yang is a lesbian

google search is it possible to have a crush on a whole band

can’t think of a worse feeling than coming up with a really great meme, like, 2 months after the image format dies

The normal, not-a-terf thing to do would be to say “that’s a lie, I’m not a terf.” 🌝

I asked because I was receiving threats in regards to my life and my job. I’m not a terf, but I wanted this anonymous person to come off anon and have a further discussion with me without being anonymous.

Thanks for your thoughts on how I should have handled it.

There’s a part of me that always crops up that wants to act in good faith and I start to second guess myself. I genuinely wonder if somewhere deep down even a narcissistic ass can be saved from their own self-aggrandizement. 

Makes me want to find some nicer way to say how fucked up it is to be told “hey your writing reads as ableist with an almost fetishistic desire to use disability as a source of trauma in a way that very clearly gives you a thrill and you show a clear pattern of repeated transphobic comments and these communities you claim to want to champion are telling you very directly and clearly that you other and dehumanize and degrade them in truly heinous ways” and your response is just that you’re a victim of bullying, because you’re always the victim, aren’t you, just like the caregivers in your stories who remain the focus, not the disabled character you're using as trauma porn.

To ask if you’ve ever wondered why if you searched your now deleted twitter alongside the word “terf” it turns back results of people calling you one over and over and over. Do you think all those people are wrong, or do you think you’re doing things that are hurtful and degrading and your behavior is worth questioning in the slightest?

But then there’s the part of me that takes it at face value that you’re a woman in her mid-30s who should know better than this and my feelings become far less charitable and kind.

What do you think it is when you say things about how there are infinite genders but only two sexes and that everything about our lives (including bathroom usage) should functionally be determined by sex? Is it just not transphobic because you're an uptight pedant who would argue it's not bigoted because you think trans people should be allowed to exist, you're just going to call them predators, so you're not a terf, you don't even know what a terf is, other than calling it a lesbophobic term, of course and pretend that most lesbians agree with you.

It's obvious you know we don't or you wouldn't have worked so very very hard to keep your disgusting twitter separate from your fandom tumblr. If only your hubris and self-aggrandizement (see, there it is again) hadn't compelled you to engage with the praise of your fic. If only.

To be clear, I don't think you deserve threats or to be doxxed, which is why I'm not subjecting my followers to the screenshots of the shit you said. You can pretend to not believe you said what we both know you said. But you should probably stop lying about your beliefs so you can pretend to be the good guy.

tldr for you: Call trans women "males" or "these men" one more time and see how nice I am, you smug little liar. :)

I appreciate your thoughts. My Twitter was never a secret from anyone. It’s wild to learn that you think someone interacting with praise acts through “hubris” and “self-aggrandizement.”

Have a good evening.

i think it’s interesting you ask people to have a discussion with you with their names attached but the second someone brings some of the actual concerning and disgusting things you’ve done to attention the only thing you actually reply to is how you interacted with praise??

i'm emerging from the recesses of twitter to say that the author of the avatrice brain damage au/big mess of little joys fic on AO3 memorysdaughter on tumblr and (formerly as she has now deleted her twitter) earthquakedgirl on twitter.... is a massive TERF

on top of the fact that her fanfiction depicts beatrice as this like TERRIBLE carer for their disabled partner, infantalising ava while at the same time putting her in mildly sexual situations while the author herself acknowledges ava is literally not capable of understanding consent, and constantly talking about how ava with brain damage isn't HER ava. she paints beatrice as this victim when ava is literally the one suffering from memory loss and age regression.

the fic itself is weird and fetishy and leaves a damn sour taste in my mouth, especially considering the author works with disabled children. i myself am not disabled and have never had a brain injury, however i've spoken with many of my disabled friends on this and they have been vocal about how uncomfortable this fanfic has made them.

but the TERF stuff is all from her twitter, which has been deleted. fortunately a few of us grabbed as many screenshots as we could. huge trigger warnings here for transphobia

as well as the people she followed on twitter (this is the shinigami eyes extension for firefox, known transphobes/TERFs are in red)

do what you will with this information but i hope you don't support her or her fic after this. she's denying being a terf on tumblr but the evidence is literally all right here, so....

They're both so Yang it's so funny

mari is so funny i hope she never gets a backstory or emotional depth. she’s in the woods to cook stew and be a hater. and they’re all out of stew

"by trying so hard to save them, i stopped them from becoming what they needed to be" is a direct parallel to ozpin!! by being secretive, controlling and entrenched in his own belief abt how to save humanity he is stifling its potential instead of nurturing it!! growth resides in free, informed will and the acceptance of change!!!

sofi beat me to the punch but it’s a collection now. i’m a collector i collect 

after two years, a month and twenty days we finally have the glorious update

i will kill both @lightsaroundyourvanity and @yeahbumbleby in real life

did you eat the baby sofi

everyone’s speculating about rwby headcanons and all. here’s mine: yang is lactose intolerant.

in the first volume of the show, ruby makes her point about only needing to be partnered up at beacon with her sister because she “already drinks milk” and thus doesn’t need to socialize with other people that much in order to grow.

but the most interesting thing here isn’t the way ruby highlights how she drinks milk in order to get a grow spurt; it’s how yang reacts to it. look at her, the hands on the hips, the awkward face, the empty gaze. everything about how she’s standing seems to be screaming for help.

this is the face of somebody who went against their guts and drank milk anyway despite not being able to tolerate it.

further down the road in the show, yang is shown drinking at various moments during some scenes spread out in a few episodes. if you pick it up, you’ll realize her go-to drink is water (if you exclude that strawberry sunrise she ordered at junior’s club) which could be saying that she has, in fact, learned from her mistakes and gotten seemingly smarter.

yang xiao long not only learned not to rely so much on her semblance during a fight, she also learned to trust her guts. important character development right there fellas
