Voidsy

Welcome to the mind of an artist -- he/him/it -- feel free to take inspiration, rb/comment/ask additional ideas, and share your own thoughts!

[voidsysmind]

Hello! I am repurposing this dead blog to become my blog for sharing my creative ideas for all the things that I unfortunately have no time or ability to create in the moment of inspiration.

I am currently overflowing with so many ideas for things. I am incredibly sad that these things will never come to be shared with others.

I truly hope this blog will become a source of inspiration and joy for others here. If even one person takes inspiration from this blog and my ideas, I would be infinitely happy :)

As your host, you can call me Voidsy, and I welcome you to my mind.

More abt me:

I am a young, transgender, alterhuman, plural, gay man who loves horror, and many of my ideas will incorporate those sorts of themes.

I believe that morality, kindness, humanity, social activism, and dysphoria will be the most common topics that i explore (as it is what affects my life most), but I also love topics of sanity (+insanity), creativity, depression, plurality, and PLENTY more.

Painting: crying tears on top of an umbrella. Someone facing away from them under the umbrella. They're outside, it's a sunny day in the direction the people are facing, behind them is a dark rainy day

[voidsysmind]

Painting: On a beautiful sunny spring day with beautiful flowers and greenery, there is a humanoid figure in the distance with an open umbrella. There's dew left behind on the plants, and maybe even a whole rainbow. Not a cloud in sight. The figure is holding onto their umbrella with both hands, as if it might fly away from them.

Title: "It's Okay Now" or "You can Stop Now"

[voidsysmind]

Painting: a pot filled with a boiling, colorful, and swirling liquid. The bubbles are ugly and brown compared to the bright colors of the liquid. There are multiple spoons of different materials stirring the pot at once. Behind/under the pot is a gas stove. There's charred stuff next to/in the fire.

Title: "Invisible Presence" or "Marco Polo" or "One Body"

[voidsysmind]

Painting: large clock (maybe a clock tower). There is a small black cat hanging onto the minute hand by just its front paws. There are crows flying around the clock. The background is blurry or difficult to discern. A heart (the organ) is connected to the side of the clock

Title: "Just a Little Longer" or "Stop being Impatient"

Inspiration: the sheer amount of waiting it takes to get anything in relation to achieving your gender affirming anything. I'm just so done with it all. Please just let me have something, anything at all. I've been out for 5 coming on 6 years, and all that's changed is a clock that just seems to tick by faster, yet slower at the same time.

I had to wait until I'm 18 to get hrt due to my parents, and now I'm 18 i have to wait to get enough money to start it, and then I'll have to wait to get a place on a freaking wait list for either an hrt place or a doctor that specializes in trans care. AND THEN I have to wait for crap to go through, and I have to now balance depression making me not want to do anything and prepping for college and then actually going to college on top of all of that.

Painting: a dragon curled around a pile of gold. Out in the distance, there is a village blossoming with human life and such. Perhaps there is a festival or celebration going on. The dragon is facing away from the viewer. There is a feeling of longing coming from the dragon. Next to the dragon, there is a 2nd, larger dragon with a distinctly angry, cold, or defensive feeling/expression coming from the larger dragon.

Title: "Ungrateful"

Interpretation 2: Despite your privileged life as being what you are raised to be, there is still longing to be like your peers. Idolizing others happier than you because they are bold enough to be themselves (mostly in regard to being a closeted transgender person, or being an alterhuman)

Artist's interpretation: While being a privileged, powerful being, there is a disconnect from them and the ones with less power. Privileged people are taught young that they are almost a "higher being," and even so, there is still a longing to be a part of something so valuable and innocent.

[voidsysmind]

Painting I've been thinking about for like ever now:

Using brain tricks (similar to what fast food restaurants use for advertising) to make the viewer feel hungry and desire: create a piece which causes the viewer to feel distress, embarrassment, and guilt for the hunger intentionally induced on them.

The piece itself will picture a scene of gore or a topic of cannibalism in some way. The entire piece will be in the colors red, orange, and yellow, which all induce feelings of hunger and desire. The "food" depicted (perhaps teeth, a brain, a hand, or an eye?) will be presented on a plate. Uncertain if it should be (poorly) disguised to look appetizing, or if it shouldn't even have been made.

Inspiration:

[voidsysmind]

Painting: a skull cut open to show a brain sticking out the top (not really graphic. more similar to a diagram of a brain than gore). The eyes are missing, and you're able to see the brain through the eye holes. An undescribed (or lable marked out) pill bottle is shoved between the skulls teeth - or alternatively, the pills are being poured on top of the exposed brain. Maybe a hole is drilled into the forehead; reference to a lobotomy. The skull is placed next to a book on a table. The book's title (or if open the words) is unledgable, blurred squiggles, and perhaps smudge the paint off of the book. Make it intentional. Gold coins are stacked in the background. Oh oh or maybe coins are in the pill bottle. Or one in the background, at least. My parents keep a pill bottle full of pennies/change, maybe base it off of that? Maybe have it spilled. Omg have the skull on a plate yes yes yes. Not sure if the background should be plain black or wayyy too colorful like you're tripping

Title: "Kill Bad Thoughts" or "Just a Fixer-Upper" or "Release the Parasite" or "Blind Conformity" or something I don't know

[voidsysmind]

Painting: coffin with a skeleton inside, half open. The lid has a 🚻 (gendered bathroom sign) sign on it. Maybe another sign or two with "no pets" or something. Teeth scattered around or inside the coffin. Thorns surround the coffin as well as a single rose leaning against either the skeleton or on top of the coffin.

Title: "Bones Never Change" (subject to change)

Inspiration:

[voidsysmind]

Imagine a body horror story of a monster who takes pleasure in scaring humans, but slowly, they discover just how similar to the humans they torment they truly are. The monster starts to look at themself in disgust as they start to see more and more similarities. They start growing hair, skin, hands, and other such human features. What tips them over the edge is when they attempt to scare a human and that human jumps but treats them as if they were human.

The more "monsterous" the monster tries to act as, the more human they become.

And yet, the kinder they are and the more they accept they have to be human, the more monstrous they become perceived as. Their kindness let's their hair, skin, or whatever else fall back into their previous monstrous forms.

Themes: body dysphoria (gender and otherwise), perception of humanity, morality, social hierarchy, demonization of innocence, youth

Inspired by the book "Someone You Can Build a Nest in"

[voidsysmind]

Imagine a story where people are, in the most literal sense, forced into boxes (or perhaps rooms) that they are not allowed to leave. People admire celebrities, who are the ones with the tightest, most constricting boxes.

There are people who have fought for larger boxes, boxes of different shapes, and even different colors, but never for freedom. Why? Because those boxes are all they have ever known. What would happen if they were to even leave their boxes? "How selfish of them to even suggest such an idea. You already have such a large box, now you want to leave it all together? There are people out there without these boxes that you just want to throw away!"

I think that a fitting name for this story may be "Think Outside the Box." It will display themes of activism, censorship, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, (+ other similar hatered for marginalized groups), the idea of freedom, and how scary true freedom may be.

------

A way to emphasize the story's themes of activism for the marginalized would be to emphasize the fact that numerous characters may be trans, gay, POC, etc, but also the fact that there are people who are stereotypically privileged whom are in the exact same boxes as them (symbolism: societal pressure of playing the part of their particular "role" or part). Perhaps as a minor point, a character may realize they're nonbinary during the same times they realize they no longer fit in their box and they want a new one. Hell, give them neopronouns!

I believe the best perspective to tell this story through would be through the 1st or 3rd (limited) perspective of the true main character's friend. The main character will obviously want to be the one to escape, but the friend will want to stay. They fear the unknown of what may lie outside of the boxes they live in. As the story progresses, the POV character may even become even more resistant the closer they get to freedom. Hell, even after they get out, they may see a bird (synbolism: freedom) flying by, and they'll shoot it out of fear or something because they've never seen anything like it before and, well, it mightve attacked them!

I am uncertain if this should be a small group of people, if this is the entirety of the human population, if it should be a post-apocalyptic setting where humans set up shop in their safe boxes, or perhaps there is a true haven just out the doors of the boxes.

What would they do in case of a fire? Either high-tech stuff that drowns it out, or.. they get a glimpse of the outside. Ohh that would be a cool plot point: the fire escape leads everyone out into a yard, but it's fearmongered by the people in charge. Something like, "Be careful of anything green! Do not touch anything, do not eat anything, even if it looks similar to your food! And most of all: if you see anything move that isn't one of us or yourselves, shoot it!" (Mmm racism symbolism)

[voidsysmind]

Imagine a video game where basically, it would be like one of those "spot the imposter" games where you have to decide if someone is real and if they are allowed into whatever you're guarding. The thing is, is that the "imposter" stuff is all just mass hysteria, rumors, and general paranoia perpetuated by people in power.

You are given "evidence" that certain people are fake, but in reality they are immigrants and homeless people with false or outdated paperwork, people with mental illness, non-conventionally attractive people, anxious and angry people, and just people with really bad luck. Sometimes, if you ask them too many questions, they'll offer you bribes or beg to pay up next time just to get in. As time goes on, people get more and more desperate to be let into this safe space (apartment or bunker or lab or country or something) as the people's paranoia grows.

Batman, about to enter a gay bar to investigate.

Doorman: "Sorry, Bats, you gotta be gay to enter this establishment"

Batman:

Batman: tips the doorman into a kiss princess-style and strides in as if if he lives there.

Doorman: "holy crap, no one is gonna believe me."

I desperately need an AU where no one tells Damian he's Bruce's son.

They all assume that he already knows, because he always gets called The Son of The Bat, but Damian ends up thinking he's Jason's son. Why? Because Jason is the only other one around the league who has a bat print on their shirt.

Who always keeps wanting to have custody battles with Talia? Jason. Who guards him around? Jason. Who is literally always around, except for Talia? Jason.

When he does end up needing to go to Gotham, Damian probably just assumes he needs to go to his other, slightly better (Jason's words), grandfather for training just like with Ra's. Jason did, somehow, along the way feed into this, making jokes that he doesn't know Damian actually believed.

So obviously, when Jason leaves him on the porch Pre Red Hood identity reveal, the first thing that comes out of Damian's mouth when he first met Bruce was:

Damian: I am the Red Hood's son.

Bruce:

Dick:

Dick: Okay, so I wasn't expecting that..

Damian: I was sent by my mother, Talia Al Ghul to train under you.

Dick: Huh. Okay, so I did expect that. Slightly.

They only test Damian for Talia's blood, and bada bing bada boom, he's hers. Bruce tries to call up Talia for this, and she only laughs on the other line. They do still keep Damian around, reluctantly training him for Robin. Dick was only glad Talia had moved on her "beloved".

Later, after Jason's identity reveal, Bruce revels in being a grandfather only for him to look confused and go:

Jason: What do you mean you're a grandfather? No offense, but Dickie doesn't seem like the type to have kids. Same with Tim. Doesn't seem like a Teen dad to me.

Bruce, slightly concerned: What about Damian?

Jason: What about him?

Dick: Isn't he your son?

Jason: ..No? He's Bruce's. Why would you think I sent him- Oh.

In short, Damian has the hardest revelation of his life later in the batcave as they try another DNA test. Jason is laughing hard in the corner, hardly breathing

Alternatively: "you are the Bat's son."

Meets Billy Batson: "... Father?"

I think my hottest take in this Fandom is that I HATE the Tim Drake is transgender headcannon.

Not because I don't like the representation of transgender people. No. It's because of the way Fandom represents Tim Drake.

SO often I see him portrayed as a feminine UwU cinnamon roll cutie who is perfect and can do no wrong, which is already furthered through his cannon bisexuality. This sort of stereotype causes people to only see gay and transgender men as both feminine and, therefore, weak. And that's just a whole 'nother stereotype to tackle. Another day.

Also, another reason I dislike this headcannon is because every time I hear someone talk about it, Tim is *always* portrayed differently. People in fandom can never seem to understand that being a trans man does not mean woman deluxe. We are real men who just so happen to have feminine bodies. We do not (typically) have feminine minds and stereotyping us to have that demeans any sort of progress we have made to be seen and heard as men. Like. Ever.

Now, if we all treated Tim as if he was a real man like we do with... pretty much all the other batboys and not a UwU cinnamon roll female who wants to be a boy, I would have no problem. Hell, I might even subscribe to that headcannon.

You know what? I'm gonna start headcannoning Bruce Wayne as a transgender man in spite of Timmy T Boy. "But Richie! That doesn't make sense! Batman isn't feminine enough to be a trans man!" Womp womp transgender men aren't women.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk ♡

To anyone who's curious, this is Batman well written.

The comic is Batman: Universe in case you're curious

He is kind. He's funny. He's sarcastic. He has banter with everyone. Alfred is a dramatic motherfucker. So is Bruce and Dick and everyone. He has a team willing to fight and die with him. He's a good dad.

i am unironically obsessed with adam west batman not only trying to be a good dad to robin, but actually succeeding. also love robin's insane energy levels and his ability to go from seething bloodlust to manic glee in record time. i think any superman worth his S would fit right into the family ^_^
