Lol hi

I’m Cipher and I’m here now. I draw sometimes and post silly things whenever. I also yell about Warrior Cats sometimes so be prepared for that.

I like itemLabel a lot and mostly draw them, so that’s what the creature above is from. Please try to be respectful! Be niceys to one another and such

I’ll post my art under the #my art tag. Otherwise it’ll probably be a ton of reblogs and my other goofy posts will be tagged with #shitpost. Other peoples’ funny posts will be tagged #sillies. I plan to tag stuff as often and thoroughly as I can, but please tell me if you need me to add anything

My goofy Warrior cats au is under the #recollections au hashtag if you’re looking for it. Don’t expect constant updates though; I’m swamped to hell and back. But if you got questions on it, please ask!

Confused as to why I disdain a lot of the source material? Here, in this Google Doc is a great resource made by indigenous folks who analyzed Warriors and made note of the plethora of anti-indigenous values and messages within its arcs:

Warrior Cats and Anti-Indigenous Writing
DISCLAIMER: The purpose of this document isn’t a demand for the cancellation of the Warrior Cats series, or the harassment or defamation of
Google Docs

If you’ve got the time, totally go read this! It also includes a message to the authors of Warriors that, interestingly enough, has not been responded to by said authors. Go show it some love so that it gets more attention and so that others learn to not use indigenous stereotypes in their writing.

Also, just in case any of you ask, I don’t do commissions. I take way too long making stuff and then don’t draw for months at a time on end, so I think that’s for the best. Thanks, bye!

HELP NOUR AND HIS CHILDREN

Nour (Aka: noor508) is in a tough situation right now; They have been trying to raise funds any way he can to support his two children, one of which was born recently.

What makes this situation even harder for their family is that the fundraiser they had was closed by GFM. Thankfully, the organizer of the original campaign has allowed donations to be taken through Pay/Pal

Pay Andrea Soto using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/NoureddineAboalresh and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries
PayPal.Me

If you wish to look more into this for more context, here is a link to all extra information, including it's validity and Nour's other accounts in the event that their account mentioned here is banned

I urge you all to donate and help out (reblogging) Nour and his kids, nobody should have to raise two children in such a horrible and dangerous situation

I don’t hate “Bye Bye” from the Mufasa movie but you imagine something totally different visually when listening to it on its own vs when you actually watch the scene

#seems to be an overall problem for most of the songs in the film#like oh okay the lions are prancing through an area. Sure the area looks pretty cool sometimes. But the characters’ actions are just dull#though they made a few strides in making the lions more expressive there’s still not enough expression through other movements!#you have to at least try to make the choreography look interesting for a scene like this to work#I just rewatched “Bye Bye” with and without audio and let me tell you it’s the song that only makes it half decent#the only other thing it has going for it is the realistic cgi looking pretty good. There were not any moments that really stuck out here#the villain kinda just. walked around. and for a song that’s being sung in this almost playful yet angry way? that’s not a good thing#yikes#there is so much that could have been done with a song like this. the storyboarded version is so much livelier. it’s really too bad#the lion king#mufasa

"red-pill" "snowflake" everything about v for vendetta...fascists really do love to steal and bastardize culture from the queer people they are trying to destroy

Avatar

"snowflake" was popularized in Fight Club, a novel by a gay man. "red-pill" is from a movie created by two trans women and is a metaphor for estrogen and gender transitioning. those same women adapted V For Vendetta from the original comic (written by a polyamorous man who may or may not be queer but certainly has something going on); in both versions the titular protagonist "V" is implied to be transmasculine, and a survivor of torture and imprisonment for the crime of homosexuality.

because that's what they see in us, these bigots who are happy to consume and quote and corrupt queer-created media, as long as they can erase every beautiful root. they see criminals, commiting the crime of being queer. and they are doing their damnedest to bring back the laws that made it so.

#you’re so right#I love queer messages in media and I hate that people are cherry picking certain things from them to push an opposite message#like you can’t just take stuff from the Matrix without acknowledging its significance to trans folks. It’s always there#that’s like taking the trans out of transformers. Or the fact that it’s about war and oppression. It’s impossible even in the Bayverse#You can’t take V’s mask and use it for oppression. What would V say if he saw y’all doing that shit#ass backwards fascist activities

They make me ill

#ough it’s them#i really wish they interacted more. Miranda seemed particularly sympathetic towards Cedric during the Day Of Sorcerers episode#I lowkey think she saw how her husband was treating him and tried to have a conversation with him about it but it went nowhere#basically “oh don’t worry I actually do respect Cedric as a person. Hey Cedric can you take time from your real job to babysit my kids?”#anyways yes these two are best friends. I feel like they have a good sense of humor together and joke around with each other#cedric the sorcerer#queen miranda#cedricposting

I’m kind of obsessed with this painting and others by the same artist of Black girls. it is one of the few representations of Black women in “traditional art,” for lack of a better term that shows the subject as soft, delicate and vulnerable, which are qualities ascribed to us so rarely it’s notable when it happens. It’s painted by a Ukrainian woman. I don’t have time to unpick all the complexities there, but there’s enough fraughtness between Black women and Eastern Europeans that the source of this painting is equally as surprising to me as the tenderness of subject.

this is killing me. the textile details. the light. the harmony. it’s drowning me, i’m dying. i love it so very much.

I love to see us depicted as delicate and adored, even tho I myself am an old tomboy. Black women deserve.

#this is hands down one of the prettiest paintings I’ve seen ever#holy shit#art#fav
