Starlight

Hi I'm Star! I'm an 19 year old transbian furry who occasionally posts art and writes fanfic! My DM's are open to anyone interested in talking! Mainly reblog murder drones. I have other hyperfixations I swear but it's mostly murder drones.

okay couple things, I know that these comments are well meaning but this is not a fish for webtoons recommendations or suggestions on how to flip these tropes. this is me asking for you to sit and think about why these tropes exist in the first place. and why they're so widespread. a majority of the queer artists that make art and get popular off of their art are white thats a given. I feel like low-key when it comes to the majority of art I see and what art gets popular; when it comes to white wlw/sapphic/etc artists they wanna show how idk, woke they are with their art so they try to get in as many brown/black ocs as they can to ship with their white ocs. the problem arises when they showcase certain like romantic and sexual dynamics in their art but they don't think about it past service level 'this is what gets me off'. like, for starters why do you associate darker skin and/or blackness with like aggressiveness, strength, servitude and carnality? why is that?

also low-key you can avoid this problem by simply having like, two dark skin women be together? you don't have to insert yourself, oops I mean a white oc, into your work every time. I also have a similar issue with white mlm/etc artists making east and south asian men sexually submissive to their white male paramours + just straight up not making content of queer black men/acting like they don't exist.

ultimately um, idk if you're a white artist you need to be more critical of the shit you're into sexually and unpack the racialized tropes you perpetuate. umm... stop with the antiblack and orientalist shit. and lastly stop acting like gay and bisexual black men don't exist. by the power of the father the son and the holy spirit amen.

Every morning, the queen asked her magic mirror to show her the most beautiful person in the world.

The mirror replied "To whom?"

"The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of".

The mirror would show her, and she'd be amazed.

[nullen-void]

The first time, she says "To me," and the mirror dutifully shows her her reflection. And she is pleased.

The second time, she says "To the King," and she is pleased to see herself once more.

The third time, she says "To the Royal Advisor," and is once more satisfied to see herself.

The fourth time, she says "To the scribe who takes the King's letters." She is shown the man's wife. And she seethes, but quiets herself, for it is only right that a man loves his wife.

The fifth time, she says "To the Court Wizard," and is shown the man's departed mother as he remembers her from his youth, radiant and smiling and warm and larger than life.

The tenth time, she says "To the Stable Master," and is shown the fastest horse in the stable, majestic and free as the wind even in captivity

"To the baker," she is shown the man's daughter, young and adorable and full of joy and laughter.

"To the artist who did my portrait," she is shown a painting of a woman done by the man's teacher, who he still looks up to now that he is well established himself.

"To the Royal Knight," she is surprised but not displeased to see the castle's entire guard force in the middle of doing drills.

The one hundredth time she asks the mirror, and it asks her "to whom?" she once again says, "To me." And she does the same the one hundred and second, and again and again and again.

It is a different person each time, and they are all beautiful.

This has probably been done to death and taken as fact by now but... I thought this sums it up well

i hate how every time i make a post criticizing other trans men's bad behavior i have to disclose my identity as a trans man otherwise i will be subject to accusations of hatred and relentless harassment. like that's fucked up, actually.

like i feel like women should be able to point out misogynistic behavior without some of y'all acting like misogyny is an intrinsic part of your identity and that pointing it out makes them bigots

[soundwave-starlight]

you sir are based and i do not think this should stay in the tags

i find it very very telling that people immediately started going kiwifarms on gooseworx right after the final episode of tadc dropped on yt and the reveal that fan favorite character Jax has been a closeted trans woman this whole time, radically recontextualizing everything about her and her actions. everyone in the fandom has been completely fine with other queer representation in the show, even Zooble who is also trans representation, but i guess a complicated and flawed transfem is just a bridge too far.

i don't care about old social media posts that have coincidentally and mysteriously "resurfaced" following the outrage of transmisogynist fans. you clearly missed the part of this where Jax is reflective of Goose's past behavior of using edgy and harmful humor to play the bad guy and push people away in order to cover up the fact that she is a trans woman. you missed the part where Gooseworx has explicitly grown past that kind of behavior and Jax is an exercise in extending empathy to a past version of herself who was trying everything in her power to be uworthy of love and care. you fundamentally do not understand the art you are a fan of.

Gooseworx's ban by @staff is transparently due to harassment by transmisogynists attempting to turn her into a "controversial figure" for "ruining" their favorite edgy jokey rabbit "man" by revealing she's been an edgy jokey rabbit woman this whole time. i will block anyone attempting to justify this ban. i do not want those who would enable such an obvious transmisogynistic witch hunt to interact with me or my content. fuck off.

"it's just growing pains" -> "you're too young for that to hurt that bad" -> "you just need to get in better shape" -> "welcome to being old, everyone is in pain"

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.

I was confused you see.

[rabbitkinglune777]

I think more non binary characters should be fat

[rabbitkinglune777]

fat and black and brown 👍🏾

[rabbitkinglune777]

kinda tired of non binary being tied to skinny androgyny that's mostly white. I say that's as a non binary transmasc/boy thing who's fat and black.

being non binary can look like anything and anyone but especially individuals who have different body types outside of thin. they can have body/facial hair too. show up for all enbies.
