My take on human Cabby for the 3rd prompt on this list of prompts for disability pride month, which I recommend trying out if you also like to draw. I think being a congenital amputee is something that suits Cabby since she is someone who has never had legs,

i think MORE characters should be rape survivors. i think more characters should be csa survivors. i think more characters should be dv survivors. i think strong and noble and attractive and charming and brilliant characters with indomitable spirits should be survivors. i think the most powerful characters in the world should be survivors. i think characters who are cultural icons should be survivors. i think victims and survivors should see ourselves in the most admirable and beloved characters around! i think we should be protagonists!!!

#‘it’s so unnecessary’ . okay . god yea this one drives me CRAZY. people will yap all day long about how it's "unnecessary" to make a character a survivor like do you think it was necessary for any of us to be abused or raped irl? was it narratively essential? did it teach the audience an important lesson? why do we, who have to justify our experiences and existences and reactions all the time in real life, also have to justify why we should exist in fiction? people act so repulsed by the thought of us. i've really fully and truly had enough of that. there is nothing so uniquely disgusting or repulsive or unspeakable about our victimhood or our survival that justifies this obsession with keeping the reality of our existence hidden

"oh but talking about it can be triggering for victims :(((" you know what else is triggering? living in a world that insists that we cannot be open and honest about what happened to us. maybe if we had, oh, i don't know, prominent examples in our cultural stories of people who are victims and are competent and strong it might be easier (for everyone, not just victims) to have the discussions we actually need to have about our trauma.

Bitch that’s the tubby custard machine 😂 *image depicts a vast monstrous infernal engine using hundreds of spiderlike arms of black iron to shove the writhing bodies of naked, emaciated humans into its blazing maw*

Not to get on my fandom horse again, but I assure you that the only reason that the white western world loves and promotes The Odyssey so much more as a story, is because it's much easier to ignore its actual lessons and twist it into the White Everyman, the Return to Power, the Overcoming Hardship, the Reclaiming What Has Been Stolen, the Triumphant Return, to twist it into something that makes the basis of damn near every action movie starring a white man today.

Can't make a Good Soldier Willing to Die and Returning Home Triumphantly story out of crashout Achilles "I disrespected my direct supervisor to his face in front of the whole army and damned my entire team to die until my boyfriend was murdered, and then I died in battle", Son of Peleus, of The Iliad infamy. Can't inspire white men to respect orders and think war will make Men out of them (and thus money for you) with that 🤣

It's ALWAYS gonna come back around to WHY these are the stories chosen, and y'all know the answer!!

as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

we are witnessing the gentrification of the term "tumblr sexyman" in real time and it is extremely disappointing. like no, live-action white boy #265 played by ryan gosling isn't a tumblr sexyman. i can't believe i have to say this but if it wouldn't get you shoved into a locker it probably isn't a sexyman

[orofthesort]

Is this a safe space to say i feel like every day i wake up and i go about my day transmascly and i talk to my transgender irl friend group mostly consisting of trans women currently and i have a great time because i love my friends and being trans and helping each other find safety and support irl being trans. And then i log into tumblr dot com and its a cespit of "why is every trans man obsessed with kicking trans women down??" "why is every trans woman obsessed with kicking trans men down????" "kill all men applies to trans women" "kill all men actually applies to trans men" and all of them are reblogged by the same group of mutuals that consists of trans men and trans women and nonbinaries just reblogging every trans hate post in existence including ones explicitly against them. What the fuck did i miss

It took me like forever BUT I DID IT 🫠✌️✨

I've never read Homestuck but there's a type of media that I call "a Homestuck" and I think it's a useful categorization. The main criteria are:

long enough that the time investment is a serious barrier to entry

irrevocably changes your personality

brings something genuinely unique to the table. there is no real substitute for reading/playing/watching it in its entirety

Fate/Stay Night is a Homestuck. Worm is a Homestuck. When They Cry is a Homestuck.

Undertale has cultural impact similar to a Homestuck at first glance, but the fact that it's a pretty short and accessible game means that you don't get the particular mix of sunk cost fallacy and an intimate experience with a piece of media that results in you needing to connect with others who have already put in the time investment. You can buy your friends Undertale and expect them to play it if they're not too busy; telling a friend to read Homestuck is giving them a quest that, if accepted, will spark an odyssey. to read someone's Homestuck is an act of love without true equivalent.

We were so enthralled by this leaf on our walk back from dinner last night

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

okay. breathe. listen to my voice. can you tell me five things in this room you can fuck?

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

okay great. now list me four things in this room you can kill.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

beautiful. there you go. okay. now: tell me three things you can impose unjust taxes on.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

almost done. can you list two things you could shove in a pipe and smoke?

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

last one: one thing you could use as a makeshift weapon?

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

why are you still crying
