fuck this joke honestly. It’s been a trend these past couple years at these award shows where a white says something like this and all the whites giggle together but aint none of them do shit after that shit settle. they laugh in the comfort of their privilege. like they just say this to be quirky. something as severe as this is brought up and everyone laughs cuz they know it’s true but it means nothing to them. it’s nothing serious.  It’s like “haha, i guess that is messed up. whelp im comfortable as fuck tho so ima keep doing me”

What the fuck are they supposed to do while they’re sitting at the Oscars? Do you want NPH to go “okay so this awards list is a little too white so I’m just gonna give the awards to the people I feel deserve them?”

People with social status are FINALLY starting to call this shit out, using their fame to call out privilege and injustice where they see it. This is actually a big deal. 

I really wish tumblr would start recognizing small changes. Of course we should strive for better, but systemic change doesn’t happen overnight. NPH is an openly gay man hosting the fucking Oscars. Can we just talk about the fact that two years ago Seth McFarlane hosted, and sang a song about how many actresses had shown their breasts in film—often in depictions of trauma or sexual assault?

Or the fact that there are people out there every day who are working to better recognize POC, LGBT people, and other minorities in the media, who get zero recognition?

Agent Carter—a show with a badass female protag—is probably going to get canceled because no one is watching it.

Parks and Rec—a show about a tiny town in rural Indiana that has one of the most diverse casts I’ve ever seen—gets literally zero recognition on Tumblr other than “haha this show is funny.”

Fresh off the Boat, same thing.

Modern Family—while incredibly white—shows the struggles of immigrants and LGBT families—and again, no recognition. 

How about you get off your fucking high horse, recognize that change takes time but that there are some pretty solid changes happening, and just stop.

Tumblr “activism” is horrible.

((occasionally mun B wants to voice opinions. mun B is very sorry that they havent had time to draw more yet. rest assured that they will draw this weekend. probably.))

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I was part of the askblog secret santa exchange, and my lovely person whom I drew all these for is asktheflarpingduo!

I drew some sad AraSol, some (one-sided?) TavRis, a DaveTez doodle, and pale AraTav!

I also wrote a Dave/Terezi humanstuck one-shot, which can be found here: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/10916020/1/Early

Merry Christmas, my dear! These were all so much fun to draw and write!

I hope you have some happy holidays!
