#feel free to reblog and like though! :)

I wish some aces would stop excluding other aces with complex sexual experiences. like I get why but you have to realize that being ace does not mean they don't enjoy sexual experiences and it's weird when you complain about allo people and boil it down to "people who have sexual experiences" and also shame people for their sex life and kinks as if your own community doesnt INCLUDE those people. because there are other aces out there who still masturbate, who feel sexually attracted to their own body, who barely experiences sexual attraction but still enjoys sex, who like consuming sexual media, who like sfw kink. being ace is so so much more complex than just "disliking sex". and also aromantic exclusionism in the same genre of posts is something i see a lot. especially aro allos. I hate hate hate seeing a community that SHOULD be inclusive boil down sexuality and exclude people.

#okay to reblog #if you reblog this post to argue or whatever though im killing you this is about my personal queer experiences not a discourse post #feel free to add your own experiences if youre aceflux demisexual whatever. i love you guys. #rambling #rant #messy writing sorry #but as an aroace myself i just felt like i had to get it out i guess #i always feel like im not ace enough but im not allo enough to be either #aroace #arospec #aromantic #asexual #acespec #ace #aceflux #aroflux #demiromantic #demisexual #lbgtqia #lbgtq #queer #text post #vent #queer community

in the past week or so ive seen a lot of people posting about how there's this oversexualization of trans girls on the site, and I gotta agree, there are way too many people (including other trans women!) who act like we're all dtf 24/7 or always super kinky and horny. I've been tired of that stereotype for ages and i am saying this as a rather sexual trans girl myself...

...but I think people are overcorrecting a bit now, and are starting to veer into "trans women shouldnt be talked about sexually / need to be shielded from it" territory. and, to me, that's really dangerous, because outside of some queer spaces - and even within them- the sexuality of trans girls is heavily scrutinized, as is attraction to us. as much as I dislike certain aspects of the memes and jokes that kickstarted the stereotypes, I'm kinda grateful for them as well. girldick jokes helped with my bottom dysphoria, voice kink shit helped me like my voice, and the whole "tgirl tummy tuesday" thing gave me a lot of confidence in my body where I hated it before. I think this open appreciation of trans sexiness has done a lot for both me and others on tumblr.

again, obviously its got its problems - people end up assuming every trans girl is horny, or only spread positivity if its related to sex with us, and of course the people who do have dysphoria from the things that are being sexualized are left out (like those the "girls without dicks are like angels without wings" memes, ugh, feels icky every time). and on the note of comparing tgirls to angels, we also started getting treated like we're ethereal fertility goddesses and that t4t sex was some inherently sacred ritual. spoiler alert, trans girls are normal-ass people and t4t sex can be holy for the participants but its generally a pretty normal thing to do as well

coming back to the "don't sexualize trans girls" posts now, I think they were initially going in the right direction, but at this point I'm starting to raise an eyebrow at more than a few of them. I'm not gonna whip out the "youre a sex hating puritan if you post about it" accusation because that is obviously wrong but again, I think people are definitely overcorrecting and starting to turn this into a (false) dichotomy when it's not. its a complex topic and each individual trans woman will feel differently about it.

(I feel like the internet just erases any nuance in favor of a two-sided, highly polarized flamewar with unrealistic views on both sides. actually i wouldn't even say this is a super-nuanced discussion because its really not that hard to say "fetishization is bad, but so is suppression of sexuality". will this post just end up being a void scream and people will continue drawing lines between one side and the other? probably. but I am a stubborn bitch and I have hope that we can be reasonable.)

anyways I'll close this off by saying that I wrote this between around 1:30 and 2 AM on terrible sleep the night before, that I hope what I said is coherent enough, and that I will keep being a trans girl who is openly sexual, gets horny over other trans women, and is proud to be transsexy as fuck. I will keep being critical of jokes and trends and memes that stereotype us, even from our own community. I will keep being angry at how poorly us trans folks are treated with regards to our sex lives, bodies, and relationships between the two. I will keep loving and lusting over trans women without fetishizing them. And I will keep doing all of these til the day I die.

#taking a break from the late night funnies to get serious for a change #this is... sorta a vent post? idk. #please dont tag this with 'transmisogyny' i do not like that term #feel free to reblog though. if enough people are shitheads ill turn reblogs off but again i have hope we can be nice. #transmasculine folks please feel free to add anything else you feel is relevant! im writing from the perspective of a transfemme #who mostly spends time in transfem spaces and i obviously dont have the experiences of a transmasc so. yknow. add on if you have something #alright thats all for now back to your regularly scheduled sleepy/funny posting

Everyone thinks that Qrow is the one likes to collect rocks, trinkets, and shiny things. Mostly because of how often he's seen doing it, and slightly because of the running joke that crows do the exact same thing.

But the fact of the matter is: Clover is the one with a four-leaf clover charm, a horshoe, and a rabbit's foot. That's not one, not two, but three different trinkets right there. Who's to say he doesn't have more good luck objects? Who's to say he doesn't have a pair of special, lucky dice? Maybe a shiny gold coin that he secretly carries around in his pocket? Maybe even a piece of decoration or jewlery (a ring, perhaps?) that's encrusted with a jade, a gemstone believed to bring good luck?

TLDR: Clover is the one who collects trinkets, not Qrow. Qrow is just the one to find them for him, because everytime he sees something like that, Clover is all he can think about, so he takes it to bring back to him.

#i didnt like the fic i wrote for this premise so i ended up scrapping/not posting it but i still wanted to share the idea #because i have ''i need to share my thoughts w everyone'' disease #im determined to write one though!! maybe after my midterms (: #fairgameweek2024 #fairgame #fair game #clover ebi #qrow branwen #rwby #fairgame week blog feel free to reblog this post for the trinket prompt!! sorry i couldnt make sth longer

[canisalbus]

just a quick ask to tell u it makes me super happy seeing the detail u go into when pointing out stuff u like about other people's art of ur ocs :3 it's so rare to see but it's so so motivating!! <3

Thank you! I don't take any interest for my art for granted, and if someone goes through the trouble of drawing my characters for me, I feel like trying to write a proper response is the least I can do. For a visually oriented person, receiving gift/fan art is a huge deal, it means someone considered my goobers worth their time and effort, they've probably been thinking about them more than a little and found them inspiring in a way or another, and I find that terribly flattering. It's extremely fun and interesting to see other people's takes on them. And I've drawn stuff for people as well, I know how nice and rewarding it feels to receive a response that is longer than a word or two. Positive comments like that can linger in people's minds for a long time, at least for me they do.

#this comes with a big serious disadvantage though #it often takes me a long time to write that response #my social batteries are extremely small and a lot of the time by the time I go online I feel too worn out to engage with people properly #I'm autistic anxious and severely depressed my spoons are in short supply at the best of times #I've always had really hard time putting my thoughts into words in a way that I find satisfactory #so I keep putting off reblogging gift art #because most of the time my brain is too smushed to formulate that meaningful comment I want to give #maybe that sounds dumb and fake #but this is something I've struggled with for years and I feel extremely guilty for keeping people waiting like that #often weeks sometimes months even #and potentially making them feel underappreciated and unnoticed #I'm also genuinely very scatterbrained and unorganized and I miss and forget things I'm supposed to do all the time #not to mention that I tend to have trouble keeping track of my mentions and dms and asks I'm only one person #so if you've ever drawn something for me and I didn't/haven't responded yet #please know it's not personal it's entirely my fault I'm kind of a mess #and chances are I'm still very much attempting to get back to you #feel free to remind me if you feel like I might have not noticed your post I really don't mind at all it often helps me a lot #and please if you can don't delete the post even if it seems like I didn't see it #because again sometimes it takes me a long time to respond #thank you to everyone who has stayed endlessly patient with me though I appreciate it #sorry this spiraled into a list of apologies and excuses this is actually something that bothers me a lot #because it's largely a mental health thing but easily comes off as ungratefulness #I'm trying to work on that #answered #anonymous

somtimes a boy's just gotta recognize the girl he used to be and acknowledge what she did for him and then move on to keep living his life knowing she's watching proud of what he's done

#i really feel like i am a boy who used to be a girl #and I don't really acknowledge that because it can be really triggering for my dysphoria #but that girl learned about being queer #she has childish crushes on girls and callrd herself a lesbian and learned about the existence of trans people #she did most of the work to get me where i am #and sometimes i feel like she was someone else entirely #and it's a little weird to feel like the boy i am now was never an innocent kid #but that was the girl. she let me become who i am and stepped aside #but i think she'd be proud of what I've done #how far I've come #so i just wanted to appreciate her for a minute #good job younger me. you got me here. i appreciate all the work you did <3 #transmasc #ftm #personal #oliver talks about himself again #transgender #please be kind I'm just thinking about my own personal experiences with gender #feel free to reblog though #queer #lgbtqia

Reblog this if you want, it would be cool to see a broader set of opinions

#stuff I have just been curious about lately. For Obvious Reasons #for me I think I like to jump in during the middle? then ik there's a consistent backlog #but i also get the joy of some real time updates and active discussions #sometimes i do wait until something has ended though so i can get a sense of if i'd like the story as a whole #BUT following from the beginning is cool too bcuz then you get to actively watch the story develop from the start (!!!) #AND you get to say 'i liked it before it was cool' lol. #BUT YAH ANYWAY. feel free to reblog

[solargeist]

i think saying "if you like but don't reblog i'm blocking you" is a bit extreme, bc at the end of the day thats still someone that liked your art. also, whats the time limit? sometimes i "like" things to queue later, since reblogging/tagging on mobile can be annoying

#i. dont keep track of people liking/reblogging my stuff and never have #i get both sides of the idea though. yeah people should support art/writers more bc its free content #but if you only create for validation you might burn out! #its weird wheni see people who get 300 notes be upset abt the ratio like you still got 300 notes brother #i usually dont interact with posts like that bci dont wanna put it on other people's dash . feels liek it'd trigger someones OCD tbh?

[dootznbootz]

I really think it's important to give credit where credit is due but for example, on tumblr you can always @ someone...but then I feel like I'm calling for attention!!! Or like I'm coming off as "Oh I mentioned you!!! You have to reblog this!!!" when that's not it!!!

Like I know that's the simplest way to give credit. And when just tagging someone, most of the time I know it's a simple "I'm thinking of you" or "I think you'd like this!" and that's definitely how I see it but I know that I'm a chaotic lil gremlin who likes collecting everything as "I absorb everything in sight". I know other people are more particular about what they toss up on their blogs.

I usually just put url names so then people KNOW who's the person with said idea first and then link the specific post so then the person doesn't need to feel like they have to like or reblog my thing as I'm just trying to give credit and the source.

#I doubt some people wanna see MY nonsense😂 I have that specific tagamemnon tag BECAUSE I know most people won't like #what I toss up #Feel free to tag me in EVERYTHING though :D I don't give a fuck. Y'all have seen my blog and kind of know me. #there are very few things I don't love or don't want to see or even a “Hey wanna get mad about this” I don't care. send it my way #but I know other people are more critical of what they want to slap up in their scrapbook and stuff and I sometimes feel like I'm guilting #someone into reblogging it unless I'm like 95% sure they'll get a kick outta it or at least want to see it. #also the fact that other people will tag others in posts and I know some people JUST want to OG post and not the one with all the tags #klsdfj I'm such a worrywart about shit lksjdf lkds AAAAAAAAH #Mad rambles

daxton girlies... how do we feel??

#nhie spoilers #daxton #devi x paxton #feel free to send asks or reblog bc this isn't my main so i can't reply in the comments #personally i can't say i'm surprised by how it all ended #and i feel that they tried too hard with the 'look at paxton and devi they're FRIENDS now they had CLOSURE' #in my mind they still end up together 10 years layer idc #but !! #even though we lost we kinda won too bc their relationship has always remained sweet and it evolved beautifully #i mean that locker room scene with the call back to how they first met??? the last hug?? #unlike b*nvi we saw their relationship develop from the very beginning and yeah like i said it was a beautiful ride #idk my thoughts are all over the place right now i might say more later

[triangulum-mori]

i feel like a lot of proship people dont realize that us 'antis' or whatever they call us dont like them not bc what theyre shipping is despicable, but bc their mindset around it is really fuckin gross

theres always a time within media where pairing an adult and a child together/siblings/etc is used to tell a darker story, explore themes, etc. that kind of shit doesnt reflect on the author AT ALL, look at lolita for an example. pedo protag, but not pedo/pedo-supporting author.

what IS really gross and makes it look like you support pedos, weirdoes, etc, is when you go 'omg these two characters are so good together 😍😍" and it's a 12 year old and a 36 year old. that DOES reflect on the author/whoever pairs them

ofc, this shit isnt going to kill anyone irl, but the internet is a place of infinite malleability, where you have a little button you can click at any moment to completely erase someone from your presence forever. as such, we can block proshippers and we have good reason to

if ur gonna be weird, dont get mad when people find u weird.

all this to say i got a really gross proshipping post on my dash, which prompted this

do me a favor and just block me if you make/support that kinda stuff. i dont want to see it.

No True Pair Writing Prompts

So, for anyone unfamiliar, No True Pair is a community over on Dreamwidth that features fanwork prompts. From their community profile:

no_true_pair is, loosely, a mad-libs-style challenge. You make a list of characters, a set of prompts is posted that uses all the characters in different combinations, and you create works using those characters. For example, if your list contained Darth Vader and Mickey Mouse as numbers 2 and 4, there could be a prompt like "2 & 4 go out for coffee" or "4 invites 2 out for dinner, except..." and you'd write Darth Vader and Mickey Mouse going out for coffee, or Mickey Mouse inviting Darth Vader out for dinner and then going from there.

Now, if this sounds interesting to you because you like writing prompts, awesome! I made a spreadsheet of all the prompts available so far (383 prompts available so far, excluding round 10, which was a "by popular demand" rerun of older prompts). The community is super awesome and has an AO3 collection, so if you're interested, you should absolutely give it a whirl! I'm going to explain how it works here.

The Spreadsheet

(The section header is linked to the sheet if you're looking for it)

The first page of the spreadsheet is the instruction sheet. It includes links to everything and explanations of how the community works. You can see the prompts by clicking the "tabs" down there across the bottom.

If you have a Google Account and you want to play, you should go to "File" and "Make a Copy" to save a copy of it to your own Google Drive so that you can edit the lists. (See below screenshot.)

If you do not have a Google Account, no worries! You can go to "File" and "Download" the sheet to save a local copy that you can use. (See below screenshot.)

Once you've done that, go to one of the tabs at the bottom to pick a round. I'm going to use Round 8 in this example.

The Round Sheets

The round sheets look like this. You have a section at the top for your character list, and then the prompts are in the bottom.

You make a list of characters.

And then the prompts will auto-populate with their names.

And you can pick whatever you like to go forth and write! Now, obviously, I'm an FF7 writer, but you can do any fandom for this community. Or OCs! They're very welcoming.

Once again, you can find the spreadsheet here if you're interested!

GO FORTH AND WRITE, EVERYONE!

Yes, she is a conspiracy theorist now. We don't keep in touch.
