hand studies for the bloomic love interests cuz I wanted to try out adding more variety in drawing the appendages

I love to think about the citizens in Mumbo’s base as a bit sketchy but overall well meaning. Mumbo’s gone for months? Well, they can’t have their guy looking poor! So, beyond making sure the copper stays shiny and lights in perfect condition, they’ll every once in a while steal a diamond or two that haven’t been collected from shops yet or were just laying around in chests and add it to Mumbo’s vault. And when a king’s amount of diamonds randomly shows up, and grumblings of missing funds can be heard from almost all the hermits? They keep their heads down, whistling a merry tune, shining the copper long after the job had already been done

i wonder if alex would learn to tolerate a thing or two from

They're teachin' me to kill, who's teachin' me to love?

I've been seeing a lot of posts going around lately about how lesbianism needs to be more heavily policed, if you feel in any way discriminated against by other lesbians it's because you're not actually a real lesbian, you're lesbophobic, etc etc, and I really am fucking tired of it I have to be honest. You are not lesbophobic for being a complicated human being. I thought we were fucking aware by now that heavily policing lesbian identities was never cute, we had it with the fucking gold star lesbian bullshit, with the fucking political lesbian bullshit, etc etc. If you are so woke to the idea that society pressures women to be sexually attracted to men, why are you not woke to the idea that that can affect someone's psyche and how they perceive their own sexuality? Sexuality is complicated, gender is complicated, and idk why y'all are incapable of believing that can make identifying as any strict label complicated?? Acting like people haven't had it out for non-binary lesbians, for trans lesbians, for lesbians who used to id as bi and vice versa, for literally everyone who doesn't fit the cis gold star lesbian attracted to other cis gold star lesbian mold, and every time I see one of these posts I have to always check the notes for terfs because you are literally spouting off the same shit as them word for goddamn word. I was in an abusive relationship with a man for 3.5 years and identified as bisexual, and then after I got out of that relationship, I lost interest in men/realized I never had any (??? SHIT IS COMPLICATED), I haven't been with a man in 5 years but I still feel like I need to be paranoid about labeling myself as a lesbian and I can't talk about my past because sometimes I'm not sure if I still feel attraction to men and it's just suppressed because of trauma, or if I only think that I'm feeling attraction to men because of heteronormativity, etc and it's scary to even mention right now bc y'all are literally incapable of acknowledging that sexuality is complicated sometimes?? Like legit! If you are woke to heteronormativity how can you not understand that makes shit complicated. I know 40 year old lesbians who had threesomes with a man and it doesn't matter to them because they know who they are and what they are about. Also, other queer people using labels that make themselves feel comfortable is not somehow discrimination against you. Other queer people are not your fucking enemies and you need to stop treating them like your enemies, because it is not cute. You are not protecting lesbianism, you are just making people with complex and nuanced experiences feel unsafe. Get some fucking solidarity. I am tired. I am tired.

GUESS WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY!!!

apparently my aunt is upset her daughter (mid-30s) doesn’t seem like she’ll get married any time soon and when my mother told me that i laughed so hard bc like. me and our other cousin (late-30s) aren’t married and clearly have no interest in it and are thriving in our careers. the only cousin from this side of the family who’s married is—you guessed it—the only male cousin.

am once again thinking about how venti is quite literally friend shaped

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.

i remember when i was like 15-16 years old, and i was woobifying the hell out of lapis lazuli from land of the lustrous. i looked on a relatively well-known blog within that fanbase complaining about said woobification. they did not name names, but i knew that it was about me. LMAO

reading fight club and thinking about the motivation to do all that shit being a deep, deep insecurity with masculinity and particularly one's desires to be touched by another man (and when he punches you, you get to feel something really intense, and it's acceptable to feel intense being touched by another man then)... and how my own relationship with masculinity and desire for other men has NEVER included a desire for mutual violence, like i've been a physical bully but never open to actual fights because that means getting hit back, and pain is just too different from pleasure for me. i've always hated physical pain to the point that i go out of my way to avoid even risking it, i find it innately traumatic and fear anything discomforting being done to my body, and this fact in and of itself has actually always been a sort of insecurity of mine wrt masculinity.

and of course (why else would i be posting this here) i'm thinking of tom's (pansy) attempts at expression of masculinity through violence, and thinly-veiled expression of homosexual desire through inciting a (wimpy) mutual fight, and how in spite of his deep DEEP insecurity he is, like me, so clearly NOT remotely capable nor even inclined to a fight club situation. and it's no question that this is because gender overlaps very much with class. it's tom's middle class origins and high upper class aspirations that interact so much with his security in his gender (ironically to be willing to fight is actually more vulnerable than he's capable of, like he hates vulnerability so much it loops back around to becoming effeminate, but like in the way that wealth and advancement of society changes certain rules of effeminacy) and his innate sexuality. fight club portrays a world of not just toxic masculinity but blue-collar toxic masculinity, where men at the bottom of society's barrel are brainwashed in a way to not believe that they deserve anything, and where that brand of masculinity is envied by the lower middle class who feel like cogs in a machine that doesn't reward them. they figure it's all worth throwing away.

meanwhile, tom (and greg) (and i) have always believed that we deserved more than we had. above tom's insecurities ARE a total rejection of physical pain (enough to even convince oneself that discomfort isn't there!) and a drive for pleasure and decadence, and this is why his relationship with violence is what it is.
