Krisps For Redraw Thingies From Twitter

heh… so the stevely parable…. Am i right

I did something

okay so I’ve seen a lot of artists,including myself, make this common mistake of coloring the palm of  a hand(and the sole of a foot) as the same color as the person’s skin tone.

but in fact ,palms and soles are a different color compare to our skin

this is due to the lack of Melanin on them

hope this helps!

i made one about tftgs but here’s another one

4/27 ARTWORK

HAPPY 4/27! god, i can't believe I forgot to post this earlier, when I made it! anyways yes, today is a good day for all parables. i should make a reference sheet for my guys soon, that'll have to come during 4/32 i suppose idk. anyways HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY TO TSPUD AND HAPPY STANLEY DAY !!!

As soon as i found out that chapter 40 parallels chapter 11 (Reigen giving the brothers his portion of food to the brothers) i knew i had to draw it.

Why does TSP have so much subtle anticapitalism in it. Like. Stanley's office job is literally mind control. All the scrawls in the meeting room are about getting more money. Stanley's job is the epitome of David Graeber's theory of Bullshit Jobs. 432 too had a Bullshit Job, and because he literally couldn't do it and everyone fucking hated him, he lost his mind (and fused to the fabric of the universe about it). The Parable is an infinite loop where the Narrator wants you to go back into the loop to do the exact same thing again. When Stanley gets to the Mind Control Facility, the Narrator says Stanley wonders the only reason he ever liked his boring job was because of the mind control. Literally the office is only functional and people are only employed there because of fucking mind control. TSPUD pretty much looks directly into the camera and says "Making more sequels for the sake of sequels, for the sake of the franchise, for the sake of money, instead of because you had genuine reasons for the art to continue, for the art to say more, is a bad thing actually" and pretty much completely dissected why so many sequels and remakes suck- because they're not made for art, they're made for money (or in the narrator's case bc he's a fuckin people pleaser dnjkfksjdnfkjds). Pair this with Kevan Brighting's one tweet abt Stanley telling a cop to fuck off and die and holy shit man TSP is based as fuck

klavier being nervous about serenading apollo because serenading someone is more personal than singing at a concert for thousands of people, so he takes apollo to his apartment hoping it'll alleviate his anxiety.

cut to apollo and klavier at klavier's apartment and klavier's hands are shaking before he even strums the first chord and apollo has to help him relax but once klavier starts he's incapable of stopping and starts wondering why he ever had anxiety about it in the first place, because apollo's watching him with so much affection in his eyes and god why didn't he do this sooner, apollo's joining in now and klavier's the happiest he's been in years

Mental Health in Media - Lacey

The Lacey Games series is an interesting webseries, first presenting itself as a lost flash game upload, then presenting itself as a horror series, and finally showing its colors as a heartfelt piece about trauma.

*Heavy topics below, proceed with caution.*

Through mainly Lacey's Diner and Lacey's Petshop, it is shown that Lacey has suffered CSA and neglect from her uncle, starting at a young age. But this is found under a layer of 2000s-style flash games, presenting the perfect looking Lacey in a upbeat 2000s girl life. But of course, with this genre, the deeper you get into the game, the more the truth is revealed.

In other series following similar formats, this transition is used to amplify the feeling of the unexpected; taking something innocent and turning it into something horrific. But the Lacey Games series adds many more layers to this. You see, Lacey is an in-universe stand-in for the creator of the fictional games, Rocío Yani, who like Lacey, is a survivor of this trauma. In the cases of both Rocío and Lacey, they've already escaped their abusers. Lacey is a chef, a pet shop owner, and goes about her day to day life within these flash games. But despite escaping her physical situation, her past always leaks into the present. In Lacey's Petshop, she returns to the house she grew up in -- the house she was abused in. Just because she has escaped her abuse doesn't mean she's escaped her trauma or the ways that effects every other aspect of her life. And so, so many pieces of media don't recognize this.

Lacey also isn't the "perfect victim" that media likes to portray abuse survivors -- especially CSA survivors -- as. The whole climax of Lacey's Petshop is that she killed her uncle, her abuser. Not because she was actively trying to escape, but because he killed her dog. Lacey's Diner also implies that Lacey (and by extension, Rocío) deals with substance abuse, another thing that media discussion mental health loves to demonize. After she escapes her uncle, she still has these destructive habits, she still deals with self-h4rm and su1cidality. She wasn't just some innocent girl, she was a human being who had everything taken from her.

I believe the Lacey Games series can be powerful to people who have survived what Lacey has. Society and media recognize and accommodate victims until they break the mold of a "victim". Trauma doesn't go away with the situation, it persists throughout one's life and seeps into aspects that could otherwise seem normal. And the thing that makes this worse is the constant demonization of the "imperfect victim". We may not be killing our uncles or baking various health-violating items into food like Lacey does, but feeling like shit and going through shit doesn't make you a horrible person.

Thank you for reading. I wasn't quite sure how to end this, so I just did. If I got anything wrong, please make sure to tell me!
