It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Wow... 5 years...

[homo-taylorsversion]

I was talking to my coworkers and they mentioned they like me because I was "unintentionally funny" (which I think I get? Don't want to think too much in this ) and have "nice sarcasm" (that part. I don't.)

Like... How?! Can someone please explain to me how that's even possible?! or what they meant?! Like, is it the tone I use? What I say? Facial expressions? Like...?

They said it day's ago and I'm still trying to figure it out

(can someone tell the dog who's been barking since 1 AM to please be quiet. I want to sleep...)

After 4 years of fighting doctors, moving, family, america, and health insurance, I'm finally on testosterone and... it's bittersweet to me...

Like, I'm so excited, so happy that it's happening! I won't look or sound like an underage child! I'll get facial hair and a deep voice! I'll pass!

But... in that 4 years, so much has happened that... it hurts. I'm finally on something I always wanted... something that at several points in my life, it meant life or death to me.

but now, I can't tell or celebrate with anyone, because nobody in my life understands how much this is to Me. When I first came out, none of those people are in my life anymore... I'm celebrating on my own. I'm growing into my own person, finally, alone...

And now... because of living in America, I could as easily lose it...

I fought and fought, and I won... but at what cost? My Life? I want to celebrate. I want to cry.

I hate hearing about people's "amazing highschool (extra curricular) experience". Like, what experience?!

Literally in highschool, I wasn't allowed to do any of those fun classes. I only got to do art and that was because it was REQUIRED. Don't get me wrong, I loved my art teacher. But seriously?! No choir, no band, no home/cooking class, no theater, no shop class in any kind (just to name the main known ones). No matter how much I begged. I literally had to FIGHT THE SCHOOL AND MY PARENTS TO BE IN ONE FUCKING PLAY! in my senior year.

Why? Because putting me in special needs/extra math classes was apparently more important than letting me enjoy highschool. I fucking HATED school and couldn't stand 95% of my classes. I was jealous of my friends talking "theater this" and "choir that" while I'm over here like: "... I learned fractions again...?"

I dunno... Maybe letting me do classes I would have been excited to do And actually wanted might have improved my overall school EVERYTHING?! I might have actually passed more classes? Cared more? Not wanting to slam my head against the desk everyday?

That was just a SMALL EXAMPLE of my entire school life. I never understood them, and I still don't know why...

Stop. Excluding. Disabled. Kids.

To everyone affected by my stupid fucking country.

Good luck.

if i made a nonbinary Blake Belladonna week (like butch yang week) would anyone participate?

[homo-taylorsversion]

I absolutely love this head canon and I use it too. Though I'm not a POC, I think it's a great representation within that community and fandom./GEN

I don't want to sound bad why do you draw Blake with Dark skin color when she is like the second palest girl In Team RWBY? I just didn't want to be shamed for asking but it keeps nagging at my brain because I don't get why.

I (and several other artists) draw Blake as a POC because her story resonates with a lot of people of color in the community. Also, since the show was written from an American perspective, it’s clear that the writers took inspiration from the African American Civil Rights movement when writing Blake’s story and the Faunus plotline

Character reasons aside, it’s my firm belief that everyone in volume one is white because they literally couldn’t make anyone have colored skin. EVERYONE in volume one is white, but as soon as V2 started, there’s people of color. Personally, I think that if V1 was made with the budget and skills they had for later volumes, that more of the cast would’ve been people of color

Because like… literally every character introduced in volume one is Caucasian. All of them. It’s ridiculous

Also, and this is just a personal thing and honestly pretty insignificant, but it adds visual interest to drawings for not fucking everyone to be pale as hell

Those are my reasons at least

[homo-taylorsversion]

I feel like my body and mind is on autopilot. Like, I know I'm doing things, but it doesn't feel real. Or like I'm not doing it, someone else is. I'm just going through the motions. And when I feel like I'm in control, it's too much, too overwhelming, but not enough.

Fr!

We’re inbetween hyper fixations so we’re kinda bored and sad all the time

If I had a dollar when a queer mecha gauntlet brawler

with a dead mom and a dad who kinda sorta teeny tiny bit forced her into the protector role, but she still absolutely adores her younger sister

(said sister tried unaliving herself at some point)

falls in love with a dark-haired beauty

(the beauty is like a princess among her people)

but then the beauty leaves

and the brawler goes through a depression arc

but after that she reunites with her sister and found family

and then they find each other

and never let go again

...I'd have 2 dollars. Which isn't a lot. I need more.

[homo-taylorsversion]

As a way to cope with the elections, I drew this. I KNOW it's not perfect and there's PLENTY of mistakes. But, like, I drew this to get through my mind of "we're still here! You can't get rid of us!"

Because it's true. Anyway, enjoy.

Okay okay. But I fucking HATE that I don't look like a "basic" 20 year old male. No no, according to literally everyone, especially strangers, I look like a fucking child. Today? An older lady literally told me "you're the youngest looking 20 year old I've ever seen" a few weeks ago it was "your 20? I thought you were like 13?" By a 16 YEAR OLD! Or in highschool, when I joined a play as a SENIOR everyone thought I was a freshman. I'm also aware I have a speech impediment that makes it 10 times worse.

I don't want to be constantly asked my age. I don't want the weird questionable looks. It's starting to make me fucking dysphoric and starting to ruin my excitement for facial hair because what if it really doesn't work? What if when my voice does drop, it's not enough?

And no, I don't want to hear "but you'll appreciate it when you're older." Because no, I won't. I just want to look 20. Not 13. Not 16. 20!

These are legit my favorite two screenshots. I love every expression and pose in them. You can tear RWBY from my cold dead hands.

Just casually remembering how the American education system really failed me growing up. Even with their "attempts" to help me, it only excluded me and honestly made things worse.

Thanks America!
