Something Thats Really Funny To Me Is The Fact That As A Person With Tattoos All It Takes For The Social

there's at least one of these for every fandom but I haven't seen a Witcher version before, so

I LOVE HOW YOU'VE DONE YASSEN!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!

This is for @actuallytalldumbass but everyone else can look at it too ig... strap in tho, I'm a yapper, warning for ddbs spoilers as well lol

this one is prob what i would consider the first definitive piece of art I did of Alex that established this sort of look. The braid was a very essential part to how I drew him in the beginning, but these days I almost forget about it entirely.

this is a goofy idea i had of Alex and Yassen in that cutscene from Silent Hill. Not my best work, and I had never drawn Yassen before when I did this so he looks like about six different people throughout.

based on a bts photo from End of the Fucking World. love that show. and I think my art teacher posted this on his insta.... don't go looking tho.

I was reading Devil and the Deep Blue Sea around this time so occasionally the art will have them in what is likely a very inaccurate uniform. Not happy w how Yassen looks, but Alex? Amazing. the little thing in the corner is a note from my friend telling me that Alex does NOT look like that.

someone i know suggested a propeller hat.

Read a Sarov-Wins fic. Alex in a commie uniform.... what can I say...

Alex and Yassen (And My Melody shhhh)

I started drawing goofy t-shirts. That's a skateboard btw.

captioned "Meanwhile on Santa Caterina" there was a companion drawing of Julius pretending to be Alex, but I didn't include it.

The leg in his face prob looks familiar from the soccer drawings.

nothin to say about this

what i imagined Alex wearing before confronting Kurst in ddbs

Alex having a mental breakdown or smth. wearing interesting makeup too, idk why.

I think my main concern with posting Alex with long hair is less about the non-canon aspect of it and more about how unintentionally feminine my art style makes him look.... I have no problem with it, but I'm not sure about other people haha.

BONUS YASSEN BAM!

Y'know, whenever people want to talk about why aspec people 'count' as an oppressed identity, they tend to go for the big stuff like corrective rape and conversion therapy. And like, we should absolutely talk about that stuff. Obviously those things are terrible and important and we need to raise awareness and deal with them.

But I feel like people often gloss over how… quietly traumatising it is to grow up being told that there is only one way to be happy— and that everybody who doesn't conform to that norm is secretly miserable and just doesn't know it— and then to gradually realise that, for reasons that you cannot help, that is never going to happen for you.

You're not going to find a prince/princess and ride off into the sunset. Or if you do, then it's not going to look exactly the way it does in fairytales. You're not going to get a 'normal' relationship, because you are not 'normal', and everybody and everything around you keeps telling you that that's bad.

You see films where characters are presented as being financially stable, genuinely passionate about their work and surrounded by friends and family, but then spend the rest of the plot realising that the real thing they needed was a (romantic and sexual) partner, to make them 'complete'.

You absorb the idea that any relationships you have with allo people will ultimately be unfulfilling on their side, and that this will be your fault (even if you discussed things with your partner beforehand and they decided that they were a-okay with having those sorts of boundaries in a relationship) unless you deliberately force yourself into situations that you aren't comfortable with, so as to make uo for your 'defects'.

You grow up feeling lowkey gaslighted because all the adults in your life (even in LGBT+ spaces. In fact especially in LGBT+ spaces) are insisting that it's totally normal to not be attracted to anybody at your age, and then you go to school and everybody keeps pressuring you to name somebody you're attracted to because they can't imagine not being attracted to anybody at your age.

And then you get older and realise that one day you're going to be expected to leave home, and that one day all your friends are going to be expected to put aside other relationships and 'settle down' with a primary partner and you don't know what you're going to do after that because you straight up don't have a roadmap for what a 'happy ending' looks like for someone like you.

(And the LGBT+ community is little help, because so many people in there are more than happy to tell you that you're not oppressed at all. That you're like this because you don't want to have sex, and/or you don't want to have any relationships, that your orientation is some sort of choice you made— like not eating bananas— rather than an intrinsic part of you that a lot of us have at some point tried to wish away.)

Even if you're grey or demi, and do experience those feelings, you still have to deal with the fact that you're not experiencing them the 'normal' way and that that's going to effect your relationships and your ability to find one in the first place.

If you're aiming for lifelong singlehood (which is valid af) or looking for a qpp, then you're going to have to spend the rest of your life either letting people make wrong assumptions about your situation (at best that your relationship is of a different nature than it actually is, at worst that the life you've chosen is really just a consolation prize because you 'failed' at finding a romantic/sexual partner) or pulling out a powerpoint and several webpages every time you want to explain it.

This what being aspec looks like for most people, and it is constantly minimised as being unimportant and not worth fighting against— even in aspec spaces— because we've all on some level absorbed the idea that oppression is only worth fighting against if it's big, and dramatic, and immediately obvious. That all the little incidents of suffering that we experience on a daily basis are not enough to be worth bothering about.

I mean, who gives a shit if you feel broken, inherently toxic as a partner, and like you're going to be denied happiness because of your orientation? Shouldn't we all just shut up and thank our lucky stars we don't have to deal with all the stuff some of the other letters in the acronym have to put up with (leaving aside the fact that there are many aspec people who identify with more than one letter)?

So you know what? If you're aspec and you relate to anything I've said above (or can think of other things relating your your aspec-ness that I haven't mentioned) then this is me telling you now that it's enough. Even if we got rid of all the big stuff (which we're unlikely to do any time soon because— Shock! Horror!— the big stuff is actually connected to all the small stuff) we would still be unable to consider our fight 'over' because what you are experiencing is not 'basically okay' and something we should just be expected to 'put up with'.

No matter what anybody tells you, we have the right to demand more from life than this.

watching supernatural with someone aside from yourself is always so treasured because i personally need at least one person to exchange delusions with… otherwise i become a dangerously ill echo chamber

Pack your bags lads were going to the empty

Honestly. He's better than a Tory.

Count Binface has launched his manifesto

Glad to see he's keeping his pledge to bring back Ceefax.

I like the fact that the two most well-known uses for lithium are treating people who are bipolar, and making batteries, which are also bipolar but in a completely different way.

IM SORRY BUT THOSE HANDS ARE SO WELL DONE!!!!! OH MY STARTS ITS BEAUTIFUL ART!!!!!!

The Fall (Part 1) - 2024

Inspired by the painting The Fall by Alan Stephens Foster. This one is called "Part 1" because I did two versions. As I couldn't decide which one to post, I'll post the two of them this week ("Part 2" will be uploaded this Saturday).

lets hear it for transgenderism and faggotry. can I get a round of applause for transgenderism and faggotry
