drawing with a pencil after painting for 2 hours makes me feel like those people whove been at sea and when they finally get to land they kiss the ground

#the solidness of a pencil i missed u so #and #like the absolute relief at realizing i can still draw stuff okay #bc when im painting i feel utterly lost sobs #im so out of shape.. need to paint traditionally more #so many things to improve so little time.. #magpi rambles

Best thing about Steeplechase is watching Justin slowly go mad with power. Turning point was in the Gutter City arc when he realized he can just say anything and make it canon. Yeah you have to bring your own dough to the bakery!! Fuck you!!! Historically the dynamic on this show has been the players do goofs and the GM frantically tries to move the plot forward so it's really funny to see the opposite. Justin said YOU'RE trapped in here with ME and proceeded to invent the Rust Miner and Shlabethany. The nervous first time GM from the early episodes was never seen again. He has free reign to torment his beloved family and no one can stop him! It's an education in the worst possible times to play the saxophone!

while I'm here, i will post my beloved magpie! I've gotten to play her for a long while now, going on nearly 2 years i think! some rambling under the cut bc i like her u_u ♡

magpie's a rogue/archfey warlock whose patron is a noble of the winter court called "the lady of fallen snow." it's a tiny bit funny- her favorite seasons were always spring and summer. though, the stinging cold doesn't seem to bother her as much lately. maybe winter's been growing on her.

she used to like to collect little trinkets and odds n ends, but lately she's been a bit busy with the ramifications of their party's actions and whatnot.

another thing she used to be was silly and reckless, more concerned broadly with having fun than things like rules or consequences. one of her guiding philosophies used to be that there wasn't any sort of trouble she couldn't get herself out of. that was easy enough to say when she was the only one affected by her troublemaking. not so much when she has friends she cares about and their blinding optimism has landed them in mortal danger more than a few times.

being responsible and practical isn't necessarily her strong suit, but she's been giving it her most honest try.

With all the shit JKR has risen about feminism and what it means to be a woman, I’m always reminded of a metaphor I was taught by the amazing feminist philosophy lecturer back in university. This was back in 2017 (quoted from lecture notes I saved) way before terfs started getting traction, but it rings true today more than ever. 

“In feminism philosophies there are three types of philosopher: the individualist, the radical, and the socialist. 

Here’s a metaphor for how they work, called ‘The Wall, The Lion, the Sheep’. 

The wall represents society, particularly capitalist patriarchal society. The lion represents men, the sheep represents women. 

The wall cages both the lion and the sheep, which makes the lion angry because he wants to be free, but with no one else to attack, he attacks the sheep, the sheep dealing with both the caging of the wall and the force of the lion. 

The individualist feminist sees that the issue is the sheep and suggests “It’s the sheep’s fault for getting in the way of the lion” most them saying “That’s just nature/life!” or at ‘best’ suggesting “Move the sheep out of the way”. That may work in the short term, but the lion is still there, and he can move more freely; he will just attack the sheep again. The individual feminist says that any women suffering the abuse of men or the patriarchy should make their way out on their own, doing minimal effort to help, even blaming the woman for ‘doing this to herself’, falling into the easy solution of solving a problem by victim blaming. 

The radical feminist sees that the issue is the lion and suggests “Declaw the lion and take out his teeth.” That may stop the sheep being harmed in the short and long term, but now the lion is suffering. Radical feminists say that men are the issue and seek their punishment, “an eye for an eye”, not realising that they are ‘othering’ men in the same way women have been ‘othered’. Radical feminists see anything related to men as evil; they don’t see a trans woman as a woman, only as a lion in sheep’s clothing, nor do they see a trans man as a man, only as a misled sheep. They overlook the truth that not all men hate women; lions don’t eat everything that crosses their path. 

The socialist feminist sees that the problem is the wall and suggests “Break the wall down.” The lion is free and runs away to be free, as does the sheep. The problem is solved for both the sheep and the lion. A socialist feminist recognises that the harshest societies have moulded us to be the oppressed ways we all are, and the most effective way to help women is to help everyone; tear it up from the roots. With the oppressive system broken, not only will women have more freedom from patriarchal tyranny, but men will be freed from the toxic masculinity that comes with those systems. Everyone is happy. To be a true feminist is working to destroy an oppressive system to truly help women and all those who are othered by capitalist patriarchy, and anything that allows men to escape the enforced repression of the patriarchy is a great bonus. 

The biggest issue that holds back true feminists is this: walls are harder to break when they keep getting rebuilt by the ones who are so stubborn that the problem is the lion or the sheep. To them, using the oppressive forces of a closed wall gets them what they want, which is to be right, rather than to actually solve the problem.”

JKR is now using the transphobic tory party, currently in charge of the UK government, so further restrict trans voices; a radical feminist that seeks to use the bricks of this current Wall to make sure she is heard, oblivious and probably careless to the fact she’s deafening the voices of other feminists who will now probably feel ashamed to say they’re feminists... 

Feminism is not just helping women, it’s helping those marginalised, those oppressed for who they are, those othered by a system that wishes to box the un-boxable. Feminism is just the name of another movement to help as many people as possible. 

I am non-binary, and I’m a feminist, and the opinion of one close-minded author isn’t going to change that.

I kept thinking about how Forever would react to seeing Martyn, but I feel we all expect him to react a certain way, so instead my interest shifted to another thing: how would Martyn react to Forever.

You know, Martyn is a lot emotionally smarter than most people Forever has shown any interest in.

Bad, Phil, and Brunim tend to wear a mask about their feelings and show their emotions in weird ways, and Max just doesn't tell you how he feels. Martyn may joke a lot about his own feelings and kind of hides them but never to the extent that the other 4 do, and, more importantly, can see the emotions of others and act accordingly.

Although, most importantly, he is not auto-destructive like them. Bad and Max are super auto-destructive if you are aware of their lore, but Philza and Brunim are quite bad too. Brunim is willing to die if it helps to prove a point and Philza is more of the sacrificial type, which is not great, thank god he is good at surviving otherwise he would have died who knows how many times.

Martyn is more "sure, why not" but can draw a line and say "That's a bit too much". So, of course, he would say "yes" if Forever asked him out, but could tell he was just a replacement just by Forever talking. He would probably think that Phil is the ex, not Brunim, unless Forever straight-up says his name.

But, of course, he is not immune. He recognizes why he actually accepted Forever's idea. He can recognize it on Forever because he may or may not be doing the same but at the end of the day. Forever is Forever. Martyn is Martyn. They cannot be replaced.

i like to think that if any of the demons were to have kids (biologically, not emotionally), the kids' symbolic animal would be similar to their dads. ex, fly papa beel and his butterfly kid or peacock dad lucifer with his hummingbird child

Wait this so cute omg-

Tho Asmo’s child could have spider, which is a little less cute but just as fitting!! (if I remember right spiders are closely related to scorpions because they’re in the arachnid family-)

and imagine Satan’s child is the only one who doesn’t have an animal similar to their dads. They don’t have a regular horse or anything like that. They have a cat- lolol

I feel like warrior cats ( + fan works and other cat-centric media ) should show zoomies a lot more. Like The deputy and senior warriors setting up patrols when a young warrior dashed right past them, and they joke about whether they could have an advantage with hunting in that state. Or LeafPool noticing that JayFeather looks a bit fidgety and tells him to go outside. He huffs before complying and a few seconds later she hears him zooming around the woods outside the medicine den.

Tom Riddle became an Animagus after graduating from Hogwarts but never used it because he was embarrassed of the form it took, which didn't befit Voldemort (a magpie)

Not to put the kiss of death on it knowing most social media platforms find new ways of digging below the bar with every new update, but It's nice to see there is still the constant habit of the tumblr user to really show the most authentic appreciation for artists.

Other sites you post art, you get a like or a share, maybe a comment or two saying "this is so good!" or "Nice one, OP!"

Here you post art, you get the full like and reblog, the reblog carrying a posted comment, comments in the replies, comments hidden in the tags, comments in the asks inbox, comments with screenshots of other previous comments, all of them a long the lines of "HKLBDKNBCVBCDUDJjjjjjjiiiiii!!!" "HOW DARE YOU OP?!?/pos" "HOLY SHIT THIS IS SOOOO GOOD!!" "@FRIEND LOOK AT THIS!!!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

And I really appreciate that. :)
