Finished is better than perfect. Also known as Emme2589/Emily Adams. She/her. 24. Traditional artist and youtuber. Queer. Agnostic atheist. My Art Blog is marshemillowart. Proship safe! Read my webcomic!  https://ahomeintheuniverse.tumblr.com/post/190694244824/page-1

Hi! I'm Marsh, resident artist, gamer, and youtuber. I love drawing comics, and I'm vehemently against harassment and censorship. I'm also a recovering ex-mormon, and I'm very passionate about manipulation and how cults gain and keep members.

No DNI, but I'll block you if you're an asshole to me. If I have a blog of yours blocked despite never interacting with me, it's probably because you're an anti and/or a terf (radfem). I'm proud to be queer and pro-fiction/proship, and I will not be tolerating any exclusionist anti-trans, anti-ace/aro, anti-kink BS.

I'm a huge fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, 3D Mario games and Luigi's Mansion, Undertale, Hollow Knight, The Henry Stickmin Collection, TES Oblivion, Professor Layton, Chibi-Robo, and MySims. I also really like Sailor Moon, Steven Universe, Danny Phantom, The Amazing World of Gumball, and anything to do with vocaloids. My favorite music often comes from Unlike Pluto, Starset, Feint, TheFatRat, VocaCircus, and Gunship. Also, I love pastel aesthetics.

My favorite movie is WALL-E, my favorite band is Owl City, and my favorite show is Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. My favorite place on earth is Puget Sound. I’d live in the sea if that were possible.

As someone who dislikes kinks, I can't believe antis and other people are willing to let kinksters die just because they personally don't like their kinks even though they've protected them and will continue to do so.

What baffles me is how many people keep dismissing kink as if it's only ever a sexual thing, and then proceed to connect everything related to kink to actual sex as if saying "kink needs to be at pride" is exactly the same as saying "people should be encouraged to piss and then cum directly on your child's face in broad daylight with no consequences" 😣😣

Like, I don't know how to explain to people that wearing a collar or a harness or a mask or being shirtless or whatever is just wearing clothes, and partial nudity is something that wouldn't be out of place on the beach, which (last I checked) definitely allows children.

For plenty of people, kink is not even sexual, (though of course it's wonderful if it is) because kink is not actually about domination or power dynamics or pain, it's about trust and intimacy! It's basically a kind of glorified roleplay, and explaining make-believe to children is actually really fucking easy.

Seriously, people need to stop acting like seeing a guy on a leash will scar a kid for life, because treating children like they're too fragile to exist just ensures they won't know what's happening when something really traumatizing does actually happen to them, and I'm so sick of watching people grow up thinking that their kinks make them evil.

Help fight for Florida abortion access!

Attention, fellow workers of Florida! Florida has a chance to help defend healthcare and bodily autonomy, but the organizers of this petition need your help!

From the website for Floridians Protecting Freedom:

"Floridians Protecting Freedom (FPF) is a statewide campaign of allied organizations and concerned citizens working together to protect Floridians’ access to abortion as reproductive health care and defend the right to bodily autonomy. FPF recognizes that all Floridians deserve the freedom to make personal medical decisions, including about abortion, free of government intrusion."

Trans ppl really are savants at turning the mundane into the sublime huh

This is me but in a trans woman way. I don't want to look like a supermodel. I want to be mom shaped, with a fat tummy and fatter tits, a smile permanently etched onto my face, cookies brownies and soup always ready for those who need it. I want to be the femme momdyke little queer kids can come to for hugs and love. I want to look like them.

Behaving like a complete perverted freak of nature is only going to convince ignorant people who don’t understand our community but don’t have any negative bias against us that the extreme loud bigots screaming about us being dangerous, are correct.

If seeing someone in some unconventional clothing is enough to turn someone away from the fight for fundamental human rights, then they weren't going to be an ally anyway, and you're a fucking traitor for kissing their asses instead of supporting people who are actively being fucking killed no matter what they do.

Seriously, nobody sending me these shitty asks was apparently old enough to remember the Calvin Garrah era of youtube, where a binary trans man tried to attack nonbinary people for "making the community look bad", and what happened? Thousands of nonbinary people were TERRIFIED of coming out of the closet, and Garrah was hated by his own community on top of being shunned by conservatives.

I grew up mormon, so I know a thing or two about sexual repression, and I can tell you that it is just as bad as masking my autism if not worse, and I still have really unhealthy ideas about sex and sexuality that I'm trying desperately hard to shake, because I've realized that literally just having kinks is not evil by default, and it's really weird to assume that a normal human experience (horniness) is in any way evil by default. That's called thoughtcrime and it's in this neat little book called 1984.

People nowadays more often understand that nonbinary people are not making the community look any worse than binary trans people, but puritans like you still insist that pride in some way needs to pander to outsiders like human rights are a compromise that is negotiable rather than accepting that people should just be allowed to be themselves without fear of getting KILLED over it.

It's no different from a bully who claims that if you just "stopped being so weird" then they would stop bullying you. Who's problem is that actually? Is it the victim who needs to pander to the bully? Or should the bully really just mind their own fucking business because if you're not hurting anyone then it's literally not a problem?

I BEG you people to give me some kind of argument that isn't chock-full of conservative dog whistles, because holy shit this is absolutely frightening.

People be like "kinky trans women are the backbone of society!!!" And then complain about people who are into bondage, pet play, latex, leather, being whipped, being stepped on, cnc, hypnosis, musk, exhibitionism, voyeurism, somno, musk, etc.

BITCH WTF DO YOU THINK KINKY MEANS?

#these are such tame kinks too......

Yup. Because any more intense or taboo and people see it as a free excuse to harass people. One tumblr user got harassed off of the platform because they had a goddamn BURPING KINK. I'm so tired of what the porn ban turned this site into. Sorry if I just sound like a cranky old woman but as someone who was born in the early 2000s and has had about 5ish or so accounts on here throughout the years, it used to be super chill and friendly to anyone who wasn't a fascist. Now it's become the home of page-long DNIs, TERFs and cryptoTERFs, baeddels, and more that even mentioning leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The point is, kink is what built pride from the ground up. If a lesbian wants to call her girlfriend mommy, daddy, master, mistress, god, goddess, bitch, whore, slut, etc. In the bedroom and she , that's their business not yours. Don't even get me started on how this website views sex workers. Thankfully it's chill with friends with benefits and open relationships in my experience for the most part, but this website has turned into a shithole for sex and kink positivity or anyone who doesn't want to be involved in discourse and do their own thing. This is getting long so I'll save my brainpower for the video game review I'm trying to write but this website is awful to kinky trans women, and worse to trans men.

Yeah this person gets it.

Okay. Since this seems to be genuinely in good faith and you seem pretty cool I'm going to try to explain this. To bigots, ALL PRIDE IS DISGUSTING KINK. ALL OF IT. Pride was founded by kinksters, trans people, and non straight people because of the common ground of bigots saying that they didn't consent to seeing their disgusting kinks and therefore it should be punishable by ruining their lives, something that we are starting to see pop up a lot again. Also please explain to me where I advocated for "sexually explicit acts in public". Kink at pride does not equal sex at pride. Kinksters literally shielded queer people from cops trying to KILL US. Pride is not and has never been "marketed" as anything, least of all kid or family friendly, because it's a protest.

Thank you for responding in good faith, but I have seen several advocates of Pride try and market it as a family friendly experience. I have often seen evidence, videos and pictures of children present at Pride, not only witnessing provocative acts, but those acts were displayed specifically for the children watching.

I have seen strip teases, dry humping, groping, public whippings, flashing of genitals, puppy plays in leather leashes, and the like, all in broad daylight. Again, whether children were present or not. While not sexual intercourse, these acts are very sexually explicit.

I understand your sentiment, and I applaud you for your enthusiasm on celebrating the Community. But either there is a rift in the community about what is and isn't acceptable at Pride, which includes Children being present, or the event is being hijacked by people who simply want to live out and showcase their fetishes, again, possibly in front of children.

Also, the blog you linked seems to have me blocked.

Bro, pride wouldn't even EXIST without kinksters! They made pride happen in the fucking first place! The leather pride flag is the second oldest pride flag, second ONLY to the original rainbow one! Pride is not supposed to be family-friendly because PRIDE IS A PROTEST!

How can you live in a world where every YouTuber gets demonetized for not being "family-friendly" enough, where tumblr's porn ban also banned a bunch of sfw queer blogs, where censorship of anything deemed "too risky" by republican shitheads has been so normalized that DECADES of queer history has simply been completely erased without a second thought, and tell me that we need to erase MORE of it for precisely the same reason as those republican shitheads???

As many others have already pointed out, "Family-Friendly" has become an anti-queer dog whistle. "No kink at pride" has already put anti-queer laws into practice. Look no further than drag shows/trans people being banned for "grooming minors" despite the fact that trans people existing and other people wearing clothing are not actually sexually explicit acts.

I understand there are some pride events that are meant to be more child friendly, perhaps where dry humping and groping could be seen as inappropriate, but how do I make people like you understand that when you say "wearing puppy masks and just the fucking human body is sexually explicit by default" you sound so fucking similar to the republicans who say "a woman pretending to be a man and using male pronouns and a man's name is just a confused girl playing out her sick fetish for the world to see!"???

Those conservatives are using purity culture to trick people, and it's fucking working. Don't let corporate sanitization into pride! It will spell doom for all of us!

You can't make conservatives happy by bashing your own community! Infighting only helps our oppressors!

WE ALL HAVE TO STAND TOGETHER, BECAUSE WHEN THE KINKSTERS ARE GONE, THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU NEXT!!!

Yeah. I was trying to assume good faith but after looking at some of the posts on silverscreeny's blog, it became clear that this person is either bluepilled, has some deconstruction of their leftover conservative thought patterns to do, or is just genuinely convinced that kink at pride is a new, invasive thing (or an old, outdated thing that makes us look bad). Kink belongs at pride because pride was founded by kinksters. If anybody has a case for kink being banned at pride it's me, as my parents who were pearl-clutchers wouldn't let me go because of kink. OH WAIT. THEY THOUGHT GAY PRIDE IS KINK. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THESE PEOPLE WORK. THERE ARE KID FRIENDLY PRIDE EVENTS BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES A SAFE SPACE TO BE THEMSELVES. KINK MUST STAY AT PRIDE FOR THE SAME REASON.

Conflicting needs are a thing. I get it. Some children aren't ready for kink and it just makes some people genuinely uncomfortable. That's valid. But that's why, again, there's events for those people that don't have kink. And before you say "what about asexuals" I'm asexual. We are not a club for you to wield against kinksters, just like lesbians aren't a club to wield against trans people. Kink is at pride because kinksters founded pride. Pride is first and foremost a protest, and its about being yourself even when it's not deemed "politically acceptable." I've said it once I'll say it a thousand times. Legality is not morality. Abortion is considered illegal currently, are you gonna say that's immoral because it's illegal? I don't currently have children and I don't know if I will, but if I do, I would rather they (my children) spend 5 hours with kinksters (you know, the people who value CONSENT VERY HIGHLY) than 5 minutes with a bigot. Hell, I'M a kinkster. And I'd rather see someone getting eaten out at pride than have a single right taken away from anyone in the community. Because make no mistake. They want to take away our rights very badly. We can't simply lay down and take it. We need to fight for our rights. This was really long but I've spent my entire life making myself more palatable to people who hate me, like hell I'm going to do it at motherfucking. Goddamn. Pride.

It's not just that kink belongs at pride; Kink IS pride. They are inextricably linked. You cannot fully have one without the other, because like it or not, being queer IS a kink to conservative harpies.

Kink-free pride events are already a thing. Stop trying to extract kink from pride as a whole, because when you do that, you give legitimacy to anti-queer assholes and corporate sanitation, which erodes all of our rights, and you deny us our history.

Kinksters have DIED for you, and as thanks, you've tried to sweep them under the rug because you're just as ashamed of them as conservatives are of you. It's pathetic and it's shameful. Stop appealing to people who hate you by cutting off support from the people who would gladly give it to you if you asked.

Like...I don't understand it. I don't understand why some queer people feel such a need to throw their own community under the bus in order to try and appease people who are going to hate them no matter what they do.

How are you supposed to explain to people that to our enemies, a chaste peck on the lips between two girls is just as kinky as a pup play piss anal orgy with 15 people!? Some of them just try to appeal to us at first because scattering and dividing us makes us easier to destroy!

CONSERVATIVES CALLED YOU ALL PEDOPHILES, AND INSTEAD OF RIGHTFULLY TELLING THEM WHERE THEY CAN SHOVE IT, YOU CALLED OTHER QUEER PEOPLE PEDOPHILES THAT ARE RUINING YOUR IMAGE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO HATE YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???

People be like "kinky trans women are the backbone of society!!!" And then complain about people who are into bondage, pet play, latex, leather, being whipped, being stepped on, cnc, hypnosis, musk, exhibitionism, voyeurism, somno, musk, etc.

It’s fine if you want to keep your fics locked, this person’s acting like the scraping is all done and there’s nothing to do but more people will use ai to scrape and locking is to stop the people who are trying to do the laziest route of taking all freely available fics. Locking puts a minor block in their way that some people won’t want to do work to go over

I know, but honestly, I would rather my fics be available to people who aren't logged in.

If someone really wants to scrape my fics, they're going to do it, but someone with far more innocent motives is much more easily deterred by that, and I would rather more people read my fics earnestly even if the chance of ai scraping is a bit higher.

I hate this fake ai bullshit with everything in me, but locking my fics was still something I did extremely reluctantly. If it only barely helps, then fuck it. I don't want that barrier for guests.

I just looked through all of your matpat hate posts (good stuff) and I wanted to bring up something I haven't seen anyone talk about. after the game Inscryption came out a youtuber called Flemmonade released a series of very good videos about its lore and secrets. shortly after this, matpat released his own video about Inscryption that was very similar to Flemmonade's if you took those and compressed them down into a matpat-length video. it had the same clues and secrets, basically the same topics beat-for-beat, and most incriminating, the exact same story almost identically worded about his struggle looking for a clue before finally finding it hidden in the normal maps of a specific texture file. this whole thing really upsets me because obviously the original videos had a smaller audience in addition to being quite a bit longer and thus less palatable, but they had so much work put into them and had so much personality. it sucked to see

Avatar

The idea that MatPat's only good videos are stolen actually makes so much sense, and I hate how that doesn't surprise me at all or horrify me much because I've just come to expect shit on a certain level from him.

He needs to get videos out as fast as possible, so other than bullshitting his way through forced theories that lie as much as they tell the truth, the best way to make videos fast is to just steal them from others. That's famously how Buzzfeed was able to pump out videos as fast as they did, even though they really didn't have to with how many people were working there.

That's unfortunately the nature of YouTube: Quantity over Quality. If you spend more time making a good video, it just gets buried under everything else. If you want to beat the system, you have to throw as much shit at the wall as fast as possible in hopes that something will stick.

It sucks, and unfortunately, there isn't really anything we can do about it. Something has to change, and I don't think it will.

Anonymous asked:

I hate it when people justify abuse by saying that they were abused and they turned out just fine. No, you didn't. You normalized abuse to the point where you think certain people deserve to be abused for even minor transgressions.

I'm not sure what prompted this ask, but it's fortuitous that I got it after a somewhat recent conversation with my dad where he does exactly that; Justify abuse by saying he turned out fine.

My dad was scolded relentlessly by his dad, threatening him to make him afraid of homelessness so he would be pressured to succeed, and because it worked for him, he did the same to his own kids. My dad even once said to my mom that if he had beaten us like his dad did to him, we wouldn't have dropped out of school, even though he himself dropped out of both high school AND college after a childhood of beatings.

I took his scoldings the hardest, not just because I'm more sensitive than my siblings, but because as the oldest, I was the guinea pig child. I think most oldest kids can relate to their parents being more strict with them than with their younger siblings, which is extremely unfair. If I ever have kids, I'm just going to be lenient from the start using the gentle parenting technique. I bet I would be a hell of a lot more adjusted and less traumatized if I was parented that way, instead of somehow being both smothered and neglected at the same time.

I would also like to point out that one time, my dad was hit so hard by his dad that the wooden board he used literally broke into splinters, and my dad still thinks "spanking" your kids makes them more well-behaved, despite the fact that he has seen so much clear evidence to the contrary in his abusive friend's children, who are by far the most belligerent disobedient kids I've ever fucking met in my life. They are annoying, loud troublemakers who are only calm when they're watching TV, and I wish with all my heart that I had the power to save them.

The only reason I wasn't beaten as a child was because my mom (who was also abused as a child btw) kept telling him that it "didn't feel right". I was 4 and my brother was 2 that one time my dad tried to spank us, and our mom intervened for us. She also ended up being abused by my dad, though she doesn't really see it as abuse, and it certainly wasn't as bad as what my dad did to me and my siblings.

Honestly, shout-out to my mom! She's my hero at this point! I don't know where I'd be without her constant love and support! She's not on tumblr, but you know. Love you, Mom! 👏💕💕

My dad is also known for such quirky nuggets of wisdom as, "I have never hit you, nor have I sexually abused you kids!" (which is true, but come on, that is not a fucking brag, and you don't have to physically touch your victim for it to count as abuse) "I have never yelled at you!" (false, he used to yell at me every day) "I give you food, clothing, and a roof over your head!" (well duh, if you didn't you'd be in jail) "I moved out of my parents house when I was 17!" (yeah in fucking 1988!!! I don't know if you noticed but we've been in a housing crisis since I was 9 fucking years old!!!) "I don't need antidepressants, so why do you!?" (because I have depression, idiot. Do you know what an antibiotic does?) and who could forget my personal favorite, "I'm kicking you out of this house the moment you turn 18, so you'd better have a plan by then!" (he denies ever saying this now, so either he seriously blocked the memory or he's gaslighting me. Either way, he can't apologize, which is all the information I need.)

I never met my dad's dad, because he died of cancer 4 years before I was born, but of course, from what I've heard from relatives as well as my grandma on that side, I would have seriously hated him. He abused my father, and instead of recognizing the damage in himself, he perpetuated the cycle. Funny how people don't realize that rationalizing an event to try and make it seem more acceptable is actually a Hallmark of being an abuse survivor. It's the reason why people who were abused are more likely to become abusers themselves.

This is what happens when abuse is normalized.

This is not okay.

Everyone- eat the rich! everyone on the Titan was a self entitled rich person (except that poor kid rip)! They shouldn’t have exploited the victims of the Titanic!

News sources everywhere-

Why do I keep seeing James Cameron all over my news (I know these are both Insider, but I have been seeing James Cameron in the news for days from several different outlets, I’m just lazy) Listen, I know he did the time and made the movie but how is he any different? Rich white guy? Profited off of the exploitation of the tragedy of the Titanic? Self entitled expert? Bleh I’m over seeing his crusty wannabe Saruman face all over my phone. Go back to the Avatar movies and think about what you’ve done.

Image descriptions- two news articles, one titled “James Cameron estimates he’s spent more time with the Titanic than the ship’s actual captain after 33 voyages to the wreckage” and “The Titan sub was likely trying to surface and the passengers probably knew the hull was starting to crack before it imploded, James Cameron says.”

A news article titled James Cameron on Titanic Submarine Loss: “Struck by the Similarity of the Titanic Disaster Itself” and a lovely hands rubbing meme with the text “James Cameron eyeballing the opportunity he never thought would come: Titanic 2”

...I'm writing this under the assumption that you don't know any better, because hoo boy is this a bad take

James Cameron legitimately numbers among the small handful of people most qualified to talk about the Titan disaster. The reason why is because being a filmmaker is almost a side project compared to his very real contributions to submersible design, oceanography, and undersea exploration. Cameron has spent decades in the field of undersea science and submarine engineering. He co-designed a submersible called Deepsea Challenger which he personally took to the Challenger Deep, the lowest point of the Marianas Trench and the lowest point on Earth, alone; the first and to date only person to have ever done so solo. His hyperfixation is not the Titanic, it's submersible engineering and undersea exploration in general. Here's him being presented the Nierenberg Prize (for contributions to oceanography) in 2013:

Note that in the above interview he literally says that he made Titanic essentially just to get the funding to go to the wreck site (and to have the funding to continue to do so decades onward). He's made 33 dives to the wreck of the Titanic.

The reason why he appears in the news is not because he wants to talk about the disaster. It's got little to nothing to do with him having made Titanic (though that is tangentially related). It's because everyone knows that he is an actual, legitimate expert on the issue of submersible engineering (as well as both diving and diving to the Titanic wreck in particular), and so they bombarded him with interview requests and requests for comment. He specifically did not respond to any such requests until after the deaths of the passengers had been confirmed, because he knew that the sub had imploded and they were all dead, and he didn't want to be insensitive and drown everyone's hopes by telling everyone that the search and rescue was pointless. Here's him on ABC News next to his friend and associate Dr. Bob Ballad, the man who discovered the wreck of the Titanic, who is probably the only other person more qualified than Cameron to talk about the recent disaster:

TL;DR: James Cameron is not being interviewed because "he made Titanic"; he's being interviewed because he's a well-known and verifiable submersible engineering and undersea expert.

Some News Person: "Hey guys!!! These billionaires built their own submarine and then died trying to get down to see the Titanic wreckage due to the extreme water pressure down there!!! Isn't that wild???"

James Cameron, who has survived 3,300% more trips to the Titanic wreckage than those billionaires and has been down to the lowest point on earth all alone where the water pressure is so high it's like being crushed by a hydraulic press on all sides: "Yeah. Wild."
