How could you not include the next three panels
hi hello everyone I feel like a fucking dumbass. my discord account was hacked, if you get a message from me about help or whatever DON'T LISTEN TO IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THANKS
Also mm just a heads up I’m gonna b entering a bit of a joint project w my sister real soon and it requires me to churn out a lot of art (which I love! This is going to be very fun for me even if I’m insanely busy) so this blog will maaaaybe be less active than it already was lmao
Doin art fight this year gotta make refs
Alr this week’s scribbles r done
Ehehehe
Ok ok I’m done being angry I think I’m honestly just gonna take a break from here for a while (more than I’ve been doing) besties im not feelin the vibe that much. I’ll still post art once a week cos I said I was gonna but I’m rly. Too tired to like look at anything
Also just saying I don't have a problem with the trope in particular, just it not being taken seriously. As in the giant is irrefutably bad and irl would go to jail. And suffer. Consequences. In the story. Like as in legit nothing temporary. I probs wouldn't read regardless but at least ik then you wouldn't trample on my rights yk.
I'm led to believe people legitimately know the implications, and underlying harmful messages tropes perpetuate, and simply do not care lmao. It really saddens me cuz it's not something I get the privilege to detach from.
Yes it's a fantasy. And it's harmless...for you. For me being dehumanized isn't something I never experience. I could go on and on about how I've walked out of a situation feeling terrible and not knowing why only to realize later I was being treated subtly as less, or you know it's in my face and I just have to. Deal with it. Just buisness as usual and I'm sure a lot of minorities get this.
I can elaborate, I probably will in something more thought out and complete about my thoughts. But god I just am feeling more and more like the gt community does not want racial minorities here. I've made a server to combat this sort of. At least the best I could. So if anyone is feeling unsafe and just wants a place they might be able to find some solace, always feel free to join.
As Juneteenth is coming up wanna encourage everyone to, take a step back. Be aware. What are you consuming. And if you are a minority that's sadly too aware of shit like me, try to focus on the good aspects of this community, try think about just how far it's come. Things will look up at least I'm hoping. I honestly don't know with how cishet in general this community is steering to.
Go ahead and call it out - the pet trope is awful. I don’t care if I lose followers from saying this, but stories where someone is reduced to nothing more than a plaything or a ‘pet’ and that perspective is not being shown as horrific are very much missing the point as to what a downright abusive relationship is. I’m wholly glad that there might be people here who do not understand the pain of what a relationship like that is, but those dynamics are very real and incredibly mentally and emotionally damaging. Not to mention (as someone diagnosed with PTSD from one such said relationship) I can very plainly say that those dynamics can be especially triggering for survivors of dehumanization irl. Having a little friend to hang out with? Of course that’s cute! But it isn’t when that person - who’s been stripped of their free choice and/or otherwise has no other reasonable option - is forced to cope with someone who by all means has the upper hand over them, holds all the power in the relationship, has all the physical power as well, and to top it all off - and the truly damning factor imo - refuses to treat them as they would a full-on equal. Or in other words, refuses to treat them with as much respect, consideration, and care as they would someone who could just as easily take a swing at them and take them on if they had the ability to rightly defend themselves.
As a general rule of thumb: If you take both the giant and the tiny and made them both human, and their relationship would be either illegal or feel uncomfortable to you then, know that it’s still exactly the same in the g/t context as well.
And even if the giant saved the tiny from an even worse situation, that does not merit them treating them as less. Even if the tiny is “happier now” or not being physically threatened anymore. And it certainly does not leave a good message for anyone - especially children - to see that dynamic and assume that it’s well and fine because it’s being portrayed as such. So many people who’ve gone through/are going through abuse themselves are left confused as to what is and what isn’t healthy after living for so long under so much pain, and considering how many use g/t as a coping mechanism it is not helping their situation to see something mirroring their own dehumanizing experiences being shown as though it’s perfectly normal and good.
Please please please - consider how the overarching message of your stories might affect others. Because I can say from experience that when someone is stuck in such an awful place for real, they turn to whatever escapes they can for some semblance of hope - and very often that ends up being stories in one form or another. Please do not reinforce the idea that abuse of any sort should be looked on in a positive light
So regarding the whole dehumanization trope in the community, being dehumanized and seen as less valued is really not a fun thing to have to deal with on a day to day basis.
People with darker skin where I’m from just have to learn to deal with being seen as less than say some of the paler folk and no matter how many times it happens, it still hurts like nothing else. Especially when you start to internalize stuff like that and start to see yourself as less, something not to be taken seriously or meant to be scorned just because of the colour of your skin and it honestly hurts and feels alienating seeing a similar rhetoric being taken so lightly by so many people in this community.
It makes you think you might be in the wrong here for feeling this way even though that's not the case and honestly it just kinda sucks to see.
Plus, regarding something that’s popular right now, this thing speaks light about a topic that hurts people like me. You could argue that the reader just needs to think a bit to know that the situation is obviously very messed up but the community's reaction to it all says otherwise on how it's generally being perceived by most people and, even if they did see it as a bad thing, how they are consuming it regardless
Also to be honest here, if someone treated me as literally less than human, I would very much not want to have them anywhere near me regardless of whether they changed or not later on.
Hit the nail on the head with this one dude
Questioning
A/N: So here is just a scene of Xena getting her regular dose of antidotes so Davina doesn’t kill her lol. I really like how this went :)
_______________
“Don’t.”
The hand pressing against Xena chest was small, and the pressure forced upon the giant was faint–nothing capable of pushing her down. Yet when it demanded she move she did, pressing her back flush against the bed.
“Move, and I won’t ever forgive you. You’ll stay still, and listen–since it’s the only way to stop you from breaking every fucking thing in this room.” Clemin spoke in an icy tone, casting dark brown eyes down at the giant under her.
Perhaps the maliced gaze should have alarmed Xena, but in all honesty? It only made the giant’s heart pound harder, happily taking in the sight before her. That gown…it fits her too well.
Her champagne satin dress gleamed as much as the rich lush of her skin, and Xena felt where Clemin’s legs attempted to straddle her body burn. It was cute, how she could sit over Xena’s waist speaking out commands, yet be so small her feet couldn’t even touch the bed. Times like this she wasn’t sure whether she wanted to let Clemin feel like she truly did control the situation…
Or simply flip her over.

(in which glynn has a nice traumadumping sesh with his bestie. fudged the ending. who cares.) ______________________________
Rare was it that Glynn and Amelia could both find the time to enjoy one another’s company. Though they spent most of their days together, it was merely part of their jobs: the king and his dutiful knight. Such moments of brevity were special things, highly coveted and treasured for as long as they could keep them. The day had been long for him, nothing but planning and important meetings with supposedly important men and women that would, somehow, help his kingdom in the long-run. Names and faces blurred together; propositions and intents became lost on him after the first few hours. He had begun to rely on Amelia whispering into his ear from his shoulder whether or not to deny or approve certain projects and people. Sometimes he thought Highpeak would be better off if he could just throw away the pretense that he was actually in charge and let her take the helm.
