I've talked a lot about how I wish we lived in a world where children weren't assigned a gender other than "child" at birth and are given a temporary name they can keep or change whenever they please as they age and they can decide based on their own life and upbringing what gender they feel like if any gender at all
And this is my perspective as an intersex person and an autistic person with a strong drive for autonomy
And I've gotten the weirdest pushback, as if this would ever actually happen. But the biggest critique I get is "well I WANT to have an assigned gender otherwise I wouldn't be who I am today" like yeah no shit, neither would I
Yall can't remove yourself from the bigger picture for a second and use your imaginations? Yall can't imagine a better system than the one we live under? The binary gender and sex system that harms and kills? The fact that it's not usually cis people who say this shit. Usually cis people just don't even understand how "child" could be a placeholder for a gender and don't engage in the convo lmao or just call me slurs and go away
Assigned genders hurt many people but yall straight up don't wanna hear intersex perspectives on what else we could be doing as humans
Remain : Verb. Continue to exist, especially after other similar people or things have ceased to do so.
Characters being compared to dogs always use terriers or pitbulls or something for their metaphors. “They grab on and they don’t let go” “They keep worrying at it until it’s dead” etc.
Anyway, I want to see collies used as metaphors. Albert Payson Terhune style. “He was like an attack dog–making slash-and-run attacks, cutting them up worse every time, never staying in range long enough to get hurt but circling back over and over.”

Thanks for 300 followers! Everyone’s been so nice, and I love being in this fandom! To celebrate, I’m hosting a DTIYS! :D 💖🍭🍬
Rules:
@ me and use the tag #Bee300DTIYS
Draw a Lloyd! He can be the one featured above, your own design, or whatever! The only real rule in interpretation is YOU MUST GIVE HIM CANDY. Let my boy have his candy! You can add other characters, make sequential art, sculpt something, make needlepoint, whatever! It’s all good!
Winners will be chosen at random, raffle-style. I do this with DTIYS challenges to encourage less experienced artists to participate too. It’s not a skill contest!
The deadline is May 20th!
Have fun!
Prize pool:
Top prize: One colored and shaded character drawing!
Second prize: One flat, colored half-body drawing!

Just had a dream that I poured a hot drink on the lap of some guy for saying something racist (helpfully censored by the dream). He lost his shit and was going to call the cops on me for assault, to which I said “Go ahead… I can escape from this world and from all consequence. I am beyond your retribution.” I then crossed my arms, ascended into the air, and woke myself up just as sirens blared nearby.
I drew my love again.
Stop it, Inko!! He’s already dead!
