my dash did a thing
Hello everybody. After a lot of long thought and discussion with multiple sources of people, I’ve decided the best course of action to take. My name is Ray. A fifteen year old trans-male. I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders with knowledge of my new identity, and the fact that my beautiful girlfriend has my support. However, the upcoming path ahead of me is a hard one, and I will need help along it. With the school year coming up fast, I feel like I need to do this in order to get myself the necessities. New clothes, a chest binder, that sort of thing. Nothing close to starting hormone treatment yet, I feel far off from that goal, my current set is the present. That, my friends, is where I need help. I’ll have a link below where you can donate anything that you can, the money will only be used for my needs, nothing else, and if there is any left over, it will be saved for hormone treatment. You don’t have to donate a lot, but any bit helps. If you can’t donate at all, please reblog this post so that others might help me along this path. Thank you to everyone who helped me towards this, I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. -Ray Donate here! http://www.gofundme.com/transgenderray
How do I do commissions?
I might be moving out really, really soon, and, if I don’t want to get stuck with my grandma in Colorado (no offense to people that live there, but I really don’t want to go), me and mom seriously need the funds to afford going somewhere else. There isn’t much I can do right now, but, since every little bit helps, I figured I’d try to open commissions. Unfortunately, I don’t know how this works, I don’t know how to get actual money for it, and neither does anyone I asked. Before anyone says anything, I’d be using my mom’s paypal for this, since...well...she can actually use paypal, and is probably gonna the one paying all the bills anyway.
Can anyone explain the process to me?

Why we shouldn’t raise the minimum wage
Video
raising minimum wage is just going to raise the prices in a long run
believe you me, i know trying to live on minimum wage is bullshit.
forget just living on it, me and mom are trying to get a car, move out of our current house, AND live on it
but we need a better long-term solution
um...starting right now,i’m gonna be taking down my character lists to make something (hopefully) a bit more convenient
so,uh...yea,i’m not doing any replies or anything until it’s done .////.; not that i was doing them anyway
In light of the bullshit the xkit guy went through, I needed to get my feelings out about callout culture via a wordy comic. I am so, so tired of the culture of fear Tumblr raises - if you don’t take literally everything the underdog victim says 100% as truth, then you are horrible trash? It’s bullshit.
It’s good to believe a victim! But it’s also good to exercise a bit of scrutiny, and to make sure you understand the other side of the story. People take advantage of and manipulate the willingness to believe victims, and that leads to a lot of misinformation spread at lightning speed with social media. Caution absolutely needs to be undertaken when serious claims are presented. Do you really want to be responsible for ruining someone’s life before you couldn’t take half a fucking second to try to verify the information? Verifying it doesn’t automatically mean you’re taking the side of a potential abuser! It means that you care about the truth - which, to me at least, is pretty important.
When callouts happen, especially ones made in spite, what people rely on is for the subject of the callout to be ostracized and for people to revoke their support. That was explicitly asked for in my case. In the community of artists I have worked so hard to make myself known in, well-known artists encouraged people to not even talk to me, to not ask “what the fuck is the deal with this huge callout, can you actually explain this or what’s going on”. They encouraged accepting it without question, and if you didn’t? You’d be picked off next, as an “abuse apologist” - because that’s it, isn’t it? Once you got half the story, that’s all you need on Tumblr if it sounds bad enough. Even better if it’s about someone “popular”.
Instantly, the subject of the callout is dehumanized, and people treat it like it’s A-OK to send tons of horrible messages in the person’s inbox, to spread the gossip as far as they can– because it’s deserved, right?
And once people breach that threshold, there’s not often any coming back. People don’t often apologize for being a piece of shit to someone they think deserves it. Which, you know, means they don’t actually want to find out what might have really happened in a situation where they’ve already made some very polarizing statements. Because then they’d have attacked a person who didn’t deserve that, and that’s… why, that’s abusive, isn’t it? But it’s definitely not abusive if the person deserves it. (That’s sarcasm.)
I’m just tired of seeing it. I’m tired of existing around people who do this. I’m tired of moderately known artists abusing their own power and their own audience for the sake of making their followers too afraid to try to think for themselves. A question like “was there actually any abuse?” becomes unthinkable, and so a bunch of young people suddenly are finding themselves encouraged to not rock the boat. Or they’ll be next.
It’s all fucked up. Sometimes I’m kind of bad at communicating, but I try very hard. Sometimes it takes me a while to get a message across. I’d like to think I try as hard as most people at being a good friend and a good person. I like learning ways in which I can do better, as a friend, and as a person. I expect a lot of others around me because I expect even more of myself.
So it killed a lot off inside of me that’s taken months to cultivate again, months ago. Artists I admired, people I was friends with - in an instant, they decided the thing to do was go “yep this must be true, sounds horrifying and once I had a bad vibe”. Very few people actually asked me about what happened. A lot of people were too scared to even say anything because they didn’t want to be labeled a fucking abuse apologist.
And that’s pretty fucked up. This is why callouts are not to be thrown around, especially with regards to abuse. I was so angry about it at the time because I had tried so hard to be as supportive as I could during that relationship. You can ask the other two people who I’m still dating about how much I cared about that person. They were around every step of the way, through all of my happiness and sadness over the situation. My big fucking mistake was venting in a public place about all of my feelings to do with the breakup. That was my huge “communication error”, but I couldn’t even talk to my ex at that point anyway because I’d been blocked, so I had no way of communicating it to him. Regardless, writing post-breakup feelings, no matter how true I find them still, is a really bad idea to stick anywhere public. Even on my side blog I didn’t realize anyone read.
I don’t know. Finally I feel strong enough as a person to talk about this. I’m so tired of people hiding behind anon to spread the same tired “PK is an abuser” line - heaven fucking forbid they attach their words to a name that can be held accountable for its actions.
I don’t really know what more can be expected of me than I already give. I am pretty blunt and literal and I like being that way because it means I’m putting all of my feelings out there - so what’s really hard for me to deal with is people reading my words with insincerity. Please don’t - nothing riles me up more than insincerity.
Anyway, for the sake of everyone in the future, don’t fucking mash reblog on a post calling someone out without putting time and effort into research. Seriously. It takes literal seconds to start the snowball of ruining someone’s life, so please hold back from an instant reblog.
Please don’t rebuke people for trying to figure out the truth of a situation, either. It’s always a good thing to get both sides of a story. Sometimes you’ll find that the other half of the story only confirms what you originally thought, but sometimes you’ll find you would have been acting like a complete fucking jackass if it had been wrong.
Please be kind to others.

"Hm? I just— it’s silly, but… I… I—"
"He’s afraid of the dark." Marx answered for him. Bandanna seemed thankful.
"He gets really scared, and sometimes faints… Kinda like me with mirrors."
oOo
"Ah, yeah, that was it. And PAE was the one I called pretty!"
She turned back to her drawing. “Pretty good! I finished the rough sketch, so now I can paint the base colours!”
"You’re not going to paint well if you can’t clean your brush, Addie. You need a cup of water."
Addie turned around swiftly. Standing there was another girl who looked almost exactly like her, only with brown hair rather than black that had more of a fringe, and a slightly different beret. She was had a cup of water in her hand and a smile on her face.
Addie couldn’t believe her eyes. “Ado!”
"Oh…" She nodded a bit in understanding. "I’m afraid of heights, myself. …I could make a little light, if you want. Shouldn’t give our spot away…”
——
The trainer gave a slight laugh at that.
"I see—hm?" She looked over as well, tilting her head. Was this Adeline’s twin or something…? Sure looked like it at least…
"Ado?"
"Can you?" Bandanna’s eyes practically lit up. "That would be wonderful, yes please!"
Kirby came back towards the group. “The Mayor said they’re coming now, poy! Get ready~!”
oOo
Addie glomped Ado, making her almost spill the water.
"Big sis! Its been so long since I saw you!" She giggled. "You’re back!"
"Yep!" Ado smiled. "And you’re getting even better at painting!" She looked at Subby over Addie’s shoulder. "Who’s your little friend there?"
Addie jumped back. “This is Subby! She’s really cute, isn’t she?”
"Yup!" With that, she started making a few, small, constant sparks from her cheeks, creating some light. Hopefully not enough to give them away...
"heehee! Right!" PAE looked out, towards where the king would be walking, and got ready to pounce...
----
The trainer contently watched them, a bit interested. Where had Ado gone, exactly...?
At being called cute, her face turned a bit red. "I-I'm Subby..." She bowed, a little flustered. "N-nice to meet you!"

"Yeah, poyo! What better way to prove that we love our king and his assistant? It is a celebration of them coming back from the dead, after all!”
He started to walk towards the middle of town followed by the others. Adeliene vaguely waved them off before moving her easel away so she wouldn’t be spotted.
"So, what would be a good hiding place?" Fumu asked. "We are going to be in pitch black darkness, so it doesn’t have to be that good… Ooh! Maybe over there, between those houses! Dedede won’t see us but we’ll be able to jump out easily!"
"Heehee! Right!"
PAE and Toto followed, though Subby went with Adeline instead; as fun as it sounded, she didn’t really want to take part. Especially if they were going to make a loud noise when they jumped.
"Sounds good to me!" The pivee hopped a bit excitedly. "Let’s do it!"
They all sat down behind the house, with Kirby keeping guard around the side, even though he knew he didn’t really need to. He was just too excited!
Bandanna Dee, however, seemed the opposite of excited. He seemed really scared, actually. “Do you think it’ll take long? I really want it to be over quickly…”
oOo
Adeliene sat her painting down, only then noticing Subby. “Oh, hey there! You again! Um… I think I forgot your name… Was it Sarah? I probably wasn’t paying attention… I do that a lot.”
Unbeknownst to the artist, another person was nearby, and coming closer.
"Hm?" PAE looked back at him, ears perked curiously. "Is something wrong, Bandy...?"
----
"Subby", she corrected, going over and briefly trying to sneak a peek at the drawing. "It's alright...I'm kinda used to it with PAE around." As well as some others, but Addie wouldn't know them.
"How's the drawing going?"

"Other than Addie’s twin sister, Ado… no, I don’t think so. Maybe in other parts of Popstar, though…"
Adeliene, of course, ignored the little totodile as she continued sketching. The photo pinned up on the top of the canvas showed all of them, including a poor Waddle Doo who had been passing by, (who was now actually rubbing her eye in pain if anybody cared to look) but the surprise element of the photo mean nobody was blinking.
"Subby and Toto, huh?" She smiled. "Cool names! I don’t know what a Pokemon is, but if they’re all as cute as this I’d like to see more!"
Suddenly, Grill gasped. “Oh NOVA! It’s getting late and I left the food I was going to bring Kawasaki at home! We only have, like, twenty minutes before the celebration begins!”
Indeed, it was already dark, but since all the lights were on everybody could still see clearly.
"Big G, we picked up the food and we put it in the kitchen!" Pepper yelled just before she could fly off. Grill turned back around, and the little onions sat on her hat.
"I’ll be back soon!" She smiled, waving. "See you in… half an hour-ish!" And then, she flew off.
"Oh… …well, Subby’s a human! Technically!”
"(Yes!)" Toto pumped a hand into the air victoriously. "(I didn’t blink!)"
Subby simply nodded, “Most of them are pretty cute. Some aren’t, but…that still depends on who you ask anyway.”
And she and PAE waved Grill off, a little weirded out by the sudden scene…but oh well.
"…Speaking of which, anything left for us to do?"
"She doesn’t really look like a human, if I’m honest." Ribbon frowned. "What’s the technicality?"
"Cool!" She smiled. That smiled soon disappeared into a thoughtful look as Grill left. "Speaking of leaving things behind, mother is going to be wondering where I am! I’ll just go find and talk to her for a bit, okay?"
She flew off, leaving the other behind.
"Um, I think everything will start once Dedede and Escy gets here, poyo." Kirby smiled. "I think we should head further into the village and find a good hiding spot. We don’t want to be spotted, even if it is going to be dark, but we also want to be able to jump out and surprise Dedede easily, poyo, so we should go somewhere near the middle of town!"
PAE simply shrugged. "She looks like a human when we're back home...but she turns into this blob-y thing when we come into a universe with Kirby and the others in it. Don't know why..."
"Alright, be careful." And Ribbon got waved off as well, which came to an early stop when Toto returned to Subby's side--she couldn't turn down the chance to pat his head.
"-Why? Is it a surprise party?" The pivee was getting a little too excited at that idea...
