at the risk of sounding like a boomer i dont get gooning
like is it just jacking it multiple times a day or is there something im missing here
From what I understand it originally referred to a specific fetish, but it got stolen and is now just the new way to call someone something akin to "porn addict", "degenerate" or anything else to that effect.
To talk about the original fetish though, from what I understand it's a response to all the "porn addiction" hysteria. Basically, the idea that consuming this content can turn you into some sort of brain-dead pleasure drone who only wants to keep consuming. Essentially, Gooners (the fetishists themselves) are a bunch of people who think that it would be really hot if porn addiction was a real thing. I've seen it compared to hypno, except instead of another person it's the content itself that is doing the hypnosis. The whole idea of getting a bunch of monitors and having porn on all of them, or hiding away in a "goon cave" isn't actually about the porn itself. It's about the idea of it, the idea of having your brain turned to mush as you melt into being a hedonistic drone concerned only with your own pleasure, enslaved by the fake world on the other side of the screen, able only to make yourself feel good.
I remembered seeing this image floating around here a while ago because people found it amusing, but I went looking for it again because I think it's a good example of the whole phenomenon:
I myself am not a gooner. I am not a primary source on this matter, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. But I do have respect for them, to see a whole ass moral panic and then to decide to touch your junk about it shows the unstoppable drive of humanity. That you can never keep a horny person down. It's counter cultural and subversive, a celebration of what is scorned that does not try to make itself acceptable, but instead leverages its unacceptability to push into new territory. Gooners are majestic animals and they have my respect.
It does suck that people keep ruining kink/fetish terms. It's one of my more niche takes, and one I don't talk about much, but I do kind of lowkey think that Charli XCX owes the kink community an apology for what she did to the word "Brat". That shit must be hell for all the actual Brats out there.

tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

the users seem to actually prefer text posts to anything else, and treat it as a chore to play a video especially with sound

Also, do you have any tips on poses and anatomy? Someone else mentioned it already, but your poses are so fluid and expressive!
posted this a good while back on twitter but heres a sketchy little diagram of what I focus on with poses
most of these are important in making appealing posing in animation. you can absolutley convey a characters personality, background, what theyre thinking through posing, something I try to strive for everytime I start a pose! I think keeping that in the back of your mind as you make a pose can make the world a difference in how expressive it comes out.
Im quite practiced in the fundamentals of art so this can occupy more of my brain as I draw, which brings me to the second point part:
from an anatomy standpoint your best bet is learning muscle and bone structure and applying that to gestured life drawing. I personally believe thats the most effective way to learn. yes even with cartoon characters with rubber hose limbs, knowing the rules to know how to break them is very important.
I personally love anatomy, but I understand this can get so boring, try not to burn yourself out with it, you should always have some play with your studying. if anything at least do gesture drawings, it may seem like a lot of work but its very helpful in the long run.

I loved this era of Steven universe discourse
Reblogging again with tags a follower added because they are correct. No you are not insane for reading that deeply into the overall reaction to SU and im glad you said it.
This sort of problem runs deep and i see it fucking everywhere.
everyone did this with avatar aang the same day that finale came out. old heads remember
#THIS DRIVES ME INSANE the diamonds weren't even redeemed steven still resented them#the diamonds are USEFUL when their powers work in reverse#especially yellow diamond. white and blue are kinda mid#killing them would be shooting urself in the foot
Sometimes I still see people being like "Steven shouldn't have forgiven the diamonds" and I'm like did we watch the same show?? He didn't forgive them???
There was a whole thing in the Steven Univers: Future season where he possessed White and impulsively tried to kill her????? Because he hates what she did and he was under extreme stress?????? Who's saying he forgives them? He doesn't even all the way forgive his mom!
Exactly! The major theme of the series is "sometimes things are broken, sometimes you can't heal everything, and that's okay; we continue regardless." They light on this again and again. Sometimes the physical and the emotional damage in SU can be fixed, often it can't, and people have to figure out a way to move on regardless. It happens again and again, it' like, the main point. The fact that the diamonds don't get redeemed or cleansed via punishment or death and simply have to do the work of undoing as much of their damage as they can is a major point. The fact that Steven has to be civil to these people who hurt so many, has to learn to work with them without the catharsis of vengeance or seeing them stripped of their power or anything because a) he's not strong enough to do that and b) it would solve nothing, what matters now is healing as much damage as possible and the diamonds can better help with that where they are, is the point. The fact that Steven's wounds are raw and his resentment is completely justified and unable to be satisfied,and his impulsive high-stress momentary lapse into seeking revenge was a bad thing and a flaw on his part and he knows and recognises this immediately is the point.
Sometimes the part of the earth used to birth alien soldiers will never ever recover, and we push on. Sometimes your mother who committed suicide isn't coming back and you'll never get to know her, and we push on. sometimes your friend who works at the chip shop is always going to be the most annoying guy on the planet, sometimes your other firend who suffered abuse and torture and long-term imprisonment at the hands of your other friends is always going to be traumatised and have depression, sometimes you'll never forgive your father for the shitty way you were raised and your bones will forever bear the scars of their hundreds of breaks and your mind will bear the selfsame scars from having to be the pillar of your family and bear the responsibility of everyone's happiness from young childhood. Sometimes the genocidal warmongers who you faced down in order to save the universe from their rampage will still be happy and comfortable and in charge of the empire once the mission has changed to repairing the damage, and you have to keep on working with them and be a civil as you can, for the benefit of your planet and the universe. Sometimes things are broken and they won't heal, and you've just got to push on.

The mushroom mania is back 👀
wait loo wasn't one of our cornerstone joint shitposts that time I posted about lord of the rings and you told a story of how you couldn't watch those movies because you would go into a mushroom fugue state during one of the food scenes
YEP! It wasnt rhe movies tho it was the books. The first one features a lot of stopping and eating in the Shire and they kept describing these delicious mushrooms fried in butter and Tolkien does such a good job that I ended up in a mushroom fugue state and walked to the store to buy and then cook and eat like a whole container.
I stopped trying to read them bcs I was scared of it happening again. Mushrooms....they call to me.....
