Vondell’s Knight sketch and references. She’s looking so good!
So you guys have been asking for some posts that highlight some positive art and I thought this art from Story War was a great example. Her stance is great and I especially love the note that basically says, “no boob plate, please.”
By the way, If you’ve not heard of Story War before you should check it out here.

Does this count because I’m quite literally crying right now
So I’m pretty sure that most people have seen this ad already, but it makes me sick in a number of ways.
Things this ad tells you:
1.) Breasts literally just there for others’ enjoyment
2.) Women are a product to be consumed
3.) Additionally, as a commodity, they can be manipulated to suit the consumer
4.) Breasts are the important part of a woman-product (you can’t see her face or any other characteristics)
5.) The only people who buy PlayStation products are men (or, anyone attracted to women but I highly highly doubt Sony is considering the queer community in this ad)

but the guy who originally said it is profiting off the song… like he’s actually making money off it.
That doesn’t excuse it in my opinion, it actually makes it worse. He’s literally making money off of the (edit: attempted?) rape of his sister. EDIT: I was unaware to where the money was going, but the issue still stands as the meme trivializes, commodifies, and makes fun of a very serious issue.
It also derives comedy from pandering to racist stereotypes. However, after I researched this a bit, the argument from reporters seems to be that censoring him would have been far worse than showing it.
I actually really do feel sick about the fact that I completely forgot where it came from. Again, I apologize.

popelizbet replied to your post: I just discovered this Tumblr and I keep covering…
“hide yo’ kids, hide yo’ boobs”? Using a racist rape meme on this blog? Really?
Hey, you’re totally right. I’m so sorry. The meme has become so widespread and decontextualized that I completely forgot its origins, but that’s not an excuse at all. Thank you so much for calling me out on it, and I feel horrible for putting that up. So sorry guys.

Omg, Christopher Hart. Breasts. Are. NOT . Muscles!
I’m starting to question if Christopher Hart has ever even seen a breast…or other human being for that matter.
[AGGRESSIVELY FLEXES BREASTS]
LADIES???
OMG IF THEY ARE MUSCLES CAN I WORK THAT SHIT OUT AND USE THEM IN A FUCKIN FIGHT CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT
“u wanna go u ltl bitch i can bench 100 lbs wit my titties do u even lift”
Oh God could you imagine how much better the world would be if breasts were hulking masses of muscles.
Women could walk down the street at night flashing cleavage and instead of being accused of “asking for it” the general message would translate as “COME AT ME BRO.”
Pregnant women would be like The Hulk. Oh God, there are so many wonderful possibilities.
Can this be a real thing? Please?
I have nothing to add except to convey my horror.

Anonymous asked: Hi there. I just wanted to let you know I think you are lovely. Because even though this blog is pointing out the hilarity of bendy spines, it's also weirdly educating? I mean this is a complimentary way because before this blog I never even thought about rubber spines and boob socks. Now I notice them, I feel kind of special to be able to think about an image and not just go 'oh boobs psh'. So thanks, I feel like I'm in the know. -eg
Aww, thanks. That’s the best possible effect this blog can have!
zealothia asked: Why don't you guys make a day to post a good example of how boobs work? Like, monday or something. Also, there is one thing that makes me rage aside from boobsocks: Pants that are not supposed to be skin thigh, showing Vgina lines, like labia and all!!! OMGG WHY
I’ve been threatening to do a Positive Posses blog for a while (There’s even stuff there if you go check out the url.) for a while, but I really like your idea. Just picking a day to highlight some really good female character designs.
What do you guys think?

I’m guessing that boobs didn’t work like that in Ancient Egypt
but idk
Maybe they gave helium breast enlargements
Eh, I’d give the ancient Egyptians a break. They had engineering and astronomy down pat, but bless their souls if they didn’t understand perspective, let alone anatomy.
-Satya
FINALLY, A CHANCE TO USE MY ART HISTORY CLASSES *EYES SPARKLE*
Egyptians actually knew anatomy very well, their style came about because they wanted to represent the human form in the most straightforward way visually possible. They wanted to show each part of human anatomy in a way that it could be visually understood immediately. For example, they always draw faces to the side because then you can see and understand that the nose sticks out— something you cannot really ‘get’ when the face is drawn from the front without a lot of shading. This is why the shoulders are from the front, but legs and, in this case, breasts, are to the side.
The reason they did that, by the way, was because they believed that otherwise the spirit of the person depicted would be left without that body part, or not remember that they had that body part. Pretty unfortunate when the afterlife was supposed to be like an entirely new life.
What’s really interesting is that this rigid representation was only used for people who mattered. If you look at how they drew slaves, you will see much more fluidity of the form, and they look much more natural.
The art minor in me had to make sure you guys saw this, cause look, art history!
-Toni
this why i love tumblr. I took art history classes and all they talked about was white people
AND, as an additional point, the boobs portrayed above are technically NOT Egyptian, they are Greek. The ballistic missile boob did not appear in Egyptian art until the later dynasties. ‘Classic’ portrayals of boobs are far more subtle and elegant - for reference, please examine any tomb or temple art created prior to the 20th dynasty. Much more subtle, and much sexier.
Also very interesting! Thanks for letting us know!
