'I wont cry for you, I wont crucify the things you do. I wont cry for you, see, when you're gone, I'll still be BLOODY MARY'

[lucienne-thee-librarian]

Just to minimize my chances of being genuinely misunderstood OR deliberately misinterpreted, and crucified for something I don't think, How Dare You Say We Piss on the Poor website etc...I'm gonna say this right up top. I absolutely understand why people don't like Thessaly as a character, if anyone does completely unironically stan her as some kind of feminist hero who Did Nothing Wrong uwu, I personally see it as a bit of a red flag. I don't like terfs real or fictional. In a vacuum, I could even completely sympathize and agree with the people who want her cut.

HOWEVER.

It's really something to me to see people clamoring for her to be cut, because she carries and expressed an ugly indefensible prejudice (transphobia) in words towards (1) person. Meanwhile Hob fucking Gadling enacted one of the most violent forms of antiblack racism I can even think of against thousands no, millions of people, the ripple effects of which still affect billions more today. Just a little light idk, profiting off the fucking slave trade and had to be told by someone else that it was bad...and he's a fan favorite.

People are saying Thessally being Dream's love interest reflects badly on him or is somehow endorsement by the narrative (?!?!?!?!?!? Didn't she (SPOILER ALERT AS IF IT MATTERS BY NOW) help participate in his extended assisted suicide? She's not painted as a great person to me just another character what are y'all SMOKING whatever fine. It's fine this is fine.) But shipping Dream with Mr. Former Slaver is not only not verboten or frowned on widely in the fandom but its THEE most popular pairing by far. So...why the difference?

Like where are the same fans who are saying Thessaly shouldn't just be more clearly shown to be wrong, she shouldn't even be in the show at all when it comes to Hobert's crimes??? Yes, transphobia is indefensible. Isn't racism?

And I hear the cries of "it's fiction!!!" Already rallying (if anyone who needs to hear this even sees it lol) to which I say:

HORSESHIT. I KNOW you don't, deep down, really agree because if you did, why get upset about Thessaly being included??? Why does what she said to one person matter if it's Just Fiction You Guyze. Fictional characters are allowed to do bad things and fiction isn't reality sweaty....except when you only apply that standard to fictional racists you like and simp for, but fictional transphobes you don't are SO HARMFUL they shouldn't even be portrayed in fiction.

Like. Give me a big fat BREAK. This looks like bullshit, no? I'm sorry, but I'd love for someone to try and give any other explanation besides one personally offended you or hit home for you, and the other doesn't.

And if that bothers you or you feel like it says something negative about you...idk what you want me to say??? You can't control how other people perceive you and that's how people outside this majority-of-the-fandom bubble see it. You don't need to respond, I just wish and genuinely hope this gives you a moment to think about why fans who ARE bothered by both (and not just paying lip service to being bothered by the one but railing against the other) are so frustrated with people saying everyone is welcome but in practice only bending over backwards for the comfort and emotions of themselves, and people they can easily relate to.

You don't have to like Thessaly (I don't. I find her an interesting antagonist, I don't stan her. And frankly imo likability is not. the point of her character) but you'll pardon me for feeling more than a bit cynical and side eying people's motivations for what seems a...pretty obvious double standard, on what fictional crimes related to real world issues matter to y'all, and which clearly don't. Either actually bring the same energy to the table for fictional people who committed atrocities, even if against a group you're not part of and thus don't feel the need to empathize with, or just carry on, but accept that you don't have the SLIGHTEST room to talk about cutting characters who do immoral things. And you also need to accept that you look like a hypocrite when you do.

bad dream still haunting me :((

[milkweedman]

Made a mini supported spindle, more out of curiousity than anything else. It does actually spin very well and very finely. Was a pain to make though--there's really nowhere to hold while whittling it, and as a result of that it's very wonky (shaft is kind of triangular, tip is off to an angle even though what i started with was completely straight, etc). I decided to forgo the bulb mostly because i didnt think i could actually carve it lol. As a result i also used it without making a temporary cop, which, even though it's quite small, does definitely slow things down. Might try another one at some point and see if i can add a bulb somehow.

Also featuring the second most recent spindle I've done, as size comparison. That one is about average size for my spindles, but much smaller than the commercial supported spindles i've seen--a bit more than half the length of your average supported spindle. So the mini one really is quite small.

Not me realizing that a man breaking into my house is the source of all my stalker dreams and all my breaking and entering dreams and all my late night paralyzing anxieties about someone being in my house uninvited. Duh.

girl your ship is fucked up and wrong no matter what spin u put on it lmao

When you can come back and tell me how much more wrong it is than Wednesday or Your Student-aged Mary Sues x Weems (ETA: or Gatesmonster*, which has a decent fanbase too), then we'll talk.

MehmehmehmehBUT but nothing. The double standard you people have regarding Weems vs. Sheriff Galpin is fatass. I happen to not mind Weemsday, and obviously this fandom is saturated with Christie fetishists who put Tormund to shame. Anons like this:

The author who was targeted with that request chickened the fuck out and didn't make them their fic (proudly declaring that she made the Mary Sue a "Student Aid"/"all legal!" instead), so even there we have authors who are too chickenshit to write what people want, instead dictating what people should want. The moralistic bullshit in Wednesday fan fiction is insane.

I don't know how many people want Wenovan, but it does have fans that I engage with, so rn I've got to get back to crafting it...again, get back to me when you can argue your point without casting the telescope back onto the entire fandom.

P.S. No one gets to call me "girl" except for my gay friends, since they respect my status as a 🏳️‍⚧️ man.

*Like it's ttly okay to read/write about an older woman actually grooming and medically forcing a teenage boy to turn into a subservient monster, but to write about a teenage girl who goes after an old man because she's attracted to him, suddenly I'm the pervert 💀

This is… interesting. I don’t absolutely despise it, but I don’t wanna spend 25 diamonds on it either

Thinking about that scene in Invisible Monsters where the main character (who had the lower half of her face shot off) dresses up all sexy, does her hair up in a buttercream swirl, and then walks out with an entire turkey from the freezer section because nobody will look at her. I think that was formative in my cripplepunk experience.

[screamingay]

I can't say it's entirely unwarranted in that it has some good jokes and a cute art style but I am a little disappointed that the psychic cop gag manga is doing so well in WSJ rn
