i don't think people really understand what's happening in gaza. with each passing day that sees more and more palestinians dead, it's becoming easier and easier for those in the west to perceive them as nothing more than a statistic. they might engage w the occasional palestine post, sure, but it's just as easy to scroll right past that moments later w no real outrage for the genocide retained.
it's vital to stay reminded that palestinians who are with us today won't be with us tomorrow. it's happening every second of every minute of every hour, and it's relentless. somewhere in gaza a little girl is losing her mother, a little boy is watching his siblings bleed to death, elderly people are infirm with starvation and illness, palestinian women and girls are being sexually assaulted and kept in cages, fathers are leaving tents to find food for their families and not coming back. this is all happening right now, and it's a direct result of the west's complacency. it's a direct result of their not seeing arabs as people worth saving.
it might be hard to compute as a westerner, but this is real. don't let your privilege blind you to your humanity.
#palestine#gaza#israel#it really dawned on me that westerners do struggle w the basic feeling of caring. and this is coming from an arab girl who's also american#i see it firsthand all the time. and i'm like how. how could you. but they could

i love that none of the leverage team have misplaced confidence like they all really are THAT good. hardison hacked into the bank of iceland as a teenager. parker can crack almost any type of safe in seconds. sophie is a famous art thief and has played such long cons that she became a duchess. eliot is an internationally renowned hitman and retrieval specialist FOR A REASON. nate literally gave a guy a nosebleed with the power of his mind. no wonder the five of them are the only people who could possibly figure out how to beat a steranko twice
#leverage#alec hardison#parker leverage#sophie devereaux#eliot spencer#nate ford#and it makes it so you can clearly see when they're out of their element!#s1 parker STRUGGLED at grifting. eliot can barely work a computer half the time. hardison needs to be taught about wine multiple times#sophie and nate have been at it the longest so you don't see them struggle as much but. i'm certain they do

Learning to celebrate the little wins!
#fersona#While I don't have the capacity to do Hourly Comics Day#I did journal my day hour-by-hour and the sheer difference in my self-care and routines is *staggering*.#Honestly both Feb 1 2024 and 2025 were rough days...but this year I had a far better outlook on it all.#The funny part is that when I drew this a few days ago I actually *was* celebrating not crying.#Might have still cried on Feb 1st. A meagre 4 times. But I also had lot of good moments!#January is a very hard month for me and frankly I've been in a fugue state for most of it.#Drawing helped me pull through these last 2 years but this year I've been finding myself so upset at how I can't seem to focus anymore.#So updates and posts have been slow. I'm just slow. I'm tired and burnt out from work and grieving.#But you know what? The days I do manage to post; I'm never shamed for how long it took. You're all just as excited and kind.#I'm coming home and eating better and sleeping more and spending time with loved ones.#This is all to say; you can be a lot happier when you realize that life can be taken a little slower.#I'm more grateful that words can possibly convey.#If you related to the mindset of constantly feeling like you've 'failed' the day; please know you have done more than you realize.#I'm struggling with it everyday! I'm in the trenches with you!#Life is too short and painful to not celebrate what you *do* accomplish! It's hard work but it is worth it!#Bit by bit...we will learn to live. *Really* live. And enjoy it!

5 PhDs + 1
@lalalaurieart happy birthday! I offer you one of my silly headcanons
None of Robotnik's degrees are in medicine. Why should he care about that? His interest in the human body ends with his own. That is, until one time when Stone got really hurt, and the Doctor could do nothing. He coped by... teaching himself everything there is to know about medicine! He's very normal like that. Never bothered getting a degree for that one though.
#lalastobotnik#stobotnik#doctor ivo robotnik#agent stone#sonic movie universe#robotnik really pushed himself here. he didn't sleep for days#he's currently in worse shape than stone who got shot in the chest#this comic was a bit of a struggle for me. i kept wondering if the jokes ruined it?#like should i be serious for once?#but joking is my thing. i love joking#so i went well then i can avoid the serious part#but that didn't feel right either#i tried to find a balance. i don't know if i managed#cw blood#also sleeveless turtleneck because... because.#stone would never give the doctor his recipe unless he genuinely thought he was dying#because those lattes are one of the only things he feels he can do for the doctor#you know. something that makes him irreplaceable#robotnik kinda understands it but he doesn't think about it too much#yeah i'm a bit nervous about this one can you guys tell?#let me know what you think maybe

behold, my character design process.
#personal#delete later#struggling a bit on this one so i'm turning to crowd suggestion#first thought was to make male lois a person of color to mirror lois's struggle in her workplace. maybe hispanic? (luiz)#people suggested he should be a twink or gnc so i'm leaning towards that without making him fem (i like the 60s aesthetic for superman most#picturing “youngest of 4 brothers” vibes#“compensates for being a smaller guy by being kinda grouchy”#need to not make him look so young either. late 20s at least#hard to do combed neat hair without making him look like a preppy jerk too#hmm hmm much to think about. this is fun to do as a break from mlp

A bunch of body swap AU sketches! Nothing in particular going on lol







Different styles and brushes because I very slowly worked on these in different days xD
Figured out how I wanted the lens of truth to react to them! I don't love how I represented it tho but oh well
#I struggled so much with the haircut one and I think you can tell#I'm gonna say it. drawing Hyrule's hair is the part I hate the most every time. maybe he should do it 😭#But fr Legend don't be a hypocrite... You have almost the same haircut#linked universe#linked universe fanart#lu fanart#body swap au#lu legend#lu hyrule#I'm not even tagging Wars LMAO#omg alt outfits episode??#I did think about having them switch to these tunics as to avoid more confusion but there really isn't a reason for them not to just#switch back to their original clothes bc no way they wouldn't fit#but I don't want to do that lol#my logic is Hyrule keeps the red tunic bc cool defensive properties so yeah#he would appreciate some pants tho#cringing so hard at myself rn btw#Wars has only six ribs that's why his waist is so snatched#offmozzart

Scenes/Things in Supernatural that genuinely don't make sense to me if Dean was straight:
The confession booth scene.
Sam just rolling with the fact that Dean's siren is a guy while still thinking sirens infect people through sex.
Dean being flustered by several men: Gunner Lawless, Aaron, Doctor Sexy, etc.
All the parallels between Destiel and other couples. (A big one being "last night on Earth" bc how do you do that accidentally.)
Having all the gay jokes be on Dean instead of Sam.
Paralleling Sam meeting his childhood celebrity crush with Dean meeting Gunner Lawless.
The boner Dean got when Cas cleaned up.
Dean gulping after Cas does an impression from a Western movie.
Charlie, a lesbian, calling Castiel "dreamy."
The way Mary looks at Dean and Cas when they hug.
Dean wondering why everyone assumes he's gay, while Sam not caring.
The logic that Charlie can't flirt with guys because she's only attracted to women, but then having Dean flirt with the guy for her.
Dean seeming disappointed when learning that Aaron's flirting was fake.
The amount of time Dean and Cas spend staring at each other.
Dean canonically having an orgy with Crowley.
A woman saying that she knows when someone's pining for someone else to Dean, just for us to learn that Dean was never in love with Amara.
The set design and script choices that lead to a cross in the background while Dean said "I do." to Cas after he came back to life.
That time when Dean wanted to say something and Cas was like, "It's okay, I heard your prayer." But Dean still looked like he wanted to say something important.
Amara: [about Dean] "I can see inside your heart. Feel the love you feel. Except, it’s cloaked in shame.”
If you want to have a more expansive list, @destiel-is-real-idgaf added to this one quite nicely.
#i'm not even trying to prove a point#I'm just genuinely confused as to what the heck these scenes were supposed to be if dean is not bi#the fact that dean was the best written bi character who struggles with internalized homophobia I have ever seen and it was an accident#insane#dean and cas had the best relationship development I have ever seen#destiel#deancas#dean winchester#dean is bi#bi dean#bi dean winchester#they did my son so dirty#he grew so much over the seasons#without his dad around to force toxic masculinity#they let him be dorky#goofy#geeky#good at cooking#but didn't let him be bi#i will be adding more to the list#the title is a bit of a hyperbole#some of these do make sense with Dean being straight#but they're honestly pushing it

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟
#pan draws#pan designs#zine#risograph#i'm not gonna lie i don't love how this one turned out OTL and i think the wording is not done but well... a deadline is a deadline#i'll probably touch it up and rewrite it in the future but who's to say.. i need to stew on how to articulate my feelings coherently#anyway my transness is so closely tied to my experience as a person of color. the current political climate is so fucking ass to exist in#but more than anything i am pissed off at white punks & leftists & trans people that refuse to have meaningful solidarity with us.#so yeah anyway. i was stuck on this one forever and only really got anywhere with it after attending 2 punk noise shows in a row where they#actually used their fucking platform to do like. anything. our struggles are connected you need to careeeee YOU HAVE TO CARE........ ok bye#tdov#trans day of visibility#<- i was sitting on uploading this for a while so the stars kind of aligned for it to be today huh.... happy tdov i love you#xines

#dwedit#dwgif#doctor who#tvedit#timelordgifs#twelfth doctor#peter capaldi#s9#the witch's familiar#mine#my gifs#😭💗#''the doctor'' not being a name or a title but a promise. that comes with beliefs and standarts and willingness to do good.#it being the constant struggle within oneself. choosing to be the doctor and following through with that promise#''on a good day i'm the doctor'' vs ''the doctor isn't here anymore you're stuck with me''#...yeah#also this was hard to colour for no reason#these damn tunnels ain't got any light in them maybe the daleks dgaf but I DO#and i had to make this post extra long to put that chuckle in because jeeeesus christ

Alpha-17 catching a break. He deserves an even bigger mug for the sweet caffeine he no doubt needs on a daily basis
Commission for the eternally kind @kyda-atshushi <3
#alpha 17#the clone wars#clone wars#clones#alpha-17#tcw#my art#digital art#commissioned art#clone troopers#I'm real proud of the mess of colours i managed to paint on the white of his armor#but at the same time god was it a struggle#i don't do well with the diffuse white light they have on Kamino#also I didn't remember that Obiwan ends up on Kamino at the half point of the movie ngl#I will have to watch it one of these days#it's been way too long since I watched the prequels
