(Spoilers for The Book of Bill and Thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com)
I know we've all been having a lot of fun with the idea that Bill and Ford are bitter-exes-coded, but I just can't ignore the less fun, more sad interpretation. Ford's entries in BoB read so much like someone recovering from an abusive relationship- the fear that they will reenter your life, the desperate attempts to keep them away from your loved ones, the relief at realizing they don't have power over you anymore. He didn't tell anyone about it because he was ashamed at himself for being taken advantage of! He blamed himself! And then of course, there's this bit from the website:
And as much as I enjoy the shitposts, I just want to take a moment to appreciate this really heartwarming story Alex is telling about Ford's healing from what Bill did to him. And seeing Stan, Dipper, and Mabel supporting him in this makes me so emotional 🥹 He thought Bill took everything from him, but he was able to rebuild his life for the better. And all because he had his family to help him. UGH!
Now feels like a good time to bring back this print I made in 2020. A lot of what I'm feeling now is similar to what I was feeling then- despair, rage, frustration, helplessness, fear, a desire to just burn it all down. This piece was a way to channel those feelings, and visualize revolution. I realized through it the idea that the world I wanted to live in– one that is full of community and joy– cannot become a reality without some destruction. We will have to do difficult things, things out of our comfort zones, but nothing that thousands of people haven't already been doing and experiencing for years under this oppressive state. We are not starting from scratch, and we are not working in isolation. Start with your own community. Mutual aid hub can help you find aid groups in your area. 211 helps curate nation-wide and local community services for easy access. Feel free to add any other resources for community organizing onto this post, I'm still doing research myself.
The revolution is already underway, do your research and find out how you can be a part of it.
Can’t I look up digitigrade leg references without Google calling me a furry?
Obsessed with the song “Lump” by The Presidents of The United States of America because of the image it conjures in my head of this guy who’s helplessly in love with this catatonic swamp girl. Whose name is Lump.
The cool thing about being an artist is that there’s no one path to success. No one can tell you what to do… The uncool thing is that I need someone to tell me what to do or I will be paralyzed with indecision forever.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A OUPPY 🐕 AND A KITTYS 🐈 TO BE FRIENDS?
If your immediate response to "trans men are capable of benefiting from male privilege" is "trans men are not The Enemy!!" I don't think u should be discussing feminism or intersectionality at all lmao
