I was debating what else to say but really that particular Mushu gif is a pretty neat encaptulation of how I feel right now.

Anyway Silksong is really fucking good.

Random thing but I love the amount of trans people making movies reviews and dissertations on YouTube. I was so bored from media analysis made by cis guys saying the most basic and obvious shit, and when I found a totally new genre of trans women, trans men and non-binaries talking about religion, media, identity, fanfiction... I found home

Has anyone who follows Oakwyrm heard any news about him recently btw? Not to sound like. Weird and creepy but last he updated anywhere was almost a year ago and I'm lowkey kinda worried.

Anyway, the latest hobby here is 'watching video essays by trans authors particularly but not exclusively if they have an essay on masculinity or gender and society'.

I drew my favourite youtuber, @oakwyrm !

His videos on disability are something I look forward to all the time, and I love the way his voice sounds for his voiceover-style videos. I cannot sing high enough praises, the videos are amazing and they keep me critical of my media where it counts while being super interesting and sarcastically funny sometimes!

All in all, Oakwyrm, thank you for making the content you do! It helped me both come to terms with my own disability and learn to love it, learn to argue for my proper treatment, and find my community. You are so cool :].

🎓⚖️♿Disability and (Dis)Ablism (systems, vocabulary, voices)

My Youtube playlist Disability and (Dis)Ableism (systems, vocabulary, voices) I'm still not fully happy with it. It's still cluttered at the end and there's some longer videos I still need to rewatch. But it's the last day of Disability Pride month! I'm not gonna let perfection come before progress!

So. Sansûkh. Indeed Sansukh Week 2022. Thank you  @fishfingersandscarves​ for prompting me to actually finally record this damn song, edit and post it!

Day 7 of Sansukh Week, celebrating a year since the fanfic was completed, is about endings. This song is about the ending of the fanfic, and the emotions it gave me. I wrote it whilst I was ill with COVID, about a week or two after Sansukh finished. I then forgot about it. Did some editing. Forgot about it some more. Asked @oakwyrm @hobbitsoupbowl and @fishfingersandscarves if I could use their art, they graciously said yes, I forgot about it. Now it is here!!!

This video is a) an emotional retelling of a weird emotional; b) a massive thank you to @determamfidd; c) a joke that I mainly did because I thought of the last line and it made me giggle.

I’ll reblog with links to the original art and the backing track I used! Video description under the cut

Video description: video of a series of images, set to illustrate a song. The song is “Into the West” from The Return of the King, with some altered words, sung by an alto voice over a kareoke backing track.
