waaaaaa 😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞💞

Kaladin and Syl dancing! The amount of Joy I felt while drawing these two is actually indescribable. I love them both so much! ❤️

The old “Thought of you” animation was a huge inspiration.

people girls we can do all these things 🥺

Sometimes, I want to be a robot girl. Outside of the context of kink, I mean, which is what I largely see on this site. I mean the kinky stuff, too, but just what the ramifications of being a machine could be intrigue me a lot.

Robot girl who can temporarily disable emotions that aren't useful or socially appropriate.

Robot girl who can power off when she's overwhelmed.

Robot girl who can patch her missing knowledge about social situations and rules.

Robot girl who can change her body at will.

Robot girl who shows you her operating system because she wants you to know her. Really, really, know her.

Robot girl connected to a whole network of other robot girls so that she never feels alone.

I just want to be robot girl.

I feel a deep kinship with these wretched creatures

“Here’s the deal. The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed — to be seen, heard and companioned exactly as it is. When we make that kind of deep bow to the soul of a suffering person, our respect reinforces the soul’s healing resources, the only resources that can help the sufferer make it through. Aye, there’s the rub. Many of us “helper” types are as much or more concerned with being seen as good helpers as we are with serving the soul-deep needs of the person who needs help. Witnessing and companioning take time and patience, which we often lack — especially when we’re in the presence of suffering so painful we can barely stand to be there, as if we were in danger of catching a contagious disease. We want to apply our “fix,” then cut and run, figuring we’ve done the best we can to “save” the other person.”

lately ive been imagining bright strobing lights and demonic thoughtforms 24/7 in order to make my psychoscape uninhabitable for any malicious telepaths trying to gain access

Ppl don't talk about baeddelism as political lesbian inspired transfeminism enough anymore or how awesome that was. Boo hoo "they were a friend group that broke up 10 years ago drop talking about it" well I think they had some good ideas. I think they had some relevant ideas. I think I'd prefer their brand of intersectional radical transfeminism to the dominant milquetoast regressive takes on this site that have mostly attempted to placate men? It's so dire and I don't think it's actually the right move to just toss out a really interesting political moment in our recent history just because it's levied against us without context

regret to inform that i am suited to a lover who seeks beauty over good, as i am soft and not tough, brought up not in the full light of the sun but in a dappled shade, unversed in manly exertions and harsh, sweated labour but fully versed in a soft and effeminate way of life, decking myself out in borrowed colours and ornaments for lack of my own, and have resorted to all the other practices that go along with these. in war my body gives heart to the enemy and ill even cry really pretty if you make me take the whole thing.

Distinguishing characters through fashion: how Sailor Moon does it right.

OKAY, so I was wondering whether I could find some place that posted Sailor Moon screencaps or turnaround sheets so I could write about how it handles fashion, and it turns out there’s a website for exactly that. Tagged by character and everything. Perfect.

So let’s continue our discussion about fashion as character design! Here’s a narrative that has to balance a large, female-heavy cast and make sure they are identifiable at all times, especially since they aren’t in their trademark color-coded uniforms most of the time. How does Sailor Moon tackle fashion and make it work in service of their characters?

What’s particularly impressive is that the superheroes’ civilian clothes aren’t limited to a single color, the way you might see in, say, Power Rangers. (Could you imagine wearing yellow outfits every day for the rest of your life just because you’re the Yellow Ranger? Blugh.) Instead, Sailor Scouts are recognizable in their civilian clothes because each one has a distinct silhouette, style, and palette.

Sailor Moon’s civilian wear, for example, is overly childish and girly. She wears ribbons, bows, and overalls. Her clothes have cartoon mascots on them, particularly bunnies (a pun on her Japanese name, Usagi, which means “rabbit.”)They match her ditzy, immature personality.

Mercury’s modest skirts and pastel cardigans match her quiet, straight-laced character, while Mars wears shorter, sleeker, more ladylike outfits that reflects her more sassy (and bossy) personality. Venus is all about bright colors and loose, sporty dresses ‘cause she’s got such a peppy, can-do attitude.

Jupiter is easy to distinguish from the others just by being taller and more physically imposing. I love the way they handle Jupiter’s style because she’s portrayed as a gentle, feminine girl who is still undeniably “the muscle” of the group. Her clothes are girly (frills! pencil skirts!) but they’re cut to accentuate her fuller figure and keep her looking large and powerful. I love that.

A lot of the characters’ fashions work well in pairs to contrast and work off of each other. Mini-Moon’s pink, blue, and candy-stripe-red palette doesn’t pop quite so much until she’s juxtaposed with her friend Hotaru, who dresses in black and dull monochromes. What’s more, as their friendship grows, you can see Hotaru start accenting her dark outfits with a single bright color.

And, of course, Uranus and Neptune’s amazing butch/femme combo.

Look at those classy broads.
