“ummmmm Ur Bra Strap Is Showing :/ ”

Not me working on a new chapter of my fanfiction (Historian Butterfly AU) and realizing that a completely different event should happen before everything I just wrote because it makes much more sense. So now I have an almost complete chapter that isn’t even the next one. Luckily I still have plans to post it, I just have to write an entire other chapter before I do. Also, no, I can’t just combine the events into one chapter. I like my chapters to have some sort of main event/theme and combining them would ruin the flow and honestly make the chapter SUPER long and feel a little janky. I love writing.

Happy Pride Month!!!

I decided to draw some of my oc’s whose stories I am currently working on for pride month. I should have started this sooner, but I do want to do more this month with more of my characters, so keep an eye out for them. I also want to fangirl about them. Let me know if you guys are curious about any of my characters because I am more than happy to share information about them!

Gwen (Left): Gwen is 19 years old and pansexual. She is a huge weeb. She spends a lot of time watching anime and playing video games. Gwen is pretty socially awkward, so she tends to spend more time with her 2 cats than actual people. She is an animal lover and works part time at an animal shelter. She is a complete disaster who constantly needed to be reminded to sleep and eat. She is also the main protagonist of the story that she is in.

Kiki (Right): Kiki is 20 years old and is a lesbian trans woman. She’s the responsible one of the relationship and is constantly trying to make sure that Gwen stays alive. She’s a little shy and insecure when it comes to affection, but luckily Gwen is good at breaking her out of her shell. She is currently studying to become a doctor and is constantly stressed. Kiki is the friend group’s mom, and enjoys watching shows with Gwen in her free time. She also likes to read mystery novels.

These two lovely ladies met when Kiki was looking for a roomate, while Gwen was trying to find a place to live that allowed pets close to the college. Long story short they ended up living together and Kiki caught feelings very quickly. Gwen ended up accidentally hearing Kiki talking to one of the cats about how big her crush on her was and after some shenanigans they got together!

I find it funny when queer fantasy stories are written in a setting where homophobia doesn't exist, but there's a ~forbidden romance~ element coming from some completely different, fantastical prejudice. Like

"Son, I don't care if you suck dick, but no child of mine will be sharing a bed with a goddamn necromancer!"

Same energy!

Doing another RWBY hatedom rant because people seemed to like the last one and I have more to say:

I absolutely despise it when people call Yang selfish and a terrible sister in Volume 9 when it came to Ruby’s struggles with her mental health. I have two main issues.

1. People seem to think that because Yang is Ruby’s big sister then she needs to always be at her beck and call. She can’t disagree with Ruby. She can’t let Ruby do things on her own. She can’t focus on herself or her happiness. She must always be focusing on Ruby. That’s not how relationships, especially sibling ones, work. People seem to think that Yang must sacrifice everything for Ruby and if she is anything less than that then she is a terrible sister. Do people forget how much Yang had given up for Ruby?! She raised her! She sacrificed her life for her! As soon as she was ready to went to go find Ruby in Volume 5 instead of her mom, which she had wanted to do for most of her life! I fully believe that if Raven didn’t have her portal semblance, which made finding/getting to Ruby MUCH easier, Yang would not have bothered. Yang loves her sister so much! But just because she’s a big sister does not mean that she isn’t allowed to struggle or focus on herself.

2. Here’s the big reason. As someone who has had to deal with a VERY similar experience in my life it absolutely infuriates me when people call Yang a terrible person and sister. I won’t go into too much detail because it’s not my place and I’d rather keep the information private but a couple years ago my sister hit a very low point mentally and it got very scary. (She’s doing much better now don’t worry). Here’s something that most people don’t realize when someone very close to you is going through something like Ruby did: You don’t tend to realize how bad it is. I knew that my sister had her struggles, but I genuinely thought she was doing alright. Afterwards I felt like such a terrible person because I wished that I noticed more and wished she had told me what was going on. This is exactly how Yang felt! She knew her sister was struggling, but didn’t realize just how bad Ruby’s mental state had gotten. She would try to comfort Ruby, not realizing that it was making it worse. She wished that Ruby had told her so that she could help her. It’s a really shitty situation to be in. This is on top of the fact that all of team RWBY were in a very stressful situation after having witnessed the fall of Atlas. I don’t think any of them were in great headspace’s, Ruby was just in a much worse place.

Honestly the entirety of Volume 9, in my opinion, was very realistic in its portrayal of mental health issues both as the person struggling with it and as the people around them. These situations are messy, complicated, and are never straightforward. Trying to treat it as anything else really shows that people don’t know what they’re talk about.

Yang is a good sister. She’s not perfect, but guess what? No one is! Remember we as an audience know so much more than the characters do. Just because characters don’t handle a situation perfectly doesn’t mean they’re garbage.
