And i think most goody 2 shoe 'allies' dont even realize this is the case. The ship is just unappealing to them "for some reason"

Peeled Jax Expressions 🥚🐣

[xolopilli-art]

"No One Will Like You When You Aren't Their Bad Boy"

A 2 AM vent peice on Jax and her upcoming transition.

💭 I really do wonder what will happen to Jax fanart once s/he comes out. All the humanized art of Jax is as a dark tan hoodied bad boy. Some of these creators have even said they dont think a trans jax is as "interesting"...

What happens when Jax is no longer a tumblr sexyman? What happens when a "niche theory" (that only the trans community seems to share) is made canon by the trans creator of the show?

My guess is she'll stop being as popular with the cis women. We've seen fans pick up and put down characters so fast...

🟤Side vent from a poc artist: I also wonder why all the bad boy fanart has jax with dark hair and ethnically ambiguous tan skin. Him and zooble (the gruff outsiders) always get made darker skinned compared to the rest of the cast - especially Gangle. Who likewise has no human qualities in her avatar. (yet both are seldom made clearly BiPoc)

Anyway, this particular Jax is based on Michael Kovach. (his voice actor) Might do another fanart that actually draws most of the cast, including Jax, BiPoc.

More doodles of creatures from the museum. 🪸 With surprise cat paw for scale.

Yes they gave the sea urchin a hat so it was only fair to give one to the pajama fish.🐟👒🐠🎩🐡🧢

Apparently sea urchins put things on their heads in the wild too. For safety or sometin'. Girl did this by choice.

the first time your canonically 90s baby, male coded fictional ai with pure intentions gets corrupted and has to be killed it hurts.

The second time - okay it also hurts.

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

[gandalfsbignaturals]

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

[xolopilli-art]

A lot of This^^^

But as a latino i dont feel like a conspiracy theorist. I know what i see is real and intentional.

Really what I feel is: guilt.

Because to be constantly pointing it out... Constantly expressing the absence... People eventually get tired of how "combative" you are. How "disagreeable" , "serious", and "mean".

You are a buzzkill. A nuisance. The person who makes watching literally any given movie suddenly awkward for others.

And YES, these feelings are on THEM to deal with and dissect. But pretty much no one ever does, so you are left in this limbo of "do i point X out? do i say nothing?". Because the only way to 100% keep white friends is to not tire them out. To not exhaust them with your emotions of endless rage or grief at a system that you see categorically erasing you or including only fantasies.

Even the progressive ones you sit with the knowledge that they have their limit, and often its shorter than what you would have expected.

So guilt.

Because to make a note about The Absence in every little thing you see, makes you the burden of everyone else.
