Just a moth

I'm here for the shenanigans and tomfoolery

[mothusingtheinternet]

Hey folks - pinned post!

Call me any variation of my user, or that of my other account: @scrollwyrm (mostly inactive)

Pronouns change regularly because I’m genderfluid - just use they/them if you’re unsure.

I’m currently obsessing over Sherlock & Co., but I love the original Holmes books too. Sorry, I basically only have those going for me right now.

Drop me an ask anytime!! I love reading them. Talk to me about whatever, it’s always chill.

Please be nice. This doesn’t mean you can’t set me straight if I accidentally say something fucked up: I encourage it. It’s just that I’m in a rough place, mentally, and I’d rather you be gentle with me.

Tumblr, the monopoly ad keeps stealing my scroll autonomy. Put it down.

[ID 1: drawing of four non-descript characters smiling lined up, three of them have pale skin while one has brown skin and a more mischievous expression, the characters has text pointed to them reading “that one character that gets the melanin because they’re angry/agressive” End ID]

[ID 2: drawing of four non-descript characters lined up, three of them have varied brown skin and expressions while one has pale skin and a more calm smile, the characters has text pointed to them reading “that one character that gets less of the melanin because they’re passive/calm/fancier” End ID]

This and "that one character that gets darker skin because they are masculine"

(Also, a side not to consider is that there are good / pleasing designs that aren't super reliant on super high contrast. Don't get me wrong. Contrast is great and I love it but I think sometimes design gets a bit more complicated then "you always need to use the most high contrast thing possible. Obviously, don't make all your characters a single color blob but making a character I walking polkadate rainbow in the name of "contrast" wouldn't inherently be good either).

Also, it's weird that this is happening (although less frequently (even to now) but I loathe those fucking jokes where a character "can say the n-word" or "dresses up as a black character" because they have a tan now. IDK how to explain it perfectly other than the fact that they aren't even Black makes a lot of these jokes weird enough.

Just because I don't want to be solely negative here's a long stream of advice from Twitter about drawing Darker skin and stuff

Here are some bonus tips if you find people say you keep making your skin look ashy unintentionally

Here's some basic tips for hair

That's all for now. One day I will make a complete and articulated article containing all the basic advice found here and a video too but until then thanks for reading.

Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

I have a headcanon that the victims of the Lonely have their eyes covered over (?overgrown?), because there's nothing more lonely than blindness Plus that's why Lucas was willing to cooperate with Elias — the Eye had less power

two spirit is not a "native version" of anything

its not a "native version of nonbinary" or a "native version of bigender"

thats not what it means, that’s not what it’s ever meant

two spirit is an pan-tribal term coined by indigenous people in 1990, for indigenous people, to replace the term berdache, an offensive term that white settlers applied to indigenous people that fell outside of the western lens of gender and sexuality

two spirit isnt a "native version of nonbinary" because two spirit doesnt inherently mean someone is nonbinary. some of us are, but so many two spirited people arent. many people in our community also choose specifically not to label themselves with terms like nonbinary, gay, bisexual, etc, and solely use two spirit or another term from their tribe or language

we can be anything and everything and nothing you've ever imagined

to say its a "native version of nonbinary" is not just inaccurate, it's a complete erasure of a massive part of our community

the fact that this scene was never added to the graphic novels will always be a crime to me (written scene below the cut)

i am a simple person, and this scene will always, always, be funny to me.

Keeping this brief because I really don’t know what to say.

My doctor said that I shouldn’t be on social media anymore, because she doesn’t want me jeopardising my mental health - not that it’s bad or anything, she just worries it will be if I’m online at all.

I’ve got a few posts queued up, and it’ll only be two months, if all goes well. Only problem is that if anything bad happens over the course of my ‘prescription’ (her words), she’ll probably elongate that.

My discord is scr0llwyrm_56933, and anyone can come and talk to me there, ESPECIALLY my mutuals and friends.

My asks are up until 23:59 (UK time) tomorrow, feel free to send me any questions, contact info for those without discord - not that you have to, I’m sure most of you don’t need to hear my rambling that badly (although dms are preferable if it’s personal), or (temporary) goodbyes.
