I really don't know how to explain to people that supporting gender liberation (liberation for trans people, liberation for gnc people, liberation from all oppressive gender roles) means you have to be able to see someone you think is cis "crossdressing" and be cool about it. You have to be able to see someone presenting in a way that doesn't make sense to you and not interrogate them about their identity. You have to be able to hear someone express a gender identity you don't understand and go "Huh! Neat," and go about your business. If you truly want gender liberation for all then you have to stop trying to exert control over other people's genders, period.

I get questions about Machete's ear situation quite often so I whipped up a quick age chart.

vexillology

[ID: Three panel "Pills that make you green" comic.

Panel 1: An ochre person with a triangle-shaped body is standing on a stage in front of a curtain.

Ochre: Hey everyone and thanks for showing up today. As you're all probably familiar there's been a lot of discussion about the green pride flag, and how lots of people in the community aren't really represented by it. And while there are a lot of flags for subcommunities we're really missing a unifying one

Panel 2: Ochre person pulls away the curtain, revealing literally just the regular real life Pride flag to the crowd of a variety of people with a skew towards a greenish majority

Ochre: So I'm going to suggest we use this rainbow flag, as a symbolic representation of the full color spectrum

Panel 3: Zoom in on the ochre person looking vaguely dejected, saying "oh..." as criticisms come in from the crowd:

"I feel that this does a poor job representing mauve people"

"Get better at vexilology" [sic]

"That looks so weird"

"There's barely even any of the original green flag left!"

"Way too complicated"

"Orange people don't even have anything to do with green rights"

"What's next, charred brown with lava cracks in it for refugees from Former Italy?"

WIP time! (it's deffo zukka now ♥ not just in my head) but hey I actually continued the piece from yesterday, I never do that!

I got this thing where I say "I'm gonna give them a simple fun background" and then I somehow end up drawing a forest and where did the simple go.

then I thought Imma lightly test colors and somehow ended up with this madness >

I kinda like it, I might actually finish it

I just saw this video talking about actresses who've had to wear sexualized outfits on film that made them uncomfortable (think Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad) and it brought up an ongoing concern of mine about how films and tv shows are way more explicit now than they've been before. Thinking about how many actresses have been topless or nude on camera when it's totally unnecessary) Like I know Hollywood is experimental and would show sex and nudity in their films, I don't have a problem with that it's just how disproportionate the amount of women vs men who have to be naked and sexualized in film is. It's misogyny, pure and simple. Forcing actresses to put their bodies and sexuality on display for the pleasure of male directors and a male audience. And I hate that you can never point out how many actresses have come out and said that no, they didn't like wearing sexualized outfits on screen, they didn't like going nude/being pressured to go nude, they don't like sex scenes or explicit rape scenes but still anytime anyone mentions this you have to fight puritan allegations because god forbid you question how a notoriously sexualized and objectified marginalized community seems to always be sexualized and objectified in media.

#960.5 - Wiglett are eel-like Pokémon that live in beaches and seas, where they remain perpetually buried within the earth, leaving only their head and part of their body exposed. Though they greatly resemble Diglett and were at one point believed to be the Paldean form of Diglett, Wiglett are classified as a separate species and differ in habitat and diet. These Pokémon boast an exceptional sense of smell and can pick up scents from over 60 feet away. When they are young, they will use this powerful sense to hide from incoming foes; as they age into Wugtrio, they will use it to seek out prey that they can attack and drag into their den. Maturing Wiglett will begin to darken in color, prompting them to seek out others to live with as one. Though fully evolved Wugtrio have deceptively vicious temperaments, the three individuals get along well and work together as a team.

Named: Wiglett - ?- Wugtrio

so much of the ~discourse~ around generative ai vis a vis writing emails (predictive text has existed in gmail and other programs for years) or cover letters (there are ten billion fillable cover letter templates online) or highschool essays (students have been getting other people to write essays for them since the dawn of time) does just boil down to the same trite "you cannot take the easy way out because if you've done that and succeeded, that might mean all the tedious, annoying shit I've hated doing was actually just a waste of time instead of divine challenges to prove I'm worthy of (job, higher education, piece of paper saying you did good in school, ect)."

YAYY IT'S OFFICIALLY 2024!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope everyone's year will be filled with joy and good things!

I'm bringing back my tradition of drawing a New Year's drawing with the Dreemurr kids (almost) every year. I'm not super proud of the drawings from previous years, but I wanted to add them in under the Read More anyway.

(Bottom two are from 2022 and 2023.)

[peace-hunter]

tfone au where OP is created as the last of the primes but way after them, a sparkling born at what were thought to be the last days of the war against the quintessons, the beginning of a new generation of peace after eons of war. a child meant to be loved and raised knowing nothing of war nor sacrifice.

he's kept mostly out of the spotlight by his siblings, who don't wish to expose him to everyone's optics so young, and want to wait until the war is done and over to properly introduce him to their people.

except of course the primes are betrayed and murdered by sentinel, the war is lost and everyone who knows and cared for the truth is either banished or outright killed in order to suppress it.

and the high guard, the ones the primes trusted the most, the ones that were supposed to protect them, the ones who failed in their most important duty, have to make a choice. to take the last prime, their last hope, with them to the surface, a hostile environment where there's little to no supplies and where they'll be hunted down by both sentinel and the quintessons as the biggest threat to their regimen.

or hide him in plain sight. place him where sentinel won't think to look for him. one more sparkling among many. and hope it will be enough to keep him alive. pray to primus that he'll protect his last child long enough for them to come back for him when it's safer (even if most of them have already lost their faith on him when he allowed the rest of his children to be massacred like that)

they almost lose their resolve when they realize they will have to take the little one's cog away in order to make him blend in with the rest of the newborns (and oh do they burn with murderous intent when they see what sentinel has done to their people but it's not the time yet-) but in the end they decide an impaired little prime is better than a dead one.

and so in the chaos of thirteen dead primes and a sudden energon crisis, a little sparkling who very few mechs really knew about and even fewer had seen completely vanishes. and in the depths of iacon a mech in charge of a new batch of newborns scratches their helm in confusion as they realize they must have miscounted the first time.

optimus prime is quietly erased from any official records by sentinel, written off as dead when they find a sparkling's frame mangled beyond recognition after an attack on the base of those rebels that insist on being a thorn on his side. killing the sparkling hadn't been precisely in his plans, he probably could've found some use for it after all, but he's not particularly upset about it either.

and orion pax grows up with an ache on his spark that tells him he's missing something far more important than a t-cog and dreams of gentle and loving hands, cradling him against the frames of mechs he cannot recall the faces of.
