Women have every right to label this a misogyny issue without having to put several asterisks on it
#this is both about the election and abortion#inb4 anyone comes at me: i’m not saying that it’s ONLY a misogyny issue#i’m not saying that people who aren’t women shouldn’t say that this is an issue that affects them in the variety of ways it does#i’m not saying that we should never talk about how it affects people in other ways#no—i believe all of that should happen as well as women should be able to clearly identify this as misogyny#i’m saying that this is a very deeply misogynistic issue and we need to be able to express that in clear terms#misogyny#election 2024#abortion#100plustxt#500plustxt#1kplustxt

Could you tell more about your face blindness, if you're ok with it? It's a kind of surprise to me that you have difficulty of recognizing people's faces because you are one of the artists who draw characters' expressions so intricate and eloquent, like a mirror towards their mental states. Do you think it has any impact on your art/art style?
First of all, thank you! I love drawing expressive characters ´v`
Sometimes I wonder if the face blindness is part reason why I choose to draw animals/furries/anthros instead of people, but other than that I'm not sure if it has contributed on my style.
#it's most likely an autism thing#I've struggled with identifying people by their faces ever since I can remember#discovering that it's an actual disorder was a massive relief#I had lived my entire life thinking that I was either dumber than everyone else or not trying hard enough#these days if I meet someone new and know for sure that I'll be interacting with them in the future I usually warn them beforehand#that I have this thing and I might not be able to recognize them next time#(or that I might potentially never learn to recognize them reliably)#and in my experience people tend to be pretty understanding#it's embarrassing to have to tell them that but it takes some pressure off#answered#anonymous

When people are like Wei Wuxian was NOT suicidal it’s like. Ok sure. He just believed that his debt to the Jiangs should be paid with everything up to and including his life. And also that the moral and obvious thing to do in any situation is to put himself between anyone and harm's way. This is because he thinks he’s unkillable but he makes himself unkillable for the same reason he’ll die for a good enough reason: because it’s a way to have worth!
And then famously once everything goes to shit he does beg Lan Wangji to let him die as part of the moment where he is either destroyed by his own evil magic or lets his own evil magic tear him apart, a distinction I don't personally think matters very much at that point. Less explicitly textually, his mentally ill ass behavior after he gives up his core says to me that he wishes that he'd died honorably for Jiang Cheng when he had the chance and doesn't know what to do with himself since he hasn't.
Again I’m aware that he’s operating under a pretty specific set of culturally informed norms as a cultivator and member of a sect but like. TO ME. Everything about how Wei Wuxian conducts himself indicates that he has a box in his mind at all times that says 'in case of emergency break glass' and what’s inside the box is his own death. All the sound of mind actions of a man who has a normal and not suicidal relationship to death.
#suicide cw#I know I don’t need to engage with self identified wwx fans#who want him to be a perfect angel who only made good choices for pure reasons#but like#to ME dying for the jiangs is the only thing he might be able to do to please madame yu#and I think they both were very aware of that lol#in many ways Wei Wuxian was very comfortable with the idea that he’d be better use to people dead#this is like the CRUX of suicidality lol#it’s still suicidality even if it doesn’t look like#him being like wow I hate myself I want to die lol#which I do think as much as I don’t agree with giving him self esteem issues uwu style#he definitely gets there after he realizes that he’s ruined his life all to save the wens and it hasn’t saved them#the like who can tell what I should do soliloquy#anyway saw a post and was just thinking about it#also bc I made an offhand comment about him being suicidal#but i actually do genuinely think its an interesting facet of his character#specifically because i think his relationship to his own death is complex is based in his life also being not entirely his own#this is whats so juicy about a lot of the pre timeskip stuff!!!#like arguably this is true of cultivation society bc it’s a martial world#sure!#but imho he’s taking a step further#bc he does have inherent worth issues#namely that he doesn’t think he has inherent worth#which is why everything he does is designed to make up for that

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao
not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad
#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is#i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good#it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive#tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little#irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny#and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately#reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women#who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their#personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny#i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit#among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere#from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy#anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem#but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3#taylor swift

Love how the game is making me feel like I'm cheating on a character with his different incarnations/selves.
#love and deepspace#love and deepspace zayne#is it me or do i see subtle differences in them???#like not just personality wise#istg i am seeing very nuanced physical differences#or like mannerism#like if you strip them down to nothing#i will be able to identify who's who#🫠

the continuous focus on birds and birdsong in monstrous regiment is one of my fave bits just because we know the only reason polly has all that background knowledge is bc of paul. and even when she has that moment of not wanting to admit that she wants to get paul back partially for selfish reasons she was still the person in his life that paid attention enough to remember everything he loved/knew about birds lol. he's not really haunting the narrative he's just kind of chilling back there but ANYWAY lol polly perks could do antigone
#whenever theyre in a new location polly is always letting some bird info into her description of the setting and its just bc of paul#monstrous regiment#like. that's her brother. the birdsong footnote is funny but thats her BROTHER and she cared enough to be able to identify birds from a#great distance that weren't even native to their country so um that's thee manifestation of weird sibling bonds#the line about the colored pencils is soooo crazy. someone got him some colored pencils and she will love them 4ever#discworld#polly perks#gnu terry pratchett#paul perks#im so tired post diwali workday is killing me but im playing the events of mr behind my eyelids during meetings

Is there anything more weak than the attempt to shut down all media analysis and critique by appealing to a "everything is valid and different! Stop making it a pissing match," point of view? Either the stories are "too different" to compare and contrast, or they're "ultimately all fma so why should we fight". Maybe some people can't get it through their heads, but disagreement, venting amongst those who feel similarly, and critique are not inherently a fight.
And I'm sorry, but "breaking the cycle of violence" is a shit trope to tack onto a plot that uses a genocide and ethnic cleansing as its foundation, with heaping layers of "those poor little war criminals, stop being mean to them" to add insult to bad storytelling.
#now that being said when people say some out of pocket shit then they better be able to handle talkback#yes this is a vague post#yes i'm bored to tears seeing endless appeals to ''leave mangahood alone'' from broho people especially#your fave media isn't untouchable and some of us simply won't treat it that way rip#i don't care if someone likes 03 too or is chill with 03 enjoyers because! critique! is! not! an! attack!#mine#wait i'm not done#y'all have a very rosey view of the supposed tranquility of the broader online fandom#because 03 people largely have to stick to discord or other smaller/silo'd avenues to talk about the show#without having unending shit dished at them for simply liking 03 (even if they say nothing about or against mangahood)#and listen: analyze/dislike/critique 03 all you want. that's not the problem#the problem is how a lot of mangahood fans treat anyone who even dares talk about 03 or thinks dislikes their fave show/manga#yes this is all ridiculous but you lot are identifying the wrong things as the problem!#vent

If kinda surprises me how many tumblr artists will reblog their Jason art a few days after original post saying something like “ahhhh! I forgot his white floof!”
Like girl, how the heck do you tell Jason apart from the other robins? The white floof is essential
#kay speaks#jason todd#legit#need the white floof to find Jason sometimes#we got a sea of black haired blue eyed bitches#we need the identifier#I feel like DC#is trying not to colour code them#but I need to be able to tell me apart somehow

People who compare transition to self harm or use real people they know who've self-harmed as a metaphorical comparison to transitioning aren't making the gotcha they think they're making - they're just showing that they don't have the compassion or maturity to engage with either topic at even a conversational level.
And, frankly, it's infuriating as a person who does see those who self-harm as my equal who doesn't need to be used as a cudgel against another group of often vulnerable people.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#self harm tw#self harm mention tw#sh tw#transphobia#transphobia tw#and as someone who has self-harmed AND transitioned it's been inherently different. it's not a comparison#and if you wonder why so many trans people have engaged in self harm: social factors. family. abuse. mistreatment#mine stemmed from unrelated abuse largely and also because i wasn't being treated well#absolutely unresolved dysphoria in trans people can inspire that - i know that already. ask me how (don't)...#...but it also isn't inherent to identifying as trans. dysphoria of any kind can make people desperate for any escape...#...and you help them by allowing them space and giving them tools that empower *them*...#...like for me the second a huge part of my dysphoria resolved through transition i was able to start actually fucking LIVING#because for all my life i'd been only able to operate at 50% at most. and now it's more like 80-90% just after transition

Sorry for being all “grrrr i hate it here!!!” on my first day on therianblr but i promise I have actually good posts in the works. I want to propose a new definition of therianthropy that helps include those outside of the “standard” spiritual/psychological origins that might also dispel some confusion about what it means to identify *as* an animal… I’ve gotta revise it a bit more because I wrote it at 5 am and most of it is ramble but i promise yall it will be peak… Not sure if anyone else has done something like this before but im just a regular guy trying to give my two cents 👍 Im not a physical therian myself but one of my kintypes is an emotional kin which I dont see talked about a lot either!
#therian#therianthropy#alterhuman#nonhuman#marimo yips#basically I think since saying “identify as” is so broad it can be a little disorienting to the new folk#therian or not#Because everyone identifies differently and if a newly awakened therian is comparing themselves to spiritual/psychological therians#then they are only seeing those experiences and might think “well i guess im not one!” even if they are but don’t know how to describe it#so by pushing them in the right direction by specifying what exactly entails in “identifying as”#it will hopefully mean there is less people asking “well HOW can you be a physical therian isn’t that like mental illness 🤔”#because they’ll already have the answer#it’s about your internal and external perception of yourself guys#think about how many experiences that simple description is able to include#like just adding that to the “identify as” part is kinda like. ohhhhhh i get it#does this make sense#sorry tag ramble#i have so much to talk about

I've always had this weird shyness around admitting I'd like to learn to make music. I don't know why. I was raised in a very pro-artist family. I think it's a fear of failure if I'm just not very good at it, which heightens once you're vulnerable about something and now everyone knows you like it and makes it more humiliating. I think it's also because I had a parent that blew money they didn't really have on home studios and instruments and always fancied themselves a bit of a wannabe musician with no actual drive, so I subconsciously internalised the criticism that got.
anyway I'm saying this because fun community events like tmbptmbg, spending a day listening to and discussing the music of artists with such a creative, eclectic output get me inspired and motivated. or hell, just reading about the band's process in general in articles and interviews gets me like this.
#I feel impostor syndrome around having it as a potential interest because I've weirdly suppressed it for so long#this sounds so silly and overdramatic. like. I've never suppressed any other interests so why this#why for so long with no good reason? I dunno. this may be related to the compulsive tendencies I have lol#no I can't do that because... I can't do that.#I did start learning keyboards/piano earlier in the year so !!#I think I just get overwhelmed with the knowledge people seem to have on basic music theory and being able to identify a key#like ohh I'll Never be able to do that#even tho it probably took them years..

I'm Italian and a new follower, ever since I saw the region where Machete is from I can't stop calling him Carmelo in my head since it's a pretty common name there and Vasco speaks with a Tuscan accent in my head now( I love how they pronounce the letter C even if people sometimes makes fun of them for that)
It's always really fun hearing about any Italians that like my work and characters, because you guys obviously have the insider knowledge I (a Finnish person) am not privy to. If you say Machete looks like a Carmelo I have hard time doing anything but nodding and going "ah yes, sounds legit, you probably know your Carmelos better than I do".
#Italian in it's standard form sounds pretty distinct to me it's relatively easy to identify it#but there's no way I'd be able to differentiate between all the regional accents/dialects/languages#answered#anonymous#for comparison I can't tell spoken Swedish Norwegian and Icelandic apart reliably#even though they're our neighbors and I hear them pretty regularly and I'm technically supposed to be able to speak Swedish#on top of that I'm always mixing up Danish and Dutch

strong opinions on takes of the 'could this character defeat kira' variety
#i think there are three relevant categories btw#could intuit the mechanics of the death note / could identify light yagami / could survive#each of those has to be split into further nuanced discussion tho#eg if a character is able to identify light but wouldn't apprehend him then does that count as defeat#choosing to apprehend light will affect the character's odds of survival and that's a character / personality thing#i like the ones who cant intuit the mechanics but would catch light anyway because sometimes it would be for unrelated coincidental reasons#oh and also we'd have to set parameters like which universe is this taking place in. i think death note universe#does the character retain their own powers? what about the powers that their universe grants them#to me it's like a super smash bros situation where if a character is a cartoon then they bring cartoon logic with them#so like for example detective pikachu would survive no matter what because you cant fucking kill pikachu#new ask game send me a character and ill tell you if they could beat light yagami#im kidding but if you do this id probably do it.#can you guys tell im at work. and bored out of my gourd

Unpopular opinion, but you should not have to tell your partner that you are trans if you've fully medically transitioned before you met. Cuz everybody's always saying trans men are man and trans women are women, bc it's true, and if that's the case, and they have fully medically transitioned and have all the parts of the gender they identify with and that their partner sees them as then it should not matter. They have always been the gender that they are now they just had different physical body parts, so it should not matter, because that's in the past now.
#im saying this cuz ive seen a couple of storied where someone doesn't know what to do bc they didnt tell their partner#in the beginning of their relationship and are in a tricky spot and instead of understanding why they didn't#people are just criticizing them and telling them its their fault and they should have told them on the first date#which by the way#could be and is extremely dangerous and could get them killed#i just think that they should be able to live their life as the gender they identify with in every part of thier life#thats all#trans#transgender#trans pride#lgbtqia#lgbtqia+#lgbt#lgbtqia2s+#queer
