Hiii, life update thingy ! 🚚📦⌛

I don't think I've mentioned it here but I'm in the process of moving houses with my family and that's been stressing me out a Lot, today + the next week probably will be Hellish, the move is taking place on Saturday early morning and there's still SO MUCH to do.

So, I haven't been able to draw almost anything, which adds to my stress, and it sucks, but I'mmm Trying to keep it together and telling myself I'll get time to finish my commissions and draw stuff for myself once we've settled in the new house and stuff.

I barely noticed that June ended, and it's now July, I'm sad I wasn't able to draw any pride things with my OCs in pride month, and I'm sad that I won't be able to participate in artfight, but I'm trying to focus on things I CAN do; like, finishing some OC sketches I have laying around, and continue writing the first draft of Miedo a la Monotonía, (I progressed a lot on that a few weeks ago and I'm SO happy about that 🥹💜)

SO, I'm sorry things continue being slow from me, but, I'm very hopeful for the future, 🥹I'll learn from my mistakes and start commissions slow, (and NOT take 9 commissions at once when I'm NOT used to doing that at ALL, ghbgjngh)

Thank u 4 reading ilyy 🫡💜

Racism ≠ "Drama"

Hi! @jeannereames ! I sent you a message privately, but I decided I am not willing to let this go unspoken publicly because I'm actually kinda tired of this racist cycle repeating itself 🙏🏾 so I'm going to post what I messaged to you, and then I'm going to continue on with my post 🙏🏾

"Hi, I got this sent to me and I can say this publicly if you'd like, because I don't want you to treat this as a private attack or on your character, but um- as a Black user who has seen the sort of virulently racist things this person has either said or stood by over the years, and the people she's spent time with and cosigned, am I allowed to have an opinion here? Like I fully understand wanting no parts of Tumblr drama, by all means, but um... No, I can't say I'm okay with this being dismissed as drama, especially when I as a Black fan have been targeted by the sorts of things she and her peers have said. And I don't know what your life experience is, but being told "I am not a racist" doesn't work on me when I am well aware of what I experience.

If it helps, I do run a page on racial sensitivity and media comprehension about Black characters as well. And am harassed semi frequently so I do know it looks like in many forms 😅

And I want to clarify this message isn't being sent in a cruel tone, I am just a bit hurt to see the bigotry I experienced and witnessed dismissed as mean girl drama and would like to offer a differing perspective, if you are genuinely seeking it."

The TL;DR: The creator you are unknowingly (?) supporting historically agrees with white supremacist sentiments, including with a user that was boldly being racist to me. When asked to overtly disagree with said user, she did not.

There will also be commentary on some of the people around her, because I am of the belief that if one willingly chooses to kick it with racists, then they are choosing to tolerate racism... And there's a word for that kind of person! I wanted to show you that while it may describe what you experienced, I do not consider what I experienced to be "mean girl drama".

Main Situation

So, back in November I wanna say, I was running an event where we would create Black edits of Dionysus from Hades Game. It was really fun! But apparently, people had a problem with that, and I ended up being told about it. I admit it made me extremely angry because while I am used to antiblackness from the Greek Mythology space on here, they don't get to potentially ruin everyone else's fun with their bigotry. Not in the safe, pro-Black space I'm building here, not this time.

Someone in particular, who went by @/Opal0684 , decided that they wanted to misunderstand my belief of "Afro-Greeks are real and always have been, and you don't get to say we aren't allowed to depict mythological figures as such, especially when it does not overtake the endless depictions of them as white," as "Greeks are Black".

This is a common misconception, one that I am starting to believe is on purpose, as it deflects blame from their true issue, which is that I'm depicting their favorites as Black. Anywho, they decided to go on the aforementioned racist run in my notes. A run that includes the sentence "saying Afro-Greeks are impossible isn't hating on anybody, it's just historically accurate." 😐🙃

Margaret chose to reach out to me directly. A respectable act! But when I asked her to overtly confront and disagree with said racist Opal, because she has a history of agreeing with said user on her own page, she dodged it altogether. Now, a peer of hers, @/galusandmalus, at the time accused me of not showing her comments and therefore her perspective. So, this time, I will show you the full conversation and you can come to your own conclusion.

Now, idk about you, but me? If I didn't want to be seen as agreeing with my past sentiments in front of someone harmed by them, especially if I see them as bigoted and inaccurate, I would loudly disagree! Instead, after I blocked her for this and publicly showed that I would not be forgiving her, Margaret took the time to rebrand to @/starweaverblog. You can also find that evidence in this same thread.

"Mean girl drama". Suffice it to say I firmly disagree with you, Ms. Jeanne, that that's what I was experiencing here.

Next Situation

As mentioned earlier, I do not believe that people who willingly cavort with racists can avoid that they, too, are racist. We will address some of those things here.

Around that same conversation in November, I had to deal with @/gemsofgreece (another person that Margaret and other peers publicly have interacted with) on what was an incoherently racist rant talking about the "hopefully small African American Woke Community", trying to colonize Greece and its stories in a way akin to Western Imperialism". It begs the question why someone would even answer a question that begins with the ask "why are foreigners obsessed with-" 🤔 unless... why are the "foreigners" obsessed with WHAT 🤔

Now I will admit, that phrase was kind of hilarious and we did have fun with that. Anyway.

Another person trying to pull the argument that I said "Ancient Greeks were all Black" and not "Afro Greeks existed in Ancient Greece". The overt tones of fear of Great Replacement- a white supremacist belief- ring quite loud. 😐 I'm going to be real. If that phrase doesn't also sound like a hysterical line right out of a Fox News/right wing network headline to you... Idk. But to me, it speaks for itself.

Next Situation

There's both a lot and nothing to say about the casual racism of her and Galus' peer @/katerinaaqu. From witnessing her live on someone's post casually saying that "North African Diomedes' dreadlocks and dark skin haunts her" (and I do know someone- @droodlebug -who also saw her say that, live), to subtweeting about my fanfic being insulting because I dared use an Ethiopian singer's works in an AU where I made Patroclus Black, that means absolutely nothing to anyone or anything because it's FANFICTION... Like. 😐 Just racist over silly shit that could be kept in her head, digging holes for people who won't publicly defend her.

I truly believe if you just ASKED any of these folks directly- and she has been asked- "do you believe that some people in these stories can be depicted as Black", they're going to give you the runaround of how it'll only be acceptable "if" and "who". And it's not hard to tell why someone would do that. Because apparently you have to have permission and follow certain rules to draw people Black in these stories for fun. I wonder why that's not expected of white depictions? 🤔 I wonder what those rules will be? 🤔 I wonder why this energy isn't being expended under the creative pieces of everyone drawing Anglo Saxon blondes? 🤔

Last Situation

This is getting long. So! In case you feel like all of my notes here are solely directed towards my personal experiences of antiblackness, I understand. If I cited to you the creators of all the whitewashed Hades Patrocluses, we'd really be here forever, so I won't do that. Just know that it is very normalized to be antiblack in this space.

But, for proof that the culture of the space itself is not just antiblack, but racist as a whole, there are other users who have been harassed, some to the point of silence and leaving the app, for depicting any of these mythological characters as anything other than white. Dionysus-drawers like @mcsiggy seem to be a common target (Dionysus must be a favorite lmao); really all you have to do is draw a piece of that man and his wife while Not White and if they see it, here comes the microaggressive complaints.

There was also an entire anti-Asian campaign online with @/alatismeni-theitsa (yet another peer) because people had the audacity to enjoy the depiction of Hermes from Hades as Chinese or some other sort of Asian (because apparently South Asian Dionysus is cool, but THAT'S ALL!) Because I'm not of that community, I don't want to speak for them. I just wanted to let you know that while these folks seem to really hate Negroes, the smoke is available for anyone that isn't white! And once again- there's a term for that!

I'm just exhausted of the very obvious culture of white supremacy in the Greek mythology and Classics spacebeing denied. I don't know how anyone could walk into it and not notice it's a Whites Only space (except for the Approved Tokens), with anyone who does enjoy diversity pushed to the outskirts for safety. These are not connections made by happenstance; you can only be a comfortable bigot in a space where bigotry is deemed comfortable. We could at least be honest about it!

In Conclusion

I'm well aware that I will probably be called a bully for pointing out these people's acts. So be it. 🤷🏾‍♀️ If the violence of racism isn't harassment, why would pointing it out be? "Why do you have all this" well I wouldn't have to if people believed in Black people's pain and experiences when they said it 🤷🏾‍♀️

And you, Ms. Jeanne, said that you'd take perspectives as long as they weren't anonymous. I don't feel the need to call out racism anonymously! If the racism was public, the response should be. You- any of you- can always find me here and ask me questions and I will answer you outright- I literally do this every day. For free! And I know what racism looks like because I experience it. Every day. For free!

I am firmly against the idea that racists can seek out white forgiveness for their actions. That's unacceptable. While I understand where you're coming from, you do not get to make the call that Margaret isn't racist- she doesn't get to make that call! Not when you've got users of color and witnesses who could beg to differ! "Not racist" SINCE WHEN?

And while these are just racists kekeing on the internet, my genuine concern here is YOU, Ms. Jeanne, because you said that you're a professor. A teacher! Your word and your beliefs will be passed down to your students. And I worry that you might be spending time with folks that will reflect poorly upon you, or whose beliefs might slip into yours.

What gets taught to the next generation becomes normalized. And those students are gonna have peers of color. You may have students of color! You publish books! People are gonna read what you say, internalize the things that you believe! So I would like to believe you would choose to do the right thing.

As for the people I've mentioned here, if/when you see this: there's always a chance to reject what you once believed. Yes, everyone has the chance to grow! But so long as you continue to willingly choose racism- because it's been pointed out to you all!- as long as I witness it, I am going to hold you to task for it. If you want to be racist, you should not have a problem being identified as such. And if you don't want to be perceived that way, you're going to have to actually try to let go of those racist beliefs. Not seek out white validation for it to be forgotten.

[creatingblackcharacters]

"hey I was told you were allying with a known racist, I thought I'd warn you if you didn't know." "why do you even care? You're stalking me!" WELP! Once again I've seen all I need to see 👍🏾 @ahasiw-okitowin apparently she's indigenous, come get ya girl 👍🏾

will you be participating in artfight this year? regardless, which team would you pick?

I chose the Mystery team, and I'm feliville in artfight as well [link], but I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to participate this year.

I've been struggling a Lot to draw for the past few months, I can't promise I'll be able to draw much for artfight, if at all.

I've missed a lot of art things I wanted to do (like mermay and pride, both with OCs), so I'd rather catch up with those if I'm able to draw.

I do appreciate these asks a lot, thank you so much ;v; !

[hyzenthrae]

you are required to be and act anti-racist

[hyzenthrae]

thinking and hoping you're not racist isn't enough. i am talking specifically and especially to white trans people whose political ideology and differing axis of oppression makes them feel immune to racially motivated missteps and behaviors

[hyzenthrae]

and im suggesting firmly and with pain in my heart that apologies must start and end with "i'm so sorry to have done this. i recognize what was done and will work to do better." and at no point must your apology be accepted in order to continue a working relationship/comradeship/solidarity, at no point does your continued ":( i just feel so bad" matter to me or any other person of color

you have to process your feelings about doing a racism separate from the persons or people you did the racism to. you do not offload the labor to the affronted. you do not assert what your "intent" was repeatedly or ask for help from the hurt

[feliville]

it's been months again since I've been able to draw consistently, 2 friends suggested I might be burnt out, which is scary to think about, and I hope it's not the case, etc,. A Lot of stuff keeps happening in my life, I feel exhausted all the time.

Sorry for not posting art in so long, and for not answering asks in so long either,, I really want to, and I hope i can do it soon, but godd i just want to sleep all the time, my head hurts

[anglaised]

average white queer would kill themselves if they switched places with us like it is a little crazy sometimes it feels like talking to a wall bc they fully dont really care that racism is bad like they dont even like register it as something life ruining its just like a tiny oopsie to them…….how do u read a post that says “tradwife ideology cannot be separated from nazi ideology” and only walk away with “ u should be very careful practicing submission kink everyone! tradwife can be done but just make sure u have a safe word <3” …..im going to chase you with a large rock

"What I want you all to keep in mind, is that the art you’re painting:

And I know that's silly right, like yeah no shit Ice, we knew that. BUT my point here is don’t be afraid to study photography, theatre, and staging for ideas. They actively work with light! It’s why I share so many images of models; it’s purposeful, focused staging of light with many of these compositions!

Brown-skinned Black people- brown-skinned people in general- GLOW in the light! Our skin reflects environmental light! There’s so much opportunity to play with that, and you can see different examples in those mediums."
