Honestly glad people are enjoying my Noir art :')

He's become a fast comfort character for me and I find it incredibly relaxing drawing and painting in black and white, hence why all my noir art is monochromatic ✨

I like the idea that everyone sees me as stoic and emotionless, but the sadist sees through that. They see my interior, what I'm like inside, and they don't let me hide. They see what I am like in pain, how I sound in pain, they turn what was once quite a stoic man into a begging and crying mess. They break him

white t girl i love you. and also do not forget that you are not the modern martyr for the oppressed voice. that's still black girls. it's always been black girls. stories of black martyrdom simply don't make it into the news cycle until the unrest caused by its reporting can be packaged as a "riot" segment between traffic reports. i know you suffer, but whatever you're experiencing, i beg you, when interacting with your community and building nuanced understandings of each other and the system which binds us, to not forget that a black tgirl has felt it 100 times worse before positioning yourself as an authority on all systems of oppression for having suffered unjustly at all. because you have suffered unjustly, but suffering unjustly as a white person means something so much different.

I just woke up and somehow the only thought in my head was Jason Todd as an Etsy witch but he only sells ‘violent spells’ and instead of doing spell work he just personally goes out and beats the shit out of whoever you choose

Thinking about Marluxia from KH.... And especially how he's been like, one of my faves for the longest outta ANY character I've ever liked consistantly.

Besides Kuja Final Fantasy 9 (who ranks as my absolute fave), Marluxia straight up comes in second, or, if you'll allow it, he's tied first place with Kuja. I just love him so much RAAAAHGG

And for funsies, have one of my earliest Marluxia fanarts vs now >:3 bc I've been feeling hekken nostalgic for my early KH days

Those "modern fairy tales where the princess saves herself" types of books not only misrepresent the gender roles in fairy tales (there are tons of stories where girls get to save the day), but they fundamentally misunderstand the entire genre.

Fairy tales aren't about saving yourself.

These aren't epic myths or heroic legends about the great warriors who slay every monster in their path because they're so awesome. Fairy tales are almost always about ordinary, even incompetent, people who get thrown into strange situations where they only succeed because of the help of others.

It's not a gendered thing. The boy who goes off to seek his fortune is usually the dim-witted third son whose older brothers are the strong, smart ones. The third son succeeds because he is kind to the magical helpers who then complete the tasks for him--and the exact same thing happens when a girl is the main character.

The characters in a fairy tale rarely succeed because they embrace their own strength and take their own path. Much more often, they are told step-by-step what to do, and they succeed because they obey--respecting the wisdom of others.

The core virtue of a fairy tale is not pride, but humility. It's not a story about the strong, but those who are weak, small, helpless. The people who can't do it all on their own, but can recognize the worth and wisdom of others.

Turning this story into a "girl power" (or even a "boy power") story warps it into something that is fundamentally the opposite of a fairy tale, and it has nothing to do with the gender of the main character.
