I also want to be clear that if I ever sound mean in a post, 90% I’m not intently being mean. Just being mean for laughs but if you DO ask if im genuinely upset, I’ll give you a clear answer.
I don’t have a dni but do keep in mind I’m trans, aroace (aegorimantic and aegosexual), a furry, a self shipper and I like swearing and dirty jokes.
If my askbox says “art requests” then I’m taking art requests. If it says “ask away” I’m not taking art requests.
Here are my separate blogs
@the-amazing-digital-pantheon for my tadc mythology au where all the characters are gods
Something I find really exhausting is how you always have to justify why this character is a race other than white and if they don't have X traits then it's not "proper representation"
Like what the fuck. My OC is Syrian because I'm Syrian. I get that different cultures should be visually represented but we're also just ordinary people?? I don't wanna have to justify my/my OCs existence constantly because I'm/they're not acting in the way you think these people should act
Ok, it's taken me SIX YEARS to make this. But I did it! It's done! Please watch it!
(No AI used fuck AI)
It's my first animation project, which is why it took so long. I had to learn to animate to make it. It's only a bit over 2 minutes, but I made it the best I possibly could. Please please please watch it. I am so proud of it.
It's a trailer for my first novel- a late YA scifi/superhero book.
Is it absurd to make a fully animated book "trailer" for a book that's been out for 6 years, with voice acting and commissioned music (by the fantastic @plottwiststudios) ? I mean yes. Of course. I'm not even doing this for real marketing purposes because this is a ridiculous thing to do. I don't even really think it'll sell books but the process of making it made me really really happy.
I love my fictional disaster queers, and I love my book, and when I was a kid I thought I'd grow up to be an animator. I've always loved animation, and I really, really enjoyed making something animated myself. I'm really proud of how it turned out.
Please watch it. Please share it.
If it does make you actually want to read the story, you can get it as an ebook, paperback, or audiobook. (the ebook is currently free)
I start my next animation project- a fake anime opening credits for book 3 in this series, starting next month.
As a white queer, some of you other white queers need to unlearn your racism. No, trans women are not the black people of the trans community. Black trans people are the black people of the trans community. PLEASE. Unlearn your racism.
I love the representation of Jax being a deeply closeted trans woman and there is so many people saying it doesn't make sense so here's a bunch of evidence on why I believe in transfem Jax. There will be episode 9 spoilers.
(will be using he/him mostly for Jax because that's how Gooseworx/the series still refers to him and he is still in the closet)
1) The egg theory
Jax and egg symbolization has been used so much throughout the series and to those who don't know a egg in transgender terms means a person who has not realized or accepted their gender identity.
In episode 6 Jax says oddly specific lines of not being a egg, in ep 8 the torture scene shows his skin being ripped off and beneath his skin looks like an inside of a egg, in ep 7 although I don't speak Chinese people throughout the internet has confirmed words are written like "egg" or "pain", and in ep 9 credits there is an image of a turned egg with question marks surrounding it. While some of these may be a reach there's just so many small hints surrounding eggs to be only a coincidence.
2) Struggle with masculinity
Jax has struggled with being and trying to perceive himself as masculine while being insecure over feminine things
In ep 5 Jax claimed what connected him to being a male is revealed to not be there (he does later conjure a tail to appear masculine), in ep 5 he is obviously very insecure being in a maid outfit, In ep 9 he says something along the lines of "when I was weak I was seen as less of a man", throughout the show he pushes the idea of liking "manly" things like chaos and violence then hating feminine things.
I used to believe these pushed the transmasc theory but sometimes closeted transgender people will push there assigned by birth gender roles to convince others/themselves that they are not trans, cope with the fact they could be different, and Jax is already known for putting on a mask/persona to cope being in the circus and as a self defense mechanisms.
3) Gooseworx posts and self insert
For those who do not know Gooseworx is a transgender woman and has said many times of Jax being her self insert. While him being a self insert doesn't mean Jax is an exact copy of her (I doubt Goose has thrown somebody out of a moving truck before) Jax being trans would make sense with the countless other proof.
(press on images to see better)
There are statements made by Goose hinting at him struggling with things linked to femininity. To add on, Goose has drawn fem/crossdressing images of Jax or him taking progesterone.
And these posts kinda feel like Goose disagreeing with Transmasc Jax
4) Zooble and Jax conversations/insults
Jax has made many jokes on Zoobles queer identity like lesbian stereotype, saying "they turn straight" (okay that joke was funny), and referring to Zooble being "gender freaky" in ep 9 but Zooble has also made discreet hits or advice to Jax possibly being queer
In ep 5 Zooble has Jax put into a maid dress claiming he would be into it and previously that episode there is a very brushed off scene but Zooble says Jax would know all about hiding. What stood out to me was in ep 7 Zooble goes to Jax and ends up talking about feeling comfortable in their own body along with saying "talking to people helps their struggles" (in this context it's about body dysphoria and gender) Jax does end up rejecting this claiming he has no problems but still a very interesting choice of conversation and characters if Jax is meant to be cis.
5) What Jax fears
Going back to the torture scene we see a glimpse of what Jax is scared of
This scene shows shadowed figures of Pomni, Ribbit, and Kaufmo people who Jax pushed away and cared for. These figures are ripping off Jax's skin and laughing (to note Ribbit is ripping Jax by the ears which is "the pinnacle of masculinity") Jax is left peeled away, defenseless, while being made fun of (in episode 9 Jax says his Mom laughed at him and ridiculized him for sharing something personal) Jax's fear is that if his true self is revealed it will leave him vulnerable and the people who he loves will laugh and hurt him
6) Episode 9 in general
Before ep 9 I believed that Transfem Jax was more of an interpretation or a headcanon but after seeing The Last Act twice in theaters its really right there in your face
In ep 9 Ribbit and Jax open up about what happened in the real world while Ribbit shares about her mormon household, Jax shares his relationship with his parents. He talks of how he was never close w/ his father and after the divorce his mother took her anger out on him. Jax told his mother "smth deep and personal" to hopefully help their relationship but instead his mother laughs at him and uses "personal degrading insults" His mother ends up hugging him but Jax pushes her away harming and possibly killing her. Jax comes back to reality and stresses about over sharing but Ribbit calms him down. After this Ribbit puts her bow on his head saying "your secret is safe with me" Honestly this was the main takeaway because putting the bow on him making him look feminine and him telling something deep and personal to his mother put together makes sense. Though it was not stated and we don't know the details Jax somewhat came out to his mother of feeling like a girl and Ribbit understands.
I've seen so many people saying the "isn't she lovely" montage is about Funnybunny but I do disagree because all those scenes that have Pomni in it Jax is the one being centered and at the end of the edit it is just scenes of Jax. The song Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder is about the birth of a beautiful little girl and wouldn't make sense if it was referring to Pomni. This scene refers to Jax as SHE while singing about the metaphoric rebirth of Jax accepting who she truly is.
I don't usually make posts like this and I really hope this somewhat makes sense because I can suck at wording my thoughts but I really wanted to just put it out in front of me.
An update for users in Brazil and the United Kingdom
To continue our commitment to user safety and to comply with local laws, we will start using age groups to determine access to certain experiences.
People in Brazil or in the UK, who are 18 or older, will soon need to verify their age to change content label settings and view mature-labeled content. Until then, the settings will be locked to hide.
As a reminder, verification is handled by our age-assurance partner, k-ID. Tumblr won't have access to the information you submit, just the final age-verification result. Documents are deleted after confirmation, and facial scan data never leaves your device.

Hey @changes do you want to do something about the overwhelming majority of transfem users' posts and profiles being summarily marked as mature before applying any version of this policy to TERF island?
HI! my ipad, which I use for 100% of my income, is TOTALLY BUSTED. huge chunks of the screen are unresponsive. basically the only thing I can use it for (WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY) is colouring. SO! I am opening some TRADITIONAL SKETCH COMMS this week while I send it in to get repaired. check these out!
$55USD for no colour, $65USD for flatcolour, $75USD for full rendering. this is a hugely discounted price from my usual comms, which are around $80USD-$100USD!
I can also do custom designs for another $15USD. please peruse my blog for examples of my designs! they're my specialty.
Man tbh I'm not really finding it fun to be in the TADC fandom anymore
All the discourse has really drained me and while I do enjoy the creative works people are making, I always feel a dark cloud looming over my head whenever I engage with this show and fandom
It sucks because TADC has been a comfort show for me during some really tough times but now I just feel numb thinking about it or interacting with it. I don't think it's anyone's fault in particular, I think I'm just not built for really busy fandoms like this lol
I'm really scared that I'm gonna get attacked at some point for an opinion I have or had about this show or for even liking/enjoying it at all
I might shift my blog's theme over time if I continue to feel this way and I've been thinking of doing that for a while but y'know
Cut ties with a friend of several years for being transphobic and homophobic and one of the gifts he left me with during our friendship is the fucking straight flag
