WoF-ies your SAMS

This AU I've just been batting around in the bg and wasn't intended for art, but I was encouraged so cfgcvh Dragons!

Eclipse (Sky/Sand/Night), Moon (Sand/Night), and Sun(Sand/Night). Eclipse is their older half-brother, shit with animus magic happens, but happy ending eventually? Not getting along in this piece though

#moon doesn't look very sandwing but its subtle we got some warm yellows #the other two should be more obvious #basil art #sams wof #sun and moon show #tsams #wof eclipse #wof moondrop #wof sunrise #dfgh full names in the tags because moon and sunny are canon wof characters already

i am the cattt just chillin outt but in the night she's all i think aboutttt

#zeno's art #i feel so strong 😭 when shes around 😭 she picks me up 😭 when 😭 i 😭 am 😭 down 😭 #even i can admit that i love the full theme song. anyway! #for this redesign i also wanted him to feel less generic but in a different way to marinette #i wanted his civilian clothes to look comfortable and stylish so hes like ... a rich boy who doesnt really dress like a rich boy #idk #i got rid of the purple to keep everything cohesive and because it annoyed me #and i tried to make the outfit less simiar to maris too. why were they both wearing nearly matching jacket shirt jeans ensembles??? #i also wanted to make his hair look a bit smart with the side part but also a little rebellious with the spiked hair #that also creates a subtle cat ear silhouette. #with the chat noir suit: the original looks very uncomfortable and embarrassing to wear for a 14 year old (i think theyre 14 in the show?) #i remember that one of the designers for itsv said that most teens would be embarrassed wearing a spandex/tight suit if they were superheros #and thats why miles wore shorts and a jacket and shoes over his #so i thought 'ill make chat's suit more comfy' #rather than his weird leather suit its more loose esp in the legs to make an interesting silhouette #the cat scratches on the suit + the messier hair also signify rebellion #and the belt mirrors that of my ladybug redesign #the graident tail is just to match plagg + it looks cool #ok done rambling! #miraculous ladybug #mlb #adrien agreste #chat noir #cat noir #plagg #zag studios hire this man

looks are deceiving.

back in the day i would have given anything for these two to fight. they’re already kind of dead, so it’s fiiine they're fiiiine.

#danny phantom #danny phantom fanart #dp #dp fanart #vlad plasmius #vlad masters #dan phantom #dark danny #please don’t tag as ship #pls guys. pls. #for the sake of my sanity. #ney’s art #i have two interpretations of this #one is that dan wipes the floor with vlad. like just *decimates* the guy. version 2.0 and all that #second one is that vlad has actually been holding back against danny and its way more even bc life experience and probably ghost power?? #either way they fight. very flashy. #side note but does anyone else find it funny vlad gets SO much buffer as a ghost #like bro. it's not subtle and i'm kind of endeared #real of him tbh #a lot of what i'm doing with this cartoony style is trying to get into simpler shapes. key word trying lmao #i have to resist the render impulse

I like to imagine that her gentleness is genuine

#Havent used this brush in forever #it's usually too soft for my generally very... jagged art #ill write down some thoughts later lemme write the fandom tags first lol #hsr #honkai star rail #hsr robin #hsr spoilers #implied... its hella subtle tho #my art #(pulls out the plastic chair) ok listen up. #first of all i leaned a bit into the old timey tv style bc i felt like itd fit her vibe ykno #second of all the little pinkish thing behind her is meant to resemble a) a blood splatter and b) xipes fucked up halo #penacony is so fucked up and twisted and all while robin has been genuinely kind so far #Like even firefly was kind of weird and suspicious but she appears so earnest #and Im really curious how the story is gonna go for her. Im expecting her to still be alive in some way #Esp so we can find out why she left penacony #and her connection to the family #my hope is for her to be out of place in the place that should perfectly fit her vibe #alternatively itd be rlly funny if she was like. evil. not evil evil but more like Hey Remember How The Harmony Is A Hivemind

Omg hi Ms. Yellow Caballero big fan of your work <3 For real though, I'm really excited that your sharing the Weekenders, it was a joy to read and I'm bongocat-ing now that others also get the privilege to read it as well.

Referencing your tags, would you please elaborate of ableism in fandom and, like you said, how fandom treats characters with unpalatable disabilities?

Hi Ms. Bud Lite I'm a big fan of you <3

TL;DR A fear of writing characters of highly marginalized identities shields you from criticism and discomfort, but it's actively stigmatizing to people of these identities and as a writer you really need to get over yourself and write The Icky People.

I guess I'll come out swinging on this one and say that fandom doesn't like severe mental illness. (As a note, when I say severe mental illness (SMI) I mean illnesses such as psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, personality disorders, etc)

Obviously, nobody likes people w/SMI. It's just insanely egregious in fandom to me, since fanfic writers absolutely love writing characters or HC characters with depression, anxiety, or a specific variety of PTSD That Isn't Scary. People actively reject any character HCs for a SMI. When people write a character with SMI, they nicely downplay it, ignore it, substitute it for a disorder they like better, or rewrite it. It's completely untolerated, in both headcanons and in fanfiction, and every time I bring it up I always get the most interesting reasons why somebody couldn't possibly acknowledge a character's SMI in their writing. I've heard all of these:

"I don't know enough about the disorder to write it accurately." Do research.

"I'm not X, so I can't really depict it." You probably aren't a cis white man, but you depict those guys just fine.

"It feels insulting to the character." There is no shame in having a SMI.

"I can't understand what it's like, so it's better to be cautious and avoid giving characters stigmatized identities." There are LOTS of experiences that you'll never understand because you've never had them - you just don't want to write anything you're uncomfortable with. People with SMI make you uncomfortable, and you don't want to write anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, or think of a comfort character in an uncomfortable way. SMIs are marginalized differently than solely depression/anxiety/The Nice PTSD, and by refusing to write them you're actively contributing to the stigma.

I think (?) I've spoken in the past about how I believe that the rigorous external and internal policing of writing people of marginalized identities is actively harmful towards efforts to increase diversity of experience and background in fiction. A lot of fanfiction writers are just terrified to write people who they can't directly relate with, because they're worried 'they'll get it wrong' and be Big Cancelled. I think this is negative enough when it prevents people from going outside of their comfort zone, but on a macro level I think this results in people refusing to write characters of marginalized identities as all. It's an insidious thought process, and it's reflected in people's unwillingness to diversity their writing or acknowledge canon diversity.

'Well, I don't understand what it's like to be Black, so I don't want to write Black people'. 'I want to project on this character, so I only want to write them with mental illnesses and identities I have'. 'If I write a marginalized character incorrectly people will yell at me, so I won't write a marginalized character who's marginalized differently than me at all'. Can you imagine writing a lesbian character with a boyfriend because 'you feel uncomfortable writing lesbian experiences'? It's blatantly homophobic. But people do that with disability and race/ethnicity ALL THE TIME.

People with SMI notice that you feel uncomfortable with them. It's obvious. They notice when a character has a SMI + anxiety, and you only write their anxiety. They notice when a character displays symptoms of a SMI in canon, but you write it out. And POC notice when the characters of color are written out. I know we all like to project on the blorbos and relate to them, and in the joys of your own head do whatever, but as a writer if you only stick to identities you're comfortable with you are actively being a worse writer. Which to me is the REAL sin lmfao.

#my asks #thanks for enabling me lizzy if i didn't get this out i would have just vagued for the rest of time #even just beyond all of this on a more subtle lvl. HC people with SMI cowards. just do it. its good for you. #the two times me/a close friend have proposed on a fandom server "hey I read X as having a SUD/being on the schizophrenic spectrum' #there was actual fascinating pushback and rejection #people got MAD. #'blorbo wouldn't be an alcoholic he's not a bad person :(' fuck off #i dont use the word often but its ableism and you can be mentally ill and still ableist #if you dont feel educated enough on something to write it then do research #and while research wont give you everything it's a start #if you feel like you can only write people just like you then frankly? skill issue #i mentioned that the last fic was a bit of a spite fic - well #it was scientifically fascinating how the majority of a fandom wrote/acknowledged a character as depressed and anxious #but actively got incredibly defensive when someone suggested that the psychotic character may have had a psychotic disorder #it was so blatant. very annoying. anyway.

House Date.

Neo: Ooh you finally made it didn't think you'd bring snacks.

It's just Jaune in his pumpkin pete shirt and some regular pants.

Jaune: Uuhm.

Neo: Please don't leave.

-

Neo: You wanna house tour? don't worry, I won't show you the basement yet. You'll see enough of that later.

Jaune: 😦

Neo: Kidding, kidding! Please don't leave!

-

Neo with two glasses in hand.

Neo: Wanna drink?

Neo then looks down at the glass with uncertainty before bringing one of the glasses up and giving it a sniff.

Neo: ....You want both?

-

Neo: How about some spaghetti to forgetti our regretti's? 😃

Jaune: 🤔

Neo: Don't worry, you won't have any regretti's after tomorrow! 🥰

Jaune: 😐

destiny intersects with the ruined reactor...

little details!

#here i go establishing new questionable habits... #'oh yeah lemme just uhhh create an entire soundtrack to accompany my art! lmao no biggie' #but DUDE masashi hamauzu is a legend and his music sounds SO good in the ffvii soundfont ok #it's irresistable. i don't have a say in the matter. my brain says 'ok music time' and i am at its mercy like cloud giving in to jenova. #ALSO i learned so much about the soundfont while recreating the reactor section!! #you know that subtle triplet beat 'train chugging' sorta sound in the mako reactor theme? #it's actually acoustic bass plucks getting cut off SUPER short in rapid succession! #the same track uses a very deep pitched reverse cymbal sample as a spooky atmospheric 'breathing' noise. #idk man i just admire how creative og ffvii is in general with its limited tools. #ok the nerd urge has passed i'm good now #just kidding. gongaga has me in a chokehold. i'm obsessed with this place. do not talk to me about it because i will not shut up. #ffvii #ff7 #ffvii rebirth #cloud strife #my art <3 #my music <3

SHE WHAT 😭 what were the characters omg

i mean with all due respect to SJM the one of these men called “fenrys” is not the one you’d think

#she very obviously becoming obsessed with dark skin + light hair combo and tattooed elves via dragon age fanart #its not subtle LMAO like she openly uses pinterest for all her insp and da fanart is everywhere there #i dont imagineee shes played? but wouldnt know #anyway the above is official art and i am owed hazard pay for having to open the throne of glass wiki #shoutout to merrill and morrigan being acotar characters as well now that rlly cracked me up

[saddest-girl-in-the-whole-world]

Favourite headcanon about GtN is that when Harrow was off to explore Canaan House alone she was being obnoxiously bad at sneaking around and literally half of the people there only got as far as they did is because well if you see the VERY UNSUBTLE BONE NUN that wears VERY LOUD BONE JEWELLERY sneaking around somewhere there's probably something worth looking at nearby

#her movement is as subtle as her romantic ambitions #i just. i have to imagine that bone rosary has to make constant noise right?? #especially since gideon was very much obviously wandering around on her own its like #oh the nerd left her bodyguard?? the one that could watch out for someone following her?? #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #tlt spoilers #harrowhark nonagesimus
