learned machine girl was nonbinary today and every person and publication on earth misgenders the fuck out of them. only found out by digging on reddit and joining the machine girl server for confirmation

ok sonic mania tails is like Perfect. we need to play this game. SSI money please come in

actually. I think the worsening of toy quality just happened to coincide with tails' redesign in sonic adventure to make the perfect storm of "I don't like this". this makes perfect sense actually

listen, we dislike modern tails' design. it's been done well by some artists but other times it looks like a weirdly proportioned rat. we need to learn how to draw mobians better (our first tails drawing left a lot to be desired) so we can draw the perfect tails

tails plushies used to be so cute literally what happened

the people and groups I've been cruel to in the past may never feel safe around me again and that's just something I'll have to live with, as much as it hurts

all I can do is move forward with my life and be satisfied with my own improvement, to try not to make the same mistakes adolescent-young adult me did

i really love this piece, though maybe not the artist's full intent, it really makes me think about how no person is in a vacuum. everyone is made up of the things they've experienced, what they like, where they come from, and what's important to them. there is not simply a "self", but a collection of things that make us so

really suggest reading the analysis, there's a big cultural aspect in the piece that is central to understanding what the artist meant by it

i should really have some sort of art/media thread but we stay inconsistent and silly

🐺 guess we have to make sure every post we ever make when we're upset is set to private, because people can't help themselves. I don't know maybe if someone is struggling they don't want to see someone boost it to make it about themself

🐺 you know just because a personal post isn't set to followers only doesn't mean it's not weird as fuck to boost it

🐺 do any of you know any realistic/stylized realism feral wolf artists. thank you

imo public following/follower lists are just a vehicle for harassment

relistening to the album though, I can definitely tell what she meant by "spiteful and flat". super interesting how just a few words can change your perspective! not that I dislike it now or anything

to me doraemon is about the pain of masking part of yourself: whether that be autism, queerness, whatever. it's about having so much inside you and not feeling like it will ever be ok to show it.

it culminates in breaking down, being terrified to take the plunge into being yourself... and then the storm clears. and youre you. and you're ok, and you're part of the world, and you've found your home

found out doraemon (album) was made with cynicism and mean-spirited intentions??? wow I did not get that reading at all. this is my 9/11

🐺 so tired of hearing about quads. we've seen discoursing about quads since we first looked into the otherkin tag so many years ago. why is this such an important therian staple

🐺 I don't know how to explain it but so much loud complex electronic music feels intrinsically therian to me. patricia taxxon was right
