Me in 2016: You know, saying things like "trans rights are human rights" doesn't necessarily mean that person is safe around trans people. In fact, sometimes people still have unchecked bias against trans people, and that can be clouded by them saying that trans rights are human rights. It can prevent them from fully looking into their own preconceptions about cissexism and trans people.

Me in 2023: Oh, thank gd this person said "trans rights are human rights," I was worried they also abhorred trans people

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #you know i still kind of agree with the 2016 statement but that comes with the caveat that at least they're fucking saying that... #....our rights are human rights. so long as their actions also reflect that i have way less of a problem with that statement than before #but it's crazy just how awful it's gotten in some ways #bruh i was worried a hisotry youtuber i somewhat liked was an anti-woke chud... #..and then i was proven wrong when he blatently posted support for trans people so good for him!! always happy to be proven wrong (genuine) #can statements like TRAHR be used disingenuously to put a false sense of secutity in them? yes sure... but also... #...don't immediately jump to that conclusion *unless* they have shown their ass about it #note that when i say 'anti-woke' i mean how conservatives belolieve woke means things they don't like #NOT the meaning of woke that originated in Black spaces and AA(V)E #hopefully that clears any confusion?

Touma Akagi is my son (and Kiria is my daughter so I drew her again bc I love and cherish her) and I just. Think that he's a funny fella. A little guy. The Mirage relationships are so funny cause it's like. Main guy > similar wanting to help everyone vibes and Mirage is supportive. Main girl > very affectionate looking out for her by Mirage. Touma and Cain > "Touma, you concern me" "that's mean to say out loud :c" "very well..."

Touma is just fun ;w; I like him. I want him to just be friends with absolutely everyone.

#tokyo mirage sessions #touma akagi #kiria kurono #please im dying dont say that OH I THOUGHT HE WAS THAT GUY FROM 3H cause i know people will #please let me just enjoy my son touma akagi of tms fame #also kiria is my most used unit in feh and imagine if i continute to vote every slot for a brave touma #they can be buddies and i can be v happy about it #also why is his hair so bright in art and then dull in game screenshots this is confusing me #im very bad with colors as is...

Polyamorous fans 🤝 Aro fans

Feeling alienated by fandom separating all the characters into Typical Romantic Pairings instead of splashing around in all the joyous canon connections between all of them that are explicitly counter-cultural and not-defined by normalized terms

#saw some fanart of z o l u and n a m i v i v i in one pic and i was like why does this make me sad. im gay. these are both good. #BABE. THE RELATIONSHIP HIERARCHY. #it happened again😔 #they're all together. they're not all together all together in the same ways between every two people but THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER. #romantic or not im happy BUT THEY'RE AAAALLL TOGETHERRRRR #the two pairs of people in that pic are not ignoring each other. they're not just happy for each other. THEY LOVE EACH OTHERR TOOOOOOOO #it's big and weird and messy and perfect. they're family. they're family. shut up. ugh. im crazy. #my posts #i love when people depict physical affection between the crewmates i just hate when it's exclusively paired up. they're all hugging and #kissing each other on the cheek actually. i was there.

[thatwasthenightthingschanged]

I feel soo disconnected from the tiktok side of the fandom like I just feel like they're completely different from me & that feels weird considering I always thought I get along well with any person who is a swiftie

#bc swifties used to be a certain kind of people who were v similar to me personality-wise #& with taylor's popularity i feel like there are now also fans who are completely different from me #maybe that is the true reason why i don't like taylor's popularity atm idk #it's just that taylor was always the artist for me & the ppl who also felt like they don't fit in anywhere #& now she's popular among the 'popular' crowd & so i no longer feel like i fully belong into the fandom??? if that makes sense #although i'm ofc happy for taylor & her success #if that makes sense

davepeta...... the thing u gotta consider about them is the fact that homestuck is really explicitly a Narrative. like, sure, it sucks that davesprite couldnt have a satisfying story as his own person, but thats BECAUSE he was structurally a Less Important Dave in the storyline, and he knew that, and it made him really depressed. I love davesprite, but he was always always always going to be held in comparison to dave, and dave was always always always going to be the one more important to the living players, and the one getting real character development. there was no way forward for davesprite alone! which sucked

wrt nepeta..... she had been dead a long time. she was a ghost, she was pretty happy hanging out w her version of equius in the afterlife, and it was really awkward and shoehorned in to have her brought back as a sprite just to make jasprose happy. but u know what? her version of equius became arquius. and the x2 combo of a meowrails and strider bros reunion in arquius and davepeta makes me gd cry

the thing about merging into davepeta for davesprite especially is that it made them a distinct, relevant character again. something seperate from dave, something that could narratively have their own development and relationships. its similar to how rosesprite became much happier as jasprose; she didnt have to bow down as the alpha rose anymore, because she was something different now. neither of them felt relegated to the sidelines the way the sprites prototyped w only one person often do.

also like?? nonbinary icon made from the two coolest characters in the series??? sprite squared cat versions of the best siblings in the series???? kisses for jade?????? davepeta going to fight fuckin lord english??????? what an absolute gem. claw claw meowtherfuckers for real only issue is we didnt get more of them

#it me #davepeta #davepetasprite^2 #homestuck #also blah blah 'theyre not happy theyre on drugs' (<- actual thing someone said to me btw) #v much not true. a) davepeta seems sooo much more in control and less manic than jasprose from the start #b) I dont think EITHER of them were really 'on drugs' they both just like...... got an energy boost from becoming a more ascended being #jaspers' confidence and wild kitty hours had an effect on rose's personality its true #davepeta for SURE tho was just. two people. with an understanding of all that those two people could ever be that brought them some peace #honestly a lot of the happiness came from realizing there were versions of themselves out there that were ACTUALLY HAPPY #because alpha timeline davesprite and nepeta SURE WERENT THE THE HAPPIEST DAVE AND NEPETAS OUT THERE #anyway. love them

It’s hard to say how much of this is me projecting, but I do think that part of the point of dunmeshi is the group learning not to put Falin on pedestal and instead let her be her own person whom their lives do not revolve around even as they continue to love her. And in that context I think it’s kind of a bummer that the fandom kinda sorta puts Falin on a pedestal

#both in terms of glorifying aspects of her that the characters glorify #& in being v positive about the characters glorfying her. especially Marcille sorry I just think that she keeps Falin in a box sometimes #I dunno. I relate a lot to Falin’s tendency to always want to keep people happy #and I personally think it’s both a strength and a flaw. see: the comic about how the way she heals is kinda more dangerous bc she doesn’t #want people to feel pain #she’s a character too!! let her be messy 😭

HI! hello! this is me! 𝕯 𝖆 𝖓 𝖙 𝖊 ! here for a little personal time. For anyone new to following my stuff I wanted to just give a general warning, I'm in a stage of uploading v frequently right now but I very often have to go on short-ish hiatuses because ya boy is d i s g u s t i n g l y busy!! I will dump a bit of Dante lore for clarity: I'm in my third year of my Law PhD (don't worry I hate law I'm there out of spite to tell everyone how much it sucks), I'm getting married this year, I'm moving from one house on top of an endangered bat nest to ANOTHER house on top of an endangered bat nest, I'm finishing my first full novel (lesbian body horror, ofc), and unfortunately I am also disabled with one of those cool rare disorders that make my friends studying forensic anthropology go 'oooooo your bones are nasty' so that causes bullshit to happen sometimes! I do warn if I go on haitus though, I just worry when I'm in my groove I set a bad standard for my usual work load, but if I suddenly don't post for a while I'm not dead! I swear! This is also to say I was thinking about maybe opening up for fic requests? At least for short things, I'm a character writer at heart so when I say something will be a sexy one shot I'm always lying but if people request it I can temper my expectations because I am a filthy people pleaser who desperately needs approval ! SO I'm not open yet but would anyone be interested in that?? If so I will consider

#dante posting #can you guys tell i have anxiety? #by the way i am explaining everything i do? #im v sneaky about it #im srs about requests tho id be into it #actually for art or fics #i just want people to be happy w me

[akuma-tenshi]

so this is a big, long rant about sexism in the idv community bc it's been on my mind lately and i need to put it out there. this is what i've observed after almost four years in the fandom and been stewing on for a long-ass time. if you don't feel like reading an essay on how annoyed some random enby on the internet is, then don't click the read more and just keep scrolling. don't interact with this post if all you're gonna do is get mad; i'm not here to piss anyone off, just make observations. and if this isn't your experience, good for you and please direct me to whatever circles you run in because i need to be there.

so, i've noticed that the idv fandom is extremely shit when it comes to how they treat female characters, and nobody really.. talks about it?? the only person i've ever seen actually discuss it used it as a way to drum up sympathy for ada. which, if you know me, you know really fucking pisses me off. because there are SO MANY OTHER EXAMPLES of sexism in this community, but no, clearly because we have sympathy for a male victim of abuse we're being sexist towards his abuser.

the thing is. there is so much to point to when you talk about how the fandom is sexist. it's very common to see female characters boiled down to just a couple traits. mary?? hot mommy step on me. michiko?? soft and gentle and demure (don't think i won't notice the weird shit about how that's a very common stereotype of asian women btw i see it). demi?? hot and drinks a lot. emma and lily are "uwu mentally ill babies". annie is soft. emily is either an irredeemable monster or a bitch, depending on who you're talking to. patricia is scary and mean. sangria's a girlboss, grace is soft and gentle, martha is spunky. and if you ask anyone their thoughts / ideas on these characters beyond those short descriptors you get nothing. i'm starting to fucking hate the word "girlboss" because it's all anyone says in response to like half these characters.

male characters are given alllllll the nuance in the world you can't talk to an aesop fan without them going into their endless headcanons / theories on why he's the way he is or how he's not actually that bad of a person or how cute he is or whatever. look at norton, or eli, or orpheus, or luca, or edgar, or joseph, or ithaqua, or any characters in that vein, and look at how the fandom treats them. look at the endless fanfictions and character studies and ships and x readers and headcanons. and then look at what female characters get. nowhere near that much.

i feel like margaretha and emily are the ones who suffer the most from this male-centric view by the fandom. they're characters who are inherently intricate, whose actions can't be explained away as entirely good or entirely bad. but that doesn't stop people from actively trying. they're going to act like margaretha wasn't being horrifically mistreated by her husband and just decided to burn down the circus for funsies or whatever. they're going to act like emily isn't trying so fucking hard to help emma and repent for what she's done. neither of them are meant to be read as black-and-white, but people will try because if they have to use more than two braincells on a female character they're going to implode.

meanwhile you get paragraph after paragraph about the intricacies of the argument between luca and alva. you get so many people analysing the relationship between norton and orpheus and how they're both kinda dicks but also both kinda have points. you get endless people defending joseph's actions bc his brother's dead and he's terrified of growing old / forgetting the people he loved / dying. you get so many fucking stories about how y'know, edgar's not that bad actually.

AND I'M NOT AGAINST ANALYSING THESE CHARACTERS!!! idv, especially in recent years, has been doing some great things with character writing. like, fuck 'em, they've got their issues, but they're still really good with some stuff and deserve credit. but don't act like it's not obvious how so many people have overlooked women (and poc, don't think i've noticed people ignoring the intricacies behind william and ganji as characters as well in favour of "himbo" and "bastard who cares", but i'm white so that's not exactly my place to talk) in favour of their favourite skinny whiteboy of the week.

they're that way with older-looking characters, too. if an idv guy has facial hair, you bet your ass he's also getting boiled down to his base traits. jose's an alcoholic, kevin is self-sacrificing and likes women, kurt is a little guy, kreacher is Awful, charles basically doesn't fucking exist anymore. but again not the focus of the talk atm.

it's just. so upsetting. esp. since most of my favourite idv characters are women but everyone i talk to about them is like "oh yeah demi's hot" or "aww annie's such a nervous little baby" or "god patricia's such a cool girlboss". and even when the shit they say is positive in a vacuum it still makes me so upset bc THAT'S NOT ALL THEY ARE!! demi is kind and loving and hardworking in the face of a world that only ever hurt her. annie's life has been an endless stream of pain and heartbreak and the only thing she really wants is freedom. patricia is literally cursed and is trying to find her place in the world.

also. i fucking hate ada but she falls victim to this too. as much as i despise the "you dislike her just bc you're sexist" thing and as horribly uncomfortable as she makes me, don't act like you haven't seen how her entire character is boiled down to how much she "loves" this man. don't act like you haven't seen how her entire character, all of her promise and potential, is forgotten in favour of that fucking trainwreck of a relationship. i bet half the fandom can't tell me anything about her other than her relationship with emil. emil suffers from this too, with his backstory and personality and life of abuse becoming an afterthought, but again, not what we're focusing on.

this is not an isolated thing or confined solely to the idv fandom. this happens in fandoms everywhere. but because idv is so close to my heart i feel like i really need to talk about it. there's so little content of female characters when there's fucking daily content of male ones. and don't get me wrong, i do like male characters. norton is literally one of my favourite fictional characters and i love talking about / analysing him. but i can guarantee a lot of people wouldn't be so interested in him if he was a woman.

sorry, just needed to get that off my chest. mandatory "this doesn't apply to everyone in the fandom" and "if this doesn't apply to you then i'm not fucking talking about you". we were so against the ashley wood collaboration bc of how much he sexualised michiko (and women in general) but like. do y'all really care that much?? bc i really don't think you do.
