#ppl label not knowing what to draw as art block i think but this has been my whole life

[skunkes]

drawing from your experiences and writing what you know

What is your Hogwarts house?

so im just going to precede this with saying that a lot of other trans ppl who would get this ask do not have the luxury or willingness to answer something like this in good faith, and i think that that is perfectly their prerogative. im not going to judge other trans ppl, many of which live in the uk and are directly affected by joanne's politics, for being rude or aggressive having been sent a harry potter related ask.

but!! i am answering this under the assumption that you are not aware of joanne's funding of anti-trans organizations, her embracing of the terf label, the very direct impact her actions have on uk laws, and the many, many pieces anti-trans legislation that have been passed in the years (both in the uk and the us) since joanne has leaned further into her terfness. i am also hoping that you asked this not knowing abt her infamous blood libel game released literally this year.

i know very well what it's like to love something with problems, both in the artist and the art. however, there are lines that i draw, particularly on my blog. this is a safe space for trans and/or jewish people, and however symbolic, however performative not supporting joanne is, it is the least i can do to advocate for people directly victimized by her. i encourage you to look through those links, anon! and i hope that you choose to disassociate yourself with joanne and her works. if you stick with her, that's your choice, and i will have to ask you to kindly remove yourself from my blog and inbox, and if you choose to ignore that, i will block you.

i really do hope it wont come to that, and i really hope that you asked this out of ignorance of her actions and not out of any real malice for trans and/or jewish people. and while i am trans, i am not a trans woman, so if the words of people more directly affected by her politics and the policies she supports would give you a better insight into just how devastating her power can be, watch ro ramdin's most recent video or natalie wynn (contrapoints)'s video on joanne. or any of the trans women and/or jewish people that have written or spoken about her.

Kazuichi, Byakuya, Shuichi, Nagito, Hajime, Taka, Sonia & Mondo headcanons with a partner who is the Ultimate Dreamer? As in they have a HUGE imagination and creativity. They always ramble about ideas, are easily distracted/zone out a lot and get very emotional when an idea for a story or art piece doesn't go according to plan? I know that's a lot of people so you don't have to do them all, i'm sorry

ofc!! its not too many ppl at all, dw!!!

Kazuichi Souda

-He’s right on your wavelength!

-He’s got a crazy amount of creativity, too, so he’s right there with you and egging on your ideas!!

-He even adds on to them if you want! He’s got a lot of suggestions for everything

-He also asks for suggestions from you when he’s blocked for ideas on what to build/examine next

-At first he’s kind of offended when you keep getting distracted while he’s talking, but once he realizes it doesn’t mean you’re not interested, he’s cool!

-Has no problem repeating what he said, even if he has to do it twenty times in one conversation

-Kazuichi can completely empathize with getting emotional when something doesn’t turn out right

-He gets the same way when it’s his own creations, so he knows exactly how you feel and how to help

-“Hey, Y/N, don’t worry about it, okay?! We can always try again! Plus, I think this turned out pretty damn cool, anyway...” 

-He’s always encouraging you and complimenting all of your works, even the ones you don’t think are up to par. And he genuinely means everything he says

-You can count on him to always be there to motivate you to try again or move onto the next project

Byakuya Togami

-He’s honestly really impressed with how creative you are

-You’ll probably never know genuinely how much, because the most he’ll say is a “That’s quite an idea, Y/N” 

-He’s going to get frustrated at first if you zone out often, so bear with him as he gets over himself a bit

-Once he does get more used to it, he’ll just sigh and repeat what he said. It isn’t much better than before, but at least he’s not rolling his eyes with a snarky reply anymore

-He kind of... nitpicks your ideas? He doesn’t mean it in a harmful way, he just wants to add on in his own way. He’ll add on his own suggestions for a more practical and successful approach

-He’s actually a pretty good listener, though you’ll mostly get hums and grunts as responses as he doesn’t have much to add onto your thoughts

-If you’re a writer, he’s fully willing to proof read your stuff! He won’t say that, of course, but you can tell by how quickly he gives in when you ask him

-When you get emotional that something didn’t go right, he’ll walk past you and take a look at it himself

-“...This turned out well, Y/N. Our minds expectations are always higher than what we can accomplish; or, you’re your own worst critic, as they say.” 

Shuichi Saihara

-He’s amazed with how many ideas you have?? It seems like you never run out, and he’s so interested in hearing every one

-He doesn’t really have much to add on (and he kinda feels like he’s imposing by suggesting stuff) but if you ask he’s more than happy to give his own thoughts!

-Doesn’t mind you zoning out at all! He actually starts picking up on the signs that you are and either 1. catches your attention again or 2. gives you a minute before going on

-When you start getting emotional over something that didn’t turn out quite right, he’s right there beside you to ride it out with you

-“I-I think it’s amazing, Y/N, really!” and he does! But he knows what it’s like to not meet your own expectations, so he tries his best to be there for you

-And when you eventually pick up the motivation to start a new piece/work on your project again, he’s right there supporting you

Nagito Komaeda

-He’s astounded by how many ideas you have, and he wants to know about every single one

-This man is one of the best listeners you’ll ever meet

-He’s dead silent while you talk unless you want him to add stuff in or ask questions, in which he’s got you, too!

-He loves watching you work, and will gladly sit by you for hours just chilling

-Doesn’t mind at all if you zone out, but he may take it way too personally in a self hatred way, so make sure to reassure him it’s not because of him

-He’s so, so supportive of everything you make!

-He really does not understand how you could think that something didn’t turn out well, because “everything you do is amazing, my love!” 

-He’s got so many compliments for every project you work on. It’s almost too much, but later on in the relationship he knows when to pull back

-If you’re a painter, he’d love to paint with you!! He has no qualms about getting messy, and he loves spending time with you!

Hajime Hinata

-He loves listening to all of your thoughts and ideas!!

-Secretly kinda jealous of how big your imagination is, but he won’t tell you that

-He doesn’t have much to weigh in tbh, he just likes listening, but he’ll give suggestions if you want!

-Tbh he zones out a lot, too, so he totally understands you! He’ll just gently snap your attention back if you ask him to!

-He’s also right by your side when he sees you start to get emotional over a project

-He tries his best to comfort you, mostly by complimenting the piece in question and reassuring you it looks great (and it does!)

-He’ll stick to just comforting you if you don’t want any compliments, tho. He’s a great hugger!

-If you draw, sometimes you’ll catch him sketching in his own little book after watching you draw. He only lets you catch a glimpse of it before he shuts it, but it looked... suspiciously like you? 

Kiyotaka Ishimaru

-This man admires you so, so much. He has so much respect for you

-He’s not really an art person, so if your projects are art based he is so enamored by it! If you’ll let him, he’d love to sit in and watch you while you work! 

-Your creativity is so fascinating to him. He loves hearing all of your ideas, and loves discussing them with you! 

-He’ll try to add in suggestions, but if you want him to just listen he’s fine with that, too

-At first he thinks you’re zoning out because you’re being rude/disrespectful (and he’s a little hurt on the inside at the thought), but once you clarify that that’s not the case at all he’s 100% okay again

-Offers to proof read your stuff if you’re a writer! He may not be that good at creative writing, but he’s damn good at proof reading and editing writings

-He’ll absolutely ask for tips on some of the stuff that he’s interested in if that’s what you also do! (“Y/N, please teach me how to draw the other eye!”)

-He starts picking up on early signs that you’re starting to get emotional over a project, and he’ll rush to your side early to try and help out

-Whether it be by complimenting the piece (which he thinks is just... amazing, really, he doesn’t get how you don’t see that??) or just rubbing your back as you lament over it, he’s right there

Sonia Nevermind

-She’s so excited!!! She loves listening to other people talk about what they’re passionate about!

-She could spend hours just sitting with you and listening to you talk about your new ideas!

-She’ll get so excited if you ask her to weigh in with her opinion, so excited that she may fill up the suggestion with curse words on accident

-She doesn’t mind you zoning out at all! She knows it’s not intentional and she has no problem just catching your attention again and asking where in her sentence you zoned out so she can continue

-Sonia is very observant about the people she cares about, so she can see that you’re starting to get emotional over a piece before you even notice it 

-At an instant she’s bringing you water and snacks, suggesting to take a break with her and relax for a bit

-If that doesn’t work, she’ll wrap you up in her arms to comfort you and remind you that even if this didn’t turn out exactly how you wanted, it still turned out amazing in the end, and that is something to be proud of!

Mondo Oowada

-Damn, he’s impressed. How do you have so many ideas up in your head?? He’s astounded with every one tbh!

-Sometimes he asks you for ideas for what he should build next! (He’ll also let you paint his stuff if you want)

-If you paint or draw, please ask him to join you one day. It will be hilarious and endearing (imagine him drawing a hideous stick figure and labelling it as you)

-He likes sitting you in his lap as you talk about your ideas, and he’ll hum as he listens to you; he’s more of a listener

-Doesn’t mind at all if you zone out! He’ll just hum and repeat himself; no harm done! If you’re apologetic, he’ll scoff and reassure you that he does not “fuckin’ care, babe, it’s not a big deal to say something again”

-He can tell if you’re starting to get frustrated by a piece not going according to plan, and he tries to coax you into taking a break before you get too frustrated

-If you still get emotional over it, he’s beside you rubbing your back soothingly and reassuring you that you can try again another time

-Brings you away from the piece to get your mind off of it, whether that be by motorcycle ride, movie, etc., he’s pulling out all the stops

🏴‍☠️ anon: I mean. the law against csem isn’t one of those laws w a grey area. It’s definitely bad. I only brought it up bc the fact that it’s a law means it is (rightfully) a punishable offense. And you certainly don’t have to use a label. That’s fine, it’s up to you. Just recognize that most ppl using that label (pro-ship) are ppl who subscribe to that ideology. Just, be careful.

(Also, the Maus thing was about them likening the antisemitism of pulling an important book abt Jewish trauma from the shelves to ppl rejecting them for shipping children w adults.)

there's a lot of info on this like obcenity laws and some say drawings are included some say it isn't. it's a lot, and not something I feel comfortable looking into, it's not a comfortable subject. Like when I look it up, it's too overwhelming bc it goes back and forth on what is illegal and what is considered csem and which states and what's federal and what that even means etc

so I'm just going to say I don't feel comfortable with ppl looking at drawings or depictions of children even if its fake even if its not based off real children even if its so anime its basically another species rather than human, it makes me uncomfortable

I am not interested in going over laws and the specific legalities in which state and country and which are obcenity laws and the conversation that surrounds that, whether its a not a grey area or is

this isn't me copping out of the conversation or trying to stay neutral. If anything I'd rather ask an actual lawyer or someone who has a degree in stuff like this, to fully understand the situation and not just go off of stuff I read where there is conflicting info and info I can't understand, and getting comments and asks that are giving me two sides that don't necessarily conflict but also don't align

fiction can have an affect. and depictions whether writing or art, of obvious or said-to-be minors, is uncomfortable for me and I am wary of those who participate in it, bc it makes me uncomfortable.

And bc I can't confirm about Maus (though it does sound like something the internet would do), im just going to say that it's not an equivalent. What's happening with Maus is censorship, but above all else it's foundation is antisemitism.

Their doesn't need to be comparisons in order to understand or feel connected to the fact that it's antisemitism. So if there are people equating it to something like shipping, then I think those are ppl to block.

I have my views on the whole shipping thing, as in who it actually hurts, if it hurts 100% of the time, are participants always pedophiles? etc.

But my views and opinions do nothing. I will block who I block, I will avoid who and what I avoid. And I'm going to feel uncomfortable around stuff like this.

It's just one of those things that unless I'm asking someone who can tell me outright, who knows law, exactly what the situation is, than I'm going to stick with how I feel

which is uncomfortable

and not engage with things that make me feel uncomfortable
