This is a blog run by Cor (she/him/purr/purrs/purrself), Lee's extremely dedicated partner and loyal puppy. We are soulbonded and take our relationship very seriously (when we're not causing chaotic antics). Say anything bad about my gorgeous entity and I will chew on you. You can find Lee's blog @briaroseships. Fog (he/she/them/its) will sometimes make an appearance on here as well.

Firstly, I am not afraid to curate my own space, and block p.roshippers and minors on sight. If your blog is focused on H.azbin H.otel I will block you for my own comfort. I'm aroace and plural (endo friendly!) and will block people who are weird or negative about this. I do post horny thoughts on main, so please block that tag if you're not into that sort of thing (no shame!).
I am a proud heretic (ex Catholic), and one of the main ships I share with @briaroseships is with Satan himself/herself. I do not think Catholics or Christians are inherently bad people, but I'm sorry, if your entire selfship is focused on being heterosexual and godly, you push purity culture, or you dictate in your DNI that people must act in accordance with your religion, I will absolutely block you. Satan bless.
I sometimes discuss sensitive subjects (properly tagged and never romanticized) such as sexual and physical abuse, including CSA, and religious trauma. I care about you, so please be safe and block these tags if need be. 💗

Happy Women's Day! To celebrate I recreated Leona's bedroom in MakeRoom.
Leona's room was just next door, a modest pink room with stickers on the walls and a bunk bed set over a desk. The wood was white with the occasional nick here and there, the top containing a personalized and plugged in laptop in the center with a stuffed animal in one corner and a colorful pencil holder in the other. The drawers were full of craft supplies and notebooks, including Leona's diary, which I didn't dare read, though doubted I could, considering a small peak only revealed blank pages. There was also an entire drawer dedicated to attempts at origami animals.

As someone who is learning to decenter myself more, and have started to notice how many people treat posts on the internet as specifically about them and their experiences:
No, trans men, nonbinary folk, and genderfluid, or similar individuals, are not "derailing" or "forcing" anyone to do anything when they, in their own posts, express how frustrating it is to grow up with staples like "girl nights out", "girly sleepovers", etc. only to suddenly be uninvited to these things after they learn they identify as something else later in life. Either that or they are invited, but it requires they allow themselves to be treated and viewed as a woman or referred to as "basically a woman", even if they do not identify as such.
And no, they are not saying you, a complete stranger on the internet, must allow them into your girl only activities or groups, nor does this mean these things can't be important to your specific experience with "girlhood". They're talking about an overall social trend that insists everything must be gendered that makes things difficult for trans people that aren't gender conforming, expressing how this has shown up in their day to day life.
As a genderfluid person, it's weird as Hell it feels like I have to treat myself as a woman, even if I do not identify as such at the time, just so I can chill with peers for a cute sleepover or to paint our nails or have deep emotional talks. It's confusing how activities are viewed with gender identity, equating the two. It's difficult to both prioritize my own comfort yet also be invited to anything because of how much people gender things.
However, I do think there is something to be said about how it feels like it's always the girl side of the equation that's being discussed, and not "boys night out" or "watching the games with the boys" or "going out for a drink with the boys", which all have the same problems. This is important to note because "girly things" have actively faced a lot more criticism over the years, and, in this instance, the trend of just gendering things all the time, in general, is the issue, not just specifically gendering them as "girl things". Even if you are specifically being uninvited to a girly slumber party, the idea that men don't go to girly slumber parties, they get a beer and watch the game, and insisting on forcing those who don't adhere to a gender or one gender into a specific part of the binary, contribute to this happening just as much.
Also, yes, there is a point where it is derailing and it is centering yourself. It is 100% not your place to judge the personal practices of strangers on the internet, and you have no idea why someone may call something a "girls night out", nor is them wanting to have a girls night out with their friends that identify as women or do not mind this term actively hurting anyone. Same goes for someone wanting to "hang with the boys" when referring to people who identify as boys or don't mind the label.
As with everything, it is nuanced and not always about you, but this goes both ways. No, a stranger on the internet does not have to call their "girl night" or "boy night" something different just because it makes you personally feel left out, again, you are literal strangers, but trans individuals that don't identify as women expressing a desire for the people in their life to stop gendering things so much is not the "attack on girlhood" I see people making it out to be.
Yes, this! As a bigender person who absolutely longs for the girly sleepovers and things when I identify as a woman, this being a part of my girlhood and longing for this as a transgender woman doesn't make other transgender people evil for just wanting to be included in a way that makes them comfortable. You can have your girl nights just for the ones that identify as a girl for when you want to have that specific experience and your genderneutral ones. The idea of "girls should always only hang with other girls!" even when inviting in trans woman is outdated and not a helpful one.
If I, a transgender woman, do not want to have to identify as a man or referred to as a man just to watch the game with friends, people should not have to identify as a woman to paint their nails and do things viewed as girly.
I also find this idea so weird and tied into this idea that women must be a certain way, because it sets such unrealistic expectations for what actual women are like. Yes, I know plenty of fellow women that enjoy makeup, dresses, plushies, and things viewed as feminine, but I also know women who love sports, physical activity, or going out for a drink, and I know plenty that are a mixture of both. Not everything associated with traditional "girlhood" is going to be satisfying to every woman. In the same vein, I know men who are exactly the same. So my "girl nights" are me and the girls doing stuff together, not specifically activities traditionally associated with that word.
As you said, it's other people's business how they define their own "girl night" and "boy night", but when it comes to figuring out how to include your trans friends, I think it's important to deconstruct this idea that girls and boys do specific things, and focus more on the activities themselves over trying to put the girl or boy label on it.
I'm dropping all my TADC F/Os, considering the overall situation and pattern of anti-blackness from the people involved in the project. I also just won't be talking about that show or participating in the fandom moving forward.
Please look into the actual situation yourself, but if you feel the need to defend them, you need to reflect on that. Your first instinct to accidentally saying a slur (a name was misunderstood) should be "Oh God, I am so sorry, it won't happen again", not to laugh about it and repeat the word. They never gave a proper apology and there's a clear pattern of behavior here that can't be ignored.
Black fans are not ruining anything for you, they are understandably upset that the individuals involved have not properly reflected and improved.
Seconded. Literally no one forced these two individuals to make light of the N word, they did that of their own free will. Literally no one forced Goose to recontextualize "Isn't She Lovely" to be about her white OC. Yes, it is "not that deep" in the sense that it is weird to defend these people for the sake of your favorite show instead of caring more about black fans.

Haven't posted here in a very long time, so it's special interest posting time.
I do agree that there's plenty of people that don't actually sit with what a work is trying to say, and therefore, refuse to engage with what a villain represents, but it's frustrating that people like me that just aren't convinced by poor writing are automatically assumed to be in that crowd.
The way I respond to most villains nowadays is because the ground work just isn't being put in. I miss when being complete and utter scum was actually an inherent part of a character's philosphy, motivations, and behavior, instead of something just bestowed upon them when it was most convenient for the plot, or simply because of their title as a villain. I engage with what these characters represent, but I am not impressed nor convinced with the execution.
It's wild watching old D.isney princess movies, seeing them understand and execute this concept brilliantly, while more modern works intended to be darker struggle with it. I get what people mean now when they talk about how D.isney villains in recent years have sucked.
I miss when, unless it was supposed to be a very grounded work, fictional murder was not used as a short hand for "abusive jerk" and characters were actually developed beyond this. Same goes for being a technical criminal.
I also miss when people enjoyed nuanced villains and anti heroes as characters that could have become different people in different circumstances instead of insisting we have to treat them like irredeemable monsters, and can never write about them going down a different path in life ever.
I also also miss the days when not every villain was a horrific abuser. I miss when it felt like villains could just be goofy and enjoyed this way too, with creators being very good at signaling to their audience which villain they were getting. I love both, but I want both to be present, you know? Now it feels like, if you enjoy a goofy villain, you constantly have to worry the creator is going to decide to make them horrific if the show or movie is intended for adults.
I hate that H.ans from F.rozen has become the expected way to treat villains nowadays. But also, I do think fandom needs to...hm, how to put this? Chill the fuck out and stop treating every creative work as something intended to be taken with the utmost seriousness. Especially when the creatives behind it themselves do not take it that seriously either.
Me, specifically? Only this one and another one I run with Queen and Lee. The others belong to Lee and they're not really active, more of there's a reblog one then some others that are for specific topics.
If you tell neurodivergent people they need to "get comfortable with being uncomfortable" I am putting gravel in your shoes. No you can't take the gravel out. You have to deal with it. Dealing with it makes you a better person. What do you mean "pointless suffering".
