Of tragedies and timeloops

It's been a while since I've worked on a sincere, longer-form landscape study. I still had to keep a time limit of one hour on this, but I still had a lot of fun focusing on this. Daily drawing 2472.

A teeny tiny embroidered bead* lizard for my jacket!

*no actual beads were used but I figure if I can crochet a bead lizard I can embroider one

[ID: A minimalist colourful lizard embroidered onto a denim jacket. It is green with a blue mark on its back and blue stripes on its tail, and its legs are orange. It has red neck markings. End ID]

they don't call him Ladders for nothin!

Tag yourself as this list of “bad art” features, according to a twitter fascist

“Never Forget” until the new target is those that they disagree with.

Edit: please watch this video essay by Jacob Geller. It speaks on really important points as to how “bad art” is a weapon of fascism and how it reflects the Degenerate Art Exhibition(s)

I think mostly what young fandom types (and I guess younger people in general) who are very very invested in the idea that “20 is still basically a minor” need to understand is that the feeling of “I’m just a child pretending to be an adult, and everyone else around me is a REAL adult” is DEEPLY universal (and won’t stop, ever, by the way, sorry!) and also is not, like, praxis.

Believe me, I get it, but the self-infantilization needs to stop, especially when you’re trying to engage in conversations about actual children and the harms they can face. Yes, it is scary to wake up and realize you’re 22 and you still feel like you’re 15, but it happens to all of us. You’re an adult. You have to deal with it.

...Yes, I love these two very much I get so happy seeing them together ;w; This has to be one of my favorite episodes, I was so happy seeing Cole again! Geo is also amazing and ugh...fantastic~

Just a start of a few fan art pieces for Dragons rising!

Enjoy!

Band au makes its return

“Get your hands off of her.”

A follow-up to this wonderful Wisdomverse fanart by @deeeeeeeer3 of Dawn and …Hyrule? :). (Check the comments of that post for an explanation)

This is exactly what I had in mind when I came up with the hyrule tunic theory, and even before then! I had something very similar planned as a backstory scene for the Decline Trio— and when I came up with the tunic theory, I was glad to have a more fitting explanation for how Echo and Hyrule knew Dawn was in trouble. So Deer’s art is perfect, and even more so for more reasons than I can say at the moment. Love the art, Deer! I had a lot of fun drawing this response!

(Also, looks like this is my 50th Extra! What a fitting choice of artwork 😆)

Whoa! A GBAFE sprite for Echo!!?!? She looks so cool!

Would 100% field her for every battle and watch her decimate the competition >:)

Oh man, this is making me want to write a #lin thinks post about which Fire Emblem class each of the Wisdomverse Zeldas would be… Resist the temptation, Lin! I need to work on the main comic first! 😆

I really wish slime rancher was popular again 😔

I miss it’s peak

not proshipper not anti but a secret third thing (person who has a career in the media and, through covering legislative politics, has watched "associating with problematic fiction or entertainment is an indicator of moral degeneracy" rapidly become a mainstream GOP position that they are encoding in legislation to target the queer community under the guise of protecting children, thus coming to the conclusion that positioning the "can people enjoy things that would be immoral IRL in their fiction" debate as a proship v anti fandom debate is akin to pretending that "should we have the death penalty" is a discussion that only matters in Death Note discourse — the extent and manner to which fiction affects reality is an issue that is immediately relevant to today's US politics, and to summarize my opinions on the matter in fandom terms would be to diminish the ways this debate is affecting america Right The Fuck Now. and i have stopped taking "this person is bad for shipping the wrong anime thing and being horny about it" in any sort of good faith ever since I saw it literally used as part of a GOP smear campaign against a transgender state legislator in an attempt to defend the right from backlash after they used their supermajority in the Montana house to prevent her from speaking on the floor. Anyway I think everyone on this site, especially Americans, could benefit from ceasing to think in proship v anti vocabulary and instead developing coherent political positions on the nature of fiction that do not directly align with current fascist political tactics)

and yes, this does pretty much align with the "proshipper" position — to be clear, i'm firmly in the camp that it's literally fine to ship whatever and engage in fiction however you want and people are not morally wrong for making art that engages, even gleefully or pornographically, in dark topics. the reason i still choose to not call myself a proshipper is for a few reasons:

-there are so many different implications under that umbrella, and i resent the dichotomy that reduces so many different positions on so many different aspects of media studies to two different labels. such a framing actively stifles discussion and prevents people from having tough and thorny conversations about media with people they mostly agree with

-i think "proshipper" is only a useful positional label for people whos primary mode of engagement with media is through fandom. but as a journalist and queer person, the main ways in which the "does fiction affect reality and how" issue interfaces with my life have nothing to do with fandom, so it feels backwards to me to define my opinions regarding media in relation to the area that has the least relevance to my life

-i want my actual opinions to be the most visible part of how i engage with fandom, rather than a label that will cause everyone to draw nuance-stripped conclusions that vary depending on which "side" they fall on. i want people to listen to me, not project their expectations onto me and listen to a phantom of me they've created

-why should i? if people are willing to engage with me regarding media discussion, it shouldn't matter whether i choose to identify as a proshipper or not — they should treat my ideas on their own merits. and if people think that i'm a sick freak for "condoning" whatever is problematic these days, they're not going to care what i call myself, they're going to call me a sick freak anyways. and im kinda petty and want them to actually have to read my posts and rub two braincells together to interpret things and think critically about how to label me instead of seeing "proship" and slamming the cancel button

who is this grain character?
