Dreams of Discord @discordantdream - Tumblr Blog

I should create a pinned post. (Updated Feb 8 2026)

Hi there! Welcome, all that jazz, to a place where I reblog basically anything that catches my attention. Random memes, interesting stuff from fandoms, nostalgia, political takes, complaints about my disability and chronic pain, fiber arts, and occasional wins in life.

I'm a polyamorous pansexual, genderfluid, married for 22 years, in my mid 40s, and a friend to all trans folk of all varieties. TERFs and radfems can fuck right off, so can cop apologists or conservatives. I've got no time for your bullshit.

I love Xena, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Star Trek (various series though I haven't seen them all), Sinners, the Valdemar series, and I'm sure I'm forgetting things. I cross stitch, I paint, I bake, I am slowly learning to embroider and sew, I crochet, I play too many video games, and I take care of two very stupid cats all while trying to write. I roleplay and have far too many OCs that I get obsessed over, but have yet to actually share them with anyone other than my RP partners, because I don't really think anyone would be interested. They're cool in my mind though, so that's what matters.

Much of my life these days is consumed by medical trauma and a rare blood disease so I might sometimes express deep depression and anxiety about circumstances.

Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious

Lying on a bed full of coats trying desperately to cope?

This one is a little busier than my last one, not a nice or as clean but still fun. I think I need to back up on the lyrics. Do less, be more purposeful with my little drawings but either way a fun little exercise in line art and blocking.

Did you boycott Target when they rolled back their DEI initiatives? And are you still boycotting after the change of leadership?

Did boycott and still boycotting

I feel like contouring is lowkey racist

Is this a joke?

Noo lol I knew I’d regret phrasing it that way. This is tumblr, after all…

It’s not “people who contour are themselves automatically racist” but that the desired face shape created by contouring is one that, at the end of the day, pretty much reflects existing white standards of beauty. A thinner, pointier nose, smaller chin, high angled cheekbones and (on occasion) smaller lips. Also if you’re darker skinned you have to use a much lighter shade of foundation thus ending up with an overall lighter face.

I probably could have phrased that better.

No, you are absolutely correct. In fact it is not even lowkey in the performance arts/entertainment world. I’ve known how to contour since I was 9, because I was in ballet. I was taught by an older Asian dancer who told me that I was already darker than everyone else, my face couldn’t look different too. So she showed me the basics, then left me with a picture of a white person as the goal to emulate.

It’s always been explicit and intentionally racist in terms of what is considered correct contouring technique is to emulate white associated features. Which is not to say that contouring is bad, but it is good to ask ourselves why we do not contour to make our noses look wider and more distinguished. Or why we don’t shadow and highlight to make the face look perfectly round? While contouring is not bad ( and is actually very cool to literally be able to control the way people perceive your face, it’s like magic) it’s good to ask ourselves why we contour the way we do.
