Word For Today: Shitgibbon

for lady hestia

if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?

I kinda hate how it feels like 95% of new fantasy novels nowadays are either Romantasy, LitRPG, Progression Fantasy, or smut.

More Muppet Princess Bride fan art! I didn't feel a need to Muppetify this line at all, I feel like Piggy saying this and then cutting to Kermit's trademark eyes is funny enough. Hopefully ya'll agree!

I spent way too much time wondering if I should change "Farm boy" to "Farm frog" but farm boy just sounded better.

I intended to draw Kermit with the same expression Westley has in the film, but it's hard to resist giving Kermit at least a slight smile. So let's just say he's smiling because he genuinely appreciates Piggy's compliment.

Not to be obnoxious, but like, I always say this! First, to get this out of the way, the only one I might argue on is Kamala, just because I'm pretty sure there have been team ups and stuff, but also because the young avengers each stand for someone who has lost something. Nate feels like he's going to lose his future, his choice. He stands for people who are shoved in a box and left to rot. Cassie is for those who have lost their tether, who need to climb away from their pain. Kate is for the people who feel like they don't have tge right to feel this way, who feel wrong about their pain. Eli stands for those wronged by rascism, and Kamala could fit there, because unfortunately there are people who ignore that rascism is a lot more than just being mean to black people. Billy and Teddy are those who feel like who they love is wrong, and personally I feel like tommy represents people with mental health struggles that most overlook, such as ADHD. Even Vision 2.0, he represents the people living in a shadow, expected to be someone/thing they're not. They're also teenagers. They're YOUNG. They were there to remind everyone that we struggle too, that pain can take many forms and to believe in the kids. Yelena is a fully grown adult. Peter, while he starts at 17, is about a good 5-7 years older than the original team when they first start out. I don't know enough about Harley to point anything specific out, but riri, she's part of her own group, doing their own thing to help young readers feel comfortable. Let different teams be different and let each hero be one in their own respective right. Everything these characters do shapes us, but we need to respect where they fit in, and what the catagories we want them to fill actually mean and do for the people who read these and connect, who find a little bit of themselves on those pages. Billy eas the first Jewish Queer character I had seen, and i felt seen. And when I first read Ms. Marvel, I saw a young girl about my age struggling with the same mental health struggles and persevering. These characters are special each in their own right, don't take that away by doing the very thing all of them fight against, don't stick them in a box they don't fit in. Let them thrive, and let them stay special ♥️
