Hi, I saw your ideal Elias drawing and wanted to let you know that portraying politically and/or socially power people & people in high positions has roots deep in antisemitism. It's derived from the claim that all or most political figures are actually jewish and that Jews thus 'run the media'.

Some further reading: The Atlantic article on why conspiracy theorists always land on the Jews: https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/10/why-conspiracy-theorists-always-land-on-the-jews/671730/

The Guardian article on QAnon and their roots in antisemitic theories: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/25/qanon-conspiracy-theory-explained-trump-what-is

Wikipedia article on the international Jewish conspiracy, which also has a short 'see also' section linking to two more Wikipedia articles on antisemitic conspiracy theories: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Jewish_conspiracy

I'm sure you didn't purposefully portray Elias as an antisemitic stereotype/conspiracy, antisemitism often hides in plain sight, so I wanted to take initiative.

Have a good [insert relevant temporal word here] :) /gen

anon im going to be so straightforward and real with you

my thoughts on this:

it is a... silly little joke. a pun yknow? EELias? we all have a sensible chuckle

i drew him as an eel because i like eels. i love them so much. i would hug and kiss them.

pr sure the most relevant angle for that antisemitic stereotype is lizard people? and he is not a lizard. he is an eel

my elias isn't jewish? so...?

also elias runs a dumb little institute that relies on donors... he has like 5 dollars... i wouldn't exactly describe him as Politically Powerful

i GUESS you could argue that, well he is literally the guy secretly manipulating all events for his evil plans, but like... that isn't why i drew him, specifically, as an eel? review points 1 and 2

...i think when it comes to why folks might feel the urge to send asks like this... i get it can come from a genuinely well-intentioned place, to an extent. but i've talked before about how asks like these come off and how they make me, personally, feel. it's not your job or obligation to write out an essay explaining to me why [your interpretation of my art] means ive drawn something you feel is bad, and thus need to warn me of

like im sorry but ultimately my feeling is that it's just not that deep and kind of a reach, and this ask is frustrating to me because to me it feels like you're taking the worst-faith reading of something innocuous as an excuse to be pedantic in my direction

'Parturition' is so brave for being the yaoi ship trope episode of Voyager. "Neelix and Tom Paris had a physical.....fight." Also continuing Tom's beautiful habit of loving both infidelity and child abandonment with all his heart. Also, wonderful out of context quote: "I had no right to push that pasta in your lap."

7, 15, 36 !! ALSO HIIII 💞💞💞

Hi Milo!!!!!! 🫶🫶

7: have tattoos? No I have the pain tolerance of a literal infant lmao. There’s one I actually want though but I just know it would be impossible

15: favourite movie? My like comfort movie/all time favourite is the breakfast club but I recently rewatched the nice guys and watched la la land for the first time so I’m back on the Ryan Gosling steam train. He’s so fucking funny

36: where would I like to live? Okay so I’ve never left Perth and I can’t bc I look after my mum so I’m not joking when I say like. Literally anywhere else. But the country that I NEED to see is Egypt. But I should probably live somewhere like Sweden bc I prefer the cold lol

Asks!

so sad watching someone go through each episode of a multi season show and they just get more and more exhausted as the seasons just get worse

[llycaons]

it's also really wild seeing jc written as The Mature One and lwj as being irresponsible when in canon lwj has like half a teaspoon of a sense of humor even when it's not about life-threatening brain injuries

The Beach Boys Love You (1977) is such a questionable album I mean it’s barely even a Beach Boys album based on who contributes what but she’s so silly to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[demadogs]

i dont even understand how brendon uries voice and range tanked so bad like every other artist that started when they were a teenager has improved so much if you compare their first album with their most recent. their voice has always gone deeper and more matured with age and and then you listen to brendon and he somehow completely lost that lower range and not only can he not hit the notes at ALL live, hes not even good in the studio versions anymore where he could have done several takes to get it “perfect”. its fucking wild.

Honestly my p!racy advice is to use the reddit (genuinely the masterpost is useful) and probably stick to direct downloads since they’re wayyy more common nowadays and assuming you get it from the right site, pretty safe
