religious killer: i can hear God speaking to me, to kill the demons that live in this world with my gun of justice

atheist killer: I kill only because of my own moral code. Whether it's for money so I can survive, or self-defense against a threat, I am the one who chooses when I kill.

agnostic killer: nobody really knows why I shoot people

Rings my fucking bell, like a perennial fucking plague maiden:

Center harm, not disgust!

When in doubt (and when not in doubt, just swept by problems bigger than you and assured by someone that they know the answer, so don't think right now, just Do!), center harm.

Focus on what specific harm you're reducing with your actions. Make sure it's tangible and concrete. If your actions are minimizing hypothetical harm at the cost of real, tangible harm on others, 9 out 10 times you're on the wrong fucking side, being weaponized by propaganda.

If a conversation revolves around disgust as a driver for action, you're being radicalized. If a call to action depends on your emotional response, you're being manipulated. I'm sorry, this isn't the 90s anymore, social media has eroded the web of respectability of the pre internet society. The primary axis for misinformation to spread in this day and age is emotional response: half the things you believe are true and share as such are not based on fact, expert opinion or personal research. Social media has conditioned us (all of us! You and me and most dangerously of all, the idiots we put in power) that if something feels true, it probably is.

But do you know for sure it is? Do you think it's true because you have first hand experience or actual time spent on reputable sources learning it to be fact? Or just because it aligns with your worldview and it would be nice for you if it were true?

Are you taking action because you're angry and a group of fellow angry folk invited you to join them? Do you have a plan or is this just catharsis? Are you aware of the consequences of your actions or are you drunk on rage and focused only on the immediate future?

Center harm. Center specific actions and their consequences.

Discomfort is not harm. Disgust is not harm. Hypothetical paranoia is not harm.

The reactionary pipeline is real and your self-image as a progressive is not actually enough to save you from falling down the hole. Radicalization is not hinged on politics alone. Saying you're a leftist is worthless if your thought process and actions themselves are indistinguishable from qanon losers. Conspiratorial thought has literally no politics inherently, and your insistence it does is pure lack of critical thought on display.

Center harm, not feelings, not politics, not group think.

Center harm, and remember that individual actions cannot dismantle systemic structures on their own, so anyone who calls for individual action at the cost of community structures is not actually trying to change anything, and instead actively suppressing efforts to make anything better in any way.

hiii!!! I love your art and coloring its sooo yummy but I was wondering what ur sketches usually look like? I’m trying to learn to draw bodies and idrk what im doing 💔

I drew up these magician Vistas today. Be loose with the shapes and anatomy and focus on getting the overall vibe you want.

Afterwards I duplicate the sketch and clean it up into a proper mannequin, add clothes on top, and it's turned into lineart. A common problem is the pose becoming too stiff as you 'correct' it, so I keep a version of it, made purely from vibes, as reference.

For sketching itself, learn the major bone structures/muscle&fat tissues/proportions. Hit up the books/youtubers/whatever. I personally drew them over photos/artwork to get used to their shape and relationships with each other. And do a lot of gesture drawings (there's sites for that).

For ACTUAL sketching, start with the torso/hips. They have the most influence on how the pose will turn out. Best to have a reference or at least some vague concept (what's the angle? are they standing, bending down, etc?) as a starting point.

The important thing is learning various ways to not just simplify the body to suit your needs at the time, but also drawing enough 'internal references' for yourself to make sure you understand the pose.

I highlighted some shapes/guidelines i use in red. Contouring the hair/thighs, using the spine to keep everything centered, classic boxes/cylinders, etc. Preferably you draw enough for you to 'get' what you're drawing and from there just focus on fun shapes.

I’ve now caught up on the Otherside Picnic and Volume 8 might be the peak of the series? Not that I haven’t loved the other volumes, lofi lesbians to lose your mind to has been my jam, but everything about it is just so engaging.

Starting with not an ultimatum but a “hey, I really want to know what we are” and then proceeding to make the rest of the volume about almost nothing but answering that question is so good. It’s got multiple legitimately honest conversations about queerness and romance that I just so rarely see, but also ties the Otherside into that same conversation by making some of the most horrifying parts of the series happen at the same time. Of particular highlight is when Sorawo finds herself alone on the Otherside and it’s truly terrifying how being alone there is.

And the entire very honest conversation Sorawo and Toriko have at Toriko’s apartment is just the best. It’s very messy as they talk through exactly how their communication didn’t work with what they wanted, even though they both want to be in a relationship. It’s great that the first time they try and have sex it’s just so bad. Like 8 lines in a chapter for the entire thing and everyone, the characters and audience immediately know it’s bad. But they work through that as well and figure out each others needs.

And the realization that they can touch and look at the other, and that to do so would literally drive the other insane but doing so anyway because they know that the other is there to put them back together. Truly they have a relationship no one else could understand.

They’re also both just huge dorks in the “you’re boobs are cute” and “let’s have an after party for sex” kind of way. They don’t make each other better, they make each other more. And it’s terrify and beautiful, but that’s what the series is all about.

This is my found family. Not in a familial kind of way but in a Yakuza kind of way. Everyone here is very scary, at least slightly insane and is breaking the law constantly. Also the amount of untraceable cash being moved through everyone here is very high.

Otherside Picnic is fun.
