I'm a small artist, drawing is my hobby. She/her. Russian or English. No commissions, but will do gifts (free arts) and also I'm open to trade (you draw my OC, I draw yours, everyone is happy).
I decided to do a Welcome post because I don't want to be seen as a ghost on the internet. Also I see a lot of people doing this.

So hello! :P
My name: Stacy, but call me however you see fit (as long as it's not a documented insult, the reason is obvious).
My age: Currently 18 years old.
My favorite colors: Any blue and any warm yellow/orange.
My hobbies: Digital drawing, writing and playing computer games.
Likes: Chocolate, any music as long as it doesn't hurt my ears (too loud or too fast-paced lyrics), nice people, Lolita fashion, cats, foxes and underwater kingdom (which is pretty ironic, knowing that I have a fear of ocean depths).
Dislikes: Jerks (people who actively ruin the day for everyone around them for fun/people who refuse to apologize for their problematic behavior, trying to justify it with mental issues), loud sounds, desserts topped with sugar granules (they hurt my teeth).
Fandoms: Constantly hopping between them. But Gravity Falls, Undertale and Deltarune are probably with me forever. They've been there for a while.
Any person deserves good treatment unless they prove otherwise with their actions. Period.
Main principles:
"If you're good, nothing will taint you, if you're bad, nothing will saint you." If the person did nothing wrong, their race, orientation, gender, disabilities, fandoms, hobbies, etc. shouldn't ruin their life, and vice versa (to people who think that if you're a minority, you can get away with anything).
I find it really hella funny when people forget that English is not the only language in the world.
In this case, the dude forgot that Russian exists (for context, Kris and Chris in Russian spell exactly the same, there's no difference at all, so I genuinely thought the kid's name is spelled like Chris in English)

Pretty often see the point "well if they were a victim themselves they wouldn't put down other victims so it means that they're actually an abuser and are lying about what happened to them" both in various drama and different fandom character discussions.
And it only shows how little people understand about trauma. Like... "Victim" doesn't mean "angel who can do nothing wrong". "Victim" means "an alive being who was subjected to a traumatizing event or a series of traumatizing events either by another alive being or by their environment".
Abuser and victim are NOT a binary. Just because the victim is not a sweet and innocent honey bun doesn't mean that they're lying about what they've been through. Yes they did harm. Yes harm was done to them too. It's not mutually exclusive. They should get help, own up to their mistakes and do better from now on as most of the time it's impossible to undo the harm caused. You can't just make someone less traumatized about what you've did, or unkill a person, or unbreak someone's relationship.
Same for the abuser, they can be the sweetest thing on earth but it does not undo the harm they've inflicted on others and it doesn't mean that their victim is lying. "Oh but they're so cute, they don't behave like someone who can do this!" yes and they also broke several lives but apparently it's okay because they're cute in public, cuties can do whatever.
It's easier for people to assign one party as the abuser and the other as the innocent victim instead of understanding that such situations are usually more complex than that, and also expect that the party assigned as the abuser will fix 100% of the damage to earn forgiveness (again, most of the time it's impossible, but people will go "oh but their victims still exist so no redemption for them they're still terrible and must die", like are you expecting them to lobotomize their victims so they would not be traumatized anymore or what).
if you receive this, you make somebody happy! go on anon and send this to ten of your followers who make you happy or somebody you think needs cheering up. if you get one back, even better!!! (āā Ö āā)ā”
I believe that Tumblr is getting slowed in Russia. I'm... Frustrated and annoyed because I want to see what my moots post WITHOUT having to turn on VPN.
I've been thinking about stuff for a while, and I noticed something.
Like... I'm a girl, and I love it. I like dresses, I like cute accessories, I would do make-up if I knew how to do it beautifully. I'm happy that I was born a girl, I'm proudly calling myself "a woman" and "she/her" fits like a glove.
But at the same time, I love gender neutral presentation. I feel good when people see me in gender neutral way. I feel really good when I'm called just "a person" or "a human", and "they/them" sounds just as natural as "she/her".
Taking all this into consideration, I've came to a conclusion. I'm not just aroace.
Fun fact - before this banner, whil I was making an introduction post, I made a "I'm a cis girl" banner but decided not to put it in the post. Well... Good thing I didn't, lol.
