She, she, she comes over me I knew half as much as she does She wants to be, my anything, my everything Really who am I to judge, to judge, to JUDGE?

there's a lot to say about this piece. i'll try to keep it short. i started it back in december, i think? and have been working on it bit by bit since then. it originally started off as a vent piece. it still is, sort of. i think. but the emotions are all over the place. as have i been these past few months. i had a hard time picking out a caption too, since my ideas for that have changed many times.

something about wanting to be pure. but knowing youre not, no matter how hard you try. youre tainted somehow, even if you cant see it. poor thing. youll never be free.

anyways, the feathers werent done by hand. i used a brush i found on clip studio, it's titled "天使の翼ブラシセット" i think. it feels like cheating to use it tbh... but it really brought the piece together so. whatever, we all know im not a real artist anyways lol.

below are two other versions of the art. the flat colors and a version similar to the final one but without the feathers brush. enjoy.

"it's okay, i can peel back the layers of you until i find the soft and gentle core of you you've had to work so hard to hide"? no. no, it's okay, i know you're hollow; i'm here anyway. you don't have to pretend it isn't masks the whole way down. whatever face you want to wear, i still love you. i don't need you to be good or unflinching or the antonym of violence. if i did, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't ask that of you.

this is cuntwrenching news. its cliterally unbelievable

been thinking about fantasy/scifi rule systems and free will

the most #UselessLesbian thing i have ever done was when i was trying to figure out if this girl liked me or not, just constantly arguing with myself about it, and after a couple, uh, months, of this, i was like, “god i wish i could just like… go to court and lay out all this evidence and have a couple lawyers argue over the TRUE MEANING of her text messages, and then a judge tells me if she likes me or not.” and then the proverbial lightbulb went off over my proverbial head, and i dug into my mock trial folder from high school and found the trial guidelines and i wrote out an entire trial transcript featuring a plaintiff (me), my attorney (my wildest hopes and dreams), a defense attorney (my worst fears and insecurities), and a judge (my desperate attempt at rationality). the final product was several thousand words long. it clarified nothing. at any point in this process did it occur to me to ask her how she felt about me? absolutely not. did i ever stop and think, “hey, maybe i should tell her that i like her?” absolutely not. that’s for people who take risks and i don’t take risks i take myself to court in my own head.

i literally have so many art pieces that need finishing as well as ideas i could be starting on but i couldnt rest peacefully until i did this. my top two comfort characters of all time. i love them/

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

it's feminism and gay rights to have an m/m/f pairing because women deserve to have two boyfriends and guys should have gay sex with each other

Eye on Palestine (suspended on Instagram 10/25/2023)

I wish my hands didn't stain everything they touch,

I was born guilty, and have carried that guilt through my life.

I am a sinner cursed to love a saint.

I cannot hold you without your wings being crushed beneath the weight of my sins.

I am an ugly thing,

Unlovable some may say.

You hold my face in the palms of your hands, wiping my tears.

I feel the light of your goodness shine through my cloud of hate and pain. I love you, undeserving as I am.

TUMBLR USER - “You know, you can just rotate a cow in your mind if you want. It’s free and the cops can’t stop you.”

AUTHORITY - What did he say? You can’t stop him? Oh, he’s got another think coming.

CONCEPTUALIZATION - What an intriguing idea, though! Maybe you should let him get away with it…

“As an officer of the law, I demand that you cease rotating the cow.”

“Whoa, cool! I want to try.”

THOUGHT GAINED: Rotating Cow

(if pursued the rotating cow thought adds an animated rotating cow to the corner of your screen. the cow does nothing and cannot be dismissed, since the cops can’t stop you.)
