I have way better serious fanart i want to make but i had this very silly idea stuck in my head when i was trying to figure out how to draw rosalie's horns, so @wetcatspellcaster I hope you don't mind this silly little sketch,, rosalie has given me brainworms (affectionate)

#trying to find scenes to draw for these fics is so hard because??? there's just so many iconic ones? in all of them???? #truly frustrating #other's ocs #my art #sketches #also i am so shy about posting art every single time i do i think i experience heart palpitations so...... #not pictured: the version of this universe where this works! #also sorry i am rambling in the tags i must say she is quite relatable i fear! #truly the rosalieverse is iconic #im gonna run and hide now before i delete this

my laundromat changed the war that do the dryers so now they only dry for 10min at a time and it's INCREDIBLY IRRITATING

#I've had to start the dryer 3 times bc the first time i didn't notice #and the second time i assumed 20min would be enough #so now we're on dry 3 :'))) #one load was good at 20min so hopefully the other 2 loads will be good at 30 #truly frustrating #doesnt help that I'm hungry #shh ac

i love how whenever i watch an old race f1tv will only recommend me race highlights from the 2022 season, but when i watch old testing replays it gives up and recommends me the weirdest unrelated replays

#wiggles overshares #like 2021 preseason testing (makes sense) #2022 SPN F3 quali and free practice (??) and F2 quali (??) #like i know testing is in barcalona but surely. testing replays from the smae year would make sense . #i dont want to have to go back and crawl through the many testing replays to find the afternoon session for the morning one i was watching #anyways f1tv sucks at recommended videos. like ill be watchign 2007 Australian GP and itll go: oh you want to watch Baku 2022? Japan 2021? #COTA 2022? #truly frustrating

the years dont face me until i realize mangas/novels i was reading in 2015 are already finished and they have an anime/shows that are also finished with more than 3 seasons.

#it’s like a slap on the face #like so many mangas that are now popu bc of their anime and im like 🧍🏻‍♀️ #truly frustrating #idk how they end and the fact that everyone knows now and not me drives me insane #bc i was one of those people who waited for a chapter every week or month u see. i was OBSESSED #but then life happened and its been 5 years and idk anything #and i hate that i dont know but i need time to re read everything bc i remember so little #but i dont have timeeee #😭 #i just watch telenovelas viejitas and kdramas now bc they are so easy to watch #but re read snk or mb to remember what the fuck was happening ??? Truly too much #hell i waited every month to read mb100 by ONE like not even the manga #And like hell i remember where i left it #i would have to re-read it all 💀 #and yes im saying reading bc i was the annoying type that read the manga first and then watched the anime.

Considering that there’s another post going around that lands on this conclusion, I think it deserves its own succinct post:

When transmascs share instances of positivity to remind each other that the way we are treated isn’t all bad, it’s then used as proof of the whole of transmasc experiences being this way, and that transmascs are not oppressed as a whole.

When transmascs share instances of harm done to transmascs to raise awareness that transmascs are harmed directly within our societies, it’s used as proof that we are taking up too much room in conversations because the harm we face “isn’t bad enough”.

When transmascs share instances of outright murder of members of our community to show that no, transmasc issues are not somehow “lesser” because “we aren’t dying” because we are dying, it’s used as proof that we are trauma dumping and trying to make other people feel sorry for us—look at these AFABs being whiny and hysterical and trying to portray themselves as victims. Or that it isn’t specific enough to us so we should shut up and let other people speak for us.

Transmascs cannot speak about our experiences without being touted as an example of why transmascs as a whole should shut up.

This is erasure.

#my post #noooo I didn’t just make this post because I don’t want to interact with that other post because of personal hangups that no one else #should have about the post. truly it’s entirely a Me and My Personal Situation thing #the post is fine #I just was a little frustrated about how much I wanted to reblog and also like #not interact with it at all at the same time #so I made this post #shhhhh #transandrophobia #transmisandry #anti-transmasculinity #erasure through silencing

what's so refreshing about will as a character is that he doesn't throw a denial tantrum about it at any point like most characters with Darkness Within Them do. he's not a moral paragon, his angst and secretkeeping don't get annoying at any point. and i think it's because there's no contrast between who will Really Is, which is Good and True, and the dark king as his shadow or his dark self.

will is the dark king. he behaves like the dark king. he lies and he manipulates and he's a "sneak" and he's scaringly charming and he's possessive over james and a ton of other messed up shit and he tells himself it's for a good reason, and maybe it is!! and will is clearly you know. a Good Person. while his methods are sneaky, he does not actually do anything wrong. but those are his methods still, and they are cool moments and badass and also kind of eerie.

with the way he's written, i would argue will doesn't have or even need a corruption arc, he's just like that from the get-go and he's not gonna change. and i don't mean he was born evil or whatever other bullshit i mean that he was born a full person, including the dark king and will both, and there's complexity, but no clear line separates them.

#it's fascinating truly #i'm really glad we get a more full view of his psyche in dark heir even if there's a lot of stuff he's repressing #dark rise #dark heir #dark heir spoilers #will kempen #and maybe. i won't even agree with this by the time the 3rd book comes out #and that's rlly frustrating bc i hate not having the full picture of anything before i have an opinion #but that's part of the fun of it i guess

For some reason, there’s nothing on earth more infuriating than mischaracterization of your favorite robin

#specifically the robins is a special kind of anger #because. mischaracterization happens to characters all the time and it’s always frustrating but for ROBINS specifically it is more than that #because when YOUR robin is being fatally misunderstood and given his or her brother’s personality it is truly white knuckle blinding rage #robin #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #stephanie brown #damian wayne #this is about all of them

That feeling when he can't stand to see you that way, no matter what you do, no matter what you say😩😭💔

#scott pilgrims precious little life #scott pilgrim vs the world #spvtw #spto #scott pilgrim #wallace wells #lisa miller #scollace #kim pine #natalie adams #envy adams #don't rlly know if I like how this turned out but oh well;;; #hope its obvious that this is based on the song “Scott Pilgrim” which the creation the comics were inspired from #the lyrics always make me think of Wallace and Lisa's feelings for Scott every time I hear it #ofc you could also relate it to Kim especially since the singers voice kind of reminds me of her #but overall the lyrics fit these two much better since Scott never truly “saw them that way” despite how long they've liked him #and they always seem happier to see him compared to Kim #Im surprised tho that I havent yet seen anyone draw these two together now that their dialogue parallels have been acknowledged more lately #also tho I wish more people pointed out that they both got cucked by red heads LOL #and Kim and Envy actually do look really similar when scott first meets them #makes me wonder if Scott subconsciously went for Envy since she reminded him of Kim (which would be fitting given that you could argue that #Envy dated Scott because he reminded her of Todd. Since he and Scott are confirmed to be meant to be seen as similar to one another #so much so that even their first and last names rhyme #last thing I'll add tho is that while Wallace and Lisa are very similar even personality wise #the one big difference is that despite that whole conclusion on vol4 of Scott not cheating on Ramona with Lisa because he loves her #the writers apparently think it would be “organically correct” for him to have an affair with wallace LMAO #but I guess we shouldn't be surprised since Wallace and Ramona are both in the front of the official valentines art which is clearly #a deptiction of Scotts wet dream or smth (oh and you could also argue that Wallace and Lisa parallel on that art since they're both #shirtless with white socks.. which could be a reference to how lisa wears skimpy clothes for Scott and Wallace often only wears boxers #to like sexually frustrate Scott for fun or smth

no but honestly I'm not usually here for jealous behaviour, but I want Eddie to be foaming at the mouth at the thought of Buck losing his guy virginity to someone else, I want him possessive and bitter and ready to cut a bitch because he did not work to babytrap that man for literal years just for him to go sit on someone else's dick

#buddie #i love mess #them fucking nasty would be hilarious actually #5 plus years of pent up frustration that neither of these himbos truly understood until they suddenly get hit over the head with it

I wish people would stop adding qualifiers and caveats to why RWBY isn't perfect and just embrace it's a good show that deserves to be continued.

#ccyy talks #I'm sorry I am just frustrated by the constant need to give reasons why it's not good #IT IS #no show is perfect NONE #and that is truly okay #life is better when you enjoy things without the need to always have qualifiers and caveats #might delete cause this isn't my brand of complaining #just hate seeing something I love ALWAYS shit on from all sides

[layzeal]

actually i think we don't talk enough about how insane it is that xue yang was controlling song lan's undead body while his spirit was entirely aware of it but unable to stop it

#he spoke sizhui........... #he answered truthfully......... #he knew what was being done to him #and for the first time in years someone was able to listen #though still frustrating in a way because imagine finally being able to speak #while you know these poor children are in danger #but only being capable of answering things you were specifically questioned #truly “i have no mouth and i must scream” type of vibe #modao #mdzs #lace speaks

the more I read about contemporary homophobic laws globally the more it becomes apparent that there is basically a 1:1 direct relationship between whether a country was under historic British rule and how many anti-sodomy laws they currently have on the books. like I knew this in a general sense but not the staggering degree to which this was the case. and I know this probably isn’t really shocking especially given how insanely anti-trans the UK is right now but it’s kind of insane to see just how much homophobia is a comprehensively global export of the British

#also not suggesting that it’s a colonial INVENTION like it’s not that the world was a pro-gay utopia pre-European colonisation #but reading a lot of post-colonial scholarship it’s kind of mind-boggling #also a deeply privileged thing to admit I know. my surprise is mostly the degree to which ‘global homophobia is a colonial artefact’ #is like not an exaggerated claim at all basically #One thing that’s frustrating is that a lot of the scholarship I’ve read so far focuses on heterosexuality as the root cause #& not gender. like truly I do not think homophobia as colonial policy makes any sense without gender as the primary distribution mechanism #but anyway. much more reading to do !

I know you don't usually do these kinds of posts, but you're probably one of the most implicated in black history month people that I follow so I wanted to ask you, as I already value your opinions in Acotar, what do you think of the documentary where actual historians claim Cleopatra was a black woman? Lately, this has been a pretty active topic on my fyp on TikTok, and I wanted to know a black woman's perspective on this.

Thank you in advance, and if you usually don't answer these questions or don't want to answer this one, I'll totally understand, and there's no problem at all.

I didn’t know there was a new documentary out, but when I saw the name Cleopatra I automatically sighed because I knew what was coming. This is a subject a know a little 🤏🏾 about, actually, because I researched it a bit myself in my last year of high school (and stopped because of the uh. NASTINESS associated with this particular subject) and though it’s been a few years I remembered some main, basic things, and I wanted to check a few things first.

At best, in the most CHARITABLE interpretation as far as I in my limited knowledge can tell, it would be correct to say that’s it’s POSSIBLE that she MAY have been mixed Black because, though she was part of the GREEK Ptolemaic dynasty that ruled Egypt (Ptolemy being one of Alexander the Great’s generals who got the Egyptian portion of his empire after Alexander died), that’s on her fathers side; her mother’s exact ethnicity isn’t known. Not that this won’t stop the hoteps from running off and claiming her and all of ancient Egypt as Black though So some have ***speculated*** that her mother—and thus Cleopatra—may have potentially been part Egyptian (and that goes into the issue of deciding that the “Egyptian” in this instance had to have been Black rather than MENA but that’s again a whole other can of worms). BUT it’s more likely that her mother was Greek due to the uh, PRACTICE™️ of inbreeding and it not being common for the dynasty to marry Egyptians. So it’s more probable that she was fully Greek/Macedonian and not part Egyptian, much less part Black. (Also some historians speculate she may have had Persian blood? I guess? Again it’s a can of worms, not something i’m digging deep into because of the nastiness that you often stumble across) Unless there’s a new study confirming her mother’s identity or something that I missed, it’s simply incorrect to claim that Cleopatra was undeniably Black, because though it is ***possible*** she most likely ***wasn’t.***

But this topic really upsets me, because there are LEGITIMATE Black kingdoms and empires who were mighty and well developed and powerful like the Aksumite empire and kingdoms of Kongo and Loango and the Great Zimbabwe empire and the empires of Ghana and Mali and Songhay and the Ashanti kingdom and the WHOLE SWAHILI COAST THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE INDIAN OCEAN TRADE ROUTE and they had their own great rulers, their own kings and queens and emperors and empresses, their palaces and castles, their own cities and towns, their own complex civilizations and dynastic royal families that deserve the attention Cleopatra and ancient Egypt get. They were erased—and Egypt was not—by white people to prop themselves up as the only race capable of forming civilizations and advanced societies as a means of justifying colonization and imperialism to “civilize” the rest of the world and as a result many of those other empires have been erased from our education system here in the states and many people cling to ancient Egypt as proof that we’re not inferior and aren’t savages like white people claim due to believing that since Egypt’s in Africa it had to have been mostly Black when Egypt, and the Ptolemaic dynasty and Cleopatra in PARTICULAR, are literally the worst example that could’ve been chosen and were the only African kingdom spared erasure FOR A REASON.

Anyway, I don’t like it, it’s disingenuous and does US wrong because we need to give that energy to other African kingdoms that need and could use the fame Egypt + Cleopatra get, and we deserve a better education system to teach us this stuff. I hope this answers your question? And I don’t mind any kinds of asks 🥰

#I get the desire to claim Egypt because I remember in high school a racist white guy asked why Africans didn’t build their own civilizations #And that’s what sent me researching in the first place so I truly get the frustration but black women we can do BETTER #ask #anon #cleopatra #egypt #africa #racism #Don’t come at me in my inbox yall #antiblackness

finally getting around to posting this since i finally have a scanner… augh it’s quite smudged but some traditional pearl art! coloured mechanical pencil, then copic markers and shaded with diluted drawing ink :] hounds of love by kate bush THE pearl song!!!

#pearlescentmoon #pearlescentmoon fanart #double life #life series #traffic smp #trafficblr #i feel bad about tagging the same fandom a bunch of times but i truly have no clue which one people use the most #it’s frustrating we don’t have like.

if i have to read one more published fantasy book that uses irl memes and online vernacular in its dialogue i’m taking away the toys until y’all can learn to respect yourselves. Not only does it break immersion in your world and detract from your characters having their own voices, it also makes you, the author, seem like a dim parrot incapable of neither original thought nor basic understanding of the passage of time

1) due to the timeline of publishing, any meme included will automatically be hopelessly dated by the time the story reaches readers and

2) it’s literally the same thing Ready Player One did. Hey look i’m pointing at a thing in pop culture. Did you get my reference? Did you get it? Let me list some more colors and shapes you recognize. Did you get it? And then Gideon Nav hit the dab or whatever. Hashtag Relatable!

It’s so painfully unfunny and uncompelling every time. We can do better. Apply some creativity to your own work

#writing #i love fantasy and every time i buy yet another newly published book i’m SO excited and hopeful #and then it’s just. garbage #the fourth wing is my latest DNF like my god how did this get published #every so often i’m like okay maybe the locked tomb series surely can’t be THAT bad? #and then i’ll see another excerpt or screenshot of the text and go ah. never mind #the use of meme slang has now become like the number one red flag of a truly stupid book #extremely frustrating. ah well be the change you want to see in the world #yap yap
