“The caitvi sex scene was unnecessary >:(“

The three minute scene was unnecessary but the entire 40 minute episode dedicated to an au fanfic wasnt?

[andstuffsketches]

um, can you play a song with a beat?

[alowkeyclown]

sure i'll go with u to the haunted ruins wreathed in half memories from your traumatic childhood PLATONICALLY COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY PLATONICALLY OF COURSE IM SO CASUAL ALL OF THE TIME DON'T EVEN WORRY

[therealsquiddo]

just wanna say that you are a huge inspiration for me in both art and content creation<3 also what are your boundaries in fanart? Ive seen a lot of different things, ranging from "squiddo doesnt want fanart" to "they accept everything" :P

First of all... Thankyou :D

Secondly, I love fanart! I feature fanart in almost all of my videos at the end. You guys are incredibly talented and I love your fanworks so much that I want to show them off to everybody. That being said here are my boundaries...

I'm okay with people shipping me, it just sort of makes me laugh. But please don't go out of your way to send me any ship works featuring me, I just don't think that I should be seeing it. When it comes to NSFW I don't want people to draw that but I know that absolutely nothing I say will be able to stop it, so please don't feel the need to say "Look what this person drew!!" I know it's inevitably going to exist.. I don't want to acknowledge it... Annnddd lastly gore I've never seen it but I'm probably okay with it? I dunno. I won't put it in a video though.

Yeah that's it, everything else should be fine :)

gnc and butch women (cis AND trans) and transmascs are punished for performing masculinity past certain thresholds of arbitrary attractiveness because people that cishet society categorizes or clocks as 'women' are not supposed to perform masculinity. hope this helps 👍

Confession #550

If you're going to be mad that a canon ship has 1000+ fics when HenRen also has that amount but spread out over several years, then you should be furious that a non-canon m/m ship has 25k+ fics... you know, if this REALLY was about caring about the way that people write for lesbian couples compared to gay couples...

Just like some of y'all all of a sudden care about the female love interests

And just like you all of a sudden care about racism

But... it's not really about all that, now is it?

[reginamillls]

I think the deleted scene is simply showing you how much Buck is cared for by the people he chose to be in his life, and from someone who craved that care and attention for so long I just think that's neat that Buck has so many people now that do, and idk I'm just happy for him

hater alert! far too many people say that juri’s character arc ‘isn’t about her being sad about being gay, it’s about being sad about unrequited love that happens to be gay’ and. well. that is not true and by saying that you are completely flattening the brilliance of juri’s character arc which literally culminates in her being able to accept her own lesbianism despite her unrequited love, despite all her shame and self-loathing, despite this pursuit by Some Fucking Guy to try and ‘save’ her from these feelings. like if you think juri’s entire character is just ‘sad about shiori’ how do you appreciate even a modicum of the emotion packed into that final juri duel. it is both about shiori and, even broader, her lesbian identity and what that means to her intrinsically as a person, removed from romantic relationships and just purely as like. you know. Who She Is. the idea that even when juri’s locket is cut from her neck she is still a lesbian that’s still who she is and she cant change that and, crucially, she doesn’t want to even as she is agonised by these feelings. that’s why she forfeits the duel!!!! she’s clocking out she’s quitting she’s saying no!!!!!! this is me and ive got to be ok with that this is me and i can accept that this girl might not love me and i can keep living despite that. like. god im so normal arisugawa juri im so sorry that no one understands you and your intrinsically unapologetically lesbian storyline like i do

[bluesmileyy]

whenever someones like “lesbians shouldnt be so scared of interaction we need to start just asking eachother out it really is that simple” im really just in total bewilderment like wdym. no i cant.

like im not even disagreeing obviously its true and its sad how terrified we are of eachother but i cant imagine myself flirting or asking anyone out like thats ridiculous

[ravenkinnie]

how I sleep knowing that regardless of twitter outrage ciri is canonically bisexual and the witcher is one of few depictions (in Polish media!! if you're not Polish you might not realise how huge that is) of how wlw relationships are as complex and nuanced and can be just as abusive as straight relationships

truly, if we measured sexuality on the basis of consensual encounters there would be way less women in this world we consider heterosexual

even more so, as uncomfortable as this truth is, women everyday in this world stay in relationships with their rapists and love them and believing that lesbian relationships are or should be exempt from those depictions is not only stupid but also dangerous. there's already so little guidance on how to approach relationships when you're a wlw and there's even less on how to recognise abuse because many resources for women are catered towards straight women since the concept of rape is usually looked at through a lense of gender dynamics

but at their core gender dynamics are about power dynamics and so is rape - which is why it is actually important that ciri is vulnerable in that moment and that she is fourteen (!!!) and mistle is an adult, this is that power differential abuse that happens to women all the time, regardless of sexuality. I've met queer women who didn't know for a long time you can even be raped by another woman because we're barely told our relationships are as real as straight relationships

the concept of good representation isn't only annoying just because we want to have all these flavours of characters that are also queer that straight people get all the time, it's also about recognising that queerness is human and we have as many nuances and shades as heterosexuality can have and sometimes those shades are very ugly and unsavoury. I'm gonna pull out a quote from carmen maria machado's in the dreamhouse:

it's so important that it's not just straight people who deny humanity to these depictions, when we don't talk about them or dismiss them we deny ourselves humanity too. it's important to recognise those as real relationships, as serious relationships and to describe them how you would a straight relationship, to say rape, to say abuse - to use trauma bond correctly!!

because this is what it is, ciri is trauma bonded to mistle which is why they can have those vulnerable scenes, she can love her and that violent sexual relationship can exist alongside it. and I'm gonna use another machado quote here:

if you've ever been in this situation you will recognise that by the time someone raises a hand against you, everything has been turned so inside out and reality has been so skewed that inside this scene everything makes sense

I'm not sure if the games will ever reference this storyline - she does have the matching rose tattoo she gets for mistle so it does seem like they choose to keep this canon. but regardless of if it comes up in the context of ciri's queerness in future canon, her having experienced sexual violence by another woman does not deny it. you have so many women around you whose first sexual experience was violent and their sexuality is not defined by it

anyway, in this house we love bisexual icon rape survivor cirilla!!

it makes me sad honestly,seeing how in the Muslim community,atleast the one i grew up in, is so anti-art: "making art is haram..." "writing books imitates Allah" -im someone who found solace in art because i couldn't find that in other people , my guess behind it is that at its core, art is meant to disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed. Art , be it literature, film, drawing ,you name the rest , is too raw and truthful for a lot of the older generation and exposes too much so they pass on that fear and hatred onto the next generation : under the guise of saying "it's for your own good"

i finished this in the last 20 minutes of lesbian visibility week after not drawing at all LETS GO
