fluttershy redesign(?) idk all i know is fluttershy is transmasc and listens to death metal what do you want from me REBLOGS VERY APPRECIATED :3

Why the fuck are kids so mean I’m jc at a camp and I work with 6-8 year olds and we were in the art room and I was showing the counselor I was working with something that happened to me on Tumblr that I was very excited about and I was showing her the artwork that one of my favorite artist had liked that was very unpopular, and the kids decided that this would be a good time to say that my art style looked ugly and I had to keep myself calm and remember that I’m older than them and not to say anything mean but I told them how are you gonna say something when you can’t even draw princess peach good 

bro i luv spider-punk but i specifically wanna talk about his hair

he. has. wicks!!!

the origin of wick dreadlocks is florida usa, and are named due to the resemblance to a "candle wick" because of how they stick straight up and/or out!

now, wicks have a bad reputation even within the loc community.

its already known that like if you got dreads, generally, ppl think u are unkempt, and dirty, and things of that nature, but there is even more discrimination against wicks its unreal. like legit yall i cant even begin to explain the nasty shit ppl say about them because i will be sad.

its kinda just considered the "crazy Florida man hairstyle". and a lot of the hate is due to the fact that wicks, appear "unkempt" or things of that nature

there has been a lot of texturism in the loc community which has brought with it the idea that dreads need to be retwisted to be "properly" taken care of, and need to be flat on your head and all these other things that often bring with it the need to hide your natural hair. i get unsolicited advice on my hair all the time telling me "i need a retwist" because of the belief that black hair needs to be all tidy and stuff to be respected.

but the thing is, dreads aren't meant to be all neat and tidy all the time y'know. its black hair in one of its most natural forms. and who better to showcase that than hobie brown, spider punk?

wicks kinda go against everything that dreads are "supposed" to be and "supposed" to look like.

i just love everything about this movie but i especially wanted to like talk about this hair choice. hair most def has meaning, especially black hair, so i think this was a really cool and fitting design choice for his character and everything he represents.

(i did my best to like articulate my thoughts but hopefully this makes at least a bit a sense)

(no leos were harmed)

maiming is his love language
