huh

Here's the Princess Mononoke comic I made for the @ghiblifanzine :) Been thinking a lot about how San found her place in the pack as a young half-human, half-wolf child and how her family loved her from the very beginning!

アカウント作り直したので過去絵中心にボチボチ更新していきます。

I have re-created my account.

My creator name is Nishiki Suzumori.

I will update mainly illustrations I have drawn in the past.

Typhlosion

May 25: Six years since the police murder of George Floyd rocked the world.

people in every queer and trans community i go to set an expectation: i should ofrever abandon my muslim past, i should explicitly stop associating yourself with it whatsoever, you either get to be queer or you either get to be raised-muslim.

in reality, there's no such expectation for christianity, and none of them are ready to dismantle their "inner christian" in their heads as much as they expect be to dismantle my "inner muslim"

none fo them get to admit how most first world countries are culturally christian, because christianity is "default" to them, as well as first world, as well as white.

me having a complicated relationship with islam doesn't mean i absolutely despise every piece of it. it means i distanced myself from ummah, but won't hear islamic criticism from non ex muslims at all, because you expect us to dismantle "our inner muslims" in ways you aren't ready to dismantle imperialism and racism in you.

your expectation is us "acting white", you don't want us unless we're that, which means you don't want us at all.

a lot of people claiming to want to uplift brown queer voices and such don't procced to do anything meaningful for them, or for brown people at all. it's just virtue signaling, homonationalism. you'd only care of brown people being queer, and you want the "brown" part of it gone as much as possible.

a lot of people say they want the leftist agenda to stop being us centric and imperialist, but then it's just pretending to care about it. you already made is so little and unhearable you'd have to get out of your way to seek for us speaking. then you'd not seek or if you find us, you will just pass by. hoping someone else would amplify the voice you took from us? and that someone else would hope for that too, so what?

you want us only when we agree with everything usa says about us, you want us until our lives don't put you into too much discomfort. when they put you into too much discomfort, you don't ask why, you'll restore the comfort by banishing us again. your tolerability of us is so intricately conditional, to meet those a third worlder has to build themselves into a first worlder mindset. this is your (inter)nationalism hey.

hey you who reposted it with your personal feelings and stories, you, the one who grew up muslim, in a muslim family. you, who grew you jewish, you who grew you crhistian in latam, who grew up hindu or any other confessional territorial group treated like dirt because you just feel that it's not actually about religion.

i saw your repost and your tags saying you relate, and it makes my heart sting as much as yours.

you who quit the religion and still can't stop catching rocks, because it has never been really about religion, i'm here and i'm here for YOU

you who have it complex in your head, way more complex that people expect it to be, i wanna hug you

i see what you all share, and please please please talk, don't shut up, because i won't either. you speaking to me and replying with understanding and relating is something dear to me, something worth not just quitting thinking it's useless to explain anything to the first world. i will overexplain so you can stand firmer and talk too, until you get the community and the sense of belonging you deserve.
