The quality of the original image is bad, and my editing didn't do much to help, but for some reason I feel like 90% of all Tumblr fan artists need this image as a reference.

Soma Takao and Kota Ibushi DDT Pro Wrestling | August 24th, 2014

#kota ibushi #soma takao #ddtpro #image reference #shoot *i'm* probably gonna use it as an art reference and i don't even make art typically #if you ARE from outside wrestling tumblr you will be glad to learn that just about every photo of ibushi could be used as an art reference #his waist has only gotten more snatched and his butt more spherical and his back and arms more ripped. he has the human body

sure, "I'm part of this marginalized group that I'm writing about" isn't a get out of jail free card for all bigotry, but if someone says "I'm portraying an exact experience I've had, this literally happened to me" and your response is "okayyy but think of the optics of showing that that happens? maybe keep that to yourself?" it might be time to reconsider your approach.

#thinking about a time I saw someone tell an artist of color that they clearly didn't look at enough reference images of their own ethnicity #what. they said that this character's look is semi based on their own appearance. What. #marina marvels at life

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

#this shifts gender so much bc it actually affects everyone #yes it's a gendered phenomenon. i have written a LOT about how different genders experience it. that's for a different post. #writeblr #ps my comments about seeing someone cry -- this is not to shame any person #and on this blog we support workers. #at the same time it's a really hard experience to see someone that looks like you. clearly in agony. and have them forced to keep going. #when you're young it doesn't necessarily look like acting. it looks scary. and that's what this is about - the fact that teens #have likely already been exposed to that definition of things. because the internet exists #and without the context of healthy education. THAT is the image burned into their minds about what it looks like. #it's also just one of those personal nuanced biases - #at 19 i thought it was normal to be in pain. to cry. to not-like-it. that it should be perfunctory. #it was what i had seen. #and it didn't help that my religious upbringing was like . 'yeah that's what you get for premarital. but also for the reference #we do think you should never actually enjoy it lol' #so like the point im making is that ppl get exposed to that stuff without the context of something more tender #and assume .... 'oh. so it's fine i am not enjoying myself'. and i know they do because I DID. #he was my first boyfriend. how was i supposed to know any different #i didn't even have the mental wherewithal to realize im a lesbian . like THAT used to suffering.

Introducing: The Diamants of the Grasslands Kingdom

The first post about the families of the main characters in the story! By popular vote, the Diamants were first.

The Emeraudes of the Woodlands Kingdom are next (Alceste's family).

Note Before We Begin: Because MC and their family are customizable, the appearances of the characters in the included pictures are just examples/placeholders and are NOT CANON.

As always, AI disclaimer for generated images.

That being said, their facial structures (i.e angular vs softer) are fairly accurate. Without further ado...

Here are the three "canon" Diamants present in the story, the MC/Royal gets their own section. Left to right, we have Elcina Flavia Diamant, Florian Diamant, and Adalia Elcina Diamant.

Queen Elcina Flavia Diamant (she/her)

Queen Elcina Flavia Diamant is the late queen of the Grasslands Kingdom. She inherited the throne from her father, King Flavius Aurelius Diamant. She is the eldest of 6 children, 3 of those being illegitimate half-siblings. She is regularly described as "serious", "sharp", and "harsh". That being said, Elcina is the current reason why the Grasslands Kingdom is a prosperous bustling center of trade and is regarded as a relatively good queen by citizens, despite her prickly personality. She is the mother of Queen Adalia Elcina Diamant and the Accused Royal/Main Character and was married to King Florian Diamant, the former General of the Grasslands Kingdom's military. The Accused Royal/Main Character has inherited her sharp features. Elcina died at 56 years old from unknown causes. She has been dead for a month when the story starts.

King Florian Diamant (he/him)

King Florian Diamant (né Saphir) is the husband of Queen Elcina Flavia Diamant. He is the youngest of 2 children. Before marrying Elcina, he was the General of the Grasslands Kingdom's army and was very successful on the battlefield, described by some as a "monster" or a "demon from hell". Nowadays, he considers himself a family man, acting as King Father to the kingdom since his daughter, Queen Adalia Elcina Diamant, was crowned upon the passing of Elcina, her mother. Florian is also the father of the Accused Royal/Main Character. Adalia is said to have inherited his softer features, unless she and her sibling are identical, in which, she then resembles their mother. Florian is regularly described as "kind" and "laid-back" but a "pushover". He is currently 58 years old, as of the start of the story.

Queen Adalia Elcina Diamant (she/her)

Queen Adalia Elcina Diamant is the oldest child of Queen Elcina Flavia Diamant and King Florian Diamant. She has been crowned as queen of the Grasslands Kingdom, officially, for a week. She is the older twin sister to the Accused Royal/Main Character, by 10 minutes. She is described to be "kind" and "nice" and "a bit bossy". The citizens are hopeful for her rule, despite her following in the rather large footsteps of her mother. Adalia did not get along with Elcina, her mother. Their relationship worsened a few weeks before Elcina's death. Adalia is Aro/Ace. She is 24 years old, by the start of the story.

The Accused Royal/Main Character (she/her, he/him, or they/them)

The Accused Royal/Main Character is the playable character of the game. They are the youngest child of Queen Elcina Flavia Diamant and King Florian Diamant. They are the younger twin sibling of Queen Adalia Elcina Diamant, by 10 minutes. They are her only heir. Per tradition, they are named after their parent. Adalia being the oldest was named after Elcina, so the Accused Royal/Main Character is named after Florian. Their middle name differs slightly based on how they identify. If they are female, Floriana is their middle name. If they are male, their middle name is Florian, and if they are nonbinary, their middle name is Flor. They are described as "free-spirited", "independent", and "naive". They are quick to speak their mind, earning them the ire of the Chamber of Merchants, with Adalia usually stepping in to settle the waves they make. They were not very close to their mother, but are close to their father. They are 24 years old, by the start of the story.

Happy tdov to fat trans people. 🏳️‍⚧️ Biggest thing that helped me as a trans kid was seeing older fat trans people. There were a lot of really irritating "advice" posts going around early in my time on the internet with a lot of misinformation in them, but one that I constantly saw (in addition to people claiming you should wear your pants rediculously low or only wear button ups) were posts saying you had to lose weight to transition. Can confidently confirm that is completely untrue. 👍

#seal.txt #tdov #that 'sky and mike' image of the two old trans dudes hugging was one that I had saved to my phone as a trans teen #and i would look at it sometimes and just wonder how they had made it #idk its just nice knowing we live that long and its not a requirement to be skinnyin order to be respected and loved and get old #some of the old 'advice' posts i saw were really completely bizarre and a lot of them stick with me to this day in insecurities #this would have been 2016 ish tumblr so i know not that long ago but i would have been around 13 for reference #weird that i remember so many of the things i read back then. i could probably fill a post with things i was misinformed on due to Tumblr #specifically tumblrs run by people that i didnt really have the knowledge or awareness to understand probably didnt have my best interests #like 'trans rights ' blogs i would follow and not notice until much later were quite the opposite #this is the consequence of viewing social media before i knew all the secret codewords and my brain was much less developed than it is now

how similar zuko and ozai look from side profile got me thinking:

i mean they have the same straight forehead, same brow, and the long and sharp nose. having a familial resemblance to the person you hate most in the world is real and it sucks. i imagine this bothers zuko for a long time, bc every time he looks in the mirror he's reminded of ozai.

until one day he gets socked in the face by an assassin and breaks his nose. ever since then he has a nose bump and he's very happy with it

#id in alt text #i've been hanging on to this idea for years #every time i draw him side profile i put extra effort in his little nose bump #got to spread the agender #zuko #click for quality #avatar #avatar the last airbender #firelord zuko #atla #fanart #zuko fanart #my art #this is your reminder to FLIP THE CANVAS i had to do so much liquifying 😭 #also that rightmost zuko?? prettiest thing i have ever drawn wtf and i barely used a reference image. how did i do that #tea arts🍵
