Oh Btw I Know Many Artists Are Having Quite Some Trouble With The RCDART Drama Its Going Around, So I

Oh btw I know many artists are having quite some trouble with the RCDART drama it’s going around, so I want to remind you all:

Exaggeration can be done well

You don’t need a realistic style to be a good artist

Is ok if your art is soft and round

It’s ok if your art isn’t incredibly detailed

The issue people have with RCDART and the reason why we laugh at them is their transphobia, trans fetishization and racism under a poor excuse of “my style”, and how this issue morphed their style into a bad example of exaggeration and cartoon-like style.

I send message after message, waiting.

One finally comes - an apology.

And I break.

Each apology blurs my vision and feels like a knife twisting in my chest.

Each lackluster Canadian sorry feels like a hot iron pressed into my stomach.

Each sorry makes me want to leave. Take that as you will.

I send message after message, waiting.

None ever comes.

And I stop.

a mood

just a reminder:

kids and teens are allowed to be angry without having that anger dismissed as a “tantrum” or “hormones”. they’re allowed to be angry with adults, including their parents and teachers, without being dismissed as “disrespectful”.

they’re allowed to be sad without being dismissed as being “moody” or “whiny”. they’re allowed to feel resentment without being dismissed as “ungrateful”. they’re allowed to be uncomfortable without being dismissed as “oversensitive”.

they’re allowed to feel restless without being dismissed as “badly behaved”. they’re allowed to feel lonely without being dismissed as “attention-seeking”. they’re allowed to be tired without being dismissed as “lazy”.

young people’s emotions are valid, despite the fact that our language has an entire vocabulary designed to make them feel otherwise.

Doing these was so much fun! Feel free to share and try them yourself~

i want to hide the embarrassment of trying and getting nowhere
