Had this idea for some pride related fanart that i figured y’all might like.
I think it turned out pretty damn good, just don’t look too close at the details.

today’s word is Weaponisation!!!
the act of using something as a way of attacking a person or a group :
weaponization of He described the weaponization of the legal system to promote a political agenda as fundamentallyanti-democratic.
The weaponization of language is the process in which language can be used to inflict harm on others.

viv uses everything she can, including information about other people that isn’t hers to share, to attack people. She uses the fact that other villains have merch, ignoring the context of her own merch and the context of why people are uncomfortable with that character specifically. Then she uses the criticism itself to defend harmful rhetoric. And of course then she uses her fantastic advocacy for sa victims.
(Also I’ve never seen a creator of a show doing the whole “Well!!! I wasn’t!!! But even if I was!!” Argument. Like bro you’re not a kid anymore you have to do better than that.)
if you can’t handle writing a topic in a show without endearing yourself to the villain who committed a true, happens in real life, sort of atrocity, then you aren’t equipped to write that narrative.
there’s a graceful and an ignorant way to handling every topic and almost media stays somewhere in the middle, with few exceptions for either side. Viv has managed to land so far on the ignorant side that it’s inspired me to start writing with my eyes closed, because clearly that’s how you can get funded by Amazon.

being on the aro-ace spectrum is so strange because you can go years without so much as a crush and then you get to know just the right person under just the right circumstances and suddenly your heart is fluttering at the notification of their texts. God I’m in over my head.
Offering me unsolicited advice about a situation that I don't feel great about, or has already happened, is the quickest way to get on my bad side.
I am ashamed of my darkest kin. I have to keep it a secret. Nobody would ever understand such a twisted kintype
if you like wrestling, Stephen Amell, Alexander Ludwig, or even just good drama, watch Heels. It’s on netflix right now and the more you watch the higher the chances for season 3
it’s a good show with characters that feel real in a way not a lot of shows feel like
starting thinking some of these callouts for ai are made by people who just don’t write that much.
Em-dashes are some of the most common “odd” punctuation. Have a character with two last names? Two middle names? A street name? An interruption in dialogue? A mocking way to refer to something? A made up name for something? seriously these guys are annoyingly useful.
someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

right about now.......
Guys, the more I think about it, the more I fear that they simply won't care about our input. Like shane and ryan, both went to school for filmography, and they've always wanted to make TV quality content. Every pod, they talk about some movie or other piece of film media. They love it. The yellow and blue text has always been enough for us, yes, but I worry that it will never be enough for them. Our devotion is irrelevant. It just really sucks that their values and goals don't seem to align with ours.
I know it’s just a fandom thing but it’s still weird to see a post explicitly about seeing characters as siblings or seeing them as aroace or whatnot and you choosing to derail it and go “BUT I SHIP THEM!!!! DONT PERSECUTE ME UwU!!!” Like bud you’re walking into a club whilst proclaiming you’re against clubs, what are you expecting? Of course we’re going to tell you to leave.
