Tumblr actively hunts down and deletes legit trans womens blogs as a policy but encourages and cultivates porn bots that use stolen trans sex worker's content. This is propaganda and affects how we're viewed by other users, makes our own tags unusable for us, is unfathomably transmisogynistic, and reveals a lot about how staff views us. Our bodies are a commodity that they want on their website, but our words are not welcome.
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
Already know I wanna send this to people on June 1

The liberated Rungjani blood (souls?) being used to paint murals of rebel orcs in a liberated theater by a young Rungjani artist is sick as fuck actually.
I love how Gus's first reaction is "who's got my name in their mouth" energy when being told that someone finds him good.
i hate reddit as a whole but r/kitchenchads is the best fucking thing to come out of any website. look at these. look.
“i have had sex before” absolutely hysterical

Oh, Gus lost his lover in the war D':
Warning Sad Thoughts Incoming:
I wonder if he thought of/figured out how to bring his Knights back as Hounds of the King before or after his lover died? Or was he the first?
God, what’s worse? Having a way to bring a piece of the people you’ve lost back, but figuring it out too late to do it for the one you’d want it for the most? Or doing it, but realizing they don’t remember anything?
"How do you do it?" "There's not really a choice."
While I think part of Thimble and Thaisha being Thjazi's biggest defenders in the group scene can partially be ascribed to they're both being people relatively close to him who have not had to deal with trying to put together the pieces of his plan re: the paint et al., and all the machinations on his part that it exposed, I think there's more to it as well.
Thimble and Thaisha being the ones who defended Thjazi against Bolaire is also bolstered by the fact that they both knew Thjazi best in the context of his current work as a revolutionary.
Hal, and even to some extent Azune, seen to have largely been kept out of the loop on Thjazi's current activities. So they know Thjazi as a person but they were kept separate from his own actions and activities in the interest of keeping them both 'clean'. Murray largely knew him as a fence. Occtis was doing him a favor because Thjazi helped get him into magical school etc.
This was happening with everyone Thjazi was close with to some extent, as demonstrated by the cold open where he and Thimble agree to seperate their spheres of knowledge and influence, and in the fact that no one in the room had known about The Cloak and Thjazi being a part of it.
And yet Thimble was still his partner in crime. Thimble was able to arrange payment for the paints which means she had access to a substantial amount of their shared finances. They had stolen the Stone together recently.
Similarly not only was Thaisha tapped to aid Occtis in retrieving the coffin from Venatus, Thjazi also mentioned her as already moving to take action in the Fang brother's flashback right before the Rebellion. The two of them have kept in contact even through Hal and Thaisha's changing relationship and he clearly saw her as someone he could rely on, and I believe as someone with very similar goals and priorities (albeit on a different scale).
Which is all to say that I understand why the rest of the table had reasonable doubts about Thjazi's motive and methods.
But the people who knew him the best in the context that we're talking about- is the Thjazi of today someone who would sacrifice not just 5000 people in general, but a substantial portion of the Rungjani? Is he a person that would sacrifice his allies without warning, who would burn them on pyre for his own vision? Is he a person who would work with the Sundered Houses to any extent?
The people who knew Thjazi the revolutionary and most recently said 'No.'
I think that's worth keeping in mind.
yk what i hate though. is when i find a meme and im like THIS IS SO [cool intimidating mutual i never talk to] I SHOULD SEND IT TO THEM but then i remember ive never talked to them ever and so i cant just like give them a meme out of the blue and so the meme just withers and rots in my camera roll 😔
Reblog if a mutual who's never spoken to you can randomly send you memes that made them think of you.
Again. This is how tumblr works. Let yr id rule yr every tumblr moment.
I wish a fond farewell to Gus/Murray with Cooldown confirming he is gay but lovingly greet a platonic version where they continue to be insane in battles and talk intensely about destiny and public service and idealism and shit
MY FINGERS BARELY EVEN TOUCHED YOUR STUPID FUCKING AD STOP REDIRECTING ME TO THE APP STORE
and from Cooldown, Sam's T-shirt! Whitney Moore from when she did Birdemic!
