saw a post about redemption arcs and i realized that a lot of our discussions would be improved if we discussed villains for what they are (pieces of a narrative whole) instead of what they definitely are not (real people on trial)
Anytime i see a bunch of pride flags i have to restrain myself from saying "where mexico" bc i doubt anyone will know I'm referencing this
My boyfriend: art is a quasi divine thing, it is the pinnacle of human creation. Essentially, art is an artifice in which the artist imbues a particular lens in which a artist frames a particular object so as the viewer can interpret said object. Art exists separately from the medium; every medium can be used to make something entertaining or well crafted, but that doesn’t make it art, let alone good. Good Art will further its medium/media and/or give meaningful commentary on the world or human condition. *Good* art extends upon being aesthetically gratifying. This is why Sabrina Carpenter, genre fiction, blockbusters, Marvel, etc aren’t art, they’re merely entertainment.
Also my boyfriend: Hailey Welch is a post-modern performance artist

Remember all you. THIS is the post that triggered Rita's ban.
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
Here's the notes on the Medieval Fantasy Star Wars au! I'll add to this as I do more. If you're new here, this is the saga of me drawing Star Wars but like what if it was Fantasy?
You can tell what instruments people are most familiar with by how they do air guitar. Like, people who’ve never played an instrument will do it like how they saw it on tv or from a friend. I played piano and trumpet as a kid, so my understanding of how music is made involves a lot of hand motions. So my air guitar is very heavy in “chord changes” and fretboarding(never got around to learning a string instrument 😔; don’t know the lingo). And people who’ve played guitar/bass, or are pro air guitarists, probably have a more “form accurate” style of air guitar. Makes you think.
since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...
finished lightlark 2! this isn't a spoiler, it's bad
it's pretty much the exact same as the first book but more aimless and scattered. there's a lot of very obvious addressing the critique going on. a series of side quests around a plot which vaguely exists (not really) and an endless amount of grim fanservice. grim flashbacks are half the book and almost entirely a series of fanfiction tropes. it is extremely obviously cribbing off ACOTAR at every turn. it is not a duology and sets up another. the worldbuilding is really really trying to convince you it exists now but is infuriatingly bad. the author thinks you think there's any mystery if isla will date oro (no time or space) or grim (half the book and half a dozen sex or near sex scenes). isla has a magic giant warrior cat now. it's a panther. she names it lynx.
the book says her panther has pointy ears.
