we need to destroy the pale snow bunny femme x dark skin muscular butch sapphic comic industrial complex

okay couple things, I know that these comments are well meaning but this is not a fish for webtoons recommendations or suggestions on how to flip these tropes. this is me asking for you to sit and think about why these tropes exist in the first place. and why they're so widespread. a majority of the queer artists that make art and get popular off of their art are white thats a given. I feel like low-key when it comes to the majority of art I see and what art gets popular; when it comes to white wlw/sapphic/etc artists they wanna show how idk, woke they are with their art so they try to get in as many brown/black ocs as they can to ship with their white ocs. the problem arises when they showcase certain like romantic and sexual dynamics in their art but they don't think about it past surface level 'this is what gets me off'. like, for starters why do you associate darker skin and/or blackness with like aggressiveness, strength, servitude and carnality? why is that?

also low-key you can avoid this problem by simply having like, two dark skin women be together? you don't have to insert yourself, oops I mean a white oc, into your work every time. I also have a similar issue with white mlm/etc artists making east and south asian men sexually submissive to their white male paramours + just straight up not making content of queer black men/acting like they don't exist.

ultimately um, idk if you're a white artist you need to be more critical of the shit you're into sexually and unpack the racialized tropes you perpetuate. umm... stop with the antiblack and orientalist shit. and lastly stop acting like gay and bisexual black men don't exist. by the power of the father the son and the holy spirit amen.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

Last year I finally had an excuse to illustrate this simple little Tumblr story I've had bookmarked forever for class.

I hope you like it :]

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

ohhh this one resonated didnt it

Look, if I can get people to physically grab my hyperactive ADHD hand and hold me back so the rest of the group can keep up, it is HIGHLY likely that you can slow down for your friend.

If not, ask if you can do loops around them - going ahead and then behind - eating up your energy without getting too far ahead.

Walk backwards.

Scout ahead for short distances and then come back to point out all the coolest sights like a trail guide, letting your disabled friends pause to look at them.

Find something that works for the both of you!

I went from being The Guy Who Walks Too Fast to The Guy With A Cane (or hiking poles), and I still have a tendency to walk at my former pace if I'm not paying attention. This makes my arthritic hips unhappy, so I have this argument with myself.

lil doodle from the other day born out of an overwhelming annoyance that for some reason body hair is associated with masculinity despite Everyone Having It. so why not draw a cute hairy girl about it

referring to a group of people as "guys" is seen as gender neutral but youd get your head kicked in for switching your default to "girls".

Why is that?
