Needlepoint embroidery (found works made from hobby kits, unpicked and reworked) by Matt Smith.

#the ethics of unpicking thrifted needlework is a rich vein. #in my previous post some folks disapproved. i don’t know where i stand. #i’m the sort of person who dislikes when women butcher an heirloom wedding dress. so i should dislike this too. but i don’t. #if he were a worse textile artist i might. & i prefer to think of smith’s work as collaborative anyway #the credit should read unknown & matt smith #needlepoint #needlework #embroidery #textile art #matt smith #matt j smith #surreal #surrealism #fave art

it sucks how everything has been tainted by patriarchy and as women we cannot do literally anything without it being linked back to patriarchy. like wearing makeup or pink or whatever has been determined feminine by the patriarchal definition feminity, so doing those things means you’re playing into the patriarchy. not doing those things means you’re also playing into patriarchy because it’s a rejection of the idea of femininity, and thus, reaffirms that identifying with feminity in any way is inherently inferior. likeeeee we really cannot win lol… i think a big part of reclamation includes allowing space for people who identify as women to find out what that means to them.

#it’s kind of frustrating to see everything women do criticized even in scholarly spaces #as a product of patriarchy and thus bad #but like #ideas of masculinity are also patriarchal in nature #and we never hear men getting criticized bc how they dress #or look #feeds into patriarchy #i think two things can be true at once like we can understand the nuances and ALSO choose how we want to or don’t want to #express ourselves #without being critiqued that we’re playing into patriarchy lol #this is why the whole pick me convo has gone off the rails like #women get called pick mes for anything #LITERALLY EVEN EATING LMAO #also like saying women dress xyz way as the result of men gets into very slippery territory… #BUT DO YALL GET WHAT I MEAN #idk idk idk lil ramble u know the drill will delete eventually

Sirius wearing a skirt when he’s staying at school for Christmas holidays and nobody cares because the wizarding world doesn’t have gendered clothing.

#It is canon information that clothing isn’t gendered in the wizarding world #And that most wizards wouldn’t care if a man wore a skirt or dress #The Weasley’s are the exception but they know a lot more about muggles and wear muggle clothing sometimes #Which is why they see dresses as being gendered #I saw an hc that Remus would talk back to a teacher telling Sirius off for “wearing girls clothes” and it made me upset because firstly Rem #Would not do that #I say this as a remus kinnie that man would never speak back to a teacher #And secondly as previously states gendered clothes don’t exist in the wizarding world at large #They wear robes and if Sirius decided to wear a skirt under his robes nobody would care #His parents wouldn’t care that he was wearing “women’s clothing” they’d care that they’re muggle!!!! #I’m sorry but that post made me angry #Post #sirius black #harry potter #marauders #marauders era

*screaming from the rooftops* I love trans people who don’t “pass” and don’t care about passing!!

I love trans guys who like showing off their tits. I love trans girls who don’t shave their body or facial hair. I love nonbinary people who don’t care about looking “androgynous”. I love trans girls with deep voices and trans guys with high voices. I love short trans guys and tall trans girls that walk around in high heels so they can be even taller. I love trans girls that don’t tuck. I love trans guys with long hair. I love trans guys who like dressing feminine and wearing makeup. I love trans girls who like dressing masculine and flexing their muscles. I love trans girls that don’t look like a ‘traditional woman’ and I love trans guys that don’t look like a ‘traditional man’. I love nonbinary people that don’t feel the need to change anything about their appearance. I love trans people who keep their birth names, even if they’re not gender-neutral. I love nonbinary people who don’t fit into the mold of ‘skinny, white AFAB who dresses semi-masc’.

I love trans people who don’t give a shit about conforming to the cisgender binary in order to be seen as “real”. I love trans people whose very existence is confusing to cis people. I love trans people that can’t be easily categorized and don’t want to be. I love trans people who make a statement just by walking down the street, and I love trans people that aren’t trying to make a statement because they’re just trying to fucking live as themselves!! I love trans people!!!

#transgender #lgbtq #queer #god!!!! I know we try so hard to combat the transphobic cis idea that trans women just look like ‘men in dresses’ #but fuck I love trans women that DO look like that too!!!! #who gives a shit if a trans woman has a full beard and hairy legs and a hairy chest and straight hips!!!!! I don’t give a fuck!!!!!! #she’s fucking beautiful!!!!! #who gives a shit if a trans guy doesn’t bind and dyes his hair and wears eyeshadow!!! he can live his fucking life!!! #I love ppl who go on hormones but don’t get any surgeries!! #I love people who don’t ‘transition’ at all!!!! #I love people who use ‘outdated’ terms or new terms made up entirely by them!! #I love people who don’t label themselves at all!!!! #I love trans people who don’t give a single fuck!!!!! #are you listening​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Random assortment of silly doodles of Simon being silly cause I think he should be allowed to be silly sometimes.

The text says (in order):

1. “God won’t let me die” on the back of some shorts lmaoooooo

2. CAUTION: Smokin’ Hot Dad and there is a grill in the middle of the shirt too. Especially hard to read cause he also has a cross necklace over it.

3. Knows exactly the abomination he is wearing and is just waiting for someone to notice it -> and the shirt itself says “Je-Sus” and as an AmongUs Jesus on it.

4. <- Looking up cool rocks (on Google)?

5. He says “eh?”

6. No text for this one but that is one of those gag shirts that has the NES controller on the chest in a specific spot, if you’ve seen them you know lol idk how else to explain them.

7. (Imagine the Simon’s Quest text box sound) HAVE SOME CHOCCY MILK CAUSE UR AWESOME! (Choccy as in chocolate, every time I read this one I think of chalk-y milk and then die a bit imagining the texture of that eeee)

8. No text, but haha dragon ball death pose

9. The one in the bottom corner says “evily scheming” in quotes cause whatever he’s thinking about is not evil at all lol

10. No text for this one, but I doodled this cause I kept missing the jump in this level, it was my first time playing it when I drew this so I was not very good yet. I love how the rings have little bats tho, like that’s such a cute detail. :3

#castlevania #castlevania games #simon belmont #art post #my art #simon’s quest #castlevania nes #super castlevania iv #I have also drawn Simon in a Korn shirt before but I don’t know where that drawing is oof #I need to redraw it anyway it’s been a few years lol #I feel like he’d like stupid stuff like this lmao #have the whole leather armor and everything over a shirt that says Elvis is dead Sinatra is dead and me I also feel not so good #he can be a little silly as a treat #he kinda deserves it tbh bro’s been through hell #silliness earned #also you cannot tell me he dresses like that in the 1600s and doesn’t have at least a little sense of humor come on like #bro has at least three designs with a corset and those would’ve been considered women’s underwear at the time #he also out here eating chicken out of a wall sometimes #idk I think I would laugh if I was getting killed by a frog tbh #I do imagine that getting him to put his guard down enough to be silly or smile at all would be pretty hard and uncommon tho #he’s probably stressed out and sleep deprived most of the time tbh #I’m aware he died in the ye olden times but sometimes is just fun to have every character meet each other in modern day for no reason :) #so sometimes I do that lol #I have to redraw a couple character interaction comics tho #some of them are paced really weird #feel free to add you’re own silly ideas in the comments or tags or something I wanna hear them #silly doodles

Ripping apart everyone whose response to “I want more and better women in shounen” is “just watch shoujo” biting and maiming and killing

#you don’t GET IT !!!!!!! #like shoujo is fine it’s good it exist #however. when I said. I want shounen with women #I mean I want female characters who ACT LIKE and have similar plot beats to SHOUNEN CHARACTERS #maybe YOU want to watch a girl in a big frilly dress shoot rainbows #or watch a slice of life lady fall in love #I want a girl to look desperately for her DEADBEAT MOM #and be possessed by an EVIL DEMON for her to ANGST OVER #and have an EDGELORD BEST FRIEND who is DOWN FOR MURDER #and for all the girls to have MAGICAL POWERS CENTRIC ON PUNCHING #I want the girls to all be EMOTIONALLY STUNTED #and have a DEAD DAD to ANGST OVER #the solution to ‘I want girl shounen’ is not ‘go watch shoujo’ #that’s the equivalent of me saying I want girl avengers and you saying ‘just go watch Gilmore girls it has girls in it !!!!!’ #these are not COMPARABLE THINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #kaz rambles

Being a fat woman is kinda like…well I guess everyone assumes fat=masculine anyway so even though I don’t feel like I’m masculine particularly I will just be that bc I’m not putting in the effort to be feminine god bless <3

#like if I were thin I’d probably dress so differently and have a different attitude about feminity just bc I feel like I CANT be feminine #like as myself as I am??? this is all only referring to me btw I don’t feel the way about how other fat women like dress this is a me #problem lmaooooo #personal

[melrosing]

like the new posters but. they’re at it again w those half-arsed waistlines

#I don’t hate all of this dress but for some reason the costume department never bother doing anything for the waist??? #always opting for like a ‘women’s t-shirt’ fit but for a dress. it’s giving potato sack.

sick of white wedding dresses. add some flavor and color im begging you

#western civilization has the absolute blandest archaic structures #white wedding dresses were literally to signify purity and virginity as a father would ‘‘gift’’ his daughter to another man to be his #property #oh sorry. i mean ‘wife’ #i mean even if you want a white dress add something to it yknow #maybe ditch the ballroom style and go with something low-cut or cute #maybe put some little butterflies in the lace #so jealous of other cultures’ wedding styles because they have such beautiful vibrant colors and ours is just. white. white everything #except for the groom who wears a black tux like a businessman or a mourner #like idrc when it’s 2 women getting married cuz do whatever you want you’ve earned it #but when women marry men? just add SOMETHING original #i don’t go to weddings anymore cuz they’re just so bland and tasteless and it feels very patriarchal

Thoughts on Barbie as someone transmasc btw. If you even care

Seeing some of the reception about Barbie as someone transmasc is a bit isolating and I wish more people who were transmasc were speaking on it. 100% understand the whole “womanhood experience” that a lot of people are saying about being represented in Barbie but I wish cis women understood that its not exclusive to them. Afab trans people relate to a lot of what is being discussed in the film because of how we were socialized and how unfortunately we get perceived as women. I don’t think it’s fair to label the film as strictly a womanhood experience because I’m not a woman. It’s frustrating because I relate to so much of the movie but then I feel isolated since a lot of people talking about it are saying how it’s about womanhood. And like I said I 100% get it because a lot of women experience what’s being discussed in that film of course. But I wish transmasc and afab nonbinary people were included more in the discussion of the film.

With how people keep saying what’s being described is a woman experience, it makes me want to denounce what I’ve been through because saying I relate makes people see me as a woman. And I don’t want to be seen as a woman. But I can’t denounce those experiences because it’s shit I’ve gone through.

And honestly that’s something I’ve struggled with in my gender journey. A lot of my experiences have been tied to being afab because of how men treat me so there’s been a part of me resistant to stop identifying in feminine terms because that trauma and treatment is apart of me. The trauma I speak on often resonates with women, so I feel like I have a connection to womanhood in that way (which makes me feel invalid about being trans but that’s a whole other can of shit)

I’ve gone through the idea of having to be perfect. Of being criticized no matter how I exist. Of mistreatment from men. Of sexualization and objectification from men. Of being underestimated. Of double standards. This is the reality for afab people. Not just women. And I guess I wish that was being said more.

Ultimately I’m glad so many women are finding joy and happiness in this movie. I really am. I just wish afab people who aren’t women were included more in the conversation in a way where we’re not seen as a women yet still have our experience represented

#lgbt #trans #transmasc #Barbie #idk just all the TikTok’s about how ppl love being a woman and how relatable it was as a woman and how everyone dressing up for the movie #is a woman #is just really making me feel isolated #idk I really love the movie:( it’s just the talk online about it is bumming me out #more trans people please speak up about Barbie I value your thoughts so much #I saw literally like one afab trans person on tiktok speak about it #everyone else is mostly cis women #I don’t wanna downplay how important this movie is for cis women #it’s great that they get this movie #I just want afab trans people to be included while also not being feeling invalidated you know

Maybe this is my “I’m from New York so I didn’t choose to live here I was just already here” kicking in but can we actually learn to respect people’s privacy and acknowledge the fact that not everyone who lives in a major city is doing so because they want to be famous or the main character or an influencer or whatnot. I’m so sick of seeing tiktoks go viral that are just plainly stalking or doxxing random people who didn’t ask for attention or fame and are just living their lives. Especially given how many people in NYC are living with a wide variety of mental states, abilities, divergencies, and diversities treating them as a spectacle for your entertainment is deeply dehumanizing. Particularly in the past few years seeing so many content creators move here and gain their fame here it is becoming increasingly frustrating to feel like just existing in my home is not coherent with the burgeoning voyeurism culture that’s growing online. I, nor anyone who lives in a large city, should have to leave their homes every day worrying about the potential of being recorded and ridiculed online for just being a person.

People should be able to live their lives with the right to privacy. This isn’t to say that certain instances of internet activism shouldn’t have happened; for instance the Central Park bird watching incident (google it if you aren’t familiar but a woman was being racist towards a black man bird watching in central Park and his recording on the incident vindicated him). But instances like those are the exception and not the rule and many cases of publishing interpersonal conflicts/interactions is not from good faith activism or even from an activist point at all. Honestly what sparked this for me was that dumb tiktok that blew up of that girl looking for the person who kept writing “monke” on the whiteboard at her gym and the series of videos she made amassed more than 25 million views as she made a very public game out of trying to find the identity of this person. Some of her tactics included staking out at the gym waiting for this person or even asking the employees at the front desk who the person was. Maybe this person didn’t want to be a viral tiktok sensation and just wanted to write something goofy on the whiteboard at their local gym. Instead, this person has millions of strangers online seeking them out using unethical/invasive methods. All over someone who just wanted to write “monke.” Can we not just be a little silly in public without being at risk of it being the next internet sensation? If you live in a busy metropolitan area is it now your responsibility to make yourself as invisible as you can every time you step outside your front door? I genuinely leave for work each day wondering if I’ve maybe picked the wrong outfit, makeup, or maybe there’s an embarrassing stain or issue with my appearance that someone is going to see, record, and share online. I’ve even now seen TikTok’s of people recording through peoples windows commenting on how they’re living in their private lives now as well (the video in question is of a young woman recording a couple dancing through their apartment window). Even the guy who goes around “turning average people into models” initiates these videos by first taking non-consented photos of strangers on the street. Invasion is not flattery as much as people on the internet might like to think it is.

It is deeply unfair to ask human beings to live their lives in an unending panopticon. We should be able to go outside, make a joke, leave a silly note, have a bad day, an embarrassing moment, an emotional outburst, leave the curtains open with the knowledge that these moments belong to ourselves and are not suddenly (and without our consent) just become something for the masses to consume. Small spats that should remain small spats become global debates, a conventionally attractive or unattractive person becomes the internet’s object of desire or disgust. Let people exist. Let them have their dignity.

#I FUCKING HATE TIKTOK CULTURE #This is also hitting a bit close to home for me but I work at a museum and I constantly dress to hide my identity #because of how many cameras are pointed at me all day everyday #and in the year of two thousand and twenty three it’s pretty hard to be a person #so to ask people to be media ready all the time is just impractical and inhumane #we aren’t all public figures but we are now expected to be ready for that level of attention #even certain internet phenomena that came from a good faith place such as recording Karen’s as a way to combat a certain kind of a racism #was co opted by non black people to publicly shame and embarrass any older white woman they don’t like #now the entire concept of a Karen has lost its original meaning while still existing as an open threat to older women who don’t behave #as expected in public #and yes I have seen white teenage boys yelling at women calling them Karen’s for just asking them to stop being rowdy #which is anecdotal evidence so take with a grain of salt #but I am simply EXHAUSTED #apparently I need to live in the mountains if I want to live in peace #also I wrote this in like a 5 minute rage so feel free to DM me or comment if I got something wrong
