Expanded Review: "Skin Folk" by Nalo Hopkinson -

Not merely a collection of horror tales, Hopkinson expands the horror genre, never forgetting that stories are about character, only underscored by the supernatural. Offering breadth and depth, the only thing wanting in these tales is room to stretch for more still.

Been feeling down and having artblock so I wanted to draw something colorful and silly to try to get out of it

So have some My Little Morrowind: Friendship Betrayal is Magic

(and Sheo-Discord for funsies)

#morrowind #tes #my art #ponified #ponification #do i dare tag anything else tes related??? #sheogorath #i havent drawn ponies in a while so im kinda rusty #im bad with cutie marks so apologies #also i usually stray away from making skin color the coat color but the skin color is a pretty important part of these guy's recognizabilit #mine #i just think mw is ripe for crossovers with series where normal folks can become gods/dieties #so like celestia and luna are basically god-princesses in the same way the tribunal are god-kings (minus the dishonest way of achieving it) #and now that im thinking about it i shouldve made dagoth ur more like sombra #instead i made him more nightmare moon/changeling-y

“Sorry that it all went down like it did”

#hi! back at it with more highly specific art from The one The Only! #Apa au #Isa I am sorry I left out my true thoughts behind the scar on this one but I am trying to achieve wider lawlight audience appeal #speaking of: #death note #lawlight #light yagami #l lawliet #my art #anyway. #many a lawlight fight that dissolves into a week long stalemate ends with a shared bath #they make up in water every time I have decided #its a theme and its a motif #anyway. the whole plot of our au goes down in the song Motion Sickness by Phoebe Bridgers #also drawing this I learned I do not know a fucking thing about how to draw water or wet skin. #so uh maybe more bath art soon so I can learn to do that #thats all folks I feel like I am normally more insane in the tags #hmm #OH I know what I will over share #I think im like… going to get to into r*ck and m*orty. I liked it when I was like 13 and I was rewatching it for hahas when I couldn’t sleep #but im so scared guys that im going to get INTO it #like yesterday I felt the urge to draw fanart for it and I had to quickly slam my head on the desk until that idea went away #okay yeah this is a good amount of oversharing in the tags #I feel good

While the teaser trailer for the live action looks fantastic and the stills released on Twitter look amazing (APPA LOOKS SO GOOD!!!), I just cannot and don’t think I ever will get over Katara and Sokka having immensely lighter skin compared to their animated originals.

I’m not gonna go into the Ian Ousley Situation™️, but just wanted to speak on the colorist choice to cast paler indigenous actors for darker skin roles. This is no hate to the kids, but indigenous peoples (including Asian-based communities) with brown/darker skin do exist and it’s unfortunate that both live action adaptations fail to acknowledge them.

And before my notifications start getting spammed with that SAME picture of Kiawentiio sitting under the warmest toned lighting possible at a convention, the trailer and released stills have now shown us what they will look like in the actual show. Regardless of lighting, Katara and Sokka were very visibly brown and darker than Aang and Zuko in the original show. Not simply one shade tanner, but brown and this is an important distinction.

I make this post just as a reminder that while the trailer looks promising, and it’s good actual Asian and Indigenous actors were cast (mostly), colorism is still a very real problem that shouldn’t be ignored or dismissed.

#atla #atla la #avatar the last airbender #atla live action #babbles #I already know some knucklehead is going to repost that released still #of LA Katara & Sokka in a dark cave with ‘brown skin’ as a gotcha #stop using lighting as an excuse I am begging #brown skin indigenous folk do exist brown skin actors are there ready and waiting pls stop acting like they’re not #disclaimer: I am not indigenous just a brown skin POC who is tired

Love it when somebody takes a basic monster or mythical creature concept and spins it so specifically into something of their own.

#thinking of the flower apocalypse style zombies that you can keep calm with pleasant smells #thinking of fey on Rhimn and how you can see echoes of Earth ideas of The Fair Folk recontextualized for Rhimn's sociology and theology #thinking of diabetes and teeth growing through skin and Rental Car vampires #writeblr

#gotedit #hotdedit #asoiaf #theon greyjoy #alicent hightower #long post #(c)lsb #in the entitled quote ali's being somewhat irrational and unfair bc nyra did not take an eye she's not trying to keep it away #rhaenyra was only trying to protect her own little boy whose eye alicent felt entitled to #while theon thought asha wanted him dead when she came to wf to save him tho she didnt have to and hes wishing her ill #and then we don't have a direct reaction to 'now they see you as you are' but you can see the words before that getting under ali's skin #making her look even more hurt and bewildered by her former bff than she already was on this night when her son was maimed #compared to theon still hurt by robb's ingratitude months later and caring abt being liked in wf even after his men killed some of the folk #so that's more a vibes based thing but the rest should be self-explanatory #happy theon thursday! #the book citations are so detailed bc i had this fully edited almost a week ago scheduled for next theon thursday #so i kept coming back to the queue to look at my work and make small little edits #tv: house of the dragon #tv: game of thrones

tbh i’m not happy with this doodle of cardan and jude yet, but i don’t feel like doing anything more with it so i’m sharing here instead of letting it languish in procreate forever!

#art #sketch #cardan greenbriar #jude duarte #jurdan #the cruel prince #folk of the air #tfota #they’re meant to be younger here #idk it’s not quite there #i read on the wiki after drawing this that jude is supposed to have lighter skin and i was like ???? i don’t remember that???? #anyways i think cardan should be stupid bishounen pretty #and jude should be like an actual real person with frizzy hair and a bump in her nose

my favorite quotes from my favorite characters/shows/movies (part 3):

"belle, i cannot fashion a life without you in it." - jack dawkins, the artful dodger

"if you look for it, i've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love, actually, is all around." - prime minister, love actually

"look, you shouldn't care if people see you cry, alright? especially you.. because i think you look really beautiful when you cry." - stiles stilinski, teen wolf

"love, love, love. what is it good for? absolutely nothing." - effy stonem, skins

“kiss me again. kiss me until i am sick of it,” - cardan greenbriar, the folk of the air: the wicked king

"we accept the love we think we deserve." - mr. anderson, perks of being a wallflower

"not all monsters do monstrous things." - lydia martin, teen wolf

“you want to know what i did to make him raise me up? i kissed him on the mouth, and then i threatened to kiss him more if he didn’t do exactly what i wanted… if you’re such good friends, why don’t you ask him?” - jude duarte, the folk of the air: the wicked king

“it’s not the whole truth. the whole truth is, i’m in love with him still.” - oliver marks, if we were villains

"she. isn't. you." - wes bennett, better than the movies

"i got it. freddie and jj got it. that termite over there got it. but you're not going to get it, got it?" - effy stonem, skins

Happy pride, here’s a reminder that non-binary Flaky is incredibly important to me

#happy tree friends #htf #htf flaky #I’ve been seeing a weird amount of non-binary flaky erasure lately #which is weird especially during pride month???? #I know it’s mostly harmless so don’t attack folks over it #but I will never write flaky as cis #I saw a post calling my otp a cishet couple and it got a little under my skin #I also know their gender is open to interpretation though so no shade is directed at anyone on how they personally see flaky #but on this blog know they are always non-binary #sorry for the ramblings #nonbinary rep is important to me for personal reasons
