p.s. tagging these things as ‘SKIP revamped’ because that tag is so corny I adore it
Object head meme no.3- something in your bedroom
I’ve had this mask on my bookshelf for an age and a day and I’ve never had the excuse to use it for anything, so why not this!
I actually quite like the idea of fitting this character in the SKIP AU as a ghost- he (was) the manager of a new theatre but was murdered at the opening gala and our detective-vampire combo have to solve the mystery, but he can’t tell them who did it because the assailant was also wearing a mask! Obviously.
Mind you, even when they solve it he’s not going to leave the theatre until it becomes a great success; and what better publicity than its very own ghost?! Also it would be handy having an informant on cases who is a member of the deceased themselves :|b
First time I ever drew Arthur and of course he’s a flippin’ vampire bat.

the asl sign for “transgender“ is basically the same as the sign for ”beautiful“ but signed at the chest instead of in front of the face.
so that’s cool.
this is my imperfect not-a-fluent-signer understanding but:
(based on a presentation by a deaf trans guy i was at in 2005 where he was promoting that sign)
it seems like that sign was invented and implemented by trans people over the last 10-ish years. before that the predominant vocabulary was “sex change” and then some deaf trans people were like “yo fuck that” and came up with the current sign, which starts off with the sign for “myself,” then motion that indicates both change and coming together, and ends with the closed hand held against the sternum.
and in the process it also mimics the sign for “beautiful”
and because of spatial grammar, things closer to the front of your body in ASL are generally more vital, more emphatic, more immediate, more present.
so it’s actually a case where the word coherently indicates “beauty” and “self transformation” and contains hints of the complete thought of “my self transforming, through a coming together of disparate factors, into something more real, immediate, and vital than I was before.”
so yeah. that’s just fuckin’ awesome.
and that’s just the way to express that concept now.

So… while you probably already knew this was a thing that happens, it made me smile to see SKIP playing on the VFS building on the way to class.

AND you got it on a smear frame! Wow that’s cool, I did see the screens on the fancy new building (which is super gosh so snazzy) but I didn’t catch my own film on them!

YOU’RE SMART AND I LIKE YOU FOR GETTING THAT WITHOUT ME TELLING YOU EXPLICITLY
BTW I’ve been getting a lot of super super kind sweet messages lately and I feel like an ass because I haven’t had time to answer them all (and a lot have been anon so I don’t want to spam) but I really do appreciate every single one and I’m so honoured that you guys feel I’m worth spending the time to write such lovely things to ;u; thank you
