cult-rangoons's strawpage

I currently don’t do commissions. I estimate that to change sometime next year.

I only do art trades if to those I am close to.

I am not an adult.

I get socially anxious on here easily. I apologize in advance for not getting to your question in the inbox or dm, if this occurs.

If you post about frequent depictions of proshipping and the like, I don’t want to interact.

thanks for talking abt aroace fandom stuff. we r fighting a battle here ur voice is rallying us a bit i fear <3

you are so welcome!! i've said this before but the positive reception i've gotten on my posts makes me so happy because it really is isolating the way we're treated by people and i do fully believe that we should start taking up more space even if it pisses people off. ESPECIALLY if it pisses people off actually. i've just gotten so tired of having my representation taken away from me before my eyes and then being made to feel like my issues with it weren't important when they actually are and i know a lot of other people feel the same, so it has kinda become my current mission to get even louder about it!! never stop fighting!!!!!!! everyone get more aspec now!!!!!!!!

you can do whatever you want but also you should examine WHY you want to do a certain thing

[ravioliet]

similarly to how you should never trust gamers with a nonbinary character i feel like you can also never trust a fandom with an aroace character. whether it's explicitly canon or implied it just ends up the same

[ravioliet]

every time an allo person wants to ship an aroace spec coded character they should write an essay with MLA format citations on how this serves the themes of the story and is necessary for the character and how their ship is any different than the relationships said character already has and they should also send $500 dollars minimum to at least one aroace person in their fandom

[ravioliet]

"but people can do whatever they want!!!" i don't caaaaaare go examine your biases and cry about it or i'm blowing both of us up

[ravioliet]

fake "secret third thing" fans when a queerplatonic relationship they can't portray as romance lite walks in

also i think there is a larger issue at play here, which is how white-liberal ideology around the construction of "proper" behavior has done a number on how conflict vs. safety, and safety vs. comfort, are conceptualized in collective spaces, where for example any confrontation or interruption to actually address something potentially unsavory is seen as an escalation, borderline an act of violence the way it disrupts everyone having a good time, and "letting it slide"/moving past something/redirection is seen as a de-escalation and the righteous choice of "not taking the bait" or "being the bigger person" or whatever self-pat on the back. that is not what de-escalation is. conflicts and disagreements aren't inherently dangerous, and trying to prevent the existence of conflicts by entirely ignoring the issue because confronting it is uncomfortable and we do not want to "escalate" is not how safety is achieved.

theres definitely a line of thought ive noticed in liberal circles and in media and stuff where they think that bad stuff works and is true but is just bad for some moral reason.

but the thing is that this stuff is just factually wrong. eugenics doesnt work. race science isnt true. theyre morally wrong, yes, but theyre also factually incorrect, ideas that are deployed in service of monstrous ideology despite the fact that they simply arent true.

and its a major impediment to effectively combating these ideas, because if you concede their premises, you have already given ground to your enemies.

I will not call myself or other people "gooners" or "npcs" or "larpers". i will not call things i dont like "slop". i will not use terms like "-oids". i dont like how common language is slowly becoming more focused on shorthand terms for hate and apathy

The Clones Escape Team Fortress Industries 1972

This is the BLU clone team marching up the mountain of DoubleFrost during a blizzard — which isn't on here for aesthetic reasons — so their footprints will be buried immediately during the search for them after they descend down the other side. This is an iconic moment, in. My head. Where they finally leave the grip of their creators wielding them like weapons for an outdated war that's been going on for a reason its orchestrator can't even remember.

This is the lore of @corbeau-blu, but is applicable to this account, because they are the same Spies.

Maybe one day I can show their story with SFM.

steam repeatedly notifying you that a friend is booting up a game thats clearly not cooperating feels like ur sitting inside and someone outside keeps trying to rev up a lawnmower
