🔹 Saying that it's okay to write or read about dark and taboo topics but only when they're portrayed in a certain way is still censorship.

🔹 Wanting to ban or forbid media that you believe portrays a negative topic in a positive light, by glorifying, romanticizing, or fetishizing it is still censorship.

🔹 There is no objective metric to decide if a story is portraying a negative topic the 'right' way.

🔹 Just because a piece of fiction doesn't explicitly condemn or portray an evil action in a bad light in the text doesn't mean the author thinks its good or is trying to persuade the audience that it is good.

🔹 Survivors of trauma will not always write fiction about their trauma in a way that seems 'right' or 'normal' to you.

🔹 Banning fiction because it portrays dark, taboo topics in a way you consider gross or disgusting is still censorship.

Zoo day today - it was a good day to get some life drawing in and some good practice. We tried to find some animals that were interested in kind of holding still long enough to get their shapes.

Returning to some basics work, trying to finish my first sketch book out completely.

I have a bad habit of using a few pages or getting halfway through then starting another one.

Testing out some new dyes.

I didn't intend for the second egg to make me think of icing and gingerbread but it kind of does, lol

Had a dream last night @lichdandy painstakingly recreated the Creation of Adam in Clip Studio with Thresh and Karthus, and ensured it looked like a proper oil painting with fake brushstroke and textures and everything. They then animated it - the two would oh-so-slightly move to touch their fingers together. Upon contact of one finger meeting the other, their computer speakers nearly blew themselves out with a loud instrumental version of Shania Twain's "I Feel Like a Woman" with the only words kept being the initial "Let's go, girls."

They then proceeded to get angry that I just 'didn't get it', and proceeded to not talk to me any further about what they thought was their magnum opus.

Thank you @tackywizard for making the image that so lovingly recreated this religious experience.

Current mood.

More pysanky done recently.

"A fearsome creature ready to protect its master. "

The Umbral Akh really is my pride and joy on Runescape. Best pet, very handsome, very purple.

First one of the Easter season this year.

Weird mindless doodle done while watching some movies on a gummy. No idea who this man is. He just is.

Hollow Calling

And here are some proper photos of another large acrylic painting!

Find me and my art elsewhere!
