Veiled Queer People Belong In Queer Spaces Too

I've seen this idea that's sort of ingrained in the queer community that someone who dresses modestly and/or veils is either homophobic or doesn't belong in queer spaces. In reality, there are many queer people that wear veils like hijab/niqab, tichel, himation/tegidion, the list goes on. I think that idea comes from veiling being associated with misogyny and misogyny being linked with homophobia. While misogyny is often linked with homophobia, veiling is NOT a misogynistic practice. There's also this idea that men/nonbinary people can't and don't wear veils and many trans men and nonbinary people feel invalidated because queer and cishet people alike don't know that many religions allow and even encourage men to wear veils. In Hellenic polytheism (my religion) men and women alike have historically worn veils like the himation. I get a lot of people asking me why I identify as transmasc while wearing a veil and telling me that there's no point in me being nonbinary while wearing veils.

#cw: animal death #cw: blood #i think after this ash goes back home and finds herself thinking of snow more and more #while snow returns to her own kingdom and forgets much of this encounter until ash reaches some renown as a monster with a blade #after which snow becomes extremely fixated on her and remembers her as the girl who watched her bury a dead bird in a flowerbed #lesbian first dates be like #anyway #i like the irony of snow's nickname being little dove seeing as how shes not exactly a very peaceful person #although she may seem like it on the surface #shes kind of difficult to write too. ive gotta balance her veil of innocence with genuine sincerity #the fact that she believes her own delusions is what makes her such a fun character #one day ill move on from these characters but i love my homicidal daughters very much #thank you for reading #sapphic art #comic art #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics #heartearters

Uploading all my Tomgreg art at once from the past few week before season 4 hits, who knows in what kind of mental state i'm gonna be once it does :')

#tomgreg #succession #dont even talk to me i started watching this show when i had nothing to do at work and now i watch it with averiel my good friend averiel #and we are going to watch s4 together and i feel physically ill from bein so excited #so ya thats what ive been up to... anyway. i love these idiots they desever nothing but the worst (affectionate) #im also a tomshiv lover btw. im the one who yells 'THIS IS HOW TOMSHIV CAN STILL WIN' while they are actively losing on screen #thats the kind of person i am #dont look at me (lying on the floor) #okay i was not going to say stuff in the tags and let the art speak for itself but i NEED to point out details in the wine Painting.. #i put a lot of work into that one. thinly veiled metaphors and symbolism yknow.. #greg is gripping the stem of the wine glass with his full fist. tom and greg are dressed in the same outfit (sock garters included) #greg look appalled but he is not doing anything about the spill. tom is fondly pouring greg more and more wine. he is doing him a favor #i colored the red wine the same way i would color blood :) oh and tom is not really touching greg #only holding the chair in place. greg is making himself look smaller than he is like usual #oh and @ the person who said that it's the inverse of the tom and nate scene i love the way you think. i did not think of that before #but god. yeah. i actually thought about the scene change from when roman uhh.. christens his office in s1. the one with the coffee machine #i always go insane at that cut. this is not exactly the same since it's more.. about emotions but yknow.. it can be.. the same...

For as long as the heavens could remember, it is rumored that Hua Cheng has a spouse whose identity is hidden behind a veil.

#tgcf #heaven officials blessing #xie lian #hua cheng #hualian #天官赐福 #AU where xie lian meets hua cheng fairly early into his 2nd banishment when he still covered his face and he never broke the habit #also there’s something spicy about a veiled sl who only shows his face to one person in the world #my hand slipped

Good news! You aren't required to make your hobbies and passions "marketable." In fact, your crafts, hobbies, and passions don't even need to be public if you so choose. You don't have to spend all of your energy becoming perfect if you aren't enjoying the process. You are not a product, you are a person, a creative, and your work also does not need to be a product.

#positivity #yet another post that's like... thinnly-veiled as being for myself #i find myself freezing with anxiety when i think about the things i used to do (writing especially) because... #...i had felt this force to make it ~content~ and ~marketable to an audience~ and it was so fucking daunting... #...it felt like being a gladiator in a coliseum #even now i fight the urge to equate being marketable to being acceptable and worthy of admiration and praise #i wish i hadn't burnt myself out of writing by doing this because i'm simultaneously grieving my writing and hating it #and it sucks the life out of what makes you feel like a person and it takes the art out of art #so be free! pist your art or don't! you are beholden to nobody!!! #(obviously this is not the case for professional artists who rely on their art to keep them alive) #(and i criticize heavily the idea that audiences are entitled to an artists labour) #(i understand that this isn't universal and if it doesn't apply to you then you don't have to take me seriously) #(if you are a professional artist or what have you i hope you are able to feed and house yourself off of that career!) #(i hope you are able to live a happy life and be able to keep loving what you're doing)

I hate shipping discourse but

I see so many antishippers say "Oh we're the normal ones" but then post shit like "to any proshipper reading this I will eat your teeth, tie you to the front of my car and drive head on into a brick wall"

I'm sorry but I don't think you're normal sir what the fuck

#y'all keep bringing up how anyone irl would think proshippers are weird #but who outside of your terminally online friend group would think you're a well adjusted person after reading that #antis are weird #these are just thinly veiled self-insert torture fantasies at this point #antiship #proship #proship safe #shipping discourse

[sits bolt upright from lying on the floor, idly contemplating the ceiling at 5:29 p.m.]

MAYBE I’M NOT WORTHLESS! MAYBE I’M NOT EVIL WRAPPED IN DISGUISE! MAYBE I’M NOT STAINED AND DIRTY AND CORRUPTED IN MY SOUL! MAYBE I’M NOT HORRID! MAYBE PEOPLE REALLY WEREN’T TOTALLY TRICKED INTO LIKING ME! MAYBE I’M NOT A BLACK STAIN AND DRAIN ON THE WORLD! MAYBE I ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING GOOD TO SHARE!

#THIS IS A REVELATION #I was reading ao3 comments and it suddenly hit me that these are REAL #and I like. I am real. the world is real. I think I saw through the nonstop dissociation veil for half a second there #I. know a lot of things rationally. I thought I had been learning them emotionally too. #I realize now that I am not #but also! glory and trumpets! the glimpse of that concept where I am not an evil bad angry hurtful violent manipulative selfish human #that was a good glimpse. I hope I can believe that for minutes at a time someday #wow. can you imagine if we felt like that all the time. what the fuck. no one could stop us #I hope we get there someday! #I hope we all make it! #personal #trauma evolution

I think the reason people get so defensive about how Imogen's powers are seen in Gelvaan is because they imagine themselves as Imogen, experiencing her drawbacks (headaches, isolation, negative attention). If, however, one were to imagine themself as a citizen of Gelvaan, it's pretty clear that, even if these powers were being used unintentionally, this would be extremely invasive and unsettling to experience! But really the clincher for me is that most of the people who make this argument (that Imogen's powers are primarily a burden to her and aren't that big a deal the people of Gelvaan are just haters) have me blocked and won't DM me their personal information on demand.

#like is it ok for a random person to know everything you're thinking or not. live your values. #keeping in mind it is truly a random person. you don't get to choose who it is. #like. assuming the veil of ignorance. how do we treat both the psychic and those surrounding the psychic. #cr tag

thinkin abt how dragons are represented onsite recently vs in the past what with regards to anthropomorphism and

yknow what that's what polls are for innit

*that's counting all moderns + abbys, gaolers, veilspun - simplifying a bit so that i don't have to think abt whether stuff like coatl tail wings technically count. basically i mean those with one pair of forelimbs, hindlimbs, & wings & nothing else that would rly affect locomotion

#my original point is just that i thot it was interested susie got such a bipedal wheelchair #when most ppl ive seen with dragons w/ assistive devices for their hind legs did something yknow quadruped appropriate #like a dog wheelchair #not that either way's wrong it'd just surprise me if a huge portion of people would immediately choose to go the route the site-art did? #ive for sure seen ppl who do go the more anthro direction but im personally very. mlp all-fours with sm slightly nonsensical forelimb usage #i totally see like. wildclaws moving on two legs. i can sorta see higgins walking around with that cane? #but it's not how i'd design a nocturne by default #i can also see like. maybe veils n such flying almost exclusively. like loons i guess #technically if we're going with my 'wildclaws moving like kangaroos' thing they'd b pentapedal
