#bellemont's flags

finally got back into flag making and coining !!

blue-jeans femmes are femmes who dress casually- usually for work- and hunk-femmes are people who are both hunky and femme. hunk is the term for people who are or desire to be conventionally attractive and fit in a masculine way; meanwhile, femme is the queerly feminine counterpart to butch. butchfemme originates in ballroom culture, an underground scene made by and for black and latiné queers. femme was for anyone who saw themselves as queerly feminine.

also, if you find these on twitter and reddit under the @ goth punk gyaru / tirednstruggling and u/LuneTune23 respectively, those accs are me. any other DN/UN is absolutely not and i'd appreciate being told about it, so i can ask for credits. please do not harass people on my behalf though !!

mean lesbian

a reclamation of the "mean lesbian" stereotype and media trope; a misogynous and lesmisic assumption that lesbians are scorned women who turn to lesbianism as "revenge" against men in some way. the "mean lesbian" is "frigid", "bitchy", and generally off-put to men- almost always due to past trauma- and needs to be "fixed" in the narrative. while there is critique to be made about TERFs and transandromisia in the mean lesbian community, [my version of] Mean Lesbianism is inherently trans inclusive.

it can also be used similarly to "queer evils" stereotyping, where queer people (lesbians, in this case) are demonized as inherently abusive (usually sexually, but not always). "queer evils" plays into religious saneism and sex negative rhetoric such as purity culture, amatonormativity (nuclear family), and anti-kink. Mean Lesbianism can apply to working class struggles as well; ie, civil rights, workers rights, and feminism.

fuck it, we ball

Artqueer

“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”

an inclusive community term for Queers pushing against forced amatonormativity through exploration of complex, contradictory, and atypical gender, presentation, attraction, and/or relationships. respectability and presentability to the "normal"s are to be null and void. Artqueer is open to and accepting of all good faith queer labels and reclaimed transX terms, such as but not limited to:

chronosians

transspecies

xenogenders

neopronouns

he/him lesbians, she/her turians

lesboys, turigirls

straightbians, straighturians

mspec lesbians + turians

objectum, POSIC

ficto-attraction

Artqueer is also innately sex positive and Safe Sane Consensual (SSC) kink friendly. Queer history is vital to know, understand, and share amongst ourselves and others who are willing to learn; which includes sex and sexuality.

what Artqueer does not include, however, is radqueer, xenosatanist, and proship/profiction ideals or people who support those ideals. romanticism, fetishization, and de-stigma of abuse and sexual violence has never been and never will be Queer. labels and terms promoting pedophilia, zoophilia, necrophilia, incest, and sexual violence are inherently anti Artqueer.
