#yeah this post is about wonder woman

[oliver-queen-apologist]

believe it or not some female characters don’t have to be mothers. some female characters shouldn’t be mothers. some female characters have a history of expressed disinterest in being mothers. some female characters would have to do a complete 180 in characterization in order to be mothers.

#yeah this post is about wonder woman #but it applies to a lot of women in dc comics #there’s a reason i never want certain dceu children to enter mainstream canon lmao

i think women in media need to start describing the men they're in love with as "beautiful" more often. like way more often. i'm not kidding. it's not a gendered word. there's no way that society is going to give up the idea that it is anytime soon, but wow i want to tell men that they're beautiful. i think it would be good for society to see that on the tv.

#yeah this post was inspired by a scene from chuck #SUE ME #THAT MAN IS BEAUTIFUL IN LIKE SO MANY SENSES OF THE WORD #but anyways the general statement is still true #i actually remember arguing with a friend about this years ago #it makes me wonder about the differences in how i see men i love vs. how the average woman sees men she loves #i see the face of a man i love and i want to write poetry about it #i HAVE written poetry about that concept #men are beautiful and i think they would benefit from hearing that #anyways i love men #chuck bartowski most of all #i mean what #i've been awake for too long

yk in retrospect it really is no surprise that rgg has a lot of queer fans. outside of the games being utterly homosexual of course

#snap chats #sorry i finally finished reading the second volume of yakuza's bias #GREAT manga i cant recommend it enough im already crying waiting for the third one to be translated #i got a stroke when the manga mentioned.. those like. ai-chat character things #like christ i know this is a new series and the japanese version was released in january but my GOD this is still topical #anyway let me. get to my point LMAO #because while i was reading there was a speech given by My Main Man that ive noticed is. p common in yakuza media #yk a speech about how the only people who'll give them (yakuza) worth is themselves #and that they'll forever be casted out by society so their passion is the only thing to turn to and live for. something like that #and of COURSE i remember a similar sentiment from The Clan Heir Is A Trans Woman #and listen..... organized crime is very different from being queer. im pretty sure dont quote me on that-- #HOWEVER when you have messages like that being thrown left and right... yeah its no wonder LMAO #of course its not note-for-note and the contexts are VERY different LMAO but yk what i mean #its like that one post talking abut monsters and monsterfucking being queer or something #dont listen to me i only go here on legality but i think im onto something #ok bye im gonna stare at my ceiling until i pass out. i wanna start working on my dummy comic but alas... #too busy with comms this week... AND im sleepy...

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

#BEGONE!!! *wizard beam blast leaving a black smoking crater in the middle of the tumblr dashboard* #I think another downside to everyone doing everything on phone apps on shitty tiny screens nowadays is the inability to really see details #of an image and thus its easier to share BLATANTLY fake things like.. even 'good' ai art has pretty obvious tells at this point #but especially MOST of it is not even 'good' and will have details that are clearly off or lines that dont make sense/uneven (like the imag #of a house interior and in the corner there's a cabinet and it has handles as if it has doors that open but there #are no actual doors visible. or both handles are slightly different shapes. So much stuff that looks 'normal' at first glance #but then you can clearly tell it's just added details with no intention or thought behind it. a pattern that starts and then just abruptly #doesn't go anywhere. etc. etc. ) #the same thing with how YEARS ago when I followed more fashion type blogs on tumblr and 'colored hair' was a cool ''''New Thing''' instead #of being the norm now basically. and people would share photos of like ombre hair designs and stuff that were CLEARLY photoshop like #you could LITERally see the coloring outside of the lines. blurs of color that extend past the hair line to the rest of the image #or etc. But people would just share them regardless and comment like 'omg i wish I could do this to my hair!' or 'hair goallzzzz!! i #wonder what salon they went to !!' which would make me want to scream and correct them everytime ( i did not lol) #hhhhhhggh... literally view the image on anything close to a full sized screen and You Will SEe #I don't know why it's such a pet peeve of mine. I think just as always I'm obsessed with the reality and truth of things. most of the thing #that annoy me most about people are situations in which people are misinterpreting/misunderstanding how something works or having a misconc #eption about somehting thats easily provable as false or etc. etc. Even if it's harmless for some random woman on facebook to believe that #this AI generated image of a cat shaped coffee machine is actually a real product she could buy somewhere ... I still urgently #wish I could be like 'IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION. YOU SEE???? ITS NOT REALL!!!!! AAAAA' hjhjnj #Like those AI shoes that went around for a while with 1000000s of comments like 'omg LOVE these where can i get them!?' and it's like YOU #CANT!!! YOU CANT GET THEM!!! THEY DONT EXIST!!! THE EYELETS DONT EVEN LINE UP THE SHOES DONT EVEN #MATCH THE PATTERNS ARE GIBBERISH!! HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THEY ARE NOT REAL!??!!' *sobbing in the rain like in some drama movie* #Sorry I'm a pedantic hater who loves truth and accuracy of interpretation and collecting information lol #I think moreso the lacking of context? Like for example I find the enneagram interesting but I nearly ALWAYS preface any talking about it #with ''and I know this is not scientifically accurate it's just an interesting system humans invented to classify ourselve and our traits #and I find it sociologically fascinating the same way I find religion fascinating'. If someone presented personality typing information wit #out that sort of context or was purporting that enneagram types are like 100% solid scientific truth and people should be classified by the #unquestionaingly in daily life or something then.. yeah fuck that. If these images had like disclaimers BIG in the image description somewh #re like 'this is not a real thing it's just an AI generated image I made up' then fine. I still largely disagree with the ethics behind AI #art but at least it's informed. It's the fact that people just post images w/o context or beleive a falsehood about it.. then its aAAAAAA

[oldtvandcomics]

The Public Domain Discourse, as I decided to call it ("characters and works should never enter the Public Domain because that's disrespectful to the original artist") is fascinating to experience.

You see, I usually stay very successfully away from fandom discourses. The way I'm doing this is by completely ignoring everything and everyone, and just doing my own thing. Said thing consists to a good part out of older media, because old media fandoms are chill as fuck. There are usually around five people at a time talking about whatever thing, and it is very easy to be friendly if you know that there are only five of you. Even if you don't like something that someone does, you put some effort into ignoring it and focus on the fact that at least this person likes the same thing you do. I have read fic before that features a ship that borderline squicks me out, because it also featured a pulp hero I was hyperfocussing on at the moment and couldn't find anything else. And I had a lovely conversation with the author in the comment section. A lot of old media fandoms is just telling people that the Thing even exists. Or someone draws a picture, maybe writes a story. I have seen a lot of analysis.

So that's what it is normally like. Now suddenly in the middle of it all burst a bunch of randos yelling about how the Public Domain shouldn't exist, because what if somebody makes Bad Art with it. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AMAZING SOME BIGGER PROFILE ART ABOUT SOME OF MY FAVORITE HEROES WOULD BE?!

#PEOPLE ARE WATCHING STEAMBOAT WILLIE FOR THE FIRST TIME #PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT STEAMBOAT WILLIE #YOU CAN GET MERCH WITH OG MICKEY MOUSE MADE BY SMALL ARTISTS #and yeah there is a lot of nonsense but also this was the first week?? #those people will leave and the ones who stay will be actually invested #and that will be a lot more people than before! #you could use this opportunity to increase your fandom a hundredfold! #you could try and replicate the success of Dracula Daily! #instead you are *checks notes* #making posts about how you hope copyright laws become perpetual so that Wonder Woman never enters the Public Domain #like ????? #fascinating #Public Domain Discourse #Mickey Mouse #small fandoms #old fandoms #Public Domain

I'll never understand jealous people

#just saw a video of a woman saying that when she and her husband started dating they agreed to delete #everyone they had some sort of a thing with (even just a conversation - i'm assuming the flirty kind) from every social media #(and then she went on to describe weird shit they still do like not being allowed to go out unless they are together) #and I just don't get any of that #their brains work at a totally different wave length than mine like sure maybe it works for them and they are happy like that #but if someone tried to impose any rules like the ones she was talking about i would just go no thanks #maybe it's because I fit the pda autism profile lol #(so yeah my brain really works differently) #text #personal #even reminded me of the time my ex asked if she could post a selfie (because of what she was wearing i assumed) #and i was like sure #but my brain was going a mile a minute wondering why she was asking that because why ? i just don't get why i would get a say in that #anyway long story short #i just don't understand this sort of thing

Normal people: vent about their feelings in a diary or blog post

Me: makes a whole ass zine at nearly midnight

#okay so i was CONSIDERING the vent zine #and then um something and then i was like “yeah no i cant rest until i get this out” #so i sat down and made this vent zine that's gonna embarrass me next year lmao #am i okay? ... actually I'm trying to be okay now #I'm just questioning something about someone #sorry to keep referring back to That Thing it's just been on my mind a lot #even before that vent post for a while now i was wondering if everything really was okay. if it was making me okay. #because i dont want to be selfish and abandon someone when they need me. I've been abandoned before. #but it's been going on like this for a while and I'm taking too much of it in #i cant even see their name on my phone or like receive a message without going through mini heart attacks wondering if something's wrong- #-again and if i need to hear another drama again #it kind of feels uncomfortable as well in a way. like they're oversharing and that I'm not supposed to be knowing so much #maybe that's just me though. maybe im automatically distancing myself without realising it? #i dont know i just want to hide and not be so... involved i guess? #i think maybe I'm a person more suited to lighter friendships. or maybe there's been so much heaviness that this is just too much now #i dont know. i dont hate them at all but i wouldn't be too upset if they ghosted me (maybe thats just how i feel right now) #i dont know if I'm running away from my problems instead of trying to fix them or something #i have fixed them before. i have communicated and fixed issues before but this time i just cant anymore #okay that's enough rambling. it's midnight #mind you my zine does look pretty good. for a zine made out of a single sheet of paper and written/doodled on in black pen with a lil red #alright that's enough from me now. if you've stayed for this long go drink some water-i know you havent hydrated in ages #(says the woman who hasnt hydrated either-)

rambling time but while I’m fine with emerald getting redeemed (it was gonna happen eventually) and thank fuck for ilia getting redeemed but if they redeem cinder and especially if they redeem salem herself I will throw a metal chair at

#not tagging bc I’m rambling #cinder may have had a sad backstory but she’s also an abusive piece of shit villain who has KILLED PEOPLE #huh wonder who that sounds like. and if she meets ANY fate that isn’t exactly what [THAT GUY]’s was I’ll be side eyeing bombastically #there was a post that was like. what if emerald became a maiden and killed cinder and if there is a v10 please let that happen so help me #and if SALEM is redeemed? yeah fuck no. fuck off. i feel bad for her because the gods are shitheads but she is AN EQUALLY TERRIBLE PERSON #SHE KILLED HER HUSBAND AND KIDS. AND OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING ELSE SHES DONE #i beg on my hands and knees clasping my hands together to stop woobifying the female villains. in my eyes it’s actually sexist #because noooo a woman can never be held reprehensible for her evils 🥲🥲 they just weak wittle babies who do nuthin wrong!!!! #like no fuck off. that’s sexist. genuinely to me. #and the sexism extends to the men too. i want to hope merc will get redeemed but we’re talking about this show. #male victims of abuse get either swept aside or ignored or KILLED. #and no man in this show except for JAUNE and I guess james can ever show emotion EVER EVER because EMOTIONS ARE FOR GIRLS #AND JF THEY SHOW THAT EMOTION ANY EMOTION ITS CUZ THEYRE WEAK.

[redwinterroses]

by far the wildest take I have seen recently has been "tags are for my organization only, and content creators shouldn't be looking at their tags on tumblr."

Like. okay first of all: cc's are people and they are tumblr users just like anyone else. Expecting them to interact with the site in some weird, circumspect way is ridiculous. Why in the world should someone have to blacklist or avoid the tags for their own work or character?

Second: tags exist in order to find things. On your own personal blog, when reblogging things, they're for organization (and helping your followers block things.) But when you make a post and tag it, that goes into the main tag. That's how tumblr WORKS. (Or at least, is supposed to. Sometimes it's hard to get things into the main tag. That's another issue entirely.) Saying "I tagged it with this person's name but I didn't want them to SEE it" is insane -- if you don't want people interacting (and that! includes! the possibility! of a cc!) then don't maintag it. It's that simple.

I don't know if this is a newbies-don't-get-how-tumblr-works thing or what but if you put something about someone on the internet, they 100% have the right to interact with it, positively, negatively, or otherwise. Especially if you specifically tag them.

#not making this rebloggable because i don't want to have chain arguments with the reblogs #but come on people. this is common sense #and yeah it's about the pearl thing but i didn't want to call anyone out specifically so... whatever #just be grown ups okay? try? #discourse #putting this in the tags because i don't want to make another post and probably no one will see this so i can vent in relative obscurity-- #someone's reblogged my og tango post (which someone else added the pearl stuff to) #being all ''uh ACKSHUALLY pearl took down that post so? it doesn't actually matter and stop treating it like a hard boundary'' #so you're telling me that this woman expressed a boundary about her character #tumblr -- PREDICTABLY -- jumped down her throat about it #and she FOR SOME REASON decided to take down the post?? #that doesn't read as ''she got pressured into shutting up'' to anyone else?? #GAH this is so dumb she's a grown woman she can defend herself BUT #this fandom can be garbage sometimes and this is a prime example #''oh she took it back she must be fine with it'' #no she took down the post after a bunch of people attacked her over it i'm embarrassed to be seen with these people #AND THEY'RE ON MY DANG POST #...i wonder if I can turn off the reblogs on that version

You tell me men are monsters

Not realizing it, you taught me

I need to become a monster

To be a man in your eyes

#any sort of transphobes FUCK OFF I'LL BLOCK #ignore me. this is about my T/3R/F mom. #if you are wondering - yes i am nonbinary #but i consider myself much closer to being a man in terms of gender #than to being a woman #fuck it. hope y'all relate -> #transmasc #I'm scared to post it. but I'll be brave. this is what being queer is about to me. brave and strong. yeah.

[compulsiveobsessing]

terfs are so fucking annoying with how subtle they try to be, even though once you learn the dogwhistles theyre readily apparent

'not a radfem, just a fed up lesbian' already a red flag and then boom, a couple posts into the blog there is blatant transphobia

#it's always against transwomen too. like lesbians are under attack #some post of theirs was reblogged by someone ive been following for a long time :/ and it was talking about how girls are shamed for #the changes their bodies go through during puberty and theyre taught to hide but for boys it is celebrated and fun and a right of passage #not like boys are always comfortable or excited about puberty either??? 'boners are funny' actually from what ive heard #from guys it can be pretty embarrassing and stressful #ANYWAY. the part that tipped me off the most was at the end when they came in with a #'no wonder so many woman are uncomfortable with womanhood' or smth like that. yeah yeah youre talking about transmen and afab nb people #how about you shut up and stop assuming you know more about someone's gender than they do :D

[the-trans-dragon]

Kinda a weirdly specific take, but I don’t know how anyone could reach the “all men are bad” conclusion unless they like. Never work retail.

Like, really? All men? I get a lot of annoying sexist remarks thrown at me all day (by men and women) but I also get treated with respect by men?

Sometimes a customer is a man who politely asks me where to find something and then thanks me and goes about his day?

Idk, I just can’t imagine living within society and never meeting a good man. Sometimes people are assholes. Sometimes they’re very gentle and understanding and want you to have a good day. Sometimes they’re men and sometimes they’re women.

Also every single person is going to have Morally Good and Morally Bad qualities according to an individuals specific, subjective definitions. The nicest man is going to have some bad qualities, but that doesn’t make him bad. A cruel woman is going to have some good qualities, but that doesn’t make her good.

What are they even judging people by? By actions? By intentions? By affect on the world? By how close the person is to 100% meeting all of their individual rules for Being Morally Good? How does someone work retail (and see every type of person there is) and decide that they’re an authority on if Every Man Ever is bad or not?

#sorenhoots #what I’m trying to say is: if you’ve never met a man who’s nice you have gotten to live a very different life than me #most men that *are* assholes to me are like. typical conservative white cishet guys #like the kind that Christian BakeSale Women end up marrying yknow? like the kind all my old classmates ended up marrying? #but it’s like? have you not ever been around men who aren’t at the top of society? have you not ever been around men who #have different political views than their conservative father? #have you not ever worked retail??????? #if someone has only ever met bad men; they live in such a different world than me #I work at a liquor store and I literally see every social class of human #rich fuckers who think I’m an idiot for not knowing what their Special Bourbon #and people who have $3 to their name and are spending it on the cheapest vodka we have so they can forget about life for a bit #all genders all social classes all sexualities all ages #and getting exposed to literally every type of person ever has absolutely proven to me that #men can be soft and kind and gentle and tender and sympathetic #and men can be aware of how it sucks to be a woman and accommodate for the way they know other men are shitty #and they can be so good and kind and it’s unforgettable #yeah the rudest assholes I ever had the displeasure to be near were men; but I’ve also been treated like dogshit by women #and I can’t say which gender has shown me the most kindness. truly they all have #I wonder if I’ll save this as a draft or post it #im posting it I guess
