Cow Palace '85

The character:

It was real when y’all dressed up in cosplays, and made fan art, and went to conventions, and got to interact with your faves through their social platforms…but suddenly when bigotry is involved, it’s not that big of a deal.

Let me rephrase what y’all are trying to say: POC don’t get to have fandom. We don’t get to have media. That part of the real world is something we’re not allowed to touch. It’s the one space that discrimination and prejudice will always thrive, because you refuse to acknowledge the layers of racism for what they are.

Finally cleaning up my files a bit and decided to finish up this one that has been sitting around for a few months now. Turned it into a bit of a painting practice/modern art sort of deal whenever I cannot figure out what I want to do with the drawing. I added Snaggle recently as just to fill up space and hide my anatomy mistakes, the pose was taken from an old New Yorker magazine.

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.
