honhonhon:
So many people have asked me for character design tips over the past couple of years. Here’s a whole list of rules I keep in mind with my own character designs.

rosalarian:
Whenever I complain about how females are portrayed in mainstream superhero comics, inevitably half a dozen people pop up to tell me this:
“Men are idealized in comics, too.”
Yes. Yes they are. I am aware of this. While I think the idealism is harmful, that isn’t actually what I have a problem…
Make sure you read the very last paragraph (at least).

"It's not the pants" It's not just the costume...
dcwomenkickingass:
A few weeks ago I wrote a post decrying people saying that Wonder Woman’s classic bathing suit costume look like something a stripper or a prostitute would wear. It’s not that I am particularly enamored of the old costume. It’s more that I am tired of people trying to tie the amount of skin a woman shows to her sex life.
While I’m not huge fan of the classic costume, I’m also...

microaggressions:
If I should mention, for any reason, if it’s asked, if it just comes up in conversation, that I’ve taken multiple self defense classes, the response that I almost always get from men, from friends, family, from my boss, is some variation of “oh, well, I could still snap you like a twig, you silly,…

“But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things. They wonder aloud how the snowplow driver gets to work, or how the makers of dictionaries look up the spellings of the words. Yet there is the constant desire to find some point in the twisting, knotting, raveling nets of space-time on which a metaphorical finger can be put to indicate that here, here, is...
Happy Thanksgiving (USA)
I sometimes forget that Thanksgiving is a North American holiday (celebrated in October by the Canadians and in November by Americans). And even though there;s a lot of talk about the food for T-day, there is also a lot of discussion about what we’re thankful for.
Thanksgiving, to me, provides a nice pause before the Christmas holiday rush, and reminds me to be thankful for what I have and...

– -Terry Pratchett, Hogfather. (via slightly)
One of my favorite quotes ever. Unsettling to think about at first, but in the end, it makes a heck of a lot of sense. After I finished Hogfather, I pretty much dove head first into rest of the Discworld series. Some were poignant. Some were note so...
"Why do you go away?...
enajcosta:
…So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
- “Hat Full of Sky,” Terry Pratchett

“It was, as I have said, a fine autumnal day; the sky was clear and serene, and nature wore that rich and golden livery which we always associate with the idea of abundance.

“I love everything about fall. I love sipping coffee while watching leaves fall from the trees. I love unexpected autumn romances. I love when the leaves begin changing into various beautiful colors. The colors remind me of a painter’s palette. I love raking leaves and then jumping into the piles….
