An archangel is actually a type of babygirl,

We've all seen The gabe dress but I had a divine vision of him in a kroj (Czech folk costume) and y'know what? I was right. He slays. What's the point of art if not to take some fictional guy, say "that's my wife" and put clothes on him like a paper doll

Anyway I think everyone should draw him in their culture's folk costume now. I wanna start a trend

((bonus sketch idk if I'll finish,,))

I've been thinking about the templars lately. they were promised honor, virtue, told that they would be charged with protection of the innocent... And then those same people are systemically exploited and abused, abuse others because they're taught to regard everyone else as either sheep who need to be lead or potential threats. Never equals, except in their brothers/sisters-in-arms. They act as the guard-dogs and military arm of an entirely different organization that they're only a functionary member of but have no governing say in. Even the chantry aren't their equals- they function as the templar order's supervisors! And all this isolation and closing of ranks ends in disability, addiction, death, and abandonment by the system they spent their bodies in service of.

To top that off, retaliations against them just confirm the paranoia they were taught to embrace. It's probably a long hard road to get out of that hole.

Like, listen. the dichotomy of mage vs templars is a satisfying and easy one, but the system is tearing them apart too. have you ever heard of a retired templar?

at the end of it, mages and templars need to unite against the real threat. the chantry.

okay i’ve got to vent about the nicki minaj situation bc yeah. i used to be a hardcore barb for almost 10 years (2010-2019). and when i say a HARDCORE stan i truly mean it, i had a twitter account dedicated to nicki, she was even following me and often interacted with my tweets when she was online. i was absolutely in love with her and her work. i met my best friend, who’s like family to me, because of her. the pinkprint helped me survive middle school bullying. i followed her through europe when she went on tours. i supported every project, stayed chronically online for her and engaged in petty arguments with people on stan twitter to defend her. i fell out around late 2019 because i felt like most of her lyrics had sounded the same for a while but mostly because she started seeing her current husband, a confirmed rapist. seeing nicki pick up a beef after beef with every young female rapper gives me a huge ick and internalized misogyny vibes. but the beef with megan? it’s been years since i last followed news on nicki, but now i find myself losing my mind every time i see something on here or tiktok. not to mention her twitter omg. it truly feels like i’m witnessing her downfall caused by no one but nicki herself. she’s literally destroying her legacy, a legacy tied to so many memories i made during those 10 years while being her fan, and it just sucksssss. it feels like she no longer has a pr team capable of damage control or persuading her to take a break from social media. she seems to be spiraling with everything she posts. not to mention that ben shapiro tweet, congratulating a white, homophobic supremacist. and the barbz who let her remain in her perfect little bubble, shielding her from any criticism, constructive or otherwise (perhaps out of intimidation – i know, i've been there) and doxing people in the name of what? a millionaire to whom you’re a literal stranger?

Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)

I genuinely don't mean to be That Person and I do think everyone is definitely entitled to their own opinion and nothing should be exempt from criticism but I think everyone criticizing hazbin hotel over the designs is honestly a little mean? Yes, all the characters are stick thin, that's bad and there should be more variety. Yes, the designs are cluttered, not good for an animated show by regular animation standards.

But criticizing the style as something to grow out of in your teenage years? Saying how ridiculous the facial expressions are, or the palette?? Who cares about the general style tbh??

You probably have friends or peers who have similar styles and similar design preferences who are going to see you say all of that and think less of what they do because of it. Vivzie isnt going to see your mean post calling it an edgy art style but your peers are. And honestly ESPECIALLY any younger artists and teenagers that draw like that are going to take the hit.

I'm not eloquent enough to make a better more nuanced post I do think there's a point to be made about how people on this site defend all art styles and want to be supportive of artists and "cringe culture is dead" but the second something is unpopular enough they start riffing vitriolically on how it looks instead of the things actually worth criticizing (of which there are many).

"MY life has gotten marginally better or been unaffected under the current administration, so give the Democrats YOUR vote"

that's what y'all sound like. fuckin entitled. or do none of y'all actually believe in one person, one vote lol

just say that other people's problems, well-being, stability, and dignity is secondary to your fucking comfort under the status quo.

if things are "better under Biden" for you to such an extent that you feel entitled to other people's fucking votes, I got news for ya — you were probably fine under Trump too 🙃

“Claude in Hopes is exactly the same way he is in Houses! He’s always been like that and has the same feelings/morals!”

Claude in GW/Hopes:

Claude, literally, in Houses:

Let that speak for the fact that Claude was written with a 180 characterization in Hopes.

Claude wants peace and to bring everyone together; not to tear them further apart. That is his character.

I'm writing a fanfic rewriting Legend of Korra to make Korra an anti-hero who eventually allies with Kuvira and betrays her friends. It's called "The Tragedy of Korra". Have you ever thought that Korra would have been more interesting if Korra herself was more morally grey? I feel like it would have tied together a bunch of elements that didn't work too well in canon Korra.

i mean korra already is morally grey (liberal). but i do think a narrative wherein korra attempts to undo the (supposed) work of aang & zuko to establish a neocolonial state on earth kingdom land (republic city) by allying with kuvira could be interesting in terms of what would need to change in the plot for her to reach that conclusion. lok pretty uniformly portrays republic city as a good thing that only fascist monsters would attempt to condemn, but kuvira is also just categorically right that republic city is essentially a fire nation colony in a coat of fresh globalist paint, she's just wrong in her conclusion that returning that land to the earth kingdom means returning that land to her specifically. but korra grappling with the ramifications of the darker aspects of her predecessor's legacy is a very "avatar" story (aang w/ roku, kyoshi w/ kuruk, kuruk w/ yangchen, even korra w/ wan in book 2 i guess), and was only really elided by the narrative because we're supposed to agree with the construction of republic city in the first place (ymmv).

we're supposed to buy that aang and zuko established republic city and that rc is an ontologically independent state with no vestiges of fire nation imperialism left in its functioning, but it takes many large leaps in logic to arrive at that conclusion (such as toph establishing a police force; katara being fine with neocolonialism, including in her home; etc.), that this was a largely positive decision and not a geopolitical blunder. but i think taking a more realistic approach, that aang was forced to make compromises and now korra must decide whether/how to rectify those decisions and with whom to ally to do so, was always the kind of dormant subtext of lok that i felt like needed to be teased out more for the show to work in the direction it had been taken (which, again, is not necessarily the only or best direction they could have taken it).

i do think you'd have to change kuvira's character considerably to make her less cartoonishly evil (she is a fascist ethnonationalist who crowns herself emperor, puts minorities in internment camps, and harvests the resources of a sacred swamp to construct a wmd that is launched from a giant robot...) if you want anyone to buy that korra would ally with her, but korra does also ally herself with some pretty questionable figures, so i hardly think her naïveté in that regard is out of character for her either. i think politically speaking, lok kind of already is a tragedy, so you'll probably find yourself with both an easier and harder job than you'd expect attempting to rewrite the narrative from this particular angle.
