U.S. 1500-meter runner Nikki Hiltz, who is nonbinary, will be running for their community in the Olympics, and very much against the grain when one considers the retrograde approach that the transphobic World Athletics, the global governing body for track and field, has taken when it comes to trans participation. In March 2023, it issued new guidelines that, in essence, banned transgender women athletes from participating in World Athletics events.

Chemme: a combined Butch-Femme identity.

[PT: Chemme: a combined Butch-Femme identity. /.End PT]

When referring to gender, Chemmegender may be used.

Etymology

From English, "Ch" from "Butch" + "-emme" from "Femme". Coined by Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2024.

Elaboration

Chemme describes any individual who is both Butch and Femme. Chemme is similar to Butchfemme, but specifies Chemme as being distinct from Futch. In this context, Futch is conceptualized as a being between Butch and Femme. Whereas Chemme is a term to describe a coupled Butch-Femme experience. This experience can be (in)distinct, simultaneous, fluid, fluctuating, (un)equal, partial, etc.

Like Butch, Femme, Futch, etc., Chemme can be a queer subcultural identity or a gender identity specifically. When specifying a Chemme gender identity, Chemmegender can be used. Chemmegender describes an individual with a Butchgender-Femmegender bigender.

Flag

The Chemme flag was created using two common Butch and Femme flags, created by tumblr user Butchspace and tumblr user Noodle, respectively with slight color adjustment. The topmost three stripes are taken from the aforementioned Butch flag. The middle stripe is white, like it is in both the Butch and Femme flags. The bottom three stripes are taken from the Femme flag. From top to bottom, the Chemme flag is burnt orange, orange, coral, white, lilac, light purple and dark purple. The stripes have the following meanings:

The burnt orange, orange and coral stripes represent Butch identity.

The white stripe represents Multigender experience.

The lilac, light purple and dark purple stripes represent Femme identity.

BRO I WISH ME AND MY FRIEND WERE IRL FRIENDS :C

HE’S SO FREAKING COOOLLWJDIDND

the world separated us bc it would not have survived otherwise

[sourscrap]

just wanted to draw my agent ocs bc i love them very much.

Some info below the cut

August/Auggie considers Maisie to be her sister, they come from the same hometown. After Splatoon 2’s story mode, Maisie lived with Auggie for a bit to make sure she wasn’t still hijacked. She’s got a kind heart and a rough exterior, and she’s incredibly cautious around new people, letting other agents speak for her until she’s sure enough to talk to them. She has a limping gait due to past injury but she’s still very physically strong.

Quin took a long time to adjust to Inkopolis after octo expansion and over the course of that she got quite comfortable around Maisie to the point that when she moved back home, Quin followed her. So now they’re roommates!! Yay!!

Rika got fuzzified after running into the fuzzy ooze in Alterna one too many times (she never learns), and August is perpetually on babysitting duty. Rika will chase after any object thrown in her line of sight and Aug uses this tactic to get a moment of peace by throwing smallfry as far as she can to distract the other agent.

Maisie is essentially treated like August’s little sister and she acts the part. Likes sending her annoying texts (or rather, sending them to Agents 1 and 2 and telling them to pass the message onto August who doesn’t have a phone.) She’s very loud and extroverted, the perfect balance to Quin’s introvert.

@quinthebard is always spoiling me with art. So here is a surprise sketch for you of your lovely bard, Quin! I love him!

[firadessa]

Please acknowledge Bleakwatch Chronicles, Tinker Bell and the Lost City. I understand that BW chronicles may not have as much fans and are turned off by the art style. Also the author never posted (Zack Loran Clark) much promo for the book unlike Allison, nor mentioned anything about DF on his IG page. It is intended for a younger audience. However, I am much more excited for this book as it pertains to the movie universe. So please, just clap if you believe if you will.

As this is the first book to come out since 2017 that is labeled as "Disney Fairies" and the second spinoff- like this is important. You don't have to buy the book or give it the free promotion, but acknowledge the existence of it at least. WoS is not labeled as DF, if it matters.

Here are some of the reasons why I am more excited for Bleakwatch Chronicles than I am for Wings of Starlight by Allison Saft (Clarion x Milori YA Novel):

It's a post canon story implied to take reference to the cancelled Tinker Academy movie where TB goes to study at the Tinker Academy on the mainland. The art seems like they took references especially when directly compared to the concept art. WoS is a backstory.

It releases first, BWC releases in November 2024 and WoS releases in Feb.

It seems like more of original concept to me, literally because of the new concepts like the Flutterpunks and the implied secret cities of the Bleakwatch and Clockwork Capital.

New characters like Quin and Ozwald will be joining TB on this journey.

It expands on a old concept, and tweaks it in a way that makes more sense. IMO, an idea like a Tinker Academy seems to hold less weight because before the events of Tinker Bell fairies couldn't go to the mainland to spread nature, and it's implied they always stay. It is also implied in GFR that Tinker fairies don't typically go to the mainland even if TB's inventions help them in the intensive summer season (the song implies that's why she's there- it's implied in the first movie she goes there whenever she has a job) Vidia is dismayed by this and says "this is why Tinker fairies don't go to the mainland" whilst TB is checking out the car. In a deleted storyboard for Tinker Academy it is implied that it is a prestigious academy that FM gets into before the events of Tinker Bell, yet to me the idea of underground London tinkers makes more sense to me than the academy. Think about it, it's implied that TB and FM are some of the most brilliant Tinkers in pixie hollow and yet the Tinker population is small. (only Clank and Bobble greet her and we see no one in green outfits) Why do you think that is? I personally like the idea of rogue Tinkers who would scavenge on the mainland for parts and self-exile themselves from Pixie Hollow. It explains why FM calls the lost things junk, if the difference in mindset between the mainland tinkers and the pixie hollow tinkers was that the mainland Tinkers are considered "scraps" (get it) while the PH tinkers are considered more put together and community driven. It makes sense that TB being a brilliant Tinker that outshines even Vidia gets such an audience if brilliant Tinkers do not normally last in PH because they are seen as too curious and ambitious, opting to start their own community of outcast Tinkers in the mainland. Vidia's talent switch in The Pirate Fairy also implies that Tinkers have the gift of thought, and literally think differently (regardless of personality) then their non-tinker peers because it's their talent. There is much potential for this storyline as it adds more nuance to the Tinker Bell movie and the dynamic between the nature and non nature talents, something I think it would benefit from. It makes a lot of sense if the edgier steampunk designs came from a secret Tinker counterculture and not a secret academy imo.

The implication of this book suggest revitalizing the Disney Fairies franchise, possibly not just as a "brand". Not sure what that could mean but it's interesting

IMO, Wings of Starlight has more of a "booktok" vibe I'm getting from it. I'm not just saying that because it's YA, but given the (beautiful) cover design it feels more targeted for what Disney thinks grown fans of Disney Fairies might like based on whatever market research was done (and you know it was). WoS has been receiving better marketing and there are people out here that don't even know two books exist. I'm not saying the book looks lazy, slapped together, or unoriginal- or it will just be corporate and bland, I mean I'm a Disney Fairies fan I don't believe that everything is corporate greed lol and like to see creativity in the "unexpected". But I hope that future Disney Fairies books won't just be going for what is "trendy" to reel people in and instead invest in creative storytelling *in general*, in other words I hope they keep concepts and genres broad and inclusive enough so we have the potential for more creative stories. Not just expanded stories on specific characters and stories like the Twisted Tales series, or sticking to specific genres for this specific niche audience in a way that feels too specific. I feel like there has to be some sort of balance struck, or DF may be a little stuck for a while and may still have "missed potential".

On expanded stories, like I said, Disney has done a lot of that and there is an audience for that. However, I prefer the idea of post canon more than a backstory or expansion. From what I know, we know some details of the Milarion backstory and it will be adding more layers and expanding on the dynamics of the existing characters, where the new book seems to be more lore driven in focus.

I don't like Secret of the Wings that much in terms of lore as a lore fanatic. I feel like this book could also retcon other things when possibly trying to explain things that make sense in SOTW. If BWC is good, I can imagine myself thinking about it more after it releases but I can just imagine myself thinking more of how I felt and my emotional reaction after WoS with fading interest afterward, it just sort of feels like the book could resonate with me more y'know? and I got a pretty good gut feeling for that sort of thing.

Underdog bias, just acknowledge it's existence. Do that with the NG graphic novels from 2022, heck the whole Never Girls series. Do that with the whole DF franchise if you are new here somehow. That's it, that's the post.

The mystery. What is the mysterious pocketwatch and who's on the cover?

Copy and pasted plot summary- Tinker Bell loves nothing more than solving a problem. For her, red buttons demand to be pushed, treasure maps need to be followed, and lost things ought to be found. So when a strange fairy crash lands in Pixie Hollow and leaves Tinker Bell two clues to find a mysterious necklace on the Mainland, she really doesn’t have a choice but to help. However, her journey takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a hidden city of fairies living below the streets of London.

In this city called Bleakwatch, she’ll meet the Flutterpunks, the most infamous band of trinket scavengers around. Helping her may just give them their biggest score yet. But when the Flutterpunks’ plan goes haywire, they’ll be forced to choose between a big payday or saving their new friend.

When their adventure takes them inside the glittering Clockwork Capital, Tinker Bell and the Flutterpunks will uncover a villainous secret that threatens all the fairies in Bleakwatch. It turns out there’s more at stake than just finding a missing necklace, and it’ll be up to Tinker Bell to set things right. Luckily, that’s what tinker fairies do best!

Happy birthday to @avocado-writing!!

We have been moots for a lil while and sometimes I stalk your page for your tav content (your ART especially. the way you draw them is so so lovely) and I simply couldn't resist the oppurunity to draw something silly with tav and then all the OTHER tavs got involved and it is such a mess. I can't help but picture this adventuring party through baldur's gate now. Three bards, a druid, and a barbarian walk into a mindflayer colony?? Chaos darling chaos

BG tavs from right to left are @thedomesticanthropologist's gorgeous sivvus, my little idiot hvinidyr, @karaokebearwithal's domino and @quinthebard's quin! (I feel a little bad tagging quin in this even though he's lacking all his identifying features. maybe I will draw him again later to make up for it ?) I promise he is definitely wearing clown makeup though. There's no way tav could wrangle the two grumps into it, but I admire them for trying

Where did tav find a light-up dresser in the middle of the forest? I am.. not the right person to ask

Teratid: a gender identity related to the rejection and subversion of (prevailing) beauty standards.

[PT: Teratid: a gender identity related to the rejection and subversion of (prevailing) beauty standards. ./. End PT]

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. End PT]

From English, "Terat-", meaning "Monstrous" + "-id", a Latin suffix meaning "pertaining to" in the concept of taxonomy. Coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon), June 2024.

The etymology of the term is a reference to how a lack of conformity to beauty standards is deeply punished, portrayed as evil, frightening and inhuman. It seeks to reclaim the idea that the subversion of beauty as "monstrous".

Teratid is a noun (Ex: "I am a Teratid"). The adjective form of is "teratine" (Ex: "My gender is teratine").

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. End PT]

Teratid is an atrinary, outherine gender identity. Additionally, it is a ringender, genoingender, ketuine and a type of genderfuckery (subversive in nature). Some may also experience it as an autonomous gender, reclingender and/or quingender. Teratid can also be a diastine gender identity.

Teratid is a broad label that encompasses the infinitely vast expressions that undermine societal beauty standards. Though Teratid experience is varied, all are unified by a rejection of common notions of beauty, a lack of conformance to the prescriptions of societal beauty standards and an active spirit of "fuckery" involved in the disruption and undermining of the oppressive standards contained within "beauty" as it is commonly known. It can involve the reclamation of monstrosity associated with the transgression of beauty standards, but it doesn't have to.

Beauty standards vary across time, society and culture. If the rejection and subversion of prevailing beauty standards in one's time period, society and culture is a gendered expression, it can be described as "Tertid".

With this in mind, there are many, many ways a Teratid individual go about subverting standards of beauty. Some examples include, but are not limited to:

embracing, celebrating and incorporating one's own physical, bodily traits that are not validated by prevailing beauty standards into their expression of their gender, whatever those may be.

embracing, celebrating and incorporating the concept of beauty within another culture that is accessible to the individual into their expression of their gender which conflicts with prevailing beauty standards in the society in which they live.

embracing, celebrating and incorporating the concept of beauty within a subculture in which the individuals participates into their expression of their gender which conflicts with prevailing standards of beauty in the society in which they live.

expressions of gender non-conformity and genderfuckery carried out with the intention of subverting beauty standards.

rejecting prescribed beauty standards, instead embracing their own sense of beauty and what it entails.

deliberate aesthetic homeliness, dreadfulness, obscenity, eeriness, wickedness, repulsiveness and grotesqueness as a gendered expression.

Simply put, Teratid:

is an atrinary, outherine/disatine gender identity.

is a rejection of societal beauty standards.

is a subversion of societal beauty standards.

involves acceptance, joy and comfort of traits identified within oneself that are not consider "beautiful" by society.

may or may not reclaim the ideas of monstrosity associated with things not designated "beautiful" by society.

may or may not intersect with and/or be rooted in one's queerness, disability, fatness, sex, race, culture, subculture, spirituality, etc.

may or may not involve a liberated, self-defined sense of beauty.

may or may not involve aesthetics that conjure thoughts and feelings of dread, fear, disgust, shock, indignation, discomfort, hideousness, tackiness, ostentation, crudeness, offensiveness, ugliness, etc., as well as expressions that are perceived as "evil" or are associated with "evil".

Pride Flag

[PT: Pride Flag ./. End PT]

The pride flag was colored-picked from a picture of a common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) [PT: (Taraxacum officinale) ./. End PT], all from different portions of the plant. The olive green stripe was taken from it's foliage, the yellow stripe taken from the flower petals, the white stripe from the seed's pappus, the peach stripe from the stem and the brown stripe from the exterior of it's seeds.

A dandelion was chosen to represent this identity due to how dandelion is considered a "weed", even though it is a useful and charming flower. To a lawn keeper or florist, a weed is unwanted, unsightly and "bad". It does not conform to the standards of a "beautiful" flower.

In this case, the humble dandelion is considered undesirable due to the concept of a pristine, short grass lawn and the concept of floral design, despite it's various culinary uses, use in herbal remedies, role in pollination and their quaint appeal. Even though it not being a flower that is considered "beautiful" and instead, a "weed", the dandelion is inherently valuable not just in it's utility, but it's mere existence, much like an individual who does not conform to prevailing standards of beauty has inherent value by simply existing.
