Introduction

Hi everyone! Our name is Felz ^^ We are a disabled queer indigenous traumagenic system. We are 23 and have a lot of health issues.

We like to draw sometimes and will post our art on our sideblog (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/felzart)

We don’t really have a DNI, in our experience having one doesn’t do much. And we'd rather just block people if they’re being shitty.  For more individual headmate info: https://pronouns.cc/@Felz https://felz-collective.pluralspace.app/

And I love it

Later I realized what Cleo was doing. So this is my first reaction

[specialagentartemis]

my petty gripe about anachronism in historical/fantasy/spec-fic worlds is attraction language.

We’ve all heard the “should you use modern queer labels or not” argument but honestly even when people go “true, they wouldn’t use the labels ‘aromantic’ or ‘asexual,’” so often the characters describe their experiences as “I never felt romantic attraction” or “I don’t feel attracted to anyone” in ways that makes me go. You are stilllllll thinking about this in an extraordinarily modern online way. That 19th century steampunk detective man will NOT be angsting about having never felt romantic attraction, he would be angsting about being unable to feel moved by the beauty or charm of a woman, or something. And I do think that “attractiveness” language is different from the identity-level idea of experiencing attraction—Sherlock Holmes does not talk about not experiencing attraction, but when Watson says “What a very attractive woman!” Holmes responds “Is she? I did not observe.” (And then Watson calls him an inhuman automaton and calculating-machine and Holmes calls Watson’s judgement biased). Never swayed by the attractiveness of a man or woman, never desirous of marriage, never charmed by the delights of love, all of these feel like some of the variety of ways that someone in this milieu might describe an ace- or aro-spectrum identity more than “never felt attraction” does. Mostly because, like the terms for aromantic and asexual themselves, nailing down an exclusively attraction-based definition of a-spec identities is a relatively new and extremely post-AVEN thing. And yet in fiction everybody knows to articulate their experience as feeling sexual/romantic attraction. And I always want to go nooo how would THIS character think about it?? Not how you think this character SHOULD think about it, how would THIS person in THIS context articulate their feelings?

Two-Spirit

Two-Spirit is a term created by Indigenous peoples of North America in 1990 to bring together the diverse gender identities and sexualities that exist within their cultures.

It is not a single gender. Each nation has its own traditions, names, and ways of understanding these experiences.

For many communities, Two-Spirit people held important social, cultural, and spiritual roles before European colonization.

The term should not be used by non-Indigenous people, as it is specifically connected to the cultures and experiences of the Indigenous peoples of North America.

Irawhiti (Māori)

Irawhiti is a Māori-language term used by some people to describe transgender or gender-diverse experiences.

The term is part of the contemporary revitalization of Māori language and culture, allowing Indigenous people to describe their identities through their own cultural frameworks.

Although it may be translated as "transgender" in some contexts, Irawhiti carries meanings connected to Māori cultural realities and should not be understood simply as a copy of Western gender categories. ( Flag design by Irauí on Tumblr. ) @irawhiti

takatāpui (Māori)

Takatāpui is a Māori term used by Indigenous LGBTQIA+ people in New Zealand.

Historically, the word referred to an intimate relationship between people of the same sex.

Today, many Māori people use the term to express both their Indigenous identity and their gender or sexual diversity.

More than a specific sexual orientation or gender identity, Takatāpui connects a person to their culture, ancestry, and community.

The term is part of the Māori cultural revitalization movement and demonstrates that gender and sexual diversity can be understood through Indigenous perspectives, not only through Western categories. ( Flag design by Irauí on Tumblr. ) @irawhiti

Māhū (Kanaka Maōli)

Māhū is a traditional Hawaiian cultural identity associated with people who embody both masculine and feminine qualities.

Historically, māhū people held important roles as educators, keepers of knowledge, healers, and transmitters of cultural traditions.

The arrival of colonization and Christian missions attempted to erase these identities, but many Native Hawaiians continue to preserve and revitalize the māhū identity today.

Māhū is not simply the Hawaiian equivalent of "transgender" or "nonbinary." It is a distinct cultural identity deeply connected to Hawaiian history, culture, and spirituality.

Tibira/ Tybyra

Tibira is a historical figure documented during the colonial period.

According to interpretations by Indigenous researchers and collectives, Tibira may be understood as a man who had relationships with other men, or as a person who lived with a feminine gender identity or expression, challenging the norms imposed by colonizers.

Their story is remembered as an example that gender and sexual diversity already existed among Indigenous peoples long before colonization. ( Made by me )

Çacoaimbeguira

Accounts of the Tupinambá people mention the çacoaimbeguiras.

According to interpretations by Indigenous researchers and collectives, they may be understood as women who had relationships with other women, or as people who lived with a masculine gender identity or expression outside the norms imposed by colonization.

Their existence shows that diverse ways of experiencing gender and sexuality were already part of Indigenous societies long before the imposition of European models. ( Made by me )

[crazycatsiren]

In honor of Disability Pride Month:

I am not "differently abled".

I do not have a "superpower".

I am disabled and I have disabilities, and neither is a bad word.

[insane-cripplepunk]

Hey everyone! Happy Disability Pride month. For disability pride month I'm doing disability sensitivity reading for all of disability pride month (July). I have experience in HSD, DID, Autism, Auditory Processing Disorder, ADHD as well as Bipolar 2 and Anxiety. DM me if you want me to do a sensitivity reading for you!

[vampostingtime]

the fact that I've stumbled into multiple examples of apo vampires cutting moments of her showing compassion from her finale. she tries so hard to act like she's done with everyone here, that she can't care about anything but getting home to cherri

and yet

(apo giving pearl food when she offhandedly mentions starving)

and yet

(apo complimenting doc when he looks like he needs it)

and yet

(apo asking if cleo is alright when they're audibly crying)

and these are just three that I noticed were absent from their pov!

[redstonebug]

I JUST noticed your Afterlife Vampire Scott’s nails and????? Do you have another reference for them? Because they are SO cute

YAAAAY SOMEBODY NOTICED!!! ALSMP!Vampsmajor's nails are one of my favorite details to give him :D

These are my previous art that show his nails a bit. I did also reuse the nail art for a Halloween mothman pngtuber I made for my lovely friend SLEclipse, cause I love it a lot, and that shows the nails a bit too:

And just for you anon I will make a proper reference of it: (Only one hand here cause it's mirrored on each hand)

Very quick rough approximate reference. I'm not a nail art person but hopefully this gets the gist across. ALSMP Vampsmajor is my excuse to give him glittery makeup and fancy nails and I have a lot of fun with it.

At this point I'm genuinely willing to make a deal with satan. So, if you're out there, Scott Goldsmith...

[normal-with-adhd-is-a-joke]

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
