Derin, how long did you procrastinate writing whilst putting this together?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

That's not important.

i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

[dhia-dreaming]

And once I was told "if you don't agree with their actions, why do you seek their approval"

[hejjhug]

today I saw someone pushing the idea that Maria in the movie adaptation is better because she's not terminally ill so she's like a "normal girl" which makes her death more "tragic" and this was on reddit and it got 12k upvotes without a single mention of how ableist that is

and i'd call this a "common reddit L" if not for the fact that I've also seen this idea pushed on Tumblr too. And it makes me wanna KILL SOMEONE! TELLING ON YOURSELF, TRULY, ABOUT WHO YOU DO AND DON'T VALUE IN THE WORLD! that movie and its fans make me foam at the fucking mouth, man.

Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:

Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."

It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.

 I was bored saw many comments about how Jax being trans "came out of nowhere", so I wanted to make this post proving the opposite.

Episode 5:

During the bar scene Jax laughs and makes a comment about Zooble being a tattoo artist and a bartender, two queer stereotyped jobs. Thing is, this is pretty insider knowledge since these stereotypes are not as widely known in mainstream cis-het spaces.

When Jax called his tail as the 'pinnacle of masculinity', he finds out it's missing.

And more importantly, there's the Jax maid scene.

First he acted infurated, but as he shifted attention to other stuff, he acted quite comfortable in it.

There's the fact that while Evil Ragatha told Ragatha nobody loved her, Evil Jax told Jax he looked good in the maid outfit, being a possible reflection of his internal and repressed thoughts.

Episode 6:

Jax, when pushed by Pomni, says "you think I'm a misunderstood chicken fetus in an egg that is waiting to be cracked open!", and for those who don't know, egg is trans slang for someone who is trans but is not conscious about it, and cracking open is realizing it.

Episode 7:

Jax is the only who didn't want to wear a swimsuit and expose his body, something common in people with dysphoria

He also talked about Zooble's ability to change their own body with a grain of envy.

One of the most explicit details is Jax's room, which looks like that of a small girl, and since apparently the characters can't design their rooms, it could be based on Jax's mind.

Episode 9:

There's the song "isn't she lovely?", which talks about the birth of a woman, with Jax moments playing at the same time. Really explicit.

I hate the stupid fucking discussion surrounding transfem jax "coming out of nowhere" because one, no it didn't. and two, I think any author at any point in their story should be able to say "this character is transgender" and have that be accepted regardless of whether or not there was any setup.

Trans people are not a monolith and their indentities shouldn't have to be accepted off whether or not you were able to tell that they were trans. Trans people don't have to "make sense". And trying to erase or diminish trans characters who don't "make sense" only harms more real trans people in the process.

the no kink at pride thing is really funny bc have you ever heard anyone say “no kink at halloween” or does everyone just think queer people are uniquely perverted and should be censored 🤔 i think it’s the latter…

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.

having free control over our endrocrine systems and the ability to change our genitals is currently inextricably tied to trans rights, and for good reason, but frankly i don't think it even needs to be. it should just be a matter of bodily autonomy, and that should be universal. if a cis dude wants tits and a pussy i think that would be fine. if cis women want a dick or nothing at all that should be allowed i think. people shouldn't need to be transgender to be allowed to change their bodies. free the nipple, enlarge the nipple, remove the nipple. whatever the fuck you want. i dont know if there's a term for this belief but i hold it very strongly. everybody biohack yourselves NOW

By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.

We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.

Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

the thing is depression was never destigmatized the narrative just switched from “no one has depression you’re just using it as an excuse” to “everyone has depression you’re just using it as an excuse”
