"humans will pack bond with anything" yes! and how lovely to live in a world so full of creatures willing to pack bond with humans!
i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they’re allowed to go to extremes. they’re allowed to put their love over the greater good. they’re allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.
Yea, sure. Until YOU or people you love are among the victims for someone else’s love and the villains won’t care. Would also like to point out that some villians(Kuvira, for example) have been willing to sacrifice/throw away love interests for their own goals.
idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars.
“Yeah this is my comfort fic” and it's the most gut-wrenching, depressive and angsty fic you have ever read.
Babygirl you are preventing me from fast traveling
Hey guys!
I’m a black artist and mostly do concept work and character design.
I consume a lot of indie and self-published media, and I keep noticing some not great trends from what I assume are well-intentioned artists. I figure the best way to help is to educate, so
Lets get into racist character design!
Before I start this post, here is a disclaimer:
First thing we’re gonna do is go over features. I see a lot of artists say that black people “don’t work” in their style, so using picrews I’ll create a badly drawn black person, and then a properly drawn one in the same style:
Using this picrew:
“But wait!” I can hear you saying, “That’s not the same hairstyle!” And you’re right, it’s not. But the reason for that is that afro hair does not and will not move or fall in the same way as straighter hair. In some cases, these hairstyles can be imitated with braids or locs though, like the example below.
Another example, using this picrew:
Also, don’t be afraid to push it farther and make them darker with curlier hair and fuller features.
Now with this picrew:
Next, let’s talk character lineups. You can do black characters with weird and unusual features. You can do black characters that have dyed hair or light eyes. But if all your black characters look unusual to the point that none of them resemble a black person you’d likely encounter in real life, that’s when it definitely becomes an issue. Or even worse, your black character is very unusual looking and is the only black character??? Do not do that.
Some character line up examples, using this picrew:
Last thing! I’m a huge supporter of the natural hair movement and it really baffles me that people seem to struggle to give black characters interesting hairstyles because there’s honestly SO much you can do with afro hair.
With this in mind, I used those same 3 picrews to make some collages of really cool hairstyles with black hair.
HELLO, THIS

These statements are worse than I ever could have expected and I thought my expectations were already at zero

How hard can it be not to be so racist … And they’re going on about it on mainstream TV and see nothing wrong with it. WTF.
I mean, I have some “this is in a country that’s literally a DAY TRIP from mine” thoughts, but why would the skin colour or religion play any fucking role here?
Nah. Nah, I take the question back, because I know exactly why. Because what they’re really saying is: “What is so shocking about this is that it’s happening to actual people.”
i care about my favorite fictional characters a normal amount
