i think the most fun thing about cosplaying at the convention was that if you wanted to get someones attention it is totally allowed to call them by their cosplay character name

and its just this mutual show of appreciation and recognition of knowing you both enjoy this one thing together

Image description: A cropped frame of Alastor with his head turned all the way around. He is smiling nastily. In Barbie font is the text "Empathy is a disease, bitch! Get well soon!!!! xoxo <3". The wallpaper of the Hazbin Hotel makes up the left and right sides of the "card". End description.

Once again, special shout-out to @nickinellis for the swatch of Hazbin Hotel wallpaper. You can find it here.

I used this Barbie font text generator from Text Studio to, well, generate the Barbie font text.

Inspired by Anguish of the Marrow, in which Angel Dust says "Y'know what I think? I think you gotta get off your high horse and stop talkin' like empathy's a fuckin' mental handicap."

Image description: A collage with a base image of "obsessive compulsive" by Canis-Infernalis. It's a four panel comic that reads "I HAVE TO KEEP DOING IT/I'M TIRED/IT HURTS/BUT I CAN'T STOP". The first panel shows the body of a big canine, the second panel shows its head, the third panel shows a paw tracking blood, and the fourth panel shows a red circle. The text "Had he made a mistake?/Had he been bad?/What did he need to do?/It was okay that he was tired, he would find the energy to do it." has been pasted to come off the sides of the comic. At the bottom of the collage is the text "the conga-line of emotional labor commences anew". The background of the whole collage is the wallpaper of the Hazbin Hotel. End description.

Pasted in text is from Anguish of the Marrow.

Wolf comic is "obsessive compulsive" by Canis-Infernalis. You can see it here.

Special shout-out to @nickinellis for "[stealing] a swatch" of the wallpaper of the Hazbin Hotel. Should you wish to use it too, here's the post.

My OCD is (has been? I've gotten a lot better than it was at its worst, before I realized it was OCD, before I started to dismiss all of the obsessing as obsessing) all internal (the type that gets called "pure O", which is controversial, because some people argue that our compulsions are simply mental, but that doesn't make them not compulsions, so... *shrug*) so I guess that's why I didn't process that this art is about OCD. I simply saw it and immediately thought of Alastor's relationship to emotional labor in "Anguish of the Marrow". I didn't find the title until I reverse image searched it to give credit. I don't mean to erase the creator's relationship to this art as being about OCD.

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.
