Adding Stuff Here So People Dont Think Im A Bot

Obligatory Intro Post

Hello! Welcome to my blog.

I actually had an old account on here that unfortunately got shadowbanned and Tumblr support wasn't doing too much to help on that front. So this is my new blog!

My PFP was drawn by me. I am not heavily in the MLP fandom, I just like ponies.

The header image was created by a tumblr that I, unfortunately, can no longer find the account of, nor do I know their name. The header is now an image from Pokemon Ultra Moon. I can’t believe I forgot to update this with that information.

My fursona, by the way:

Drawn by MadakoTako on Etsy!

Reblogging so I can have this intro post here.

[crushed-sugar]

Special shoutout to all the queer, intersex, and trans het folks. Sorry for all the “it’s illegal to be straight this month” jokes you’ll have to endure. Y’all are still very much part of the community.

[bigboywitch]

what does "trans het" mean?

@willisiam-woodiam

[crushed-sugar]

A transgender being who is heterosexual, or straight. For example, a trans man who likes women might identify as straight. A trans man who likes men might also identify as straight as well—some trans folks experience attraction in this way. The same is true for trans women, nonbinary folks, genderfluid folks…. Anyone who identifies as both trans and straight or heterosexual in some way.

Hopefully that cleared it up.

My skin fucking itches and burns

[crushed-sugar]

I got zero sleep last night lol

My Pokemon hyperfixation has come back full force and I am this close to running into a mutuals ask box to rant at them about it and the fanfic I’m trying to write.

I’m too awkward though.

[crushed-sugar]

I need someone to write Pokemon fanfic with…

[pinkfire-chacarera]

fuck it it's illegal to be cis this month. at least get a little non binary with it or you're banned.

[crushed-sugar]

Did you read my post? Like at all?

It’s not any different to replace “it’s illegal to be straight” with “it’s illegal to be cis.” There is no specific identity you have to be to count this month.

And besides, how would you even know? How do you know if someone is het or cis? Banning either from pride only serves to alienate queer people who are cis and/or het, and forces people who are in the closet for one reason or another to out themselves.

[pinkfire-chacarera]

you're right my bad. post cancelled

[crushed-sugar]

It’s alright

There’s this really ugly ATLA mug at a shop that I’ve been debating getting. I don’t have a picture, unfortunately. I might take one if it’s not gone.

Anyway, it’s got a bunch of characters poorly cut from screenshots of the show on a white background. There’s bits of the background attached them and odd lighting. There’s even this Iroh that they for some reason took a paint bucket tool to and made him orange (except for part of his hand). It’s horribly ugly, and I’m pretty sure its a bootleg, but I want it.

[crushed-sugar]

I wish there was more positive psychotic rep.

[crushed-sugar]

I don’t have a single clue what’s going on in RE2 lore wise, but I like the puzzles and I like the gameplay :]

[baskeraskerville]

I dunno if this is weird or not, but are y’all planning on writing fanfiction? Lacking motivation? Anything of that sort.

I really need motivation and wouldn’t mind a writing buddy or two - like a whole ‘parallel play’ type of deal. Or just someone to ask me how the fanfic is going every once in a while and force me to write. No pressure.

hi! actor on stage! i can't speak for the others, but i for one would be soo down. void hasn't written fanfic in a hot minute so i'd say it's safe to say that he's lacking motivation. although i'm pretty sure he'd be down too! it's been searching for writing partners for a bit, but it sort of stopped since everyone said that they weren't interested

feel free to tell us more!

[crushed-sugar]

I’d be glad to work with you. And Void, if he’s interested.

I’ve had an SCP fanfiction on hiatus for like nine months with no work put into it at all. I feel like the longer I wait, the more anxiety I feel around it.

I figured it might be a good motivator to find some writing buddies. We could set up some time frames to write and check in on progress every half or something, maybe chat and help each other out with talking through ideas. If any of you are comfortable sharing writing, we could also look over each other’s work. I don’t mind sharing my work personally, and I’m not picky when it comes to what I’m willing to read.

If you’d like, we can discuss further in DMs.

[baskeraskerville]

oooh scps! void has an scp phase every month without fail lol.

i'm down to share (Even though i haven't really written anything, i'm fairly new xD)! as for the others, we'll check back in in the morning after we've slept and void sorta comes back to itself, but i'm pretty sure void would be okay with it too

i'm good with dms!

[crushed-sugar]

Sounds good to me!

If you’re tired, you should probably head to bed here soon. I’ve got tomorrow off, so tomorrow morning’s probably a good time to start chatting if that’s good with you.

[baskeraskerville]

we will! tomorrow's good. we have some stuff to do in the morning, but we'll send an ask when we're ready if that works!

[crushed-sugar]

Yep!

[ari-anachronism]

Guess it was bound to happen eventually

I was previously the blog owner of @/ari-chronism, @/comprehensive-sex-ed, @/thisisantisemitism, and @/sky-scout. first and last are probably irrelevant as those were my main and NSFW respectively but yk.

I'd noticed the other day that every time I tried to log in, it would reroute back to the main screen and not actually sign me into my account. I assumed Tumblr was glitching and so didn't bother doing anything about it, especially given I hadn't been notified of any sort of ban.

Then I got the idea to use my alternate account to check and see if my blogs were still there. Lo and behold, they were all gone.

I'm pretty sure I had been on the staff's radar for a while, and I don't know what the final push was to ban me. I don't know if I'm going to try and rebuild my accounts - I was stupid enough to not back up any of my content, so I'd have to do a good bit of digging to try and find my posts again and I'm not sure I have the bandwidth for that. If I don't, I might still remake my accounts and try continuing where I left off, but we'll see.

If you knew me on any of those accounts - hi. I'm alright. Sorry if my vanishing scared you.

I'll probably try and reconnect with my mutuals, if nothing else, so if anyone wants to circulate this post, feel free. I don't remember usernames well enough to search for them, but feel free to send an ask or message me and I'll probably recognize your profile if you're someone I knew.

[crushed-sugar]

Wtf staff…

[crushed-sugar]

Hey, does anyone know what happened to @comprehensive-sex-ed?

[crushed-sugar]

Special shoutout to all the queer, intersex, and trans het folks. Sorry for all the “it’s illegal to be straight this month” jokes you’ll have to endure. Y’all are still very much part of the community.

[tosety]

I'm straight and I'm making "it's illegal to be straight" jokes this month because you guys (and girls and nonbinary) are going through way too much with this political climate.

I see the Irish pride around St Patrick's day in my area and you all need a little bit of that energy right now so not only will I not be apologizing I'll be vocally disappointed with anyone not embracing being at least a little gay this month.

[crushed-sugar]

Intersex, nonbinary, aromantic, and asexual folks are excluded enough from pride. Transhet folks and bi people in het or het passing relationships are excluded enough from pride. There’s so much discourse about who should be included already. Y’all don’t need to make people feel bad because they might not gay enough for you to qualify.

And for someone who literally has a bit about needing to block people with donations for mental health reasons in your bio, you should understand why saying “it’s illegal to be straight” in your pride month posts might feel demoralizing to people who are still very much part of the community but don’t always get to feel welcome.

In this current climate, we don’t need to be excluding people and we don’t need to be shaming them.

[tosety]

I am honestly confused at the idea that it is excluding anyone under the lgbtqia+ banner for someone identifying themselves as straight to say we all need to be at least a little gay this month, but I apologize for not being clear enough.

Every group you mention does not fit into a strict definition of heterosexuality and is automatically more gay than me thus you are winning against me at pride month without needing to be anything other than what you are (you can identify however you wish and I will support any label you give to yourself, but if there is one bigot who says you're not straight then you are gay enough for pride month in my eyes (which lack any authority whatsoever))

I will fight anyone who says any of the groups you mentioned don't belong. Even if I didn't honestly believe every single one of you need protection and support, I would still have to fight for your inclusion because you all have far more claim to be included than I do

[crushed-sugar]

My point is a lot of these people are straight.

A trans woman who likes exclusively men doesn’t have to use straight as a label, but there are plenty trans women out there that do consider themselves straight. An intersex man who identifies as cis and straight is still just as much a part of the community because he is intersex. People who are heterosexual but aromantic might consider themself straight, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they’re aromantic. A good handful of my fellow nonbinary friends consider themselves straight simply because the label feels right.

Just because these people don’t quite fit into someone else’s definition of heterosexual doesn’t mean they can’t use the label and still be part of the lgbtqia+ community. It’s not for other people to decide whether or not they fit that label, or if they should.

Labels are not based on other people’s perceptions, they’re based on someone’s personal identity. If a bigot says they’re not straight, and they personally identify as straight, then they’re straight and fuck the bigots that say that.

I think I get where you’re coming from. But saying people aren’t allowed to be straight, even jokingly, isn’t support. You don’t have to be gay to be included.

And yes, this includes allies. Y’all are included in pride. Y’all are allowed to celebrate pride. Y’all have just as much right as anyone to celebrate pride month with us. No one has any ‘claim’ to be included, no one person is ‘winning’ because it isn’t a competition, and no one identity has priority over another. Yes, pride month is for people who are part of the lgbtqia+ community but that doesn’t mean other people can’t join in as long as they aren’t assholes.
