GREGORY BEING PATIENT 46 MAKES ME CRAZYYYY

art dump under the cut

i originally gave him a suit but changed my mind i think he just has that hoodie snd works behind the scenes while vanny is the one in disguise among the glamrocks

i also eventually gave vanny clothes which i like a lot more, i feel like it fits way better with my other glamrock designs and makes her design way more fun

i DESPERATELY need people to understand something abt briarlight. she would not be "a little muscular". she would not be "kinda buff". she would be TIGERSTAR LEVELS OF RIPPED. fuck it, she would be STRONGER THAN TIGERSTAR. i am not fucking around. i have a cat who was born with back legs that don't function and he's so ripped it scares me. he's too powerful. he could beat me in an arm wrestle but thank God he doesnt have thumbs. his #1 weakness is an inability to jump. if he could jump we would all be dead by now. he can still clamor up soft stable objects though so he is master of the fucking couch. he keeps fighting his fat ass brother for food and Winning Every Time.

we need more catastrophically ripped briarlight in this fandom

microdosing on catharsis by watching a fictional character or persona i relate to have an emotional breakdown until my chest starts to ache from the amount i've repressed

As I’m sure you’ve all (unfortunately) heard by now, Ben goddamn motherfucking Shapiro is producing a conservative Bluey knock-off called Chip Chilla, about a homeschooling family of chinchillas — starring Rob goddamn motherfucking Schneider — and I need to talk about it.

Done throwing up yet? Cool.

This is obviously disgusting for several reasons but the thing that infuriates me the most is that the dad in this rip-off is largely absent in his kids lives and development and finds them annoying. One of the great things about Bluey is how deeply the parents (ESPECIALLY Bandit) love their kids even when they can get on their nerves or aren’t as easy to manage.

I reject the notion that playing with and loving your children is weak and lame. Bluey is revolutionary in that it dives headfirst into love for one’s family and being un afraid to express it. That’s one of the most badass and radical things that can be shown in media regardless of the age demographic, especially with the stereotype of moms being caretakers and dads finding ways to shut their kids up while the game is on.

You think you’re cool for not caring about love? You think you’re breaking new ground for not listening to your kids and caring deeply about their interests?

The problem is that Bluey is a show for families, and this pile of shit excuse of an animated series is a show for parents. Because they’re scared of educating their children to be radical with love — because what if they end up loving “the wrong people?”

These people don’t want to raise kind, compassionate and and curious humans — they want carbon copies of themselves. Congratulations, you’ve completely missed the point of parenting. Have fun at the retirement home! Repression and censorship is just delaying the inevitable. It’s love that makes people. How dare you throw it away like it’s nothing.

What’s even weirder is I feel like Bluey doesn’t even have that much about it that would make conservatives raise their eyebrows? There’s no obvious political or religious agenda in any direction, there aren’t any canon queer characters yet — none of the things in modern kids’ TV that would make a right-wing dumbass clutch their pearls and say “I could never show my innocent children something so depraved!”

It’s just. A happy family. Living their lives. Loving each other. How fucking weird and sad do you have to be to look at that and be like “hmm, no, this is not the message I want my kids to come away with.”

Anyway I know I’m probably preaching to the choir, but go watch Bluey. Go watch something made by people who care.
