#stop erasing them

[soft-october-night]

If you actually believe there are "virtually no" middle aged or elderly gay men left you need to log the fuck off and go to LGBT+ spaces in real life and go talk to them. They have stories they want to tell. They have lessons they want to share. They want to pass on the lives of the friends they knew who are gone, and those who are still with us.

Believing that they're "all gone" because you're in an internet echo chamber where they don't happen to spend their time is erasing their existence.

#i have dresses i inherented from drag queens operating in the 80s #i talked to a man who saw That Episode of the last of us and cried because he saw himself and his partner who had just passed away #there are so many of them #stop erasing them #go find them and talk to them

“gay actors should play gay roles” what about those straight actors who really really like to

ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story

#you know. the one with the pendulum #'hey. why are you as an allo person shipping this aspec character like this' #'oh aspec people can still date/have sex!' #'yeah. now can you answer the question that i actually asked you' #like goddamn just say you don't care they're aspec and you want to fulfill a sexual/romantic fantasy with them. that's Fine #it like. sucks. for sure. lotta aspec people will be unhappy with you. but everyone is entitled to their own wants and experiences. #but i'd prefer you just be honest with it rather than using our community's conversation points as retroactive justification #and ONCE AGAIN. you guys are real fucking cavalier with this shit and it shows a real fundamental lack of respect for aspecs #when most of you would NEVER ship a canonically gay character with the 'other' gender. cause again. it would suck. #you can do it. nobody's Stopping you. but it would suck. #and we understand that putting a queer character in situations that erase that queerness is shitty! until it comes to aspec characters! #and whoa... there it is again... people don't consider aspec identities to be queer... crazy how it always comes back to that #anyway. you all know what i'm talking about. have seen many posts about this lately #it is [ long sigh ] unfortunately a very hot button issue with the advent lately of alastor hazbinhotel #which. again. god i wish there were other canon aspec characters to be having this conversation about. #but we'll have to do our best with what we have #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #aroace #talking #aspec #asexual #asexuality

ESSENCE OF ASSERTING DOMINANCE

I’ve had this roughly sketched out since Gaiden came out and finally decided to finish it

what the fuck

#i draw them too much #maybe i just like sets of 3 #tis the ‘tism #i’ll stop when i run out of steam #it might be a while tho #like a dragon #rgg #ryu ga gotoku #yakuza #like a dragon gaiden #the man who erased his name #daigo dojima #goro majima #taiga saejima #3jima #the jimas #kazuma kiryu #shishido kosei #teisuart #fanart #art

Trainwreck in double speed

#Fuyuhiko kuzuryu #Peko pekoyama #kuzupeko #super danganronpa 2 #sdr2 #an art #Fuyuhiko ruining himself with the pressure and violence and fitting into shoes he neither fits nor wants #Peko ruining herself by erasing herself and falling into a role she hates for someone she loves #Both of them shaving off bits of themselves until they're just not the same people at all in a bad way. Together through it all! #Both of them hate it but are powerless to change what they were sculpted into! #Anyway. How are we feeling tonight guys. I'm having weird feelings about family (not found but obligatory) #(Hiko and Peko aren't found family they actually are. Enforced obligatory family that's barely even family.) #(That's NOT as in they dont care about each other they care so much. But they didnt grow up as family or friends) #(They grew up through obligation) #OKAY time to stop talking

I feel like a lot of people in the fandom tend to forget this, so I'm just here to give a kind, thoughtful reminder :]

Ambrosius Goldenloin in the movie is an East Asian man (Korean-coded), his skin is tan, his eyes are monolid and his nose is big

He's voiced by Eugene Lee Yang - a Korean-American actor who also has Chinese and Japanese heritage. Eugene Lee Yang looks like this:

During the production, when Ambrosius was decided to be East Asian, artists looked up queer East Asian-American men, and based Ambrosius off of them. Ambrosius is literally drawn to look like Eugene Lee Yang

Please draw him as such, thank you

#nimona #ambrosius goldenloin #no but its so annoying bro #why do people literally forget hes EAST ASIAN #AND HIS CHARACTER TACKLES THE “MODEL MINORY” MYTH EAST ASIAN IMMIGRANTS WERE MET WITH IN USA #race in nimona is important because as one person said #you cant make a movie about a police state and not touch upon the race subject #HE IS EAST ASIAN #PLEASE IF YOURE DRAWING NIMONA THE MOVIE FANART (in the comic hes white yea) THEN PLEASE LEARN HOW TO DRAW MONOLIDS AND BIG NOSES I BEG #why am i so pressed abt this?? #he looks like me bro #his features are my features and im not joking #so when i see ppl erase them #its not well for my self-esteem lets put it this way #please stop erasing his race while drawing #thank you :) #ofc i havent made this post bc of one person who blogged that Golitzine should play Ambrosius what r u talkin abt #Golitzine is a slavic man hes russian #a russian prince #ambrosius is east asian #plus we dont need a nimona live action itd be stupid #a short animated film abt bal's and ambrosius's childhood? sure #thats it #live action remakes SUCK #can you believe i made this post purely out of spite

There’s some people on Twitter saying that if Eddie were to have a queer storyline he’d necessarily have to come out as bisexual because otherwise it would be like – and I quote – shitting on Shannon and Chris, and I just wanted to come in here to say that that makes absolutely no fucking sense. I don’t think anyone here has ever doubted the love Eddie has for Shannon, even after her passing. Particularly after 7x05, with the context of the now canon catholic guilt, Eddie being gay (not that I think he’d label himself anyway) would complete a puzzle for him. This man was brought up in a catholic home, with catholic teachings, and I can tell you from experience that most of those schools intervene in every aspect of your life and not just your studies. He has said it himself that the reason he married her was because she was pregnant, which again, is a very common catholic view of life – and I’m not speaking deprecatingly – but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love her, or his son. Eddie loved Shannon, he would’ve given her life for her, and I also know he never used her as a beard, nor has he done that with Ana or Marisol. He’s never used any of the women in his life, and in fact, he actually broke up with Ana the second he realized his heart wasn’t in it. Eddie Diaz is a good man who’s had to unconsciously and subconsciously hide parts of himself, and even though all we can do is speculate about his sexuality, his coming out as gay would not destroy his family, it would actually only strengthen it, considering he’d be more comfortable being who he is, regardless of who he’s with.

#stop presenting gay men who find out later in life about their sexuality as monsters #just because he married a woman and had a child with her doesn’t mean his coming out would erase his feelings for them #he’s a good person #who obviously loves them both to the bone #I don’t hear anybody saying the same thing about Michael #nobody questions his love for Athena and his kids #as they shouldn’t #I’m just so tired #don’t villainize Eddie Diaz bro #911 fox #911 #911 tv show #911 abc #eddie diaz #911 spoilers #911 season 7 #911 speculation #911 on abc #911 show #911 season seven #911 s7 #christopher diaz #shannon diaz

thinking about just how sudden and cruel Jessamine's assassination was. Corvo and Emily suddenly ripped out of their regular lives.

Corvo has only just returned after months of being separated from his family. he only stepped off the ship, barely made it to the Tower, didn't even walk through the front door before he watched Jessamine be murdered. his luggage was probably still on the ship, all his dirty clothes, warm coats for Tyvia and light silks for Sekonos, his journal and maybe a spare weapon, the nice coat for when he is meeting up with the rulers of the different isles. the little gifts he most likely collected through his travels across the Empire, for Jessamine and for Emily and maybe some members of the Tower staff that he is fond of. did he bring back candy he loved as a child so that Emily could finally try them? where did his personal correspondence go?

what about Emily? she was taken and kept locked up in the Golden Cat, and we hear her mention her doll, but what other things were left behind? her favourite cup, the plants at her windowsill? her collection of drawings, and the notebooks she kept for her lessons, paints and music instruments that she was learning to play as every proper lady should? where are her favourite fairytale books now? her wardrobe, her favourite shoes, the little hair ornaments Jessamine would tuck into her hair for all the parties and balls?

and what of Jessamine? with no family to set away memorabilia, sort through her things, her diaries and notes and letters that were waiting for an answer? the private ones, that she kept hidden away so no one could read them but her? did she have a favourite tea blend that now sits abandoned in the Tower kitchens?

we do not see their rooms, once we return to the Tower to take out Burrows. it is almost like the royal family never existed, and I must wonder: what happened with what remained behind of their lives, after Jessamine died?

#dh #dishonored #li.txt #not tagging the characters fuck that #im still in the process of rereading wlbsal and just... yeah #they all had Lives back then. lives that were full and exciting and fulled with love #and there is no trace of a nursery or of corvo's bedchamber #I didnt think about it much while playing cause I was trying to focus but just #the fact that their existence was completely wiped out.... #in those 6 months (or 7 or 8) Burrows managed to erase them from existence #and i cant stop thinking about what became of corvos belongings #they were still there on the ship #unpacked #he most likely brought gifts and collected things for himself too #what happened with all those things? #were they thrown out? burned? sold? #will he ever get to give emily all the little things he got for her? #(what will he do with the gifts he brought for jessamine)

hate when ppl want to ship an explicitly aroace character with someone and decide that it's not REALLY erasure if they make sure to mention that the character is asexual. Like,,, did you forget about the aromantic part???

This really annoys me bc demi-ro, gray-ro, and a lot more arospec identities exist! They are a vital part of our community!! What's the point of having these characters if you won't take them as an opportunity to learn about the way other people view attraction???

#this is not being said to attack anyone #i just think its ridiculous that no one acknowledges u can ship an aro character w/o erasing them being aro #(tho that changes depending on how the character canonically states their preferences) #i will literally accept any compromise pls just stop erasing canon aspecs bc u think their dynamic w another character is couple goals #aromantic #asexual #aromantic asexual #fandom #hazbin alastor

90% of “i support gender fuckery” folks on this site when someone participates in gender fuckery in a way that doesn’t align with lesbian separatism:

decided to do a little "return to form" with some silly pixel art!! :3

i don't remember what possessed me to draw these two specifically hanging out but whatever, it was fun! i had fun!!!

alt version where he's rambling about the weird fucked up polycule situation he put himself in lol

#i'll talk about the “polycule” thing some other time cuz i have a lot of thoughts about the three of them #but for now that little triangle chart is good enough #every so often i go “aw i love doing pixel art its so satisfying why did i stop doing it?” #and then it smash cuts to eighteen and a half hours later and you see me staring at my computer screen with sunken bloodshot eyes #and the most insane case of shrimp posture ever exhibited by a human being #erasing and then replacing the same two goddamn pixels trying to figure out what the hell i'm doing wrong here for it to look so off #and then i zoom out to discover i've been tracing over the worst piece of shit sketch ever crafted by human hands #and so i set my PC on fire in shame and crawl back into my burrow #vowing never to do pixel art ever again #and then like 8 month pass and i go “aw i love doing pixel art its so satisfying why did i stop doing it?” and the cycle repeats itself #/hj #the amazing world of gumball #tawog #gumball watterson #tbh creature #autism creature #my art #gumball tawog #tawog gumball #gumball #tawog fanart #tawog fan art #fan art #pixel art #colored lineart #colored line art #yippee

I feel like people didn't really register when cc!BBH said that his character would kill everyone on the island to get the eggs back

You guys know he probably didn't mean a normal kill in minecraft where they respawn like...genuine kill kill

#qsmp #q!bbh #q!badboyhalo #bbh #badboyhalo #i feel like people just closed their ears when that happen #and continued to be like “well other islanders did worse than him so people should stop villainising him” while they completely rid other #people's actions of context #and ignoring if q!bbh had an option to never see the eggs again or get them back at the cost of erasing the entire quesadilla population #he would choose the ladder #like....canonically he would

[watchingwisteria]

i feel like comics/superhero movies do this thing where someone has a really good moral point to make, but it’s so good that the writers decide make the character evil instead and take their point to the extreme to make it seem unreasonable, and then they usually end up attacking the characters that we’re all loyal to who are usually fighting for the same thing in a different way. and i think it’s the most frustrating thing on earth probably

#namor #erik lehnsherr #jason todd #wakanda forever #black panther #let them make PROGRESS without erasing the rest of their character!! stop villainizing them for all eternity!!!! #i just met namor but like. HE HAD A POINT but then he attacked wakanda!!!!! why!!!!! #it doesn’t even align with his goals!!!!!!!!! #the real villain in wakanda forever is the us government not namor! #wakanda forever spoilers #black panther spoilers #not really but

[infiniteorangethethird]

fav kind of interaction is when a neurotypical comes up to me with "omg we are SO similar we're practically same" and then prove their point by listing off traits I only possess as a part of my masking

#'ur so kind and empathetic and social and smart and-' #yeah ik how to make ppl believe im not worth their bullying #but hey thanks for complimenting my mask #i erase my true self w this one just for you #and then they get offended when i try to tell them that im not actually like that lmao #either bc 'stop being so demeaning to urself' (bc being low/no empathy #and asocial is undesirable to them) #or bc they take my attempt at fitting in to a society that hates me by proxy of existing #as a personal attack on them #autistic #autism #actually autistic #adhd #actually adhd #neurodivergent #actually neurodivergent #masking #autistic masking #adhd masking
