it's so disappointing when almost all handsome jack fanart is inaccurate :(( like, people just blatantly ignoring very Important character design details. It happens in fics too, where people will simply ignore basic details about his design.

Specifically, here, im referencing 1. him being brown and 2. him being disfigured and disabled.

If you actually look at his models, you can very much tell he's Not White and barely anyone draws him with his real skin tone!!! everyday i see so many cool pieces of fan merch or fanart and then im like 'oh nope he's a different color nevermind'

and then on top of making him paper white they'll draw him with this small shaky line across his face when, in canon, he was disfigured so heavily he needed to get a prosthetic face. that and HE'S HALF BLIND!!! HE LOST AN EYE!! IT WAS SET ON FIRE????

it's gross seeing people completely ignore his accurate injuries to try and make him the stereotypical Sexy Man with Clear White Skin

i know that most people probably dont know that jack is half blind but if you look at his unmasked face, he very clearly is! whether his mask has a cover up eye, or he's wearing a glass eye, or its cybernetics is never explained but when he takes his mask off his left eye is gone/scarred over! and the vault scar has severely carved into his face!!! you can SEE how deep it digs in!! barely anyone draws him like that :((

his mask isnt just covering some dainty little scrape, it's a prosthetic that aids his disability! that AND HE'S FUCKING BROWN.

EDIT: AND HE HAS GRAY HAIR!!! THAT BITCH IS AGING!!!! SHOW IT YOU COWARDS!!!!

i think one of the reasons why i'm so touched by jess is that, while it's easy to read her as naive about how homophobic the world is, her open queerness and butchness is clearly a conscious choice.

sure, according to kelly's backstory, they grew up relatively (for the time period) privileged wrt their queerness, and there's her obvious bewildered distress at the fact that, when she arrives in the US, people actually get to force her to act like something she's not

but she's also clearly not stupid! she clearly knows how unsafe it is to be obviously queer. when they buy boxers, they know to hold on to the excuse that they are for their brothers. she doesn't out carson and greta to anyone, not even to lupe, who's also queer, with whom she's clearly very close, and with whom she clearly spends a lot of time talking about being queer and other queer women - she understands and respects the reasons behind their choice to keep it all absolutely secret. when jo is arrested and traded out, jess (and lupe) look upset in a way that very clearly reads as "this could have been us, if we'd been there is would have been us (bc they, like jo, don't have the femme plausible deniability and would easily be picked out of the crowd by the cops), maybe it should have been been us because without us jo wouldn't have known about the bar". she knows, intimately, which risks she faces.

and yet they present the way they do. maybe it is bc she grew up in moose jaw, canada, but more than any of the others she has internalised that it's not right that the world is like this. that doesn't mean they pretend the world isn't like it is, but they do act on the fact that they think it shouldn't be. she has a modicum of self-preservation, so she takes basic safety precautions, but she clearly very strongly feels that if the world has a problem with her, that's their problem to change, not hers. that solidness of belief informs so much about jess as a character, and it means so much to me. it's not naivety, it's on purpose.

I was at a butch/queer/wlw club night today and it's as if my third eye has opened -- is this what clubbing is like for you cishet people? Like not just dancing but finding people to dance with and court and snog 😳 no bloody wonder yall have so much fun

[tw0starz]

hi im gonna say it right fucking now

you are not an ally if you're ignoring and speaking over queer voices trying to correct and help you know the right information.

ive been quiet for a while but a former mutual i know irl has been honestly the worst to me. i am tired of normies that are "allies", attacking queer alt people.

this person also insanely belittled my issues on a continuous, every day basis. i am exhausted.

she has also talked down and negatively about people who have committed suicide after devastating natural disasters. not listening to me telling her how wrong she was and trying to explain to her.

stubbornness is not an excuse. shut the fuck up sometimes and just listen for once.

i really liked the barbie movie but i don’t like the way some corners of the internet have been taking it honestly. like theres this really weird resurgence of gender essentialism i’m seeing reinforcing pink and dolls and glitter and such as something only for girls and women and as a collector who’s trans and very much not a girl it’s uncomfortable seeing this happening like,, stereotypically “girly” things have been stigmatized for so fucking long and now that somebody’s finally addressing it it’s still only considered acceptable in the mainstream if it’s done by like specifically cis women??

[saintlesbian]

hm. having a mini gender crisis in the middle of my shift again

[golvio]

Every once in a while I remember the “hand clasp” shots in “Rose’s Scabbard,” both the setup with Pearl holding her own hand as she reminisces to herself, them the payoff when she clasps hands with the ghost-hologram of Rose, and I go absolutely feral.

[orcelito]

So weird being nonbinary / genderfluid bc I think about my attraction to men & it's in a gay way. Then I think about my attraction to women & it's in a gay way. I'm like multi-track drifting at this point. And I am both bisexual and gay. Hope this helps.
