I think people should be offered mental health alternatives before considering tattoos. Piercings as well. Only someone who's sick in the head would consider altering their body in such a dangerous way. Even adults should be forced to go through a two year psych evaluation before they're even presented with the option to get any kind of facial piercing.

I mean the possibility of nerve damage alone. Anyone who would be willing to undergo the risk of full facial paralysis MUST be some kind of mentally ill pervert freak.

youre being satirical but what you dont know is "is getting a tattoo a form of self harm" was a discourse on radblr a few months ago, where some people agreed that therapy should be offered before people get tattoos or at least if theyre getting a lot of them

#and i did not participate in this discourse but ARE THEY WRONG THO 😭😭 #look at frank.. man covered chin to toe in tattoos and openly admits to being a masochist. unprompted #theres something to it dhjdkskhd #and many ppl do advocate for taking tattoos and the risks they pose much more seriously... #some ppl definitely get a lot of tattoos bc of an underlying insecurity w their body.... #ultimately it comes down to how dangerous is the thing. #tattoos are not that dangerous. top surgery is more dangerous. bottom surgery is very dangerous. #the more dangerous something is the more seriously it needs to be taken and the more informed & prepared ppl need to be #ask #anonymous #sorry thay most of my reply was in tags. i got stuck here

idk how conservatives and other bigots can ever think that more diversity = less safe of a community. the more queer, interracial, and muslim a community, the safer i feel. like how can you not see a whole load of people from different cultures and lives peacefully vibing in the same area minding their own buisness and NOT go 'oh thank god theres some level of tolerance here I can just be myself and not have to be constantly on edge all the time bc of it'

#obv its not perfect but lemme tell you norcal so far feels a lot safer than socal #probs bc theres less wealthy republican texans fucking everywhere griping about 'mexican gangs' #aka the people who naturally fucking live there #i mean theres probably a bias going on for me too bc theres a lot of muslim women wearing covers here and that = family in my brain #and theres a lot of openly trans queer folk here (more than socal) #but still #i saw an older trans woman walk into the library today humming peacefully and instantly felt safe #most of the people here are brown or asian #everyone respects my pronouns and accepts them without a blimk #its fucking great so far

The Winter Knight

slow-building urban fantasy mystery

reincarnated arthurian legends living in modern Vancouver

follows a gay autistic college student who’s the reincarnation of sir gawain who just wants to live a normal life

and a 30-something valkyrie woman

when a knight is murdered, she’s assigned to investigate, and he’s pulled into things after finding the body

m/m and pre-f/f (she is bi ace)

#The Winter Knight #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is.....interesting #it is very slow and introspective…. I think because both the main characters are more quiet/isolated #i would def go into it more from a character study perspective than plot #also i know there are buildings on the cover but the vibes of the cover give like….rural fantasy not urban-city fantasy #I feel like most urban fantasy books with modern versions of x y z have them like…..they’re fighting demons or monsters or something #this is just like. they’re existing? there’s the occasional monster but they’re mostly just people living normally. why #I guess probably that is the question the book is trying to answer.. #(ie what Would they do? recreate the narratives they're doomed to repeat? or just live normal boring lives?) #but also like....there could have been a lot more (or different) done with some of it? #it’s very slow up until a final battle at the end. which also brings in 3 new POVs of various major characters briefly? #also. as the number one defender of pop culture references in books I admit I think there’s too much here #like it’s namedropping books and musicians/songs SO often #some of it feels like it could be music as wayne’s special interest - but there’s so much of it not in that context too #anyway something about the combo of that + slowquiet tone made the vibe feel. idk like it doesn't quite mesh #i did enjoy the characters tho? theres some interesting things in here #also yes it is a gawain/green knight romance #the boy is more of a significant mc tbh #+ trans girl major characters; polyam side characters; various other queer chars #there's a line where a character sees his friend “typing in pinyin characters” on her phone which....... #pinyin is the romanisation. pinyin characters is not a thing? SOMEONE editing should have clocked that. surely #tldr mixed thoughts. there are thoughts tho.

maybe I'm just a hater but how come metal remixes/covers are always the blandest metal ever

#most ive listened to have just been the tamest of tame symphonic metal and like. cmon. wheres ur sense of adventure #i like symphonic metal dmgw but theres more out there #and most of the time the covers r just like. the song but with electric guitar and slightly heavier drums. come on.

[marcsnuffy]

I like that Ego and Noa's designs contrast yet parallel each other somewhat

#dark hair&eyes/light hair&eyes #actually ego always has dark eyes except for his cover #where they're light gray/white #ego's always wearing black with minor white details (his belt and his football tie) #while noa wears more colorful clothes. usually #it's either a team's uniform or baggy clothes (bllk tracksuit and his outfit in the brief flashback when ego mentioned he grew up poor) #in general #characters whose faces are obscured tend to be slightly mysterious/less open #it's a visual shorthand right? #at least before you know what they're about it works #like with nagi who has his eyebrows obscured which makes his #expressions less readable which combined with his disheveled hair should give the viewer the impression that he's lazy+monotone #same with niko the first time we meet him #and i can name many other examples like theres a lot of characters in which the opposite is true #like reo shidou barou and sendou (lots of ous) all have hair that frames their face and they're all pretty expressive #despite all that #noa and ego go against this a bit #noa's face is completely unobscured #and he has like. 4 expressions at most. #(sae is a bit like this too where he goes from bangs to no bangs but his expressions become a lot more monotone) #meanwhile ego has the bangs (eyebrows nowhere to be seen) and glasses combo #and he's deranged we know this #something somehing his mouth being the most visible part of his face something something the things he says to bluelockers affects them and #the story #wait i just saw a pic of that moment where he bends himself back during his speech my god he doesn't have eyebrows... #not having eyebrows adds Something when ur making deranged expressions #like mia goth as pearl. gaara. ego & of course snuffy #look at him smiling during the star exchange bit he looks insane (affectionate) #i ran out of tag space. i should've written all this in the post 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #txt

torn bc on one hand i fully understand how much it sucks to watch a movie you enjoy get unfairly panned but on the other hand its deeply embarrassing to watch someone die on the cross to defend a mediocre massive budget studio tentpole movie from getting middling reviews.

#like illumination and nintendo dont need you going to war to do free pr for their cash grab movie i hope you know this. #avpost #yeah this is currently about super mario but it has happened many times in the past couple years #theres more nuance if its a smaller budget and/or independent movie tbh #but i think if a movie has over a year of buildup and hype and is one of the most highly covered releases of the season #you dont need to like. get up in arms and rant about negative or even just middling reviews. yknow.

birthday doodle dump

#bonk.png #undescribed #<- its like almost 1 am as i type this tag im not adding ids to them atm #first image was drawn literally as i was turning 19 to pass time n to lament that i cant go to lesbian bars yet #second image is from september i drew the red doodles when i first downloaded the app im now using on my phone #n the first one i drew there was two match melodys (the one with a square head n line on her face) the second og match doodle is covered by #cordelia cause she is what the text says (cause i just drew her shape n then didnt draw on clothes cause my battery was low) #then theres a raz doodle my psn oc aster (still havent fully worked out her design) another match melody n then kucumber (green haired girl) #who is also the first doodle in the third image so nice i drew her twice anyway most of the doodles on the third image are cause #i was feeling nostalgic n looking through my deviantart gallary (i dont remember my password n its been years since i used it) #so theres kucumber willow (the two red doodles one of which is mostly covered up) n then redraws OF redraws #first is doggirl i redrew her more based off of her og design than her first redesign cause i liked the colors there more #the green horse is sour tart whos a redesign of one of my very first ocs (og name lightening heart. she was a nothing burger. sad ✌️) #n then ''cordelia'' again the second horse is positioned there cause i didnt like the rest of the doodle n then i remembered that i could #just delete the lower half so i did that 👍👍 #second horse is speckled sweets they n sour tart are besties and are also both next gen fcs 😭 sour tart's parents are undecided atm #but shes an apple n speckled sweets is the kiddo of pinkie n sunburst (pinkie n cheese have an ever expanding polycule for design fun) #fourth image has mallow (cat girl also from my deviant) drew her entirely from memory so her design n colors are slightly off #nervous girl who is just a half redraw of a character i made in the pastel friends(?) app #and neptune whos from like a half story i made back in like 2020? n its like one of my older stories that i look back at n makes me go #''hey. whats ur problem??'' while still mostly remembering what i was thinking making it cause it wasnt that long ago #so! neptune's story thing is like a weird supernatural phenomenon happens while shes driving n causes her to crash #n once she wakes up shes like invisible to everyone n is confused as hell cause when she walks to get help (cause her phone was broken in th #crash n she has no noticeable injuries) no one responds to her cause yknow invisible until one person does who is. her psychic ex she had a #falling out with. not great but saturn is the only person who can see her n unintentionally causes neptune to freak out cause oh shit only #SATURN who is a PSYCHIC can see me rn am i dead?? but no shes fine neptune is just like halfway between the human plane n ghost(?) plane #they have like a weird thing going on cause neptune is stuck at their house n theres no solution to neptune's situation #cause saturn is like the weakest of the psychics in their family n the rest of their family is off all over the place dealing with the #varying fallout of the phenomenon that caused neptune's situation (she was the only one who got like halfwayies) #so saturn n neptune are stuck together alone waiting for one of saturn's family members to come home

Probably one of the most unfortunate things about RWBY is, for all it's inclusion of characters of color, there's no real cultural identity behind any of it

Outside of names, what is there to identify Yang or Ren or Sun as Asian? Other than skin tone, what marks Emerald as a Black woman? What marks Maria as hispanic besides her surname and clothes loosely inspired by Dio de los Muertos?

The few times crwby genuinely tried to tie these things together have ended in total failure. Flynt Coal is so unambiguously Black that his weapon and design are just Jazz... and that's his entire character. The Black One to counter our White Hero for 4.2 minutes, then claim he digs her style, thus negating every relevant real-world implication of a large, wealthy white family driving small time entrepreneurs of color out of business

Every single attempt at inclusion is through such a glaringly White lens that it's no wonder that people often mistake Sun or Ironwood as white despite being named after a Chinese deity or being modeled after their Asian VA. And that's so disappointing in ways I don't think I could ever truly put into words

#rwde #idk man #im thinking abt how all my ancestors cultures have been boiled down to nothing but White and im fucking mad #i cant even imagine how it must be on the other side #my cultures were erased to appease a power structure my ancestors wanted an in to but other folks had theirs STOLEN #to have your identity stolen then repackaged to you in the most insincere way possible by idiots who think they know best #its a disgrace unlike any other #anyway this is a v long winded way of saying please let other cultures have a chance in fantasy/sci fi settings #let black characters have kinky hair and cornrows and african specific jewelry like the lip gauges and gold neck rings #let asian characters be more than aesthetics and ramen and wisdom spouting gurus #and also remember asia is a big fucking continent so theres a myriad of cultures under the Asian name w lots of history and conflict #we are well beyond the point of pinning all Asian rep on one character a la Hikari Sulu #also also remember that indigenous people EXIST #and they exist beyond bandit stereotypes or as nObLe SaVaGeS #also middle eastern folks could def use some rep beyond evil terrorists and helpless victims in need of rescue (by americans!!1!) #this doesnt even cover shit like religious or disabled or queer cultures- all of which have rich complicated histories that affect today #there are so many things to consider when building a world from scratch and they did absolutely NOTHING AHHHHHHHHH

You know the more i think about it the more i absolutely believe blondie lockes would be the one most likely to just straight up kill someone

#funnily enough cupid is probs her competitor for that title #theres a couple more students who might but like #i also look at them and think that they wouldnt actually be able to do the act in the end #like lizzie would send them off to be executed by someone else #ramona is a maybe but i just cant see it personally because shes like secretly bad girl with a heart #i think kitty would at least be able to understand how fuvked up actually killing someone with her own hands is #absolutely believe she could cause indirect death tho like tricking you into walking off a cliff #but like blondie #i can see her walking in covered in blood and just happily munching on a cupcake in her kitchen #shes that fucking crazy #but shes like a secretive crazy bitch which means i think shes more likely to be the most fucking violent?? #and cupid well shes an immortal fucking greek bitch raised by the greek gods. #i would think shes use to murder at this point in her life? #like you would have to piss her off big time for her to kill you but like she fucking wouldnt hesitate #hmmm #accidentally turning blondie and cupid into murder girlfriends #funny enough i already joked about them planning murder in a different post #but now im thinking #fuck theyre actually the most likely bitches to just straight up kill someone #hi welcome to my blog where i only talk about sex and apparently murder now whoops

the nature of following tumblr user moth-mart is that in the middle of the convenience store that sells exclusively insects from the order lepidoptera a lore dump will be posted and i will drop everything to ask "HARPIES?????"

NNBMGMNVJDJSDJSJ HARPIES!!

#God buddied a harpy in hell & when ve made it big ve brought her and the other harpies up to heaven #theyre archreapers and do most of said reaping. stylus is the head/grim reaper and tends to only #handle special cases #theyre more animalistic in nature and dont speak/only make chittering and chirping esque noises #theres a whole room in heaven dedicated to them and its like this room with a neverending ceiling #you know in horror movies/scary scenes when they send a light down a dark cave and it reveals the walls are covered with creatures? #vnjsj yeah thats the harpy room #sonaverse #lore dump

ive inherited a copy of lolita from my parents (i.e. i stole it from the library in our basement and started treating it like its mine) with the 1989 vintage international cover and i think its actually not that bad. better than the 50th anniversary one with the lips anyway imo (which is the cover for the library ebook vers ive checked out).

like i think any cover that incorporates the "only convincing love story of our generation" quote anywhere kind of sucks on principle, and the fact that it features a photo of a girl at all really goes against nabakovs instructions, but compared to other covers that break those two rules, the haziness of the photo creates a really evocative atmosphere i feel matches the book more or less.

#im keeping most of my lolita thoughts to myself because i know it can be an uncomfortable book to talk about when #not intentionally trying to engage with it but. good lord ive highlighted a lot! #mostly stuff where H.H. is being a lying little bastard even in his narration #theres also this passage in ch14 after he um. 'stole the honey of a spasm' when dolores sat on his lap (not a fun passage to read lol!) #where he goes: What I had madly possessed was not she‚ but my own creation‚ another‚ fanciful Lolita—perhaps‚ more real than Lolita; #overlapping‚ encasing her; floating between me and her‚ and having no will‚ no consciousness—indeed‚ no life of her own. #(end quote. forgot quotation marks) which ohhhhh my god. subtlety is for losers lmao. #H.H. IS VERY VERY BAD AT MAKING HIMSELF LOOK GOOD DESPITE HIS BEST EFFORTS. #he claims he memorized charlottes confession of love perfectly and had conveyed in on paper perfectly #but also he completely skipped parts of it (including where she talks about her late son) and inserted the line: #'you would be a criminal--worse than a kidnapper who rapes a child.' #yes. im sure she said that. to the letter. #or when hes like i didnt marry charlotte with the intention to (extremely detailed grusome murder plan). but ill admit. i thought about it. #and then she oh so conveniently gets run over by a car when she discovers his journal. yeah. sure. right. #SORRY again i havent been Posting My Thoughts on it but i am having thoughts on it in general. #it really is a beautifully worded book though. its got great prose. makes the actions worse almost because its filtered through this #dreamy artistic self-justification. which - to go back to the original point of this post - i feel this cover conveys well LMAO #its so much better than the movies oh my god head in my hands #jumping between the most 2008 musical to ever exist‚ legally blonde fanfiction‚ and a controversial literary classic. im versatile.

All the kazui stuff will be announced soon 🥰 my final bets for the cover song are Neo-Neon, Relationship Scramble, Fakery Tale or Psuedo-Hope Syndrome

#chernikocore #kazuiloveposting #theres alot of songs i think he could cover... if its on my kazu playist im counting it as a win #ghost rule would also be a good one but seeing as its decos most popular song #im assuming they're gonna save it for the next trial and probs for a more popular character;;

im glad that despite being on the backburner for . years. i can still think of my main aus like i never stopped :] kh on the brain forever

#looked thru one of my note for the pmd au and immediately got new ideas for it . i am so fucking back #made me wanna expand whats going on w Terra n Aqua since they dont have much going on besides. well. be legendaries basically #(they take the roles of rescue team Groudon n Kyogre as well as Latios n Latias in psmd. n technically also Entei for Terra in psmd) #that seems like a lot but i know what im doing i swear 👍 #maybe i should find a way to include the khdr kids since i havent gotten to that yet.. could be fun #oh ! also been working on ways to connect Terra w Ansem n Xemnas :] probably gonna be more canon-esque than most other things #but it kinda works w the rescue team part of the timeline #and i really need to figure out how exactly to work around Xehanort bc of what he can and does do both in canon and taking his role here.. #ironically these things are also backed up by pmd iq groups . now that i think abt it #i also need yo do more work on the psmd part of the timeline since its arguably the most altered part so far #since i dont really cover gates or rescue team anyway . explorers and super just connect a lil too well #i mean tbf gates and super are way too easy to also connect to each other bc like. come on. #but who would be the duo for that .. or maybe it could be earlier in the pmd timeline than it is .. hm. #that Could line up a something else i have planned actually. could be funky. theres two (2) different duos i have in mind #maybe more depending on who else i could slap in here #ok yeah. i have objectively the funniest duo to put in gates. thats happening now <3
