I Don't Think Younger/newer Users Fully Grasp The Shit Show That Ace Discourse Was Around 2014-17

I don't think younger/newer users fully grasp the shit show that ace discourse was around 2014-17

It was so hostile that, to this day, discussions that begin to derail just enough can make me physically nauseous, some specific mockery trigger crying sessions years later. We lost most accounts with any sort of ace positivity. There was no information, no support, and all this damage was done predominantly by other queer people.

All this to say that you, however you identify yourself, should be engaging with aphobic comments the same way you do any hate. We don't sugarcoat or try to be comprehensive with people who are blatantly racist, homophobic or terfs, so why give it a pass just because it's coming from a queer person? I see how this tolerance goes and it's done enough damage as it is.

Does anybody else think about the fact that Yuu doesn’t really ask adults (cough Crowley) for help after Book 4? Especially since they were given a phone and told they could call for help, and it did *nothing*?

I feel like that’s a trauma in and of itself. Boy does that child need therapy.

Who’s your Pokémon partner? [250 possibilities]

Welcome, young trainer, to the Pokémon laboratory! I’m Professor Bayberry and here the Pokémon partner selection process works a little differently — instead of the trainer picking the Pokémon, the Pokémon picks the trainer. Why don’t you sit down and answer a few questions while we wait to see which of our many Pokémon chooses you?

— [ it’s finally done! head’s up, this is a long quiz, 35 questions! art credit here ]

It’s a screenshot redraw of the original trio plus Chewie from Star Wars. Chewbacca is closest to the viewer though his face is out of view and only his ammunition strap/part of his body can be seen. Han Solo is peaking out from behind him. Han has brown skin and dark brown hair. He is wearing a yellow-tinged shirt with a blue vest over it and his ears are pierced. The shirt is low enough to show part of his chest where there is a scar peaking out from under his tit. Leia stands next to him, significantly shorter but still visible. She is wearing a white headscarf that is styled to look like two buns and a white dress that has a large fold over the shoulders. She has brown skin and a few freckles. Lastly is Luke, who is holding a blaster in his left hand. He also has brown skin and far more freckles than Leia, though he also has acne scars peppering his face. He is wearing a white tunic. The group is placed against a nondescript blue-toned background. Soft lighting comes from the left while harsh lighting comes from the right, illuminating a couple strands of hair and fur.

It’s a digital painting of Padmé Amidala and Aayla Secura based on La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Francis Bernard Dicksee. Padmé is depicted as an East Asian woman with brown skin and black hair. She is mounted on a fathier with her right hand holding the reigns while her left is across her torso. She wears her blue nightgown and is looking down at Aayla with a soft smile. Aayla stands at the fathier’s side with her right hand holding onto a rope at its flank while her left goes off screen. She wears redesigned robes, which are brown in color and cover most of her body save her right arm, and she is looking up at Padmé. Her gaze is full of adoration; she is simply infatuated.

it's a two page comic of Kix and Finn from Star Wars done in minimal colors of mostly blue and pink. In the first page, the beginning panels are focused on various pieces of armor, Kix's hands, and then Finn's face. Back and forth dialogue between them reads: Kix: "How's that?" Finn: "This is what you guys wore?" Kix: "Mhm. Standard Phase II Gar-issued armor. How's it fit?" Finn: "A lot better than whatever the First Order put us in. Feels like it might actually protect me from a hit or two. It's nice." Kix: "Good. It's yours now." Finn: "What?" The next panel focuses on Kix, who is older with long, greying hair. He wears a pair of rectangular glasses and a blue jacket. "What?" Finn asks and Kix repeats himself saying "It's yours now, kid." Finn: "Are you serious?" Kix: "Wouldn't be saying that if I wasn't, now would I?" Finn continues to argue, "But it's the last you have of your brothers. I can't take this."

The second page first focuses on flashbacks of Kix with his armor, showered in bright pink light as opposed to blue. Saleucami, Umbara, and then Anaxes. The scene changes back to the present where Finn is still speaking as Kix picks up a piece of his armor and a mug of caf cools off in the background. Finn: "I don't understand. Kix?" As Kix looks down at one of his shoulder bells, he replies, "I've thought about it long and hard, but the truth is, I don't have much use for this armor anymore. My fighting days are over and all it's going to do is sit in a trunk if I keep holding onto the past. It's time for me to let go and pass it on to someone else." There's a sequence of panels of Jesse, Hardcase, Fives, Rex, Tup, and then, finally, Finn. It's then that Kix says "You're my brother too, Finn." He then backtracks, going on to say "Now of course, it's only if you want it, but—" but Finn cuts him off by saying "Thank you", his arms wrapped around a surprised Kix in a hug. "Thank you, Kix." After getting over his initial shock, Kix smiles softly and hugs him back. "Of course, vod'ika." He replies.

It's a drawing of Finn as a Jedi. He wears a shiny orange jacket with "Finn Dameron" written on the back in aurebesh and he holds an ignited blue lightsaber while his free hand hangs at his side. His back is facing the viewer though his head is turned to the side and he is looking back. He also has a pistol holstered at his thigh and a gold earring.

It’s a page-long comic focused on Rex from the Clone Wars. Going from top to bottom, the first row is divided into four panels. The first panel shows two hands holding onto a black hair clipper from a side view. The person’s skin is brown, and it’s dropped against a dark blue background. The second is a closeup of Rex’s face, where his roots are showing underneath blond dye. He is looking down, with only part of his face visible, the rest cut off by the borders of the panel. The third shows his reflection in a mirror over a sink, his eyes cut off by the top border of the panel. A pink scar is visible going over his chin and he has a five o’clock shadow growing in. The fourth, and final panel of the row shows Rex bringing the clipper to his hair to shave it all off. His face is not visible, only the top of his head and part of his hand. “One day” is written on the top of this panel. The next row features 3 long panels—one on either side and then in the middle—with four smaller panels in between them. Hair is falling in the first long panel, and at the bottom, text reading “I’ll stop” is printed. The four short panels feature: Cody, Fives Hardcase, and Tup. All of them are smiling or laughing; they seem happy. The next panel is a long panel and it is a closeup of Rex shaving his hair from a side view. His face is not visible, but his ear, the clipper, some of his shirt, and some of his hair are. Next to it are four more panels featuring: Kix, Jesse, Dogma, and Denal. Kix, Jesse, and Denal are all smiling while Dogma looks stoic as ever. Next to it is the last long panel with text reading “seeing your face” printed at the top. The small panels are backdropped against yellow while the long ones have dark blue backgrounds.

Some Old Star Wars Art For May The Fourth

It's a drawing of Barriss and Fox on Coruscant sitting on a docking ramp. Barriss looks upset and Fox wears a tired expression as he talks to her. Fox is drawn with black hair streaked with gray, heavy eyeballs, and a scar across his lips. Barriss is wearing simple brown robes and a headscarf. The scene is illuminated by various street signs and a bright light hanging from the side of a roof.

It's a drawing of Rex and Echo with their foreheads and noses pressed together in a Hongi after Echo has been rescued. Echo is drawn with brown skin which has lost some of its color thanks to his time in stasis and he sports burn scars as well as leftover frost.

It's a drawing spread of some of the Bad Batch where they are actually drawn to resemble Temeura Morrison. First is Crosshair, who is albino and has freckles, holding up Omega who has brown skin and piebaldism with lighter patches of skin across her face and hands. Omega holds his jaw while they press their noses and foreheads together in a hongi. The second drawing is of Tech and Echo, the former tinkering on something while the latter is asleep against him. Tech is drawn with brown skin, curly red/orange hair, and goggles. Echo is also drawn with brown skin though his features are slightly sunken as the result of malnourishment. He wears a metal headpiece and arc armor which has been painted grey and black and has a red handprint on the right side of the chest plate. He is also depicted with burn scars and a lighter scar across his face.

It’s a drawing of Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker in a Venator’s hangar. The background is a very simple grey wall with lights to the right of the frame. Anakin and Ahsoka are hugging—Anakin is leaning over her with his arms wrapped around her back, and Ahsoka has a visible hand on his. Anakin’s face is only partially visible, though it’s clear that his skin is brown and his locs are dark brown. He wears his usual Jedi robes. Ahsoka is wearing her outfit from the Siege of Mandalore and her face is visible, showing a smile on her lips.

𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫✨⚔️

isn't it wild that even though silver (and sebek!!) are canonically buff and strong, they're barely represented that way in-game? maybe the PE uniform cards depicted that well, but everything else just nerfs their god-given right to beefy glory... also people need to make more content of cheeky silver. it's canon. he's so blunt sometimes lol

this goes out to that one anon that pointed out the lack of silver on my blog-- you're absolutely right and I apologize deeply because tumblr nuKED YOUR ASK OTL hopefully they still see this lol
