#young and vain

[subsequentibis]

had a page fulla scribbles i didn't like except for this one but i do like how it looks on a mostly blank background

#ibis art #emphasizing the smallness of the ocelot. #little man is CHUFFED. #metal gear #revolver ocelot #watched a few baby ocelot in mgs3 cutscenes. obsessed with him #he's so. child prodigy. he's so young and self assured and proud and vain and confident. he's everything #im gonna pinch his widdle cheeks and make him hot chocolate

Yknow, instead of basing a lackluster at best character off a nazi, Coco could have been Chajka, based off the heroic Chajka Klinger, a jewish woman who was essentially a scribe of history

You can even keep the minibag machine gun considering the history of jewish women hiding guns in their purses

#rwde #idk if yall have read the light of days by Judy Batalion but that shit made me cry #do not read that book at work lmao #but in all seriousness it's a v good book i highly recommend #why stan a shitheel based on a nazi when you can recall and rejoice people who did their best during the absolute worst of times #side tangent but reading this book has turned me off all nazi shit #like obvs we grow up w 'nazis r bad bc death and destruction' but reading the individual accounts #following some folks from teen to young death even in a narration #its haunting #its v much the reason i hate jojo rabbit(movie)/caging skies(book) #i do not ever want to see a nazi in a positive light #human? yes. quirky and relatable? FUCKING NO #idk why but the entire book chajka was always the one I felt most drawn to #i wish she'd had a happy ending but i honestly can't say that i would've done any different in those circumstances #i hope she knows peace and that her efforts weren't in vain #whats a proper jewish sendoff for the deceased? im p sure rip is christian #either way chajka i love you

it's okay tho bc i know what i'm gonna write ab for my lit essay

#feminist girl with anger issues reading about women's anger and repression of anger #no but i could bc i also hated that part of little women. jo was right to be angry and i'm honestly let down by the fact that there was no #proper ''conclusion'' to the hurt she was caused when amy burnt her manuscript #not to mention jo's entire arc seems to be about repression and dare i say masking #that woman was NOT allo is all i'm saying #and it's like. this is a children's book and was meant to be educational for young girls of the time. you understand #amy had to learn to not be vain and beth to not be so shy and meg to not be materialistic #but jo had to completely change who she was. because she was a tomboy who didn't want to marry. #maybe i'm misunderstanding the point. i feel like my indignation is hypocritical given i can't call myself aro either anymore and that i've #always been romance-positive and /wanted/ marriage but like #i get it and you get it we all get it

living with em just has me in this irrational , constant oscillation of idealization and genuine resentment and it’s not fair to them nor myself.. i can’t wait to put space between us ! and i can’t wait to have clarity that brings far more love into my relationships with them.

#and everytime i start to feel like they stole my life from me i gotta remember that like; while unfair; they kinda needed me more than i #i needed to (have a life) as dumb as that sounds #cause now they’re still the same broken people and i actually have all the chances in the world that they never did #and that is so fucking heartbreaking cause they deserve the world you know #so i can’t hate them for not knowing how to be parents. they never stood a chance #idk it feels like all of my sacrifices were in vain bc they’re still struggling but at the same time #they’re sincerely healing in real time. it’s cool to see. #it’s all on their own accord though i have had no part to play in that #and it took me all this time to realize it? #im so angry that they molded me into such an obedient and quiet kid who was too scared to do anything for myself #and they never actually needed me but they convinced me and themselves that they did #and I’ve missed out on so much life. granted I am so young and no one is truly responsible but myself for falling for that bullshit #im just grieving. and there’s a lot to grieve man. #anyways I’m gonna go shopping muahahaha

I'm a survivor of 2012 tumblr, I fought and defended Amy Pond, Clara Oswald, and River Song from tiresome accusations of being the exact same character, I've argue endlessly about how they have very different backgrounds, personality traits, flaws, character arcs, and goals in life, how they are not defined by their relationship with the Doctor nor the people they are related to, while also acknowledging that there are some valid criticism of how they were written, which is true pretty much every companion, I'm now at the stage where I really just need to bite my tongue when I see this lazy old arguments rise from the grave like the decrepit zombies they are.

#doctor who #dw #clara oswald #amy pond #river song #so tired of seeing these three reduced to words like sassy or sexy #and having huge chucks of who they are ignored #and then claimed we learn nothing about them #fuck off #that is just wrong #I could talk endlessly about what we know about clara #how she is vain and something of a know it all teacher's pet #she craves approval #but is also brave #compassionate #caring #in her first off world trip she sees a little girl in need and instantly goes to help her #she puts her own life on hold to stay and care for two young children who lost their mother #she's a bookworm with a thing for philosophical roman emperors #now compare that with amy #who saw a child crying and thought so what #because sad childhood was the norm for her #she drifts from job to job #unsure where she wants to go with her life #she is insecure and pushes away the people she cares about because she fears and expects to be abandoned #she can be quick to anger and is always ready to throw down #there really is so much to these characters #you honestly have to be wilfully ignorant not to see any of it

posting your artwork publically can be so rewarding and so motivating but most of the time it just results in psychological turmoil inflicted on yourself

#like oh my god girl help #im so sad and over my confidence to do with my art being paper thin and fragile but nothing changes no matter how much i like a piece #i hate the idea that artists only draw for interaction bc i definitely do not do that id have to be stupid to with the stuff i draw #but i also hate the idea that artists shouldn't want interaction on their work? like it's a very human emotion to want your work to be seen? #i just wish people liked my stuff more truly. im aware my style is specific and to a particular taste and ik that my work isn't the like #high flawless standard of most traditional art that gets posted. like ik that and like god i wish i had that skill level but i don't!! #i like what i do tho i just wish it felt like a lot of other people did idk maybe that's vain or something. I don't know!! #i wish i did digital art but i hate working digital lol #ppl don't believe me when i say that digital art is preferred over traditional online but i rlly believe it's true #and if your traditional art does well it's at the level of digital art flawlessness #im simultaneously like im too young to be crazy good like other people online but also im too old to be on the path to getting good. yk #i blame it on a small fandom sometimes but that's unfair bc art within small fandoms still does really well #idk i think im just a flop probably but also i think im insecure. schrodinger's online artist crisis #anyways sorry ignore this im just running my mouth don't pity reblog my shit or anything i don't want that #idk what i want but it's not that lmao #i think i want to be better at art and i want people to like my art. which i have like minimal control over. #being an artist is fun until the turmoil sets in

The reason that the princess and the pop star to be a princess song has only the vain and superficial parts of being a princess is because its actually a commentary on the British monarchy and how its purpose now is to be a figure head. As well as how the succession line is a superficial and ineffective system to choose a leader which results in the economic and physiological destruction of a country.

In this essay I will-

#barbie #barbie princess and the popstar #joke #but also #you know maybe? #like I know the movie is a capitalist money making scheme #that uses previous passionate work because origanlity is dead #and that is focusing only on the vain stuff coz thats whats they think is fun for young girls #but can you imagine man thatd be hilarious

one day when we’re all older I’ll be able to look at you all and say “we made it”

#This. This is what’s gotten me worked up #Cuz I know a lot of my mooties are for the most part are around my age or still young #And even for those who aren’t I think it still applies #But it makes me happy to know that none of this was ever in vain. Through everything it’s still you guys #The same people I’ve known for months #I can’t I’m just really emotio nnal rnnn iwuhhhw #S.K thinks

Marauders stans act like Remus stops being one when he's associated with Tonks. Uhm, no... He's still a Marauder, babe. It doesn't have a switch. 🙄

Like, imagine browsing a GENERAL tag and it shows not only the FANON ship that you love but also the CANNON ship that you don't like, and being mad about it... Like...🧍

I mean, love wolfstar all you like (I occasionally enjoy it too when it's written well, and I've definitely read more wolfstar than remadora) but this is ridiculous.

Besides, I'm pretty sure Deviantart uses tag nowadays?? Idk, correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's got tags shouldn't it also have a filter/block system? This sounds like negligent tagging/filter-blocking on the part of either the op above or the artists on DA... 🤷🏻‍♀️

#ffs stop shitting on remadora #or at least stop trashing it for vain reasons #also daily reminder thta ATYD is NOT cannon #because apparently some people need reminding #remus lupin #nymphadora tonks #pro remus lupin #pro nymphadora tonks #pro remadora #wolfstar #anti atyd #anti all the young dudes

It seems hard to me when I look at her sometimes, and think how many without one tithe of her genius or greatness of spirit have granted them abundant health and opportunity to labour through the little they can do or will do, while perhaps her soul is never to bloom nor her bright hair to fade, but after hardly escaping from degradation and corruption, all she might have been must sink out again unprofitably in that dark house where she was born. How truly she may say, 'No man may care for my soul.' I do not mean to make myself an exception, for how long I have known her, and not thought of this till so late—perhaps too late. But it is no use writing more about this subject; and I fear, too, my writing at all about it must prevent your easily believing it to be, as it is, by far the nearest thing to my own heart.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti writing of Lizzie Siddal's health in a letter dated 23 July, 1854

#european date orientation even tho it feels unnatural to my american brain #quotes #pre raphaelite #dante gabriel rossetti #rossetti #lizzie siddal #elizabeth siddal #elizabeth eleanor siddall #he really did admire her. not just the vague and vain concept of 'love' but he truly respected and appreciated her. #as much as a young victorian man could anyway...... #this book by jan marsh is so insightful. it's truly flipping a lot of my expectations and previous assumptions #i didn't realize how deeply he cared for her in all the years they were just courting. ppl made it sound like he encouraged her only a bit #in her artistic pursuits but he gave her all the credit and praise for everything. #lizzie could make one stroke on a canvas and he'd start crying #i think ppl confuse his later lurid affairs as a widower w him being a playboy in his 20s. which doesn't appear to be the case. #i remember reading somewhere years ago that there was no evidence he committed adultery in their (albeit short) marriage but ppl assume #based on what they know about him. but he and lizzie were still very young when she died and he was much more bright-eyed and bushytailed #it seems in her very early adulthood. #didn't yeats also lose his virginity when he was like 40??? and he of course got around w a lot of women once he did. #ppl always make assumptions of what historical figures must've been like based on their modern assumptions of how ppl behave #jan marsh is smashing my entire schema of dgr as a young man and im kinda here for it #the girlies are gagging for guggums

"If you inquire what the people are like here, I must answer, "The same as everywhere." The human race is but a monotonous affair. Most of them labour the greater part of their time for mere subsistence; and the scanty portion of freedom which remains to them so troubles them that they use every exertion to get rid of it. Oh, the destiny of man!"

Tumblr users mocking Tiktokers is clown on clown violence

#bestie there's no point to brag about not having a tiktok account if you're right there on Tumblr 🤡 #we're all clown out there🤡 #it's so obvious yall young bc previous gen socials medias such as Instagram and twitter were looked down #as being for vain and gossipy people #of course you don't have the energy to go after those social medias bc they've become so normal and widespread #clown as much tiktok as you want but soon enough it will be the norm too lol #this weird narrative to act like tiktok was more dangerous than other social medias is so weird anyway #like y'all forgot the damage lf Facebook? or do you just wanna run over zoomers from your clown car?🤔 #papi watch

I don’t bring it up often since I think my muse would be very catty about this info, but Sai is actually 48 years old.

For context, Varis is 46.

Do with this info what you will.

#i know there are older looking catboy faces in this game #but what can i say i really love this face #and i think sai is VERY vain and would desperately look as young as he can #also yes gil i stole one of ur icons for this post im sorry hgjhkjl #i just had to bring it up because i thought about it and its so funny to me #sai has senority in (1) whole thing and it's just in being older #ooc #ignore me #mun speaks

Wait where's that post about if Dorian Gray and Montparnasse knew each other they would become instant besties because it's the only correct opinion ever and I can't stop thinking about it

#no but think about it #they're both young and pretty and vain and kill people and are extremely dramatic #and both get their entire philosophy/world view changed by an old man which is incredibly strange that it's happened twice in literature #anyways yeah this is the only thing that matters anymore #les mis #les miserables #Montparnasse #dorian gray #tpodg #the picture of dorian gray
