Self Insert For Arcane.

Self insert for Arcane.

I’ve NEVER had so much trouble and spent so much time on a piece. It’s technically not done since I wanna add two character studies to it (smaller pieces with diff facial expressions n what not), but I thought it’d post on here rather than my insta for now since it’s not done.

“You’re More than you Know”

Was gonna submit this for my distract’s high school art competition but didn’t. Was a bit complicated to submit especially when I don’t go to an actual school.

From a bi:

Tea-good both hot and cold

Beer-terrible

Coffee-very good

Fruit juice-good

If ur lgbt reblog this and give me ur opinion on tea, beer, coffe and fruit juice

My submission for this years owl fanart contest

I thought using Sombra’s Zhulong skin was fitting since it’s the newest league skin. Fingers crossed I’m one of the winners 🤞

In regards to Cole Cassidy’s introduction, I’d like to say something to the people who are going to refuse to change, think this is ridiculous or some distraction tactic by Blizzard that doesn’t solve anything.

I am someone who has suffered from PTSD as a result of childhood trauma. If you don’t know, PTSD is an anxiety disorder that is common in victims of SA, but it’s more often than not associated with war veterans.

I’d like to give an example of how something as small as a name could have a huge impact.

I am a big fan of the MCU and when I learned that Tony Stark’s first name was Anthony. I felt a weird (and irrational) sensation of pain and betrayal. It was a moment where I felt my heart stop and ache in pain. Why you ask? That was the same name of the man that ruined my childhood. That ruined me and threatened to hurt my mom in violent fights that involved the police on several occasions. I was suddenly brought back to all of that just by hearing his name. I am a logical person. I know that the two are completely unrelated but that small link is enough to make me pause, to make my breath hitch in my throat and my heart race.

Cassidy is different, his previous name was after this man because people thought that man was so great that he deserved it. To be immortalized in one of Blizzard’s most successful properties. Some of the players may not know that but the people that work at Blizzard know it. The victims know it and to hear his name screamed and shouted in Overwatch league with cheers and excitement, in videos on YouTube, on Twitch, in countless amounts of merchandise. It might feel inescapable for them.

The character and the awful man that committed those atrocities are not the same person. Not in personality, appearance, or anything but they do have the same name and having that name continued to be associated with positivity must be heartbreaking for the victims.

I support Cole Cassidy’s name change. I know that this does not fix anything that has happened. This does not compensate for the awful experiences and memories the victims are left with but I feel like it is a nice gesture in the very least and I feel like it’s incredibly insensitive and selfish to not follow the change because “I don’t like it” or “the other was better”
