youcannot support a community if youdont support everyone. youcant support the lgbtqia2s+ community if youdont support two spirits, or lesboys, or contradictory labels, or aplatonics, or xenogenders, or trans people who dont actively present as their gender whether by choice or not, and more. youcant say you support the community if youdont actually support it. either support the community as a whole or dont and get out.

Is it kindness to lie? (IAC Pt.9) ((First/Prev/Masterpost))

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. First panel has a sideview of chibi!Plant!Yuan who is nervously wringing his shaking hands together with a worried expression as his demonic butterfly flutters concerned behind him. It next shows Chibi!SY perking up and turning with his arms slightly raised as if noticing someone and saying with a tired smile "A-Die! You're back! I was so worried-" It then shows Shen Jiu!Shen Qingqiu with a slightly guilty but down trodden expression as he avoids SY's eyes.

Panel two is drawn fully in chibi style. It shows SY's expression falling slightly taking on a more concerned look as he continues "A-Die? What's wrong? Where's Binghe?" Still looking away with an expression as if he's struggling to find what to say, SQQ responds "... He's gone." SQQ then continues whilst looking towards SY with an apologetic expression "He was slain in battle. ... I'm sorry."

Panel three shows SY with a horrified expression his shaky hands raised up as if going to cover his mouth, his whole body is shaking and his demonic butterfly flutters anxiously. SY mutters "no no no....no that can't be... He can't be-" It then shows SY launching himself at SQQ to hug him tightly for comfort as he sobs, his demonic butterfly trying to comfort him by resting on his head. SQQ looks down at him guiltily, as he wraps his arms around him and the other hand reaching up to find it's way onto SY's head. End ID]

#svsss #scum villain #shen yuan #shen jiu #shen qingqiu #mxtx #svsss au #plant baby sy au #myart #sj after lying about what happened to his son's best friend: surely this wont have consequences later.#truly sj believes that by not telling sy lbh's identity he is saving sy from a “betrayal” cause we all know the trauma he has around that #but in truth its only a kindness to himself as he is able to avoid the potential scorn sy could give him if he knew the truth #anyways thats a wrap on the immortal alliance conference!!!#thank you all who have supported this silly lil au of mine #rest assured i do plan to draw stuff for plant yuan #as i already have ideas for other arcs #but whether itll be a comic like this or smaller drawings with writing we'll have to see

so i replayed dmc 2 (crazy, i know) for dantelucia content, and playing on lucia's side of the story is so crazy bc it's literally what dante has been going through throughout his whole life

when lucia found out she was a demon and that she could lose herself to that side of her it scares her to the point of wanting to die/to be killed, going as far as to tell dante and arius to kill her bc she doesnt want to hurt others which can be reflected with dante's own views of his demon heritage which is something he feels he couldnt control if he ever taps into it so he does rlly reckless things to cope with it

dante even secludes himself from people and forming relationships outside of trish and lady bc of the fear of hurting them. even with dante's very reckless behavior it can be seen as him self harming which says a lot about his mental health plus the fact that in dmc 2 hes carrying the weight of grief which makes it even worse as seen with him going to hell not even caring on how to get out of it

like both of these characters became reckless ppl when they find out that they have demonic powers and the fact they both cling to the their love for people/family says a lot about their characters

but heres the thing....what makes these two so good to see is the fact that dante comforted lucia and even validated her human idenity by telling her that "devils never cry" and i feel like this line truly stuck with dante bc of what Lady said to him when he cried (basically devils dont cry and u arent rlly a devil if u cried over a love one), its just 3 simple word and yet it holds so much meaning for dante and probably for lucia too which she probably needed at that moment showing how emotionally smart dante is...

dante and lucia's views on their demon heritage is such a good way for them to have a long talk with one another about their feelings and thoughts of being demons and how to control the urge and how protecting people is what makes them human but also feel like its their responsibility bc of their demon heritage....like i need capcom to write more of their relationship or maybe someone just writes it in a fanfic bc their dynamic has so much potential the parallels...the love they have.....it makes me go insane

#devil may cry #dmc #dmc analysis #dante #lucia #dantelucia #these two make me go crazy i love their parallels so much and i bet dante sees a lot of himself in lucia and vise versa #like no wonder why lucia wants to get closerer to dante.....she doesnt have anyone thats like her who hates demons as much as dante like...#lucia just wants a friend to talk to and be there for support bc she has no one and she doesnt even leave the island to go meet new ppl #i hope ppl give lucia more charcater bc theres so much potential in her.....especially with her being so isolated on dumary island #sorry for dante lucia posting im just insane about them #also i wanna add that dante says the “devils never cry” to trish as well but its more like a “trish youre human!” type of way...#do yall get it ???? like for lucia its a comfort to validate her identity (as she thought shes a human at first) while trish is more like #“youre human trish!” or like “you can feel emotions too trish”

What's the Wardi cultural take on Akoshos sleeping with/partnering with/marrying other Akoshos?

It's not highly regulated to a degree that there are overwhelming cultural norms about it. There's a lot of societal focus on akoshos being theoretically suitable sexual partners for both men and women due to being dual-gendered, but not to an extent that relationships with One Another are stigmatized.

They also largely get to escape from the most severe concerns about penetrator/penetrated power dynamics because they're not regarded as Men (they're regarded as dual-gendered, and they're a female social class on every practical level), there's no status of manhood to Lose by receiving sexual penetration. The only real thing you see in that department is people assuming that one acts as 'the man' and one acts as 'the woman', but this is largely due to preoccupation with a notion of sex being Penetration With A Penis (and that Penetration With A Penis means that one person is in a Man's Role and one person is in a Woman's Role). But this will not be regarded as unnatural as in same-gender male relations, akoshos will Have to take up a position in this sexual dichotomy if they want to have Real Sex (Penetration With A Penis) with each other, and this is not unnatural and doesn't involve gaining or losing status since they are simultaneously male and female, not men.

So like you might see individual culture critics finding stuff to nitpick about it as their annoyance of the week or a singular Guy here or there who thinks it's weird, but this isn't a widespread norm. The vast majority of people don't give a shit about akoshos having sex with each other. The worst thing you're likely to experience Solely by virtue of being in an akoshos-akoshos relationship is someone asking you (probably with genuine curiosity) which one does the man stuff and which one does the woman stuff.

Akoshos also don't experience Hard expectations for marriage (though there are societal pressures that make marriage an attractive safety net all the same, ESPECIALLY marriage to a man) so unofficial life-partnerships between akoshos are pretty much the Only same gender partnerships between unwed people that are going to go unquestioned. ((Sworn brotherhood is technically a same gender life partnership for men that is Functionally similar to marriage (in that it's a kin-making practice between unrelated adults), but the tradition is Built upon the assumption that both parties will be married to women and that a primary goal of this kinship is to provide security for both parties' wives and children)). Marriage obligations in general are more lax in the economically secure but not Wealthy lower mercantile classes (as obligations to support and perpetuate one's family are universal, but these obligations can be filled simply by having at least One son who can get hitched, and marriages in the lower classes have no political functions and therefore there's less reason to ensure All your children are wed (there's still incentives like dowry, but this is not desperately needed when a family is economically secure)). So akoshos in this class group tend to have a Lot more freedom in terms of their life arrangements and chosen partners (though still experience the limiting frameworks of structural misogyny in other capacities).

The only thing that is out of the picture is akoshos/akoshos marriage. Marriage in this society has a predominantly reproductive function, the concept of reproductively non-viable marriages is generally considered absurd. This is not JUST this culture's form of homophobia, as marriage is a very practical arrangement at its core - both in a reproductive capacity and as bedrock for the patriarchal blood-kinship family system that forms the core social unit. The idea of same gender marriage isn't just absurd because 'ewwww weird' it's like, that Cannot work within this system, it Cannot fill core functions of what a marriage intends to do here, the ways on which marriage and kinship are BUILT makes same gender marriage practically (rather than just socially) untenable.

The sole exception to the 'marriage = reproductively viable" rule is that akoshos can be married to men (which in practice is almost always as a remarriage after a man has secured At Least an heir). This has a Little bit of internal logic here in that they perform predominantly female social roles (thus are suited to being a wife, even if they can't bear children) (and also on practical levels of them having the same legal status as women) but it's really more of a 'this is just how it's always been' kind of thing. A lot of the older pre-Wardi identity dual-gender roles that got mashed together under the 'akoshos' name would have involved marriage to a man as a second wife/concubine, in addition to his primary wife who would bear his children. Men potentially having multiple spouses has not been retained as a cultural practice, but the notion that an akoshos Can be a wife to a man has survived into modern day legal and doctrinal practices around marriage.

So like this being said, marriage as it is legally defined is only between a man and a woman, a man and an akoshos, or a woman and an akoshos. In practice the latter two are comparatively VERY rare- a man/akoshos marriage cannot provide children (though an akoshos can practically fulfill all other obligations and duties of a wife), a woman/akoshos marriage Can provide children (and while akoshos cannot function as a male heir, these children Will take their akoshos-parent's family name (though the wife retains her father's family name)), but akoshos are legally grouped with women in terms of rights and privileges (including being permanently under legal domain of their father unless they have been legally handed off to a male husband) and Cannot provide hard power patriarchal support that this family system is built upon and therefore depends upon, which makes these marriages socio-economically insecure. They can obviously still be a good partner and parent, but this is not the same as having the Legal hard power of a patriarch.

Akoshos marrying each other would be reproductively and socially nonviable, and is treated as a similarly absurd concept to a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman. It's just not a part of the marriage and kinship framework, it's not a thing that you can Do.

#Akoshos are also probably like.... 1-2% of the population. Like its an Accepted gendered space but not a large one so it's less #'managed' in a lot of senses #It's actually kind of hard to 'access' the akoshos space to begin with. Like parents look for Signs In Early Childhood and most #akoshos are typically assigned their gender early.#If you don't manage to access this space there's a good chance of being Stuck as a man with any deviance from your expected #gender roles being the HIGHLY unaccepted 'male effeminacy' which is a VERY different concept than (though obviously has tensions With)#being akoshos. A lot of akoshos self-label as adults after losing support from their families in part for being '''effeminate men'''#(this is also kind of the only instance in which gender self-identification occurs on a basis that will be Broadly accepted. Though #this happens in the context of already being detached from one's familial support network and people not knowing you self-assigned)#There are also certainly Some cases where akoshos self-identify as adults and this is accepted by their fathers. For a variety #of reasons but unfortunately often it's going to be like-#'we must have missed something but whatever. glad our kid is actually supposed to be this way and isn't just effeminate'#Also much less likely to be accepted if they're an expected male heir without brothers to take up the role in their stead #And VERY unlikely in upper classes where family members are public figures. If you've been introduced as a man here you're probably #out of luck.#(Like you'll see accusations that adult-assigned akoshos are just pretending in order to disguise being male effeminates)#This position isn't freedom from gender norms or like. The equivalent of an accepted trans identity. It's its own assigned gender #space in an Expanded but strict binary with expanded but strict roles #Also the societal trends over centuries are showing signs of increasing collapse between the notions of 'effeminate man' (bad)#and 'akoshos' (normal). At this point the concepts are still very separate but the current societal trajectory is leaning towards the #akoshos role being phased out of its normalization (in tandem with Wardi culture becoming more intensely patriarchal with #the collapse of Wardi groups into one identity)#Like 600 years ago there was NOT a concept of 'effeminate man' and proto-akoshos roles were a #more central concept that enveloped divergences from expected masculinity. Whereas now the akoshos space is significantly narrower #and the concept of 'effeminate man' exists in tandem as a stigmatized descriptor. And things have gotten to the point of #people claiming that ''effeminate men'' will 'pretend' to be akoshos #The akoshos identity becoming stigmatized/phased out isn't inevitable but the tensions around it are definitely growing #Though there's also a sense that Peak Patriarchy has been hit and you're starting to see people pushing back at these norms in fairly #notable ways. There's not going to be like. A feminist revolution but civilian women getting more political freedoms (while the overall #context stays patriarchal) is a likely outcome which could also have side benefits of relaxing masculinity standards Somewhat

the absurd amount of ppl on tiktok who are participating in the whole 'whats the definition of lesbian' and 'are lesboys valid' discourse who are so anti-discussion that they comment 'cringe' when you tell them to read actual lesbian history is so funny like ??

#why do you think reading queer history is chronically online #if anybody is chronically online its YOU because you cant have an actual discussion about complex gender identities and labels #like who cares bro #we literally have transphobes running the entire country right now are lesboys your biggest problem #real lesbians care about queer & trans rights before having label discourse !#sorry for the rambling #rant #lesbianism #to be clear: this blog supports enby lesbians gnc lesbians and trans lesbians and people who use the term lesboy i literally do not care #as long as youre doing activism past label discourse i accept you i couldnt care LESS #i love being called chronically online because i care about queer history like at the end of the day one of us logs off and talks to their #entire friend group of queer people and one of us doesnt so uhhh #if being autistic about queer history is cringe i will be cringe forever

LOOK AT HERRRRRRR <3333333

#i think i forgot the depths of my obsession until she showed up on my laptop screen. she has appeared briefly three times now.#every time so fair i have gone SARAAAAAA!!!!! out loud.#im normal. im normal.#i love my fucked up little wet rat. im obsessed with the way she is a broody assassin. im obsessed with the fact that she becomes the #captain of a time travelling ship.#im obessed with the way shes started out by just being obsessed with a boy she had a crush on in middle school.#to the point that she went on a yacht trip to sleep with him despite the fact that he was in a serious long term relationship #with her sister.#i support women's wrongs.#im obsessd that two years into her castaway adventure she's already doing shit like loading up an exchanged hostage with c4. she's amazing #shes so weird and traumatized and trying to be cool and mysterious so bad.#arrow lb #sara lance #her offputting nature and bisexual swagger have bewitched me.#anyway. fun fact. one of the main reasons i stopped watching legends of tomorrow (her show) and eventually dropped dctv altogether.#is that they finally gave her a long-term love interest. but they decided to make that love interest a second blonde woman with long hair.#and i just couldn't handle that. im sorry miss ava i did like you. but i couldn't take the show smashing two identical barbie dolls togethe #it was too much for me. if you are going to give me queer women on tv who do not look particularly queer. im ok. i can live with it.#but at least give them two different hair colors.#its so petty im sorry.#it would've been fine if they had a fling. but she became one of the main cast i believe.#which is like. bad enough. you give me a superhero time travelling team up show.#and two of the team members are blonde white women. and then you make them kiss. insane decision.#i literally have two action figures of her sitting on my bookshelf lmao. it's literally just her and sam wilson.#oh wait nvm. wonder woman is there but shes a vinyl figure (fot a funko pop) riding a horse.#also also mercy overwatch. who is unfortunately a funko pop.#and also a second mercy overwatch funko pop. but a tiny keychain version from a dear friend. hm. maybe i have a pattern of being obsessed #with fictional blonde women.

i've seen you reference a couple times that you're not into the idea of Damian being batman when he grows up which i completely agree with on a narrative level as well. this begs the question though...what do you think would fit Damian best when he grows up? (and why is it Nightwing COUGH COUGH)

ideally, i would love for him to create a new identity and forge his own future without any ties to a legacy 😭

i’m a sucker for the whole Grayson legacy aspect they tease with Damian so i would be happy with him as Nightwing, but i’m content with just seeing fan interpretations of it 🥺 i think Nightwing is so tied to Dick Grayson it’s hard for me to imagine it as a mantle that needs to be passed down unless Dick’s choosing to do so

anon i do see the vision though 😭

Nightwing (2016) #19/20

not that heirs should automatically get the mantle but if Dick did have the option. like. Dr. Hurt outright calling Damian as Dick’s heir, on top of Dick’s own subconscious in the form of a Nightwing Damian

Nightwing (2016) Annual #2

AND THEN THIS PAGE AS THEY ZOOM ON DAMIAN WITH THE TEXT SLAPPED OVER HIS FACE “…WE BOTH KNOW YOU’RE THE LAST OF THE GRAYSONS”

#sorry for the tangent but when Damian legacies are mentioned btwn Wayne and Al Ghul its funny that there could be the secret third option #we both know you’re the last of the Graysons as it pans over Damian echoes in my damn brain from time to time #im firmly in Dick realistically being Damian’s big brother but. Damian’s really the closest thing Dick’s had to an heir huh…..#but yes Damian’s very own hero identity when he’s older would make me cry i would be so proud 😭#i don’t care if his suit turns out lame or his hero title’s cringe i would support the hell out of it 😭#ask #dynamic duo 2.0: what would you do without me?

people : its important to be inclusive, yes even of identities you don't understand ! support he/him lesbians !

these same people when its about using multiples contradictory labels because identity is complicated and fluid : if you support this you're actually evil

#i support he/him lesbians btw #but just #just learn the history of your own fucking label before saying such bullshit online #and in your dni lmao #stop being chronically online #yes its about mspec lesbians #JUST LEARN ABOUT LESBIAN HISTORY IM BEGGING YOU #you cant be political about lesbianism and act like you know whats good or not for the community #while simultaneously ignoring lesbian history #thats not how it works you dont get to pick and choose whats real or not #mspec lesbians have existed since the beginning and its only on the internet that people started acting like theyre not valid or whatever #btw being bi doesn't inherently mean liking men and women<3 #lesbianism in the most common definition I see (liking women and non-binary people) IS an identity under the bi umbrella.#like im sorry but if you think it isnt like #do you think enby people are just randomly included in all orientations just because you dont know where to put them?#are we like a bonus so your label can be considered inclusive?#you can not be attracted to nb people like imagine being a lesbian against mspec lesbians and say “uh they want to impose men in lesbianism #then say you like women and enby people when non binary is such a big umbrella that can include people who identify partially as men #like what do you do then?#nb doesnt inherently means agender or partially woman you know?#i just think its important to think about these things before saying nonsense ^v^#youre free to use the label you want of course and youre free to be lesbian and say youre attracted to women and non binary people but just #dont say such stupid thing if its your case #because its not coherent

hey did you know "fuck off" isn't a DNI. You can tell people not to interact without saying "fuck off" because you disagree with others. Also I'm unsure why it's so unbelievable to you? No one can read your mind, no one is entitled to agree with you. Literally anyone can be an endo, there's, no point in invalidating people based on stance disagreement :/

?

i know "fuck off" isnt a dni and im not acting like it is. i think dnis are kinda dumb and i dont have one.

i just want them to know that i dont like them. because i dont. and most people dont want to interact with someone telling them to fuck off so i'd honestly say its more affective then a dni.

no idea what the second half of your ask means /gen

#its not unbelievable that the “all identities are valid” group supports nontraumagenic systems. it'd be weirder if they didnt.#i'd say that putting a specific tag on every post is the opposite of expecting people to read my mind #and obviously nobody has to agree with me on anything? when did i ever say anyone had to agree with me? /genq #and im not invalidating anyone as a system at all. hating a certain community doesnt mean i think every system apart of it is a faker or wt #what on earth are you implying ive said #lol.txt

How I imagine myself (aka want to be)

Vent in the tags (sorry in advance)

#Honestly almost cried while sketching this #I feel so stupid #Like why did I agree to wait until i'm 25 to transition #Oh wait I know #Because I love my parents to much and they only really support me if I a) am 25 or b) my mental health is really really bad #Also it's that part of my mind that's doubting everything. That it's just a phase. That i'm not actually transmasc #Also the psychologist I used to go to supported the idea to wait till 25 and was talking about some whos she knew #And how that girl wanted to be a boy but she got a boyfriend and she didn't want to anymore #Or that boy who wanted to be a girl but later found his identity and was secure in his agab #And she kept saying/asking; “Would you be able to accept to be just a manly woman??” And similar questions #And I know it's stupid but because of it I just keep questioning myself over and over #Because now i'm especially scared it's something I grow out off #But I just want to look in a mirror and be happy #And while I do like my clothing. I want other stuff but I feel goddam dysphoric in that #Only things I can change about me is piercings and my hair but even that is something my parents aren't really keen of #Atleast the length is something they are okay with but if it's kinda more a “”man's style“” and I hear only “oh my god it's so manly"#Honestly I just hate that i'm to scared to do anything about it #All the while I suffer #cause I just cant get out of the house without a binder. Always checking how my profile looks like. Crying when its not how I want it to be #Or almost crying when my mom says “that size is better for a girl like you because other wise it looks boyish” even when I confided in her #transmasc #transgender #trans artwork #Trans #Artists on tumbr #Lgbt #my art <3 #my own post

Is that "I want to make a new Judaism without Israel" person even Jewish at all? I looked through their blog; it's been around for over a year but if you search any Jewish-related tag they use there's not a single post before 7/10. I don't want to accuse, Jews come in all varieties (even shanden), but come on... better to be a goysiche antisemite than such an embarrassment, right? Anyway this is just to say thanks for always dealing with these people so the rest of us don't have to, it's a huge service to the community.

I don't think it's appropriate to speculate about people's Jewish identity when we don't have anything concrete saying if they are or aren't. I don't know anything about them and I'm not really interested in spending time to look, but their views are not unique. I'm aware of only one real-life Jewish community that has tried to completely remove Israel from all of their services and holidays but it's extremely small, like ten people. So I mean there are Jews out there who have made it their mission to do that, it's just small and most Jews are very against them.

#ask hinda #i know that antisemitic antizionist jews are out there but they dont really have the means to start their own congregations #given that no one will ordain them as proper rabbis #so how can you have a community without a rabbi lol #anyway its all very sad i feel bad for them #because they all are so lost and confused about their identity #and then they bring up neturi karta as examples for antizionist jews #and ive heard of rabbis putting a ban on marriage with any member of neturi karta #which is more symbolic than anything because i dont think they marry outside of their own community #but jews have made it very known that we dont like them or support them politically #but theyre brought up that way theyre taught to hate themselves and other jews its very sad #to look at their kids and know theyre going to grow up so fucking confused #and hateful #its all very sad

ive said it before and i'll say it again seeing that ugly ass "new" pan flag put alongside the rest of the pride flags is like a jumpscare

#it looks so unnatural #and every time you see it it's just Oh Yeah Something Happened Here #it looks so sad and depressing compared to the liveliness of the other flags #drained the pan flag of all its enthusiasm and colorfulness and joy and honestly that entirely represents their empty exclusionist soul #also entirely like twt to replace of flag by a creator who supports a queer identity they dont like with one made by a race baiter #totally have ur priorities straight 👍#pansexual #panromantic #pan flag #pan lesbian #pan gay #queer #lgbtq+#inclusionist

i feel like i could write an entire mini-essay thing on why draconification rules as a narrative thingy + why it, the dragons and the thematic of immortality/undeath are so relevant and impactful towards botw/totks characters and themes as a whole. like i WONT because it really is just text thats already there. but i could .

#i loveeeee it. its so miserable and tragic and so fun for my brain to munch on #i am learning that miyazaki (fromsoft) tends to include dragons and humans wanting to Become dragons as a common theme in his work #theres this futile pursuit of immortality and the punishment of it (often humans being trapped in ugly half-man-half-draconic states)#or they become wyrms who are trapped to roam the earth with wings that aren't even large enough to fly and support their own weight (hubris #and of course the entire loss of identity that comes with all of that.. its rebirth in the truest sense of the word. nothing is left of you #in botw/totks case too. defying death but losing everything that made you who you were. are you still dead? are you even truly alive?#its interesting too because of how sacrificial its portrayed in botw/totk. it really highlights the unwitting nature of the whole thing #OKAY ANYWAYS. elden ring and fromsoftware good. i am just constantly loz brained also #personal.txt
