everyone hates orange until they actually see her in context. "oh it's such an ugly color, too bright!" look at sunsets and autumn, look at campfires and deserts. she's the most beautiful and special part of the scene. now apologize.

If you saw the new Nimona movie and loved her like I did then you might like this shark design I made!

She's up here on Teepublic, Threadless, and Redbubble and sales go to support a queer art student!

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.

Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.

just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Despite being a bird of prey, falcons are actually more closely related to parrots than they are to hawks or eagles. In 2008 it was discovered that falcons and kestrels– now classified in the order Falconiformes– share a more recent common ancestor with parrots than they do with other birds of prey, which fall under the order Accipitriformes.

The best character development is when the antagonist doesn't even really change or redeem himself. Like no, he still sucks, he's just on our side now.
