I have seen three different "how much of this site is queer" polls this evening poking fun at staff's 1/4 assertion and not a single indication any of them understand statistics. One someone even replied "This might have some sampling bias" what do you mean might what do you mean SOME
#ghostbloggings#like cmon#queer people who make a lot of queer posts including polls like this...#are predominantly followed by queer people.#and queer people are much more likely to reblog said polls for their queer audience#as sampling biases go?#'99% of responders are x degrees of follower separation from the OP'#is really really clear-cut#oops i was not expecting this to get notes. to be clear I am voting in these polls#they can be fun just... tired of people acting like they Mean Anything

i've spent a lot of the past 24 hours talking to various trans people in the fandom that reposted or dmed me about this video and i'm gonna yap here under the cut about it.
(i'm not a spokesperson for trans people obviously, and i don't mean to lead these discussions. i know i've had a lot of them recently but yeah it's been rough, i just thought this was interesting to share and can hopefully share a lil of how people are feeling.)
i've always assumed that the hate that i've received on my account was because of me? i post videos talking about discourses, i'm open about ships i like that are generally hated, etc etc, i've just assumed it was a me thing.
but then when people are mad about those things, it more often than not comes to slurs. it's come to people debating my identity, questioning how much of a man i am when i wear makeup, posting me on reddit pages, throwing the words tranny and "she-man" around farrr too much, and i thought "isn't it heartbreaking that this is their first thought?"
so it gradually became less about me as an individual, and instead my identity. and just that these people are mean.
and i made that video from the perspective of someone who's already upset. who's had a lot of stuff like this happen and is Sad about it.
but i've spoken to 47 trans people that reached out to me themselves about this, and have so many more requests to get through, and not one has said that they feel safe and comfortable in this space. not a single one.
so i thought i'd share some of the things that were said (with permission and anonymously) because i think it's quite interesting to see what the issues are:
the MOST mentions goes toooo: the discourse about male characters - namely sirius - wearing makeup and the way gender norms become the forefront of this - makes them feel as though people dislike "unconventional trans people" as one person put it.
alongside this, the hate for trans characters - namely regulus - and how people get very mad about it "reinforcing heterosexuality" - do not feel recognised as the gender they are, feel as though people are viewing trans people as "fake men or women" - quote.
discourses surrounding height, hair, 'gender presentations' etc - brought up by a lot of people and they recognised that this is coming from a good place (not reinforcing heterosexuality) but feel as though the amount of focus put on it is disproportionate to the presence of it. copy and pasted quote: "I'm a 5 foot 2 trans man and feel like less of a man because of it"
profitting jkr: (obviously, because that's what the video was about) i want to add that nearly everyone said that they understand the desire to, and were receptive of the fact you don't know what goes on behind the scenes re: donating elsewhere etc, but said that they've felt less safe since the surge of posts about the reboot.
guilt. which makes me glad that i posted about that here a few days ago because i felt alone in this. a lot of the people i spoke to feel guilty for being here, and feel as though they can't claim that this fandom is inclusive anymore.
comment sections: brought up by a handful of people who said that not enough people delete horrible comments on posts - one said "even if they argue against them it just feels worse than deleting it", another said "obvs i can't ask people to delete them on their own account but it does suck that they dont think to" - every person that brought up comment sections said that they tend not to look at them now which makes them feel like an outsider in the fandom.
cosplays: brought up by four people and feels relevant to above points about "gender presentation" - said that unless you're cosplaying sirius, they nearly always have to delete comments saying something along the lines of "xyz wouldn't wear makeup". all of them said that they just feel nice in it and never meant it in a bad way.
scared to be loud: scared to post, especially with face. a few acknowledged that they are scared to do so anyway, but worry about it in this space as well. bolded this one because it makes me so sad, but having been put on reddit pages for saying pete was their friend, i get it.
and the final point, a copy and pasted line: "i dont want to be represented when it suits them and i don't want to be a box they tick when adding diversity to a fic and then cry in comments. i dont want performative support"
ALSO ADDING HERE:
nearly everyone (bar 7 people) that reached out to me acknowledged that this is a minority, and not the majority. they were very clear that it isn't their whole experience, but is an issue regardless. a lot of focus was put on curating your own space and finding people who do support you, but algorithms don't always make that possible, and it's difficult seeing it happen even if they don't interact.
which is,,, yeah. that's the crux of it really. most of the time it's fine and it's lovely and things like this don't happen, but they still do, and how do you feel like you can engage when you don't know what side it will get on?
which,,, sucks. because there's not really anything anyone can do then. it's just screaming into a void and hoping that you don't end up on the wrong sides.
but anyway, i thought it was interesting. especially the comment sections and the headcanon discourse - which truly, i see less of on tumblr anyway but for all of the above reasons, don't fancy discussing this on tiktok right now which is the epicentre of it.
but yeah. food for thought perchance, and some very good discussions !! thank you to anyone that messaged me and allowed me to write this, you're not screaming into a void with me 🫶🏻
#its under the cut because i know some people dont want to have these massive rants on their pages#which is valid !! so you can scroll past my yapping if you wish :3#i'm no researcher and i'm aware sample bias is a thing or wtv and yes i'm going to be getting those that are upset not those that aren't#but alas#47 conversations in one day and not one entirely positive one? :/#idk#food for thought#i just thought this was interesting to share#and im glad people felt okay to message me with these#so thank you if you're one of the people that shared your thoughts with me#it was so nice to have these talks#sad that we have to#but lovely to know we're not alone in it <3

just wanted to say i absolutely love ur characters. each and every one of them is such a joy to follow. genuinely cant say how many times i've reread ur books at this point. i love them and i would hate being around any of them (special mention to my boy erica for being both the coolest and lamest person alive and jean for. being jean)
thank you so much for sending this 🧡and also for so completely understanding eri's character
here is a snippet (might be used, might not) from one of the openings of the third book i've written:
“What is it that we call you these days, anyhow?” Erica went on, falling into step beside him. His fingernails were black, as if he’d been scratching coals. “And why am I needed?” “We found explosives at the Spurs barracks,” Félix said. Any remnant of resentment or anger that might have showed on Erica’s narrow, shrewd features was wiped away in an instant. He practically bounced on ahead, leaving Félix to wrestle with the mule who pulled one of the emptier supply carts. “Wait just a moment!” Félix called, finally getting the animal to pull into a trot. Erica mounted one of the steps at the back of the cart as it passed by. “What kind of explosives?” “The kind that explodes, how am I to know? You’re the expert.” Félix settled himself into the driving position, finally, wincing as the movement of the cart rattled up through his knee. “It was wrote on the box, 'N I T R O-'” “Nitroglycerin?” Erica looked elated at that. “Ah, I know you were sent for Jean but you should have asked for me first, Ortega. You’re less wrong than usual; of the two of us, he may be the physicist, but I am the chemist.” “I don’t give a fuck what it is,” Félix said, stubbornly, “and I don’t care to know. We only need to transport it.”
“Naturally. Do we know why it is there?” Erica was speaking directly over Félix’s shoulder, suddenly, his tangled black mane brushing against Félix’s perfectly clean chestnut brown hair. It was a reasonable question and one at which Félix could only guess. “Isn’t it obvious?” he said, rather than admit ignorance. “They’re storing it all away from the townsfolk so that they don’t set it off by mistake.” “Evidently,” said Erica, “but why have it at all? This is not a mining town.” “It ain’t an army town, either,” Félix said, “but they managed to drum up a firing squad for those rangers.” Erica’s black eyes turned to the distant grey-brown line made by the sea on the western horizon. The sea had always struck Félix as something very ugly, as much as he would have liked to have believed in the romanticised vision of foam and waves in many of the books he’d read. His first association with it had always been the filthy armpit of Amhan bay, mud flats that seethed with salt flies and threatened to trap him as he dug for whelks and razor clams. He recalled the excited voice of Cypress exclaiming over the northern sea past Aberharain, how beautiful it was, how vast. Félix had been able to forget the truth and believe it then. He’d made quite a habit of forgetting the truth, where Cypress was concerned. Now he followed Erica’s gaze and glared at the ugly brown smear, and wrinkled his nose against the distant reek of rotten seaweed and mud. “I’ve heard of a fishing method,” Erica said, “whereupon a fisherman lights a blasting cap and drops it overboard.” Félix snorted. “Where’d you hear that? Jean? What he knows of the real world couldn’t fill a thimble. That goes for you, as well. I could tell you any aul bullshit and you’d believe it.” “I would try,” Erica said, a tiny, ironic little smile hovering about his lips. “Indulging in fiction could only bring me relief.” The shape of the fortress filled the end of the road again with its attendant smell of burning death, and opportunities for light-hearted conversation died with it. The open graves lining the bottom of the wall were still being fed with soil and bodies. Some of the rangers had tied cloths over their mouths, but most had just got on with the work, up to their elbows in mud. “The place was burned,” Erica remarked, as Félix steered the cart as close to the store-room entrance as he could go. “And the explosives remain miraculously intact. Are you certain you can read?" “They were put there after the fire ended, genius,” Félix said. He set himself back down on the ground, with as much grace as could be managed, and still felt it when his bad knee took his weight. The stray dogs had grown less cautious about the graves, and one now lay motionless with an arrow in its chest put there by the ranger on guard. Félix stepped gingerly over it.
#mvf#erica 'explosions' sionnach is on the case#this is all stuff that happens but i might cut it/tell it a different way u feel me#oh uh self promo time as well. free sample of the first book is in my shop (link in pinned)

#here i go establishing new questionable habits...#'oh yeah lemme just uhhh create an entire soundtrack to accompany my art! lmao no biggie'#but DUDE masashi hamauzu is a legend and his music sounds SO good in the ffvii soundfont ok#it's irresistable. i don't have a say in the matter. my brain says 'ok music time' and i am at its mercy like cloud giving in to jenova.#ALSO i learned so much about the soundfont while recreating the reactor section!!#you know that subtle triplet beat 'train chugging' sorta sound in the mako reactor theme?#it's actually acoustic bass plucks getting cut off SUPER short in rapid succession!#the same track uses a very deep pitched reverse cymbal sample as a spooky atmospheric 'breathing' noise.#idk man i just admire how creative og ffvii is in general with its limited tools.#ok the nerd urge has passed i'm good now#just kidding. gongaga has me in a chokehold. i'm obsessed with this place. do not talk to me about it because i will not shut up.#ffvii#ff7#ffvii rebirth#cloud strife#my art <3#my music <3

“Isn’t it weird that we don’t use cell phones in our dreams”
That’s not weird. What’s weird is that we cannot READ in our dreams. What the fuck is with that. We don’t talk about this enough - it’s so spooky.
#these are twitter thoughts but Twitter is dead so now I subject yall to them#honestly that probably explains why you don’t use your phone in dreams - you can’t read anything on it longer than a sentence#i have talked to so many people about this and they all report back the same:#If you try to actually read something in a dream instead of automatically ~absorbing~ the info#you can’t get past a maximum of a few words before losing the ability to understand what you’re looking at#even ppl who are VERY visual thinkers/dreamers cannot read in their dreams#interesting that literacy does not make the cut for dream brain access#but maybe that’s a sample bias? everybody go to sleep and try to actually read the words of any text you see.#then report back#shut up e#queuing this at 11am to post at 1am to hit with the right crowd (people awake at 1am on a Tuesday)

it is my feeling that true detective season 1 could've been improved with the addition of a dance montage and I don't mean like the scene at the longhorn in 1.03 it should've been completely gratuitous and served no importance to plot events. Like think the dance scene from The Breakfast Club but it's rust and marty dancing around rust's empty apartment like wild men drinking and hyping themselves up to go on the iron crusaders mission
#or rust in the evidence locker doing sick ass kung fu moves as he's sampling all the different confiscated cokes#and obv there would be no acknowledgment that it happened they would just flop down exhausted then cut to the next scene as is custom#anyways that would not cheapen the show whatsoever actually. nic pizzolatto is just a coward#and fyi it would also be extremely in character for both of them to be sick at dancing im being so serious#anyways#true detective#true detective season 1#marty hart#rust cohle

#anaesthetic does wonders for my skin which has always been weird to me#now onto the shitty stuff because i woke up during the surgery TWICE and after the second time they didn't bother give me something to numb#-the pain because it was nearly over?#and they did procedures on me. 1 - grab samples to see how far the cancer has spread and then#2 - cut out said cancer based off the results#because the last 2 operations they didn't cut it all out#but the real kicker here is they didn't wait for results and operated anyway#and therefore they potentially didn't get it all again and i'll need surgery again and today was a waste#anyway i started crying on the surgery table and couldn't stop and i was so fucking angry and tired#how have i been fucked over and over again like this like what the actual fuck is happening#it's like there's no communication or plenty of miscommunication#not just between me but the doctors too#the last few months have been so surreal like i feel like it's all a dream and can be undone because wtf. I don't feel human

Some art stores have designated spaces for customers to draw on things. Yes, take a sharpie, draw on this section of wall. Have fun. Knock yourself out.
The art section at the bookstore is not one of these places. Please stop drawing on the shelves. I have to clean that up. I am crying.
#it has been A Day#i hate having to clean the shelves of people's stupid ass graffiti and doodles and whatnot#especially when there's all sorts of sample paper available and like. actual places to test pens and stuff#but noooooo we're gonna use the permanent marker to write 'hi :)' on the shelf and then draw a penis#i am not :) about this. i am very >:U about this. cut it out. have some goddamn manners. use the sample paper#my hands smell like lysol wipes and i have not been able to get the ink staining off of them#help#ok rant over i hate this
