Welcome!

happy pride month!! some aro ace Phantumps to celebrate!

ummm so… self-indulgent style study of my favorite FEH artist using my personal art blorbo… yeah :)

If you think "children should not be allowed in this space," you HAVE TO reckon with the fact that you are now excluding parents (and very often women specifically) who don't have access to childcare. You are isolating people who are poor, or rural, or single parents, or any number of other factors that might prevent someone from having on-demand childcare. You are cutting them off from being able to exist in public. You are denying parents and children the ability to fully participate in society.

My mom spent several years only leaving the house to buy groceries or take me to school, and even then, people would still come up to her to complain TO HER FACE about how she shouldn't bring a crying toddler to Walmart. Entitled strangers would literally try and demand that my mom leave and come back without the kids.

"Why can't your husband watch them?" Because he was at work, usually working extreme amounts of overtime so we didn't get evicted, because landlords don't like it when you stop paying rent.

"Why can't you send them to daycare?" Because that costs money.

"Why can't your teenager stay home with them and babysit?" Because I also deserved to be able to leave the house for something other than school, and taking me to the grocery store was how my mom taught me to manage a household budget, shop sales, and meal plan.

"Don't bring your kid in public if you can't CONTROL them and make them stop crying!" Kids cry when they're upset, and being dragged around a store is upsetting! Don't be an asshole! Children are human beings who are still learning how the world works, and they don't have a lot of agency. You'd cry, too.

"Spank them until they learn to stop crying!" That's just straight-up child abuse, Jesus Christ.

AHHHH!!!!! im very glad everyone seems to like it so far... part of me really was afraid people were going to read it and not give everything much thought and call it Pointless Despairslop but like u guys are goomyloid fans of course you get it. i Knew you'd Get It....

i cant wait to share hestia and demeter more... im very glad people like them and particularly liked hestia's... indifference? towards everything demeter did. i really wanted it to feel Eerie but almost comical in a way. like damn! they really are just walking puppets with organs that dont mean anything! Maybe this is not how life is meant to exist. anyway

now i can share some of the shitposts ive been drawing in my spare time because people will understand them
