ahhh polls are available this is so exciting i have many questions i am so curious! okay, the first thing i am curious about - please only answer if you are following me, i'm wondering what my followers demographics are. okay thank you everyone :^)

ok thanks loveya bye

#not farmer lesbian content #polls #i am curious about the demographics #i appreciate that this is quick n easy #i did do a followers survey a couple years back in 2019 #maybe i'll do another since it's been a while and lots of new followers #then i can format the questions however i want and let people just type in their responses which gives some super interesting data! #they only let me do 10 options for you and polls rn only allow one answer and you can't change it #so pick the one that you primarily identify with if you had to pick one #obviously a lot of us might id as a couple of these so just pick like the one that's the main one you ID as #i'd like to put wlw and sapphic as options too but then i'd have to remove 2 other options and i dont wanna #i'm curious how many people id as those as their like primary orientation identity label term #tumblr give me more options pls

“Din Djarin’s identity as a Mandalorian will always be central to his character, and his devotion to his orthodox religion, warrior’s creed, and its chivalrous code of honor is a truly noble one.”

and

“Din Djarin’s devotion to his creed has fundamentally isolated him from love, his role as The Tribe’s breadwinner was as unsustainable as it gave him purpose, and the fierceness of his faith stems from unprocessed trauma and the guilt he feels as an orphan and a foundling. His views on what it means to be a Mandalorian were narrow until he met others who didn’t conform to his own creed, and in this, his status as an voluntary oathbreaker is equally as integral to his character.”

…are both takes that co-exist in my mind.

#Star Wars #the mandalorian #din djarin #character analysis #sol rambles #obligatory this is not meant to be a hot take and nobody has to agree with me on this #2nd obligatory I can interpret this character however I want to within reasonable limits #and as a person from a religious background who now identifies as agnostic #I find this more than reasonable #I honestly love entertaining the idea of Din renouncing his orthodoxy as much as I loved his redemption #Din’s relationship with his faith in S2 was so realistically messy #and it resonated with me greatly #the “is it truly faith if people just get to pick and choose what to adhere to and what to disregard?” #“wtf does that make me?” #people do turn to religion after deep personal loss #and it can be a beautiful thing as much as it can be dangerous #faith can consume you to the point where you can no longer recognize yourself without it #and I saw Din being well on that path if Grogu hadn’t come along #transcending religious identities is such a juicy motif in Star Wars #all starting with Luke declaring he’s a Jedi like his father before him #while also fiercely defying both his masters by refusing to sacrifice Han and Leia in order to complete his training #the training Yoda dictated for him #literally the embodiment of The Old Order #and what’s that saying? #none will be free until the old ways are gone forever #oh my god I am rambling #THANK YOU FOR LISTENING #Sol out

way back when they'd first announced the lovestruck marle and sharp-suited squares quest alts, I was possessed and drew these in about a day and a half. and then I immediately went to get them made as double-sided acrylic charms- so side a is classic marle and squares, and then side b is dark marle and squares's 7* uncap because why the hell not? anyway they finally arrived and I could not be more stoked aren't they so cute.

#puyo puyo #my stuff #marle #squares #yes marle did give squares the salty chocolates in side b lmao. i thought of the idea and couldnt pass it up #also fun fact: if you look really closely the yellow heart above marle in side a wasn’t fully whited out in the back #you can see the outline of the blue heart from side b clearly but you have to look super close to see the rest of side a's yellow #when they sent these to me for proofing i didnt pick up on that at all since the proof was on a white background #but live and let lie or however that goes #its still super cool to have anyway lmao. itll replace my previous personal art charm on my bag #and i cant wait to field the exactly zero questions ill get about it bc who's gonna be trying to identify the dudes on my bag lmao

[whitehairedanimeboyfriend]

Maybe this is controversial but I feel like I, as a trans man, have very little in common with cis women or trans women. I have the most in common with cis men. And if that makes you violently recoil for some reason maybe you need to do some soul searching about it.

#transandrophobia #twice today i saw posts on my feel comparing trans men to women in some way or another #you can self identify however you want but stop lumping all of us in with women

Doctor Mary Joy has seen many patients over the years. She hides it well; while it may not seem like she has a specialty (and certainly, it's not one she advertises), Mary focuses on Protagonists. People who have found themselves outside their canon, in stories that allow them to fully acknowledge the horrible things canon did to them, the traumas they experienced. Fanfiction is often not so kind as canon, and has a tendency to dig into these Protagonist's heads; Mary tries to be there for them, to help them adapt to a more realistic world than they are used to- even if they don't know that's what she's doing.

I realize I think a lot about my life in terms of “maybe when I’m a boy…” my brother in christ. maybe you are an EGG

#idk. idk! #I’m not a Man. but I do resonate with Boyhood a lot #that’s the thing #I’m still nonbinary either way #but like. what kind of nonbinary. that is the question #and more and more it feels like Boy Nonbinary #but idk what to do about that. you’d think I would after like four years of being out to people #but I don’t. like what else can I change. I’ve already got the pronouns #I think I’m like… More Trans than I give myself credit for #(that’s a joke you can identify as trans however you want) #but my ocd brain is always like well you’re not trans you didn’t trans anything #which is not true but I mean it like. if I had the chance would I? #I might. but at the moment I don’t have the chance #so I’m just. confused #constantly #it’s exhausting #I don’t feel comfortable for the most part #also intrusive thoughts go brr right now I’m trying to Think #whatever tag ramble over #gender #mine

[coquelicoq]

I don't know if it's rude to ask, so apologies in advance if I sound mean, but… how come you repeatedly bring up old posts of yours from three or more years ago? Do you remember each original post you make and intentionally bring them back? Like, I don't think there's anything wrong, your blog can be whatever you want, obviously, and your stuff is always funny or curious in some way, just… I'm kind of lost as of how it came to be, I guess? I don't think I remember my own posts after 6 months, much least if I have to go back to 2020!

ahaha no it's usually just because i'm going back through a tag looking for something else! i recently went back through my entire "my posts" tag (which contains...1468 posts, dear lord) and while i was doing that saw several posts that i felt like reblogging for whatever reason. so it's usually not that i remember them and go looking for them on purpose, it's that i come across them incidentally in the course of doing something else.

if you want to know why i reblog them after coming across them, 1) usually i don't! you are seeing the tip of the iceberg lol, and 2) it's mostly because it's hard to resist the "sooo true, bestie" urge, even when the bestie is just...yourself.

#sometimes...things that are written by me...are things i agree with #but oftentimes they are not once a few years have passed lol. i mean i just looked at 1468 posts by yours truly #and queued probably 1% of them #oh i also went through my asks tag which was another 500 or so posts #if you want to know why i'm putting myself through this it's for a really ridiculous reason #namely: several nights ago i had insomnia brought on by (get this) being too excited to sleep because my brain wouldn't stop #coming up with crosslinguistic french/english puns #and a couple of them in particular i was like oh god this would be a great tumblr username! #however as i've said before i had no plans to ever change my username (even though i don't like it) #because doing so would break any links that contain my current username #i had resigned myself to just living with this username forever. but once i thought of some usernames i actually like #it became harder to resist the urge to change it... #so now i have this convoluted plan to try to identify and tag as many of the links as i can #so that after i switch names i can go back and fix the links #however i'm not sure how feasible this is. there are a lot of links #and no matter what i do short of going through all 45k posts on this blog i will be bound to miss some of them anyway #(i think getting a domain would solve this problem but i don't wanna get a domain bc i'd have to give wordpress my legal name) #indecisive superhero meme w the buttons 'the need to have punny username' vs. 'the need to be able to find things on my blog' #asks #anon #actually anon probably the majority of the time i rb something i wrote 3 years ago it's bc i forgot about it #i come across it and am like oh yeah! this! and it's like a brand new discovery so i put it back on the dash lol #anyway thanks for your ask! i got a kick out of it 😂

[nowendil]

been thinking a lot about womanhood lately

#like. i don't exactly identify as being a woman. in contrast i do have a strong nonbinary/muunsukupuolinen identity #yet i do feel and acknowledge that in most contexts i AM a woman #not only because that's what most of the world sees me as but that's also consecuently how i move through the world #there is no one set way for women to experoence the world but i do feel like my experience is one of those. because i am gendered as a woman #it used to make me uncomfortable and dysphoric and i'm not saying that now it never does #but i have made my peace with it? like. i feel like i have “let womanhood in” as a part of my identity #and i have also realized that it's not actually being seen as a woman that makes me uncomfortable but being seen SOLELY as a woman #like my friends calling me a woman or my partner calling me their girlfriend doesnt sting usually #because i know they also see the other parts of my gender identity #but when a coworker refers to me with she/her or includes me in “ladies” it stings. because i know that's all they see #like YES i can be a woman. if you acknowledge that i am a bit of a weird woman. #i can be a woman if you acknowledge that i am a gnc woman. a bisexual woman. a queer woman. a woman who is sometimes bit of a man. #if you see and acknowledge that we can talk #however i am NOT a nonbinary woman. i am nonbinary AND a woman. which to some people is the same thing #but to me it's an important distinction. being nonbinary and being a woman are both parts of my gender identity but in very different ways #and very distinctively. lumping them together as equal parts of my identity as i feel the term “nonbinary woman” does doesn't describe me #i am enthusiastically nonbinary. i am begrudgingly a woman. i'm a woman with a long footnote explanation. woman¹ #“nonbinary woman” also doesnt feel like it accommodates the way i relate to manhood or boyhood. but that's a whole another tedtalk #i'm not a man but i like how it looks. and i'm not a man i'm just borrowing parts of it for genderfuckery reasons #idk how to explain it in english... #in finnish i would say that en oo mies mut joskus lainaan tai iahn vaa ihailen asioita mieheyden kuvastosta. #but because in social situations and In Our Society That We Live In you mostly can just choose one gender and it's either man or a woman #thennout of those i would rather be a woman. legally. with strangers. you know. not a woman but kind of yes because i relate to other women #if i could be seen only as nonbinary i would. but then again my nonbinaryness does encompass some parts of both womanhood and manhood. #so i guess people would have trouble seeing it as “only nonbinsry” #idk man. it's complicated and also changes emphasis multiple times a year #ask me again a month from now and the gender landscape will be interpreted completely differently #gender #nowe talks

[feral-radfem]

Hey if you're a non-radfem and you want to make a complaint that radical feminist critique keeps getting applied to you because you hang around radical feminist spaces here is my advice: leave.

Honestly, I'm so tired of seeing this shit. Go find some other places to hang out. I don't care that you came here because everyone else kicked you out for being a "transphobe". That does not make it our responsibility to soften our movement and our criticisms so that you feel comfortable in a movement you have no intention of of committing to. You are welcome here on the basis of being a woman, however, if you can't handle the feminist action that goes on in these spaces, then you need to leave. That is a you problem, not ours. I'm tired of hearing y'all whine that we don't coddle you enough and then adding anecdotal evidence of feminist harm or strawmen arguments for why you're justified in doing patriarchal actions were other women are not. There is not a single identifier or life experience you can tell me that is going to make me think that you deserve to be exempt from the same criticisms I would level at any other woman. If you're an adult, you should be mature enough to hear them. If you are not mature enough to hear feminist critique, you need to leave feminist spaces.

if you want to be self-serving, it is completely your right to do so. I've heard a number of you in passing claim that you "don't want to be feminist, you want to be people". Which, while that's an insulting sentiment as a feminist, just demonstrates that the only person y'all care about is yourself. You see being a person as inherently being self-serving and self-centered. First and foremost, it's all about you. That level of selfishness is pathetic and frowned upon in collective spaces. Feminism being one of them.

Just save us all the headache and go away. Y'all are one of the only groups of people on the internet who are able to piss me off in seconds, istg.

#lily responds #literally any of you who do not have a vested interest in the liberation of women refuse to do feminist action and #then still feel entitled to control how these space is function #f*** off. we have enough trouble holding spaces where we can have these discussions because we are feminist in the first place #we don't need a bunch of non-feminist women coming in and telling us that we are hurting their feelings and they #want us to do something about it. we're not doing s*** about it. #if you can't handle the fact that the things you're doing harm other women then stop f****** doing them #don't get mad at us because we're pointing out the damage you're doing and the damage in the messages you're helping perpetuate #you can log off and go experience all the spaces in the world that aren't made specifically for radical feminism #y'all hear that we're here to serve women in the effort to liberate all women and think that means we're here to serve you personally #I may be responding directly to a person regarding this soon but I'm so irritated I can't edit my post at the moment #I will make it clear here that I don't think every woman of the groups I just listed is doing this at all #I think it's a minority however I'm tired of these minority group of women using these identifiers to justify being a shit feminist #or justify why they don't have to be a feminist but should still have all the entitlement to the feminist spaces we create to talk about #our movement. these are feminist spaces first women's spaces secondary #I don't even know how to tag this because the specific people I want to reach is you fucking entitled ass orbiters #you who take advantage of the fact that we are welcoming to any woman to be divisive in our movement when you don't wish to be an activist #in the first place. or you want to claim the title alone and do good action but get us to stop criticizing ur anti-feminist actions #there's clearly enough of you that y'all can create your own gender critical non-feminist spaces. just leave us the f*** #alone. #also when you use being gay as a justification for why you shouldn't have to be a feminist you make all us lesbian feminist look bad #there are plenty of feminists who recognized that we are women and therefore benefit from women's liberation #y'all are so f****** annoying #some of my tags may not make sense because I just listed just about every group of women there is realized I listed every group of women #and then erased it because I realized that was a lot of words for no reason so those are the identifiers I'm talking about in my tags

so ig butch is synonymous to trans men to ya'll now huh

#welp looks like its time to hit the ol dusty trail #i dont identify as butch and i will eat you if you force that label on to me owo🔪 #you fellow trans man reading this who id's as butch: good for you! im happy for you! I however dont identify that way #and i dont think the label 'butch' should be seen as an alternative to 'trans men'. #please hows about you dont force an identity on to me that cis society has tried to. an identity i dont want nor that i identify #with in any capacity 😌 #oh how unique of you to force an identity on to me that cis people want to force on me 😌😌😌😌😌 totally original #heres an idea: let trans men decide for themselves how they want to identify motherfucker! #maybe the reason yall dont think 'infantalization' is a big deal is bc yall do it too and hate ever seeing urself as doing something wrong #i can choose my own identity fucker. i dont need your help nor did i fucking ask. get the fuck out of my way before i cut you

i love that the information on hera's servers is just something she (mostly) has access to and it isn't inherently part of her or necessarily something she knows, exactly - that she has to actively read the books available to her, that she doesn't commit all of the information she processes to memory, that her memory is fallible and influenced by her own biases, etc. because it means sometimes eiffel is like, wow, hera!! you're so smart; you know everything!! and meanwhile she's doing the equivalent of like, googling stuff really fast.

#wolf 359 #w359 #hera wolf 359 #the show can be kind of inconsistent and/or vague about what information hera has access to #like. all three of these examples are music related i'm realizing: #she's able to find information about janis joplin #she's able to identify bach #and she references anarchy in the uk back at eiffel #all of those examples are from at least early-ish episodes however #if hera had access to music the way she has access to writing #that feels like it would have to come up. so the only other reasonable explanation #is that all of those things happen to be referenced in files she's able to search #which seems reasonable i guess? that there might be biographies or books on the history of music or books containing sheet music #though i think re: classical music it's possible she could've been introduced to it pre-hephaestus #there's not really much we know about that either like. what information goddard gives their AIs or what tests are run on them. exactly #all of which is just. something to think about. #anyway hera IS smart but that's about her as a person and how she processes information #not the information itself #i still kinda love the idea that the way she navigates her directories #would get a 'you do WHAT??' type reaction if she ever talked about it with another AI #oh also there's something to say about hera's servers vs. the information recall the dear listeners gave eiffel #like i kinda wish they could've talked about that i think it would've helped him understand her situation better

[ottiliere]

after just finishing up a week in the hospital all I can say is thank you. thinking about hospital dirk and doodling him whenever I got the chance helped me hang in there this past week

every ask I get asks like these it blows my mind... I kind of just make stuff I like and post it and I don't think words can really express how glad I am that my own self-fulfilling art projects are having such a positive impact on others. it really is the world to me I can't describe it. I think life is about being real and open and truthful to your creative visions and desires and I think it is about making art that comes from your heart and soul and depcits your passions and the things you care about and for me this is all of this. i rarely hit art blocks i do not get bored because I have this fundamental moral imperative and drive to depict these topics as accurately as possible, even if i don’t share my creations with the world, because I didn’t for a very very very long time, not out of shame or embarrassment or fear of repercussions but merely my own mental health issues preventing me from having any sort of public online presence. it’s very nice to see. I appreciate all of you very dearly and I hope you are loving and healing and living your best life, or if not, you are on your way there.

#ask #I am not surprised however that people are viewing hospital dirk as a very unwell individual and using him as a basis for self-reflection #to identify their own traits that are acting as a hindrance to healing. because that is what he is #he is the effigy of antirecovery. not intentionally on his part. but thats how he has learned to cope #and i think this is very realistic for a lot of people #someitmes you walk through life and do not recognize that the things you have done for a very long time to protect yourself #are now what is impeding your ability to positively function #i say i am not surprised because I love and believe in humanity and I have faith that you can view him as the epitome of unwellness #also #I have not been answering a lot of asks lately because these last 2-3 weeks have been...something.... but i'm finally normal now so #hi everyone #there are so many wonderful asks I need to address. jthm anon I AM coming for you. but it might take a very long time #same with daves anon. one of the best asks I've ever gotten the answer needs to be perfect and illustrated Ipromise you #even though it's already been 2 weeks. you will get an answer

[sadaveniren]

Don’t you love when the answer to the discourse of the day is that BOTH sides are right and BOTH sides are valid and that it makes perfect sense for BOTH to exist at the same time?

Yeah nuance sucks for internet arguments. 🙃

#yes closeted people should be allowed to to interact with queer spaces without having to come out #and yes out people who have risked a lot to be out should be allowed to be annoyed when people they don’t know identify as gay insert #themselves into queer spaces #both can exist #there IS risk with coming out #which is why closeted people are valid #no one should be forced to come out and no one should feel they have to come out #HOWEVER because coming out is a RISK to your career - to your life - you DO get certain privileges that come with it #(I loathe to use the word privilege here but let’s just go with it) #being out means you are allowed to have MORE say than an ally #I know that stings to hear but again BEING OUT IS A RISK #you CANNOT be closeted and expect to have all the perks of being queer with none of the downsides #I’m sorry if that sounds shitty and unfair and whatever but thats…that’s how it is #in actual queer spaces #with actual queer people #in a lot of queer spaces we are aware allys are probably closeted people #but ally’s (closeted people) are still meant to make way for openly queer voices #BOTH CAN EXIST #BOTH ARE CORRECT! #and arguing about this kind of thing is just… exhausting because everyone is right #anyway clearly HSHQ is run by straight people because they couldn’t see this coming #when every queer person in fandom has seen this as a problem since 2017 #okay back to work
