hi! i'm victoria, and i'm making this post for my girlfriend @charlottewashing! charlotte is my light & love, and i owe her so much for being a kind, amazing, supportive, and loving girlfriend!
the love of my life is trapped with abusive family that controls her life and safety, and i want to help her raise funds to get out of there sooner rather than later. she's planning on moving in with her best friend, but she needs some funds to help her get there. any amount of help would sincerely mean the world to me!
thank you so much for looking, and please consider sharing if you can't donate! π₯Ίπ
it does suck that the government defunded PBS but it's also so fucking funny that now that they don't take uncle sam's slavery dollars they're running videos like "How america's foundation was built on genocide"

We Must Infantilize Superman for the Greater Conservative Good
[Kryptonite Spectrum #5, this pic is not entirely related to anything, i just wanted baby Superman]
James Gunn's 2019 film Brightburn is often described as an "evil Superman horror movie". And that's not really accurate. It's an evil Superboy film. It pulls influence from the "evil children" horror trope popularized by films like The Omen, but with a superhero twist of course. Children are innocent and harmless, so we project purity onto them. The horror comes from how messed up it is to see children corrupted to the point of being the source of evil. It's unnatural.
But we also expect Superman to be good to the point of projecting a kind of moral purity onto him. Following this logic, it would be horrific to see Superman be evil, right? So why didn't Gunn make a film about an evil adult Superman? Well, for the same reason The Omen wouldn't be as spooky if it was about an adult Anti-Christ. Powerful, evil men are things we expect, they're natural. Not only has Evil Superman been explored from the comics to the DCAU's Justice Lords, to the Injustice universe- but characters like Homelander would debut from The Boys series in the same year Brightburn came out. You could even argue that more morally complex characters like Dr Manhattan from Watchmen serve as speculative cynical deconstructions of Superman-like figures.
The point is, evil Supermen are a dime-a-dozen. Of course we expect grown men to misuse great power. An evil Superboy has an innocence that preys on a primal, if not conservative fear; what if we can't control who our children become? What if no matter how hard you Kansas Parents(tm) your son, he'll turn out to be something Other than a good liberal Christian American?
One of my hottest transfeminist takes that I have is regarding drag and ballroom actually. Read the whole thing in depth instead of skimming it then getting mad at me.
I think that the US transfemme desire to disown drag/ballroom is a symptom of both white cultureβs destruction of ancestral ties and the importance of cultural continuity, and of the predominantly white ignorance of it as a gentrified Black art form similar to how whites treat other Black art. They want a destruction of it because they see the effects and results of the gentrified version and assume thatβs all there is/was.
In particular itβs frustrating because while some drag queens are cis, a lot are trans women, non-binary, or otherwise transmisogynized and drag/ballroom and the tipping culture associated with it existed in part because the transmisogynized are so fucking unemployable and it provided/s a method beyond mutual aid for the redistribution of money, through the labor of performance.
In relation to trans women, I view drag queens as a pathway to transness similar to crossdressers, femboys, (unfortunately) sissies, and similar - where although the perception of them currently may cause harm to the perception of trans women at large due to the ways they compromise with predominantly white cishetero society to allow transfemmes to explore their gender, they are, in fact, still functionally people within the spectrum of transfemininity even if they havenβt fully accepted their gender expansiveness for themselves. Harm they cause to the perception of transfemmes does not lessen them from that societal assignment, any less than we can say Caitlyn Jenner, Blair White, or Kelly Cadigan are less trans women because of the harm theyβve done to the perception of trans women. They are all, in effect, varying levels of transmisogynized whether they realize it or not.
When I was in DC I knew a lot of drag kings/queens and literally 95% of them are trans and either came to drag/ballroom as a way to explore their gender through art and/or make money bc poor, or started it and it was a gateway to unlocking their gender. Not counting the cis performers elevated by stuff like RuPaul, who is explicitly transphobic, I think I can count on my hands how many cis performers Iβve met. Hell, even with RuPaul shit a number of drag artists who have been on his shows later come out as trans (such as Bosco, who I literally grew up with), in part because they suppressed their transness publicly to maintain their career until they reached a point the blowback of coming out wound impact them less. Pulling a F1NNSTER to keep cash flowing for survival, if you will.
Iunno like. The earliest Balls we have records of were literally 1880-90s, predominantly Black (the oldest drag/ballroom performer we have records of was a Black trans woman from DC), and was one of the only safe places for trans people to exist as themselves. So I find the idea of writing it off due to a much more recent gentrification and commercialization of it as ignorant as how people often treat other demonizes or commercialized Black art.
βI just donβt like the spectacle it makes of transness and harm it causes-β
Baby all Blackness is spectacle to crackers and An Amount of modern drag is white people doing minstrelsy of all Black women - not in the sense of gender at all but in the sense of race.
Like. A lot of Black culture in the US specifically is Big and Loud *because* of the repression of it weβve faced and the force towards respectability politics, which has echoed to queer culture because queer culture in the US is made vast majority from Black culture. Our existence is a spectacle so why not make a show out of why they hate us and try to erase us so that they canβt get rid of even more.
Hating βthe spectacleβ of an actual performance art form is solidly rooted in white supremacy and white cultural notions of propriety/respectability. Many aspects of βspectacleβ seen in drag are directly taken from Ballroom or adapted from it/vogueing.
In summary: traditions are meant to change with situational, cultural, and environmental need but still be sustained as part of a culture. Gentrification is a poison to this that makes it harder for those the culture belongs to to practice it as it should. White ancestral shame is a poison that makes them think they should nuke everything historic/cultural that makes them uncomfortable regardless of whether itβs theirs or whether itβs something they stole and gentrified. Also yeag like,,, itβs a job/gig income predominantly for societal βundesirablesβ to make money when theyβre under/unemployed due to marginalization. And itβs also been gentrified to *gestures at RuPaul, et al.*
No matter what you think about drag or ballroom, poor predominantly racialized trans folks still gon be doing it because it is part of our culture no matter what tv shows and big names and people who have only seen those do to it, and itβs always going to be seen as one of the βdisreputableβ pathways to transness that makes other trans people look down on them because of the complicated ties to transmisogyny, because until someone publicly says the words βIm also a trans womanβ, WE also view them as a personification of what we fear the world sees us asβa man in a dressβrather than an egg finding their way to gender in a way we deem unacceptable because it doesnβt align with how we think it βshouldβ be done.
And I think thatβs on us honestly, not on them. If we say it can take as long or as quickly and as easily or messily for someone to sort out their gender as needed, this also has to be extended to the transmisogynized we view as βdisreputableβ regardless of if/when they reach a conclusion we deem acceptable or whether they die in the shell, never able to remove their masks fully.
Aight yall gon head and eviscerate me now
Also as a clarification, I am not saying that you, personally, must enjoy/like/do drag or ballroom. Im saying that drag, crossies, sissies, femboys, etc. are all transmisogyny paradoxes because of the way they interface gender exploration with surviving doing so in a transmisogynistic system by compromising for safety or a degree of acceptance within spaces theyβve found accept it.
Like, as an example, I *hate* sissies because of the racism endemic to sissy culture, but I still recognize theyβre transmisogynized regardless of the harm they do or the disgust I feel towards them.
I also had someone comment on it as a facet of US cultural imperialism, of which I do want to note - drag/ballroom based on Black origins was spreading outside the US back in the 1800s/early 1900s too, thereβs photos from other countries of balls explicitly influenced by Black Balls mainly started by Black folks in said countries, an example being early 1900s photos from France of both transmasculine and transfeminine Black people. While modern gentrified drag is 100% exported as part of US cultural imperialism, its original spreads outside of the US were via Black diaspora in-culture. I honestly couldnβt tell you definitively where it stuck and where it didnβt from that original wave, but itβs important to know it existed that way.
I have some physical books on this I might see if I can add to the archive tbh, if I can Iβll reblog this again with links.

The Welsh singer died in Portugal, her family said Thursday. She had been receiving treatment in the hospital for weeks.
Legendary pop singer Bonnie Tyler, best known for hits including βTotal Eclipse of the Heart,β has died after weeks in the hospital, her family said Thursday. She was 75.
βBonnieβs family and team are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly passed away last night in hospital in Portugal as a result of the illness that she was being treated for,β a statement said on her official social media accounts.
The raspy-voiced Welsh singer gained global popularity in the 1970s and 1980s for her power ballads including βHolding Out for a Heroβ and βItβs a Heartache.β
[...] βTotal Eclipse of the Heart,β came out in 1983 and made it to No. 1 on both the U.S. and U.K. charts. The bombastic ballad then became a karaoke anthem. It has had more than 1 billion streams, boosted by real eclipses in 2017 and 2024.
βI never get tired of singing it,β she once told BBC News. βI love it because everyone canβt wait to sing it.β
Tyler earned three Grammy nods, represented Britain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 and was awarded a medal of honor for her services to music by Queen Elizabeth II in 2023.
People who hate "blackwashing" have got to be pissed how much richer and more deep a character becomes when they're not white. Literally any other kind of POC turns that character into something so much more. Anyway I just saw that Hercules on Broadway is being played by a black man, and it hit much harder when he said he'd go anywhere to find where he belongs...
So why do you guys keep trying to steal our cultures then?
If being poc makes a character "so much more" why dont you make poc characters set in their own cultures. Why do you have to steal european and asian cultures, why blackwash those characters? Why not make aztec characters? Why not make south african characters, why not make indian characters. Why are you always riding the coat tails of european and asian cultures. Why do all the black characters have to be blackwashed versions of egyptians? Of celts? Of the norse? Of the slavs? The chinese the japanese or south east asians.
You can't say the characters have more meaning when they have a darker skin tone when everything about the character belongs to a race of a lighter skin tone. The cultures of europeans and asians are their own accomplishments, not black africans/african americans.
Also that last line there has aged so poorly in todays climate. Immigrants pouring into european countries and murdering and raping them. Perhaps where you belong is where you came from. Instead of appropriating our cultures you should go embrace your own because if theres one thing hercules would not do is he wouldnt do or support whatever the fuck you are doing.
Crackers dont have culture yawn!!!
"Immigrants pouring into european countries and murdering and raping them"
OK, so this is just blatant antiblackness, racism, bigotry and xenophobia. Everything else this person is saying also incorrect and offensive, but that sentiment is the core of what they really think
One more look at my Tucker picture, because I added some color high-lights!
Red Team! Plus Doc, Locus and my OC, Poppy!
This started with me wanting to draw a really nice Sarge face... which turned out better than I thought it would (all the shapes in the features look really solid). So I kept going, and because I'm a glutton for punishment, I had to pick tricky face-angles for some of them. Oh, and because I drew these on paper, I used a combination of colored pens/pencils blended, then added a little more high-lights in MS 3D Paint. I used mostly blues and greens (sorry, Sarge), then de-saturated it, before tinting it a warmer tone. Acceptably light-ish red now. Also, I love you Lopez, but I'm not good at drawing armor/helmets...
Sarge is looking forward, with a relaxed expression, and his head tilted slightly (I imagine him being very boxy, with a nose that's been broken a couple of times, a scar above his eyebrow from getting shot, and he still keeps the buzz-cut). Grif is leaning back against Simmons, his eyes closed and smiling contentedly (he's chubby, his double-chin visible, stubble around his jaw and chin, with long hair that is thick/curly and parted in the middle, the area around one eye a shade lighter than the rest of his skin). Simmons is cozy and close to Grif, looking down at him and smiling with affection (he has a defined curve to his nose, hair parted off-center and pulled back into a low ponytail. the left side of his face has cybernetics around his eye/jaw/chin). Donut and Doc are together. Donut is smiling big and bright, mid hair-flip like he's in a shampoo commercial (he has a scar around his right eye/ear from the grenade, and he keeps that side of his hair clipped short in an undercut, the other side flowing longer). Doc is tilting his head back on Donut's shoulder, smiling and giving a wink... which may be from O'Malley (he has a nose with a narrow bridge that is broader at the bottom, and short hair that is very curly). Locus has his head turned, with his eyes closed, with a peaceful and thoughtful expression (his hair has recovered it's more curly texture, a few strands loose at the top, the rest pulled back in a pony tail. the rest of his features are similar to his face reveal from the animated mini-series, but showing that some time has passed). Poppy, my OC, is posed as if she's turning around and glancing over her shoulder, smiling (she has long hair that is swept up across her shoulders, with bangs that frame her face. her features are round and solid)

Another Grif tattoo idea; at some point before he and Simmons get married, he asks for Simmons to write out his signature on some paper. Simmons jokes like- "What, are you gonna forge my signature for a phony will, then kill me?" and he knows that isn't it, but Grif keeps his idea a secret... until a little while later, after Grif has been spending some time with Kai, he just casually waits for Simmons to see him with his shirt off, and THERE IT IS. A tattoo of a heart-shape, sort of lop-sided, right over the area of his actual heart, which he got from Simmons. The outside of the heart has little dots that make a gradient. The inside of the heart is Simmons' signature of his name
Simmons finds that very sweet, but also? How is he supposed to compete with that! No fair doing the most romantic thing EVER, of all time, and Simmons can't even do something half that good! Grif tries to be all casual, reminding Simmons that "romance isn't a competition" (yes it is, and he's winning~). Sometimes just drawing on lined notebook paper helps me get through an art-block, so that's what I did for this picture (oh, and because I use whatever pens are handy, I actually used a couple of light/dark pink pens and shaded with regular pencil, then after scanning it, I adjusted the colors to be more golden-brown)
Description; a drawing of Grif, all in warm-brown tones, his torso/upper body the focus (his face and his legs below the waist aren't visible). He has his head tilted casually to one side, arms loosely bent, hands in the pockets of pajama pants. His body type is thick and very chubby, with strong muscles in his arms, and a large belly. He has body hair across his chest, his stomach, and his arms. He has scars from the surgery/skin-grafts, and some stretch-marks. His left arm is a lighter color than the rest of his body. He has a double-chin, and the small part of the bottom of his face has facial hair. His long hair is very wavy, falling across his shoulders. The heart tattoo with "Simmons" written inside it is on the left side of his chest, partially on the lighter skin, and partially on his darker skin
very correct tags from @autsidicksimmons thank you~
Sleepy hug time with the Blue Boys~
Is there actually room in Church's lap for Caboose? No, but that isn't going to stop him. Tucker just gets comfortable on Caboose's back, and now Church is "trapped". He definitely hates this
