a seldom unrealised joy of fics updating after a long time (by which i mean many months or perhaps even years) is being able to go back and reread the previous chapter or heck, the entire fic again to catch up. it’s almost as good as reading it for the first time🥰

#ofc. if ur like me and ur brain is akin to a colander #then mere weeks also feel like a heckin long time #and this works even better #can u tell i got a fic update today #idk how long it’s been but def long enough that i have to read the previous chapters lol #(i’m also trying to make my own self feel better wrt FOD 💀)#but also #i’m generally an advocate for readings wips #bc theyre amazing #and idc how long it takes for it to be finished #heck i’ve started abandoned works so many times #rly think people r missing out #they’re so focused on the end goal they’re not enjoying the process #<— pls ignore how…corporate? spiritual? idk that sounded #i’m just thinking out loud lol #or. writing out loud?#idk #okie byeee #gonna read my chapter now

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.

#kamala harris #2024 election #leftist hypocrisy #If we want better we have to put in the work over time. There are no instant solutions.#That means digging in our heels to prevent moving farther right.#Yep even if it means voting for a candidate you don't personally like or agree with.#Caring for your community means making strategic decisions to help everyone.#Voting your morals or whatever you call it is functionally useless in the presidential election bc of how our system works.#Save your moral votes for local elections - that's where you get the ball rolling. Put. In. The. Work.

not "i ship these characters" or "i want them to bond platonically" but a secret 3rd thing (I want them to be forced to interact by the Narrative bc they would HATE that)

#who needs romance when i can watch two narrative foils painfully tolerate each other's existence #bonus points if they are forced to Work Together To Solve A Problem #and they end up working surprisingly well together!#they make a surprisingly effective team!#they even confide some backstory with each other & bond a bit & understand each other better #and when it's all over they shake hands & amicably agree that they still cannot fucking stand each other #'this was an interesting sidequest & I'm glad we got to experience it.#but all things considered i genuinely never want to see your face again'#Enemies to Chained-Up-In-An-Abandoned-Bathroom-Together #to Enemies #two stray cats forced to share a cat carrier for a trip to the vet

Michael is very subtle about his daddy issues in FNAF..

#myart #chloesimagination #comic #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #michael afton #henry emily #mike schmidt #fnaf movie #fnaf pizzeria simulator #fnaf fanart #HENRY AND MICHAEL INTERACTION 🔥🔥#I know a couple of folks have been asking for this!#so I’m glad I finally got around to it #Michael introduces Mike to his ‘dad’s friend’#TBH I do like the idea a lot that Michael considers Henry like a father figure #cause I always assumed the Aftons and Emilys were close #so Henry was the Afton’s kids uncle in a sense #and the idea Michael much preferred Henry over his own father just checks out #Henry is a failure of a father and Michael is a failure of a son #so truly they’d match on at least trauma bonding #definitely have to draw some pizza sim content of em working there #Mike can’t even really judge Michael here cause not like his daddy issues is any better

the fact that they made the gameplay mechanics actually lean more on solving puzzles and strategy because her element is wisdom

#I LIKE THAT A LOT ACTUALLY like that makes a lot of sense #thats not saying link doesnt use his head in dungeons but when u play as him it relies a lot on physical ability #even botw and totk with the scaling mountains and stuff feels like smth you can’t exactly do as zelda #or at least it would feel a little out of character??#so this is a really nice change of pace I can’t wait to play it #OH AND THEY KEPT THE BOTW ZORA DESIGNS I think this works way better to tell them apart from river zora #yapping #echoes of wisdom #loz #loz echoes of wisdom #Nintendo direct

Saw a post about working class butches in physical labour jobs and wanted to make my own, so: I love you butches who do childcare or early education. I love you butch nurses. I love you butch house cleaners and janitorial staff. I love you service industry butches. I love you butches who do sex work. I love you working class butches who do “feminine” jobs you are cool as hell

#butch #lgbtqia #lesbian #its me im butches doing stereotypically feminine work #when I was nannying full time I kind of thought of it as I was doing Nanny Gender #like especially bc I wore mostly dresses then for practicality reasons #which gave me The Dysphorias but yeah. my way of navigating that was to get a little fluid with it.#also even tho they don’t get perceived as such: all of these jobs are as physically demanding as many ‘physical’ jobs #like girly at least when I worked in a warehouse/delivery bay I got to sit down #look I could probably think of a better term than ‘physical labour’ but like. you know what I mean.#anyway. sometimes you have those I am uncomfortable when we are not about me moments #and then you remember that you can just go talk about your experience

related to this ex-boyfriend toji post

toji broke up with the reader btw. he saw how all the nights (and days) alone were affecting you, how your smile was slowly but surely dimming down. he wanted to be selfish and hold onto you; you were the closest thing to love he could find after his wife died, and he so desperately wanted to be with you forever.

but he could see that megumi was slowly becoming the only reason why you stayed. you loved them both, of this, he was 100% certain. that's why you tried your hardest and put up with all his shit. but it was breaking you, and that, in turn, broke him.

so he proposed you both broke up and you agreed. exhausted and heartbroken, you stupidly agreed. you didn't want to give up on toji and megumi, you loved them with all your heart. megumi did nothing to you, and you always visited him and spoke to him after the breakup. but you had become a glorified baby sitter with little perks in that relationship. maybe some distance from toji would be healthy.

#hes trying to get better for both you and megumi #hes been working overtime #trying to get a legal and stable job on the side #hes even thinking about maybe going back to uni #but itll take time #and he doesnt want you to suffer through it all #he loves you so much he decides to let you go and work on becoming the man you deserve #🌻. exbf toji #jjk #jujitsu kaisen #toji x reader #toji fushigro x reader #🌻.sunspell

Unsolved Mysteries.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #Spoilers: It was Wei Wuxian the whole time!#Once again this one was on the chopping block but I saved it for just a better comic flow.#Admittedly I do have a critique of the pacing here. Namely that we really should have ended the flashback when WWX fell.#And then gone back to present time for a bit - or even go to a different flashback.#The sense of time passing isn't as strong as it *could* be.#We get *told* three months pass and that they've been looking for WWX. But to the audience it's been...15 min.#Less than seven minutes if you count the flute playing.#This guy when through a whole aesthetic and persona shift in less time than it takes to walk through a corn field.#Guy who listened to less than half an emo album and dyed all his clothes black. And jorted all his jeans.#Timeskips can be sudden and work out just fine! I personally feel like this one would be stronger with better pacing.#Feel free to disagree with me!#In case anyone is wondering why JC and LWJ are still holding hands: 1) Haunted house episode.#2) I needed to practice drawing hand holding at some point. Might as well get the rough and sloppy ones out with these two.

Saw this amazing animation reel by animator Curie Lu and was inspired to do some animation with glowing freckles Danny.

I also made a second version with a special effect on the eyes like in the reference but I'm not sure whether it looks better or worse:

#danny phantom #fan art #fan animation #glowing freckles #danny fenton #2d animation #blender #grease pencil #my animation #my art #I tried to draw everything with Blender's grease pencil #actually not bad for pure 2d animation work #filling tool was a headache to understand in the beginning #but now I think this filling tool is even better than the ones in various 2d painting softwares

Every time I think about the Tree of Feelings I can't help but be a little underwhelmed at how the most popular depictions of it is just. the tree. on a hill. surrounded by miles of nothing but grass and maybe a few houses in the distance.

Yeah, no thanks. I'll just go with my own interpretation on this one

we truly regressed when people started buying into the genderbending is inherently transphobic thing. yeah that twelve year old being inquisitive and having fun on deviantart was your enemy all along.

#how did that even have a leg to stand on. when so many emerging trans folk literally began exploring gender because of it #ill never forget seeing a lone korean comment on fc2 under genderbend art talking about how they visit that picture every day after work #because it makes them feel understood #to even think of being beyond what you were born. in korea. my god i feel it in my spine just how lonely that ought to be #every time i see that rhetoric make rounds im reminded and equal amounts astounded #by how determined people are at making trans folk a monolith #and how there must be a Correct way to explore gender #if the discussion had stuck to the concept’s Capacity to be transphobic and not about inherently being so we’d have been better off.#& at the end of the day art shouldn’t always have to need such a disclaimer on selfhood to be worthy #in the same vein actors should not need to relinquish themselves to the public to act as a gay or trans character #I don’t know !#saw hatsune mikuo art in the year 2024 and the soul near jumped it’s been so long king 🙀#putting this in here because it’s sooort of art related no?#and people know where I stand on this so perhaps if anybody finds it uncomfortable they can gracefully disengage with me
