#Girls gymnastics

[kenniex2]

i do competitive women’s gymnastics and last weekend i had states and my mom thought a girl from another team was “actually a man”. First off, this competition was in NORTH florida, yknow the republican bit of ron desatan’s state. Second, no this was not a transgender woman she just had a strong jawline which women can have (shocker). Third, she god 12th place out of 12 people so let’s not be fucking rude. And last, i can automatically tell that anyone who’s convinced a trans woman would immediately dominate at women’s sports (especially women’s gymnastics) just because they’re “actually men” dont give a shit about women and women’s sports or even fucking know what it takes to play these sports. You could NOT be good at women’s gymnastics just by “being a man”, fucking trust me i play the damn sport. And if a trans woman were to be successfull in the world of women’s gymnastics its because she worked and is working her fucking ass off, like all the fucking rest of us do. TLDR: shut the fuck up creeps and leave female athletes and trans women the hell alone. Sincerely, a female athlete.

What I love about Mitsuri’s fighting style is how she reminds me of a Ribbon Dancer so I drew her as one!

Here’s a sprinkle of MELANIN MAGIC to brighten up your Monday ✨

[starry-bi-sky]

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.

His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.

His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.

Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.

Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.

Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.

But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.

But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.

He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.

And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.

And the truth is worse than all of the lies.

How horrifying.

The Olympics:

[mochasucculent]

Yet another Owl House drawing I never finished (of which there are many lol)

It was a dual redraw of/homage to my first ever fanart from the day the pilot episode aired (below the cut), but this time done right after the show ended and with Eda's updated look! Though I lost steam fast I kinda like it this way lol, one of those things that probably would have lost its energy if I tried to line it yknow

[wishfulscreaming]

I've watched so many women's sports in these Olympics I low-key forgot that men compete too.

A note to all male Olympic commentators:

These are women. Not girls. And if you are talking about a literal minor, how hard is it to say "young woman"?
