Context for these drawings is I got a little tilted on 3 star Reinbo because the Furies kept protecting the mcblasts like the entire world depended on it: so i drew ship art of them in my rage but lowk its kinda cute in actuality... so i ended up making 4 of these

yes they sang the song together after this trust

I understand, through my lived womanhood, that they believe women are angry when they disagree, because there is the deeply rooted belief that women are meek and soft and unchallenging. That sometimes women make themselves that way because it’s simply less exhausting and will make things move along more smoothly if they just ignore it. I understand that women can’t ignore the abuse forever and so, when it finally must come forth, it comes forth with fury unlike any that Hell could hope to muster. A fury that could’ve won the war in heaven. And so it is mythologized in saying and jeered at on the stage. Mocked. Made to sound like if they show it some pity-respect, if they pretend they are calm and “chill” that it washes away what they do to me. Make the monster of the scary bedtime story small and it won’t hurt you.

But I am not small. I was never taught to be small. Not by my parents and not by the world around me. I was a boy once, and boys are taught to be strong and to fight for what they believe in by the patriarchy, by the classroom, by the stories and mythologies of heroes. I do not know how to live and be small. I do not want to know that part of womanhood. That part is something the patriarchy said has to be part of womanhood. It is afraid of me because I lack the leash they hoped I’d put on myself like a good girl. It is afraid of me because of what is absent from me. It is afraid that I have no womb to bleed from in agony and use to dismiss my rage. It is afraid that I grew up as headstrong and righteous as its strongest men and then I tell the truth to the world that I still feel what women feel. I feel what men do to us. Because then the truth is that society cannot tell me what I or any of us should feel. It cannot tell us what women feel. The truth is that I learned womanhood from the way women loved me and the way men hated me; they hated and hated and hated me so deeply there are no words to describe how small and deranged they would become just for a drop of my blood. Women loved me. They listened to me and I listened to them and I loved them back as we embraced and saw that we felt the same terrible rage. We felt the same bittersweet love.

I know I am a woman because as women watched how I was treated, they called me daughter, sister, mother, and they loved me as their own. I know I am a woman because of how womanhood embraced me again and again, like baptism-by-sunrise, like moonlight that pulls on the heart.

hi folks!! i recently came onboard to help host a mostly completed, multi-animator project for Kirby OCs!!

i'm trying to push this project over the finish line for all the amazing artists who are already participating, and we're really close!! but we still need a few last minute slots filled to complete the animation!

the song we're using is someone to you by banners, and this video outlines the parts with numbers (please ignore that it says all parts are taken on youtube, this is currently inaccurate but it's not my video so i can't change it!).

there is no skill cap and this project is open to newcomers! most available sections are ten seconds or less, and our hopeful deadline is six weeks (November 16). there's no overarching story and you can animate any scene you can imagine, providing it's focused on kirby OCs!

if you're at all interested (or know someone who might be), or want to see the available sections, please fill out the form here or help me get the word out!! everyone has worked so hard and i'd really love to see this project through!! 💖💖💖

Spanish version below.

Finally I dare to launch this comic that I had been going around in my head for quite some time.

Yes, I took some elements of the canon from Kirby's games, but I must clarify that I took certain creative liberties.

And I must clarify that although the comic is in english I am not a speaker of this language, so if there are errors in the grammar I would appreciate your understanding.

When I upload the next parts of the comic I will update this post to show the next parts right here.

Y por supuesto, una versión en español, que técnicamente sería la versión original porque es mi idioma nativo. Jaja.

Y si, esto es meramente el prólogo, este cómic tendrá más partes, pero eso no va a pasar por un rato.
