Reconsider the idea that some trans people are inherently “the bad ones” and 2. Stop hating people based on intrinsic and unchangeable aspects of their personhood

New commission image

prices are the same (20 USD flat outline, 20 USD to add color, 10 USD to add shading, and 10 USD to add a background). Like before, adding another character costs half the price, and anything nsfw makes the image twice as expensive.

Dragons no longer cost extra, and will instead cost the default character price, in case you wanted a dragon but weren't willing to pay extra for scale detailing.

I really hope you'll consider commissioning me!

My girlfriend: the next season of vanguard should be trans yuri

I have a theory. About deltarune.

Mr. Fox says that there’s just one ending, but also says “there’s more important things than reaching the end”

I think

The ending might be a bad one

Cause

Theorization has been going on, that you can twist the normal and weird routes together into a third, distinct route

And I don’t think that route would have a happy ending.

A lot of the time, a game will allow you to play multiple routes to unlock a “true route”. And usually that route is happier than the others

But what if it was worse

What if that ending, the thing so many people strive for, is an unambiguously bad thing compared to what would happen if you just stopped playing the game after the normal route?

I feel like… it would be a sort of similar situation to undertale.

The genocide route was completely optional.

But so many people played it anyways.

Even though it makes the ending, the story, the lives of the characters, unimaginably worse

They wanted completion

And I think, that desire for completion might be what the fox is challenging.

The idea that, if you have an option to do something in a story, then you have to.

I’ve seen people complain about undertale before.

That, “why would the story try to make us feel bad for doing something it made us do?”

But that’s the thing.

It didn’t make you do anything.

You can put down the game at any point

You don’t have to reach the end

And maybe… you don’t want to.

When you wanna look at content of your ot3, but it’s a polyship from a somewhat obscure portion of a somewhat obscure series so the only fic for it is the one you wrote.

I have attained Thoughts from the newest issue of paralactic beginnings.

Ok so. Just, looking at what they're doing with Taizo and Kyohma, it seems like they're more willing to brush closer with queer themes in the manga than they have been in recent anime (Like, the yaoi is strong in these two, significantly more so than in the anime where it was lightly implied, now it's extremely heavy on the implication.) This, paired with a pretty clear Yuri angle coming from Ghost meets Gal, seems to suggest they're more willing to be at least somewhat explicit in queer rep in their manga than the main anime.

And that's making me wonder things. If you have followed this blog, you probably have a guess as to what things I might wonder.

Is trans Yuyu possible?

Cause, Yuyu hasn't been mentioned or even implied at this point in the arc, and while it's possible to have them not there by virtue of being in Paris, it feels kinda weird to just not have the first D series protagonist play a role in the arc that ends the D series, y'know?

And I'm thinking. Something that would most likely position Yuyu as in favor of the fantome reality compared to the original reality, could be not wanting to go back in the closet.

I've seen a really good design of a Lyrical Fantome Yuyu based on a mix of the First Dress manga (Which also was a manga that went a lot further with queer themes than the concurrent anime, so, one more point to that theory) and the cross dress design from season 1, so that may have inspired this at least partially, but I don't know, it just feels like it would make sense?

A version of Yuyu who was able to come out and live openly as herself, it feels like that would put her in a situation where she'd be willing to fight for this world, compared to one where, sure, she's happy, she has friends, but she's also still stuck in the closet.

I don't know, I really like the idea of a Yuyu who's more open with herself, and the manga's most recent chapter has reignited hope that it could be possible.

Ok so they have been officially stated to be partners, so, I feel like that does at least somewhat confirm that the manga is where they’re putting the gay stuff. Neat.

made a transfem yuyu fic to go with my thoughts

Having boobs doesn’t make someone inherently sexual. Just so you’re aware.

Having large boobs doesn’t make someone inherently sexual. Just so you know.

A person can have massive boobs and it doesn’t make them any more sexual than anyone else

A fictional character can be drawn with large boobs and it doesn’t make them overly sexualized, it just means they have a body type.

Bodies are bodies, body shaming is bad.

Fruit program will return... eventually, I think. losing access to my old laptop really messed up my work flow, tbh. For now, have this drawing of Eve (without all the fancy synthederm and makeup needed to let her pass as human).

Hello. Question for plural folks following me (I know there’s at least 3). If you have knowledge of Xenoblade chronicles 2, what do you think of the plural representation it features? Cause from what I’ve seen it seems pretty good (not perfect, but fictional plural representation rarely is), but my perspective on plurality is an outside one, so, I thought, if anyone who has an insider perspective on this wanted to comment, that could be neat.

So I was looking through the tags for a game I like, looking for some cute poly stuff (This game is one of the few pieces of popular media that has canon polyamory(though it was technically only explicitly confirmed in the sequel(before that it was just heavily implied))), and. I think people at large need to learn the difference between "attractive" and "sexualized" when it comes to discussing characters (and also real people, but that's a whole other thing).

You finding a character attractive does not make them badly written and I wish less people assumed it did. I've seen it so many times, especially in faux progressive and faux feminist circles, where they'll say a female character is sexualized not based on her characteristics, or how she's treated in the plot- they say she's a cheap sex object because she has large boobs. That's... that's almost always it. Just, this overwhelming idea that "woman with boobs=whore"

let's look at another game with this problem in their fandom- persona 5. Ann Takamaki is a character with an amazing arc that delves into such themes as the normalization of sexual harassment, the fetishization of biracial people, and of course, a core tenant of her character and arc is reclaiming her own sexuality.

Most of the fandom just calls her a slut and ignores all of this. Ann is a victim of consistent sexual harassment, implied to go as far as sexual assault, and almost rape. this is all ignored, and the character and her arc are said to only exist for fanservice because "She's blonde and has boobs" (Again, the fact that she's fetishized for her blonde hair as it's seen as an "exotic" feature is a major part of her arc.)

and looking at the game that triggered this whole thing- xenoblade chronicles 2. Yes, many of the female characters are attractive. And they are also all fleshed out to the full extent that their story role allows for them. Major characters get consistent and in-depth characterization, and even side characters and optional party members get a fair bit of unique character to them. But one of them has exaggerated jiggle physics, so I guess the whole game is worthless now. Never mind that pyra and mythra are not only shockingly good plurality rep coming from a triple a title, never mind that they're incredibly deep, complex, and rich characters with layers upon layers of personality, no, they have boobs so they suck.

I think I can put it simply as this: If you see a complex and nuanced character and decide that she's "Just a sex object" cause she meets some arbitrary beauty standard, the authors aren't the ones reducing the character to a sex object.

That's all you.

Y’all ever think about how Sena being morag and brighid’s daughter means that someday she’ll have to deal with losing both of her moms on the same day?

Was thinking about what Pokémon entropic float characters might have and the first idea that popped into my head was too funny not to share.

Amelie would have a hattrem because it’s cute and pink and murders people :3

[infinity-squared-comics]

do you see my vision?

[infinity-squared-comics]

my second idea for entropic float characters' pokemon- Rashmi would have a hisuian lilligant I think cause it's androgynous and a dancer, and typically people expect petilils to evolve into the feminine unovan variant, but this one doesn't and that's cool I think. Much like Rashmi, who is also cool and nonbinary.

Remembering a post I saw once that was like “people get mad at me when I say Kris deltarune should be confirmed as explicitly transfem but then reblog art where they have a binder or experience pms” and first off those hypothetical people are right, there’s no reason to ask a character’s agab, just like there’s no reason to ask a person irl their agab, that information is pretty much entirely useless, but also, having boobs and experiencing pms are… things that estrogen very famously does. Like, this person’s evidence that people were somehow “forcing a transmasc interpretation down their throat” was that they drew Kris with traits that a non-binary person could have regardless of agab.

It just… I remembered this and it annoyed me, so I’m making a post about it.
