“Trans men don’t make good music it’s all cringey ukulele indie pop” name a trans male musician who makes music like that other than cavetown

You know what? Name any trans male musician at all who isn’t cavetown

i dont want to derail from op's original point, but there have been a lot of wonderful reccs on this post, and i DO think we as a community need to do more to uplift trans men/transmasc musicians instead of stereotyping all transmasc musicians as "cringy". so, i sat down and went through every comment, tag, and reblog on this post (at least, all of the ones that are visible to me) and compiled a list, and i included some of my own favorites that i didnt see mentioned!

this list is not in any order, and i am not familiar with most of these artists, so an inclusion on this is not an endorsement of anything! if ive made a mistake anywhere, just let me know!

This is the most beautiful scientific diagram I've ever seen.

Also a great example of why pink is a tint of red, but also a completely different color. Erbium? Neodymium? So beautiful.

Sharing this again because it's still too doggone hot

[grinningghoulie]

I took a Cult of the Lamb quiz that paired you with a character to be your soulmate X//D I got Leshy, so naturally here are some doodles c:

Also (from brief reasearch) some bagworms(all?) will grow up to be moths… so uhm fairy Leshy was nessicary XD (gets beaten to death by fairy wand /silly)

Ah yes, the great sport of:

One of the secret things I feel that is really important to an artists tool belt (especially traditional folks) is the art of fixing mistakes

It’s an unsung hero and one of those things you slowly pick up on, on your way, no one really talks about it much in fundamentals either :o

Just tonight I tried something that saved a watercolor piece I was working on, watercolors can feel so crazy daunting because once you make a mistake or once paint bleeds it can feel like it’s ruined with no way to fix it

But they make a white opaque watercolor, that you add some paint to, to make a similar enough color you can put over mistakes, you can even use white gouache, or colored pencils, or something else!

Things can be fixed, mistakes can lead to innovation, or remembering tricks that you may have learned once but forgot

Art is cool like that uvu )

[grinningghoulie]

Girl help, I got my pronouns stolen by a short dandy

Believe it or not I made the painting on a large note card dkdjdjk XDc

I have been carrying those around in my bag to give myself more oppertunities to draw on the go, and I loved the pen sketch so I ended up painting on top of the sketch with a set of brush markers, colored pencils, and added some digital additions as well, very multimedia XD

…The same person who invented a dooms day device, is the same person who decided that this teeny tiny cute mouse bomb would be a like a secret weapon???… He’s nuts… He’s coconuts… (I love himb your honor)

My part of an art card swap with da wonderous @momolady !

Sharing slighted tilted photos too so you can see the shimmer! This was done in watercolor, a silver colored pencil and posca marker for the grungy back of the card. >:3

[momolady]

My part of the trade! I couldn’t mail as quickly and felt bad, so I crocheted a Mimikyu as well as did the art card of Alcremie. I had so much fun. Maybe I can do more trades in the future.

[grinningghoulie]

LOOKIT HOW CUTE THESE ARE!!!!! I have been looking at my mimikyu and alcremie card and have been getting much needed dopamine from them ;A; AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

 | Mammon Redesign |

Mammon appeared around the 6th century, he is the result of greed's personification by humans during those times.

He owns several casinos around the world, the larger is in Las Vegas, built by one of his favorite humans: Julius.

Nomisma is his right hand in the management of these casinos, these two cooperate to drain everyone that steps into these places of their money.

And yes, Mammon bathes in melted gold to get his scales all shiny: he wants to be shiny as possible.

HOLD UP HOW WAS I NOT AWARE OF THIS

[lichpire]

was gonna leave my comment in the tags but tbh i’m silent enough about this as it is.

seeing stuff like this is so upsetting because these terms were well known and widespread in the ace community but because of exclusionists many people stopped using terms like this because they felt uncomfortable and unsafe.

i loved these terms when i was in highschool, i loved the feeling of community, but i lost that because i didn’t feel comfortable openly and proudly calling myself asexual.

they’ve hurt so many people and damaged our community badly and i will never forgive them for that. we deserve to use our own terminology and feel safe within our community.

[atasteforsuicidal]

sometimes i notice i haven’t seen “grace” (grey-ace) in a while and consequently wonder if i made it up.

[slenders1ckn3ss]

I remember ppl - even other ace ppl - saying the card suit thing was “cringey” and “straight ppl aren’t gonna take us seriously” (sounds familiar?) So i guess the community wound up abandoning it. We were also having severe issues at the time with aces being stereotyped as “childish/immature” for associating things like cake, dragons, and space with asexuality, plus in general as most aces just don’t “get” allosexual things in media and irl. We were starting to be viewed as ignorant, virginal, childish, losers, etc. I haven’t seen an ace-cake thing in a good while now.

This was the infancy of exclusionary influence on us. I didn’t realize it did more damage than just closeting us. Whole symbols and terms have been lost. Community has been lost.

[cobraonthecob]

I remember three-four years ago I got myself into the ace community on Insta, and I came across these terms. People in these circles would talk about cake, space, dragons, and the black ring on the middle finger. Then, a year or two later, ace content fizzled out (I thought it was Insta’s algorithm figuring out that I knew all this and didn’t bring me the old stuff) and young aces had no idea what any of these were - including the black ring. Finding out young aces had no idea what the black ring meant nearly snapped my heart in two - I proudly wore the black ring, I drew characters with it, and it was my quiet way of communicating to others what my sexuality was. I was baffled at the lack of knowledge - and it turns out that exclusionists got their hands into our community and snuffed us out. 

Anyways, we need to bring this back. I thought the card suite thing was cool, it taught people the different ways people can experience attraction, I loved making jokes about preferring cake, I loved wearing the black ring and talking about it with my fellow queer people at my highschool QSA club. 

[kriss-watches-stuff]

I’m sorry, people don’t know about the cake or ring anymore? I remember being welcomed with spams of cake gifs, photos, and MS Paint drawings. I also distinctly remember that the block solo ring in the midle was meant as reference to the Ace of Spades (black, solo, middle of card). Only thing I didn’t know was that other aces could represent a more refined nuance. Let’s see if we can get this all rolling again.

Welcome to anyone who is interested in helping with the culture revival.

[haunting-kind-of-high]

This is the exact reason I started my #ace positive and #aro positive tags. I remember learning about asexuality and thinking it was cool, but not for me (yet). I remember ace visibility day where people would post selfies with an ace card to signify their orientation like in the original post. I remember going through the tag and following every ace blog I could find, turning notifications on and scrolling through their blogs endlessly to learn more about it. I haven’t gotten a notification for any of those blogs in ages.

Going through all those blogs and seeing validation, learning more things about my newfound orientation was so incredibly as a questioning and unsure 15 year old. It’s devastating to me that this community has fallen quiet so much. So I started my tags, hoping to spread some more positivity and maybe inform people. This community is full of incredible people and the fact that so little of them remain, it heartbreaking.

Check out my tags if you ever need to. Maybe I’ll add more tags to my list to do whatever I can in support
