Howdy! I'm a nonbinary butch lesbian artist and writer who loves to draw cool creatures and women.

My blog is a mix of things and not a dedicated gallery - if you're looking for my art, please check out my FA (18+) or my art tag.

My content may occasionally be not safe for work / NSFW, while I try to tag and mark things appropriately, discretion is advised.

Looking for Opinions from my Black users only! 📢

Nonblack folk you can share and read and learn!

My questions:

Do you feel policed in your emotions when it comes to interactions with your nonblack peers? How so?

What emotions do you feel like you're "allowed" to have? Or "expected" to?

Do you feel safer in some spaces versus others?

Has it ever gone awry for you, to be honest about your emotions? What made you make the decision to be honest anyway? Were there any consequences, good or bad?

I say 'nonblack' and not just white, because it's not only white folk that will police Black emotional expression. God knows it's a consistent thing to be looked down on by other groups as well; antiblackness is ubiquitous.

I'm asking because I'd like to put this link, a summary, and maybe even a few direct quotes into my upcoming lesson. If you'd rather not be cited by name in that (which is fine) just let me know in your comment or tags.

according to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a Tigrex should be able to fly. its wings are not big enough to get its ginormous muscular body off the ground. Thunder, of course, flies anyway, because he does not care what humans think is possible.

birthday gift for @gojirahunter !! i love this freak. imagine seeing 6 tons of muscle just up and start flying. i would have drawn Samuda as well but my humans were not humaning so Thunder is going solo this time.. this time…

I really do not vibe with furry nitpicks of species / fursona design outside of talking about some of the racist and cultural flagging that happens in the community because 9/10 times it's someone pointing out a design choice made explicitly for the purpose of fursuiting (so translating features as best you can to be comfortable and wearable) or just someone not making an actual irl animal.

The former is like, if you're a suiter, then you know that certain types of fursuit are limiting to wear and make. They can look amazing, but may not be great for self expression, mobility, and comfort. The latter is pretty self explanatory imo but like. I guess there will always be people who hate fun?

Said as someone with the most boring 1:1 real life leopard cat fursona ever, but. Still. Expression is important in the community, man.

Reasons Why Fans of Color Leave/Don’t Interact with Fandom

Casual racism that is brushed off as “an innocent mistake” or “they didn’t mean it” and then everyone pretending like it didn’t happen and moving on with their day (repeat)

Speaking over fans of color about issues that pertain to them specifically

When fans of color speak out about something that makes them uncomfortable or why that don’t interact with it (usually because of the racial/ethnic bias) they are accused of being anti’s or pro-censorship

Characters of color being used as scapegoats/bashed/plot devices 

Characters of color never getting happy endings/real development

Backlash against characters of color if they do anything other than be a white character’s side kick/best friend

Actors of characters of color being harassed for something their character did or didn’t do

White characters/actors getting all the attention/credit despite the fact that they are a side character to a POC or on the same level as the POC

Fanfic authors patting themselves on the back for writing a “realistic” character of color and it’s just a bunch of stereotypes

Being told that they should be happy they were even included when they call out the above people

White fans crying about persecution/exclusion because their fav character/trope/kink/ship isn’t loved by all 

Fan artists re-imaging characters of color as white/lightening skin tone

Everyone rushing to a white fans defense after a well deserved call out while the fan of color receives hate

Never having a safe fandom space and always having to be on guard with new people/fandoms/chats etc because they’ve been burned before

Feel free to add

[blacktabris]

- fetishization and depersonalization of characters of color (to serve the white character’s narrative)

- (re)writing characters of color as abusive and/or violent to infantilize white characters

- being asked to explain why ___ is racist when it’s been spoken about at length or could be googled

The funniest thing you can add to any piece of media is a boy detective. Breaking Bad needed a 13 year old child who goes around looking for clues to the caper and whatnot.
