#' * out of character / kiwi.

[kiwinatorwaffles]

when i vent about how shipping culture and romance in media has led to aspec discrimination and a corrosion of friendship in real life some people respond to it with "well you're aspec and dislike to ship however i'm allo and it's a part of me to like shipping" they literally miss my point. i don't dislike ships. i have a few ships myself. it's completely valid to enjoy these aspects as a personal preference. i dislike shipping CULTURE and the insistence that everything must be romantic/sexual.

amanormativity is the reason why friendships in real life are treated as inherently lesser than a romantic relationship. it's why people get made fun of for being virgins when everyone should just mind their damn business. and it reflects hard in the fandom preference for everything ship-related and pushing aside anything else. also saying it's inherently allo to ship sounds really fucking amanormative to me but what can i say

#aphobia #kiwi’s aspec posting #aspec #i could say a lot about storytelling and media literacy but i feel like that's a little out of my league #like shoving characters into tropes and turning them into blank dolls to kiss type stuff #someone smarter and a little less afraid of discourse can do it instead

Another Random Assortment of my AU Scribbles from Various points in Time. Notes Are Below:

Yes I forgot the ... Handlebars ??? Omega has on his shoulders on that First Drawing . Yes this is a Crime that I Rectify in my later Scribbles. Otherwise the changes made were made for my Awesome Au where I can make the designs easier to draw for my Puny Mind.

Uncle Chuck but he’s Evil. And his Mustache? Fake. He puts it over his nose. Why did I make him Evil? I thought it would be Funny. I tried to make him look Less like Old Sonic and turned his eyebrows into Spines. His outfit is loosely based off his Pre Reboot Archie Fit. But only Loosely.

I don't actually know Why I did designs for Honey and Mina. Honey looks more Akin to a Tiger now and I Epically Failed to translate her outfit to my Redesign Rules. Mina I completely overhauled Simply for the sake of it, I guess. Tried to keep the Important Elements and Reinterpret them.

Just turned Wave's shirt into that fluff the other two Babylon Rogues have. I didn't add her Glasses here but I Probably would give them Back.

Bunnie and Cassia I scribbled Awhile Back. I don't have Much to say, considering it was A Long While Ago. But I liked them Well Enough to put here, I guess. I Apparently tried and Failed to scribble Clove as well (which is why she’s Missing)

Harvey Who and his Iconic Line AND YOU COULDN’T EVEN STOP ONE SKUNK???? He is in my AU for that Alone

I thought it would be fun to Combine aspects of the Freedom Fighters and Secret Freedom Fighters. Especially the Totally Original Field Outfits (The Joke is They Are Actually from Sonic Rivals)

Shadow and Maria are also Here. Contributing. Filling up Free Space. Etc.

“OOHOOHOOHOO!! NOW WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING!?”

ah! finally finished coloring this! put it on halt for a while! anyways uh. funny ghost bird guy from funny music game or something like that

#LITERALLY WHO LET YOU #anyways uh. birdie guy who might be a little fucked up <33 #he’s literally so shaped who let him be like that /pos #top ten fucked up girlypops of the world #I feel like the coloring could have been a little better but like #I had to make do with the character’s body which is basically just. completely black. #I try not to use pure black or white in my art cause it’s hard to shade that— usually settle for warmer tones #settled with a more purple-ish here #basically my shading style doesn’t mend well with pure black or white (or gray either to be frank) #so usually I have to find workarounds like just making it slightly more of a saturated color or at least give the idea of that #I think it came out alright here ?? #barnaby billie bust up #bbu barnaby #Billie Bust Up #BBU #The Kiwi Draws

i feel like we need a knk slice of life spinoff thing. the doomed yaoi storyline we have rn is good and all, but tbh i wanna see all my favorite goobers just hanging out and doing normal people things. i think thatd just be nice honestly

#kiwi is eveposting... #kara no kioku #i feel like having something like that would be a refreshing change of pace compared to the constant peril of the main storyline tbh #and i wanna see more of the characters and get to know them better !! #like 90% of the cast never really gets their chance to like... have any sort of personality imo #even rei gets cheated out of this tbh. i cant even really describe rei as a person because hes just A Guy Who Is Suffering #< same thing with nagi and yukito tbh #but its even worse for rei because like. hes the protagonist and yet hes sadly not that memorable or unique #anyway sorry for the rant in the tags here... that was not intentional TTOTT

Gotham Knights 16&17: *stares into the camera* I am WAY too white (I’m not even Pākehā!) for this but also I know enough to say this outright. That’s some racist shit right there.

Anyway society be normal about tā moko in Māori and Pasifika communities and about not using it to depict villainhood.

(Seriously, I’m Australian, I can use all of about a dozen words of te reo appropriately in context and read/understand maybe a few dozen more? But I can hack BASIC PASIFIKA POLITENESS)

#z canon read throughs #the things Devin Grayson has done to characters #my te reo use is at the very general level of ‘I have Kiwi friends and so am used to the modern background level’ #at least half my vocab is just bird names #just out here trying to make sure I use macrons appropriately

okay - okay have this tiny starter call if you’d like x

Writing fic for an American show when you're not American is kind of like doing housework: if you've done your job right, no one should ever notice how much work went in to making it appear completely unremarkable. But I sometimes wish I could put a neon sign in the margin that says YOU GUYS I REMEMBERED ALL BY MYSELF TO CALL THE BEDSIDE CABINET A NIGHTSTAND, ARE YOU PROUD????

#hey I had to rework this WHOLE paragraph because it turned out it had a foreign turn of phrase in it #and it just didn't make sense anymore without it #silverware #washcloth #countertop #robe #gotten #and my personal favourite #I have learnt so many phrases I didn't know were british! #and even discovered one uniquely kiwi phrase I would have SWORN was british until I tried to give it to a british character #so much fun to be had with dialects :D

[kiwinatorwaffles]

love whenever people write posts like "c!desertduo beating each other to death in the cactus ring" we kind of all assume the characters in that context but also adding the character tag just has a funnier implication that somebody might fuck it up and accidentally interpret it as the ccs doing insane minecraft shit in real life

#except for dsmp because 70% of things i hear about them i cant figure out if its character or cc #kiwi’s calls #mcyt

You're Never Going to Believe This . But I Have More . (WHAT?!) At this point in time I was Attempting to draw the Cast more consistently. However I am Not Consistent which causes Some Issues. Someday I will Achieve Consistency.

12 year old Kiwi would simultaneously be Very Very Disappointed and also Very Proud

#disappointed because I’m 24 still single never had a boy friend no job no degree and dropping out of college soon #but proud because i drew a person and he turned out decently well #ive written a lot of fiction which includes and centers on original characters and i even have a completed 20k words fic #(and while i didnt know fanfiction existed at age 12 i would have loved it. and also just been proud at having written fiction) #i have a car of my very own #i own a nice gaming console (switch) and games for it and my family still has a working wii #12yo Kiwi would have been astounded and very happy to see the 112% completion (or whatever number it is) in botw and just how many korok #seeds i collected #she would have loved to see the 10% exploration i have in every genshin area to date #she would have been happy i have friends even tho 95% of them are online (I love you all so very much here have hugs 🫂🫂) #I’m sure theres way more #anyways my point is i should try and be proud of where i’m at right now #even if its miles away from where i wanted to be st this point in my life #I’m gonna try and do nice and fun things as a gift to 12yo kiwi #maybe that will help reduce the incessant negative voice in my head telling me what a complete failure and letdown and disappointment i am #also i think 12yo kiwi would have had her little mind blown at the existence of weighted blankets #and would have LOVED the loz games/franchise/etc #and also would have laughed to discover that i am still the exact same height as her #(I haven’t grown since like 7th grade. i have been 5’2” for around half my life at this point #anyways i guess what I’m saying is do what makes you happy. make little child you happy.
