If you wish to follow me then know that in so doing in place of a Dark Lord you would have a queen! Not dark but beautiful as the dawn! Treacherous as the Sea! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!
I block very liberally. Nothing personal is meant by it.
I have many posts queued. They aren't always tagged b/c it's way more work on mobile.
You’ll see explanations for frequently used tags under the cut.
“My posts” are text posts I’m the OP of.
“Poetry” is poetry that I’ve reblogged OR written.
“Passages” is pieces of prose that don’t qualify as poetry (there might be some overlap) Also as of 8/23/24 I only just started using this tag so it'll be empty for a minute.
“Writing Mechanics” is writing advice or similar meta discussion of writing.
"Writing Meta" is anything else about writing communities, the practice, or my general thoughts.
“Brianna original writing” is something that I wrote and linked here or posted here!
“Brianna’s highposting again” is silliness (or deeply emotional stuff) that I posted while high.
“My face” is selfies and such. Don’t dig too deep you’ll get jumpscared.
Edit, new additions:
"Witchsongs" was an old tag I used for sharing different art, images, songs, and such that fit into a spooky aesthetic. We're bringing it back babey
"Trans thoughts" is my tag for my own personal reflections on transness and transitioning. There's definitely older trans thoughts that were posted before i started collecting them.
I also tag stuff for The Masquerade (the Baru Cormorant books), Wheel of Time (show and books), and a few other fandoms. Just a heads up I am very forgetful and often don't tag spoilers. Sorry! :(
"on meat" is gore. I write gothic horror, (and schlocky riffs on gothic horror) gore's part of the trade I'm afraid
"Brianna's wizardposting again" is me being silly, and crafting other worlds, or posting about the majestic and magisterial ziggurat
"Spiders" is my tag for spiders. I'd get more fun with that tag, but i don't want to accidentally trigger someone's phobia.
"Bri's on the pole" <- me talking about pole dance, OR videos or pictures of me on the pole
“Therrin” <- that’s my THE character of all time. Protag and PoV to two major WiPs of mine
Also feel free to check out the actual blog website https://briannysey.tumblr.com/ I put a decent chunk of work into it lmao

since 2017, i’ve read this essay every june 12th, to mark every unfortunate anniversary of the pulse shooting in orlando. justin torres published it in the washington post the day after it happened, when i still had the image of a dance floor vibrating with cellphones in my mind—vibrating not with music but with call after call after call of people trying to reach their beloveds after hearing the news.
every year, i read it in silence, i read it out loud, i read it while crying, i read it angry. i read it, and i wish it was in spanish, and i read it and i know the translation, in any direction, wouldn’t suit because we can’t always be translated, anyway.
i read it after i say the names of the 49 lost at pulse, and i keep the people they loved and that loved them in mind while i do it. i say their names and i hold their memory, and it’s not enough, and it will never be enough, but i hope that they are dancing, inviolable, free.

um so basically a few hours after this post when i was brushing my teeth i accidentally triggered my gag reflex and threw up all my pepper jelly into the sink and it was really orange and that was super weird cause its never happened before but papa didnt raise a quitter so i am once again eating pepper jelly
gunk and i have fundamental disagreements over how many prepositions are allowed to go in a row, and one day this will be resolved with how this was always going to end: in a gory shower of spectacular violence

a really fascinating writeup on a black trans ex-politician working in Oklahoma
Mo Turner — queer, Muslim and Black — faced discrimination and censure in the Oklahoma legislature. They have found healing through activism
I have a lot of ties to Oklahoma and spent a great deal of time there as a kid. It's especially difficult for queer folks in Oklahoma, and that's magnitudes for black & queer black folks in Oklahoma. Many of my first exposures to how prevalent and horrific racism is, were found in spending time with black family members in Tulsa. They have all left Oklahoma for marginally safer pastures (incredible to think of Kansas or Missouri as safer places for anyone, and yet!).
Doing advocacy work, caring for people in need, and trying to effect good social change are all much more difficult in places of severe repression; yet it is precisely those places where that work is most needed. And, as always, opportunities for a better world can be built exactly where you already are. I have nothing but profound respect and admiration for folks like Mo Turner trying to effect that change in the most hostile of environments.
maybe this is not my place to say because I am monolingual, and I'm sure it's part of a larger, more nuanced discussion about visibility and accessibility on the internet, but I think it'd be cool if people posted in their native languages more instead of in english. I see people do it way more on other platforms than on tumblr which is almost exclusively in english
El problema es, como bien has dicho, la accesibilidad y la visibilidad.
Tumblr en concreto es muy anglocentrista y un gran número de los usuarios no habla más que inglés. Si quieres que tus cosas lleguen a gente con gustos u opiniones similares, escribirlo en inglés asegura que la gente por lo menos lo pueda leer. Suma a esto el hecho de que bastantes series y tal son originalmente de habla inglesa (y a veces ni se traducen a tu lengua madre), lo que crea un fandom principalmente angloparlante.
Más allá de eso, también hay que tener en cuenta las diferencias culturales que surgen entre fandoms de distintos idiomas. Por ejemplo, durante mucho tiempo el fandom de Vocaloid angloparlante y el hispanohablante han chocado con respecto a temas como la piratería. En ocasiones es complicado manejar estas expectativas, y si sabes varios idiomas, peor incluso.
A mí me gustaría subir cositas en español y encontrar a gente que comparta mis gustos, pero en Tumblr en concreto es casi imposible. Tumblr ya es de por sí mucho más «nicho» en espacios hispanohablantes que otras RRSS como TikTok o Instagram, y si tus intereses no son muy populares, despídete.
La lingüística de los espacios de fans también está hipercentrada en el inglés. No es una pareja, es un ship; no es un universo alternativo, es un AU; no es destripar, es hacer spoiler, etc. Incluso las siglas: en español es LGTB, pero lo que sueles ver es LGBT. Parece una tontería, pero esta disonancia cognitiva hace que resulte muchísimo más complicado hablar en tu propio idioma en un fandom. Por no hablar de las innumerables referencias a posts o a memes... en inglés todo, por supuesto. Como te atrevas a hacer cualquier referencia cultural no inglesa, no te entiende nadie. Pierde la gracia.
Casi todo esto se puede achacar al imperialismo cultural estadounidense. El inglés es útil para comunicarse con gente de todo el mundo, pero su omnipresencia sirve de barrera para todos los demás idiomas. Quizás habría que reflexionar un poco sobre por qué coño el resto del mundo tiene que tragarse años de clases de inglés para hablar del juego que le gusta en una red social mientras muchos angloparlantes no se dignan ni a meter un texto en un traductor automático y prefieren pasar de largo.
one of the things that annoys me about attempts at transfem representation by non-transfem people is that it so rarely engages with our psychological & material worlds.
Like I would love to see art of trans women and transfem characters in stories & fanfic, but so often when folks attempt it, they produce really heinous caricatures. Or they're utterly flat characters/representations.
And the key to creating good representation really just boils down to listening to trans women talk about our experiences, taking the time to really think about how the world shapes us, and seeing us as full humans with rich interior lives. Which isn't necessarily easy if you've never done it before! But it's absolutely vital.
