Augh, ok I wasn't certain if I could still draw some opm and honestly I was a lil curious how they would look like after what, a year, so some Genos for practice. Intriguing that Murata decided to draw him with sleeves one day, it's like seeing a pink dolphin. I'm honestly just doing whatever.

#opm #one punch man #genos #one art man #auuugh finding a good analog pen is so difficult #I honestly don't know which brushes some pro artists use but it looks really good #Idk if it's my lack of skill but I can't seem to replicate the same delicateness they do w this one

every time i see someone mischaracterize matthias as a dumb, blonde, malewife with no personality except being nina's (dead) boyfriend i want to fistfight god and cause the mass extinction of humanity

#because like did we read the same books? #yeah matthias is a great boyfriend and sort of malewife-y #thats not the only part of his character! #like he isnt just some random character who only exists to make nina seem like a girlboss #he has so much character potential and development #just because leigh bardugo didnt make him have some big personality and act all main character-y #doesnt mean he's flat and boring and 2 dimensional #honestly leigh sort of wronged him by not giving her more relationships and development with other characters #and not giving him more development in genera #but from what she did give him #hes great #i get so sick of mischaracterization and lack of media literacy #six of crows #soc #six of crows fandom #matthias helvar #crooked kingdom #nina zenik #helnik #sort of #not sure if the nina tag and helnik tag really apply #but like the relationship and nina are both mentioned so i added it to be safe #mischaracterization #media literacy #or lack thereof

listen y’all need to have more trust in lewis and also more trust in charles. granted, ferrari is the variable we are all scared of here, but I do trust vassuer more than binotto and I don’t think either of these drivers would sign these deals with ferrari if they, or any of their trustworthy team, thought it was going to be bad for them.

#lewis isn’t signing to be some mid second driver and charles isn’t going to automatically get deprioritized #he’s just going to have to earn that priority which I have faith in him to fight for fairly anyways and I think he’d enjoy that challenge #against a fair competitor and seasoned champion like lewis #it may come as a surprise to some but drivers with their talent and level actually enjoy competition with others on the same wavelength #and I think if I were to accept charles being beaten by anyone it would be at lewis’ hands anyways AND vice versa #they have always produced spectacular but largely respectful moments when they race each other #maranello.txt #the fans and discouese and media WILL be horrendous #but honestly I think this could be something exciting for both of them?? #they really did always seem like they enjoyed racing each other #and I genuinely want nothing more than for both of these drivers to enjoy racing again purely

[fedoraspooky]

I haven’t been here long. What irritating changes have been made?

Credit where it's due, some changes have been good, like polls and stuff! But the big recent changes thus far that I would classify as irritating are:

- The UI change. This one may be less irritating for newcomers because it's basically the same layout as twitter and instagram, but for a lot of folks who've been here a long time, it feels cramped and like a loss of identity for the site. For many, the appeal of tumblr is that it ISN'T an algorithm hell like twitter or insta. Also, there's the annoyance of having to relearn where everything is, because it all got moved around.

- The users being lab rats for various tests the devs wanna pull out of nowhere without consenting to beta testing new site features- like the one that took away user icons on the dash for like half the site. They finally put them back after getting enough feedback that said NO, but users were so used to their feedback being disregarded that they were half expecting the change to be pushed through anyway.

- The Netflix tie-in advertising being pushed even to people who had PAID tumblr for a no-ads experience. Complete with them somehow thinking it would be a good idea to put an unescapable-by-scrolling spooky clown on peoples' dashboards that u had to use ublock to get rid of. While I'm not scared of clowns and often find them quite charming, it sucks that staff didn't take coulrophobia being a common fear into account.

- A wave of fully sfw trans posts being wrongfully marked Mature and staff doing little to nothing about it. Not sure if this is still ongoing, but it destroyed a lot of trust and good will. (LGBT+ users have been having to fight a constant war against censorship ever since the adult content ban on tumblr, so yeah... Nevar 4get the list of banned search words that would bring back no results, like 'girl')

- The site gradually moving away from customization. Tumblr is a BLOGGING site. But it seems to have lost sight of that fact, because most new users don't even know you can fully customize your blogs with css and stuff (an option that is now off by default for new accounts!), because of the in-dash viewer giving you only how blogs look on mobile, which is a lot more uniform. There, it's more like every other site- you get a banner and icon. Oh, but you can change colors and fonts from a drop-down list too, that's cool I guess. Though they recently took away custom color schemes on Message windows, just another little bit of personalization taken away.

- TUMBLR. LIVE. Basically tumblr teamed up with a skeevy dating app partner to allow for livestreams- but not the cool kinda livestreams like on twitch where you can draw or play games, no- to a site full of people who value anonymity, they decided to push phone cam only livestreams. Not only that but by agreeing to the terms, you're giving out tons of personal data including your location to said skeevy dating app partner and all of THEIR third-party ad partners. Needless to say, most people didn't wanna use it, so instead of users it's flooded by p*rn bots (which is ANOTHER issue we've been dealing with for a long time and have been getting an even bigger influx of FROM tumblr live) and scammers. And thus, since tumblr likes to put a carousel of current streams on people's dashes, you often get softcore p*rn thumbnails from the bot streams with no way to avoid it except for toggling off tumblr live entirely.

- Oh wait. That's right. You CAN'T toggle it off. Because you can only snooze it for a while until BAM, you're jumpscared by a carousel of ladies licking your screen again! But hey, at least they made the snooze 30 days instead of the 7 it used to be, right? Yeah, except for the fact that you can't get rid of the tumblr live button itself on the app anymore, and now it's front and center with a NEW notification tag on it, overlapping your dash and cramming useful stuff like the search button out of the way.

NOW- A lot of this stuff CAN be at least mostly fixed on desktop by installing ublock and xkit and tampermonkey + dashboard unfucker... But that's a lot of stuff just to make the site usable, you know?

#this isn't even a comprehensive list but hopefully that covers all the big ones #anyway i get tumblr has to make money and it's currently not doing that #but burning through the remaining good will of the people who stuck around through earlier bs doesn't seem like a great idea either #ah well... i'm still here regardless #i've already had to leave deviantart behind because it became an ai cesspit... and it sucked. I had a lot of good memories there. #it sucks to uproot everything and move. so unless something equally bad happens here i'll probs be going down with the ship lol #also there's like nowhere else to go right now which is a huge problem; #i've been trying to look for other places to post too but none really have the same laid-back feeling tumblr does. #also i love the asks system too much. more sites need that honestly #anyway i rambled enough hope this helps u get an idea of why people are angy #asks

I recognize that this mostly happens because Obi-Wan is and always has been a direct foil for Anakin, but I am SO tired of all of Obi-Wan's more canon love interests ending up being more about making commentary on Anakin and Anidala than they are on exploring OBI-WAN. It's just sad and I'm so tired of it and I think that until people are willing to write a romance for Obi-Wan that isn't actually about Anakin at all, Obi-Wan should just be made off-limits for romance plot lines entirely. Leave the man alone, please, I am begging you.

#star wars #obi-wan kenobi #i just finished reading the first half of secrets of the jedi with the siriwan relationship #and holy mother of god was it anidala coded all to hell and back #obi-wan is turned into a mighty prude and siri into this sweet motherly character just to make it work #everything from the reaction obi-wan has on seeing her at the beginning to how quickly the relationship moves to the secrecy #it's all anidala #it's all ABOUT anidala #obi-wan is so ooc in this that it's not even funny #he's not even in character to previous works written about him BY THE SAME AUTHOR #and yet somehow it is STILL miles better than whatever the fuck obitine was supposed to be #where obi-wan is given a love interest specifically designed to be killed off so that they could compare that to anidala #and honestly the scene where she dies is probably their ONLY good scene together #it's certainly the only scene where they seem to genuinely understand or even LIKE each other #like siriwan has obi-wan acting ooc but at least he's not literally misogynistic towards his love interest #unlike the way tcw chose to write him #like yeah sure i really feel the romance in obi-wan calling satine 'hysterical' over her perfectly reasonable political views #and at least siri respects and understands the jedi life and LOVES the jedi order unlike satine #so despite how frustrating siriwan is - obitine is 10x worse still #it makes me SO so glad that tala ended up losing the romantic aspect of her relationship with obi-wan #because you KNOW that that would've just ended up another anidala parallel #again #as obi-wan loses yet another female love interest to death at the hands of the sith. again. #honestly tala's relationship with obi-wan is IMPROVED by the lack of a romantic love interest #there's a lot of interesting meaning in that relationship that i honestly believe would be lost if it had been romantic #obi-wan and love interests just don't seem to mix well in canon or anything canon-adjacent #free my man from terrible romantic storylines that aren't even about him #obitine critical #siriwan critical #anti obitine

*cough cough* I heard someone say Baseball NY and Hockey NJ?

@alaskashigh *points aggressively* YOU!!!! I wanted to do this literally all day since I saw your post!!!!

I think this is like such a fun dynamic, whether it's shipped or just their normal bullshit (personally I don't ship them but I can agree with those who do ship them, they are very cute together)

They are arguing about who gets the backyard probably, a very common argument once the baseball season pops up I'd imagine (and I am), half the time the only reason they stop is because of a meeting lol

[mokeonn]

Gonna be 100% honest here it is REALLY bugging me that it is (rightfully) considered wrong to ask Palestinians if they condone Hamas any time they talk about Palastine, but I often see people question pretty much every Jewish person on this website if they condone Isreal or if they don't post about Palastine on their blog enough or "correctly" they're automatically considered a zionist? How is that okay?

Before the "piss on the poor" website gets to this, I'm gonna make it explicitly clear: this website has an antisemitism problem and it is blatantly clear that a concerning amount of you hate a perceived idea of zionism, that happens just so to include every and all Jewish people, more than you care about helping Palestinians. I'm not Jewish myself, but I shouldn't have to be to call out the antisemitism absolutely swarming in leftist spaces.

If vocal proud antisemites and actual nazis use the Free Palastine movement as an outlet to be antisemitic, maybe we should take some time to address that? Make the movement safe for Jewish people?? Think about why they are using a left leaning cause to be hostile to Jewish people?

#simon says #i will admit that i have noticed a concerning pattern #it seems mayhaps when this website finds a group to be mad at they get downright violent #and the definition of that group slowly broadens #and it becomes a huge issue #idk i often see a pattern of people in a group labeled as a bad thing until proven otherwise #like jewish people being labeled as zionists until proven otherwise #or feminists being labeled as terfs until proven otherwise #or lesbians being labeled as terfs until proven otherwise #im sensing a pattern here and I am not a fan #i like to hope the point of 'hey you're conflating jewish people with zionism' doesn't get lost #like I see people criticise Israel for conflating jewish people with zionism before turning around and doing the EXACT SAME THING #it's absolutely awful #like hey maybe we should keep leftist spaces safe for jewish people #I'm honestly really scared that posting this will get me labeled as a zionist myself which I think really says a LOT #free palestine #current events #palestine

#I haven't particularly thought about the twins lifespan tbh #I think that full demons are immortal #I'm still working on demon lore but I think that demons grow up quicker than humans do and at a certain point stop aging #like when they're in a human equivalent of their mid-late 20's or early-mid 30's they stop aging and stay that age forever and can't die of #old age #But I'm not really sure about half-demons #The twins & Nero seem to be aging normally #Not rapidly #And Dante definitely doesn't appear to have stopped aging at any point? #I'd argue he even looks older than he really is #Maybe they can choose to age or not? #Or if they are immortal they stop aging later than full demons? #Or maybe they just have a lengthened life span but can die of old age they'll just live longer than regular humans? #Or maybe they have a human lifespan #I'm honestly not sure #I think Trish is immortal and that honestly makes me feel bad for her #I almost want to say they are immortal just for Trish's sake #But then Dante Vergil and Nero will have to watch the humans they care about inevitably be sweeped away by old age #Same as Trish #I'm honestly really not sure #Devil May Cry #DMC #Dante DMC #Vergil DMC #Nero DMC

idk. the dichotomy what ppl say about wylls romance vs my own experience with it. it was def the romance that clicked most with me and i enjoyed most, and i remember even thinking "wow so MUCH and such GOOD content!". but i also went into it from minthara's romance (and astarion's which sadly didn't click with me as much) lol.

#petra.txt #i honestly think who complain abt it after the last patch have never actually romanced wyll #bc i saw sooo much just wrong 'facts'? like that he doesn't have a romance greeting? #i was soooo confused bc i was like 'i def had one'??? #but yeah that's why i think most ppl complaining didn't romance him #also treading into dangerous water ik lmfao cancel me if u want but i'm actually someone who likes wyll his romance and make content for him #also 'everything is abt mizora' ok everything with gale is abt mystra. everything with minthara is abt orin. everything with astarion is #abt cazador. everything with shadowheart is abt shar. #i get asking for more content bc his act 1 scene is much shorter than other characters romance scenes #but pls just stop blatantly lying #i find it really hard to be enthusiastic abt the 'more content for wyll' crusade when none of u went to bat for minthara and ignore her #when u make those comparisons abt how much screen time each romance gets #bruh i literally had mutuals on my dash who thought there was NO new wyll kisses bc those posts made it seem so dire i had to be like #'he got the same amount of kisses as literally everyone else' lmai

Fic's going well obviously why wouldn't it be going well can't you see it's going well etc.

#my writing #half of this fic is just claude observing white ppl in their natural habitat and shaking in fear #im actually really really enjoying writing claude. he's such the polar opposite of dimitri. #but also exactly the same. but also he would get really offended if you said that. #it's so clear that he walked into Garreg Mach fully 100% convinced that he was the smartest person there #like he is so dead-set convinced he's some trickster figure #but He's Just Some Guy. #he doesn't know that. he doesn't know He's Just Some Guy #it's been fun setting up the pure (very fueled by Almyran perceptions of superiority) disdain Claude has for these people #and then turning it around onto him and hitting him over the head with the reminder that #as royalty/royalty equivelant to TWO NATIONS #he is probably the single most privileged person in the room #and that he's honestly DEEPLY full of himself #he's so much fun!!! #he's there to take assholes down a peg but also let's take him down a peg #I thought playing GD after BL would make Dimitri sound less insane. and on some levels he seems less insane in GD. #but it's making his character a thousand times more insane through sheer comparison
