#caterpillar-butterfly metamorphosis is. Um. inch resting #fascinating! also horrifying! id like to Experience it! #oh to dissolve into soup and be radically transformed into something new. preferably with wings #also realistically. there would be a shed skin left behind #like watch a time lapse of a caterpillar forming the chrysalis #the chrysalis forms Inside the bug and then like... splits it open and the caterpillar's now empty skin just shrivels like a rolled sock #so like... whoever discovers howdy's chrysalis would have to deal with seeing his scooped-out body #UNLESS IM THINKING ABOUT IT TOO LITERALLY BECAUSE HES A MF PUPPET #still. something to think about #scribble salad #yassified howdy <3 #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #welcome home fanart #frank: never fear neighbors - ill ease your worries with detailed information! that way theres no room left for anxiety-inducing mysteries! #frank: why are you screaming

It's been such a long time since I've fallen so hard for a project. All the work put into Welcome Home so far has been so vibrant and amazing, and things are just getting started! Of course I had to draw something for it! 😊💖 (Several somethings, to be more accurate! XD)

Black radio host and comedian Charlamagne Tha God blasted DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs and initiatives as "garbage" on The Daily Show, a political satire television program.

DEI practices in corporate America grew in popularity, with companies promoting the value of creating a welcoming atmosphere where people from diverse backgrounds can excel. Now, however, DEI programs have become a frequent target of right-wing activists in recent years, and Republican lawmakers are backing dozens of bills targeting DEI initiatives at universities and other public institutions.

Progressives tend to back DEI programs as a way to combat institutionalized racism that they say is ever-present in society. Conservatives, on the other hand, have fought against such initiatives as they worry that DEI aims to push a narrative against some classes of people (whether that be based on race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc.) and create an unfair advantage for others.

During an appearance on The Daily Show on Wednesday night, Charlamagne showed a few ads from companies like Microsoft, General Mills and Vaseline promoting their DEI initiatives, and then showed clips of media personalities bashing such programs, saying things like "DEI is just a rebranded version of hating white people."

"These right-wingers are crazy. Right? Jesus," Charlamagne said. "But here's the part where you all stop applauding everything I say. The truth about DEI is that although it's well-intentioned, it's mostly garbage, okay."

Charlamagne then joked: "It's kinda like the black Little Mermaid—Just because racists hate it, doesn't mean it's good. And you know, I'm right, because every one of you has sat through one of those diversity training sessions and thought this is some bulls***.

"And it's not just you. Over 900 studies have shown that DEI programs don't make the workplace better for minorities. In fact, it can actually make things worse because of the backlash effect."

Newsweek could not independently confirm which studies Charlamagne referred to.

However, a paper published by Frank Dobbin and Alexandra Kalev in Anthropology Now, a peer-reviewed journal, in 2018 wrote, "Hundreds of studies dating back to the 1930s suggest that antibias training does not reduce bias, alter behavior or change the workplace."

The radio host pointed out that even with DEI programs, Black people still lack leadership positions in corporate America.

"The biggest failure of DEI is that the number of black people in power at big companies is basically the same as it was five years ago. In fact, maybe the only thing that DEI has accomplished is giving racist white people cover to be openly racist," he said.

Charlamagne said that DEI programs don't work because it's "just corporate PR" for companies who "want to cover their ass."

"We don't need corporate DEI. Yes, we want diversity and equity and inclusion. But we don't want it from Vaseline," the comedian joked.

He continued: "Real DEI is only going to come from black leadership. I don't know how to do it because I'm not a black leader, but I do know how to tell if it's working—Just keep an eye on right-wing media, the more they're freaking out, the more progress we're making."

#nunyas news #to be fair right wing media doesn't give a shit #so long as you aren't being racist #which dei programs are #got what should be a historic appointment to the supreme court #that will have a asterisk next to it #because the guy that put her there announced that there were standards he was going to judge by #her making the cut without much fuss tells me #she would have made it just fine #but now people will forever say she was a diversity hire #welcome to what dei does for the black community

A little off topic but do I spy tail feathers on gk in the last panel?

thank you for noticing thank you for noticing thank you for n oticing thanky nyou f

yes, you most certainly do!

voilà!

he's had them in every picture of him i've posted, but they're not always easy to see! i was really wondering when someone would notice!

it is a swallow-like tail! when you have big ol' wings i figure that having a rudder helps significantly with manoeuvrability. here's some sketches where you can see it a little more clearly.

and an extra bonus; with all those feathers he's obviously gotta have a way to preen them...

#as you can see unlike vul he is a Gloves Wearer so he gets hit with the Scary Hands beam. you're welcome. #i also draw his wings at slightly inconsistent sizes because i hc that the knights can adjust their wing sizes a little. #genuinely feel like they do change constantly in the games so... why not make it an intentional quirk. #helps them to fit them into spaces! (and helps me to draw them in compositions. do you see what i mean.) #anyway anon thank u for this ask. i was really hanging out for somebody to notice!!!. #awtdy au #my art #galacta knight #bandana waddle dee #my headcanons and worldbuilding

Danny doesn’t fear god and I’m living for it 🫶

danny doesn't fear anything!

he really should be more careful, the guy has walked out of car accidents with an arm missing proclaiming he's fine! he really should learn some self preservation skills...

he's been in the hospital so many times the receptionist there knows his phone number, but only because so he can call them in advance to let them know he's gonna need a room to stay in so they can patch him up!

he's very very very reckless, to a fault really. he doesn't really care though! Danny lives for thrills, he loves do dangerous things! He wouldn't have coined it as his last name if he didnt!

i forgot i had sketched him a bunch when i had "redesigned" him, in all honestly i just changed his eyes and gave him a sharper face, there wasn't much of a change!

he's been in my thoughts lately...

#welcome home oc #myart #danny danger #chit chat #he likes motorcycles specifically because they're cool looking and he can pretend he's flying when he spreads his wings #they're too small to carry him! #i pity him really #i say this as if i didn't do that #you didn't hear that from me!!! shhh #he's very silly #i think he has his own band #his band doubles as his gang? what a funny thought #mmm electric guitar #welcome home greaser au

For a new reader, is there a a specific spot to start to see the current story? I’m unsure if the earlier links are relayed to what’s happening now.

Someone just asked last night so its fresh on my brain when I say Chapter 9 is a good spot to start. But I do have to be honest in that chapters 1-8 are also relevant to where we are now lol its kinda hard to pinpoint a starting point BUT I would love for you to read it.

I used to direct new readers to Chapter 14 which is when Indya & Darren get married. I think that is another natural starting point and also means you only have 10 chapters until you're all caught up! You can always go back and fill in the gaps later if you choose.

Enjoy and happy reading!
