Not all those who wander are lost.

Just another queer nerd; This is my secondary blog for reblogs, fandom, rambles, and everyday things. I draw and cosplay over on my primary; @ezra-autumn

[catnippackets]

for real once you realize that you can actually wear whatever you want and call yourself whatever name and pronouns you want and have whatever interests you want and be whatever gender you want your life gets so much better and more fun

when your cooler mutuals reblog your posts like yes i am getting a good grade in friend, which is both normal to want and possible to achieve

[imoutocoq]

just got back from therapy and i think wanting respect & acknowledgement from your respected peers might be normal in an unironic sense

I don’t think I could talk about The Sandman on here because, like, Neil Gaiman is here, just hanging out. I’d be like “Oh, I like how they visualized this one scene, it was different from the comics but I don’t think they original comics visualizations would have worked in live action “ or whatever And then Neil Gaiman might appear like “Yeah, we were having trouble figuring out how to do that scene until one of our production designers had a vivid hallucination while eating a 3AM Gyro purchased from an all-night food truck outside the Bass Pro Shop pyramid” and I don’t think I’m ready for that experience. Alternatively, I could say “Dream is a little too scrungly to be a classic Tumblr Sexyman, but he is prime meow-meow blorbo material” and Neil Gaiman might appear and say “Yeah, we were having trouble figuring out the exact ratio of Sexyman, poor little meow meow, and Blorbo, but the final characterization appeared to Tom Sturridge in a vivid hallucination while eating a 3AM Gyro purchased from an all-night food truck outside the Bass Pro Shop pyramid” and I don’t think I’m ready for THAT either.

With 2020 now behind us and 2021 starting off like a bad hangover I wanted to take a moment to look through some fun times from the past year. To start off here are my top 10 photos / digital art pieces from 2020, as chosen by you. ^^

I want to say a huge THANK YOU to Hanna Vander Woude, Rae, Lexi The First, Steven the Second, and Miles Landis for making these all possible.

I cannot express how fortunate I feel to have quarantine companions who support me, encouraged me to be my best, and who tolerate my “artistic explosions” ( if you’ve ever lived with a crafter / artist type you know the struggle). lol

They kept me sane during a very turbulent year. THANK YOU!❤️

Most prints can be found on my etsy shop :)

im quitting tumblr

ok see u tomorrow

[thatwitchrevan]

I personally wanna see less ‘you are not a burden/it’s not work to love you’ and more ‘you are worth the work it takes to love you.’ I KNOW I’m a burden sometimes. that isn’t such a terrible thing! humans are strong. we can carry burdens. and it is work for me to be there for my friends, but it’s work I’m willing to do.

we need to acknowledge this because pretending love isn’t work will never make people like me feel less guilty for accepting love. we need to talk about it so people don’t feel bad for having boundaries and not always being up to do the work. we need to accept it so we can properly appreciate what others do for us and what we’re doing for them.

yes it does take work to love you. but guess what? you still deserve love, and you deserve people who are willing to do the work to love you. it doesn’t make you bad. all love take work. and everyone is worth it.

the thing about gay bdsm dynamics is they will make explicit what is implicit in normative cisheterosexual dynamics and then those complicit in cisheterosexuality will act all scandalized about seeing themselves in the funhouse mirror

[sewer-swan]

in kink as in gender, a choice instead of an invisible pressure is reprehensible. If you put on the big clanky chain, you necessarily have the big shiny key to it, and you show it to be merely a thing, not a natural force.

[conservativemalarkey]

I think the thing that's even scarier about kink, to the wrong sort of person, is that... it's a game. It's meant to be fun. You are not meant to take it too seriously, and if you start taking it too seriously, you will have to stop.

The kind of person who thinks that the big clanky chain is a natural force is also the kind of person who thinks that you should take that force SERIOUSLY AS DEATH. you shouldn't treat it like, say, the weather, like a nuisance to be planned around- no, you should let it rule everything that goes into and out of you. (Pun fully intended.) Every thought, every word, every relationship dynamic, even the food you eat is supposed to be constrained by Your Social Role As An Hetero Man/Woman. You're supposed to CONSTANTLY project dominance or submission with everything you do.

....And then kinksters, gay OR straight, come in with the big clanky chain and big shiny key and fluffy pink handcuffs and goofy-ass Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain outfits and say, "actually, social roles are a costume you can put on or take off, and we're having a costume party." It's not just that they're showing the natural force isn't all that natural- it's that they're making it into a big, campy joke.

And for someone who's spent their entire life abusing themself in the name of patriarchy? Turning that constant coercion into a thing you can laugh at and put away when you're done? It's unthinkable.

[libertineangel]

I am as I often am suggesting you all read some Baudrillard because "kink is the simulation that reveals gender to be a third order sign" is a hell of a take (complimentary)

[vaspider]

This is also why drag terrifies them. If gender is a fun costume that you can exaggerate to your whim, put on and take off, be silly or sexy or both, be camp and beautiful or handsome or both in turns? If it isn't all written in permanent ink from before you're born, not just gender itself but gender roles and presentations?

If you can name yourself Otto von Titzling and paint on stubble or call yourself Ruby D. Wrightway and sing Liza covers and then just take it off and go to your desk job, then what the fuck are they letting their lives get dictated by those gender roles for?

I'm not saying everyone who objects to drag is secretly gay or trans or whatever - though some surely are, just statistically speaking - but that a lot of them are made miserable by their gendered expectations of themselves and others, or rely upon the gendered expectations they have of others to control those other people. (And I don't just mean men, don't get it twisted - people of all genders enforce patriarchal gender roles as a tool of control all the time.)

The idea that you don't have to be constrained by gender, but could instead be freed by it, scares the shit out of a lot of people. So they get real, real scared of anything that shows them that gender is just another performance. You make up your own rules, and that scares them.
