we are in a media literacy crisis
friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.
IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:
We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.
It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.
So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.
You're correct:
Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.

i just recently turned 24! the past year was one of the toughest years i've ever experienced, and its also a year where i've also been the most present in my day to day. people have told me of the benefits in being present and more consciously involved – and so much of it comes with feeling pleasure and peace to the fullest, and feeling pain and sorrow the same way as well. because i've been actively healing, so much of my past self feels like it has melted in these past few months, and have coalesced to form something new and beautiful and i think that's really cool 🦋🌷✨ so here's to another year of keeping that up and keeping witness to the flow of this body and this life – and as always, thanks for sticking around. 💖
Your doorbell camera detected a werewolf! Are you opening the door?
It's Raha though, so keeping her outside is probably the best choice
Raha tried her best, and it's the most important thing
I've got many more werewolf comics on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ndc1992
The man in the comic is named Glenn and he's Pumpkinski's character and has a cameo here as a Patreon reward >:)
All of a sudden, guests appeared on your doorstep. Would you let them in? - and other spooky arts of mine that I put into one post! Undead creatures, lots of bones and some blood are included.

A lot of these arts are related to my OC Heather and her world: https://www.tumblr.com/nataliedecorsair/660503183111667712/dude-let-me-in-you-know-heather-is-a-lady-and

anyway i just thought it'd be funny if donnie didn't know how to talk to kids and that 'kids' involved everyone below the age of 16
I recently discovered @somerandomdudelmao and I love her rottmnt apocalyptic series so much, so I decided to try to animate the moment with Donnie and Spirit Leo (?) from the last update
It's a bit different because I'm not very good at replicating stuff but I hope it's ok
