#then its the *body* that isnt a person

[rebellum]

Full on saying "sex based oppression isn't real, that's a radfem talking point" seems like way too much to me. Like, it IS real. Every single person who was assigned female at birth, or who is considered to be female bodied in any way (so, including eg trans fems who may be considered female bodied due to surgery, intersex people who were maybe assigned as female later on in life), is oppressed because of that. That's an inarguable fact.

But that doesn't mean every single person who was assigned male at birth oppresses every single person assigned female at birth through the axis of sex. Like, obviously trans people who were amab don't have more social privilege as a group than cis gender conforming women.

Both things can be true at once.

#im tired so im not putting this comparison in the body of the text in case it doesnt make sense #but its like skin colour? #in that around the world people with light skin tones are treated better #there is colourism within every race ethnicity country etc #but acting like that means a light skinned east asian person or a white-passing Indigenous person isnt oppressed on the basis of race + ethn #ethnicity would be laughable

oh so you wanna fuck that monster huh. make sexy art of them without giving them muscles and/or making them look human

#spacie spoinks #this doesnt apply 2 monsters that are already humanoid #also its just a personal thing but muscles on male characters largely turn me off #hjdfkjsdf LIKE WHY IS STILL THE ONLY 'SEXY' MALE FORM IN FANDOM MUSCULAR AND/OR SKINNY #IM SOOO TIRED #yall be giving muscles 2 muh fuckers who DO NOT NEED THEM SHITS #IF YOU NEED 2 HUMANIZE A MONSTER IN ORDER 2 FUCK IT..............YOU AINT A MONSTERFUCKER DAWG................ #''wow this character is really sexy 2 me b/c of how human it looks now!!'' #you'll see the original design be some hulking beast who's shape isnt humanoid in the slightest and then some guy #will come along and be like ''hahaha yeah i wanna fuck this thing'' and then take the characters head and put it on a muscular human body #what is the point dawg. #this can also apply 2 robots #i dont caaareee if you have a humanoid design for 'x' robot/monster character #the problem is when you just. take a stereotypically attractive human body slap the character's head on here and then go crazy over that #and like the original character design does nothing for you. #dude. you dont want 2 fuck these characters you want 2 fuck a human wearing an object/animal head 😭 #true monster/robotfuckers want that thang in its canon form. you cant ride w/us if you're like that dawg #dont mind me this is just a pet peeve i have #its even worse when its female characters oh my godddd #these muh fuckers dont want 2 fuck monsters they wanna fuck a human woman cosplaying as one #good LORD

sorry not to be negative or anything i think a lot of the jokes about maria dying are funny but am i the only one who thinks that its taking it a liiiittle too far to flood the comments of the live action actors posts with stuff about how shes gonna get shot or you cant wait to see her die (and yes this is actually happening im not making up a guy to get mad at)

#i KNOW its in reference to the character not the actor in real life but its still weird? #like even if youre talking about the character youre still directing it at a real person. who is also a child . which just makes it worse #i feel like if i was in her position id be a bit freaked out #especially if i didnt know much about sonic and how important/iconic maria dying is #like the top comment on her isntagram post confirming her role is just ''LMAO SHES IN A BODY BAG '' #and theres a bunch of other jokes under that about her dying. most of the comments section is just jokes about her dying actually #with a few people congratulating her and stuff but mostly jokes about her dying .... its weird #and about waht she was wearing maybe she Was making a joke there #but i feel like its just as likely that she was on set in costume at the time #and isnt allowed to show what maria looks like yet and thats why she had her face and body covered #theres not really anything wrong with these jokes on their own but why are hundreds if not thousands of people #insistent on making sure the actor herself knows how much you wanna see her die . its so weird

#this isnt vent dw!!! i dont smoke either i was just kinda going for some sort of vibe #i know its usually played for laughs or like. dark humor whenever ppl draw mascots without their heads and u can see the actor #but i always found it fascinating and a little sobering. ever since i was a kid ive always been hyperaware of ppl in costumes #like. even if i tried to block it out id be thinking the whole time 'its not real. theres a person in that suit who gets paid to do this' #it used to be an uncomfortable nagging feeling but now its like. oh yeah theres someone with a whole life story doing this. idk #i think when i tell ppl im not conscious of my body its like. im not dysphoric or experience dissociation but. at the same time #it feels like my physical body doesnt fully outwardly represent me..?? like some sort of costume #i like to phrase it as being a giant hairless mecha and inside theres a very tiny puppy piloting the damn thing #and the other thing is. when i draw my sona i dont really see it as what i /wish/ i looked like or how i want people to see me #its like being in a costume and just. fucking around with some sort of barrier between myself and others #plus mascots arent allowed to talk and i dont really. engage with other ppl in public spaces that it kinda feels like ad lib #i share a lot abt my life but ironically im also a private person..... i guess it just gives me some sort of control over my identity #my art #myart #my oc #sona #mascot #furry #??? is this furry art???? #twinkle #puppysona #edit: had to outline it bc i just realized it looks really weird on dark mode -_-

I am really tired of a situation rn.

#fe three houses #felix hugo fraldarius #me using felix on my angy days because he is my angersona? you bet! #anyway if you want to try to get someones money or something bc you hurt your own car banging into mine #can you try to be a bit more timely with it buddy come on you hit me on feb29 ! #why am i getting your insurance company calling me today ! #also i would like to point out i didnt do it and neither of us were hurt and i filed a claim with my own insurance comp #and also filed a police report bc he didnt even suggest calling the cops to the scene #so like yeah hey man maybe you and your insurance company can move a lil faster or smth #literally everything that happened the day of is - according to my dad - an intimidation tactic #i look like im 15 and he probably thinks he can take advantage of a new driver but ya know! tough luck! #im just really tired and stressed over multiple things not negative so getting this on top of it was like #bro .................... anyway my phone didnt pick up for some reason so i called back and then nothing got resolved #cause the person who actually called me wasnt around to connect the line to from the guy who answered #idk man just its a lot despite my v minimal energy #got a job interview on monday tho ! and then also next week is an eye exam #and you might be thinking isnt that a good thing to get your eyes checked? you are correct but i am horrified #there are two body parts that give me absolute anxiety and eyes are one of them #and i know my eye sight is declining and im just v anxious #its fine im going to be fine i just have to be anxious about it

ok actually one of my least favorite things about this whole watcher fiasco has been seeing people try to figure out what steven shane and ryans "true" thoughts are based on like.... their body language or whatever.

please god make it stop. u are not a body language expert. no one is. because its bullshit.

#watcher #ppl just coming up with entire stories based on like the way theyre sitting #or the way their faces look and whatever #just... shut up!! shut up shut up shut up!!! #that shit is stupid and dumb!!! #to make it clearer: 'body language analysis' is bullshit and anyone claiming to be a 'body language expert' is a fraud #that shit just isnt real. you can not accurately deduce what a person 'truly' feels by obsessing over their body language #its just a bunch of pseudoscience

#personal #just finished chlorine by jade song.

rennala marika toxic yuri i cant get you out of my head

#long rant incoming #it is very much implied that marika and radagom are their own people/personalities. theyre just stuck in the same body #i am of the belief that radagon was created or manifested after marika ascended to godhood #as his presence is mysterious and miriel was actively confused as to why just. some guy. some champion would have so much control over an- #-army (referring to the caria/erdtree war) #i think its fascinating to think radagon and marika are the same person. not just in the literal inhabitance of the body. like two- #-different sides of a person #but the lore very much leans towards them having their own conscience #as much as i like the former idea #BUT the description of the preceptors hat/mask has implications that rennala possibly knew of this secret #because what other secret does radagon have to hide? #and like. she stayed with him despite this. #(sorry for the amount of this i said imply/implication) #there is not much material to go off of for marika/renalla but its not like there isnt ANY #toxic yuri...... #i once talked about an interesting parallel between them but i literally have to fresh myself up on that #as i dont think about them very often #edit: oh fuck me dead i forgot to tag spoiler #elden ring spoilers

fully supportive of cass learning sign language and the fanon that she uses it more than spoken language but also. so many of you act as if its a lesser version of communication and she'll automatically be a pro/not struggle with it. its still a complex language that has structure, grammar, vocabulary and syntax. theres so many different factors for it, even within just one region - different signing styles, dialects, slang, as well as actual variations (asl, pse, see)

just because you rely on verbal communication doesnt mean nonverbal or alternative versions of communication is a lesser version than your normal

sign language, writing, variant types of aac devices and resources. its all methods of communication. it all deserves to be treated with the respect and regard that vocal languages are treated with

#if i see one more person thinking asl is just baby sign language #yes you can use gestures to convey a thought ! it doesn't mean you're speaking a language! #you wouldn't say youre fluent in fucking french because you know how to ask for the restroom. you wouldn't say you know german because you #know ich liebe dich. you wouldn't say you know spanish because you said gracias instead of thank you #cass gesturing with her hand that someone was a blabbermouth or pointing to jasons heart isnt evidence she knows a complex #and rich language. its treating people that use it as a lesser version of your normality and its ableist. #absolutely make her learn it ! but its a language that takes time to learn and be effective for communication. body language #is her first language. not english. not eventually asl. she'll struggle with sign just as much as a verbal language. #the d in dcu is for disabled #cassandra cain #posts from the crypt

sorry for complaining about people getting fleetway super sonic wrong again but i dont really get the personality people give him thats like . silly goofy trickster type villain whos super manipulative and calculated and likes playing mind games and stuff . because from what i remember he was not doing much of that he just liked biting and scratching and killing and does it very impulsively also

#LIKE the big dramatic moment of him attacking sonic's friends and causing a bunch of damage #was literally caused by him thinking Hmm i think i will kill amy today. and then rushing to do it without a second thought #like this guy is NOT an evil mastermind he just takes over sonic's body and then beats up the first person he sees/thinks of #well i know the reason people get him wrong its because only like 5 people have actually read fleetway sonic #and the sonic fandom also kinda has a pattern of wanting sonic to have a messed up evil dark side #and taking the vague concept of either fleetway super sonic or dark sonic or werehog sonic #and making them into their ideal version of the sonics evil dark side concept even if it doesnt entirely fit #(could go on forever about how people do that with werehog . but this isnt about him. for once.) #fleetway super is probably the closest to what people want out of that sort of thing #but again theres still the issue of a lot of fan content involving him being made by people who have never read the comic hes from #and not really knowing what theyre talking about because of that

The fact that I am being driven crazy by the strange obsession a lot of tma Tumblr users have with a wrong interpretation of Michael Distortion is actually so Distortion coded it's kinda funny

#hes not neon fun quirky boy #its a manipulator gaslighter who seeks out only to make jon and co more and more angry and confused and driven to mistakes. #its only distorted in a way to make you question your sanity. and not in a colorful way #im ranting and i feel the full influence of its gleeful sadism on my mind lol #all tumblr depicts him as is basically onceler 2.0 with a rainbow blond twist and whaaaaa #tumblr be tumblr i guess 😆😆😆 #also imma rant about how hes shipped with gerry when he was working with his dad. this isnt to negate the ship yall are perfectly valid! #i just personally dont like it. i do like eric and michael ships tho. those have a fun dynamic #i live michael shelley and feel awful for him #but tumblr done the distortion dirty :') #i go mainly for body horror distortions that emody the feel of insanity incarnate #rather than the neon rainbow ones #unless they manage to convey the feel as well #end of rant #discourse #also MORE DISTORTION HELEN!! BUT ALSO NOT IN A RAINBOW WAY BUT A HORROR SHE SMILES WAY TOO MUCH WHATS SHE HIDING WAYYYY

something ive noticed in certain spaces is aspiring bears who are beginning to call themselves fat and chubby when theyre still very much thin bodied. and i have to preface this by stressing that i support them in their journey, i was in that exact position once, i have nothing but joy and support for them, BUT. there is a responsibility to be had, i think, in what u start calling fat and chubby. u are coming from a beautiful point of view with really great and positive intentions in mind, but if u are not fat and u keep calling urself that, it does not look any different in peoples minds to calling any other average thin body fat. its okay to be excited about getting more meat on ur bones and celebrating it! its okay to acknowledge that u arent scrawny and bony and a size small to medium! but please be mindful of what kinds of bodies u are calling fat, even if its ur own and even if its in a positive light

#kitty purrs #fat tag #this isnt perfectly articulated but i hope everyone understands what im saying #ive seen it come up lately so its been on my mind #and it keeps striking me in a very strange way #because im nothing but excited for them! #but it just kind of rubs me the wrong way #it feels like a strange example of how absolutely skewed society #s views on body size are #that a thin person believes theyre fat because they have enough meat to not be bony #and the thing is im talking from personal experience #i was that exact aspiring bear. i was average i was not fat. i was calling myself fat #because i believed i was for not being stick thin #even though calling myself that was with joy and not hate

anyway another thing i love about mpw upon the endless list of things i love about this show is that there is so very clearly a d/s vibe/relationship going on between segasaki and yoh, and its so clearly explicitly in your face there staring at you, and yet its also so subtle at the same time in the way its shown, in the dialogues used, in the way segasaki and yoh act. like it'll come out full force for a moment, and then in the next, it'll just soften away. its just done in a really really sexy tasteful way.

#its #yeah. its done in such a classy way. #faiza talks #my personal weatherman #it helps in how they show segasaki as not this Perfect Done Up Dom. he has flaws. gets nervous! isnt afraid to show that he DOES get hurt! #and yoh is a BRAT. and wont SAY what he wants but USES HIS BODY to show what he wants. he isnt obedient all the time and talks back. #even tho there IS this innocence to him he IS NOT innocent. #the characterisations are just. done SOOOO well man.

I always thought it was so odd that in Steven Universe they have a whole episode where Steven like projected himself into Lars' body and then him being able to do that was never mentioned again

#ok well thats not ENTIRELY true bc he did project himself into the watermelon Stevens but im pretty sure that was explained as them just #having a connection bc he magic spitted them to life and not because hes just able to astral project himself into other peoples' bodies #also thats just like a ridiculously overpowered ability to have. none of the other gems can do that its just Steven #except white diamond but i dont think that's the same #because she can control herself and other people at the same time #but they have to do everything shes doing and she cant really make them act individually #and Steven can only control one person and he has to fully leave his body #but his body isnt doing the same thing as him #anyways but why wasnt he able to use it to possess humans again? like maybe it was against his morals but like #wouldnt it have been so much easier to just possess someone in Beach City to tell his dad and the gems what was going on instead of #going through the stress of possessing a million watermelon Stevens? #if he cant control possessing people thats fine but i still think they should have mentioned it again #sorry for SU posting i just thought about it for the first time in a while and i remembered that that had always confused me

i havent drawn in so long im scared i forgot how

#im sure i can do it ive just been so drained lately. im so sad. theres something wrong with me that even though today was a good day i still #feel like crying. i still feel so lonely and empty inside. and my body wont stop hurting!!!!!!! #even worse when i realize that this isnt even a recent development when i go and look back at all my stuff from long ago i was still the #same sad person. i havent changed since i was 13 #gotten worse maybe. #its definitely bc i have a test tmrw. but idk i kind of feel like this every single day
