Okay so there’s a trend I’ve noticed recently with live action tv shows where they play licensed music nonstop throughout almost the entire episode. Like it’s just constant needle drops in every scene. It seems like tv executives have now decided that you can’t just watch a scene without music, there has to constantly be background input.

And I don’t mean instrumental, I mean vocal songs from artists not associated with the show. I don’t know why this started, but I’m honestly really annoyed by it because there are a lot of scenes that don’t need music like that for any reason and it actively takes away from whatever’s going on, or there are scenes where I’m okay with there being music but the music they pick is just. Completely wrong. For that specific scene.

Either way, it makes me kind of angry and I hope it goes away soon because there are some shows that aren’t bad but could be improved with less licensed music.

#I just noticed this recently #and now i can’t stop thinking about it #some examples: #young royals #heartstopper #umbrella academy #probably others I haven’t seen #or that I’m forgetting #feel free to add more examples in the notes #music #tv #tv shows #modern tv #streaming #netflix #tv fandom #tv fandoms

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?

You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?

#those 'monday is a general strike stay home if you can!!!' posts are SO performative and they really annoy me #like. you MUST know you can't organize a general strike of tens of millions of people by sharing an infographic on twitter. Right? #don't even get me started on the most recent one that was like 'we understand the last strike only gave one day of notice' #'so this time we're giving you two! strike is on tuesday everyone don't forget!' #like GENUINELY was that supposed to be a joke #the linked article also touches on how difficult actual organizing a workplace is which is nice #because they mention previous failed attempts in which organizers basically just handed out leaflets #and assumed the benefits would be obvious. which i think is basically the equivalent of posting an infographic on twitter #which is to say - not effective at all. Organizing is a LOT of work! Running an effective union even more so! #labor rights

Basically, my philosophy around disability fakers is: I would rather a thousand people fake a disability than have one disabled person suffer without care, aids, compassion, or any help.

#disability #disability advocacy #and there's a difference not many people seem to recognize between faking and realizing you don't have [x] problem... #...such as realizing you don't have [x] disorder because it is instead [y] disorder... #...or you haven't completely understood your care needs/your symptoms/what helps you... #...and some people see ANY change in your understanding of your disability as proof of maliciously faking... #...when i suppose in my personal experience people don't *maliciously* fake disability... #...i'm not saying it could never happen but that i don't think it's the *only* thing motivating people called fakers #i just think (like most everything) this is complex and nuanced because it's a *human* experience #like for me personally i /know/ i still have a lot to learn about my disabilities... #...like... i realized recently that my hands shouldn't be in AGONY when warm water is ran over them when it's SLIGHTLY cold inside or out... #...and i realized that i likely have a Noticable limb difference that needs checking out. does this sound like i'm faking... #...or that maybe i just didn't really explore my own needs and body because of a variety of factors? #i can assure you it is because i haven't really thought before about how i deserved to understand how to best help myself

can you even call it a warm up if I'm going to bed without drawing anything big

and a sketch I made while sitting in the park today

#sketch #my art #bnha #shigaraki tomura #tenko shimura #all for one #midoriya izuku #bnha manga spoilers #only after I finished basically polishing this sketch did I notice how it's basically dark and light mode #also the first one is basically a redraw of illustration from vol 11 #I know that translation of Tenko's words is different in official but eh #fanart #I've kind of recovered from recent chapters #and I was analysing those chapters all morning #I'm still thinking but otherwise the chapters are so good #also did you notice that AFO actually talked about how his other him didn't use that 'last thing' yet and that was in ch 410 #and in ch 419 he did so it's real and it's still sad #but still AFO was never hiding it enough #from Tomura maybe but we as readers actually saw his plans play out #in any case I'm still just sitting with those two Izuku and Tenko interaction chapters #I waited long enough #and if you don't count AFO's return Izuku DID save Tenko and it's so interesting #since he now has to save his OTHER origin that was in ch 237 taught to kill whatever he wants #Tenko and Tomura both had 'origins' chapters and for now we only worked with 235 and 236 #and even if Izuku helped with the start of 237 there's still AFO #in any case it was a hard week #also the second thing actually had them holding hands #and then I was like 'but at that point Izuku's hands are gone oh no' #and it was just Tenko holding air where the hand was destroyed #in any case that scene.

Not to be that guy, but... hey he/they trans guys, I just wanna ask. Do you use "they" because it feels right... because it clicks as part of your identity... or because it doesn't hurt as much as she/her, so it must be okay.

And don't just evaluate this for they/them. Evaluate it for he/him as well. "I'm a guy so I have to use he/him" no the fuck you do not. Plenty of guys use they/them. Plenty of guys use she/her. Plenty use it/its/ve/vir/ce/cir and are still men. If he/him doesn't fit, you don't fucking have to use he/him and it doesn't make you any less of a man. You know that... right?

Also before this post starts an argument I am not pissing on he/they pronoun users I am simply reminding all you transmascs that there is no obligation binding you to those specific pronouns... a post I needed to see myself.

Redraw of a VERY old Strelitzia piece. Crazy what... four whole years...... of drawing can do.

+ the old one(s)

#it almost looks like its drawn by a completely different person omg #also i just noticed that her heart got progressively more solid with each version lol #the og 2020 one is just a blurred put heart light #and the 2021 one is more defined but very transparent #whereas the most recent one has a just slightly see-through crystal heart #lolol #four years of development is crazy #strelitzia #kingdom hearts #kingdom hearts union x #kh #khux #i think i drew this sometime after the first time i actually watched the khux cutscenes? #art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art

Got sharkdrew on the brain (thank you @sade-of-spades 😌)

Find the mer au masterpost here 💕

I’m issuing a “find the artist” below the cut:

Now maybe I’m just being stupid bc I don’t know how wattpad works but I don’t see any artist credit on this collection, it looks like the person went for a “none of this is mine, all content belongs to the creators :)” 🥲 at any rate this is my immense inspiration here so if the style/art looks familiar I’d love to know who it is

#big boy #I realized very recently that if the reason sharkdrew is so beefy is to be able to swim efficiently #without the stabilization or whatever from the two dorsal fins #then he’s probably not noticeably more beefy than anyone else at the start #he’s just A Mer #but of course he grows into the Andrew we know and love him to be on this blog #anyway #fan art #my art #aftg #all for the game #mer au #sharkdrew au #sharkdrew #neil josten
