gatekeeping my art by not making any

Many new art on my patreon. Running out of thyroid medicine. If anyone could please help out. Would appreciate it forever

I started a side blog where I chaotically post about books im reading. I'll eventually get organized enough to actually post like summaries and better thoughts but for now it's mostly me saying im reading a book and then yelling at Tumblr's algorithm for slapping a mature label on it because it's a picture of a book in 2025.

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

I need to draw (i need to draw)

Reblogging this on ALL my blogs because holy shit is it useful

there's this horrible school of attempted literary criticism on here that holds that 1. everything in any given author's work is autobiographical, especially if it seems "real" and 2. those themes seeped into the work subconsciously, revealing something about the author that they're either trying to hide or unaware of themself. it drives me up a wall, since it seems to deny the fundamental skills that make people good writers: the empathy to imagine and portray experiences that one hasn't had oneself and the ability to take one's personal emotional experiences or worldview and fold them, consciously, into the unworked clay of a narrative.
