Welcome to radqueer fictionfolk confessions!-
This blog is meant to be a safe space for all manner of fictionfolk to talk about whatever they need to talk about-
Confessions involving NSFW topics such as drug use, violence, sex, etc are allowed and will be tagged appropriately-
Your confession does not have to revolve around the radqueer community, I'd just like to give people the option- y'know?-
This blog is run by @pup33b1t3z if anyone is curious-
I rejoined non-radqueer communities and it was genuinely the worst experience of my life-
I'm sorry RQ friends, I will never leave ever again-
Oh my god I forgot how genuinely hateful people can be-
I love being a seadweller. I splashed water on myself on accident and my first thought was "mmm. moisture."
A collection of trans2020alt tips since a lot I see aren't exactly helpful? (No shame to tip makers, I love you guys)
- Fashion
No matter what gender you are, you wanna dress more androgynous to any degree, a lot of 2020 alt era was exploring gender and what's comfortable, so it's very important that however you dress that it's still physically comfortable for you to wear
Staple points of 2020 fashion is; oversized shirts or sweaters with a skirt or shorts, tank top or tight shirt with oversized pants, patch pants, slip dresses, platform shoes, combat boots, and usually mismatched thigh high socks
A good idea is to learn to layer things, since a part of the fashion was layering everything together nicely, most of it you want your bottoms to poof out more thank your top or generally be very shape
- Accessories
You have that layering stuff down? GREAT, here's where it COUNTS.
Staple accessories; Kandi EVERYTHING, spiked bracelets and chokers, chains, belts, animal or mushroom hats, chest harnesses, fishnet tops and bottoms, leg warmers, gloves, garter belts, masks, corsets, pins, and patches
Things being over each other happened so much, the fishnets then thigh high socks and finally let warmers was something I saw so much it's burned into my brain/pos
Diy culture was also MASSIVE, if you wanted something you often just made it yourself, this is also why kandi became so popular. Adding safety pins and/or little chains to everything was very important. Learning how to sew and/or make patches is a very good way to start for anything
- Make-up
Alright, I'm guessing at least one of you was waiting for this
Everyone of all genders did at least a little make up, from so subtle you'd barely notice to so eccentric they look like a clown(/pos)
Staple makeup looks; dark or black lipstick, different colored lips, hair clips, lines at the corners of lips, fake bloody noses, eye bags, over exaggerated blush, large uses of eyeliner, lines over the noses
- Fandoms
If there's one thing that happened for SURE, it's that most people got into some fandom somewhere
Staple media; Dsmp, mha, homestuck, danganronpa, warrior cats, sanrio, monster high, my little pony, toilet bound hanako-kun, genshin impact, and more
Fan creations and cosplay was up so much holy shit
- Symbolism
Figure out how color works, a good portion of alt fashion is either mainly black with a few other colors or very bright and vibrant rainbows
Most of 2020 then was cute things like hello kitty and bows mixed with darker topics like poor mental health and horror
Comments of sleepless nights or self harm was far from rare, it was there every time. Especially since this was when everyone was locked inside all the time and people were more aware of bigoted things in the world
- Couldn't add it anywhere else
Energy drinks, just do it man
Irl and kinning, I think most people back then were some type of transcharacter
Wicca, even just taking pieces of it for your own beliefs, since a lot of people were that
Room decor; get those rainbow LED lights, posters up, a funky shaped mirror or two, a figure mayhaps
BIG reminder that 2020 was figuring out who you are and what you are, and remember what money you have, if you cannot do something comfortably or afford it, do not worry about it. It is about being out there and weird, that's it.
There's also a lot I didn't put in here, but that's for you to figure out if you like (or I literally just forgot it)
Radqueer selfshippers should come be my buddies
Feel free to use these- I made them myself and I am incredibly proud of them- (if you've seen them before on Discord- that's because I have a Discord-)
What about 2021/2020 do you connect most to?
The tiktok culture-
Specifically from the anime and cosplay community, which is where the glitchcore bunny hat kids were-
The strictness of what you were and were not allowed to do or be or say without getting called out appeals to me as an autistic person-
We weren't in the DSMP community at the time- I'm more transDSMPfan than anything but it feels so quintessentially 2021 that I connect with the community a great deal-
The fashion, the fun rooms, the music- that's what gives me the most dysphoria- along with not being able to cosplay due to money-
like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.
