how is holly staying cool for the summer?

"most of the time i gotta keep the windows in the van rolled down cuz the AC is busted to shit. It's Not THAT bad while we're actually moving, but it's like sittin in an oven when it's parked."

"I got this trick i can do sometimes though! If i can park near an outlet, i can set up this portable AC i found and make the van nice and chilly!"

I understand where people who say "at least rop is getting more people into tolkien" are coming from but unfortunately my tolkien-obsessed brain can only reply with a very purist "what's the point if it'll only make them enter tolkien's world with a ton of misconceptions and wrong perceptions of many themes, events and characters therefore not really getting them into tolkien but someone else's warped version of tolkien; the only way to get into tolkien is to acually READ him"

it's no-one's fault that it happens and nothing can be done about BUT ☝️ at least it also makes me so very painfully frustrated

wait you understand that kinks are ok because they're fantasies that make you happy right? you all get that you don't need to have trauma for your kinks to be okay? right? like none of you think i witnessed a tragic accident on the pool toy assembly line right?

taking away a clowngirl's makeup telling her she doesn't have to be a clown she can just be a normal silly billy and correcting her any time she tries to juggle until she gets sadder and sadder and eventually stops talking altogether and just communicating via gestures and realizing with horror you've created a mimegirl

On the tennis court! 白いテニスコートに !

This is of course based off that one Audra McDonald/Anne Hathaway Twelvth Night picture, but tennis

Drawing in PC paintbrush is cool, I'm having a lot of fun with dithering and learning how to use the program. Some of the tools make me think about modern art programs and the desire to emulate physical media, when PC paintbrush in all its 1984 neon glory fully embraces aspects of the media that are difficult in physical media. (THERE'S EVEN A MOVE, GROW, AND FLIP CAPABILITIES) (i do not know how to make those work.)

I am working on the art for a VN that my girlfriend is writing and programming for the yuri games jam. The really neat thing though is that I'm drawing in a predecessor to MS paint from the 80s.

There's some features that exist in this that are incredibly unique and I honestly love playing around with textures in PC Paintbrush.

Said it a year ago and I’ll say it again.

Pirate all your favorite shows, movies and games while you still have the chance.

Oh, and never stop supporting physical media.

"and the general public is unaware of it" So uh, I hate to burst your bubble here, but The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea sold SIX MILLION UNITS the year it was released ALONE. It was so popular it got re-released in 2008 AND in a combo set in 2013. It's SOUNDTRACK ALONE was so popular it was released TWICE. It's recommended to watch by every single person watching any Little Mermaid on Disney plus. Oh yeah, it's promoted by the company itself? On their own platform? The actors of the live action remake LITERALLY TALKED ABOUT THE SECOND MOVIE. It's so relevant they've considered REMAKING IT. Just because YOU aren't informed about something doesn't mean the general public doesn't know about it. I think folks who are so into Disney they're looking up shipping art online MIGHT be aware of the second movie existing. Ahem... Anyways... Ignoring that utterly incorrect knowledge of Disney history... I have questions for you. Why are you instantly assuming some sort of bad intent when coming across this piece of art? If you don't want folks "attacking" you, why are you going out and attacking others? If you don't want "pro shippers" interacting with you, why are you going out of your way to interact with people you consider as such? A lot of people enjoyed this art because they approached it in good faith. You don't HAVE to assume there's some sort of ill intent with age gaps in an art piece. It is in fact, it's perfectly reasonable to assume random strangers are not evil and trying to do some sort of secret grooming behavior! Perhaps someone drew a cute piece with lesbians and posted it on the internet not thinking they'd need to put in a ton of details because it's just cute fucking art of a character NOT EVEN IN HER CANON DRESS so who the fuck knows which movie she'd be from, and figured people could get the context that it's just supposed to be cute lesbians together. They could be aged up, they could be aged DOWN, who cares? The context is just wholesome lesbian romance. Their age was not a focus of the picture, the storyline of the mini comic here, NOTHING.

It's YOU who decided something was wrong here. You made this "problematic" in your own mind, not the artist. This is a perfectly harmless piece of art. But hey, you don't like it? Some folks have the maturity to simply scroll past something if they dislike it because it's not hurting anyone in any capacity. You broke that social contract of just living and letting live, and now seem surprised that perfectly kind and normal folks who don't see bogey men around every corner are taking the time to educate you not only on having good manners, but on how a concept called lateral violence works. Here, take a look at this very famous Tumblr post to learn more. Do not assume you know of "all the fandom" just because you hang out in one tiny portion of it. This artist has been consuming Disney media since before you were alive. Maybe, just maybe, they have experience with a far wider breadth and scope of Disney fandom than you do. P.S. Internalized homophobia is a thing. We can hurt people within our own communities and have prejudices against people in them despite being a part of said communities. People aren't saying you're homophobic just because you have an issue with age gaps. People are raising their eyebrows because you decided you couldn't keep your fingers off a keyboard long enough to leave a perfectly kind artist who has dedicated a blog to Disney femslash spaces for OVER A DECADE alone who posted a cute picture. Are you going this hard against folks drawing canon age gap weirdness of Ariel and Eric? If not, that's the point people are trying to get across. If you're only being weird to someone making a LESBIAN piece of art... Maybe consider why you're doing that. @jacarandaaaas

Isabela: Ariel! That's -

Ariel: 😀

Spread The Word: Da Share Z0ne Is DONE

As of today we'd better not be sharing their posts around anymore and getting the word out that the guy running it now is trash. Cuz do you support trans people? Do you hate the idea of a trans person being cheated out of her money from a highly successful Kickstarter and being chased out of the group she basically did all the work to make succeed? Well guess what happened with the funny skeleton meme makers? Below is a Google Doc from the person ran out of the group explaining all the details. You can see how things are unfolding on Xitter too if you want. Fuck Drew, fuck Da Share Z0ne, we aren't supporting that shiz anymore! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QBwTeS3c5v1CJYQys68wBECrexEh4I1yWWtWT93ilWM/preview

Hey anime fans, let's all agree right now that we're not promoting or hyping up whatever the bullshit McDonalds is trying to do right now.

There is a literal genocide happening right now. The least we can do is support the ongoing boycotts.
