Sure, Tony Stark is a hero and entertaining and I enjoy him well enough, but his motivations more often than not boil down to being self centered and selfish (and the movies don't highlight that nearly enough, which naturally makes me care more than I actually do)

#examples yay #cw and the accords #my man just wants to erase his own guilt #start of endgame #my man was perfectly fine with his new perfect family and leaving the world as is #and finally decided to help cuz he was feeling guilty over peter's death #tony was a selfish bastard all the way to the end #wherein the last thing he ever did was finally completely altruistic #and then there's the bunch of small stuff #how many people can i piss of with one post #anti tony stark #i do actually like tony tho i promise #prove me wrong and i'll delete this but

still no new heta art, sorry OTL but I was reminiscing to find inspiration and made this?? So if you ever feel silly about drawing the same fictional character over and over again remember me beeing stuck with this dude for the past uh... 13 years

#long post #mushy screenshots yay! #I feel like this is a good example on how art progress isn't linear haha #those weren't even all the times I drew him but I got tired making screenshots #it's supposed to be in chronological order if I didn't accidentaly switched one or two drawings that is

evolution of starsaints kiddos. first was from around 2021 . i wanted to give them a greater difference in color pallete and shape. my least favourite iteration of them is the 2nd because i can't get over the fact that they literally look identical, my same face syndrome was terminal back then

#also the info in the first image is HIGHLY INACCURATE!!!! it is from 2021 it isnt true anymore #anyway um. i finally decided on the opening of this game which means that i'll probably be able to start writing for it eventually #there is so much stuff and like 8 ish designs that are done but i havent shown and WON'T >:] #but ya. these guys are my prime examples for my design tactic of basically ripping off your inspos in ur first pass #like just look at their first designs theyre basically recolors of some of the wec kids #and now theyre actual characters !!! yay !!!! #starsaints carnival

Hey Rein so I've been racking my head with this for a long time, if magic doesn't exist, how does shapeshifting work? Including clothes and prosthetic limbs?

hooooo boy that really is the question isn’t it

I’m gonna be fully honest I don’t have a straight answer for this LOL a lot of it bases itself on “rule of cool” stuff and a lot of me on my hands and knees begging for suspension of disbelief for the sake of sanity. That being said 👀 take some shaky nonsensical answers under the cut that may change in the future haha

For shapeshifting itself, as is faintly talked about in chapter one, it’s not an exact science that anyone has narrowed down. The most prestigious and powerful company in Avalon can only offer a temporary piece of tech that pretty much narrows down to ‘sensing’ a change or, in the most simple terms, getting bigger/scales forming = shock to the neck. Dog collar rules. Even the prevailing theory on dragonshifter kind’s existence is built on very shaky ground, and THAT is intentional. It’s a transformation that can be compared to other things, like animal metamorphosis for example, but never replicated exactly.

Same sort of for clothes and prosthetics, but narrows down to more of a simple idea, which is that anything a person is wearing is “stored” on their human form, in a sense. The scales kinda overlap it and some wild in-betweens happen to get us to now. It works like a temporary state that is pulled inwards and pocketed for a time. This doesn’t count for bags or items, though, and something has to be really worn for it to be integrated.

I’ve mentioned in an ask before too that prosthetics and specifically technology for them has improved significantly in this world, that includes the science regarding the dragon form recognizing the difference between what is shifted and what is not. The biggest hurtle was getting this form to accept a prosthetic as a replacement limb and not a type of unnecessary clothing, which has led to some pretty revolutionary but rather intense forms of prosthetics, which are more screwed onto the body than they are socketed on. Makes the limb much more resilient though, and it’s just up to the technology itself to form that shifted limb instead of the body afterwards.

Basically: anything not buckled down and pieced into the body isn’t getting shifted.

#asks #s&s: info #this is kindaaa long #but not long enough to me to bother with a readmore lol #anyways!! worldbuilding!! yay #I’ll be touching on the finer details/examples in the story #but gonna be fully honest I’m keeping it vauge on purpose #hope it’s not confusing though!

i have once more Read a Book !

the book was jim morris' cancer factory: industrial chemicals, corporate deception, & the hidden deaths of american workers. this book! is very good! it is primarily about the bladder cancer outbreak associated with the goodyear plant in niagara falls, new york, & which was caused by a chemical called orthotoluedine. goodyear itself is shielded by new york's workers' comp law from any real liability for these exposures & occupational illnesses; instead, a lot of the information that morris relies on comes from suits against dupont, which manufactured the orthotoluedine that goodyear used, & despite clear internal awareness of its carcinogenicity, did not inform its clients, who then failed to protect their workers. fuck dupont! morris also points out that goodyear manufactured polyvinyl chloride (PVC) at that plant, and, along with other PVC manufacturers, colluded to hide the cancer-causing effects of vinyl chloride, a primary ingredient in PVC & the chemical spilled in east palestine, ohio in 2023. the book also discusses other chemical threats to american workers, including, and this was exciting for me personally, silica; it mentions the hawks nest tunnel disaster (widely forgotten now despite being influential in the 30s, and, by some measures, the deadliest industrial disaster in US history) & spends some time on the outbreak of severe silicosis among southern california countertop fabricators, associated with high-silica 'engineered stone' or 'quartz' countertops. i shrieked about that, the coverage is really good although the treatment of hawks nest was very brief & neglected the racial dynamic at play (the workers exposed to silica at hawks nest were primarily migrant black workers from the deep south).

cancer factory spends a lot of time on the regulatory apparatus in place to respond to chemical threats in the workplace, & thoroughly lays out how inadequate they are. OSHA is responsible for setting exposure standards for workplace chemicals, but they have standards for only a tiny fraction—less than one percent!—of chemicals used in american industry, and issue standards extremely slowly. the two major issues it faces, outside of its pathetically tiny budget, are 1) the standard for demonstrating harm for workers is higher than it is for the general public, a problem substantially worsened during the reagan administration but not created by it, and 2) OSHA is obliged to regulate each individual chemical separately, rather than by functional groups, which, if you know anything at all about organic chemistry, is nonsensical on its face. morris spends a good amount of time on the tenure of eula bingham as the head of OSHA during the carter administration; she was the first woman to head the organization & made a lot of reasonable reforms (a cotton dust standard for textile workers!), but could not get a general chemical standard, allowing OSHA to regulate chemicals in blocks instead of individually, through, & then of course much of her good work was undone by reagan appointees.

the part of the book that made me most uncomfortable was morris' attempt to include birth defects in his analysis. i don't especially love the term 'birth defect'—it feels cruel & seems to me to openly devalue disabled people's lives, no?—but i did appreciate attention to women's experiences in the workplace, and i think workplace chemical exposure is an underdiscussed part of reproductive justice. cancer factory mentions women lead workers who were forced to undergo tubal ligations to retain their employment, supposedly because lead is a teratogen. morris points at workers in silicon valley's electronics industry; workers, most of them women, who made those early transistors were exposed to horrifying amounts of lead, benzene, and dangerous solvents, often with disabling effects for their children.

morris points out again & again that we only know that there was an outbreak of bladder cancer & that it should be associated with o-toluedine because the goodyear plant workers were organized with the oil, chemical, & atomic workers (OCAW; now part of united steelworkers), and the union pursued NIOSH investigation and advocated for improved safety and monitoring for employees, present & former. even so, 78 workers got bladder cancer, 3 died of angiosarcoma, and goodyear workers' families experienced bladder cancer and miscarriage as a result of secondary exposure. i kept thinking about unorganized workers in the deep south, cancer alley in louisiana, miners & refinery workers; we don't have meaningful safety enforcement or monitoring for many of these workers. we simply do not know how many of them have been sickened & killed by their employers. there is no political will among people with power to count & prevent these deaths. labor protections for workers are better under the biden administration than the trump administration, but biden's last proposed budget leaves OSHA with a functional budget cut after inflation, and there is no federal heat safety standard for indoor workers. the best we get is marginal improvement, & workers die. i know you know! but it's too big to hold all the same.

anyway it's a good book, it's wide-ranging & interested in a lot of experiences of work in america, & morris presents an intimate (sometimes painfully so!) portrait of workers who were harmed by goodyear & dupont. would recommend

#if anyone knows about scholarship that addresses workplace chemical exposure #& children born with disabilities through a disability justice lens please recommend it to me! #booksbooksbooks #have reached the point in my Being Weird About Occupational Safety era where i cheered when familiar names came up #yay irving j. selikoff champion of workers exposed to asbestos! yay labor historians alan derickson & gerald markowitz! #morris points out the tension between workers - who want engineering controls of hazards (eg enclosed reactors) #& employers who want workers to wear cumbersome PPE #the PPE approach is cheaper & makes it even easier to lean on the old 'the worker was careless' canard when occupational disease occurs #i just cannot stop thinking about it in relation to covid. my florida library system declined to enforce masks for political reasons #& reassured us that PPE is much less important than safety improvements at the operational & engineering level #but they didn't do those things either! we opened no windows; upgraded no HVACs; we put plexi on the service desks & stickers on the floors #& just as we have seen covid dangers downplayed or misrepresented workers still do not receive useful information about chemical hazard #a bunch of those MSDS handouts leave out carcinogen status & workers had to fight like hell to even be told what they're handling #a bunch of them still do not know—consider agricultural workers & pesticide exposures. to choose an obvious & egregious example.

#i think i first listened to this song around the time Behind The Codes became an official project #My brain probably associated the feelings of excitement and fear with the song so ig that's why I love it so much #On one side. I love working on the Behind The Codes #there's an overwhelming amount of ways to tell this story: brainstorming. designing. animating. writing and rewriting until your brain- #starts to fry and get foggy with so many ideas. its both good and stressful to push your limits like this #On another side. I'm constantly anxious about it #I've always been afraid to admit the things I enjoy as well as the things that i create #You don't allow yourself to create and embrace new things even when you're essentially alone #and yes I'm aware of the fact that there will be people who won't enjoy the series- which isn't what bothers me #What bothers me is that I might regret certain decisions #'This is not the message I wanted to convey' #'This is not the story I wanted to tell' #The decision to share this song here is the clearest example of what I mean: #Part of me says: this song is so btc oh my god please put it at the end credits wait THERE IS A 2ND PART OF IT AND IT'S EVEN COOLER OOOAAAA #then there's the main thought: this song is so stupid. it's so corny in a way it makes me uhghu7ujhkjg.. #i won against my negative thoughts today. yay #this whole post is just me rambling and being anxious. i dont even know what to say hjdsfbwjkefkdsf #bye :waves: #starbstalks

#finn's ocs #oc references #finn's art #YAY i finally get to post my funny little artist guys #i feel like its fairly obvious what each persons gimmick is but just for the sake of brevity (for anyone who doesnt wanna read the readmore) #in order #jupiter doesnt have a Specific art bc hes the guildmaster and you can think of him as more of a teacher of sorts #erin is a poet/writer. pictor is obvs a painter. oberon is a thespian. syrma is a seamstress #parumleo is a comedian. leda is a ballerina. and styx is a musician (or straight up rockstar) #since these characters are all like.. trinary characters they dont go all Too much deeper than their gimmicks #but thats why theyre fun to design bc its like. what if [thing] was a guy LOL #also i wanted to try some new stuff out w their designs (like syrmas dimples for example) so i hope they look okay? i hope so... #also leda and how shes literally the least clothed character ive ever made. shes going to catch a cold for sure yeah #parumleo i worry about bc i had a fairly similar color pallet for asterope (but no red) so i hope he still stands out. the lolcat.... #oh also if erin and oberon's powers sound similar that's on purpose too. shes like his protege #i feel like out of all of them though pictor is like the prime example of guy who should be in an artist guild LOL #like the most archetypal. most ppl think of painters when they think of artists #but i wanted different types in there too. #painters writers actors even funnymen and rockstars. they all belong. theyre all weird about creating #anyway im glad i can finally post them now ^_^
