(teaching my art class)

me: and what’s the number one rule when designing characters with wings? …well?

a handful of students, sighing reluctantly: no good fa-

me (interrupting them): NO good-faith attempts at realism, EVER. you want all the bird dweebs and physicists jumping ship as EARLY AS POSSIBLE so they’re not around to cinemasins your ass when you get to the cool parts of your story, and…ugh, what now, gerald

gerald (my least favorite student): why not just do some minimal research instead of-

me: listen you little shit i can and will singlehandedly tank your 4.0 gpa

#mumbling #don’t worry i’m not actually an art teacher i would never #no one deserves that #the art class is a metaphor #man when i was in high school i did NOT fully register how messed up it was that teachers could just do that #like the gym teacher at my school would give straight-A 4.0 students bad grades as some kind of power trip #for underperforming on athletic tests she didn't even pretend to prepare us for

Alright let's imagine a scene that is all too normal in palestine. A palestinian business owner finds his building covered in graffiti stars of Davids and Hebrew that says "gas the arabs" and "death to arabs"

Now imagine there's a reporter there and asks the palestinian business owner what happens and they say "the jews attacked my business"

Pause. Now your response might be "uncle no. Say israelis not jews" and then this is when he would look at you like youre stupid because the israelis doing this are jewish. They are not the Christians or the druze or the palestinian ones with Israeli citizenship. They are Jewish israelis who believe in their religious supremacy. When you graffiti stars of david all over a palestinian business, car, or the street you seek that conflation. it sends a message, this is jewish land and you're next.

The problem is that these videos circulate in zionist circles. "Watch this video of children in gaza calling for the death of jews" "watch how they say they want to fight and kill jews" those children are referring to Israeli soldiers that come in night and do their raids with the star of David attached to their uniform or the ones that bomb them. It's easy to watch those videos and assume that palestinians are indoctrinating their children on anti semitism or you can realize that those children's only interaction with jewish ppl is through violence and parents cannot protect their children from this. Doesn't matter context is lost

Abby Martin went to Jerusalem and interviewed israelis for 2 hours and she says every israeli was extremely confident to say that this land is for them and that they should push the Arabs out and when she interviewed palestinians they spoke of freedom from occupation and their dreams. That's reality. Not the soundbites.

And yet we have invasive youtubers and interviewers constantly in the street of ramallah or wherever in palestine asking palestinians "do you hate jews?" And in those videos you hear those palestinians say "no we have no problem with jews we have a problem with occupation and we have a problem with zionism." Bc this is how we are trained to respond to this trope. Palestinians are very aware what the world thinks of us and the reality is that many palestinians have internalized it and we grow up reading books on the Holocaust and train ourselves to recognize anti semitic dog whistles so zionists don't get the soundbites they want.

So we say "anti zionism is not anti semitism" and we say "israeli zionists" and we do not say "jewish supremacy" even thought it exists in palestine but "zionist supremacy" and in these carefully worded speech we water down what is happening to us in an effort to not deter people away from solidarity. But it means nothing. The world categorically blames palestinians for rising anti semitism they blame us for jewish insecurity globally.

An archangel is actually a type of babygirl,

We've all seen The gabe dress but I had a divine vision of him in a kroj (Czech folk costume) and y'know what? I was right. He slays. What's the point of art if not to take some fictional guy, say "that's my wife" and put clothes on him like a paper doll

Anyway I think everyone should draw him in their culture's folk costume now. I wanna start a trend

((bonus sketch idk if I'll finish,,))

#my art #ultrakill #gabriel ultrakill #gabe dress gabe dress gabe dress g #the idea of drawing him in pants feels illegal #kroj #artists on tumblr #do not ask me how long the fucking embroidery took on the first one i do not want to talk about it #I actually used to have one of these when I was in like 3rd grade that my mom made for me.. i wanna make myself one eventually #wearing dresses is a mess bc if i am perceived by other people as too feminine it makes me want to explode a little but kroje are so pretty

the way that jonathan stroud wrote lucy and lockwood as characters that directly parallel each other in everything!!! she Listens and he Sees. he’s the title character and she’s the narrator. she has this great power and he wants to build a great agency. when apart she’s just as reckless as he is. even down to their likes and dislikes: she hates orange juice pulp and he loves it if only to pretend he’s a whale. she leaves to protect him and he comes back to protect her. she wants to communicate with ghosts and he wants to fight them. they have matching white streaks!!!! they are the most alike and the most different and that is why they work. literally no one has ever created such a compelling relationship with such compelling characters!!!!

#and for a MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADE book series no less!!!!!! #i mean it when i say they are the natural successors to percabeth #cause WHO else is doing it like them??? NO ONE #lockwood and co #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #locklyle #text #userevaz #book: lockwood and co #otp: just an associate

every week we have to wait between new pjo episodes is like reliving the year between mark of athena and house of hades. except this time we’re ten years older and still haven’t forgiven rick for that author’s note💙

#if you were there for that year you’re a real one💙🩵💙 #and when I say that I mean it because I think that year alone I reread the entire series like four or five times. I remember in eighth grade #house of hades came out and when I brought it to school the next day my Spanish teacher took it away from me #for reading in class. #this has gotten me to reread the series again after years of not having the attention span to read. #as usual percy changes my brain chemistry what else is new #percy jackson #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #rick riordan #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #annabeth chase #the lightning thief #tlt #pjo s1 #pjo spoilers #heroes of olympus #my post

#my art #described #image description in alt #phoenix wright #kristoph gavin #ema skye #trucy wright #ajaa #happy birthday phoenix wright 👍 yay #i like the idea that apollo has like pages and pages worth of random talents but they just never come up and he just never mentions them #and one of them is. inexplicably. making and decorating professional grade baked goods #i think when hes not actively trying to murder people kristoph is just this genre of piece of shit #guy who everybody hates but he just will not stop showing up uninvited and making himself the most important person there. #also ema and trucy trying to blow him up with their minds

y’all out here saying Izzy’s death made no narrative sense because it’s a comedy show clearly haven’t seen the Shakespeare post…I’m sorry I really am but death immunity only applies to the romantic leads the genre has not changed babes

(I don’t mean this to be patronizing, but genuinely: critically analyzing and engaging with art is a skill, and an important one. it’s a tool that will help you in the real world, for real current events. use this as practice not to take everything at face value. sad art does not equal bad art!)

#it was not lazy writing this was always the narrative 👏 #instead of thinking the show is dumb for making you sad PLEASE think about why the show might have wanted you to feel that way #(and fwiw I didn’t see these takes about ‘oh it’s a comedy why would they do this!’ when ed was suicidal…) #this is like being in 9th grade lit with all the kids arguing that Romeo and Juliet were just stupid teenagers #did I see this coming? no!! but it makes sense if you’re consuming this story as a real story instead of screen time with blorbo hour #(which is a fine way to consume it if you want!! but you can’t come at the show for being what it always was…) #s/o to the Izzy enjoyers who get the difference bw fanon and canon you’re the real ones #ofmd #ofmd season 2 #ofmd spoilers #ofmd s2 spoilers #our flag means death #ofmd meta

can't believe the americans are mocking "sixth form" when freshman, sophomore, junior and senior makes NO INTUITIVE SENSE

#fhjy #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #adventuring party #im not even english and our system has grades 1 through 10 and then next school stage years 1-4 and then university #which is like #very transparent #but i do not see where these yanks (affectionate) get off mocking a number based name when junior year isnt even the first one #why is the man fresh???

i know for a fact i have made this post before but for me it's very important that bbc merlin is a pointless tragedy. it wouldn't be good (it's frequently not good anyway but it would be a lot further away from good) if it wasn't a pointless tragedy! it's simply not arthuriana if it doesn't go past the high point of the heroic/legendary/high medieval romance stuff and end with detailed rundowns of exactly how everybody got betrayed and died like that is what makes it real arthuriana to me and not just a silly show about a wizard

#'why did he die at the end! why did they make us miserable? why can't we have nice things!' #BECAUSE IT'S ARTHURIANA OKAY .that's what HAPPENS #if you're doing arthuriana you're not doing it right unless when you finally get to the end of this endless string of knight adventures #the main guy is like. dead and you're like well . what am i supposed to do now #like when i first read the great illustrated classic abridged king arthur in third grade and got to the end ofi t #and guinevere had been sent to a nunnery and half the nights had died in this battle or that one and merlin had been stuck in a cave #and then arthur dies and bedivere chucks his sword in a lake and then the book just ENDS #and i sat there consumed with emotions id never felt before. well i would've been disappointed if the end of bbc merlin had #NOT made me feel those emotions again #but it did. to me that is in fact its greatest success #merlin #q #like. dont get me wrong i like a fixfic as much as the next guy and in fact i plot them out all the time #but you cant DO that if the original material is. like. already happy #or meant to be

Evaluating American-style Chinese cuisine

English added by me :)

#douyin #video #tiktok #this is fucking sending me #as someone who in 1st grade had to sit through a classmate's 'international cuisine: china' presentation #wherein one of the foods she named was MACARONI SOUP #like. did we eat macaroni and cheese every tuesday for convenience when i was a child? yes. and was it fucking soupy? yes. but MACARONI汤?!? #and i did not know what the fuck orange chicken or general tso's chicken was until well into middle school #also until literally the moment i was double checking my translation just know #i've been thinking it was general tsao's chicken #*did not know what the fuck orange chicken was until schools combined for middle school & new ppl started asking if i liked orange chicken #my mom's friend owned a chinese buffet and that's basically where i tried american chinese food for the first time #and then her son made me sit there and watch him play sonic and halo on xbox #also did not know the difference between the chickens until literally this video #anyway diaspora experience amiright #cw food
