#wow what a comment lol

[bixels]

I watched Starship Troopers tonight.

#personal #dumb #my art #immediately after finishing i was pumped to watch some analysis vids on it #cuz i heard a lot of the drama about the original author being a pro military fascist and the director going “fuck that” and making a satir #scrolling through youtube search results was not promising. lots of male film buffs i would Not trust even on a first glance. #“The Critical Drinker” (pfp of a bearded man drinking alcohol) lol. #and then I saw cinemawins did a video on it and was like oh nice i haven't seen his stuff in a while but he's a pretty leftist creator #scrolled through the comments #second panel face #this sucks i'm outta here. #just leagues and leagues and leagues of anime pfps and right leaning people dogpiling on him for “not understanding what fascism is” #idk it's pretty alien and weird to me watching this movie and going “wow yeah that was pretty obvious huh” like literally the from opening #to the teacher preaching militance and only giving voting rights to “those who serve their nation first and earn it” #and then seeing droves of people online going #WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? It's not anti-fascist and even if it was it's #the director's fault for desecrating heinlein's incredible sci-fi epic vision. ermm media literacy is dead.

#omg haha im just so small haha...no like im just naturally skinny i guess idk lol SHUT UPPPPP #saw an article about a woman who had a 104lb ovarian cyst and people in the comments were like #omg thats only x lbs more than what i weigh 😱 i know im small for my age teehee but wow!! #like hi. this isnt the time nor place. also shut up #t

I'm not gonna screenshot it bc 1/it really doesn't matter that much and 2/the person who made the comment is a kid but: a while ago I made a comic that's supposed to be a genuine study and reinterpretation of someone else's sprite comic (made in the spirit of authenticity too - to recreate the vibes of the sprite comics from that era, iirc very specifically because it's funny) and I got a comment on that comic's post that's like "glow up"

which is a compliment obvs. and the commenter probably didn't mean anything by it, it's a common expression. but I've been trying to find a way to gracefully put that comment away ever since it appeared lol

I just very much don't want my art to be taken as trying to one-up someone else's art when that's not the piece's intention. especially when the piece that inspired my art is perceived as "low effort" or "shitpost" or stuff like that. I did mention in the tags of that post that my considering it a study is entirely genuine, and I can legitimately write pages about the cool stuff I find in it other than and inherent in the haha funneys, but that's not for you guys that's for me. I just think that approaching art competition-first like that is a miserable way to do it, and (tipping into overthinking here if the whole tiny-comment-got-stuck-in-my-brain-for-almost-a-month part hasn't given that away yet lol) I really don't want that to be the takeaway from my own art. at least generally. if I actually think the source material is trash and what I'm doing is genuinely categorically better I'd just come out and say it lmao

#bakuspeech #yeah it's the darkhog sprite comic #honestly I don't love comments that put my art and other artists' art in a hierarchy in general. wherever my art lands on that scale #especially when it comes to character writing and trans 'representation' #which like. idk man I'm writing One character. he's NOT gonna be The Trans Experience. he's gonna be one character. #but yeah I'd guess I'm writing it all out in a post bc it's not really a race that anyone opts in #I don't actively participate but by virtue of how my art is perceived I just end up on the scale anyway #so uh. I'm suggesting that we do not bring the scale into my house at all lmao #there's also the like. Don't Yuck My Yum guideline of looking at art that's like #I like the things I'm aping! most of the times! if I don't say it's shit and I'm drawing stuff from it usually that means I like it lol #and then you kinda come in like wow what you're doing here is better than the thing you like. and it's not like yknow. #really anything. it's extremely trivial comparatively. but you are in fact yucking my yum there #tldr please try not to think abt art u like vs art u don't as ''better'' or ''worse'' and #have grace for the things that don't please u personally. anyways I'm omw to finishing the frog now. just need to fell all the seams down #and put that boy in da spinner for a ride. and then it can live in a gift bag until the day #I really enjoy holding it actually... maybe after this one I'll make something else. tbh slick stretchy fabrics are superior to fuzzy fabri #doesn't pill And cooler to touch. stuffed toys for the subtropical population #I'll get a combilation of pics once the thing's at its new home. but for now. we must finish the job

rereading my fics is like a constant cycle of being like "teehee that was funny. oh god that line was cringe. hehe that was funny. wait why did i say that 😑. hehe. wait i forgot about that part. hang on didnt i plan to write xyz into this why did i never get to that. teehee that was funny-"

#anyway im rereading the latest chapter i had for the kalim thing to refresh my mind kfsdjfklsd i gotta revisit my notes #which are. within this sketchbook sojfdlksjf idk why i wrote them in there instead of just in a doc lololol #but god yea i forgot a lot already that happened in the latest chapter bc theres was some stuff i think i hd to add/figure out #as i was writing it outside of the chapter planning lolol #not a lot but enough that i was like HMM. fjdsklfjdskl good thing it is right here for my own. memory. #there are alos a lot of spacing errors and a typo so im editing them rn =_= #ive had a general outline for how the whole thing would go / roughly a few things i might want for the last few chapters #but ough i really am in the no man's land rn this latter part is less planned than the first part LOL #so uh. we'll see how it goes. but it's ok if it sucks it's my first multi chapter fic im not counting on perfection!!! #either way i will do my best. to make it enjoyable i hope sdlkjfklsdjf #ppl in the comments: wow im interested to see how this turns out #me shaking kalim by the shoulders: me too. whats going on. sdjklfjsdkfljsklfjsdkl

[essektheylyss]

no more "fix-it fics". enough "everybody lives au". everybody DIES au. I could make it (canon) WORSE.

#this joke brought to you hilariously not by recent events but in fact rediscovering my old ffn fics from high school #they exist and are easily findable lol #and boyyyy have i not only really not change. but i have MELLOWED on the angst. #if you think my fics are rough now... #literally wrote MULTIPLE fics for a romance-oriented procedural where one or both of the leads died and someone else had to deal with that #hilarious. like. this was 'i know they're gonna get out of this tight spot canon left them in last episode. but what if they didn't. :3' #like say what you will about some of my sadder content but the characters aren't getting MURDERED #also went out of my way to write the cockblock rival LI sympathetically in one scenario #like this character was universally reviled. MEANT TO BE in fact. and several comments were just 'icb you made him impossible to hate' #me at all times: have you considered. this character is not evil. just trying their best and not favored by the narrative but like. fine. #and also do you want to talk about GRIEF? #would love to study my high school self like a bug. who was she. fuck if i remember lmfao #ANYWAY this is genuinely so funny #also damn ffn reviewers were brutal about update times lol #also were not shy about 'WOW this is so ooc' (they were wrong. to be clear. they were mad about a ship thing) #the writing was 'eh' but the specific aspect of the characterization they were mad about was not lol #but also uwu over some of the comments i was looking through last night #some of them were like 'wow someone said this about tiefling fic last week!'

Idk I think it's worth watching if your transmasculine positivity is straying into toxic masculinity territory, like putting other trans guys down for being waifish twinks or otherwise feminine looking/acting isn't the big statement you might think it is...

"I don't want to be a skinny uwu softboi" Congrats, you're part of the vast majority of men.

"Media only ever shows ftm as young pretty boys" you mean literal teenagers? Early and pre-transition guys? I can't even speak on this one tbh because I don't see grown trans men in "media", ever.

Like there's a line somewhere between "I want to be and feel masculine and have pride in that" and kalvin garah levels of body shaming and transphobia and I think I good rule of thumb to never crossing that line is to just not comment on and politicise real trans guys' bodies at any point in their transition.

#if you reblogged the post I'm vagueing about we're all good!! the original tweet is awesome I just didn't appreciate the comment added after #like bruh elliot page came out a year ago u cannot claim he is all of a sudden the tboy ideal or the only ftm rolemodel out there #once upon a time every transman celeb on youtube/instagram were athletes and bodybuilders and ubermasculine stealth etc #the big thing was 'wow i wouldve never known he/she was trans!' #you know what? some of us are gonna be 5'3 and thin our whole lives and no level of t or workout plans or dieting will change that lol #dont need to be reminded how unmasculine that is when Im already alive in the real world every day 🙄 #it's giving 'Im not like THOSE gay guys' energy

[girl-bateman]

Okay obviously the joy of being published (for the third time now yay !!!!!!) outweighs the awkwardness of ppl I know reading revealing and personal stuff about me but still.... 😓

#luckily the mag is not free so unless ppl pay no one will see it lol #but its literally abt my dads alcoholism that we NEVER talk abt #imagine how awkward that'll be for him to read like.. #wow daughter... um what a lovely text there.... very proud of you... #no further comment... 😁 #anyway... #writing

[averysjameson]

idk but saying jennifer lynn barnes sucks at writing romance because your ship wasn't canon is beyond hilarious to me like okay???? HAHHAHAHA. everyone has their own preferences of course but the vehement hatred for jlb and the belittlement of her writing on booktok and bookstagram (sometimes on here) has been ASTOUNDING.

a note about the "poorly done romance/love triangle" in tig: jlb never said it was going to be "even". no one ever said that. personally pioneering the idea that one character was "not given a chance" does not make it a poorly written love triangle or a poorly written romance. in love triangles, there is usually ALWAYS one option who is simply NOT a real option. look me in the eye and tell me characters jeremiah fisher, aspen in the selection series, gale hawthorne, adam kent, jacob black, and i'm sorry but grayson hawthorne amongst a myriad of others were actual contenders for the main character. if you believed they are/wanted them to be, that's great! but all of these characters are in well known love triangles and at the end of the day, books with love triangles WILL sell because they generate conversation and hype around the book. it is a marketing tactic and you are NEVER promised equal opportunity from both love interests. you losing the love triangle or that you believe there is wasted potential doesn't mean bad writing has occurred. also, for the love of god, while you are supposed to relate to a character, you are not the main character!! belly, america, katniss, juliette, avery, what have you, all chose based on who they are as characters. and also, female characters don't have to "experience" both love interests to make a decision. if they want to, that's totally fine, but specifically about avery bc this is what this blog is all about, she absolutely knows what she's "missing out" on with grayson and she doesn't care. shipping averygrayson just blatantly feels like ignoring avery's wants and needs.

anyway, if you want to call jlb's writing poorly done bc you didn't get your way, that's totally fine. you are entitled to your own opinion. it's just funny that you say that bc had grayson and avery been randomly thrown together in the epilogue of tfg or something, i have a feeling you wouldn't be of this opinion.

tldr; love triangles are a marketing tactic and you are neither entitled to a win nor is is poorly done/executed if you lose. love triangles, more often than not, have a clear winner from the beginning (coughcough "see? you're already his") but the debate and drama of another character sells the book.

#the inheritance games #oh god the love triangle discourse is so tiring does it not get OLD???? #averyjameson #avery grambs #avery kylie grambs #jennifer lynn barnes #been a while since i went on a rant #tig #if you disagree idrc bc im not trying to convince you that you can't think something is poorly written #averygrayson #anyway! miss you guys #can't wait for the brothers hawthorne!!!! #i think she's a genius romance writer bc im rr tig and she sprinkles in these moments from the very beginning and wow #she has such a big brain #god booktok is annoying and the comments on jlb's insta posts are so?????? #like imagine the amount of “how dare you not make ag endgame” comments she's gotten (by the same people every post but still) is so weird #“how are you” “what were you thinking” “it was a love triangle and grayson was the right option i'm not reading you books anymore” LOL #or “how are you not let gray be endgame/have avery/be happy” hm avery isn't a prize and gray doesn't let himself be happy hope that helps! #i thought the sad/chronically unhappy thing was y'all's brand for him but suddenly when he doesn't flip a switch and be :D y'all hate it?? #him forgiving himself at the end and letting himself feel was HUGE like ?? ive digressed but tell me you dont understand him w/o telling me

frieren anime premiere was pretty great, melancholic with spurts of silliness so far

pretty much blind to the plot except maybe one or two bits i've come across all these years (that thing about demons) and the first manga chapter that i've read ages ago but i'm having fun with what's presented so far

also liking how much Time and Progress is baked into the world because it really has been almost 90 years since the "journey's end"

#qq watches #also kind of lol at coming across bitching over yoasobi being the OP again #the vibes of the OP were fine with me but wow did some comments reek of 'hating popular thing' thats common with subsets of fans #also hearing stuff about ppl shipping frieren and himmel and like what #thats like the overdone annoying man and woman thats tired of him dynamic no way #completely read it as platonic but then thats the himejoshi bias lol #also! ichikana as fern is great; it was kind of funny clocking her suletta voice when fern got older tho lol

[akkivee]

been letting myself get seduced by a man canonically born either in 1978 or 1989

#this is vee speaking #am i down bad for a gen x-er or a millennial???? depends on what you consider canon lol #but he’s been immortalised at 16 lol #anyway some kuukou art of mine a bit back got tagged with ‘i don’t go here but i would for kuukou’ and i keep it near and dear in my heart #i say i peaked with that comment LOL #if i can make you feel a modicum of that with these youhei shots then mission accomplished LOL #you don’t need to know him just know he’s caused sleepless nights and days full of longing lmao #youhei belongs to my gremlin delinquents fav trope but he’s not hotheaded like the others so his vibe is very different #but he’s an idiot when he chooses to be lol i am so obsessed with him rn #like i actually dreamt of him the other night and wow a dream about anime that wasn’t hypmic!!!! how novel lol #(i say as in that same dreamscape the dream transitioned to hypmic lmao) #(gimme a sec actually my dreams have been wildin LOL🤭) #vee is arting

one of my profs saw my handwriting last week before class started and stopped for like five minutes to ask me about it and put his glasses on to examine it and now keeps asking me about it and called it “remarkable” i swear this man wants to study me like a bug

#he is a very nice man #and also the epitome of nerdy professor #idk what’s so fascinating about my handwriting to him but he was very interested lol #the ‘remarkable’ comment got me though #he followed it up by asking when it started looking like that how it’s changed over time etc etc #bout to become his research subject ig #to be clear he isn’t being creepy about it or anything he’s just really wowed for some reason lol

it is actually so stupid that I get worked up every single week and can’t let my brain fall asleep because I’m gonna see my friends and play dnd and I think I’m gonna perform gender bad in front of them and it legitimately keeps me up at night. I am actually a fucking idiot for this because they are wonderful smart lovely people and this is a reflection of ME being CRAZY

#can’t stop thinking about that tiktok comment where some kid was like. #wow I forget that some of you aren’t ironically crazy and are genuinely mentally ill #yeah girl. this is what crazy people act like. they act like THIS #life is performance art and I am SUCH a bad actor Lol
