wanna see a magic trick? 🪄🎩

#YEAYYYY i like drawing this guy #now that i think abt it i cant remember the last time i saw a furry with tattoos.... ive decided not to think too hard about how it would #work but i think i like the idea of him getting playing card tats on his ears would be cool ^_^ #apparently anthro species on furth include birds and mammals and i think fish amphibians and reptiles are non anthro #so instead of whipping out doves he would make white butterflies appear out of his hat :o) #its sort of meant to tie in with the ruffles on his shirt resembling a butterfly!!! i thought id make it close to a swallowtail so #that way its easy to see at a glance. i think that would look really cool irl #he looks a lot like joker p5 now that i look at it... it wasnt intentional but the red eyes and black messy hair is obvious huh #oh but the way his hair curls in the front isnt strictly in one direction just so that its easy to draw lol. its meant to curl around his #hat brim a little bc i thought it would look cool #my art #myart #my oc #oc #sleight #laika's comet #laika's comet oc #fan character #furry #furry art #fur

redditors will be like “erm does anyone else think abed is a bit of a dick 🤓” as if their faves aren’t a disbarred lawyer who sees women as objects, a future cop who drugs her friends with amphetamines, a white feminist who equates virtue signaling with political activism and thinks animal abuse is worse than racism, a pro-life fundamentalist christian, an arsonist, and pierce

#community is not the Good People Happy Times show. it’s like if always sunny was written by an autistic person #community #abed nadir #jeff winger #annie edison #britta perry #shirley bennett #troy barnes #pierce hawthorne #edit: apparently iasip is written by an autistic person my b #community is like if iasip had any non-white characters

Not a huge fan of recent Marvel comics forgetting Magda and her importance in Magneto's life and history in favour of focusing only on Charles.......

#look I ship cherik #but I don't like this pattern of sidelining a male character's relationship with a non-white woman to focus on a white guy #you know max can care about more than one person right? #and his relationship with magda literally defined who he is today #his love for her is what kept him from committing suicide in Auschwitz #she was the mother of his children and her running away in fear is literally what turned him into magneto #it reeks of antiromanyism #magda maximoff #erik lehnsherr #magneto posting #magneto #max eisenhardt #marvel racism

I'm taking a break and feeling a little bit self-indulgent so I think I should introduce to you guys my two first and oldest daughters:

Sol & Nox

They've been with me since maybe my first year in secondary school, and their designs changed a LOT through the years. They're like my dress-up doll tbh.

They're based on common Asian legends about the sun and the moon, that's why Sol's original form is a three-legged bird, and Nox's is a rabbit

This dude? Oh, don't mind him, at least not now. He's not worth mentioning at all lol~

#ah yes they're twin and they're doomed by the narrative #dollya art #Dollya's children #SolNox #Sol the three-legged bird #Nox the black rabbit #original character #and their “little” brother #let's call him “White” for now #“White” #non dol posting

So I hope people recognize the work Erika is doing with Dusk, because it’s soooo frickin good.

Beyond the amazing change in demeanor we saw during their dream, they’ve also been pushing the party’s buttons in all the right ways. And this party? This party needs that. They came together to work for Eshteross, they need something to keep them together once that job is over.

And Dusk is already doing that! Without doing anything outright villainous. Just by crossing boundaries. Asking out the two people least ready for romance back to back. Pushing a little too hard for FCG to fly. Letting their annoyance slip through when the Hells pushed back on their plans. And their plans are good! They’re too good, too focused on success without consideration of the feelings and safety of individuals.

I don’t know if the cast yet knows that Dusk has ulterior moments, but Erika is doing a fantastic job of laying enough groundwork to raise the party’s suspicions, to unite them in a way other villainous characters have yet to do. Orym, Ashton, and Imogen stand together to say, no, FCG shouldn’t fly. Chetney and Ashton both refuse to choose seconds— to dictate which of their friends will risk their lives.

The entire time Erika is at that table, she’s watching and listening and looking for opportunities to exploit. The questions they swoop in to ask, the way they poke and imply things about the party… it’s a thing of beauty. She and Darin De Paul really leaned into the unique opportunities of playing a guest character. So much about Dusk and Sprigg is specifically crafted to provoke the party, one way or another.

The Bassuras arc has been my favorite so far, I can’t wait to see the race, infiltrating the Seat of Distain, and the arrival of Fearne’s parents. I really hope Dusk doesn’t die, they’d be a great recurring character if Erika can make the time. Anyway, I love this character and all the work Erika is doing with them, it’s a pleasure to watch.

#critical role #cr spoilers #dusk cr #erika ishii #campaign 3 #bell’s hells #oh and if you think everything dusk is doing is just what erika wants to do f*ck you #people in this fandom will really see a non-white woman making strong character choices #and say wow what a b*tch i can’t believe they’d act like that #go watch other erika ishii characters if you’re not smart enough to figure out what acting looks like on your own

[hamartia-grander]

In all seriousness though. Luis Serra Navarro is not white. Your art of him should not be white. Your perception of him should not be white. You don't even have to know the history behind his last name to observe with your eyes that he is not white. He is noticeably darker than everyone else in the game, so colouring him lighter, or God forbid making him look as light as Leon and Ashley, is just an absolute lack of observational skills. Even if you are not willingly, actively choosing to whitewash him, your conditioning to whiten features or skin tones is absolutely at work here. Everyone is susceptible and subjected to it. You need to fix that.

#Genuinely: purposefully making a non white character's skin look darker than you THINK it is will truly help with this #Because a lot of the time their skin IS darker. Your perception of them is just warped. #I say this with utmost sincerity #I got lucky because I only started drawing fanart after I'd already seen so many people discuss whitewashing in art #But I know for a fact and I actively remember when the conditioning of my father and my environments #Led me to believe lighter skin was more desirable and/or warped my perception of a character's skin tone #Even subconsciously when I was actively trying to unlearn it #You have to stop #Luis Serra Navarro #Luis Serra #Luis Babygirl Serra #serennedy #resident evil #Resident evil 4 remake #Resident evil 4 #Re4 #Re4 remake #Re4r #serrenedy #serrennedy #leonluis

saltburn and privilege; an investigative tangent

god, where to begin.

i've seen a lot of people discussing this moving and specifically using the word "privilege," along with power, dominance, desire, control, greed, etc. me included. these are all very essential aspects of this movie. what i want to focus on is emerald fennell's nuanced portrayal of how different types of privilege interact. which one trumps the other? which types of privilege are more visible, while others are more subtle? what differentiates different levels and layers of privilege?

when emerald fennell describes the core of this movie, her inspiration for this script, she talks about desire versus untouchability. she chose the most absurd type of wealth to represent untouchability: the british aristocracy. old wealth, generational wealth, so far removed from the majority of their ancestors' sins that they can arguably ignore that the money they're standing on is dirty. and they live in fucking castles. this is one of the most unbelievable, gaudy, visible types of privilege you can imagine. everyone is entirely aware and feels entirely justified to call attention to this type of privilege.

oliver, being the main character, might be considered the least privileged within this movie. i'd like to take a critical look at this. this movie is not a straightforward class commentary; there is no traditional "the poor eat the rich" dynamic. because although some people perceive oliver as the least privileged character in this movie, he is incredibly privileged. oliver comes from a comfortable upper-middle-class home in the suburbs. oliver has two loving parents and two sisters. oliver is white. oliver is a man. interestingly, from oliver's perspective, he's not privileged at all. he hates the cattons because they are more wealthy, more comfortable, more untouchable. this extends to venetia and farleigh, even though oliver has applicable layers of privilege stacked above even them. he knows he has a certain type of power over them... yet he still hates them because they have one type of power he doesn't have.

that brings me to my next point. the existence of one type of privilege does not negate the effects of another, entirely different, type of privilege (or marginalization) [quote]. this is what venetia and farleigh's characters draw attention to. venetia experiences some of the same struggles as many women; she is ignored in her own household, perpetually existing within her brother's shadow (rosamund pike once lovingly pointed out that venetia does not have a single conversation with elspeth in this movie). she's insecure about her body and her worth, so she takes what little opportunity she has to use felix's friends as a form of self-fulfillment. farleigh is not only half black, but he's also queer, non-immediate family, and unaccustomed to english culture (specifically this type of english culture). farleigh is, in some ways, more financially unstable than oliver's family because his mom was too sheltered to understand money and his dad is, apparently, "a lunatic." (that's not to say farleigh isn't economically privileged because oh boy, he absolutely is).

this movie doesn't intend to incite pity from the viewers for any of these characters, and it generally doesn't. oliver is pathetically greedy, ungrateful, and desperate for a chance to lick the boots (or bathtubs) of those above him. venetia is pathetically bored of the privilege she does have yet is still so entrenched in emotional turmoil due to other areas in which she is marginalized. farleigh is pathetically attached to uninterrupted comfort and arbitrary white-centric expectations, constantly running from or attacking any threat of struggle. none of these people understand, comparatively, what the less fortunate experience. they are so ignorant to the bubble they exist in and just how grateful they should be for what monumental privileges they do have. but... felix.

felix is the epitome of privilege. oliver is specifically obsessed with felix. just like oliver, felix is a white man. but felix is more wealthy, more comfortable, more untouchable than oliver. oliver isn't as infatuated with farleigh and venetia because he's fully aware of the privilege they lack. he's fully aware of the privilege he holds above them, and he enthusiastically uses this power he has against them. to be in the position of oliver is to be consumed by jealousy and greed so bottomless that you will assert your dominance over any group that you're able to. felix doesn't need to do this. he's been handed every privilege under the sun and therefor welcomes the less fortunate with childlike interest and an equally childlike attention span. there's an aspect of farleigh and venetia's marginalization that is so invisible, so quiet and unassuming, that felix doesn't even notice it. he can't possibly be confronted by it. to be in the position of oliver is to understand what power you hold over others, because there is always more power to have.

racism, sexism, wealth, power, control, desire. there are so many facets of this movie that come into play. it may seem overwhelming, but this is... how things work. commentary on wealth is, and should be, equally a commentary on other areas of privilege. to be black and wealthy means different things than to be white and wealthy. to be a wealthy woman means different things than to be a wealthy man. to be rich to some also means you're much less rich than others, unless you're the richest person in the world. and, as this movie so beautifully portrays, to be richer than most doesn't make you less messy. the catton family is an ugly one, but also a complexly human one. each catton (or start) is jealous of someone else for another reason. each catton is emotionally damaged or incompetent for another reason. each catton has a different layer of privilege over the other. and each catton loves everyone in saltburn, because this is still a family, albeit a terrible one.

#saltburn #saltburn 2023 #oliver quick #felix catton #venetia catton #farleigh start #elspeth catton #sir james catton #ahhh to be a rich white man #felix is portrayed as some godlike mythic creature for a reason #he's literally just a guy #oliver is also a rich white man #yet he sees someone more rich than him and starts frothing at the mouth #i know i said all the characters r pathetic but venetia and farleigh are a special kind of pathetic #i could genuinely see those two popping their little bubble and getting a grip #well vee is dead as hell #farleigh though. #or maybe hilton als was fully correct and farleigh will keep being the token non-white LMFAO #als was so real for that #i like to stay hopeful though

if i had a nickel for every movie i watched that starred rachel zegler and josh andres rivera featuring young adults fighting each other to the death in a story that condemns how society perpetuates and even encourages these violent tragedies that also had a fuckton of singing, i’d have two nickels.

#also rachel zegler’s character dated a white guy in both of them #west side story #west side story 2021 #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #rachel zegler #josh andres rivera #the music was very good btw #it was just rather surprising that this non-musical film had almost as much singing as the actual musical #…considering making a west side story hunger games au
