Not to be rude but a lot of white lesbians on here will see an attractive white(and especially if they're skinny, conventionally attractive, cis, and feminine) woman and go "omg she's so pretty and gorgeous and elegant, gosh, why are women so beautiful! I want her to hold me and hug me and kiss me!" but the second you see an attractive non-white woman(especially if they are fat, trans, dark-skinned, or butch, but lbr y'all do this to femmes of color as well due to how masculinized we are), suddenly y'all's brains short-circuit and you don't know how to complement us without depriving us of our humanity because you still internalized the idea that woc are wild impure animals and so out comes the "omg I want her to step on me and choke me and slap me across the face and make me her slave!!!" and y'all think it's okay because you're making yourself "subservient" to us but really all you're doing is reinforcing harmful stereotypes of woc as more aggressive, sexual, violent, inhumane, and less feminine, sweet, loving, and/or gentle than white women, and you guys think it's a compliment but it's really fucking not and I'm here to tell you that being a lesbian doesn't invalidate your white privilege if you talk about and fetishize lesbian woc this way. 😡

Sometimes I think back to when I first realized I was a lesbian and how all the blossoms in my stomach bloomed and the petals flew around everywhere and I feel giddy and happy. And I feel the petals flying in my stomach all over again. It’s such a wonderful feeling. 

omg i lost all all fellow black lesbian blogs i was following before tumblr bopped violettfae into the ether

can we have a tattoo tour🤗

okay I’m gonna show the ones that like are the most visible in passing/photos and stuff, I have 16 but some of them I don’t wanna share rn 🫶🏽💗

so top left is bean, the mushroom. they just are a dancing lil thing - no problems! (done with a tat gun) the top right I god after I watched Elvira: mistress of the dark and also death note. but the overall design is inspired by Elvira (stick n poke)

then bottom left the one by my shoulder was a spray on I did for that night lol. But the rabbit is inspired by the matrix “follow the white rabbit”, my mom made me and my sibling watch the matrix when we were young so it’s always been very special. and it’s still one of my top 5 films!! under that is my little beetle with a heart in the middle and it’s inspired by kafka’s the metamorphosis. I know he turns into a roach but I didn’t want a roach so I made it something more gentle (a beetle) and the crater on his back — I made a heart because what I carry even if it’s trauma will be resolved by love. (both stick n poke).

and bottom right, my hands (old picture), the small tattoos are pretty self explanatory and just for fun. the words on my wrists are “suspiriorum and tenebrarum” inspired by “suspiria” by guadinino (2018) and the meanings to me are too long to explain lol. (stick n poke)

personal post:

okay so like, i'm about to get super personal on here in terms of like dating, and romance so if you don't like those topics just scroll along.

but tbh, im just painfully sad and i feel really hopeless. i have only really had real, honest feelings for one person in my life and i saw a future with her and she said she wasn't ready to commit her time to a relationship.

it hurts so much because she was so perfect and i had a lot of respect for her, and she was amazing for communicating her feelings and being honest with me.

to top it off, i haven't been in a relationship my whole life, or kissed anyone, guys haven't found me attractive, and still don't which shouldn't matter as a lesbian, but unfortunately, because of social conditioning, as a woman i care about it so much.

and to make things worse, i thought sapphic women would be way more accepting and better than men, but it turns out their standards are just like men's. the fatphobia, the superficiality, and the pure racism just makes it worse.

as a black woman, whose bigger than the conventional standard of attractiveness, and as a femme black woman, i am masculinised by both white and black men, white women and white sapphic women/afab people. it feels like black women are always pushed out of femininity, especially by white counterparts.

because of the fact that i have been single my whole life AND the issues in both heterosexual and sapphic spaces, i just don't feel loveable, pretty, sexy or feminine enough, and my loneliness and low self esteem have just been amplified because of it.

it makes me want to cry because i so badly want to be perceived as feminine and sexy as i feel sometimes on the inside and it just feels like it may never be the case. despite the fact i am a cis woman, i do experience a level of gender dysphoria because i feel as though i'm constantly not perceived to be feminine enough for both men and sapphic women and afab people.

i have felt this way for a really long time and i've never really known how to put it into words until now tbh. i guess i wish i felt confident enough to do and be who i feel i am on the inside, and i wish people saw the femme side in me that i see in myself...

it's got to the point in terms of dating where i have people blocked and i've unfollowed, not because they are bad people but because they are so beautiful and everyone sees their femininity and most if not all are in an ideal relationship with my ideal dynamic (if you know me you know that soft butch/masc/studs are my typeee, unfortunately for most of them i've had experiences where they don't see me the same way).

it's almost really emotionally triggering for me, because it just continually amplifies my feelings of loneliness and undesirability in regards to how others have felt about me my whole life, and how i feel about myself. i want to be able to see that stuff and not be affected, but fuck, its so hard..

anyways, thats my rant i guess, if you got to the end, thank you💕💕

Where are the tall (5’9 and up) studs at???

Femme sub with acrylics who cant finger themselves with their nails on but they're lucky to have such a sweet butch who'll finger the femme and make them cum harder than if they do it themselves, so they make sure to always wear nails so their butch can be the one to finger them!

Anyway normalize Black women and girls being cute, bubbly, girly, innocent, wearing pastels/Lolita/cottagecore/other girly styles, being soft and vulnerable, being into cute/childish things like stuffed animals and dolls, and other stuff that people tell Black women that we're "not allowed/able" to be or else we're "acting white". Destroy the idea that Black women can only be loud, sassy, aggressive, masculine, or overly sexual. Ik everybody else has said this but idfc it needs repeating. Let us be whatever the hell we want to be. 💖

love a black fem today love a black fem tomorrow LOVE A BLACK FEM FOREVER

I need people to stop acting like studs are so aggressive and mean or are basically men. You’re racist and misogynistic. Studs are literally some of the sweetest people on the planet and have always acted as protectors of our community, It’s time we protect them back. This includes trans women/trans fems who identify as studs!!!

TERFS FUCK OFF
