Part 2 on the way!

if someone close to you is disabled, you have to take that into account when you go places with them. you have to think about accessibility, fatigue, pain, flare ups, etc because its exhausting and hurtful when people who say they love you dont bother putting the effort in to make sure you ACTUALLY have a good time.

[update: i made this post in the spur of the moment after my family did something very inconsiderate & hurtful while we were on vacation, and I was very upset and angry at how abled people treat disabled people, hence the "abled people are required to reblog" thing. I was not expecting this amount of traction, and I've removed that now, because a lot of people dislike the guilt tripping. I did not mean it to be guilt-tripping, i was upset and angry.]

Behold! ... Art dump! With rambles!

I was drawing based on vibes (very sexy of me /j) and letting the feelings lead me which was nice and I got these..! Things! idk what they are, but they sure are.. whatever that is!

first one I did and I was like "!!! That was great I wanna draw more!" (he started the explosions fireworks)

the more (left), and it's sidekick (right). Very peaceful 10/10 would draw again. He's sleeping!

tw claustrophobia (also the name I gave the piece in my folder):

... yeah I have no idea. Liked the idea of drawing Vio surrounded by books, then this happened. Kinda fun to draw, liked drawing him looking both really uncomfortable and also unfazed by it. Kinda like a more intense version of my 12-yo reading habits lol (i.e. find small cramped space and sprawl).

rise of the guardians thoughts

Because we needed more of those from me right lol

Anyway-

The timing of Jack being selected to be a Guardian is really interesting.

Because in movie canon, the other Guardians came together during the dark ages, right? And they needed to protect things that were being lost to children of that era due to fear and despair: wonder, hope, dreams, important memories.

But Jack. Jack becomes a Guardian in the modern era.

The implication is that modern kids are losing their grip on fun. There's fear and despair inflicted on the young generations of today, by school, mental illness, and the constant barrage of information and guilt on the Internet putting the weight to save the world on them while they're still powerless to do anything about it. Even when people try to aim that guilt exclusively at adults (which a lot of media doesn't!), kids tend to try to feel in control of bad things happening around them by assuming they're their own fault. If they can blame themselves for divorce and abuse, why not world disasters?

And when hope isn't enough anymore, when good memories are formed less and less, when the wonder and magic are stripped from a child's world, where do they have left to escape fear and despair?

Fun.

And I think that's why Jack was chosen when he was.

And it could be so easy to make that connection and let your hope for the world slip, but that's not the point of Rise of the Guardians.

The point is that actually, taking fear and despair too seriously, even when you're the one/ones fighting it- letting it consume your thoughts and time... doesn't do anyone any good.

Sometimes you need to fight it by being lighthearted in spite of the world.

I think that's why it's remained such a comfort movie for the generation it was made in. We see ourselves in these more or less helpless kids, struggling against a constant storm of fear and darkness, and this movie finds a way to pull that innocence and lightheartedness out of us again. It's comforting to feel like there's defenses and barriers against despair that will never truly go away, even just for a moment.
