THE PANTHEON
so i wanted to draw cool clothes on chibis so naturally i decided to go for the wicdiv pantheon (because teenage gods aw yes). Took me three days ~phew!
i tried my best and spent like two hours on a lady gaga google image search to give tara that crotch-deep cleavage meat dress luci was talking about but they all looked so horrible i just said ‘fuck it’ and came up with another outfit. maybe i’ll update this when she finally shows up. also yes i am aware that THAT is Badb and not The Morrigan but i just loved her dress the most ok AND also baphomet is a trashcan i love him.

I get why a lot of people hate the whole princess culture aimed at little girls. There’s a hell of a lot of toxic bullshit in there.
But when I was a tiny princess, my dad used to be my royal advisor. He would come to me, and over tea we would discuss the problems of the kingdom. He would tell me that new people wanted to move to the kingdom, and ask me what we should do. Or he would tell me that the teddybears and the dolls were fighting over the enchanted forest, and ask me what to do. Basically, he took the trappings of the princess culture, and used it as a tool to teach me about leadership, civic responsibility, and compassion.
So if you have a little princess around, consider helping her figure out how to run her kingdom. There’s no sense in telling a kid they can’t be a leader, or that they can’t wear sparkles while they do it.

I convinced 6 middle aged women that professed to hate action movies to go see Mad Max: Fury Road. You know how I did it? I said “The main character is a woman and she’s not sexualized at all.” And that was it. I had a whole speech prepared and I said one sentence before they all agreed to go see it. And they LOVED it. One woman saw it twice so she could bring her teenaged daughter.
All these years, all this industry moaning about how women don’t like action movies, and all it fucking took to change their minds was “The main character is a woman and she’s not sexualized.”
