it's been pointed out on here before that a lot of terf arguments are actually rooted in sexist idealology that feminists fought and died to unnormalise decades ago and that's its own kettle of fish but one thing i also find very frustrating about this so called 'radical' feminism is that it's so... defeatist? like the moment you categorically label an entire section of society as Bad and Inherently Evil then there's also the implication that nothing can be done about it, and it completely takes all accountability away. saying all men are evil is just another way of saying boys will be boys. he raped her because he's a man. he hit her because he's a man. he didn't listen because he's a man - it's almost offensively oversimplified. there's no point trying to fix this issue in society because men are just Like That, okay! so now what? it's not like they're going anywhere, so you just accept that 50% of the population are evil and will forever treat you terribly and there's nothing to be done about it bc they're biologically predisposed to it? like is that fr the argument here? you're soooo radical for that

Yeah I'm sharing them now because if I decide to wait to pass them digitally I will ✨never do it✨

Spiderverse x One Piece AU!

A little something that started as an exercise in character design and then I got a little bit into it lmao

I did design the rest of the East Blue Crew but uh... they were kinda ugly/boring, I put more effort into these two because they're the 💕favs💕

Info, kinda. Honestly I don't have a lot thought out its mostly random ideas that mushed together sort of resemble a well put together au, just like everything I do <3

Nami:

- Spider-Woman of her universe, while her design isn't exactly original I really liked using her orange and blue colors. She has the spider logo on her back because she hates spiders and hates looking at them lmao

- In her universe, her best friend Usopp died when she failed to save him (kinda her "Gwen Stacy" but he was just a friend)

- Has electricity powers, her spidey senses are also really in tune with the climate for some reason

- She has a staff (not pictured) she fights with, and also uses the environment to her favor, not the biggest fan of fighting hand to hand because (compared to other Spider-people) shes not as physically strong

- Has a few enemies and nemesis that she fights, Arlong being the most important/strong one

- She's actually quite happy to know other Spider-people, tho she was kinda shocked when she saw Usopp... It was awkard for both of them...

Usopp:

- The first Spider-man in his world, there are some things of his design I would change (mainly the sweatband, I would change the colors), but I'm actually quite happy with his design. Where does his nose go with the mask on? The same place Hobbie's hair goes, idk..

- In his universe, his best friend Nami died, Usopp failing to protect her

- Uncanny precision with his webfluids, also figths using the environment

- Unfortunately isn't a well received Spider-man 😔, gets complaints about destruction of property or how he's "pretty coward for a superhero"

- Really would rather focus on saving civilians from natural disasters, as he's also not as physically strong (compared to other Spider-people), but it seems every weirdo on the block decided they really need to beat this teenager up, so he also has some enemies...

- Super excited about meeting other Spider-people and finally being able to share life experiences with them, and then met Nami, or Spider-Woman Nami and it was awkard and uncomfortable (but they became besties, bittersweet moment)

Extra stuff from the rest of the East Blue Crew:

- Luffy's spiderman name is Spider-King and the rest of the Spidermans where like "I can't decide if that's the best or the worst name I've ever heard...". Well Usopp thinks it's kinda cool, and wishes he had chosen a cooler name for himself, might be too late for a new signature 🤔, Nami and Sanji think it's stupid, Zoro is undecided

- Sanji does not have a spider logo, even tho his name is Spider-man because he hates spiders

- Zoro is the second Spider-man from his universe, the first one being Kuina, she died and he took her place

- Sanji has fire inmunity

- Zoro carries like 5 extra pockets of web fluids cause he takes "longer routes" (he gets lost a lot)

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

[c0rpseductor]

kind of sappy but i love having friends. i love having people i can watch movies with and talk to about anything and be on the phone with and play video games with and that come over to visit me and send me things in the mail. even (especially) just cards. i just like. it's really hitting me tonight.

like, ive spent a lot of time in my life struggling with relationships and relating to others and hanging around people that treated me badly, sometimes without even understanding they were treating me badly. and now i have friends who rule and who i love and who love me and who i can trust to respect me and i'm better at communicating and just like, riding things out in general.

like idk. im glad things are so much better than they used to be. ive been looking back recently and realizing how much better everything has gotten, and how it kind of snuck up on me. and it just KEEPS getting better the harder i work. im not being very articulate about it it's just like crazy to me. i still have my issues and complexes and shit but it really feels like in the past few years i finally uncovered some big huge infected wound and started pouring iodine on it and it fizzed up and hurt really bad but now it's cleaner. bad metaphor i dont know how iodine works

[fiomeras]

People joke that the artists leaving twitter are gonna move on to doing show and tells at the local library instead , but i actually think that sounds really nice, id love to do that

The point of A Christmas Carol was not to teach morals by example; it was to teach morals directly. Ebenezer Scrooge was specifically made to be a reader insert. The lessons of A Xmas Carol can mostly be divided into 'you don't want to be this guy (he's suffering)' and 'you don't want to be this guy (he's evil, like ultimately, Biblically, very un-Xtian)', afforded by the third category of Basically Everything In The Book 'you don't want to be this guy anymore (he's deeply relatable to the upper-class Victorians the book is targeted at)'. The fact that he doesn't spend money on himself is not a sign that he needs to care for himself more; it's to show that he's so greedy to the point that it is useless, to show that valuing money this much is bad and senseless. The fact that he were to die if he didn't change for the better is an example of Cosmic punishment. Maybe the story does have a hint of teaching Scrooge to take care of himself, but that's only for the same reason that Scrooge is given a 'workaholic billionaire' backstory. The rich like(d) to see themselves as hard-working, and were the target audience, and Dickens didn't want to insult his target audience while trying to teach them basic human decency. So he also took the opportunity to slot that into the 'you don't want to be this guy (he's suffering)' method of teaching.

Hello! I have to ask... where did you get your figures????

Hello! I don't gatekeep so I did explain on this post that you can buy a majority of these OP figures on Amazon.

I do like to stress the "cheaper" ones that you see that are most likely done by Banpresto or Bandai Spirits (both are the same technically as Banpresto is a subsidiary of Bandai Namco now but that's for another time) and those are non-scale/prize figures. That means they have no exact scale (so, varying height) and less detail.

Majority of the OP non-scale figures typically are part of the "The Grandline Men/Lady" or "Glitter and Glamours" (for the female characters, often with different versions).

If you're looking for actual scales, I believe the few licensed to do are Figuarts Zero and Megahouse with their Portrait.Of.Pirates. line (I believe POP is 1/8 scale).

There's plenty of options to look for buying beyond Amazon- you have your Ebay, Mercari, blah blah, Tokyo Otaku Mode (I don't particularly recommend this one though but they can be useful if they're your only option), and AmiAmi (love this one, they also have a 'used' section with figures usually at a discount so if that's not an issue I say go for it!). Just do be mindful, especially for scale figures or in places like AmiAmi that shipping can be a lot, as a warning.

PS. If anyone has any extra questions I’ll do my best to answer! I’m not a complete expert but I think I could give a bit of advice.

everytime im posting in the group chat i wonder if im annoying and everybody is just too polite to tell me to shut up

and yea ofc i know im annoying, everybody can be annoying, and i def realize when i have been particularly annoying, and i try very hard to not be too annoying, but im always afraid that i didnt notice it and that i did actually took it too far and i know its not realistic but i wish there was a socially acceptable way of telling smbdy they are a tad annoying and also that humans would be able to accept hearing that gracefully too.

its like.... its like, im not completely sure if my sound quality is fine with my headset when im on a voice call. nobody has ever said anything, but i have been on voice calls with people when the quality was horrible, or the connection was bad, but i def havent ever said anything. has anybody else? do they know? i wish people would tell me, but i dont tell anybody. argh.
