pick your battles
#my art#my stuff#art#comic#original art#pride 2024#pride month#trans allegory..... or not even allegory. just trans .... ^_^#i technically cannot come out yet but i don't think the people who i need to not see this stalk my tumblr#i know they stalk everything else like my twitter and my instagram but this might be safe#so fuck it we yap. this is a comic about picking your battles#this is a comic about how for almost a year now everyone at home in singapore has been crying about my sore throat#my terrible fucked up voice. my you know. etc#i came out as not cis and using they/them pronouns in 2015 when i was 14#but no one ever used my pronouns. none of my classmates or friends even up until i left for college in 2020#from 2020 onwards every year i wrote an angry vulnreable essay about how much it hurts that they dont remember#and people would dm me apologizing on their hands and knees and commending my bravery#and then forget about it all over again. id ont mean 'they misgender me and then catch it and apologize and correct themselves'#i mean they dont even get that far#and so you might ask yourself: why have you kept them around all this time?#and i would have to explain that by pure bad luck i grew up in the most conservative close minded community#that all of my ex classmates that stayed in singapore are cishet and upper middle class and chinese singaporean#that i Am the trans person. that they were able to ignore me for a decade partially because there was no one else#so this is a comic about how there is dignity and grace in staying in the closet sometimes#about how not everyone deserves to see you at your happiest. about how some people can go fuck themselves#you know your truth and THATS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS!!! YEAH!!! i love you

anyway literally everyone is going through something all the time!!! everyone is wounded!!! everyone is human & no one makes it out of this life unscathed!! maybe try approaching people in good faith instead of always defaulting to the worst possible interpretations of each other
#the way people will pounce at the opportunity to unload on someone the second they have perceived A Wrongdoing#and then justify that with trauma like. i have been Traumatized so therefore i am allowed to make this other person feel like shit#never mind that life is not a binary set of right and wrong choices/beliefs and you are never going to agree with someone 100% of the time#and that disagreement ≠ the other person being a terrible human being. please god allow for some nuance and grace#stop putting people on pedestals stop with the unproblematic king/queen culture stop reducing other people to the image of them in your head

[ID: a tweet edited to read:
tumblr the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.
You can say "we should appreciate the female characters that already exist in canon" and somebody will say "oh so you’re saying I can’t like male characters that my neurodivergency has made me latch onto?"
No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.
/end ID]
piss on the poor website.
#it is a WIDESPREAD phenomenon in fandom that people will write 15k word theses on male characters who show up once but not even#spare a glance at a main female character#and someone saying 'female characters deserve more love and appreciation' is not a direct attack on your hyperfixation special blorbos.#stop pretending it is.#hello grace here#'just make content yourself' I AM ONLY ONE PERSON I ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME#IS IT A CRIME TO WANT TO READ FICS AND SEE ART OF MY FAVES BY OTHER PEOPLE??

you are a god's best friend. the world is young still, and you are yet younger. he rides with you and hunts with you, and teaches you how to speak to birds and beasts. you are a god's student. you ride in his train and care for a hound that he gifted to you. gods have taught others before. gods have been kindly to others before. your god is your best friend. he gifts you something of his self, a hound of his own hunt.
you are your father's son. your grandfather is dead. no one has ever called you wise, and you are, above all else, your father's son. he swears a terrible oath. you swear a terrible oath. you don't know if you really mean it, but your mother named you well- you are hasty to rise, hasty to run into things. the hunt teaches you patience but you cannot outrun yourself. you are your father's son.
you are a god's best friend and you have sworn a terrible oath, but it is an oath that you hope that your friend can understand. to hunt the murderer of your grandfather, is something that the god of the hunt can understand.
you are your father's son. the blood of elves on your hands does not feel different than the blood of a deer, except in the tight feeling of your throat. except in the thunderous beating of your heart. you tell your brother, who is trying not to throw up, that you need to think of them like deer. he looks at you like he's never seen you before. you are forever doomed.
you are a god's best friend. he does not say goodbye, but your dog comes with you. surely you can fix this, then, surely you are still a god's friend.
you are your father's son. he dies. he dies but before he does, he tells you to burn the boats. you do. you are your father's son. your father dies and, he tells you to swear that oath once more. it is a terrible oath. you have sworn it once. you swore to your best friend once. surely it will not tip the scales to swear once more, if in your mind, you dedicate this hunt to him.
you were a god's best friend, and it is not enough. you are your father's son, and you speak your father's oath. it proceeds to eat you alive.
#tolkien#silmarillion#silm#celegorm#turkafinwe#feanor#feanorians#sons of feanor#orome#huan#its me. celegorm posting again#mandatory disclaimer i am a cringefail celeg truther always#but yeah i think everything is worse if celeg doesnt disavow orome#its about the fall from grace#imagine what kind of person#what force of personality you would need#to be friends with a god. to be close friends with a god.#and that's saying something cause there's feanor and maedhros and finrod and galadriel and nolofinwe and so many strong personalities#and celegorm is friends with a god.#i think it makes his downfall more interesting. makes me want to chew on the implications#i want him to suffer the quencies of his actions#however i am also like... hehe the oath of feanor as a parallel of his oaths to orome#on one hand i loooove “they did this to themselves” interps of the oath#on the other i am OBSESSED with “the oath is literally binding and sentient and they had to struggle against it”#long post

Bingqiu ponies (Happy Birthday @Piosplayhouse!)
#poorly drawn svsss#svsss#luo binghe#shen qingqiu#equineswap au#They live in the same universe: I'm making it canon right now#I do think there are probably better horse breeds to assign these two#but as far as my little PD-SVSSS guys go - I think these fit alright.#Arabian for the gracefulness and elegance. Beautiful horse (all horses are beautiful so its a close race)#(and the missing rib. Cause....you know....)#Didn't quite get the head shape right but there is always next time.#Shetland binghe for the handsome little guy energy. I personally think a non silly little guy LBH would be a shire horse.#This is 100% an open invitation to debate and discuss in the comments and tags btw. I am no expert on SV or horses.#Also HI PIO! If you're reading this I just want to say thank you a million times over for everything.#You've been so kind and supportive and I think you are a brilliant and hilarious person. The tides of the yaoi wars turned when you enliste#I hope this next year for you brings wonderful things. You're a brilliant force in this world and we all are drawn to your light.#Happiest of birthdays to you B*)

The whole “be responsible not for other people’s feelings but to them” distinction is so so true… at some point you need to realize that other people’s insecurities really are their responsibility & dimming or contorting yourself to make them feel better helps neither you nor them. Firstly, bc they need to realize what they’re doing and grow up. And secondly, bc you’re not just compromising on a one-time thing. You’re comprising on who you are as a person. I don’t want to look back when I’m older and stay stuck wishing I held my ground despite people’s projections or asserted my presence more or didn’t apologize so much for who I am. I really just want to own everything (the good and bad) & continue doing what makes me happy
#This is something to bring up to the therapist for sure bc im not perfect on this yet#and i think that’s also another thing im learning to be less hard on myself for — just realizing im 21 and that having insecurities or weak#Spots still is literally okay. Making mistakes is okay. I beat myself up for this too much#I am not a horrible person for being young & learning how to live & no one will make me feel otherwise#This goes in the other direction too in the sense that I need to stop being apologetic of my accomplishments for fear of#Triggering other people’s insecurities. That is not and nor will it ever be my responsibility#I’m always going to be graceful w other people’s emotions but I’m no longer going to overcompensate bc it helps no one#And is not a marker of love for me to do so

It shocks me that the Hatchetfield fandom doesn’t embrace the fact so many of the characters are garbage people. Max Jagerman? Horrible person, a bully and sexual harasser. So damn fun to watch. Linda Monroe? Annoying Karen mother who’s entitled and selfish. Amazing character, give us more of her being just the worst.
With a series full of characters who span from being assholes to down right evil people, it’s shocking that there’s so much hate towards people who like these characters. Let people like morally bad characters, it’s fun! Hell, make them likable if that’s what’ll make you happy. If you don’t like how someone else sees a character, maybe you’re the problem
Maybe I’m missing the point, I dunno. I love antagonists in any media really, Hatchetfield especially. Let people like the characters they like, hell let them redeem the ones that may be considered redeemable. If you don’t think they’re redeemable, cool. Move on with your life :)
#starkid#Sorry I read the starcanwrecked confessions blog too much#Any time there’s an argument on whether you’re a bad person for liking a bad character I puke in my mouth#You’re not a bad person if you like bad characters#I feel like that’s common knowledge and then I remember this is tumblr#team starkid#hatchetfield#Maybe I’m missing the point#If I am lmk#It’s exhausting seeing the way the fandom just hates on some characters#they’re fictional#remember that#Yknow what character doesn’t have this problem#Ted spankoffski that’s who#Yall see the bastard man and adore him but the second you see Grace Chasity you freak out#Again maybe I’m just missing the point#Idk#tell me why I’m wrong or something#I’d be glad to read why

Headcanon that Leo has the song "Honey, i'm good" in his distraction working playlist and whenever it comes on, he refers to Festus as the "somebody at home" when that line comes on and him and Festus just have a nice little time enjoying a silly little song
#bonus points if whoever you ship w Leo walks in on them and Leo jokingly rejects them for Festus like the song says#festus the dragon#i feel like Festus would make machine noises to go w the song#idk Spotify shuffled that song into my Leo Valdez distraction playlist#and honestly i thought it was funny#after typing it out i can't tell anymore if this is awesome or slightly weird#but i think Leo and Festus would listen to music together and have a fun little time while Leo is working in either the Bunker or the Forge#also personal opinion Festus is totally fine and doing well and came with Leo to the Waystation#i need more Festus content honestly#leo valdez and festus the dragon#make it a tag pls#leo valdez#pjo leo#leo pjo#leo valdez pjo#heroes of olympus#leo valdez headcanons#festus the dragon headcanon#pjo festus#am i spelling him wrong?? where are all the festus tags??#pjo hoo toa#also depending on your ships#jason grace#valgrace#nico di angelo#valdangelo#i'm... i should tag Caleo shouldn't i...#i'll leave that to the Caleo shippers#feel free to use this hc for your ship but yk#riordanverse

these being grace's vows to nick is so....... when the show is about you and this woman you've been pushing away for decades and decades and even now that you are friends you still sometimes push her away. but she always came back, and still comes back to you now, again and again. and now she's watching you say these things not to her but to a man you only agreed to marry because you had a horrible fight with her and thought you threw her out of your life. but she came back. for you. but she has to watch you say these things that very well could be about her to this man. and you already know this marriage is wrong, that he wasn't who you were supposed to be saying all this to, but it's too late now and all you and she can do is watch these vows play out
#and then 13 episodes later you hit this woman with ''the real me. the me i am with you'' and it all makes sense#these vows shouldn't have been directed at nick when frankie is the one showing her that she is loved. that she is a person she likes being#anyways..#grace and frankie

hermitcraft is slowly removing my willingness to curse and possessing me to say things like HECK and DARN and GOSH GOLLY GEE like a comically angry butler from the 1800s or an old southern lady, neither of which are a good fit on a goth 15 year old
#arisveah talks nonsense#hermitblr#hermitcraft#let the hermits curse? maybe? or maybe i should just become an old person so my vocabulary fits my look better#actually its probably pretty jarring to see a 5'2 teenager dressed in all black stub their toe and yell “GOOD GRACE” to the choir#falling down the stairs and shouting “JUDAS PRIEST GOSH DARN IT YOU ABSOLUTE HEFFWRANGLER GOSH I AM NOT CHUFFED” in full goth getup#the chains are the metronome to my ridiculously polite slam (bang bash ouch pshhh) poetry#“what the heck my dude” i say as i am called slurs and moved about “not cool”#“gosh you really seem to be in a tiffy” says I to my Var over the dinner table. “must suck to suck”

another note from the extended editions: what is the Aragorn/Eowyn dynamic? watching the theatrical cut it always seemed like a painfully unrequited crush. the extended edition scenes though... either I am crazy or or he DOES like her
#at first hes awkward and throughout he continually does his part to create appropriate distance#but he respects her and empathizes with her and thinks shes cute#lotr#grace for ts#obviously he's still living with the ghost of arwen in his thoughts 100% of the time#but likekkkkkke#its giving 'if this were another life and i were a different person' energy#when he pulled the blanket up over her after the feast?? am I nuts#I HAVE WISHED YOU JOY SINCE FIRST I SAW YOU im screaming#what a way to be told bye felicia

"create the art you want to see in the world" and "i wish more people would write fics/draw art of my favorite characters/ships/etc." are two statements that can coexist. btw.
#yeah alright i'll release this from the drafts now#like.... do you know how many rarepairs i have? how many minor characters i love? how many platonic dynamics i wish were explored more?#i cannot write 1000 fics for all of them. there is literally not enough time i would be dead before that happened even if i lived to 100#and spent 40 hours a week doing nothing but writing#yes im creating for my beloved rarepairs/side characters/platonic dynamics/etc. take one look at my ao3 and you'll see that#but i am only one person!!!!! and i want to see fics and art from other people too!!!!! that is the joy of fandom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#hello grace here

Passing as a trans man is a nuanced and complex topic, but one thing I have been noticing as somebody who is a cis-passing (white) trans man is the way I'm treated when there is conflict.
I've noticed that in conflict, people are almost meek around me, willing for me to try working with them up until a woman is involved. When a woman (or, really, anybody who the other party assumes is one) is part of the conflict, they direct all their anger and rage to them. It's fucking insane the way a woman is treated when there is conflict, even if it isn't her fucking fault. These people are fundamental cowards for seeing my manhood as the only reason they can't be openly hostile to me, but it reveals a lot about how a misogynist thinks on an almost primal level.
I'm watching the women and people around me I care about being torn apart by people, and that's unacceptable. I can't sit around to watch it, and I don't want to do that. I need other people to perhaps read this and remember to not stand by if there is something that you can tangibly do to help, even if it's to lend a listening ear or let the person vent.
#feminism#misogyny#misogyny tw#before writing this i was worried about my blood pressure because i'm fucking angry#i hate the way cowards will look at me and see a man and be scared of me until they see a woman they feel strong enough to abuse#and i have faced my own experiences with misogyny and abuse now that i have transitioned and am recognized as male...#...like i had NEVER been catcalled until i medically transitioned. and now that i'm much more male i have been catcalled MULTIPLE times...#...which is why this topic is nuanced and complex and i hate this idea that we can bulldoze it down flat to 'make it make sense'#i want to always believe in people but i'm not a fool. i am not willing to stand around and just pretend like this shit doesn't happen#i WATCH this shit happen. i WITNESS it and HEAR it and i try to find some way to help the woman and/or person in question#and i know there's this aspect of white privilege in this where my white manhood is seen as a lesser threat#i can absolutely imaging a Black or otherwise MoC trans person not being given this level of grace from the get-go#i'm angry right now and i hope that my words are making sense. i want to address as much as possible but i'm sure you understand
