one thing about tumblr users isthat they love to disagree with posts. another thing is that they love to do is disagree with things that were not even in the post as if they were
this is just absolutely not true. people do not normally drink printer ink.
somehow instead of saying “as a treat”, I’ve started using the phrase “for morale”, as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I’m not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
to cis artists, yr allowed to draw trans characters to be clockable, in fact i encourage it. it’s not politically incorrect or offensive to depict trans people as being obviously trans, especially if you’re drawing cartoons. its not a stereotype a lot of us just look like that
i mean, i know a lot of trans people disagree, but eventually every ally has gotta bite the bullet & use their judgement to decide what’s best for the group they’re allied with. literally just give her stubble, it’s quick, it’s easy and it’s free.
coding is neutral, it’s just aesthetic, framing is what actually matters. no one’s out here calling ms frizzle an antisemetic caricature. its not racist that u can tell the one car in Cars that sells gas is black. when cartoons show a man in a dress & treat the contrast between makeup and body hair as being self evidently funny, that’s transphobia. but that doesnt mean its bad to have a big hairy man wear makeup in your illustrated works, thats just normal hot guy behavior
“intrusive thought” gets thrown around by assholes talking about putting strainers on their heads or stepping on a leaf who in the next sentence will say “if your thoughts are about actually hurting people they should put you in a psych ward”. compulsions and rituals get seen as proof you’re “crazy”. ocd insight CAN be delusional, even. pocd and sexual ocd is especially demonized, though even something as “harmless” (to others. not *us*) as contamination OCD is still mocked, belittled, and seen as a sign something is fundamentally wrong with you. I have seen people twice my age advocate for violence against anyone who thinks the way I’ve been forced by my mental illness to think since i was 6, maybe 7 years old.
