REBLOGGING FOR FURTHER REFERENCE

does anyone know where I can find good reference images of victorian-era wheelchairs? I want to draw the jovial contrarian but all the wheelchair art refs/tutorials I can find are for modern wheelchairs

the scrimblos…..

guys i didnt make a proper introduction but i missclicked and the skizz post is up on this blog and not my drawing blog (@justpentdraws ) by accident, if you want to see more of my art, you should check that account out..

skizz sketchie!

full version of the introduction post from a while back. The entire point of making oc introductions is to make them short and to highlight the most important things but i had to write 2k words of exposition about them otherwise i would just kill myself. thats just how it works

my night manager (who is a gay man) and i sometimes sit down and exchange stories and tidbits about our sexuality and our experiences in the queer cultural enclave. and tonight he and i were talking about the AIDS epidemic. he’s about 50 years old. talking to him about it really hit me hard. like, at one point i commented, “yeah, i’ve heard that every gay person who lived through the epidemic knew at least 2 or 3 people who died,” and he was like “2 or 3? if you went to any bar in manhattan from 1980 to 1990, you knew at least two or three dozen. and if you worked at gay men’s health crisis, you knew hundreds.” and he just listed off so many of his friends who died from it, people who he knew personally and for years. and he even said he has no idea how he made it out alive.

it was really interesting because he said before the aids epidemic, being gay was almost cool. like, it was really becoming accepted. but aids forced everyone back in the closet. it destroyed friendships, relationships, so many cultural centers closed down over it. it basically obliterated all of the progress that queer people had made in the past 50 years.

and like, it’s weird to me, and what i brought to the conversation (i really couldn’t say much though, i was speechless mostly) was like, it’s so weird to me that there’s no continuity in our history? like, aids literally destroyed an entire generation of queer people and our culture. and when you think about it, we are really the first generation of queer people after the aids epidemic. but like, when does anyone our age (16-28 i guess?) ever really talk about aids in terms of the history of queer people? like it’s almost totally forgotten. but it was so huge. imagine that. like, dozens of your friends just dropping dead around you, and you had no idea why, no idea how, and no idea if you would be the next person to die. and it wasn’t a quick death. you would waste away for months and become emaciated and then, eventually, die. and i know it’s kinda sophomoric to suggest this, but like, imagine that happening today with blogs and the internet? like people would just disappear off your tumblr, facebook, instagram, etc. and eventually you’d find out from someone “oh yeah, they and four of their friends died from aids.”

so idk. it was really moving to hear it from someone who experienced it firsthand. and that’s the crazy thing - every queer person you meet over the age of, what, 40? has a story to tell about aids. every time you see a queer person over the age of 40, you know they had friends who died of aids. so idk, i feel like we as the first generation of queer people coming out of the epidemic really have a responsibility to do justice to the history of aids, and we haven’t been doing a very good job of it.

tim had a full breakdown during that episode

Yeah I miss Mumbo too :/

(my minecraft + mcyt tag)

yea a lot more than one burger. a heart for example. yours.

I was writing some random drabble, and instead of writing "I'd like the burger, please" I accidentally wrote "I'd like the burglar, please" and now I honestly can't stop thinking about Thorin making the same mistake

Because a burglar can steal for you more than one burger, that's a real deal.

is this a bloody challange

The fact that the entirety of tma translated into french is only the second longest tma fic on ao3 is absolutely terrifying. The longest fic is 805,450 words. This shit is longer than War and Peace (587,287 words). Longer than the entire LOTR series + The Hobbit (576,459 words). MORE THAN THE BLOODY BIBLE (1611 King James Bible, 788,280 words).

Me and my 6000 word fic will just. move on from that
