[june-again]

throwing up bc the first thing i saw when i woke up is a post from some person REBLOGGING someone else's fic and ranting about how the characterization is terrible. i had a look at the person's blog and they had several posts about other characters, basically just ranting about how people who characterize them certain ways are awful and wrong and should stop posting their content or wtv. and obv the first and last interaction I'm going to have with this person is blocking them, so that they don't have the opportunity to reblog one of MY works and tell me that MY fanfiction is wrong. but how was this supported? how were there people in the notes agreeing with their sentiments?

there's a difference between extremely problematic content that isn't properly tagged, and characterization preferences. it's actually fine to reduce characters down to a few personality traits, it's actually fine to reject source material. please let people write what they want. and don't reblog it with unsolicited criticism 😭 if you prefer something else for a character.... WRITE IT YOURSELF <3

#june shines #it wasn't even for a character i know #i don't personally enjoy most dark content or smut SO I DON'T ENGAGE WITH IT #and obviously there are problematic things happening in some posts and characterizations #but again. i just think spreading hate and shame isn't going to solve any of that #JUST USE THE BLOCK BUTTON!!!!! #feel free to reply to this post if you disagree but don't send hate to ppl #the block button is right there #discourse tw #im so sorry for posting this i never post this kind of thing but. i am at my limit

AITA for not wanting to talk about a fandom with a friend?

We've been friends for 6-7 years, but we're not close. Just your regular internet friendship where we both have close friends and seperate friend groups, but us two were in the same fandom initially and that's how we know each other.

She's in a lot of fandoms casually but her ult fandom is massive, I'm in a smaller but still big fandom. We're both fandom olds, we both know fandom etiquette and behavior, we're both adults with our own lives etc. Please don't assume we're unattended teens in a petty fight.

We have both shown interest in each other's fandoms, we both understand we can't be more involved there than we already are. That's all fine.

I used to talk about my fandom with her initially, about 2 years ago, but I gradually stopped since she's not that interested and I have other friends to talk to who are already into it. Besides I have a short social battery, so I don't *need* to talk to everyone all the time.

The issue is: After not showing that much interest for months and me not talking to her much, she's trying to talk to me about it now. But all she sends me are theories from people I have blocked or people dragging this media and expecting everyone to laugh with them, outlandish mischaracterization, hot takes that are just fans insulting the creator over their own piss poor reading comprehension, memes that have been done to death etc. All in all it's things my fandom friends and I are sick of.

And it's particularly bugging me because my friend here faces and rants about the same shit in *her* fandom! She gets my issues with mischaracterization or creator bashing etc same as I do with her! But it's as if she never paid any attention when I said 'This and This are untrue or hurtful' or 'I hate when This is said' or correct her on anything that from insider pov is borderline offensive. Ofc I wouldn't expect her to know... except I *have* told her many times and I share a lot of posts talking about it so anyone following me would have a general idea even if we never spoke?

This is partly why I stopped talking to her about it because for the last full year and some more, every few weeks she brought up the same bad fanons. And after I debunked them she said 'Oh that's terrible!', then after a couple weeks same old same old. Ofc that's really frustrating.

We stopped talking about it like I said, but she's now back on it and I'm not reciprocating. When she wants me to look at her memes or talk about the ships I make it clear that I don't want to do that. She has other friends from my fandom who are into those tired takes she shares, she's not speaking into a void. I'm free to talk about anything else but her behavior for over a year is pulling me away from her tbqf.

I feel like I'm being a bad friend, it's just fiction. But she takes her own fiction just as seriously and rags on people she disagrees with way more than me. So I don't know, I like my friend but I hate talking to her about anything fandom related. Did I make it bad for myself by sending her things in the beginning when she was probably saying odd things to signal she wasn't interested? I think so.

PS: If any of you think about replying with 'Eh who cares fanon is fun, take a joke' etc, control yourself. Thank you.

What are these acronyms?

i've seen a lot of trans people in the past few years putting tma/tme in their bio and while i think i understand the sentiment (particularly from people marking themselves as tme as an acknowledgement that they are not affected by a particular issue), it feels off to me for a few reasons:

this is just rebranded assigned gender at birth. it's an oversimplification of the actual reality of human bodies (especially for intersex individuals), comes with the implications of what you've experienced in life, and is information you don't really need to be publishing for the world to see

by saying you're transmisogyny affected, you're opening yourself up to more harassment; by saying you're transmisogyny exempt, it feels like you're belittling the things you deal with as a result of your transness because they aren't necessarily transmisogyny or shifting harassment towards others.

you're also creating an unnecessary binary; while it can be extremely useful to examine the differences between transmisogyny and the harassment trans individuals who aren't generally targeted with transmisogyny face, it's not something that seems appropriate to identify yourself publicly as one or the other: first, because it's generally more nuanced than that, and second, because it kind of just sucks to identify yourself by what hate you do and don't experience. you don't need to identify yourself one way or the other unless it's actively relevant to a conversation you're having

you cannot guarantee that you are transmisogyny exempt. transmisogynists will literally attack cisgender women (particularly cisgender women of color) that they think are transgender in transmisogynistic ways. just because someone does not identify as transfeminine or transfemme does not mean they can't experience transmisogyny. even "tme" people can experience transmisogyny

i really don't think people who are putting this stuff in their bios mean harm by it at all, and i am absolutely open to feedback/explanations if you disagree with me! it's just something that's becoming more common and i don't know if it's the healthiest way to define oneself online. please feel free to send me an ask or reply to this post if you want to discuss this

As someone with a pansexual sibling, I'm wondering why you feel the need to be hateful and ignorant towards pansexual people, whose label is different from bisexual people, and why you think excluding an identity you personally don't understand is a good thing for the queer community. I happened to stumble on one of your posts, and it just got me thinking. You don't need to reply, but I felt I had to say something.

Hey! Thank you for the ask.

I disagree that I am being ignorant here: my position is that pansexuality erases a lot of the history of bisexuality, and that it creates a divide among bisexuals that doesn't need to exist. From my point of view, it's people who ID as pansexual who are being ignorant; obviously not a particularly helpful opinion for either side to hold but that's how people think.

The idea that pansexuality encompasses something different to bisexuality is rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of bisexuality and the varied experiences bisexuals have. Additionally, a lot of the definitions that try to create a dichotomy between the two can result in some pretty disrespectful and harmful attitudes towards and implications about what bisexuals are or how they think/act/etc; unfortunately a lot of these are drawn from extremely bigoted assumptions and stereotypes about bisexuals.

I also find that there are some unsavory connections between chasers and *certain* groups of people who ID as pansexual. I refuse to use the label for myself, and I have some initial hesitancy around people who ID as pansexual simply because of the amount of people I've met who use it as a more "P.C" way to fetishize trans people. That's not to say that everyone who says they are pan is a chaser, absolutely not. I know a ton of amazing people who ID as pan, my sibling used to ID as pan. I don't even necessarily have a problem with using the label, because, in the end, I can't bring myself to genuinely care enough about what words people use. I care enough only to cast irritated posts into the Tumblr void.

Hateful may be accurate to some of my posts or reposts. But the Tumblr, to a certain extent, is somewhat of a void to vent into. IRL, I prefer not to start fights over something that, in the grand scheme of things, is pretty inconsequential. But on Tumblr? It's cathartic to have a place to vent those emotions.

Feel free to send another ask or something if you would like elaboration on anything, or if you would like to present a counterargument. I try to be a fairly open-minded person, and am always willing to examine others' arguments in good faith.

#sorry it took me so long to reply i hate the tumblr dash now lol and can't stand being on it but also hate writing posts on the app #battleaxe bi #i do genuinely appreciate the ask i loved seeing it #honestly it's a good callback for me to remember that there's still people on the other side of posts #and I should keep away from the more 'hateful' shit and more towards just #being annoyed and complaining

[matan4il]

I would love it if you allowed me a scream into the void moment. No worries if you dont post. But I'm bothered today by antis.

Heres the thing I ship for leisure, I have shipped queer, straight canon ext. I have had ships sail, sink or die. When I'm on the 🤡 end of the ship it doesn't bother me. I get it. Eddie and Buck are canon "straight" on the show. I get why you think I'm a clown 🤡.

But heres the thing I dont get, why are antis not getting this writing isnt normal. I fully am prepared for Buddie not to happen, shit with my luck the will thing was because they plan to kill Eddie off because Ryan wants to leave and they want to keep Christopher with Buck and Taylor. However my point remains nothing about the writing of Eddie and Buck is typical and just admit it.

The constant queer baiting on the small scale mixed with your my kids legal gaurdian on the huge scale. Eddies panic attacks. The angst of Eddie leaving combined with all the Buck adondenemt issues and also Eddie stopping him from leaving. It just doesnt add up. And maybe I'm wrong, but also antis need to acknowledge this isnt normal and they could be wrong and not hate as much.

Hi Nonnie! You are ALWAYS welcome to scream whatever you need to in my inbox! *hugs*

I get what you're saying. I'm not sure I can say that I ship for leisure with the amount of meta'ing I have done, but I do generally believe in "live and let live" in fandom. Everyone's free to disagree with any of my meta's, to interpret things differently, to like whichever characters or ships they like, etc. I firmly believe that at the end of the day, fandom is what we do to help make real life (rl) better, so whatever brings people joy is fine in my book (as long as we're not talking downright offensive opinions).

But even so, I agree with you fully and think that there is something quite unusual about the writing for Buddie. 'Coz here's the thing, yeah, maybe if we search hard enough, we could find a good rl het explanation for everything Buddie have done/been through, but shows aren't rl. To make my point, in rl we go to the bathroom every day not long after we wake up. But we don't see it on screen. If we suddenly do see a character go to the bathroom in the morning, then something IS UP. Maybe we'll discover that they have some sort of a serious medical condition, or that she's pregnant. We don't know yet, but we know that there is some reason for why the show made this unusual choice, and that it's asking us to pay extra attention to this. The same thing can be said about the way Buddie has been written, there are a lot of unusual choices that beg us to pay attention to these two together, as partners and as a family unit with Chris. If you look at the sum of my meta, those are the choices that I'm trying to highlight, the ones that are out of the ordinary and that call attention to Buddie as possibly something other than friends... If a straight couple would have gotten this treatment, then even if they didn't eventually get together, I would fully expect at least one of them to have a feelings realization at some point (an example for that are Dean and Vic on Station 19, who got a lot of similar elements to Buddie, and where eventually Dean was forced to admit he's in love with Vic, even though the actor decided to leave the show before the two of them ever got the chance to get together).

Anyway, my point is you're right and I'm with you, and please feel free to use my meta as proof whenever you wanna point out that the writing for Buddie is NOT the standard writing for friends, even really good, close friends.

Thank you for sending this and big hugs to you! xoxox

To anyone else who sent me an ask, I am going through all of them, thank you so much for your patience! If you wanna check whether I've replied to yours yet, you can have a look at my ask tag. xoxox

[imagine-your-love-story]

Thank you for encouraging a safe space on Tumblr. It might seem like basic courtesy to leave people be, leave them their comfort and creative freedom, but apparently it's not. As someone who has very questionable self ship poly dynamics, it's.. nice not being scared of seeing "Don't interact if this- dont interact if that" and then in danger of harrassment.

Please keep spreading these vibes of comfort and love - you're a great person whom we need a lot more of in the world wide web

You're very welcome, lovely! :) :) :)

Hoo boy. I have...soooo many thoughts on like....ALL of this. And this post is gonna get LONG because I've opened the can of worms and I'm lettin' it all out :P

The amount of bullying and negativity I've seen in the selfshipping community lately is very painful and disappointing to watch. Tumblr and fandom has always been somewhat of a cesspool but I had hoped that selfshipping was a little better.

I'm not seeing a positive community on a large scale right now.

There are some people who are shining little stars out there of course! But there's more hate being spread around than I can stomach.

I've spent Y E A R S researching and unlearning and pushing back against the psychological and emotional effects of manipulative behaviors like: blame, guilt, shame, and harassment.

I absolutely 100000% believe you can speak to people civilly and state your reasons why you think their behavior is damaging. Without telling them, "You are wrong. You are a bad person." Or otherwise making them feel shitty about themselves.

And I also believe that you CAN allow that person to say, "I don't agree with what you're saying" and you can still have normal interactions with that person without immediately shunning them and labeling them as a terrible person.

People BLOSSOM when they are showered in love, acceptance, and understanding. People are MUCH more willing to listen and heed what you have to say when you give them SPACE to see your point of view (or disagree with you and still accept them).

This culture on social media where people jump STRAIGHT to, "You're a HORRIBLE person because you do something I disagree with!" is, frankly, horrifying and a little disgusting.

Does this mean I condone negative and damaging behaviors?

No. Absolutely not.

But there seems to be this loss of perspective on what is considered "negative and damaging behaviors".

1. It's fiction. Fiction has NEVER been "clean". It's a place of freedom to discuss EVERYTHING.

2. You don't have to feel comfortable with everything being discussed in fiction. I'm not. If I don't like a self-shipper's content because it hits some trigger buttons for me...I don't follow their blog. Because that's my boundary and I have every right to it.

Do I send them messages saying, "You're a toxic person!"

Nope.

Do I comment on their ship that they love and say, "This makes me uncomfortable!"

Nope.

It's not my business.

Also: it’s fiction and there are MUCH bigger problems that require my energy than whether or not I should correct someone’s fictional ship.

Go save the ocean.

Go save the rainforest.

Go save the planet you live and breath on.

Fiction should not be making you angry enough to send hate mail to someone else. Full stop. That should never ever be a priority.

3. Some people engage in selfshipping "negative behaviors" as a way to cope with their trauma. We have no idea what a person has been through and we have no right to tell them that they should stop what they're doing when we do not know where they are on their journey of healing.

It hurts my heart so, so much when I receive messages from selfshippers like you, dear anon, who are TERRIFIED to share their love stories with their characters because they're afraid of being labeled/attacked/harassed by the community.

That's the community letting you down. That should NOT be happening and I'm so sorry you're feeling that way, lovely.

The ENTIRE point of selfshipping was to ESCAPE the people who criticized for shipping yourself with a character that you love. The foundation of selfshipping is that ANYTHING is possible!!! You are limitless!!!

And now people are policing what you can do??? That's...that completely obliterates the point of selfshipping. That's WHY we escaped to our own community!

I don't know if this video is available outside of the U.S., but I highly recommend, the Crappy Childhood Fairy's Youtube video on Cancel Culture. It's a great listen when you're navigating the emotional turmoil of social media culture.

So, if you're still reading after ALL OF THAT :P here are some key points about this blog and my philosophy when it comes to selfshipping:

This blog will always be a judgment free zone

Of course I have opinions! Of course we may disagree on something! But I won't judge you for it. You're allowed to do your own thang! ;)

I will never have a DNI.

If I feel an interaction is crossing into territory that isn't appropriate or acceptable, I'll say so. And if that doesn't work, I'll block and report. But I will never have a DNI on this blog.

Yes, I am an adult. So if minors don't feel comfortable following my blog, it's okay if they don't! I understand!

But I don't have a problem talking with minors because they are human beings and they may need support. I worked in Youth Services at a library for over two years. I know sometimes kids just want someone to talk about cool books and movies with and I'm 100% down for that 24/7 :)

Because this blog is all-ages friendly, I will never post 18+ content because - just like IRL - I make sure that I am mindful of the people around me. I may post some suggestive content that is tagged, but I try not to get too explicit.

I also don’t really think a DNI is necessary for me personally. Of course if I feel threatened by someone, I won’t interact with that person. But if a shipper is into content that I don’t like???? I don’t feel the need to say, “I will never interact with you!” That’s....exhausting. Besides, there are plenty of other things we can chat about! :)

I will always share f/os.

I know some people don't like to share and that's their boundary they can draw if they want to (no shade here!), but I've found that if I don't share, it's a very lonely experience. So I always share and I’m happy to interact if we have the same f/o :)

DMs are always open if you need a shoulder to lean on

If you need to dump or vent or whatever, my DMs will always be open so you can chat! It can feel weird, and maybe you'll feel bad because you won't know what to say!!!

That's okay :)

Even if all you want to do is vent and never reply, I'm happy to listen and offer any words of encouragement and support you need to hear! :)

#asks #anonymous #penny chats #i hope that monster of a response was helpful! :P #edit: LOL i just watched my follower count PLUMMET after posting this #don't care #i said what i said #i'm gonna keep spreadin' love around!!! :D

[eternasci]

Writing questions! I'm going to rattle off a bunch of general questions, but please feel free to pick and choose whichever ones you'd prefer to elaborate on!

When writing, how would you describe your process of writing a reply? What comes first, what does the brain find its most intrigue in when responding to a partner, when is it time to slot in the icons? Are there some attributes of the character you actively aim to display specifically through the way your text is written? Are there any facets you find it important to emphasize while writing, and how does that impact the way you write?

If you're the type to write multiple muses, does your writing style change between characters? Would you say you have a particular style of writing at all? Or are you just letting your typing take you wherever it may?

Starters, asks, plotted threads: what's your preferred method of beginning interactions? Fluff, angst, comedy: what do you find most fun? Is there a type of writing that you don't get to do very often and would like to?

it's my turn for the question barrage huh lil bitch. jokes on you, i’m answering all of it.

When writing, how would you describe your process of writing a reply?

When I'm writing, I try to think of a powerful first sentence. Usually the bold snippet that goes before the rest of my writing. More often than not, it sets the tone for the rest of the post. That alone is why it takes me a while to write... I usually go off the flow of the first sentence.

This part. I’m aiming for alliteration, something lyrical. Rhythmic. Some sort of first statement that sends me rushing into the rest of the post. 

What does the brain find its most intrigue in when responding to a partner?

Usually I fixate on the reaction of my muse to the most prevalent stimuli of the previous post, so not everything gets acknowledged (which I sometimes feel bad for, but I never omit the meat of what someone has said to me; if it is omitted, it is at least regarded in my text with a reason as to why, usually always intentional on the part of my muse [e.g. them ignoring something rude, quietly judging, etc.] It doesn’t just get brushed off--it’s just that humans will obviously fixate on what is most important to them, even if we find differing things “important”).

Because I often play characters who actively self report via body language (whether they want to or not) but simultaneously are sensitive to others’ nonverbal and verbal language (Lucy especially, as they are an overthinker), I will home in on another person’s body language, or anything that my muse will perceive as something deeper that requires inquiry. 

I thrive off emotions and seek body language, as that is another form of communication of its own (especially the juxtaposition of saying one thing while your body vehemently disagrees). I, and my present muse especially, look for that.

When is it time to slot in the icons?

With Tumblr’s latest bullshit, I just try to avoid the beginning of the reply at this point. Not that it can always be helped, as I prefer my first paragraph be at least three sentences along (arbitrary rules, anyone?). I have a version with blockquotes built in just because I hate how the icons hump the blockquotes now. So much. But I’m excitedly waiting on a new theme because I might change the color/aesthetic of them as a result... reeeeee.

That being said, excluding the aforementioned, I usually do an icon befitting the vibe of the paragraph that comes before or after it. No real rhyme or reason. Just mostly avoiding the beginning.

Are there some attributes of the character you actively aim to display specifically through the way your text is written?

My OC is a fancy motherfucker. That’s it. That’s the attribute. They’re lofty, ethereal, and speak like they came right out of the clouds where their head can be found sometimes. I’ve been told my writing and my general communication varies... greatly... to the point where my first reply in a group a while back got me a “oh, that’s not how I expected you to write.” 

I worry my writing is off-putting as a result, but c’est la vie. They’re a musical kind of person, similar to my other muse you know so well, so I try to have my writing equally as lyrical and whimsical. They’re also just all kinds of extra. Look at their wardrobe, man.

Are there any facets you find it important to emphasize while writing, and how does that impact the way you write?

Their good nature is very important to me. I also typically liken them to a bird of various type (songbird, due to their lyricism, their desire for freedom), as well as light (based on their name, their ethereal aspects, their personality being so buoyant and jubilant). This just means I have to write like an angel is a god damn angel, and it can be uhhhh pretty difficult and repetitive. Boy do I try. 

I also exemplify their anxiety, as they have not yet come to realize how drastic it is, and how much help they need. Even in their fully-fledged development, they can still be a little... overly anxious. Their thoughts, generally very visible even if my writing and comprehension of said writing can be a lot, are always very visible. The process of their thinking, too--because honestly, without that, it might look like they’ve got their shit together. No, they’re just so anxious they come up with a million scenarios and prepare for each and every one.

If you're the type to write multiple muses, does your writing style change between characters?

Hmph. It should. But I am starting to doubt that. I haven’t written many different archetypes. I like to think that it does... and perhaps with a different character (I’m considering making a sideblog for my boy Soren... love he, and he definitely isn’t as singsong-y as Lucien) I would experience that again! But I think my style is just... haughty, hoity-toity, no matter what I do. I can only hope that’s not the case, especially since I do shorter things off-site with less gusto. What’s wrong with me?

Would you say you have a particular style of writing at all? Or are you just letting your typing take you wherever it may?

If my shit ain’t sounding like a song, I’m doing it wrong. Sometimes I’ll throw my hands up and let whatever happens, happen, though. Usually that’s because I’ve lost the plot and don’t remember what’s going on... and just want to continue with a new post.

Starters, asks, plotted threads: what's your preferred method of beginning interactions? 

Light plotting works best for me. Anything does, really. I’m not too good with asks. And I think I write boring starters but I try to take them places. I try. I usually just look at people’s info and see what I can capitalize on in their histories.

Fluff, angst, comedy: what do you find most fun? Is there a type of writing that you don't get to do very often and would like to?

I’m a sucker for anything and everything. Though... I do like introspective roleplays, shared kindred spirits bonding because of similar growing pains, etc. I also like magic fights, which I definitely don’t get to do enough. Conflict is so fun. Arguments. Difficult relationships. Betrayal. Just... the more painful side of things. I don’t think angst is quite the word--it feels weak nowadays, simultaneous with “my muse is hurt and you comfort them and you’re sad about it.”

Maybe that’s just the angst I’ve been exposed to from my earlier years, but I want characters torn apart by mental anguish, as a result of a close friend’s words, actions, etc. People breaking up, and navigating that now empty space on the side of their bed and coming back together. I like watching @lionfanged​‘s relationship burn as a result even if I’m cheering on this poor mess of a man in the bg.  😊

[wikipedie]

you can just delete the apology because insincere trite "apologies" don't mean shit especially when you doubled down on your rudeness in the response to my second ask and went on with this weird i was expecting debate and intellectual répartie bullshit and i hate to break it to you but people on anon disagreeing with you is not an invite for you to talk down to them and write a fucking essay about how very wrong they are actually, these peasants. and yes that's exactly how it came across.

(2/3): and for the love of fuck do not gaslight someone (even someone on anon) when you're confronted with your own bad behaviour. i did not come to start a fight. i saw a post of yours about this poly storyline in the tag (and i guess using an anti dana tag was too hard for you) and i reacted to it. i could have very well replied to the original post or reblogged it if i was looking for a fight. me being on anon was actually the kindest approach i could take.

(3/3): and lastly just because some misuse anon asks to harass and hurl insults with impunity doesn't mean you should be a condescending prick to someone sending you an ask just airing their point of view and being polite about it. i called you dude. if i had been trying to start a fight, i would have been a lot more aggressive. and if YOU wanted an actual discussion you'd have asked me to come off anon not make a snide comment about needing to go to therapy.

Answer: I apologized for being condescending, I have nothing more to say. If you don't think it's genuine, well...I have nothing to prove to you. I didn't even really expect that you would see it, considering I didn't tag it as anything L word related, I simply wanted to write it. Take of that as you will. Also, I will say though, people writing to me on my blog, it is actually an invite for me to reply. And I can do it however i wish. I do not have to be condescending, of course, but there aren't specifically rules telling me not to be. If I want to write an essay in reply to an Anon, I can. It is my time and energy, and if you felt insulted by that... my bad I guess, lol. I would have still done it, perhaps with some things rephrased differently. I like essays trying to analyze scenes, relationships and characters. Feel free to block me if you wish, as you don't have to keep seeing my opinions.

As for the therapy answer, I still think you need it. To be fair, that is my answer for a lot of things and I think the world would be better if therapy were more normalised.

Hi there !!

This is just a fun little thing I've started doing and wanted to share with the world!

Firstly; My Carrd : Here!

My pronouns plus just some things about me are there if you'd like to get to know me !!

More : @summer-storm

Sorry if the formatting is weird! I'm not the best at formatting ;w;

Intro !!

These are characters I came up with based on sets of pronouns. It's not meant to be anything serious, just something for fun. Feel free to disagree with any of the designs, just don't send hate! This is all lighthearted!

If there's anything I post that is incorrect information-wise (such as the use of a term, the credit, etc), feel free to let me know nicely! I don't want to offend anyone!

Feel free to suggest neopronoun sets to make characters of! I'd love ideas of combinations to do as well !!

Also, feel free to just send a message! I'm too shy to send something to someone on my own but I'd love responding to people and just hearing how people are doing !!

Character Information Guide !!

Name: Their name/what they go by

Pronouns: Their pronouns, which is also the original inspiration for the character

Age: bodily age

Body: AFAB/AMAB

Gender: The gender/s they identify as

Sexuality: Self explanatory

Height: Self explanatory

Human?: If they identify as human or not (leaving open the option to create otherkin characters because id love to once i research them so its accurate)

Personality: Just a little bit about how they act!

Picrew: [Link]

Gender: [Link] (if the character uses a xenogender identity that i found)

Sexuality: [Link] (if the character uses an uncommon sexuality term that i found)

Suggestion Guidelines !!

I just ask that you keep it simple! If you want to suggest pronouns send the set or combination of neopronouns. If you'd like to give a general theme or feeling that they give you personally, that's alright, but please don't tell me exactly what to make!

This is going to sound angery, but I want you to know that I genuinely like your blog [it's helped me as a Christian and been very inspiring] and you [I mean I don't know you but you seem lovely]. How can you compare Trump supporters to Nazis when Antifa set a university on fire to prevent a gay Jew from speaking? When within a week of Trumps election a guy was pulled from his truck and beaten for being "One of those white boys who voted Trump!" [he didn't even have a Trump bumper sticker].

Hey anon -

I’ve tried to figure out which one of your messages to reply to, because I’m only going to go this far off-topic for you once. I’m also going to do it under a cut, so my followers that prefer to avoid political discourse can.

 In all honesty, I have no idea where you’re coming from, because I have never once compared Trump supporters to Nazis.  Not once.  Never.  Don’t believe me?  Here’s every instance of the word “Trump” on my blog.  

In case you missed it, I’ve only posted one thing about him since the election, and that was the Christmas song “Oi to the World,” a diversity-celebrating punk song meant to encourage folks that might be feeling threatened by the recent rise in xenophobia.  Am I a fan of Trump?  Not by a long shot.  Do I call all Trump supporters Nazi?  Hell no.  Because that would make most of my family Nazis, and I’m aware that they aren’t.  They attempted to pick the lesser of two evils, and while I vehemently disagree with the option they picked, I am perfectly capable of still loving and respecting them as individuals who care about me and care about the state of our country.

You know who I called Nazis?  Nazis.  Antisemitic fascists who openly state “I don’t want a society based on equality“  or that promote so-called “peaceful ethnic cleansing” or that publish articles asking “Is Black Genocide Right?”

And I get it, I do.  You’re on tumblr, and you see this mob-mentality that’s ready to tar & feather anyone that questions HRC’s policies or fitness for the office of president.  You see everyone drawing lines in the sand and phrasing everything as “us” vs. “them,” as though we have to either align ourselves with violent rioters or the hate-filled professional troll & pedophilia apologist they were protesting.  

But I’m not going to do it.  I’m not going to buy into this system that says everyone who voted for Trump is a racist homophobe that wants to leave Syrian refugees to die.  I’m not going to buy into the assertion that anyone who voted for Hillary Clinton is a libtard sheeple that hates free speech brainwashed by the lamestream media.  I’m going to work hard with my local charity to ensure refugees find a place to call home.  I’m going to engage my local senator to reassess his recent rubber-stamping of every proposal the White House sends out; I’m also going to challenge the people around me to be more respectful and engage in a meaningful way with him, rather than just screaming partisan slogans.  And I’m going to do whatever I can to ensure the local and national government is held accountable for ensuring “liberty and justice for all.”

If you want to talk, (and I mean actually talk instead of anonymously dumping your socio-political existential angst in my askbox), please do so.  I have friends and mutuals here on tumblr that I can talk about my faith & my political leanings with; people that challenge me and that, hopefully, I challenge to be better.  You’re welcome to send me an ask or a tumblr message that I can reply to without having to fill my blog with this much off-topic political discourse.  But I’m also not buying into a system that attempts to validate people spewing their political positions into the void of the internet when their followers are really just here for alignment charts and d&d related reactions gifs.

Also, fuck Nazis.
