Guys help I just finished watching The Amazing Digital Circus pilot by Glitch/Gooseworx on youtube and I think I'm falling for Jax already, obsessed with this snarky asshole of a... bunny? Digital bunny creature? Idk but I love him already. I have a feeling he's gonna be a secret tragic character just you watch. He's going into my list of "assholes with tragic backstories" group I just know it.

An entry I made for an art contest! It's pretty different from what I usually make so I'm really happy with it!

buckle up, because I’m about to go off. So i posted this take this morning, because I was thinking about F1 fandom’s habit and hipocrisy of criticising “third-world” or “middle-eastern” countries about their breach of human rights (no matter how much i personally think most of it is performative, pat-myself-on-the-back-for-being-a-good-human kinda “activism”), while nobody is saying anything about F1 racing in Miami, Florida, which is currently literally one of the worst places to live. to which, as is usual on good ol’ tumblr, i got this ask

i blocked the anon, obviously, but to borrow dear friends’ words “this ask is so american, all it needs is an eagle, a gun, unaffordable healthcare and perhaps a burger”. HOWEVER. i can’t stay silent. i choose violence (metaphorical) these days. my first thought was to reply with “i’d check my privilege but im too busy being able to check my bloodwork with my free healthcare”, which may be a bit tone-deaf and mean. so i outsorced this ask to certain friends (including a full-blooded american and a person from the middle east), and here is a series of screenshots of their responses, because they are wonderful and smart and more verbose than i was this morning, with only one coffee in my blood and irritation level of +billion. their opinions also kind of matter more than my own, because these are their lived experiences. 

now. as i said, and as you can see, these are the lived experiences of my friends, and are therefore also subjective at their core. so lets look at some facts. 

“florida is in the usa, a free, democratic, modern, developed country where protection of human rights is enforced”, i believe you said? ALLRIGHT:

- a bill that passed in florida 10 days ago that allows judges to alter custody agreements if they think one parent might allow gender affirming care

- florida abortion ban after 6 weeks, with no exceptions for rape or incest after 15 weeks 

- a transgender sports ban in florida that allows genital inspection of minors, aka children (thank you @lauda4theback​ for finding these links for me)

- USA’s position in the Democratic Index;

- tumblr post with sources made around four days ago with details about just some of the gun violence happening in the US currently;

- BBC article about 160 mass shootings that had happened in 2023 up until April 16th and data from gun-violence archive (which, correct me if im wrong, is singularily an american thing);

- Anti-Trans Bill tracker no 1 and no 2 in the US, which, you know, implies violation of basic human rights;

- banning of books in the us to cripple education and avoid taking responsibility and acknowledging already existing and rampantly rising levels of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and generally what you all like to call “traditional (christian) values” and the rest of the world likes to call “blatant right-wing fascism” - here’s florida specifically (god i hate nyt); 

these are just some of the FACTS about the united states, and they very much speak for themselves. i couldve found a million more sources, but, honestly, i dont feel like waddling through more of the mud that is this country’s awful politics and policies. 

now its time for my opinion. im assuming youre american, because if youre not, thats just... i have no words, then. you can come in here spouting absolute fucking brainwashing propaganda your country does to you on a regular basis, but dont expect me to have to listen to it, and do anything other than laugh derisively. your-us centrism is tiring, scary, and insane, because your country, to me, is little more than a glorified cult. it’s dangerous to the rest of the world for many reasons, not the least the way it permeates every sphere of our public life and pushes american fucking propaganda upon all of us, whether we want it or not, and its absurd and awful fucking military, which i would like to see razed to the ground immediately, but i pity you, anon, for being so absolutely lacking in critical thinking that you actually believe this bullshit that you are spewing. i was trying to criticise our fandom’s way of expressing outrage when it comes to non-western, whatever the fuck that means, countries while simultanously not speaking about or even acknoledging the fact that rapid erosion of democracy in the us has all the markings of the same “dictatorial” regimes we like to be enraged over when it comes to racing in bahrain or jeddah or abu dhabi, except the usa is not being held hostage by a single autocratic dictator but with the republican party which controls the government institutions. that is sometimes the only difference i can see.

i wont speak about human rights in the middle east, because i am not middle-eastern. there’s people who can add their opinions here, and i invite them to do so. i also invite anyone to tell me if i got something wrong, used a wrong source, or said anything that i need to re-check or do more research on. but the bottom line is: for you to take my LEGIT criticism and get offended on behalf of the fucking US instead, well. that says a lot about you and your priorities, doesn’t it?

1/19/2024 to those who loved the cake hound in the last post! they love you too! :D

Kiara + outfits

Uhhhhh, this was v fun yall should try and guess which parts of her outfits are stolen from Yazan XD

two conversations i want to have about "dead dove do not eat"

it's annoying how people treat it as a genre or descriptor in and of itself when it hypothetically should have no ties to "problematic" or "dark", it literally just means "what you see is what you get with these tags" - which is a concept that can encompass any kind of writing. in an ideal world dead dove is not a Type of fic, it is literally just a neutral descriptor, and i think it's very annoying how it got largely co-opted by proshippers who think it's shorthand for Dark And Twisted Porn™ and treat it as some kind of genre in and of itself

it just sounds incredibly lame. what's wrong with just saying "yeah heed the tags this is serious" instead of assuming everyone knows about a nonsense vaguely-artsy meme phrase. can we not just use our words

Now that I've had a little bit of time to gather my thoughts and make a little peace with Chay, Lullah, and Richas leaving, I'm gonna admit I'm not too sure what the future holds and that kinda scares me a bit. Just know that whatever happens, I'll always love the qsmp and this project is and will always be one of my most favorite media of all time. Everything from watching the server to making connections with the people in this fandom is something I will always cherish. Qsmpblr yall are the goats. All the sad, happy, and goofy times were the best part of the last year and I will always be grateful. Even if I drift off to new media, and find new interests, you're gonna have to pry all my qsmp essays, fanart, and fanfiction out of my cold dead hands.

Also, the qsmp is what led me to watch so many awesome content creators, especially Bad. His streams are always the highlight of my day that I look forward to. So yeah, I'm a Ghostie until the universe implodes >:D

Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I feel for everyone who has poured so much love into the qsmp. You all are truly the best. Thank you.

A toast to the qsmp, and a toast to all the beloved admins, CC's, and this community I've fallen in love with in the past year <333

Gonna put the thumbnail extra cause hhhhh I prefer putting my Cyberpunk vids as 18+ only to avoid fuckery with Youtube xD

But yeh anyway... I did a very simple video for Kerry's version of "Chippin' In" before, then a more complex one for "Major Crimes", and I've wanted to make a vid for "Kill the Messenger" too cause they're all huge faves of mine of the soundtrack. And I'm that kind of person who always imagines all the scenarios for certain songs (and so many lines in Kill the Messenger line up so good with stuff that happens in the main story imo SO... here we go). I got plans for one more to "Never Fade Away" but I still gotta record some scenes for it 👀

It's not the full version of the song, and it's not perfect, but: it's finished xD And I really like it how it is, learning a little more with each new vid (really dove a bit into what's possible with color grading cause the game is so dark and bleak sometimes, fittingly depressing xD).

Anyways... wanted to share it here too cause I teased about it earlier.

All captured with Streamlabs OBS (free to use although there's probably better alternatives, too) and edited in DaVince Resolve 18 (also free to use, although with some limitations on effects and transitions - can recommend it though as a good PremierePro alternative!).

[Image Description: A digital painting depicting Feldspar standing to the right of a campfire, facing away from the viewer and upwards. They are holding an arm outstretched above them and the other gesticulates as if they were telling a story. Several fireflies surround them and their shadow falls to their right. Wreathed in the smoke of the campfire is a scene of their campsite in Dark Bramble. Three large twisting brambles, the anglerfish fossil’s teeth, and three pine trees are suspended upside down, stretching downwards toward Feldspar and the campfire. A plume of stylized curling smoke stretches across the top of the scene from Feldspar’s ship in the top right corner. The ship is sparking with electrical failure. End Image Description.]

my piece for the @travelers-encore-zine !!!  I think this came out a bit more conceptual than I wanted but I still like it!

Thank you to the mods for making this happen, putting everything together and being an amazing support team!!! Thank you to my fellow contributors for being so lovely and making such amazing things and sharing this project with me, I'm really happy I got to be a part of it!!

Ace...?? they cloned my beautiful wife...

time for something a little different! my irl bestie @stacyandthesea and her co-ost, mo, commissioned me to do some promo art for their comedy tech podcast, fizzbuzz podcast! the idea was to mix the style of vintage pin up art with my cartoony style, and to blend modern and vintage aesthetics. it was a really fun project and a good opportunity to work in a different style ^_^ they just started season two so you should go check them out! https://linktr.ee/fizzbuzzpodcast
