This From My Sister On Discord

Yeaah. If you’re new, please add something to your blog to make you look real. If you’re a woman, I’d advise against making your pfp a picture of you if you don’t have any posts… because that’s what the bots infesting this site tend to look like. Please make it clear you’re an actual person and not a spam bot, thanks :)

There's a new swarm of totally real ladies with empty blogs following me, and I'm blocking and reporting them left and right. If you are an actual human person with a brand new account trying to follow me, I urge you to please post *anything at all* on your blog so that when I go to check who the heck you are, I can tell you aren't just a bot-encrusted void. Just a simple "hello this is my lurker account I use to follow people" is enough.

This is why I eat honey as a vegan: not because I don’t value insects as animals, but because it is generally not produced through cruelty. In general, the bees can leave if they’re being mistreated. I have no problem enjoying the fruits of their labor, because they’re getting something out of it (a sheltered hive, defense and support from human beekeepers, et cetera) and they can leave. It’s not “eating/using something that comes from an animal” that’s the problem, it’s harming or mistreating the animal to get it that I take issue with.

vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

Hi :)

Posting silly propaganda for a poll battle not on this hellsite again; everybody support my favorite non-binary acorn.

Mascot Madness - SUNY

SUNY Mascot Madness is the battle to decide New York's favorite college mascot.

Oakie the acorn is our school's mascot and they're the silliest. Every year there is a poll tournament for the best SUNY college mascot and I think they are the tumblr-iest. They're an acorn and officially non-binary. I will post art if people vote for them (and like this post or reply or reblog to let me know) as I have previously.

Anyone want to join my silliness?

What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?

I think Viktor should be a tumblr sexyman

so yeah please vote for my blorbo

So with all the Oakie shenanigans, I have lost (much of) my anxiety around posting my art, including fanart and OCs. The floodgates have been opened XD

Today y’all get to see my silly little robot OC Lian, courtesy of me several months ago arbitrarily deciding that April 10 was her birthday (day she came online/was finished).

She’s young and kinda naive and has autism vibes and wants to learn and do All The Things. Her lesbian moms/creators are a robotics expert with autism and anxiety and an ex-military android with zero fear but Much Trauma, neither of whom have very good social skills, lol. So their kid doesn’t have good social skills either, but unlike her kinda isolated parents she’s very extroverted. Her mode of social interaction is based on my own, aka walking up to random people and being enthusiastically weird at them hoping someone will want to be your friend. (This is surprisingly effective in real life, for anyone wondering). To me she’s kind of like a fanchild for a story and characters that only exist in my own head, in that she’s not even part of the main story, but I wondered “what if these characters had a kid” and then the thought would not leave my brain.

CW: antisemitism, pale of settlement, pogroms, genocide, cultural erasure

I don't think goyim can really conceive of how much Jews actually hold back in our criticism of antisemitism in media, and when you hear us it is often because we see a dangerous message that you don't... Yet.

I have a complicated relationship with Tim Burton's rendition of The Corpse Bride. I love it as a beautiful piece of stop motion art, but it isn't what it should have been, he took a Jewish story from the Pale and with intention stripped it of its Jewish origins. This alone is incredibly antisemitic. The criticism you will hear has probably been "this is a Jewish story, it should have retained its Jewish elements" but have you heard why we feel strongly about this story?

The story of the corpse bride is incredibly important to me and was born from Jewish trauma and Christian violence. Mobs would routinely attack Jewish weddings, they would murder brides and they would bury them in unmarked graves by the roadside still in their wedding clothes, they reasoned that without Jewish wives there are no Jewish mother's. Jews are intrinsic to the story.

It is antisemitism to take our story, about our pain, at the hands of non-jews and strip it for "useful" parts, in fact it is heartbreaking every time.

We are often forced to pick our battles and fighting a battle over a movie that has already been released by a director with a cult following is not worth it, you only hear us speak up in numbers when the antisemitism may lead to another century of violence, because raising our voice means picking a fight, because so many of you already see our pain as inconvenient and it is exhausting to never be heard.

-anyone can reblog

Thank you @lane-thepencilthing for voting for Oakie in the SUNY Mascot Madness tournament (link). So maybe I could’ve posted these separately but this screwball nonsense all kinda goes together. This is a silly Hollow Knight modern/gijinka AU in which the characters are trying and failing to be normal people in the normal town of Hallownest. Chaotic ideas under the cut- it’s mostly just silly.

Hollie is a Gifted Kid who just wants to be “good” and ends up being the one who mostly takes care of their little siblings because their parents are absolutely slacking off on that. They’re very tall and stand out in a crowd, but they’re shy and quiet and don’t want to stand out and are always hunched over. Also, everyone in the Pale family is autistic. When I tried to make these characters act normal they all gave off extremely neurodivergent energy XD

Hornet is a tween who is Not Like Other Girls and likes spiders and will probably bite. Herrah is basically a Crazy Cat Lady, except she has a bunch of pet spiders. This combined with the fact that she’s crazy strong and kinda intimidating anyway means most people avoid her. If you say anything bad about her mom, Hornet will come after you. Ghost, predictably, is a little chaos child. They lose speech/can’t always speak and have both autism and ADHD. Grimm is kinda frenemies with PK, but Ghost and Grimm Jr. are the best of friends. They get into trouble together often. Grimm will often just drop his child off at PK’s house unexpectedly, and Ghost will get all excited about the surprise sleepover, and PK will be like “Grimm you can’t just do this” and Grimm will be like “Watch me.” The one good parent in this is the crazy woman whose house is full of spiders.
