I RLLY LOVE UR BLOG OMG 😭💗💗 IF U CAN, CAN I PLEASE REQUEST A THING WITH THE FIRST 3 UPPER MOONS WHERE WHERE READER ACCIDENTALLY CUTS THEIR LONG HAIR TOO SHORT AND REGRETS IT? I HAD THE SAME SITUATION BEFORE 😭😭

Aww, thanks honey! and of course! 🖤

➤ The 3 Uppermoons reaction to your haircut

featuring: Kokushibo [uppermoon 1], Douma [uppermoon 2], Akaza [uppermoon 3]

— A/N: sorry for being gone for so long (again) i tend to disappear and reappear whenever i please. 😂💀

(not proof read btw!!)

KOKUSHIBO

let’s start off by saying that before you even pick up those damn scissors to cut off those voluptuous locks he is IMMEDIATELY stopping you.

Is he doing this because this is his special way of throwing a silent tantrum over the fact you’re cutting your hair and he’s one of those guys who likes people with short hair? NO!

Is he doing this because he’s very observant and knows you’ll fuck it up and then regret it afterwards? YES!

Do you listen to him?

…

No :)

SOOOO you end up cutting your hair.. and.. let’s say it’s a total DISASTER AFTERWARDS.

Horrible would be an understatement!

(at least to you.)

You’re flipping your shit at this point and Koku is just looking at you with a “i told you so” look.

But hey! it’s okay! he still thinks your beautiful no matter what even with shorter hair. He doesn’t care about that and only loves you for you.

You could be bald and this man would still love you to bits!

Kokushibo actually finds it silly that you think he’d care so much about your physically appearance.

He finds you freaking out over it very endearing and now you have to admit you should’ve listened to him since he was right about you ‘fucking up’ your hair.

DOUMA

“Oh my! what happened?!”

Quite literally Douma’s exact words!

He just returned back to his temple from a mission to find a pair of old scissors in your hand and hair stands all over the floor.

Oh, so messy! He isn’t too fond of messes..

But, you know, since it’s YOU, so he’ll let it slide!

Questions what in muzans name you were doing.

Let’s pretend muzan is an expression because it’s funny.

Much like Kokushibo he’ll find it amusing how distraught you are over something so little!

It’s just hair.. why do you care so much?

He still finds you beautiful! not the best at validating your feelings though because he thinks you being legitimately upset over this is stupid.

Always found you being upset by the tiniest of things so dumb but also fascinating.

Douma doesn’t feel anything (so he claims..)

So therefore you feeling so strongly compared to him keeps it entertaining.

But he finds himself feeling somewhat sorry and comforting you in the end..

Strange.

Reassures you that your hair will look great long, medium length or short. he adores every part of you!

AKAZA

Akaza actually likes your hair short!

Not even like.. HE LOVES IT!

Digs it. i’ll tell you!

I feel like he’d like women/men with shorter/medium-length hair.

(Of course he is still attracted to you regardless of your hair style)

Since you’re dating a demon obsessed with fighting..

He actually teaches you how to defend yourself (so that when he isn’t around you’ll be able to fend for yourself)

And fighting with short hair is wayyyy easier! it doesn’t get in the way when you’re training.

Whenever Akaza would train you, you’d always have to put up your hair.

It sorta irritated him because why not just cut it? Or trim it?

Until you finally go through with it..

Shit turned into a whole fiasco. ☠️

You’re upset over it but he convinces you to look on the bright side. attempting to make you focus on the positive aspects rather the negative.

“You’re still so beautiful! Don’t be upset over your hair. it’ll grow back.”

You miss your long hair and regret cutting it and you know it’ll grow back but you can’t help but feel salty.

At least it doesn’t get in the way when Akaza trains you anymore so that’s a bonus.

I was so impressed with your toe-to-toe comment on the French philosophy anon. So happy to have found you, omg! I heard Taylor called her ttpd set as the "female rage musical." I take it she knows the impact of the song Labour by Paris Paloma which has been dubbed as the female rage anthem. So naturally, here is the 34 year old culture vulture, can't-have-any-ideas-of-her-own that is Taylor Swift hopping there wanting to get the attention away from it when that song is quite phenomenal. One song compared to her 31 diss tracks that's nothing to me, at least, but the excessive sentimentality of an infantile woman in her 30s. It's gross the confessions she's put on that album. And even her own fans are comparing her to Olivia Rodrigo. That's she's copying everything about her - song, outfits, the "female rage" theme just to mock her. Somehow, Swift thinks it would do her a world of good. People are catching on to her antics which are absolutely disgusting, btw. I'm hoping one day you write about all these completely ridiculous gross things she's done using her own lyrics. You know what I mean? I hope someone write about her nasty lyrics and that it completely destroys her.

Thank you ha, I'm glad you found something meaningful in that post. I will not lie, that Anon actually hurt my feelings for a second (I got over it by writing my response), but I was upset at being so misunderstood. I'm not out here levying unreasonable criticism at Taylor Swift. All will be based on reality, or interpretation of her own lyrics.  I’m defs out to get her though- in the most legitimate way possible- and maybe someday I will publish for real on her. I have a couple of criticisms that I will not be putting on my blog- because I want to say it on a bigger platform. : )  

I do see a lot of harmful things in her music that I have been resisting the urge to write about for YEARS! Even back in 2009, listening to "Love Story" I remember thinking to myself, oh this is nothing like what Shakespeare meant and it's also a weird appeal to the patriarchy through the "I talked to your Dad/ Go Pick out a white dress." It's so clear that she's just reduplicating mainstream attitudes on romantic relationships by using Christian Conservative social standards of needing the father's permission to ask the girl's hand in marriage. She obviously wanted to attract the Christian- Conservative fan- base with that song, and that's exactly what happened. Her marketing is tied to the phrases she places inside her songs in a way that is extremely calculating. She, Afterall, learned from the best at attracting mainstream, Christian, conservative fans, Toby Keith (hate that fascist, white nationalist freak). (WHoops, that was mean- oh well, he’s dead anyway). (and if he wanted me to be nice- he shouldn't have been a fascist).  

It's so obvious, and I really figured everyone else was also aware of the ways in which Swift interpolates patriarchal standards in her music. I have many more examples- I could write a whole essay on it.  

Apparently, everyone thought she was a feminist? Bro, she became a "feminist" if only to evade criticism and capitalize on mainstream pop-feminist trends. She's not a real feminist. Her use of “feminism” to evade critique ties directly into her other marketing strategy of telling the world “I’m so innocent and young” all the time. 

Also, her co-opting of the phrase Female Rage has made me angry, exceptionally angry. I saw that she's trying to trademark the phrase. I am incensed. I will post about it soon. 

I wish Swift would stop co-opting legitimate terms and pulling only the most shallow- self-centered conception of the term out to use in her mediocre music. She’s like if Pinterest was a person- and I’m tired of it.  

Paris Paloma’s “Labour” is amazing, because guess what- it actually speaks about the experience of women under patriarchal standards in a way that respects the seriousness of the topic. I absolutely believe that Swift saw how viral that song went and decided she needed to cash in on that too.  

And she is totally copying Olivia Rodrigo. Can you imagine being 34 and trying to act 20? I would die of embarrassment. But it's so obvious that it's getting weird.

I have much more to say on this topic- sincerely I could write a book on the conceptual point of “Female Rage” in media. I have thousands of examples, and I’ve been studying this stuff for years. I will, however, ramble on no longer. Thank you for your kind words- and I hope you enjoy my upcoming writings.

Honestly, the beardings don't bother me much ever. I don't know if it's just because I'm new or what, but they kind of just roll off my back. I guess I've just... cemented it in my head that it's just a business thing, likely, and that Taylor doesn't have to come out ever if that's what she wants (I believe she wants to come out). More bearding moments will come up, that's expected, but that doesn't mean they're suddenly the truth. I personally don't think they are. TK kissing Taylor with a camera shoved in their faces doesn't sway me, it makes me more confident that it's fake because love's not for show to Taylor. Ms. "I would die for you in secret", Ms. "They got no idea about me and you", Ms "older guys, just playthings for me to use" etc. At most, it felt it's most upsetting for me when she changed the Karma lyrics—that was a bit much. But TK yapping about how "happy" he is with her for some reason doesn't get to me. Is that weird? Should it? Joe and Taylor were "happy" too before they "broke up". I mean, Karlie's seemingly pretending to be married with kids to a guy, that's arguably worse (I believe Kar's kids are indeed real and hers, don't get started on assumptions with me, hetlors).

What gets me are hetlor and actual pieces against gaylor. The backlash to the New York Times article legitimately saddened me. To see so many people, especially queer people, ignore/forget/be unaware of the queer history of speculating on others sexuality was really rough; especially when it's still a thing! I see femme sapphics online talk about wanting to express queerness without telling people their sexuality so that other queers can spot them all the time! News flash: that requires speculation, that thing that's apparently so disgusting! And to see the conversation of it be so trivialized as "Don't out people!" or "Don't be gross!" when strangers can't out strangers through speculation and there's nothing gross about queerness. Especially with how mainstream the discourse became—it was upsetting to not be able to get away from it.

BTW, I understand it gets really annoying to see bearding. You're fully valid if it makes you upset, I'm just saying my feelings.

sometimes i wonder if my love for writing fucked up gorey stories was just something i gained naturally over the years or if i was just nuts as a kid and always thought that thing was fun

and then i remember when i was younger i played the same copy of animal crossing happy home designer for years on end non stop. what i would do in it is set out to make like the creepiest most discomforting hospital possible. it was my favorite thing to do in that game nothing even came close. but i kept on getting like really really angry that there were no premade blood and gore items to go in my scary hospital like i really wanted nintendo to add an item that was just a dead body in the corner or something i would spend literal hours making my own paintings of dead bodies and blood and skeletons and shit and then i’d get mad at that because it wasn’t a real object in the game or the blood didn’t look convincing enough, i would spent forever deciding on what music was the best for a scary hospital but all the tracks i had were like happy animal crossing music so i’d get mad about that too. whenever i got upset that the game didn’t have enough graphic evil scary skeleton imagery i would just lie down on my bed and imagine a version of animal crossing happy home designer where you could add blood and intestines. not even go and dream about it just picturing a world where that was possible. i think the funniest story i have from this time was me asking my mom if she could call nintendo and ask them if it was possible for them to add. legitimately. a feature where your villagers could get sick and die. just from An Illness. because i thought it’d be immersive for my scary hospital if little charming cartoon animals died forever from like asbestos inhalation or something

so no yeah i’ve always been like this. i was like 10 or 12 during this time btw

Kid stu hc

I feel like stu would be those really fast talking kids

Loves dinosaurs

Has a very apparent speech impediment

And is always in trouble

And definitely missing a few teeth

Kid Billy hc

Hates being called william

He's a shy quite kid until you mention horror

Stu usually has to speak for him

He definitely does parallel play

Corrects stus grammar

Yeah I agree with all of this. All canon in butterfly eater (which I am planning to add to btw, giving some backstory to some stuff that will be mentioned in wave of mutilation).

A couple more hcs:

Stu steals constantly, little dude is just grabbing random shit and putting it in his pockets. He doesn't steal from Billy though because Billy is protective of his stuff and would be legitimately really upset. Stu doesn't really care if he upsets other people though, so they're fair game.

If Billy starts talking about something he's actually interested in he's one of those kids that sounds like a mini adult, using all of these old fashioned words and turns of phrase he picked up watching old movies with his mom. He even speaks with a bit of a transatlantic accent he picked up from the movies too. This inevitably gets him teased but luckily Stu is both socially capable and rapidly defensive so the teasing doesn't go far

Dr pt2 spoiler warning

This was a fantastic set of episodes

• Kai and wyldfire are everything. Kai having to deal with someone who acts like he did in the earlier seasons is poetic justice and funny as hell.

• I also like how they kinda tried to explain why Kai seemed calm after sea bound and nyas seaifcation. I guess Kai meditating with wu would make him calmer. At least it confirms that Kai was upset (even if they didn’t show it)

•I am kinda upset that nothing from skybound was brought up with the Djinn. I personally don’t really like skybound but I still find that it could be used more than just oh yah that happened right wink wink. I mean we had to suffer through skybound for something right?

• I actually really liked sora and nyas whole plot with the Djinns curse. It was fun and had a nice conclusion.

• Coles return is great I love his little gang in the land of forgotten things. My favorite has to be the skeleton girl (I forgot her name probably cuz they only say it like 2 times) she’s funny.

• I do wish there was a scene where nyas like btw I found Cole and the other ninja react. I mean she does mention it at the end but no one except Zane has any real reaction.

• Beatrix going off the rails was really funny. It felt like someone gave a teen with daddy issues an insta death weapon.

• rapton switching sides kinda came out of left field for me. Like the guy isn’t the brightest bulb in the box I think it would be more likely for other characters to switch sides. Also how did he recover from being tased so quickly? Man was out cold and not two minutes later he was up and walking around.

• kinda felt that the whole being sucked into non existence should have had more lasting effects (totally not because I want to traumatize or brutally injure Kai no why would I want that /s) tho fake out deaths are pretty par for the course with ninjago, this one actually didn’t make me feel all that much cuz I knew the moment wyldfire got pulled in that this was a fake out. They wouldn’t kill one of there new characters that quickly.

•so wus just legitimately fudging dead. Never thought we would see the day when this old mad would just peace out. Also ghost wu legit looks like he’s slowly loosing his form or something cuz in the first half he appears with his full body but in the last scene he’s in he’s just a chest and a head. It might have just been a stylistic thing tho.

•I’m not mad jay only showed up for around 30 seconds (this just might be my bias tho cuz jays probably the ninja I care the least about, not that I hate him or anything he’s just not that interesting to me) it’s kinda refreshing for me cuz nya gets to be her own character for a bit and not be completely attached to Jay and Jay gets to take up less screen time (if I am being honest Jay had so much focus in the wild brain seasons it kinda got annoying to me personally) idk if he’s actually lost his memories or if that leak is wrong cuz it would make sense cuz he has not searched for the ninja (specifically nya cuz that man is a simp for his gf) Arin missing him by a second is hilarious to me.

•not sure about how I feel about Lloyd being the linchpin for the entire thing. Part of me thinks that it would have fit the shows themes better if all of them used their elemental powers or something else to power the cores to fix everything. But another part of me understands that Lloyd get main character privileges cuz he’s the son of ninjago god.

•still kinda frustrated that they are changing how elemental powers work. Originally they were from the first spinjitzu master, but the whole source dragon being the source (for lack of a better word) of the elemental powers, it completely retcons and nerfs the first spinjitzu master. It would have made more sense if they still came from the powers of the fsm and were gifted through the source dragons to people.

•the implication of the cursed realm merging with the rest of the realms brings up the question if the departed realm merged to? Does that mean no one can die??? Or is there some sort of force that still keeps the departed realm separated from the rest (like how the people in the land of the forgotten can’t leave) or can some dude just wander in to the departed realm and see like there dead grandma chilling with the fsm having tea or some crap like that.

•Lloyd going I forgot there are two of them now towards Kai and wyldfires antics is peak writing. And all the arson and explosions the two created is just beautiful.

•I think the Kai and wyldfire duo should be called like the arsonist or the kaboom duo

•THE HUGGG!!!! My boi was so happy looking when the tackle hug was done.

•I just cant get my brain to shut up about these two. They give off tired dad who sometimes gives in to his old chaotic ways he’s sworn he’s grown out of and living embodiment of chaos and fun daughter who drags her dad into crazy things.

Tdlr I loved this second half and had a few issues with it but it was still really good.

[anonymous-dentist]

It's been a couple of days since the last QSMP lore stream and merch drop, and there have been two DRASTICALLY different responses from the fandom:

What the fuck oh my god why did they do this what the fuck >:( I'm very angry >:( I'm on twitter btw

Yayyy omg the Lore is back!!! :D :D :D Fuck twitter btw

I've seen SO MANY passive-aggressive posts coming from users on this website that are all saying something along the lines of, "I'm happy that the server is getting back on its feet! The eggs aren't in a coma btw, they're just out of service (looks at angry twitter users who can't get over the fact that things aren't being solved immediately)."

And, really, I think almost everybody on this website has missed the reasons why other fans are upset over the recent lore stream and the merch drop. They think it's all just whining about how things haven't been solved immediately, but it's really actually all about how things don't seem to have been solved at all.

See, the thing with the Egg Lore Stream was that, uh. None of the admins currently on hold know whether or not they have a job, including known egg admin Ryan. You might know them as Sunny's Actor, and they were pretty taken aback when Egg Lore was revealed to be happening last Saturday... without Ryan, or seemingly any other known admins whatsoever, knowing. And Ryan isn't a former employee, they're a current employee. They haven't been let go.

Ryan, and other current employees, have all been stating that communication between the QSMP higher-ups and the other admins hasn't gotten better at all. Nobody knows if they even still have jobs because the only way they find that out? Through livestreams.

Ryan, and any other suspended egg admins sticking around, only found out that they aren't, like, fired because of a goddamn lore stream.

And for former admins? It's interesting how the admin team put Pomme and Dapper in the little coma machine despite Pomme's actor, Lumi, and the French all saying that they'd rather Pomme die than get replaced, and Lumi isn't going back to the server. And Dapper's admin, Shade, isn't going back without Lumi.

So imagine being them and finding out through this stream that, oh, wow, you're just going to be replaced. An entire language group is quite possibly going to be lost, but it's fine! Actors can just be replaced, right?

Just like how Twitter admins can be replaced by a bot after being fired in the middle of the night with no warning.

Oh, and shall we mention how it seems that the whole Money Thing isn't going anywhere? How we had a paid writer admin come out and say that even after the changes were starting to be made internally that the higher-ups changed the writer's description of the Pomme figure to be as soulless as possible, because if there's one thing the QSMP admin team seems to have, it's a grudge against the French. But then, remember? The writer said that, despite being paid for February and being promised to get paid for March, that they haven't been paid? And they don't think they ever will be?

And how they thought they would be fired for speaking to their friends, aka former admins?

I think that quite legitimately every admin that has come out after leaving the company, or who is still part of the company but who still made a statement anyway, has said that they hope that the QSMP can continue because they believe in the project, but they don't know if it will because nothing seems to be changing behind the scenes.

But, yeah, sure, okay, say it's all just people whining about how change hasn't been immediate. It's people just complaining about the lore! They need to grow up, right? They need to touch grass? Right?

But, well. Being critical is absolutely vital. Does that mean people should harass the admins? Absolutely not. But that does mean that people should be like, "Hey, so why is the admin team still being so shady?"

Things can't be fixed immediately, but it's been over a month. The problems with communication are still continuing! They haven't stopped! It's just that nobody on this website is listening to the admins anymore.

Trusting ccs is fine and all, but keep in mind that they didn't know what was going on before, either. With the general lack of transparency still going on behind the scenes, how would they know if it's all been fixed now?

(There's both a TL;DR and a poll at the bottom; the TL;DR is right above the poll btw)

I was discussing about romance in media with a couple of people on a Discord server. I asked for feedback on one of my ships to see if they would fit a comment someone made that romance in media is that it isn't enough to have a healthy romance but the dynamic must introduce something entertaining that compensates for the lost spice and tension.

I shared the description of my ship (basically a F/F OC ship for my Hamlet fic):

Side A (Clytie):

Clytie is a passionate, devoted lover towards her girlfriend, Solana, who loves her back just as much. She treasures Solana and loves her with every ounce of her being. Solana is the sun to her moon, and whenever they're together, Clytie lights up (no pun intended) from her usual dreary personality, bringing out a more playful, snarky side to her. Clytie is extremely protective of her, giving hell for those that seek to harm her and calls off people that try flirting with her. She is aware of Solana's naivety and how gullible she is, making her easy prey in a morally gray world, adding incentive for Clytie to protect her. Sometimes, she's too overprotective to the point that Solana is quite restricted in what she can do and only lessens it if Solana directly calls her out on it. The concept of intentionally hurting Solana is unimaginable to Clytie and if she upsets Solana, she'll apologize profusely and attempt to make up for it..

Side B (Solana):

Solana loves Clytie with all of her heart and is very affectionate towards her. However, the former found the latter to be too overprotective of her and is legitimately concerned that Clytie won't be able to function independently from her. As much as she loves her, Solana doesn't want Clytie to be so reliant on her. Being the saner woman in the relationship means that Solana keeps Clytie on track and has been trying to teach her to not be so dependent on her. She'll speak up if she feels that Clytie has been too obsessive over her.

That person then responded that it's a realistic, pretty healthy and sweet relationship albeit the overprotectiveness might be cliche but it doesn't stand out in terms of appearing entertaining unless it's a major romance that isn't a big deal to worry about.

This ship is what my fic focuses on. It is an angst fic and Clytie is not above revenge like Hamlet.

And more on the fic, this isn't a 100% fluff fic. There are fluff scenes but they're in-between the angst and trauma. This is a fic that's a tragedy and going to have the Major Character Death warning. So, perhaps the sweetness of the relationship is like the light within the grim darkness of the fic and if something happens to it, you know that shit has hit the fan?

TL;DR: Was told that my ship, while healthy and sweet, is not interesting enough to be the focus of my story

[chaifootsteps]

One creator's pet I grew to despise is Marinette/Ladybug from Miraculous Ladybug. What an AWFUL MC. She is an obsessive stalker who memorized the routine of her crush and has the tendency to neglect her partner Cat Noir (Who is Adrien, her crush, btw but she doesn't know)

One of her worst moments was this

https://youtu.be/3KE_fwPOQeo?feature=shared

Which is her being generally creepy and obsessive over what she thinks is a wax statue but her going into detail about "it" smelling and feeling just like him is just...ugh.

And to top it off she's based on a "what-if" child with his ex, Sabine. Even named Marinette's mom and dad after him and her.

Btw, Thomas Astruc is Vivziepop but as a man. Like legitimately the most passive aggressive, shallow, and downright immature person and changes the plot randomly if it is not to his liking EVEN WHEN EVERYONE LOVED IT. What he did to Chloe's character was way worse than what Viv did to Stella and a large majority in the Fandom were upset with his treatment of the characters ALL BECAUSE he didn't like how people were starting to like a character who is based off his bully as a child....so he regressed her into a worse character, gave her a sister that was NEVER EVER BROUGHT UP before hand, and had HER replace Chloe. Btw her sisters name is "Zoe"....and she has NO interesting traits other than to be a nicer version of Chloe. Chloe also came from a very neglectful and dysfunctional family that was only starting to get better so that just added more pain to it all. Chloe gets shafted for being bad while living a rather dysfunctional life, while Marinette who had a rather stable and structured life gets away with being obsessive, neglectful, and ignorant because "She does no wrong". Marinette is the best example for Creators pet.

One last entry for the creator's pet pile, because we do love to see a long list of receipts.

Also, what an unprofessional prick. I can see why you guys are always comparing this dude to Vivzie.

BTW I’m betting $1 million dollars that syd and carmy are not getting together next season . I don’t watch the bear for them specifically or for any of the romantic relationships that are being set up, but I think it’s obvious the writers are going to eventually introduce syd and carmy as a legitimate pairing buttt imo season 3 will be syd and Marcus figuring out where they stand and probs eventually coming to a realization that they’re better as friends and Marcus deserves more/better than syd is ready to give him, carmy is going to be confused as to why this upsets him while simultaneously finding closure with Claire, but all of this will be the background of some bigger story of them opening the restaurant up to the public . I genuinely do not think we will get real syd/carmy until like season 4 at the very earliest, and even then I think it’ll be the writers making it blatant that syd and carmy have feelings for each other which they won’t act on until season 5 .

Also the syd carmy shippers make this relationship out to be the most prominent thing in the show when it really is just an interesting minor subplot in a show about a thousand different and more interesting things . Like why is the bear tag full of syd x carmy ooc fanfiction and not grief and child abuse recovery and found family . And Richie of course

[rtc-confessions]

I'm gonna be so fr like

Being upset over the askblog stuff is very much valid; yet, they're not using the tags incorrectly? I get that it's annoying to stumble across them, but yk. It's hard to gain traction and stuff without said tags— ESPECIALLY if you're a small blog. I've been saying this for a while now, and nobody's really listening,,

There's unfortunately no like- "win win" here. It's not incorrect use of the tags(even with how annoying it may be), and there's also like. Search filters. Want to see fanart specifically? Turn the search filters on to "Photo." Yes, you're still gonna see askblogs using images; but you get some cool art or somethin' out of it at least! Looking for videos? Set the search to the "Video" filter. Can't say the same for the other things, but still.

Tumblr is legitimately known for askblogs and such, so stumbling across them is inevitable. Not everyone's gonna suddenly change their tags just to suit your needs. This goes for EVERY fandom that has a side on tumblr to it.

It kinda feels odd to me on how everyone's so upset about it. Like— as previously stated, it is CORRECT use of the tags, and they're doing so to gain traction. Since it's tumblr, and most of these askblogs are kinda small— that's the ONLY way they ever gain traction, unfortunately. Sucks the fun out of everything, yk?

Even with my rather long confession message(apologies for that btw/gen), it's not THAT big of an issue as people are making it out to be. Was just trying to explain WHY the tags get clogged up. Hopefully I don't sound rude or anything, but. Nobody was ever considering that side of things, and it admittedly annoyed me a bit since it isn't like- breaking any rules or hurting anyone.

(Whole message is /lh /nbr)

www.tumblr.com/altersexonlyclub/754119785528410112/for-when-someone-accuses-you-of-fetishizing?source=share

Hey, I am an intersex person. We don't think atypical dysphoria is a fetish, most of the posts you see associating salmacian/altersex etc label spaces with fetishization of intersex people is due to just that, the spaces around these identities being full of people who are uneducated on intersex people and say very fetishistic things about us. It's very disingenuous to say we are accusing you of having a fetish for your transition, we are not doing that. There is rampant intersexism and intersex fetishization in forums, servers, subreddits, tags, etc for these identities, that is a problem! From my point of view, this post paints us as transphobic/bigoted for the act of being frustrated with fetishization and intersexism online, and saying something about it. I am aldernic/varioformic/etc I am ALSO intersex. I am an intersex person who frequents spaces for these labels, and I can see clear as day there is a lot of unchecked fetishization, not just in the sexual sense, but in the sense of obsessive idolization and objectification as well. The same way The American Dream is fetishized vs the way.. feet are fetishized. (nothing against foot fetishes btw!). I understand you feel attacked when your community is criticized, but I feel hurt and violated when people from your community say they want to "become hermaphrodites" or that they "want an intersex body", you can transition how you want, in fact I encourage being subversive to the sex binary, but please, please don't dismiss legitimate criticism of intersexism as bigotry against you.

Those images were in direct to response to the many people I've seen who immediately go "that's just fetishizing intersex people" as soon as they learn what altersex is, knowing nothing about the spaces around the term. I understand being upset at people fetishizing intersex people but when I've had many people accuse me personally of fetishizing intersex people as soon as I say I'm altersex, and based solely on me saying I'm altersex, then yes that is bigotry.

If I say "I want both a penis and a vagina" and someone accuses me of fetishizing intersex people based on just those 8 words, it is justifiable for me to be angry and want to tell them my dysphoria is not a fetish.

It feels similiar to going up to a random transfem you don't know and accusing them of fetishizing people who are AFAB for wanting a vagina.

It's valid for you to feel frustrated at people for being intersexist, I get it, but be mad at the people being intersexist, not the altersex people who have to deal with people calling their dysphoria a fetish based solely on their identity and not their actions.

Also for what it's worth, in all my years spent in altersex and salmacian spaces, everyone who said they "want to transition to intersex" has been swiftly corrected and informed that that's not possible and is hurtful to intersex people. If you've had a different experience, I'm sorry, but you can't just say altersex people as a whole are fetishizing intersex people based on the fact that they're altersex, that is, in fact, bigotry.

On your post about Ranboo. I think their absolute nothing burger of an apology for the mlp post after like five people got upset kinda solidified that they only did that because of they're total lack of spine

I don't know much about the post since I've kinda stopped watching stream vods like I used to, all I know is that apparently they made a joke about kicking pregnant women or something with a mlp Sona or something with Charlie and people got mad at it.

Maybe Ranboo did maybe Ranboo didn't, I'm not gonna investigate and unpick everything he does. All I know for sure was that he switched from what I thought was a good, legitimate friendship where two people shared several common interests (I think I remember them talking about analogue horror and Wilbur was giving tips/ideas to Ranboo when Genloss was being developed but don't quote me on that-) and not only working together in the Dsmp but Origins and Sorry Boys together as well, only for the allegations to come out and Wilbur say a *STATEMENT* and Ranboo immediately comes out saying horrible stuff at the same time as Aimsey and Billzo.

Btw those two should not have added their fucking thoughts to this in my opinion, I literally remember when Billzo literally HANDCUFFED WILBUR TO A RAILING AND TIGHTENED THE CUFFS TO THE POINT WHERE IT HURT WILBUR CAUSING HIM TO GET ANGRY AND STRESSED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT, AND HE SAID HE DID IT BECAUSE 'THAT'S JUST THE BILLZO MINDSET' OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT-

Sorry sorry tangent happening, I watched recently the videos of Wilbur and Billzo talking about that incident separately and billzo's apology was lackluster and half-assed after that incident..."it wasn't very poggers of me-" fuck off with that-

To get back on track, what Ranboo did with that MLP thing might be an example, it might not. I can't say for sure, but then again it's not like we can analyse everything they've done and come to the conclusion they're spineless or just following the crowd.

(Ooc) btw S. V. Left a long message for Terra.

Ooc because this is actually serious stuff to talk about:

Pride wasn't the only thing involved in those situations. It was the will of the individual to act. It cannot all be attributed to something as simple as pride. I didn't even take the comment of being called gay as an insult I was simply explaining that it isn't quite a compliment either. Especially how it's typically used in a derogatory way most times. (It obviously wasn't in your situation but the ask I was given sorta made it out that I had taken it as insult. I did not, Terra was upset that she was told her plans all fail not that she was called gay. I thought it was a point that should be mentioned anyways.)

Being queer is tough, it's full of challenges. It's the power of the individual to realize "Hey, I am actually your equal and your not gonna treat me like crap." That's what gets things done, it's more spite and will then actual pride. That's my point.

Being queer is being beaten down and holding onto the most simple things because we are powerful and spiteful and alive, not prideful. We group around each other, spit on our wounds and stand up even though we're outnumbered, because we know that we don't deserve to be treated as lesser. Pride suggests that we deserve to be put onto a pedestal which isn't at all the case.

Everything we've accomplished is queer spite, queer sweat, queer tears, queer blood, queer love, queer community. We aren't prideful gods above all creation we are simple human beings raising banners with our blood for the sake of life. We are survivors of our every day existence. It is a constant battle and yet recently we have been deceived by our foes and told that the war is over.

It is not over. It has simply just begun.

We still continue to lose our rights because they aren't protected by our government. And we don't fight back! Why? Because "you already have pride month" or "it was worse back in my day." We are actively being gaslit! We hardly have any control over our lives and we're being told "grow up you liberal snowflake."

You can be proud of who you are and not change a damn thing about the world around you. However if you love who you and your community are, you will likely feel spiteful towards those who threaten you. Love is more powerful than pride.

If you love your people you're going to help them. That's where everything comes from. It comes from love and spite. "I hate that you hurt the thing I love so I'll take care of it and show it off!" That's us. It's all about the kindness in our hearts and the motivation for change. Love and Spite. In other words, passion.

Queer Passion > Gay Pride

Pride can only get you so far but with passion, you move forwards no matter what. Because you want that change. You need that change. This whole damn world needs to change.

Oppression is prideful. They view themselves as above others for the reasons they find in a delusional man's novel. They view themselves as above others as a desperate cling to power. They are prideful, selfish, idiotic, and greedy.

That's why I believe in passion over pride.

Though Pride month does sound a bit better than Passion month I must admit.

I'm saying this as queer person who struggles with their gender identity and sexuality. I've been called slurs and misgendered and deadnamed. When it comes to myself I get the adrenaline rush and I drop it. However if I hear it about my brother or one of my friends I'm legit ready to lay someone out.

I have legitimately almost fought someone for calling my brother a slur. That isn't pride! That's love for my family and friends and my community! That's spite and rage towards my oppressors! Me shouting as I'm shaking in anger and fear isn't my pride, it is my individual passion to help those I care about!

We are brave passionate individuals and we need to step up and do something about the way our world is. Boycott products run by homophobic people, spread awareness posts, start protests in the streets, give speeches, run for office, ANYTHING OTHER THAN SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING!!!

Sorry for the very long rant though I'm just very passionate about this kind of topic.
