i'm ngl i'm seeing this sentiment more and more often and i hate it

queer rep is finally doing well compared to the 2010's and even then we're still in danger as so many shows still get cancelled for having queer characters

we're in the golden age of actual, well written queer characters (qpoc, might i add) in shows that aren't merely about their queerness yet some of y'all are "mourning" the days of queerbait, saying current queer shows aren't good enough and queerbait's much gayer, actually

sorry if i'm taking this too seriously but what is your fucking problem

[fancy-feast-official]

new pinned post just for reference if you think that trans women calling out trans men for being misogynist or qpoc calling out white queers for being racist is "infighting" you are the problem! anybody can be sexist or racist and just because you are a part of a minority group doesn't mean you're incapable of being a bigot.

just lived through one of my worst days in recent years, a quite humiliating and draining day. pls send me drawing reqs or nice messages.

ive flown to another continent just to get back to my moms house the other day, where i will be spending the rest of june to have a grand pride month indeed. i‘m here to try to protect mom and find a way to get the person abusing her out of the house. i‘m so scared of what will happen, that the abuser will batter or kill my mom or myself or himself. i‘ve had to shield my mom with my body today, i‘ve had to beg the abuser to leave us alone. my mom called the police while he and i were arguing, and i begged her to drop the call. i begged the police not to come in the house when they did arrive, they went in anyway. now my anxiety spikes when i hear a sound in another part of the house and makes me cry out of nowhere.

i‘m now apart from my partner, the one person who i trust and feel safe around. my partner is who my mom refuses to acknowledge or respect due to her being the same sex as me. i‘ve already started abusing substances again, i‘m awful at coping.

why is it up to me to mediate? to sort out this problem, by begging, denigrating myself? I am queer, and i bring this up because the people in this house don‘t respect my sexuality identity nor my gender identity. the people who are meant to care for me the most don‘t respect or acknowledge my wife, and they have never cared to listen to me if i had struggles, invalidating me if i ever do bring it up. yet i have to constantly give validation, perform emotional labour, take on the role as trauma dumping ground.

and it doesn‘t help that the *one close friend* i had, a fellow qpoc who was the best friend i had in the shitty alienating city i currently live in, who i used to trust to speak with about personal, family issues, has been sending me hateful messages to me the past few days. i can speak with my partner about it but i still feel terribly alone.

i can post about it on my blog, where none of my followers actually know me, where i can have a public record that i existed, that i tried to protect who i loved, in case something does happen to me. despite my fear that i won’t be believed. i do want to come on this website just to distract myself and goof around but.. fuck it. it‘s my blog and i‘ll say whatever i want on it, who the fuck is bothering with this wall of text anyway? i‘m… scared for my life, tbh, for the lives of those i love. i can‘t believe im in this situation,

making my own post bc the last thing i rb'd is much more focused on qpoc in white spaces and the thing i wanna talk abt strays from it. but being filipino feels so damn lonely

we're desperate to be similar to our colonizers without admitting to it, wanting to be up to western standards all the time because it's the only thing we know of quality, and we have to heavily polish our english to become more professional (because knowing only tagalog and/or your native language makes you look uneducated, stupid or too casual)

when bigots here claim queerness is a "foreign concept" from the west they immediately turn around and trample on their own culture to live off of foreign-quality products we can't live without anymore

having so much of american culture tied into our very lives to the point where it almost feels like people are echoing white sentiments when it comes to queerness.. sometimes even i feel weird about how it feels. because a long time ago our indigenous roots had reveled concepts similar to queerness.. and now that we've pretty much almost lost that completely we have to fight for queerness in spaces crafted to match western standards. as if i dont even know what it means to be a filipino queer because i have to structure it so much based on american queerness

we just. copied so many of american society's problems when we chose to structure our lives around how great we found it. and god i just feel like a puppet that needs to mirror white queerness while some of my peers mirror white bigotry or indifference. i dont know. i want to love what i am but sometimes that? and all the challenges i face because it's hated? feels like something we had to borrow. all of it

Problem with His Dark Materials (there are several, but this pertains to how adaptable it is for a netflix show script or something) is it loses half its point once you sanitise it for the G rating, and that's precisely what producers would have to do to get it into the family-friendly young people categories.

Not all of it has aged well, but some of it has become more necessary than ever. Was reminded of this during the scene where Iorek finds a certain person's body, and then the scene right after that.

In this world bad things happen to people who do not deserve it and things move on, relentlessly. Good people die and their deaths are honored in ways that only make sense within the confines of their strange, complicated relationship with the people who find them, and the rest of the world continues to fuck, eat, shit, and kill, and whirl around in a dance both vibrant and savage. Evil people do terrible things but ultimately play an indispensable role in something too great for anyone to see until they have done what it is they were put there to do. It is not a neat, soft, and just world. But imo it is the one that is the most important for young people to understand, because the more sheltered must know it exists, and the less fortunate must feel a hand guiding them through it.

Instead of things like this, we have Disneypixar zombie productions and hero complex narcissist factory media where qpoc are thrown in to justify their frankly unjustifiable existence lol. Everything soft but nothing real, nothing kind.

Master MockeryLloyd’s Introduction

Hi! I’m Roy~! 🐱🍖

I’m a neurodivergent QPOC artist and writer who specializes in open-minded scenarios and kink positive experiences through literature and art. I also run a small discord server where people can express themselves freely from the bloodthirsty jaws of fictional oppression, otherwise known as a safe haven for those who were unfortunate to be shunned and bullied simply for being what they are.

I no longer have a DNI list as they seem to be pretty pointless and never work most of the time, but by interacting with me, you understand what you are getting yourself into and are comporting yourself like an adult. I will only block because I want to or if someone doesn’t follow their own DNI (then what’s the point of having one if you’re not gonna follow it?).

I DO NOT condone or support abuse of any real life beings

I DO support expression of all kinks, fetishes, and sexuality in non harmful ways

~ I am strongly anti-censorship and kink and sex positive.

~ I condemn cruelty to those with paraphilias of any sort (unless you enable these paraphilias to be acted upon irl, in which condemnation is acceptable to me).

~ I don’t intend to trigger anyone, so please be mindful and blacklist, if you have any problems please simply block me/unfollow.

~ Please do not ask personal or intimate questions (lewd comments are welcome about my art tho!)

~ Do not follow me if you engage in call out culture, harassment or doxxing of others online.

~ Absolutely do not interact with me regarding any "pro contact" discussion or in hopes of finding anything illegal, this will result in an immediate report and block.

Don’t be shy, I love to meet new people! <3 🌈🍖

If you don't know how to talk about transmisogyny without looping all trans men and transmascs together and assigning them all as transmisogynists, then maybe consider letting someone more mature and well versed in transmisogyny lead the conversation.

Likewise, if you don't know how to talk about transandrophobia without looping all trans women and transfems together and assigning them all as transandropobes, then maybe consider letting someone more mature and well versed in transandrophobia lead the conversation.

Because guess what!! At LEAST half of y'all still aren't normal about non-binary people who aren't "transfem" OR "transmasc", OR who identify with/as both, or who otherwise don't fit with your precious liberal, neobinary!! AND you BOTH do that thing you hate where you misgender trans men as being "transmasc" and trans women as "transfem"!!! And MOST of y'all are still VERY not normal about intersex people!!!!!

Also, can I just say a LOT of the people I see saying shit like "trans women are more oppressed" this and "trans men are more oppressed" that... are still white people. Granted, I'm white too, so you KNOW if I'VE noticed it, QPOC have DEFINITELY noticed it.

So if you don't know how to complain about your problems without assigning all the blame to another oppressed group, then genuinely just shut the fuck up.

Anyways, this post goes out to all of the non-binary, agender, neogender, xenogender, bigender, omnigender, two spirit, intersex, and queer people of color who feel alienated by the binary trans infighting and can't seem to get their voice to be heard through all the noise.

tbh I wouldn't hate November-March so much if there was some freaking sun. Like don't give a shit about temperature, it could be -2 for all I care, but I don't even have my watch tanline right now. I could practically pass for a wyt person I'm so pale and I am NOT OKAY WITH IT.

like there was absolutely no reason that megfitz needed to specify that it was in a poor area struggling with gentrification and that tim threw "wayne money" at it to try and purchase the spot instead of renting it. you know. directly adding to the problem of gentrification that she herself brought up as a conflict and a bad thing for all his impoverished qpoc neighbors. there was no need to do any of that

confession. i actually loathe the houseboat. it means less than nothing to me

Bandaids

We are not the same

You cover your wounds with new band aids

You coward at the thought of cleaning your wounds

Admire your own self inflicted wounds and wear them like a badge of honor

It’s your story and your comfort

Your identity you mask as charm

You envy my strength this I know is true

I have felt the burn of healing

The grimace in my face

And tears that remind me of hurt you inflicted

But I will continue to cleanse my broken heart and vivid memories

I will heal until all is left is a faint scar

A lesson I no longer have to cover up or pick at

You won’t take space in my flesh anymore

I’ll be free and wild again

Someone saw my writing and went: “I don’t read for gay and trans rep. I read for BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS”.

Oop. I’m sorry. We do exist though babe. Believe it. And I’ll keep writing about us.

Bye y’all. From now on, I identify as -fictional- with an absolutely magical character arc byeeeee ✨✨

"Had I had more representations of black gay women growing up I probably would’ve come to conclusions around my sexuality much earlier because I would’ve had more of a conception of what was possible and okay," she said in the Wonderland interview. "Having more representations of black gay women now and seeing myself reflected in them has been a huge aid in seeing myself as whole, complete, and normal." (x)
