🌸TERFs/ace and aro exclusionists/MAPs don't interact thanks🌸 Black lives matter, free Palestine.🍉 THIS BLOG CONTAINS NSFW CONTENT, not all of it is tagged! Marcy/Marsh, white, he/she/they. I’m 26 years old and happily taken🥰 My icon was made by aceuserboxes (they're deactivated now) and my header is made by KirstyCarter on deviantart. Also Myqueenmarceline on Ao3!
Hi there! My name's Marsh/Marcy and I'm 26. My pronouns are he (preferred)/she/they. I'm genderfluid and experimenting with them, so that list may change. I'm sapphic and don't really mind what else you want to call me. I'm also Canadian🇨🇦 and have a lovely fiancée I talk to in tags sometimes❤️
My tumblr has some NSFW content that is not all tagged and some politics. If either of those will be an issue feel free to just block. I'm not very interested in debating or arguing. A general summary is: I'm a leftist, I'm queer, and I believe in human rights and better social support systems for everyone. Trans rights are essential to fight for, especially those of trans women (and yes, transmisogyny is real!). We can (and should) free Palestine without being antisemitic.
I've fallen out of the habit of tagging reblogs, but if you need me to start doing so for something specific, please feel free to let me know!
I go by the same name on Ao3, feel free to go find all of my fanfic there, though it's also under the "my writing" tag along with original works :)
Lots of rambling about me and my personal interests under the cut. I hope you have fun scrolling my blog!😊
I love learning about many things in life, including literature, media studies, history, social science, psychology, biology, and geology. There isn't really a rhyme or reason to this blog, I'm just reblogging stuff I like. I especially love dinosaurs (especially sauropods), insects (especially beetles and pill bugs), dogs (especially Huskies, Borzoi, and Labs), reptiles (especially lizards and snakes), birds (especially chickens, cardinals, and jays), and minerals (quartz, amethyst, and turquoise).
I also love science-fiction, fantasy, and horror. I am fascinated by how people develop fictional worlds and mythos, and how we can read them through different critical lenses. It would take too long to list out my favourite authors, but the best book I've read this year is High Times in the Low Parliament by Kelly Robson.
My main fandoms are Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, The Owl House, Percy Jackson, Welcome to Night Vale, Person of Interest, the Alien movies, Otherside Picnic, Monstress (the comic), Mushishi, Dinosaur Sanctuary (please talk to me about this manga!!), and the Companion movie (2025)
If you're interested in my own tags, I mainly use #my writing and #my stuff to post stories. I use #ask to respond to asks, feel free to chat about anything! My face is under #my selfies and #my face, but I don't post those very often anymore.
I also create moodboards over @lgbtquiap-moodboards. I'm a bit behind but if you want to go check it out and send in any requests, feel free to do so!

“Inclusive community arts festival!” “Everybody welcome!” “Events for all!”
No access info for any of the venues
Box office is inaccessible
Google “[festival name] accessibility”; get info on their “accessible pricing” (pay £1 less if you want to). No mention of free tickets for essential carers
Do a lot of disability detective work; most venues don’t have wheelchair access
One claims to be accessible, look inside: “we’re an accessible venue. There are three steps to get in, but we can help you with those”.
people are going to annoy you and that’s not a reason to burn bridges or blow up relationships
some people will even annoy you often! some people aren’t good at social cues and will therefore be frequently annoying! still not a reason to blow everything up!
Sorry if this sounds a little dumb, but I don’t understand the difference between writing Black characters with intention vs just.. doing research and the applying it. A past post of yours with this question said to look at the FAQ, but I didn’t find the answer there
-Peri
Well, the entirety of my syllabus is a full explanation of creating with intent, and intent is not "versus" doing research and applying it!
Also,
"I wanted to challenge myself, using my amateur art skills and my teaching skills, to convey to creators how that makes us as a community feel, and little things they can do to more intentionally create their Black characters (and therefore show more care for their Black audience). There's more to us than adding to a diversity quota. There's more to antiracism than a checklist!"
-My FAQ
There's a difference between writing a character and just happening to make them Black, and Choosing to Write a Black Character. That is, one that is purposely, "I intentionally thought about the importance of the Blackness of this character as I wrote them, as well as the Black audience that will see them, and it shows".
Most of you don't do that. You write a Guy and go "I'll just say he's Black, boom I'm Progressive and Woke and Inclusive!" Meanwhile, it's a shell of a character that you will be angry at me for thinking could be better if you'd put a little more active thought into it, because How Dare You Question My Good Intent?!?
Or, you think "well what is the list of stereotypes so I can Not Do Them", as if racism and stereotypes were as simple as a checklist and not a deeply entrenched, long historied, systemic problem that checklists cannot solve! Because you can do all the "research" you want, but if you don't actually understand what you're looking at, WHY the things you're writing are stereotypical, and are just Frankensteining a Black together, it's still going to show. You're going to end up doing it anyway.

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”
— Bojack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg commenting on how weird gendered defaults in entertainment are, and why we should think twice about them. Excerpted from this longer original post.

do y’all remember usernames??? from back when every fuckin website didn’t need your email phone number home address social security number just to join/sign up for something?? when you could make website-specific accounts that weren’t linked to literally anything else??? they tried to boil us like a frog slowly switching to “username/email” and then just asking for your email. but I remember. I remember usernames.
