speaking of people's wrong opinions on art i love haikyuu's art development and its current style idc what ppl say about it

#not every mangaka needs to draw their characters like models sometimes they need to look a bit silly and match the overall tone #idk its sad that so many fans ignore how good furudate's shape language is like his stylization rlly pushed those formssssss ugh #also the faces got more variation it is so easy to tell hq characters apart even though hq rarely uses screen tones like its just bw #i also love how furudate draws old people he is so good at captivating the charm fo all ages ranges its sooooooo #i remember a few years ago i saw ppl complain about kuroo oikawa etc not being Pretty BOys anymore like i guess ut also it makes sm sense t #me #HQ is from HINATAS pov and i think characters like oikawa and kuroo looking goofier and less handsome/intimidating only highlights that the #become hinatas friends like theyre not these imposing seniors anymore those are his friends #i also like that they look and act their age i love that everone is pulling weird faces all the time #hq's visual comedy is just good in general esp with hinata and kageyama oughhhhh #haikyuu! art is great i think it plays such a big role in why its so beloved #even if not everyone likes it

hey folks. quick interest check.

i am currently taking an intro to diversity class! it's super interesting and i love how much i'm learning, but because it's asynchronous i actually. have not been able to get myself to read a lot of these papers that we're given. but i still want access to this info! so. i'm gonna download all of them into one nice file (which i will likely have to zip but yanno) so i can read them at my own pace. my question to you is as follows:

you can rb for sample size if u want i will not stop you but like. not a requirement lmao

#marzi speaks #polls #i'll be rbing this throughout the week n such #if u all would like access. i will find a way to use like dropbox or smth (gmail has my full name lmao) and get the zip file to you all :) #yeagh :] idk it's a lot of really good info and as someone who has been Intimidated by Where To Start in my own diversity studies #i think it'd be nice to have like. a bunch of papers that introduce these sorts of concepts and source OTHER papers on the subject #which can lead u down a research rabbithole #ya !!! that's all :) i think accessible information is cool and would like to get it to ppl

anyways i think ive posted this before but the ADL and whatever "rational wiki" is (heard something negative abt it once idk what its about but) both have good index's on dogwhistles to look out for, of course for some things its hard to tell but take context clues and if they use a bunch of other dogwhistles into consideration if you suspect someone is alt right, also consider that some people are essentially taught this stuff w/o context of what it really means sometimes and might just use dogwhistles bc they dont know any better (thinking of minors here mostly). either way gauge for yourself if its safe enough to stick around to find out.

#dogwhistles #theres plenty of other websites i could link but i linked rational wiki specifically bc their index is bigger and includes more #niche internet dogwhistles than the adl one does. #that could also be because a lot of those niche internet dogwhistles are intentionally made with plausible deniability so the ADL #doesnt wanna list them lest they get accused of being paranoid or some shit. idk. #but i *will* say- some of these things isolated- like liking runes and pine trees.... i dont think is enough to work off of #(mostly speaking for myself on that last one bc i love pine trees and i used to like runes but never saw it in That way......) #and also some ppl are trying to reclaim pepe. esp since the guy who made it hated that neo nazis took him and did this to him #so ppl try to reclaim it. that also requires context to sleuth out if someones using it as a dogwhistle or not #in fact bc so many leftists were reclaiming pepe they decided to make a new one called a 'groyper' which is like. an obvious telltale sign #that person is a neo nazi if theyre using that one. #i also think its worth mentioning that theres a certain subsection of internet leftists who like to use these internet alt righters #terms to lure them in to truth and reality (see: vaush) it's like a meeting them at their level of understanding thing #it also shows them that you're not intimidated by their 'Secret Language' and can see it for what it is so if they try it on you #you can still counter them. so once again context matters. like if vaush is talking about someone 'hiding their power level' its him #acknowledging that thats a term they use in reference to hiding how deep in the rabbithole they are and making fun of them for that fact #bc theres something so inherently sad and funny about being that self aware that you're deranged that you gotta have a phrase you #use to hide it lmao. #not saying its great but. it seems to work at least to some degree in deconverting ppl from the alt right

Hi I hope this question makes sense but how would I call out friends use of what might be aave? Im worried about being wrong and it not being aave/sounding like a white knight but I dont want to ignore it.

Hi! And no, you’re fine. If you’re not black, it’s always best to look up terms and listen to what black people say to begin with, that’s the most important thing and if you’ve seen black people talk about a specific term that you might recognize as being aave, simply let your friends know that they shouldn’t really be using such terms in the first place since at this point, viewed as antiblack and micro aggressive because Black people have grown tired of having to talk about this same problem over and over again. Especially when they use such terms directed at Black people. If they continue to use the terms despite being told not to, then you already know what they are.

#I won’t deem everyone who isn’t black a full blown racist for continuing to use aave but it does show that they don’t respect us at all #and that being merely told about how harmful and uncomfortable it is for them to continue on using them while ignoring what black #people are always saying about such topics… well 🗿 #meh #anonymous #tkf replies #what can you do #people still make fun of how black peoples talk but as soon as our terms go viral and turned into stupid internet slang all of a sudden #there are white kids and nbs from the suburbs and across the world running them into the ground and misusing them like hell #and in the same manner #they don’t even realize that they just end up embarrassing themselves in the same way old people try to act ‘hip’ and with the times by #using slang #it’s very… #this is literally how it looks to black people whenever nbs and white folks use it #it’s just very uncomfortable #and it’s even worse when you have them explaining terms and adding their own twists and definitions to terms that they never understood to #begin with #it’s rather unsightly lol #makes me cringe #sometimes I don’t even say shit anymore because I’d see mutuals use aave and I’d go ‘um…. 🧍🏾‍♀️?’ like it’s so… #it always comes back to nbs and whites thinking that the way that black people talk is “’funny’ and when they want to act tough irl or over #the internet they start throwing out all sorts of aave terms like a baby learning it’s first words #the most incomprehensible string of words pulled together in hopes of appearing either ‘cool’ or ‘intimidating’ #it’s… 👎🏾 #funny thing is #the lot of these people don’t even have black friends or talk to black ppl in rl #a lot of them act like they’re afraid of us for some reason and would pull a 60’s white woman crossing the street so fast but be on the #internet talking about some ‘don’t get caught lackin!’ like oh brother #you get how this sounds right 😭!? it’s ridiculous

been a couple weeks but finally updated my lifesteal s4 playlist. yay! now those videos at the end are where they need to go!

#im considering making a pared down version of the playlist at some point by just removing some of the bonus stuff (commentary clips etc) #bc it does look intimidating esp as the number of videos climbs higher #but in general i think its more useful to have just abt everything in one spot & give ppl the option to skip around if they want #be grateful i didnt add everything from every single vods channel /h #/j* #bearvocalizations

[alsoyooraiyah]

i feel like this comm im working on is like. teaching me a lot more than i expected it to

#like things when it comes to process etc etc #might need to talk to trad painters and ppl with workflows similar to mine #to ask abt how they handle working with someone esp if they typically #dont use lines to start off? #however i also kinda think that its just something to do with me not really being used to rendering more than a portrait #or a landscape #so maybe all i need to do is do it more often and see where it goes #this is also great for making me brave abt this over comm thats been intimidating me bc its much bigger in scope shsjaja lord

[cherrysnax]

I think i sound very uh flat n monotone normally, but a lot of ppl disagree.. my perception of my self is sooo skewed

#talked to cjs sister for the first time and she went on abt my voice and it’s weird because to me #I sound like a teenaged boh #*boy mixed with pinkie pie on a good day #either that or it’s giving like. weird seductress rouge the bat grown man #very gender if I say so myself #I’ve been drawing myself a lot more so the way I perceive my self is literally changing by the second #do people notice i deepen my voice the first time we talk #do they notice how I balance on one foot #do they notice the accidental like. ci #*vocal mimicry I do? ch was telling me abt the things they love abt my body because I was being silly and self hating #and it’s weird that the things we r both insecure abt are just things that like. make us us? idk #bad wording. cj could totally change everything new aesthetic new clothes new body type idk they would become my standard for beauty because #they already r. my type is her #I worry if I lose or gain weight if I change my hair again if I change aesthetics or go father into grad goth shit if they’ll find me ugly #but. I don’t think they will #I’ve gained lost changed done all the big changes looks perocnaliyy wise #and I consistinely feel loved and wanted #sorry rambling abt my gf over #ppl sometimes tell me I’m intimidating or rlly nice #strangers call me lovely #loved ones call me everything in between #I see myself as a wretched ugly creature that won’t chnage no matter how much I pull my body around #but maybe that’s not entirely true #but also I like pretending to be a nonhuman creature because it’s fun and dehumanization is okay when I do it

i'm fully about leaving people be and not judging other people's routines at the gym

but if you've ended up making a Contraption, you should have figured out several steps ago that you've gone off the rails

#please don't tie two weighted gym sticks together with jump rope #i know you're doing a bodyweight routine and the weight room is intimidating as a concept #but this gym sees 80% elderly people #and barbells were made for exactly the purpose you need #bodyweight routines tend to recommend doing your deadlifts with proper weights for a reason #please i am trying to do my stretches and the calisthenics room is the only proper place for it #(i blame the stark bullshit gendering of exercise for making ppl think they can't use the actual tools for their exercise)

[humanitysong]

right,,, i forgot this is a new fandom so I might introduce myself a bit more & hope people are less intimidated !

hi I am vivi, your probably-not-so-local jewish NB. I collect soft & tragic characters doomed by the narrative like pokemon cards & adore pastel colors. I have watched titanic 14 times & cried 15 times about it - one time just by seeing the trailer -

I was the kinda kid who got bullied at school for reading too much but jokes on everyone I am a librarian now - so btw if you need book recs I can do that. literally my job but I also never shut up about books - ( the greenhollow duology is a lovely short queer romance fantasy story with cottage & faecore vibes ) .

I may at times be quiet but that's usually cause I am in a different timezone compared to most ( GMT+1 ) also I am just bad at keeping contact over dumblr & prefer discord but even there I get tired quickly bcs of chronic pain issues. so please don't be intimidated, I promise you I am probably just as shy, like my habit of talking too much & suddenly nothing bcs I am just that kinda shy is... real bad.

I've learnt to just assume it regardless, but I hate SO MUCH posts that are "helpfully" letting you know that hey X is free! don't use Y when there's Z widely available at no price whatsoever!!! (even worse when it's guilt-trippy) and then you check X and Z out and they only either exist or work in North America. which was said nowhere in the original post or the 5 chained reblogs and nowhere in the first 30 replies.

like aight. I'll go fuck myself then. apparently the US is the only country that exists for you to not include that vital piece of information in your posts.

"I can't recommend enough-" You can. Your post was unhelpful and incomplete.

#IM SALTY TONIGHT #just saw like two dozen ppl recommend LIBRARIES HAVE FREE EBOOKS USE LIBBY!!! #not in italy they dont. #ughhh #kinda wanna go to the library. ive always been too intimidated to use the big one #theres a childrens library next to it which ive been to a few times growing up #my anxiety is better tho i should get a card n ask if they have english books #anyways. us-centric ppl that are unaware they are so us-centric tick me off #except if theyre my friends because my friends could never upset me with simple naivete #also i think im just salty cus im hungry. ill go grab dinner #Charlie chatters

need to start doing shit by myself like going to the movies. alone.

#need to bite the bullet and just not gaf that I’m going alone to things #that’ll be a small step .. don’t think I can reach going to concert alone levels but like .. smaller things #shopping is easy to do alone but idk even eating in a cafe/restaurant alone irks me out bc I feel like everyone is looking at me .. #but that’s so incorrect?? #eating in a food court alone is intimidating but also not too bad .. #FJKSDHSJ I need to stop over thinking and just embrace being alone #I’m finding it rlly hard to maintain the friendships I had in high school and am starting to question whether it ks useful or meaningful to- #-keep the friendships going #so as I enter that transitional period of like .. losing all my old friends I think I need to start doing things Alone but Happily #like I’m also sick of asking ppl to hang out a me or attend stuff with me #I don’t want to keep initiating this stuff anymore #that is .. the few times I do LOL
