Weird Queer Funhouse @deanwax - Tumblr Blog

yes hello

Gina is my name, and Dean Wax is my pseudonym. I have had my pseudonym for long enough that I am comfortable being addressed by it. I use any pronouns, and I'm in the left bit of Australia.

What do you do?

Original queer fiction under the tag #deanwaxwrites

Poetry

Acrylic painting & ink drawings

Digital & marker doodles

I am also passionate about watching the performing arts, video games, cooking, and organising my pantry. And eye motifs.

Writing about?

Queer relationships and gender issues

Analysing and/or subverting power dynamics

Horror and trauma

Death and the afterlife (freestyle)

Comedy!

High and low fantasy

Where is your writing?

Behold, my master list.

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

you need to make more self-indulgent art btw. hyper-specific self-indulgent niche shit that appeals to You Specifically and maybe nobody else will get it or even like it but that's the point.

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

doing nothing is good for my soul.

i am not defined by what i produce.

my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.

2026 booktok discourse: sad books are a cognitohazard (they make you sad)

specialagentartemis

unfortunately some people on twitter are very literally already there

idle-speculation

Same genre I fear

derinthescarletpescatarian

The ideal book is 500 blank pages which act as a safe space that allows the reader full control over the narrative without running the risk of nonconsentually forcing their train of thought or violating their cognitive boundaries

If your brain refuses to create unless you do a specific activity (colouring) then give it the activity

#colouring book #acrylic markers

was brave enough to stick like 5 stickers on sketchbooks and tins today and i can confirm that the security of having sticker in unstuck form pales in comparison to the joy of sticker in stuck form. so use 'em

#stickers #you can in fact have your sticker and stick it too
