#I. / DEPICTION.

[markodragic]

I dont think anything on this earth tickles me so hard as how busted white people look in the yakuza franchise

its so dhsjdjfjxjfjgk

#something about stephen spining is also uniquely funny. i think its the eyes #honestly its good tho. after playing games where the devs cant seem to accurately depict any features EXCEPT white ones yakuza is an oasis #of a handful of really really ugly white npcs #rgg #yakuza #ryu ga gotoku

These started out as MLP versions of the dog lads but quickly got away from me and became just their own thing. Machete is a medieval unicorn and Vasco was inspired by Renaissance tack and carousel horses.

#own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #Machete #Vasco #once again being reminded how weird and difficult horses are #and troubled by the fact that if I want to depict Vasco doing equestrian things I sort of have to eventually figure out how to draw horses

Something Something Avatar The Last Airbender was fundamentally about showing the horrible long-lasting effects of both war and violence in a grand sense (the way people suffer under fire nation occupation including the air nomad genocide and the state of the southern water tribe) but also a personal sense (zukos entire arch) and the show goes to great lengths to avoid glorifying war, often specifically choosing only depict the aftermath of terrible violence while not graphically depicting the violence itself.

And I think it's a profound misunderstanding, maybe even an insult to the source text to continually depict gratuitous death and violence as a focal point of the live action.

#i can provide example of this if need be #the depiction of the air nomads being invaded by the fighting #kataras mothers body #zuko and ozais agni kai #theres probably more #but thats what ive gathered from cultral osmosis alone #atla #atla live action #atla netflix #avatar #avatar the last airbender #live action avatar #prince zuko #atla zuko #zuko #avatar aang #aang #atla aang #air nomads #katara #katara atla

#if i think about it too hard and im like 'fuck (anguish)' #here's a personal depiction and a sort of test run after seeing fanon depictions #i just ran with the idea that you can't see them but feel them #(and also the idea that the fear is comforting bc it wants you there) #the magnus archives #the magnus archives fanart #tma #tma fanart #martin blackwood #fanart #*boop* art

THE DOCTOR We had a pact, him and me. Every star in the universe, we were going to see them all.

My version of The Master and The Doctor in their Academy days 😊

A speedpaint video of this will be available at my Patreon on april 1st!

#doctor who #thoschei #doctor x master #academy era #my art #My thought process for their appearances here was sort of an average between their incarnations #the doctor is mostly taller and has messier and usually lighter hair while the master is shown to have had black hair in a flashback #also since Hartnell had white hair as an old man and we are not sure what color his hair was I thought what if it was always white #I've seen most draw him as blond but couldn't find any sources for it so I just went with this instead because it looks cool #I had fun making Prydonian robes designs!! I would love to design a bunch of Gallifreyan fashion for each Chapter and House it seems so fun #I also wanted to draw a Gallifreyan night!! since I never see any depictions of it even tho the planet should have nights #even if it's a binary system since the orbits would have to be very large for gravitational stability both suns would set at similar times #anyway I'll stop talking lmao 🫡

#is this anything #morrissey #the smiths #heaven knows i'm miserable now #emeto tw #I do not know if that is necessary for such a simplistic depiction? but I would always rather play it safe

look this site really is awful for ppl with OCD so i just wanna reassure anyone that you are not Tainted Forever for consuming a piece of media with questionable content. the fact that youre able to recognize it speaks to your critical thinking skills, which is good, certain depictions should be critiqued. but you dont need to ruminate on it to the point where you begin to feel guilty for simply witnessing gross or creepy writing choices. you dont have to vindicate yourself to the fictional tumblr discourser inside your head, saying that youre now a bad person bc you watched the wrong anime. your actual response to it still matters of course, but thats that and this is this. just seeing it is neutral, you didnt commit a thought crime. its literally fine.

IF YOU ARE USING THIS POST TO ONLY FURTHER YOUR STUPID PEDANTIC BLACK-AND-WHITE DISCOURSE TO GET A "GOCHA" OVER THE OTHER SIDE YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. DON'T USE OUR DISORDER TO VINDICATE YOUR BEHAVIOR. THOUGHT CRIMES ARENT REAL BUT ACTIONS STILL MATTER. PEOPLE WITH OCD ARE CAPABLE OF THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT OUR ACTIONS AND RESPONSES, EVEN WITH INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS AND RUMINATIONS. TREATING US AS IF WE CANNOT, ONLY TO FORCE US TO USE YOUR STRINGENT UNNUANCED DISCOURSE OPINIONS ABOUT "PURITY CULTURE" (TRIGGERING TO THOSE WITH OCD) AS THE ONLY REASONABLE GUIDE DOES MORE TO EXACERBATE OUR OBSESSIONS THAN HELP US. YOU ARE THE ISSUE AS WELL. YOU ARE ALSO THE TUMBLR DISCOURSER INSIDE OUR HEADS. DO NOT USE US FOR YOUR DISCOURSE. WE ARE PEOPLE, NOT HYPOTHETICALS TO USE TO EXPLAIN IF YOUR FROZEN INCEST FANFICTION IS OKAY OR NOT. TREATING US AS IF WE CANNOT AUTONOMOUSLY HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS ON WHEN MEDIA IS TANGIBLY HARMFUL IS ABLEIST. FORCING US TO ABIDE BY YOUR IN-GROUP'S SET OF UNEQUIVOCAL MORALS IS ABLEIST. ACTING AS THOUGH THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR US IS MINDLESS MEDIA CONSUMPTION IN WHICH "EVERY DEPICTION OF XYZ, NO MATTER HOW POORLY DONE OR EXPLOITATIVE, IS ALWAYS OKAY AND IF YOU DISAGREE YOURE ACTUALLY AN EVIL 'ANTI'" IS ABLEIST. THOSE ARE THE SAME BLACK-AND-WHITE MORALS THAT SEND US INTO OBSESSIVE SPIKES, BUT FLIPPED. A SET OF MORALS IN WHICH QUESTIONING THE IMPACT OF A PIECE OF WORK MAKES YOU AN "EVIL CONSERVATIVE PURITAN "ANTI"" DOES NOT HELP MORAL OCD.

YOU ARE THE DAMN TUMBLR DISCOUERSERS MAKING THIS SHIT WORSE FOR US! YOURE THE EXACT SAME BUT WITH FLIPPED BUZZWORDS! YOU'RE MISSING THE WHOLE DAMN POINT!

#the fictional tumblr discourser inside your head is like the opposite of critical thinking its just extremes #blocking that helps you form better thoughts and come to a better understanding of why said content can be harmful in said depiction etc et #and to be clear shutting off all critical thoughts is not the solution either bc then you end up with.... Those People #the ones who jack off to lolicon on ao3 and think its the same artistically as lolita x_x #this post is not a vindication for that sort of thing. or say like actively supporting an openly bigoted series or author #those are different things because they are actual choices and actions. you chose to respond that way #thats what i mean when i say your actual response still matters. as in your actions surrounding it

Thoughts of you

#phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #narumitsu #wrightworth #ace attorney #fan art #aa #pressed to say this is ship art because its really just im obsessed with them art #HOWEVER. the idea WAS that these are a series of instances where they were thinking of each other and/or depictions of those memories #also if you look at it they’re supposed to sort of surround one another #leftmost phoenix is surrounded by miles and likewise the rightmost miles is surrounded by phoenix #not perfectly exectuted but not terribly done either #surprising no one i love the yawny phoenix bc 1 i relate but 2 i love him with morning shadow like HOMF #when i say they make me insane i mean i did this in less than 48 hours #no brain head full of narumitsu #rendevok

Modern Unicorn (left) next to extinct megafauna ancestor (right).. Based partially off of the extinct Kyptoceras + cave painting horses*

#hoof draws #* realistically horses actually became bigger over the course of their evolution so cave ponies would be smaller #but i wanted the pony ancestor to be mega fuckers #idk. the concept of mlp horses being descended from a megafauna caveman species is fun #++also since unicorns are usually depicted with cloven hooves it would make sense for them to be descended from a bovine/cervine species #of which kyptoceras are neither I think? iirc the entire family is extinct

waiting for everyone to get on board with "fiction that depicts dark subject matter is not inherently romanticizing it" so we can move on to "fiction that romanticizes dark subject matter should not inherently be condemned and sometimes the dark subject matter may in fact be Intentionally Romanticized to Make A Point"

#like. idk. not every piece of art about dark subject matter is going to be straightforward in saying 'THIS IS BAD THIS IS BAD' outright #and i don't think it's a bad thing. on the contrary i think if art that depicts dark subject matter is condemned #for not portraying it as Terrible and Bad or Rebuking It Outright and Blatantly #then a whole lot of very interesting art would be condemned and shunned and that's a damn shame #mine #media

Love how Alastor is depicted by Husk as the “King of Spades,” which, in cartomancy, refers to an individual of bad faith, or a ‘predator’ to use someone to their own end. Which, for Husk, is true in every regard.

Meanwhile, Husk is depicted as the “Jack of Diamods”

This one is ‘the Messenger,’ or in some translations, ‘the Traitor.’ It is said to ‘take more than allowed.’ While it doesn’t fit nearly as well, I think that the latter aspect of the card does fit, as one can only be so lucky before your luck runs out. There is one particular interpretation that labels the card as an ‘irresponsible man.’

Take this as you will.
