hey folks I'm Kamari and I like stuff sometimes!
This is my main account where I reblog things I like without any real restraint, like cute animals, funny memes, news, politics, fun facts, and whatever niche fandom thing I'm into (you'll see a lot of undertale and fnaf stuff)
I post my own fandom content over at @kamari333 when I make it.

[id: pictures of brennan lee mulligan talking. he says, “people are not motivated by ideological codes. People are motivated by impulse and construct ideological codes to justify and rationalize what they were already going to do. An old professor of mine had this great thing. He said, “On the level of individuals and civilizations, personality predates ideology.” Meaning that before you were a fascist, you were a bully and an asshole.“ end id]
IM SO SICK OF YOU ALL
No nuance allowed. please share for a bigger sample 💕💕💕💕💕
*by eat i mean how do you prefer your cereal.

oh hey guess what
skeletons being friends but like the weirdest fucking possible way right. "oh they are friends, must be a nice clean whimsy time " WRONG they are both not normal about it. like wow he is the brightest star in this universe. but the guy in question kills people. hey I'm friends with you but putting you on a pedestal on the level of sainthood. which is extremely fitting because the qualities most people like about you come directly from your suffering. if you asked for my soul i would deliver it to you just because you asked. also now that you're here let's engineer a barely nonlethal death trap in the town square. it will be very fun.
the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.
they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.
who keeps giving her these things
she ends up condemned too D:

I wanna add those two girls’ names as cards, and they’re pretty great names.
Also they are 100% drawn to be placed at Condemned Darklord’s sides.
This is what peak polyamory looks like.

Page 6 of Knock 'Em (Up) Dead!
Finally.
This and the previous two pages are more cases of 'it was sketched out forever ago' and I only more recently got around to updating them (a little.) It was hard to make myself not redraw Error here (bc I just wanted to get it posted :'D) Anyway, I'm glad I could at least get this continuation started in time for Error's birthday (hbd bb girl 🎂💙)
That's it for now, but more pages will be coming soon. >:]
Next
I’ve seen this comment a few times on my art here and on insta and I’m genuinely curious— WHERE did people get the idea that the Creature “just had creepy eyes”?? That Victor only ran away because the Creature’s eyes freaked him out?
I’ve seen people say this repeatedly and it couldn’t be further from the truth like. He is explicitly described as an eight foot tall cobbled together corpse with skin that barely covers his veins, yes his eyes are creepy but that would probably be the last thing anyone would notice about the Creature tbh 😭
I feel a lot of it is people trying to mock Victor in a “um you’re scared for no reason??” way, so ignore the fact that every human being who sees the Creature is horrified to the depths of their soul. Even Robert Walton had to resist the wave of sheer terror that hit him at their meeting so he could have a conversation with him. It plays into the themes of how ugliness and beauty have no connection with evil or purity, no matter what human instinct says, and how that instinct caused immeasurable pain.
But that doesn’t play into shallow fandom “dunk on Victor and put ‘Adam’ on a pedestal” tendencies so let’s throw it all out the window for Hot Creature because heaven forbid a character we like and sympathize with not be Hot!!
Okay sorry gotta add to my soapbox. It sucks that people dogpile Victor with ableism and dumb invented shit and inventing flaws he doesn’t have, because this is THE hamartia Greek Tragedy Fatal Flaw of the story to me.
Victor was inundated with the belief that beauty and goodness are interlinked, raised in a society that believed it wholeheartedly and elevates physiognomy. He saw his creation brought to life and his mind broke—partly from the uncanny valley horror that affects every human in the story, partly from his precarious state of health both mental and physical at the time, but significantly because such horrible ugliness = horrible evil. The Creature was brought to life innocent and naive and helpless, but Victor’s subconscious mind flooded his dreams with hallucinations of demons and death because of this belief.
It’s far from being unique to Victor in this story! The de Laceys were even more cruel in this regard than he was. Robert Walton learned from Victor’s story and pushed past the “ugly = evil” instinct despite the subconscious flood of fear and loathing. Shelley has so many things to say about society and how much suffering it causes and ignores, and this is part of that.
It undermines the power of the book’s message to reduce it to just Victor being cowardly, but it DEFIES the message of the book to rebut it with “actually the Creature was hot because I like him.” Can you do better than Victor’s fatal flaw of equating beauty and goodness, evil and ugliness? Is your take-away anything more than “Victor should have thought he was good-looking and therefore deserving of compassion?”
so I’m looking at short story publishers (fantasy)
Whenever I see a post like this, I feel like I have to tell people about the Submission Grinder. I just did a search on it and it came up with 135 markets that pay for fantasy short stories. You can search by genre, pay rate, length of story they accept, etc, and it’s constantly being updated, which a post like this can’t be, and you can also use it to keep track of what you’ve sent where and when, and since a lot of people use it for this purpose it’s got a lot of good data about response times and so on. If you are trying to sell fiction or poetry on the regular, it is such a useful tool and I encourage everyone to use it.
A couple updates:
I have been waiting all year to post this.

[ID: An infographic on Red Flags from Medical Professionals.
1. ‘Medical Professional Red Flags’ with an image of a doctor with an angry expression
The rest are all text:
2. They label you as a hypochondriac (someone who has health anxiety) when you express your fears and invalidated your concerns
3. They don’t tell you the side effects of prescribed medication/brush them off
4. They insist that their diagnosis is right when you have evidence otherwise
5. They become defensive when you ask for a second opinion
6. They rush you through the medical process and don’t spend enough time to understand your condition
7. They don’t listen to you or your suggestions
8. They spend more time berating you and your choices than actually helping you
9. They talk more about themselves than to you
10. Many, people do not trust medical professionals because of these reasons, but the fact is that there are plenty of ethical doctors and nurses out there who do want to help you that these people give a bad name to.
Please feel free to swap doctors if they display any of these red flags until you meet a good one!

i had a good one and i didnt know why the heck my mom got so frustrated with her doctors and then i realized: not all doctors are like mine. not all of them listen when you have a health concern, and some of them just bounce you like youre a beach ball. and i really hope i dont have to go through that ever but knowing the medical industry i will.
