I got a haircut and I loved it but wasn't sure if it suited my face and then I posted some photos and every one of my art friends were immediately like "omg serveee" "omggg it suits u smmm" "Love the hair !!" Hahaha
#its very gender which is fun#thinking about the one time i had a similar cut and was fascinated by how i could look so androgynous#i just hope it looks good in candid photos hahaha

i was thinking about your dirk and hal poll and i want to mention that i think your concept for ink and iron where dirk creates hal from his reflection by enchanting a mirror is so cool 😌
thank you! hal's predicament and purpose within the canon narrative is so fascinating and i felt it was really important to find a way to explore what i find most interesting with him. i can't take full credit for the concept though i took inspiration from a few placees (one of my friends pitched the idea of the mirror accidentally dumping him onto jake's doorstop for example) but overall i think the idea is very fun and i'm really excited to write more hal stuff!!! also i'm going to take the opportunity to share this oldish doodle i found:
the mispelling of angel as angle was NOT intentional (<- dyslexia haver) but it probably explains a lot. he's pointy
#obviously an AU is going to be different from canon#but i like AUs specifically *because* i have a lot of fun trying to translate canon ideas into another setting or genre in general#in this case its a riff on the fairy tale magic mirror#hal is still an experiment gone wrong/artificial being created to serve a purpose trapped in a non-physical form and denied personhood#as well as being an extension of dirk's selfhood and very literal expression of his self image#this time with extra gender problems as per my original intentions for the fic. which now feel more than a bit heavy handed but whatever#point is hal gets to play up the trapped demon/spirit/almost genie-esque angle isntead of the artificial intelligence schtick in canon#which i am having a lot of fun writing!#he is also a very important plot device. multitalented 💕#for anyone wondering i&i is NOT an abandoned project its just huge and whipping it into shape is slow going#i've taken breaks to work on other stuff too#ink and iron#i guess that's a tag i should start using#even though i'm not too happy with the title still. lmao

also while we're here i would like to share the two iterations of tumblr user gorespawn that have existed since i abandoned this blog back in like early 2021. Who wants me
#i grew my hair out so i could twirl my hair while giggling about bald men#and also t.o.p of bigbang#and short men i see at the grocery store who honestly make me feel light-headed with raw and unbridled Want#but that's just a joke. i am. Lesbian#''no ur not'' I AM#anyway i used to be so ripped and hunky but now i am frail and sickly#what getting a job can do to a mf#thankfully i quit my job last week YIPPIIIEEEEEEE so now i will work towards becoming an absolute hunk again#wish me luck#ALSO#if anyone is obsessed with me and remembers all my lore i used to be transgender and i still am like lowkey on the down low#but in a new exciting way#anyway i used to be a gay man and then a stone butch dyke (as seen above) but now im practicing being a girl#it is very difficult but it is also fun. ive never been a girl before so it's a lot#anyway i bought two super cool sexy dresses yesterday for the first time ever in my life#sexy dresses meaning up to my neck and down to my feet and past my elbows. kind of like a wardrobe straight out of the handmaid's tale#from (to quote my friend) ''*The* old lady store'' thanks man. well i think theyre pretty and its v exciting bc ive never been a girl befor#anyway#who wants me#i still use the name emil online btw and i honestly always will i think it's just so me and also i do still answer to he/him dw#in a man way not in a he/him lesbian way#''he's LGBTQA+'' what. all at once?#yes.#i have mastered them all i have collected all the genders and all the sexualities and ive never been ''wrong''#it just keeps switching. which is fine. well im a girl now. in a detransitioning man way. who is insanely attracted to men#but you will have to tear this lesbian label out of my cold dead hands#''you can't call urself lesbian if u have sex w men'' well first of all fuck you and second of all i am celibate so you dont need to worry#''what the hell are you talking about'' nothing. now look how hot i am#im just joking around i hope that's fine w y'all

Do the matoran even know what the difference between male and female is. Did the great beings ever instil the knowledge in them or is it just something that they like. Picked up from other species like the vortixx and skakdi. And makuta i guess. Do they assume female and male are an oversemplification of the elemental thing. So like you have female which is Water and then all the other elements just get funneled into male which instead of a specific element is just Not-Water.
How do they rationalize lightning matoran then. Like are they a subkind of ga-matoran? Because water is a good conductor for lightning? And what about Orde and the psionics. Great Beings go well we cant have you be male now bc youre too destructive, lets make the next ones all female, and Orde is just like what the fuck is a male. Or a female. Never heard of that in my life.
#bionicle#random talks#honestly its very fun to think abt these things and using them to make the matoran even more distanced from the audience#really let them be their own weird n fucked up lil species#i like the hc that their element is their gender which however in turn causes Great Confusion abt the use of male and female distinctions#so i imagine they Did jus pick that up from other species and used it in a really simplified way. but also the dont know what it means#like they mightve assumed that Vezok n Vamprah and Tarix n Berix were female bc they were blue. which. is baffling to everybody else#but makes Perfect Sense for them#edit didnt include nonbinary/genderqueer identities bc based on the elemental gender hc theyd literally go 'oh yeah' and not question that#theyve got at least 12 genders probably so they can understand the idea of a spectrum#its SPECIFICALLY the male/female distinction thats Weird for them to have bc theyve got Absolutely Nothing to base it on

object show characters being named as their own objects might strike you as odd, but is it really that strange? with humans, differentiating each other using names is necessary. we're all "humans," so there's not much to name off of. physical features, maybe, but people can often share those...
however, with objects, there's a clear distinction to name someone after. and, why do names exist? to distinguish people from one another. why would you make a name, when there's already a perfectly good one right there? and sure, there's people who are the same object, but there's people with the same name too. they'd probably get nicknames/slightly different names... besides, that's why surnames exist.
#wheucto#wheucto speaks#osc#object show community#Be subjected to my thoughts.#<- /silly#tags don't add onto my point at all i just wanted to ramble about how names might work in an objects' universe#though this doesn't mean human-esque given names can't exist... like_ nobility tended to have a bunch of names... there might be something#- similar there? like they had non-object names#also for someone super well known like royalty_ it's probably important to distinguish them from other objects of the same kind#also for patronymics/matronymics... theres going to be people named something like [object] treeson or like featherson... thats so silly#in this system_ it would be very possible for someone to be named “feather featherson”#bc your parents wouldn't really choose your name#also i like to imagine an america (US that is) where they just have crazy names bc they wanted to be able to choose their own#since the nobility and royalty had names but the commoners didn't...#i dont know if that would be likely but i think it would be fun!!!#also since it'd be a movement started by like_ adults... it would mostly be people choosing their own name... which (i think) would lead -#- into a society where people are typically expected to choose their names#(maybe parents would name their children... but it'd be accepted if they later changed their name...)#(though i'd imagine being called like your object name as a child could be kind of weird... but who's to say people wouldn't like their -#- object names?)#and like... if you're choosing your own name. imagine you're like twelve. you'd probably like name yourself after like a character or -#- something similarly stupid. like internet names_ except it's real life!#also i wonder how gendered names would be? i mean_ they could probably develop somewhat similarly to human names?#and i wonder about if there's like a difference between how... um... upper class people with names (in non-US countries) and americans -#- treat names... like for an american maybe_ being called by your name (or its derivatives) even among close ones is the norm#but elsewhere it's common (for those with names) to be referred to by your object when you're close to them

very compelled by elsters gender both in a transmasc and transfem way bc well elster transmasc lesbian? beautiful wonderful 10/10. she is a robot whose body was made to fit the standards of what people consider a woman to look like, as is the case with most other replikas, so once she starts being treated more like a person of her own instead of just a worker robot, its fun to think of her chafing against it. on the other hand theres elster who was made to look like a woman/her neural pattern is copied from a woman, but is still treated like an object thats only there to do the job. shes referred to by others as 'it' in a dehumanizing way altho not purposely degrading bc they dont consider her a person enough to see this as cruel to her in any way. and slowly she ends up regaining her personhood and a concept of gender that feels right, as much as it can, considering the circumstances
#its complicated right. bc i dont think replikas would consider this much but also idk they are conditioned not to#elster being with ariane who disobeys the rules of what youre Not supposed to do with an elster replika clearly ends with her regaining mor#of a personal identity and willingness to like. make her own choices that arent orders#dont tell me about how this game is not about gender i know. its impossible for me to see a robot character and Not think about gender#especially in this case where theyre so clearly gendered#but still they are almost exclusively referred to as units and replikas and model names#i think falke is the one who actually gets she pronouns in reports? and most of it is by adler who is also a replika#anyway i think its very fun how all these robots are so clearly gendered but also not at the same time#which to me makes the concept of elster choosing to think of herself as a woman also very trans#she is made to look like one she is not meant to Be one#and its hard to say she would think of this bc we rarely get elster think of herself at all#theres two instances i can think of where she refers to herself#txt#signalis#yes u can use it pronouns in a normal not derogatory way but u know thats what was intended in the game

not my previous opinion on firefly coming to bite me in the ass JAHDJSHJD
#honestly her design is iconic#i think its the least fanservicey design hsr made so far#barring the child/younger teen characters' design obviously#firefly's design is still very gender and cute while being practical#also ofc Sam. is Sam. we love u sam. sam firefly. IHwdsjssjeheueb explodes#(for context i was previously unhappy with the fact that firefly and sam is one and the same)#(because i wanted a playable robot/mecha)#but kamen rider magical girl firefly who pilots / transform into huge metal warrior sam is so fun which i love#and the fact that firefly is canonically like . an biologically manipulated or engineered human#and is very much . older than a lot of our cast#first stellaron hunter (super cool)#the way her name signifies how her life is like#chefs kiss design#winx club looking ass splash art name title . thats a compliment btw#im very much looking forward to looking at her beautiful eyes up close . and also running around as a tall metal guy with fairy wings ahaha#kamen rider moment truly....#also ppl saying its a clara svarog situation isnt getting it#clara and svarog are seperate characters just one in the gameplay#as svarog is claras robo dad/protector and just fights for her#honestly shouldve been clara & svarog like how topaz & numby are called that#but firefly is firefly. SAM is SAM. theyre one and the same#SAM is her alternate identity as a weapon and firefly is her true self#MAN....#i think writing wise fireflys ''death'' was still not as hard hitting as possible#it was mostly shocking#which isnt bad writing#i still got attached to her#but when it was sad for trailblazer it just felt like a WTF WHAT. HUH moment for me#which kinda has like a disconnect#anyway im rambling too much

just wanted to let you know that your art changed something in my brain chemistry. i love how you design the bad kids, especially riz. it makes me love him even more 😭😭
thank u! fantasy high as a series banks a lot on heightening and exaggerations, and trying to work with that general sensibility while translating the designs into something I have fun drawing has been nice to do :]
#not art#its kinda funny to approach fh with like. a bg of shounen/gag manga? wild how much genres can differ when targeting the same demographic#tho I havent read shounen in a While lmao. the last series I picked up was uhhh tetsugaku letra#its very Gender even though I dont think it? aimed to be? it talks a Lot abt performance and failing social expectations#and I think if you wanna talk about stuff like that you kinda eventually stumble into Gender Stuff#well. to be fair the main character literally picks up and chooses to dance with a pair of women's flamenco shoes#so maybe I was just being pessimistic abt the series not aiming to talk abt transgenderism lmao#anyways I did also pick that up and then realized as I read it that wow. I have Fully outgrown this genre#which is fair bc I'm almost a decade out from being a teen. I have the privilege to grow up and get a bird eyes view of childhood#but yeah. its kinda fun to see how teen movie archetypes and shounen archetypes differ so much#and finding the thread of connection between all that#but very specifically abt riz. listen. listen I was a meitantei conan acolyte for Years (am now a hater lmao)#I have an unfortunate affinity for detectives. riz gukgak is a bullet with my name on it. laser targeted#and also this season he gets a pair of glasses which is one of the only objects I can fully draw from memory. u can probably notice#from how I draw them lmao#I think I have a sketch of his previous looks somewhere in here... I gotta look for that

SHAVING JOB FINALLY DONE 👍🏻 and by that I mean ive banned myself from my scissors until tonight because otherwise I'll keep fucking w my beard and whittle it down to nothing:/ this cause was not helped by me pulling out the clippers for the first time in months and having to get used to those again and I got maybe overzealous but ehe ^_^ now I'm like. Normal man beard length I think. Instsad of 'trans guy desperately holding onto any and all beard no matter how long or disheveled' length.
#stuck to the neckbeard n sideburns i tried giving em a bit of shape#so theres some bits i removed like completely which is a big move#also i used only the bare clippers n i hope thats satisfactory bcos otherwise ill have to learn how to shave :/#which tbh would b very gender and i do have a razor banging about i think. but :/#left my chin hairs and such mostly alone bcos i want them to be longer theyre novel + nicer than neckbeard#but i did have to trim a couple down :(#all in all this was a good idea its a new fun look and i actually get a look at whats going on w my beard instead of Being Ambiguous

It's pretty hillarious when I have to use my dead name for medical settings or whatnot and Alfie is with me bc we're both gnc enough that like. 80% of the time people assume they're the feminine one
#which i mean comparitively they are lmao#theyre on estrogen and i have pcos so like. if im binding i DO look more masc than them#very fun gender times for both of us but always kind of funny when i have to be like. haha yeah no thats me (:#they usually dont ask me to come with them for medical stuff but same thing has happened with like#picking up parcels in their deadname and people assume its me#something something proof that gender esentialism is bullshit and the average person CANNOT tell trans from cis unless its glaringly obvious

I'm really realizing that my biggest ick in books is when man / woman / any gendered term is replaced with "male" and "female". Typically I see it used in romances with non human characters but like. Are you really dedicating yourself to "yes these angels/vampires/fairies/were-whatevers have a sexual binary that humans TOTALLY have but dont call them man or woman! bc they're not human!"
#the book i just read had all of these in story btw#they NEVER want to have any fun with it its just sexism#its very 'noooo theres no trans or intersex people here- yea theres gay people but NOT LIKE THAT'#vibes wise to me#completely Trying to sidestep gender and then slamming face first into the idea that sex is a binary#i tried mentally replacing male / female with 'normal' gendered terms and it did make the text feel less weird#which is such a shame for the book i was just reading - i think it had a solid story aside from that weirdness#yea the power of love and friendship is all powerful HOWEVER#im not shocked when other books do it bc its pretty explicitly straight to start with - but when authors are trying to shake stuff up -#-with gay characters it comes off as. lets say disingenuous at best#its shitty as a trans person bc theyre trying to dodge the gender convo but worse to see people hammer down on sex binaries#we have four chromosomes & intersex people are as common as redheads in the us#this isnt a hard concept for a novelist to wrap their head around imo#slipspeaks

trying not to go crazy and start killing people every time i see another mane 6 redesign post
#I MEANNNNNN. i think its fun sometimes but bruhhhhh when they change their designs completely.. U HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#ive said this 1000 times sorry im a hater and proud#im also a hater bc i dont like the rat style tails ppl give the unicorns. i just dont sorry LOLL#i think it can be fun to give them accessories and stufff but also they do... have stuff like that in the show.#like its redundant to be like 'i gave rarity clothes to show her as a designer' when she very often wears clothes anyways#its just its her base design.#to me it feels like when ppl go 'ermmm how come this cartoon character always wear the one outfit' completely ignoring animation and#character design principles.#also this is a personal nitpick but when ppl give rd short hair and stuff likeee. part of what i like abt her deisgn is shes still 'girly'#even tho she has more traditionally masc interests etc. same w aj#like its very basic ideas abt gender but idk for the type of show it is i think its cool to show u can be both#also nitpick again. they never include spike or starlight . WHERE ARE MY POOKIESSSS.#the only good redesign concepts ive seen r when they turn the mane 6 into bg pony designs. thats funnn#otherwise its not rlly... redesign. its just ur hcs#which is fine but dont phrase it like that just for the Algorithmmmmmmm. u can just say 'i like to imagine twily wears glasses'#u dont have to be like 'ermmm well to show shes a nerd i gave her glasses unlike the original design'#which is just kinda funny#ironically moon dancer is literally how 90% of twily 'redesigns' look#also yes. dark purple twilight looks cool. BUT ITS NOT AS READABLE OR MARKETABLEEEEEEE#they r pastels bc it is little kids show. they r simple designs so kids can draw them easy#also when ppl make rd dark like a storm cloud even tho she is not even. associated with storms RAARAGHHHHHH[KILLING PPL]#SHE IS A BRIGHT SUNNY SKY AND A RAINBOWWWWWWWWWW BC OF THE MAGICCCC. NOT BC OF ACTUAL RAIN/STORMS#might also be a huge hater bc im not so much of a fan of xeno designs in general buttttt. whatever#whatever. one dauy i will end up making my own mane 6 interpretations and u all can throw rocks at me

and i wont lie hockey is like 80% a gender thing for me
#re prev#i also enjoy it as a sport its fun to watch and very fun to play#however.#partially because my brother got to play it while i was relegated to ballet instead#but also because unfortunately my gender leans towards rural ontario dudebro hoser#which is to say 75% of all nhl players fulfill that#tennis does not do this for me. tennis is for twinks to engage in intricate rituals#which i enjoy but isnt doing anything for me gender wise#i want to see HAIRY MUSCULAR MEN who BEAT EACH OTHER UP
