A Mannequin's Lament, an iDKHOW mini comic

internet ransom note where instead of magazine letters it’s just jpgs of letters found on google

❤️💛💚 Risk-inspired outfit, more close-ups + rambles below!

Made this outfit for one of their concerts, it was SO fun aaah! I got the shirt and pants secondhand, and tried fabric paint for the first time - it's neat, tried glow paint too but it didn't rly work :/

Also made these earrings + Kandi bracelets of my favorite songs!

And it's pretty late but I'm partially posting this to celebrate TRUST CEREMONY coming out! Been listening to it a ton since release - his music is genuinely so inspiring, the themes of ambition/purpose/trust [ofc] rly hit home for me

Command CHANCE, Command TRUTH, Command FEAR, Command RISK!

GOD I FUCKING;LOVE. CHARACTERS

do you mind sharing a bit more about your analysis of heart,,,

i'd love to!! (i assume this is about the heart critique piece i did a few months ago, but please correct me if im wrong!)

in terms of the "a critique on the treatment of hearts characterization" piece, i wanted to visually explore some frustrations i have had with how the fanbase seems to fall into some unfortunate patterns when it comes to hearts character.

frequently, i see heart infantilized - this either comes across as him being a kicked dog unable to help himself because he is too weak, a baby angel who did nothing wrong, or a feral gremlin child. i think flattening his character down to any/all of these is, for lack of a better word, a bit problematic?

; one reason being it just defeats the idea of emotions being a visceral, intense thing. heart is meant to represent emotion in its purest form; i feel woobifying him takes away from that concept because it shows having emotions as being inherently weaker or less mature. i think a lot of people kinda forget HMS aren't just tv show characters. they represent greater concepts that near everyone feels and feels uniquely - theyre more sensitive than your typical character. thats not saying treating them as characters is bad! everyone relates to them differently because they are so personal, they make them their own and i think thats really awesome!! ; but boiling them down to these really generic tropes and making heart a baby kinda defeats the idea that emotions are a real, visceral, multifaceted concept. ; another reason i think it can be problematic is that it sometimes unintentionally comes across really ableist? a lot of these 'fandom-y' tropes are already rooted in ableism in some way, which is bad on its own, but theres also the important addition that heart is frequently portrayed as blind.

ive seen people time and time again fall into stereotypes with heart that his blindness makes him weak/helpless/childish. truthfully I dont think people do this intentionally, but its still internalized ableism showing up. i recognize that a lot of the people who woobify heart tend to be on the younger side, so they dont really recognize that theyre flattening him down like that- not out of malicious ignorance, but because theyre kids who havent really had the life experience yet to grasp the full concepts of the album or realize they might be implying harmful stereotypes; that doesn't necessarily mean its okay, but i think its just them being uneducated cause theyre kids and they have yet to learn that stuff. ; all that being said, im not trying to police people on how they portray characters. im not any authority on this fandom/album by any means imaginable - im just a fan like everyone else here! like i said before, characterizing HMS is not inherently a bad thing at all ! its fun, and its what this fanbase is built on in the first place! its so great that everyone can interpret and relate to HMS so personally, i think chonny really hit it off with the concept for the album and the execution is stellar! seeing all the fanart and different interpretations of it and the characters is such a beautiful thing, no matter if its joking, lighthearted, or deep! ; at the end of the day, theres no wrong way to interpret this album, and theres no wrong way to characterize heart. more than anything that critique piece was built up frustration turned to a call to action for people to stop and think deeply for a moment about how they portray heart - to open eyes if someone might be unknowingly flattening or adding problematic ideas to their characterizations. and to just be mindful of that going forward! 💜 

YOU GOT IT WRONG BUT I LOVE YOU YOU'RE KIND OF ROUGH, BUT I LOVE YOU WE GET ALONG AND I LOVE YOU YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU

Hello again!

Here I decided to show my Heart and Mind designs! Soul will be a little later. I made them about a month and a half ago and fixed a bit :]

I've been thinking about their designs for a long time. I had the idea of ​​doing something with the circulatory and nervous systems. When I saw atticustimestwo's designs (his art is amazing), they inspired me even more. In my case, the map of their blood vessels/nerves is something like tattoos (all over the body, I just forgot to draw them on the Heart's back), I am far from a specialist in the circulatory or nervous systems, I took the references from the Internet, so please excuse any inaccuracies.

I don't know why, but the idea to make Heart's chest in this way seemed interesting to me. Don't ask how it should work from an anatomical point of view, it's just an interesting concept :) Mind also has a visible spine on his back.

I came up with the idea for their eyes in English class when I was doing sketches. Heart's eyes refer to the moon 🌘 in black colors. Mind's eyes as the white sun ☀️ (with a pupil in the middle). I took sun's design from Princess Celestia's cutie mark from mlp.

In my interpretation, Heart has scars around his eyes from Mind after one of their fights. Mind didn't damage his eyes much, but Heart did not see anything before that either. Of course he wears a blindfold, but sometimes I really like to draw his eyes (he can't see anything without the blindfold anyway).

Heart has wings, but they disappear and grow after each loop.

I wouldn't be myself if I didn't add claws or sharp teeth to them :3 (although now I think that Mind would be better with fangs, and Heart with claws).

Their hair. Heart's is very dark, almost black (and fluffy :3). I usually draw Mind with white hair and dark roots. I came up with it when I was just drawing with a pencil. It must look like a cloud of static or something similar.

Well, here it is. Hope you enjoyed my rant :D love ya all <3<3
