yeah ok i get it you don’t think transandrophobia exists but you do realize that it’s still bad to be shitty to transmascs right? you get that right?

#like you don’t get to be transphobic just bc you say ‘well they’re men so men can’t be oppressed’ #as if if there is never any intersection of identities that includes being a man #like first think of gay/bi men they experience a different kind of oppression than queer women do and it would be idiotic to argue that #them being men has NOTHING to do with the oppression they face #and then there’s black and brown men who are constantly painted as scary and violent in news and media and are disproportionately killed #by police officers #and you’re telling me that has NOTHING to do with how their identities intersect between being a POC and a man. ok #it makes no sense to me because look #obviously we live under the patriarchy which systematically oppressed women as well as anyone who deviates from #the cisheteronormative white masculine ideals and i’m by no means trying to say that ‘men have it harder’ #it just seems a bit ingenuine to argue that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN A MAN FACE OPPRESSION DUE TO THE INTERSECTION OF ANOTHER #MARGINALIZED IDENTITY #transandrophobia #transgender #transmasc #trans masc #trans man #transphobia

LITTLE NIGHTS FANS WAKE UP!!! THE LADIES HAVE FINALLY BEEN HARVESTED!!

Courtesy of my friend Gaboul, go check her out on twitter!!! She did an amazing job extracting the models and reapplying the textures... sadly these are not 100% accurate as she explained to me that additional details (such as Tengu's very evident runny makeup and the large stain on Teapot's back) are added later on as additional layers. Here they are still visible, just not as evident as they'd be in the game!!

#little nightmares #little nightmares 2 #data mining #the lady #little nightmares the lady #ln the lady #the lady ln #six #ln six #six little nightmares #little nightmares six #six ln #fox #tengu #scarecrow #teapot #{tengu and fox having the same face is twice as haunting if you consider how much different the lighting makes it look #fox is constantly under the light so you cant really see it #but with tengu its a lot more prominent and its crazy. i was not wrong about her trying to imitate her predecessor and failing #good lird these women will be the end of me #i kiss all their foreheads}

“There’s plenty of fish in the sea”

Well maybe I’m not a fish.

Maybe this entire world you live in where you find partners to love openly and freely and it’s normal and natural is an environment where I drown.

Maybe this thing you call love can take forms you’ve never considered. Forests. Tundras. Deserts. Mountains. Stars. Maybe I need a wider view than the swift beat of waves can afford. Maybe I need slower seasons to acclimate my emotions.

No, I don’t know what my love will look like. I’ve only ever been around fish. I don’t have the words to describe what I’m longing for. But it’s certainly not in the water.

#every time I talk about my sexuality I feel like a fish out of water #then I realized I don’t have gills #what does that make me? #I used a lot of labels trying to figure this out #asexual #demisexual #aromantic #demi rose #aspec #and all of them feel nice like a warm blanket #until it gets too tight and I have to stick my foot out #I know no label has to be 100% forever #nor should they be #but hell do I want a community that understands me #a place I don’t have to explain my differences constantly #I want a partner that’s like me #where will I find him? #cuz we ain’t fish #bjurnberg

the fact that fitz more or less stops aging after tawny man. like. everyone else gets to grow old and move on, but fitz remains literally, physically stuck in the past. he tries to hide it with a beard and lets himself go out of shape a bit, but ultimately he does not really age or change during that time. just like despite pretending to be all fine and happy, he can not truly bring himself to move on from the fool.

#like yeah lore-wise he doesn't age because of the skill healing #but thematically (to me at least) its about him being stuck in the past and refusing to let go #especially considering that the other major character who actively prolongs his age with skill healing is chade #who is constantly trying to make up for all the time he lost after faking his death and hiding in the walls #the difference is that chade actively longs for it and acts younger than he is #while fitz (as always) tries to pretend it isn't happening #rote #fitz and the fool spoilers #fitz and the fool #realm of the elderlings #rote spoilers

I was enamored with Astrologian from the second I picked it up-- the aesthetic, the play style, and the pretty outfits, of course.

thinking about how wind waker link’s first adventure had him controlling the winds to get around, it being his biggest strength in braving and traversing the seas, and in his next adventure he finds himself on a ship that does not at all require the wind for anything

#idk. like. even if link had the wind waker in ph. it would kinda be totally useless #just some thoughts #loz #legend of zelda #link #wind waker #phantom hourglass #i have yet to play wind waker properly but i think a lot about the differences between ww and ph #in terms of links experiences. like in ph realistically he has little control in where they go. its not his ship #he marks the path and mans the cannon but thats all he likely knows how to do #and hes only allowed to manually steer one time as far as we can see #idk. thoughts. i got ph on the mind and made this connection earlier idk if its anything #i like the idea of his ph adventure being a massive change insofar as… hes not some hero of courage he was just there in time #if that makes sense? ik he doesnt have the spirit of the hero of w/e and hes not specifically chosen #but its scaled back a lot in ph anyone technically couldve stepped up and did what link does #hes not alone he constantly has a fairy tagging along hes got a larger group of constant companions #idk what im trying to get at. maybe im brainstorming link ideas #salty talks #maybe the idea of link kind of wanting to feel needed after ww. if that makes sense. hes afraid of being useless to someone #something like that. he doesnt really want to go back to just being the kid the gods didnt pick bc he feels like. #hm. playing the hero in ww made him feel needed but it also terrified him and that feeling of being needed helped him combat that terror

Looney tunes au where bugs is a trickster fae spirit that Daffy and Porky made the mistake of inviting into their home

#Porky thinks he's a demon and tries to exercise him #Daffy is infatuated #Y'know the usual #ro talks #Looney tunes #bugs bunny #daffy duck #Porky pig #Ultimately this leads to #Baffy #Because of coarse it does #Bugs is constantly trying to find out Daffy's full name #But hes constantly giving him different answers to piss him off #Bugs being a fae is regular cannon actually makes so much fucking sense

I do love the netflix avatar in my own way because it provides me with enrichment in the same way brain puzzles do for chimps. Like something is WRONG here and it's your very special job to figure out why! And then you will get juice reward!!

#its been making me think about the cartoon a lot lately for the sake of comparing and contrasting #so thats great #it was a very good cartoon #i do actually think that its stupid to complain about how its objectively bad when an adaption makes changes to the original #because that SHOULD be the point of an adaption. to try things in a new way and somehow improve on the story #but i think its funny how this show is constantly like ''we're gonna take a DIFFERENT route with this character'' #and then the DIFFERENT ROUTE leads to them driving the car off a cliff #we will not get to our destination this way bestie #out of all the changes theyve made to the original i think the most misguided and overall dogshit is how theyre portraying Azula #it annoying when people say ''theyre ACTUALLY writing her as a victim of her father's abuse this this'' #''shes ACTUALLY sympathetic this time'' #girl i hate it here #netflix show is a COWARD for showing Azula this way in season 1 #not that its not somewhat in character. if ozai started playing mindgames with her she probably would start spiraling like this #the problem is that we shouldnt be SEEING IT!! #avatar is regarded as Baby's First Media Analysis for a lot of people #and boy oh boy there was a lot of analytic meat to Azula's character #but the netflix version? this is a skeleton!! bones!!! #like obviously if you were watching the cartoon as an adult it would be immediately apparent #that this 14 yo girl acting not only like a grown woman but a calm calculated genocidal tyrant is very concerning #and it makes her sympathetic by defualt on the grounds of being a child #but a kid isnt going to realize that!! Azula is supposed to be polarizing!! #youre meant to buy into the narrative that everything is easy for her. that no effort troubles her mind #her unflappable nature is meant to unsettle you. intimidate you. she has no weaknesses shes unstoppable and shes pure evil #as a kid who is still learning how to think deeply about things thats how youre to perceive her #and then. AND THEN!! then the show pulls the rug out from under you and makes you question everything #Azula's gradually unraveling sanity in book 3 is jarring and unnatural and it forces you to challenge your own opinion of her #you become uncomfortably aware that shes a victim too. after all this time youve spent hating her #just like zuko. just like the fire family child that you had already come to realize was ''actually good'' #after that first watch its hard to decide how you feel about her. as a kid anyway. but its sad. its all so very sad

Oh oh I've got an idea for a poll, here's one for the dub enjoyers

If you are going to be mean about the dubs in general just simply don't do that

#realized while making this that i havent heard the sevens theme at all yet and had to look it up. i am not seeing any different titles #between the dub and the sub so. its just that i guess #the fact that dm and vrains didnt even Try to give theirs unique names is funny to me. theyre just <insert show name> theme. #yugioh #yugioh dm #yugioh gx #yugioh 5ds #yugioh zexal #yugioh arc v #yugioh vrains #yugioh sevens #poll #also. i constantly think that halfway to forever is actually called pathway to forever because thats what i heard the first time #i listened to that opening #i can never remember which one is right 😭 had to double check for the sake of the poll

#UAUHGG im havung oc thoughts. plaguing myBRAIN. i can feel my heartrate spiking holy shit #ok so. i rly wanna touch up presto and shuffles story without scaring myself out of it by overthinking it. esp the implications of #them having animal features and what they would eat. as well as worldbuilding character dynamics setting background characters ugghh. #constantly have to tell myself its just for fun. basically theyre rival magicians who keep their identities secret and fuck it up in #the funniest way possible LMAO. they rent the same apartment and the landlady accidentally gives it to both of them without them knowing #so they end up walking in on each other out of costume and have this weird tension around not revealing each others identities despite thei #borderline malicious rivalry. blackmail may or may not be involved i havent decided yet #they DO consider backing out of tenancy but they decide not to so they can make sure they dont reveal each others identities #thats the idea but its really abstract bc i dont have a direction or writing in mind. they just rattle in my head like spare change #other stuff i have rn is. they both consider each other a copycat and they have the same skill level of magic #but they have different styles and techniques theyre just too focused on outperforming each other to notice #presto likes to make people laugh so they probably include gags and impossible feats. shuffle is more elegant and focuses on #smooth movements and dangerous stunts. i want to make that reflect in their costumes but its hard bc stage magician costumes tend to stick #to suits and capes.. so idk. then maybe side characters like the landlady and other tenants but i havent given em much thought orz #i really should practice with concepts because i have a bad habit of making everything similar to the first try so its frustrating #and i suck at writing characters. but im doing this for fun so im trying not to get hung up on whether its generic or not #yapping #stares at the floor. maybe i should make a carrd for my ocs #oc talk #presto #shuffle

a little zine thing ive been working on about the struggle to find your voice and improve as an artist

i was planning to add another couple pages but its been a few weeks since i last worked on it, so i wanted to just throw it out there as is. maybe ill come back to it to make some additions another time

#furry #artists on tumblr #artwork #zine #multimedia #my art #its about never feeling like i can catch up to the people around me in skill level/art quality #and feeling like im constantly chasing an ambiguous idea of improvement and growth as an artist #making things tht im proud of but at the same time being very conscious of the gap between what i make and the art of other people around m #that i like or look up to #when will i feel that my art has reached the point where its worth something? #when will i reach the point where people are interested in it or where i think its good enough to be worth selling? #what quality or level of skill makes the difference? where is the tipping point that determines it? #i dont think ill ever know or even that its something thats knowable at all in the first place but for now ill keep doing my thing i guess #i wanted to do it collage bc i like collage and also i felt it lended to the idea of trying to use the work of others as a jumping off poin #or frame of reference

. . . i'm too aro for this

#i saw someone talk about “obvious” romantic tension between phoenix/maya and athena/simon #and that the average cishet normie consumer would assume they were implied romantic #and i sat there for a full minute trying to process that #because literally all i got from these pairings was big sibling energy #and i realize everyone reads that differently but. #the level of being annoying and being annoyed between maya and phoenix.... #and the whole “i gotta be a big sister” and the whole. maya is mia's little sister so by extention kind of also #taken under phoenix's wing after mia's death #the way they constantly joke about maya being childish bc she likes steel samurai (she isn't. edgeworth also likes it #he's just too stuck up to admit it. also liking “childish” things doesnt make u childish but i digress) #but anyway the joke abt maya being childish vs phoenix being grown up #furthering the perception of the difference between them and maya as a sort of younger sibling figure #and then athena and simon.... #simon literally having been her babysitter somewhat. having played with her when she was younger #and when the Mom Murder Incident happened he cared for her and got her out of there #and took on the blame “for her” ..... #all of that screams older brother to me the way he carried her away from the scene. she was just a child #IDK IS IT REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE OBVIOUSLY ROMANTICALLY IMPLIED????????? #WHAT...... #i KNOW there are people who ship phoenix and maya or athena and simon and that's fine #but to me they were OBVIOUSLY sibling coded instead of OBVIOUSLY romance coded #😭😭😭 #help meeeee #cas.txt #i cant tell if the post i saw was an outlier and tinted by Fandom Perception #or if that's like. a big general consensus and i just don't see it bc i curate my online experience #bc it could go either way. i can see it being an outlier that found its way onto my dash #but i could also see it as a bigger agreed upon thing that just never crossed my dash bc i only interact with sibling content 😭 #either way it baffled me
