I Finally Got The App So Now I Can Post My Traditional Stuff, Too. Recent One Of My Oc Seth

Reposting old art so I can legally call myself an artist, starting with one of my favorites: the Caiden and Jaiden drawing used to make their irl doll

Two more pages from my doodle book

I've started messing around with painting, and its fun!

Went to my first Green Day concert

They played my favorite songs (St. Jimmy and One Eyed Bastard)! I got merch! A drunk guy fell on me! Billie was super funny! They had the inflatable plane from Dookie!

12/10 experience, would definitely go again!

Watching a video on aphobic memes reminded me of something...

It was basically like "Asexual and aromantic people don't face systemic oppression!"

And... we do. Take a look around at how much value society places on sex and romance. Many systems rely on the expectation you will fall in love and get married. We've all heard the meme about getting married for tax reasons. Romance is even used as a measure of happiness. I'm in therapy, and my therapist will sometimes have to use certain charts and templates with me. A good chunk of them always involve discussing romantic life. I'm blessed that she is perfectly accepting of me being aroace, and we've even discussed how harmful it is that there's so much pressure. I've heard of other people in the community who had their asexuality/aromanticism treated like a problem in therapy.

Or, in the medical industry: I was having severe abdominal pains and went to the ER. The nurses were absolutely convinced it was an STD, despite me swearing I'm not sexually active. They only focused on the idea of an STD. It later ended up being an intestinal issue. They pressured me into doing a pelvic exam, then used the wrong size instrument so I was screaming in pain the whole time. All because they couldn't believe there was a patient who did NOT have sex. Who was NOT in a relationship. The expectation was that teenager = sex.

We are continuously taught this idea that everyone has sex and falls in love. All of our systems are built around it. Our whole society expects it. If you are not in any relationship, you are stereotyped as lonely and/or crazy. If you are in a purely sexual relationship, you are stereotyped as being vain and sex-crazed. If you are in a purely romantic relationship, you are stereotyped as leading your partner on and incompatible with others.

I'm fortunate enough to have grown up surrounded by people who loved and supported me for my identity. I love myself for my identity. But even I have still faced discrimination and harm as a result of it. I still get anxious when a doctor touches me. I still feel left behind when I see my friends getting into relationships. But I don't want to change myself.

I want to change the world around me. We deserve better.

Stop acting like the Minecraft movie is redeemed

I feel like Im going insane. Why are we suddenly acting like the Minecraft movie will be great? In what way did the second trailer redeem it besides doing some of the bare minimum stuff?

"Guys they used C418's music!" This was the literal basic standard for the movie's sound track. I would be more surprised if they didn't use it.

"It looks better!" In what way? The iron golem looked great ngl, but everything else was mid or just awful. Go look at the villagers and tell me anything has improved.

"Haha the mines joke was funny!" Its a megacorporation trying to sound like they're in touch.

This is still another live action cash grab, and unfortunately it'll probably work. It pisses me off knowing what we could've gotten instead of this. I have seen so many fantastic ideas from people over here. You can go see the movie if you want, but stop praising it like they've done something good. They haven't.

Having like 30 bots follow you is very demotivating ngl

Hey, its worse now. People are BLAZING these posts. I am having suggestive and NSFW content shoved in my face despite not engaging with any of their tags. How the fuck is this being allowed through?

If you post heavily suggestive/NSFW content and don't tag it as such, fuck you.
