I say this because I am a feminist and body positive... Just as female characters should not be expected to be cute, bubbly and sexy all the time, male characters should not have to be strong, tough, chill and hot all the time either.

We all judged and laughed at Thor when he gained weight, but looking back on it, he was depressed and letting yourself go when severely depressed is a very common side effect. Thor has feelings. He needed help and support.

Male heroes should be allowed to look tired, get dirty, dress casually, let their facial hair grow out in between shaving, and show some of the physical side effects of being depressed or anxious.

Call me the princess of romantics, but I miss seeing on screen marriages on my favourite shows. To me, it's just a big payoff to see the couple we always knew was made for each other finally celebrate their love and stick to it, so when I see it happen, I go nuts. It's like magic to me.

You know what type of female character we need more of? One who is not meant to become a hero or anything beyond the secondary character, and she comes to accept this with grace. It's ok to be support. It's NOT a gender, it's what some characters of any gender sometimes are.

A little reminder to the fans who hate that I draw a body accurate Optimus Prime (plus sized) because they don't like the sight of him being chubby, having a big butt or him looking older....

People of any gender deserve love regardless of their body type or age. Nobody is perfect. Your body is a gift not a thing to be used or exploited, or an indicator of your worth. And frankly, why does every male MC have to be tall, muscular, hairless and thin?

@mkwizard.bsky.social

Optimus Prime being chubby and having a trucker's body rather than a Baywatch one doesn't ruin or insult his character. He was ALWAYS like that the whole time except now, we're becoming aware of it. So what? He's still a hero and he's still awesome.

Body positive applies to men too and in Hollywood, RL male actors are destroying their health, starving themselves and dehydrating themselves to look twenty and ripped. This is a cruelty and it also plants unrealistic body expectations. All so they can look good in shirtless scenes.

Is she going to captain the USS Enterprise after bribing potential voters? Girl, where did you even find this pant suit?

Mike Rogers’ wife is handing out $10 gas cards in Michigan while asking people to vote for her husband. Republicans made gas unaffordable. Now they’re offering $10 to keep them in power. #BlueWaveIn20Days

My counterargument about how-to-drawing videos that show you the right way to draw something like teeth, bodies, hair and all that is that they forget how cartoon style works. Cartoon style isn't supposed to look realistic or accurate. It's supposed to be whimsical and playful.

MK_Wizard
@mkwizard.bsky.social

I wish there were more drawing videos that were about cartoon style that aimed to embrace the realistically-incorrect, but absolutely fabulous traits in cartoon style.

I think it is really depressing if not kind of scary that a restaurant would rather use AI generated creepy and disgusting looking versions of their food rather than just take a picture of what they actually made. Like... this is lazy! It takes me a minute to do my food photos. For shame...

What next? Are restaurants going to start serving us TV dinners while expecting from scratch pricing?

You want to know what annoys me? The attitude we have towards horror art and imagery. I may not seem like it, but I actually like fantasy horror and I love survival horror games especially ones with zombies.

But if you love horror art and appreciate the thought process and symbolism behind the monster's design, you're shamed. That isn't right. The imagery you see is just a drawing, a costume or an animatronic sculpture. It's not real. It's no different from the statue of David.

MK_Wizard
@mkwizard.bsky.social

I would even argue that a lot of horror has lost its edge because the monster don't look scary enough anymore. It was my problem with the latest Wolf Man film. I want my monsters scary and doesn't make me weird. That makes me a horror fan with standards.

So... it really bothers me when people get on my case for liking it and appreciate the artistic style behind the monsters. Yes, they are ugly, gross and disturbing to look at. That is the point. Think the Thing, the Xenomorph, Sil from Species and more. They're monsters. They're supposed to scary.

MK_Wizard
@mkwizard.bsky.social

Yet appreciating that and being able to see it only as art somehow makes you not ok. And people ask you "Why do you like that garbage?" Excuse me, but it's not garbage and it's an insult to the art. Why do people get to love porn even though it can be disturbing and weird, but...

Hot take and no offense to those who like to ship, but in some fandoms, why do have to have shipping at all? What's wrong with friends just being friends or even keeping their love lives separate and private from the story we see? Platonic love is beautiful too.

I know this is unfair to say considering the state of non-indie animation these days, but the animation in Knights of Guinevere is significantly better than some of the corporate stuff that's coming out gosh Guinevere beautiful and sooooo nice to watch

Look, I myself have laughed at goofy mistakes in the beta versions of games. I'm sure creators themselves laugh at their mistakes too. I know I look back and laugh at my mistakes. What's not cool is being mean about it. A game is not going to flop just because it's beta test version was buggy.

MK_Wizard
@mkwizard.bsky.social

I mean, that is the whole point of a beta test version. To test the game first and see if it has bugs. And yes, some versions can be very buggy. That's ok. That's the time to make the most goofs. In fact, lots of great games had bad bugs that stayed even in the final version. Nothing's perfect.

Everyone, Cybeworld just lost itself a fan today. ME. What they did to Jazz and after his voice with my own ears, I was disgusted. This wasn't just a bad choice. It was total disrespect for a long time beloved, established and iconic character. I just watch this show anymore. Not sorry.

The thing I find most tragic in KoG regarding the Guinevere android is that she's only dangerous because of her trauma and very clear PTSD. She herself is not a bad person and deep down, doesn't want to hurt anyone. She just wants to be free and far from her abuser.

MK_Wizard
@mkwizard.bsky.social

Yes, I accept that doesn't make her any less safe or accountable, but the two can be true at the same time. In fact, most abuse victims, they are and Guinevere is at that phase where she can still be turned around.

Easiest apple turnovers EVER!! You make them as follows; - Take a large apple and cut into eights while removing the core - Roll the apple slice in brown sugar and cinnamon - Take a sheet of phyllo dough and brush it in olive oil, fold it in half

MK_Wizard
@mkwizard.bsky.social

- Wrap up the sugared apple slice firmly -Bake the turnovers at 350 F convection bake for 15 minutes (take them out and turn them every five minutes) - Let them cool off a bit before eating! They WILL be hot!

It's a special kind of disappointed when you watch a great video or listen to a great song, then realize it's AI. Like... why? If you were creative enough to come up with it and this idea is so cool, why NOT do it yourself or find a partner who can help you?
