based off my friend's commentary whilst watching the 'Orion Pax' arc of Transformers Prime:
"I'm sorry, but if i woke up from a million year 'coma' and you asked me to call you 'LORD'... you need humbling'
edit: friend is @machinatings <3 they are slowly watching transformers

we need to destroy the idea that girls should wear makeup. normalize bare faces on prom queens and flower girls and cheerleaders. no products at all instead of '7 product simple makeup routine.' no more 10 step skincare and regular facials and dermablading and gua sha just to be comfortable with yr natural face. i want to see eye bags on the funny librarian and acne on the swim coach and wrinkles on all our adult role models. i want to see a 16 year old girl that has never tried putting on eyeshadow. i want to see a 7 year old girl who doesn't have to go out and buy powder for her dance recital. i want to see trans women and girls everywhere to never have to wear makeup, regardless of how well they 'pass.' no more 'contouring to look masc' either. a post-beauty industry world is possible
reblogs are on but if you bring up the stage makeup point that i have addressed three times yr blocked on sight ☹️

yeah unless you're new here you'll know we fucking despise gaiman's disgusting ass around here but this is NOT the time to be 'gleeful' that his 'wholesome' reputation will finally collapse because 1- that's insensitive as fuck to the victims and 2- it is already horrible that his zionism was not 'enough' for people and it needed to 'get worse'. if anything you're about to see an even more insufferable wave of fan apologists and defenders and let's have some tact about who really matters here. the old man will be gone sooner or later but his victims will carry this with them for the rest of their lives.

i think people should talk more about the unique sense of hopelessness which stems from the realization that “help” in the form myth promised you does not exist; there is no help coming and you must create from scratch the tools that will dismantle (or at least diminish) your own suffering, and do this not once but every day for the rest of your life

I really like the implication that Grim also stands as a proxy for the prefect therefore he's legally obligated to stand beside Malleus at all times in merch.
I mean he wasn't even included in the Playful Land wall scroll because Malleus isn't there hfjskskw
Like he's really serious in adopting this fat gray cat.
MalleYuu + their baby Grim:

My brainrot today is thinking about just how incredible for a character Eowyn is.
Genuinely. The series might not have many female characters but the ones we do get go so fucking hard.
To me, Eowyn is literally the definition of defining being a woman for oneself. She rejects the roles she is given despite acknlowdging the importance and its mostly because she knows part of the reason is that she is a woman.
The reason why she is obsessed with Aragorn isn't because she loves him but because she wants what he has. She wants the freedom and courage and bravery that Aragorn has at every turn. She literally has multiple conversations during the Two Towers about how what she fears most is a cage. All this girl wants is the freedom to be and not be forced into a role. The best thing is that she literally gets that.
The segment of Return of the King about Eowyn and Faramir is literally about her piecing together what she truly wants. She doesn't want Aragorn. She wants freedom and the ability to choose. Faramir does nothing but encourage that in her. Their love story is literally one of the healthiest love stories I've seen in a long time because at the heart of it, their love is a place to return home to for both parties. Both go off to lead and help their people for a considerable amount of time before returning to each other but that does not diminish their bond. Even Faramir, I believe, falls in love with her bravery and dedication to her loved ones. The reason she went to Pelenor Fields and Gondor with the troops of Rohan was because she had things she wanted to fight for. She wanted to fight for herself, her people, and her loved ones. She is the one who protects Theoden after he is killed so that his body gets the treatment it deserves. She encourages Merry and helps him go to the battle because she sees her struggle in Merry. They feel helpless standing around when there are things to be doing.
Let's also not forget the fact that she was around Grima Wormtounge just as much as the King was. She was exposed to the same poison and awful words that eroded the king. It's even implied that her care for him is part of the reason why Theoden was savable when Gandalf showed up. She had the same power and bravery as everyone else even if she didn't see it in herself.
Then at the end of the day, SHE decides where she wants to go and what path she wants to walk. She walked the path of a warrior. The path of a princess/ruler. The path of a caretaker. But in the end she decides which elements truly mean something to her outside of gender definitions. That is what makes her character so incredible to me. In this she literally kills one of the biggest enemies in that battle with such a badass line.

As someone who quite likes the dinosaurs, I'd rather have a happier person behind the screen and no dinos for a while than an unhappier person behind the screen (and maybe no dinos for a while anyway, if you burn out on the project enough down the line). Which is to say, take a break if you need one.
ehh, it's alright. I haven't been drawing that many lately anyways, maybe once or twice a week at most.
I can't stop completely drawing them because I have a patreon where I post 4 dinos a month, and that makes up about 30% of my income, so I could not pay my bills without it. And it would feel unfair to only post them on patreon and none publicly.
In terms of time spent & money earned it's certainly a much better job than the barely above minimum wage alterations job I also have. The difficult thing is that I have to make myself do the drawings at home on a somewhat regular schedule, which I am bad at.
I may grumble about it occasionally, and I would love to just stop completely, but realistically I'm very lucky that I have the dinosaurs to help make it so that I can get by with the part time schedule of the alterations job, and can spend more time and effort on the sewing videos which currently do not make much money at all.
(I also post monthly behind the scenes updates about the sewing videos on patreon, which are my favourite kind of posts to do there! Tomorrow I shall post about two or three videos that I'm working on.)
