Important Announcement:
April Fools Day (April 1) is one week away. To that end, I just want it known now, well before the day, that this blog will NOT be posting any jump scares, fake announcements, freak-out posts, fake hackings, fake emergencies, fake news, and “gotcha!” stuff on April Fools Day. We’re staying safe and chill around here.
I’m honestly not into April Fools Day, really, unless the jokes are obvious and silly–like Rickrolls and Dad Jokes. Rickrolls and Dad Jokes are just traditional.
is it just me or is “what will polygon do without brian” kind of a backhanded statement to make?? brian leaving is obv really bittersweet and unraveled has been a huge success for the channel but none of that was solely brian. the entire video team was a part of that success and pat, simone, jenna, josh are gonna continue making excellent videos. anyways make sure you support brian any way you can and continue to support polygon if you love their content!! it sucks that brian won’t be there anymore but I trust that the video team will continue to be great :))
Just so we’re clear
supporting Brian’s right to do whatever he wants in his career and understanding that he’s still going to continue making delightfully weird content
and
being sad that we’re not gonna get more of the specific weird content he produces on polygon and/or being unsettled by the change in general
aren’t contradictory, and
Polygon is a website with 5 other video producers who are still around doing their best to produce excellent content, and a lot of Brian’s content wouldn’t have been possible without them either
and
Polygon as a website has been severely under-utilising these other video producers and has been producing fewer and fewer of the kinds of video series the fanbase fell in love with, and have been leaning more heavily on Brian-led content, such that they’re going to have to make some significant changes if they’re going to maintain their popularity
aren’t mutually exclusive opinions either

Support autistic lesbians who are told they’re not valid because they’re autistic
Support autistic bi girls who are told they’re not valid because they’re autistic
Support autistic pan girls who are told they’re not valid because they’re autistic
Support trans girls who are told they’re not valid because they’re autistic
Support LGBT girls who constantly hear people tell them they’re not real because of their autism or they’re just confused or mistaken because of their autism. Being autistic doesn’t mean your sexuality and gender aren’t valid.

I want to address a pitfall I see some of the transmasc advocates fall into when attempting to defend transandrophobia.
Before I get into it, you're absolutely within your right to speak out about oppression and marginalization you face and define language to articulate how these things affect you, I am not criticizing these things when I speak on this.
But when I see the focus on transfems and trans women engaging in transandrophobic behavior, it sounds like the same gender essentialist arguments used against us. Even if you're rightfully criticizing someone for having extremely bigoted views, I don't think making it about their gender identity is helpful. Anyone can be harmful and pick up harmful mindsets. It just seems to make this cyclical argument of "no YOU'RE demonizing MY gender" when nobody's behavior should be reduced to what gender they identify as.
I know transandrophobes make it difficult for us to even communicate transandrophobic behavior by denying that it even exists, but we need to keep using it to solidify its place in vernacular and keep developing on it, making sure to stay away from gender essentialist and bio essentialist mindsets. Gender/bio essentialism is baked into our society, it's yet another internalized bias we need to unlearn. When we hold people accountable for their actions and harmful ideas they're spreading, we can't present that behavior as a result of their identity. It causes the same problems that we're trying to fight against and only weakens our platform.
I think there's discussion to be had when people use their identity as a shield from criticism, which should definitely be called out, but I can't see another justified reason to focus on someone's gender identity in relation to their bigotry.
Some advice on learning how to notice transmisogyny.
⚧️ Posts that imply that certain negative behaviors are unique to trans women. For example, claiming that trans women are uniquely transandrophobic (even though transandrophobia can be found in every community)
⚧️ Posts that imply that trans women are uniquely dangerous. For example, claiming that trans women get away with sexual assault because people are afraid to call her out for it
⚧️ Posts that treat trans women as a monolith. For example, implying that all trans women grew up on 4chan, or that all trans women treat trans men a certain way
⚧️ Posts that vaguely imply that a trans woman has done something evil. These posts will use word of mouth as "concrete" evidence for their claims, relying on the reader to jump to a transmisogynistic conclusion
yeah I mean I don't think I can add much more to this, just, use critical thinking and engage in being nuance pilled whenever you see takes online
HOLA GANG!!!!!!
I have three million assignments and a case of burnout! Awesome! BUT!! I rediscovered an old FNAF fanfiction I wrote when I was 12! And kind of want to post it, even though some parts are corny. It’s got a lot of good memories associated with it. It’s 2019 FNAF, so everything ended at FNAF 6.
It’s already written, so I just have to organise and post it, and it’s fresh so it’s much more fun! It should be alright to do :)
It’s… 326 pages long btw…
SHOULD I:
Context: DAT is my Poppy Playtime AU, but since Poppy Playtime is at a standstill right now, so am I.
The FNAF fanfic in question is like… Toy Chica finds a body in there - Spring Bonnie’s body after 30 years - except the guy seems to have two minds and starts turning violent…
In other words, TWO-SOUL SPRINGTRAP AU >:)))))
He’s accidentally gay with nightmare (Fredbear?) from fnaf 4, it makes lore sense trust me
HIII SMALLER BODIES!!! :3
Boy do I have news for you!
📣‼️ I have accessed a music distributor and can now publicly stream my music on Spotify, Apple Music and Instagram! ‼️📣
My name is qibsichan and I’ll appear as an artist account once the first release drops.
Speaking of that release, pre-save to Spotify now:
This contains two original character themes!
Kitty’s Lullaby
Puppy’s Sunrise
Both of them are 100% my composition and are inspired by the Minecraft and Undertale OSTs! 💚
They release this week as a two-pack with this as its cover:
HOORAY!!!!! <3
Edit:
IT’S OUT!!!!!! 💖
please vocally support the trans men/mascs in your lives
if you see someone say misandrist or transandrophobic shit, shut that shit down
i know it is so fucking difficult for us to voice our discomfort regarding those topics because we are afraid we will be told to shut the fuck up, to stop being misogynistic or transmisogynistic or whatever the fuck else to distract from the problem which is people feeling emboldened to freely voice these things that wound us even more than we've already been wounded by oppression and bigotry
shut that shit down whenever possible
make spaces that are safe for us to be in
it is so fucking important to do this right now
show us that you care about the feelings of the trans men/mascs in your life, show us that you value our safety, show us that we mean something to you, show us that you consider us human and deserving of basic human respect
dont let this hatred keep festering and driving us out or into the ground
Mr. Funky here or Funky demon (however you wanna call me)
I wanna say real quickly as a someone who doesn’t post much of their own content or posts. I wanna say rn as a trans male(questioning), I’m SO SO proud of you for being here right now. I’m so proud of you being the funky, rad person you are today. “But funky, I didn’t do much today or nothing much.” That’s ok! The fact you decided to be here with us is amazing and your gonna be ok. That fact you decided to keep going or seek help is wonderful. Or your recovering from SH or whatever it may be, your doing such a good job and keep going!
Trans, All fruits, autism and ADHDs, Systems and Fictives, Other abled, ethics, natives and so so much much more.
You are some the strongest people I know and Ik it’s hard being here now but I want you to know that you loved by Mr. Funky, by so many others. Please don’t stop fighting please.
Stay Funky💗🏳️⚧️
I’m spreading awareness about this, iv heard about the guy but I never knew about it. It’s seriously messed up to be a person like MB.
The link below is a word doc about a person called Mario Baca. This person has done horrible things including emotional ab//use and spewing out threats whenever he doesn’t get his way. As a result, he has caused his victims trauma and he gets away with it.
Please help spread this by reblogging so he can’t get away with this again.

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.
Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.
Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭
Just watched Looney Tunes The Day The Earth Blew Up and I really really enjoyed it! Gorgeous animation and super silly in character gags all the way through.
Also I gotta make this important point: LOVE how many specific types of credits they had for people at the end. It was great seeing all these artists properly recognized! Go check it out if you have a theater near you, ESPECIALLY if you were someone like me who was upset about the Coyote vs Acme movie being canned. It's a miracle this film was able to make it to theaters this time with an indie distribution company picking up the rights from warner brothers.
Attention Tumblr
So according to Eric Bauza, if you want to see this movie(coyote vs acme) finally come out
THIS movie has to make a shitload of money to convince Warner Bros to finally release it. Go see The Day The Earth Blew Up to save coyote vs acme
This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.
