tumblrs being transphobic, with the ceo himself starting an actual harassment campaign against a transfem & also banning transfems who post abt it.

Oh shit, I had not heard about that.

I would like to say I don’t understand why this shit keeps happening, but I actually do understand it way too well. It just makes me so sad and angry. Especially on a site where people find and make their communities.

So much of this is about ego, and the people with power wielding that power to protect themselves and failing to protect others with it. A mere hint of negative sentiment towards them is harassment that is dealt with immediately and harshly, but a dozen complaints about discrimination or threats or bullying take ages to process and frequently come to unsatisfactory moderation decisions.

Whatever the sentiments of the people running this hellsite, you are always welcome in my corner of the internet, wherever you find it. You are all wonderful, and we all deserve to feel that part of this space belongs to us and those to whom we can connect.

Transphobia has no place on tumblr, period. Or anywhere else in society for that matter. It is that which should be being rooted out.

#this is not related to herpetology #except that it is #because trans rights as well as those of every other member of LGBTQ+ affect every field #every fandom #every one #this is the first time ever I have written out a long tag rant and decided it needed to go into the main body of the post instead #meaning I had to type the whole thing again because you cannot easily copy and paste large numbers of tags #But I think it is important to see the full message from the start #rather than relying on someone else to screencap it #which I always appreciate #but not everyone always sees #anyway I am sorry especially to those in the community who are trans and who feel this most acutely #I stand with you #and I think the bulk of the community here does too #and that voice is something the leaders need to listen to #virtue signalling is not enough #actions speak louder than words #okay real tags now for searchability purposes: #about me #tumblr #trans issues #transphobia #transgender

Bonus under cut vvv

Later that same day:

And... I made an Emily redesign too...... *sniff sob /j* it's not final (like all my redesigns) I'm just trying get better at this design stuff and where better to do it except my current fixation ehhh?????

Long Emily design explanation/rant thing ignore it probably but pls dotn im desperate: I wanted to make her more round and soft cuzzz I love those typa designs I'm just a sucker for circle characters. Made her actually black and not fuckin gray cuz its a transformation to look more human and gentle(for me they go between two forms, their true ones that we see the first time we see them snd their human/softer ones if they ever interact with actual humans which... they usually dont.) Not a demon form tfff. In this version I wanted to put Emily in animal inspired features like... the sheep nose, ears, and hooves. Because she and Sera know that humans and about all beings love animals. Birds have sharp features mostly so they don't look as welcoming as they want to seem. I wanted Emily to look sheep likes and pretty much all the seraphim look more sheep like to make Lucifer stand out as the only one who was symbolized as a snake/goat(still don't know if I'll make him goat or make Lillith goat. I'll decide when I get there lmao). Justtt overalll wanted Emily to look more round, welcoming, and cute. I kept the freckles lighter than her skin color(even tho that's SUPER not accurate to what actually black people look like with freckles but whatevr) because it reminded me of fawns and.... sure Emily is a sheep but I still wanted to incorporate other cute animal traits with her cyz y not.

original thief series basso & garrett :)

ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels

there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.

anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.

#if i had a laptop and the skillset i would attempt a story mod because the thief modders who create whole mission stories #are GENIUS and also somewhat terrifying. love them! xoxox #anyway im actually kind of obsessed with parts of thi4f but its also like. not at that sweet spot of almost good enough to be fun #to talk about. which. for the record. has not stopped me from talking about it at length to people #the city itself actually fucking fascinates me. its almost alive and im SO mad that not a single part of that game is actually terrifying #it should be gnarlier and instead it feels a bit like it doesn't quite want to be trapped in the story it has to tell? #but between the level that has the bodies on the meathooks #and the scene with the bodies hanging from the rafters or whatever that was and garrett living in a clock tower #because the game is very much ALMOST about changing times and authoritarian violence and capitalism #(like. by virtue of how the story sort of spins out i think it misses it's mark on a lot of stuff here #in the sense that i dont feel like it actually wants to tell that story. it wants to. go in a different direction. or at least walk on top #of those themes instead of through it) #ANYWAY between all of those things. it does kind of live in my head rent free. they did create a compelling setting #SHAME THEY DIDNT WANT TO ACTUALLY EAT ANY OF IT #unrelated but i would've given thi4f a 10/10 if they kept garrett's fucking nail polish from the concept art. cowards. unforgivable #thief the dark project #i still have no idea how to tag the game series as a whole RIP #sorry for the dedicated dark project fans. if you know what the general series tag is. please let me know #garrett thief #basso thief

[turtleblogatlast]

Do you ever think of how the turtles were so used to their low stakes Saturday Morning Cartoon villain fights that when the Big Bads like the Krang and Shredder came about they got hit with a whiplash of “wtf this isn’t our genre???”

Buncha amateur vigilantes for the most part then one weekend they all hit up the Foot Clan for a fun time with Generational Trauma in Physical Form™️ with a dash of The Looming Threat of the End of the World™️

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt #I tagged rise bc that’s what I was thinking of but tbh??? all tmnt applies #poor kids tbh #imagine goofing off most of the time only to be told lol stop time to be a self sacrificing hero whether you want to or not #“don’t worry guys we just gotta wait out the run time and our next villain will just be trying to take over New York instead of the world’’ #it is a morbid fate that by virtue of existing as they are their one path seems to always be heroism at the cost of themselves #and then they move on to go grab a slice of pizza all chill and stuff

WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY. WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY! WHAT WAS HE-

Sun Wukong: "Kid—new armor isn't going to cut it! We have to hit Azure with everything we've got! You can't just, ignore this whole part of your power because it scares you!"

MK: "I-"

LITERALLY WHAT. WHAT WAS IT. MK HONEY SWEETIE DARLING WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO TELL WUKONG HERE

#look at MK's FACE #HE IS SO DISTRAUGHT #Scenes I lay awake thinking about #Like we all know Wukong encouraging MK to use his monkey form is going to bite them in the ass #But HOW #Like SWK knows whatever the fuck MK is but MK knows something about his Monkey Form that we (including SWK) don't #''Well alright then.'' terrible. terrible. ''Oh—there's nothing mindless about me friend!'' TERRIBLE. #Hm guess I'm just having another breakdown about the special. #the light is no mystery #<- new Wukong an MK tag I wanna be emo #anyways #imp tag #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk MK #Hello I am re-remembering Wukong's absolute faith in MK and how this is both a virtue and a vice #(aka oops if MK loses control SWK will be completely blindsided by it) #I am also remembering how MK's undying loyalty to SWK is also both a virtue and a vice! #(Aka if MK learns SWK did anything he can't justify that will shatter him) #These two would basically do anything for each other—but in like the fucked up way! So: haha we are in danger

[muzzleroars]

Imagine a slightly scared Virtue trying to pspspspsps V1 with a hand(wing?) full of blood like it was a stray cat.

(see this!)

the fear of being bitten somehow doesn't dissipate when you're a divine being AND the guy you're giving a treat to doesn't even have a mouth

#funnily enough we're feeding a little stray kitty at my house rn :] #it's very cute!!! hoping to get it into a vet #tbh we'd adopt it if gabe (my cat lol) wasn't so fussy haha #(tbf it may already have a home since it looks very healthy) #(and don't worry we take all the right precautions...unlike this poor virtue lol) #cake answers #doodle tag #v1 #virtue #ask queue: 23 #rise and fall au

Let me explain myself I swear I'm. I'm not sick. I'm fine. Uh.

Okay. So like. I don't. Usually. Draw. Angel Skizz and Demon Impulse. Cause. I just. don't really vibe with. Okay I vibe with Demonpulse but not Angel Skizz. HOWEVER. I remembered the silly little edit of Skizz with demon horns from SBE 2.0 E5.

And I was like "what if I made an AU where Skizz was an Angel, but was uh. Not. That happy with it, and asks Impulse to 'corrupt' him, and thus we get demon Skizz"

And here's that. Uh. Yea. I think more people should violently mess up their angel Skizzes. Mess that man up.

(reblogs with tags/comments are appreciated. Thankyu)

don't think sport will ever give me a bigger rush of euphoria than watching the men's free program at the 2018 winter olympics and seeing the look on yuzuru hanyu's face as he entered the step sequence of his program and realized he just won his second consecutive olympic gold medal. nothing will ever compete with that.

#seimei stseq my most beloved #the only thing that comes close is virtue and moir realizing they won THEIR second ogm on the ice after their free dance in 2018 #that was beautiful too #and also watching the raptors win the nba. but it's a distant third #figure skating tag #yuzuru hanyu

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️ #i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭 #i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!! #also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀 #and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo
