I recently started reading (and ended up dropping partway through) an m/m retelling of an old legend, and it made me think of this reoccurring thing I've come across a handful of times now in m/m fiction and how they approach women, equality, and world-building.
Let's call it the omegaverse problem, because that's where it seems the most blatant (I've only come across it twice outside of fandom spaces that I can remember). Basically, it's when the writer looks at the unequal and sometimes oppressive roles women serve in society (today and historically), and goes 'this is a good basis for dark romance but there are too many women here' and then just. plops men into the roles traditionally served by women and recreates heteronormative tropes but They're All Men Now, none of those icky women.
Now, completely removing any and all gender based inequality isn't a bad basis for a queer-inclusive fantasy! But thing is, this type of narrative isn't interested in women, so they often read as if women have mysteriously disappeared from society (except for the occassional mom or sister). They don’t bother to include women in traditionally male areas (the book I dropped had plenty of male courtesans, with diplomats and bodyguards and advisors also being male) nor to create new roles for them.
They also generally don’t bother to look critically at the systemic and societal inequalities they're mimicking. The concept 'typically sexist society but they're all men (or all women)' could be used to alienate and deconstruct our ideas of what’s 'normal' and what’s oppressive, a way to compare the intersections of class and gender. Instead, this kind of story is only interested in using inequality as inter-character conflict and set-up for romance. And it sucks.
#rambles#i assumed going in that the original legend (which i was unfamiliar with) was a bromance kind of thing#and that the author was reimagining it as explicitly queer#but it kept feeling like one of the roles had simply had 'she' replaced with 'he'#and looking up the original yeah it was an m/f romance#and switching that up to m/m is obviously fine!#but women felt so wholly removed from the worldbuilding and the narrative where they had been central that it started feeling like erasure#if it wanted to be a sort 'gender blind' world where women and men could equally fill all roles that would've been so easy to do!#literally any of the side characters could’ve been gender flipped!#but no everyone but the supportive sister and dying mom Must Be Men#this is what you get when the author doesn't slow down to think about the implications of the worldbuilding#good fantasy always thinks about the implications of the worldbuilding!!#anyway i would usually have had this rant in a review/critique#but my personal policy is to never review a book a didn’t finish so. tumblr complaining time instead. yay#nella talks books

"Man Ginger, why don't you like doing lineart for things?"
BECAUSE IT TAKES TOO LONG AAA
Art for me is usually more about getting the broad strokes of an idea out so I can more easily visualise it when writing/planning. This, unfortunately, does tend to clash with my innate need to be good at the things that are important to me but I think I've gotten better about embracing the 'messiness' of my style over the years.
That said, LOOK AT THIS HYAPOLLO WIP I'M WORKING ON?? POLLIE'S COMING OUT SO GOOD LIKE??
I usually describe Apollo-as-Agreus (Agreus is the name he takes on while he's mingling with the mortalfolk) as having gold-brown hair both because he born a brunet in my story and because the word 'xanthos' in and of itself implies something that encompasses an entire spectrum from true-blond to auburn? My visual shorthand for this has been to just have Agreus' hair be a duller blond than the sunstreaked cloud colour of Apollo's more divine hair but MAN I was NOT expecting to love properly attempting to represent Agreus' hair this much! Ugh, I'm so excited to finish colouring this set of images!!!
#ginger rambles#ginger draws#apollo#wip#pursuing daybreak posting#I LOVE MY GOLD-BROWN SON#All the gods have various names they take whenever they're vibing with mortals tbh#It's very very VERY bad to call a god by name because that's like annoucing their name over a pa system#Apollo's name when he's with Hyacinth is Agreus but some of his other names throughout the years have been Kouros and Ephebus#combined with Agreus he usually just uses very general names when he's around which is really funny because he is a very abnormal presence#looking for that super pretty man you met at a dance festival and you're like “I'm looking for Kouros!” and everyone is just#“buddy this is a dance festival we're ALL kouros here”#He complains about Hermes' sense of humour but he's just as terrible#Agreus comes from his epithet as Apollo the Hunter btw so essentially his name with Hyacinthus is Hunter#You'll never guess what job he takes while he's hanging about the palace

team snakemouth gijinka but more of a Fantasy™️ au than just regular humans. featuring our spin on the concepts of halflings and dwarves where they are creature animal. and leif is uh ??? the horrors
bonus doodle
#bug fables#bug fables spoilers#bf vi#bf kabbu#bf leif#gijinka#stuff i made tag#we have never showed the face of our kabbu gijinka before now#we just don't think he's meant to be de-helmeted but it was necessary to show off his funky mole nose and whiskers#most of leif's octopus features are still covered by their clothes though. nobody needs to see that#the bee (halfling) kingdom still lives in a tree like usual#vi here is based on tasmanian devils but they're mostly inspired by possums and the like#the parts about their ages were only included because we think it's funny#vi says she's 13 and means 'im almost an adult' but kabbu hears 'that is a TODDLER'#we have even more thoughts about the setting in general but we should. read more of the thing that inspired this first#about 40 chapters to go... hooray (this is fun to read we are not actually complaining)

Idk I feel like I live in another dimension than most of the OBM fandom on twt. There has never been free pulls on half anniversary besides the permanent gachas, like my god we know Solmare Is greedy but you're inventing stuff to get mad to
#post0400#obey me#obey me nightbringer#like most of the announcements this half anniversary have been mid at most. where is all this vitrol coming from????#like if you follow me you know I complain about NB non-stop. but you're inventing a guy to get mad to#putting this in the main tag bcuz stop spreading missinformation. if you have problems with the game it's fine! I have problems with it too!#but there has never been 10x free summons on HDD.5. because they usually have 4 Urs + 2 Ssr in the event.#the 10x free summon is when they have 12 Urs. that's how it always have been#at least since the triworlds became dateable

thinking about all those times ive seen people be like "if i was bullied as a young child i would just punch them" and thinking Wow they actually have no idea what it's like to be picked on.
#auburn's rambles <3#like it's not as simple as that i wish it was#and it's usually when they're complaining about reader inserts too#how y/n is “too soft” for getting upset when it feels like everyone is against them#like i think we need to realize that bullying in your formative years can really knock you down#like you will never be as confident as you used to be ever again#it's great that some of you can say it wouldn't affect you in your hypothetical scenarios#but holy shit. it would. it always does.#one way or another they will find a way to get under your skin

I bitch a lot about being put in high stress situations on here while full knowing im addicted to the pressure and the challenge tbh like id literally be so bored if it came by easy
#I’m my mother’s daughter at my core it’s tru#But it’s nice to complain sometimes in true 22 yr old girl fashion#Imagine if I didn’t have to do 70 things at once#That’s so not my style#I will say even tho I think I’m usually high functioning despite my funks#i will never beat my mom#She is the definition of workaholism

I can't describe how important capturing akutagawa's expression in that moment was to me, like that's such a pivotal character moment, a revelation of his feelings for atsushi and it deserved to be done justice, sskk nation I'm so sorry.
#bungou stray dogs#like it shouldn't have been hurry up and go you fool (angry)#it should have been hurry up and go you fool (affectionate)#like COME ON#it's not complex animation that requires like 10000 frames per second#a smile and a shojo filter would suffice#bones why do you hate me so fucking much#it's fine at least we have the manga#mind you i never complain about the adaptation cause usually it's things being omitted that i believe the story can do w/o#but like w the sskk moment in ch36#this is unforgivable#sskk#bsd#akutagawa ryunosuke

Something that really bothers me is people being mostly sub watchers and then seeing a dub episode and complaining that the characters are "totally butchered". That's because there's a whole show of building that character in a slightly different flavor, y'all.
Actually, correction, something that really bothers me is people complaining about the yugioh dubs.
#dub watchers I am protecting all of you underneath my wide wingspan#sub watchers I am kissing you gently on the forehead#people who hate on subs or dubs I am breaking into your house and taking a bite out of every food you own#the amount of times I've seen people complaining about lines in the dub that I thought REALLY HIT#bums me out#I usually never comment on this because I consider it too negative#but y'all. y'all.#be nice#yugioh#yu gi oh#yugioh dm#yugioh gx#yugioh 5ds#yugioh zexal#yugioh arc v#yugioh vrains

reminder that my totk rants are me just rambling about my thoughts, ideas and complaints, im not trying to analyze anything, be smart, be right, debate or convince anyone who likes it that its bad just bc i think its bad or simply dont like the choices made, im literally just spilling out my brain so it doesnt keep haunting me
if you think something makes sense that i think doesnt i, and forgive me for being so blunt about it, do not care why you think it works, my opinion of this game will not change and i am okay with that
you are free to disagree with anything i say of course but i really dont care why, sorry
(sth i said only in the tags before but added now in this edit bc i think its important: its not bc i dont want to hear other peoples opinions and live in ignorance or something, but bc im tired and i PROMISE you i have seen 99.9% of those arguments already)
im not trying to be mean, aggressive or dismissive, but again, these rants are just me rambling with no intention of arguing with anyone, the only reason im still posting whenever i think of something thats bothering me (even if it might be dumb or be disproven in game bc i am not all-knowing and might be possibly misremembering something), and letting those posts be rebloggable/interactable is bc i have been told by quite a few people that they like reading them or that they feel validated in their own disappointment
thats it.
#ganondoodles talks#i usually seek/like interacting with people on my posts but not really in the case for the rants#like if you also have stuff to complain about or agree yeah go right ahead#but if you are trying to take down every one of my thoughts with arguments as to why im wrong or being unfair#i dont care#and thats not bc i want to live in my own little world and never hear of other peoples opinions#but bc i PROMISE you i have seen those arguments already#alot even#too much even#and i dont care that you love the story#im sorry but i dont#i think its shit#so i will say why i think it sucks#and im not looking to be proven otherwise#bc people are biased and will always like different things#and thats okay#its okay to read soemthing you dont like and then move on and forget it ever happened#if i see a post i dont like i MIGHT go and ramble on my own without saying which one it was bc i just have thoughts that need to get out#but im not looking to argue nor bother OP with it#if i dont like something for dumb reasons i think thats just as valid as liking soemthing for equally dumb reasons

guys the light deity is literally called light WEAVER ...... it makes sense to have pupa/grub dragons. they are weaving
#pinescreeches#flight rising#the fr drama has been crazy of late. honestly very interesting to watch#my 2 cents if anyone cares. i love the everlux#so grubby and fat and ugly#we need more ugly dragons ... which maybe is hypocritical since i didn't like dusthides. but they weren't really trying to be ugly. i think#this isnt' about them though#the sundial / seam ripper horn??? the grub/pupa/caterpillar themes???#they remind me of weaver ants ....#anyways people complaining about artwork problems as if every fr artwork doesn't have ten billion issues with it#ESP THE OLD BREEDS ... LIKE#it's ok it's the fr artstyle to be a bit bad i accept it and welcome it#and it's ok to just not like a dragon breed ... i'm insanely picky with mine#for instance i love the concept n stuff of tundras but i hate the actual art for it ... idk why#and i've never really been a fan of snappers. maybe cuz their art is so old (same w tundras)#also for bug phobic people ..... ok i get it. phobias are uncontrollable and irrational#some things are just gonna set it off even though it doesn't make any sense#and fear usually makes people aggressive to what scares them#but there is no need to be so violent towards everlux ....#like if someone had a dog phobia it would not be ok for them to be like “i hate how canid they look i hope they get wiped out and die” or#detailing gruesome imagery#so why is it ok when it's a bug ....#i mean i know why but i'm asking rhetorically here#man idk sometimes u are just not gonna like things and thats ok not everything is for you... like i don't like dusthides that much but that#okay. it's okaayyyy#writing a ten page paragraph over here in my tags#i just have a lot of thoughts

Thank god Sasha was confirmed bisexual, otherwise people would hc her as lesbian solely and exclusively because she's kind of a bitch.
#like it's a stereotype at this point. happy bubbly character HC'd as bi or pan. weird almost alien-esque character HC'd as ace/aro/aroace#skinny depressed sadboi man HC'd as gay. physically stronger taller and more extroverted and confident man HC'd as bisexual#and of course. mean bitch HC'd as a lesbian#i really don't get the ''nice fun and bubbly = bisexual'' stereotype at all#like what does it meannnnn#is it meant to represent how they're more ''open'' to ''more people''??#and lesbians being mean represents ?? idk that they're more ''closed''?#also see how the fanon male gay characters are usually like sad delicate flowers that must be protected and fanon lesbians are#just more ''rough'' somewhat. or at least closed off and cold or distant somehow#''frigid'' is the word that comes to my mind (yikes)#btw I LOVE that Anne and Marcy are characterized as lesbians a lot of the time in this fandom#since they're definitely much more ''soft'' and like cutesy and sweet than big mean Sasha#i love lesbian Anne (extroverted. confident. likes playing matchmaker. super super social. local jock. quite girly when she has the chance)#and I love lesbian Marcy (soft adorable bubbly girl. surprisingly extroverted. VERY hyper. vv energetic. adorable n precious cinnamon roll)#i kinda like the idea of aroace Marcy as someone who clings to her friends so desperately because she sees them drifting away from her#and priorizing other types of relationships (romantic bonds) while she's left alone because THEY were her everything#and she gave her whole heart to them#but they never gave their hearts to her because they were waiting for someone else to give them to. a romantic partner.#something marcy could never be#but I also feel like sometimes the ''weird girl'' thing might give off alien vibes somehow (?) like she just clearly doesn't belong in this#in this world she doesn't belong to this species she doesn't experience what most humans experience#i have mixed feelings on aroace marcy but tbh i don't care enough to like. complain about people who see her that way lol#though I admit I prefer lesbian Marcy a lot more#my posts#btw one hc i really do adore is trans girl Anne. idk if it's ''too stereotypical'' in relation to her like about who she sees in the mirror#i find it so soft and sweet. how she learns to love herself. how she forms a sense of self. trans girl anne my absolute precious#amphibia

One day you will reach a point where someone will misgender you and instead of feeling the jab of disappointment or fear or mockery, you will only feel confusion or bewilderment or even just...nothing, whether you correct them or not. And you will realize how far you've come, and how resilient you've grown, how much comfortable you are in your own skin.
#spitblaze says things#i complain too much about transgender stuff. lets get some positivity going#anyway yadda yadda usual disclaimer. i cannot speak to everyones experiences or lives. im not psychic i dont know ur circumstances#i just know that reaching the point of some terf misgendering you to get a rise out of you will one day be less dehumanizing#and more like. annoying or pathetic#yeah thats great i will never be a man uh huh sure. u got any better material i dont have all day#or like someone will just...casually misgender you. you will be in the street and someone will 'sir' or 'maam' you wrong#and instead of stressing about what made them clock you you'll just be like 'what'#and if ur still in thr place where ur not sure if you will EVER be in a spot where itll be either chill or confusing#remember. cis people get misgendered too#men with long hair will get ma'amed. women with broad shoulders will get sir'd.#there are individual pieces of clothing that will make people gender you a certain way and you will not know why#ultimately there are a million things that could cause someone to clock you or anyone else incorrectly and its 1000000% subjective
