I can't remember if I've posted abt this before but regardless: I'm sorry but I really and truly cannot get behind the idea that there is any wide-scale societal "pressure for trans men to be feminine" or "to be twinks" or whatever. You are either conflating a very small online community's beauty standard (usually some kind of transmasc pseudo-appropriation of "femboy" aesthetics, which yes, are often Bad and regressive and fetishized and etc.) with Mainstream Society, or confusing society not wanting trans men to transition with "wanting trans men to be feminine", which are certainly not the same thing. Ultimately if a cis person believes there is any validity to the concept of being trans (i.e. not a Posie Parker-esque "there's no such thing as a trans person" type), they are more likely to think that trans men should be like as masc and buff and hairy as possible or whatever bc that's what cis people think men look like and it's easier for a lot of people to recognize someone who Looks Masc as a man. It is difficult sometimes to see derision of trans guys who are Too Feminine and Not Hairy Enough or whatever (which is not always something someone has control over btw) as anything but "this is Skye who I think is a confused little girl because Skye does not pass" slightly restyled for 2023 "filthcore fagdykes" or whatever lol

#and btw 'twink' is not synonymous with 'skinny' that's not all it means i am so so so tired of seeing it used that way #i am also tired of like Positivity Posts for 'bears' needing to be based on derision of 'twinks'. get over that! #open mick night #lgbt #gender #god this is like that post where op is like It's sooooo hard being a trans girl who wants a vagina bc that's not the mainstream :pensive: #is it not? mainstream society decided women can have dicks? since when? #let men be masculine or whatever #sorry i know i've been talking abt this a lot lately but yknow it Is difficult. given the way i look and all that #like people keep saying that elliot page tweet was Actually About Body Type but like. is it? or is it about I Don't Think Elliot Page Passe #also tbh people say the same shit abt cis men. 'people are okay with Fem Queers(tm) but not Masc Queers(tm)' wow are they? since when? #and are the people telling men they're not allowed to be masculine in the room with us right now

it’s boggling my mind that instead of putting this drama on a streaming platform or distributing it somewhere they put on app that is powered by nfts and that has a mlm/pyramid scheme type system in it like this company never seizes to amaze me in the worst ways

#i am begging you to start thinking about what you buy #they know that if they put bts’ name anywhere that people will put their money on it #i saw someone in the quotes of this tweet saying #that it seems that they are testing the limits #and doing the most insane things to see if people will buy it #and the thing is they always win BC PEOPLE ARE DUMB #it’s the same thing with concert tickets and the insane prices every year #nobody complains and they keep doing it #sometimes yes even complaining doesn’t work that much #but there’s no outrage from hybe fandoms about this #it’s so crazy to me how hybe is actively ruining the bts universe #by doing things like this #the story used to be so interesting and the fandom was so invested in it #but the hybe capitalism ruined everything #i just wanted to post this bc it seems relevant #it’s to show that yes indeed hybe sucks and will do anything for money #bts #hybe #hybe boycott

in the wake of everything else it's. also a real damn shame how the community has torn itself apart over all the limbus controversy and other people's opinions. harassment has been at an all time high and it's making people incredibly volatile, and if not that, incredibly depressed. the community before limbus was much quieter and kinder to itself and others, and now people are killing each other over a gacha and the idea that you can't have nuance. someone saying that they want people to stop fighting isn't automatically a project moon dicksucker, and people who are still disappointed in the company and want to cut their ties aren't automatically all haters that want to see the company and everyone a part of it, regardless of what they've done, go under and be destroyed.

it's just. god i'm tired of it all. isn't anyone else tired of the constant warring between people?

#limbus company #project moon #im really tired i hope this gets my thoughts across. #the fandom has rapidly devolved into all other fandom gunk because of a fucking gacha #like. this situations become way bigger than us for a while now #theres legalese thrown into the mix and things we just cant know about #harassing other people for wanting a break from it all is totally gonna fix things guys keep doing it!!!! #fucks sake #im just tired of seeing my friends getting pushed into suicidal ideation because some twitter user found their tweets about missing limbus #and made several wild ass judgements on their character and decided they should be shamed for it #AND seeing people who wanted to let go of it come under fire for #following a so called trend #what has gotten into this community now...its so heartbreaking

Love everything about this tbh

#the initial meme is 10/10 #the friendship between Danhausen + camera boy nick + davis is also 10/10 #also I'm 90% sure davis is objecting to defend his beloved pepsi #i just think as a trio of buddies they have excellent vibes #(also holy shit does brody look huge in this like i know logically he is a big dude but he really is a mountain of a man) #Danhausen #(yes i keep posting tweets but it's cause people who aren't on twitter don't always get to see them if people don't post em on here)

i really love how twitter will take a singular issue and turn it into Abstract Concept to Discuss. this tweet about alien stage blew up and the original thing they were mad about was a very blatant example of fandom prioritizing men over women. but it’s led to people arguing about whether it’s okay to write more yaoi than yuri without having the context of Alien Stage Specifically. and it’s shifted the discussion (if you can call it that) in such a new direction i just find it odd

#like i saw this really cool thread discussing gender concepts in fiction. but i had to laugh bc that was so not what the og issue was about #this alwayyyyssss happens on twitter #like someone will post a tiktok of a pregnant street cat and someone will quote retweet like #‘this cat should not be pregnant. here is my 20 tweet thread on why street cats should be better managed’ #and from there people keep quoting some other guy then some other guy 2 the point where we don’t have the og tiktok as context #it’s just Discourse about Animal Rights that has emerged from the ether #and despite not knowing the source everybody just has to weigh in #that’s kinda the issue with the quote function. like w/ reblogs you can always see the original post #vs if you quote it over and over on twitter it’ll get buried

[deklo]

went on twitter for one second and immediately saw the worst aftg related tweets of all time. WHEN! WILL! I! LEARN!!!!!!!!

#people are such buzzkills on there it’s CRAZY #i know they exist on here too obviously but i don’t see it #and maybe it’s me. maybe i’m the freak to other people on here #but to a certain point it’s like are they even having fun over there??? #i don’t think they are #so what’s the point #also not to keep uhhh vague posting #but one of them has a pfp of art made by someone in fandom who did not agree with their tweets #and told/asked them to change their pfp if they were gonna be talking like they were #and they just straight up said ‘no ♡’ #they’re so disrespectful lol it’s so annoying. #i want to block them all #(and i will)

Actually concerning lately how many hostile comments I have seen about queer women in kpop circles on here and twitter that are kind of framed through the guise of statements you can't really argue with like 'idols are real people' and 'idols deserve privacy' but with a tone that just shows how much people hate queer women more than they care about idols being real people and their privacy. Like I will see people say things about female idols like 'Women attractor!!' And then when a queer woman actually says something about being attracted to them they'll log on like woah now idols are real people you shouldn't sexualize what if she sees that and gets uncomfortable by the possibility of a woman being attracted to her :( Or female idols will be on stage kissing each other on the mouth and if a queer woman says anything along the lines of how they're just like us people will be like woah now!! Don't speculate :( Idols are real people too :( And with the Karina dating rumor especially I don't even know anything about Karina but my Twitter feed this morning was full of recommended tweets with concerning amounts of likes (one had upwards of 100k) that were basically phrased like 'You disgusting women likers are delusional for thinking she ever would have dated you!! What predatory freaks some people like men and are just straight and you freaks are going to have to accept that'

#and some tweet too that i don't even know what sparked was someone tweeting that yunjin was straight and to get over it #and there were hundreds of replies like yeah most girls like dick get over it lesbo freaks #like i don't see how i haven't seen more people disturbed by the phrasing of these posts #i even saw girls like it's okay to joke about female idols being women attractors etc but at the end of the day it's a joke and all idols... #...are straight and queer women that identify with them or even are attracted to them are freaks #when i see so many posts every day i want to vomit of guy idols doing really routine shit like eating dinner or watching tv #with girls going on and on about how boyfriend coded that is that they're eating dinner #that's not annoying or delusional (and the amount they use delusional is concerning too i am just using it here to quote how they talk) #but you want to put your fist through a wall every time a woman says something like that about another woman #that says more about you hating queer women than it does caring about idols' privacy actually when it's only ever women talking about... #...women idols that i see people mad at and ~ uncomfortable~ with #and i just keep seeing it more and more lately. what makes me the maddest too is that people will post about liking women like it's a... #...safe space to do so but when it really comes down to it it's posts that are all i thought we were all joking about liking women #i saw so many girls that were livid saying some girls are straight that it was bonkers #it must be so hard to be someone logging on the internet every day going what about people that do conform :( what about us normal people :(

I need Americans that were never Christian™️ to realize that the average conservative cult christian's thoughts are basically that one episode of Spongebob where he gets elected Hall Monitor and gives a speech with "Crime and Punishment. Punishment and Crime"

#christians see themselves as the hall monitors of the earth essentially #and everyone needs to be punished and have their good noodle stars taken else they'll commit arson #they genuinely believe that as soon as you stop policing people they'll delve into their deepest darkest fantasies and start committing sins #that even Jesus Christ himself didn't think of #they come from the idea that they are the only group capable of keeping things steady until Sky Papa can make his way down and fuck shit up #So when you do something bad it's because you fell into the pull of destruction #But when they do it's the equivalent of stepping on your dog's foot because they almost tripped you #I still think it's funny a bunch of christians are creationist tho lmao skill issue #My grandparents are but my dad isn't #he believes evolution essentially occurred over the same time the earth was being created #and the story of adam being made from dust was a metaphor and literal #he was made from dust made from decomposing animals and plants which he used to create us as a more perfect being #so now we continue to evolve because we're connected to the dust and can continue to try to improve #so my dad believes in evolution and went to college for biology and chemistry at the biggest HBCU in the US #That evolution/creationist tangent was completely unrelated but all twitter is for me rn is ppl freaking out about our rights being taken #I avoid twitter most of the time but like to look at my friends' and fav artists' tweets #and recently I think little joel made a video about the evolution video that was trending so yea #n e ways have a nice day y'all <3 #I've been wanting to make more hehe hahas but everything in my brain rn is Undergraduate Thesis level shit #so I haven't really been reading or writing things I can talk about on Tumblr.Com ya know? #most of it is sociological textbooks memoirs and similar stuff that Id feel talking about on my casual blog #maybe Ill make a blog. like Blog blog for my essays one day #ex christian #religious trauma

Okay so it turns out the brilliant Tangelene Bolton (creator of Warrior Nun’s stunning soundtrack, including Beatrice and Ava’s beautiful theme) has read Avatrice fanfiction.

Every time I think I can’t love this cast and crew more- 💖

#oh and the lovely person who tweeted this is one of the core people we have to thank for the OCS newsletter btw #seriously this cast and crew is just. . . ✨ #they blow my mind #*insert that one KTY mind blown pic* #so dedicated so passionate and so kind! to keep interacting and fighting with us #going far beyond ‘just a job’ #it’s also their pleasure and it shows #people like William don’t stand to benefit from the show being renewed necessarily #and people like Trisán and KTY don’t get paid for doing the little interviews online or in Twitter spaces and things #they’re literally just doing it matters to them and they believe in it and mostly they see how much it means to us #and I think that’s just so cool #anyway I’m exhausted from work so I’m rambling #Warrior Nun #Avatrice #Tangelene Bolton #Avatrice Fanfiction #music score #composer #Spotify

i feel like gen z need to be sat down and explicitly told it is ABSOLUTELY OK to say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing sometimes. growing up actually means fucking up, and if you spend your whole life paranoid of being ‘problematic’ then you are legitimately going to drive yourself into an anxiety induced meltdown. watching or reading ‘problematic’ media does not make you a bad person, and tbfh sometimes watching or reading said media (provided you keep your analytical brain switched on) is a good thing to do. because just as we learn by seeing what’s right to do, we also learn by seeing what’s not right to do. 

and without wishing to sound horrendously horrendously ‘i am in my mid twenties’, you don’t need to let the entire world know what you’re watching and reading. you actually don’t need to let the entire world know a damn thing about you, and i feel like a lot of the anxiety i see from gen-z online is this terror of being called problematic precisely because the boundaries for oversharing are next to non-existent. growing and changing and learning are a fundamental part of being a teenager, and you will say and do ‘problematic’ shit which will make you cringe in your twenties, and that’s absolutely ok because you will have learned from it. 

#and on a serious note too for the love of god stop digging up peoples tweets from a decade ago. that adds to this toxic cycle #i was an absolute moron in my teens idk how many times i have to say it #i grew up in a conservative area and went to christian camps do i need to Spell Out the sort of nonsense i believed as a teen #and would u look at me now. age 26 and queer and very open about the nonsense i used to say #and nobody judges me even slightly for it. because the consensus is just 'you were a teenager. you learned. you don't believe that anymore' #HOW SHOCKING THAT THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING #anyway that's admittedly my somewhat extreme experience lmao #but seeing younger teens rip themselves apart online for OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I WATCHED THIS PROBLEMATIC TV SHOW #like my dudes when we were teens we used to look up clips from Saw on youtube FOR FUN #it's ok to make mistakes it's ok to be an idiot #what you've gotta be aware of is to stop documenting every single thing you have ever done online #because i swear it adds to the anxiety of 'what if someone calls me out on this' #just live and let live and don't actively be a prat and you'll be all good #ANYWAY #saw several posts about this this morning hence The Rant #sarah rambles #gen z #i guess??? #important

Tumblr STOP I do not want to see that askdjhadkj- #I don't really need to know when my mutuals are doing that come on now :// #also the blacklisting feature?? why do u need to give me the option to see posts just just let me mute things for good <//3 #in some strange way I think twitter functions work better than Tumblr lol #at least my notifications are real there and half my followers aren't bots </3 blocks actually fucking work #so much easier to tell what people believe in/stand for too akjdhjd- #someone liked a tweet of mine and right in their bio they had like all the twt factions they're in and Saw Some Alarming ones and nope righ #to the blocklist- I don't have that type of security on Tumblr ppl actually keep parts of their lives private here wtf /lh /hj #the issue with twitter though is that im afraid to be annoying there cuz I mostly just post art and interact with like the 5 mutuals Im - #not afraid of #also tags on Tumblr my beloved <33 #also no one on twitter knows im a Furry Artist Primarily and atp im too scared to let it be known </3 #im just a silly wolf girl who accidentally grew a following release me from this hell /lh #Maybaps it’s time for me to take a Tumblrer break now that the season is bungover

lmao wait i was going through the nicholas galitzine tag (as one does, but specifically bc of the m&g premiere today) and i see a screenshot of a tweet from my cousin saying he's going to be interviewing nicholas next month????

#i'm losing my entire mind #i'm close with my cousin but i don't really keep up with him on socials #so seeing a screenshot of his tweet on tumblr of all places really threw me for a loop #(like why is his name showing up on the dumpster fire website?) #of course i immediately texted him to be like #excuse me what's this about a convo with NICHOLAS GALITZINE????? #and anyway yep that's happening!!!!! #i know it's his job but!!!! #what the f*ck!!!! #brb i need to draw out a venn diagram of this unexpected but lovely overlap of very meaningful things/people i care about #nicholas galitzine

damn y’all would just rather die than interact with content creators directly huh? discussing works with the actual people that made them would just kill some of y’all dead wouldn’t it?

#so you’ll make… tweets instead of commenting #you’ll make whole ass tumblr posts without @ing me? even though you follow me? #instead of… commenting on the fic… you would rather go to your own blog… and make a post about having read it that I’ll probably never see #as the writer. #bc ur just. consuming my content. and then not giving a shit that I’m the one who made it #like don’t get me wrong I don’t want to sound ungrateful for the interaction I DO get because like I literally fucking love y’all #but this new trend that’s started where people read my stuff and go talk about it publicly without commenting?? #or interacting directly with me?? isn’t ok #like if you’re going to post a link to my fic somewhere else you better have fucking commented on it. #otherwise you’re just a dick #I’m kind of immensely bothered by this #like if you want me to make content for you??? tell me you like the content?? #yeah just really hurtful :/ #and makes it really hard for me to continue posting stuff in this fandom #it makes me want to keep work to myself fr #ok just had to get that out. night

An important thing to remember as an artist that started out drawing characters crudely and then started learning the fundamentals, at first your art will not look nice.

At first, drawing faces and bodies in different positions will make your characters look weird, then poor perspective will make your characters look weird, and finally when all the kinda things I mentioned above will be dealt with, just the hype of finally knowing how to draw anatomy will bite you in the ass because you can do all these things, you can draw them correctly or close to that, but whether that's figure drawing knowledge gaps, or awkwards poses/composition, or just not a very harmonious combination of realism and stylization in facial features or in general, but your before and after pictures might get this look of "clear objective technical improvement but many would consider it a downgrade"

That's a very common thing. I used to be in this before/after art community, and it was so toxic it was a meme within the community that no matter how much you've improved there will be people that will say that the before is better. There's a seed of truth to these words though, what they fundamentally get wrong is this implication that you "ruined your art"

That's a big example of why you shouldn't listen to non-art people for art advice. Keep going. You're closer to your art dreams than you ever were, you just need to look into all these things like the remaining knowledge gaps or personality to your art you might've lost as you were on your anatomy grind.

Keep creating, keep looking at art that inspires you and try to think of how to make yourself like your art better. Don't get stuck on it, if it begins being unfun, please do take a breather. Also, none of that is objective, people will still prefer things different to what you find beautiful. It's alright, create what you like, that's what this post is about. If you don't wanna, don't focus on aesthetics, just the process of creating art is fun and will eventually get you in the right place, that's what I do, I just occasionally throw in things I like and sometimes they work. Take care.

These are my current thoughts on the topic. I wouldn't take them too close to heart, this is just a blogging site and I'm blogin 👍

#Art #Art tips #Art community #Art advice #Technicality wise I have a very very long way to go #But as someone who finally started seeing and incorporating what I genuinely Like in my art it's a bit like opening my art #folder or sketchbook and kind of getting a feeling like I'm on a page of an artist I like and would actually follow #(Not bc of how I currently handle posting my art and how I choose pieces to post but I'm talking about my art archives so regardless) #An insane feeling #Also!!!!! #I chose not to include it in the post because it stood out against the main point of the post #but what the so-called Tumblr art style is all about is kind of related to this #Most of the people you'll see if you google Tumblr artstyle would have 'passable' or even 'decent' art #if they sticked to drawing thin anime girls with Eurocentric features #Current art idea floating around or almost like an unspoken rule: #If you wanna draw fat people/non Eurocentric features/disabilities or any minorities you gotta be a level above the people drawing today's #conventional beauty standards to be considered an equal to them among *gestures vaguely* #I hate that but that's something you have to keep in mind as you deal with art criticism #And as opposed to that #By harmonious in this post I mean very vague ideas and the many many ways you can stylize a real person #These are two ideas you can't detach from each other entirely but I do believe that we can discuss them separately #Just because a good drawing of an ethnic minority is going to be judged harsher than an opposite of that doesn't make it the worse drawing #Again that's why you gotta dismiss opinions of people who don't draw well and by that I'm obv talking artists better than me #Just getting that out of the way #//rambles #My thoughts on this whole topic inspired by this tweet that called the Tumblr art style too ambitious for the artists' skills and that #if anything that's something that should be praised in people #I thought that's a very interesting topic in a wider sense #I strayed away from it but as you might've noticed I wrote a post on the topic in the tags anyways #Sigh

Guys did Nora confirm that the book is called the sunshine court or are you all assuming that’s what TSC stands for

#this isn’t like the time cassandra Clare had everyone guess what TLH meant for years and a lot of people assumed it was the lost Herondales #before it was actually confirmed as the Last hours… like I need ya’ll to keep this in mind #s speaks #again I deactivated Twitter before this I can see her recent display tweets though and nothing confirming said title is there #Aftg
