every day men leave their homes with no bag, no water bottle, no lip balm, no hand sanitizer, no extra layer in case they get cold, just keys and a wallet shoved into their pocket. chaotic and reckless
So I noticed that someone tagged my last pride arrows as being eye straining. Since I didn’t have the old line art anymore, I made some new ones in pastel colours! If they’re still a bit straining on the eyes I can edit them to be lighter! Also, if there is another flag you’d like to see incorporated into this design, just ask!
If you would like to use these for anything please message me. I’d just like to know where it will be used and what for!
There is a specific and terrifying difference between “never were” monsters and “are not anymore” monsters
“The thing that was not a deer” implies a creature which mimics a deer but imperfectly and the details which are wrong are what makes it terrifying
“The thing that was not a deer anymore” on the other hand implies a thing that USED to be a deer before it was somehow mutated, possessed, parasitically controlled or reanimated improperly and what makes THAT terrifying is the details that are still right and recognizable poking out of all the wrong and horrible malformations.
hey I totally fucked up and forgot the 3rd type, which is “Is Not Anymore And Maybe Never Was” monsters
“The thing which was no longer a deer and maybe never was” implies a creature that, at first glance, completely appears to be a deer, but over time degrades very slowly until you realize (probably too late) that it is not a deer anymore, and had you seen it in this state first, you wouldn’t have recognized it as a deer at all, and there’s a decent chance that it was never actually a deer to begin with but only a very good mimic, and what makes this one scary is the slow change from everything being right to everything being wrong, happening slowly enough that you don’t even notice it until its too late, as well as the fact that something now so clearly not a deer could have fooled you to begin with.
No idea if this commentary adds anything or not but since monsters are generally couched in terms of danger and threat, and therefore fear, in my mind these posts broke themselves down kinda like this:
The “was not a deer” monster speaks to fear born of deception, dangers that approach under the guise of familiarity, with varying levels of success to infiltrate the familiar before lashing out
The “not a deer anymore” monster speaks to fear born of coercion. Whatever it is was once familiar and perhaps even comforting but through the action of another agent the familiar has become grotesque and dangerous.
The “…and maybe never was a deer” monster speaks to fear born of self-doubt. Most people spend most of the time in a sense of vague assurance that they’re doing the right thing, or at least a right thing, in the situation they find themselves in. This fear lies in the danger of *thinking* you understood, only to be eviscerated by the cruelty of “no…you were never correct, and this is your consequence.”
Aphobes : Stop encouraging minors to identify as asexual uwu because its okay if minors dont have sex during their teenhood and later have sex it does not make them asexual uwu
Also aphobes : *Insult and mock ace minors by calling them “turbo virgins” and telling them to get laid*
Don’t forget classics like “Ugly teenager: I think I’m asexual” and “Imagine thinking your family is abusive for making fun of you bc you don’t wanna FUCK that’s normal response lol”

#GeordiLaForge, portrayed by @LeVarBurton was born in Mogadishu, Somalia? I guess “will be born” is more accurate since that won’t happen until 2335.”
