Broke: The fact that Goncharov lights Andrey’s cigarette for him, with his own cigarette, with a hint of great affection, in a scene under the rainfall, symbolises his longing for the - entirely fictional - life he believes Andrey might offer him. And the fact that both of their cigarettes go out in a few seconds foreshadows how this destructive desire will ruin them both.
Woke: The cigarettes go out because they’re standing in the rain with no umbrellas. It symbolises the fact that they’re both really fucking stupid
more than 1,000 russians were arrested in protests in 44 cities over the last six hours. some well-known activists were preemptively arrested as they left their house; others were arrested as soon as they unfurled placards. by the looks of it, there were large protests in st. petersburg. over 100 local government officials signed a letter opposing war, and over 170 journalists and intellectual figures signed a similar letter. this is a promising sign, but it’s feeble. as war drags on, protests will grow.
russian civil society is battered and demoralized; its most prominent figures have either been murdered or jailed. i predict that russia will become “totalitarianized” in the coming weeks, with full control over the internet and social media. it isn’t clear how extensive this will be, or how quickly it will happen. already, moscow’s largest theater announced that anyone disrupting the performances to say anything about the war will be arrested for treason. this has severe ramifications for what the postwar occupation of ukraine will look like
everyone saying “please” in the tags we’re gonna get through 2022 together and by god we’re gonna do it with bowls of our favorite soup to keep us company and happy
Are you a vampire person or a werewolf person? Are you a latte person or a cappuccino person? Horror or scifi? Denim Jacket or Leather jacket? Spring person or fall person?
sorry to be cringey but can we stop this idea that every furry is a sex hungry freak that likes bestiality and has really disturbing kinks. being a furry is just thinking anthropomorphic animals are interesting and cute. theres nothing inherently sexual about being a furry. just because someone says “im a furry” they arent necessarily confessing to you how they get horny for foxes with tits or diapers on dogs or something. so when u see someone make a fursona or draw an anthro animal, dont immediately think “they wanna fuck animals”. sometimes its just that….anthro animals….are fun to draw.
basically,
literally what is so bad about this
Also a lot of furries are literal children
Also, furries are one of the best and most generous when it comes to supporting artists. When they commission an artist to draw something, they as a group tend to pay the best rates and be the most reliable.
Which is like? Firstly, not a surprise that something steeped in alter-ego resonates for queer people, especially trans people.
And secondly, also super not surprising that it’s a community that is massively oversexualized and denigrated as sexually deviant. Like, js it’s a tale as old as time to target an overlapping interest group as a guise to target a minority demographic.
And targeting sexual shaming at queer-dense populations, hah! HAH, I’m not surprised.
I’m not even goddamn kidding, seriously. A huge chunk of bullying directed at the furry community is just socially acceptable queerphobia.
Don’t forget that a lot of furry hate is just rebranded hatred for autistic people, who are a decent sized chunk of the furry community.
This blog loves and supports furries!!
Plus even the kinky people at least actually pay artists. I’d much rather someone offer me 100 dollars to draw Judy Hops flashing titties even if I say no than have some Karen ask me to draw her little snotnosed kid “as a favor”.
Plus, we’re on tumblr. Ypu have mutuals who want to fuck pennywise. Stones, glass houses.
yellow is generally the population’s least favourite colour which is interesting to me. i have a theory that yellow is generally more appealing to people the Less saturated and deep it is, the more warm and less cool it is, and that faded pale yellow is more pleasing to the eye than mustard. can you all participate in a casual experiment and tag or reply with which shade you like best from this yellow shade chart. i’m hypothesising daffodil will be popular as an answer
