This was just supposed to be a sketch warmup but I ended up doing lineart 🤦♀️. Now I don't have time for rendering, and won't for a while.
If you wanna color it, be my guest, just dm me.
you sprayed a murderer with a hose
Mike hit a murderer with a CAR
Only on tumblr does a near 40 year old cold case finally get solved because an X-Files shitposter found the body of the murderer stuck inside the mascot costume it used to kill people in at their workplace and started sharing pictures of him like he was the beloved company pet. Webbed site
he's very excited about his first night as a jack o lantern
hi besties. First thing (this is relevant) I'm black. Good old African American yippee
Ok.
Let's talk about Chinese erasure.
LMK is a retelling/revisioning of a NUMBER of Chinese Mythologies. Most focused of being Journey to The West a story mostly focused around Sun Wukong.
Now. I have seen, so much fanart, fanworks, headcanons, character redesignes that change the characters from yellow legos (the legos actual colors NOT the fact they are Asian we're not doing that) to more realistic/human looking characters. And a lot of the time these include making these characters Black/Blasian.
Now first of all: I'm not talking about..i think its October? The October challenge to redraw characters as Black/African. I'm talking about art and work just year round.
Hey, first of all, I love that people are drawing more POC characters. But can you make these characters THE RIGHT FUCKING RACE?
The characters in LMK (Redson especially i see so much shit of him being black) are CHINESE they are CHINESE MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS/RETELLING OF SAID CHARACTERS. They are NOT black.
I love seeing the representation and people learning to draw POC characters but please please do it with characters who arent as culturally significant as those from LMK. There's most of the Steven Universe Characters, there's any white characters from media NOT based in mythology you can draw as black but please please please do not forget
LMK is in China.the characters are Chinese. Draw them as such. Learn to draw Chinese characters and hairstyles.
please 🙏 Chinese culture deserves the amount of respect and time your putting into ours
Edit: I am not saying drawing them with tan skin is bad. Chinese people can be tan. but if you give them fucking braids and cornrows aka: black protective hairstyles then your just erasing their ethnicity aka: FUCKING CHINESE.
also please reblog! Tumblr doesn't have an algorithm like other sites so if this spreads it has to spread through reblogging so please do

Repost of Instagram post by alessandra_sanguinetti:
“In 2004 I worked as an intern in Newsweek and had to go through the wires coming in from the Middle East.
The Iraq war was raging. Israel was committing its routine violations and killings.
The images were devastating and unequivocally condemning of both the USA and Israel, but I remember the editors would reject all my picks and demand images of burnt cars or vague images of destruction.
So I brought a hard drive and collected everything they didn't publish.
It was my first live glimpse of the lack of ethics or integrity in most US media.
Not the journalists on the ground, but of the senior editors making the calls - in their self important glass cubicles.
And no, to the cynics out there..it's not all too complicated to discuss on social media.
Social media is the only reason we know what's happening in Palestine.
And the only reason mainstream news has to keep up and sprinkle some actual news now and then.
Meanwhile we are seeing much less footage coming out of Gaza - Israel has been killing off all the journalists.
This is terrifying.”

Controversial inkling and octoling position
I don't think they have scars on their tentacles. I get the artistic appeal and it looks cool (and is cannon if you look close at Captain 3s tentacles there are faint scars)
But...their tentacles are hair remember? It's their hair, it grows, they cut it. Any trauma afflicted to the original hair tentacles wouldn't be on their new ones.
Like if you cut a chunk of your hair that chunk wouldn't be there forever, it wouldn't grow that way. Their hair can get long, look at the hair styles ranging from long to short.
Thats it :^
We are witnessing the grotesque reality of the martyred Palestinians and thousands of their massacred children being written off as mere afterthoughts. The way western media outlets steadfastly refuse to call the Israeli aggression and onslaught for what it is, which is genocide and ethnic cleansing, is just another way of dehumanizing Palestinians.
law is law
