*President Mic Worthy Inhale* YO YO YO

If I were on my computer I’d set caps lock but!! It’s my phone instead lol so you get normal-ish capitalization for this mini-rant-slash-snap.

Lots of people who hate Bakugo have been bullied in the past. They see their past bullies in him and it triggers them. People with abusive pasts have a similar issue with him as a character. I will repeat: they are triggered by his character itself. This is an observation after reading multiple rants.

Why are people mad at them for it?

There is NOTHING WRONG with being triggered by a fictional character. It’s your body and mind kicking in a defensive response to remind you that if you meet that kind of person irl you need to stay away at all costs. Given that people with abusive pasts are higher targets for and victims of further abuse, I see no problem with their reaction: it should help them stay safe irl.

I want that to be VERY CLEAR: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU FOR BEING TRIGGERED BECAUSE A CHARACTER REMINDS YOU OF CAPITAL B BAD TIMES. NOTHING.

However, that doesn’t give you the right to judge people around you who don’t see it to the same level you do, and it doesn’t mean you can ignore the effect that being triggered by a character is having on your interpretation of them. Because your feelings are valid, you have to acknowledge them whenever you interact with the character. When you don’t, it’s not just the confused fellow readers/viewers around you who end up invalidating your feelings, it’s you.

It’s also important to recognize that if a character triggers you so much that they “ruin the whole show”, you need to stop watching. Your mental health is more important than the next episode, than your hope for a certain ending, than your opinion on whether the world-building will get better. Don’t let the sunk cost fallacy trick you into continuing to hurt yourself because you’ve already invested so much time in the thing. It’s not worth it.

If this means that you stop interacting with canon in favor of fandom works you think are better, that’s great. If it means you quit the fandom, we’ll miss you— but like I said, it’s more important for you to be healthy and happy. In the end the choice is yours. But I hope you’ll use it to stand up for yourself and say “I won’t watch this show because this character triggers me and it’s not worth being triggered every episode.”

I’m very tired, in a real sense, and watching y’all run yourselves into the ground hating a show you don’t have to interact with just hurts. Please stop.

Happy Self-Care-Day!

Today, December 24th, I had cheesy parsley fries for breakfast.

I spent hours playing video games with friends.

I worked out [because I wanted to and makes me feel good].

I took a long bath.

Now I’m by myself and look forward to a quiet evening, undisturbed.

I have literally never felt this happy and content on December 24th in my life. So henceforth, I am rebranding this day to myself to be Self-Care-Day.

If you enjoy the holidays in some kind of religious or communal way - more power to you. I wish you and yours peaceful and joyous gatherings, I truly do.

But if you don’t.

If you feel bad every year because you have to go, to whatever kind of family celebration it might be. If you were relieved when you couldn’t go because of covid or anything else in the previous years: Stop going. I realize this can be difficult. I realize, you might offend your family.

But think of how you may have dreaded those things every year. Possibly for weeks leading up to it. Consider: Do you want to be there? Or do others? Can the mild joy others might feel at your presence make up for the dread you’re going through?

If anyone shall ask me in the following years ‘hey, wanna partake in [insert winter holyday celebration]?’

I shall say: “That is so very sweet of you, but I’m deidcated to celebrate a different holiday already.” And I will be so much less troubled because of it.

Meet with friends and share a high quality foot lotion. Make a movie night. Take a bath. Read a book. Do the thing you haven’t found time to do all year.

Rest.

Happy self-care-day.

two lonely rabbits, two hearts beating as one 🐇🖤🤍 (animated gif) now on inprnt !

old sketch from march I decided to finish <3 usually when one of my sketches (intending to become a completed drawing) gets put on the backburner, it never surfaces. I usually have to prioritize other drawings and then months or years pass and once I have time, I lose interest and start other drawings in their place... but I'm glad I mustered up the energy to finish this one, ESPECIALLY since I strongly felt I needed more gothic pieces in my gallery hehe

the relationships between characters in this series are so interesting, because there are so many character parallels. I actually had to change the personality of white alice from the sketch to the final, since I .. think I misinterpreted her story! (so I think it turned out less gothic horror than desired but you know what I'll take this <3) I first read this story when I was 14 and I 1000% BET I'll still be finding nuances and new details in the writing years into the future...

I had a lot of fun with the animation albeit just being a blink animation 😩👍 but blinks can be animated in a variety of ways! in terms of my animation skills, I do consider myself on the weaker side. so if i can integrate more animation frames into my illustrations, it'll help me become more familiar and comfortable with the medium. I especially like the difference in how many frames it takes for dark Alice vs white Alice to blink. I think the blinks came out fluidly and I'm quite satisfied with how this drawing came out!

Language divides and building bridges.

Elesa’s feeling homesick. Emmet, bless his heart, tries to help by infodumping while Ingo frantically runs off to find water (crying is a very dehydrating experience).

((Would you look at that! The kids are picking up kantonese and galarian from each other!))

Heh. Callback.
