I’M BACK!!! I’m sorry for being gone for a while, I was a little busy and had MAJOR art block. Now I’m probably gonna be posting small unimportant doodles or pictures of Floyd, I’ve been tweaking my art style too so yeah.. Anyway, I also just redesigned my OC Alfonzo, I really wanna show him off but idk if people will be interested so if you are please tell me. For now, take some Floyd’s :]

I think a lot of discussions would be made better by recognizing that masculinity and femininity aren't inherently preferred, but adherence to cishet standards is, which is slightly different.

This is why a masculine trans man* or a feminine trans woman* often still face stigma - it isn't that they aren't gender conforming to the gender they are. It is that cishetero standards do not want trans people to exist at all, in any capacity.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #it's just frustrating when the conversation is 'oh well [x] is ALWAYS rewarded!' #because in certain contexts it won't be #the sweeping generalization and assumptions will only alienate others who may have similar interests and goals #whenever i see these conversations it does feel pretty antagonistic toward people percieved as 'rewarded' for the way they're treated... #...and it's odd to me because it's not challenging any systems in any way. challenging the systems itself is a very momentous task... #...so while i do understand if somebody isn't ready or able to challenge those systems that doesn't mean the answer is going after... #...individuals. basically this is a branch off the tree of 'is this punching up or just attacking somebody?'

This is weird. It's a miscellany of sheds and buildings in an industrial area of Cleveland, OH, turned into a home with 2bds, 2ba, for $1.199M.

The first shed in front of the gate must be one room, but I don't know which one it is. Maybe it's the office b/c the description says you can seamlessly work and live here.

This is the longest white building that comes last, and farthest from the front. It's been completely converted into a home.

Got some nice tile and exposed brick in bath #1. The buildings are up against the factory next door, so they probably share walls.

Now, bedroom #1 has a different brick wall, maybe from another neighboring building.

There's a hall here and what looks like an outside door.

And, here's bath #2.

Whatever this floating cabinet is, doesn't look very secure.

Bedroom #2. I like the special touch of the old fashioned metal railings on the bed.

Now, we progress down to the next set of buildings.

I don't know why they don't count this little standalone unit as a bedroom. It's got a cute little fireplace and a fridge. Maybe b/c it's not part of the "house" building?

This enclosed one has a gravel floor and a firepit table.

The open part has a cement floor w/a carpet, outdoor furniture, and some sort of a grass wall.

Then there's a covered picnic table. Is that a pond on the right? Plus another small free-standing shed.

And, then behind the shed is a U-Haul storage box. The outdoor area also has a basketball hoop, b/c there's no lawn or yard or anything.

There's parking behind the main house building.

It's a long 7,405 sq ft lot, as you can see by the red diagram and it is butted up against the building next door.

Seriously, this really is an odd place for a residence.

A good couple of months ago, I rewatched the Ferdinand and Hubert FEW3H supports with the intent to re-imagine Ferdinand’s twin jewel speech as a comic—until when this first part of their A support totally derailed me. I realized that Hubert’s line here about how easily Ferdinand could kill him is:

A) actually hubert’s twisted way of saying “I trust you enough for you to kill me and get away with it”, and

B) totally angst in waiting because Ferdinand *does* kill Hubert in other routes, and Hubert’s line is such a funny wink wink to the player acknowledging that

So anyway, obviously I had to adapt that specific scene into a comic instead. I’ll probably do the twin jewels speech at some point, but rn I have another comic in the works for these two that’s not support related, so stay tuned I guess?

i cant stop thinking about these chat messages . and i can’t even explain why they make me so insane because my brain just keeps repeating What if theyre evil. But what if they’re not

#zeph.text #i watched this vod like a month ago and i still think about zam and subz’s conversations during it too frequently #their early relationship is so dear to me #it’s new and odd and neither of them are quite sure what to make of it but they’re something like friends- #-when neither of them really have that. subz is a recluse and zam isn’t on good terms with many people anymore let alone close with anyone #and it’s a fickle thing but it’s a companionship that they both appreciate #and i’d continue this but i really need to sleep . also this post wasn’t even about them in the first place. wh #anyways yeah. unintentional foreshadowing . i’m clawing the walls and foaming at the mouth #i want to bash my head in with a hammer

*shaking my head* AI Beach Jail would never have happened in my postcanon where Minkowski accidentally becomes head of Goddard Futuristics due to a contractually-enforced game of dead man's shoes chicken Rachel and Cutter were playing for years and now everyone else at the company thinks they're living a corporate thriller while Minkowski thinks she is living an intense but touching emotional drama occasionally punctuated by having to demolish the latest VP who thought they'd try something

Have you seen that post on how Cersei pushing Jaime into forcing sex on her is an abuse technique on her end?

no, but i checked his tag now lol. while i know that george explicitly expressed that the sept scene was intended as consensual by him, i still believe that jaime’s pattern of pushing to have sex with cersei, and how, speaks of an unhealthy relationship with consent in this relationship on his part, a lack of respect for boundaries on his part, as well as objectification on his part that cannot be removed from the context of this society’s gender dynamics, especially when it concerns cersei’s themes and her character (to contextualize and expand on what i mean, heres a very quick collection of quotes regarding how jaime’s relationship to cersei, sex, swordplay, and even violence blend or function similarly in relation to very heavy dissociative tendencies):

i understand the jc dynamic’s set up:

“She has never come to me, he thought. She has always waited, letting me come to her. She gives, but I must ask.”

“She wanted to draw his face to hers for a kiss. Later, she told herself, later he will come to me, for comfort. “We are his heirs, Jaime,” she whispered. “It will be up to us to finish his work. You must take Father’s place as Hand. You see that now, surely. Tommen will need you . . .”

i also understand how george seems to establish communication and patterns within this dynamic that reinforce his expressed intention, which is also apparent in a scene that a third party witnesses and how that mirrors the sept, and i obviously also do not think these two would do all of this healthily and establish things akin to safe words (though i take issue with a lot of things here still when it comes to grrm and how consent is framed):

and i understand george framing cersei utilising sex, or even love and affection, as a means to have power, and that being a big factor in this relationship’s dynamic and how she takes control (see instances when cersei does initiate— jaime’s narration is not entirely correct, we know of the inn, which is unique but important, so it is interesting that he chooses not to connect this until feast, that would mean confronting something he doesn’t want to— and what motives she has: “She smiled for him, so sweetly. “Do you remember the first time I came to you like this? It was some dismal inn off Weasel Alley, and I put on servant’s garb to get past Father’s guards.” “I remember. It was Eel Alley.” She wants something of me. “Why are you here, at this hour? What would you have of me?” His last word echoed up and down the sept, mememememememememememe, fading to a whisper. For a moment he dared to hope that all she wanted was the comfort of his arms.”

but i do not think that changes much about the issues on jaime’s part, or how a lot of fandom frames cersei. we know cersei only enjoys sex with jaime (it is sex that is categorized as different from lancel, osney, taena, and robert — all of these also cannot be conflated for obvious reasons — by her), she says so, but that doesn’t change that she still believes that it is her only source of power and means through which she can reach equal ground within her society. we can understand why cersei thinks and functions this way: we understand how she was reared and how she was viewed as a sexual object and a tool for political transactions with no autonomy since childhood by every adult around her. we see how and why jaime is needed by her to feel “whole”, and how he is her “sword.” it is also not difficult to acknowledge that while the abusive dynamic is not what i would consider equal: jaime does not verbally berate her to the degree she does him, does not physically hit her and throw things at her, does not use her or emotionally abuse her the way that she does him (and no, i personally do not agree with people that say they are equally terrible to each other or they equally benefit from this relationship), jaime still ultimately has power over her due to his gender (the physical is obvious, but on top of that this is a medieval society with extreme levels of gender inequality), and nothing will really erase that because this relationship does not exist in a vacuum. this is not diminished by how this relationship functions, her status as queen and jaime’s status as her kg, and other variables that play into the unequal power dynamic. it will always have to be acknowledged that cersei is a woman + everything that comes with that being the case in a medieval society with complete patriarchal domination. i also think the unhealthy belief system of “we are one. you are me. i am you. we are two halves of a whole” will have effects on the understanding of consent and how both parties function in the relationship. i think this extreme delusion would lead to a plethora of issues when it comes to consent and boundaries. with cersei too, the moment she (including her offering sex) is rejected by her “other half” she emphasizes and says things like “you swore that you would always love me.” and “i was a fool to ever love you” or starts verbally berating him, emasculating him, being ableist etc. this relationship operates on some absurd conditions and ultimatums, it is not healthy, hence things like “the things I do for love” too. in reality, it really is the opposite of “unconditional destined lovers.” both of them have things that they end up prioritizing over the other, and both have an incorrect idea of the other that fits their specific needs and wants. i just despise this whole “cersei groomed and manipulated jaime since they were children” bullshit. a child is not capable of this. teenaged cersei was navigating the strict and dehumanising boxes that her father and society forced her into since she was 7 years old. she looked to her brother for comfort and escape as much, if not in many ways more at this point, as he did. i also think cersei escapes into the relationship to subvert those societal patterns in many ways (i have seen people discuss that jaime views her as an equal and a person more so than others: “If I were a woman I’d be Cersei.”) but this still does not change the flaws that jaime has. he is not only a man in westeros, he was also reared by tywin lannister lmao. he is a misogynist with a skewed understanding and view of a lot of things. no point in denying this.

i also understand “mutual abuse is not real”, and understand the damage ignoring that can do to narratives revolving around victims of abuse, and the issue with framing ‘retaliation’ or ‘bad victims’ as mutual abuse (see discussions regarding robert and cersei for example and some of the putrid narratives that come out of that), but we are talking about fiction and its themes, discussing an author’s known intention and execution of that intention (that we can also criticize), as well as what is written in a text, and i do not think we should be ignoring the nuances when it comes to applying a modern lens to a medieval society with some very different and more severe and strict paradigms when it comes to gender inequality and the oppression of women.

here are george’s actual comments that i do not believe contradict the bulk of my perspective either tbh:

#pls be normal when it comes to this conversation theres a reason i hate talking about it #bc shit like this being approached from but muh meow meow or shipping nonsense is fucking obnoxious #ask #cw abuse #cw rape #i tried to balance george’s intentions and the flaws i personally see in his writing and my personal perspective and whats also clearly #indicated in the text #also #i am afab with a relationship to this topic and if u r gonna respond with deeply odd comments i will ignore u lol #jaime is my fav i am not ‘hating on him’

sometimes i think about how when i saw tame impala in 2018 a security guard handed me a setlist and then some girl ran up behind me and shoved me down and took it, and then in 2019 i saw them again at a different festival, and somehow ended up standing next to the SAME GIRL and her sister, and a security guard handed me a setlist AGAIN and the sister ripped it out of my hands and gave it to her sister, aka the girl who shoved me over for it the year before 😭

#WHAT ARE THE ODDS #we were making casual conversation in the crowd and i told them i saw tame at pitchfork and the sister was like #‘omg we were at pitchfork too! my sister got a setlist!’ and she was like ‘yeah i had to shove a girl over for it tho’ #bitch that was me! #i’ve never been handed a setlist except for those two shows and BOTH TIMES SHE TOOK IT FROM ME #just was scrolling through old concert photos and reignited my bitterness lol

Heartbreaking! Goro Akechi doesn’t love or hate sweets, but a secret third thing (pleasantly neutral)

#jest replays p5r (gayass%) #akechi goro #Let me say that I will always defend having fun with headcanons. #But I always thought it a little odd that people jumped to him HATING desserts just because he said he wasn’t partial to them. #he can and does enjoy them! but he probably prefers other stuff. #but also lmao rip to however he used to feel about pancakes because now he can’t even stand the word #if we really want to speculate he might enjoy fruit tarts or something if he’s used to eating apples frequently #sources say he eats out a lot and tries the latest food trends for conversation pieces and that taste doesn’t matter to him #so i think he feels neutral about most foods. we can assume he likes sushi based on him actively bringing it up. #and he likes leblanc’s coffee #but however he feels about spicy food we know he can’t handle it well lmao

always wild to get the most horrifically transphobic comments from someone then check their profile to see they have “she/they” in their bio.

#and it’s so weird bc they always come from this odd place of being defensive of womanhood #like in a very te/rfy way #like ‘well you’re a MAN now so you couldn’t POSSIBLY understand what us FEMMES go through’ #like bestie that was literally me a year ago #i fully do understand #it feels very ‘silence gender traitor’ #and like #idk how to say this in a less abrasive way #but changing your pronouns or being nonbinary doesn’t mean you can’t be transphobic #bc in the past few weeks i’ve experienced a WEIRD amount of transphobia from non transitioning nonbinary people #who just REFUSE to get that our experiences are different #or who look down on me for making the ‘wrong’ choice in my transition #and like obviously not all nonbinary ppl are like this #but a lot of non transitioning ppl who were afab tend to be vulnerable to falling for te/rf rhetoric #just by virtue of their life experiences and which communities they often start out in #and like this is obviously part of a larger conversation abt ra/df/rn rhetoric in queer spaces #but it’s just one of those things i wish i could talk abt without ppl immediately jumping to conclusions abt my views
