REALLY GOOD PICTURE

[frightfullytreeish]

[quietwingsinthesky]

noncon romance. is this anything.

[quietwingsinthesky]

Confessions on the brink of death a character accepts out of kindness because it won’t matter soon anyway, but then the other person doesn’t die, the other person expects them to carry through on their promise to love them and gets angry when they try to back out. Blackmail held over someone’s head just to force them to flirt and make romantic advances on another person, so it looks like they wanted this relationship. Talks about marriage and happily ever afters together as a threat. “I love you, I love you, I love you” as a violation that you’re expected to smile at and be grateful for, because you’re supposed to want to be loved. noncon romance.

[quietwingsinthesky]

adding to this: feeling love against your will. love forced on you by some power beyond you. love that you know you wouldn’t feel if you weren’t blessed (cursed) by it. love that you don’t want and is ruining you and that everyone keeps praising you for feeling. love that everyone around you gets mad at you for rejecting anyway. love that’s made so overpowering that it wipes out any semblance of “you” that there is to make way for a thing that will love someone back.

[quietwingsinthesky]

funniest part of this post is how many people reblog it tagged something like “this sounds aromantic” or “op not to derail but aromanticism” and like well guys you’re never going to believe why i find forced romance such a horrifying concept-

[asexualeros]

many people would be happier and feel less broken if we de-centered romantic relationships but idk if queer people are ready for this discussion. simply because if you are traumatized and soft conversion therapy’d out of expressing romantic desire, the idea that romance is not important is traumatic. and then there’s the pervasive family of origin trauma. if your partner fulfills the ache of unconditional love that you never felt growing up, you understandably will want to prioritize that relationship. plus there’s the pervasive sexual shame.

which means that people who are aro and ace kind of have to navigate a soup of other people’s trauma that we trigger by existing, and definitely trigger by taking up space and CERTAINLY trigger by offering observations like this one.

[asexualeros]

this post has apparently resonated with a lot of people. i have been checking the comments & tags and a lot of people have shared this experience with me. i’m so glad you saw something of your life reflected here.

so, i just want to say, i think the blame here lies squarely on the shoulders of cishetero amatonormativity. end of the day, we are all being crushed by forces that say “you should be this way, or no way at all”, and then actively erect barriers to other ways of life.

for the people that react with anxiety or dismissal toward other-other ways of being, i ask you,with love, for self reflection.

if you have been less than your best and most generous self toward ace and aro people in the past because of very real trauma, you can be different going forward. i highly encourage you to simply read the tags of this post and listen to what other people have said. sit with it. and then ask what you could do differently next time.

if you are ace and aro and have shared here, thank you. it means a lot to me, and i am sure it means a lot to others as well.

WHY ARE YOU MARKED RED ON SHINIGAMI, WTF DID U DO

i cant even post moths anymore. because of woke

[mossybogwitch]

you might be marked red on shiningami eyes because of the moths actually! Or more accurately the butterflies. I filter posts based a some key words including “terf” and consequently anything with “terf” in it gets blocked such as “butterfly,” “waterfall,” and “monsterfucker.” Like so:

The post in question is reblogged by my girlfriend from my own side blog that has “butterfly” in the title

[hellsitegenetics]

that is quite honestly the funniest thing ever

[lurking-kitty]

Here's a tumblr post I found with additional information about what's been happening.

Just a heads up someone who @'d you recently (404shcats) is red on SE and likely a TERF. Thought you should know, stay safe broski -Recoil H

Here's another relevant thread

existence is resistance

refresher for anyone who hasn't heard 🙃

I'm rather embarrassed to only be finding about this now considering the earliest complaints I found with limited searching date back to a month ago. Needless to say, it has become fully unreliable, so it's time to remove it.

[mufos-photo-album]

Deviating from my usual posting content to share this, since I'm under the impression the Sky community is trans-friendly and thus may or may not be in the audience of people who use Shinigami Eyes.

As the person above me mentions, this not just a fluke. I had a look and the Firefox review page has very consistent comments noting discrimination against the non-binary, intersex, transmasc, and people of color. I dug around a bit more and found some similar complaints dating from around 2 months ago (potentially even 6?)

[thefloatingstone]

Shinegami eyes is and always has been somebody's personal callout post against people they dislike and think you should bully because they're acceptable targets in the form of a plugin. And the only reason people accepted it was BECAUSE it's a plugin and not a traditional callout post.

hey these are some tips for some of the little details in drawing fat folks that some people might not know!

everyone has fat on their bodies so its a worthwhile skill to have, but most art tutorials leave it out. heres some other good tips from artists!!

the strawberry patch

as requested- my zine about fat and plus size body types from instagram!💖 happy drawing everyone!

fat bodies tutorial!

ALRIGHT SO my pal @kalreyno wanted help with drawing fat characters and as a fat artist i felt like i could give a bit of helpful insight on

hometownrockstar

some notes on drawing fat bodies in a stylized or cartoony art style! i tried to explain and illustrate things i keep in mind while drawing

how to draw fat faces and necks better

something i notice a lot with artists trying to draw fat people is that even if they get the bodies decent they often draw the heads and nec

[fatphobiabusters]

Also, please don't forget to draw fat necks. When I search for fat art, oftentimes the lack of a fat neck makes a character not look fat anymore because the artist basically just drew a skinny person from the shoulders up.

A resource I suggest is fatphotoref. You can also look at fat positive blogs for tons of photos and drawings that can help you learn how fat bodies look in different poses. Tags you can search on this blog include fat art, fatshion, fat athletes, and fat masc. Those tags are probably the best if you're wanting to use fatphobiabusters for pictures to help you learn how to draw fat people. Another tip I have heard a fat artist mention before is if you are fat yourself, use yourself as a reference photo. I hope this helps!

-Mod Worthy

[britomartis]

Just wanted to tack this on for the sake of more reference, @adorkastock has a good bank of more high profile fat references with the model Lauren Ashley, here: https://www.tumblr.com/adorkastock/tagged/lauren%20ashley

Some refs will be paid, of course, since it's an indie stock photo company. But, it's often hard to find high profile fat people depicted at all, let alone kindly, and the people running it seem to be willing to take requests/recommendations for pose packs? (Sorry adorkastock if I'm wrong lol)

[adorkastock]

Yes! Always open for suggestions! Though I am my own model like 90% of the time. LA is a regular model in rotation and I add new poses to my site gallery 3x/week. ♥

My aesthetic is like dark academia but the medieval Iranian / Islamic golden age version

[gvtbvsterisback]

It's all fictional until it's not. A ton of these freaks will go on to actually harm people inspired by this fiction of yours. I don't know about you but I'm not in favor of kids being assaulted because people want to read creepy shit.

Same argument people used about violent video games and the satanic panic with dungeons and dragons before that. History really does repeat itself.

If someone reads an obviously fake story and goes out to enact that, that person was already willing to.

With all the worry people had over violent video games, studies were done that show no real evidence video games cause violence so why would any other fiction cause a person to commit real offenses

[genderkoolaid]

i simply don't think nonbinary people should have to see having our gender/s respected and acknowledged as a luxury. i think it's frankly sickening that that's the state of things tbh.

[genderkoolaid]

sorry i just think that the fact that popular binary jokes are stuff like "god isn't it so much better to exist as my gender, i didn't even realize how incredibly depressed i was until i transitioned, my life is so much more rich and colorful now that im out and transitioning :)" and popular nonbinary jokes are stuff like "i think i might be nonbinary but that doesn't matter because i have real adult concerns and no one would respect it anyways lol" and that's. normal and funny and cool. yeah. clenches teeth so hard they turn to dust

[genderkoolaid]

happy nonbinary people's day. treat every nonbinary person you meet with as much compassion and respect as you possibly can or ill grind YOUR teeth to dust.

[avonsdrabbles]

Just to give some positivity to those in the tags:

I’m an openly nonbinary (genderfluid/genderqueer) teacher who goes by Mx. I use they/them pronouns as well as whatever pronoun fits that day (either he/him or she/her, depending on where the fluidity takes me). And while there’s been a lot of bumps in the road, my coworkers do their absolute best to respect it. My students have been so incredibly respectful about it; many of them ask my pronouns because I wear a button that says to.

I know shit sucks, esp right now. So. Take that as at least a small bit of joy.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

y'all know that whole left-brained/right-brained thing is fake right? and the "brain fully develops at age 25" thing? and the "we only use 10% of our brains" thing? yeah they're all complete horseshit please yell at anyone who says them

[dragon-in-a-fez]

okay people are doing nuance in the notes about the kernels of truth in neuroscience myths but I really really need you to understand that that is not important here. people don't believe there are "right-brained" and "left-brained" people because they've misunderstood lateralisation of the central nervous system, they believe it because that binary framework was deliberately pushed by people who wanted to define who was logical enough to lead, and surprise surprise, white adult heterosexual men are left-brained. people don't believe the brain "finishes developing at 25" because they've misunderstood life stage differences in neuroplasticity, they believe it because the idea that children, teens, and young adults have inferior brains is a convenient rationalisation for a society that marginalises them. people don't believe you "only use 10% of your brain" because they misread an fMRI study, they believe it because it's useful bullshit for everyone from hyperindividualist historical revisionists pushing the great genius concept of scientific progress to hucksters recruiting for cults that will teach you to unlock your latent telekinesis for just $5000 a month. that's why it's fucking important to know that many popular science ideas are false and to push back on them loudly and frequently, because they're not just mildly incorrect, they are often active components of systems of violence.

[tofupixel]

had a shower to relax and just argued with myself in my head the whole time 😊💕

[demonprincex]

In ~these times~ it is important for queer people to be reminded of what "coming out" originally meant. "Coming out" did not mean telling all of your co-workers something super stigmatized and vulnerable about you, wearing your queer status on your sleeve in public, informing the police or government institutions about your sexuality, or even telling your parents. "Coming out" meant venturing out into the queer community; being among other queers as a queer yourself.

Coming out isn't about telling the entire world when doing so is not safe for you, it's not about arming your enemies with information they could use against you. No, coming out is about making a fulfilling queer life possible for yourself through participation in the queer community. It is about escaping the restrictions and dangers of the cisgender heterosexual world by rooting oneself more deeply into the queer one.

And you can always do that. No matter how oppressed we are. No matter how much the culture shifts and policies are enacted to terrorize us. We are always able to be ourselves when we are amongst each other. And living our queerness has always been a collective social project, not just a matter of personal exposure.

@gatheredfates has had me playing with dividers for the bulk of the evening. She's inspiring like that!! But it has made me want to overhaul the matching ones that I've been using for literal years! I wanted to make some somewhat non-character centric ones that everyone could use if they were so inclined to do so.

So if you like these and want to use these to break up your blog pages, go for it!

(Credit when you use these is appreciated, but not required)

The above images are only samples of the many dividers I've made at this point. There is a full gallery in the links below that I'm continuously uploading. Please feel free to use them as much as you like!!
