That is the most relatable thing I’ve seen all day! I think...
when i draw facial expressions
I had to! So glad someone decided to do him justice, Also he finally gives Vriska a piece of his mind and then finally ignoring her is
also, i really like a panel where his mohawk kinda fell on his face a little, it suits him!
⨀ fanart of Disco Elysium. I haven't actually played the game, but I fell into an AO3 rabbit hole I'm not sure I will climb out of anytime soon. I really like their dynamic, though I might be saying that because they remind me of some kind of reverse teaholding, lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
◈ also, could you tell how this practice piece ran away from me? it was supposed to be a sketch, how did it end up like this. It was supposed to be a sketch, it was supposed to be a sketch!!
🧿After being stuck in an almost 4-year long art block, I'm attempting the challenge of illustrating 100 of my favorite Vocaloid songs to break said block. I was heavily inspired by the wonderful Taranto Yakima , as she illustrated 100 of her favorite Miku songs and not only succeded, but she is now doing bonus illustrations! such tenacity!
🧿 Owata-p! One of the biggest Vocaloid veterans! With an unexpected addition to his benzene series! always assumed that the series had come to an end with toluene, and yet here we are. I know, it doesn't look like an addition to that series but every part of the series shows a little blurb in the video explaining how the chemical is related to the benzene chemical compound, and so does this one. The Benzene series has always meant a lot to me when it comes to really teaching myself self-examination and reflection. This one is no different, it feels like it's more pointed to the more recent state of affairs caused by the online space. The sugar-coating and escapism that is caused by the internet to avoid how bad things are becoming today. It is understandable, yet the song points out that it could become a self-fulfilling cycle if this continues without examination and efforts to fix it!
◈(1/100) complete!!◈
finally! someone representing Muslim culture right! even though I’m not “muhajabah” (they say hijabis in the states?) this is very accurate and it needs to spread!
more on writing muslim characters from a hijabi muslim girl
- hijabis get really excited over pretty scarves - they also like to collect pins and brooches - we get asked a lot of questions and it can be annoying or it can be amusing, just depends on our mood and personality and how the question is phrased - common questions include: - “not even water?” (referring to fasting) - hijabis hear a lot of “do you sleep in that?” (we don’t) and “where is your hair?” (in a bun or a braid, usually) - “is it mooze-slim or mozzlem?” (the answer is neither, it’s muslim, with a soft s and accent on the first syllable) - “ee-slam or iz-lamb?” (it’s iss-laam, accent on the first syllable) - “hee-job?” (heh-jahb, accent on the second syllable)
- “kor-an?” (no. quran. say it like koor-annn, accent on the second syllable) - people tend to mess up our names really badly and you just get a sigh and a resigned nod or an awkward smile, maybe a nickname instead - long hair is easy to hide, short hair is harder to wrap up - hijab isn’t just covering hair, it’s also showing as little skin as possible with the exception of face, hands, and feet, and not wearing tight/sheer clothing - that applies to men too, people just don’t like to mention it ( i wonder why) - henna/mehendi isn’t just for special occasions, you’ll see people wearing it for fun - henna/mehendi isn’t just for muslims, either, it’s not a religious thing - henna/mehendi is not just for women, men also wear it, especially on their weddings - there are big mehendi parties in the couple of nights before eid where people (usually just women and kids) gather and do each other’s mehendi, usually just hands and feet - five daily prayers - most muslim kids can stutter through a couple verses of quran in the original arabic text by the age of seven or eight, it does not matter where they live or where they’re from or what language they speak natively - muslim families tend to have multiple copies of the quran - there are no “versions” of the quran, there has only ever been one. all muslims follow the exact same book - muslims have no concept of taking God’s name in vain, we call on God at every little inconvenience - don’t use islamic phrases if you don’t know what they mean or how to use them. we use them often, inside and outside of religious settings. in islam, it is encouraged to mention God often and we say these things very casually, but we take them very seriously - Allahu Akbar means “God is Greatest” (often said when something shocks or surprises us, or if we’re scared or daunted, or when something amazing happens, whether it be good or bad; it’s like saying “oh my god”) - Subhan Allah means “Glory be to God” (i say subhan Allah at the sky, at babies, at trees, whatever strikes me as pleasant, especially if it’s in nature) - Bismillah means “in the name of God” and it’s just something you say before you start something like eating or doing your homework - In Shaa Allah means “if God wills” (example: you’ll be famous, in shaa Allah) (it’s a reminder that the future is in God’s hands, so be humble and be hopeful)
- Astaghfirullah means “i seek forgiveness from Allah” and it’s like “god forgive me” - Alhamdulillah means “all thanks and praise belong to God” and it’s just a little bit more serious than saying “thank god” (example: i passed my exams, alhamdulillah; i made it home okay, alhamdulillah) - when i say we use them casually, i really mean it - teacher forgot to assign homework? Alhamdulillah - our version of “amen” is “ameen” - muslims greet each other with “assalamu alaikum” which just means “peace be on you” and it’s like saying hi - the proper response is “walaikum assalam” which means “and on you be peace” and it’s like saying “you too”
This is so cool! So much effort was put into this!? It’s amazing!

Grow up. Not everything is made to your demands, the people who make the decisions don’t care, and you’re only hurting people.
