I hate it when u find a sanrio fan but it turns out they just like it for the aesthetic and not also for the characters, shows etc

[collar-shocked]

Are we seriously going to let some anonymous rando with accusations divide this community? Are we really letting that happen yall? In their latest post they LITERALLY said it wasn't that serious. They made a big stink because they could. So like........ uh....... Why are we making this a big deal again?

"This is some gay shit" Good. Silly. Fair enough. Doesn't inherently invalidate other interpretations of the relationship. Honestly yeah, it is kind of gay regardless of their canonical relationship status

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

It's weird how in the past 5 or so years the left's understanding of decolonization devolved into some kind of weird Nazi era eugenicist thing about how people's "true places" are something encoded in their DNA and no one in the history of the world should have moved anywhere and anyone decendent from people who moved at some point should be shot.

best part about comic tumblr is that it is the only fandom i’ve been a part of where no one says “i just love the fandom so much we’ve created such a safe space here 🥺” like i have never seen even one post about how much someone loves the dc fandom. this is not a happy family this is a cold war and im just glad we all know that

I ain't going back into the closet, come hell or high water. Trans existence is resistance.

[ID in Alt]

EDIT: So this has circulated to some TERF spaces and the reading comprehension is as expected, so for clarification: if you do not relate to this art, then it is not for you. This is not “oh, you would rather people kill themselves than detransition!!” No. It’s not. You should get the gold medal for mental gymnastics tho.

I want trans folks to survive. Trans existence brings me pure exhalation. Anti trans legislation is forcing people to detransition, either by making it medically impossible or making the world so hostile that they will detransition for safety. There is no shame in detransitioning. If it was for safety, then thank you for surviving another day. If it was because you realized that you aligned more with the gender you were assigned at birth, then I am proud of you for finding what works best for you.

Detransition is not an option for me. If I am going to die, then I’ll die as my authentic self. I have no plans on killing myself. If the cowards and bigots in power want me to die, then they will have to do it themselves because I’m not doing them any favors. Trans rights are human rights!

now more than ever it's blatantly obvious that people go out of their way to erase trans men from communities and queer history. it's always been happening, but it's way easier to watch it in real time now thanks to the internet and social media. we are watching people basically gloating that they misgender trans men and don't see them as men. we are now watching people kick trans men out of queer spaces because they are often "femme and them" or "nonbinary and woman" support groups, conflating nonbinary identities with womanhood, and denying trans men or transmasc nonbinary people places to go. many of them get told that their presence would "scare" the lesbians, women and enbies because they have trauma.

where do the trans men with trauma go, though? we can't go anywhere. when i was struggling with domestic violence that ended up destroying my right leg, i was denied shelter in queer spaces and even women's spaces even though i have F on license. domestic violence shelters especially will turn trans men away if we pass. even if we partially identify as women, we can't go in because 'our voices are deep and scary and we're loud and aggressive and threatening and might prey on the defenseless scared women'

finding transmasc support groups is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. i've seen numerous organizations across the US have transfemme support groups, nonbinary/genderqueer support groups, and then nothing for transmascs. where the hell do we go when they won't let us go anywhere?

we try to exist online and they try to erase us from here, too. bickering and arguing about how we're not real men, sending trans men death and sexual assault threats, acting like they're saviors for kicking out the "dangerous ugly men" from the queer community, as if we don't belong to it at all.

i refuse to be erased. i refuse to sit in silence while people tell me my problems don't matter because now i "have male privilege". I don't. once people find out what my legal name is they view me as a woman. strangers however view me as a cis man and will deny me help, either through programs, or because i'm a "strong young man, i should be able to pick myself up by my boot straps." i'm not white. i'm not abled.

i'm proud to be a trans man and i will be here to fight for other trans men's rights to have a platform to speak, and spaces to occupy. i will not rest until trans men & mascs have safe places to be and meet other trans men.

trans men are queer. we belong here. we are taking up the space we rightfully deserve and we are not leaving.

Enki S Ending: God Blocking Gambit

[dailymanners]

When entering any place of business, such as a store or restaurant, if a staff member greets you, then acknowledge them and greet them back.

Although for many jobs it's a required part of their job to greet you, especially retail workers, receptionists, and restaurant workers to name a few, that doesn't make it feel any less dehumanizing to say "Hello!" to another human being only for them to ignore you. Acknowledging staff members and greeting them back is important for acknowledging their humanity, they are, after all, a human being, and not an automated machine.

This is also important when going to check out at a store. If you approach the cash register, and the cashier greets you, you should acknowledge them and greet them back. Cashiers already have to deal with being dehumanized enough. The least you can do is help humanize them by acknowledging them when they greet you and speak to you.

another specific thing i love about mxtx's books is that they all have scenes that EASILY could've been romanticized rape if written by someone else, but she purposely avoids playing it straight.

we have the land of the tenders, a classic "aphrodisiac flowers" scenario. hua cheng (as hong'er) could've forced himself on xie lian in the name of "serving his prince." xie lian could've simply succumbed and forced himself on hong'er, or reluctantly asked him to "help." xie lian instead stabs himself and fights through the agonizing pain without touching hong'er at all, because hong'er was a teenage boy.

we have phoenix mountain, where wei wuxian is blindfolded and alone in a relatively deserted area, weakened unbeknownst to anyone else because he no longer has a golden core. and true enough, lan wangji pins wei wuxian down and forces a kiss on him. but lan wangji also immediately, viscerally regrets it. he runs away so furious with himself he starts punching trees. he never once does anything like it again until wei wuxian is resurrected and purposely, consensually provokes him into things like that.

finally, we have scum villain, and all its intricately twisted, overlapping power dynamics. i truly do mean the vast majority of the novel. there are SO many times where either shen qingqiu or luo binghe could've forced themselves on the other. and unlike mxtx's other books, scum villain does have a mutually nonconsensual sex scene where luo binghe is under the influence of dark, corrupt magic and shen qingqiu is unable to fight back because of system transmigration sci-fi shit.

however, unlike many other nonconsensual danmei sex scenes, this one is intentionally written to be extremely unsexy. the narration bluntly says it hurt for shen qingqiu. luo binghe, a fairly manipulative person, is sincerely distraught and in tears when he regains his senses. they both hated it equally and the story doesn't handwave that away. neither of them get horny over it. luo binghe especially loathes remembering it. after they get together, whenever shen qingqiu so much as furrows his brows during sex, luo binghe canonically stops.

the way mxtx plays around with and toes the line of consent tropes may not be comfortable for everyone to read, but i enjoyed her stories even more for it.

The chaos in this bodyswap...

Aquaman controlling Wonder Woman's body. Batman in Superman's. J'onn in Aquaman's. Steel/John Henry in Green Lantern/Kyle Rayner's.

Batman was actually very interesting in Superman's skin:

Body swaps with them are always just so fun.

it's schizophrenia awareness day, so here's some reminders:

no, schizophrenic (and schizospec people in general) are not inherently dangerous. yes, you thinking they are solely bc of their schizophrenia IS a dick move.

schizophrenic people are often most likely to face abuse from family, friends, and institutions (such as psychiatry), esp if they're people of colour. the whole "insane asylum" schtick refuses to acknowledge that, and by you engaging with it, you are also refusing to acknowledge the historical and present abuse of schizophrenic people (particularly those who are also people of colour).

no, schizophrenic people are NOT your "uwu soft baby can't be in the world". infantilisation is a form of saneism.

yes, jokes based in unreality ARE harmful.

yes, jokes abt "I'm in your walls" (and similar sentiments) ARE harmful.

no, schizophrenic people are NOT your "so scary, so evil!" stereotypes.

stereotyping people w schizophrenia (as well as ASPD, DID, NPD, BPD, etc) DOES make you a dick!

no, schizophrenic people do not abuse others bc of their mental health. abusers will abuse people REGARDLESS of mental health. (and most abusive people do not have a mental illness! they are just cunts!)

your "psych ward" jokes ARE harmful

your jokes abt lobotomies ARE harmful

"insane"/"crazy"/etc ARE harmful phrases to use and minimise the way of which people w disorders like schizophrenia are treated ABHORRENTLY

sanenoir (saneism + anti-Black racism) is actually real and schizophrenic people of colour are the most likely to be murdered by the police during mental health episodes. schizophrenic Black people, such as Sonya Massey, are killed at the hands of police REGULARLY and ignoring it (or erasing the saneism aspect) is a cunt thing to do.

the ""psycho killer"" stereotype has done more damage to schizophrenic & psychotic people ever since people decided that hating us for existing was okay and HAS caused a spike in the abuse that schizophrenic and psychotic people face DAILY.

no, not all schizophrenic people have the same symptoms, the same experiences, etc.

no, schizophrenic people aren't clairvoyant or supernatural or anything like that. you are just a dick.

yes, the term "schizo" is offensive and you should not use it UNLESS you are schizospec.

yes, "schizoposting" is harmful

yes, you (a non-schizophrenic person!) writing That Character to be schizophrenic and turning them into a serial killer IS harmful. you're saneist!

yes, you (someone who doesn't have schizospec, psychospec, ASPD, DID, etc) writing That Character who has that disorder to be a stalker, a murderer, etc IS a harmful stereotype. you're saneist!

and finally: stop being a dick to schizophrenic people. we aren't your fucking entertainment or your toys. fuck off and cut the shit. stop making jokes every 2-3 months to purposefully trigger & harm us, you're a dick and you look like it. just stop, maybe get the fuck off of social media, and try to be a good person for once in your pathetic life.

I haven’t been able to sell many slots for my bigger types of commissions this month, so I’ve been struggling to make ends meet while I try to get a job. I was going to link my ko fi again but I’m so tired of asking for money it makes me feel horrible
