#I’m talking about fictional men

[beans-g-al-ore]

I think it’s so funny and cute when men are sad! Brings out a little chuckle from me! A teehee if you will! Twirling my hair even

[lesbianfakir]

Is there like a thing. For being a lesbian but being attracted to fictional men. Certain fictional men are so lovely in theory and they have all the qualities id be attracted to in a partner but then thinking about dating a real man? Yuck yuck yuck no thank you. Perhaps I need to change my url to repressedbisexualfakir

Re: my “I crave more unpleasant, weird, gross women in fiction” post—

Dear the person who tagged it with something like, “justice will not be served on earth until we have female Beavis and Butthead,” I wish I could kiss you on the mouth

Dear everyone responding with some variation of, “what about both [conventionally hot women AND weird women]?? 😌” or “what about one of both kinds of women and they’re girlfriends?? 😍” I wish I could banish you to the shadow realm

Sometimes I dream about being in a polyamorous relationship, but then I remember I can’t even get one bitch to like me. Where the hell would I find 2 of them??

conservative X-men fans will see a franchise about an oppressed group of people who fight for their civil rights and freedom in a world that sees them as freaks and monsters and imagine themselves being on the mutants’ side but then can’t even handle masculine cis women in sports or a man with painted nails or cisgender teens on puberty blockers for health issues.

conservative X-men fans will see that oppressed group of freaks and monsters constantly facing the threat of an apocalyptic future specifically caused by hate mongers in powerful positions who very blatantly will and do destroy the same humanity they claim to be protecting if it means destroying Those Freaks and think “wow cool robot.”

conservative X-men fans will agree with the villain who was based on Malcom X and specifically came to hold his beliefs through surviving the Holocaust and claim that he can’t even be considered a villain anymore because his ideology makes sense and is consistently proven right by the humans’ unwavering intolerance, but go into hysterics the minute a real life minority holds any sort of hatred or resentment toward their oppressor.

conservatives in general will always pretend that the media they consume doesn’t have any deeper meaning or purpose other than being entertainment slop because they almost always retreat into media for some type of “comfort” or escape from having to acknowledge reality and their own bigotry. they want the freedom to be bigots without any pushback or consequences so they surround themselves in an echo chamber of fictional characters and universes who can’t argue with them or tell them they’re wrong and bad.

conservatives have to constantly and deliberately turn their brains off to consume a specific piece of media because they know that they would be the villain in it if they gave it an ounce of deeper thought and that’s exactly why they push back so hard against anything that drags them out of their comfy echo chamber, anything that threatens their blissful ignorance.

they thrive on the idea that their media isn’t “that deep” or based in/affected by reality; that there’s no such thing as representation or allegories or coding in media (and alternatively, that representation doesn’t matter or is just propahanda). they thrive on willful ignorance and they want to convince everyone else to be just as ignorant and the death of media literacy is exactly how they’ll achieve it

It’s kinda weird how I think these are doodles when I’ve already gone through the sketching, inking, and coloring process. Anyways,

IT’S ART DUMP TIME!!!

I usually start with the full drawing but this piece is really messy, so I’m starting with the close-ups! (I MISS MY MUTUALS) @motherarts @stinging-metal

[I really would have sent you guys these through discord first but all of my files are too powerful! I think it’s the paper (PAPER??? PAPER STARZ?????) texture or maybe I just gotta upgrade to nitro or smthn :,V]

I have several choice words to give to Sebastion but I’ll rant about him later in the tags lmao

That feeling of sharp bitterness before acceptance and appreciation UnU

Full image under the cut!

[lifelessnesss]

This “liking fictional men” thing has gone too far, I mean I don’t think I’m supposed to read Crime and Punishment and think Raskolnikov is hot

[huntquinlan]

wait hold on this had me dying laughing it was the worst take i’ve seen on here so far. not properly tagged of course so it wasn’t blocked 🙄

it went something like: people who ship elucien support arranged marriages and the “nice guy” mentality IRL and thus are violating girl code or whatever😭😭😭

[verdantdaises]

Important question, do you write them as dogs or as people?

Good question!!! I deliberately leave it ambiguous bc I don’t really care what people picture in their heads like idc truly ahaha

Either way they have some fur and are dog men or are humans and have skin it doesn’t matter to me, I do mention skin a bit but people can interpret it however they want :))

[lesbiansanemi]

Idk there’s also something to be said for the absolute distaste and hatred of lesbian headcanons in general in fandom spaces. Like never mind that these ppl can’t fathom how a woman would ever exist without being into men, they can’t even not get mad when someone says they think a fictional one doesn’t like men. Like you have such a hatred of lesbians you can’t handle someone else saying they think a fictional woman doesn’t fuck men. Like holy fuck

[scythemichaelfaraday]

Mr. Shusterman… sir… I know you did NOT just start Gleanings off with some early Faraday and Curie content. Ugh what a final ride this fucking book is gonna be.

[lieutenant-amuel]

Why is it so hard for people to believe that boys/men can be affectionate with each other without being a couple 😭

[libidinous-weeb]

i actually think taking a fictional man and making him bisexual is not only brave but also incredibly hot.

if you’ve ever made your blorbo bisexual you’re going straight to heaven god actually told me this directly

whenever someone calls cyno general mahamatra i gain 50 years in my lifespan

Baby girls, I made a playlist for my fellow OFMD fans. Some song picks I feel like Ed would cry his heart out to. Let’s pray that this hiatus is soon over because it’s been a hot minute since I’ve actually set down and made a character themed playlist.

I think I might be losing my mind.

Let’s just hope Good Omens season 2 revives the brain cells I’m currently losing.

Altough let’s be real - it’ll probably only make me worse.

[bookish-bee]

Thank you @figuringthengsout for tagging me <3333

rules: list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard - they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you

Soo tired it’s very late so I’ll be brief. In order I read them, not in order of importance to me

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - every mother and her daughter should read. My first profound read.

Crime and Punishment - the triumph of my fourteenth year. The Quest for the Perfect Translation pt.1 (it’s Nicolas Slater’s version. You’re welcome)

Ordinary People - found a similar person in Conrad. And cried. A lot.

The Plague - hahaha covid. Incredible. Began my love of Camus and then I got into philosophy and then died a little bit

All Quiet on the Western Front - the most influential a book has been on my life. Started the WWI interest and got me into the trench poets and started my research paper and so much more

The metamorphosis - learned so much about disability and what my family is. Read it so many times.

Inferno - got me through a rough spot. The Quest for the Perfect Translation pt.2 (I SWEAR BY Dorothy L Sayers. She’s incredible)

Patrick Modiano Missing Person - I can’t even talk about this one except to say that it changed me and that I want to write like him

Eichmann in Jerusalem - began my love of nonfiction and journalism and my obsession with the guardian and the Atlantic and the New Yorker, etc and now I spend so much money on newspapers and magazines I blame Arendt and her terrific reporting.

I didn’t include any poetry plays or short fiction because that would be cheating. Would require a whole other list for those.

And, note, these are the books that impacted me profoundly. Not exactly pleasureful books I got into, how it works for me in fandom. That would, again, be another list. (Aftg, sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie)
