"Brother" and "Sister" are trans inclusive of course! Feel free to tag with which sibling is which to you.

#brother + sib (for learn and live respectively) #but also learn could be like #demimasc maybe #whichever it is in the end i hope they find their way!!!!

Since I’m on the topic of stuff I didn’t know… I want to talk about aphantasia. Which is: “the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present.”

I had no idea that when people said “picture this” it wasn’t always metaphorical. I just assumed no one could picture anything. And since no one talked about it, I had no idea that some people can picture stuff in their head! It’s also apparently a scale where some people can picture everything and some people can picture a little with some people picturing nothing.

So, I’m curious again…

#been pondering if aphantasia applies to me for years and still not sure #the linear scale from void to clarity just doesn't feel right #but yeah if it's about being able to reliably visualise something #it's mostly just messy static for me lol #my brain does receive a feed of information that feels almost visual though when it focuses on concepts #with an occasional flash of actual blurry afterimage #but that's it #if i “see” anything it feels more like reaching out and touching it rather than looking #but processing it as if i am actually looking #anyway that's a big part of why my process is drawing and redrawing #never know what the hell i'm visualising until i actually lay a stroke #polls

i'm sorry for saying “retweeting” instead of “retumbling”,,,,, not gonna edit the tags though because tweets can't be edited

there are a lot more abjectly harmful and meanspirited april fool's jokes out there but the one i personally find most annoying is when american game devs pretend that they're going to make a visual novel spinoff of their game because they can't imagine making visual novels in earnest

#<3 <3 <3 he's dead <3 <3 <3 #huge agree on the constant ridiculing and mean tones and using the VN form as a punchline #(and same on datesim jokes etc) #the fact that murder of sonic is only ever called a VN to begin with is kinda telling too lol #or even a “surprisingly good VN” smh

what's so striking to me about younger queer generations rn isn't the lack of knowledge about queer history, but the complete unwillingness to engage with it, when confronted with an identity or history they haven't heard of before they react with disgust rather than curiosity. (for example) instead of asking where the leather pride flag came from and what the leather community is and represents they immediately question the need for something like that to exist, not even willing to listen and learn from both elders and peers. this is also more broadly a problem in leftist spaces in general, being reactionary is somehow the default now, and anything that's different or unknown must be an attack and bad. really hoping y'all manage to grow out of this deeply conservative way of interacting with the world.

Arthurlot AU where Sir Lancelot of France and the disguised King Arthur of England first meet in an international jousting tournament. Arthur's identity is revealed halfway through the tournament and people keep withdrawing rather than face him, and he gets frustrated.

Until Sir Lancelot decides that he'll give King Arthur a run for his money. Their competitive spirit flares and their match proceeds.

It ends in a draw, neither holding back.

They congratulate each other as they both advance in the tournament.

Every time they're matched together in a tournament, they give it their all and it always ends in a draw. Their sense of competition grows stronger and they keep trying harder and harder. King Arthur appreciates the genuine challenge that Sir Lancelot poses to him, and Sir Lancelot enjoys the contest to his title as the Ultimate Knight. Over and over they clash, unable to defeat each other, and yet they look forward to their duels the most.

And then one day, Sir Lancelot lands a blow that knocks King Arthur off his horse. It's the first time either of them has won a tournament against the other.

King Arthur takes his defeat in stride, meeting Sir Lancelot with his hand outstretched and a smile on his face. "Congratulations, Sir Lancelot. You've finally bested me."

Their hands meet, holding on a little too long.

"Name your prize, Sir. You've earned it."

Sir Lancelot grips the hand in his and sinks to a kneel. He kisses his hand, where his ring would be, peering up at King Arthur through the slits in his visor.

"Name me as one of your own."

The crowd gasps. A French knight, bequeathing himself to an English king? A stir ripples through the stands as King Arthur grins at the request.

"It is done, my Lancelot."

the best part of drawing pretty shadowthehedgehogs is all the gender energy it can get out of us as a society. shadow is our ultimate destruction girl. our tired agender icon. our gnc trans guy with rainbow eyeliner. one fourth chaos emerald but ALL the damn pronouns and glittery nail polish.

#omg i should draw shadow with rainbow eyeliner #how come i have never thought of that

[radialhighway]

come take ibuprofen with me

#CONVINCING #colour me considering #this is so pretty #and i am so called out #sitting here putting off ibuprofen #perfect art at perfect time #museum gallery #<3 #neo

every sonic fan has a super convoluted au in their heads that they will most likely never put to paper because its just so indepth and detailed that it'd fill an entire library

#so true #you can only catch a fleeting glimpse when i get rambly #maybe a cursed princess drawing #maybe eggman holding hands with someone tentatively #maybe some deep soleanna boys lore #it's complicated
