I've been laying down for about 4 hours, had maybe about an hours worth of sleep and am not going to sleep soon so I'm rambling since I have some stuff on my mind. Stream of consciousness about personal favorite characters, women characters in media, character archetypes, and alienation for my preferences.

I've said this in random spaces to friends and in some servers but I think maybe I'll put into words in a singular place here, and that is, the concept that labels can be Culture just as much as Identity, and the two things are very different.

This thought first came to me way back when I was reading Erica Moen's Dar Comic some time in the mid-2000' ( Read more... )

Been reading peoples rants/thoughts/posts on the elevation of children's media over adult media and I've been thinking about something lacking in a lot of Mainstream adult media, specifically in western adult media.

If you aren't already aware I'm a lover of cartoons, I watch vast amounts of cartoon media, I often prefer it over live action things, ( Read more... )

So I have this problem. It's a brain thing, likely an executive dysfunction thing, but I get a lot of project concepts and I generally know what I need to do to get it done but I have difficulty seeing it all the way through. I either don't start them at all or I start them and they loose steam, or I start them and I get stuck and never pick them ( Read more... )

With social media as it is I'm sure you've seen it everywhere. Acronyms, Choice of icons, Use of flags, statements and proclamations, all of them meaning or signaling something, and as the years go by the list gets larger and larger. And I use absolutely 0 of these things in any of my profiles or about sections.

It is not to say that I don't have ( Read more... )

A passing thought I had a few days ago I need to put to text (and I'm putting this in very cis and dyadic language for the sake of clarity so bare with me)

A lot of people look down on the stories that have 'only men can do this' special groups are some sort of dunk on women and their incapability. The ones that spring to mind are the Space Marines ( Read more... )

Learning to draw more realistically is like eating the forbidden fruit

Once you were naive, unlearned, you did not worry about the difference where-in of drawing nearly the same face with different hair and different colors. You drew all yours and your friends without fear.

Then you partook of the fruit that was anatomical study, and you became privy ( Read more... )

Y'Ever think about how important Archival stuff is?
https://archive.org/details/internetarchivebooks
Been looking through asset things and ran into this and I'm just fascinated by the sheer library of content there and things like Magazines that people don't think to archive but are just as vitally important.

It's funny that I'm saying this on the ( Read more... )

So I was doing pretty decent monetarily speaking and I splurged a little and got some music albums, in listening to Pyre by Nothing More, which is some of the recorded speeches made by Alan Watts but put to music. There's a lot in the lyrics about life and the universe but the part that I like the most personally, is the last passagePeople can't be ( Read more... )

The topic gosh, the last few years, has been whether or not fiction affects reality. The topic has had many forms, especially as of late, though for those less entrenched in social media, most of this age may recall discussions on whether violent video games cause or influence violent action. The more recent talking point has been related to sexual ( Read more... )
