My Little Cousin Confidently Declared That Mother Nature Had A Counterpart Named Daddy Electric And I

Hamlet illustrated by John Austen, 1922

Filipiniana inspired by the Entities (the Eye, the Vast, the Dark)

[ID: Three drawings of three modelled Filipinianas against a shared background which looks like aged paper. Each one is labelled a different entity which goes, from left to right, the Eye, the Vast, and the Dark. All the models are faceless. Three close ups follow the main image.

The Eye Filipiniana is an 1890s traje de mestiza featuring a brown panuelo with green embroidered trimming resembling ink pen tips and green strips resembling eyelashes at the opening, a translucent wide-sleeved striped baro in alternating off-white and green with green embroidered eyes for trimming, a dark cyan tapis with rows of books patterned on, and a silky striped saya in alternating yellow and green with an eye where the saya and the tapis meet and embroidery of people walking at the hem. Finished with accessories of a silky green necklace with a hanging realistic eye and a dark blue folding fan with an eye pattern. The model has brown skin and straight black hair up in a bun.

The Vast Filipiniana is a Commonwealth Era Style Baro’t Saya featuring a violet umbrella with a bright galaxy on the inside that the model holds on her shoulder, a magenta panuelo with yellow and orange stripes held together with a bright yellow star-shaped medallion, wide translucent butterfly-sleeved baro with a sunset to sky blue gradient from top to bottom with embroidered white clouds on the sleeves, a tapis with different shades of blue going from a light blue to dark blue top to bottom with embroidered silver fish of differing sizes, and a silky dark-blue-to-deep-blue saya with a long saya de cola with dark silhouettes resembling tentacles creeping up the sides. The model has pale tan skin and wavy hair held up in a loose lower bun.

The Dark Filipiniana is an 1840s Baro’t Saya styled for church-wear featuring a translucent plaid-patterned magenta panuelo, a striped straight-sleeved camisa in alternating dark magenta and off-white, a dark purple tapis embroidered with hands in alternating red and blue gripping each other by the wrist, a plaid-patterned magenta saya, and dark purple sandals. The models holds a dark purple hood over her head, the outside is a dark purple trimmed with white embroidery meant to look like closed eyes, the inside is a dark mass filled with open white eyes in strange positions, the dark mass drips down the edges of the hood, some eyes following. The model has ashy tan skin and combed back brown hair.

Finally finished it! I’ve wanted to do this for a while but pushed it off until now. The Entities as a couple versions of the Filipiniana. I don’t have plans rn to make the others since I suspect I will soon be busy again. Still, I have some ideas, particularly for the Web. Have a favourite?

My inspiration+info under the cut! :D

Fallacies to avoid when discussing racism and police brutality

Every so often I venture into like Google Scholar for Frankenstein analysis and like, it’s so fucking bizarre trying to look up essays on “Frankenstein disability” and finding twenty articles about how the creature is an abandoned disabled child and nothing about how the guy who is constantly bedridden is disabled.

Is there any other way to look for these kinds of articles? Like anywhere I can find better matches? I do have a university account…

ID: Two drawings of John Doe from Malevolent. He is a transparent humanoid on a black background. He is outlined in yellow. He has horns with pale yellow swirls that circle them, and end with small candlelike flames at the tips. He has curly hair and long pointy ears. His eyes have rectangular pupils, and his canines are pointed and he has a gap between his front teeth. He is only visible form the waist up, and only his left arm is visible.

In the first drawing, John has his hand raised and looks concerned. He has a speech box reading "Arthur, I'm *sorry*-"

In the second drawing, he is looking down dejectedly. His ears are lowered and his hand has dropped.

Not to be a cunt, but second hand dysphoria is a you problem. It is not the problem of whoever is "giving" you second hand dysphoria.

Femme trans men, transmascs, and enbies existing and loving themselves and their bodies not harmful.

Masc trans women, transfemmes, and enbies existing and loving themselves and their bodies is not harmful.

If you are triggered by a transmasc who fits the soft eboy look, or a transfemme who fits the butch lesbian vibe, that is your responsibility to deal with it. Not theirs.

Secondhand Dysphoria is not the other person's fault.

I'm a hard pillow hard mattress man. I need reliability. I don't want something to change into a completely different shape when I touch it, that's lying and I don't like liars.
