wait do you have a fav boys character yet ?

i really like butcher but i feel like that's a basic answer and also the wrong answer. in another world id like frenchie but i can't get over how much i hate the actor. I love maeve theres never a moment she's on screen where im thinking get this woman outta here she's always entertaining to me. i like starlight but (and this is probably a bit nasty to say) there's smth a little uncanny valley about her sometimes where when she's talking im not listening but staring at her face trying to see what features throwing me off. I hate ashley but the actress played an insufferable character in jessica jones too and I really appreciate her ability to play The Most annoying woman you know.

centrist answer i like them all (except stormfront. hated her before i even knew she was a nazi. she was on insta live and i was waiting for her to explode and die) but my fave would have to be butcher bc i find im rooting for him the most and constantly justifying his actions. but sometimes karl urbans accent pisses me off. also black noir but he doesn't Do anything so it's hard to have him as a fave bc he's barely there.

#ameeras.got.mail #kieran tag #ik men like soldier boy so ill wait to see him do some evil disgusting horrendous thing that would make most ppl go ew he sucks but make #cis men ages 18-35 go wow hes soo cool #i like kimiko too but i dont think im allowed to say shes my fave when sometimes when shes like i dont want to be a weapon anymore :( im #mad at her and thinking get over it. i like mm but hes kinda this mother hen character and i dont rly tend to favour characters who are the #rational voice of reason like can we please get some conflict here #hughies whatever. i rly like his dad though lets go simon pegg #in the 7: homelander sucks. i find a train fun but his athlete storyline wasnt compelling to me personally bc the more i thought about it #the more i thought his superpower sucks. despite it all i find the deep kinda fun. i like that hes a scientologist. #didnt like transparent. was meh about lamplighter. didnt like whats his name sonicboom?? had a personal vendetta against that hijabi supe #we saw for like 2 seconds girl what are you doing there !!!!!! why are you playing into the diversity market !!!! #like edgar but in the way everyone likes giancarlo esposito's characters #nadia is whatever she was always meh to me even as a background character but i rly love the idea of having the superpower to explode #peoples heads with your mind i cant help but think of the xmen and think about if there was a mutant with the ability to explode heads with #their mind and that was their only ability and what a hard fucking sell that would be for xavier #(ive never read the xmen comics and have only seen some of the movies so i like to imagine charles xavier as lilo in the lilo and stitch #cartoon where every episode she would find an experiment with a unique function to destroy and would have to find it a home where it could #help instead. like yeah this experiment fattens people up and eats them lets put him in a resturant or smth #but with mutants #this mutant makes ice lets send him to a fridge company. this mutant explodes heads lets.... erm. #)

whenever there’s discourse like some gay guy listed his fave queer movies and didn’t include enough wlw or whatever, all i can think is. holy shit you guys are cis.

#vent / rant #if i called out everyone who didn’t include trans media in their fave queer media the list would be ALL OF YOU #personal lists are subjective and expecting someone’s taste to perfectly match up with ideals of equal representation is #insane but also extremely revealing about what your blind spots are #catty arguments about whether cis gay men or cis lesbians have the most rep just unintentionally reveals the insane gap between #cis gays and trans people here #you are both very very very spoiled in comparison. i would know. i’m mlm myself and not once has it given me 10th the pain of being trans #yes this is technically oppression olympics but it’s also really fucking honest #so cope + accept cis privilege and stop arguing about catty dumb bs #and don’t ask me for trans rep recommendations either because the whole point is we have scraps of crumbs and most of it is bad #certainly not a lot of the happy fluffy safe and comforting media that we see more and more for the cissises #not su /

i am not an avid mcr fan, just the other day i struggled to name 3 of their songs, but i just saw someone compare the cheerleader thing to harold styles and i rly do not believe that is the same at all. in fact, i think i’m offended on the emos’ behalf

#danbles #im rly tired of gender non-conformity being treated with the same standard as conventional beauty #i don’t like the idea of it being marketable or having to conform to be appealing (is that not literally the point??) #idk abt you but men get called slurs for wearing nail polish where i live 💀 #i think ppl should celebrate their fave wearing a cheerleader dress #not to mention harry is a cis man that started dressing more femininely only once it was smth ppl could be rewarded for #and from what i understand the mcr guy has been doing this since forever and has always been vocally supportive of and inspired by trans ppl #also harry has brought nothing original to the table since he’s been called out time and time again for stealing jaun gabriel’s exact look #there they go again praising a white man for stealing from poc #i get it if you guys are annoyed by all the mcr you get on your dash #can’t relate bc i like seeing my mutuals excited over their interests but you do you #but don’t act like they’re the same lmao #this isn’t even my battle to fight i honestly dont care abt mcr like that but yk #pop culture osmosis #and im consistently disappointed by the bad takes ppl have abt gender non-conformity #so this was more of a stepping stone to air out those frustrations #bottom line. ‘idc if a man wears a skirt but they should at least try to make it look good’ isn’t rly the take you think it is

tumblr bitches will see a clearly closeted gay male character be the victim in a deeply emotionally abusive/neglectful and power-imbalanced relationship with a woman that is intrinsically tied to his deeply internalized homophobia and his emasculation by others and a narrative of how he fails to cope with that, and say "wow he's such a wife SHE'S such a wife actually what a literal woman and lesbian 😊😊😊💗💗"

#and they think theyre being subversive lol #like feminize your male faves sure yeah its fun but like #theres a point that its honestly gone too fucking far lol #yknow like yes theres a decent amount of overlap between gay men and transfemininity #and using she her for gay men is kinda ingrained in the culture #but yall realize its like. meant to be glib right #after a point it does become straight up misgendering #and even if the target in question is fictional and cant tell you to stop it still seems just fucking bizaree #like its just yuckydisgusting its fucking weird #ntm like. hcing cis male characters as being transfem when you yourself are not transfem... #didnt we all agree years ago that that was a big nono lol #and then going so far as to translesbianify him when like the CORE of said character includes desiring men #desiring men as a man bc he is gay.... #like i literally do not get it whats wrong with you lol #ok to rb

why must every trans character be afab

#had a cnvo w a friend where i told him i forget hes trans #and he was like well do u think im cis or something #and i was like no its just youre such a boy person that i literally cant imagine you ever being something else #like obvs i know he is trans bc. we're friends #idk #i think that women and afab people tend to dominate fandom spaces and theres a desire to read in representation to your fan stuff #and as we r all aware one way that manifests is by making everyone gay but also it seems to manifest in most of the trans characters #be afab #and like theres nothing wrong with that per se #but like in my corner of the internet there is just so little trans hc about amab people #like theres the occasional nod to trans women as goddesses and as overwhelmningly beautiful and shit #but its often done i feel in the same way that a lot of peoples attraction to women in general is done #like how peple will write literal essays about their male faves and then also turn around and be like ah yes. Woman <3 and thats the extent #of the love for the favorite girls #i feel like its related somehow yk #like a way to further project onto a male character is to give him top surgery scars bc its relatable #and you know since fandom is dominated by afab people thats gonna happen #but idk i wish there was more stuff about amab people #this post is also ful of my own baises and the psots that i have just seen so jot that down lol #anywya #ceros posting

Man i just.Why do DC fans prioritize trans Jason over the actual representation in his story.Yes yes yes he has tons of transmasc swag so there's this he/they weird goth tboy so true but in CANON,almost all his important people are poc or women and every one of his love interests is BOTH and they're......completely erased in trans Jason headcanons,as if they can't perfectly co-exist

I've seen literally ZERO posts of Duke included in 'All Batboys are trans' in all my years as a Batman fan when he's Jason's favorite brother.No Talia helping out with adjusting to his Lazarus Pit testosterone and surgeries combo when HER FAMILY OWNS IT and when SHE WAS THERE WHEN HE GOT THROWN IN.T4T Jaytemis/Jayrose?Nonexistent and nobody even aknowledges they're a part of his lore while also complaining about lack of female characters because they refuse to seek them out so they can focus on their female coded binary white boy.Him and Stephanie being transmasc/transfem solidarity as found trans siblings?I may as well be dreaming if i ever see get to see it.I can't even enjoy the ones of him with Dick and Damian unless it's just them because it's genuinely so upsetting to see Tim too but no Duke.And i'm not gonna touch on the all loads of smut that claim to be representation but are actually fetishizing with ZERO respect or care for his transmasculinity other than i hope y'all get over that internalized trans*phobia soon and that fuckass transmisogyny with your minus zero inclusion of transfems,be it canon girls or egg headcanons

It literally dosen't matter if you make Jason trans if you erase everything THAT'S ALREADY THERE.As a black trans femme,i don't want your whitewashed bullshit.Jason is already rep-He's poor and mentally ill with ptsd and implied cluster b disorder(s)and with the add on of the afrolatino side of the DC fandom claiming him i'm good with those but y'all erase THAT too by making him rich by Bruce given nepotism baby status and a million other things you've made up because you just can't stomach the thought of some peasent being your fave,you woobify him by downplaying his symptoms so he can be your lil bad boy bf you can fix with your coquettish wiles or whatever the fuck and you don't see him as afrolatino because of a connection and relatability like we do but because you think it adds 'spice' to him or are a snowbunny or both.He's still him if he's cis but he's not himself if dosen't have those traits i said because they're actually fucking canon and believe it or not,canon IS better sometimes and you'd know that if you bothered to read and watch it

Jason's story is NOT a trans metaphor.Jason's story is about grief and poverty and trauma and the poc and women and woc he loves and cherishes and this is why so many of us irl love him.It's not Jason's story if there's no Talia or Dick or Damian or Rose or Artemis or Stephanie or DUKE,who IS a Batboy,who IS a Robin,who IS Jason's FAVORITE,NONE of who are options for him but the people he actively CHOOSES to have as parts of his life.Jason's story is NOT about YOU.Not everything is

I must know your thoughts on my king Alfred Pennyworth.

ooo I like this one, I wasn't expecting it.

Sexuality Headcanon- Cis, aro and ace. Although I don't think he knows that. He just thought he would never want to settle down with anyone and raise a family. (He said, while raising Bruce because Thomas and Martha Wayne loved him so much that he was considered next of kin)

OTP- Platonically, Martha and Thomas Wayne.

BROTP- I think that Thomas specifically thought of him a brother.

NOTP- Bruce

First Headcanon that pops into my head- Idk if this is stated in canon at all, but he genuinely thinks of Bruce as a son. Never in a million years would he try and replace Thomas, he only really realized it when Bruce brought home Dick and thought. "Oh, a grandchild!"

Favourite line from this character- "Perhaps you relied on my master's vow against using lethal force. Let me assure you that I subscribe to no such niceties." he says, as he loads a shot gun

One way in which I relate to the character- I can relate to his protectiveness and lowkey judgement of Bruce lol

The thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character- I don't like it when he's too passive when Bruce is being an asshole and he's just judging him. You know if he saw Bruce hit one of his kids, he's getting a full lecture and writing out an apology letter.

cinnamon roll or problematic fave?- problematic fave. He's british, what do you want from me??

#thanks for the ask!! #shut up spicy

Ahsoka's place in SW can be a complicated thing, because I feel both things about her--I too am often frustrated by how Filoni writes her, but I too am also grateful that her character exists and isn't the "default" straight white cis dude character. (Though, I do wish she were played by someone other than RD because of All That.)

Ahsoka got so much flak when she first appeared, people hated her just for existing, for daring to take up any space in the Star Wars story, and then she swung around to being nearly put on a pedestal by a large chunk of the fandom, she was lionized pretty heavily in some corners, and I think we're now going through the further growing pains of backlash against the hype, especially because Ahsoka is in the position of often being used as a bludgeon against the Jedi.

To be honest, I don't see nearly as much criticism of Ahsoka's character as I do for other popular characters, I see far more of Obi-Wan and Anakin and Yoda, but maybe that's just the sphere of experience I have, but I see that criticism balanced out with a ton of fic, art, and positive commentary about her. And it makes me wonder if she's in that awkward spot of not quite as central to the story as the movie characters, but more important than almost any other SW character (in the sense of any one character ever being able to be more "important" than another, you know what I mean) where we haven't quite settled into a stable balance of how to approach her character.

So, she's high level enough now that she can take some people being critical of her character or even just flat-out not being kind to her, because she has so much support from the story itself and from all across the fandom, even as honestly I haven't seen much that's been notably mean to her character. Sure, I see a few posts talking about how Ahsoka is Filoni's Blorbo, but are they truly more common than the posts that are celebrating her character? Genuinely wondering, because that hasn't been my experience. (Honestly, I would say Qui-Gon fans have it worse, given that he's another of Filoni's Blorbos, just without the added bonus of actually having anything fun to counter balance it, where even the people who say he was a True Jedi don't really care about Qui-Gon, you know? There's no skits, no commentary, etc. Just a handful of fic authors who are quietly doing their own thing and being the good in the world they want to see.)

At the same time, I get what you're feeling, that it feels uncomfortable to be critical of a female character, especially one who is played by a WOC, especially in a fandom that is pretty fucking vicious towards female characters having anything to actually do in the story. That the criticism of Ahsoka's character/status as Filoni's Blorbo isn't always fair or considerate, because people are frustrated and SW fandom wears all our nerves down to the last.

I'm not really sure where I land with all of this, because I get both sides, the frustration and the affection both, and I think there needs to be space for both in fandom just because we can't police other people's reactions to stuff. It's hard to continue liking her when she's being pitted against your faves, it's hard to be kind to Jedi fans when they're frustrated because she's being used as a bludgeon against their faves, it's hard to just walk away from people ignoring that Ahsoka is really meaningful to a lot of people because she's a non-romance-focused female character coded as/played by a woman of color, it's hard not to feel like Ahsoka's such a popular character that she can take a few people on tumblr not liking her.

My best advice is to just keep loving Ahsoka in the way that you think will attract the other friends you want to have around you--like, for me, when I talk about Anakin, I often try to do so in a way that's affectionate towards him and the Jedi, how much they loved him and how much I think he loved them in returned, because that's who I want to gravitate towards in fandom, those who like both. I try to do the same with Qui-Gon now and again, when I start getting frustrated by how he's used to bludgeon the Jedi, I start going HEY GUESS WHAT I'M EMOTIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH QUI-GON LOVED HIS JEDI FAMILY and it makes me feel better! I would love to see more people do the same with Ahsoka! Prop her up by appealing to how much she loves other characters, too! Like, every time I get frustrated at the way some of fandom treats her, I remember SHE WANTED TO GO BACK TO THE JEDI, SHE LOVED THEM, and I'm like THAT IS MY GIRL I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE IS SO BRAVE TO STRUGGLE THROUGH ALL THIS AND STILL FIND THE LOVE IN HER HEART.

Or sometimes, like with Bo-Katan, I like to lean into them being a hot mess because yessssssss I love a hot mess of a lady because I am a hot mess of a lady and Felt That. I hope Ahsoka gets to be all kinds of deliciously fucked up in her series and making mistakes and learning and being interesting and working her way back to the surface from her own depths because she is SUCH a strong character and deserves to be crunchy as hell/have bite as a character, like HOW MANY YEARS did she stew in her guilt about Anakin, refusing to let it go? How long did she hold onto that fear, so much that even the Force had to smack her in the face to try to make her let it go on Lothal? GIRL, I AM CRYING FOR YOU, YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH, LET ME GET YOU SOME SOUP AND I HOPE THE FORCE-GHOSTS ALL COME BOTHER YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE EATING ENOUGH, because I love a character that has bite.

This kind of got away from me, but that's usually where I end up when trying to wrap my head around the frustration of a character's place in fandom. I get why people are frustrated with the way Filoni writes her, but also the frustration of feeling like the important representation of her character sometimes gets lost in the shuffle, that both sides have validity, and my best way out of this is to double down on loving everyone in this bar.

[morally-grey-girlbosses]

Welcome to the Morally Ambigious Girlboss Tournament!

Have you ever thought "damn, she's a little evil but that's okay"? Has your fave girlie committed warcrimes, perhaps atrocities, perhaps a few murders? Do you need her freed because she only did some of that? Then this may be the tournament for you!

Submission Rules:

Submissions are open until July 29th, though I reserve the right to close them off early if I somehow get flooded with submissions.

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THE SAME CHARACTER MULTIPLE TIMES. You are free to make as many submissions of different characters as you want.

The first serious submission I receive will become the avatar for the blog.

No characters from Harry Potter. If anyone raises concerns about other potentially problematic media, we will hold a vote as to whether it should be allowed.

No characters from real life, or fictionalized/exaggerated versions of real-life people (DSMP characters, youtuber egos etc.) unless its REALLY funny.

No more than two characters from any given work are allowed in the final bracket. If more than two characters are submitted, we will hold a play-in poll to determine which two will enter the main bracket.

Girlbossing is a vibe, not a gender specification. I will probably not be allowing any cis men to enter, but I won't be restricting it to only women, either. If there's any doubt as to whether a character counts as a girlboss, we will hold a qualifier poll.

I will try to include as many submissions as I can! However, in case I somehow get absolutely flooded with submissions, I am capping it at 256 girlbosses.

Because of my personal biases and love for them, Gertrude Robinson (The Magnus Archives) and Anne (Woe.Begone) are submitted automatically.

Tournament Rules:

This will be a double elimination/loser's bracket style tournament, in order to minimize any hurt feelings from people's faves being eliminated immediately.

I will try to reblog any and all positive propaganda, and post any and all positive propaganda asks, but I will NOT be giving attention to any propaganda against a character.

Please remain civil. This is a fun tournament for some slightly evil girlbosses to battle it out. Anyone who starts giving anyone else hate over this will be blocked.

I reserve the right to change or add to these rules as I remember any that I forgot.

Submissions below!

in light of the john mulaney thing, it's time to remember that parasocial relationships are incredibly unhealthy and you need to divorce yourself from them. personally, my initial thought when i was told the news was "i trusted you", so i'm not perfect in this regard either.

you should do this not only because it won't hurt as much when they mess up, but because it allows you to stay unbiased and objective so you can analyze your feelings and reactions.

i know it's hard to let people go, even just famous people you like, but you'll save yourself so much heartbreak and anger AND become a better ally to the people affected by the actions of your faves.

we cannot allow people like dave chappelle to continue to have this platform, and john mulaney -- knowing VERY WELL a large chunk of his audience is queer, and even comments on this and talks about how often folks confuse him for being queer himself -- just did it in front of thousands of people. this is not a slip-up, there is no way in hell he's unaware of chappelle's anti-trans rhetoric considering he refers to him as one of his best friends.

sorry, but you can't just do performative allyship and put on your nice guy persona just to throw us all under the bus. you don't get to be the One Good White Cis Guy anymore unless you actively address these issues.

New Category: Girl Direction

Not to be a lesbian on main, but -- girls. Chef's kiss, 13/10, no notes. So what if -- hear me out -- what if our favourite boys... were girls???

Since this rec list will be posting on February 1, aka the first day of Femslash February, I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some of the wonderful genderbending that goes on in this fandom! Submit your fave Girl Direction fics using this form. Any and all ships (or no ships!) are welcome to be submitted.

I am defining Girl Direction as having at least one member of One Direction identifying as a girl -- it can be all five (or as many as are in the story), it can be just one, it can be anywhere in the vastness between. Trans girls/women and non-binary characters that at least sometimes identify with femininity are included; trans boys/men and non-binary characters that identify solely with masculinity or other/no genders are not (though I have trans/enby characters as a potential future category -- fill out the theme suggestion form if you want to boost that theme up the ranks!). Cis men who explore femininity are also not included in this category.

Artist of the Week:

I've been doing this for two weeks now where I spend the weekend highlighting and bringing back the art of one amazing artist who has made fandom so much better. This week's artist highlight is the incredibly talented, wonderful, and deserving of all kudos and love @naturalshocks who makes such amazing traditional art. A teeny interview with the artist, under read more <3

Which do you use to draw (app/digital or traditional)?

I use traditional media. I've been trying to learn to use Procreate, but I feel like I need another 20 years to find a brush combo I like and figure out all the tricks. I get a bit overwhelmed by all the options. :|

Fave brushes/pencils/mediums?

Nothing can beat graphite pencils in my book.

Your favourite piece you've drawn?

Right now I'm very fond of the portraits of Stede and Ed I drew on maps.

Who's harder to draw: Ed or Stede?

For me it's Stede. He's got a bit more going on face-wise: fine lines, wrinkles, THE NOSE. <3 I also find mouths tricky and I love that Ed's is conveniently obscured by the beard (hair is probably my favourite thing to draw).

One essential tip for beginner artists?

Always present your work with the confidence of a mediocre straight white cis man.

Why OFMD?

This show gave me a hug when I needed it the most.
