#but i've only got space to reblog about 10 posts and that's also a sad

[pumpumdemsugah]

I know frequently the “anti terf” people lie about this straight up but sometimes they don’t. Here’s an example where clearly there are links between “disagree with trans ideology due to feminism” < - > “like anything “transphobic” because edgy” < - > “disagree with trans ideology due to trad/mra racist alt right views”

As fucking typical the right wing n word saying bullshit starts right after https://www.tumblr.com/americanette reblogs it

She doesn’t say it but she does say some mra bullshit about how the real sadness here is men aren’t protecting women as they rightly should 🙄

Then within the next hour here come

https://costcohotdogandsoda.tumblr.com/

(Also with Bible verse in bio)

Saying “average n*gger behavior.”

And https://www.tumblr.com/anew-jackson

Saying ““black men are inherently violent”

radfem 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 radright”

Where op is still off base is the majority of the notes on her post are actually radfems or adjacent and none of them at all lead to right wing blogs picking it up

Plus of course some people just don’t look at who follows them and of course there are right wing assholes who deliberately try to pick off anyone with the slightest disagreement with the main leftist view.

I can’t blog about issues to do with Palestine for example without a bunch of antisemites following me and trying to convince me to be antisemitic about it. That doesn’t prove my views about Palestine are inherently antisemitic — they very much aren’t. Same for how radfems/gc end up being with attracting a lot of right wing actually-transphobic (and sexist and racist and homophobic) attention.

But please people if you are at all connected to blogs like americanette that shit seriously — taking time to disengage our arguments and discussion in all spaces online and off from the right wing will do more for us than the next 10 gc memes you bother to make and post. Don’t lie, you’ve got the time.

This also isn’t like working with your normie right leaning cousin on abortion because she agrees with you about that. You aren’t making connections here you are being made a patsy to keep you alienated from the left and to keep more women on the left from joining us in an actually revolutionary feminist movement. Right wing people online absolutely know the more they get you to openly connect with them the more they can use that to keep young women in particular away from listening to you about feminism

Hypothetical you btw I am sending this to a few different blogs because I bothered writing it and don’t have a rf blog to put it on yet. I’m pretty new. I know this works because it worked to keep me away from learning more about rf for a long time. Not the rumor of racism and FAR right wing connections being ignored or celebrated but seeing the evidence. Hypothetical you btw I am sending this to a few different blogs because I bothered writing it and don’t have a rf blog to put it on yet. I’m pretty new.

Hi there, I've never seen most of these people and you sending this is validating because after I was recommended a post by one of these people ( a generic fuck men type post from Tumblr recommendations tab ) , I thought their blog felt racist lol

It's funny how I went to block all these people and some were already blocked. Anyone male, white and Christian on here is usually a white supremacist.

I can keep my ask anonymous and have a peaceful time on here because I block racist and porn obsessed misogynists whenever the random nonsense comes on my dash, that's the only time I go out of my way to go onto people's blogs and block everyone that replies and likes their posts and blogs they reblog from because I'm not checking otherwise

Someone sent me a message a while ago about white nationalist being on my Black Femicide post and I used that to block a bunch of people so maybe that's how some of them were already blocked by me. I don't really check the notes of my posts so I really appreciated that because they don't care about Black women they want to spread white supremacy

Anyway thanks 👍🏾

I'm back!!

I lost access to this blog last November, but today I finally got it back & I'm so happy! I'd been logged into this account on one specific laptop for pretty much the entire 10 years I've had it. Of course I also used a burner email account that I made as a teenager and had no idea how to log back into. So when my computer suddenly decided to log me out of tumblr after a decade, I thought I'd lost this blog forever.

I'm not gonna lie, I was really sad about losing this little safe space I've had for such a long time. Luckily, tumblr support was able to help me out and I'm logging back in for the first time in months!

I pretty much only ever fill my queue up with reblogs and qiuetly appreciate everyone else's contributions to the community though, so it's likely that nobody noticed I was gone. But that's okay, I'm just so happy right now that I needed to make a post (something I never do, hehe).

I missed you <3

can’t believe that the creators of the owl house looked at moon from five nights at Freddie’s and went “wow that’s so gender” and made a bill cypher knock off with moon’s looks and sun’s personality (kinda)

Suuuuper late to reply but Brosphoenix is this more relevant than ever. Tbh they've got more Spinel personality vibes to me.

Heyo! You can find the Ocean Idiots ficlets on Ao3 now simply because it'll be easier to post the fics there without needing to update the same post and making it longer.

Anyways! Enjoy the fish people.

(I'm still working on her, specifically the ghosties.)

Lilly Pepper

Daughter Of Lewis Pepper

Best known for her temper, she's almost always on the edge of going off and flaming out.

She has her own lil ghosts like her dad that her rep of Sadness, Joy, and Rage. Rage is Pseudo leader of the ghosties trio.

She genuinely tries to be nice but like death and being the child of a vengeful ghost can mess up anybody.

Lilly really loves music! Her song is definitely Money by Mystery Skulls.

Her legs and arms are transparent since she's a ghost and do flare up with her when she gets mad.

She can't speak. Lacking a bottom jaw does that to you.

Lilly isn't looking for romance right now. She's got to work on her temper first. But maybe she'll find someone with her blue heart.

My #1 post of 2022

You Remind Me Of The Babe

Ocean Idiots Adopt A Child I Guess

@shandzii

Delta wasn't certain what she was staring at. It was a squirmy human thing with a large squishy plume on it's head. The plume had what she assumed was an eye in it. It certainly looked like an eye. A big fiery one. The thing's face was hidden by strange pink and blue strands of twisting hair that circled around it's head.

She gestured to the thing "Mariza what is this?" She asked.

Mariza smiled as she held the thing in her watery tendrils "It's a mer child, a jellyfish one. I've only heard about them but look at him... her... Them!" The god mumbled, they shifted the child a bit.

"Did you even check?" Delta asked. Her girlfriend was wonderful but also very, very impulsive at times. It was cute when it wasn't child kidnapping.

Mariza nodded "Yeah, it just they uh- they didn't have anything. As far as I could tell it was stingers and oh do they sting," she remarked. The jellyfish child giggled. Little chubby and uncomfortably pale hands grasped at the air.

Delta held out her hands "Give me them, you're going to drop them like that," she said. The ocean god sighed by gladly handed them over. The trio went to a spot on the ship for a little more privacy.

The shark smiled "Okay, let's see what you're hiding under this mushroom hat," she teased. The child giggled again as she pushed their hair (?) Back. Her hand stung sharply. Delta jerked her hand away "Ah shit," she grumbled.

"Those might also be stinger bits," Mariza warned. The god closed her mouth from the glare the pirate sent her way. Delta shuffled over to a trunk and grabbed a glove. She pulled it on then went back to the child "Okay, take two."

When she managed to touch the stringers without being violently stung. Delta felt the blood drain from her face "Mariza," she said.

Mariza popped up by her side and winced. The child had big glassy eyes. They were looking at Delta but it was definitely in a way that didn't exactly see her. More like the general direction of her.

Mariza waved a tendril in their face "Hey kid, can you see that?" She asked.

The little one blinked "What?" They asked, half aware.

Delta dropped their tentacles and pulled her girlfriend away from the kid "They're blind," She whispered.

"I noticed."

"Mariza!"

The god made a vague gesture "What! You want me to toss them back into the ocean or something? They're a jellyfish, I'm more shocked they can even talk rather than them being blind," she replied.

The shark mer fell silent. Her eyes went back to the jellyfish sitting on the bed, idly kicking their legs all dapper in a makeshift outfit from an old sail cloth. An idea hit her.

She approached the child and crouched down again "Hey little one, do you think you can answer some questions for me?" She asked.

They nodded excitedly.

A smile crossed Delta's face, Mariza electing to join her "Okay, do you have a name? Something your family calls you?" She asked.

The child smiled, all goofy and all teeth "Papa called me Ab- am- aboination," they said, stumbling through the word.

That sharp cold feeling on the blood draining from Delta came back "Abomination?" She asked weakly.

The child nodded happily "Mhm, Mama called me Abe or Abbey," they replied.

Once again they went back to the corner. Delta gave Mariza a look "Where did you find them?" She asked.

After the whole mess of Ascension thing and relearning each other, Delta knew one thing. It took a lot for the New Mariza to be anxious. What she had asked made the god's eyes dart everywhere but at her.

"Mariza."

[rebloggingrexan]

Second reblogging blog???

I just learned tumblr only lets you queue 300 posts per account, and I really enjoy queueing and reblogging.

Might make another blog for reblogging animal stuff??? Dunno. Just found out about the limit today when I hit it, and I’d like to keep reblogging a glut of nice buggy and lizard content but also have a lot of fanart stuff here.

I’ll find out how I’m handling my lack of queueing posts in a....... Let’s give it two weeks. xD

[oldbookist]

Hi!

Honest question: could you point me towards the specific content delegitimizing E/C in the fandom in recent years? I've seen your posts, and I'm very confused. I joined the fandom over a year ago, and maybe I've curated my space way too well, but I've never seen a single post against the ship. Posts or ships that contradict it? Yeah, of course, but that's just rareship hell (at least their fanon sexualities are compatible, Courfious shippers have to deal with most people headcanoning Marius as straight!). But actively against it? It seems like it was a big issue around 2012, but is it still a thing?

Thank you for taking the time to answer! ^^

i…am not going to dredge up old discourse posts or anon hate, sorry.

but anyway anon, i don’t think it’s due to your curation that you haven’t seen anything, this fandom is remarkably different today than it was in like, 2017, but even then it was not usually overt hate like the enjonine shippers faced. and i guess i can’t really talk about that without getting into the Lore, so:

long ago, the ships lived together in harmony. (well……..relatively speaking.) but everything changed when the 2012 movie came out.

what had once been an extremely niche fandom became very large indeed. exr had been popular on a small scale before, but after 2012 it expanded into a massive Ever Given of ships that blocked all competing ships. even this was not so bad if that was the only change, but what also came to power in this time period was The Modern AU Fanon, which was essentially brand new original fiction that happened to share names with les mis, invented by some popular posts and fanfiction. this basically replaced canon and you were expected to conform to it in the same way.

a little thing about e/c shippers: we have long prided ourselves on our knowledge and adherence to canon. so this did not go over too well for us! and here is where you get things like people telling you prouvaire is canonically nonbinary, and that enjolras/grantaire is canon so it is therefore homophobic to ship him with anyone else. so sure, their fanon sexualities were theoretically compatible, but in practice? hahaha no.

i don’t really think i can stress enough how mindblowingly bizarre this period of fandom was.

i’m talking about, it was extremely controversial to simply state that enjoltaire wasn’t canon. you would get harassed for that.

unlike enjonine, we were never really big enough to warrant getting hate in our sad little ship tag, there were like 10< people making content for it. so what harassment we got was more for having the audacity to ship something other than exr. and that’s what the whole emphatically platonic e/c thing is about, people could not comprehend enjolras being in a romantic relationship with anyone but grantaire, so we were ignored or minimized. (basically, when we’d post about it you’d frequently have someone commenting about how much they loved their ✨friendship✨ and let me tell you that really starts to grate over time.) like well, you can have it but ONLY if it’s platonic. well enjolras’s REAL partner is grantaire actually.

imagine i went around reblogging exr posts like “wow they’re such good friends, #platonic superhusbands” that’d be a dick move wouldn’t it!

so if you weren’t here, it is really hard to explain how fucking weird it was. i’m glad you don’t know! over the past year or so, for reasons i do not understand, this fandom has shifted dramatically towards being more canon-centric and also much more tolerant of dissenting headcanons and ships. (which is awesome.) so i also thought maybe all this was a thing of the past, but seeing the reactions to my recent posts, maybe not yet.

hope this explains some of it, or at least why e/c shippers tend to be very touchy about “sappho and her friend”-ing the ship.

I hate to say this, but I no longer feel at home or safe using Tumblr.

Within the past 3 years, it's caused me a lot of anxiety and caught the unwanted attention of bigots, even to the point that I constantly had asks flood my inbox and my personal posts reblogged and mocked.

In 2018, I was targeted by T_RFs, in 2019 I was dogpiled by wh_te supremacists, and in 2020 I was stalked, harassed, sent death threats/suicide baits, and nearly doxxed by a transphobic anon who couldn't take accountability for a simple mistake, to the point that they had to target my main Twitter account.

All these events have made me more anxious and apprehensive when it comes to socializing with others on this website and the lonliness is overbearing.

I've been on this website for 10 years (this blog for almost 7) and I've learned so much about myself and other people through this platform. I've made long-term friends and acquaintances. It's safe to say this has been my home and safe space when it comes to sharing content and being out and accepting about my own identity as a nonbinary bisexual on the spectrum, but in recent years...I feel like I can't even vent about small things on here without anons coming into my Inbox and tell me that I complain too much on my own blog.

I don't want to be on Twitter all the time because of its notorious userbase. Facebook isn't exactly the best place for it and I've also had some negative experiences there last year, what with some self-absorbed member of our pagan group insulting me when I told them I was trapped in a family that doesn't always seem to understand me, and an artist around my age who was exposed for defending child abuse materials and harassing minors.

I feel sad coming to think of having to leave this website since it helped me form my own thoughts and grow into my own person instead of having to rely on my own parents and their weekly Sunday church visits all the time.

Even though I started off ignorant and naive when I joined, I laughed at the nonsensical humor posts, I listened to personal anecdotes, I learned more about the world around me and beyond, all without having to leave my country.

I soon learned that the relationship I got into when I was 18 wasn't exactly how I pictured it, and I never had the chance to explore my identity fully until I was 21 and I had to break up with my ex for being stubborn and lacking compassion for marginalized sectors at the time, as well as being transphobic when I came out nonbinary.

I've learned that a lot of the tics and habits I had is commonly found in others on the autism spectrum and it gave me a new understanding of why I act and think the way I do.

I know I haven't exactly been the kindest last year, and I haven't been as open as I hoped. My poor mental and emotional health impaired my judgment and critical thinking, costing me a long-term friendship and the trust of some others. However, I did repay the people who commissioned me when I said I couldn't be able to do them due to my mental health. That is a reason, but not an excuse for how I acted. know I've done something wrong and I would like to apologize. I know it may seem like I haven't changed much, but it's hard to be open and honest when your words and actions can be twisted online and that ill-willed folks might be watching my every move.

What's next for me?

Well...I'm not sure.

I'm currently thinking that I might take an indefinite break from this website, even if it breaks my heart. Or start anew on a new blog and live quietly, even if it means giving my comfort space.

If you reached the end of this post, thank you for taking the time to read it. I know I don't seem like it, but I appreciate the mutuals and followers I have, even if I don't know you very well. You make my life less lonesome and I hope you have wonderful days ahead of you.

And I'm sorry if I've ever been petty or unbearable at times. Even if it was about little things like preferences, maybe I shouldn't have been too much of an ass and actually just said what I meant. I'm still learning how to accept my shortcomings and bad mental health days without having to resort to memes. Wisecracking can only get you so far and some things are not worth poking fun at, especially if they're treading on more sensitive issues.

P.S. I don't think I will be turning on anons for a long time. If you want to say something to me, whether good or bad, please be open and honest with me. I appreciate it.
