The pushback to the term "cultural Christianity" from atheists is real odd to me because, as someone who has been an atheist since 13, only ever went to church a handful of times never with my own family (made a note never to sleep over at that friends house on a Saturday again bc I HATED church it smelled like shit, was boring, pews are uncomfortable as fuck, and the religious people I knew were all wildly misogynistic and I've never been here for being told I was less of a person for being Born Like This), and generally had no actual connection to Christianity in a meaningful way but still only knows Christian mythology, has been steeped in Christian values I had to untangle, and my religious understandings are still deeply Christian.
Like Ive never paid attention to the bible, church, Jesus, Christian teachings, or whatever but if you asked me about any religion the one I'll reliably know the most about is Christianity. I don't know why atheists are offended by being called culturally Christian because they have bad blood with the religion because like sorry bruh that doesn't mean you're less indoctrinated by Christian values if the culture you grew up in is predominantly Christian. In fact I'd say that religion being this ubiquitous in the culture regardless of anyone's consent to exactly ONE religion being shoved down our throats is reason to team up with other religious folks who ALSO don't like being constantly evangelized to by the culture at large, not a reason to throw a fit because you don't like being tied to a religion that is so ingrained into the culture that shit like "oh my god" and "Jesus Christ" are common expressions of surprise regardless of how atheist you are. Like surely I'm not the only atheist to notice the shocking amount of cultural religious shit that works it's way into my life and speech despite having not set foot in a church since I was like 10, and I can't remember the last time I was in one before that.
Idk man cultural Christianity seems like a pretty damn useful term to describe my relationship with a religion I never fully bought into and then actively rejected as a child yet still hold weird connections to and knowledge of just because Christianity is so baked into the culture I grew up in like it or not. If you want to be mad, be mad at the Christians who stole your freedom from religion from you, not usually religious minorities who discuss cultural Christianity and how it damages them too.

it has been absolutely crazy seeing that anon call the way u draw femstars mugi “unrealistic and sexualized” because (and I’m about to knock anons socks off here) I am someone who has that EXACT BODY TYPE IRL. I’m more “average” than skinny but it’s still practically the same, and this anon is here insisting that my body type being represented in art is unrealistic, sexualized, and bad? like. yikes. I can’t remember exactly where I was going with this ask tbh but saying someone is drawing bad sexualized art because a girl has big boobs is like… way worse than drawing big boobs (drawing big boobs is great actually)
anyways I LOVE UR FEMSTARS DESIGNS SO MUCH AND I GENUINELY LOOK AT THE WAY YOU DRAW MUGI TO HELP ME WHEN I NEED TO DRAW A CHARACTER OF THE SAME BODY TYPE!!! UR ART INSPIRES ME SO MUCH
NO RIGHT ITS SO UNBELIEVABLY INSULTING ?????????? AND TO THINK THIS IS A COMMON MINDSET PEOPLE HAVE IN THIS FANDOM TOO PISSES ME OFF TO NO END. ITS WHY I CANT REALLY KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS SUBJECT BC HOLY SHIT.
news flash if u leave ur room and go outside for a change ur gonna see people of all body types! including slim thick ones! isnt that crazy! GIVE IT A TRY!
and it pisses me off so severely too because these people always act morally righteous and that theyre fighting for some "better cause" or whatever the fuck, like theyre protecting us from the horrors that is Women With Big Boobs and its like. Genuinely what the fuck are you people trying to accomplish. i fail to understand the psychology behind "oh this body is being sexualized by men? Lets bully this body type out of existence because it is clearly just a sex thing then" LIKE WHAT??????? COMPLETELY MISSING THE MARK??????????? AND MAKING THE SITUATION A DOZEN TIMES WORSE???????????????? and its SO RARELY women or lesbians making these arguments too. We do not need your ass to fight for us
and to add salt to injury? i see them calling ~c cups "normal size" which. Jesus fucking christ guys. so often when i see ppl bitch abt mugis boobs theyre like "why cant they just give her NORMAL boobs!!!" and, i do not have a big bust, but i am very flat. so these words very much affect me aswell. Literally causing harm to the broader community by spouting this reactionary nonsense and not thinking before you speak
AND WAHHHHHHHHHH WHATTTTT!!!!!! WHAT AN HONOR!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY AUSHDUAJHSDFKJ 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 i am firm in my mugi headcanon and will not be swayed!!! so look forward to seeing more of her!!!! ❤️

This post is to scream IM ALIVE and i keep working at the pacing of a snail. Im almost done with the next entries of Ghost Heart: i took my time with these because they got a tad more detailed and even with backgrounds! Im super eager to finish them AAA
In parallel i… found myself hoarding a bunch of new shippy sketches that started as jokes but ended making me develop a sort of polycule between my fav characters and the file keeps growing with each passing day someonehelpme
Im not sure when i will finish these last tho: i love LOVE sketching like this but i know i wont tolerate myself if i just drop them in this unfinished state so BAGH you will need to wait for a tad more to see the full artworks and i need to keep being patient with my current creative process.

Just started one piece (the anime not the live action) the other night and I am a big fan of how from like day one, every single fight zoro is in, or when anyone says pretty much anything to him at all, he gets super serious and then has a flashback which is basically just extreme foreground of a like 14yo girl's hand squeezing the hell out of one of her own titties and like 13 year old zoro in the background experiencing every single emotion known to man

I’m gonna tell you people a secret.
When they have me processing the men’s underwear boxes, I like to put the price sticker on the left tiddy of the guy on the box.
