[Image IDs: three gifs of an Ornate Wobbegong swimming through the ocean, taken at different angles. The Wobbegong is a light brown shark with dark brown bands horizontal across it's body, and white spots covering it. It moves smoothly through the water, tail swishing behind it. End ID.]

worst thing ever is when people have the take that "Being able to complain about your lack of rights means you already have rights so you should just be happy".
Like if you know that protesting is illegal in some countries, and see people protesting in countries where it isn't, and your takeaway is that they should shut up and be happy you are wrong and need to talk to more activists or do more activism.
I have the absolute privilege of living in a place where I can be openly queer and protest and the government isn't (technically) allowed to do anything about that. Why in the fucking entire world, would I not fully exert my rights to do both of those things.
if you are the person who, on a video about the strike for gender equality in iceland, commented: "Being able to do this without fear is, in fact, equality. Be happy" I am stealing something from your fucking house
jawsh fanart will be always be something like a full body presidential portrait with insane detail and it will have 9 likes and two reblogs. jawsh fanart will be a detailed oil painting and the artist will caption it "erm... what the freak"
sometimes i see the like "You're not doing art for the right reason if you care about notes" talking point floating around and it's like. There's no wrong reason to do art. obviously it'd be sweet and wonderful if we all could just do art and not care about anything else, but we live in a society. we're kinda biologically built to strive for approval from others, and also on a more recent scale, society puts a lot of importance on popularity, and for some people it is literally how they earn money, to live.
it's okay to be upset when your art doesn't get recognition, it's okay to make art thinking "Hehehe this will do numbers on tumblr dot com" do whatever you want always.
We can all strive to be people who will be happy making art even if nobody else ever sees or likes it, but there's no point waiting around, I'd rather be in a world full of art in the meantime.
