For the last time, the Diamond Authority in Steven Universe isn't a stand-in for actual fascism, it's a vehicle for the queer power fantasy of getting your transphobic grandma to understand.

Ja es dauert, andere sind schneller, besser, größer, internationaler...doch in diesem Artikel wird die barocke Metropole Dresden im Kontext anderer bezüglich StreeArt erwähnt. Den Link für die Touren wurde nicht vergessen.
Wer sich für diese Kunst im öffentlichen Raum interessiert bzw. neue Motivation einer Städtereise wünscht...lesen, planen, buchen, durchführen

May 2, 2024 - Fifteen police cars were burned down at a police training facility in Portland.
Good job, Democrats! It seems like your love for the genocidal Israeli state and police brutality has brought the Cool Zone™ back, right before an election. Masterfully played. [video]

Coast City Green Doctor Danny
Danny had already spent a few weeks in this new place, and he loved it. All the similarities and differences made him able to use his powers freely without having to hide them!
Who would have thought his powers could heal? But it's easy money.
He became a healer and doctor in Coast City, and with his green light, they thought he was a green lantern, but he used it for healing them and the sick. So no problem with him not fighting, they like him as Doctor more. Group Paid even for him to study in medicine in the future when he is older.
And after 1 year
Hal was pretty confused about how he was just 2nd place in favorite heroes in his own city. Like, isn't he the only hero in Coast City?
That was how he learned about the Green Lantern Healer his city has, which he somehow never met or knew about.

Today’s Exhibit of the Day? The Museum’s giant amethyst geode. Standing 9 ft (2.7 m) tall and weighing around 11,000 lbs (5,000 kg), it’s one of the largest specimens in our halls. How did this dazzling geode come to be? About 135 million years ago, the continental plates carrying South America and Africa began to separate. Magma poured out from fractures in Earth’s crust and large gas bubbles escaped from within the magma—becoming trapped in the rock as it solidified, forming cavities. Groundwater flowing into these spaces brought dissolved silica, which crystallized into quartz. Over millennia, most of these quartz crystals turned into rich purple amethyst. Spot this and other amazing specimens in the Museum’s Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals!

I think Gotham city would be one of the coolest cities in the world for an architect to study. The city has its foundation in a Gothic/Gothic revival-esque style, but the frequent bombings, flooding, fires, explosions of plants, and occasional natural reclamation has led to massive parts of the city being reconstructed, usually retaining the city's classic style, but with more and more experimental and innovative buildings from all the PhDs running around the city, eager to redesign it to be stronger and more cost-effective. Add that to safety codes and zoning being a total mess and Gotham City totally throws up the world's most odd, occasionally aesthetically disastrous (don't worry it gets blown up soon) buildings at record speed. But one way or another, the city always returns to a variant of its original form.

my huge gripe w modern httyd aus is that it’s always set in the suburban midwest in podunk nothing town without taking it to its natural conclusion. As if berk would not be a steel mill town on the rust belt with the gas prices jacked sky high for tourists driving through the middle of nowhere. As if the barbaric archipelago would be the suburbs of a big city rather than rural towns in the Deep South. as if hiccup would not somehow end up hiking in the appalachias or turn up half dead after missing for 6months in the oregon wilderness. Cowards. Fools. if you’re setting it in america then you should take it to its natural conclusion 🗣️🗣️🗣️

My submission for the KOTLC Fanbase art competition: Draw your own KOTLC book cover!
I decided to draw what is arguably one of the most pivotal moments in KOTLC, the scene where Sophie burns down the Neverseen warehouse in Unlocked.
I tried to stay true to the original scene in the book, but, as usual, I took some creative liberties… such as adding the moonlark/black swan symbol in Sophie’s shadow.
This was a really fun piece to draw, but it had its fair share of struggles. I’ve never really drawn fire before (especially not balefire… which is canonically blue), and have always struggled with drawing people. Those on their own would have been hard enough, but adding the fact that it’s a digital drawing (a medium I’m still not comfortable with) to the mix just amplifies the struggle of producing a semi decent artwork. I also have this annoying habit of desaturating my colours when painting them because I’m not a fan of vibrant colours (they scare me).
But I’m still happy with how it turned out in the end :)
Theme: Create your own KOTLC book cover
Scene: Sophie burning down the Neverseen warehouse
Medium: Digital artwork. (Program: Clip Studio Paint Pro. Brush set: Jazza’s Ultimate Digital Brushes)
Time taken: Approximately 18 hours.
