about me!

it's been a long time since I've made an introduction post, so here we go:

Media I love:

Monster High G3 (current obsession)

Monster High G1

Old Barbie movies

Ghibli movies (especially Spirited Away, Princess Kaguya, Marnie, Nausicäa and Princess Mononoke)

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Avatar: The Legend of Korra

Arcane

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

MLP G1 & G3

Undertale

Twin Peaks

The Dragon Prince

Ever After High

Steven Universe

Music: currently obsessed with Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Cocteau Twins. I love whimsical music (like Aurora, Enya), darkwave/post-punk (Mareux, Molchat Doma), also indie pop (Cavetown) and trashy 2000s pop (Kesha)

I live in my own little whimsical autistic world and I love it. I'm passionate about arts and crafts, I write poetry, do junk journaling, play the ukulele, make collages, and I'm always full of childlike joy. Being a 25-year-old with a master's degree and a job is not going to stop me!

I also love fashion and makeup and I would describe my style as fairy goth.

Also I'm a battleaxe bi, raging leftist, intersectional feminist and atheist. I support the liberation of Palestine and other occupied nations

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Hello everyone!

Last year I started designing a series of Coat of Arms, themed in the spirit of Pride Month and using different mythological creatures as heraldic animals. I now aim to turn these designs into wearable pins and will be running a Kickstarter in July to fund this endeavor! I have found a very trustworthy local manufacturer, who has already shown the quality of their craftsmanship with the first batch of test pins I received, just look at the detail they were able to produce!

Since I try to support local manufacturers, which produce pins with fair wages and are more ethical than outside of Europe, the pins are more expensive to create than through the usual pipeline via Asia.

I therefore seek to crowdfund the expenses since they would be more than I can afford. If you are interested and look forward to support this little endeavor, please follow the link below to sign up for a mailing list. People who signed up on the email list and pledged during the campaign will receive an exclusive sticker set by the end of a successful launch consisting of the following designs:

Shaking hands meme but it's Draculaura and Discord shaking hands over the fanbase's strange age difference discourse over them being older than their love interests via immortality.

"bisexual women and their boyfriend" jokes aren't very funny and its very interesting that 1. I never hear bi women make those jokes on public platforms nearly as much if at all and 2. bi men dont have an equivalent of this very prevalent joke. You are just being misogynistic again as well as biphobic.

Glimbow is such an refreshing and groundbreaking m/f ship honestly. They’re both poc, both bi. Glimmer is the one more prone to violence, Bow’s the smart friendship one.

We need more ships like them

Random thing I thought of:

Angels and demons are both genderless in two very different directions: angels have no gender, gender is something that was created for humans, and thus they see no point in presenting as either gender

If asked, they would give a long explanation of how they have no gender, they were created without one, etc

Demons, on the other hand, fucking love that gender is a thing but find the concept of staying one single gender dreadfully boring; so they swap almost constantly, going from each gender like they’re frogs bouncing from one lily pad to the next

If asked, they’ll go off on whatever gender they are at that exact moment, happily mentioning how they used to be this-other-thing and did-you-know-this-one-exists?-it’s-delightful-really-you-should-try-it-sometime-

Aka angels’ gender is “no” and demons is “FUCK YES”

After having experienced a shit ton of biphobia a few months ago, I think I realized the root of it. Biphobes don't see bi women as queer. They see us as straight girls with a fetish (or alternatively, as comphet lesbians). They cannot comprehend that you can actually be romantically and sexually attracted to both men and women. I was accused of "fetishizing lesbians" just because I enjoy sapphic content. When I am literally a woman attracted to women, and having a boyfriend doesn't make that attraction invalid. Accusing bi women of "fetishizing lesbians" sounds as ridiculous as accusing us of fetishizing straight men. And yeah, that same person also accused me of being a comphet lesbian (lol)

Dear bi girls, your attraction to women AND your attraction to men are valid. Don't let anyone tell you that you're a straight girl with a fetish, or a confused lesbian deep in the closet. You know who you are better than anyone. You're bi and that's beautiful 💖💜💙

While I understand the desire to make Big Art entirely and viscerally I think it's worth considering that small art often leaves an outsized impact on its audience. Short stories, teensy indie games, short films, sketches on scrap paper, carved or sculpted figures that would fit in the palm of your hand, etc. etc. are all things that, when they hit your psyche at just the right angle, can stay lodged in there forever specifically because they are small. It is not necessary for a thing to be sprawling for it to have impact.

[softest-punk]

Okay in celebration of this post hitting 30k notes without major incident, an incomplete, in no particular order list of lesser-known small art that has stuck with me in the manner described:

this 13000-year-old reindeer sculpture

the zine/short story Wolfskin which I have thought about at least once a week since 2015

Talis Kimberley's Queen of Spindles

the E.F. Benson short story The Bus Conductor (in particular, the line "Fear is the most absorbing and luxurious of emotions. One forgets all else if one is afraid.")

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon
