Almost forgot to post it here, witch hat atelier x bannerfall crossover because it made sense in my mind so much and I'm very much not over bannerfall yet.

Not 100% happy with it but I think its good my brain is just telling me its bad so I think I've hit art block so I need to fight my brain on it.

Also since I spent so much time on the lineart, bonus without color so its visible:

Timelapse under the cut <3

It took me 3 days to make this because I was sobbing mid way through many times and small fragile heart did not help when I was listening to music.

This is a combo of 2 things I saw 1 was a combination of 2 screens screenshot of nom and the other is a twt I saw so yeah :) pretty painful brick.

This is the screenshot in question btw I just took my twist of the moment

I like to imagine that since BF Nom knew he was never going to make it out alive, when he was planning what things to give to each person in his life, he spent an extra amount of time trying to scrub his mace clean because he knew it would become 4C's. Despite the creaking ache in his bones, restricting every movement he has, he scrubs away at it obsessively, not only so the mace can have a fresh start with it's new handler, but also, because he'll never be able to unsee 4Cs slime and the 15 knights' blood on it, a permanent stain on his mind. He's also scrubbing it from the guilt and fear of 4C being reminded and seeing the invisible remnants of 2 of the darkest days of his life :3

The correct way to open an Easter Egg: Nom edition

At a barbecue with Nom: We grill Nominalgravy

Turning Nom into flour: We mill Nominalgravy

Charging Nom money: We bill Nominalgravy

Nom in the ocean: We krill Nominalgravy

Farming with Nom: We till Nominalgravy

Putting Nom in a fridge: We chill Nominalgravy

Take this with a grain of salt as I don't know much about Spidey apart from the issues mentioned in the Twitter posts, it just annoys me so much that the internet behaves in a very, you must pick a side, mindset

Nuance exists however, the issue with not speaking up about something or attempting to be 'a-political' as a streamer is that you begin to foster a community that is no longer a safe space. Examples of this would be Skizz last year with homophobic mods and having accidentally grown a community of anti-LGBTQ+ people simply because he failed to speak up about queer issues and wanted to keep streams neutral. This caused a large issue because his streams, videos and community were no longer a safe space for people as they would get openly harassed for simply being themselves, including Skizz' friends as well as quite a few of the people within his circle are LGBTQ+ and the way his comments would talk about them was astounding to read, knowing that was allowed to foster within his community.

With the current Spidey and Flight SMP situation I don't think nuance can be applied at all. This is a current ongoing genocide of Ukrainian people. There ARE sides you have to pick. And if you're trying to remain a-political on a literal genocide then that's insane to me especially if you have a responsibility as a Russian streamer, who has the luxury to not live in Russia, to be able to speak out in defence of Ukraine.

Ignorance is common, wilful ignorance too, I understand wanting to protect your own thoughts and feelings, but the only thing I will say here is just try to imagine what it's like being in the shoes of a Ukrainian person right now. They have been fighting for themselves, their country, to simply be allowed to exist for centuries, this genocide is not new. And when you have someone who is using dog-whistle terminology; ignorantly forgetting Ukrainian heritage; taking cutesy photos outside of Russian landmarks when people are out fighting in an active warzone BECAUSE of that country, then yes, you DO look like you support the war. I understand visiting family, and I understand WHY she went. But you do have to look at what this all looks like to the current victims of war, refugees who CAN'T go home, who CAN'T see their families, have LOST their families, to the bloodshed caused by this genocide.

Ukrainian people have been asking Spidey to make a statement on this for a very long time, quite a few months, and the fact it took her so long to do so, (and she barely addressed any of the concerns actually held and did not even have the bare minimum decency to include links to how to support Ukraine, news and side effects of the genocide, etc) is disgusting in my opinion.

And back to the point about trying to be a-political only festers the wrong types of people, we witnessed that first hand once again with this Spidey situation. Ukrainian people speaking out were called stalkers and harassers, mocked, bullied, called slurs by OTHER STREAMERS AND CONTENT CREATORS, were told 'they deserve the worst'. Can you imagine telling a victim of WAR and GENOCIDE they deserve the worst? That's something I physically read on Sunday. I was fucking disgusted. People seem to have forgotten that this genocide is not just a 'news headline', it's a real fucking war, and people are dying, losing their homes, their livelihoods, their means to survive.

A lot of people showed that they truly didn't understand fundamentally WHAT was happening, WHY it was happening and HOW LONG it's been happening.

I'm sorry if you thought I'd agree with you on this but I heavily do not. The Spidey situation is something you really need to read up on and listen and uplift Ukrainian voices about because they deserve to be listened to when it comes to their concerns, fears and their comfort within the community.

There's no middle ground when it comes to people's lives. And as a streamer you ARE responsible for the community you create, and if you fail to speak up in defence of people, attempt to remain a-political or politically neutral, then you actively allow hostility, ignorance and disgusting people the freedom to feel as though your community has a place for them, and that they can do whatever they want, including what they say to vulnerable people and minorities within your community.

Similarly, if I have made ANY mistakes, especially regarding my knowledge of the Russian war on Ukraine and the genocide of their people, please let me know, I would hate to have false information in my posts and would like to ensure I'm not speaking over Ukrainian voices.

HOW TO SUPPORT UKRAINE.

I don't understand people who want a streamer to talk about thing they don't want to talk. Sure i may understand why some people want to know other people's political position but at the same time you need to remember that there're people who watch those streams to FORGET about what's happening in the real world. Also i know the whole situation between Russia and Ukraine but right now asking a person to choose a side between those? Like maybe some Ukrainian people are fine with hating russians and same goes with people who don't really knows what's happening but a lot of russians have family members in Ukraine and they don't want them hurt. There're a lot of people who open the internet and watch streams to forget the horror of the real world and asking the opinion is basically bringing trauma to those people.

I understand streamers do not want to have to talk about things but that is the unfortunate downside to politics. When you have a platform, being able to use it for good is the best thing you can do.

Nobody is saying she also has to constantly make statements on stream, which is where people go for escapism. Also, plenty of streamers manage to talk about serious topics whilst also providing entertaining content for people and educate their audiences, for example during the recent international women's month celebration, a lot of the community was called out for their internal misogyny and numerous streamers went out of their way to make statements both on their social media platforms and/or on their streams.

Also yes. I would ask someone to choose a side between an oppressor and the oppressed. I am sorry if that sounds harsh to you but the Russian war on Ukraine has been ongoing for centuries and has included the brutalisation, murder, and rape of Ukrainian people, holding them hostage, stripping them of their culture and nationality, taking their land, blocking aid, resources and allies, the list is genuinely endless.

I understand visiting a family member who's sick and potentially dying. The issue with her visiting is her taking photos around landmarks of Russia's capital city and posting them with cutesy captions as though they aren't currently committing genocide and war crimes and the unfortunate then side effect of money spent being used to fund the war, which is an unavoidable consequence, but the advertising of Russia as though it isn't currently a country committing mass genocide and war crimes is a very large issue, especially when pooled together with other issues in the original document including dog-whistle language to describe the genocide and being ignorant of Ukrainian citizens and cultural icon's heritages and proclaiming them as Russians. Though as i previously stated, visiting a sick family member is understandable, but also posting photos like that which are especially tone deaf when you recognise how many Ukrainian citizens are no longer ABLE to return home, they CANT go see their family is appalling.

Yes, some Russians have family members in Ukraine but I do not see how this is relevant at all to the current conversation at hand involving Spidey's statement, her previous lack of a concrete stance on the war, and then the subsequent bullying, humiliation and abuse her fanbase and friends threw at Ukrainian fans.

The Russian war on Ukraine has been going on for centuries, longer than Spidey has been alive. The recent escalated conflict first started in 2022. Forgive me for thinking 4 years is more than long enough to at least make more than 1 statement on your alt account, especially when people have been begging you to clarify your stance for months. (Maybe even years, I'm unfortunately not educated enough to know exactly how long people have been asking her to speak out and clarify her stance as I am not involved in any of the SMPs Spidey has participated in and do not have close ties to her community. From my current knowledge, Ukrainians have been asking since she posted the photos of her in Moscow.)

Streamers ARE a form of escapism, but if you don't speak up, like what happened with Spidey, like what happened with Skizz, you end up fostering a hateful space, and what happens then to Ukrainian viewers who ALSO want to watch streamers and interact with content as a form of escapism when they have to either be faced with mocking, slurs, hatred, and abuse from other viewers and streamers, or they have to watch someone who has failed to clarify whether they even understand what is happening to your people, your country, your family and continuously failed to do so for years.

I'm sorry but making a clarifying tweet or having a small section of a stream dedicated to discussing what's happening and your stance on it is not 'traumatising' people. It's trying to use your platform to spread awareness. Once again I'll refer back to the recent misogyny issue in the MCYT space, many streamers dedicated an hour of their stream to discuss these topics, what they want to do to better themselves, how viewers can also better themselves and how as a community we can tackle misogyny in the mcyt space. It is up to the VIEWER to decide whether they want to watch that. If a viewer clicks on a stream and sees they are currently discussing something serious, they have the ability and free will to click off for a while, there will be other people or content to watch whilst they wait out 'political' topics.

Thank you again for your reply, but I still stand by what I said, and I'm sorry we don't see eye to eye on this. I hope you are safe though living close to the war.

I've included a few more links below here for Ukrainian aid and resources:

Supporting Aid Donations for the Ukrainian War | Macclesfield Ukrainian Aid

Ukraine Humanitarian Donation | Ukrainian Action

Crimea was given to Ukrainian SSR from RSFSR back when they were still in a single country USSR.

So the whole conflict is only like 12 years old and it's not centuries. Ukraine and Russia were friendly to each other before all that. And seeing this war going on hurting many people. There's a lot of Ukrainians who ran to Russia for a shelter and they've been given one.

Unfortunately there's still enough people who wants the war who are mentally unstable but that's not everyone else's fault.

Also let's please not act like Ukraine is the only one who is getting damaged. This is the war. The governments are having fun and there are consequences for both sides. Yes for Ukraine it's much more noticeable because it's a much smaller country but there are a lot of russian territories that got destroyed in this war. Mostly it's been the territories near the border with Ukraine but drones can fly far...

Just to clarify i don't support this whole war but I'm not giving any donation to either side(mainly because i physically can't. I'm broke af)

I don't know about the whole bullying and humiliation thing from Spidey. I don't watch her that often so i can't speak about that.

Again. I'm not here to discriminate against anyone. I personally love Ukraine and always wanted to visit this amazing country. I even tried learning the language but didn't have much time.

List of wars between Russia and Ukraine - Wikipedia

^ A list of wars that demonstrate no, Ukraine and Russia have not been friendly to each other before 2014, and in fact they tried numerous times to fight for independence from the Russian Empire before the USSR was formed. I would not describe this as 'Civil' and 'Friendly'. This list dates back hundreds of years, ergo, Centuries.

The Soviet Era: Ukraine's Path within the USSR

This is also a wonderful article that details how Ukraine joined the USSR to begin with and goes further into detail about how Ukrainians were treated under the USSR. Plus, 'being friendly' is not what I would describe as how Ukrainians were treated under the rule of the USSR. Especially not when you look into the 'All-Russian nation' regime, which was an ideology that aimed to control other countries (Ukraine and Belarus predominantly) with the belief that they were 'tainted' Russian souls. This ideology is also what is used even nowadays to diminish Ukrainian heritage and 'adopt' these people as Russians as a way to remove cultural significance from Ukrainians. This is something Spidey was called out for in the document as she would refer to Ukrainian figures such as singers as Russians when they are not.

2014 Russian annexation of Crimea - Wikipedia

Russia invaded Crimea and installed new governments before the referendum to 'join Russia' even happened. In my opinion, this means you cannot claim Crimea 'willingly' joined Russia considering they were invaded and annexed an entire month before this 'referendum' took place, and had their own government dissolved entirely to be replaced.
