So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.

I keep trying to like red wine like a grown-up but like … it’s rotten grapes, guys. You can drink things that don’t taste like rotten grapes. Why

look…………….. write as much shitty fic as you want. nobody can stop you. you’re learning constantly and it’s better to write hackneyed implausible ridiculousness than it is to not write at all out of fear of fucking up. you’re good

Here are some pics from a Springtime meetup I went to with some good friends! My hair is currently in crochet braids, so I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do with it. In the end I pinned it up in several different spots and was happy with the way it turned out~

For those who have braided hair and struggle with trying to figure out how to wear it with cosplay or lolita, just spend some time in the mirror and look at photos for inspiration. Also do some improvising. You’ll have lots of fun with it!

also here!

Hand-Colored Print Fragment of an Adoration featuring Balthazar

Netherlands (c. 1470)

So, okay. I know that sometimes when I post this sort of thing, especially stuff that’s NOT a painting, and not in good condition, and is very stylized, it will often pass unremarked upon by most. And I get that. It’s okay-it’ll always be a very important part of the whole.

But like. Do me a favor. And just…contemplate this guy for a moment.

I just….love this, so much. I love his hair (that pattern!), his face (like a Sun-In-Splendor!!), and how the richness of his gift, the sincere gesture of crown to heart, and his humble expression convey so much depth in so few lines.

Additionally, I feel that even with the extreme stylization, I get a very strong impression of what this person as depicted could have looked like (in my personal opinion):

That’s Alfred Enoch, by the way.

And while it’s probably a bit silly, I just can’t find myself becoming tired of looking at something so many centuries old, and being able to see someone who looks like you, or me, or someone we all know.

It’s the kind of carefree, simple fun that I grew up being led to believe was something only white people were “allowed” to do, or had access to. That anytime I wanted to engage in this way, the only “role” I could have would have been one of dehumanized degradation, so I might as well not only accept my erasure, but thank them for not depicting me.

This isn’t implying we should shy away from unpleasant truths and holding history accountable. What I mean to say is, we can have this, too. We can be whimsical and silly and have fun and write stories and create art-and sure, plenty of people invested in “whites-only” narratives would throw a “historical accuracy” sh*tfit if someone were to paint Alfred Enoch in the 15th century fashion Balthazar up there is wearing. They always do.

But what does it matter when we have this? It might be a fragment, it might be hand-colored and messy, but it’s real. It’s the truth. And I love it.

Ahhh so I happened to watch Pocahontas again for the first time since a million years and it suddenly seemed obvious to me re-watching it that poor Nakoma is completely smitten with Pocahontas… And no one can convince me otherwise that they didn’t kiss under the upturned canoe, so this picture. : 3

(Half-way through doing this I realized that Pocahontas didn’t have the necklace on during this scene but um, maybe after she got it they went back and kissed again?)

And why is there practically zero fic of Nakoma/Pocahontas? ;__; I only ever found two fills… Internet! You’ve let me down.
