idk if i can take all the blatant and enthusiastic racism in the atsv fandom much more yk.

as a black person its really dehumanising to watch the whole fandom degrade hobie to a sexual object just cos hes tall and black, say he's obviously an adult because hes tall and black, say hes aggressive and possessive and rude and mean because hes tall and black, only ever write about him in sexual content because hes tall and black.

youre not getting better at not being racist. you just found better ways to convince yourself that racism and racial stereotyping is actually supporting minorities.

yall dont see poc as actual human beings, do you? we're not human to you, are we?

it's evident in how you treat not only hobie, but miguel who you've reduced to the 'feral and aggressive latino lover', and pavitr whose whole indian heritage and masculinity has been washed away until hes now a smol baby skinny twink whose so naive and innocent and earth42 miles whose the drug dealing black guy...

we're objects of stereotype made for your use and sexualisation

...and because you dont see us as human, you dont understand how fucking harmful and painful racism truly is.

im in literal pain seeing all this shit since the movie came out. im hurting so badly rn because when i go through hobies tag trying to just find good content about a character i love and adore and have felt more seen in and represented by and respected by and cared for through in probably my whole life... only to find 800,000 fics and oneshots about how horny hobie is all the time, how mean and rude and aggressive hobie is apparently, how he would fuck random (white) fem reader so roughly all the time, how hes an adult for some fucking reason, how big and strong of a "man" he is...

racism hurts. racism is harmful. racism is traumatic. yall dont fucking understand and you dont want to or care to. because its fun and quirky because hobie is just so hot and adult like right?

when i say i hate yall, i mean it. i hate yall.

I got very loudly deadnamed and misgendered multiple times at the doctors office today. This new receptionist ignored the preferred name on my profile to deadname and misgender me loudly, louder than she talked about anyone else in the waiting room. My birth certificate says "F" nex to sex, my medical documentation reflects this, and I was still deadnamed and misgendered.

And the saving grace was a woman and her child. I wear cat-ears and the child too young to speak loved them, and kept pointing and looking at me. I'm assuming her mother kept saying "yeah, she's wearing cat-ears", "yeah, that woman has cute cat-ears", and the like. Her child was enamoured with them, and that woman didn't misgender me once. And each time my very obviously masculine deadname name came up, she looked upset at the receptionist, but not once did she give me a bad look.

It doesn't have to be much. You don't need to be a knight in shining armour, or in someones face. Simply a quiet refusal to play along with someone elses bullshit is enough. It was enough to turn a trying and tiring moment into something that put a smile on my face and joy back into my life. It wasn't a lot but it mattered to me.

#your love for trans people should outweigh your hatred for transphobes #that's how you know you're doing it right 👍 [x]

made a kigu. have some small changes/additions i wanna make on it, but i’m really pleased with how it turned out!

When censoring information out of pictures, do NOT use the marker tool. Block it out with a full filled in square, or use a mosiac filter. Marker tools are not fully opaque and are slightly off from black, which makes it possible to alter the levels and reveal the information underneath.

+ reminder i have a twitter!

the "gays" (my mutuals) on twitter are going wild over this tiktok. and uh. yeah

been watching more tiktoks from this twink and honestly this is one of the most interesting academic discussions i've seen in a while

just realized the tool i use to download these removes the watermark anyway credit to stanchrissss on tiktok

Pride month vest project, a patch a day #14: All Pride is Kink to Bigots

Hello, tumblr! I mentioned this in my stream last night with my friend and collaborator @lakemojave, but here is the official tumblr announcement: I've started a fundraiser to pay for GAS that I can't afford on my own.

I...try my best to appear pretty unflappable on this site, because my online persona relies on that. But about two years ago I was harassed by TE/RFs and no matter how much I tried to forget or get over it, there was a comment that a 17 year old made towards my appearance the has probably been the most devastating thing I've ever felt, and ever since that insult I've grown steadily and steadily more disgusted and anxious about my appearance--specifically my hair.

As an AMAB trans person, I'm of course going to experience male-pattern baldness. Even in cisgender men, more than 75% of them experience some form of heightened anxiety and dysphoria due to hair loss or fear of it. I don't know how those numbers change when talking about trans people, but I can't imagine it's not even higher.

In the interest of full transparency at the cost of, frankly, my pride: I have reached the point in my dysphoria where I am growing to be borderline suicidal. I've struggled with suicidal ideation since I was a young teenager, but this is the first time in over a decade that I've reached a level where I am terrified what will happen when it gets worse.

And so with all that said, I've started a fundraiser on PayPal to try and raise money for my gender-affirming care. Y'all might remember me from the Great Soy Sauce Conspiracy of late December of last year, and maybe also how I stopped working on the project due to mental health reasons. I remember how kind all of you were when I was struggling with living newly on my own trying to afford food and things like convection plates, and it's my hope that I could rely on you all to help me again.

With that said, I've made the decision that if I am able to fulfill this fundraiser's cost...I'm going to pick back up The Mysterious Appearance of Miss Appleton and finally finish it once and for all...in video essay format, because that feels most appropriate to me. I think I'm going to be ready for it this time.

If you've read this far, thank you so much. If you need it, though:

TLDR: I need to get myself gender-affirming surgery because i'm getting real close to suicidal over my dysphoria. I've made a fundraiser for it. If the fundraiser is successful, I'm going to finally finish the video essay for The Mysterious Appearance Of Miss Appleton. Thank you for your time and your help.

I huave an idea guys

Strange that it never occured to me. There are times I've been so upset that I've stamped around while cussing, that I've lain flat on the floor and groaned for as long as I had breath, that I've ranted my frustration aloud in an unhinged monologue, that I've swung my limbs about in a fury. All until I'd vented enough to just ... resume my normal life.

And if I'd had not the privacy of my home, I'd either have had to bottle that all up ... or open it all up where the public could scrutinize my every move. It really is a privilege to not be constantly on display like that.

[ID: tweet by Lydia Kiesling @ lydiakiesling, "Housed people have the privilege of having their worst moments in private; unhoused people don't. That gives some people the mistaken impression that the person they see acting belligerent on the street is and will be that person every single moment of their life."]

My first anatomy tutorial. How I connect arms to the torso. Simplified the muscles for better comprehension

PS. Pectoral is misspelled as “pectorial” in the picture. Don’t make that mistake haha

And I’d love to see the art made from using these as reference, you can message or tag me.. whatever you want

Edit: The extended names of the muscles:

Neck - Sternocleidomastoideus

Traps - Trapezius

Lats - Latissimus Dorsi
