#but this applies to so much shit

[gay-jewish-bucky]

it's just interesting that hollywood consistently erases real and fictional jews but when it comes to telling our history will just fully invent jewish characters, ignoring the real jews who were actually involved, and cast gentiles to play them

#jumblr #jewish #judaism #this is about a bunch of things #antisemitism #tw antisemitism #antisemitism tw #some i wont name bc i dont want to get people being weird in my inbox #but i think a lot of people know one specific movie im thinking of #but this applies to so much shit #does blonde even mention her conversion? probably not #and yet not a peep #when i think about the word peep it's always in a really weird intonation lmao #im off topic

Nah, you know what makes my blood boil?

Seeing characters degraded, vilified, and desecrated in the name of ship wars.

No, Aang did not strip Katara of her agency nor did he only accept the "digestible" parts of her, leave my baby alone.

No, Zuko isn't just a selfish colonizer, bro did not have one of the greatest arcs of all time for you to reduce him to that.

No, Katara wasn't just a mother to everyone, for fuck's sake, did we watch the same show?

I can go on and on and fucking on, but all I'm gonna say is I'm fucking tired of y'all's shipping discourse.

It was never that serious, it will never be that serious.

I think that both Zutara and Kataang are great ships in their own right, with their respective pros and cons. I also think it comes down to personal taste.

Of course, people can have differing opinions on characters, regardless of the inclusion of ships or not. But at the very least, stick to your own.

Ship and let ship. Remember when this was fun?

Don't invade spaces that aren't yours to start trouble, and stay appropriate with the tags. Fandom etiquette, it's pretty neat.

Y'all suck the joy out of everything.

#the way i can apply this to half of the ships amd characters i like #ive seen things #ive seen some crazy shit #heard some wild takes #take a chill pill #and sit your asses down #kataang #aang #zuko #atla #shipping wars #shipping discourse #fandom etiquette #this applies to every ship btw it just so happens that i stumbled upon yet another kataang vs zutara ordeal and im fed up #ruining it for the rest of us #i get it and i do think the passion is beautiful and a show of how many emotions and how much love these characters still make us feel #but hot damn enough is enough

hi friends!

I somehow magically landed 2 job interviews this week (literally both places called today) but only downside is both aren’t in my city!

if anyone is willing/able to purchase content or tip so I can secure gas money for these interviews I would be so extremely thankful😭🙏🏻

it’s not really a secret that I’ve been struggling financially with the hour cuts at my current job and I’m working so hard to get out of there (for my literal sanity) so anything in general is beyond helpful cause a bitch is drowning honestly.

much appreciated🥹

#like it’s at the point I’m applying in other cities cause I’m that desperate for a new environment and more pay #this place has been wearing me down both mentally and physically #I know it’s no one else’s issue and so much shit has been going down this year but truly until I can secure a job that is paying me more #I have my hands tied

“There is no me.”

The way my jaw dropped. I was stunned. STUNNED.

#bucky barnes #I’m gonna have feelings about that scene for the rest of the week #there’s so much to unpack there holy shit #it’s the way that it goes beyond Howard and Bucky’s convo bc everything being said between Hank and Peter applied to Bucky too

Whatever skills or knowledge you think is "universal" absolutely isn't, and when you understand this, you can understand deeper how people experience the world. There are so many things that are deemed "common knowledge" that just aren't to some people.

Maybe you think it's common knowledge to know how to eat, for example. But it isn't common knowledge for me; I don't know how to eat because of my disabilities and because of my history. I can physically eat, yes, but the knowledge of how and when is something I never learned. I can absolutely learn, sure, but it is a time and energy investment, which is why I hadn't done so before.

What would help me more: being belittled and demeaned because I don't "know" something like a normal person would or being educated in an understanding way? Now, apply this to other people who struggle with things you think are "fool-proof," and you will start to understand how people operate when they aren't "normal"

#disability #disability advocacy #food mention tw #disordered eating tw #this isn't solely a disability thing but the venn diagram often overlaps when 'common knowledge' is the topic #this applies to hygiene and 'basic' math/language/ect. and how things work and so many other things #i used myself as an example because i have felt so much needless shame for not knowing 'basic' shit as a result of trauma and disability #and it's just. pointless cruelty. like the cruelty is the point sure but like. why. why kick somebody who is down

Tyler: Did you know that atoms never touch each other?

Tyler: and since we're made of atoms, we've never touched anything in our entire lives.

Tyler: So to answer your question Sheriff, No, I did not wreck Xavier's mural.

On one hand i like the idea of westerners enjoying bollywood film on the other hand if any of them were to gain enough traction to get a fandom on tumblr, i just KNOW White American/European stannies would remove every single cultural context and sanitize/bash/flanderize them in ways you can not even comprehend

#They would have done unspeakable things to every single SRK character and Aamir Khan film #'3 idiots was cLeArLy an LGBT+ film for- #*insert reasons that can not be applied to an Indian setting film cuz of sheer cultural differences n comes from VERY West centric pov* #What do you mean 3 idiots is a commentary on failings of Indian academia that puts so much pressure and expectations on its students?? #Just say you are a homophobe and go 🙄🙄🙄🙄' #bollywood #3 idiots #shahrukh khan #aamir khan #desiblr #desi tumblr #desi tag #desi shit posting #desi #new tag game- put a bollywood film in the tags and describe how much an hypothetical fandom will completely miss the mark

Zoro 🐯 Process:

Commentary below:

Notes:

One of the first attempts at sculpting the boy; the head was later altered quite a bit and the legs entirely scrapped, and the torso bulked up shaking my shoulders feverishly: we need to properly represent his 110 cm bust and what we have isn't cutting it. Scabbards were made (which survived till the end!) and the original clay swords were made by this point.

New torso and legs give (hallelujah), as well as the loops and holes for the ears (such finicky small work, fuck me) were made. Holes were first made with straight wire and dried before the hoops were gently (and with swearing) inserted through.

Clothes added, also with swearing as the clay dried and stiffened faster then I wanted to and made it hard to get nice folds. Scarf was re-made and smoothed later.

Scabbards added! Immediately drops it and breaks a piece of it off. I've glued multiple bits of the scabbards back on the flimsy bastards. He remained armless for a good while. A Venus on the shelf by my desk...

Because the clay sword (after a good hour of tender focused work) would IMMEDIATELY would break upon the lightest touch, annoying me to no end, one evening was like God I wish I had actual metal to use instead wouldn't that be cool, and then was like OH! I COULD DO THAT! So the metal is actually cut from the tin of a cat food can, straightened and sanded., as seen in photo!

The blades hilted, before placed in capable hands

ARMS! and the sculpting is finished. Onto painting!

First layers of paint on various parts; I generally paint via colours I'm using at the moment (ie, greens in this instance)

More layers laid down. I generally go for shading in rules of three (main colour, lighter, and darker hues) and apply them at different opacity of acrylic. Adjusted the green since I found it too pungent. Once the fur tones were finished I gave him his stripes (cue me searching up loads of photos of tigers and tiger fursonas to see how people have done the stripes. Did you know depending on the area they are from they have different face shapes and stripe patterns? Fascinating stuff)

Finished project! Last layers, and highlights where added, adjusted the eye and fuck-ups re-adjusted. Dropped and had to reglue things. The gold is actual gold leaf I applied using a glue you paint on but that was a bit of a whole mess and took a long time, and doesn't go on very flat on very not-flat surfaces... (Who would have thought...) In the future may instead use gold paints for metallics.

Here's also the link to the post of more photos of him finished!

not even gonna tag this properly bc i don't wanna get Involved but i do have some Thoughts i need to get out into the void so here we go

(aaa quick edit: CW for mention/discussion of Boothill leaks)

#today's gone Badly and i'm upset but instead of venting abt it i'm gonna channel that energy into doing a bit of tag rambling abt Boothill #well. less abt Him and more abt uh. self-analyzing my anxiety surrounding contributing to fandoms. he's just today's catalyst #like. i know it's mostly a me thing. i'm hypersensitive to criticism and very conflict avoidant + socially anxious + perfectionistic etc. #so I'm the one that keeps myself from posting more stuff out of fear of being criticized or called-out for what i've made #bc inevitably Someone's gonna see it and think its OOC or a problematic take or they'll misread my intent. etc etc what have you #but like. that's inevitable. there's no way to communicate every single thing with all of the nuance required to avoid misunderstandings #and other times it's not a misunderstanding it's just a difference of opinions and that's Fine!! there's no accounting for personal taste #there's no accounting for several things actually. taste‚ bias‚ lore-knowledge‚ differing levels of chronic-online-ness‚ etc #so this isn't me complaining abt the state of fandom culture (although i do think. sometimes. ppl take shit a bit too seriously) #but anyways all of this is mostly just anxiety-fueled. it's not like i very often actually even receive negative feedback or anything #if anything ppl tend to tell me that i'm overthinking it and killing my own fun and worried that my stuff is more OOC than it is #which like. yeah. Yeah u right :) but that's just the way that i am! always losing the idgaf war i suppose #anyways what's Boothill got to do w this ur wondering. well. i've been thinking abt the quickly emerging concept that he's illiterate. #and it just. has me feeling a lot of ways. and watching ppl disagree over it has me feeling some Bad ways. bc it's def a loaded topic! #if you'll pardon the pun there. and i don't rlly have anything new to add other than that i'm conflicted abt it. #like yeah i saw the leaks days ago. of him mentioning 'not hitting the books' much as a child when we ask him why he sends voice messages #or voice Transcriptions ig. ykwim. and like. *braces for impact* ...i liked it? like. it doesn't feel right to call it endearing #i'm not trying to infantilize him. ok that's not the right word either but ugh. you know? what i mean?? who am i kidding even i don't know #it's not quite right to say that it feels like Representation either. but it's something close i guess #as a southern person myself who didn't receive a 'complete' education due to factors that weren't to do with my intelligence #the concept of seeing him as a capable force to be reckoned with and respected who also happens to have not received much formal education #i like that. i do. but there's so many issues w it at the same time. like. as i said‚ being southern myself has me Wary of the way Hoyo is- #writing him. as well as of the way that the fandom is taking the bits of his lore and running away w them. and i'm Very aware of how ppl- #will see a southern character and be All Too Eager to agree that they're lacking intelligence based on our Redneck™ stereotype #sigh. and before we even go too far with this. it's not even confirmed that hes completely illiterate. which is a valid criticism i've seen #there's Multiple reasons that could make him prefer voice to text. but regardless. i'm just worried that ppl will misconstrue my intentions #like. example: that edit i made the other day of him saying 'no thanks i can't read'. wasn't me playing into the stereotype of- #'haha dumb country boy can't read!' it was. in my eyes. something he'd say as a joke to make light of a potential insecurity #like. i think there's far more depth to Boothill's character if ppl could look past the surface. and i dont wanna contribute to the problem #but sometimes ppl Will have stereotypical traits and i wish the same could apply to characters as long as it's done Thoughtfully.
