#More Empathy

[stuckinapatriarchalbullshitland]

*Not Camren related *

Anne Heche has died today. After a serious car accident under the influence of alcohol. Her death is being a trending topic on social networks and many people are talking about it

Among those people on Twitter I found this thread

This person only cared about the person who lost the house after Anne's crash and she shared a website for donations.

And I don't understand it. I am very sorry that the person who lost his house lost it due to that accident because he is not to blame for anything, because that was it, an accident.

An accident suffered by a woman, regardless of her character as an artist, who has spent her entire life battling mental health problems and addictions and who lost her life today

But here is this character worried about other less important things, because yes, the person lost their house, but I suppose that Anne's car insurance could cover it or the people related to her could pay the damages.

But Anne's life is not salvageable, folks. A human life can be insured, but it is never recovered when it dies

Where was the empathy? How relevant can your tweet be? I'm sorry Anne lost her battle. I still can't get the video out of my head where they show how they take her away on a stretcher and Anne fights with the paramedics wanting to run away hurt as she was. And reading that tweet pissed me off so much

Rest in peace Anne Heche. I hope you can find that peace in Heaven ❤ since you couldn't do it in a world without empathy

catalysts, protectors

#man those episodes #so many things put into perspective #like Simon’s role as a protector and his kindness and empathy and compassion and existence being the catalyst for the rest of ooo to #flourish #and Betty is a protector of Simon #I wonder if the last two episodes will explore more of her character? there’s so much to be explored about her giving so much of herself #to Simon but not thinking about what she wants for herself #do we get to explore her feelings or see her at all? will she have changed or learned to let go #I think there will be some sort of closure for the both of them #but at what cost #I am still crying over that scene with Simon’s memory of Betty and their song #my art #fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers #simon petrikov #betty grof #petrigrof #golbetty

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

#getou suguru #kaneki ken #abyss twin #i know there are others who im not thinking of rn #feel free to reblog with more examples #aphelion.txt #tropes #WAIT I REMEMBERED MORE #jaina proudmoore #dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #phosphophyllite #i just spent like half an hour trying to find this on tv tropes but it must be. Too specific of a thing i have in mind bc #I just kept finding similar and related but too broad categories #despair event horizon. fallen hero. well intentioned extremist. etc etc etc #like specifically i'm talking about when the character's EMPATHY is the CRUX of the problem. sosooo crunchyjuicytasty #edit: #also just know that i am reading every tag on this post #and enthusiastically scribbling down the names i dont recognizr #so i can check out their series later #edit 2 wow this post blew up 🫡 godspeed fellow villain likers #the amount of people tagging this as 'me lmao' is concerning to me #wwx #how did i fucking forget this was also yllz era wwx

neuvillette is just so peak character to me because everytime we see him do some regular human things i instantly remember that he's literally the hydro dragon sovereign incarnate, one of the 7 elemental dragon sovereigns who ruled teyvat before the primordial one and descenders came, a being that possesses power that far surpasses archons and you're telling me he fell for a marketing scheme

#you're telling me he spent half a day making a little dragon ladle and a legal codex to join in on banter???? #crazy. insane. perfect. #i will always think about how he could've been this cold and distant character #but instead he's filled with empathy. kindness. and a willingness to integrate more with humans #but also keeps his disdain for celestia #god.. just peak character fr #genshin impact #neuvillette

Idk, I like when people post personal posts. And when people post things in distress, I want to help them not attack them. Never would I want to do that. Not if they were feeling sad .

#But some #Including mom .... #Why you don't show weakness. #Too late here #Its safe here anyway #Except words hurt #Always #Haha you're such a wimp #I'd k maybe sensitive ppl #NEED MORE OF A BREAK #Need compassion #More empathy #Personal posts r the best bc they show the real person #Unique #But maybe I'm in the minority and should go live in the woods somewhere. #Wih what money

i lose 80% of respect for a movie the moment a female protagonist wakes up in bed with artfully tousled hair and a full face of unsmudged makeup what is that mcfuckery

#don't care how good the movie was up until that point #the director clearly has no meaningful grip on human reality #maybe i'll finish the movie but from this moment on i am watching a grown man playing with dolls in a sandbox #which is actually a bit insulting to kids as metaphors go #bc i've MET kids who have way more empathy for their dolls than this man apparently does to his female characters #who the FLIP gave this man a 50 million dollar budget. he has never met a woman

Kurvitz stresses that Kim doesn't actually have a character sheet hidden in Disco Elysium's code. Imagining that Lieutenant Kitsuragi has only one natural attribute point in Motorics helps the ZA/UM team to understand the depth of his character beyond what's referenced in the game's dialogue. "We just came up with this stuff for coherency," says Kurvitz. "And because we're nerds."

"I like to think Kim has a Thought Cabinet project called Revolutionary Aerostatic Brigades that he's worked on since he was a teenager," Kurvitz says. "This raises the learning caps for his Reaction Speed and Interfacing."

Kim's high Volition skill makes him impervious to prying, Kurvitz says, as the detective can find out on occasions being met with Kim's brick-wall resolve. Kim often chastises these whims of the detective's, but will occasionally play along. The Lieutenant finds his new partner funny, says Kurvitz.

Kim is naturally shit at Motorics and thinks Harry is funny source

#THE GUY WHO SO MANY THOUGHT WAS THE MISSING MOTORICS BUILD IS BAD AT THEM #and thinks cop types are stupid <3 #the bajillion points in authority make even more sense. he probably has a lot of natural points in the purple skills? #(addition: so empathy too T_T !!!) #so this means he had to put a lot of points in composture on purpose. and had to learn how to sew and repair motorcarriages the hard way? #the interfacing learning cap is higher but he still had to put points in it to have more than 1 #his perception is abysmal and it stayed so #his hand/eye coordination is also bad. his shooting posture is horrible. I wonder how he got to 7/10 #I want to poke this nerd with a stick #disco elysium #release the kim character sheet now. what the hell is volta do mar I need to know #he must have volta do mar. h/e coordination. kinetic dressage #(and something related to authority) #first and last are red but it's a different shade than harry's red-pink physical skills #so they must have a different name. but h/e is yellow #maybe everyone has the 4 colors psy/phis/mot/int categories but they have different shades and names #<-all of this is from the official jacket they sell. it's in the description #ok no the color shades are just the website's fault. sad noise

Kokichisake-onna

*Happy anime narrator voice*: “And thus, Kokichi has once again successfully evaded the dread of emotional openness!”

Also here’s a random selection of derpy concept doodles for this comic :)

Thank you byeeeeee

#gonta gokuhara #gokuhara gonta #kokichi ouma #ouma kokichi #kokichi oma #featuring shuichi xD #ougoku #awwgoku #my art #I wanted to post it on ougoku day but work and migraines piled up on me and I really wanted to give this one the time it needs! #If you know the legend you know why Shuichi is panicking XDD #Look into Kokichi's eyeballs in panel 3 and see the sad hope against hope and yet! he still actively sabotages any comfort coming his way! #Is Gonta just kind or is his compassion a warped mix of compulsive fawning and misplaced empathy that keeps inviting menace into his life? #there's a secret sadness to this silly comic lmao and it's those poor sods' autopilots #I say laughing but by god do they need help #anyway enjoy! I might try posting more of Gonta ships I like - like this one; or with Shuichi; and some others 8D #btw I LOVE Gonta's scariest sprite - fantastic detail bc it does look like a snarl and ofc a wild child would imitate animal expressions! #and 2 out of 3 times he uses it he's actually NOT angry but hyped or frustrated - both cases also smth I appreciate for certain reasons #his actual 'serious angry' sprite is far more toned down in comparison

Okay I've had this project open for like. Way too long now and I've hit a brick wall with it but i still would like to share what I have so here's this idea I've been mulling around about the disco skills being court jesters. I only have the psyche skills done but hopefully soon I'll have the inspiration for the others and also fully color these. Enjoy

#its been sitting on my canvas for weeks. taunting me #i know the designs are simple but i intended tl add more details when i colored and. well #disco elysium #disco elysium art #disco elysium skills #de empathy #de volition #de espirit de corps #de suggestion #de inland empire #the furies #de skills #flew too close to the sun had too many expectations for the image in my brain #i think my problem is im afraid to stray too far from the source material specifically with the coloring #if i dont only use colors found on the cards i feel like im doing smthn wrong you get me #anyways teehee #wip #kinda

I really do fail to understand how people are able to justify this genocide at all even after 'claiming' to know the narratives of both the sides?

How can you remain neutral in face of mass murder?

All that privilege must be real nice. Getting to sleep in your beds, safe from this living hell, while justifying genocide must be real nice. Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!

And I'm sorry to the Palestinians. I'm sorry the world's humanity is conditional. I'm sorry that we have failed you.

#palestine #free palestine #genocide #someone literally argued with me about being blinded by Palestine's side of the story because I'm too emotionally invested #and I provided verified resources to support whatever I had posted #I literally did math and supported it with verified data to prove the quarter of a nuclear bomb claim #and I was enfuriated by the lack of empathy #I really am sorry that we have failed you #I am sorry that you have to prove everything even when you are the victim here #I'm sorry I cannot do more #auroras thoughts #free gaza #gaza strip #gazaunderattack #save gaza

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #I tried *so* hard to draw deflated wwx (per the reference to the garfield comic) but I could not get figure it out. #Yes lwj is straddling wwx. He's been shaking him this whole time. #LWJ has also been shaking. Like a nervous little dog. #What else is he to do when the love of his life collapses in front of him? #I also like to imagine that going through the nightmarish empathy showed on wwx's real body too. As in - he was thrashing about. #I am fond of my headcanon that wwx kicks and yells in his sleep and lwj is just getting a preview of it. #And oh my god. Am I ever a fan of accidental bonks (in fiction. I feel immense guilt for them in reality) #I'm really excited for several comics coming up. One in particular I have been building up to for *months*. #Sorry I've been mysteriously absent for a lot of November...I will do my best to be more consistent this December! #Thank you all for your support. Take care and stay healthy <3

Harrier DuBois is the funniest possible way to write an everyman videogame protag character. instead of being a humble, bland template to project yourself onto, he’s a deeply troubled person whos got so much fucked up shit going on you’ll probably relate to at least a few of his problems, or, barring that, you’ll feel bad enough for him to start empathizing anyways

#in the 21st century the most effective fictional everyman is someone who is so so so sad #idk if its really correct to call him an everyman per se but #i find it interesting how i constantly fluctuate between really relating to his struggles and feeling a deep disgusted sort of empathy #a second hand embarrassment so profound it turns into a kind of love #i mean there are plenty of moments where i have genuine distaste for him but thats more cuz hes a cop and stuff #(i got the 'sorry cop' archetype. the game could sense my dislike of police so strongly it made Harry sad lmao)

If I remember correctly you created Machete around 2007-2008. But when did you create Vasco? (I'm sorry of this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything)

First finished pictures of Vasco are from 2018, but even before that I had been thinking it would be interesting if Machete had had one (1) romantic relationship in his youth before he was ordained. I just didn't have a name and design for him yet.

In the earliest sketches of Vasco, he first looked a little bit like a bordercollie, then like a spaniel or a setter. He had a darker color palette as well, sort of chestnut brown with white markings, but combined with the overpowering whiteness of Machete he looked kind of impassionate and drab, so I kept making him warmer and lighter until he became the golden boy he is today. The name came later, I just thought Vasco sounded friendly and charismatic. (Also the old finnish word 'vaski' means brass and bronze, and even if it's a tedious connection and doesn't factor into their canon at all, it felt too fitting to me personally and I had to go with it).

#answered #anonymous #he was meant to be an absent character #one who appeared only in a couple of flashbacks or dreams #but the fact he used to be there and then wasn't was something that still influenced Machete #how he viewed love and other people and himself #Vasco wasn't supposed to show up again but he sort of elbowed himself back into the story and into a central position just last summer #really switched up things you could say #I originally imagined him to be more cocky and entitled and thrill seeking #but he mellowed out pretty instantly #I like him a lot better as a genuinely good and sincere person #maybe partially because you wouldn't expect someone that coddled and spoiled to have a sense of empathy and a working moral compass?

weird how people on this site talk about women with eating disorders as like people partaking in a cringy, problematic internet trend, and not people who are suffering one of the deadliest mental disorders due to a society that values thinness above all in women

#do not misunderstand me i’m not saying that ppl w eds r above scrutiny for their behaviors but um some of u r a bit insensitive n sexist #ppl on here seem to have much more empathy 4 like gym bros w disordered behavior than 4 anorexic women and it’s 🤨 #mikaelaposts
