Finally done with my version of The Universe's design!

#ariart #isat #isat spoilers #the creechur... btw the stuff written on their back veil are lyrics (chaos version) to fleeting words and beautiful song #they have a mouth. but itd be best for em not to use that. i like to think that the Universe communicates via telepathy #cuz if they use their own mouth itd be like an absolute order that cant be broken (like how wishes are granted via wish craft)#the rest of their body is meant like-- a tree trunk. cuz world tree and all that! also favour tree!#hollow stomach with a single floating star aaannd the lower part of the back veil is meant to be a butterfly when whole #yes those are two faces as well. drawing the lines for that nearly made me lose my mind a lil. the angle was painful...#it aint as obvious but the stars (egg and rectangle specifically) dangling on the front veil is morse code for i love you #also in a way the reason why i decided to make their middle pair of hands in that form is that inside their palm is the country #north of vaugarde. so its like theyre holding the country protectively. a star formed to keep anyone from lookin in!

My DID-having ass is experiencing so much world-envy for the fictional country of Vaugarde I'm going to throw up

#Didn't realize how much I needed a society built around the concepts if change and reinvention but holy shit I do. I need it so bad.#The legally normal concept of being given multiple names to transition between or change to...#the societally accepted and easy ways to craft a new body...#the traditions built around reinvention and throwing away aspects of your old life that you wish to discard #that also acknowledge that reinvention involves the destruction of something else. & the grief from yourself or others that comes with that #literally have never resonated with anything to this level and I am YEARNING #like. my life would literally be so much easier in that society #the fact Vaugarde also highly values queerness of all kinds only helps #going insane over this world-building tbh konda wanna overthrow my government & rebuild my country in its image tbh #I am Decidedly Not Normal about this fake country #no spoilers if you respond to this btw. Not done with the game #In Stars And Time #hi dev I know you have a tumblr so if you see this: I love you #thank you for creating this world and letting me have a peek into it #they say we can't build a better world if we can't imagine what that world would look like and #now i can. I know what my ideal world looks like.#textpost

Song of the Day: March 27

"Long Time Gone" by The Chicks

#song of the day #I'm still thinking about the Country Songs About Country Songs #this is actually a cover too though I never hear the original around anywhere #(it's by Darrell Scott who is also the originator for 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive'#turns out he's got a bunch of songs that got picked up and made somewhat more popular in the hands of other folks. an interesting legacy)#the best lines of this song to sing are also the bits About Country Music--well the whole song's about chasing the love of it #but this bit is bemoaning the kids these days you know. country music isn't what it used to be. why back in my day etc etc #it's so so so much fun to sing too because you get to exaggerate your 'I think's until they rhyme with 'Hank'. excellent work #'we listen to the radio to hear what's cookin / but the music ain't got no soul #now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard / they got money but they don't have Cash #they got Junior but they don't have Hank / I think I think I think / the rest is a long time gone'#it's fascinating to me to think about these songs in (saying 'historical' here is giving me psychic damage but) historical context #because the Darrell Scott original for Long Time Gone came out in 2000 and The Chicks released their version in 2002 #so they were talking about the trend towards American jingoism in country music of the time #versus like Waylon Jennings in 1975 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way'#(I typed that and /then/ went back and looked up the release date and I'm so proud I got it right)#already bemoaning the state of country music in the 70s versus good old classic country like Hank Williams Senior sang #(Hank Jr covered Waylon's song in 1981. like yes it's a tribute to his father but also Hank Jr was a big push towards outlaw country #and has a few pretty famous songs himself about not singing like his daddy did. it just seems a strange choice to me)#and then Eric Church put out 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' in 2009 calling out the shallowness of the country music scene of the time #(talking some only-thinly-veiled shit about a few of his peers in the process)#and then he released 'Stick That In Your Country Song' in 2021 and that /definitely/ put some backs up #that one's a less directed but more direct call-out if that makes any sense #no lines that are direct references to other artists' songs but stronger sentiments overall #not just general 'y'all are getting shallow prioritizing good times and high sales over genuine heart and integrity of craft'#but some straight up 'you have forgotten the face of your father' shit towards country artists and fans alike. the whole industry #a very good righteous-anger song

i have many issues with things like cottagecore and similar ~aesthetics~ that other people have summarized better and more succinctly but something that continuously bothers me is how it ties into the Rich White Person With A Lot Of Free Time vibe and how much that conflicts with the things i do that would align with certain aesthetics

like im not making stuff for followers or for a pristine Country Vibe that doesnt actually involve hard work im doing it because im poor and dont have the money to buy it, generally. im painting cans to plant green onions in because i dont have spare money for pots. i want to learn to make paper because my apartment doesnt have recycling and i dont want my scrap paper to go to waste. im sewing fringe on a thrift store jacket so i can make a pretty outfit for a wedding without having to buy formal attire new. idk i just think that too much of instagram aesthetics are centered around leisure and money that often dont exist in the people those aesthetics are trying to emulate

#avpswjy #ignore meee its just smth ive been thinking abt #i love crafting stuff! i love being creative! and theres nothing wrong with putting a lot of money into these hobbies #but it is strange seeing the disconnect between the cottagecore aesthetic and like. actual rural folks lmao #and theres just a lot i do that would fall under the cottagecore aesthetic that i dont do for a vibe #i do it bc its cheap but i still care abt things looking nice #somethin abt those aesthetics being all about emulating something that you dont reflect in your actual actions ig #and how everything that Should exist in a country aesthetic centers around ingenuity and community #and often the instagram white girl cottagecore aesthetic is completely divorced from that #and just centered around like. going to hobby lobby and buying jars to make cutesy #idk!!! its hard for me to articulate and im not trying to shit on ppl who like a certain vibe #but it does bother me how it seems to be about marketability and not just. making stuff bc u like it #this is also from me who often likes a very vintage and country inspired vibe lmao #i just dont like cottagecore as a term because of the specific associations it brings to me

something difficult about writing/storytelling but only in short disconnected bursts is that writing anything longform is very difficult. there isn't as much time to practice long-term character development or subtlety (implying character instead of immediately clarifying) when its not really meant to go anywhere but a notes app. its a little frustrating...i'd love to do something more longform though. i've considered maybe just doing some short writing scenes in my various original universes a lot recently mostly because i just havent had time to draw anything fancy recently </3 maybe that would be something...

#briefly talked about it with a coworker today bc i mentioned my brother makes music #and she got excited because she paints and she showed me some of her work (beautiful btw!!!)#and said she hopes he pursues music and doesnt get his heart crushed by retail like we do #we still make things but ive been thinking about it...it really is like #i feel like ive had less TIME to make things but ive also developed more interest in my own ideas #and in constructing them on their own terms. its hard to describe and even harder to share because its #not churning out fanart for a response i guess?#i dont know. i do feel more satisfied with what im planning but theres less to share #anyway i promised her i'd show her my art sometime so essentially i have to flee the country now #she does lovely work she paints pictures of pets and it seems so nice. she seems so happy with it!#its like...i love it. im a little jealous of it. i feel so much pressure to Do Something New with my art #try to craft scenes and settings (i think setting is such ann important part of storytelling but i have so much trouble drawing it!)#and try new compositions and poses and just not have everything look the same all the time #its led to a lot of work im proud of but its also hard to create under those expectations...#i wish i could find a niche and settle into it comfortably. i think fun character drawings could be that for me #but its...it frustrates me to post those because it feels like if its easy and i like doing it and how it turns out then im not trying #okay i think im done now. sorry for these rambling introspective posts lately lol im #trying to warm back up to posting so i can use this website again (despite how very very bad it is)...#i want to see my frieeeeeends <//////3 i want to be here without running away <///3

and now, this

(60,000 years ago give or take)

an indigenous Australian: what the

me: sorry!

me: too far back

(England, May 1787)

the Admiralty: off you go

the Admiralty: try not to drown

(Botany Bay, Eora nation, 250 days later - 18-20 January 1788)

the ship Sirius: thank god we broke away from the fleet to get here earlier!

the ship Sirius: those two extra days made all the difference

Phillip: Cook was a liar, this bay sucks

Phillip: there must be a better one around here

(Port Jackson, Eora nation, 21 January)

Phillip: now this is what we're talking about!

Phillip: the finest harbour in the world

me: this is a direct quote btw

Phillip: everyone get your things we're going to sydney

(what are the french doing here?)

La Perouse: we heard there would be a thriving colony here where we could resupply and maybe get a decent coffee

La Perouse: have you not even got your colony set up yet?

La Perouse: lol couldn't be me

(26 January)

(actually the evening of the 25th but who's counting)

Phillip: i proclaim this colony

Phillip: gonna name it after some bureaucrat half the world away

Phillip: it's what you do

Phillip: the flag will be here soon

(resounding through history)

the indigenous people: go away

the settlers: no

the convicts: i mean we would, but, you know

the indigenous people: at least consider not killing us

the colonial authorities: no

the indigenous people: at least consider not trying to wipe out our culture

the public servants: no

the indigenous people: at least consider apologising to us

the government: we do not support a black armband view of history

the indigenous people: would you at least acknowledge that we have been here for tens of thousands of years, have one of the oldest continuous cultures in human history if not the oldest, and were royally fucked over by individuals and governments alike?

the indigenous people: that all of this nation's achievements were built on land that we stewarded and had - and still have - a deep and spiritual relationship with that we could not explain to you, not because you are stupid but because it is so complex that one human life could not hold enough time to grasp even the context?

the indigenous people: that we were here first?

most of the rest of the Australian people: does this actually require anything of us

the indigenous people: yes

most of the rest of the Australian people: then no

we here at this blog acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and pay respect to leaders past present and emerging. i would name the nation whose land i sit on but i don't want you all knowing where i live. both of us were born here and have nowhere else to go so it's a good thing acknowledging traditional ownership doesn't mean we have to leave. there is room for nuance

#straya!#the exclamation point is ironic today #always was always will be #i love my country but we are deeply fucked up as a nation #the younger generations give me hope #i mean #i remember people complaining that we had to call it uluru now #but mostly they got over it #we will get over it #cal explains history #hand crafted artisanal shitposting #still annoyed about the referendum

Palestinians are incredibly diverse. There are Palestinians literally around the world who have been exiled, in every country, who have mixed and crafted new iterations of our culture into something unique to their families and experiences. That is something that is rarely touched on when we think about a Free Palestine. Columbian Palestinians and Chinese Palestinians and Indian Palestinians and Mexican Palestinians, all of this is Palestine. All of these people make up Palestine. When we say "Free Palestine" we mean to make a society in which all these cultures, all this beauty is celebrated, where we look to each other and think "the world in which I live has art and culture I could never have dreamed of, and I'm glad to live in a society where I can experience all this."

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day and we reminded ourselves that Palestine is alive in so many versions in this world and when Palestine is free, it will make a whole new cultural entity that celebrates all sorts of different people. And when I think about that, I cannot help but feel energized anew with the sheer breadth of knowledge and art we can share with one another.

I'm writing this as a reminder that a Free Palestine will be beautiful beyond our imaginations, and it is possible and real and we will see it be brought forth and celebrated. Liberation shall prevail. Love shall prevail.
