even after my hiatus, i still somehow reached 20k followers. that's a difficult number of people to wrap my head around.

thank you so much for being here. 💙

what is considered "beautiful" by society is inevitably sexist, racist, ableist, classist, transphobic, and bigoted. it targets and attacks any perceived difference, and it particularly villainizes women of color while co-opting aesthetics; as if features and cultural norms can be worn as accessories.

and the scary thing! you can see all of these things, know them to be true logically, and also know that you are treated better if you are perceived as beautiful. if you have ever been treated as "ugly", you know exactly how much society reviles you if you don't manage to scamper along and perform to their rules.

and how are you supposed to balance that? do you want a nose job to fix your broken nose, or have you just recently been seeing videos about how many people look better after nose jobs. do you want to lose weight to feel good, or is it that when you lose weight people treat you better. do you want to wear this outfit, or is it just the thing that's least likely to get you harassed. do you want to get lip injections for your reasons or is your whole reason that you don't feel beautiful unless you get those lip injections?

and the definitions shift. the goals get more specific. in the way that you only become aware of your tongue when someone mentions it; parts of your body are introduced as problems. i had never heard the term "hip dip" until about a year ago - and it was in the context of how to get rid of this. i'm 30, i know this shit is invented, and yet! i still find that strange voice saying but do you think someone is going to notice?

how the fuck am i supposed to say "this is my genuine choice i am making for my body" when i also know that years of my life have been spent socializing me to accept this as my inevitable fate? how do i know i'm actually doing this out of love for my body - or am i doing it for how i want others to see me, which will be lovely enough to feel loved? how am i supposed to recover when my unhealthy habits are seen as self-discipline but if i relax i'm openly mocked for "letting time win"? how the fuck am i supposed to say "i'm doing it for me" when i'm also very aware that i'm doing it to stop myself from being teased or demeaned? is it my choice if the other option is being bullied?

we are living in a hostage negotiation - either consent to the demands or spend the rest of your life being treated like you're a despicable person.

#i also have things to say about how gender plays into this #but it became like 1450 pages #so i saved the rest in a draft #btw? hip dips used to be like valued in the 90s & 2000s during the ultra thin craze #which is so fucking wild to me bc i am old enough to REMEMBER that people WANTED them #bc they're literally the shape of your bones. they're your hipbones showing. & you literally CANNOT 'target' that area #that would be like targeting your elbow. it's a fucking JOINT.#it is a place where you either do or do not carry mass. the lower ur bodyfat percent and the higher ur thigh & glute strength #the less that you will carry weight there #which is even MORE fucking cruel bc !!! the type of people who are already trying to improve themselves helplessly #are going to be aware of their body! and ur literally GIVING them an insecurity they LITERALLY do not decide!!!!#“it rounds out ur figure” here's something my guy! maybe people shouldn't have to look uniform and sleek !!!#maybe you just want to fuck a manatee !!!#if we're really at the point that you have to apologize for LITERALLY HAVING BONES.....#like sorry my legs had to connect somewhere in my form :( i will hide that from u. my apologies ur honor #(fashion bloggers gagging bc there's evidence other people have skeletons)

Sans Undertale cost me my run of Pantheon 4 in Hollow Knight

What a bastard /j /lh

alsdkjgldsjgds

This happened like a week ago and I'm still (silently) suffering the effects of "The Skeleton Appears"

I should replay/actually download and play and not just watch a playthrough of Undertale

Maybe after I beat the Pantheons alskdjglsdg

#Sammy8D art #Sans Undertale #Undertale #art dump #the skeleton appears #I took a look into the tumblr tags a few days ago and got immediately confused /lh #I remember when the fandom was first starting out #I was there for the ancient lore #It's both wild and comforting to see how much the fandom has evolved!#Sammy8D queues

So you’re telling me if some magical monster appeared from the folds of the universe and propositioned you for sex you wouldn’t have sex with it? Huh. Interesting.

#og #monster fucker #I had this thought earlier and I was like. hey. if some gigantic wolf fuck or some buck faced skeleton creature came out and it was swanging #yeah I’d like it shove that shit in me. and then I was like people wouldn’t do that? wild. it’s a once in a lifetime experience and this #creature is fully onboard like hell yeah it’s got slick?! even better

live action atla rewriting sokka to not be sexist because it's "problematic" and then priding itself for "more explicitly" showing the airbender genocide because the show only "alluded" to it...quite possibly the weirdest implications of what "progressive media" means that i've seen in a good while

#வார்த்தைகள்#like commentary is Bad unless it's minorities suffering?? which is apparently inherently regarded as Commentary??#also saying the genocide was only Alluded to is WILD when you see actual fucking skeletons in the original show.#like i wasn't expecting them to try and unpack the original show's orientalism in a cash-grab live action remake or anything but......#this is somehow worse than just ignoring the show's actual problems. LMAO

MAJOR outer wild spoilers

sometimes when i’m doing art of the nomai i momentarily remember that they’re not just a beautiful race that i love to draw all the time they actually died an agonizing death trapped in an alien solar system after trying their hardest to make the best of a bad situation before an uncaring universe wiped them out and that sobers me a little bit and then i go right back to drawing

#outer wilds is so cool but also like so fucking sad #like you can see the skeletons strewn around and there’s skeletons of children like fuck man #the soundtrack absolutely fucks hard and it’s so perfect for every scene #outer wilds #brought to you by: me overthinking about a video game while making art of that video game listening to music from that video game #i’m not obsessed or anything
