Do any of you know about that one painting with Aphrodite being born out of lava with a black swan by her side or did i completely hallucinate that? Been searching for a while but i can’t find it for shit.

thecavenest

I tried googling that description but no luck either, anyone might know what painting this might be (or if it does exist? cause it sounds sick lol)

It took a bit of googling magic, but I think I’ve found it.

This is “Kindled” by Laura K. Cannon, which is part of her portfolio that can be found here: http://navate.com/2wk6im1sartc92iwza7il07bxq2mk5

Is this what you were looking for? @sakyubaso

the original artist states:

“This went kinda viral on tumblr and people are arguing whether it’s a painting of Aphrodite. It’s not. If she must be a goddess, I think she’d be Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire.

But it doesn’t depict anyone specifically. After some soul-searching I realize that, while I wasn’t thinking about it at the time, it’s a painting about battling depression. I live with MDD so the idea of emerging from the depths is a powerful thing for me.

Is she being born from the lava, or is she climbing out of Hell? I think it’s both.”

so. not Aphrodite, but someone beautiful nonetheless

Its so fucked up that the ace community experienced so much (and I don't use this lightly) trauma at the hands of other lgbt people and no one fucking addresses it

theunsubtleknife

And if you have the privilege to doubt if it was truly traumatic? If perhaps that's too strong a word? Maybe reflect on that. Because there truly is no other way of saying it.

The person who said I should have also mentioned the aro community you're 100% right aro folks were subject to this same horror and you deserve to have that acknowledged

All the aro and ace and aroace people leaving their stories in the tags of how scared they were or are to this day to come out TO OTHER QUEER PEOPLE know that I read them all.

Still collecting the full alphabet of the “live, laugh, love” variants if anyone has some good examples.

Bonus if they can fit the “We can’t ___, _____, ____ our way out of this.”

why do so many other LGBT people just not know what internalized homophobia/transphobia actually means???

i know that most of the people saying this are probably young and mean well but its not automatically 'internalized homophobia' whenever a queer person is homophobic/transphobic to another queer person. its just being homophobic and has the same or even more consequences as when a cishet person does it. it might be the result of internalized homophobia but as soon as you start externalizing it it just becomes normal bigotry imao.

and its rarely even 'lateral homophobia' because these people mostly target nonwhite/autistic/fat/gnc/uses uncommon labels or has a less accepted identity gay/trans people when they are none of those things and obviously think that means they are better then the rest of us.

its not that big of a deal but i feel like it can make people ignore the fact that homophobia/exclusionism from other queer people mostly affects people who are part of other minorities as well and can be equally based on other kinds of bigotry as it is in homophobia or transphobia. and it can honestly convince other people to feel sympathy for exclusionists/truscum that they really don't deserve or compare their 'internalised homophobia' to the experiences of queer people who've been actually harassed by their own community. like almost every queer person has internalized homophobia but most of us don't feel the need to be fucking assholes to people in our own community. ٩(◕‿◕)۶

Read this as Agitated Dinosaur Bone and I was like wow I wonder what made him so mad

My fullest support and love for genderless people, people who don't care about gender, who use any pronouns at all, who refuse pronouns, who present in an androgynous way, who mix and match their presentation, who are unsure what name to use, who change names frequently, who aren't sure about labels, and who reject labels altogether. You're doing great!

Neanderthals were whipping up meals in their caves based on flavor and processing plants so they’d taste the best. Like, they were in there making stews and sauces and things. They weren’t just eating ingredients, they wanted things to taste good too.

byjove

thinking about some poor Neanderthal making dinner for their communal band and everyone being like “this tastes really bad, dude”

slutwater

even worse theres like 0% chance they didnt clown him for it. they probably found a rotting carcass like 2 years later and said "ahhh smells just like grungos cooking" and then everyone else laughs

byjove

so true 😔
