About

Hello and welcome to the Queer Merm Blog™️! 

It is run by Mod Ary  (they/them, it/its), Mod H (they/them) and Mod Boulder (they/them)! (ETA August, 2020: Mod T/Mod C has left due to not having enough enough time to dedicate to Tumblr)

Trans people, intersex people, and non-binary peeps are loved and welcomed, and so are any queer, bi, pan, m-spec ace, aro, and questioning peeps

This blog might, and will, get 18+. There might be kinky shit. With this in mind, we would rather not have children following, but if you do, please blacklist tags such as “NSFW”, “kink”, and “sex”. We ain’t your parents, we just want to make this blog safe for everyone.

Please note we use “queer” a lot. 

This is not meant to be a discourse blog, but there are people we prefer not wish to associate with.

General opinions and such under cut

Updated with new links. I also decided this blog will also be welcoming of queer people regardless of gender. If you’re a queer guy (cis, nb or trans [etc]) who likes women and non-binary people you are more than welcome.

The path to redemption sure ain't a straight one. :)

Still got Gargoyles on the brain, and what better way to scratch that itch than to draw a human and her supernatural situationship with her ex's ex?

But to be real, I am making tentative progress on that Gargoyles AU! Got myself the start of an outline at least and some ideas for scenes. Basic synopsis of it for anyone new or needing a reminder: it explores the idea of Demona successfully redeeming herself and giving up her 1000 year old grudge against... well. The world basically.

One of the things I'd like to play with in the AU is how Demona and Elisa's relationship changes over the course of the redemption. In the midst of that gradual change, she and Elisa end up finding common ground. Enough to where they begin to see their once tremulous truce hurtle toward a trajectory neither expected.

TLDR they're fuckin gay baby.

BUT YE! I think I'm about ready for the concept art stage, so there's probably gonna be a few sketches of the crew comin' along soon enough and some notes on the AU as I bang my head against that wall. Until then I hope ya like the art! uwu

This artist is exactly the reason I'm writing a bunch of Demona x Elisa stuff.

UBI needs to happen. via antiwork

[hasufin]

I think most importantly, it would give us the leverage to say “no”. To walk away from bad jobs and abusive managers. To refuse to work in unsafe environments. To demand better pay.

To demand better, because the options are no longer “suck it up” or “die”.

[tehamelie]

The counter-argument: Not having UBI is in the interests of those in power who want to do anything to the people they are in power over in order to remain in power.

If the greed of the few should come before the need of the many.

[riddlebites]

I'd like to see your take on Lola, the seductive redheaded fish from Shark Tale :>

The US keeps getting more unsafe for any and all trans and nonbinary and intersex people (but ESPECIALLY those of colour) but yeah sure your energy is super well spent doing infighting on the internet over who has it worse you fucking ghoul.

[this-is-multigenderphobia]

I dont know who needs to hear this but if you want to be a gender, you can just be it. Like, if you want to be a girl, that's enough for you to say you're a girl. Often there's the idea of "what if Im faking? I don't 'feel' non binary even though Id like to be, but if I don't feel like a non binary person then Im not one" and it's like. Yeah for some people they feel a certain gender. But you can also be a certain gender because you want to be it.

You don't need to despise your current gender for you to want to be a different gender. You can just be a guy if you want to be a guy. You can just be agender. You can just be a girlthing, or a maverique person, or an aboy, or anything you wish.

You wanting to be a gender is enough for you to call yourself that gender. There's no 'test' you need to pass. If you wish you were a girl, you can be a girl. You dont have to deny your previous gender either, you can be multigender. You can also change your mind. You can be a man who is a woman on wesnedays. You can be an enban who sometimes calls themselves a woman. You can experiment, anything you say about your gender is valid because it's your gender.

happy gay month cuz u know u gay and stuff /ref

here’s some old sticker designs I made back in 2024 for a pride event (they didn’t end up being made because of issues with the manufacturer ☹️)

[thuesdaynightdykelife]

I love being friends with prostitutes and transsexuals and artists and drug dealers and perverts and queers

[uncannine]

non-binary people don’t call themselves Moss or Arson anymore and that needs to change. come back. name yourself Salt. name yourself Elf. name yourself weirdly, but Name Yourself. it’s YOUR name, no one else’s.

[kr-585]

Miku Mermaid design by me!

Hi Tumblr! I wanted to wait until I had more art to display to post all at once but I'll just post this now! You can find me on X: kr_585

A team of scientists successfully excavates and revives the fossil of the extinct merfolk’s leader. Rumored to sing the most alluring melodies in ancient legends, they force her to arise from her eternal slumber to hear her voice…

Awakening in the midst of panic, she destroys the lab before diving into the depths. Alone in the modern era to which she does not belong, she sings her lament to her people who remain asleep under the earth. 

Vengeance grows in her heart as she gazes upon the shore…

[genderkoolaid]

i simply don't think nonbinary people should have to see having our gender/s respected and acknowledged as a luxury. i think it's frankly sickening that that's the state of things tbh.

[genderkoolaid]

sorry i just think that the fact that popular binary jokes are stuff like "god isn't it so much better to exist as my gender, i didn't even realize how incredibly depressed i was until i transitioned, my life is so much more rich and colorful now that im out and transitioning :)" and popular nonbinary jokes are stuff like "i think i might be nonbinary but that doesn't matter because i have real adult concerns and no one would respect it anyways lol" and that's. normal and funny and cool. yeah. clenches teeth so hard they turn to dust

[genderkoolaid]

happy nonbinary people's day. treat every nonbinary person you meet with as much compassion and respect as you possibly can or ill grind YOUR teeth to dust.

[chaoticmagpies]

once tried to share a poem with my uncle about how awful it feels to be reduced to binary ideas of gender as a nonbinary trans dude who doesn't pass. hes a very supportive cis gay man who'd never intentionally disrespect my identity and even he kind of laughed at me when i shared it thinking it was like. supposed to be lighthearted or a joke in a way? even from one of the most compassionate people i know i feel like my identity and a massive chunk of my dysphoria comes off as a funny concept/nonserious. idk

poem included in case anyone wanted to read

[genderkoolaid]

This is really beautiful!

[genderkoolaid]

btw the poet above has their commisions open for poetry & tarot readings, if anyone's got some money and would like to get a custom poem / tarot reading / just support a nonbinary person!

this poem is seriously gorgeous @chaoticmagpies. its touched a lot of other nonbinary people & i really thank you for adding it to this post. your uncle was absolutely wrong to react that way & this deserves to be an officially published work imo. art like this is vital to our community.

"Making peace with not transitioning because your partner wouldn't like it is valid" is an attempt at conversion therapy btw. Just so you know.

[tpwrtrmnky]

"Valid" isn't worth anything. Valid isn't a substitute for self-determination. You can maximize your validity and feel literally nothing because validity doesn't factor in that the urge to transition can't be satisfied without actually doing something.

One of the healthiest things you can do as a trans person is to let go of the idea that "valid" is something you want or need to be. Focus on what you want to do.
