Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

#Also I'm saying this as someone who actually watched quite a few of Somerton's videos #And noticed those patterns and stopped watching bc I recognised them from here #and had already learned to unlearn them after being so exposed to them here #And tbh I think anyone who hasn't had the luck or made the conscious choice to seek out ppl who pushed against those narratives #Would absolutely have fallen for this man's bullshit. Like let's not kid ourselves we see takes like this every day on this hellsite #2014 me would have. For sure.#This is next to the plagiarism issue which as Harris points out is an Internet wide issue and this includes tumblr #James Somerton #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #This brought to you by a conversation with my wife yesterday #So many ppl on here don't deserve to meme or be this self absolvingly critical of this man #The call is coming from inside the house #The man has a tumblr it would legit not surprise me if some of the things he supposedly made up himself he did actually get from somewhere #And that somewhere was a tumblr post

finished my refs for the siblings! plus an alt robeless pebbles

#rain world #looks to the moon #five pebbles #art #fish makes art #oh yeah some tidbits:#pebbles isnt as heavily rusted becasue his robe protects him and also theres no rain and he usually doesnt get directly snowed on #moon gets necklaces and other accessories from various slugcats and scavengers #i redesigned their feet; they can stand but not walk now #the patterns on their robes are based on the geometric patterns in the ancients murals #also every iterator design of mine now has the X symbol somewhere on their clothing

I just realized I NEVER shared this little mothman doll I made back in fall, he was a one day project and has moveable limbs plus removable neck fuzz! To weigh him down I used various small bells so he also jingles :)

#i may have the pattern somewhere if anyone is interested #sewing #plushies #handmade #mothman #cryptids #cryptidcore #moth #hand sewing #my projects #my art

I have a lot of scatterbrained design notes for each of them but generally I wanted them to look similar to their original designs but with different themes. I also imagine that they have the same inscribing tools as their original counterparts but just use them differently (i.e. Magnificus paints animals, Leshy takes pictures of people as they're dying/about to die, I'm not sure what the magic equivalent for P03 would be besides maybe a spellbook that copies the essence of things, and Grimora's quill would either "write" code or write directly onto the hardware of robots).

#i initially wanted to finish these for inscryptober but stuff got in the way #misc design notes erm #leshy's death design is inspired by the actual folklore leshy and the leshens from the witcher games #i remember reading somewhere that the folklore leshy incorporates animal bones and tree bark into his own body #so that's where the main inspiration came from #the markings on grimora are meant to be a combination of patterns on porcelain china and the patterns on motherboards #p03's components aren't actually attached to anything and just float around as needed #also its different functions are powered by the mox crystals in its body #magnificus already looks like a big fuzzy animal to me so i just leaned into that #he probably has a bunch of small animals living in his fur without him even realizing #magnificus #leshy #p03 #grimora #g0lly #inscryption #my art #scrybeswap

#Trektober Day 9, "Dress Uniform". Julian's missing his dress uniform in 'Move Along Home', but since the one we eventually see him in is pretty unflattering I choose to believe that Garak did a night visit months before 'Cardassians' and got too distracted to actually wake him up.

#trek #trektober #trektober2023 #julian bashir #jadzia dax #garak #ds9 #deep space nine #fashion stuff is more important than spy stuff #garak's love language is acts of service but his approach is maybe a problem #seriously that uniform was not a good Julian look #bad fit the shirt and jacket don't work together they just need a kindly lizard to redesign the thing #this starts a pattern of Julian missing clothes and assuming it's his ADHD but actually it's nighttime lizard visits to purge the wardrobe #and yet he keeps acquiring horrible clothes from somewhere so I'm assuming that Dax knows and thinks it's funny to keep going

just realized domi’s backpack & trent’s shirt are from the same brand and have the same design😂 they really are true soulmates

#true soulmates because they have the same odd taste in clothing & accessories #was looking at trent’s summer posts and felt like i’d seen that ugly pattern somewhere else before #at least they look good in it #trent alexander arnold #trent #dominik szoboszlai #szobo #liverpool fc #lfc

what if the space critters were invited to a ball/gala?

asking for next fic👀✨

FUNNY YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN BRAINROTTING FANCY FITS FOR SO LONG

They would absolutely go! for myriad of reasons such as: meeting new people, finding information, free food, making connections, free food, music and dance, free food-

#there's a pattern in there somewhere that reflects the artist as well #guess which one that is #Space Riders AU

had a random childhood memory come back to me out of nowhere to where i had one of those pillows for kids that doubled as a projector

^ this exact one to be specific

anyways, to anyone making OUAW human/modern aus, this is 100% one of kremy’s childhood toys, no doubt in my mind about it

#he’d have one stowed away somewhere in his bedroom #yes even as a grown ass man #it broke at one point bc of how old it is so he got gid to fix it #and gideon would somehow configure it to be able to switch between patterns #legends of avantris #once upon a witchlight #kremy lecroux #gideon coal

How do you get the fabric printed so beautifully? :O is it outsourced or is it something that can be done on a home printer? Or maybe you paint it by hand?!!?!

i do it myself at home!

it´s a bit more complicated than doing it with a regular printer but it´s doable. you basically need to fill a printer with a special ink and print it on special transfer paper. than put that paper into a heat press with the fabric so the pigment gets vaporized and pushed into the fibres!

makeshiftwings has a great tutorial about it on their website

#i don´t really talk about it a lot but i do fully design my patterns from scratch including the designs printed on the fabric #basically if it says “custom printed” in the product description i did it in studio #it´s more work than getting it printed somewhere else and i´m limited in sizes but it´s worth it for being able to controll my own quality #also i´m obsessed with printing on colorful fabrics instead of white whenever i can

This yoke seems to be coming along nicely... Only...

That's not the pattern

#knitting #wip #Sonder #Sweater #I made an oopsie somewhere #Honestly no one will know since the pattern I accidentally made also looks balanced

If he’s lookin for some thrills, ya hit him with the frills 🐠

#and now you say 🐠? that’s gills! you mean ❄️ and I say ❄️? that’s chills! you mean etc etc.#for the lore savvy I’m sorry to disappoint but this outfit was the questionably labeled women’s intimates my friend asked me to wear #they are perfect for me bc they are soft and vaguely audacious with the pattern and silly lil frills so he was right when he said as much 🥰#also for those wondering why the poppy background in some but not all I have a reason!#that side of the room was so disastrously messy I didn’t want to clean it so I put in more effort somewhere else to make up for it #this is what we in the business call procrastination babey!! hope this helps xoxo 💋#gpoy
