this is so me 2018/19 seeing all the "girls shouldn't engage with yaoi" discourse online and being so genuinely upset because I felt as though I was fetishizing mlm relationships (13 years old btw, maybe let's not create an environment where literal children are afraid of fetishizing others because they like to read mlm fluff on ao3, but that's a separate discussion).
there's really something to be said about how insular individual identity communities within the LGBTQ+ community as a whole can be. Lots of people change labels in their lifetime. If we are more accepting of that and create a wider LGBTQ+ community where people feel as though they can move through it freely and without judgment, I think I lot of people would be a lot happier.



where’s that article by james frankie thomas where he says like “prior to my transition there was only one kind of sex i wanted to have. and i thought i could never have it” because i am about to blow these people’s minds

i see the actions as more than crass, but hollow. to be wanted is great, no matter which way, and there are certainly sensualities within the context of this type of sexual treatment, but to be degraded is an extension of the patriarchal tradition; to be made to submit rather than to be loved in a way that makes you crave submission.
i believe that there are soooooooo many things wrong with the current concept of love in modern society, but something i cannot stand is the notion that butches themselves are immune from being influenced by the patriarchy that controls and allows our existence.
maybe i am positing an inquiry into WHY so many women enjoy this kind of thing? i dont want to feel like i am speaking to someone that cannot perceive me in any other way besides crude, or objectively. i, innately have 0 of this type of gropey nasty intention, maybe it is because i am me or autistic or trauma or what ever that may be. but this is seemingly SO confusing for me because i like women because they are NOT as ferociously apathetic men. the entire idea that you WOULD treat someone this way if they signaled that they wanted to be treated that way IS PROOF! that you even have worries, is what makes you different from the crudeness i am speaking of.
I DID SAY I WAS KINK SHAMING SO I CANNOT COMPLAIN FOR THE DISCOURSE but i do not want to fight because i didnt even think a lesbian would see this let alone respond. i am sorry, sometimes i speak before i think and form actual thoughts? there is nothing wrong with liking, wanting, or giving this type of love, and i apologize for implying that, but i do still feel as those you missed my point a tiny bit whenever it came to the "male centered" thing but maybe i worded it wrong
hate arguing and fighting and this modicum of discussion but i appreciate your willingness to have it
Not here to kink shame but its wild how many femmes dream of a possessive, dominating, handsy butch to sweep them off their feet when a sizable chunk of the butch population are constantly worried about being perceived as predatory and a threat when meeting women.
The butch of your dreams is out there, just very conscious about making women uncomfortable.

dafpork is like a modern day speakeasy to me because everyone comes in like it’s forbidden but since it’s the modern day it’s perfectly normal. Little secret club
LMAO YES!!! THIS IS A REALLY GOOD ANALOGY.. AND SEE IT'S SO FUNNY because i'm like I DON'T WANT IT TO BE FORBIDDEN... i'm such an accidental hypocrite in that regard because i'm like "i want more people to talk about them i want people to be loud and proud it makes me sad to hear that people might have been initially embarrassed to ship them there's so much to love :(((( anyway here's my SHITTY ART of these people i HATE i'm so EMBARRASSED thanks for putting up with me in my SHAME CORNER UGH i'm so EMBARRASSED they're so EMBARRASSING i SUCK they SUCK it all SUCKS" LOL and i do mean it in a joking manner... mostly... but i'm kind of now at the point where i'm like. Okay well you're going to have to put in some more legwork if you want people to talk about them. (but, again, just the fact that people talk about and support them enough is so great! it's so weird and wonderful to me that people are calling it on dafpork on platforms other than this one, people who may not know i exist... it's cool hearing a term you and your friend came up with in a private discord be used, it shows how much growth there HAS been since there really used to be nothing!)
a dafpork speakeasy sounds so cool though oh my god can you imagine Porky and Daffy themed cocktails...............
COME JOIN US AT THE DAFPORK SPEAKEASY. which, you are not supposed to advertise that a speakeasy is a speakeasy. but it's subversive. like Daffy. or something. this is your sign to play pig and duck with us. yes you
#I REALLY LOVE THIS ASK LOL THANK YOU#i'm maybe debating un-hiding my blog and posting in the tags.. before i went to bed last night i sent that latest drawing in a big discord#server i'm in where people know me in a more professional context and then just closed out and went to bed and now i have like 4 pings and#am scared to check them LMFAO but i'm trying to be more brave#IT'S LIKE. I'VE MENTIONED IT A LOT BEFORE. i have a very specific set of circumstances that somewhat justify my neuroticness with all of#this but i've been getting the impression that it's accidentally rubbed off on other people and that really upsets me so i want to stop#being a [Porky voice] craven little coward within my own control#my online and irl life are very intrinsically tied i have immediate family following me and i got my job through being online/it IS online#really... and even if those people aren't following my tumblr it still comes up in search results. so hopefully you can see why i don't wan#my parents or bosses seeing my art of the pig and duck eating face. especially when i want to work with said pig and duck#and am sort of fearful that people might feel like i have an 'agenda' or other motivations for wanting to work with them (push#ship fodder or whatever the damn hell idk). see that latter point i know is more ridiculous and i'm trying to work against it#because i know my intentions and it ain't that! truly i just love the characters and want to explore all of their dynamics. and this is a#part of their dynamic. a recontextualization maybe. but everyone i've explained Dafpork to has been shocked/understanding? i guess? a lot o#'how did i not know this before's. so it's not like i'm 'wrong' LOL. but i just get paranoid and my wires of justifiable vs irrational#paranoia crossed#look yall i was in the South Park fandom when i was 15 getting called slurs and death threats i was there for Steven Universe discourse#seeing the crew get harassed i've had a lot of bad fandom experiences/observations that justify my reticence lol#but that's me!! i don't want that to rub off on other people#my greatest mission is to make people happy and it makes me feel awful to think that other people might be embarrassed because they see me#dealing with my own neuroses and circumstances and adopt them for themselves... no!!!!!!! i would not wish that on anyone#so i'm trying to push my way through. i think also just because these guys are tied so much to my identity and how i make sense of it and#i think hiding and not taking pride in this stuff has been much more detrimental to my own self worth and image than i've realized#there are precautionary steps i do feel the need to take but also maybe there are things more within my control than i realize#AGAIN as an outsider i'm sure this looks bonkers crazy to some people who are like 'it's a cartoon pig and duck who gives a shit'#well a) me LOL but b) they mean a lot to me... like much more than words can describe. and i'm trying to embrace that more#i'm a very unique person with a unique set of circumstances and i shouldn't shun that and adhere to what i think other people expect of me#literally gotta be the change i wanna see in the world. i again know this sounds ridiculous but i yam tired of downplaying it/myself... my#circumstances are complex and unique and i will stand by them and embrace them#the old me would say thank you for dealing with me and sorry for getting weirdly personal on a joke post but the BRAVE ME says i'm grateful

not going to respond further on the actual post because I don't want to start an argument in my mutual's comments and also the person who left the comment clearly doesnt actually care about it but the experience was so baffling I've got to talk about it. this was said about caitvi

ok so the cop argument, I've heard it before that's nothing new. don't get me wrong I hate cops as much as the next self respecting person, but I don't think it's a valid argument. not going to get into it, I think cait haters just need to get over themselves. yeah she does bad shit. EVERYONE does bad shit in arcane. the enforcers are not portrayed as a good organisation.
the part that really had me ???? was 'one of them is british'. hello??? neither of them are british, britain doesn't exist. does this person not watch anything with british actors??? I know that people have done a 180 after the anglophilia or whatever of the 2010s and yeah that's funny. but dismissing a canon lesbian couple who have complex characterisations, grey morality, and their own individual arcs, with their lesbianism being incidental (this NEVER happens anymore), because one of them has a british accent is wild.
#i wrote out what i think was a rather polite response and they responded 'idgaf' within 25 seconds#so i think they probably don't actually want to engage with arcane critically lmao#reads like someone who hasnt actually watched arcane but has formed their opinions based on twitter discourse LMAO#i know it's silly to get upset by someone like this. but FUCK im tired of queer rep having to be completely perfect people#or else they'll be dismissed as bad rep#ive seen so many jayvik shippers be like 'i dont like caitvi because cait is a bad person and did bad things'#but youre good with eliminate humanity mcgee??#so the gays can genocide but the lesbians can't be tools of the state who are blinded by revenge. ok#sometimed i feel like a bad lesbian because i engage more with the jayvik side of the fandom.#but it's just because im content with how caitvi were handled in canon#i dont feel the need to consume fanworks when the canon material is so satisfying

Hey do you think people get offended/feel sad for being blocked for their dni?
#discourse#I dont use dni's and dont quite like their concept#but I went through tags like dream neg and dteam fans dni and blocked everyone there blindly#and when I say blindy I mean *blindly*#I had the tag blocked so I couldn't even see their posts#sometimes I'll stumble into someone I blocked and im like. would this person feel its unfair that I blocked them without ever interacting-#with them or their posts in any capacity#i mean. is that the expected/best outcome? was this the plan??#because I feel really bummed about being blocked#(even if I think its completely within people's rights to block me for any reason)#so? ya know?

don't think I ever clarified this but I genuinely don't care if people use my art as headers, icons, etc, anything really. As long as you credit me somewhere accessible from the location it's being displayed it's literally fine. You don't have to ask me and honestly I think it should be normalized to display art on the internet without personally contacting the artist for approval. Obviously if you're profiting from whatever it is that's a different story
#although I wouldnt ask for profit I'd probably just want the whole thing shut down#well. I'm broke rn so maybe I would but on principle I wouldnt want the dr11ft acrylic keychains redbubble revenue#there's this weird phenomenon where people feel fine posting professional artists art as long as theres a link to their socials or smthn#but if its fanart or “amateur” art ppl act like you have to track the artist down and beg#which is even weirder to me esp if the artist puts no indication they don't want their stuff reposted#(although whether or not it makes sense to post to the world wide web and then expect the content to not be shared is a different story)#it's maybe. hm. a little regressive and pointless to center the whole of internet digital art sharing culture on the preferences of#the loudest demographic (usually teenagers making discourse and shit over this)#and also!! not a huge fan of the implication that unless my name is known within the illustration industry I should be approached like an#unpredictable child dictator#lmao#just my personal thoughts#there's a reason I don't even sign my art half the time. it's not an nft I literally don't gaf#txt

conversation about oomf oc's actions having consequences in modern times had spawned a cursed discussion which in turn created them
Bonus: their disguise bird of choice
#bigeloo's scribbles#oc#oc art#reference#angel#principality#angel oc#principality oc#Joe principality#the ? at the end of her age is there because I'm not sure how old I should make her#because she was either created between the creation of fanfiction.net and the creation of AO3 probably#but then again she was created with the appearance of the scene kids in mind because they looked like the most approachable#so that would put her creation date much later than the earliest date#there's other factors at play also but either way whether she's like. 8 or 20 she's about the same mentality because angels mature-#physicially and have all the base knowledge they need to have to perform their duty within a week or so in me n my friend's lore#honestly might change the specific age later because I feel like that will create discourse I do not want myself or other people engaging i

anyways potential headcanon ideas aside i do think like. to me the idea of 'it does feel violating sometimes but the fact of the matter is this is the other guys body as much as yours at this point, you have to learn to walk a balance of both being aware and responsible for what other guy does and also separating yourself from it to feel normal to any degree. your body is both yours and his, it belongs to you except for when it doesnt, but you both are always culpable for the actions taken with it' is not the vibe that people are running with w lucanis and spite never occurred to me cuz its the reality people do live with and its one thats familiar to me. is this making any sense
#idk if im like. wording this well.#but the gist of it is basically. 'well spite is fronting when that happens#its not happening to lucanis' and theres like. complications within that idea#and i know its not one to one. but like.#idk man we go with what we know and most people dont know the reality of having a lil guy in there#daze.txt#dazen talks dragon age#i dont wanna discount the people weirded out by certain stuff cuz it doesnt feel consensual to them#but i wanted to put out there my vibe bc i think ppl on both sides of the discourse havent rly. considered it

2024 reads / storygraph
Exit Plans for Teenage Freaks
YA contemporary + a little sff
follows a boy who suddenly finds himself able to teleport when he walks through doors, often against his will
and has to figure that out while dealing with a new crush, the end of high school and the queer club, and figuring out whether he definitely wants to train to be an ASL interpreter like his father
#Exit Plans for Teenage Freaks#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#this was def one that is just a short YA book to read that was available at the library and i’d seen it has an ace SC so why not#It's fine! a little silly and definitely quirky. felt very 2018-queer-ya#both in use of the random sf element and also like. mc has a big friend group in every flavor#talked about addressed queer discourse in a relevant way most of the time (ie what’s the difference between bi and pan? whatever u want)#I thought the inclusion of ASL and the MC planning to be an interpreter - and the steep learning curve of that - was interesting#I think the ace character was done mostly well but a) why did it bring it up in a way that his aceness inherently took him out of the MC’s#(as the ace char still goes on dates with boys)#and b) why was the ace character ostricised from the queer club and not the guy who was aphobic to him#The sf thing is a little random but I feel like it gelled ok. It fit pretty well within this subgenre of#‘contemporary YA with a little sff but the sff is just there for the MC’s journey and it’s still mainly contemporary ‘#the whole secret agents thing was a bit silly. but also it kinda worked with the quirkiness.

if a jew writes or creates something about Current Events specifically through the lens of judaism (particularly religious judaism, not simply cultural judaism) i think that's within their right even if i disagree with what they've written/created. but it makes me really uncomfortable watching it get spread around by goyim
#and spread Widely#i just saw one of these with like . 13k notes. and like. man#it does not feel good#i wanna talk about me#it feels really. tokenizing. and like goyim are inserting themselves into a conversation that is inherently intracommunal#'it was posted publicly' sure but there are a Lot of things about religious judaism that are posted publicly online#that are still not appropriate for goyim to really touch#and i really really dislike the way specific facets and interpretations of jewish religion get coopted and spread by goyim#to advance or express cultural/political agendas#regardless of how mainstream those opinions are Within Judaism or how many other jews agree#and the one jewish voice is both held up like both a idol by and drowned out by the masses of goyim spreading it around uncritically#and without the understanding of or belonging to the (closed!) religion behind it#if one jew wants to frame their emotions or opinions on a topic (even a sociopolitical one) publicly through the lens of their judaism.#fine#but i do not think goyim should interact with that so widely. judaism as a religion is closed. it is ours.#if you are an outsider you need to respect that#and respect the fact that you do not get to comment on intracommunity opinons and discourse#and i do think that ten thousand notes on a jew's religiously framed opinion piece is a form of commenting.#anyway jews you are welcome to reblog and respond#goyim you can reblog or respond in good faith but stay in your lane#if you're rude i'm just going to block you.

So many anti rq proselfship blogs :(( why is there such a chasm of people I can’t follow within the somewhat limited community of people it’s safe for me to follow as a proshipper
#like I dunno I get not wanting to interact with specific ideologies within the rq community#but damn it’s such an umbrella you’re locking people out who just. Id with some transids and wanna safely selfship#I need people to understand that the rq community is not even majority pro-abuse much less wholly so#and most selfship rq blogs aren’t posting about discourse#it just feels useless at best and shitty at worst#you’re always allowed to not want to interact with whoever you want this is not me saying grr fuck dnis because they apply to me#it just bums me out :( makes me sad personally

a new lesbian character has entered the dallon literary universe/lover boy sphere
#the lover boy lesbian and gay solidarity is very important to me#i need to read more on lesbian + butch history in sf just generally but i can see beau finding a lot of connection with his lesbian besties#esp w his own identity as a leather gay man + bonding over shared experiences and same feelings experienced differently#i love solidarity i love community etc!#also not to briefly and vaguely comment on tumblr queer discourse but it annoys me how some posts i see take the whole idea of#'blending' within queer identities and how the lines are actually really blurred if ur not chronically online!!!#when its like...when you look at the history you see a lot of really beautiful instances of solidarity and community and sharing culture#that still do that with an understanding of boundaries and differences#but like to me its about how the ways different groups can come together! and the ways they don't!#especially as like. a transmasc who still feels closely connected to their time as a lesbian but doesnt want to be seen AS one anymore#and believes i can have that connection without needing to stay in a space that i no longer see myself a part of. which is okay!#that was a tangent but its been on my mind both w RR/lover boy and my own personal experiences LOL#anyway i think their name is ximena! love when i think about how lovely a name is and then a whole person materialises in my head#thats how half of my character creations go....
