#just getting the ball rolling

[brainrotdotorg]

kim kitsuragi would take bowling SO fucking seriously. that man would act like he doesnt give a shit about the game at first but every time he throws the ball he does the thing where he holds it up to his face before going into a deep lunge as he rolls it, he stays in the lunge until the ball hits the pins. if he gets a strike he will get the most smug look on his face. harry gets a gutterball and kim tells him "better luck next time, detective. we can put up the bumpers if you want."

#disco elysium #the visual of kim in a bowling outfit came to me. #like a vision from god. #and him in that low fucking lunge with his arm out just watching the ball roll. #if his ball gets in the gutter he gets so fucking embarrassed.

fibre optic cables yum (part 2)

Emmet is not in trouble! But someone else is.

(comic name is based off the meme redraw in the first page; I know fibre optics do not contain electricity)

Dialogue if it’s hard to read:

Emmet: “Hello! I am Emmet. I was looking for my brother, Ingo.” “I thought you were part of this strange environmnent,“ “but you are in fact, a Pokemon.” Xurkitree: “Xz?” Emmet: “Which means...” “Stowaway, you must apologize.” Stowaway: “?!” “You bit their leg.” Xurkitree: “Zzt.”

#crossroads emmet #submas #subway boss emmet #joltik #xurkitree #pokemon #I dont have a drawing tag #art #comic #I'll just keep that disclaimer in there from now on #I nickname ideas stupidly to get the ball rolling in my head and organization

The Origin of Misogyny: It is not Men’s Socialization or Men’s Nature, but Men’s Ability

The idea that misogyny comes from socialization is circular logic. Misogyny comes from misogynistic laws and religions? Who made the laws? Who made the religions? How is it possible that women were  socialized to be subservient to men in so many cultures, even ones that had no previous contact with each other?

However, the idea that misogyny comes from men’s nature is also flawed. Yes, men’s hatred of women is extremely common, as previously established, yet it is not completely universal. There have been matriarchal societies. And in our day-to-day interactions with men, we do notice differences between men based on how they were raised and their respective day-to-day environments.

So what is the root of misogyny, if it’s not men’s socialization or men’s nature? 

I think a more useful way of understanding misogyny (and honestly all forms of oppression) is not to focus on socialization or nature but on ability.

Men have a unique ability to harm women in a way that women cannot harm men. Men can impregnate women. Women cannot impregnate men. On top of having this unique ability, men also have major incentives for doing it: by impregnating a woman, they receive pleasure and a lineage. Unlike women, they also run such a small biological risk for producing a child. After having their orgasm, nothing else is biologically required from them. At worst, they might get an STD.

You might argue that some men are gay or do not want children. That’s all very much true. However, I am not arguing that men have a natural impulse to use their ability. I am simply stating that they have the ability. It is also important to understand that men exist as a class, as well as individuals. While individual men might not even have the ability to impregnate (due to infertility), we can hopefully understand that men as a class have this ability.

If it helps, we can think of this unique ability like a gun. Half of the population is born with a gun (ability to impregnate)  and a bullet-proof vest (inability to be impregnated); the other half is born with neither. The ones born with the gun and the bullet-proof vest  are not necessarily born with a natural impulse to fire the gun--but they are nonetheless born with one.

Even if a man never hurts someone with the gun, I want you to imagine how his psyche is formed just by virtue of having it. Imagine walking into a room with a gun and a bullet-proof vest, and no one else in the room has either. Even if you would never use the gun…just having one gives you a sense of protection, and perhaps a sense of superiority and power. Even if you would never use your tacit threat, you nonetheless have a tacit threat. And now imagine the psyche of those without the gun or the vest. They are vulnerable, and know that they are vulnerable, to the ones who do have one. And so their options are to either appease those with guns and vests, always tip-toeing around them--or to band together.

The ability argument answers the questions that the socialization argument fails to address; namely, it answers the question “where do sexist laws and religions come from?”  It comes from men’s unique ability to harm women in a way that women cannot harm men. This is not to say that men have a natural impulse to harm women--just that they can. 

#radfem #radfems please interact #radfems welcome #radfems please touch #I have more thoughts on this but I just wanted to get the ball rolling #I also want to emphasize that this argument is like...self-evident in most parts of the world....I think #but for some reason in western academic circles this argument gets lost lol and we're left with the socialization and nature arguments #socialization is most definitely an exacerbating factor but it's not the root #let's get to the root!

yaaay update finally :p another slow one. not sure why this one took so long, it looks sort of ugly but i dont feel like working on it anymore. luckily the next one will be more eventful so i'll probably get on it sooner

if youve noticed, alice and julius have not been referred to by name in this comic. in vantablank, theyre just "the director" and "the assistant". i don't want to confuse anyone, so im just prefacing now that they will be called this for the entire duration of the comic.

It's hard being a messenger, every once in a while you gotta rest.

So, after a while I finally finished part 1 of the Spearmaster Collection: The Eepies!

Credits are under the cut! If I got a credit wrong please let me know. Also, don't see your Spears? Worry not, its logged for a different part of the Spearmaster Collection (otherwise I'd have about 80 odd spears to draw and my hands would cry and i wanted to let everyone's spear get more attention in the drawing :] )

In no particular order: @i-likegamesbut-cant-playthem, @psystirene, @azrielfiend, @kakajoju, @emmetofthestars, @whippiekippy, @ardienothesieno, @sillycryptid, @pookapufferfish, @mothlight-hours, @verdeltiathedead, @rainworld-rivulet (hiiii friend), @nandemonaiwow, @kakyogay, @faelingdraws, @chillysaint, @jpegthedogthing, @fauxbia, @kedakirahei, @shark-bytee, @booksofstars, @stargazer0001

Thank you all for submitting your spears! Ik some designs are a bit outdated, I hope this was still worth it anyway <3

#rain world #rain world downpour #rw spearmaster #doodles #trypophobia #i am. so sorry for how long this took #i think i got extremely overwhelmed with just how many spears i got and backgrounds are hard for me to do #so uh. hope you all like this! It has been very fun to doodle them when i finally got the ball rolling #apologies if i ended up getting something wrong- #its been a while since i first collected refs and some thing changed and i. forgot to label whats like new or not #uh if the art quality gets too crunched by tumblr i might put it in a drive or something so people can stare at it easier

Hot and heavy sex with FuckBoy!Sero that slowly turns into the slow, deep, hand-holding, forehead to forehead, can’t look away as you feed off of each others moans sex… Please and thank you.

#This will be my next Sero piece if it murders me…. #Want to feel him in my throat… #Hushing and looking down at you with that look in his eyes that scares him a bit… #The look that tells you this is more than just sex; that he’s giving you something more than just his cock. #Holding you like you’re a life line and basking in your body… #I feel like that man has charisma for days and yet; this love-struck unknowable depth he just doesn’t show. #Until he’s with you that is and he’s balls deep and his stomach is doing a funny thing whenever you look at him - #and it’s making it hard to focus on the way his hand is wrapped in your hair arching your back so he can fuck you from behind : #so he does the only logical thing… #He flips you over and laces your hands with his; bends one leg over his shoulder to get in just as deep and sinks in slow… #His eyes on yours; mouth lingering close enough to swallow every one of your moans… #You whine; eyes rolling back: ‘Hanta: so - so deep’ #yeah; he thinks. He fucking might be in deep. #And not just in your guts.

Hey Sergle, how does one learn how to draw? Like, I am in my 20s, can barely draw a stick figure, and feel overwhelmed whenever I try to look up tutorials. Do you have any advice on how to start?

my Unprofessional advice on how to start in earnest, is to do it the way little kids do when they start learning to draw! which is to not approach it as learning at all. sitting down and scribbling out whatever comes to mind, reading a book or watching a movie and trying to copy the way the characters are drawn. draw a page full of cats. do it while you watch tv. doing all that w/o the Grown Up impulse to be embarrassed that you're new at a skill.

#I don't care if this advice isn't structured- i think this is the more fun way to learn! #I could send you a masterpost with links on tutorials and How Tos and Beginner Guides For Dummies etc but that's not.. the way I think #that it should work. #you could take a class or follow tutorials you find on yt and that's fine too. but like you said #it's overwhelming that way. bc then it feels like homework. and then it feels like there's a Certain Way to do it #and if there's a certain way to do it then that means there's a wrong way to do it. #oh the second part of this advice is to use physical art supplies. digital art is amazing #but traditional art and the practice of putting ink to paper is satisfying in a tactile way that digital art isn't #and you don't have to Set Up any art program to have the exact like. tablet settings you want #idk baby you should just pick up some art supplies that inspire you and get the ball rolling #steal some watercolor from hobby lobby if you must! paint some flowers. or some shit! have fun! #sergle answers

#first draft complete #tons of editing but i can finally get the ball rolling #it's the beginning of the finale #and there's lots of stuff to cover #vanessa is a little occupied at the moment #i'm a little emotional at the final scene i just wrote but i'm good i'm fine it's gonna be okay #naff nuh huh

[koddlet]

i want to make a zine but like... i dont know where to start. like, how do you even choose something to write about. D:

make a list of your interests! ask yourself questions, like what's a pet peeve of yours? favourite snack? what are you looking forward to? any controversial food opinions? maybe you want to do a theme, colours are always fun to work with [example one + two]! compile them and do the good ol' method of picking out of a hat, random number generator, whatever you need to help you choose.

i know picking a topic is hard, but i honestly think that starting is even harder - at least that's what i struggle with the most. so whatever you pick, just commit to it and get it down on the pages. don't worry about getting it 'right'. you might be happy with the outcome, you might not. good! you can try again, or do something else. all that matters is that you've made it and it'll get easier

#i completely get you bc its like. wow i can make a zine about anything!😁 i can make a zine about anything...😰 #but honestly you just need to get the ball rolling. i swear on my bulbs of garlic #you can even make a zine about not being able to choose a topic! just get sillay with it. i literally made a zine about boiling an egg #a lot of my zines are more like mini sketchbooks tbh. i like to do mini observational stuff so if thats something ur into... #anonymous #ask #zine talk

[thingscanalwaysgetworse]

Thinking about the Ian/Ellie/Ian reunion through a romantic lens. Spending decades trying to convince themselves that they didn’t miss each other and then they meet up and it’s like?? Alan and Ellie are already gazing at each other like long-lost lovers. When they walk into Ian’s lecture, he pauses and looks like his world has just shifted on its axis. Ellie and Ian always had something going on between them but now Alan’s realizing that his own feelings for Ian are maybe less platonic than he thought. And then later they’re all bickering lovingly like they’ve been married for years. I’m unwell

#dinot3 #palaeocule #Alan x Ellie x Ian #alan grant #ellie sattler #ian malcolm #jurassic world dominion #Jurassic park #rambles from the ether #I know I’m fudging a bit with the bickering lovingly part but hey maybe it happened offscreen. I can dream #none of this is canon anyway but yeah just #look look look #I know that canonically there’s nothing going on #but it’s fun to imagine an alternate universe where they’re just trying to act super casual about seeing each other again #but internally they’re like ‘oh I missed you so much’ #something about the first movie being right person wrong time #but then finally thirty years later it’s the right time #(but they’re too scared to do anything about it until Ellie kisses Alan and gets the ball rolling lol) #anyway. #I love a ship that’s funny and tragic and sweet all at once #(tragic bc of all that lost time) #i'm so sleep deprived sorry lol #this has been sitting in the drafts for a little bit #releasing it into the void now

People whose native language has grammatical genders - how’s it going with non-binary people? Are there new word forms that can be used instead? I know that you get latinx etc - any others? Or do you just have to live with gender everywhere?

Topper def feeds Rafe's delusions about Barry

Kelce will tell him to leave that boy alone, stop being obsessive and topper will be in his other ear like no, you can't give up yet!! Barry came all the way to the north side to find you!! More than once!! He literally wants you so bad, bro, believe me.

Just out of boredom, too, Topper doesn't really care who Rafe ends up with but it's so funny to watch his friend flounder around the other guy, all flushed and nervous and nothing like his usual douchebag self

#It's private only for them though #When Barry's around Topper is his number one hater #Topper & Barry enemies at first sight #He feels it's his right at Rafe's best friend to squeeze himself into their (nonexistent) love life #When neither will admit feelings Topper sends over a friend to flirt w one of them #Just to get the ball rolling #rafebarry #rafe x barry #rarry obx #rafe cameron #barry (obx) #obx #barry obx #outer banks #topper thornton
