what is your pfp i can never tell what it is
The orrery of my universe.
It/ve; you can call me by my URL cause that’s funny. I (still) like changelings, linguistics, and komaedas. My own stuff is mostly in the tags #my art, #my fic, & #text. AO3: elsewhat.
I just want everyone to eat well and get old
every single one of us should have the chance to get old and bald and wrinkly and fat. I mean that sincerely
the post: i use it/its pronouns. i put a lot of thought into deciding which pronouns fit me best, and i landed on these. i promise that you are giving me zero new information when you explain to me unsolicited why you don't understand it/its users, so could you maybe-
at least 3 separate people in the comments: i agree with this but i feel like i have a unique and nuanced perspective on it/its pronouns... to sum it up, the way i see it, using it/its can actually feel dehumanizing. have you ever thought about that? it's just kinda my opinion haha so i don't really expect you to have ever considered before that some people on earth might think of it/its as dehumanizing... i'm not upset with you or anything, i mean, you've probably never heard my other niche observation either, which is that being asked to use it/its pronouns on someone might make a lot of people uncomfortable... yeah it's been used in the past for derogatory purposes (clearly never on you though lol). yeah people might have trauma even. but it's cool, it's all good, you just didn't know that. well now you know. food for thought 😊
i wish there was more it/its positivity that wasn't just "hell yeah look at you go funky little goblins/otherwordly beings/freaks/objects"
this is really important actually i wanted to link one of my fav tweets on this subject :>
A World of Darkness is a normal world to someone like me
In this economy feedism is a physically impossible kink akin to vore or furry tf
Feedism but it's just sexualizing having 3 meals a day
Microdosing feedism by eating dinner

This is what having auditory processing issues is like.
amelia bedelia lives in a constantly shifting, unstable, frightening personal world where no amount of exposure to others ever gives her secure confidence in a general understanding of other people that would preclude them requesting apparently insane things, things which she has to always suppose make perfect sense for reasons she’s simply not privy to because she is blind
nya nyanny mewmew it's hard to imagine that this cat was feral at some point she doesn't look like she could handle the streets
I need to stop jokingly calling people changing to be ‘normal’ as ‘detransitioning’ because I just said “did you see guy fieri detransitioned” to a friend who didn’t know about me doing that in a joke way
Fallout 3 power armor mechanic and his duplicitous twin brother who says the word "uncivilized" too much.

Okay here's my obligatory post about Tumblr users and their ignorance of rap, as a (white) fan of rap:
Saying "Not all rap music is about violence, here are alternatives" is not helpful, because the violent music ALSO has meaning.
When Biggie Smalls postures about his gang connections and packing heat, he isn't doing it because wow violence is so edgy, it's a powerful statement. Youth in urban areas where gang activity is heavy are often treated as lesser than by default, especially compared to black people the same age from a wealthy background. There's a reason that the "wholesome and respectable" black-lead entertainment of that era was stuff like the Cosby Show, with doctor-lawyer parents, or Family Matters, with a cop dad. There's a reason why the big joke of Fresh Prince is someone with a more unstable upbringing moving in with one of these model black sitcom families.
Standing up and saying yeah, I came from the mean streets, I was molded by this violence and yes, I did what I had to do to survive in a world that refuses to acknowledge my existence as meaningful or worthy of protection. I protected myself, I made my own way, and fuck anybody who tries to stand in the way of that.
Refusing to demonize that environment and wearing it like armor in a way that protects from the authority that wants you to see them as sub humans incapable of only violence and hatred, and saying HEY. I'm here, I lived this, and there is love and there is pain and there is ART in this.
That is powerful. That is the essence of gangster rap.
It isn't about hurting people for fun, it's about holding a mirror up to a society that does the hurting and then calls you a monster for what it's made you. Its about validating the experiences of the disenfranchised and biting back at authority. It's about turning a pain that the world say you deserve being one of those people from those places into POETRY. Into ART.
And thats why it matters.
And thats why you need to shut the yell up and stop dismissing it as violence without substance when you all sat on your ass listening to songs about Hatsune Miku eating people in middle school.
This right here.
I'm sick and entirely tired of having to defend my entire young life to people who want to do nothing but insult the music that helped make me ME.
I get around a lot of people who look at me and see a role model. They see something they aspire to be. They see a life they want.
And so they approach me and talk to me and I am excited to share my culture with them. All the way until, for the 784th time in a row, someone tells me "I don't listen to rap"
Or
"I only listen to music with real instruments"
Or
"I have to be in the right mood to listen to that, which almost never happens"
And they don't see how insulting that is. To walk up to me, tell me you like me, that you want to be like me, but then ignore one of the things that makes me me.
You don't want to be like me. You want to fucking cosplay as me. You don't want to watch the movies I watch, listen to the music I like, enjoy a meal or a coffee with me, or interact with anything that I create. So tell me again just exactly what it is you like about me?
What my clothes and the color of my hair? You're missing the whole fucking point of why I keep color in my hair. I never wanted to stand out. I just stood out anyway because people would fucking pick me out. People singled me out. Teachers, preachers, family, strangers, cops, leaders, and outcasts alike all looked at me no matter how boring I dressed and decided that I am meant to stand out. So I decided to stop hiding and stand out on my fucking own
It's the same thing with rap music.
These people did what they had to do to survive, and you don't get to tell them their music isn't valuable because it's not the same as the soft rock that has been playing around the world on repeat for the past 50 years.
You're not breaking new ground. Listen to somebody who doesn't look like you for once
Oh I was on fire this day
And this is still the damn truth. Every word
I'm just as red hot about this as the day I wrote it.
Every fucking time I bring up a black artist I like somebody tells me they haven't heard of them and then brings up some black artist wrapped up in controversy to try to pretend THAT'S why they can't listen to black music.
"Oh she's too sexual"
OK listen to the music I listen to. It's not sexual. And even if it was, it would still be fucking valid.
"Oh he's too violent"
OK listen to the music I listen to. It's not violent. And even if it was, it would still be fucking valid.
And by the end of the conversation, they've been introduced to 7 new wholesome amazing artists that they've never heard of and will never listen to again
Because they're FUCKING RACIST
Fuck you and fuck your attitude about black music. Listen to black music
And if you come at me with those same dumb ass excuses, you are racist piece of dogshit and you can go fuck yourself.
i dont think "goonbait" designs are wrong or immoral i think characters (lady characters) should be allowed to be sexy. but i DO think theres something to be said if all your male characters unremarkable or weird blobs and all ur ladies are boob queens, thats just classic sexism and you should be criticized
hot take that I'll stand on is that so much greek virtue ethics stuff makes a fuckton more sense (esp. to people who aren't neck deep in it) if you talk about it in danganronpa terms. ex. aristotle says "pleasure perfects action," we disagree over whether that means pleasure is equivalent in amount to the perfection of an action, pleasure increases the perfection (and therefore pleasure experienced) in doing an action, or pleasure optimizes the ability to do an action and therefore perfects it. that is word salad! ok! we're talking about CAPACITY and FIT: if the ultimate musician plays the ultimate instrument, they'll experience ultimate pleasure. ok so now we have the ground terms: is that pleasure possible because the ultimate musician experienced pleasure in playing the instrument and was able to become ultimate in their capacity to play, or was there already a perfect fit between capacity and pleasure at first contact? can they experience a pleasure that is more than ultimate, greater than the sum of its parts, because of their ultimate ability? how does that figure? etc. etc. I don't know but at least we're using words now! ultimate <3 love it. people should get on this (just uhhh not me xoxo)
