Sometimes You Need Dialogue Tags And Don't Want To Use The Same Four

WIP! image id in alt text

I’m having feeling about this rewatch.

so like. i was like ‘i don’t post 18+ art of the steamy variety on this blog’ and like. that was bc i don’t draw any. 👍 HOWEVER now I draw it bc my friends are certainly some kind of influence on me. no idea what to do

its this post’s fault. i’m not even in the danny phantom fandom (its called the phandom right??) but i’m on tumblr so i experience the tumblr ecosystem

Tumblr

@schnuffel-danny hehehe regarding this post: from schnuffle

oh NO my poor spn self insert being able to see ‘beyond the veil’ (stuff like hellhounds and demons’ true faces) randomly without being able to control it (technically they can but they don’t know that) may have. unintended consequences

i. forgot. uh, castiel is an angel. and probably would break mortals brains. oops. sorry Cove Wesson its a good thing cas is usually MIA in your au. have fun getting high and seeing god.

I should have known if I brought up wc I’d have to talk about. But it includes of a lot of issues with feral/furry designs that use feathers in hair. I don’t necessarily know why the conversation only started and stayed in the wc fandom when horse/wolf/lion feral fandoms are still doing the same thing.

Now having feathers in the design isn’t a racial attack first thing off because there’s a lot of context around what feather’s are used, the shape, and where they are placed. If the look is anything like "rave Coachella looking tribal fantasy feathers and beads" it’s probably insensitive. I’m not to sure why it has to be feathers, I honestly think the wc fandom are holding themselves back when it comes to forwarding designs in a unique way. Tail feathers are also left out in this conversation as well, one or two feathers or feathers in the shape of a birds tail are fine but bunched together feathers are leaning to close to how we have our horses wear feathers. This is in the context of the design already looking like a "medicine cat" already its bad. it’s like those yt girls wear feather head bands but animal addition.

I’ve talked about this before but silhouettes are so important, like Native American stereotypes are on the global scale you cannot escape this silhouette you just have to avoid it. There’s no "but it’s in so many other cultures" no it’s not it’s totally unique to our people that’s why people flock to it because it’s so "mysterious, sacred" whatever their weird twisted up reason is. There’s so many unique ways to break this silhouette you just gotta be more creative. And I feel like instead of being more creative and coming up with totally different ideas it’s just easier to lean on these visual native stereotypes to get across "wild mythical nature fantasy"

I could get into the horse fandom and the weird situations they’re doing over there but that’s another crazy thing. I should say because someone will ask, ostrich feathers on like show horses or knights or puss in boots style is fine not the same thing (breaking the silhouette) they’re not related.

And it comes down to understanding what you are drawing and where this imagery comes from, I’m not gonna get my feelings hurt because of your design but I’ll question why are you drawing stuff like that. You cant remove that cultural/stereotypical imagery, and if you don’t care about it then you don’t care about the history or how it looks on your character and art.

I made it this far on the internet but if you want to be conscious about these things good on yea it doesn’t take much☺️👍

Edit: can’t believe I gotta say this but yes other cultures utilize feathers, if people are using feathers that are used in their culture then don’t harass them. That’s weird have some common sense. Ostrich feathers, peacock feathers it’s actually so interesting how native birds to an area affect the culture there.

Love your belly, it is an extension of your beauty!

ohh thank u!!! i thought it might be an audiodrama podcast since all the reblogs looked like fanart from a specific thing LOL i don’t read tags on pinned posts bc its usually just extra comments & hashtags like ‘#pinned posts’ so i really had to search for the tag guide since i read the whole pinned post and didn’t find anything lol

i’ve been playing around with mimicking the MLP;FiM style and i’m working on an adopt batch using it! its been really fun

so, like half of my mutuals are homestuck fans. I have intentionally tried getting into homestuck at least twice and have repeatedly failed. I have no fucking idea what any of the stuff they reblog means.

anyways you bet your last graham cracker i’m still liking their posts and being like ‘yay homestuck whoo’
