for anyone not caught up on the Cait Corrain debacle (what i referenced in my post last week), themarysue wrote up a great summary and provides links to a lot of receipts.

to sum up, as briefly as i can: a white author review-bombed multiple debuts (all but one of which are by authors of color) in their own release timeframe (early 2024) as well as one Black indie author who has several books already published. when privately called out on the 2024 debut slack, Corrain made up a "friend" and tried to pin it all on her with very obviously photoshopped receipts (and many reylos came out to say they'd never heard of the reylo Corrain refers to/blames for the review-bombing), and then quickly said their agent told them to stop talking about it.

as of today, 12/11, Corrain's agent dropped them and their US publisher Del Rey is no longer publishing the book in 2024 (it remains to be seen if the contract has been terminated full stop or if the publisher intends to push the book back--or perhaps publish a different book by Corrain entirely. that all depends on the contract parameters, which we the viewer wouldn't have access to, so i'm sure we'll hear something eventually). their UK publisher Daphne Press has tweeted that they're looking into it all to make a decision on their actions with regard to the book and Corrain going forward (in other words, whether they'll do as Del Rey has done).

unfortunately, that's not where it ends, as one author (Bethany Baptiste, who's Black) was smeared by a different white author with false claims of ableism for Bethany's use of a phrase in AAVE (Bethany explained what she meant many times, as well as in that ^^ twitter thread, and people continued to purposefully "misunderstand" her) to very obviously try to distract from what Cait Corrain (who is white) did. Cait was allowed to hide and put their accounts on private. Bethany was raked over the coals and forced to continuously defend herself online (all while dealing with a death in the family).

read themarysue's post as well as Bethany's twitter thread if you want a more detailed rundown!

finally got the time to put down my critrole c3 self insert, deimos dustbit! lun is a half-fairy moon cleric that worships ruidus and is feeling really okay and normal with the recent lore developments surrounding ruidus (lie). eternal little sibling complex. imagine if t‌im dra‌ke was worse. she's shipped with prism + has a crush on laud‌na, imo‌gen, and fearn‌e!

#okay to rb! #using the name deimos for A REASON this time SMILES. #because deimos is mars's smaller moon and ruidus is exandria's smaller moon. it's all coming together. #lun chose ruidus to worship because lun saw it as the 'younger brother' (true in more ways than lun knew) like lunar. #self insert #art.exe #finished #i feel like i haven't posted art in forever. #fairies in critical role don't actually um have antennae they have funky eyebrows. #but letme have this i realyl wanted the segmented antennae.

even in the most seemingly lonely and desperate times, comfort is there and can be found in the smallest things. the beauty of those flowers you saw, the way the sun filters through your window, the smell and softness of fresh bedding, the sound of wind rustling the trees. there is so much love left in you and i promise we’re going to be okay

#okay to rb! #was thinking today abt how i tend to find solace in the smallest things when i’m really down #this post is kind of a reminder for me when i feel like nothing is okay and im hopeless #reminder #bun txt

i rlly kinda need fat liberation or body positivity or whatever to be so so so So much better about includong masculine folks in their resources and conversations.

ive rarely been femme even before i knew i wasnt a woman so its not like ive really had a bountiful access to fat resources aimed towards femme folks but god damn i have felt my options shrink even smaller the less comfortable i am with femme aimed resources and how out of place my body seems within so many of those spaces and resources. ESPECIALLY ones that can accomodate my trans body, tits (that i don't hate! and don't foresee going anywhere anytime soon!) and all.

i know how few plus sized clothing brands there are (not even getting into affordable + ethically made etc etc) but if the ones that exist its an OVERWHELMINGLY femme aligned majority that i feel miserable wearing without a lot of extra styling and modification work. or the amount of masc clothes in stock at plus size resale stores vs femme clothes. or if i am looking for style inspiration or folks speaking about fat liberation finding fit insp for fat women is easy! but i have a much smaller pool of fat masculine folks (who i treasure dearly!) that ive found and return to their content regularly because its so valuable to me because its often hidden under content that, while important, has limited usefulness for me

i find this extra prevalent in body positivity spaces, where it often feels like resources and information is shared with the assumption that its been shared to other femme folks and women without specifying that is who its usefulness is aimed towards. what triggered this post right now (although its honestly always lurking around the corner, watch out if you have a single conversation with me about fat liberation) was a post about body positivity where someone shared a resource of a website where you can put in your height, weight, other info and see people who might look like you (and make it easier to appreciate their body where you find it difficult to appreciate your own). and i thought thats a cool resource! i dont get to see people who look like me, hardly ever! lets check it out!

unfortunately what wasnt included was that the subtitle for this site is "what real women look like" so while there wasn't any info stating identities of the people shown on the photos, of the few i clicked through they all were femme and while they looked great, i didnt see anyone who i felt looked like me to get what i hoped out of that site. this would have been fine if the person had posted it had stated its target audience up front, but this isnt the first time, and wont be the last time, that i got excited about a resource only to learn it actually has very little that applies to me.

if you are someone who shares content about fat liberation, PLEASE consider how much content and resources you share that can be utilized by your masculine followers as well - and at the very least, please don't state something as universally beneficially if its not. i understand why there is such a focus on this considering the history of beauty standards applied to femme folks (and more). however im unlearning those too and now also dealing with new ones as i transition that are far less talked about and i just ask we give some space for fat men, masculine people, butches and more to also create space to deal with these struggles within fat liberation spaces. especially especially especially for fellow folks larger than small fats because the need only grows.

sorry to be mean but it’s like. so wild seeing a story as unique and fun as spiderverse and then seeing the fanbase whittle them down to either gay/racial stereotypes or basic shipping tropes

“hobie would make fun of pavitir for wearing—“ no he would NOT

"We used to be different people. I wonder sometimes if it was ever honest when it came to you. It was with me. I don't recognize this body. Too sharp. Too many edges. How is it you've changed more than me, when my very flesh and bone are no longer mine? Was I ever anything more to you than a means to an end? The means to The End? We have destroyed everything. You have destroyed everything. everything. everything. everything."

"Nothing done is impossible to be undone- you... your whispering will not shake me from my task, VAN."

"I have a name. and you know it. you spoke it with love once. Coward. Coward. Coward. Coward. Coward!"

"Quiet! I need only- I need only to contain the... things you created when-"

"I created nothing, Avis. I simply opened the doors in my desperation to escape. From this. From you. Too many spines, this body is not mine. what have you done. what have you done. what have you done..."
