Consent and Ableism
I think it goes without saying that you should not touch strangers without permission on purpose. However, this rule being completely ignored is a common experience among disabled people. Our mobility aids are just as much a part of us as our hair and clothes.
Just as you should not shove people out of your way, you should not shove someone's mobility aid out of your way. This is probably going to end in a bit of a personal rant, but just because I have wheels doesn't mean you should push me. Just because I am disabled doesn't mean you should assume that I won't understand "excuse me." And just because my wheelchair doesn't look like your able legs doesn't mean I can't (gladly!) get out of your way by myself when politely requested. And no, saying "excuse me" while pushing my wheelchair out of your way (unless I've allowed or offered you to do that) is not polite.
Tell all your friends to please remember:
We are disabled, not f-ing shopping carts.

Hey abled people
Don't offer to assist someone just to be polite
You don't get to offer to push me and then turn around and complain when I accept, or push me for like a minute and then give up while complaining.
I get if you didn't realize how heavy it is or that you might not be strong enough, just say that and apologize. And then STOP PUSHING ME. Don't continue while bitching and making me feel bad.
If you bitch at me it's only going to make me feel worse and everyone around us is going to be mad at ME for "taking advantage of you"
Usually I will only ask for help when I am at my limit, or when I'm around a group of friends I trust, so they can switch off if they get tired. When I need to get up a hill and no one is there to help I just get out and push. Until I get a power assist I still will need help from time to time.
Also in most cases, a stranger won't want or need your help unless they are in immediate need and usually then we will ask. It's very uncomfortable to have a stranger touch your chair.
You don't need to ask every wheelchair user if they need help. I think in some countries it's considered polite to ask but please..just stop if you can't back it up and actually help!!!

"there are no instructions on how to use tumblr!" and "I've been here for years (joined after 2017) and didn't know this feature existed!"
do some of you just never explore things ever? like you join a site, don't check the TOS, don't check your privacy options, don't check all the settings, never look at your stuff in desktop, and only pay attention when someone makes a post like "omg turn off this feature immediately!" ?
bro. it's your house. know where everything is and what it does, the real estate agent isn't going to hold your hand
and help yourself by following @changes so you'll actually know when tumblr announces every minor change no one notices for a couple weeks until one person screams that their favorite button was moved slightly to the left on mobile

i’m sure those “how to use tumblr” guides people keep making are helpful but at the same time. nothing will ever beat the “fuck around and find out” method

I understood some frustration with masking in terms of the hypothetical “I’m in a park all alone and I have to wear a mask?” argument during the pandemic…but we’re still complaining about masking in hospitals?? that’s literally the most obvious place you’d think to wear one?? you’re sick, other people are sick, it just makes sense?? in the open air alone, whatever, but a HOSPITAL??

There's a reason there is the BIPOC acronym: black indigenous people of color. The issues of respectful depiction and representation are intimately intertwined between black characters and indigenous characters.
Leaning into features related to monkeys (particularly, but not limited to, exaggerated round faces and big lips, especially for comedic effect) and minstrel depictions/blackface-inspired depictions of dark skinned native people is racist. There is really no good reason for it.
A lot of these depictions overlap with Nubile Savage tropes, jungle princess, and many others.
There are actual indigenous styles that do have lots of nudity...that are not just fetishistic speedo-style loinclothes. And there are lots of resources detailing indigenous fashions from many different communities and cultures across the world. You have many more options that are way cooler and more respectful. There are ways to have nudity without being fetishistic. And talking constantly about how your own native/primal themed character loves nudity and is so cool because of nudity is weird and fetishistic.
Because if you start doing research you'll find that actually a lot of indigenous peoples were a lot less nude than you think. Your thinking is influenced by decades of consuming media that wasn't researched, or was deliberately racist. Many cultures with "loinclothes" (not what most people call them btw) always wore leggings and a cover over them.
Research is fun, and with the internet, easier than ever.
I would like to give non-Americans the benefit of the doubt when it comes to depicting indigenous characters, but there really are some Lavellans and Dalish and Elvhen characters who look like caricatures.
(Also, Noble Savage isn't a good trope to lean into without reflection.)
Especially if you demonstrably can draw and paint characters who *don't* look like caricatures, it looks like you're making an active choice to depict your non-white character in a bad way. You should really double check your source material, check yourself, and find some other visual language to attach your character to than racist source materials.
It's not like Americans are fed academic articles about this stuff growing up. We are immersed in a melting pot and experience a huge amount of more subtle context and correction that teaches us what's right and wrong and uncomfortable to the diverse communities around us, and that's something that changes over time. Some things just aren't ingrained in other countries' discussions of visual language and how it handles race (boy, the concept of race is complicated in other places).
But there isn't an excuse to remain ignorant for long tbh.
The information is out there, and the bare minimum information about indigeneity being a sensitive topic is well known. If you are deciding to depict characters from backgrounds that are traditionally marginalized, fetishized, and denigrated, you should become aware of how they have been maligned!
Whether or not they are a fantasy race, every artist is drawing from the same wealth of visual language we all have available in the real world, which are tied inextricably to real world cultures for better or worse. It's not an excuse to say that it's okay to use racist depictions of black and brown characters because in-canon they're not considered racist. Maybe that means the canon material was blind to the fact that it is racist? Maybe it was a particularly clumsily done attempt at reclamation, and maybe if you don't belong to those marginalized identities, it's not up to you to decide if it was a good reclamation or not.
And if something has been brought to your attention as being racist that you didn't know previously, you don't need to grovel or kill yourself.
A concise apology and a sincere personal desire to be better is all anyone (should) want.
Getting one person who is marginalized to sign off and say "idk I don't think it was racist" and using it as a get out of jail free card isn't as protective as you think. Diverse communities are...diverse. They have many people in them of various sensitivities and their own tolerance for bias. Some are biased themselves.
But there are through-lines in visual representation of marginalized peoples that are demonstrably, broadly, offensive and harmful. Do you really want to propagate that?

i have been thinking about “forms” in music, but also “forms” in Greek philosophy (as the disembodied concept of a given thing), and how perhaps that same sense of form survives in our use of the word “formal” when describing clothes and events

I made a new knighthood, if anyone's looking for one.
Tumblr media
I've been in one by myself for a while, but I didn't like the name I gave it, so I started over. I've never really had anyone join me for any notible length of time. I made it initially so I could play with a friend, but he doesn't like gacha games, so he won't play.

Open Projects
Hello! and welcome~
I have a chronic habit of working on multiple projects at once, and so in an effort to keep them organized I’m gonna unite them via tag, so you can search and see past works within the same project/story/realm.
There are Two Categories:
Fanart
(Hi hello, I only do Dragon Age fanart, r i p lmao)
Fic Comics + Illustrations
Walkers of the Lonely Path (Mahariel, Blue Hawke, Lavellan) Doom Upon All the World (Cousland, Red Hawke, Cadash)
Dioramas:
Deep Road Diorama Dragon Age Dioramas (Hormok, Flemeth’s Hut, etc.)
Trespasser Mosaics (Finished)
Inquisitor (Lavellan) Art Doll
Original Content
Art Dolls
Florilegium
Original characters, comics and illustrations for the book I will one day publish, hopefully. Has gays. And vampires. And gay vampires.
OCs
May have overlap with Florilegium due to tagging.
~Ash
(Update: Everything has been tagged.)
