as far as having an art-specific blog or having artists who reblog on the same blog with their art, I've never minded either way and also like when I get to kinda meet the artist by seeing their reblogs in the same place! the only fear I think is that you might have less notes on art, since for art-specific blogs i tend to better remember to actually check out their blogs and might even do some spam liking/reblogging!

Ohh that’s true. It’s definitely difficult to check other people’s art blog if they have many reblogs after their newest art, I hadn’t thought about it. Hmmm then probably it’s better to have a separated one but also reblog it here.

Having a link to this blog could probably work as well if they also want to see activity from me since I love reblogging stuff as well. Ahhh I think I’m inclining more towards a separated art blog. Thank you for your opinion ILY💕💕💕🥺

This is such a tangent btw but on the topic of guilt tripping and reblogs... I remember a few years back there were some terrible fires in Greece (and again this year, entire island villages are gone now) and at that time I had family who were caught in them. I can't describe the desperation I felt with these horrible things happening to my family and loved ones in my country. And I remember being frustrated and desperate with how no one around me in America really seemed to give a shit. I remember blogging asking people to PLEASE care please share something please reblog this link for mutual aid please think about the stories and fires etc etc etc. And the thing is I was very much in a state of grief myself, maybe not every word or action was perfectly reasonable, because I don't realistically expect everyone everywhere to care about every tragedy in the world. You can't. Emotionally it's just not possible, especially with all the stuff going on in the states rn too. Yeah it's a lot. It's not like I blog about every tragedy that ever happens either. I understand.

HOWEVER what I also remember was at this time there were a couple mutuals very clearly making vagueposts along the lines of "remember not everyone has the energy to care about everything in the world uwu" while I was posting about family who died and family who were drifting in the ocean for hours as their homes and loved ones burned. Listen. You have to understand sometimes that when a person in grief and frustration with things going on in their countries and communities impacts them very personally beg you to care... It's coming from a place of needing to see that care in the world in general. They're not holding a gun to your head Specifically saying you have to reblog the posts, if you don't have the energy just ignore it.

You don't have to go out of your way saying "um actually I can't care about the horrible stuff you and your family and your country are experiencing rn. I'm too busy focusing on my own stuff so can you be quiet or more reasonable with your grief thanks." Like. Just keep it to yourself then??? Have some fucking sympathy for other people and understand that maybe it's not always logical. The same way you don't have the emotional energy to think about every tragedy in the world, people who've been impacted by them often don't have the emotional energy to handle that alone and may seek somekinda community or solidarity. Idk. It's not about forcing shit on you sometimes it's not about you

coloured version with an actual background coming when i feel like getting around to it

I am SO curious about West Facing!!!!! Tell me all about it!!!

THANK YOU AHH I’m gonna reuse this doodle bc its still relevant lol

So since I’ve been thinking non-stop about royalty and stuff (in case you didn’t know) I ended up going back to my old ocs and pulling some out of the freezer and putting crowns on them lol. I don’t have a ton down for a story yet but SO FAR. It is Quinton Bell, prince/highness of a powerful kingdom looking to annex another kingdom that had gotten sovereignty however many (many many) years back; and Bo Church, a prince from said almost-annexed kingdom.

Basically at the moment its a weird kind of “arranged marriage to avoid war” where Bo’s family basically gives him to Quinton’s family as a sort of peace offering, and it’s not specifically to marry him off but there’s a reason he was the one they handed off as the loudest and angriest black sheep of the children. He’ll be whatever the opposing royal family decides him to be. Meanwhile Quinton’s father has some plans or something about adding exactly such a foreign prince to his family line, and Quinton should get married soon anyway. So the peace offering works, technically, and the threat of invasion goes dormant for at least a little while.

Neither Q nor Bo are totally thrilled with this whole marriage thing.

The vehement hatred being spewed at Glazer for his oscar speech is fascinating to me. Like the point of his speech is that dehumanization is at an all time high for both Jewish Israelis and Palestinians largely because of the fascist right wing government in Israel and parts of Palestine spreading propaganda with the intent of dehumanization. And instead what people seemed to get out of it was "he hates Israel" and "he promotes blood libel". Like please just take a step back from your knee jerk reaction and think for 2 seconds why he would be saying he resents Judaism being used to justify the mass bombing, and starvation of civilians. Think for 2 seconds about how after spending so much time researching and dedicating his blood sweat and tears into a film about one of the worst cases of dehumanization in world history he would feel the need to call it out when he sees it.

And like the thing is he very clearly was talking about there being victims of violent dehumanization on both sides and explicitly mentioned October 7th. Him also saying that he doesn't support the dehumanization of Palestinians and the death of more than 30,000 of them shouldn't be a controversial statement. But no according to people on the internet, and 500 people who work in Hollywood, what he said was "I support terrorism and think everyone in Israel should die"

Like did we hear/read the same speech?? The one where he was preaching the dangers of dehumanization?? And your response is "actually you are dehumanizing Jews by saying not to dehumanize Palestinians" like please just stop, you are honestly just spreading hate and fueling a greater divide that will only lead to more bloodshed and radicalization

and btw im in my hater arc rn. as time goes on the more i find a lot of 'fandom' stuff insufferable (i like art n stuff. just the way that fandom refits every media to fit a single mold and set of boring archetypes is exhausting.)

i just get really easily annoyed lately. and have been unfollowing people on a whim a lot. its not personal i promise

this will be unpopular probably but idk i've been called slurs a time or two and it's personally uncomfortable to see... obviously do as you please in general but when interacting with me or my posts i'd really prefer if yall didn't casually use fag, etc in place of gay and stuff 👍

might remake to a new account entirely and change the name i go by

...

had to hang out in your unicorn overlord tag for a bit. im enjoying it ty for the posts 👍

that's what its there for

I know people don't like hearing this at all but I can't help my feeling disheartened (ha) when a drawing gets a bunch of likes and no reblog. Like psychologically, it straight up feels better to get very few notes at all (people haven't noticed the drawing) than lots of likes and no reblogs (people have noticed it but don't think it's good enough). I don't get this often because I usually draw OCs or for very small fandoms, which is usually either a 0 notes or a "thankful reblog" case. "Holy shit someone IS drawing this rare blorbo everyone check this out" seems to work better for me than drawing from popular media. My drawings aren't impressive but they're not any worse than the other guys' lol

people acting like there isn't still very much an active stigma against cannibas and cannibas users is going to be my joker origin story

when i go to the doctor they still put cannibas use under the tab "substance abuse". not even just substance use. it is fully assumed that people who use cannabis, even as a prescription medication, are abusing it. just because you're friends with a couple of dumbass stoners doesn't mean that we've abandoned the idea as a culture that weed is a bad and scary and dangerous and highly addictive drug that will ruin your life if you use it once
