wlw positivity post “we need more appreciation for hairy and fat lesbians”
stupid comments “omg just say butch” “that’s what butch ment before people ruined it”
are femmes not allowed to be hairy or fat? 🤔
like, as a femme who’s struggled with my physical appearance, it really fucking sucks when people say my body type is “butch”
butch and femme are not body types. they’re appearances, personalities, styles, traits, roles, sexual positions, and more. but there is no physical requirement on who can be butch or femme.
entomologists are the most fucking wild people ive ever met
i pointed out a cool wasp to one and she just picked it up with her bare hands and started showing me different features she was using to identify the species
on a walk with another one he just paused, turned, violently shoved his hand into some rotting wood and offered me a tunnel web spider like oh okay i guess-
when i was in college i did larp shit and one of the guys in the group was an entomology student and i once watched him drop directly to a plank position in the middle of a swordfight to look at a moth on the ground
I think saying “oh fantasy fiction is all kinds of reactionary because people didn’t get the right lessons from Tolkien” is kinda putting a little too much emphasis on Tolkien. like, it’s probably more due to the influence of Romanticism, right? that incredibly influential ideological and aesthetic movement that straight-up said “the middle ages were better because it was an innocent time before science and reason and secularism,” I feel like that was probably a bigger part of this discussion than a singular dork
