(more info below the cut, tag index is in the tags below)

hey hi hello! i'm calico!!! (nickname variants like cal/callie are alright too!!) (fka: fizzstix, comicat)
bi / genderfluid (any pronouns) / white / 19
i like to draw and play and have fun on the internet :-)))) tho as of right now i am currently only active on tumblr. i also write sometimes and my very abandoned ao3 account can be found here (ignore how random and bad a lot of the stuff on there is i wrote most of it age 15 LMAO.)
i like things! a lot!? if you're on this site you probably like things too and want to see list of some of the things i like the most so here's that:
splatoon, vocaloid (fav producers are jamie paige, nilfruits, 23.exe, hikkieP, flavour foley, namitape, ippo.tsk, maretu, wanopo), undertale/deltarune, persona 5, love bullet, odd taxi, ddlc
^ expect me to be really normal about all of the above ok thanks
i don't really have a dni list because i personally don't see it improving my online experience in any meaningful capacity. but for housekeeping purposes i should mention that i block terfs, proshippers (and pretty much any annoying shipcourse), zionists, bigots and any bad faith discourse on sight. just anyone that i think is an asshole or annoying in a bad way tbh. and i'm also likely to block accounts with no icon/posts/about due to this site's bot problem LMAO sorry. i block relatively freely if i see it fit to. i do try my best to ensure that this account is a safe place, but if i ever do something wrong please don't hesitate to let me know!!
i also overuse tags a lot. you will learn this about me. i am whispering to myself under your post i am too scared to say it out loud but i am a fool with much to say regardless. so bear with
that's pretty much it! hope you're having yourself a good one! :-))))))
“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”
It's June, motherfuckers, and you know what that means! Apart from firing a few rent-lowering shots to filter out the chuds from my following, it's probably also a good time to post a reminder that there are many strange ways to be queer, and this is one of them.
video transcript below the cut, may be slightly inaccurate, I tend to ad-lib when reading my scripts into voiceover
It's Pride Month, so if you'll forgive me I'm taking a two minute break from the One Piece, League of Legends, Marvel Rivals, Final Fantasy and Pokémon shorts to tell you… Sylveon is trans, Taliyah is trans, everyone on the Straw Hats is queer, there are no words to describe how queer superheroes are as a concept let alone how queer they all are individually, and here's a fun fact for you: Cloud Strife's story gets ten times better when you understand it as an allegory for a trans coming out experience.
As for me, well, I'm not trans, but I do occupy my own little space in the rainbow flags which looks like this. I am aromantic.
We are generally not as visible as many of our queer siblings, probably at least partly because it's kind of a difficult identity to even discover in yourself, you basically have to prove a negative.
But what is this thing, "aromantic"? Well… okay, let's say you're a straight guy, right. You know the way you feel romantically about other men? I feel exactly the same way, and then I also feel that way about women, and then also the same way about all of the other genders.
Now, aromantic often goes along with asexual, there's a lot of co-occurrence of the two, but not always, and that is my situation. Yes to sex, no to romance, which being a man, yes, I know, that just makes me the same as 90% of the men you match on Hinge. "Ha ha ha didn't realize "fuccboi" was an orientation now," I know. I get it. I understand. I have had all the same thoughts myself, especially when I was questioning.
Which is the difficulty with being aromantic, because in order to figure out that that's what you are, you have to prove a negative. I have never been in love, and I have no reason to think I ever will be… but what if someday I meet The One??? What if there's a special divinely designated perfect soulmate out there, just waiting for me, and one day our eyes will meet across the room and it will be love at first sight forever?
And like. I can't prove that won't happen, anymore than I can prove that there isn't a flowery pink teapot currently hiding somewhere in the orbit of Saturn. And frankly, if it did happen, I wouldn't be mad. Why would I be? I would have a soulmate! That's a pretty big W, I think.
But… I've had over thirty years to encounter someone—anyone—who can spark my romantic interest, and thus far, every challenger of every gender has failed. So either I am aromantic, or else you people have a skill issue.
Anyway, like anything to do with queerness, aromantic is a sprawling and diverse spectrum. You got your aroaces, aroallos, aroflux, arospikes, demiromantics, frayromantics, grayromantics, cupioromantics, there's a whole world of different experiences present under this umbrella. For me, though, just "aromantic" is fine. That's the broad label, that's the one I fall under, that's the identity I take pride in. Happy June!
now that its pride month i need everyone to know that if we have more bullshit discourse about bisexual women this year im going to blow things up with my mind
honestly i think the reason why it’s so common for kids to have the “it’s not a phase, mom” argument in their adolescence is less because they genuinely plan for their current state of being to remain utterly unchanged forever and more because they’re tired of having their interests/self expression/beliefs/etc dismissed as foolish due to being probably temporary
i know that when i was that age i certainly wasn’t thinking about whether or not i’d be into whatever shit i was into then when i was 80, all i knew was that i was sick of feeling like the adults in my life were just rolling their eyes and waiting out everything that was important to me at that moment
💚 Artists and titles will be revealed after the poll closes, so check back for results! Until then, please don't mention the song title in reblogs! (Guesses about everything else are fine and encouraged though; have fun!) 💚
