On My Art

My art is not always very personal to me. Fan art that I've made can always be reblogged by anyone, and if you've been blocked but you want to reblog my fan art, just reach out to me (ideally at my email but twitter also works) and I'll be happy to come to an agreement. I am okay with fanart reposts as long as you get my permission first.My OC art is a lot more personal. Please do not approach me with interests to reblog that unless you are unblocked. Do not repost it.Unsolicited art requests will be done at my leisure. You can make those requests, but if you want art, your best bet is a commission. My art is for fun unless I'm being paid.I take commission requests through my work email ([email protected]) or through Tumblr DMs. All work is custom work, and rates are around $25/hour. Feel free to reach out to me.

Note: the tumblr button will take you to a page with all my tumblr blogs on it.

Do not interact if:
You are racist, transphobic, homophobic, biphobic, aphobic, nonbinary-phobic, anti-polyam, or anti-kink

Do not interact if:
you are racist
This includes if you "aren't racist but":
- you are anti BLM
- you believe that "black lives matter" is a hate group, or some form of hate speech
- you believe that gun control is more important than community self defense, and that groups like the Black Panthers' use of firearms in self defense is a bad thing.
- you think that the oppressed groups rioting is worse than state sponsored violence against members of those groups
- you think that "identity politics" are going to destroy the Left, and by that you mean anti-racism and not letting racist leftist leaders go unchallenged
- you think that there is only class struggle, no racial struggle, and racial struggle is a smokescreen to divert the underclass (go educate yourself. dumbass)
- you support eugenics in any wayyou are transphobic, homophobic, biphobic, panphobic, aphobic, nonbinary-phobic, anti-polyam, or anti-kinkThis includes if you "aren't x-phobic but:"
- you "do not believe in" any facet of my identity
- you believe that I am faking any part of my identity
- you believe that my identity is harmful to others
- you believe that my identity is "unnecessary" or "out of date", or that it should be replaced with a new identity or label
- you believe that any consensually-practiced sex act is harmful to those involved or people not involved. This includes gay sex, friends with benefits relationships, and one night stands; and kinks (including whatever kink you dislike: such as consensual nonconsent/"rapeplay", bondage, painplay, and age-regression/DDLG).This also includes you if you think that there is any place for gatekeeping on any identity in the Queer/LGBTQIA+ community. I don't care whether you understand certain identities, but if you think that telling people looking for community and support that they don't count because you decided so, you can see yourself out.
Exclusionism I don't take part in:
- mspec lesbian and gay man exclusionism
- "bi vs pan" label arguments
- aspec exclusionism, including intra-community shit. grayces and grayros and aplatonics are great
- literally whatever your "kick them out of the gay community" of the week is. i feel like this should be pretty straightforwards.
Furthermore, I don't like the idea that people who aren't part of some community are allowed to dictate what words people within those communities use to discuss their experiences and if you have a big issue with people trying to discuss their experiences by making up words then I'm going to probably block you. A short list of terms I'm not interested in seeing people call evil, but this is not all-encompassing:
- alloromantic and/or allosexual
- multispec and/or monospec
- transmisogyny and/or transandrophobia/transmisandry
- queer and/or MOGAI
-
you believe that fiction and reality have a one-to-one interaction OR you believe that fiction has no bearing on reality whatsoever.I am not an "anti-anti/proshipper," but when it comes down to it, my views align most easily with "proshippers" and I prefer to spend time in "proshipper" circles than "anti" circles (though I'd prefer to stay out of either).The short list of fiction opinions:
- fiction is not magically going to turn you into an abuser
- fiction about sexual violence is basically the same as fiction about non-sexual violence
- it is important to understand what the messages from your fiction are but that doesn't mean you are uncritically replacing your views with every new book you read or every new movie you watch
- fictional porn and/or violence does not hurt anyone and is therefore at worst only going to be a vector for potentially harmful ideas and never a source of active violence
- anyone can have any reason to read any book or engage with any other kind of media
- The only writing worth giving a shit about the readership of is media written to have a deliberately inflammatory political or social message. I use the word "deliberately" on purpose. Furthermore, I am a big believer in "knowing your enemy", meaning that (for example) as a Jew, I think it's important for people opposed to nazis and antisemites to read propaganda such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Mein Kampf specifically to understand what the nazis think so it can be more easily caught and countered.
- Information wants to be free, censorship is ineffective and dangerous, and the dominant social powers will always be the censors.The short list of interpersonal opinions:
- interpersonal "moral policing" enforced via violent harrassment is fucking terrible for everyone involved no matter what kind of moral policing is being done
- the kinds of fiction someone engages with is not a suitable moral crusade to even bother thinking about, let alone policing with the threat of ostracization and violence
- anti-style fandom policing and the "pedophile boogieman" makes fandom more unsafe for teens and shelters dangerous adults that know how to play the game
- anti-style fandom policing and fears about sexuality in fiction are driven by what is at its core deeply culturally conservative and outright false beliefs about people and society
- anti-style rhetoric as it stands is dangerously close to radical feminist rhetoric about porn and sex work, and is dangerous to real people.
- anti-style rhetoric has a direct body count. I do not want to be a body on the pile. I will do my best not to engage with or hang around people who hold to anti-style rhetoric because they are dangerous.
- The readers of media or fanfiction do not collectively have bodycounts per work, and writers of fiction not intended to be politically or socially inflammatory are not responsible for the actions of their readers anyway. I do not consider someone's reading habits to be a sign that they are dangerous, which is backed up by science, and so I don't care what people read.In my opinion the "proshipper" community is an inherently reactionary community and therefore can't really get it right, but the "anti" community is deeply damaging to everyone in and out of it. If you are an "anti" i am not the blogger for you, and if you are a hardline "proshipper" i am also not the blogger for you.
-
you are a radical feminist, consider yourself 'radfem-aligned', are 'gender critical' or otherwise platform radical feminist ideals in a positive light.This includes but is not limited to the idea that all men are evil and inherently abusive, the idea that females cannot consent to any sex with men, the idea that individuals want to be part of the LGBTQ+/Queer community to rape nonconsenting LGBTQ+/Queer individuals or force them to "let in the straights" and/or steal away the "good" LGBTQ+/Queer people and turn them into not what you personally want (ex: 'there are no more butches any more, now they're all being convinced trans men' and 'lol all these aces are convincing these poor lesbians they're ace instead'), and so on and so forth.
This also includes "trans-inclusive" radical feminists.
-
you believe that autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people are lesser than neurotypicals.This includes if you "aren't ableist, but:"
- you believe autistic people are "cringey" or "childish" for engaging with their special interests, or that people with ADHD are "cringey" or "childish" for engaging with their hyperfixations
- you do not "believe in" ADHD or Autism, or believe that they are "imaginary"
- you believe that Autism can be cured
- you believe that neurodivergent people should be eradicated from the population or not allowed to have children (eg: you believe in eugenics)
- you call people 'freak', 'smooth brain', 'psychopath', 'sociopath', 'psychotic' , 'narcissist', etc, when you really mean 'cruel and/or without compassion'
- you believe in "narcissist abuse" or believe that personality disorders make people inherently abusive
- you believe that people with personality disorders are inherently dangerous and need to be kept away from the general public and/or subjected to eugenecist measures to ensure that they will be eradicated
- you believe that empathy is the origin of morality
- you think that "weird people" (eg: furries, theater kids, whoever else is the piñata of the month) should be bullied into acting "normal" and that there is nothing wrong with that
-
you are antisemitic
- believe that Jews "need" to be converted to Christianity to be fulfilled, or otherwise need to become Christian for any reason other than if a Jewish person truly wants to convert to Christianity of their own accord
- reblog antisemitic memes "ironically" and are non-Jewish
- believe in antisemitic conspiracy theories such as the lizard person conspiracy, the various flavors of blood libel people like to promote, or that George Soros or other wealthy Jewish people with political opinions are controlling the Democratic or Republican parties
- you want to talk about is Israel and Palestine with me out of nowhere. There is no reason to discuss it with me in particular. I'm not Israeli or Palestinian and I live in America. We can discuss it if you really want, but I'd rather keep it private (and I'll probably just forward you toward actual Palestinians talking about their lives because I don't have a personal stake in it.) The only reason to bring I/P politics up to me unexpectedly is because I am Jewish, and this is antisemitic.
-
you are islamophobic
- believe in Islamophobic conspiracy theories such as the idea that all Muslims are terrorists or terrorist supporters, "Islamization", the idea that all Muslims are antisemitic, and so on
- claim that Islam is inherently harmful to women and therefore all Muslims must be converted to another religion or atheism and/or you are anti-hijab
- you use religious or religiously-charged words and phrases like "jihad", "Allah Akbar" or "Quran" as insults
-
you believe that any religion or belief system, including atheism, is superior to all other religions or belief systems, and you must convert anyone you meet to this belief system. I have nothing against atheists or religious people, but I do have a very strong dislike of having my veiws dictated to me. However, if you are an anti-theist (ie: you believe all religious practices are harmful even if you don't attempt to evangelize this view to strangers), you are not welcome here.
-
you hate my favorite characters or you like them in ways I don't agree with. This is so much just a personal thing, but I don't like seeing my favorite characters constantly bashed. honestly if you suck Megatron's giant robo-communist spike and think he never made any mistakes either this is probably not the blog for you but you can interact if you really like; my Megatron is a complicated fuckup with good ideas and also terrible ideas, and I like him that way. Likewise, I adore Darth Vader, but if you think he never made any mistakes I don't want to talk to you and if you think he was just born evil or something I also don't want to talk to you. I strongly like Getaway from ID2 2005 but obviously I don't think he was right to try and get Megatron killed; so on and so forth. My beloved characters are flawed people, and I will be annoyed if you pretend they didn't have any good or any evil in them. And I will block you.
-
If my content or writing makes you uncomfortable in a way that you cannot avoid by me tagging things, I would also ask that you avoid interaction with me. For my own sake and for yours, if I'm a blog you'd read to self-harm or to make yourself angry or sad or something, please just block me and move on.
A note: you are welcome to ask me to block you. I understand that sometimes self-control is at a premium and it's easier to have someone else take the avenues away for you.Side note: if you fall into these categories and you interact with me, I will figure it out, and I will block you. Good luck >:3

I am nonbinary, more specifically genderqueer (and/or maybe genderfluid?) and fluctuating between agender, androgynyous, neutrois, a few very esoteric genders that don't really have an associated presentation I can sum up easily, and masc-aligned. I tend to summarize this as "genderweird." I will always answer to they/them pronouns, and I use ne/nem, fuck/fucker and he/him pronouns at slightly different times. You can use them interchangeably unless I've specified one set or the other, but if i've specified the neopronouns and you aren't sure how to use them or are not comfortable with them, feel free to just use they/them.
If you don't understand how these pronouns work, this page will show them expanded and used in simple sentences..In terms of gender, it's obviously hard to explain being nonbinary in a language as limited as english, but I have a few of those. My "base state" as it were is genderless, and a lot of the time I don't have any gender. Sometimes I have a gender and it's "male, to the left". Sometimes this "leftness" is more intense than others. Sometimes it is upside down and/or inside out. Sometimes the gender is recursive boy-being-a-girl or girl-being-a-boy and sometimes the gender is recursive boy-being-a-girl-inside-a-girl-being-a-boy or boy-being-a-girl-being-a-boy or girl-being-a-boy-being-a-girl and yes, all of those are different experiences and yes, it gets more recursive from there. Sometimes I have two at once. Sometimes I have four at once! Sometimes my gender is red glitter (distinct from being male or female but certainly not without its own elements). Sometimes my gender is the number three. A lot of the time my gender is underscored by, like an emphasis mark, noncompliance to that gender, but like, how do you be gnc to being red glitter; thus my presentation is all over the place.
I'm not often aware of what my gender is until it comes up and then I have to think about it. I am often aware of my preferred presentation in the moment. That is completely different.I am also bisexual and pansexual (yes, at the same time, but I mostly call myself bi because it's shorter). However, my existence as a bi individual is a little weird because I am also acespec and aromantic to the best of my knowledge. I've kind of given up on labeling that any further. In general, though, whether I present myself as bi, bi aroallo or as completely aroace depends heavily on context and mood.I am, furthermore, polyamorous and a big proponent of relationship anarchy.I am also a dom and a sadist. This is important to my identity. I enjoy BDSM-related power dynamics in a non-sexual and sexual context, and likewise for my sadism. If you have a problem with kink, we won't be friends, and that's just how it is.

My online name is Red. This is fairly straightforwards. I joke that it's short for Redacted sometimes but it is not; it comes from the color. Before I went by Red alone, I was going by Red_Dragon on AO3, and it was an abbreviation of that that I adapted into a name.My fursona's name is Taz; this is also the name of a self insert character of mine. In furry contexts, I go by Taz. I'll also use this if there's another person who goes by Red in the space I'm in.I sometimes use Spider, but pretty much only when I am presenting in a very particular manner. I'll say when I want to be Spider, but to be honest I don't expect it to come up often.CJ is actually an abbreviation of my real-life name. I feel like CJ is a more respectable name than... like... my actual real life first name, which in fairness I'm keeping because it slaps, but like. CJ is a real life doing work in reality and being a real person name. I'll respond to it just fine but generally I don't use it in a fandom or internet-nonsense context. It's the name I'd give to a professor when they can't figure out how to say my damn name (except that my name on my student id is "Red" because no one can read my IRL name correctly somehow, so it isn't, actually).Ossifrage is another name I go by sometimes, although mostly because it sounds so fucking cool that I had to slap it down in my identity somewhere. It means bone eater and it's a kind of vulture. :) You can call me that if you want but I haven't really gotten anyone to use it for me before, so I may not answer to it immediately.

I have diagnosed ADHD.I probably also have depression. I think it's secondary depression from the ADHD.I think I also have C-PTSD.I think I also have some kind of cluster B thing going on. I don't know what but am leaning towards BPD. or Bipolar. Might be neither. Might be both. No idea. I'm so bad at introspection that I had to outsource this to multiple friends to even get some kind of scaffolding to work off of.
[slaps myself] "You can fit so little solid sense of self in this bad boy!"I'm sometimes suicidal. I will probably not commit suicide. Don't worry about it. Don't bring it up. If I'm talking about how suicidal I am I'm not going to commit suicide. If I were actively going to do a Die none of you would hear about it. :')
If I choose to commit suicide that's my right and you can't stop me.I think I'm a median plural system. Don't ask about that. I am way not confident enough to talk on that and I will refer to my headmates or people or whatever as "my characters" because i am not comfortable enough to even do that. I do not syscourse. I do not even really interact with the system community at large. I'm doing my thing in my corner and I will be left in peace.Sometimes I have mild visual hallucinations. More often, I have auditory/sensory hallucinations. I can pretty regularly tell these apart from reality but god is it alarming when I can't.If you read this page and you have questions like, don't ask them to me. I have more questions than answers.
If you read this page and you have advice, please give it to me. I'm fucking drowning over here and I barely have any idea what to do to get out.
