40K fan art, trench warfare plus generic Russo-Franco-Polish uniforms. Also I was listening to KMFDM which gets real 40K in places. #drawing
All caps, furry “humor”

Sui mention, anger and apparently mildly triggered
All they can ever fucking do is tell people not to off themselves, look for signs etc etc, there’s nothing they ever do to MAKE LIFE WORTH CONTINUING, they’re like every other fucking adult. If I find reasons not to open my wrists that’s up to me and my immediate circle. All fucking society can offer is no healthcare, no rent control, no guaranteed housing or income, a future intended for GOOD people not me, and telling us not to off ourselves.
image, pinup art, not my art
#NotMyArt doing an image search for Mitch Byrd flushed out this anthro-hippo art for a "how to draw" book, which I hadn't previously seen but which is uh... very Mitch Byrd.
So I was thinking about the usual racist criticism of casting Black elves etc, and how as well as various dark skinned people in premodern Europe, long ago there were indigenous European PoC, like Dorians or dark skinned Scandinavians. People don’t completely disappear, are some of us their descendants? And given the age of humanity, what are chances we’re carrying around genes from ethnicities that don’t exist any more, and that some of us are connected by them despite superficial differences?
Re last boost, @D6016 i thought of you of course!
Something that bothers me with US politics looking bleak;
When Germany went full fascist, they were still a fairly NEW country and their entry into imperialism was pretty late, despite all the Nazi appeals to historicity. By contrast we’re very much a fallen empire rooted in anti-Blackness, anti-immigrant sentiment, a rugged individual myth which Germans don’t have, and outside fashy interests really pulling strings to get our domestic shit into office. Tbh I think we’re way more susceptible.
I suddenly realized that there’s no toggle switch where you’re committed to a happy ending. Instead life rolls along and what keeps you pushing through current bullshit is a sense of there being a long term, and what keeps you looking back with smiles rather than regret are memories. Which is okay! It’s just as someone with CPTSD neither long term planning nor memory are my strengths.
1. however good an artist I am gets easily confused with
2. not making money from my art, which mostly beating myself up for not being smart and brave enough to successfully push to make tons on art for bucks, mixed with running into fear of not making enough money
3, none of which is really going to be something I figure out while dealing with bad acid reflux at 0200
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
