I didn’t even think about it like this but you’re right

Okay if there’s 1 piece of advice you youngins take from older people I hope it’s this one: all you young artists?

Stop being okay with watching ads to make art.

I don’t fucking care how much you love ibis or clipart. Please. Please please. For the love of all that is sacred in this world, do not let your art-making capabilities rely on a specific program that is accessible in your pocket, but at the fee of your attention, your time, your energy, and your effort.

If you’re creating art, and the program hinders your progress, prevents you from advancing in your work, or pauses your process in any way that takes away your time, or refuses to provide access to essential tools until it sells your attention to some corporation that seeks your financial support, delete the fucking app.

If you can’t afford 20$ to get full access to Procreate on your iPad/iphone, or can’t install SAI or can’t spend 1.99$ for the full version of Sketchbook on your android device

Please. Please. PLEASE. just start putting pencil to paper. Don’t let capitalism take away your ability to make art. Making art is FREE!

If you only want to be a digital artist, you can thrift old Wacom and Bamboo tablets that WORK JUST AS GOOD TODAY!!! seriously I took one home from savers bc I was nostalgic and it was 5$ and it is seriously just as good as my 2,500$ iPad Pro set up. It even has features my iPad doesn’t have!!!!

Make art with notebook paper and shitty ballpoint pens you got for free from your local clinic. Sharpen your pencil on the pavement outside. Roll up newspaper into a smudging stick. Travel over models in magazines with your lipstick and give them a new outfit.

Please stop letting corporate greed steal your time.

Please stop being okay with it.

Stop letting them make you think it’s fine.

It’s not fine. It’s early stage fascism.

Ppl who had time for romance in high school we are so different. i was busy fighting for my life in my head

[pigeon-on-a-wire]

This is so beautifully said 😭

One of my favorite things about both Theon and Jeyne's stories both coming to the forefront again in ADWD is how Winterfell/Stark heavy their stories are with neither of them being true Starks. Their entire lives prior to the series kicking off had been to be the yes man/woman, number 2 choice, best friend to the actual heir - firstborn lord and lady of Winterfell - in their friendships with Robb and Sansa. I don't doubt that their friendships were true and that they really cared about them, but they definitely must have known their own statuses in comparison to Robb and Sansa. And so having Jeyne return as 'Lady Arya' and Theon as both the Prince and Ghost of Winterfell AND both of them reclaiming themselves in a way all while in the bedrocks of their childhood home....is really good lol.

l as well like how their ending (so far) is one of the truest to 'undissected' high fantasy romance we have seen so far. By romance I don't mean like they're actually in love with each other. I enjoy Theyne as a ship but only as a several years later type AU lol. But by romantic I mean how the actions Theon takes to save Jeyne are absolutely the kind of deeds that get people songs written about them in this series, romantic in the idealized way people imagine stories like this, and I think that's kind of beautiful as well as horrible. It is dissecting classic high fantasy in a way as it's showcasing the absolutely monstrous things that precede someone doing something like saving a maiden from an impenetrable fortress, all of the awful and unsavory parts that go along with it. But Jeyne and Theon still get that almost fairytale ending in Dance and I greatly enjoy that Jeyne - our lady of a minor noble house sold into sexual slavery and then forced to pass herself off as Arya, and Theon - our hostage turned turncloak turned regretful turned Reek turned Theon once more - are the ones who get to experience it. 🥲

"Abel had doomed them. All singers were half-mad. In songs, the hero always saved the maiden from the monster's castle, but life was not a song, no more than Jeyne was Arya Stark."

This quote is fantastic because I think it cuts deep into the heart of Jeyne and Theon's story. In any other story this is true and honestly in this one it is as well. No one would find it worth remembering Reek and Ramsay's frightened wife or Jeyne the whore. But in a song they can be more than that. They ARE the hero and the maiden escaping from the monsters castle, regardless of what anyone else may tell them. It doesn't matter that Jeyme is not truly Arya bc they still live out that trope and live to see another day for it. They are the antithesis and the blueprint of what makes up the songs of this series.

Anyway, I'm a little wine drunk and Jeyne and Theon subverting and also living out the tropes of fantasy as part of their regaining themselves plot is very special to me. 🥲

Can I test your pain tolerance?

You know, as a friend. 👉👈

Whumper dug their boot into Whumpee’s bleeding shoulder. “You will do it, Whumpee, I promise you. Why not save yourself the pain and just agree now?”

Whumpee spat blood up at Whumper. “I’d rather die!”

Whumper chuckled. “I can’t quite arrange that,” Whumper kicked them in the jaw, “but I can’t get you damn close.”

hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously

A kind Whumper who gives Whumpee everything they ask for

Whumpee asked for water, and so they were waterboarded/drowned. Whumpee was cold so Whumper either locks them in a burning hot room, or sets a part of them on fire They're hot? Ice bath for a couple of hours Tired? Sedate them constantly until they can't remember how many days have passed. Maybe play a sick game of twisting the world when they awake. " YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE!!! THREE YEARS, WHUMPEE. I'VE WAITED THREE YEARS" keep on playing mind games until they start to believe you, only to shatter their new reality. Maybe they wake up with Whumper not around, believing they've been freed. WHumper's friends play into the delusion, just long enough for Whumper to get home before mocking a devastated Whumpee. Bored? Give them so much labour, they can barely walk after. hungry? force them to eat until they're puking lonely? Kidnap another person and keep gift them to Whumpee. Make sure they both know who's fault it is that they were taken.

I love contradictory situations in whump

Afraid and absolutely terrified Whumpee lashing out at Whumper, maybe actually managing to scratch or bite them

Whumper cooing gently and oh so sweetly while kicking Whumpee into the ground

Whumpee so out of due to drugs and whatnots, but they still manage to throw insults at Whumper

Whumper cradling Whumpee, gently carding through their hair with one hand and pressing a knife at their throat with another

My darlings…

I say post- Ramsay Theon is a nail biter and a skin picker and freaks himself out whenever he realises he’s gone too deep.

Whumpee who has been extensively conditioned to react to touch:

a touch on their neck and they immediately become limp and pliant

touch their shoulders and they drop to their knees

touching their wrist will make them drop whatever they're holding

a gentle tug on their clothes and they take them off

some touches make them flinch away

and other touches they lean into

(more nsfw-ish/triggering content below the cut)

touching their lips makes them open their mouth and suck on your fingers

a touch on their thighs and they open their legs
