you gotta be able to say "die"
you gotta be able to say "suicide"
you gotta be able to talk about "sex"
they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE
because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.
even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"
like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.
huggable boy!..
Hey you ever think about The Characters so much to the point where
Heartbeat by Childish Gambino but it's The Traveler
Why? 'Because why not!
So I was rambling to some friends yesterday about how I really dislike Sparks' (that one dragon from Paw Patrol's 'Rescue Knights' subseries) design, right?
Like he's cute and all, fits the kids show aspect of things as well as Spinmaster's toy marketing. But it utterly irked me how his wing webbing technically isn't correct, the yellow underbelly seems a bit too bright, and his horns and brows being this random dark purple color that doesn't really fit with everything else. So, what was the outcome of this rambling, you might ask? Me, on a whim, taking it upon myself to redesign Sparks!
I was originally going to keep his primary red color until I received some input on the palette I was working with and switched it up to this orange that I was pretty happy with! I wanted to pick some sort of yellow to pay homage to his name, Sparks, but I went with the alternative and gave him some bolt-ish markings instead. Fixed his wing webbing too because.. Yeah. The only thing I really kept were his green eyes, albeit altered so they didn't look.. Swampy?? I guess?? Just overall, I'm happy with how this turned out, and I hope other people are as well! Alt ver. without wing
Intro reboot, here we go!
My name is Adler, but I also go by Rasmus, as well as a few other nicknames my friends have given me over the years. I'm a fresh adult furry who just graduated high school last year (class of 2024) and is still trying to find their place in the world. I fixate on some medias a little too easy and get stuck on it for weeks or months at a time, and i'm not sure if it's just a silly me thing or if it's some hidden neurodivergency working its magic (for context, i'm undiagnosed and the neurospiciness runs rampant in my family). I enjoy creating art, telling stories, and interacting with other people who share similar interests!
