Ok y’all, important question, I got myself Hobo Johnson tickets for my birthday but I want a fresh colour for it.

Do we do dark purple, or half red, half black again?

Cause I’m growing my hair out after this so if I stuck to darker colours I don’t have to A) bleach it as much and B) touch up the dye as often cause the roots will blend in more…

Beyonce, Black Pride and Black America

I love Beyonce and I've always been aware of some of the critique she gets for treating black capitalism as black liberation. I will not be critiquing her through an anti capitalist lens today but rather question the effectiveness of her activism. What does Beyonce actually achieve in the grand scheme of things?

About two days ago I was listening to Black Parade for maybe the 100th time. I've been listening to it casually since the day it came out and always enjoyed it. I've never really paid attention to what she says in the song but this time a lyric really struck me. “Fuck these laid edges imma let it shrivel up”. Now I completely get the sentiment here. Not abiding to the social pressures of having your hair constantly look “presentable” and manipulating the natural texture of your hair can be rather liberating. Black women's hair texture and styles have been policed heavily in western societies and held to a higher standard than virtually every other race. Accompanied with the discourse that takes place within the community that perpetuates texturism and other oppressive views that stem from white supremacist ideologies, it is a deep seeded issue. I'm sure some people will remember the discourse regarding braids as not being an acceptable “birthday hairstyle". One twitter user even wrote “a bitch really told me to get braids as my birthday hairstyle ..i unfollowed shorty so quick”.

The lyric did make me laugh though, because Beyonce is and has been a prominent figure that influences the beauty standards within the black community. Do some quick research and scroll through her instagram page and you will see a perfectly laid wig or weave in virtually every post. While we all know that instagram is just a collection of people's “best” pictures and carefully crafted images, presenting your “best” self as the version of you that upholds to european beauty standards is interesting. To me.

Yes, she is ultimately a victim to the beauty standard that has been put in place. However, when she does embrace hairstyles such as braids and locs, it is usually done in artistic endeavors. In a music video or film. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, but it can unintentionally treat black liberation and african traditions as a spectacle. Which is very much played out in the entertainment industry today. At highly acclaimed and exclusive events such as the grammys, oscars etc. you will notice that beyonce puts the braids away and adopts to her usual wig or weave. When I looked up to see if she has worn braids to red carpet events it is very few and her most notable braided red carpet look was for the “The Lion King” premier which speaks for itself. I didn't even go in on another lyric in the song "waist beads from Yoruba" which, as a Nigerian who is a part of the Yoruba tribe, was hilarious.

I just want to highlight some irony that takes place here in regards to her music and her brand vs. how she chooses to present herself “professionally”. For me, more impact could take place within the community if we saw her in these “exclusive” spaces wearing her natural texture or even braids. Normalizing it to people through action rather than separating it from her ‘work environment” because ultimately that's what these events are for her. I am just using Beyonce as an example for an issue that includes most people in her industry and goes a lot deeper than this. Like many other black women, Beyonce has been a role model and a highly regarded figure in my household for as long as I can remember. I grew up on her music and always loved it. I will also argue the fact that she is the best performer of this generation. All that being said I do believe it is possible to critique one's actions without belittling their character as a whole and still be a fan.

domesticating your vampire: a memoir

(beautiful high res version on patre0n)

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion #tavstarion #KARLACH #i nearly forgot her #when you just escaped vampire slavery but now you have to save for a down payment #i can't stress how important it is to me that astarion has a birthday #i don't know why #also sex is fine but have you ever had someone wash your hair for you. there is nothing more intimate #i'm devastated that i had to desaturate the polaroid because the lighting was so pretty

a comic about wine, a wager, and reconnecting through your weird kids

-

this behemoth of a comic is finally done - and just in time for zoros birthday huehue. initially i wanted to make a zolu introspective from an outsider POV and was like you know who would have really funny input on this … mihawk. and then it spiraled into seven pages of mishanks sitting and talking. i thought it would be funny if mishanks ended up doing self imposed couples therapy the day mihawk brought luffys bounty bc well. its kind of hilarious to think abt mihawk realizing shanks was onto something all those years ago after he meets zoro and luffy. like sure this new generation is batshit crazy but my god are they cooking. anyways. cheers. get some kids

#one piece #i seriously cannot explain what came over me in order to make this #tldr: mihawk saying hubris is ok if you do it in a cool way #anyways #happy birthday RORONOA ZORO #mishanks #zolu #dracule mihawk #roronoa zoro #red haired shanks #monkey d. luffy #opla #one piece fanart #my art

Hermitcraft Postal Service off-roading!! I really love all the vehicles Pearl has been making here recently, so I just had to draw her driving one. I was inspired primarily by the mail van, and made this roofless just for fun.

Full image and closeups below! (Fair warning: the full image has a lot of perspective/motion blur at the edges)

#hermitcraft #hermitblr #pearlescentmoon #ethoslab #tangotek #hermitcraft post office #vehicles are surprisingly fun to draw #I believe in curly-haired Etho supremacy #any excuse to draw Pearl being cooler than anyone else #also happy [insert-middle-aged-dad-age-here]th birthday to Tango #aris paracosm art

when everything's made to be broken (i just want you to know who i am) by @hoteadepresso pt 1

‘Stop.’ Will forced out, shaking his head in disbelief, hurt painting his features ‘Mike, that’s not funny. It’s mean.’ He thought he was joking. Mike was throwing his bleeding heart onto his floor, and he thought it was some sort of a prank. Fuck. ‘You really think I would joke about it?’ his voice sounded like it came from far away, weak and broken. His hand twitched, yearning to touch Will, to take his hand, to brush his fingertips against his warm skin for just one second even if that was all he could ever get.

late happy birthday present for Alex, the bestestest person out there!!!

a little bit of backstory; Once upon a time user @hoteadepresso wrote a fic (click here!!) (read it, its fucking amazing!!!!!!) which I immediately wanted to make fanart of, so, ofc it took me like, over a year to finish just this pt 1 <33

thus, the artstyle changes, which are a thing in this thing
