#NOT ART

[snoobless]

55 years ago today, April 30th, 1968, Columbia University used police violence to attack and detain students protesting for civil rights. Today, April 30th, 2024, Columbia University used police violence to attack and detain students protesting against the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

I’m very frustrated with myself.

#im going to end up with a scabby unibrow #Ive plucked my eyebrows and the beginning roots of my eyebrows in front of every mirror in the house #not ALL of my eyebrows mind you I still have some sense of vanity #my brain is like hey it’s not healthy to spend the entirety of the day inside drawing #so it’s Compulsion Time™️ #its either that or picking my shoulders till I bleed #again #and again #dermatillomania #cw dermatillomania #not art

mhngm,.. love the defense franziska but can we talk about how miles just Killed A Guy.... how do you think that goes

he’s a child so he’s not charged at all. It was an accident

They don’t tell him he did it but not in the way to keep it from him, but in the way to protect him from that trauma when he was so young

He’s fine. Franziska doesn’t remember her father because she was very very young when he died, so it’s the best ending /silly

sorry if this is too harsh to ask. when ever the story leans over to the city cats, they mistreat others or lean on the evil/bad side (look at poor aldertail, lake, scorch, and smokeyrose :( ) the more I read this, the more I'm siding with the clan cats to wipe out all the city cats. that way there can be peace for everyone because I can't see how the city cats have any remorse in the clan cats eyes or yours

Wow. Okay.

Um, first things first, I will never be in support of Wiping Out any group of people. I get what you're trying to say but that's just not an ideology I can get behind. It is honestly a very dangerous and upsetting argument to make and hopefully, I can explain why.

Most of the city cats are not Evil. Most of the city cats are people who grew up in a corrupt system and have been taught to do bad things from a young age. Like Mystique for example: Has she hurt people? Yes. Does she seem resistant to change? Yes. Does this mean she is not worthy of compassion or a chance to grow and be better? Absolutely not!

I was raised Mormon. I know a lot of people, some who I love, who do bad things on the regular - people who voted for trump, people who support homophobic or imperialist policies, people who are hurtful to the marginalized people in their lives. I will NEVER believe that these people deserve to die for the way they are. They are just humans doing their best with the knowledge they were given and the baggage they've accrued.

I do think that there are cats, like Razor for instance, who need to be Stopped, certainly, and removed from positions of power. Unfortunately, cats don't have the ability to institute more systemic solutions to these kinds of problems so they will most often solve these problems by killing the cat. But this should only happen after it is clear that there is no opportunity for a non violent solution.

The world is complicated and messy and it means people are taught bad things and have trauma that makes them hurt other people. I'm not saying that those behaviors are okay. They should be held accountable for the harm that they do. But those behaviors do not make them irredeemable or Evil. Hell, I don't think there ARE Evil people! I don't think there are GOOD people! People can't be good or evil because they are always going to be making new choices. Some of those choices will hurt people, some of those choices will help people, some of those choices are entirely neutral. I believe you can judge people's actions but its impossible to judge their 'soul' so to speak.

There are a lot of cats in the city who do bad things because they see those things as normal or because the system rewards them for doing so. Do you think the Clans should kill all of those people?? Because I will never agree with you if you do and I urge you to rethink how you see the world.

Give me any city cat and I will be able to find a way to empathize with them. Yes, even Razor. They're all just people. And in my opinion, none of them deserve to die. They deserve to change and heal. And I think most of them will. I'm a death penalty abolitionist and that means I don't think ANYONE should be put to death. You don't get to selectively apply that kind of belief only to the people you think are 'good'.

Sorry for how long and rambling my response was. If anyone has follow up questions or comments, I'm open to discussing this further, just please remember to be kind and avoid any sort of harassment, and that goes both ways. Nobody harass this anon for what they said. I believe they are very misguided but that doesn't make them a bad person. If you think that then you've entirely missed the point of everything I said.

Okay so @witchkittymeow asked me to choose a fish for the Drawtectives so here's my take as the designated 'fish guy' of this corner of the drawtectives fandom.

York: Sockeye salmon or Oarfish

Rosé: Firefish or a pink Lophozozymus incisus or a loggerhead turtle

Grandma: Whale Shark or Catfish

Eugene: Phantom Jellyfish or Manta Ray

Jancy: grey conger eel or sturgeon

What does npr mean in the tags? Sorry if you've been asked this before! ^^

Np, I actually haven't! It stands for non-photorealistic.

Basically any 3D rendering style that isn't attempting realistic lighting, such as cell shading or shadeless like mine.

Does "narcissist abuse" exist?

Well, I'll try to think of this as unbiased as possible.

Narcissist and Abuser are not synonymous. Many narcissists make an effort to not harm others and have never been or are currently not abusers.

NPD is a disorder with different presentations and sufferers have differents traits and severities: some narcissists are aggressive and external; some are more internal; some may be concerned with being a good person; some may overcompensate for their narcissism; some may take out the issues of their disorder on others; some may have trouble self-reflecting and hurt others; some may never hurt anyone; some may know how to deal with their traits while others may not.

NPD is a disorder that impacts both the sufferer and the people around them. It is important to talk about the sufferer, but also to acknowledge that it affects others as well. Especially if someone is untreated and unaware of their disorder.

It can cause someone to hurt others if it is left unchecked, if they were taught to hurt others, if they are unaware of their behavior, if they lack self-control, or if they simply have no desire to be a good person.

An abuser with NPD's reasons and ways of abusing someone may be different, just as an abuser with autism's would...and an abuser with depression, an abuser with bipolar, an abuser with schizophrenia, or an abuser who is not mentally ill at all.

I have heard a story about a woman with schizophrenia who was convinced her children were possessed by the devil and tried to attack them. Does this mean everyone with schizophrenia is dangerous? No. Absolutely not. Did her disorder affect the way she treated others in a negative way? Yes, because it presented in this way, and she was completely unaware and untreated. She is a victim in the fact she was dealing with these delusions and this fear, just as her children were victims for having to deal with the way she acted. Again: someone being schizophrenic does not mean they will hurt you. If someone who is schizophrenic tries to hurt you, that isn't representative of everyone with schizophrenia. (Many people with schizophrenia do not try to harm people at all.)

I also heard about the difficulties of a child living with bipolar mother who treated her disorder with alcohol, causing her to accidentally harm her child in many ways. Obviously, her disorder and addiction are relevant in talking about the experience, but we all know people with bipolar disorder are not abusers just because they are bipolar; and addicts are not abusers just because they are addicts.

Abuse can be done on accident, especially if someone was raised around it or thinking it was okay, or if they have a disorder affecting how they see things. In some cases, explaining and trying to help people realize their behavior can work. In others, it won't; some people don't want to listen or get better. If thats the case, thats on them. But no matter what, abuse is a choice. It can be done without awareness; but it is still a choice.

Anyone can be an abuser, and the equation of one disorder with abuse is not only dehumanizing to the people with this disorder, but can actually hurt victims of abusers who aren't narcissists, or victims who are narcissists.

My point is that it can be relevant to say your abuser had NPD. But someone being an abuser doesn't mean they are a narcissist, and the NPD isn't what needs highlighted...its the abuse. Yes, you can say your abuser had NPD, I don't think it's wrong to make a space to discuss this with people who had a similar experience either.

Many people in my family are narcissists/narcissistic, and quite a few of them hurt people or have been abusive. So I won't deny that a lot of narcissists (especially ones who externalize their narcissism and who are completely untreated, also when they refuse to admit they have a problem) treat others badly. I also know some of them don't actually have bad intentions and that others do have (in a way) bad intentions. Some were raised to think it was okay. I also know of narcissists who internalize it, who are aware of their narcissism, who do their best to not hurt others, who are victims themselves.

NPD should be talked about from the perspective of people with NPD, but this doesn't mean people who dealt with abusive people with NPD can't talk about it. As I said, I had no problem with an article about an abusive mother who had bipolar disorder; it was relevant.

A lot of "narcissistic abuse" described is just abuse. A list of abusive behaviors doesn't need to say narcissist at the top. It is completely irrelevant. Say it if it is relevant.

---

TLDR; Your abuser being a narcissist can be relevant, and you can talk about it, narcissists can be abusers and their disorder can play a part in it. But not all narcissists are abusers, and "narcissist" is equated with abuser. This is why people do not like the term "narcissistic abuse." It, in a way, equates narcissism with abuse. "Narcissistic abuse" is as real as "autistic abuse" or "bipolar abuse."

Don't use narcissist as a word for abuser. Say it if it's relevant.

I have no problem with a subreddit, therapy group, or community for people who dealt with abusive narcissists, but I want people to not perpetuate a stigma.

I sympathize with those who were abused, but narcissism isn't abuse; abuse is abuse. Narcissism can play a part, but that is not what the abuse is, and that is not THE cause of the abuse.

Abuse is abuse, and anyone can abuse.

thinking ab venture flirting with you mid match, making you a flustered mess, but eventually you start doing it to eachother.

like just imagine you’re focusing realllyyyy hard, protecting the point or keeping the payload at bay, only for the little guy to give you a random peck on the cheek and smiling at you all smugly after.

“hehe, sorry baby! i couldn’t resist. hope that doesn’t distract you too much!”

and then the little shit CONTINUES to do it throughout the match. kissing u on the face every chance they can get, while muttering some flirty remark into your ear. and u keep getting distracted!! damnit!!!

eventually, you have enough of it, and decide to get a little bit of revenge for yourself. while you have the chance, you pull them into a seperate room while everyone on your team is fighting. pushing them against the wall by the collar of their shirt, you give them a deep kiss. they were tense for a second, but eventually they melt into the kiss. your soft lips against theres, their hand eventually wandering to your waist, while the other hand struggles to hold onto their drill. it felt as if everything else ceased to exist other than you two for a bit.

you eventually pull away from the kiss, leaving a red faced sloane to try and gather themselves. they had a big dorky smile on their face too, which made you giggle a little.

“hopefully that doesn’t distract you too much, hm cameron?” you playfully remark, before leaving one last kiss on the explorers cheek and running off back into the battle.

sloane watched as you ran off, trying their best to shake off the warm feeling on their face. “yeahh… i had that coming huh?” they muttered, a small smile on their face. they eventually followed suit, planning their own little come back in their head as they headed out back on the battlefield.
