terfs: How dare you use those extremely-rare barely even existent pathetic little disordered freaks as a cudgel for your idealogy!!!
tme/tma binarists: How dare you use those extremely-rare barely even existent intersex people as a cudgel for you ideology!!! (see, I'm not interphobic, i didn't call them disordered!!)
Me (an intersex person): So, hi, I don't actually view myself as cudge-
Both: SHUT UP AND STOP SELF-TOKENISING YOURSELF. I BET YOU'RE NOT EVEN INTERSEX!
Me: ...
#intersex#actually intersex#transandrophobia#transphobia#tme/tma#we can speak for ourselves thanks#we're NOT wholly invisible#yes#some people DO tokenise us.#but its usually kind of suspicious#when perisex people#accuse people advocating for us#as 'using us as a cudgel'#its almost like...#you don't really care about us#you just want to ignore our existence#guilt free#and make the people calling you out for that#the bad guys.

Re-reading jttw after so many years is wild because my reading comprehension has improved so much. I didn't realize how many gods just straight up lied to the jade emperor and others about swk like bro those peach maiden gals fr said he beat the crap outta them when the mans never laid a hand on them-
#knox rambles#ITS SO WILD#reading at a snails pace cause im reading it out loud to my brothers and finding a time where we're all free to do that is a challange#journey to the west#these gals and the dragon kings and lots of people who have fought him just demonize the crap outta this dude its WILD#unless ofc he did beat the crap outta them and its just not mentioned at all there#lemme know if im out to lunch on this#its so funny too cause they dont need to exaggerate for him to get into trouble but they do anyways#almost like they dont want anyone knowing they caved right away when the monkey just brandished his cudgal as a threat#instead of staying proud and tall and all immortal#it might just be the storytelling and im misunderstanding something#its interesting how these celestial heavenly immortal beings are written to straight up lie through their teeth to jade empoerer#man i love.this book

another thing i've been trying to do recently is read more self-published stuff. "but fell," you say, "you're a self-published author. surely you've been reading self-published stuff all along" and then i laugh for so long in response we both become uncomfortable.
see, the fear (which has for a long time been killing my mind) that i'll read other self-published stuff and find out that it's so much better than mine that i might as well stop writing forever kept me from doing that basically ever. i have a hard time not unfavorably comparing my work to others and had convinced myself i was being smart by withholding an avenue of de-motivation (reader: i was not being smart). it also doesn't help that i'm pretty low income and have a hard time spending money on books i haven't already read, and that self-published stuff isn't always available at the library---but really a lot of it was just me being a coward. which i'm working on. i could talk about how this particular cowardice is Very Silly, but i think enough has been said about it on writeblr and in the Writing Space in general that i don't feel the need to (though i will if anyone wants me to).
instead, i wanna talk about the self-published things i have read in the past few months and ask about the self-published things you love!
so: what happened was i got real sick, and while i was real sick i (naturally) read over 200,000 words of ace attorney fan fiction in the span of a few days. eventually i got bored of it (and also maybe annoyed at how people were characterizing some of my guys), but i still wanted to read something gay and romantic and nice, something i knew was gonna end happily, which isn't my typical fare.
now you may be saying (having gotten over all the uncomfortable laughter from earlier) "fell, you write gay romance. what do you mean that's not your typical fare?" listen. until a couple months ago i hadn't read a cut and dry romance novel since before i finished college. for context: i graduated in 2015. i know it doesn't make sense. i'm a guy who doesn't make sense.
but in this case it worked to my advantage. not the not making sense thing, but the not having read Published Romance in 1000 years thing. I didn't know where to start. I was very skeptical of everything the library had Available Now in the Gay Fantasy Romance category. what if it was all bad and also not good?
and then i scrolled past the familiar cover of our very own @ashen-crest's A Rival Most Vial.
now this was comfortable territory! this was a novel by a very nice writeblr person whose posts i enjoy! i already loosely knew the plot, i was familiar with the characters, i knew the names of things like rosemond street and the griffin's claw and that ambrose had blue hair and that at the end of it all there would definitely be Boyfriends. i didn't have to worry that this would be bad! i only had to worry that it would be really good!
but i wasn't worried about that, because i was officially Not Writing at the time, and because why the hell hadn't i read this book yet Ash literally emailed me some very kind words last year when my cat died??
Y'all, I devoured ARMV. If you haven't read it yet---especially if cozy fantasy is more your thing than it is mine---you should check it out Immediately. It was fun! It was heartwarming! It was sweet and earnest and confident! I was delighted to find it was occasionally hot! Ambrose and Eli snuggled up into my sick exhausted heart and found a permanent little place there. (Especially Ambrose. I have such a thing for Stiff Guys who Kind of Suck for Tragic Backstory Reasons and are So So Lonely They Don't Even Realize It. gawd)
(And a very small part of my brain spent the whole time wondering why I had been so afraid to really engage with the work my community is doing. The community that I'm in. The one I'm a part of. Why?! Maybe more on that later.)
But from there the curse was broken! I immediately devoured @stjohnstarling's What Manner of Man in a similar sort of frenzy (and hooooly shit guys am I excited for the expanded, finalized version to come out at the end of next month!) and started digging into @lurinatftbn's The Flower that Bloomed Nowhere (which I can already tell is going to be an All Time Favorite).
And now I want to ask you what your favorite self-published books are so that I can read them, too, but I think I will in another post that doesn't dedicate so much space to talking about my various and sundry Issues and isn't Terminally Long
#my god the library. darling. beloved. breath of my life and heart of my soul.#i should make a post about her#also. and maybe i'll make a separate post about this at some point too#but i truly think the free serialized webnovel rough draft ala What Manner of Man is The Future#i should probably make a whole separate post about all these novels too tbh.#boutta become Posting Guy. The Guy Who Posts#and writes novels in the tags. but i've always been like that#i never talked about the dream i had where i was emry karic from the lutesong series did i? i totally meant to. fucked up!#so i had a dream where i was emry karic.#I (emry karic) was fleeing a bunch of elves in a forest with my mom and sister (who were fully my irl mom and sister)#they thought i had done a murder and were chasing me (emry karic) with spears and stuff. they almost caught me#but i managed to escape. later i came upon a weird old-timey fantasy carnival.#and for some reason one of the fun attractions at this carnival was A Day in Court#where you watch someone defend themselves in court.#you'll never guess who had to defend himself in court and what the charges were!#notably there were no other characters from the lutesong series involved.#and i also have yet to read any of the books in the lutesong series. emry and his flower crown simply invaded my brain out of nowhere#i thought about turning this post into separate posts or rewriting it or smthn because it's so long and all over the place but#that sort of defeats the whole trying to just post and not be so up my own ass about it that i never actually post thing#so here you go#if you are also someone who struggles or once struggled with reading other people's stuff because of self esteem issues. hi!#we're now spidermen pointing at each other

does anybody else ever think about how moc weepe sold saskia out by name and with a completely casual tone but also screamed her name for no apparent reason while he was being functionally tortured. anyone else just sort of rotating that around in their mind.
#midst#midst podcast#midst spoilers#midst podcast spoilers#WHAT IS THE DEALLLLLL!!!!!#does he CARE about her at ALL.....#why did he SAY her NAME!!!!!!!!!#the way he says it it almost sounds like he's delirious enough that he thinks imelda IS saskia. which is a nuts possibility.#really crazy implications from that one.#it also sort of sounds like it's 'saskia we're all going to die' almost like he's finally REALIZING that even tho he#sold her out and escaped scot-free himself he HASN'T actually escaped because 'we're all going to die'#THAT possibility is kind of sexy actually. moc weepe i'm begging you to burn it all down......

I am OBSSESSED with GIRL MATH
I just realized this is what me and my friends have been doing when we need help making a purchase that we deserve but have too much of a money lizard to do. I love that we can chant GIRL MATH GIRL MATH GIRL MATH before doing it now. (it's basically FREE!)
Sources: x x x
#GIRL MATH#girlmath#it's basically free!#you're practically being PAID to buy it really#tiktok#almost all of us has poverty trauma in some form#in varying levels of severity#video#shit post#not art#sometimes we need to be reminded it's okay to buy nice things#we're adults now we have money#we deserve a treat#or we deserve not to suffer every day

Telling content creators it's wrong to explore artistic freedom and be independently funded by fans, and they should instead continue taking advertisement revenue from google* is
NOT
the anti-capitalism stance actually.
*(Yes, google owns youtube.)
#Watcher#This post is specifically and exclusively about the people who seem to have the capitalism bit wrong#It's almost fascinating how no one is hearing themselves speak#I feel like some of you don't understand WHY we support small businesses and are anti-monopoly#I've seen multiple posts saying “Shane is so anti-capitalism there's no way this was his idea.”#So... you think it's pro-capitalism to start your own business instead of relying on pennies from the exploitative mega-corporation?#Guys... we support small businesses KNOWING it will cost the consumer more#Stop thinking you're entitled to someone's product#That's what got us in this mess#I understand $6 is a lot for many many people but that is what makes certain things a luxury#Nothing used to be this way#Nothing used to be “free” so you can be monitored for your viewing habits and sold to advertisers#If you see a little guy trying to leave youtube/google and you paint them as the capitalist??? You. have. taken. a. wrong. turn.#I don't know how many more ways I can say it#It is better to support someone (if you can) than to pressure them into taking money from the trillion-dollar corporation#so that you can have what they put all their blood/sweat/tears into for free#If you want something badly enough you're going to have to pay for it#Them's the breaks#If you don't want it that badly then maybe it didn't mean enough to you personally#Thinking otherwise is how corporations like youtube take over and squeeze out small competitors#btw on monopolies: having almost every single video content creator (outside of tiktoks and video game streams) on youtube is BAD#You understand that's bad yes?#How tf are we going to diversify unless SOME CREATORS leave youtube???#It's almost the responsibility of larger creators to do so#Ironically what I said is backwards#In its ideal state‚ capitalism is supposed to inspire innovation and new business‚ giving every person a chance to succeed#But I think we all know that's not the reality we're experiencing#I just went with what everyone means when they say it

HELLHOUND FINISHED!
Baby boy is done!! Hope I did it justice!
This was a super fun project, so much so I'll be working on the axe next at some point! (Dual wielding Michelle????)
Game: Sorry We're Closed by @cbedfordart (sorry for the @)
Read more for silly additional info!
Materials: - Neon Guache paint - Matte Guache and Fabric paint - Clear Varnish - White spray paint and wood glue as primer
Time Spent: About 4-5 hours, including drying times
This was somewhat challenging, as I honestly am not a fancy cosplayer and just use whatever is available to me, so i didn't have many good brushes for this. So at some point i might redo the small details... but i like it!
Also hey small spoiler for the pink coat hah-
#sorry we're closed#sorry we're closed game#decayeria cosplays#hellhound#(so sorry for @ing you so much!!!)#(if it's a problem feel free to tell me!)#(also this was a hell of a ride)#(pun intended)#(soon i shall post about the clothes... they're almost done!)#(only the skirt left and i'm so... close...)

I am not caught up on Nightwing enough to have context for the 116 panels and they are still panels out of context but god I miss when there were non hero characters in Blüdhaven. bc I think there's a very easy story to tell that fits in with Tom Taylor's ostensible narrative, where the citizens of Blüdhaven that Dick has formed friendships with band together to watch out for each other while he's injured. it's a little corny but I think you could do a lot with community care! but unlike in the first Nightwing run we don't actually HAVE any of those recurring characters to make a meaningful story with. and also despite taylors ostensible restorative justice beliefs this is still a story about superheroes saving everyone from themselves. so instead we get Bruce putting on the costume his son first made for himself in order to get away from Bruce. (I know that isn't what it means now! but that was DICK'S hard-fought independence and identity. dick came back, but Nightwing was him striking out on his own! and instead of him passing it on to Tim or Cass it's Bruce???) god I'm sorry. Not For Me! Not For Me!
#i dont know how to tag this lmao.#dc comics#nightwing critical#i guess???#comics not even once#it's fine. we're almost free.

what's up with the first post on the taylor tag being a hate post lol
#maybe it's because I'm an adult now and I have a real job#but I'll never understand how people waste their time like that being a hater#there isn't enough free time outside work to be writing a long ass paragraph like that hating on someone#???#anyway there are veryyyy valid reasons to criticize taylor for sure#sadly almost none of them were mentioned in that post#...#and that's too bad#instead of mentioning her silence on important world topics or her carbon emissions we're again talking about the charts.........

Huh. If my life was a quote, it'd be "one of those sad ones with a deceptively happy tune"
#quote from MLP:FIW#sorryyyy been kinda angry about my step family all day#sorry but im so tired of my Stepmom acting like she raised decent kids#my step brother is like 25 and living in my dads home. hes unironically an andrew tate fan and treats his very disabled girlfriend like shit#step sister always got compred to my sister who's the same age and put step sis in the light every time EVEN THO MY SIS WAS LITERALLY BETTER#<- like grades n shit#also both step sibs are gross. never cleans up ever. step brother and his gf are banned from the basement#step bro went to juvy when he was 16 and step sis had a trial last year and almost went to jail#also step sis has mono and would rather die than cover her mouth#i feel bad for SB's girlfriend because she has no other support system and sometimes it feels like SB or SS is trying to kill her?????#my dad threatened to kick out the adults if the house is dirty (adults being SB. SBG. SS. My sister. Aunt.)#My sister does SO MUCH HOUSEWORK and nobody cares and im mad#also bullshit rules recently have made my potential eating disorder worse#i don't think its healthy to rather starve than wash a dish but i actually have cried several times over this#not to mention how much i accidentally starve myself#also our food has been less and less because I don't know what I'm allowed to eat anymore because of my step family#also i have to share the smallest room with my sister. its okay tho ilh and i wouldn't want to get rid of her#sometimes it feels like my stepmom doesn't like me or my sisters because we're “weird”. childish interests and artistic#she lectured me about having missing assignments and I started crying#i said i just forgot to turn in some before the deadline and she called me lazy#<- Oops! so close. its actually THE MENTAL ILLNESS#my sisters and i feel like shit#i feel like my safe space is with my oldest sister.#and you all too! i love you guys#i just feel trapped. trapped by my step family. trapped by my own mind.#i was just starting to feel free from the burden of school and she just made me feel more stressed.#i didn't want to study because she killed the little motivation I had#Spanish exam is now “Fuck it we ball”#sorry for the personal post
