@all artists who want to draw symmetra doing indian classical dance things

as an indian classical dancer i support you 100% in your endeavor but please please please do not under any circumstances draw her doing classical dance things while wearing shoes!!! i know it sounds stupid and something insignificant to get this worked up over but wearing shoes while dong indian classical dance is highly disrespectful and sacrilegious (especially if the dancer in question is wearing their gungaroo/gajjalu/dance bells and shoes at the same time) and also inaccurate as far as the traditions of india go too so please be aware of this! and as for why you absolutely do not ever wear shoes while dancing: i’ve talked about it here and here but i am more than happy to answer any other questions people may have about it as well! :D)

i’ve seen a ton of beautiful dancer!symmetra art out there but literally just seeing her wearing shoes in the art in question just breaks my heart so uh yeah just consider this your generic public service announcement from your local indian classical dancer and symmetra fan 😀

(and yes this is okay to reblog!)

please reblog this even if you’re not into overwatch: there’s already so much misinformation and ignorance and so many misconceptions about indian classical dance and culture out there – even within the indian and classical dance communities – and i just don’t want such a beautiful, lovely character who already shows having autism and disabilities in a positive light to haver other aspects of her character suffer just because something “looks cool” or “exotic”

*assumes typical california boi pose where i am sitting on a curb with my feet resting on my longboard, gently rolling it from side to side* *takes a sip of my arizona green tea* *takes off my beanie and runs my hands thru the front of my bleached undercut* so are we getting in and out later

i absolutely love atheists who:

  • realize that indoctrination from childhood is wrong
  • have themselves escaped that indoctrination
  • use the revelation that faith is not necessary to be a good person to be that good person exactly
  • have found peace of mind in atheism

i do not!!! like atheists who:

  • insist that all religions are evil and terrible
  • immediately discredit all religious people as stupid or ignorant
  • prove themselves just as single- and close-minded as religious extremists
  • actively advocate for the abolition of religion

like… theres limits yall, chill

Here’s a pitch for you kids with free time:
A RPG Maker horror game where you don’t use a flashlight.
Instead, you’re forced to depend on this $7 Hatsune Miku Projector Pen to help you navigate the darkest places unknown to man.
(BONUS: when an monster closes in, “World Is Mine Nightcore” starts playing.)
