based on a funny shirt i found on etsy that ellie and dina would absolutely for sure 100% would dress jj in :^) #tlou
it's kinda frustrating to see ppl react to artists turning human gumlee back into bubbline as if it's a wlw vs. mlm rep issue?? like you DONT get it!!! we never got to see marceline actually be depicted as black
realized i never posted this catradora art from 2020 even tho it's like. the best one i did??? #shera #sherafanart

can we stop acting like a lesbian butch/masc is a myth or a scary stereotype?? like. IT HAPPENS. people are butch. this mentality has led to butches being *nowhere* in media for years because ppl have been afraid of perpetuating something.

hello, i was at this meeting in support of the pride event this person was protesting. when these people spoke, they were not met "broad support." the above video was filmed from the one corner of the room where the homophobes sat so it looks like a ton of ppl clapped. (1/?)
HOWEVER, 85-90% of the room that day was filled with people also in support. the homophobes were majorly outnumbered! those on our side who also spoke got major standing ovations, that completely dwarfed that of the homophobes 10x over. (2/3)
i drew up a piece a month or so ago for a zine that was cancelled so here have some soft boys on a road trip :> #overwatch #mchanzo
