So I didn’t know if I wanted to reblog this or just stare longingly at it for hours on end BUT THEN my obsessive staring led me to DISCOVER SOMETHING!! so I’m gonna reblog this gifset and talk about it!

And I’m sure other people on the vast internet have already reached these conclusions but I feel proud of myself for observing things so there.

I probably would have reached the following conclusion earlier but I was distracted by omg what kind of coffee thing is that and WHY HAIR SO BEAUTIFUL and FUCK YOU STOP WITH YOUR FACE GOD DAMMIT

OKAY SO: check out that shirt button in the first and fourth gifs. That is way too goddamn big for a shirt button and also the buttonhole is not right and wtf placket where??? weird shirt??

Also check the thickness and drape of the fabric at Our Boy’s wrist there, that’s not his usual starchy high threadcount cotton, I am guessing from the way it catches light that it’s silk. 

So I was staring like a crazy person and thinking what the fuck is up with that shirt and it hit me

It’s not a shirt

IT’S JAMMIES

The Ravenstag!

wouldn’t you know it, the first fullbody portrait I finish in the Hannibal fandom is of the fucking deer. :p But yes here he is in all his elky glory, ready to stomp all over Will’s tender mind. Hooray!

imagine a haunting and terrifying bugle echoing through your head, through the night, all night every night

until you don’t remember what real dreams are

until you start to see it when you’re awake

and you don’t know if you’re really awake

and then

you see it look right at you

wake up wake up wake up

Teavana is one of the most prolific online tea sellers, selling their loose leaf tea blends to millions across the world. Pitching their products as healthy, organic, and safe, the brand has been sought by Starbucks Co. to acquire the brand. The Glaucus Research Center tested 13 of Teavana’s tea’s and found:

• Pesticides Abound. 100% of the tea samples contained pesticides, many of which are classified by the EPA as Possible Human Carcinogens. One of Teavana’s most popular and expensive teas, Monkey Picked Oolong, was the most contaminated with 23 pesticides. 
• Teas Violate US Law. 100% of the tea samples violate U.S. food pesticide standards (CFR Title 40 sect 180), meaning they are ‘adulterated’ under the FDCA and subject to federal seizure. We believe Teavana will recall its adulterated teas rather than risk the civil and criminal liability it may incur by knowingly selling adulterated products over Black Friday weekend. 
• Broad Failure of EU Pesticide Tests. Contrary to Teavana’s representations in its SEC filings, 77% of the tea samples failed the European Union pesticide import standards (EC 396/2005) for dry teas, meaning that such teas would be banned from sale to consumers in the European Union. 
• Banned Pesticides. 62% of teas tested showed traces of the pesticide Endosulfan, which has been banned by the US, China, the EU and 144 other countries because its use may impair fertility, cause harm to unborn children and other damage to agricultural workers.

The study also found that Teavana’s claims that their teas are organic is also a lie, only one of the teas tested qualify as organic or European organic. Read the rest of the report here. 

Is this legit?

Also not to totally play devil’s advocate, but this study took place in November 2012 before they were acquired by Starbucks and several teas had their recipes changed and several new ones were made…

Granted, that doesn’t mean those might not have the same problems but who knows.

I haven’t been into a Teavana in probably two years so I don’t know if they’ve undergone major changes since the buyout, BUT:

given the long history of aggressive and unethical sales tactics and the high potential for a hostile and unsustainable work environment, constant poor reviews from former employees, and my own customer experience of receiving stale tea and more than once trying samples that were not labeled as containing nut allergens (THANKS A FUCKING LOT, ASSHOLES), pesticides are like…the least of my problems with Teavana. They would need to make a huge transformation (like sailor moon level transformation, seriously) in order to ever get any of my money again.

oh gosh hi, I’ve gotten an influx of followers in the past week or so! What the heck! (Thanks Hannibal fans! we’re all in this murderboat together!) But yes I figured I should write some sort of overview so you have a rough idea of who I am and what I blog about? so yeah, here it goes!

I am: an artist in my 20s, a genderfluid lazy femme person (she/her pronouns are fine by me but also I’m not picky so), in a pretty great relationship with my creative partner who I usually refer to as Girlfriend and wow hey now we can actually get married in the state where we’re living! Exciting!

I care about: queerness, the intersection of race and a lot of things, mental health, paganism, tea (no you don’t understand I have a tea problem), history, cooking, art and the people who make art, the magical type of community and relationship that is forged in the fires of the internet and a metric ton of hot people who are involved in media of which I am a fan. 

So um I guess my blog is like half fandom stuff half social justice stuff these days? It’s really supposed to be more of an art blog but it’s such a grab bag. 

Oh another major thing: Girlfriend and I have been writing a serialized supernatural murder mystery novel for over two years now, and it lives at  Berlin Confidential, and that’s where a lot of my illustration energy goes. It is exciting and embarrassing to see the progress I’ve made over the course of this story, and I still have so far to go! Anyway I’m well aware that tumblr is a pretty crappy platform on which to publish a long work of fiction but if you’re interested, give it a look!

Also I tag for triggers in posts I reblog or write, I try to keep the general bases covered but please do let me know if there’s anything in particular you need to not see!

Feel free to send me an ask about anything at all like what the heck is this paganism business all about or you know whatever I just really like striking up internet friendships that is just how I roll!

I speak in a bizarre combination of tumblr dialect and midwestern grandma (oh gosh jeez god love ‘em) and cussing like a sailor so my tags are, subsequently, pretty bizarre. One of these days I’ll make a coherent tag list. BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

Anyway that’s me, I hope you enjoy your days, everyone!

What exactly does “normal” to dark skin mean? So dark skin isn’t normal? Dove is fucked up.

What the hell

yeah my friend showed me this and what can i do

2013, every body.

Ok. I’m convinced that bottles of DOVE LOTION and it’s distributors are racist fucks.

plus dove sells skin-lightening products in a lot of countries

Dove are also owned the same company who owns lynx
 (google ‘the lynx effect’ for your daily dose of misogyny) Dove are evil fucks

but guuuuuuuys ~*~real beauty campaign~*~!!!!!!!

I say this all the time when some white feminist talks about dove’s ‘real beauty’ campaign. They’ve been peddling skin lightening cream to desis for years

^real talk

they’re racist, use misogyny to sell products and they also torture animals. yay!!

oh hey guess who is so utterly done, it is me.

My, isn’t it awkward that you just fuckin recycled a nearly 40 year old article to shit on this latest generation?

Recession. Student debt. Etc. Lots of people smarter than me have already had some excellent commentary on this (here and here and  here not to mention all the great Tumblr commentary).

But I do want to say:

Of all the images you could have picked, you chose one of a teenage girl taking a selfie.

Because of course, girls who have been taught nothing else by their elders except that their appearance is what matters are the reason we are all lazy and narcissistic.

Fuck off. You fucking made us. You raised me and my sister and my female cousin and millions and millions of girls to be self-conscious and obsessed with making ourselves look pleasing to men. You taught us that that was our only worth. And now you shit on us for it.

FUCK OFF, TIME.

thiiiiiiiiis

Hey look I drew my VERY OWN FANART. I am not very practiced obviously but I’m learning. Had kind of a weird semi-stressful night so this was a nice detox.

I kinda made this for theyoungdoyley because it’s her birthday! Happy birthday Doyle! I hope it is NOT filled with cannibal picnics.

I can’t get over the MUG, of all things, because in case you can’t read it it says “#1 Profiler” and I am dead, dead I tell you. 

oh holy hell.

I know this has been done to death already but ~*S-SENPAI?!*~

oh gosh oh man oh gosh also I HAD TO DRAW SOMETHING haaaaa Happy Birthday Jenn!!

I’m probably going to lose followers for saying this, but I honestly don’t care, because if we don’t agree on this point then you’re probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Fandom artists and writers don’t owe you a damned thing. We create fanworks because we want to….

Reblogging for some current relevance but I’d go so far as to amend it to “artists and writers,” it doesn’t matter if it’s fandom or not. If someone is creating work because they love it, because it’s a story they want to tell, that is a fantastic and laudable thing. Especially, ESPECIALLY if they are not getting paid to do this for a living. Especially if people are putting their heart and soul and health on the line to bring their baby into the world. 

I’m not saying there is not place for analysis and critique of creative works. Once you put art into the world it doesn’t just live inside the creator’s head, and it’s absolutely worthwhile to take a look at other perspectives and how your work affects other people, and if the meaning or the message is somehow deviating greatly from what you wanted your work to be, there’s probably room for changes. 

BUT. 

Critique is not the same thing as scores and scores of people asking the same question, rudely, over and over again. That is wearing someone down. That is useless, and it shows that the people asking the question can’t be bothered to find things out on their own, even if the research effort is limited to “hey, I wonder if anyone has asked this before?”

Because it has been asked before. And it has been answered before. And this is where people get all offended and start tone policing and going “well gosh I was just asking a question why did you respond so harshly? I JUST WANT TO KNOW!”

Tough shit. People respond harshly when you are the thousandth person to ask them that same fucking question, and that question might be “why do you write about queer characters so much?” or “Where are you from?” or “what are you?” or “why do X people act this way?”

Because it’s not just one person asking a question they could easily answer on their own, through research. It’s is every. single. person. who asks the same question. So yes, people get pissed off having to carry that weight all the time. And people have every right to just straight up NOT ANSWER YOU. 

Because we don’t owe you, and we don’t answer to you. Our job is to live our lives and do what we do and make what we make and try to take care of ourselves as best we can. And sometimes that means that you might want someone’s attention, or conversation, or explanation, and you’re just not going to get it.
