"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

#out of queue #ani rambles #punks and posers #i cant even call this a 4am hot take because its 7pm but like #idk i keep seeing posts about like 'how DARE people think I bought my punk clothes how DARE they not know the how-tos and DIYs' #or 'ugh people only care about the ~aesthetics~ of my movement if you don't know shit get out of here' and like #maybe I'm just a shy ass introverted nerd whos scared of social rejection! but I avoid that shit like the plague #so if someone were to reject me based on not knowing about something I'd never even heard about? something i was JUST getting into? #there's a high chance I'd just scram and never look back. i don't wanna be the one who causes that emotion in someone else #granted this is coming from someone who STILL doesn't know how to make her own patches or worked up the courage to do direct action praxis #outside of offering neighbors to my tomatoes and trying to talk to people about what I'm passionate about #but still imo unless someone's a malicious intentional bad actor i dont see the point in scaring newbies off #thats how movements die imo #i know this is my solarpunk blog but its not a solarpunk specific thing #i think the main post that inspired this was about store-bought versus self-made spiked leather jackets #which honestly just feels petty to me but who knows. #might delete later

[musette22]

anyone else feeling a little more insane than usual lately? a smidge more unhinged and feral? perhaps feeling a little bit more like a caged tiger than they normally do?

#just me? cool cool cool #I just wanna chew through some cables #or my own arm #I need SOMETHING #I just don't know what #or why #is it hormones? the heat? am I just finally losing it? #who even knows folks #ah this is fun #so tempted to book a flight just... anywhere #or get like five more tattoos #or sign up for a marathon #all would be very bad ideas #and yet #I'd say 'to delete later' #but I think it's important to own the madness #minnie talks

Still so baffling to me how you cant completely ally with gortash as durge with all that history. For a game that lets you do some truly heinous things.

#i dont wanna talk about how this game treated orin and gortash #they could have been such amazing villains if this game deleted the fucking painting quest or mystic carrion quest idk and focused more on #orin and gortash like #i love those two dont get me wrong but god for the biggest players in baldurs gate they are handled so poorly #if it wasnt for the durge story i would have not given a single fuck about them #because they just seem like mini bosses in the city #everyday i am disappointed that if you do ally with him #he just dies like that jfkdkgks that is the mastermind behind everything!!! why do you kill him off like that #no payoffs whatsoever #critical #i dont like when people defend it as #yeah because he got too ambitious and he just dies like that #maybe its just bad writing idk #love this game but gosh

Too tired to draw, what is this curse. I wanna draw so badly but can't even focus on the screen, augh

#talk tag #rant #i guess? #i feel super bad about complaining in here #but where else would I go with it #I just got a stressful job and keep messing up #not the job itself. but relationships with coworkers #it's so stressful bc I don't wanna come across as mean #it's just my face/voice when I'm not constantly making sure it's soft and nice #I don't wanna be mean #can't just go and say “it's the neurodivergence” #since I don't even know wtf is wrong with me #<- afraid of therapists #bc if I go to even one therapists and disregards my struggles I may just cry. and impostor syndrome again #rambling in the tags #will delete this later #i just needed to get this out #I also keep infodumping to clients and not sure how that's gonna fly with the bosses #...probably not well #english is hard today wtf #tw vent

[honeyhobbs]

[returnofahsoka]

i'm enjoying all the guardians content we've been getting in what if s2 so here's actual cosmic horror child peter quill and his plush raccoon they added for no reason wink wink

#i havent shared my art in ages jesus christ. #also i feel like if i do anything more complex than a messy lineart pencil sketch. it will end up looking bad. #so have this for now #but ill have more time at home now so i kinda wanna get back to drawing #anyways #marvel #what if #guardians of the galaxy #my posts #my art #might delete this later if i feel bad about it idk

[dorkfruit]

i thought it would be interestin if, instead of having eyes that shift colors, you instead got two pupils as a lyctor

#the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #ianthe tridentarius #naberius tern #my art #procreate #struggled big with the colors and rendering on this so i ended up just pressing buttons and using filters #til it eventually looked sorta coherent #it ended up kinda weird and pixely but i sorta dig it so i uploaded it anyways #plus i put so much work into the lineart and deleted the lineart when coloring bc im dumb #so even if the painting looks bad i wanna share it ! #tlt #gtn

[makeitlookdecent]

face

#i draw kalsit but she ends up looking kinda like siege; i use her face i look like jessica i cant win #sadge #its her 90's hair air vents -n-) #arknights #arknights kal'tsit #arknights doctor #also very happy mspaint doesnt erase transparent anymore! #i mean i cant draw with the eraser like before but the change in size for the pen is nice so not that bad #also idk if mine just glitches but i'd go to color erase (turn a color a diff color by singling it out w/eraser) #and it just deleted parts of my picture as if i held erase and moved screen (i was zoomed in so i didnt notice) #and i couldnt undo it. idk what happened but i guess i'll save more often and color erase zoomed out #anyway back to kaltsit: i hate her clothes its easy when simple but so so hard when u wanna draw it on...whats the word #on file? on chart?? when you draw them with the details a character is supposed to have. on reference???? #anyway idk how things connect ;;0;; #edit: ITS CALLED ON MODEL!!! it hard to draw her clothes on model

[clambuoyance]

I’ve never been so obsessed with a character so bad that I literally can’t do anything else I’m like the squidward meme watching SpongeBob frolic outside the window stretching a hand out to all the pretty paintings and animations and comics I see in my head but being unable to feel any motivation for it . If only i could use the energy spent to create 20 kon doodles to sit down and concentrate on a single finished full piece I used to be able to make like 5 page comics what happened to me

#sighs yes before anyone says anything IK it’s probably adhd related 😭 #BUT ITS GOTTEN SO BAD I CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY BRAIN HOW DID IT GET WORSE #it’s probably a mix of burnout too but I don’t get tired of drawing ? #it feels like when u get dizzy or change glasses or so #and it’s either everything is wayyy too in focus and you can see literally everything clearly that it hurts ur brain #which doesn’t help given how saturated w information the world is always #and simultaneously somehow everything is blurry or out of focus and I physically have to strain myself to hone in on one thing #I JUST WANNA READ COMICS AND FINISH A DRAWING AND HANDLE WORK AND SCHOOL AND TALK TO MY FRIENDS #ALL IN OME DAY #BUT MY BRAIN IS LIKE. TODAY IS ONLY FOR COMICS. YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ESLE #😫🫶 I’m deleting this later I’m just ranting LMAO #I’m highschool it’s crazy bc I did okay and then honestly i just think my ability to concentrate has deteriorated as the years have gone by #free me!!! #either way I want to lessen my social media and just pick One bc girl I have an Instagram a tumblr and a twitter this is horrible for me . #honestly I’ll probably pick instagram and just post on tumblr when I have art #I already do that #I mean when I have Good art. #IM RAMBLING IDK
