Thunderingconquistador - ~Its A Mental Breakdown~

found this INCREDIBLY powerful pic of miss piggy from her 1983 calendar

The thing about Cottagecore is that is a fetishized aesthetic of country life, divorced from labor and idealized by a primarily urban audience with a backward looking ethos of tradition. They are not prepared for the stresses of a rural life: farming; harvesting; tapping pumpkins to ensure none of them have been replaced with flesh; losing out on income by having to use one of your pigs in a blood sacrifice to paint protective sigils over your doors and windows; checking cracks and chimneys for the flesh-vines of the Pumpkin Lord; having to decide, before the Growth is complete, whether that's really your tradwife or an amassment of vines, leaves, and blood in the shape of your tradwife; ignoring their desperate pleas that "I'm me! No! No!" as you burn them alive, realizing too late you picked wrong; and the exploitative corporate nature of commercial farming in 2024. All seen through a deeply colonial lens, of course

Combining my two biggest fixations atm <3

Edit: bonus comic!!

I gotta say I'm obsessed with what Luffy does to the typical "sunshine" character trope, in that he's an exception to the usual portrayal but perhaps the most true to it of anyone. He's not "sunshine" as in pure niceness and sweetness and innocence. He's sunshine as in The Sun.

He's joy and light and warmth, illuminating all the beauty of the world, but he's also powerful enough to kill and blind and burn. He's an everyday annoyance. He's the strongest force of nature that exists. His happiness shines bright for miles. So does his rage. You could look at him wrong and be screwed up for life. You never want to live without him.

I can't get over this.

Comic strip artists from the 40’s draw their characters while blindfolded

Don't mind me

Sobbing over how Teeth and Floyd, when everyone started celebrating Walter at the end of Muppets 2011, went and lifted him up !!

Sorry for the stuff from my streaming site being visible jshdjdhs- also Floyd's barely visible in the first one but you can see his bushy eyebrow sticking out behind Fozzie

BUT LOOK AT HOW WALTER'S GOT HIS HAND ON FLOYD'S HEAD AND TEETH'S SHOULDER TO STEADY HIMSELF, AND TEETH'S HAND ON HIS BACK TO KEEP HIM FROM TILTING BACKWARDS !!!!

The band being so kind and caring with stuff like this with younger Muppets always makes me so happy.. sobbing over this lowkey, like they care SO MUCH

i fear it's contagious

Has this been done before
