This fawn and bobcat were found in an office together, cuddling under a desk after a forest fire

Look at what cool stories you get when you source things.

it's actually kind of shocking and appalling to me how controlling the plural/system community can be towards other people's systems, and it's amazing to me that no one in the community talks about it. "littles aren't allowed to do this" "you can't treat your headmates like that because it's abuse" "you cant be a system, where's your trauma?" "locking away headmates is always bad no matter what, even if they REALLY hurt you or others, why dont you just talk to them?" like god damn. you believe that someone has the right to be recognized as a system, but you can't be fucked to give them any sort of bodily autonomy?? why?? because your headmates personally would dislike that treatment?? cool, your headmates are not my headtoys, and i would like to manage my own headtoys without the input of a literal stranger who just happens to share symptoms with me

“The trouble about fighting for human freedom is that you have to spend much of your life defending sons-of-bitches; for oppressive laws are always aimed at them originally, and oppression must be stopped in the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.” - H.L. Mencken

i actually do think you should draw clocky trans people. no i don’t think they’re a stereotype or caricature. i think that’s a horrible thing to say about real people who exist. i think that’s a horrible thing to say about my friends and my family. i want to see your art of a trans boy with curves and long hair and baby face because that’s me. i want to see your art of a tall trans girl with broad shoulders and facial hair because that’s my friend. stop being scared to draw the people you know.

“I’m not going to draw a clocky trans woman because that’s how TERFs draw them” i don’t think my friends should be forced to only see themselves in artwork made my TERFs and transphobes. They should get to see themselves lovingly drawn by other trans people.
