#and is VERY conventionally attractive

[oh-katsuki]

something feels so wrong to me about making fun of sam smith’s performances. cracking jokes about the choreo, how they look doing the choreo, comparing their performances to mcdonald’s countdowns. when a lot of it... is the same shit so many other artists get praised for (harry styles being one of them). 

like... what’s this really about? because it sure as fuck isn’t about their actual vocal talent or their musical talent because y’all really seemed to LOOVEE their music when you couldn’t see them. 

is it actually about the “energy” of the performance? or the choreo? or is it maybe the fact that you’re made uncomfortable by the fact that after they took time off to recover, they look different from how they did before? is it maybe because you don’t like seeing people with body diversity be so comfortable in their skin, singing songs about sexual promiscuity, unless it fits your image of what is “acceptable” body diversity? 

is it really the choreo that you don’t like? the costumes? or is it maybe their entire existence in the spotlight as someone you deem to be “other”? 

#this is literally ALL over my social medias.. it's GROSS #sam smith's music.. as far as pop goes.. is good #it is the SAME genre as harry styles #with VERY similar concepts of costumes and sexuality #the only REAL difference (besides the fact that they are different artists) #is that harry styles fits the skinny.. eurocentric beauty standard for men #and is VERY conventionally attractive #whereas sam smith.. who is STILL attractive.. doesn't fit that mold quite as well since taking time off to recover #and that's OKAY #it is a GOOD THING that they're healthier now and trying to STAY healthy #y'all want to praise harry styles for doing the same shit... while knocking sam smith down... and your REASON for doing it is so PAINFULLY- #obvious #you are fucking transparent in your hatred of fat and bigger bodied people #i swear... this happens so often. skinny people will hide their blatant fatphobia behind middling excuses in an effort to- #protect the fact that they are made uncomfortable by bigger bodied people simply existing in the spotlight #like... let's not pretend the way people's opinions suddenly changed on the song unholy... and sam smith's tour #starting... are not related #like... come on. you are made of fucking glass. #and this isn't just with fat/bigger people (and im saying bigger because i do not think sam smith is fat. i think that he is literally just- #a middle size that y'all are CONVINCED is fat) #this happens with people of color too #happens with artists of color. happens with queer artists. #you are so fucking obvious when you do shit like this. when you say you support fat artists.. queer artists.. artists of color... and then- #turn around and make a joke out of their art while praising some dumb fuck... straight... conventionally attractive man for doing- #the same thing. #and NONE of this is to say you have to like sam smith's music #personally.. i don't really like that genre of music #but you know what im NOT doing? making of a mockery of the way they LOOK of all things while simultaneously- #praising another artist for the same shit they're made fun of for #anyway... im pressed abt this

Let us be brutally honest with ourselves and with eachother for a moment. If he weren't obese you motherfuckers would be capable of percieving evrart claires sexy sexy moral ambiguity and complex charms

#i am (lesbian) sipping him like a fine DESSERT WINE #my evidence by the way is very simple and very damning. joyce messier. there i said it. #if you guys can appreciate the fact that Joyce is a complex figure worthy of disgust yes but also worthy of empathy #despite being a venal coward facilitating acts of violence and slaughter of the organized working poor of martinaise in the name of capital #if you can understand that she is a dimensional figure while also being an embodiment of the moral apathy and cruelty if capital owners #but you cant look at evrart and see that he is (while deeply flawed and morally suspect) also a dimensional figure #on top of the fact that his motivations are eminently relatable and dare i say it baser #and his greatest failing imho is in failing to advocate for the interests of *all* the poor of martinaise #opting instead to marginalize the inhabitants of the fishing village in favor of a power grab in the interests of himself and his union #though this is imo a bit of a grey area morally. undeniably a wrong and bad thing to do but done in service of clairs political goals #to gather power to advocate for the working class against ultraliberal monoliths like wild pines and fascistic orgs like krenel #still super wrong but i can follow the moral arithmetic there tho i don't like it #but like my point is if u can see that joyce is evil and pathetic but still cool and sexy but you consider clair flatly distasteful #thats cus hes not conventionally attractive #cus he is *every bit* as dimensional and interesting as joyce and he is not nearly as politically shite even if hes interpersonally a jerk

Can we talk about how Derek obviously has a type because Spencer and Penelope are so similar.

#whether you see them as romantic or not #his closest most genuine friendships/relationships are with two people who are VERY similar #I just think it's cute #Because in theory youd think “oh big muscular jock whos a player” and you wouldnt associate him with them #but then you realize that his best friends are socially awkward nerds who hate any kind of physical exercise #and are very eccentric #and ill add “conventionally” attractive even though we all know thats bs because theyre both hot asf #I just think its so wholesome cause its like opposites attractive kind of thing #and hes just so open-minded and loving and the least judgemental person ever #cm #criminal minds #criminal minds meta #derek morgan #ssa derek morgan #spencer reid #ssa spencer reid #penelope garcia #moreid

#gothita #i definitely don't think the lips are Entirely necessary?? wish they didn't have to be like That at the very least #they take over the entire face‚ i feel like. this isn't goth #this is like. conventionally attractive rich lady with a purse lips #maybe i have no idea what goth is and the pokémon knows better than me. and the epitome of goth is red lipstick and a purple face #and done-up lashes with bright blue eyes. y'know

the fact that attractive people actually do constantly get free drinks, free food, free bus tickets, free entry to museums (yes this happened irl to a friend of mine), etc seriously makes me so angry. like the rest of us should get a stipend and i'm not kidding

#veesaysthings #via study abroad i recently became tangential to a friend group with a couple very conventionally attractive people and its EYE OPENING #like nobody ever buys me drinks but these girlies are getting whole PITCHERS of beer #gonna jump off a bridge fr. #and i even consider myself to be kinda cute but i'm not like heterosexual man buying me stuff cute. yknow

Tbh I think the Barbie movie handled its theme of existentialism better than the feminism.

#the feminism of the barbie movie is nothing new #its nothing you wouldnt have seen in a 2016 tumblr post #and in its efforts to platform the struggle of misogyny it unintentionally shrinks the issue of other forms of bigotry #like it IS about a cis conventionally attractive white woman and the prejudice that she applies to her #because shes a woman. so is not on the TOP of the privilege scale and is going to face bigotry as a result #like Greta Gerwig clearly wrote what she knew #and she didnt feel she was educated enough to touch any other topics #the mistreatment of women is a layered topic and it is a complex matter depending on the varied range of women in this world #queer women trans women women of colour #they dont all experience misogyny in the same way that Barbie does #so its definitely not a very rounded discussion #like even Gloria focuses entirely on the pressure of just women in general #like you can claim that shes speaking from her own experience but. its very mouthpiece-ish #her speech is for the purpose of whacking you over the head with the film's message #yknow i think the focus leans too heavily as ''look what we as girls have in common'' #but doesnt touch enough on ''but look how we differ too.'' a balance between those two concepts would have been nice #i feel like Sasha being like ''hell yeah white saviour barbie!'' was like a lazy acknowledgement that theyre AWARE of this issue #but like. theyre too deep into the script now #anyway yeah i was just thinking about this cuz of that gifset #Barbie feeling unsafe and being objectified in a public space #while Ken faces no issues whatsoever. even tho he is a loudly colourful flamboyantly dressed man on rollerskates #because we are going for a misogyny message here. so we need to poof homophobia out of existence for a bit okay?? #like this is basically what i mean. putting misogyny under the spotlight #and as a result quietly pretending other social disadvantages dont apply right now. bending reality to reinforce the message that we want #this isnt like. a scathing criticism on barbie btw. i dont have a film critic brain #im dumb and i love everything #also im really not the person whos qualified to talk about this #this is just some word vomit because i cant stop thinking about it #anyway i think the themes of what it means to be human and live and breathe fucked royally #i loved that stuff

You being multishipper doesn’t change the fact that you obviously have a preference and you try to push the agenda why your preference has less fans. You and your followers. Look how many times you used depth when comparing different ships here

I am guessing the tea didn't work! :(

Perhaps you didn't notice so I will give you a quick tutorial!

You will find this on the three lil dots on my blog!! Click it!! It will do wonders for you!! <33

#i analyze why i think my ships have less fans but i couldn't give less of a fuck 😭 #and besides the reasons i think why sanuso is underrated are directly tied to why i think usopp is underrated and tbh #if you don't agree on the FACT that usopp is underrated and would have more fans if he were conventionally attractive #then you're just deciding to ignore the obvious #but i am really happy with my sanuso mooties thank you very much <3 #and i DO have preference because i am ??? a real person with opinions ???? if you want me to just shut up just block me lmfaoo

[starrysharks]

every art critic, teacher or tutorial maker who tells you that your character designs must be conventionally attractive or appealing is a big fat liar

truly at the end of the day its all about receiving validation

#<- was having a lot of fun drawing fat william till he stopped to think about what other people might think #<- very important that people like him just as much as i do #<- incredibly important (i love him so much and his character is so much more nuanced than the fandom ever gives him credit for #and he already gets shat on way too often by people who don't understand what they're talking about) #truly the amount of hate based around him being a murderer is insane. Brother he's not a real life murderer. he's not going to #come out of the screen and hurt you #I NEED PEOPLE TO AT LEAST LIKE HIM A LITTLE BIT *bursts into tears* #and i need validation #and getting people to simp for him and think oh hes hot 😳 is one of the easier and more entertaining ways to get nice comments #what i lack in skill and talent i can make up for in character design and suggestive subtext right? #ugh #i dunno it feels like the only way to get people to say sometjing nice about my art sometimes #don't get me wrong i adore drawing him slutty but. ougggghhhhhh #hope it doesnt sound like im implying he's less attractive if hes fat personally i think hes hot as fuck #its mostly about stupid ass conventionally attractive shit #and also that people get bullied for portraying him fat... That too #anyways #im normal again now #toxi.txt

Normal about the fact that in rgu there's no blood shown in any scene no matter how severe the injury is except for the time Juri bit Ruka

#Normal about it #You know how everything in rgu is staged to be perfect? roses in every frame and everyone is conventionally attractive #And no one bleeds when they are hurt and the violence is all censored and sugarcoated as 'that's just the way things are' #Juri breaks those rules by not confirming to ohtori standards. She's beyond the reach of the narrative's censorship in a way #I hope this is comprehensible. I would appreciate hearing other people's takes on this #rgu #revolutionary girl utena #shoujo kakumei utena #juri arisugawa #very reliable posts

Bill's humanoid form, in the mindscape at least, is put together from pieces of what Ford subconsciously considers most attractive, mixed with Bill's personal aesthetic. He originally made it for manipulation purposes, since people are more likely to trust those who they find attractive (anglerfish know whats up). He doesn't like using it much but Ford's flustered reactions when he drapes himself over the nerd are absolutely adorable.

The key word as far as descriptions go is humanoid. From a distance it may look normal, but when you get closer it's very clearly not human. He gives off a strong uncanny valley vibe. If you ask Ford, it just looks exotic rather than creepy.

For Ford, the appeal is less that he looks like a human and more that he doesn’t look like a human, and it only serves to highlight how alien Bill really is. At first glance it’s all well and good, but the longer he looks the more clear it becomes that the form is only human in the same way that eyespots on a butterfly are eyes. He could just reach forward and peel off that illusion and Bill would be underneath with an amused crinkle in his eye, saying “if you wanted me to stay in this form, all you had to do was ask, Sixer.”

#billford #bill cipher #ford pines #human bill cipher #i dunno i just think things that are pretending to be human but in a way that you can tell they arent is neat #the uncanny aspect is from fords preferences btw #hes a monsterfucker through and through #bill was pleasantly surprised when the form he made with fords preferences didnt turn out as a conventionally attractive scantily-clad woman #but instead as a fucked up thing that looks almost human but very much isnt #only reason it looks human at all is bc bill decided that it would be better to take a somewhat-familiar form #rather than looking completely alien

i go absolutely wild for genderbends in the right context. certain kinds of genderbends make me extremely happy. but the issue is that i'm also very picky so i will look at like 99% of genderbends and get mad at them bc they suck and are bad. but that last 1% which are actually good........ unbeatable. y’know. so i continue dredging through the crap because occasionally i find a diamond in there................

#just saw a middle aged dumpy male character i like depicted as a skinny young conventionally attractive woman. absolutely distraught #i love seeing male characters depicted as women so much but you gotta do it RIGHT #not just take a generic doll base and slap some of the dude's features on there. no. #put some EFFORT into it #and for the love of god if a man is fat/older/etc then i don't see any reason why his female counterpart wouldn't also be those things #anyways on a lighter note #that one artist who makes the disco sapphics disco elysium au 100% gets it right #their stuff is so spot on it makes me very happy

wait wait wait hold on.... this magazine cover describes chick as hot.... and this cover came from mcqueen's daydream sequence.... MCQUEEN THINKS CHICK IS HOT (im literally grasping at straws)

I saw some posts about sister of sin art this morning and maybe it’s me being paranoid …cause I did just post some. t the SOS in the drawing is a friend from Mexico who asked for the drawing and it’s of her/what she looks like.

#idk I am probably being crazy #but it worries me a lot #because I don’t want to be contributing to thhose notions #the conventionally thin white attractive woman thing #I’m also not trying to be rude and of course that is a very valid and important criticism #I’m not trying to perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards #if anyone has ever felt my art is not inclusive they can tell me #diversity in art and the fandom is inportsnt to me
