the avntirine slave brand tattoo somebody got reminds me of the ast*r*on BG3 slave brand tattoo some1 got
& that reminds of all the weird shit marvel fans (& creators) do with Bucky
like it goes beyond fan tattoos (of the literal symbols added to his chara design when enslaved by Nzis to the muzzle motifs & the mindcontrol codewords) but there's like mass fan&creator view on the chrctr that keeps wanting him reverted back to how he looked as a slave bc they made it "iconic" & hate it if a new comic/movie/show/game ever has Bucky to change his look to look like his pre-Nzi-slavery self (no rlly, the fans get really angry if this happens)

and it can't just be blamed onto fans bc the way the creators use their alt-version of WW2 for Bucky(&Steve's) backstory + downplay/dismiss his enslavement by factions/splinters of the in-universe Nzi party creates such weird takes in newer sequels
like it doesn't matter if one of the Nzi-connected characters on-screen tortures Bucky and mindcontrols him, the creators don't take it seriously and will later have the same character get "lovable" moments and joke abt what he did and have a dancing scene that gets giffed for funnies (& the fans do the fandom thing & make it even worse IFYKWIM) all bc the franchise really doesn't take the fact that Bucky was enslaved srsly and lowkey blames him for it

& as a result the entire fandom (most creators writing new installments) act like "Bucky" character design (& personality) should be forever kept in limbo to the time he had no personality & was mindcontrolled, they tattoo the in-universe Nzi codewords they tortured him with,
act like it's a "loss" when Bucky gets a real prosthetic & replaces the "iconic" WS metal arm that the Nzis sloppily & painfully grafted onto him (the arm he only had while enslaved that fans have tattooed to hell and back),
they even act like Bucky should forever keep his hair like how his Nzi slavemasters had it & get actually mad if Bucky wears his hair like his pre (&immediately post)slavery days,
act like he should always dress like he's fresh out of the Nzi slavemasters' cryopods (or somehow wear the exact same Winter Soldier years even a decade after the fact somehow),
& most importantly they get mad if Bucky ever references/displays his actual history & personality & isn't just a blank slate mindcontrolled Winter Soldier to project whatever bland ideas onto

& unfortunately many many writers editors and execs agree with these fans (& act like Bucky's mindcontrol-enslaved self is the real him & he should be blamed for it) and thats why Bucky's character has been cooked for years & completely fell off in popularity bc his chrctr arc was abandoned in favor of this, & there's rlly no fixing his character anytime soon bc it's been happening for a long time

hi! \o/ i find this edit of yours beautiful !!
https://twitter.com/myunjins/status/1786834188865249300

however i did notice the nose angle is a bit off as it appears flatter compared to the rest of the face composition which is a 7/8 face pose and would like to give constructive criticism. you might want to push the middle of the nose just a bit to the left to give a better sense of depth and fit with the 7/8 angle

would like to see more edits from you in the future btw :D you do candace sm justice i love the nose and lip ring you gave as well as the mole ^^ followed you just for this

Hi I'm sorry if this treads any bounds, there's an artist called @Gnarlypzofbread who is currently growing a platform for his aventurine x acheron ship, when he got one hate comment he posted it and it's still doing numbers hours later, but it's beginning to show his true colors as he's liking homophobic comments, one having the f word in particular, while talking about how he has "ppl of all sorts" defending him, actively backstabbing the lgbts that are on his side. Just wanted to bring awareness as his platform is growing, as is the gall of some of these followers
