Hi! Since i talked about it on webtoons/tapas i thought i could here too I currently can't draw too much because of my wrist, it started to hurt more than a month ago and i kinda ignored it so it didn't go better, rn i'm wearing a splint, the doctor said it was ok to draw but just a little, so this is what i do

The art i post here is not art i just drew, it's usually art i did 1-2 months before, as i post earlier on Kofi!! So please don't think i'm drawing way too much because i still post a lot of art

Honestly i'm very depressed about that, i usually do nothing but drawing and this is all i like doing in my life, well i don't have much choice About Artfight, since i can still draw a little, i will go at my own pace, obviously i won't be able to do as much as the previous year, and i will probably do a lot more doodles and quick stuff (i've been waiting artfight for so long and it's my fav time of the year, i really hate that my wrist is like this rn </3)

That being said, i also cannot draw commission, yet i still have no income , you can still support me on Kofi if you'd like to! I still post on it, less of course, but i still post quite a lot! https://ko-fi.com/cyellolemon/tiers

For my comic, i won't be able to post the next chapter until i recover, and i have no idea of when it will be, i hope you understand

That's it! :)

Hi! A quick question regarding the callout posts mentioning vampire-exgirlfriend "There is a right and a wrong way to engage with media. That is actually an inarguable fact. And there is specifically a right and a wrong way to engage with Fire & Blood/House of the Dragon." - as far as i understand it, this line in their post was the thing that started the argument. May we know what was the take home message of that? Because from a neutral standpoint it looks like they're shaming anyone who doesn't engage with the canon in the way vampire-exgirlfriend does.

Hello anon! Hope you're having a good one! It is rainy here and chilly.

First off: this is absolutely a question you should be asking @vampire-exgirlfriend about directly and not me. And genuinely, please ask her about it (instead of people who decide they want to name drop her in someone's inbox for... whatever reason).

To your question: That wasn't ever the intent. The conversation that spurred the post was about how fandom and parts of fandom treat F&B as a strictly historical document, and the general sense of feeling like people are forgetting that first and foremost F&B is fiction. It's inspired by historical works and history, but it's not an actual historical document and a ton of information is missing that you normally would have when discussing historical texts (like we see people debating normal historians' takes - have you seen Tudor History tumblr??) And because of this missing information, you have a lot of holes and are having to make assumptions and often times I think it's very easy to turn it into George is a bad world builder, etc, instead of embracing the interesting thematic discussions we had/have about the main book series that are rarely taken over by historical meta.

That's it. That was the intent of the post. It wasn't calling anyone out specifically, it was a frustration in fandom for treating F&B like a real world text and the utter lack of literary discussion about it - discussion that I also think rightfully should be a priority when discussing something fictional. That sort of analysis should come first, and the history second. While George's world is inspired by real world history, it's not 1 for 1 translation. He's making commentary, and often times that commentary is rooted on the patriarchy and harm to women and how we have, for one example, this cycle of brother vs sister in the story and that's the core part of Dany's storyline.

And no one, especially @vampire-exgirlfriend, is saying NOT to have historical discussion about it - again, there has been some really fantastic meta about it! but I think, personally, it's gotten to the 'because this happened in the real world, this is why this side is right in the book' and I think the lit analysis has been lost. I equate it to a discussion I had with my cousin who was going on 'but it was like that back then!' and me taking her by the shoulders and going 'dragons and magic aren't real, this is a fantasy book that's inspired' (when I was expressing frustration with poor Sansa's storyline in the show).

TL;DR: Fire & Blood is not an actual historical analysis therefore should not be primarily engaged with as a historical document because it's fiction, or as I like to call it, a 'mock-u-history book'. The historical analysis should supplement it as framework of George's themes.

Unrelated because I don't remember sharing this here: there's this blog (aka @arsimtecture ) I run with a friend and where I share nice pixel interiors from both ts4 and ts3 (ts2 might come eventually, but couldn't find much that caught my eye under the usual tags) aaaaand I'm inviting all of you to share your pretty pixel interiors or builds with me there!

I admit I'm more likely to share stuff that looks more "realistic" but I'm willing to share any other style if you guys are willing to tag me or @arsimtecture in your posts! (You can also tag it as #arsimtecture as we track that one too ;)

Managed to write 3500 words between social obligations this weekend.

When I make characters I fully set on not changing anything about them, but I'm going to change miss to be 26, she was 22 before. I made her when I was 19 and looking back her being that young doesn't make since because she's living on her own without contact to her family. Where did she get the money? She's been saving up for a few years so she can finally get her apartment. The 10 years younger difference to lazer also makes sense with the theming I have with them. He's uh 36 lol

Heeeey!

Here's my face

You can call me B, I'm 28 yo, I live in Brazil, I'm bissexual, I go by any pronouns (honestly I'm still figuring stuff out) and my favorite color is green.

I'm a history teacher, I'm part of a scientific school focused on students that wants to persue medical carrers and right now I'm taking a second degree in psicopedagogy.

This is my one and only blog, I post a lot about Louis, One Direction, fanfic (I do believe in larrie and ziam), Hozier, music in general, moodboards, I really love poetry and every now and then I get obsessed with a new thing and press reblog like there's no tomorrow.

@tanajurassauro is my personal blog, follow if you want to but I do not recommed you to do that if you'r under 18.

I'm a gemini, moon libra and lion rising.

I don't quite believe in this (and I really don't know what it means) but people seem to, so I'm an ENFP-T.

That's it I think, that's me.

Thank you. 💚

I have been very brave today!

And then I went on a walk and I think I saw the guy that creeped on me at the park a while back and smiled at him before I recognized him as we passed.

But then I saw a bat right after! Which filled me with awe and whimsey and light and reminded me why I continue to try.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol
