I know people donāt care but Iām logging out of tumblr and might not be back for a while. I was hoping to find acceptance for my sexuality but I guess I was wrong. This truly is a bad place. Do people care to learn a little about me or understand me side of things? I am not biphobic yet I am said to be one. Iām sorry for offending anyone, I never meant to hurt people for being who I am but I guess the real world will never let you be who you are
For those scrolling through the abrosexual/abroromantic tag and is or supports them. Block honeydiscourse as she is spreading negativity in our small community and I donāt want that šš
Negativity of any kind is not the way to put across your ideas. I understand we canāt go through life without it but if you put out negativity that you are only going to spread it.
Iām sick of reading comments saying Abrosexuality is just bisexuality
I am by no means commenting against bisexual people, i know they go through their own set of struggles but I want to highlight another struggle and I just want to try to explain. I understand that most of these comments stem from confusion, abrosexual/abroromantic is not a well known term. For those reading this who donāt know (which is probably like 1 person considering my posts donāt go far and I really only rant in tumblr) Abrosexuality or abroromantic is an identity for people whoās sexual/romantic atraction is fluid. They can change from being homosexual to bisexual to heterosexual to asexual and so on and so forth. (Such is the same for romantic attraction) it is not as simple as a change in preference such as liking guys more one day and girls more the next. It is a complete change of attraction that comes with little to no warning, and can change anytime. Some people feel a change of attraction every few days, some (like myself) every few months. Some might not for years. Furthermore, people can flux between two or three identities and some a whole magnitude. Itās more complicated than a change in preference, itās a change in attraction altogether. No weāre not going through a phase or just confused. Itās more complicated than words can describe. Please respect what otherās identify as, itās their choice to find who they are and what term they use if they choose to use one. šš
that sounds like spicy bi with a hint of homophobic rhetoric
Iām sorry but if I was bi I would call myself bi. If I was preaching something even with a hint of homophobia I would not be part of this community. I understand people have their own opinions, especially when it comes to sexuality. Most of the time people simply do understand and thatās why they speak out against it. Understand they things can change. Take for example water, it can be fluid, solid and gas but either way it is always water. I flux between pan, Hetero, homo and ace but I am always me. It took me a long time to find out who I was. I tried labelling myself as bi but thatās not me. Let me be me and let others find out for themselves who they are.
The whole āchanging sexualityā thing is kinda homophobic rhetoric. Also that just sounds like your a normal person no one wants to be in a relationship all the time, like right now I havent been attracted to anyone for a couple months however that doesnt mean in suddenly aro im just a bi girl who isnāt attracted to anyone at the moment.
I did want to reply to your first comment because I donāt want my blog to be filled with hate but I felt compelled to stand up for myself. If you donāt agree with Abrosexuality then block the tag. It is that simple, you donāt have to spread negativity. Furthermore I am not calling you or anyone who is bisexual abro, being bi is 100% valid and real and I would never take that away from anyone. I am simply stating that bisexuality is different than Abrosexuality. Being abro is more than just attraction but I realise now that I understand that you donāt understand that. And please donāt talk to me about relationships, thatās something in my personal that you clearly donāt know or care about

queer is a slur, grow up
āQueerā was reclaimed as an umbrella term for people identifying as not-heterosexual and/or not-cisgender in the early 1980s, but being queer is more than just being non-straight/non-cis; itās a political and ideological statement, a label asserting an identity distinct from gay and/or traditional gender identities.People identifying as queer are typically not cis gays or cis lesbians, but bi, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, intersex, etc.: weāre the silent/ced letters. Weāre the marginalised majority within the LGBTQIA+ community, andāqueerā is our rallying cry.
And thatās equally pissing off and terrifying terfs and cis LGs.
Thereās absolutely no historical or sociolinguistic reason why āqueerā should be a worse slur than āgay.ā Remember how we had all those campaigns to make people stop using āgayā as a synonym for ābadā?
Yet nobody is suggesting we should abolish āgayā as a label. We accept that even though āgayā sometimes is and historically frequently was used in a derogatory manner, mlm individuals have the right to use that word. We have ad campaigns, twitter hashtags, and viral Facebook posts defending āgayā as an identity label and asking people to stop using it as a slur.
Whereas āqueerā is treated exactly opposite: a small but vocal group of people within feminist and LGBTQIA+ circles insists that itās a slur and demands that others to stop using it as a personal, self-chosen identity label.
Why?
Because āqueer is a slurā was invented by terfs specifically to exclude trans, nonbinary, and intersex people from feminist and non-heterosexual discourse, and was subsequently adopted by cis gays and cis lesbians to exclude bi/pan and ace people.
Itās classic divide-and-conquer tactics: when our umbrella term is redefined as a slur and weāre harassed into silence for using it, we no longer have a word for what we are allowing us to organise for social/political/economic support; we are denied the opportunity to influence or shape the spaces we inhabit; we canāt challenge existing community power structures; weāre erased from our own history.
Iām not kidding. Cis LGs have literally taken historical evidence of queer peopleās involvement in the LGBT rights struggle and photoshopped it to erase us:
Pro tip: when you alter historical evidence to deny a marginalised group empowerment, youāre one of the bad guys.
āQueer is a slurā is used by terfs and cis gays/lesbians to silence the voices of trans/nonbinary/intersex/bi/pan/ace people in society and even within our own communities, to isolate us and shame us for existing.
āQueer is a slurā is saying āI am offended by people who do not conform to traditional gender or sexual identities because they are not sexually available to me or validate my personal identity.ā
āQueer is a slurā is defending heteronormativity.
āQueer is a slurā is frankly embarrassing. Itās an admission of ignorance and prejudice. Itās an insidious discriminatory discourse parroted uncritically in support of a divisive us-vs-them mentality targeting the most vulnerable members of the LGBTQIA+ community for lack of courage to confront the white cis straight men who pose an actual danger to us as individuals and as a community.
Tl;dr:
Iām here, Iām queer, and Iām too old for this shit.
solointhesand:
I know I keep reblogging posts like this, but it matters to me. āQueer is a slurā is a TERF dogwhistle, and a lot of the younger generation is falling for it. Please pay attention to history and ask questions about whoās behind social media campaigns that undermine the inclusivity of your community.
Queer is an excellent word, especially when your identity doesnāt fit neatly within one little label. Queer is also an explicit rejection of normative expectations sexuality and gender. Itās radical as fuck.
queer is a fantastic word and I love it so much
As always āqueerā will be taken from my cold dead hands and I am very hard to kill.
Always this. I will never stop identifying as Queer, itās an essential part of my identity and no one has the right to tell he otherwise
Service dogs training to sit through a movie at a theater.
Itās actually better than that - the picture comes from dogs being trained to sit through a PLAYā¦ which means there are actors on the stage performing a musical for a theatre full of dogs.
Incredible vital update, it was a performance of Billy Elliot.
iām screaming???
Fanart for @princeanxious ās au cause itās just *chef kiss*

Know what Iām salty about?
In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art.
Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do.
Iām 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Why is this important? Because I can line something in India Ink and then go over it with watercolors. And that has CHANGED the ENTIRE way I art and the ease I can create with.
tldr: Art Teachers: teach your students what different tools do. PLEASE.
WAIT INDIA INK JS WATERPROOF ONCE IT DRIES????? THE ENTIRE REASON IVE AVOIDED MARKERS MY ENTIRE LIFE IS BECAUSE JNK BLEEDS AND YOURE TELLING ME INDIA INK IS
F U C K I N G W A T E R P R O O F
oh man your teachers did not do there jobs!
-Yo painters, use pencil if u must underdraw beneath an oil painting, the lead is archival but ideally you should be doing underdrawings in a muted earth tones (siennas, umbers, ochres or earth green) with some titanium white added to it. (The white nearly matches the canvas and earth tones naturally blend with all colors on top unless u do super thin glaze washes).
-Trying to make a natural looking warm black? Donāt use black straight from tube, Mix alizarin crimson and viridan. add raw umber to adjust for light depth.
-If your into mixed media ALWAYS use acrylic first and oil on top (the gesso on primed canvas is acrylic based and oil sits on top of it great). NEVER put acrylic paint on top of oil, the acrylic will crackle/decompose and fall apart/off the canvas.
-India ink is permanent and if your using ink from a jar it should say itās permanence. professional art grade pens usually have there permanace listed either on the pen or the companies website.
-Red cinnabar is poisonous, DO NOT EAT IT, no matter how much like fruit loops it smells.
-Translucent and transparent are NOT the same. translucent is *shiny* and a cloudier color, ideal for mixing usually ordor making vibrant colors like for eyes, cars, etc. Transparent is matte and usually a 50% transparency from an opaque color.
-ALWAYS DO A TEST SWATCH OF ANY NEW MATERIAL.
-any paint made with ātrue alizarin crimsonā āred lakeā and āchrome yellowā pigment is a fugitive paint. Fugitive means the pigment fades dramatically and disappears over time, (usually 5 to 15 years) lots of van goghs paintings have this problem. be very careful with these pigments. Alizarin crimson especially smells extremely sweet and like fruit loops or fruit loops, donāt eat it.
-gauche is a mix of watercolor and ink, proceed with caution as this material can be an asshole.
-Watercolor can be made darker/thicker by letting it dry slightly in cake form or in liquid form and can be dry brushed if u get the timing down.
-Paint liquid rubber or lay down thin pieces of painters tape on edges in watercolor paintings to Prevent bleeding between lines if u need super sharp edges.
-always tape down the entire paper edges when u paint with watercolor to a board to prevent the paper from curling as it dries.
-add salt directly into wet watercolor paintings to absorb pigment and make shit look like space.
-Always paint in well ventilated areas and avoid getting lots of paint on your hands. lots of paint is made with heavy metals and can cause cancer.
-natural materials arenāt always safe, especially
-Ones u collect yourself, do your research before grinding, burning, sanding these things especially indoors.
-use NATURAL bristles on your brushes with oil paint and SYNTHETIC bristles on your brushes for acrylic and watercolor. synthetic bristles literally break off into oil paint and stick into your painting, and natural bristles canāt handle the weight of acrylic paint and rip into 15 directions. Use hard boar bristle for the underdrawing/underpainting of an oil painting as it will force the paint into the canvas pours more effectively cause itās stronger, use softer bristles for outer layers of oil painting and blending, boar will pierce outer layers and is to hard for anything but the first layer. canāt tell what u have? clean it up and brush it on your face, softer it is the better it is as doing outer layers of color.
-if you have a decent paintersā tape, you can prewet your watercolor paper, tape it to a surface & weight it down with some books to press it flat while itās wet and help keep it from buckling later once dry, this is especially useful because for some reason, watercolor block is half again as expensive or more than a comparable sized pad or large sheets to cut down, even by the same brand
-natural sable is good for watercolor if you can afford it, i have two smaller brushes i shelled out for to try it, and while i probably didnāt treat the finer point one right, the other one is a miracle iāve had for nearly 20 years.
-chinese calligraphy brush sets are fantastic for large work and washes and way, way cheaper most times than standard brushes, and it doesnāt seem to matter how cheap they are, either. they may shed a little, but they do a really good job holding and distributing water.
Rb for any art students
A trick i learned in art school, if your paper still warps/curls and your piece is finished/mostly finished: dampen the BACK and then press it flat again til dry. This works well with thicker papers! I have not had much success with thinner material. Test it out to get the hang of it before trying on your art!

Peter Quill: We have a plan but we need your permission.
Tony: Why do you need my permission?
Peter: Because if something goes wrong, we don't want it to be our fault.
