i find gender-nonconforming characters (specifically male gnc characters) really endearing because many times growing up i was told the things i liked or the way i did certain things was too "girly" and i had to "act like a man" when i was just being myself i hate male gender roles and having unfair expectations put on me just for being born a man so when i see a male character who presents himself in a non-manly way (i.e. he's more androgynous/feminine while still identifying as male), its very validating for me. thats partly the reason i made Camaker, to create a character that intentionally defies traditional gender norms and despite that is still strong and capable and no less of a man (also i thought a jetpack dress was a rad idea. in fact now that im typing this out i realize the idea of a male character wearing something thats both girly and extremely volatile and powerful exemplifies the idea really well) and thats also part of why ive been reblogging art of lampert from regretevator in his spring update outfit when i dont even play the game. i just think its super cool that the creators of such a massively popular game made one of its characters a canon crossdresser and its treated as completely normal without being dwelled on or joked about does this mean that i myself am gender non-conforming? i dunno, and to be honest i dont really care. i always found putting labels on myself too limiting of who i am. im perfectly fine with being a man, but above all i just want to be myself was there anything else i wanted to ramble about? uhhhhh i had a pizza slice for lunch it was pretty good. college finals are really kicking my ass right now but ill live. hmm. thats it i guess

blog i wrote on my tumblr about how much i loathe male gender norms and love male fictional characters that go against them

Fell!Hakuko's outfit and guitar were mainly based on the Rockers from Rhythm Heaven Gold. the colors i used (orange and purple) are just hueshifted from her normal outfit (blue and green), which also works since both were inspired by the drummers from Drummer Duel (has an orange and blue team). also i made her a smoker cuz of that one dialogue between her and don-chan about snake smoking from the KFAD mojo and i thought it would be funny irony Fell!Don-chan is my favorite design out of all of these. giving him spikes and a more purple color palette came first (inspired by Fuka-chan from the taiko no tatsujin web anime), but it didnt feel interesting enough, so i thought it would be really cool if he was way bigger and animalistic, like he was fell!hakuko's bloodthirsty rottweiler or something lol

i have complicated feelings about this one because on one hand it makes me sad seeing my favorite characters depressed and on the verge of death but on the other hand making angst with my favorite characters is very fun lol initially when i drew this the idea was that the events that took place in the Horror!Haltmann's Archive somehow affected the Airth where the rhythm masters reside. but after i posted it in the SiivaCord someone suggested that it could take place in a timeline where the MF Like Button failed to beat Unrestrained Hypercam during the KFAD finale. both are pretty interesting ideas i think

this one was the easiest to come up with. i already had a don-chan gijinka lying around and Swap!Hakuko is basically the same as normal hakuko just drawn as a drum lol. but ironically it also took the longest to draw because i was busy & burnt out with college work lol

thats so adorable!! i love when people so unabashedly love their interests into adulthood! and to theme your whole WEDDING around it?? so amazing :]

more or less her final design, with the biggest difference being her teeth. i thought the sharp teeth were too similar to 2011X, so i made them more rectangular, flat, and symmetrical. not only do i think more realistic teeth on horror characters is scarier than sharp teeth (in my opinion), but it fits with RHX's personality of trying too hard to be "perfect" and unintentionally making herself look uncanny

usually when i draw Tap Trial Girl (which is very often lol) she adheres closer to my own artstyle and design philosophy than in Rhythm Heaven. but for RHX i thought it would make more sense for her to look more accurate to its source material, so i taught myself to draw Tap Girl more 'on-model'. it was a bit tricky though, since i never draw any characters with necks, and doing so actually throws off my sense of anatomy lol

some concept sketches when i was still figuring her out (alt text contains some notes about her design)

thought it would be fun to make this idea into its own EXE separate from X. or i guess it would be a horrorbrew since its nintendo related?
either way, here's RHX

it would be pretty friggin sweet if someone drew them

lately on social media (especially sites like twitter and tiktok) it feels like we've kinda regressed in terms of how we treat abuse survivors. when somebody comes forward about their experience people are more concerned about scrutinizing their story for “inconsistencies” or how it will affect their favorite piece of media they happen to work on instead of actually listening and giving support. granted, there have always been people like this, and there will continue to be people like this, but it can feel like there are far more of them in recent years however, maybe it’s just my blind optimism, but i still think that these types of people are, and always will be, a vocal minority. i firmly believe that we as a society are far more supportive and empathetic that we realize. it’s just the way social media is designed that pushes negativity to the top, and as a result perpetuates an apathetic, cruel, and selfish outlook of the world and encourages people to suppress any empathy they have with irony because they equate emotion with weakness and “being cringe”

i guess this is sort of a roundabout way of saying that, no matter how alone you feel, no matter how much you feel like youre not heard, there will always be people out there that will listen, support, and help you. ive met several people who are unfortunately survivors of some truly horrible stuff being done to them. it’s sadly far more common than I had ever realized. and even worse a majority of their abusers had gotten off scot-free with little to no reprocussions. and yet they are among the most kind, passionate, and above all resilient people i know. it sickens me to know that such kindhearted people were taken advantage of and hurt in ways they never deserved, but it makes me happier knowing that despite everything they are still standing here today, living their lives and doing what they love. i wish the same for every survivor of sexual abuse, young and old 💙💙💙

more in-depth thoughts about stuff for #sexualassaultawarenessmonth #SAAM
was going to be a thread but it was too long (writing is an alt text in case you need translation)

happy autism / SA awareness month

i hope all survivors of abuse go on to live happy, fulling lives beyond their trauma. and all abusers and ableists get put inside a massive trebuchet and catapulted into the sun

i plan on redrawing this old piece in the near future cuz its kinda bad
