If you're wondering why I'm especially not posting recently it's bc I'm doing my final uni year and major project. Check my designs for it so far, a trans doll club kid, a disabled groaning creature and a queen/king butch.

I will admit I hate the trend towards measuring how Healthy fictional relationships are. they're not breakfast cereals! we don't need to measure the amount of fiber! even if it did matter how much fiber a fictional relationship has "healthy" is also a very general, vibes-based word for concepts that I think we probably should get more specific about

Just bought new clothes for my trip, tried them on, and damn. Those body rolls. The cellulite. The chonky butt. I've really earned my winter coat this year.

Now where's the bread and butter? I want a crisp butty, stat.

Watching people who complain about “fakers” who “steal resources from the actual disabled people” try to explain why that is supposedly a real problem is completely ridiculous. Because their arguments boil down to “there’s limited resources for this disabled group” pretty much every single time. And yes, sure, sometimes there genuinely are limited resources, and it’s a very big problem! But do you know whose fault that is? Because it’s not actually the fault of the alleged “fake disabled people”- it’s the group or organisation that creates and controls the distribution of said resources. It’s not the fault of individuals, “fakers” or otherwise. It’s the systemic fault (and failure!) of the governing bodies that create resources for the disabled people. Which, to be honest, shouldn’t be a hard concept to grasp if you’re already active in disabled activism spaces… As these people who “call out fakers” claim to be….? Okayyyy 😐. (/sarcastic.)

So like, watching some folks try and blame “the fakers” for the systemic ableism we all deal with is actually comical- and we mean that in the worst way possible. And, for the record, the hordes of “fakers” likely do not even exist. They’re probably just disabled people that you don’t like the look of, so you’re using them as scapegoats to avoid the very blatant failures of an ableist society. You’re not only failing to support disabled people through your disbelief of people’s lived experiences- you’re also failing us all by refusing to acknowledge the actual fucking problem. If you go around telling people they’re faking being disabled, first of all what an absolute L, second of all try shutting up if you can’t say anything constructive- and third of all, maybe do something useful instead.?? Why waste your time trying to bully random disabled people for the crime of existing, when you could redirect some of that energy into bullying large corporations/companies/governmental branches into being less shit.???

Like if you need to bully something, can you at least target the governing groups that profit off of systemic ableism.?? Instead of bullying some random newly-diagnosed teenager or whatever the fuck, go and bully some huge American company that charges $$$ for one bottle of insulin or something. Get a grip and get creative, for fuck’s sake.

TLDR: ableism = massive L, but bullying ableist mega-corporations = massive W! (/not even joking.)

Listen I'm a bit of a hater and I do have some reservations with the concept surrounding conformation and animal fancy as an institution but horses are one of the LAST animals you can really criticize for their conformation standards and just calling it eugenics. Unlike most dog breed standards, horse conformation is more predicated on their ability to function and perform work, or to carry a wholeass person on their backs so it's really important they got good structure!!! Sure there's halter horses bred purely for show and that's where you start getting the wonky dish faced Arabians and BBL quarter horses but unlike pugs the vast majority of horse breed standards do in fact keep the horse's best interests in mind.

I have spent so much time, thoughts, work and tears trying desperately to be someone special/popular/known that there was no room left for the thought of how much more beautiful it would be, instead of becoming someone else, to work on learning to love and accept myself exactly the way I am right now. While this isn’t easy either, it’s still so much easier than becoming someone I’m not.

I want to stop romanticizing that life can only be beautiful if you’re popular and known by many people. But I want to start romanticizing how nice it would be to love yourself. How nice it would be to look at myself and to think "You’re worth it, you’re worth working on accepting and loving yourself."

hi 2 things 1: bone eater looks really really cool holy shit pls keep us posted and 2: is there like a story behind him or anything? i dont think ive actually seen him on your blog before

1. THANK YOU I'm so nervous. This is the second time I've built him and I haven't done much sculpture in a REALLY long time, certainly nothing this large in clay that wasn't a vessel. I've had to fix his left knee about three times even with a ridiculous amount of slip/score action, so hopefully I finally got him together (he's also got some support under his hips and wrists). He is. Very heavy lol. I think I may need to pick a connection point along his middle to cut him into two pieces, if only for drying and transportation purposes...

2. And kinda! He's actually been on my blog but in drawn form a couple times in my explorer supergirl/supercorp drawtober series from 2018 and then just this past year 2023! I totally understand how you missed him though because I'm just on here barfing memes 22 hours a day. To save you time trawling back through my blog (but if you're bored I won't stop you, just follow the "arting" tag") you can see those on my artstation:

Inktober 2018: Build a World in 31 Days "TERRAH"

Drawtober 2023: Return To TERRAH

I have a very loose idea, really more of a vibe, that Bone Eater is that culture and planetary system's deity of decay in a system of three, because everybody loves systems of threes and odd numbers! With him are the Spore Mother (birth, beginning), and World Ender (death, ending) (both names still not quite confirmed but I like them). He is the connection point between life and death, consuming so that more may become. Boom, crash, ominous sounds, goofy three-eyed grins and big chompers.

Here are my most recent super rough planning sketches of this current sculpture and hopeful next sculptures from a drawpile I noodled around in with @sango-blep (who is amazing and very supportive of my shenanigans while I gently coax my brain back to drawing after my health punched me in the face this past year):

He's maybe not quite as padded as I made him originally but I'll just have to keep practicing, maybe see if I need to look into actual armature or something if I want to keep doing this in the future? If I can get him back in mostly one piece I'd really like to make the other two as well in the same scale (this is a reminder to myself to take some wet measurements today) but I'd have to adjust the pose of World Ender for him to fit in our studio kilns. Ours are 24" deep and Bone Eater is clocking in at about 20" (oops), so I'd need to lower his head. I think I picked some compact enough poses, but we'll see. I may be the one loading him into the kiln lol.

BUT YEAH that's Bone Eater and what little I have on him right now LOL.

This bit from my Calanmai analysis feels very relevant.

thinking (and rewatching..) inside job again and i dont think rand is that bad of a father? i mean, he made a lot of mistakes and he doesn’t even feel bad ab it, even tho he traumatized reagan and a lot, but he was never absent. he acts like he cared ab reagan’s career just bc it could help his career, but that’s not true. he pushes her to be the best all the time and it’s bad, but he genuinely cares ab her so much. and the whole ‘creating crises to force her to hang out w him’ thing is fucked up, but it’s cute that he just wants to hang out w her that bad. most fathers literally don’t care enough ab their kids to do any of that. most fathers don’t even know their kids as much as he knows her. maybe my standards are just insanely low, probably, but he’s a better parent than 90% of the parents i know
