A thought Iāve been having: While it's important to recognize the long history of many current queer identities (and the even longer history of people who lived outside of the straight, cis, allo ānormā) I think it's also important to remember that a label or identity doesn't have to be old to be, for lack of a better word, real.
This post that i reblogged a little while ago about asexuality and its history in the LGBTQ+ rights movement and before is really good and really important. As i've thought about it more, though, it makes me wonder why we need to prove that our labels have "always existed." In the case of asexuality, that post is pushing back against exclusionists who say that asexuality was āmade up on the internetā and is therefore invalid. The post proves that untrue, which is important, because it takes away a tool for exclusionists.
But aromanticism, a label & community with a lot of overlap & solidarity with asexuality, was not a label that existed during Stonewall and the subsequent movement. It was coined a couple decades ago, on internet forums. While the phrasing is dismissive, it would be technically accurate to say that it was āmade up on the internet.ā To be very clear, Iām not agreeing with the exclusionists hereāIām aromantic myself. What Iām asking is, why does being a relatively recently coined label make it any less real or valid for people to identify with?
I think this emphasis on historical precedent is what leads to some of the attempts to label historical figures with modern terminology. If we can say someone who lived 100 or 1000 years ago was gay, or nonbinary, or asexual, or whatever, then that grants the identity legitimacy. but that's not the terminology they would have used then, and we have no way of knowing how, or if, any historical person's experiences would fit into modern terminology.
There's an element of "the map is not the territory" here, you know? Like this really good post says, labels are social technologies. There's a tendency in the modern Western queer community to act like in the last few decades the "truth" about how genders and orientations work has become more widespread and accepted. But that leaves out all the cultures, both historical and modern, that use a model of gender and sexuality that doesn't map neatly to LGBTQ+ identities but is nonetheless far more nuanced than "there are two genders, man and woman, and everyone is allo and straight." Those systems arenāt any more or less ātrueā than the system of gay/bi/pan/etc and straight, cis and trans, aro/ace and allo.
I guess what Iām saying is, and please bear with me here, āgayā people have not always existed. āNonbinaryā people have not always existed. āAsexualā people have not always existed. But people who fell in love with and had sex with others of the same gender have always existed. People who would not have identified themselves as either men or women have always existed. People who didnāt prioritize sex (and/or romance) as important parts of their lives have always existed. In the grand scheme of human existence, all our labels are new, and thatās okay. In another hundred or thousand years weāll have completely different ways of thinking about gender and sexuality, and thatāll be okay too. Our labels can still be meaningful to us and our experiences right now, and that makes them real and important no matter how new they are.
We have a history, and we should not let it be erased. But we donāt need a history for our experiences and ways of describing ourselves to be real, right now.
#stars has thoughts#i'm not letting the exclusionists have this one#'it was coined on the internet' 'it was only coined a few (read: in the case of aromanticism almost 20) years ago' true. so what?#that doesn't make it less real#i hope what i'm getting at comes across here#(and that it doesn't sound like im trying to invalidate all LGBTQ+ labels lol. i'm trying so hard to not do that)#labels are social technologies. if they are useful here and now then they are useful#we are using technologies that are new and innovative and useful to us in this time and place#in other times and places they have not always been and will not always be useful#but that's true of any technology. doesn't mean we don't get to use them now#queer#aspec stuff#aro thoughts

This got long and annoying so its under a cut now
The way in the fight w the museum director insul gets the same big injuries he has given trianon (so far), aand particularly the ones that T thinks back on often as specific sources of fear/humiliation/control (pepper sprayed in the eyes; kicked in the balls; choked with smth small and thin ((wire / car window)))ā¦.. im too tired to formulate a proper Thought abt this but the fact this all happens right in front of tjat one painting of dante & virgil in hell + insul and the director are in the exact same pose right as insul is about to die* is obviously so meant to evoke the idea of contrappassoā¦.. at this stage trianon isnt āāāstrongāāā enough (doesnt understand Insul enough and most importantly doesnt fully inhabit himself and his own strengths) to be able to pay back Insulās violence (as he does later, though not in such a literal way anymore) so tje director will do for nowš„° bc they both need to descend into hell they both need to be subject to physical and psychological violence in order to strip down layersā¦ā¦. so its cool how the director serves that purpose for this phase 1 both in story for insul himself (who eats shit in this fight) and also as a sort of alert for the reader like make no mistake they are BOTH gonna get put thru the ringer. even the top has to wade through cocytus! or smth
#i wrote and erased so many asides and digressions bc they were nit relevant but#and obviously im not trying to imply this is a story about giving back what you got just as bad in order for Badass Self Improvement or#whatever to be achieved#like the n1 innovation of SW in so much Twink Chained To Radiator and Tortured literature#is that the resolution is not āhe chains tje kidnapper backš he seemed so uke and frail bjt hes the strong one now!ā#NOR āhe learned to be happy chained to the radiator (or toilet ig) bc thats what he wanted deep down all along#and just needed a tough strong man to give it to himā¤ļøā#but rather it creates this beautiful and perfectly calibrated solution where#the suffering that one party inflicts on the other becomes fundamental to the existence & identity of said party#and vice versa. āif i lost you i would lose part of what happened to me / insul reached back answering the sameā#like by the ending insul does still absolutely have physical power over Trianon and he beats his ass black and blue regularly lol#but also Trianon has this gorilla grip on insulās soul and sense of self and self worth; a sense that was kind of nonexistent or#dormant or repressed in Insul before and hed managed to be a āstrongā person without it bc thats the kind of thing you can live without in#Society if youre a strong able bodied masculine man. but trianon teases out the messed up abused little boy underneath and its like#NOT at all a beauty and the beast hes vulnerable around me ā¤ļø fantasy its actually kind of horrific.#like trianon does very much do some psychological torture yandere shit to insul ā¦ā¦.. and by the end he COULD kill him and walk away but#he CHOOSES to do thatā¦ā¦..#and ofc this is all deeply weilian not as in lines up perfectly with what she says necessarily but is very much in discourse with her ideas#anyway Iāve typed so fucking much and for whatā¦.. -_-āā sorry#serious weakness

An hour and 17 minutes into Defunctland's new video. It's crazy to think that the first person to basically say "we should replace artists with robots/AI!" was... Walt Disney himself.
[around 1:17:14 in the video]
Defunctland's new video, you should watch it.
#feel like walt never really had a passion for art#maybe he did at first#but it's pretty well known that he lost this passion over time#the man's true passions were innovation. The furthering of mankind. The future#he saw animation as an evolution in human progression. Not in the way most artists or animators saw it then or now#and when that passion died off he moved onto the next innovation#food for thought#disney#walt disney#tw walt disney#I see why most artists/animators hate Walt now#YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON OUR SIDE!!!!!!#AI#anti ai art#defunctland

Jews in my phone, I have a confession: I hate xmas, but there is one (1) xmas song which I unironically love.
If we could all get together for the combined chanukah and xmas party and play this song specifically (and it has to be this one), I would die happy:
[Video Description: Anuc Atittawan's rendition of "The Christmas Song." He stares directly at the viewer and his very thick accent makes it difficult to understand parts of his song /End of Description]
#jumblr#meme#personal thoughts tag#guys i follow anuc on instagram and he seems like a genuinely sweet guy ššš#also this is NOT me making fun of him. i genuinely love his singing and i love that he still posts covers#it seems like he does a lot of anime stuff but guys šš#genuinely a sweet guy so be nice to him#i was curious about where he's from (thai-born and based in italy apparently btw) and an article described him as#'[having an] innovative approach to pronouncing english words' šššš bruh#oh no i'm now in the xmas spirit for the first time in my life..... oh no.... they're going to make me into a hallmark movie.........

It's impossible to write a TOS x Any other Series crossover [for me] without having to think about whose lens it's going to primarily be from because the vibe of TOS is so distinct and I think quite different from all series that follow it. The way the characters speak and are presented is so theatrical and of course steeped in the past that I find myself considering if this is, say, Janeway meeting Kirk (through a VOY perspective) or if I should write Janeway as she would appear if she stepped through a portal and was in TOS' universe.
#finally watched enough TOS that I feel I can write some fics v_v#I hope this makes sense#it feels almost like you have to decide whether or not you're going to translate the characters#not remove them of anything (which 'no female captains' TOS would have done) - I'm talking more of a...vibe?#It feels like TOS has a very particular 'pattern of speech' so to speak that other series don't share#EX: 'And now they're making me tremble but I'm no longer afraid...I am no longer....afraid.'#This 'pattern of speech' is also why shows like S_NW who purport to take place prior to TOS and yet are so jaggedly marvel-ously (he's righ#behind me isn't he???) modern feel incongruent. As if they take place in another universe. <- Among the million other reasons#I read a post that was like 'TOS is about the 60's' and it's true - TOS is so The 60's and that doesn't mean one can't innovate and build o#it (obviously hence star trek) but if I'm going back to WRITE in the TOS-verse it feels like I need to get in that headspace a bit and#engage with it in some manner. It's also why spirk is so compelling to me AS a yearning relationship (other than my love of yearning)#a man loves a man on a starship and it's the far future and it's the 60's and they're aliens and they can't admit that love aloud#for one or many of those reasons#It's such a PARTICULAR and INTERESTING blend of the past and future#we've solved racism (in the 60's way a white man might conceptualize this) but women can't be captains#and among the millions of alien planets there is nothing more constant than a brave man loving a beautiful woman

for a supposed genius anna really is a dumbass, falling for this exact trick twice in a row
#dgmw i would kind of like percy to sincerely side with her for a bit because his obsession with innovation is really cool and dark#but also like he's had two seasons of character development now so it's OBVIOUSLY a trick#the legend of vox machina#dr anna ripley#percy de rolo#percival fredrickstein von musel klossowski de rolo iii#aj watches vox machina#aj watches

actually every pundit is wrong about who the Democrats should choose to replace Biden. There's only one right answer.
That's right--
HOWARD DEAN FOR PRESIDENT 2024 REDEMPTION ARC
youtube
#us politics#politics tw#if you don't know who he is-- he's a dem who ran in 2004#he came in third place in iowa but gave this weird yell in his speech after that result#and it literally ended his campaign#that's all it took--one weird little scream#but his platform was actually a good one and he was one of the first to run a digitally conscious campaign-- a big innovation for 2004#but because of the scream he had to drop out and john kerry won the nomination#all i'm saying is that its been 20 years-- if any time is the time for a redemption arc for howard dean its now#look it wouldn't even be the craziest thing to happen THIS WEEK#Youtube

some rapo girlies š
#digital art#dtl#drawn to life#dtl:iolani#dtl:constance#i thiiink... iolanis dad was the main engineer on the gj's space elevator project. she maintains it now and keeps it running#and constance is one of those gals who struggles a little in social situations so she buries herself in books#she got frustrated with bad lit so she started writing her own and is fairly popular#i think most raposa dont wear pants unless its like ppe for things like mining or biohazard work#the gj is a little innovative in that way. this is the equivalent of wearing a cropped firemans jacket but w/o the cancer risk#something similar is going on in watersong with the long frilly dresses. most dresses dont usually go much further below the knees#but watersong residents like the length bc the dresses are fluffier with it and theyre all about that#fine and good au

honestly, I feel like Dave McKean's work elevated Neil Gaiman way more than the other way around and we don't distribute credit for that properly. I truly don't think--and, critically, never have thought--the early Sandman writing was so good that it would have gotten far without the heavy hitting art lending it such an air of respectability. McKean's work is so visually distinct still, let alone 20 years ago, let alone 30. "This is serious art for serious stories for serious people," those mixed media paintings say when they're surrounded by pen and ink put out on a brutal schedule. "I am a serious person with sophisticated tastes," the buyer says, given permission to be pretentious and smug as hell, which is very alluring to many people.
#and given that perky goth girl Death was designed by Mike Dringenberg--like. c'mon now y'all. how much did Neil really innovate?#i mean i say this partially from a place of envy deep down i'm sure#i would love for a serious artist to come along and solve all my design and presentation problems#if you're out there: i will love you and cherish you bb and also pay you on time i promise#btw this is not ļæ½ļæ½a person is knocked off their pedestal therefore we retcon their art as mediocreā#this is āi have been a hater since 2005 and only now feel I can open my big mouth about itā#what happened in 2005? Anansi Boys.#OooOoohh look at me i'm a British man who thinks I understand African and diaspora and Caribbean myth as well as I do Germanic and Norse#my partially Caribbean ass who grew up w Anansi stories for complicated diaspora reasons (via my nanny): what the fuck is this??? WHAT?
