far less than happy if people cant behave because i post content that is not to their personal tastes, within reason.

all of that being said, yes, if you are an adult fan of my other work, feel free to check out @shinyspadetiptail

do you take commissions?

yeah, usually. im not really at the point where i have to close and open them for availability reasons, so shoot me a dm and ill usually be able to give you a response pretty quick on.

price tends to vary by project, and i always set $20 per hour of canvas time as my baseline, but generally simpler stuff like limited detail icons and emojis run in the $20-$30 range, while fully detailed halfbodies tend to run in the $40-$50 range, and fully done fullbodies range more $70-$80. aside from that, backgrounds are a little too context dependent to put a full price estimate on and extra characters can and will cost extra.

usually whatll happen is after laying out the basic price range we’ll talk, and ill thumbnail until we have smth we can agree on, and once weve got an idea of what were going for ill give an estimate that ill try to stick close to, barring any major changes or complications. from then on ill try to send updates whenever i work, and then when im relatively close to finished ill ask for the payment either through paypal or cashapp, after which ill send on the finished piece and any expected variations. in some cases, this may be changed, and payment may be done half at the start, and half when relatively close to completion.

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐 #to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys' #and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

People in the saltburn tag deifying Felix like the movie didn't demonstrate that he does the exact same thing as Elsbeth - takes people in when they're interesting and he can feel good about "helping" them until he gets bored (multiple people say multiple times that he's does this charity-case thing before). He pretends not to care about his Status, he's flippant about it, but when Farleigh asks for money he goes completely Lord of the Manor with very little provocation. Oliver's bike plan wouldn't have worked so well if Felix hadn't been so entitled as to manipulate him into walking his bike back to the dorms. His ability (and willingness) to be the one to shine a light on someone and then turn it away at his leisure is a big part of his character and the class commentary of the piece.

He does do and say nice things. But a handful of people SHOULDN'T hold the power to become gods of their own little worlds due to money and fear of loss of opportunity, no matter how nice and personable they initially presnt themselves (of believe themselves) to be. Does he "deserve" his wealth any more than Oliver does by the fact of being born into it? I certainly don't think so.

in regards to the Roundsey situation, the multiaccounting wasn't exclusively in the past it was because of comparatively recent activity. it was actually slightly unrelated to the mentioned funneling it seems like

the active winning account was made in 2022. here is the part of the user's tumblr post that explains everything, I have underlined the relevant parts

1) there was funneling between the user's old accounts in 2017

2) the user made a new account (the winning account) in 2022 after losing access to the old ones— but, about a month later, the user regained access and sent a dragon to the new account from an old one, in 2022

3) this cr linked the new account to the old ones (and regardless of old funneling or not, this user still would have had the accounts locked because there were multiple accounts and a dragon was sent from the old ones to the new one)

this isn't meant to be accusatory (because this is all explained in that post), I think it just. gives a more complete image of the situation that I think some people have missed despite all the information being available. the user's accounts weren't closed over old funneling (maybe partially), but because of multiaccounting in general— with activity linking the accounts as recently as 2022. I believe regardless of whether funneling occurred, if the user was still caught the accounts would have been closed regardless

#username redacted because I don't want to be accusing or inciting harassment of this person #a lot of people are claiming that this user's accounts were locked because of gifts given to a sibling or because of years-old interactions #neither of which is the case #I think my tone is kind of harsh here but I'm. literally just trying to explain what happened on the post. because people seem misinformed #no judgement on this user. people mess up sometimes.

the seperation of lesbians and gay men is a travesty. "why are there so many historic gay bars and only like a handful of lesbian bars in the whole country" why are being gay and lesbian not the same thing in this context. you dont need to fuck everyone at the bar and it is a problem that needs to be addressed if these spaces arent mutually hospitable. and this applies to most gay/lesbian spaces imo

#its just wrong to assume gay spaces arent for women and if any gay men are reinforcing that it needs to be stopped lol #but a lot of it seems like very gender-biased willing exclusion bc they dont wanna associate with men #which um. grow up to you too #gender segregation is just evil period #other than intimate circumstances if you refuse to hang around people you perceive as x gender #its a problem you need to work on it's not just a right you've earned #now yes of course there are able to be specific cases of bars that are more explicitly lesbian or gay #but assuming if a bar is a ''gay bar'' its just for gay men is a fallacy... do you even go to these places? #''buh buh buh if theres a drag show drag is insulting to women cis and trans'' its not. address your revulsion #i know i come across harsh toned im actually more being flabbergasted that weve got to this point rather than saying hey you in particular #its just so strange to have grew up in the gay climate i did where the only lesbian flag was just lipstick lesbian and the girls didnt like #if you assumed every lesbian fell under it and to just use rainbow #and now people act like gay and lesbian arent synonyms because of gender seperatism. which disproportionally hurts members of the lgbt #community because they are more likely to be gnc lol #also a lot of individual opinions you just see the terf hand guiding. #and i HATE THE TOOTHPASTE FLAG!! #no pink flag for girls so blue flag for boys get the fuck out of my face #i dont want to superficially share my experiences with gay men i need community with gay PEOPLE
