FUCK YOU. I asked you two or three times to tag your fucking incest posts. Is it really that hard? Just tag the goddamn posts so people who don't want to see that shit don't have to.

WOW did you really have to be that rude to me? I’m sorry I didn’t see your messages, sorry for being SUCH a horrible human being. Geez.

On the character asks: 11, 22, and 23

11.  What do they think of creation? Do they believe in evolution or do they believe in God? What is their religion like?

Dottie: She was raised by a scientist. Her mother believed in God, but never really stuck to a religion, so Dottie was raised agnostic and never went to any kind of church. She believes wholly in science, while also believing that it cannot solve all of life’s questions.

Greta: She grew up religious, but now hates it with every fiber of her being. It was the reason her parents wouldn’t get a divorce, despite fighting all the time and taking it out on her. It was the reason they punished her as harshly as they did. The only good thing religion ever got her was her girlfriend, Ana, because they met in her parents’ church as children.

Singh: His parents are proudly Hindu and so is he. They live in India while he resides in the States, but he still observes all the holidays and wears the traditional clothes that his mother sends him. 

Julie: She can’t remember much of her upbringing, other than her parents’ punishments and them sending her to the “Camp”, and how her sister, Mae, was her only ally, so whatever religion her family observed is buried somewhere underneath all that. She chooses to believe what science tells her, because it’s not like she can dispute it, anyway. 

Rowan: They’re grandmother, Siobhan, was hardcore Irish Catholic (like FROM Ireland) and that’s how she raised their mother, Aisling, who rebelled against most of it and ended up giving birth to Rowan when she was seventeen. Rowan spent much of their early days in church with their grandmother, who forced them into dresses until they finally told her that they didn’t want to wear dresses to church. At least, not the ones that Siobhan favored. Since they had a young mother, she was open to allowing her child to express themself any way they felt fit. Siobhan took longer to accept it, but eventually allowed Rowan to dress any way they wanted in church, which meant a few suits and even cutting their hair incredibly short. Siobhan learned to ignore the whispers and stares directed at their grandchild as Rowan learned their bible verses. They, like Julie and Dottie, believe in evolution, but they still have the Catholic faith and read the bible to their grandmother in her retirement home.

Bailey: She was left at the doors of a church when she was four, with nothing more than a ratty blue blanket and a letter that identified her by first name only: Bailey. The nun, Sister Catherine, gave her the last name Bishop and took her to the hospital to be checked over, before sending her into the system, where she was surrounded by other nuns in group homes and homeless shelters for the youth. She was only in that system for a year before she was adopted, but she was scarred by the experience. As an intersex person, she was called an abomination more than once. When she was adopted by Henry and Ida White, she was relieved to learn that they didn’t require her to have any kind of faith. She wouldn’t have, anyway.

Dean: He is tiny and pale and freckled and a devout Jewish transboy. He had a Bat Mitzvah (at his stepfather’s urging) when he turned twelve, but he wants a redo now that he is in the care of his foster parents. A redo that they’re happily giving him. He says his prayers and celebrates every Jewish holiday and he believes in the stories that he reads in the bible. That being said, he does have an interest in science, but he doesn’t let the two interfere with each other.

Ana: Her father was a preacher and her family owned a church in the Bronx. She is the second-youngest of eight and grew up a devout Christian. Despite being disowned by her parents for their “religious concerns” regarding her bisexuality, she still believes in the bible and still wears a silver cross around her neck.

22. Does your character trust people right off the bat or does it take them some time?

Dottie: Yes and no. She lost her mother young and was adopted within a year, but some of her foster parents were needlessly cruel even when they appeared nice, so she has some reservations when it comes to new people. Especially as an older, black, lesbian teenager.

Greta: It takes a lot for Greta to trust people. She could barely trust her own parents because of how they treated her. Ana is the only one she can truly let in. She loves her siblings and foster parents, but it’s still hard for her to trust them fully.

Singh: He’s a gay Indian boy living in Greenwich Village, so it can be dangerous to trust some people. He’s cautious, but he doesn’t close himself off completely.

Julie: She has seen more than her fair share of cruelty, so trust doesn’t come easily to her. That said, there have been people who’ve pleasantly surprised her, so you never really know...

Rowan: They try to trust as openly as possible, but as an enby, that too can be tough. They’re strong and resilient and bounce back pretty easily, but not everybody can say that.

Bailey: She is really shy, but not untrusting. But, like most of her siblings, she is cautious about what she says and who she says it to. 

Dean: There was a time that he trusted his stepfather. And then his stepfather became violent toward him and his mother, so he is not easy to trust. He tries to remain positive, though.

Ana: She is as trusting as a person can be. She believes that everybody--even the parents that disowned her and the siblings that refuse to acknowledge her existence--have good in them. Greta hates this about her and loves it at the same time.

23. Romance or affection? Quickest way to their heart?

Dottie: Big gay mush. She’s all for the flowers and the hand-holding and the soft kisses on cheeks. She’s the one that tries to do the big gestures, but sometimes it doesn’t go as planned.

Greta: She SAYS that she’s not into “all that romantic crap” but she still gives Ana violets for pretty much every occasion and takes embarrassing selfies of them together and she’s usually the one who initiates hand-holding.

Singh: He swoons, he sighs, he LOVES affection. Especially from a cute guy.

Julie: Julie doesn’t know how to handle affection, but she loves the love stories in her books and probably wouldn’t mind somebody doing that kind of stuff for her.

Rowan: Overly dramatic, goofy bisexual who thinks that they are a stud and will try to woo you with flowers and fireworks that they definitely obtained illegally. 

Bailey: So very shy and awkward bean who turns bright red when somebody gives her so much as a piece of candy or a paper Valentine. 

Dean: He’s a 12-year-old boy. He’s not much into romance, but he does get a little flustered when a certain somebody shows him attention and he has NO IDEA WHY THIS HAPPENS.

Ana: Over the top lover of all things romantic and affectionate. Her grump of a gf acts like she hates it, but Ana knows that she secretly loves all of it.

Would it be okay for me to ask for input on my ideas from time to time? I don't mean to be a burden and so please feel free to say no, I just really respect you as an artist and as a critic of this medium.

I can’t review your work, but I’d love to have you bounce ideas off me. I’ve got a heavy writing schedule in front of me and I’m already behind. *bites nails*

Naughty

Naughty: Tell us three things that your parents disapprove of? 1. My tattoos. 2. Maybe not disapprove, but they don’t understand my anxiety and depression and what goes with it. 3. That i’m taking longer than others to finish college.

Thank you!

Cairo

Cairo: What's your favorite quote?: I’ll think of another one here since I like quotes... Hmm... Bell Hooks: “I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else's whim or to someone else's ignorance.” Speaks to my personality pretty well. Also another quote by her, “Being oppressed means the absence of choices.”

tiltilla reblogged your post princesszangiev reblogged your post h... and added:

Feminism is a movement FOR something. It advocates social change, it challenges people to look at gender rules and how these rules impact out lives in profound and sometimes dangerous ways. Feminism isn’t just for women, it’s for anyone defined by gender rather than self.

Meninism is a movement AGAINST something. Specifically feminism. It doesn’t challenge the way we see gender, it more seeks to reinforce norms and enforce the same gender laws. What is more, it is disrespectful to male victims, using them as figurehead for their movement, but not acknowledging their needs in any significant way.

Exactly.

So tiltilla, I started drawing your Satan but making things symmetrical is hard so I thought I'd show you the WIP so you can tell me if you want me to finish it :'D http://i.imgur.com/3D006r9.jpg
