the ppl in the hades fandom arguing abt the race of gods and characters are so stupid y’all it’s a fucking game..
we have real issues going on in this world a literal genocide is happening, innocent people are dying, who cares about the skin color of an avatar in a game.
i love to praise ever after high for being one of the first doll lines to even tease a sapphic relationship on screen (i only say one of the first as roxxi and nevra from bratz were not confirmed until 2020), but the reality is ever after high was such a product of its time because even then, with an entire on screen kiss… they completely pushed aside any sort of development between darling and apple in favor of daring and it really sucks.
i LOVE daring, and i absolutely adore darabella. i love his arc in epic winter and i think it’s such perfect character development for him. what i don’t like, however, is that darling was such an important character in dragon games. like, the entire ending of dragon games was due to her character arc and her discovering her destiny, and… they barely show her on screen during epic winter. she gets maybe ten seconds of screentime in the background of some shots, and her and apple never even speak.
mattel had the best opportunity to give darling and apple some much needed discovery and closure during epic winter, especially after daring went through his own character arc and found out that he was destined to be with rosabella. i think it was in part that so many parents probably complained about the kiss (which is also why the “it was cpr” or “it was a friendship kiss” theories are so popular) so they pushed darling off screen in order to make parents happy, but it still drives me absolutely bonkers.
in general, i actually sincerely hate how mattel treated the charming children. it was obvious who their favorite was (daring) and i can’t fault them for that because i really do enjoy him and his arc, but dexter and darling were both routinely pushed aside and it drives me insane even all these years later.
i think this could be captioned as "the main characters entering [insert the name of area theyre gonna get Cyan's pieces from (i dont think its been said yet😭)]"
heyyyy guess who finally did a dtiys that he's been trying to get around to for ages?? it's oak! the original was done by my beloved mutual @teamranchers go check out his art and also the @dailyteamrancher acc it's v cute and I love it
I've been getting mad for gender reasons a lot recently for no specific reason but a lot of it comes down to the fact that even while interacting with other WLW I see a lot of clear revulsion towards the idea of a woman sexually desiring another woman and the assumption of sexual security in the presence of (cis) women/absence of men both of which are so contrary to my own personal experience and identity it makes it impossible to Be Around so many people
a wild flavor of tumblr user is a certain kind of white American self id’d leftist or commie who reblogs and posts things about I just think all liberals and centrists should DIE (*guillotine* meme) and then posts things needing to be nicer to demographics that vote 80% Republican and are very systemically involved in the structural and practical oppression of people of color and the whole US hegemony like brooo I get having a seriously messy relationship with your own cultural background but who are you talking about? Guillotining everyone at mawmaw’s thanksgiving?

A view to the southwest at Morant's Curve. Based on the azimuth/direction from this location, I was able to determine that off in the distance were Ten Peaks around the Moraine Lake area. With information from peakbagger.com, I was able to determine the most visible peaks of Mount Bell, Mount Babel, and Mount Fay.
jamie's house was clearly all designed by some designer and not by jamie but he does have framed photos of himself and his little transformers and his sunflowers on the counter<3
The eight robot masters of Mega Man Ultimate are my pride and joy. As evident by their intro posts, plenty of thought went into the conceptualization of each bot, and it was very fun to revisit their initial 2018 designs and sprite them while making a few design tweaks for their big tumblr debut!
However, while I was taking a good look at the sprites I had made of the octet of renegades, I noticed something... I was fairly satisfied with every sprite I had drawn, though I felt as though I could do a lot better with one in particular, both in terms of his sprite and his design as a whole...
Strafe Man, the overconfident high-flyer.
Unlike the other seven members of the Synth Legion, Strafe Man's design had hardly been altered since I first settled on a design for him back in 2018— the most he had ever really gotten was a color change here or there, and I've also found that he's the single most underrated robot master of the eight in spite of proclaiming to be the coolest.
Let's fix that, shall we?
With a flashier winged helmet, bigger wings and a much more arduous arsenal, Strafe Man has officially been done justice! My goal was to give him a more detailed and streamlined design compared to his 2018 counterpart (Which there wasn't inherently anything wrong with, he just looked plain alongside the other SLN units), and I'm certain I succeeded in achieving just that!
If you'd like a bit more insight on Strafe Man's redesign... you know just where to look to find them (Here's a hint; it's just below)! ✨
ppl ask a lot abt my traditional coloring process but its rlly not that complex u just rlly water down inks and layer thin layers until you realize you’ve been working for 9 hours straight and pass out with all ur supplies still in bed w/ u LOL
Only one more week of work left!! (and only 6 colors, 3 brown and 3 blue). i have no idea what i want to work on next. i guess i could finish my Haldane bag but i still haven't come up with a pattern i like for it. but i think i really will be moving in the next 6 weeks so i might get a little sparse for a while.
