A teenager cannot get reconstructive surgery. But a parent can circumcise a baby.

A teenager cannot get reconstructive surgery. But a parent can circumcise a baby.
A teenager cannot get body modifications. But a parent can pierce a baby’s ears.
A teenager (or even a 20 year old) cannot buy cigarettes. But a parent can smoke in places where their toddler is forced to be.
What a teenager chooses is met with stricter scrutiny than what’s forced on a very young child.

I cant go to my local libary anymore because last year when I stopped by a librarian was reading a book I wrote under a pen name years ago. This book sold under 10k copies and I’ve literally only heard people talk about this book online *if* I went looking for it so I went up to them and tried to start a conversation like “oh hey I’ve heard of that book is it good?” Like hoping for some real feedback and she goes “yeah I love reading things by queer writers” and in a moment of terror I was like “oh but- hold on, I thought the author was some old hetero white guy?!” A thing I thought because I used my own dead grandpa’s picture for the author pic because grandpa never had internet. I fake looked it up and was like “yeah if he was queer its not public?” And without looking up this absolute unit goes “oh the author bio is obviously fake. I’d bet my left leg the author is a west coast millennial non-binary queer who has never lived on the east coast.” And then proceeded to rattle off a dozen linguistic flourishes that are specfic to the pacific northwest that are in the book and several that are nearly ubiquitous in the state where I said my pen name lives that are somehow completely absent from the book.
So you know. Got read for fifth and didn’t even find out if she liked it.

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. “We’re in a loneliness epidemic” well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we’re peopled out by the time we’re done. “People are eating more and more unhealthily” people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don’t want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. “People aren’t involved in their local communities” after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. “People need to get more hobbies” after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don’t want to do anything that takes yet more energy. “Literacy is dying” to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don’t want to expend even more brainnpower. “People need to get outside more” People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn’t stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

a lot of people don’t tell you this when you’re starting to remodel your own home but occasionally under the floorboards you’ll find the entrance to an unimaginably sprawling and vast complex of underground lakes connected to each other through intricate networks of tunnels where suburbanite mermaids have set up mermaid strip malls with mermaid verizon, mermaid driving school, the mermaid liquor store, and so on. and many people will think this is a plumbing issue, but it’s actually a zoning problem

Space Monster Wangmagwi (1967) by Dopepope on Artstation.
This movie beat Yongary, Monster of the Deep to theaters by almost two months, which makes it South Korea’s oldest serving kaiju film.
I finally managed to finish this film (it took three tries) and for my money Yongary is the better of the two.
Wangmagwi’s story was just too disjointed for me; there were (not very funny) comedy bits interspersed that stopped the barely-there narrative; the monster costume looks like a quickie Hallowe'en costume your grandma slapped together with scraps of carpet; and the budget was so low that the monster stepped over buildings instead of smashing them, so those same buildings could be used for later scenes.
For me that picture by Dopepope (above) is a whole lot more impressive than the film that inspired it.
In my opinion, Space Monster Wangmagwi is only worth watching for kaiju completists.
Or if you and your friends have been drinking heavily and want something to watch. It actually might make a lot more sense then.

lmfao i am too old to be reading posts from people sincerely pissed off that their art keeps getting comparisons to one of the modern masters of illustration. oh poor baby. that must be so hard
“i hate when people compare me to other artists” your audience likely lacks the vocabulary to articulate what those similarities are and why they resonate with the art bc arts education has been in the toilet for 60 years. they are complimenting you using language available to them under a framework unique to their personal experiences. what you want is a collection of dolls with a pull string you can use to elicit specific praises.

you gotta have some grace lol
its been long enough now i can say the artist who the person who spurred this post was freaking out over being compared to was yoshitaka amano. can you imagine lmfao
