Hey y’all, I’m opening up commissions! keep an eye on the blog description where I’ll keep you updated with when commissions are open or closed

If you’re interested in commissioning me for a drawing, email me at [email protected] with a description of what you’re looking for and we can talk shop!

Thanks yall, have a nice day!

Basically I think a lot of White ppl think the antithesis to racism is "Black people are inherently Cool, White people are inherently Lame" and it's just very hard to convince them that this is also extremely racist lmfao

[biracy]

It's the combination of "seeing a racialized group as Fundamentally Inherently Good is still dehumanizing and you aren't seeing them as people" and "your self-flagellating White guilt is extremely annoying for the people of color around you to deal with"

Thinking about a vampire dude bro who won't drink girl blood- because he's afraid it will estroginise him soy products style- getting trapped in a mental cage when he learns vampire dude who only bites other dudes reads as gay

if i couldn't have any of the obvious first choice superpowers i would want my power to be the power of i can go anywhere and its not a problem. the way this power would work is that as long as im peaceful and respectful i can go anywhere and nobody will see it as weird or see me as a target for hostility. i can walk into a cool house to politely peep the decor or walk into a tall office building to politely peep the decor or walk around a city at night alone to politely peep the decor or walk into a strange facility to politely peep the decor or walk onto a plane and ride the plane to its destination and then walk around there to politely peep the decor and its fine as long as im chill. no need to make me faster or anything i can just walk at a normal pace. its good for the soul.

[heedra]

first choice superpower is of course to be the thing from The Thing except im friendly and my superhero name is Mystery Meat

[meyerlansky]

just. please know. that giffing scenes like that is a fucking nightmare labor of love.

to wit:

bottom's the raw capture, middle's just flat curve correction to make the footage visible, top is the final coloring with /counts seven adjustment layers to add back in Literally Anything But Yellow

every giffer i know does it out of love for the game, but for the record it's not... easy. it's not just slapping the footage in a cap grabber and posting whatever it spits out. "professional" lighting and color grading has only gotten waaay murkier and flatter in the fifteen years i've been giffing on here, so uh. don't repost gifs, please!

[infiniteeight8]

I thought the bottom was a black bar. I didn't even realize that was footage.

Everyone say thank you to your neighbourhood GIF maker! Giffers are so important to the fannish ecosystem, but to so many people the amount of work involved invisible.

1) any stretching is better than no stretching

2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable

3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

please write your erotica with care i cant get off without several hundred words of sociological analysis

[tamaharu]

my god you people are so boring this isnt about making characters talk about their trauma this is about UNEXAMINED GENDER POLITICS in CROSSDRESSING PORN. for the characters themselves sex should be - and write this down - physically and/or psychologically damaging to all those participating. jesus christ.

Truth Coming Out of Her Well to Shame Mankind, 1896 by Jean-Léon Gérôme

[seekers-whoarelovers-deactivate]

I’ve been thinking a lot about it and this is literally the best title of anything

[cumaeansibyl]

so I guess it was some ancient Greek who said “truth lives at the bottom of a well” and I don’t know what he meant or why it stuck, but I’ve seen a lot of 19th-century references to it (because people always love showing off how much they know about stuff)

but I like this because imagine how fucking pissed off you would be if you lived at the bottom of a well in the first place, but then you had to climb all the way out of it somehow because humans were such unbelievable assholes that you were forced to yell at them in person

[autumngracy]

Rocket scientists who leave the rocket industry keep thinking everything is a rocket and it's kind of adorable

[literallymechanical]

"We can honeycomb this to reduce the weight" sweetie no that's going to be twice as expensive to manufacture and we are not launching it anywhere.

[literallymechanical]

"If we use titanium instead of steel we'll save a bunch of weight" baby you need to stop worrying so much about your weight! And maybe worry more about what happens to titanium when you expose it to deuterium plasma.

One of the things I love about watching people make art on the internet is clocking the way they use the tools they know. The way a nail artist makes miniatures is completely different than the way a polymer clay artist does the same thing. How a whittler and a painter approach printmaking.

Consider the ways in which you are a rocket engineer.

[hasufin]

*studied process optimization in computer science*

*looks at recipes I have rewritten to simplify and reduce steps*

I was NOT expecting to be called out like this.

[intersexelphie]

I want to boost everything this person has said and add on.

The reason I call myself a tomboy now, despite it being seen as a childish word and having had someone swear at me over it because ‘tHeRe’S nO suCh thInG as BoY thInGs anD giRL thIngS sHut uP’ is because I couldn’t call myself that or be like that when I was a kid. It was seen as a negative thing and I was already bullied enough. “Looking like a boy” was the worst thing that could happen to a girl.

And I’m not even 26 yet. We aren’t talking 30+ years ago, we are talking 2000s and even 2010s. It’s only since trans people have become more accepted in the past few years that gender nonconformity has too.

And the people who helped me accept my gender nonconformity more than anyone else? Were trans people. They taught me, “there’s nothing wrong with how you feel. You’re still a valid woman no matter what you wear, how you have your hair or what you’re into ❤️”

And don’t even get me started on how people treat gender nonconforming men. JK Rowling has a lot of nerve to be like “uwu boys can wear dresses and only us gendercrits accept that!” when she has, even in recent works, made femininity in men a negative trait, as well as making masculinity in women a negative trait also.

A lot of people still don’t accept gnc people even now. Just last year I had someone tell me they’d never let their daughter “dress like a boy”, and I’m always terrified to walk into a bathroom in case the next JK Rowling is in there, sees my gender expression and pepper sprays me or worse.

“There’s no such thing as boy things and girl things.” I don’t need to be told that and I’m sure 99% of trans people also don’t need to be told that. Tell that to the society that hates us both instead of actively encouraging that hate.

[androgynealienfemme]

Gonna point out the og tweet thread is now full of terfs saying that life was better for gay people in the fucking 80s, that it was super easy for them to be a tomboy in the 70s and 80s and therefore it must have been that way for everyone, and that it was totally acceptable to be a gnc gay person in the 80s! 🤪

They’re rewriting history as we speak to try to argue trans acceptance is making it harder to be gay and gnc for youth than it was to be gay in the 80s. This is a blatant lie.

[trans-mask-left]

The fucking 80s??? As in, “aids crisis” 80s?? As in, “the government actively avoided funding research to help gay people” 80s????

Man I knew terfism was brain rot but I didn’t think it was this bad.

Actually I'm not going to just keep this in the tags

I do increasingly want to make an ace and aro anthology where cozy slice of life is OUT and Bad Rep™ is IN. Give me your aro and ace nonhumans, your alien species where no one has invented romance and sex doesn’t exist, your loners, your grouchy bad-attitude assholes, your hackers who feel more affinity with computers than other people, your characters who are deeply hurt when others abandon them for their romantic partners and are not gracious about it, your people who feel outside of their society, your characters who make bad and selfish decisions and conversely your characters who are dramatically self sacrificing. Give me military SF and postapocalypse and angst and drama and stories where a small research team goes to a distant planet and everybody fuckin dies. Give me ace characters who aren’t patient or understanding and aro characters who do not give a shit about romance, fictional or otherwise. Give me aroaces who decide to take fate into their own hands and bomb Mercury about it

[grammarpedant]

I WOULD SUBMIT STORIES TO THIS ANTHOLOGY

[truffle-worm]

Just in time for aromantic visibility day (technically i'm 2 hours early but whatever i'm posting it now). Stan twins are both aro to me. Happy pride!
