ANOTHER REDRAW OF AN OLD HOMESTUCK FANART 

oh my god the original version of this is the only one of my fanarts I see get passed around ever??? It is SO UGLY I can’t even look at her face without DYING BECAUSE SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS DOWNS I CAN’T HANDLE IT SERIOUSLY. 

I am just going to redraw all of my homestuck fanarts that seems like a good project to keep me entertained 

(I’m pretty sure I only did like two midnightcrewtrolls before I got bored and moved on to other things but they were based off all of those hilarious Daddy Droog things that ari did)

my coworker is looking at reddit and I’m saying “cool meme” to every pic he’s opening regardless of what it is and he’s getting progressively more and more frustrated and yelling “IT’S NOT A MEME”

Here’s your mid-week reminder to forgive yourself if you’ve had a crappy/tired/unproductive day/week/month/year. You are doing the best you can. Look after yourself, do what you need to do. And it doesn’t matter what time of day/week/month/year it is, it’s never too late to make a fresh start.

I’m not asexual/aromantic so I don’t have a direct dog in this fight, but I am a slight bit confused on the technicality of things, and, also, why this is an argument at all.

> How does the argument that “asexuals can be called queer because they have indeed had that hurled at them as a slur” suddenly become invalid by heterosexuals having the same experience? I mean I see how that could kind of complicate things--because by that definition heterosexuals could call themselves queer--but that’s no reason to snatch it away from the ace community. It’s doubtful any heterosexual will want to call themselves queer and if they do it would likely be out of spite to the actual queer community and not out of any genuine sense of otherness.

> The woman cited being a TERF has no bearing on this exact argument. I hate TERFs as much as the next person but just because Harry Harlow’s experiments were super unethical by today’s standards doesn’t mean his findings aren’t any less valuable, and the same applies here. This was an argumentum ad hominem and can backfire spectacularly if you are not careful.

> A documented court case was brought up to support an argument, and I am going to dissect it. Azmi Jubran was never identified as heterosexual in the court cases. The closest any document comes to saying that he was “straight” was “Azmi does not identify as homosexual.” He could have been bi, pan, poly, or, indeed, ace. News articles have assumed this means he identifies as straight but I have done a lot of digging and have found no concrete evidence of this--and if it is thought that my research is irrelevant, please remember that there are so many examples of people not realizing their identities until after high school, or hiding their identities so as not to incur more bullying. In this podcast interview with Jubran (mp3), the most he says of the matter is “I told them I was not gay.” Of course if I am totally wrong this paragraph does become irrelevant (and, ultimately, wrong), so take this with a grain of salt. This might be the longest paragraph but it is my weakest point, and that I gladly concede.

> Related to above, regardless of his orientation, Azmi Jubran’s bullies (and I quote directly from the court documents, source in the previous paragraph) "did not believe he was homosexual.”  So in this way “queer” (and f*g, and etc) was used as a way to bully purely, and was not a form of orientation-based oppression.

> Asexual =/= heteromantic. Aromantic =/= heterosexual.

Regardless of literally every point I am bringing up, if the ace community/ace individuals want to identify as queer, why is that a problem? The ace community completely faces the same type of oppression that gay and lesbians--and bi and pan and poly--do, even if it’s not on the exact same scale of violence or systemicism. They get told quite seriously they are “unnatural.” They get told (by individuals, by organizations, by special interests groups, by companies) that they are “broken.” They are often characterized as depressed and/or repressed in their portrayals in media/entertainment, when they are portrayed at all. Corrective rape is an unfortunate repeated part of asexuals’ stories. If that’s what you need to accept that heterosexual heteromantic ace people should be allowed to label themselves “queer,” then I think the ace community fits in just fine.

(And ace people who don’t want to use the term ‘queer’? Also fine! Use whatever labels or not that you want, I’m not trying to say that all ace are automatically ‘queer’ now. Quite the opposite--I am trying to argue for label fluidity.)

Good lord I’m not saying “you personally have to be violently harmed by cishets to be queer” I’m saying that the term is exclusively reserved for the communities who’ve historically experienced oppression centered around that slur and experienced the violence that it embodies (ie LGBT people)

You’re spouting some nonsense interpretation where you could say “some lesbians are queer but not all” when what I’m literally saying is “lesbians can call themselves queer because the lesbian community has been a target of this slur and experienced horrific violence as part of it”. Ace/aro people who lack same-gender attraction have no place trying to reclaim it because it was never aimed at their community.
