Amazon’s casting choices don’t reflect the true racial diversity in Tolkien’s works and are focused on tokenism over real efforts to tackle the flaws in the text and make an inclusive vision of Arda
Amazon’s one major POC actress is playing a role that canonically involves her throne and her power being stolen from her by a genocidal colonizer who wants to exterminate the religious minority she’s part of
Amazon fired their Tolkien consultant and their unsafe set conditions caused the injuries of stuntpeople
Amazon as a company is unethical, directly opposed to progressive causes, and openly emotionally manipulating viewers to get them to watch the show
Amazon has done more real harm to actual people of color and other marginalized groups than their efforts to include nonwhite actors in relatively small or stereotypical roles can address
Amazon’s promotional materials for this show treat fans of color as props to further their agenda
REPOST THIS ANYWHERE YOU LIKE AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE.
There has been no progress on personal projects because I was busy with commissions...Here is one of them, for the game Cris Tales! It was immortalised by DrCassbul, and the steampunk closet outfit is only here because it matched the colours...

the story takes place in a city called Morosis Amarica somewhere in a somewhat dystopian future, where a division of vigalente work known as heroes are outlawed. The series starts Ying Yu, also known as the infamous Panda Hero, a tank. She’s on the top of the hero society and as such forced into a team which she isn’t happy with. She’s the Bakugou/Rapheal type. Cathrine Wright is a hopeless romantic eccentric, and somewhat lazy barista. She’s also the Kitten, a low ranked perseverance hero with stupid defence. And the final member of the team is Bonnibell Thumper, a intutive, slightly cynical, star student who goes by Bonnie. And same as the rest, Bonnie has a second life as Bunny sidekick, who’s a dark take on characters like KO and Izuku Midoria. The series will be a comedy with a focus on slapstick and one liners. Despite being a show about heroes, super powers aren’t involved and video game logic will be involved. There won’t be any kickstarters but there might be merch down the line and episode one is already in developement. More Info in the links, the casting call will be updated as needed. Artsist assistance will be considered if anybody wishes to do so. The “animation” will be a colored animatic style to save time
the story was supposed to play out 1 of 2 ways:
1: ID0L finds bf and gf having wandered backstage ID0L:hey! Your boyfriend, right? Your sister has told me so much about you and your singing endevors! Hey, We have room for a guest singer tonight, would you perhaps like to help? Your girlfriend will get a front row seat~. bf:beep ID0L:skebop! bf:beebop?? ID0L:scheboop! ID0L:Ok, Let's start with a warm up (W4rm Up) ID0L:Im so glad you've decided to help out with the show. Oh! We still need to get girlfriends' seat. bf:beep bop skedoop. ID0L:Well i suppose those speakers she brings everywhere placed on the stage would be considered a front row seat. Anyways! People are rolling in, let's sing! (Cut3y) ID0L:Phew! Your sister wasnt kidding, singing with you is a rush! Skeep be bop beep bo! bf:skeed be bopop. ID0L:Alright! Everyone ready yourselves for the show stopper! (ERr0r)
or 2 which is the first one except you cut out the background change and move the front row seat technicality to the first cutscene
Ya know, i don’t get people who deny evolution cus it “would mean a non human birthed a human.” The way im going to explain it is, if you know The Ship of Theseus, and how all of it’s parts were replaced over time and now people wonder if that means if it is still the same ship or not. Imagine that, except it’s not replaced with a similar part, maybe some pieces are replaced with metal because it’s more durable, then it’s eventually all metal. Then over time, even more pieces are replaced to work on land. Eventually, you’ll have The Bus of Theseus. Think of The ship turning into a bus as one species turning into another, the remains of the original ship just went into a different way and now the bus and ship are co existing but still very different thing
BIDEN IS TRYING TO AMEND TITLE IX TO PROTECT TRANS ATHLETES.
This is currently in its open comment phase and it’s getting bombed by TERFs, surprise surprise.
If you live in the US, you can fight back by leaving your own comment HERE. Don’t get cute or make threats, just explain why you think we should protect trans kids. And for fuck’s sake if you’re not actually in the US don’t get the idea you’ll just use a fake address. This is a government form, doing so can get the entire amendment thrown out.
Spread the word!!!
the controversy on weather or not centaurs are insects leave out two things: centaurs do not have a exoskeleton, and the fact that the two beings that build up a centaur are mammals. Though i suppose since halflings do exist in these fantasy realms human builds can be put on anything so a 'insectaur' with no spine but a exoskeleton could possibly exist, in this essay I will
hi guys
I absolutely adore this game
