ofmd is like not comedy as in sitcom but comedy as in shakespearean where it’s psychological trauma and conflicts of violence but with dick jokes and the promise of marriage in the end
i promise you that white man is not underrated
medieval pride parade!
(prints)
this is so freaking cute
have some medieval queer books to go with:
Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Haigiography
Hild by Nicola Griffith
Nicked by M.T. Anderson
A step-by-step guide to drawing mice, from a 1913 book entitled What to Draw and How to Draw it. More drawing instruction from this book, plus a 1935 follow-up by the same author, here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/what-to-draw-and-how-to-draw-it-1913
Since it's Pride Month, I'm gonna need everyone to pick up a fucking book and actually read about Marsha P. Johnson, Larry Kramer, Stormé DeLarverie, Sylvia Rivera, Audre Lord, Bayard Rustin, and Leslie Feinburg.
Remember it was Black trans women, drag queens, trans men, drag kings, lesbians, and genderqueer folk who spearheaded the queer liberation movement while being continuously thrown under the bus by their own communities. And that's just in The West! There are and have been queer liberation movements all over the world, including Nigeria and Pakistan! The queer liberation movement did not begin with white gay men and white gay men were not the only people putting their lives on the line for the advancement of queer rights! It's just that anyone who isn't a white gay man is constantly being erased from the conversation.
None of you would be on the Internet yelling about how your favorite fictional White Gay Man (TM) is actually a world weary threw the first brick at Stonewall queer elder or whatever the fuck if it wasn't for all those Black trans women you're pointedly ignoring the existence of. Queer entertainment as we know it wouldn't exist if it wasn't for movies like To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.
why you should care about theresa even if you ship hansry: a fever-rant
I've been writing Hansry since April 2018. But my first KCD fic ever was about Theresa.
You know what drives me nuts about this girl?
It's because even though she loves him, cares for him, worries about him, and arguably even (emotionally) needs him alive: Henry isn't what she wants.
The Theresa we come to know in KCD, the one who exists in the aftermath of disaster, cares SO much for this lad. She shows it in her actions more than her words, which can be restrained and remote, emotionally unavailable. But that is a recent development.
Frankly: She lived her entire life in Skalitz with him as an afterthought.
To Tess, he wasn't a main character in anyone's story. He wasn't the object of her unflinching desire or her obsession. He was always just stupid old Hal under the castle hill. Martin & Jane's son from up at the smithy. Some passable, foolish, cute-enough dude who was fooling around with her bestie (blech!). As for many young adult women, it was not any boy or crush or marriage prospect, but her friends, especially BIANCA, who were the huge social presence in her life. Not Henry, and probably never Henry... except for what happened.
What drives me so nuts about this is that though Tess and Henry seem confused about their romantic connection, they have one clarity: each anchors the other in the past. But they do so from completely different angles, and to completely different ends.
the carthaginians weren't black
oh my fucking god you people are all so stupid. you're straw manning. nobody is saying that everyone in Carthage was Black. there were, however, Black people in Carthage! as attested in both the archeological and written historical record, we know that there were a not-insignificant number of Black people in North Africa in the premodern past. you would have to be both stupid and racist to say that's not the case when Herodotus, Virgil, Pliny, etc., etc., as well as an extensive scholarly discourse across multiple fields, all make note of the presence of Black African people in contact with premodern Greece and Rome. it is quite literally just an extremely straightforward and easily verifiable historical fact. I'd ask if you know how to read, so you could check out the wealth of readily available premodern encyclopedic and historical texts to provide you with primary sources, but clearly your critical thinking skills are lacking
Wish kcd2 would make you skip to a mission scene the amount of death you keep dying in a battle.
#487
ok wait I think I got it. I think they’re saying, if you die a certain number of times during a battle, the game should just pity progress you forward to the next mission scene.
Thank your for parsing that because I genuinely could not derive a scrap of meaning from it.
That said, um, anon. It's a game. A fundamentally interactive piece of media. Sounds like anon might be happier watching scene packs on youtube.
The levels of traditional Chinese architecture by 扇子有画
There's this weird tendency among fandom types where they'll take a character, and insist that they are fans of them, before changing their design, age, pronouns, backstory, blood type, species, hometown, favorite color, zodiac sign, medical history, and every other facet of their being.
They will then violently insist that this version is superior to the canon one and act like they "fixed" them and it's like. Buddy that's not the same character anymore. That's just your own oc commiting identity fraud. Like. I get the desire to experiment with different interpretations of a story. But first of all it's okay to just make an original character if that's what you really want to do. And second of all, are you even really a fan of the character you "fixed" if they're a completely different person afterwards?
Like. Idk dude for somebody who claims to be a fan you sure don't seem to like them as they are :/
Gonna remember "buddy that's not the character that's your OC committing identity fraud."

I admit the people who usually come to mind when I think of the racism of Europeans on this app are the MAGA: Greek Edition people, and all of the virulently antiblack and anti-native users who claim to be anti-imperialist communists and then you find out they're just white in England or France as if that gives them a moral leg up on anyone about imperialism and not being colonizers 🤣
In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.
Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?
Yeah it’s one of the options on the Contact Support form:
for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.
Hey it worked! Maybe if enough of us make a stink they’ll fix the fucking system.
hans in black from kcd1 I'll always miss you, you're so hot in this one
Oh- because I know whenever people feel sorry for the racism that I have to experience on this app, I get pictures of pets- those are very cute! However, as much as I appreciate the intent and the kindness, it is not a way to help me materially benefit the community I fight for!
If you'd really like to make me smile, send a picture of your pet... AND a screenshot of a $5 donation to a Black community need of your choice 🙏🏾 there are plenty of causes that could use the help! Active antiracism!
Can I suggest the Autistic People of Color Fund?
"people of color" and "Black" are not synonymous, but I suppose it will go to Black people included so 👍🏾
Yeah I'm Black and that occurred to me but I thought I'd try!
