10 People You'd Like to Know Better

Last Song - Blind by Swans

Favourite colours - it's always been blue, but I almost exclusively wear black, white and red.

Watching - I'm not really a TV or series person, but the last thing I watched was Spectral Tranquility by the incredibly talented Kevin Casciani Nolan. I've also been trying to get my partner to watch Twin Peaks with me as they've never seen it and I'm down for my fourth watch through.

Currently Reading - A Fig for All the Devils by C.S Fritz & The Category of Sex (collection of essays) by Monique Wittig

Current Obsession - It sounds extremely silly, but Aquabeads. The little bead things made of PVA that stick together when you spray them with water. My professional and personal lives have been overwhelmingly stressful thus far this year and genuinely the only thing I've found that calms me down is slowly arranging these little beads. I've also been making portraits from buttons inspired by the work of Lisa Kokin, just for fun.

Currently Working On - various items for a show of traditional handwork this summer

Last Google Search - "Kim Fowley", I had forgotten when he passed and it came up in conversation today

Current Desktop/Phone Wallpaper - My laptop is just the default that it came with because I spend no time looking at it, and my phone background is Hangyodon as my whole phone is themed around him.

Last song - Walk Talk Madly by 54-40

Favourite colours- I like orange a lot. There's one specific shade of it that my friends have taken to calling Len Orange on account of how much I use it in art. Orange is a good colour with good associations. Solid as hell.

watching- watching RGU for the first time. Far too late for a self proclaimed anime and yuri enjoyer but it's very enjoyable so far. Shockingly good soundtrack also!

Currently reading- ... nothing?? Finished raising steam (discworld) recently. If webcomics count, I'm finishing off a Guilded Age reread. And making slow progress on a CRFH!!! Reread. At this point I think the strip'll be over before I finish it. I'm still on 2002.

Current obsession- I've been reworking designs for uhm. The next point, and it's so fun. I dress exactly the same as I did when I started work on these fuckers but I understand, like, the human body/xenobiology/alt fashion way more now and I DO feel like it's coming through.

Some of you (Cartridge fan discord folks + some friends) have seen the first page of it. I promise the fun aliens will come soon.

6. Well, uhm. That. Halfway through thumbnailing the SECOND PAAAGE!!!

7. 'hand holding gun'. Wanted a reference image for something also relating to that comic. Well, specifically its site but ykwim.

8. My phone wallpaper is a piece I drew to celebrate the end of the Sluggy Freelance chapter 'monstrous'. That was... last august?

I still like it quite a bit, even if I would've done it differently nowadays. The spot colour is fun.

1. Last Song - Negro y Azul: The Ballad of Heisenberg (this slaps so hard)

2. Favorite colors - I absolutely love any shade of blue! Jewel tone, powder blue, aquamarine, all of them. I really really like red too, especially in darker or richer tones!

(Btw I can agree, orange is a solid color)

3. Watching - The brittish tv show Spotless! Tbh I just started it bc I wanted to see Liam Garrigan being a slimy horrible type of guy, but it’s actually so good!! I wasn’t expecting it and by now I’m completely invested in the plot, love to hate the Divorce Brothers (btw one of them is the guy hiding the Jewish family in the beginning of Inglorious Basterds, he’s a great actor)

(RGU IS SO GOOD DUDE!!!! In which part are you?? I’ll rewatch it with a friend next week too)

4. Currently reading - “The black agent as a factor of the Brazilian modernization” by Roberto Conduru, currently as in ‘I’m on my 5 min break of reading it’. Really short article and really really worth the read!! It touches on how black people were important to the modernization of brazilian arts in the beginning of the 20th century, predating the Art History Cannon of the Exposition of 22 being the first glimmer of brazilian modern art.

5. Current obsession - I’m really into The Terror TV show rn!!! Been reading a bit about the real expedition too, watching some interviews and documentaries, and will soon start to read that book on human survival on extreme places, can’t really remember the name now. Would also really like to read the one about the letters!! May We Meet Again on Gods Land I think? I have it all written down, so no worries for me. This also entails me getting back to sewing historical clothes!! I got this gorgeous vest pattern from the 1850s and as soon as I have the right fabric I’ll start right away!

6. Currently working on - Reading the previously mentioned article and some illustrations! It’s been a while since I’ve finished something I’m truly proud of, so I hope these turn out well.

7. Last Google Search - “Algoze meaning”, which apparently means “executioner”, from the previously mentioned article, I do not know many words

8. Current desktop/phone wallpaper - My phone has the beautifully illustrated drawing of Herbert West by @jadenvargen as wallpaper and my desktop has the image of Gilbert Cocteau getting shot in the arm by an arrow, one of my favorite Gilbert illustrations by Keiko Takemiya!

1. Last Song - Brick Shithouse by Placebo. In context of Reanimator this is like Megan Halseys song to me.

2. Favourite colours - Many different purples.

3. Watching - The last thing I watched was season 2 of Fionna and Cake but I'm still trying to get through the last seasons of Babylon 5 and Stargate Sg1. I've been saying this for months.

4. Currently reading - Nothin

5. Current obsession - Replaying/finally trying to finish cyberpunk 2077 I guess that counts. The real obsession rn is like Farscape but I don't have clipstudio open and I'm not reading any fanfics (because I've read them all T.T) so it's on the back burner.

6. Currently working on - Nothing rn :( I'm in gaming mode so no drawing for now. I get hyper focused on one thing. I've been wanting to do a pinup nurse harvey though.

7. Last Google Search - I don't use google anymore. There's more than one search engine and yes I'm going to be annoying about it. Why don't you free yourself of google by changing to one of the picks here: X Go search up fandom stuff with marginalia you'll find some old asfuck forums it's neat. I Found someones website they made for a farscape con in the early 2000s from there.

8. Current desktop/phone wallpaper - On top of my phone I have three monitors.... ok so we got Scorpius... Scorpius...Cartoon Harvey experiencing major head trauma... Vala mal doran (that one scene of her lounging on a pile of gold)

1. Last Song - I'm Not in Love by Talking Heads, I'm in the middle of a listen of More Song About Buildings and Foods right now ^^

2. Favorite Colors - Green and Orange !

3. Watching - My last movie was Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

4. Currently Reading - Nothing currently...

5. Current Obsession - Jaws. It's all I've been thinking about since January 💔 Also I just saw the movie Miracle Mile (1988) yesterday and I already need to see it again. Sometimes I see a film and it literally feels like they scanned my brain to make it because it's just so perfectly suited to my tastes. Also Heartbeat City by The Cars

6. Currently Working On - Letterboxd lists and movie spreadsheets

7. Last Google Search - The IMDB page for Miracle Mile (1988) to look at the trivia....

8. Current Desktop / Phone Wallpaper - My laptop background is currently Howard Bannister from What's Up, Doc? (1972) crawling around on the floor of his hotel room, and my phone wallpaper is a collage made by friends ^^

This was our home… now it’s gone

🇵🇸 save family lost their home ,dreams and everything in Gaza 🇵🇸

This is my home before the war and after the war how it became💔💔💔

Before: After:

💔 I never thought I’d write something like this… But we’ve truly lost everything.

We had a simple home — nothing fancy — but it was ours. Filled with laughter, memories, and years of hard work. Then, in one moment, it was all gone. Our home was bombed. Reduced to rubble.

Since then, we’ve been moving from place to place. No stability. No privacy. No safety. Just trying to survive each day.

We also lost our jobs. Our source of income. Our sense of normal life. We’re not living — we’re barely getting by.

This isn’t easy to share. But we’re asking, with all humility, for your help.

We are asking you with all shame to support and stand by us in these difficult circumstances that everyone knows because we lost our home, our work and any stable source of income. Thank you all.

We have been through many wars before, but this war was not like the ones before it. Our lives were turned upside down. We became displaced from one place to another. We are the Anas family, residents of northern Gaza, specifically in the Shujaiya area. In the first week of the war, we fled our home because everyone considered our home to be in a dangerous area. We moved to the Rimal area, specifically in the middle of Gaza. There, we received the news that our home, which contained all our beautiful memories, was bombed. Suddenly, it was gone!!! Just thinking that your home, which you worked hard on and built from scratch and took a lot of your life, was gone in less than a second ! After a while, we left the sands to the Al-Zawaida area because of the heavy shelling. We stayed there for about two weeks, and then the terrorist army asked us to go to Rafah. We actually fled for the fourth time to Rafah and stayed there for two months, some of the most difficult days of our lives, as there was no way or means to live a normal life. 😔😔

Humanstuck AU (7/12): Feferi Peixes

Humanstuck Lore: I thought about making Feferi the popular "Queen Bee" archetype or a beach-obsessed "VSCO Girl." Both would make sense for her aquatic theme and social status within Homestuck. But my goal with this project is less about "making the Trolls human" and more about recontextualizing individual personalities.

My Feferi is a tarot-reading, crystal-loving, astrology girly. Somewhere between Manic Pixie and Art Hippie. She is a bit of a social chameleon, applying 100% of herself to whatever she does. A CPR-certified babysitter with glowing parental recommendations, who parties harder than anyone else at the function. (𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘻𝘦𝘦.)

I've always headcanoned the Peixes as African American. It makes The Condesce's weird urban slang feel slightly less... idk... minstrel-y? Plus, with Meenah knowing how to braid, to me it makes sense to draw Human Feferi as Black.

Like Eridan, Feferi comes from an upper-class background. She's 𝘙𝘐𝘊𝘏-rich but doesn’t talk about her family's wealth. Her parents are strict, Catholic, and conservative. Her free-spirited personality, reckless abandon, and abstract spiritualism are a direct response to the strict, controlling upbringing.

Fef is a ride-or-die kind of friend. Opinionated, overprotective, and aggressively supportive. She's nice to everybody and will put up with a lot of personal abuse. But the moment you're an asshole to someone she cares about, it's on sight. She does a lot of activism and volunteer work—in part due to her empathic nature, but also because of her "Rich Gill-t." (Get it!? '𝙂𝙞𝙡𝙡-' like a fish!!! ☝️🥴 🐠)

She started dating Eridan at 13 and spent the next five years waiting for him to come out as gay. Eridan's always been a bit elitist, but when he began making passive-aggressive comments about her race and body, a scrawny computer nerd came in to deck his ass. Long story short, Fef is happily dating Sollux, and now Eridan is an incel...

1) Misusing the term 'proship'

Most fans will use this term to refer to ships like UsUk. Now, I don't like UsUk, and I agree that the ship is a little bit weird, but it is in no way a proship. They are not biologically related and they hardly refer to each other as brothers when they are adults. They don't even really treat each other like family as adults. A real 'proship' would be something like Itacest, where they actually are related. But some Hetalia fans are trying to force their own moral compass onto other people. Just because you think that UsUk is bad and immoral doesn't mean that everyone else has to agree with you. If you think it's a proship, fine. But that doesn't mean you should argue with other fans about it. Just block a person if they ship something you don't like, or have an opinion you don't like. There shouldn't be any harassment or bullying just because someone has an opinion. If someone doesn't agree with me on this, you can block me if you want. I understand because not everyone has to agree with me.

2) Getting overoffended over jokes

Yes, some jokes in both the anime and manga were in extremely poor taste. I won't argue with that. But if you feel the need to make a post complaining about the offensive jokes, then you're in the wrong fandom. Hetalia has always been controversial and offensive to an extent. And the fact that people still complain about it is just crazy. Complain about it to your friends. Not to the entire internet. Or don't complain about it at all. You shouldn't be in a fandom that is notoriously controversial if you're going to get upset at small things like this. And the anime is literally called Hetalia: Axis Powers, did they think it was about world peace or something?

3) Getting offended by someone portraying history accurately

I have literally seen people get offended at people portraying Germany or Prussia etc as a Nazi. They canonically were Nazis. They were canonically Wehrmacht officers. Fans have literally harassed other people and told them to leave the fandom for portraying the characters like that. I don't even know how this is serious. The series majorly takes place during World War II, why would these characters not be Nazis? Maybe they don't agree with everything, like all the ideals, but still in Germany, basically everyone was brainwashed into believing in Nazi beliefs, at least to an extent. Maybe Germany and Prussia didn't believe in it fully, but they would have been influenced at least a little bit. Also, both Germany and Prussia wear an iron cross, which is a Nazi symbol, do people forget that? There are also swastikas shown in the manga. It seems like people are just trying to erase the fact they were literally bad people with bad beliefs. Yes, they have changed, but you can't just ignore this fact.

4) People are wat too influenced by the fandom instead of the actual source content

This goes a long with all of my points before. Do people even watch the anime or read the manga? Why are people getting so offended by things that have been obvious since the beginning? A lot of the fandom tries to ignore some of the 'offensive' stuff, which makes some people forget that the series isn't all happiness and rainbows. It's not perfect. There are bad parts to it. It's ok to like and enjoy a fandom that is a little bit offensive.

5) Shipping

Fans will literally get mad at you if you don't ship only GerIta, FrUk, and/or AmePan. They always have something to complain about and are rude to people because of their ships. I ship basically everything that is legal. But people are so passive aggressive when you say that. I've seen videos of people making edits of rarepairs they like and people will comment 'I don't ship this, but it's cute'... You don't need to comment that you don't ship it. It sounds backhanded. Just say you like the edit and move on. People are also so aggressive toward RusAme shippers. A popular ship. It's okay if you don't like it, but why are you complaining about it in the comments of a sweet edit? Just ignore or block. This applies to characters too. I'll make a video saying I like a character and I'll get comments saying 'I am (character)'s number one hater'.. Okay? I don't care. Keep that to yourself. You don't have to like the characters I like, but why are you commenting it like you're better than me because you don't like them? I will never understand this. People could make beautiful fanart of a ship they like and people will hate in the comments, especially UsUk. I don't like UsUk, but some of the fanart is actually amazing. Why can't people appreciate that?

I'm not sure if all of this is clear or not, but this is just how I feel about the fandom now. I actually hate interacting with people in the fandom because so so so many people act like this... No one has to agree with me because I wouldn't force my opinions onto someone else if they don't like it.

flower field

canonically they would probably hate each other

There’s a strange thing about memories—sometimes, they feel like the only thing we have left. I close my eyes, and I can still see my family sitting around the dinner table, laughing at a joke my uncle made. I can still hear my mother calling me to come inside before it gets too late. I can still feel the warm sun on my face as I walked home from school, thinking about my next big dream.

Now, those moments feel like they belong to another life. The streets aren’t the same. The people aren’t the same. And I—I don’t know if I’m the same either. But I hold onto those memories so tightly because they remind me of who I am, of the love I’ve known, of the warmth that still exists somewhere in this world.

If you’re reading this, take a moment to appreciate the little things. Hug your family. Send a message to an old friend. Step outside and take a deep breath of fresh air. 🌿 These are the moments that matter. These are the things that make life beautiful.

No matter where life takes me, I’ll never stop cherishing the love that shaped me. And I hope, wherever you are, you never stop appreciating the love around you too. 💙

The parallers between them. Johns guardian leaving notes around the house, collecting Harlequin dolls that John hates, pranking him with cakes etc. Daves guardian leaving notes around the house, his obsession with puppets that he leaves around the apartment that Dave hates, "pranking" him in many many ways.

Both of them having warped views of their parents, with John being unnecessarily negative towards his dad and Dave being naively positive towards his brother

I can't help but feel like there would be a bit of resentment and jealousy there. John, considering his annoyance with his dad, could've been envious of Daves more "free" upbringing, despite finding his bros antics weird and goofy. Daves subconscious envy of John manifesting in him wanting to impress him, wanting to make his situation seem cool and desirable to his friends in order to validate his denial. Bro being weird slash neglectful slash downright abusive? Dave will tell his best friend all about it later, make him jealous. Johns dad is lame and annoying while Dave has the coolest brother in America. John says doesn't find it cool? No way. He's just jealous, he doesn't get it.

My name is Naser, and my life has been forever changed by war. I lost my beloved mother and sister in an attack that shattered my world. Our home—once a place of love, safety, and warmth—was completely destroyed, leaving us with nothing.

Since then, my three younger brothers and I have been forced to flee, displaced twice, constantly searching for safety and stability. War has taken so much from us, but I refuse to let it take away our dreams.

I dream of going to university, of getting an education, of standing on my own two feet and building a future where I can support my family. My brothers have dreams too—one wants to become a doctor, another an engineer, and the youngest just wants a normal childhood, something that war has stolen from him.

Right now, we are starting from nothing—no home, no resources, and an uncertain future. But what we do have is hope. Hope that there are kindhearted people in the world who will stand with us in our time of need.
