Pinned Poast

hey hi hello, I'm Moxie/Torch/Dreamor, among other names, and I use they/them, x/x's, or coinself pronouns. I am a trigender transmasc woman or man in my 30s. I'm a lego movie & show fan, a casual furry, and my favorite pokémon is cradily. this is not a roleplay blog, I died on the cross for this URL.

The vast majority of my reblogs are queued. My queue is several months long. If I like your art without reblogging, I probably am saving it until I put it in my queue and it comes out in 2031. i let my queue run empty and haven't refilled it yet

about myself!

I am autistic! my autism greatly affects my life and how I interact with others. please be patient and use clear, direct language with me. if I cross boundaries, let me know as soon as you can so I can apologize and correct my behavior.

I am an adult! I have interests that relate to children's media and fandoms largely consisting of minors, and I enjoy items and activities commonly called "childish." I am still an adult and would like to be treated like one. I don't mind interacting with minors, and will always aim to act appropriately around them, but our dynamic will not be the same as my relationships with friends my own age.

I am trigender! I am male, female, and xenogendered all at the same time. being a woman does not negate me being a man, and vice versa. if I talk about the issues I face as a man, woman, nonbinary person, or like, any gendered issues, don't argue with me about what I actually am. to be clear, I am transmasc, so the issues I face are coming from that perspective and not one of a transfem person. In addition, if you think there is systemic oppression against men as a class I will think you are a misogynist and I will be correct.

other things! I am white mexican-american & sometimes I reblog or say things talking about racism and/or global issues & it's important for ppl to know what perspective I'm coming from.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw

[orteil42]

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

[antlershade]

you are a critic in a very prestigious gallery, what are your thoughts on this piece?

HOWDY GODPOKES AND HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!

Today, we are VERY pleased to announce the opening of Great God Grove's very own YURI ZINE, hosted by @maarshmint and @mcmonstructuk, otherwise known as the Fireflies of the Setting Sun zine!!

What is the FOTSS zine? The Fireflies of the Setting Sun zine is a zine made to focus on the less appreciated yuri ships within the Great God Grove fandom! As such, we ask that you please refrain from submitting anything that involves gender swapped yaoi ships (such as Inspekchin, Lovestory, etc etc). While we always love and appreciate things such as trans headcanons, we would rather focus on those in canon that often get left out. If we were to allow gender swapped ships, then I fear we would just run into the same issue once again of gender-swapped yaoi dominating this zine. Ships we would love to see in this zine includes: Pattypoke, Missyking, Razzking, Lulurazz, Cornflower (Pattycob), Prankcall (Cobimug), etc etc!

When will submissions open? Submissions will be opening on June 5th!

How long will we have? Three months! Submissions will close on September 5th!

I will include a small (P)FAQ with extra details below the cut for any interested in participating!

What can I submit? We will be accepting both written and visual submissions! This includes both digital art and traditional art! Digital art pieces must be at LEAST 1700 x 2200 with at LEAST 300 dpi. You may submit using any format, but PNG is preferred. For physical pieces, we ask that they are JPEGs with multiple angles of your work. Written pieces must be 500-1,000 words. If longer, please link a google doc/AO3 with the writing.

Is there a theme? Not necessarily! All we ask that your piece either includes a yuri ship, OR, a piece with a character(s) expressing their connection to sapphic identities. Poly ships are also welcomed! As long as your piece relates to sapphism/lesbianism in any way, you're good to go! It doesn't JUST need to be ships!

Will this be physically printed? Maybe. If there is enough interest, we can potentially look at prints, but there is no guarantee. It depends on if we have the means to get it done! HOWEVER. Please note that a fee will need to be paid if physical versions do release!

What kind of art will be allowed? As long as it's kept 13+, anything! Non-sexual nudity IS allowed, but anything NSFW is NOT. This goes for writing too.

How many pieces can I submit? As many as you like!

Can I submit pre-existing pieces? Yes! Please just be sure to note that it's an art piece you made before the zine so we can prioritize any new pieces we receive.

Can I post my submission on social media early? Yes! We will not make anyone wait to post their submissions to any social media accounts. If you would rather wait for the zine to be released, then go for it! If you want to post your stuff before the zine's release, then feel free to! It's entirely up to you!

If you choose to post your work to any socials, please use #Fireflies of the Setting Sun Zine and/or #FOTSS Zine in your work so we can find and reblog it! Also feel free to tag this account in your post too so we have a higher chance at seeing it!

Why Fireflies of the Setting Sun? We thought fireflies were a perfect representation for the yuri ships within fandom spaces. Fireflies are small but bright, just as yuri ships are small (underrepresented) but still have their own light to them that fandom wouldn't be the same without. Not only that, but they're usually only seen after dark! Which follows our sunset theme wonderfully! And of course, the sunset is there to represent the lesbian flag :}

If you have any extra questions, by all means PLEASE feel free to send us asks! All this info will be relayed in the submission form itself, and I can make another separate post with this FAQ (+ any extra questions we get) on it's own!

My fanfiction is political sometimes in really obvious ways (the ninjago abortion fic) and sometimes less so (lots of things, particularly the decision in coinverse to *not* have cyrus borg legally adopt morro because I was learning about the ethical issues with adoption at the time). i dont know how to end this post.

[tippydoorman]

I'm ready to analyze the political implications of every piece of artwork ever starting with my own

[tippydoorman]

this is Mordecai the Dream Eevee and already we are grappling with pokémon fanart as a medium; I have chosen to create an OC who is a species of pokémon. does that mean I am aligning myself with the pokémon franchise's politics as a whole? why or why not?

this eevee has clouds for a mane + tail due to being a dream eevee, which means we can get into the whole deal of Why clouds can symbolize dreams. cultural symbolism & how it evolves is a very interesting topic to me! I am writing this post very fast though so I'm not looking it up right now so just sit with the question "why do clouds symbolize dreams?"

mordecai is drawn with a lighter color than other eevees; this was a deliberate choice on my part, and it could have some unfortunate implications if (as a hypothetical) all the light colored eevees were Good and Pure, and the darker colored eevees were Evil and Mean. it is too early in this character's development to know if that's what I'm doing, however, I will try not to! I am aware of this issue and because of that awareness I can actively work against any internal biases I might otherwise have.

now what does the choice of Eevee as my species mean? like, outside the art, I chose eevee because I was in an art RPG that had me generate Hundreds of Eevees to make characters out of, and eevees were chosen as the theme of that art rpg because (I assume!) eevees have 8 evolutions and are therefore a highly customizable pokémon. Something something the character design of eevee itself & how it's not quite a cat or dog or fox or Whatever. eevee is also a very popular pokémon! Was the choice to draw eevee influenced by its popularity?

I drew this in the default windows 10 paint program. does this have any influence on the politics of the piece? what about the choice to post it on tumblr instead of, say, Bluesky, where I also have an account? What about the choice to spend five whole paragraphs analyzing this piece–this post is part of the art, too!

I think I'm done now but I could go on longer.

[tippydoorman]

if you think too long about how all art is political you gaze into a world within our own that acts upon everything you see and its fucking crazy. i should include an essay about the politics of my art with every piece i post.

[flying-potato2]

white baby just call it selfshipping you dont have to do "thing, japan" here

[ultra-plamp]

Happy Pride Month!

[rivetgoth]

When people talk about all art being political (hard agree) they always talk about the content, themes, etc present within the art itself. Which obviously I get and obviously is a huge part of it. Of course. But I’m personally always struck by the politics surrounding the more metatextual elements of the art; that is, stuff like access to the tools needed for the creation of the art. I mean the literal materials of which an artpiece is made. This is a low-hanging-fruit example but I’m reminded of that Disney adult who tried to claim art isn’t inherently political by being like “I just drew a stick figure on a napkin, is that political? 🤣🤣” & while I think there are multiple different angles from which one could criticize this blatantly pathetic argument, I remember being really struck by like… the flagrant “waste” of implicitly throwaway resources that many parts of the world just literally don’t have and/or that carry with them deeply fraught histories of capitalist labor exploitation and destruction of natural resources. Like. Napkins?? The apolitical canvas that is paper napkins?
