An homage to freedom, the Statue of Liberty stands tall in 1986, reinterpreted by Chermayeff & Geismar Associates. A beacon on New York's skyline.

sometimes when I'm looking for sources I remember that one time in undergrad when, at 3:30 in the morning, I somehow stumbled upon an entirely german-language archive of "Schoethe" (Schiller/Goethe) fanfic

when this memory comes, unbidden, into my mental cortices I literally turn my head to the side, make direct eye contact with the invisible camera that follows me around everywhere, and make A Face™

and then usually put down my laptop and go lay down

#if I make one of those tag yourself DNI posts one of the DNIs will be writers of schoethe fanfic #right up there with jacobin yaoi artists and people who draw sadboy fanart of fritz and katte #all of you are of course deeply appreciated for your bravery and artistic merit but I absolutely cannot associate with you in public #shitpost nach sacher art

AU in which Philip didn't kill his brother (for some reason) and he and Caleb's child accidentally bond over cringing whenever Caleb and his wife start flirting with each other (or kissing, lmao). Philip hasn't quite worked past his prejudices yet. Wittechild is simply just your average child.

I'm not taking this seriously, neither should you.

#plot twist: caleb and wittewife are doing this on purpose #wittechild didn't like their uncle at first so their parents are forcing them to have some bonding time #next up they start dancing in public and both philip and wittechild refuse to be associated with caleb and wittewife #they both walk away asap #i can't take this seriously i am sorry #this is probably my dumbest toh comic yet #philip is giving off little brother vibes as usual #toh #owl house #philip wittebane #caleb wittebane #wittebro #wittewife #wittechild #au #comic #sketch #fanart #my art

got the posting anxiety bad tonight

#click clack #ok a peak into my thought process and anxiety here we go #ok so the art is almost done and up to standard I would post onto my art blog #BUT for some reason the thought of posting art of my ocs there scares me #because even tho it’s my art blog in my mind it’s the equivalent to a art gallery that demands being detached????? from the art #like once I share it there it’s no longer ‘mine’ but to the public #and my ocs (plus the stories that go with them) are like the closest to my heart and relinquishing them feels like a lot #a part of my imagination that I spent so much time with developing over the years to be placed up for judgement…#so then the solution could be to put it here on my personal! the online space cozy enough and filled with other posts that could easily bury #the original posts I put here #but there goes my other dilemma. i don’t want them too associated with my personal for if one day i do muster up something for publication #my big fear is that ppl will find this space and go thru everything. the fear of being perceived and judged 😵‍💫#all the hypotheticals and anxiety for something that may not even happen #dumb mind problems my head made up 🙄#anyway writing it out helped lol I’m posting it to my art blog I decided 👍#I have to work on getting that blog to be comfortable space to post… i should lower that silly self imposed standard I set for myself #and be whatever about ppl being aware of my online presences #maybe… [grinding my teeth] I should post my messy sketches onto my art blog…#I should take my friends suggestion and make a website to feature my ocs…🤔#idk my only other solution that doesn’t feel viable to mitigate the anxiety is to slowly introduce my ocs in the background of setting art #just a slow drip until they are in the forefront #bleghhh whatever much ado about nothing it’s like I never posted my ocs ever when I have indeed posted them before on both places ( º＿º )#I’m realizing it happens too when I post too much fanart in a row… I have curator disease??? 🫨#or something I used to be very particular about what order I reblog stuff like it used to be by color and content balanced out #I still do to a lesser degree… but it used to be pretty bad #post order compulsion????#the fear of being abrupt and incohesive in between posts…#if you read this far thanks you can now see how much this consumes me 🙃

Just two clever, quiet men hiding in their own shadow

#this baby can fit SO MANY PARALLELS #and they're BEST FRIENDS!#ouuugh I could write essays about them #one side of the coin is a struggle to do good with enormous privilege (and associated public image)#the other side is a battle of wits to root out evil #it's about the persona they cultivate #and the persona they inhabit when nobody is watching #it's about how sometimes you put on acts to conceal and sometimes you put on acts to reveal #it's about RESPONSIBILITY and DOING THE JOB YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO #next up: we dissect human construction of a concept of justice #sorry mutuals for being Symbolic On Main #I'll shitpost double time to make up for it #batman #superman #clark kent #bruce wayne #my art #dc

I find it extremely discouraging how a lot of the time art uploaded to be seen online becomes influenced under the constraints of monetary gain and attention.

It feels like value is placed more on what would be most successful within a wide-reaching audience rather than actual care and intention put behind the work one does.

I think this explains why a lot of art, even by really skilled artists I admire, sometimes end up becoming empty and overly similar to each other.

#btw I am not talking about artists taking commissions or being paid for their work in any way #stuff like that is very important especially if you are doing that work fulltime #it is extremely fair to judge commission/paid pieces under a different eye than personal work and projects by the artist #also this isn't to police what ppl enjoy to draw #really draw whatever you want! it affects no one!#this is just a trend I am noticing though with a lot of people and it doesn't sit well with my morals and beliefs on art ig #I hear a lot from fellow classmates on how they intent to curate their accounts etc #and idk maybe it is just me not being confident about my work turnaround and public presentation #but making work with the only intention to look good and copy what other people do feels so souless #kind of like how everyone applying to certain art schools try to keep the same art style associated with that place #I really do think sites like twitter instagram and maybe even artstation kind of enforces that #correct me if I am wrong #personally I don't really have that same anxiety or pressure on here though #idk tumblr feels a lot less demanding or scrutinizing to post stuff onto especially unpolished stuff #sorry for the rant I will def talk about this again sometime #squack

going to make my own version of those "that girl" videos that used to go around on tiktok (which were basically aesthetically-styled disordered eating so far as i could tell tbh) but mine will be me eating stuff like hard-boiled eggs slathered with mustard & enjoying it with a degree of enthusiasm that viewers find off-putting. my "that girl" trait will not be yoga or drinking five gallons of water a day or even having nice hair or clear skin, it will simply be my joie de vivre or however it's spelled

#i used to eat hard boiled eggs w mustard on them all the time in college bc they had them in the vending machines #and they also had packets of mustard #and i forgot my lunch like every day lol #so that became my lunch #it's a humbling experience to eat a wholeass hard boiled egg in public with like. no knife to cut it in half btw. like you just have to #take bites and it's fine but you feel silly and inelegant #it does not help if you are very gender nonconforming at the time but like. aren't trying to be. jfhfhfjgh #<- was really bad at fitting in during college bc i had super short hair and wore men's jeans and sweaters from goodwill #all of which are actually swag things to do btw but like it doesn't feel swag at all if you like. are actually trying to fit in #and are just very bad at it #and genuinely cannot connect the dots on Why Girls Don't Want To Be Your Friend (it CAN'T just be that you're getting read as queer. right?)#(because that would be so messed up if it was because of that.)#[narrator voice: it was because of that]#anyways this is off the rails bc it was supposed to be about eggs and my love of them but #a lot of people say that college is better than high school. and for me it WAS by a lot but it still was really hard in a lot of ways #i felt deeply isolated. i went to an ag school in the middle of a midwest state and studied STEM #in high school i associated with basically only queer art kids (not a huge high school and a lot of us weren't out yet but. y'know.)#and then in college i felt very out of place #and towards the end of college i decided to try and take a stab at looking more traditionally feminine. grew out my hair #got rid of my bangs #it was fine #i definitely noticed that people treated me much nicer once i had long hair and women's clothes that actually fit me #and i was like okay yeah so i guess i just should try to pass as straight then. that seems like it'll be easier #during the pandemic i gave myself bangs again. just a lil bi girl swag yk. and then last august i got my hair cut into a real short bob #and i immediately felt so much more like myself. idk how to explain it. but i was just like not meant to be feminine in that exact way #i'm honestly still pretty feminine presenting overall but #i love the fact that if i wear my hair messy now it looks kinda boyish. and if i style it nicely it looks girly.#i feel like i have options yk. and i still don't think i get read as queer now tbh? though i'm bad at knowing these things #but i don't feel like i'm HIDING anymore #WOW THAT WAS LONG SORRY LMAO

did a gymsona quiz and obviously had to draw something about it. quiz results and dialogue beneath the cut

[Pre-battle dialogue:]

“There’s not a lot of Ice-Type Pokemon native to Kalos. Some people get mad that I don’t use an Avalugg or Aurorus, but I don’t want to force Pokemon to battle with me that I don’t have a strong connection with, y’know?”

“Anyways, you’re here for a battle. Let's get to it.”

[Gym Leader win:]

“You lost this match. Better luck next time.”

[Rematch dialogue:]

“Oh, you’re back. Here for another battle? Let’s get to it.”

[Gym Leader loss:]

“You beat me. Good job.” [You received $ for winning!]

“You’re on your way to the League. Here’s your badge.” [You obtained the Frost Badge!] “Be careful that you don’t get trapped in a blizzard, they’re very dangerous. … That wasn’t a threat, I promise. Some people think that because I use the move Blizzard in battle, when I talk about blizzards being dangerous, that I’m being passive aggressive, but I’m not. … Oh! Sorry, I nearly forgot. Here’s your reward.” [Obtained the TM Blizzard!] Okay. Bye.”

#pokemon #gymsona #pokemon xy #pokemon swsh #gym leader #ice type #art #trainer #my art #jack would hypothetically succeed wulfric #and bc the league association doesn't rlly like paying so much money to remodel gyms each time a new leader is chosen #they try to stick with the same type mastery #even if the leader's social skills and relation with the public are somewhat. lacking

“Session,” Moon Knight (Vol. 9/2021), #10.

Writer: Jed MacKay; Penciler and Inker: Alessandro Cappuccio; Colorist: Rachelle Rosenberg; Letterer: Cory Petit

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Marvel 616 #Moon Knight vol. 9 #Moon Knight 2021 #Moon Knight comics #Moon Knight #Marc Spector #first off…I just really love the art on that second page #Furthermore I love how this brings up a dichotomy at Marc’s core that has always fascinated me:#his rebellious nature vs. his penchant for ending up back under Khonshu’s thumb #the former was more emphasized in early runs (e.g. Marc’s fights with his father and his dishonorable discharge for slugging his NCO)#but nonetheless Marc remains a character who is not one for convention as he for a variety of reasons #stands on the fringes of superhero society #and YET in Marc’s own words in this run he became Khonshu’s Fist (as muddy as the initial agreement was)#with all the guilt associated with that #which brings me to my second point!#Marc and his guilt: throughout his publication history it’s been a constant cycle of him shaking off that burden and picking it back up #leading to the question: can Marc as function as a hero without his guilt motivating him?#I personally would like to say “signs point to yes” but historically…he tends to fall back on it

there was A LOT in my dream last night and i’m not listing everything because that would take forever but i at least wanna say at one point i looked at the moon because i wanted to see “the man in the moon” and it kinda looked like this

#dream #dreams #zombie talks #my art #moon #there was also a public performance of some sonic the hedgehog skits which doubled as a dessert potluck #and there were sonic-themed fountains #and another part featured a really fucked up game with a bunch of kidnapped people (including me) forced to do gross stuff #except the part where we had to dodge massive vertical waves of dish soap; that part was cool #but yeah we kept finding corpses of people who didn’t make it #it was run by sadistic pervy hosts #but then some of us escaped and we had to hide from them #and another part had some robots built by my sister(??) who were about to be evicted from her apartment #(which is weird because my sister in real life has no association that i know of with robotics)#and yet another part had me playing super mario 64 except it was with yugioh characters #lil 64 bit renditions of them it was cute #oh yeah i also got to live in a castle at one point #and i correctly guessed that a newly-built wall had a prison inside it #and there was something about me dressing up as a widow for halloween?? idk #also that moon had broken pillars surrounding it #that conspiracy theorists thought were evidence of extraterrestrial life #but actually we put them there; i forget why #anyway that’s not even everything but if i listed everything we’d be here all day so
