Greetings from animated hell, m8s!

@thunderstrike64

My name’s Litzy, but Star and Thunder are also fine! I’m 20, autistic, asexual, I go by she/her and they/them pronouns, and I enjoy watching/drawing cartoonish stuff.
So...yeah.

So you can pin posts now, huh?

Alrighty then.

Hi! My name’s Litzy, but I like to go by Star (or Thunder on here). My pronouns are she/her and they/them, I’m asexual, I’m autistic, and I’m still trying to figure myself out as much as I can. Oh and I’m 20 years old. Forgot to mention that.

I’m just an artist who draws their current interests, mainly cartoons, animated movies, and video games (more so RPGs and platformers than anything else).

I draw either on my phone, on my boogie board, or a piece of paper. Kinda just depends how I’m feeling at the moment.

And while I mostly make fanart on here, I do have a side blog for original content of mine:

It doesn’t have much yet, but I do plan on putting more stuff on there.

I’m also not taking any commissions, nor do I plan to anytime soon. Maybe I will when I feel ready, but right now I’m not making any money off of my art.

Oh and I reblog a lotta posts that I either think are funny, really important, or just neat art.

I think that’s about all I have to say.

So...yeah.

The remake reboot prequel sequel industrial complex is killing me but the good thing is I don't have to watch any of that. I can just think "that sounds boring or otherwise doesn't interest me in any way" and do something other than watch it

"They're making a willy wonka origin story with timothee chalamet," you might say to me. "They're doing a live action the last airbender again, didn't you love avatar?" I don't find it necessary. This is nothing to me

petition to bring back saying "huzzah!" when something goes your way and "alas." when it doesn't

in hindsight, pitching something that would be deemed a fair bit strange by some standards to a site teeming with already incredibly strange people was a mistake. apologies tumblr users i’d forgotten where i was

the ai's aversion to producing anything that's not aesthetically pleasing dentist office artwork leaves it unable to comprehend true beauty

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light

“but AI art lets me create my OCs!” YOU WILL USE PICREW AS GOD INTENDED

i actually have a list of POC friendly picrews saved so by extension of the focus on inclusivity there’s probably more body type / facial options in these! the ones i’ve personally used from this list have had them. i hope this helps!!!

Also! Hero Forge. It's a website mostly for making your DnD characters as minis, but it's an absolutely Great resource for anyone looking to make their oc. It has great options for posing, customization, and just about anything.

Don’t use the evil computer program to make art it’s putting artists out of work, instead use this kind noble computer program that makes art. So we hate ai just because it’s trendy to hate ai? Is that what we’re doing?

AI uses learning based on many scraped/stolen artworks. Picrew and Heroforge are essentially fancy paper dolls. Every aspect of them was done by an artist, who has provided them for our use, we're just mix and matching. These things are not remotely the same, friend.

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

“no matter how badly you think you’re doing it, someone else has done it a lot worse and been fine” is applicable to a wide, wide range of things and i say it to myself all the time

Fandom is amazing we’re all just writing stories for each other and making gifs and video edits and fanart and for what? For sharing the joy of it, the love of it. So we can look at another human and see ourselves

Every time I talk to an irl person about what I do here they’re like “are you going to monetize that” and I’m like, you do not understand. You do not get the point. I am doing 10-15 hours a week of academic research and writing for pure and simple love of my clan. Tumblr is my cave and we’re all just in here drawing pictographs on the walls, leave your currency OUTSIDE.
