HAPPY IDES OF MARCH!

🖤🤍💜

bell hooks mentioned going through a time in her life where she was severely depressed and suicidal and how the only way she got through it was through changing her environment: She surrounded her home with buddhas of all colors, Audre Lorde’s A Litany for Survival facing her as she wakes up, and filling the space she saw everyday with reinforcing objects and meaningful books. She asks herself each day, “What are you going to do today to resist domination?” I also really liked it when she said that in order to move from pain to power, it is crucial to engage in “an active rewriting of our lives.”

blows my mind that cheetahs are apex predators. that is the single most anxious creature I have ever seen. at any given moment a cheetah is exactly one stubbed paw away from bursting into tears. that is a sad dripping wet animal, and it's at the top of the local food chain? babygirl what happened

“bug why are you still awake its 1 am” there were. collectibles.

I made a minor little redesign thing for sneasler

mostly just made it fluffier, less empty and beefed up its claws. Also tried to "fix" it's proportions a bit, which I think are its main problem to me. It just feels so... off, like an undefined wet noodle. And its head is way too big for a fully evolved pokemon (which I didn't really change oops)

its genuinely one of my least favorite pokemon just for it's off-ness, but just tiny tweaks make it look so likeable, and in fan art it usually looks great

Anyway props to everyone who likes it just the way it is, the joy of pokemon is that there's something for everyone

Propaganda

Saotome Rama:

- There is nothing Cis about the premise of Rama

- A character that can switch between "girl" form and "boy" form is any multigendered person's dream

- Often times when Rama is in "girl" form they still identify as a boy, though occasionally they will also call themself a girl in their head or even out loud even when it's to people that know their secret so there's no real reason.

Rasputin “Raz” Aquato:

- The way Their family talks about them being psychic is BIG "transphobic/homophobic/etc family starting to unlearn their bigotry" vibes. At various levels

- Their older brother is VIOLENTLY angry about them being a psychic in a way that feels close to transphobia. Believing that it's a choice and when pointed out the dad is psychic he says "It's a phase!"

- Mom is obviously still holding anti-psychic biases and would rather not talk about her family members being psychic, even if she's much more polite about it

- Older sister is not ready to come out as a psychic yet, saying that she's "not ready to break Mom and Dad's heart" (like Raz did)

- Dad has awkward enthusiasm about psychic stuff to try to mend the relationship between the child he hurt and to connect with them

- There's a dialogue option where you can try to out the older sister as a psychic, and the Dad responds with "She'll come out when she's ready"

- Models his haircut and style after his favorite male celebrity
