Types of People: Cunty edition
Tumblr media
Cunty// “Sexy, iconic, never been done before, serving” (Urban Dictionary)
Cuntiness to me is not about how you look, but the energy you give. The sheer amount of lack of fucks someone gives is what makes them cunty. This post is for people who don’t care about others opinions, or don’t want to care about others opinions. I wanted to add different aspects of each type because I’d like for there to be more nuance to my content and I’d love to make written and visual aesthetics for these different types or base my own characters off of them. Let me know which ones you are!
Cunty- Expensive: Elektra Abundance, Miranda Priestly, Dracula, Cookie Lyons
- Having a signature “look” or aesthetic, wear a signature perfumed substance, more down to Earth compared to Lilith type, but they still appreciate opulence and a healthy dose of attitude - They demand respect in one way or another (whether it be reading someone so hard that they piss themselves in public, trying to kill your ex boyfriend, or making a girl’s hair fallout). They know their worth and they demand that their needs be met. - They care less about looking sexy and more looking polished. They want to people to think they look expensive and high end, even if that’s not the case - These are the people that have a surprising amount of tenacity, they have the willpower to get what they want, whatever the cost. People are surprised by their passion and ambition - These people dress for themselves and they refuse to look anything less than perfection. They put a lot of effort into their appearance and they like to be praised for it - Care more about success and status than the other types and can have a hard time hearing about what they are doing wrong and can’t really take criticism. - They are the ones that hype themselves up every time they walk out the door. They really like having an image (ie. being a bad bitch). - They are willing to burn the whole world down to get what they want and they will look good doing it too.
Cunty- Indifferent yet Impassioned: Luna Lovegood, Amiee Gibbs, Amelie
- Might wear a very specific style of clothes that is tailored to their interests and views on life, is passionate about their friends and can be taken advantage of easily because of their kindness or willingness to see the best in people - Very creative, love all art forms and really like to express themselves through their clothing. It’s often more colorful or abnormal that sets them visually apart from others. - The older they get, the more they learn to appreciate their autonomy and they will fight anyone who tries to take it from them. - They don’t get upset easily and often are very understanding and forgiving. Are visibly strange to other people, whether it be their clothes, disposition, voice, eye movements, or just lack of understanding or context in the given situation - Really likes to go on self dates and wants to learn more about themselves as people, they want to grow as people outside of those they care about, and are likely to find interests in more nature based activities - Appreciates all people and have an easy time seeing all sides of the same coin, seldom do they discredit something someone said unless they are incredibly angered- when they get angry they tend to be bursting at the seams with their frustration and ire- especially because they don’t feel it very often, it builds inside of them and bursts at inopportune moments - Could be laughed at or talked about for their apparent strangeness, purely because they live differently than others and experience things differently. They try their best to soldier on, but it does make them sad to know that not everyone is able to appreciate others as they can. - They are very flamboyant in their approach to life, very animated and aren't able to contain their excitement for things. Because of this they are very easy to read. Don’t ask for much from people and really just want to be happy- they deserve the world.
Cunty- Intense: Toph Beifong, Imperator Furiosa, Sevika, Maeve Wiley
- These are the people that are more scary to others, the ones that put others off for whatever reason. It could be that they wear more avant garde or subculture-based clothes, their general attitude towards others, or just their willingness to whoop ass on any given day - These are the people that get out of bed and chain themselves to a building in protest, the ones that are willing to stage a coup and take down a totalitarian government - They walk around with “I’m a bad bitch, you can’t kill me” vibes, and nobody wants to mess with them, because they can and will annihilate people - Willing to do the dirty work in order to achieve their goals, passionate as hell and willing to die for their cause - Effortlessly terrifying, big RBFs on these bitches, and it’s amazing. So many people admire them because of their energy, they just ooze the willingness to get into difficult conversations in order to get the job done - They are alluring, though, they make a statement just by being in the room  - My loves that are a part of this group are aggressively supportive and willing to fight anyone who dares mess with their people. Are the ones that will slap you to get you to understand your own stupidity.  - Unwaveringly aware of their worth and value, understand that they can bring a lot to the table if people would just let them - Part of the reason why they care so much is because a lot of them have been through a lot on their own and had to cope in more unsavory ways for one reason or another. There is no reason for these people not to get infinite smooches from me. - Isn’t able to understand compliance and absolutely hates being seen as weak or being weak, because to them once someone gets to that point they lose their competency. They are afraid to cry, afraid to be emotional, and have a hard time being open about their emotions to others. They aren't able to accept that people may care about them and that they are loved. Just because someone sees their value doesn’t mean they feel valued.  - Most definitely Queer.
Cunty- The Full On Lilith Moment: Kat Hernandez, Maddie Perez, Prudence Night
- These are the ones that love to look seductive, bold, and sexy. They may or may not be wanting attention from others- you’ll never know - But they always capture gazes from anyone that looks at them, this is because their energy fills the room, and they seldom aren’t looking to intimidate people in some way.  - Very loyal to the people they care about, but can quickly become disillusioned if the people they feel close to disappoint them in some way (rational or not),  if they aren’t feeling appreciated, or are betrayed in one way or another. - Goes for opulence and luxury always, they want good quality in all aspects of their life (partners, clothes, shoes, decor, friends, education, living situations, etc.) - Can easily fall into the trap of wanting things they can’t have, or dressing for others so they can get validation. But, you’ll find that they always get to a point in their life where they dress how they want and aren’t going to suffer fools anymore - Sarcasm on point, dry sense of humor, often sits on the sidelines and laughs at the bullshit in front of them. However once it gets too much they will go into the ring themselves so that they can wring someone’s neck. - May have a hard time understanding their value outside of their looks or body. And, they really like to indulge in themselves. On the outside they may seem to be very shallow, but they really care about people and how they feel. They are very empathetic people who can easily be taken for granted due to how much of themselves they put into their relationships- romantic or otherwise. - They know that life isn’t worth living if you don’t feel good in the clothes you’re wearing. These people may spend a lot of time on self maintenance and grooming because they just like to feel pampered - They spend a lot of time with their loved ones and spend a lot of money/time on/with them, they are fiercely protective of their people and causes they care about - Extremely open to different types of beauty and completely understands the lack of diversity in the beauty industry, they are very active when it comes to working towards a common goal, and are willing to shank a bitch if it gets the point across - Will protest and show support for many different movements- especially underserved peoples and will stab a bitch with their heels if they dare to utter a slur in their presence - Will absolutely punch nazis
Cunty- Casual and Tired- but still serving: Tiana, Sarah Bailey, Molly Abrams, Piper Halliwell, Blanca Evangelista, Bonnie Bennet
- This archetype is my favorite, because it references underserved or underappreciated characters in media. The ones that no one appreciates or respects. But, they are all survivors. If something is wrong, they are the ones to get that shit done. - They may look more normal than the rest, they may not always turn heads. But, they have hearts of lions and spirits to match.  - People can sense that. Their willingness to fight, their willingness to do what needs to be done. To throw caution to the wind for their loved ones. - The loyalty of these people is ridiculous, they will stand by their people through thick and thin, always the silent protector. - All I want for these guys is for them to get the appreciation they deserve because they are allowed to be taken care of too. There is so much love to go around and they need to start accepting some for themselves - I implore that my loves that fall in this category turn love inwards and stop helping people who do not appreciate your sacrifice, who are not able to see the value you bring to their life - I ask that they focus on their health, to eat food that they like, get enough sunshine, read a good book, watch their favorite movie, see their friends at least once a week, break up the monotony, stand up for themselves at work, set better boundaries with people, unlearn any codependency they may have learned or allowed, give up the toxic things in their life (whether they drink too heavily, smoking a lot to escape their pain, gamble to feel some semblance of excitement, have sex because they feel the need to punish themselves, restrict their eating because they don’t feel like they are enough for people, spend time on social platforms that make them stressed or angry, etc.)  - This archetype may be the most outwardly ordinary, but the cuntiest thing about them is their resolution and willingness to get the job done. - Their independence and self accountability shines in the way they treat people. Their vibes are more down to earth but by far the most powerful because they have been through so much, and just spending a little bit of time with them it is easy to see how much they do for the people around them and the amount that they sacrifice.  - The love I have for these people is insurmountable, keep on truckin’ all of you. You are loved and respected in this space as long as you give that same love and respect back.
All right, my loves. Have a wonderful day, drink enough water and eat good food! And, always stay safe.

Up next, number 3 on my Queer Icons Pride Project list is Dominique Jackson. Dominique is a force to be reckoned with, she is incredibly talented, full of passion and fire. This image I referenced is a great example of that power, Dominique played the fierce Mother Elektra Abundance on FX's Pose. This show is a very important milestone in LGBTQ+ history, Dominique along with over 40 other transgender actor(s) told the story of New York's Ball Subculture during the late 1980s. Dominique came to the states from Tobago, a island in the Caribbean, at 15 and lived with her mother. She became not only a actress, but a model, an author, and a advocate for social change. Dominique inspires me by her fierceness and authenticity. She has such a confidence that one can't help but gravitate towards, want to embrace, and with some luck have a portion rub off onto themselves. If you are reading this @dominiquet.a.r.jackson thank you.❤ #brownjrart #dominiquejackson #pose #fxpose #lgbtq #pride2022 #prideproject #loveislove #strength #power #redsketch #queericon #queerartist #gayillustration #drawing #sketch #prismacolor #mixedmedia #portrait (at Turlock, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeWG5pJrcoH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Don’t look; but I Think The Elephant In The Room is Wearing An MF Doom Mask..”
By @tomasistrill
December 12, 2019
The Manifesto
“I am the elephant in the room;
bringing doom,
really soon.”
-TOMMY TRILLY
-Form & Shape
The image is sized to be square to eligantly frame my thesis of the symmetry that outlines all things asymmetrical.
Using dimensions of 1080x1080pixels gives the piece functionality & purpose as cover artwork for an important project being manifested as we think, speak & breath.
The color scheme is purposely & purely monochromatic. Starting from left to right; the viewer will immediately see that black is the dominating color of the composition.
However, dominant, is nothing less than an understatement. When working with black on this piece; I found myself compulsive, aggressive & even manic at times.
I strayed far from my initial concept of having the black fade to an almost white tone; never truly giving my viewer the graceful embrace of a pure white.
Instead; my fanatical usage of black lead me ever deeper into the enigmatic labyrinth of my subconscious & a graceful awareness of the courage to create.
-Ethos, Pathos & Logos
The toxic love affair between my creative mania & the color black conceived a scene no longer so two dimensional; contrasted with a character that will never be anything more than it’s two dimensions.
The character is depicted in the center of the room. However, because he cannot escape his two dimensional existence, the center of the room is a place he can only observe from afar. He doesn’t understand why none of the people in the room pay attention to him.
His body language communicates a lonely disposition; arms hanging at his sides, hands [possibly] in his pockets & eyes staring far into the abyss; painfully conscious of his glaze matched by the depths of true existence.
On the left & right of our self-ruminating character; reads “S†≡≡Z.”
A word meaning to have style with ease; made popular by hip-hop on the East Coast. In my meditations on the word, came to me, the most clear understanding of grace & what it means to have it.
Bruce Lee describes it as the effortless flow of water; taking the shape of whatever contains you; the body containing the mind & the mind then containing the soul.
This journey inward in search of the holy S†≡≡Z requires you to courageously be yourself purely in the face of adversity. Everytime you choose fear over courage; you’re taking steps outward & away from the S†≡≡Z!
-Spiritual Subliminals
Diving ever deeper into the art & the messages it has for us; we’ll turn our focus to how the word “S†≡≡Z” is communicated to the viewer. Using things such as; color, form, shape, symbology, typography, etc. I was able to effectively communicate ideas to the beholder, in a very visual, yet subtle way.
“S - - -Z”
The “S” at the beginning represents a wavelength that’s smooth from crest to trough.
While the “Z” at the end presents an opposite, but equal wave; this one being more aggressive in it’s frequency.
This is the inevitability one faces in making the decision to be themselves.
Sometimes the wave is S & sometimes the wave is Z, but if you know how to surf; the ride is always steezy.
“- † - - -“
The letter “T” here serves at a ✞ symbol standing for the divine power of love & forgiveness within Man.
“- - ≡ ≡ -”
The arrangement of three horizontal lines is an angelic numerical sequence “111” that tells the intuition to take action.
Encouraging you to keep following your spirit; if you see this listen to your gut/heart.
The double “EE” sequence is made of three horizontal tic marks, similar to a traditional capitalized E, but instead here we see “≡” used; one of the eight trigrams used in Daoist cosmology meaning “Heaven.” 乾 Qián ☰ Heaven|坤 Kūn ☷ Earth|震 Zhèn☳ Thunder|坎 Kǎn☵ Water|艮 Gèn☶ Mountain|巽 Xùn☴ Wind|離 Lí☲ Flame兌 | Duì☱ Lake
This rendering of “S † ≡ ≡ Z” is then contrasted across the longitude of the entire ensemble; painting a polarizing picture of the age old existential struggle of the inner against the outer.
The only usage of a true white tone is in the first occurrence of S†≡≡Z; in the darkest section of the piece. Then, almost mockingly, right in the middle of the lightest area, we see the return of darkness; in the second & final occurrence of S†≡≡Z.
This beautifully illustrates; when the world is dark, the individual will intuitively become the light he so desperately seeks.
We can then safely assume if the world becomes illuminated in mankind’s brilliance; the individual will only find peace in the shadows of his own world.
Narrative-
MF Doom:
A character/persona written by british-born EMCEE Daniel Dumile.
From his upbringing in Long Island, New York to his controversial rise to infamy; his story is trill hiphop lore. He became a man deep in the minds of millions & they don’t even know his name.
Initially, rapping under the alias Zev Love X, he formed the rap group KMD & signed to Elektra Records. Just before the release of the group’s second Album, boldly titled “Black Bastards,” the doom rapper’s late brother DJ Subroc was struck by a car & killed.
That same week the group was dropped from their label & the album was scrapped. Dumile left the industry & lived essentially homeless from 94’ to 97’.
He then left New York to settle in Atlanta, Georgia. Still recovering from his wounds; the rapper would don the iconic DOOM mask & take revenge "against the industry that so badly deformed him".
Thus the notorious villain of the hiphop underground MF DOOM was born.
He is often praised as not only one of the illest lyricist to ever do it, but also as a genius producer.
However, inspite of his immaculate discography & significant respect from industry legends, he is still widly unaccepted by the community he’s devoted his life to.
The Elephant:
Elephants are known as a keystone species; meaning it has disproportionately large effect on its environment relative to its abundance.
In fact, by simply existing; the elephant has the power to inflict change in the world it lives in. They, as all animals do, move across the earth manifesting their every desire; unconcerned with anything & everything that isn’t necessary to life.
Effortlessly laying the foundation on which nearly every other speices, within it’s domain, inevitably builds it’s existence.
They themselves embrace a matriarchal lifestyle; in which the feminine is the primary power within society.
Family Groups, consisting of mainly females & children, are led by the eldest female matriarch; with many of the males choosing a more solitary existence.
The elephant recognizes itself in a mirror; demonstrating a capacity for self-awareness found only in apes & dolphins. They also morn their dead & show signs of stress when loved ones aren’t well.
It is well known that the elephant’s memory is stone; able to recall locations of watering holes, family members, vast migration routes, etc. all over their 70 year lifespan.
Conflict:
It’s no surprise that elephants have inspired many literary, mythical & religious cultures; traditionally the elephant has been a symbol of strength, power, wisdom, longevity, stamina, leadership, sociability, nurturance and loyalty.
We see these things reflected in political ideologies of the American Republican Party; who’ve used the elephant as a mascot since 1874.
Conveying a message to undecided voters to preserve the values of the past & to have noble principle guiding your actions.
On the surface level this is honorably patriotic, but as I dived ever deeper; I found a story of people divided simply by perspectives based on how reality presented itself to the misdirected & misguided naiveté of the ignorant & innocent.
The parable of the blind men & the elephant originated in the ancient Indian subcontinent. A group of blind men, who never encountered an elephant before, all touch a different part of an elephants body & insist they know exactly what it is in front of them; based on their limited experience, they all go on to describe what they understood the elephant standing in front of them to be. The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said "This being is like a thick snake". Another man, whose hand reached its ear, said it seemed like a kind of fan. The third man, whose hand was upon its leg, said the elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk. A fourth man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall". Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear.
In this parable; I found a moral of the subjective truths we face every day in our common lives.
All of these men share a deep common attribute of blindness & thus will cling to shallow differences in sensual experience & each man will have a different ideology for why he does so.
Man will neglect fellowship with his fellow man if, in his limited experience of reality, he finds it to be a necessary action in his life.
Unfortunately for a more modest man; life is often misunderstood by his neighbors.
Perhaps he dreamns of power, so he creates the illusion he has a higher knowledge of the elephant. Maybe he’s a coward & would rather formulate an opinion than walk away, because he fears rejection from the group.
Man has a habbit of claiming to know the absolute truth based on their limited, subjective experience. As they ignore other people's limited, subjective experiences. Which may be equally true; only ever able to justify their claims with fear or courage.
Resolve:
Courage requires immaculate moral responsibility & higher knowledge. To stand in the face of destiny with the heart of a warrior is an endeavor most men can no longer dream of.
It requires too much & so most men spend their lifetime in the same predicament the elephant himself is in; standing in a room being ignored by those whose hearts call out to him! To be the elephant in the room is a tragedy largely ignored.
The expression "the elephant in the room" is a metaphorical idiom in English for an important or enormous topic, problem, or risk that is obvious or that everyone knows about but no one mentions or wants to discuss because it makes at least some of them uncomfortable or is personally, socially, or politically embarrassing, controversial, inflammatory, or dangerous. This same sociological & psychological repression operates on the macro scale of modern society.
Should something as conspicuous as an elephant be overlooked in codified social interactions? Of course not. You are the elephant in the room.
Conclusion:
Not only has he not forgotten; but the elephant himself, in all his divine S†≡≡Z, stands in a room full of people he remembers from the beginning of time. They talk of the old days; almost every word hinting at his presence in the room, but they just go on rambling as if the elephant himself isn’t standing next to them. They’re completely oblivious to the fact that there’s a god damn eight-foot seven-inch Asian elephant with a fucking MF DOOM mask on right there. He’s tired of being ignored; soon he will escape from his interdimensional hell & bring doom.
