what is considered "beautiful" by society is inevitably sexist, racist, ableist, classist, transphobic, and bigoted. it targets and attacks any perceived difference, and it particularly villainizes women of color while co-opting aesthetics; as if features and cultural norms can be worn as accessories.

and the scary thing! you can see all of these things, know them to be true logically, and also know that you are treated better if you are perceived as beautiful. if you have ever been treated as "ugly", you know exactly how much society reviles you if you don't manage to scamper along and perform to their rules.

and how are you supposed to balance that? do you want a nose job to fix your broken nose, or have you just recently been seeing videos about how many people look better after nose jobs. do you want to lose weight to feel good, or is it that when you lose weight people treat you better. do you want to wear this outfit, or is it just the thing that's least likely to get you harassed. do you want to get lip injections for your reasons or is your whole reason that you don't feel beautiful unless you get those lip injections?

and the definitions shift. the goals get more specific. in the way that you only become aware of your tongue when someone mentions it; parts of your body are introduced as problems. i had never heard the term "hip dip" until about a year ago - and it was in the context of how to get rid of this. i'm 30, i know this shit is invented, and yet! i still find that strange voice saying but do you think someone is going to notice?

how the fuck am i supposed to say "this is my genuine choice i am making for my body" when i also know that years of my life have been spent socializing me to accept this as my inevitable fate? how do i know i'm actually doing this out of love for my body - or am i doing it for how i want others to see me, which will be lovely enough to feel loved? how am i supposed to recover when my unhealthy habits are seen as self-discipline but if i relax i'm openly mocked for "letting time win"? how the fuck am i supposed to say "i'm doing it for me" when i'm also very aware that i'm doing it to stop myself from being teased or demeaned? is it my choice if the other option is being bullied?

we are living in a hostage negotiation - either consent to the demands or spend the rest of your life being treated like you're a despicable person.

#i also have things to say about how gender plays into this #but it became like 1450 pages #so i saved the rest in a draft #btw? hip dips used to be like valued in the 90s & 2000s during the ultra thin craze #which is so fucking wild to me bc i am old enough to REMEMBER that people WANTED them #bc they're literally the shape of your bones. they're your hipbones showing. & you literally CANNOT 'target' that area #that would be like targeting your elbow. it's a fucking JOINT.#it is a place where you either do or do not carry mass. the lower ur bodyfat percent and the higher ur thigh & glute strength #the less that you will carry weight there #which is even MORE fucking cruel bc !!! the type of people who are already trying to improve themselves helplessly #are going to be aware of their body! and ur literally GIVING them an insecurity they LITERALLY do not decide!!!!#“it rounds out ur figure” here's something my guy! maybe people shouldn't have to look uniform and sleek !!!#maybe you just want to fuck a manatee !!!#if we're really at the point that you have to apologize for LITERALLY HAVING BONES.....#like sorry my legs had to connect somewhere in my form :( i will hide that from u. my apologies ur honor #(fashion bloggers gagging bc there's evidence other people have skeletons)

IS ANYONE ELSE FEELING KIND TODAY!!! IS ANYONE ELSE FEELING GENEROUS TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE!!! IS ANYBODY ELSE BEING KIND AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND EVEN WHEN ITS HARD!!! IS ANYONE ELSE ASSUMING THE BEST OF OTHERS INTENTIONS AND RESPONDING IN KIND!!!! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME

#having a day ^_^#I love being kind I just wish other people loved being kind more #people on the internet are SO FUCKING MEAN TO EACH OTHER???? its a terrible phenomenon #I have never seen people in real life treat others badly with the horrifying proportion of hate I see online #please. try to be kinder try to be more patient even when its frustrating #I have changed minds and deescalated arguments SO many times by being kind.#if someone is spouting misinfo in a furious rage and they're saying hurtful things? try responding with patience and kindness #even when you don't feel they deserve it. because one of 2 things usually happens #EITHER. they immediately shift their tone because you're talking to them like an equal and not an idiot #OR they continue to be horrible and it makes them look really nasty. its not a good look!! most people won't do the second thing!!#hateful online arguments has turned my mental health into a disgusting stew in the past #since I started being kind out of sheer frustration my mental health has improved a thousandfold #listen. sometimes its okay to be mean. if someone tells you to kill yourself I dont think its appropriate to give them patience and kindnes #BUT. if you treat someone like they're stupid. even if you're right!!! they won't listen to you or consider your words!!#because admitting you're right means admitting that they're stupid like you think they are. that feels bad so people won't do it #my wisdom. today I am so tired

found an old thing

#moondrop #its 11 months old according to my malmal activity #im back to drawing them again it seems TT #they're the kind of characters u can't help but go back to whenever you're tired #or in this case; when you don't have any ideas to draw lol #drawing a character so much that its become a habit even when ure interested in smth else rn #anyway yes im drawing sun and i hate that my improvement really shows whenever i draw them >:(#sorry for the ramble but also not sorry for the ramble (i am the ruler of these tags)#might try writing a fic abt them once i get a hang of writing characters #with my whole heart; i wish for them to fucking Cry #they deserve to be able to weep the tears they haven't wept

With no words, with no song

I’m gonna dance the dream

And make the dream come true

I’m gonna dance the dream

And make the dream come true

[part 1]

#doodles #fe art tag #fire emblem three houses #fe3h #byleth #edelgard von hresvelg #claude von riegan #dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #sothis #kate bush #thank you to everyone who put the idea in my head to fit more of the lyrics to imagery #this has also been in my sketchbook a while but i think i got it done faster than the other one #it was just a creative frenzy #once again i did all the lines in my sketchbook by hand with a .38 muji pen #and then filled in the black and the light amount of color on sothis in procreate #i think the only panel i really worry about is that claude getting shot off of his wyvern is still hard to distinguish #but! if i eventually rework this i'll try and improve it #for now i just want to get this out there bc i am SO EXCITED with how it came out overall!#i'm now also kinda considering reworking that sylvain and pomegranates piece but that is for another time #for now please enjoy the artwork ehehe #might put this one up on redbubble too just depends on how i feel about it

Look a Ninjago drawing :)

#lego ninjago #ninjago #pixal ninjago #ninjago pixal #lego ninjago pixal #pixal #pixal borg #ninjago art #ninjago fanart #my art #I have a feeling you don't actually believe you are good at what you're doing #that's what my therapist said to me last week #and that made me think #when did I started resenting what always made me happy? Because all I feel is that no matter how much I try I'm never happy #I'm in a place where I'll start to get nightmares every time I post something #Don't get me wrong I am so grateful for all the support you guys gave me and I feel really happy with the friends I got here #but things are not balanced #I have been doing art for such a short time and I can see how much I have improved #but if I am not happy with my own art I see no reason to keep doing it #I've only been drawing and getting better because you gave me so much support but the support is not working now #because no matter what I'll never be satisfied with myself #I know I will hate this drawing the moment I post it but everyone following me is a follower because of ninjago and I can't ignore that #So for y'all a drawing

jevin!!!!!!!!!! didn't have access to a scanner so this is my first (and hopefully last) sketchbook picture of the challenge... you can see the scale i'm actually working on here (i have small hands so my sketchbook looks bigger than it is) tbh i do not like how this came out but it was fun and i might recreate it digitally once the challenge is over

#i have lots of ideas on how i could improve this drawing if i were to redo it... i couldn't do that within the time constraints But #it's always good to recognise what i don't like about a drawing and be able to think of ways i could improve next time #also i rly like the pen colours i chose even tho my vision didn't rly come across #i enjoyed the process and i like the idea i had even if i don't love the execution and that's what matters really #i think the mushroom forest idea is so fun n it's something i've played with before and will def try again in the future #i rly like the way jev looks in this drawing n it's actually the bg i don't love which is the opposite of what normally happens!!#i am primarily a bg artists so.. learning to merge the two is something i am keen to have a go at #hermit a day may #hermitaday #horsemeatluvr does hermitaday #ijevin fanart #ijevin #jevin #hermitcraft #horsemeat gallery #traditional art

Things my father keeps saying:

he'd rather have a gay kid than a loveless one.

Me, aro/ace, in a QPR with a girl. : uhuh

We need to "remigrate immigrants' like other european countries do

Me: studied transculturalism for 1 1/2 years: ...

None of my children are doing anything with their life! Where are you (me) even going with your life? Look at my siblings and how well their children are doing!!!! (He means the teacher brother specifically)

*about to change major to become a teacher*

My dad: only people who never learned anything become teachers

You're going to live half a year at home and do nothing?????

I'm still registered at the uni so I get financial support from the state. I'm planning to move in with my gf soon, close to the other university where I want to go next semester. Planning to improve physically and work more on art and finally get around to write a book because that's always been my dream. "Apparently"

At my brother, who is struggling to get his foot in society: look at your sister!!! What positive example

Me: ... *Who feels inadequate and loves their brother very much, thank you* I'm starting to think my dad just hates us. And me, specifically.

(by the way, the morals I have today, he taught me. The work ethic I have, he taught me those.)

#rant #delete later #sorry #i just had a disturbing conversation with him #and i am so....#i mean #i know he loves us and everything #and he's trying to connect with us #and improve as a person #but his morals are just fucked up #we have a good relationship apart from that #but sometimes he just really jumps over the line

Free time has (sort of) arrived

(cat is katsrkole on instagram)

#still trying to figure out snouts #shockingly enough I never really drew anthro characters before i found ralsei #see i've actually done quite a lot of larger drawings in my figure drawing class #around 10-12 #but they're all drawings of real people and half of them are unclothed #and i have no interest in posting either of those things here #but just like last semester #the things i'm learning in that class are popping up in my personal drawings #so in a way i'm still kinda sharing a bit of what i've learned this semester? sort of??#i'm gonna be so damn sad when i don't have this professor anymore #he takes the stress out of model drawing so that we can focus on actually improving instead of just fighting for our grades #and it's working so well for pretty much everyone in the class #i will still likely not be doing any actual drawings any time soon #but if i went any longer without drawing for myself?#i think i was gonna combust #this was actually cathartic i am in a much better mood now #cats #kris #susie #ralsei #deltarune #doodles #okay tag wall finished now i will scroll because i have missed quite a lot lately

here's a thought: we all know by now that scene in furina's demo where she imitates other archons on the swing yeah?

i had the thought while watching it again,, what if she studied up on other nation's lores particularly how their archons (and other highly revered beings, ex, adepti) are like or how they are depicted in human literature and historical writings?

like... she had absolutely no idea how to be a god, and an actor does need to be acquainted with their role to ne able to portray and embody it... call it role study lol

#tulip brainrots #furina #furina de fontaine #not really a ground breaking thought #but. it just struck me #thats how shes able to imitate the other archons well in that pv and have the audience cheer for her #ofc w her skill she'd be able to improv something without but yk #she did her Homework #and on that note #since she was desperately trying to find solutions to the prophecy wherever she can #she definitely knows a lot of things...#furina might know a lot of teyvat lore even the forbidden ones #maybe. dont quote me on the forbidden ones but i know my girlie knows a lot more than she lets on #alternatively i am overthinking #in which case please leave me to my delusions
