Getting back into digital art again (woooo)

Hey to anyone who will see this, this is the first time I'm making a post like this, please take the time to read and share or donate if you have the means.

A Palestinian man by the name of Mahmoud Helles came into my asks, sharing his gofundme to get his children and wife out of Gaza. If ANYONE that comes across this has the means to support his campaign, please do, I'm leaving a link below. And if you can't, that's totally okay, just please share, so the others who do have the means to help can.

IMO one of the most oversimplified parts of bioshock discussion i've seen online is the difference between suchong and tenenbaum re: treatment of the little sisters. yeah suchong hates children and tenenbaum eventually redeems herself, but i wish more people talked about them within the context of the cycle of violence as a whole.

suchong and tenenbaum came of age during the second world war. both were victimized by the axis powers, losing their entire families. both were spared only by a combination of blind luck and their own wits, and both survived by collaborating with the enemy and experimenting on their own people. the cycle of violence is the literal structure of their lives. it's how they learned the world.

tenenbaum is only able to change because she understands her own place within this cycle. the little girls force her to see that you're not free from it simply by no longer being the one that's being hurt. it occurs to her after seeing jack's actions that there might be a chance at a life outside the language of violence. the effort of helping jack fills the chasm that abandoning your whole worldview might leave you with. it gives her a something to do with her own pain.

suchong cannot come to grips with this possibility, even when tenenbaum writes him a letter begging him to, because to acknowledge an alternative way of existence would require acknowledging the depths to which he has been hurt. in order to survive the war years he forms a theory of mankind that moving to rapture does not disprove at all: everyone is only in it for themselves. cruelty is the engine the world runs on, and you, in order to make it, must strike first, establish dominance, and become the mask. if the world is not "just like that", if everyone is not in on some kind of con, then what happened during the war was cruel, and abnormal, and there was no reason why.

the children freak both of them out because kids can tell when you're hiding something, even if they don't know the nature of what that something is. brigid eventually allows herself to crack before the innocent gaze of the children, but to suchong it's unbearable. it's a reminder of his own history of being trapped and powerless. as scientists, they do a lot of looking, but the girls look back.

(Based off of @kikidewynter 's post about Shaundi surfing. It was that 'neuron activation' moment)

I watched the Saints Row 4 christmas DLC gameplay while drawing this and I'm not even going to lie it was actually fun??

Drawings that I don't feel like finishing

I remember seeing somebody who made a long ass essay defending Infinite from bad faith critique (that'd I'd agree with, the game made some awful choices but it is far from a centrist or racist game. Everything Booker says should be taken with entire shakers of salt, the purpose of his character is to be an asshole) claim that Bioshock 2 is misogynistic for having a female villain and is antisemitic because Augustus Sinclair has a nose that is large (which would be antisemitic if he was Jewish, but there is nothing in the game to indicate that he is).

Shawty, you became what you swore to destroy! Where is your media literacy this time????? Do you just hate Bioshock 2 because the people who called you racist for liking Infinite said they liked Bioshock 2? You're just as dumb as they are!
