queerplatonic relationship. reblog if you agree!

people who love to say “the only foolproof method of pregnancy-prevention is abstinence” with that smug grin really do not want to think about abstinence as something with a statistically measurable fail rate that is probably higher than that of condoms

So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know. 

Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.

Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!

Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)

If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE. 

Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.

Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.

OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS

Nikola doodles, I like the idea of giving her an anatomically wrong skin heart

I am literally fucking BEGGING you all to also acknowledge the racism behind the terms "non-man" and "non-woman" and how they're used in queer definitions.

Black and Indigenous queer people have literally been talking about this since the definition was COINED but there's literally NO acknowledgement of this when pointing out why "non-men loving non-men" and "non-women loving non-women" are shitty fucking definitions to force on a whole community.

"Nonman" and "nonwoman" are terms that have been historically used to describe the degendering of black people in society. And words can obviously be used to mean different things- we don't have to stop using these terms altogether. But forcing these terms on a whole community of queer people is really fucking antiblack.

Not to mention that it blatantly degenders a lot of 2S lesbians and gays as well. It basically tells them that they can't be 2S and as a lesbian or gay at the same time, because then they would be "contradictory." I seriously hope I don't have to explain how racist it is to exclude a large portion of Two-Spirit people from your queer label because they don't fit into your neat little white gender binary.

Like these definitions aren't bad to use for yourself personally- but stop forcing them on all lesbians/gays. And if you're advocating for why these shouldn't be used as the most prominent definition, PLEASE acknowledge the racism aspect of it.

Am I the only one that gets massive "macho douchebag is a massive closet case" vibes from Jared the Boneturner? There's the half-assed toxically masculine bravado of the infamous "and who's this, your boyfriend?" exchange from the episode he gets exploded in, but also his extreme petty jealousy when he felt like his bestie was moving on without him. And the man has a passion for art and gardening, both the sort of hobby that assholes would revoke your "man card" for, but only goes about them in the most brutal and fucked up way possible, as if compensating. And he's the most notable scion of the Power associated with hating your body.

Ah, Jared. If only you'd accepted your feelings. Then maybe you'd be nurturing orchids not made of people meat.

Here's some notes I've compiled for trans people seeking to become fear avatars:

-the flesh- classic, we all know what's going on there, body image issues, additional limbs, twisted bones, general body horror, a lot of toxic masculinity and way too many gym bros in the space. Very popular with trans people in the fandom, because it's relatable but for me it's mid at best. 5/10

-the corruption- you can transition into a cool bug of your choice or a hive and noone could tell you shit about using they/them pronouns, very accepting community, but there's no place for privacy or personal space. 7/10

-the beholding- somehow I doubt the Magnus Institute's insurance policy covers gender affirming care, but maybe you could get someone else to pay for your transition via blackmail or sugarbabying, don't be surprised if your scars open to reveal eyes though, I think body hopping via eyeball exchange is only for Jonah, but maybe you could figure it out. 6/10

-the lonely- not gonna do much for you, unless you wanna transition into mist, also you easily cut off all the bigots from your life and send anyone who tries to mess with you into the fog realm, but it's gonna be really difficult for you to get a solid support network. 4/10

-the dark- go ahead and disappear from your old life if you want to, noone's gonna find you even if they try, you could also dabble in body hopping via black goo, the religious aspect might not be everyone's vibe though. 6/10

-the end- fake your death and live your best life, you could also shed your mortal vessel or perhaps become a skeleton, no notes. 9/10

-the web- if you want to transition into a spider this one's for you, very specific, but better than corruption imo, also web binder/tucktape anyone? 8/10

-the hunt- you might transition into a werewolf, very badass, be careful not to transition into a cop though. 5/10

-the stranger- literally just steal any face you want, frankenstein your perfect skin, it's that easy. 10/10

-the slaughter- there's no place for gender in war, sorry but you're getting ptsd, not hrt. 0/10

-the desolation- you get to sculpt yourself into any shape you want, kinda like the flesh, but without all the baggage, it's gonna hurt like hell, but you'll get used to it, be trans, commit arson. 9/10

-the spiral- your gender is literally unknowable, also you might become a maze-like structure or it may become you, if you ever felt gender envy while looking at a door, this one is for you. 7/10

-the burried- if you ever slept in a binder get in the coffin, I don't make the rules. It does give you a feeling of safety and cool dinosaur fossils, so why hide in the closet when you can hide underground? 3/10

-the vast- not a lot in terms of gender affirming care, unless you get gender envy from like space or something, but you get to fly, live really long and feed your enemies to the sky. 2/10

-the extinction- noone can question your gender if everyone is dead, I guess. But also there's trash everywhere. 1/10

Mundane things that feel like TMA entities

The Buried - When you cover your entire body in blankets but have to poke your head out a few minutes later bc you can't breathe.

The Corruption - Being anxious about opening a tupperware from the back of the fridge, the contents of which have probably been rotting in there for months.

The Dark - When you turn off the lights in a room and walk just a bit faster than normal back into the light.

The Desolation - Burning paper, tossing something into a bonfire just to burn it.

The End - Trying not to think about how the elderly people you know won't be around in a while.

The Extinction - Anxiety about not recycling a singular plastic bottle.

The Eye - Looking at yourself in those little surveillance monitors that show customers in a store what the cameras are seeing.

The Hunt - Playing tag or any other chasing/being chased game.

The Flesh - Picking at your skin, in any way.

The Lonely - Driving at night through the suburbs.

The Slaughter - Killing any sort of bug, stomping on ants just because.

The Spiral - Losing something small, upturning everything around you, only to find the thing in a pocket or a place you don't remember putting it.

The Stranger - Not liking your voice in recordings because it sounds different from how you usually hear it.

The Vast - Looking out the window on an airplane, watching the world fade away beneath the clouds.

The Web - Going through a bureaucratic procedure like renewing a passport or filling out banking paperwork.

[tabithamoonstone]

Oddly specific, mundane things that are aligned with the 15 fears:

The Eye- Making deep eye contact with a stranger on the platform as the train pulls away.

The Hunt- Wanting something so badly that you can't stay still anymore.

The Buried- Trying to get your phone back when it falls between your bed and the wall

The Vast- Being a child and hearing about how unknowably large Chuthulu is for the first time.

The Flesh- Looking in the mirror and realising your body's changed since the last time you really looked.

The Lonely- Realising you're the only customer at the supermarket.

The Corruption- When you see one ant but once you've focused on it you can see the rest of them.

The End- Holding an antique object and knowing that it's original owner is long dead.

The Desolation- That gut wrenching feeling when you've lost something you know you're not going to be able to get back.

The Stranger- Looking into the eyes of a loved one and not being able to see anything you know in there.

The Spiral- When you say something loud enough to be heard and absolutely nobody processes it or responds.

The Dark- Straining your eyes to try and see something at the end of an unlit corridor that you swear you could almost see.

The Slaughter- Ripping up a letter with your full name and address on and throwing it in the bin.

The Extinction- Being the last player left alive in a survival game and realising that in another life that could happen for real.

The Web- That burning, guilty feeling after you're manipulated into doing something you didn't want to do.

I’M BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN-

Well

My child, the Flesh avatar, She/It

[tabithamoonstone]

LISTEN UP MAGNUS ARCHIVES FANS‼️

I WANNA KNOW YOUR TMA FEAR ALIGNMENT/S 😡 THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL /j

i’ll go first, mine is the lonely :3

#i am torn between the spiral and the flesh but i usually say the spiral #while the flesh is my favorite i'm not really scared of it? #but i fear the spiral as much as i love it just as most avatars do

[tabithamoonstone]

all i need from the magnus protocol is a afab avatar of the flesh, who hit puberty and just went absolutely feral because of everythig that comes with afab puberty

[tabithamoonstone]

tma flesh avatar who’s an artist that draws the human figure increasingly more fucked up and horrific the more they draw

[tabithamoonstone]

Like many of you, I am fascinated with the state of Jonathan Sims head archivist of the magnus institute London... In particular, his ribs! Many focus only on his missing two, but there are many more things to consider!

Jon's a fragile guy, I mean it's pretty much his whole canon appearance! For a man like him to be thrown around like a ragdoll for pretty much his entire time as archivist, he'd certainly have suffered more than a few broken ribs!

To contribute even more to the damage, after the unknowing, Jon was found with no pulse and not breathing, meaning he would have undergone CPR for at least 20 minutes. And trust me, THAT BREAKS RIBS.

Aside from bones, I can't imagine Jon's lungs are in the best state either. He's a long time smoker, was exposed to dangerous amounts of CO2, and survived a massive explosion followed by a collapsing building. Needless to say, these sort of things make it hard to keep lungs healthy!

Despite all the pain and horror, I like to think that Jon managed to stay looking at least relatively put together, so picture this:

A polite, slightly awkward office worker comes into your clinic. You decide that to diagnose properly, you'll need to do a chest X-ray! He's distracted, but readily agrees. After the brief wait, you get the images back, and see THE MOST FUCKED UP CHEST YOU HAVE EVER SEEN. A horrifying amount of healed fractures, warped and re-broken; two ribs are just straight up gone, both lungs scarred beyond survivability, and somehow this guy is just sitting there. Alive, as far as you can tell.

The man remains composed, and smiles politely as you stare at the X-rays, and you begin to think that maybe those aren't acne scars across his face.

[ID1: A Barbie meme with Barbie as the distortion from The Magnus Archives.. She is wearing a fluffy pink jacket and sleeveless green turtleneck with a penrose triangle earring. She is smiling widely with one hand under her chin and the other held up beside her head. The text reads: This Barbie is the throat of delusion incarnate.

ID2: A Barbie meme with Barbie as the boneturner from The Magnus Archives. She has five hands: one one her hip, one flexing on an arm sprouting from her back, two branching out from another arm, and one relaxed at her side. She is wearing a blue and pink tank top and dark blue pants and her hair is tied up into a ponytail. She is looking off to the side with a smile. The text reads: This Barbie is a servant of the flesh.

ID3: A Barbie meme with Barbie as a doll facing forward with a blank smile. She is wearing a pink dress and is lit from the bottom. The text reads: This Barbie is unable to be known.

listening to Magnus Archives is actually activating The Curse that makes you categorise characters into the Fear Entities forever. i will never escape it i'll always look at a new blorbo and go 'hmmm if you were an avatar of eldritch horror which flavour would you be'. anyway all this is to say that Laois Dungeon Meshi is an avatar of the Flesh
