don’t make yourself smaller to make yourself easier to digest. let them fucking choke.

the way he spilled...

The Simpson literally made a joke about this in 1997 this is a settled issue, stop giving power back to straight people

Who had “Joanne casually compares trans people to the Nazis in her Holocaust allegory even though trans people were historically targeted by the Nazis” on their 2023 bingo card?

Since replies have been turned off: She is not comparing trans people and it is incredibly dishonest to say she did. She is saying that the tactics of the death eaters, which include dehumanizing and demonizing, are used by activists who disagree with her.

And you may want a reference to back up what you said. It was gay men, lesbians, and bisexual people who were targeted by the Nazis.

First of all, there is no meaningful difference between the Trans Liberation Movement and trans people. The TLM is made up of trans people. I do not approve of death threats but she is casting all of us in the same color because she hates trans people. Full stop.

Second of all, YOU may want to actually do a little research before claiming trans people weren't targeted by the Nazis. We absolutely were. One of the most famous images of Nazis burning books was them burning research from Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology in Berlin, one of the first institutes to dedicate itself to researching not only queer sexualities, but queer gender identities as well. This is the image:

You can find all of this information on the Institute's Wikipedia page, but if that's not good enough for you here is the actual Holocaust Memorial Day Trust's page on the Nazi sacking of Magnus Hirshfeld's lifelong work. And a quotation in case you can't be bothered to click:

So yes. We were absolutely targeted by Nazis during the 1930s. One of the first trans people to have undergone gender affirming surgery is believed to have died during the attack on this institution.

Get your facts straight or get the fuck off my post.

I used to hate the word faggot but now I realize that it's probably one of the only things that the gay community has left that isn't being sanitized, shined, and sold back to us at a premium by deceitful ass companies who claim to like us but then vote for policies that kill us. you're not gonna see a bank in a pride parade with banners that say "we love faggots" but you sure as hell will see a gay person saying "I love being a faggot" it feels so more real.

and I want it to stay controversial too because if a bank ever feels like they have the right to say "haha faggot right guys? 😏🏳️‍🌈" we should be able to publicly execute their ceo

I wrote in this post why Hogwarts Legacy is antisemitic and why playing this game, even pirated, is like printing out an antisemitic caricature and saying "I just like the art."

I was right.

If you play this game, fuck off and stay away from me.

Sorry, finding this out almost made me cry.

This piece of art made by Peter Gabel “Miniature Mermaid House” it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while.

Double-down on this one getting deleted too

Scréachóg reilige (barn owl, ‘graveyard screecher’) watercolor, gouache, gold leaf, 5x7″

A handful of daisies

edit: I added my colourscript in. This is actually a pretty important step, and I’m sorry I forgot before. 

The whole film took me altogether about 5 grueling months (usually 10-12hours a day) to do. I often felt my butt was going to grow into the chair I usually sat at. 

Please note that this was simply my way of doing my film to achieve the soft-shaded style I wanted; there are many other ways of doing this and some are a lot faster with different results~! :)

This tut differs a bit from my dA version, because tumblr lets me put the combination of gifs and jpegs :D. 

Here’s a book that will really help you start animating:

here’s some books that are good for composition, storytelling and colours:

I hope these helped

I ask that no one removes the credit or source for this tutorial/guide please. thanks :)

If I could go back in time and stop myself from consuming just (1) piece of media I’d stop myself from watching that first episode of Sherlock because it’s been an entire decade since it’s aired and yet every single time I try to plug my phone charger in and miss, my brain is still just like, “Sorry mom and dad, but according to BenDetect CumberSleuth I’m apparently an alcoholic.”

Since I started watercolouring again for my daily sketches, I’ve gotten a lot of asks/dA notes on if I could give a tutorial on watercolouring and also more specific questions that overlapped each other, so I decided to do a semi guide/tips/answering thing.

I actually started watercolouring before I went into digital medium, so I have a bit of personal experience, but I am essentially self-taught when it comes to watercolouring since there weren’t a lot of watercolour tutorials online back then to begin with, so I cannot promise that these are the absolute correct way of doing things. 

Hope it helps anyways :)

Kk, I’ve been getting a lot more questions about watercolour/gouache these days so here’s a reblog. I started using  Windsor & Newton gouache since I posted this though. Hope this helps :)

In highschool I wrote a story about a middle-generation of stellar travelers. Their parents were born on earth and left as children, and the middle generation will not live long enough to see their destination. They live their entire lives on the ship and I wrote about them trying to find their place in everything. They will never know blue skies and warm beaches and open fields with warm breezes. They’ll never know birdsong or crickets or frogs. They’ll never hear the rain on the roof of a dreary day. I never could find the right way to end the story. I wanted it to be a happy ending, but I didn’t know how to do it.

I realize now that it was a book about me dealing with depression before I even knew it. Looking back at how blatant the projecting was, it’s obvious now. It wasn’t then.

In the story, the middle-generation people are lost. They’re apathetic. They’re just a placeholder. The only job they have is to keep the ship running, have kids, and die. As the middle generation of people began becoming adults, suicide rates were skyrocketing. Crime and drug rates were jumping. This generation was completely apathetic because they felt that they had no use.

In the story, a small group of people in the middle-generation create the Weather Project. They turn the ship into a terrarium. They make magnificent gardens and take the DNA of animals they took with them and recreate them and they make this cold, metal spaceship that they have to live their entire lives on into a home. They take what little they have and they break it and rearrange it into something beautiful. They take this radical idea and turn the ship into a wonderful jungle of trees and birds and sunshine.

And I realize now how much it reflects my state of mind as I transitioned from a child into an adult while dealing with depression. You always hear “it gets better” and “when you’re older things will be easier” and I was so sick of waiting for it to get better. I was in the middle-generation stage. And I was sick of it. I was so sick of waiting.

When I was in highschool I didn’t know how to end the story. I didn’t know how to have a happy ending. I didn’t have the life experience then to finish the story in a meaningful way. I didn’t know how to make it better for these middle-generation characters.

But now that I’m older, I’m learning. That if you sit and wait for things to get better, it never will. You have to take your life and break it apart and rearrange it into something beautiful. You have to make the cold metal ship into the garden that you deserve. You have to make your own meaning. You have to plant your own garden.

You have to teach yourself that being happy is not a radical idea.

God you guys I never thought this would become so popular 😱 I was gonna name it The Weather Project after the art installment that inspired it
