There's gotta be at least one christian movie where the antagonistic force is a manic pixie dream girl, right?

Shows up out of nowhere, pushes the main character dude into trying new things his family would never approve of, being a woman with independence. MPDGs tick a lot of the boxes for a satanic archetype.

myself and other bigger homestuck analysis bloggers did not become enthusiastic literary analysts simply by reading a specific webcomic. we put in a lot of work learning how to properly read and appreciate the stories in front of us, and homestuck just happened to be the inspiration that was there at the time! the idea that the one thing stopping most people from intelligently engaging with fiction is that they just haven't found The Right Media yet bugs me to no end. you have to put in the work to better yourself intellectually a comic book isn't gonna do it for you

it's kinda difficult to talk about "cozy games" because that's an aesthetic and not a genre so its very broad, is it cozy to de clutter an apartment or go on a hike, is it cozy to be action packed or melodramatic or blithely unconfrontational, etc. but I think it's accurate to say that coziness is one of many shorthands that have been developed as an attempt to opt out of ideology, be about nothing. of course with a game made to evoke comfort comes a proclamation of what the author's society considers comfy

Please, don’t let our fathers be crushed in death lines. Don’t let us grow up among the ruins of life. 🙏❤️‍🩹

I’m Zeina, and today I turn twelve years old. I was supposed to celebrate like I used to in past years…

My 12th Birthday… No Cake, No Gifts, No Laughter

My dad would always prepare little surprises for me—delicious cake, a gift, maybe a new toy.I was the spoiled child of the house, and my joy meant the world to my family.

But this year is different.

This year, there’s No celebration. No cake, No gift, not even a candle to blow out. This year, there is war… famine… and fear that steals sleep from our eyes. I’m not crying over a cake or a toy—I'm crying over something much more important… "My father".

The man who always held me tightly is now at risk just by stepping outside to get us food. We fear he won’t return—only a body wrapped in a shroud.

We will not allow him to walk into death traps. We love him, and we want him to stay alive. We simply cannot bear to lose more.

But the truth is far more painful than any of these. Sami and his family are living outside this entire cycle. For over two years, they've been under constant bombing, displacement, and death. And the most heartbreaking part? His 7-year-old daughter, Leen, was seriously injured just days ago. Her back is wounded, there's no medicine, no food, and no relief from the pain. Do you think Leen deserves this? Shouldn't she have a chance to heal, to smile again?

Don't leave them alone. Donate now. Your support could open a door to hope.

THE GRIFTER LIFE CYCLE:

Grifter Nebula - Grifter is young, plucky, full of Idealogical zeal and original ideas. They understand the modern media landscape, and see a gap. This is Steven Crowder in his "change my mind" era.

Grifter Star - Grifter successfully gathers enough social capital to form a self-sustaining media presence. They no longer need to scrounge for listeners/followers/readers. They've found a niche and they can stick to it, but there's work to be done. They make enough money to be comfortable, but not enough that their decisions are entirely driven by profit. This is 99% of conservative YouTubers. Jordan Peterson is here.

Grifter Giant - A breakthrough. The grifter successfully enters the mainstream. Viral success, a radio show, a pastorship at a church, a memeable interview on FOX has brought a massive, massive audience to the grifter. The grifter now has real social power. The things the grifter says have a real chance of influencing actual political policy. The realm of Andrew Tate, Candice Owens post daily wire, and Alex Jones just post 9/11.

Grifter Planetary Nebula - A rare stage, not every grifter achieves this state. Most skip directly to the break point. Here, the grifter IS the discourse. This is Rush Limbaugh at the height of his career, Elon Musk during his time in the white house, every preacher at the height of the satanic panic. Politicians pray at your altar. They come to YOU, not the other way around. Not just the fringe weirdos either. Actual, respectable people have to factor you in. Ends when the grifter dies of lung cancer at 75.

BREAK POINT - CHOSE A PATH:

Grifter Black Hole - After years of dominating the grifting narrative, copycats emerge. The grifter begins to drown in a media landscape chock full of modern impressions of their schtick. The grifter loses relevance among the sleek, exciting, copycats, and is forced to say increasingly insane shit to stay relevant. Or is frankly seen as an embarrassing relic of a previous age, Associating with the grifter at this point COSTS social capital, and usually isn't worth it. This is Elon Musk post white House, Milo Yianopolus post defending pedophilia.

Grifter White Dwarf - Grifter quietly fades into obscurity. She took everything in the divorce, and your expenses are pretty modest. The grifter can get by on the core audience they built up over the years, slowly drinking themselves to death as they podcast from the Florida suburbs. You are crashing on Andrew Tates couch, but he doesn't put you in videos.

Why do I even enjoy drawing shit like this >:I

[trans mutual aid request]

hey there! I don't use this site much anymore but I thought I would spread this around as things are pretty dire for me financially rn !

spent a few months unemployed, drained my savings, and now the rent money I'm expecting thru unemployment isn't coming in bc I got a job (naturally this doesn't take into account the fact that im making sub minimum wage with not a lot of hours, and it'll be weeks till my first paycheck)

hoping to raise at least $350 to make rent this month and stay housed. Anything else goes to feeding myself & my son brady (pictured below)

anything helps, reposts included! so naturally don't feel obligated if donating puts you in a tight spot (we're all struggling rn & there are a million better causes to contribute to!)

If you were all inventing Make a Terrible Comic Day for a laugh I'm going to be mad. My aesthetic sense is okay and my drawing skills are worse, so here's an informational comic on how I whip up sigils.
