Sometimes you need to read something twice to get it. You might need to watch a movie three times to understand it. You might have to have that album on repeat for a week until the lyrics make any sense. You're allowed to engage with it and can keep engaging with it until it means something to you. People will see a painting at a museum and laugh about not getting what the big deal is but like you can come back, you can see it at another time, and maybe that next time it'll be different for you. I'm of the belief the "media literacy crisis" would solve itself if more people just sat down and did it again. Watched, read, played, listened, etc like I don't think people are getting more ignorant necessarily I just think we're not glorifying personally replaying things nearly as much as we should be.
#Consumer has been the worst word to describe people in years because consumption has a sense of finality#Like I get it its for corporate reasons but self identification as a consumer should only be left for when you report to the BBB#Be a patron or enthusiast or a fan or connesuier or lover or appreciator or customer literally anything#Something to indicate your purpose in the transactional nature of the process goes beyond mindless cattle behavior

Finally now that the comic is fully public on comicfury, I get to share it with all of you here, too <3
If you enjoyed, please consider supporting by buying a PDF of the comic on itch.io: https://tawnysoup.itch.io/home-in-the-woods
#I'd rather not clutter the caption so I'll ramble a little in the tags#HitW is short but special to me as it represents and encapsulates some hard life experiences I was going through at the time of its creatio#Ofc in a more metaphorical manner! but. I have been very much enjoying reading people's comments and speculation as its been posting#the interpretations are so meaningful and varied and i love that and really want to encourage anyone to reflect on what it means to them#for me making this comic was a way to process and move past trauma. i feel like it ends anti-climactically but i wanted to be true to#where i thought things were actually going in my life moreso than to veer towards impact. ultimately im glad i managed to finish it#and for it to finish going public right before the new year? maybe i can see this as shedding that old pain in time to become something new#so thank you for reading for supporting and for still being here. lets wake up to 2025 with wind in our sails#Home in the Woods#my art#my comics#original comic#cw guns#cw blood#cw body horror

#i’ve been thinking abt that cringe post#i think the latent feelings behind ‘cringe’ are shame and sometimes envy/bitterness#same vibes as when six year olds say ‘those toys are for babies’ if they’ve been shamed for their age by older kids#anyway. i think part of the healing process is realizing that shame puts you at war with yourself bc part of yourself is a social being!#and that part of you wants community and acceptance (maybe love). shame is the absence of acceptance#unlearning shame means learning self-love and gaining the confidence to find your people#jerma#cw jerma#(someone asked me to tag lol)

Have been reading Dratchrod fics, got disappointed, drew dratchrod
#Actually have been reading also Swerve/Whirl/Cyclonus/Tailgate or Swerve/Whirl and also got disappointed#only 1 perfect work and 1-2 good ones#somehow I feel like I forgot how to draw and what this process is pfffffht#wanna read something with drift|deadlock/roddy|hot rod maybe it's better over there ahah#dratchrod#cockroachdoodles#transformers#maccadam#drift#rodimus#ratchet#maybe I am too picky but I love when Roddy and Drift are literally such close friends that he goes in dratchet pairing without questioning#and the only one actually questioning it is Roddy because “They are conjunxes!! I am not allowed there!” *gets snatched*#but was coming across Drift almost ripping Roddy's kibbles off out of jealousy?#or Ratchet being like “noOOooooOO” to a threesome. In my head he was such a disaster during uni days that I just... what??#Anyway whoever reads this don't mind me ahsgjsha

Did Pen really choose to write so much about the Bridgertons in Whistledown or did she kind of have to constantly write about them because they’re the messiest bitches in the ton?
#bridgerton#if they were remotely normal about the courting process they probably wouldn’t have hardly been mentioned#penelope featherington#lady whistledown#colin bridgerton#violet bridgerton#anthony bridgerton#kate bridgerton#kate sharma#daphne bridgerton#eloise bridgerton#benedict bridgerton#francesca bridgerton#simon basset

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side
#m/cc#mine#I tried extremely hard to word this nicely because I KNOW people don't mean bad and often even know there are unique challenges#and believe me I know the challenges of invisible disability too!!#I have invisible disabilities!#but as someone who has also been at least visibly 'off' since they were 10 I am SO SICK of invisible disabilities being hailed as like#a unique extra oppression that us lucky visibly disabled people don't have to deal with#there are challenges to invisible disabilities that visibly disabled people DON'T have to deal with!#but you need to understand that *the reverse is also true*#there are MASSIVE benefits to being able to lie about your disability for example#or not dealing with the overt ableism that comes with your disability being obvious to everyone#*I do not have the option to pretend I'm not disabled.* that is never an option I have#I walk weirdly. I use a mobility aid now. my speech and face are 'off.' I lean to one side#for a long time I wore sunglasses 24/7 and often didn't make sense. I sometimes can't speak or won't react to others#for the most part people will always know that at the very least something is wrong with me#and more obviously I have people telling me they'll pray for me; telling me I can't do things I'm already in the process of doing;#wanting to shake my hand to tell me I'm an inspiration for not killing myself; giving me dirty looks for existing in public#and yes. I'm aware that this is very much an in-community issue. I know the average abled person doesn't know invisible disabilities exist#that's why there's so much awareness happening for it#but as a visibly disabled person I get SO TIRED of constantly hearing 'I wish my disability was visible :'('#it's just 'I wish I had your disability!' but from other disabled people

Thematically appropriate comic for Make a Terrible Comic Day!!
I saw the original post this morning and it made me get out of bed to make something, so thank u Pseudonym Jones mission accomplished
#makeaterriblecomicday2024#comic#comics#sketch#does this count as horror like comment subscribe down below#Ever since I stopped being on social media as often/stopped taking it deadly serious I've been able to fall back in love with the process..#...of art which is fantastic!! I do enjoy taking my time with things but it's still very easy to get caught up in making something Perfect#ESPECIALLY WITH COMICS#As a comic maker and comic enjoyer you have to remind yourself people speed through reading them. It's ok to take shortcuts#Every frame does not need to be a painting#Anyways this was a great way to make something after falling into an MMO hole for a few days...#unrelated did u guys know Wizard 101 is still alive with an active player base#Ok hopefully I can get back on track to finishing my next short horror comic in the next month or so wish me luck fellers

Death looms over Vanny's shoulder in FNAF..
#myart#chloesimagination#comic#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#fnaf fanart#fnaf vanessa#fnaf vanny#nightmare marionette#security breach#fnaf help wanted#horror art#nightmarionne#I like the idea nightmarionne is like a symbol of death#seeing their appearances in the games are pretty scattered#and their images shows up around tragedy#they are more of a watcher of it a witness#so I wanted to show this idea off with Vanessa#Vanessa being awoken from her daze#trying to understand what’s going on#only for it to slowly process the damage she has caused#frozen in fear over her own mind#a silent watcher looms over her shoulder#I love drawing Vanessa’s story out#I don’t think there’s been enough are depicting the things she’s probably gone thru

Bingyuan where Luo Bingge, after many fruitless attempts, finally manages to find a world where:
-The Nice Shizun (who he now knows to be Shen Yuan) is there
-Hasn't died from anything yet
-Doesn't already have a Luo Binghe
-Isn't seriously entangled with anyone else either
Enter 52 year old twice divorced silver fox Shen Yuan, who has only just recently come to terms with his homosexuality (after two marriages have imploded over various factors pertaining to it), and is fending off helpful advice from his sweet & encouraging teenage daughter (who is convinced her dad needs someone to look after him before she heads off to college).
#svsss#bingqiu#bingyuan#shen yuan#luo binghe#pidw luo binghe#bingge having a bit of a crisis because he's never been more attracted to anyone before in his life#shen yuan meanwhile still read pidw like thirty years ago#man takes one look at luo binghe and after the two minutes his weird brain needs to process the situation#is just like WAIT I have a TEENAGE DAUGHTER and immediately starts trying to shove him back into the dimensional rift he came from#luo binghe: i have come in search of my true love#shen yuan: no the fuck you have not

dysphoria
#i hope it comes across clearly that his arms are that of his gladiator design#melting away from the body he has...#maccadam#soundwave#tfp#vart#on a personal note: the more my body changes with age the more i realize how much dysphoria i've experienced#and how much happier i'm becoming with it. i hope i get to a point where i feel at home#its been a lot to process

sunday nights are for reflecting on your entire life and the fragile state of your present moment and what the future may look like
#feel like the past few months have been so busy and overwhelming so ive been too busy to fully reflect and process them#and it all just hit me in the space of an hour like relationships and situations and everything#had a little cry but i'm okay i'm hopeful and embracing whatever things will look like#holding onto myself and my passions and my love and my light#diary#tiyas thoughts

Still not over the head of cardiology, who said she wouldn't formally diagnose me with dysautonomia because she didn't want me to think of myself as disabled.
As if good vibes and a can-do attitude can stabalize autonomic dysfunction.
#chronic health tag#ableism in our medical system???#it's more likely than you think#I still remember having to inform the ER doctor that the reason MCAS wasn't in my file#was because the head of allergy for the hospital he worked at#'didn't believe in it'#this was one week into the pandemic#and this man touched his face out of exasperation#and muttered something that might have been 'dense mother fucker' under his breathe#anyway#there should be a screening process for people who want to go into medicine#if you think the only disability is a bad attitude#you should be jettisoned from your course and directly into the sun
