there is something horrifically grim to it, but illustrations for gaza and palestinians tend to catch more mass attention that actual photos of people. this made me feel incredibly helpless for a long while, seeing both how people would rather look at a neat drawing of red black green and white than look a human in the eyes, and how online platforms would rather push a viral drawing while suppressing those begging for help at the same time.

a way to cope with this feeling has been taking advantage of it to directly guide people to helping palestinians.

if art gets better traction, then there’s an incredible amount of good that can be done by creating art that immediately links to fundraisers. creating art of the many images of those who are asking for help.

within hours of posting my drawing, there has been jumps in the thousands for bashar from gaza’s fundraiser. it’s a small effort in the grand scheme of things. it’s not a fix it. but it’s something good. please take care of each other and do what you can. i think this could help a lot of people if a lot of people did it.

here is bashar. i’ve drawn him, spoken to him, and known him now for a few months. any shares help, any art helps. draw who you see, draw what you see. thanks all

the thing is the king charles portrait is genuinely incredible and exactly how I would execute a portrait of a member of the british royal family but also I literally cannot fathom why the british royal family would have it made

like yeah if I were going to make a portrait of king charles I would absolutely have just his smugly smirking face leering out of a mass of red that could only be read as blood and gore, and have his military uniform fading ambiguously into the same background to lay bare the brutality of imperialism concealed by the pomp and ceremony of the british state, and make the entire thing sort of look like it was decaying to indicate the rot of the empire. like I really struggle to imagine a better visual metaphor for the nightmarish history of a dying empire than the king's spiffy military uniform and saber and sash and rows of epaulets being literally made out of a rotting field of blood and gore. but like why did he have it commissioned... why did he have it MADE and then say Looks great I'm putting it on the wall... HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN HELL

lying in bed for an hour and a half after waking up should not pass time in my opinion

a cow and i have probably shared the same thought about how the sun hits the wild grass

kagome saying “coming home shouldn’t be so lonely” when she came back to her world & then tearing up when she saw inuyasha. i will always think abt kagome being at home in inuyasha’s presence & inuyasha with kagome’s. kagome choosing to stay & inuyasha protecting her as the greatest response he could give to kagome's decision. there’s always something abt Love that’s interposed w circumstances that they have to constantly row around to meet each other in the middle. i want you to stay but mostly i want you safe even if that means being apart from you, even if i’ll lose you… i’ll stay even without the promise of safety because i want to be with you. i'll commit to you with my whole life to protect you! i love you, i love you, i love you

it's really all about respecting kagome's agency of deciding for herself and responding in kind... like i will meet you halfway, hold your hand and we'll bear it all together.

my number one skill is being sooo cute and my number two skill is the ancient curse
