frank's hair in the i'm not okay mv is so intriguing to me. why is it different than his hair during the rest of the revenge era?? why is it perfectly curled up in specific places like a cartoon character?? why did she take the ki
@sharplive as promised, I tagged you in a drawing inspired by your vampire frerard comic!!
I recently just finished unholyverse and I love love love priest gerard so in my vampire ish au gee is a vampire priest, the dudes are green cuz it's a little twilight/hannibal green filter inspired (i haven't finished hannibal yet ;-;)
how is this man real
the person who said frank has the traits of a sitcom character was right
literally what is wrong with him i hate him
the day ray toro gets recognized for just how talented he actually is will be the day i can finally die happy.
because not only does he write some incredible lead guitar parts, his background vocals are. kind of nuts. like his voice just compliments gerard’s well anyways but some of the notes he’s hitting with the stability and tone he’s hitting them with is NOT something i usually expect out of a lead guitarist. perfectly belted B4s while jumping around and playing guitar is not an easy feat. he often sings higher than gee would live (though ray doesn’t actually have to sing as much? so he can allot for using his voice more in that way). ray’s voice is seriously very good. go listen to his background vocals on the chorus of dead! from live in mexico.
so something I've noticed within a lot of fandoms is that people will post their "neurodivergent" headcanons. which is fine ofc, however when they say "neurodivergent" they are typically only referring to autism or ADHD. maaaayybbee ptsd if the character(s) are "traumatized enough" (by that I mean, there's typically one who everyone uwuifies and infantilizes because their trauma is most prominently on display within the media). a common headcanon that often fails to address the trauma of other characters, or that trauma doesn't always manifest itself as PTSD/C-PTSD.
point being, while there's nothing wrong with headcanoning characters with these (autism, adhd, ptsd), maybe...do research? branch out more? imagine how nice it would be if suddenly large amounts of people were not only educated about other lesser-known forms of neurodivergence (ocd, did, npd, bpd, aspd, schizotypal disorders, etc.) but destigmatized them by giving these headcanons to well-loved, popular characters (rather than the villains or antagonists, or even just less popular or even hated characters). (and hey, if you didn't know, schizophrenia and autism can present similarly)
(that being said please do research before you head canon something stigmatizing or ableist.)
it could pave the way for real, genuine, non-stigmatizing or demonizing representation.
and this could probably be a separate post but I wanted to include it here as well:
POC CHARACTERS CAN BE NEURODIVERGENT. POC CHARACTERS ARE ALSO AUTISTIC, ALSO HAVE ADHD, OCD, AND MORE!! STOP LEAVING THEM OUT, STOP ONLY HEADCANONING THE WHITE PROTAGONISTS AS AUTISTIC.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk, please feel free to add on
I feel like Starlight Glimmer's backstory would have way more impact if she still didn't have a cutiemark when she hit adulthood.
Like most unicorns, her canon cutie mark is tied to her magic so with a bit of rewtiting we can just say her power comes from raw magical ability. She did not study it and does not have a passion for it. To her, magic is just an incredibly strong tool.
Then it turns out her special talent is teaching magic and she finally earns her mark once she successfully teaches Trixie an advanced spell
As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.
literally every music genre has at least one album that will absolutely change your life if you give it a shot
