You Are Not Immune To Being An Asshole Just Because You're Marginalized By The Way.

au where jinx comes out as transmasc/nonbinary while vi is in jail, but vi becomes a transmasc he/him lesbian during that same time period. so when they meet up for the first time after all those years they're like

IT IS FUCKING AMAZING

you're so real for that!!!

the cait and glinda parallels…

Dear Anon, op was more respectful of their identities than you, know your place.

Also on changing characters' sexualities and gender for headcanon purposes, next you're gonna say im being heterophobic for shipping a straight character in a gay pairing.

Its the same logic, and sounds just as stupid.

Sometimes you just want to see your favourite thing in a different font, it doesn't take away from the original, it adds more things to love. Let characters be complex. Let people love characters in their own way.

How can you be a "transmasc Vi/Cait truther" (or whatever it is) and at the same time say that you love lesbian characters? Like you change the gender of canon lesbians to make yourself feel good about being trans, if you do that then I assume that you do not in fact love lesbian characters because you are unable to respect their identities without making them men (or attaching masculine labels onto them).

i absolutely love lesbian characters and i don’t usually attach masculine labels to caitvi. if you look at my posts, I’m usually referring to both of them with she/her pronouns, my fic about them used only she/her pronouns for both of them, etc.

however, butch lesbians exist. transmasc lesbians exist. i’m not doing this to make myself feel better about being trans (i’m genderfluid so idk), I’m doing it because it’s fun and because i can. i respect lesbians a lot. sounds to me like you’re the one who struggles to respect lesbians who don’t fit into your personal definition of what a lesbian has to be.

vi using she/her and he/him pronouns, caitlyn using he/him and they/them pronouns, that doesn’t make caitvi not a lesbian relationship. whatever your “lesbian purity” thing is that you’re trying to do here is kind of silly. at the end of the day, the labels we use are made up and they are as restrictive as we allow them to be. i don’t believe that gender and sexuality labels have to be restrictive, so i make caitvi he/him lesbians.

i hope you can enjoy your versions of characters and learn to let other people enjoy theirs.

Most underrated character I fear

arcane characters as warrior cats part 1: the piltovan council

i’ve been thinking about arcane characters as warrior cats recently, and i’ve come up with a bunch of lore for it. i’ve got plenty of characters already made, so here’s one of the groups! you may be wondering at this point, “saph, why not the main characters? this is weird as hell.” and to answer that, because i want to. so there.

piltover in the au i came up with is a clan called gildedclan. the clan has had to adapt to their territory being destroyed to build upper class neighborhoods. unable to retreat further into the forest lest they trespass on other clan territories, they’ve begun supplementing their hunting by taking advantage of the kindness of twolegs. they pretend to be kittypets when it serves them.

heimerdinger in the au is a runaway kittypet who teaches the others in gildedclan how to draw twolegs into feeding them or giving them food they can take back to the clan.

because of the way the clan operates, they don’t have a clan leader, which means no -star suffixes here. instead, they’ve formed a council that splits power evenly between themselves. this comes in handy because on occasion, the cats in the council will be mia for several days or even weeks at a time while cozying up to twolegs.

anyway, here’s the council!

mel- goldveil

cassandra- diamondleap

salo- cunningfang

hoskel- timbertail

heimerdinger

bolbok- goldengear

shoola- rustwisp

+ a bonus cat!

tobias- slatebreeze

I love big muscular femmes.

People always say she's a butch. She's not. She is very feminine.

She's extremely feminine and just built. And she's my favorite femme antagonist.

i live in the country that kills the most trans people per year, every year, and i'd still not set foot in your country

The whole "Oh look at Africa" is very often entirely made of racism, like, the homophobic laws are imported from Britain, it's remnants of colonisation from the very people who use it to justify an entire continent being more bigoted than they are. But guess who's to blame for a good chunk of it.?!

Most homophobic/transphobic legislation exists in former Commonwealth countries. homophobia is the Western hot commodity

I am fucking sick of cishet people telling me that queer people have it great in the US.

Trans people are no longer allowed to leave the country.

Being queer in public is being labeled as a sexual offense against children + the right is pushing for the death penalty regarding child sex offenders.

They literally want to kill us. Full stop. No, Dad, America is not better than "those African and Middle Eastern countries where you'd be stoned to death", the only difference is that we'll be doing our executions of gay and trans people with more bureaucracy and less rocks.

I'm 26, this isn't an age thing, you're struggling to understand the emotional issues with your post and you're an adult. Maturity doesn't immediately correlate to age, these childred as you so aggressively put are more polite and mature about interacting with others online than you are.

Also issues around empathy are common to many people with or without disorders, being super common in autistic people, this is ableist rhetoric, whether you want to or not you're being ableist. Do some research and learn some tact.

Tumblr doesn't have an algorithm, you see what you follow. it’s the internet, if it exists there's porn of it. Its puritanical to pretend we all weren't looking at the same shit when we were minors. Its just as bad to assume that they must be here, in the site that bans anything on the basis of being minimally erotic, for porn of all things. You don't want to talk to them then disengage and use your block function. Use your so called high ground for something useful and remove yourself from the situation if you think all that people need to reach your level is a handful of years.

I very much will be more preoccupied that you're being ableist and demeaning to someone that clearly doesn't deserve it.

PS: TOS age is 13 🙄

PPS: would you rather them be where? On twitter with all the nazis?

I can’t stand CaitVi

I’ll never like Caitlyn or her and Vi’s relationship. People like to say “oh you just can’t handle complex characters” or claim lesbophobia/misogyny when you criticize their ship or Caitlyn as a character. Like no bitch I just don’t like her as a person and think Vi, despite her mistakes and wrongdoings, deserves way better than Caitlyn 😭 also I am a lesbian so wtf

Also I raise you this:

Caitlyn is not a complex character at all. Maybe in season one she was, cuz you had to dig a little deep and really pay attention to understand her motivations and what drives her to act the way she does and make the choices she makes.

But in season two, however, it not hard to understand why she did what she did. I know why she gassed parts of Zaun and why she went after Jinx, and I don’t like her!

One thing I don’t understand is why Caitlyn hit Vi after Vi didn’t let her take the shot. That’s the main thing that makes me a Caitlyn/CaitVi hater. To me, Caitlyn had no logical reason to hit Vi that would’ve made me go “ohhh okay, I understand”.

People like to justify Caitlyn hitting Vi by saying “it was one time, it’s not abuse!” As if they wouldn’t leave their partner if they were hit, even if it was once. As if they wouldn’t be encouraged to leave the partner who hit them.

Saying “she was frustrated, she was upset” is still completely fucked because what happens when she gets frustrated again? Is she gonna resort to physical violence once more? People who hit others when they’re frustrated fall into a pattern of doing that when there’s no one to stop them, don’t they? 

I get that her mom died but come on, girl. She was raised with damn near all the tools one could need for processing her emotions, and in this moment, she chooses to hit the woman she supposedly loves in the stomach with the back of her gun. And her dick riders will still say that CaitVi isn’t oppressor x oppressed, like oh okay!

Vi put on the uniform of the people that killed her parents, threw her and jail and oppressed her people for years and Caitlyn never took off the uniform for Vi, but it’s not oppressor x oppressed? Vi never raised her hand against Caitlyn once, not even when she was frustrated, and Caitlyn seemed perfectly okay with hitting Vi, what, three times, but they’re not oppressor x oppressed? Caitlyn also threw that boat in Vi’s general direction the second Vi said something she didn’t like, but y’all like to gloss over that because it’s something small. Idk about y’all but I don’t throw things at people I love when I get mad!

And then, you know what really takes the cake for me? The fact that Caitlyn apologized for/brought up sleeping with Maddie out of all the fucking things in the world. She didn’t apologize for hitting her or leaving her, just for sleeping with Maddie. Does none of that other shit matter to her?? Idk I just thought that was fucked. I think their whole relationship is fucked, and I think the only reason they’re even together is because Cait was the first person to show her kindness in a long time and she got attached. Add on the fact that they went through something traumatic together that brought them closer and there ya go, there’s CaitVi. I’m sure there was real love there at some point, and they were physically attracted to each other but idk, after Caitlyn asked Vi to become and enforcer knowing that those people killed her parents and practically ruined her life, that made it clear to me that Caitlyn no longer cared that much about Vi and was more focused on what Vi could do for her.

And don’t even get me started on that godforsaken jail sex scene. That was beyond gross and inappropriate for the context of the whole situation, AND considering Vi’s history with prison cells. Genuinely what the fuck.

So yeah. I heavily dislike CaitVi, don’t like Caitlyn either. TimeBomb has my heart, I fear (I am well aware of their flaws so don’t be in my comments talking about how they beat each other up. I know. At least it was mutual and at least they had a reason to be fighting. Just saying!)
