rvb: when characters go through severe enough trauma sometimes they can fragment into different elements of themselves in order to protect their mental stability and the alters fragments have their own quirks and aspects that relate to the trauma that was inflicted in order to best protect the sanity of the character but still all belong to the same personality

It’s not my fault! I’m not to blame. It is that wretched girl, the witch who sent this flame!

Perisex people will do the most horrific fetishization of intersex people and use slurs and spread misinformation about what being intersex is and then when they're called out go "nooo don't be mean to me! I just didn't know any better 😞 I believe in human error and forgiving mistakes 🙏🏼 why are you so hell bent on viewing me as malicious clearly this is a you problem you should learn to be nicer to people 😡"

So in the last couple days, several people have reblogged a couple of my recent posts saying that they were the only i/p posts they were going to reblog, and at least a couple people have seriously reconsidered their understanding of what Zionism actually means.

And honestly? It makes dealing with the antisemitic trolls and the bait asks and the rude drive-by comments worth it. You can't hurt my feelings in a way that matters because my words are reaching people in warmth and comfort and peace, and that matters so much more.

If I reach even one person and help them to be kinder and encourage them to make a positive difference, it will have been worth it. It is worth it.

baby gays will be like “queer is a slur” and then see pictures of random twinks and effeminate men, like complete strangers, and be like “hmm kinda fruity” with no sense of irony or self awareness whatsoever

Sometimes, for like. The absolute Briefest of moments, I genuinely wonder how tf people manage to misgender you So Frequently when your header is pretty much Just your pronouns.

Then I remember I'm a transfem on the internet and it suddenly makes the shittiest-possible sense -_- I'm sorry you deal with that so often

Idk why but there's been a HUGE uptick in it!! You guys don't even see all the super transphobic asks, because I'm not gonna subject you guys to that, but there's a lot of them and they kinda fuck me up sometimes. People are wayyyy too comfortable demanding the intimate details of other people's identities on the internet 😭

I haven’t read a warriors book in so long but I can’t stop thinking about Moonpaw. She hasn’t even been seen in a book yet, but there’s already so much missed potential when it comes to where she comes from.

The fact that out of all the parents she could have had the Erin’s chose Bayshine and Thriftear who are literally first cousins is god awful planning. I know that incest isn’t a foreign thing in warrior cats (Dustpelt is Ferncloud’s uncle, for example) but this was during a time where we were only really going to get a couple and books and so a well thought out family tree wasn’t on the table (this doesn’t excuse incest btw, it’s just poor planning on the writers behalf in the early stages of the series). Now, however, the family tree is huge now. It should be relatively easy to see who is closely related and who isn’t so to choose two FIRST COUSINS to be mates is really dumb

Why can’t we have one or if not both of Moonpaw’s parents be either from another Clan or straight up outsiders? I like the idea of her being some strange kit that Thriftear and Bayshine took a liking to and decided to act as parental figures without being mates. Maybe she’s a descendant of Sol? Or maybe they should have gone for the obvious answer of making Nightheart and Sunbeam her parents. Like, come on, their prefix’s are “Night” and “Sun” it was perfect. Anything but refusing to pay attention to the family tree and choosing two random cats that are close family

Tbh, nothing has made me sympathize more with Kipperlilly Copperkettle than her anger issues.

Cause anger is an emotion we feel when we're missing something. When we need something and can't get it. It's a balm to make us feel better when things don't go our way.

When things aren't fair.

you might not think it’s hard to be a soc fan artist on tumblr, but let me tell you about the time I called someone out for drawing inej with light skin, so they blocked me and then wrote a long post about me that I couldn’t see, along with colour samples taken from my art as examples of how inej is “too dark” in them, and then they end the post with “I’m disappointed in you” 💀

I think it's deeply unfortunate that conversations about "representation" have become dominated by the issue of gay representation and That's It. I'm someone who thinks mainstream gay representation matters, but I also understand why it's easy for so many people to go "well I don't NEED boring lame high school romcoms for LOSERS. The only 'representation' I need is like, idk, weird furry comics made by the fagdykes online! Become unmarketable!" when the only issue on the table for them is sexuality. But I think it's not useful to take that mindset and apply it to "representation" as a broader concept, because in my experience at least it becomes quite different when the issue is less "the only mainstream representation for me is something I find kind of boring" and more "I don't think I have ever seen a person who Looks like me be presented in mainstream media in a positive or desirable light" (which applies to all sorts of stuff including trans stuff, body stuff, disability stuff, race/ethnicity stuff, etc.) Obviously I love subcultures and I love niches and I love Finding Community With Other Freaks or whatever, obviously I love that! But I also, as someone who is of Many Overlapping Marginalized Identities, Kind of want to see people who look and act and live like me be presented as People. Visibly trans characters who have things going on besides just experiencing transphobia or gender dysphoria, openly Latino characters who have things going on besides just experiencing racism or xenophobia, neurodivergent or mentally ill or socially disabled or whatever characters who have things going on besides being Weird or Creepy for the sake of a joke, chubby or fat characters who have things going on besides being demonized or mocked or A Message About Body Positivity. Characters who are People, the way like. normie white guy characters get to be lmao, and not just tools to teach some kind of lesson. "You shouldn't look for that in mainstream media/pop culture" well why not? Why shouldn't a culture's popular media represent the people that make up that culture? Not everyone is an online 20something attuned to the best queer indie art of the decade, yknow, and people who exist outside of our subcultures deserve "representation" too. Ever since I was a little kid I had an affinity for openly Latino characters on TV or in books, and that hasn't gone away. Different kinds of people Exist and deserve to be seen in art that isn't relegated to being "alternative" or "niche." Because while I am alternative, it's not my body or my upbringing or my social problems that make me that way. No human being should be considered a "deviation from the norm." Don't let art and culture forever belong to those who have deemed themselves "the norm" through continued subjugation
