#CW some transphobia TW (please ask me to tag)

[3-2-whump]

Down the Drain

Thank you for the title suggestion and the beta read, @whumped-by-glitter and @generic-whumperz

This one shot doubles as both a look into Cade's backstory, and a glimpse into how the roommates resolved conflicts and worked out a solution before Khaled came into their lives. Enjoy I guess?

PS, I really miss writing and posting, so I might just ignore my previous timeframe and post the sequel earlier? Idk. It's my blog, I make the rules here, but I don't know what I'm doing lol

TW/CW: domestic violence/intimate partner violence (offscreen, alluded to), transphobia, unhealthy relationships, stalking, toxic masculinity. I think I got them all, but I can tag more if need be. Heed the tags on this one, folks.

It began with a phone call at 9 PM on a cold night.

“Come on, pick up, please, pick up,” Cade murmured desperately. The shelter wouldn’t take him, he hadn’t talked to his parents in a year, this was the only bridge he hadn’t burned yet, and he just hoped to the gods or whatever higher power was out there that his shining light would pick up the phone.

Loud and lively party music blared through the phone, quickly interrupting the drone of the ringing phone. Cade thought his heart might burst with relief as his dearest and oldest friend finally answered the phone, yelling a little to be heard.

“Yeah?”

“Eric, it’s me, Cade!” Cade yelled back.

“Cade?” Even through the din of the loud music, Cade could hear the smile in Eric’s voice. “Shit, man, let me move to a quieter place!” There were some light shuffling sounds, then some heavy footsteps, indicating that Eric stepped away from whatever party he was attending.

Why are you interrupting him at his party? He’s having a great time, don’t bother him with your- Cade cut off the intrusive inner voice and anxiously stayed on the line.

“Okay, is that better?” Eric asked.

Cade smiled, nodded, then remembered Eric couldn’t see him nod. “Yeah,” he answered.

“Now, what’s good, Cade?”

“I…” Classic Eric, always asking about him, always there for him, always making him smile when he wanted to do nothing but cry. Which, judging by the constricting of his chest and the way his eyes pricked with tears, would be very helpful right now, to have something to smile for.

“I… I need help…”

-

It was a year ago today that Cade began to live with Eric and his roommate Vikash. Eric had driven to the street corner Cade was waiting on in the Moon Garden Catering Van. He wore a tunic-like thing and smelled like something divine. He picked Cade up and drove him back to the party –a Diwali party, hence the clothes. He fed him some of the best curry he ever had in his life, introduced him to Vikash Gill and his family (who were hosting the party), and briefly explained the situation to Vik. Once Vik learned what had happened and who Cade was to Eric, he welcomed him into 716 Sunvine Ave with open arms.

Although, this morning, maybe he’d change his mind, Cade fretfully worried as he continued fiddling with the drain to the kitchen sink. Beside him, Vikash stood, hair disheveled from his morning workout, and mouth downturned into a scowl as he bitched and moaned about the clogged sink.

“Damn it, Cade, you’ve lived here for a year already, and you still forget we don’t have a garbage disposal in this sink?!” he asked.

“I thought it was small enough to go down!” Cade defended, panicking as the sink half-full of rancid water burped up broken food particles with every thrust of the takeout chopsticks he’d taped end to end.

“Chutiya, it’s rice! Rice expands when it’s wet!” Vik yelled.

“You don’t have to yell at me! I’m trying to fix it!” Cade screamed back.

Eric rushed down the stairs and rounded the corner, phone in one hand and a five-gallon bucket in the other. “Break it up, break it up! Yelling at him is not gonna fix the sink any more than poking it with a stick!” Eric chastised. He gently but firmly bumped Cade out of the way and threw the cupboard doors below the sink open. “Now, Jason is gonna be here any minute, and I don’t want our landlord doing the annual inspection on his former childhood home when the sink is clogged, do you?!” he asked the two. Both men shook their heads, crouching down beside Eric to clear out the space below the U-bend of the sink, their shouting match already forgotten as they took out bottles of cleansing spray, dish rags, and rubber gloves alike.

The doorbell rang amongst all this mess. Cade jumped, Vik groaned, and Eric ignored it, shimmying the bucket under the U-bend and grabbing the tools he’d need to loosen the pipes. “Someone else get that,” he ordered, too absorbed in what he was doing.

Cade volunteered. He quickly ran out of the kitchen, took one look in the hallway mirror to adjust his hair and damp t-shirt, and came to the door to answer it. “Hey,” he greeted.

The welcoming smile on his face faded as soon as he saw it wasn’t Jason on their doorstep. The bearded man in the plaid shirt stood on their doorstep, smiling back as he raised a hand. Cade flinched, then cursed himself for flinching when their unwelcome guest merely waved in greeting. “Hi Cade, it’s been awhile.”

The memories and the hurt began to bubble from somewhere in Cade’s gut, threating to boil over into his esophagus and poison his words with resentment. Best end this interaction as quickly and politely as he could. “Go away, Brant,” Cade replied coldly.

Brant dropped his hand. “What, aren’t you going to hear me out?” he asked, sounding confused and a bit hurt. It took all of Cade’s strength not to cave to that façade of hurt.

“What’s there to hear out?” Cade asked. He kept his hand on the doorknob, ready to slam it at any moment’s notice. “We broke up a year ago, and yet you tracked me down and showed up at my house. Why?”

“I-I wanted to talk to you, to work things out between us,” Brant said, “but you wouldn’t pick up your phone, you wouldn’t text me, you wouldn’t reply to my DMs –nothing!” Cade raised an unimpressed brow as Brant fell back on the classic excuses. “And yeah, sure, I started seeing someone else for a little bit,” his ex-boyfriend admitted, “but they mean nothing to me, compared to you!”

Cade let out an unimpressed laugh. “I’m sure Danny would love to hear that!” he added sarcastically.

“Come on, Cade! I followed your Instagram stories for months, called your work, got your address, drove for three hours to talk to you, and you won't give me the time of day?” Brant pouted.

Cade made a show of bringing a hand up to his chin to stroke it, pretending to be deep in thought. “Hmmm. And why do you suppose that is?” he asked rhetorically. He shot Brant a scathing glare.

His ex-boyfriend huffed a frustrated sigh as he rolled his eyes behind his thick-framed glasses. “I give you some tough love one time-”

“’Tough love,’ my ass –you locked me out of our house!” Cade interrupted.

“Fine, I lock you out of the house one time, and then you gotta disappear on me in the middle of the-”

“Brant, let me stop you right there,” Cade said firmly, holding up his hand to silence the man at the entrance. “You don’t get it at all, do you?! You made me sell my Oscar, you smashed my crystals, ridiculed my music, flushed my birth control! I had two decks of tarot cards, Brant, because I knew that when you found one, I’d still have at least one deck once you threw the one you found away! And don’t even get me started on how you’d trigger my dysphoria when we were in bed on purpose!”

Brant dropped all pretense of making friendly. “You’re making it into a bigger deal than it was,” he growled, poking a finger accusatorily at him. “A real man would’ve let that shit slide and moved on-”

That triggered a bitter laugh from Cade. “’A real man’?!” Classic Brant Voorhes. How pathetic/infuriating/relieving to know he never changed, Cade thought. “Really?! Honestly, fuck you!” he yelled. “In the fourteen months that we dated, you told me the whole time what I was supposed to do, how I was supposed to act, how to be a ‘real man’ or whatever, but you weren’t really interested in making me a man,” Cade accused, “you were only interested in making me your dog, and I had enough of it!”

Brant gaped slack-jawed on the concrete steps to the entrance, his mouth moving without sound like a flopping fish as his face reddened with pent-up emotions.

Cade shook his head. “So, all that I mean to say is…” he continued, lowering his voice. He stepped away from the door frame, beginning to close the door between him and his ex as the man tried to follow him inside, “…fuck off, Brant. And don’t ever come back again.”

Slamming the door on that piece of shit was the most freeing thing he’d ever done in his life, apart from coming out. He caught a glimpse of himself in the hallway mirror and gave his reflection a victorious smile. “Nice job, me,” he praised.

He returned to the kitchen with a bounce in his step. Vik looked at him confusedly. Eric straightened up from underneath the sink to a sitting position on the kitchen floor. Cade hummed as he picked out a box of mithai Vik’s parents sent home with them after Diwali last weekend.

“Was…that Brant?” Eric asked tensely. Cade remembered how angry Eric got when he told him about all the things Brant did to him the first time around. It was the closest he’d ever seen his easygoing friend get to homicidal levels of rage.

“Yeah.” Cade replied. He fished out a syrup-saturated jalebi and took a bite. Just as good as it was last year, he thought to himself, smiling around the sugary treat.

“Are you okay though?” Vik asked. “I know that guy fucked you over, it must’ve been hard to see him again.”

Cade swallowed, then took another bite of jalebi into his teeth. “Nah, not really,” he shrugged.

The doorbell rang again. Eric got up from the kitchen floor, muttering something about how if it was Brant out there, he’d do something to end up on the news. Vik slowly walked towards Cade, lowering his eyes as he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. “You know, this unexpected visit with Brant reminded me it’s your one year anniversary of leaving that prick, of living with us.”

He sighed. “I’m sorry, about earlier,” he apologized. “I’m glad you came to us, and if anyone’s going to clog our sink with leftover chunks of rice, I’d rather it be you.”

Cade popped the last of the jalebi in his mouth. He was about to give Vik’s bicep an appreciative pat, but stopped his hand midway remembering that his fingers were covered in syrup. “I know, and… thanks,” he replied. They exchanged smiles, then their attention was directed elsewhere, as Eric led Jason the landlord into their apartment.

HOWDY hi there!! i’m kq! i’m 29, live in est, and use she / her pronouns! it’s important for me to say that i’m a really shy person. talking to new people kind of freaks me out and sometimes it takes me a long time to reply to things ooc. i try to always talk in the tags on threads and have little conversations on the dash, but beyond that… it takes me some time to calm down and talk to new people, so i’m really sorry in advance if i take a while to reply to out of character chats! 

ACTIVITY i am not fast. work and life and all that jazz!! if you’re interested, i have a million other blogs, if you’re ever interested in interacting with one of them, lemme know and i can pop over! and my discord is always available for mutuals!! just ask!!

FORMATTING i can't lie ... this shit is all over the place ... i tend to match whatever my partner is doing! i do small text by default, but i'll switch it up to regular sized text if you ask / if i remember seeing something about it in your rules!! also, i have no icons!! i probably won't make any!! he has 5 expressions!!

GENERAL this blog is multi-verse, multi-ship, multi-everything! unless we’ve discussed overlapping plot lines with a whole bunch of muses, it’s safe to assume that my interactions with your character and my interactions with another are happening in completely different timelines! also,  please don’t godmod!! little things that move along the thread are fine, but please try not to assume my character has done/will do anything in particular, in it!

TRIGGERS / SENSITIVE SUBJECTS as a general rule, i will always be trying to tag or avoid common triggers! my formats for tagging are ‘trigger cw //’ and ‘trigger tw//’. i will always try to do both and i always look for people’s triggers in their rules, but please don’t hesitate to let me know if i’ve forgotten a tag. as for myself, i have a weird teeth related trigger! it doesn’t need to be tagged, but if you could avoid talking to me directly about dental things it would be greatly appreciated! also, as a rule i don’t do smut! It’s just not my thing!

UNIVERSES my portrayal of this lil guy is gonna be solely based off of the hades game universe, but my knowledge of greek myth does extend beyond that!! i'm happy to play outside of my sandbox!! please play with me!!

VERY IMPORTANT!! there are few things that i vibe with less than i vibe with people being mean. on a small scale, i don’t post hate, i don’t send hate, and i don’t like to see hate. on a larger scale, i don’t tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, or anti semitism. if i see people posting things with an obvious malicious intent, i steer clear, unfollow, or block.

Hey there, welcome to my page, here's a little bit about me!

I am in my mid-20s, trans masc, nonbinary, submissive, ADHD, and autistic.

My page is going to have adult content on it. If you are not an adult, then I'm sorry, but I'll have to ask you not to interact.

I'm into bladder desperation, bondage, and sensory play for sure, but most of my experience is research/theoretical.

I'm also into some other very juicy things including, but not limited to: empathy, human rights, and mental health well-being and care. ;)

I have severe arachnophobia, so please avoid mentioning spiders, and sharing photos especially! I also have a hard time with r@zors, so please don't have conversations here/with me about r@zors or SH, esp wrists. Bl00d play and knife k!nks are okay!

Rules for my blog:

1: No minors. This blog is going to have adult content on it. If I discover you are underage, you will be blocked immediately.

2: No bullying, hate speech, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia etc. This blog is a safe, supportive space. If I see you promote any of these things, or engage in any of this behavior, you will be blocked

3: Self-promotion is okay, but please avoid spamming and keep it respectful.

4: No promoting any sort of illegal adult behavior, including p@doph!l!a and r@pe. Any content of this nature will result in an immediate block.

5: Be mindful of others when mentioning heavier topics, and tag with proper CW/TW. Failure to add proper warnings will result in a warning, and if the issue persists, may lead to a block.

6: Sharing explic!t content with me is okay, but if I start to feel uncomfortable about an interaction, I will ask you to stop. If you don't stop, you will be blocked.

[carters-blender]

Hello, hi, welcome to the blender!

I am talking about my writing too much to my in person friends so I'm making this solely for ranting about my current projects lol. I am full of characters and projects but limited on artistic talent so I just keep yapping instead

About Me:

Hi, I go by Carter!

I am a-spec and nonbinary (please use they/them for me)

I am traveling and working and writing on the side, I have been writing for fun most of my life but now I'm trying to actually write

I am a yapper so I can almost guarantee any questions will get a full response lol, I am also happy to participate in ask/tag games

I am neurodivergent (I am comfortable talking about it if asked, but mostly I am focused on my writing here)

Most of my WIPs fall into fantasy/sci-fi, there are some darker elements or topics touched on in a few of them but everything will be tagged to the best of my ability (I will always add tags/TWs/CWs if told I missed one, no judgement)

My inbox is always open, even for silly things! Feel free to ask me anything!

My WIPs:

Winter's Army (current WIP)

dark fantasy, military story

multiple POVs

Queer-friendly world (can give more details)

soft magic system

under the tags #winters army - carter #cartersblender

Quick about: A strike force unit is set as an advance guard into "unclaimed land" during a war with an enemy empire. They discover that their enemy has created monsters and that their side is too willing to accept casualties. One of the soldiers is a wooden construct named Elan who their side treats as a weapon, spurring further questions about humanity and how someone can know what the truth actually is! It's super lighthearted and fun!

General TW/CWs for death, militarization, dehumanization, injury

Rifle and Pony

fantasy cowboys; werewolves, witches, and vampires

multiple POVs

Queer characters, neutral world

soft magic (wild, called on but not wielded by people)

under the tags #rifle and pony - carter #cartersblender

Quick about: A cowboy who had been turned into a vampire is strong armed into helping a monster hunter (who is secretly a werewolf) in order to protect his found family. They learn more about each other and grow to care for the other despite everything that tells them they probably shouldn't.

General TW/CWs for death, injury, marginalization

A Knife in Your Boot

fantasy, romance

Dual POVs

Queer characters, complicated world

no magic (as of right now anyways)

under the tags #knife in boot - carter #arranged - carter #carters blender

Quick about: Two warring nations agree to an arranged marriage for an attempt at peace. The pair is made up of Vannes- a peace-minded spare prince who holds little power in his family- and Kaj- a trans man whose parents refuse to recognize his gender and who has been training to be a fighter for years. Their pairing is a disjointed one to say the least.

General TW/CWs for injury, some transphobia (from a few side characters, not the whole society), lack of autonomy

What You'll See Here:

Writing update posts

Mood boards

World building/character info-dumps

Rare attempts at character art

Reblogs about writing

Reblogs of OC art

Tag/ask games

No NSFW

This is kind of just another void for me to scream into, but if you are a real person and here then: OMG Hello Hi!!!! Feel free to ask/interact as much or as little as you want, I will always be happy to interact back

dylan price has always fought with her religion-- she grew up in the south . she was raised in a pentecostal church , and with an love for music from an early age , it was no surprise when she joined the churches praise band. christian music is an obvious influence in her own personal music. her new single rejoice is the perfect example of it. but , that's not all that her religion has influenced. from an early age , dylan knew she was a lesbian , she recalls when she realized , after a middle school soccer game , she was sitting in the back of the bus with her then best friend ( she made sure to exclude her name and wouldn't budge on the details ) held her hand. dylan describes it as your vision clearing after you get glasses for the first time. seeing the leaves in trees and not just blobs of color. this revaluation though , led to inner turmoil-- was the way she was enough? did her god , the one she worshipped now hate her because of who she loved? this struggle eventually led to her leaving the church and her hometown of huntsville.

the next step for dylan, she recalls was scary-- newly eighteen she loaded up in her in her 1997 subaru outback ( a detail she said she couldn't leave out. ) with everything she owned , two suitcases of clothes and an old guitar , and set of to new york with her then girlfriend ( we tried to press for this information too , but she did not budge ). the next years of her life were filled with struggle. dylan faced joblessness in new york , as well as homelessness , an addiction to cocaine as well as many other drugs-- she says this was the worst time of her life, her mental health was spiraling and she attempted to end her life two times. she said she never expected to make it past the age of 23-- and luckily that wasn't true.

at twenty - four , dylan's music career started to make bounds. former musican , liddell , discovered and vouched for the budding musician when she discovered a video of dylan covering one of her songs. this support led to her being picked up by an up and coming indie record label lavender songbird records , and the creation of her first album eye to eye's release.

𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 𝐌𝐘 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒. 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐌𝐘 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘.

camb1on is an independent, mixed canon rp blog for raven of the dc universe. rules under the cut!

HOWDY hi there!! i’m kq! i’m 28, live in est, and use she / her pronouns! it’s important for me to say that i’m a really shy person. talking to new people kind of freaks me out and sometimes it takes me a long time to reply to things ooc. i try to always talk in the tags on threads and have little conversations on the dash, but beyond that… it takes me some time to calm down and talk to new people, so i’m really sorry in advance if i take a while to reply to out of character chats!

ACTIVITY i am not fast. i’ve taken a bit of a break from rp, but have a lot of different blogs. i tend to go where i have the most muse and can sometimes disappear for a bit. i try to pop in and reblog musings / silly things in the interim, though. my discord is always available for mutuals!! just ask!!

FORMATTING currently, i’m rping from a chromebook and don’t have very much space for saving icons, so when it comes to longer threads i’ll likely be going icon-less! sometimes i’m slow and since i don’t have icons on hand, i think it might just add an extra delay to my reply speed if i have to hunt for the right panel / frame. generally, i use small text, but please let me know if you have a hard time reading it and i’ll use bigger text in our threads!! aside from that, i tend to keep it simple and don’t mind whatever kind of formatting my partners might be partial to!

GENERAL this blog is multi-verse, multi-ship, multi-everything! unless we’ve discussed overlapping plot lines with a whole bunch of muses, it’s safe to assume that my interactions with your character and my interactions with another are happening in completely different timelines! also,  please don’t godmod!! little things that move along the thread are fine, but please try not to assume my character has done/will do anything in particular, in it!

TRIGGERS / SENSITIVE SUBJECTS as a general rule, i will always be trying to tag or avoid common triggers! my formats for tagging are ‘trigger cw //’ and ‘trigger tw//’. i will always try to do both and i always look for people’s triggers in their rules, but please don’t hesitate to let me know if i’ve forgotten a tag. as for myself, i have a weird teeth related trigger! it doesn’t need to be tagged, but if you could avoid talking to me directly about dental things it would be greatly appreciated! also, as a rule i don’t do smut! it’s just not my thing!

UNIVERSES there are so many comics and i will be the first person to admit that i haven't read them all. my portrayal of raven will be based on the media i have consumed and fleshed out as i watch and read more! for now, i'll be working off of the og teen titans animated series, new teen titans, teen titans (2014), and the latest teen titans ya series!

VERY IMPORTANT!! there are few things that i vibe with less than i vibe with people being mean. on a small scale, i don’t post hate, i don’t send hate, and i don’t like to see hate. on a larger scale, i don’t tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, or anti semitism. if i see people posting things with an obvious malicious intent, i steer clear, unfollow, or block.

[sophiamoment]

gonna make a new pin post here cuz why not

Warnings!

Don’t expect me to be a good person. I’m still recovering mentally and in the meantime things will get ugly as shit.

Here is how I tag different triggers that I may discuss please block these tags if you haven’t already to avoid my content on those things.

Suicide/Self Harm: cw suicide, cw self harm, cw s/h

Abuse of any kind: cw abuse (+, more specifically, cw physical abuse, cw verbal abuse, cw domestic abuse, etc.)

Child abuse specifically: cw child abuse

Trans/homophobia:, cw homophobia,, cw transphobia

(sometimes I will also tag with a tw ___ just to be safe, and if there are multiple tags to one trigger I will try to tag all of them.)

Me! Me! Me! Me!

my name’s Sophia, I am a minor so if you’re an explicitly nsfw or “minors dni” blog steer clear.

I like LOTS of music (just ask me about your favorite band I’ll probably reply), bideo gaem like UTDR/Zelda/TF2, and also lots of youtubers and some tv shows/movies (Gomens and Miyazaki films)

I am just a bunch of Mitski lyrics glued together so if you make fun of sad girls dni.

Speaking of,

DNI

if you are a “MAP”, zoophile or any of the other things

support the actions of “darkships” or if you harass people for ships. While I am against that harassment strictly, if you are actively supporting a ship like that and condoning the actions of those characters we can’t talk.

if you believe in bullying ANYONE, for ANY REASON unless they’re a member of government or a sexual predator. This includes homophobia, ableism, and other gross shit like that. yes, this also includes you, terfs and radfems

if, as previously stated, you don’t interact with minors or post regular NSFW.

(thanks to @graphic--horde for the little graphics! stamps are courtesy of @engravedlives )

we’re so back

(returning to tumblr for (MUCH BELATED) Ceaser day! thought I would come back to check on old friends again and let you know I am in fact alive. I left for the new year to better my life but god dammit I can’t escape this hell)

[coldlobbiesofmarble]

Not sure how to make this funny

But I get annoyed at biphobia making us discuss the same shit again and again. I don't have all the sense in the world but I do have some sense and I think changes can be made and some stuff can be looked at and researched more.

The rambling tone aside I wanna get some un-seen perspective about bi/pan people put on paper. I stand on the shoulders of giants-- Inspired by this video made by someone I admire ❣✨I've just got to get it out tbh and a part of me wants to be a bit of an advocate in this type of stuff. And I hope this gets a share or two if I do it right.

Tl;DR. less bi~pan bullshit and less "exceptions for thee but not me" gibberish ... more of a look at being loud about trans people being legislated out of existence I HATE this weird axe-wielding, barely tolerable, poorly judged discourse that makrs me think of borderline cult shit online let's get on with things PLEASEEEEE IDC.... Like ... make life less shit for bi/pan/fluid/no labels comrades. Putting under the cut a handy guide on what to watch for as we build friends among ourselves whether cisgender or trans or nonbiney esp. 4 masc identified & male groups in the commty we sort of claim to have (NGL its "citation needed" hours... I am not an elder but I worry that for the commynity in 2021 that its a shit time RN and people are wanting to Kermit and are getting hospitalized... Like I was before realizing I was transgender TME and non binary and very femmey queer and bimbo-esque like I wanted to *ie for real lol) includes but necessarily extends grace 2 fems and non-men and women on the "I'm definitely not cisgender" spectrum

Don't ignore serophobia

Look at the community's impact and ways it's hurt by cis men and other trash ad infinitum

The trauma growing up in this world for us is real ...

••• AKA (good morning to QTBIPOC who are bi / pan only) 🗣🗣🗣🗣so ... be discerning and be kind

Just stop giving a fuck and be yourself and DO THE WORK because there's shit to do for the rest of us who are getting it worse 🙂 Allos... ableds.... cis white middle-classers....

Actual writings and observations below the cut (But first ♡ favourite excerpts)

...rightleaning vibes. It to me seems to float around conversation that is always on personal comfort/individual lives improving/asimilation with gay silver medaler cis gays N the pain of not being in proximity to their power. That is the focus even when we try to build confidence rather than looking at why our representation and our discussions over that are always or almost always very binary. It stops at discomfitted handwringing over whether pansexuals are transphobic assholes or how some men can be passed over in the lottery of meaningful connection because womEeNnN even the biSeCuAaAl OnNeSsS aReE biPhoBiC unNfEeLiNG slUuUtTy feEmBoOtsS

Here's stuff that annoys me

And more broadly issues and problems my bleeding commie heart thought about all when I was watching the intro to this video so to be fair this isn't the most original content

And also I'm not an expert and this is my pet peeves I guess despite the leftist way I have to word things (please humour me) like just shooting the shit and being ANGRY at what makes me uncomfortable

Read it and tell me what you think anyway

I barely read 0.5 books every decade lol

HIV

SWERFs

Quiet covert, insidious misogyny&loud externalized misogynist terrorism patriarchal as fuck norm of looking past the acespectrum to be super queerphobic (let alone transphobic haha)

••• I had to think here to clarify. Put yourself in mind of Chad BS about body counts dating virginity sex romance (TW ofc) and dating stuff being super hard but without any sort of helpful analysis to make it less scary or more affirming especially for youth and super turbo specially for victims

Violent femmephobia (which means prejudice and silencing of anyone who lives their truth and is not masculine: mostly I refer to masc identified gendernonconforming people nm their gender identity)

••• Femmephobia specifically for bi people and within just LGBTQUIA+ conversations counts for a lot internalized or not because it all results in victims coping in the shadows with a toxic culture that I won't even correlate to the misogyny thing because m8 if its not obvious already I didnt do my job

Overall and in my limited experience of American online community's history bisexual community Honestly Sadly Not doing a solid 4/org'anizing4 family who are equally erazed/bronze medaled (my own term lmao...based on DJ Muel's pointing out that gay masc people participate in silver medaling : theyre the top of the pile even though straights set aside that pile and that's them being proud for being more or less powerful relatively speaking)

••• I refer namely to the erasure of bisexuals being equal in my head to nonbiney&gender diversppl

The failure of a certain reach in our organizing to the point that we may still be 1-2 genr'tns away fr not being thrown in2/investing in talking only on Issues as/or rel8ing 2 homophobia or lesbophobia over BIPHOBIA lest you have existential crisis at worst and deep questions at best because yr. weak:)

••• Movement is serving up rightleaning vibes. It to me seems to float around conversation that is always on personal comfort/individual lives improving/asimilation with gay silver medaler cis gays N the pain of not being in proximity to their power. That is the focus even when we try to build confidence rather than looking at why our representation and our discussions over that are always or almost always very binary. It stops at discomfitted handwringing over whether pansexuals are transphobic assholes or how some men can be passed over in the lottery of meaningful connection because womEeNnN even the biSeCuAaAl OnNeSsS aReE biPhoBiC unNfEeLiNG slUuUtTy feEmBoOtsS over building counterculture against reactionary transphobes

[okama-kaizoku]

Getting an influx of new followers so to anyone new or just passing by!!

If you are a terf or agree with terf ideologies please leave. I don't want you here and I will block you on sight.

Anyone with "untitled" or "sem titlo" (or a variation of it) as their blog title WILL BE BLOCKED. I've been on this site for a long time and will assume you are a bot/porn blog when I see it. If you don't know how to change it, here is a tutorial on blog customization and some general tumblr etiquette/blog maintenance pointers -> [x]

I use filter tags (tws/cws) but I haven't settled on a consistent system yet. If you want me to use/add a specific tag, send an ask and I'll add it asap! I'm currently using the following tags:

//blood or // blood (for graphic depictions/non-canon level violence), gore, body horror, //dismemberment or dismemberment

eyestrain, flashing light cw, //eye horror, //eye contact (<- this one isn't used often srry)

self harm tw or //self harm, suicide cw, suicide baiting cw, character death cw or //death (for NON-canonical deaths), ouch (for any negative/emotionally upsetting content)

//transphobia, misgendering, //homophobia, //biphobia, discourse (for very polarizing topics e.g. yamato's pronouns/gender)

opspoilers AND op spoilers <- double tagged for any canon content that the anime hasnt gotten to yet, movie 6 and sometimes the climax of the marineford/paramount war arc. If you want to avoid anime spoilers come back when you're caught up.

4. REBLOGS >> LIKES!!! Reblogs help people see/find new creators and allows you to tell the artist directly (in comments/tags) how you feel about their art to inspire them to make more of that content!! Likes hold no motivational value for artist on this platform!! If you don't want to flood your main maybe consider making a side blog for it? (that what this blog is!!)

Anyways, thanks for checking out this blog!! Happy scrolling!!
