Hi tumblr, long time no see. Here’s a doodle from twitter that I forgot to post here. Originally made it for ace day and then, to no one’s surprise, did not finish it in time 🖤🤍💜
[Image ID: A colored sketch from the waist up of Sam Bailey from The Sheridan Tapes and Jon Sims from The Magnus Archives. They are standing next to each other and smiling, both wrapped in an asexual flag. Sam is holding one corner with his arm slightly raised and Jon has his end draped over his own shoulder and arm. In the background there is a scribbled light blue square.
Sam is standing to the left. He has tan skin and short dark hair with a slightly longer fringe parted in the middle. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a purple collar. 3 small flag buttons are pinned to his shirt: the grey asexual flag, the bi flag and the trans flag. On his right hand he wears an ace ring.
Jon is a British-Indian person with dark wavy shoulder length hair, a few white strands frame his face. Half of it is tied up behind him. Jon has a beard, circular scars on his face and arms, a long thin scar on his neck and a larger one on his right hand. He is wearing a green jacket over a white t-shirt with 3 horizontal stripes in the colors of the bi flag across the chest. There is a circular pin with the nonbinary flag on his jacket and a black ring on his right hand. End ID]
revelations
The baddest of boys!! Wow I sure hope nothing bad happens to them
we've done it again folks
since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.
please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.
I love how inherently selfish both Glinda AND Elphaba are as protagonists. But where one gets praised and admired for it, the other gets demonised and hated.
People always attack Glinda’s decision not to runaway with Elphaba, but no one acknowledges how overtly selfish it is to ask that of someone.
although what Elphaba is asking of her is noble on paper, in practice it’s an incredibly selfish position to put Glinda in. By asking Glinda to stand with her in solidarity she is also asking Glinda to be ostracised and hated all throughout Oz when she knows full well how much being liked means’s to Glinda.
This traps Glinda is a lose-lose situation. If she agrees she loses everything, her family, friends, and future. If she refuses she is being complicit in injustice.
but on the other hand It’s a more selfish decision to refuse Elphaba request. To perpetuate corrupt beliefs you don’t believe; in order to be accepted and validated by people in power.
Although one of the options seems more ethically right, it is at the same time individually devastating. The conscious choice to willing ruin your life for things you believe in is a choice that only the strongest people can make. And we shouldn’t shame people when they choose themselves over ideals, because self preservation isn’t a thing to be ashamed of.
They’re BOTH in the wrong, for entirely different reasons. It was an impossible situation with no right answer. And thats why the scene works, neither is right or wrong. I’m sick of people acting like Glinda made the “ wrong choice ” as if they would go ruin their lives for their ideals.
The entire Internet towards Velma (2023):
