#draw butches it’s good for you

[skelelephant]

hello artist who wants to make a genderbent au of a male-dominated piece of media. In front of you, you’ll see a copy of Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Fienberg and a google image search for the word “butch”.

You have two hours to come up with designs for some of these characters that aren’t femme. If you can’t accomplish this, your drawing hand will be removed from your person.

man, you know, nobody asked me, but I have such conflicting opinions on some of the fat falin art, where on one hand: it's always nice to see A Fat Body in fanart anywhere + it's being done in positive ways, for funsies and on the other hand, there is something so familiar about how you are automatically The Fat One if you are a woman simply standing next to a more petite woman, bc I've had a 0% hitrate in seeing people change Marcille's body type and keep Falin's, or change both of them. it's just Falin

it takes balls to expect praise when you nearly get yourself killed trying to fight a deathclaw with just a switchblade (and expect to win!?). dumbass.

“Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that she was English, that she was intelligent, and that she was gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide.”

Butch Aziraphale makes a lot of sense to me.

cicadas are fun to eat if you are an animal , or a person, nom nom nom crunch crunch. They only come out every couple of decades though, so you’re gonna have to wait a long time before you can see them again. Gorge yourself until then. Decorate your windowsills with their shells, record their buzzing to listen to while you sleep. Don’t forget, you can’t forget. okay bye.

Women. Send tweet.

If it wasn’t obvious enough I like boobs, I decided y’know what tonight is boob night, the grandmas are all showing a little boob and I love that for them

There’s also my headcanon as to what Wasabi looks like without her goggles + with her hair down, mostly referenced her wasabi overdrive costume for that

Randomly remembered all those times someone on a forum or wherever would ask, like, "if your comic was ever turned into a movie or a tv-show, what would you want it to be like", and I was always spewing something about obvious answers like Fortiche or whatever

BUT ACTUALLY. That's wrong.

The correct answer is that I would want it to be filmed as one of those film-student-project fan movies. Where no one has any money and their camera isn't stabilized and the 'sets' are all local buildings but everyone is very committed to making it work with what they have. And all the actors are friends or classmates or someone's parents and therefore look especially real and human.

i also don’t think ‘security in your masculinity’ functions as a cure for violence against women. in fact, the cure is (put simply) compassion and empathy for women, the recognition that women are human beings, which is something masculinity is explicitly constructed against. because masculinity isn’t a biological reality, it’s a social construct defined against a feminine ‘other’ and associated with power. traits/behaviours/embodiment that one culture and time period associates with masculinity are associated with femininity in another.  In that context ‘security in your masculinity’ means... security that you don’t have to behave like [insert racialised/class-prejudiced portrayal of stereotypes male violence here] to preserve the privileges you expect to be surrounded by as a member of the dominant gender class. the irony in the ‘secure in my masculinity’ brag is that it makes the men with genuine cause to fear for their place in masculine hegemony (disabled men, gay men, trans men, men of colour, jewish men, immigrant men, working class men, etc) more of a threat than the men who are most secure within it. and now, under this framework, striving for inclusion within the privileged class, fighting to maintain its definitions, and subscribing to its values, is... feminist praxis?  and of course, in all of this, men’s experiences are centralised in the conversation of violence against women. violence against women becomes a tribal issue between groups of men, a.k.a 'feminist’ men are taking fundamentally the same perspective as the 3750 year old code of hammurabi.

no but literally because Neil once said that every major like historical thing you can imagine Crowley and Aziraphale were there and I was like oooh okay Joan of Arc gotta talk about Joan of Arc. Your take was honestly so much better than I could have hoped for-- also I wonder how that ends. Do Crowley and Aziraphale save her from the stake or are they just pissed that it happened at all?

Oooh I didn't know he said that but that opens up a whole world of possibilities omg..... they're just chilling in the background of everything that happens ever!! Also I was thinking about how it ends too and like... augh it's so hard to think about because they wouldn't want her to die, but I feel like this would be something that would be difficult to covertly stop because of how many people were involved in her burning, it would be too many people to try and fool. I'm confident they would have been there to help her succeed during that first ever battle she was in and justified it through loopholes as always ("she's still leading them into battle, Michael! Nobody said she had to do it all alone!") and I think they were the ones who made sure she had a miraculous recovery from that arrow that hit her the one time. More than likely they kept showing up to check on her, and would give her advice or a narrow escape from disaster each time, but unless they had a very extensive plan to fake her death and hide her for the rest of her life, I feel like her being burnt at the stake would be one of those "it's always too late" moments like when they had to sit and watch Jesus be crucified after Crowley showed him all the kingdoms of the world. They could keep her company every so often, and gift her some of the men's clothing she liked, and have lunch with her once or twice, and keep her safe, but only for so long. She had free will, and even if she was warned of what was going to happen to her, she didn't seem to ever want to hide from it, and I don't think they could have convinced her to. It's just one more time that Aziraphale realizes how cruel Heaven can be (Michael came to her knowing how dangerous this all was, and is not upset about her death at all) and it's one more time Crowley realizes he cares about Earth and humanity and bringing good to people's lives more than a demon should be allowed to. More than likely they were the ones who started to convince people after the fact that burning her at the stake was wrong, and they popped over in the 1920s to push the Catholic church to canonize her, then pushed to make her the patron Saint of France a bit later, and on their way out of France they grabbed Aziraphale some crepes. Aziraphale makes an offhand comment about how much Joan would have enjoyed eating with them again if she was still around. They leave a plate of crepes at the spot where she died.
