TheNational Museum, in Rio de Janeiro, just went up in flames. There were more than 20 million objects in the museum’s collection. The building itself housed the Portuguese Royal Family, and later the Brazilian Imperial Family back in the day.
History and culture gone, just like that. All went up in flames.
This hurts so much to look at. :/
Apparently there were signs of decay all over the building, with actual wiring exposed. The museum was underfunded for the past 3 years and couldn’t afford research and maintenance.
Fund your museums or else lose your history

I apologize for being so dead as of late. I’m trying my best to focus more on college, since I have a few more months until I graduate. I really want to draw, but If I’m being honest, It’s getting increasingly difficult to draw or feel inspired to as well. It’s quite sad, but I hope to be able to get out of this rut in order to try and finish up commissions, Patreon posts and more content on my blog again!

BRO WHAT ARE LITERAL 11 YEAR OLDS DOING ON THIS WEBSITE AND ARGUING ABOUT POL O’ TICKS
imagine you’re waiting for a bus or something and a tiny unsupervised child comes up to you like “do you support the death penalty”
fictional character discourse would be more fun if we all internalized the fact that characters are narrative tools, not people. once we have that basic fact down, we can start talking about what story the author is trying to tell using these characters, whether they’re successful, whether the story itself is successful and by what means we are measuring success—which are all really fun and interesting things to discuss! but we simply cannot get to that point unless we first accept that fictional characters simply do not have thoughts, feelings, opinions, or any agency on their own. a fictional character has more in common with the fictional chair theyre sitting on than with a real person
