A friend of mine shared this fantastic resource over Discord, so did a few studies in-between working on homework!
Rb this post to hand your aro mutuals a weapon
Sex doesn’t make us whole.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY!
The best way to gauge how much a white person is actually working on their racism is to see how they treat a black person who makes them mad or uncomfortable or that they think isn’t being respectable. Even the most “anti racist” seeming white people will let that facade slip once they come across a black person they think isn’t respectable or that makes them mad.
When white people come across a black person that won’t coddle their feelings in the way society has taught white people to expect, that’s when their true colors come out. That’s how you learn the most about where a white person is at in the process of unlearning racism and checking themselves for unconscious bias.

Page 1: Hey- It’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Yeah that’s right, we have today AND next month (Native American Heritage Month) now, get used to it!! Support us in these ways ->
Page 2: Support me! Surprise, I’m Diné! Support me by buying my art, sharing my art, or just liking my content. Also my venmo is @Julie-Fiveash. Gotta pay those grad school bills somehow! More->
Page 3: Find out what indigenous lands you reside on. Native-land.ca has a nifty site dedicated to showing indigenous lands. (I feel like we tell people all the time to “educate yourselves” but seriously, DO IT.) Okay so once you have this ->
Page 4: Support Indigenous communities! You can do this in a variety of ways!
- Donate to local ndn mutual aid funds.
- Donate to Indigenous led businesses, education institutions, elder care programs, and more.
- Ask your local museum/library/archive how they’re representing local tribes (repatriation maybe??)
- Support language revitalization programs.
- Support LGBTQ+ orgs that directly support queer Indigenous folks.
More ->
Page 5: Remember Indigenous Peoples are NOT a monolith. I suggested learning your local Indigenous Peoples because we don’t all practice the same customs or speak the same languages and I’m tired of explaining “no my tribe does NOT just give me free money-“ We have different needs and priorities and we’d appreciate it if you took the extra step supporting us in specific ways. Ways that WE say are most helpful.

the fact that jonathan means “gift of god/gift from god” (x)
and sims means “the listener” or “he who hears” (x) (x)
but i can’t write any cool analysis about how Jon’s name fits into the thematic elements of the narrative bc Jonny just straight up plagiarized his birth certificate will never stop making me angry
an animal ate all of my boyfriend’s decorative cabbages and he’s reacting really okay and proportionally
as i have previously mentioned, i have spent some time on tma twitter, gathering knowledge, appreciating art and memes, sighing copiously at replies, choking at tweet threads, and all around having a horrible but no doubt addicting time. like slow car crash addicting. but anyway.
what i have learned is this! people have vastly differing but aligned opinions about one elias bitchard, such that they seem to fall on a slider scale almost. and so here i present them to you as i have encountered them in the wild (none of which reflect my own opinion, save for the first of them):
i hate his bitch ass but mostly ironically/as a joke because it's fun to hate him and he deserves it for being such an evil stupid bastard and hurting x character(s), but that's about it. it's not super deep mostly i just like dunking on him
i unironically fucking hate his guts if i met him irl i'd rip his throat out with my bare hands. what a disgusting wretch of a man, just listening to him speak gives me hives. everything about him is Gross, don't even talk to me about him i'll go feral
angrier, more rigid subset of the previous: i unironically hate elias bouchard and do not understand how any of you freaks can possibly stand this evil, abusive, digusting barely human being and then further still wanna fuck him/ship other characters with him, he's not sexy and never has been shut the fuck up
he's uninteresting and boring to me and i don't see why y'all love to talk about him so much tbh :/ subpar villain bitch at best, i barely like him as a character let alone a person. find someone more interesting to talk about, there's a whole assortment
hypothetical indifferent neutral space that i've yet to encounter in actuality, this mf is polarizing lmao even at ppl's least interested attitudes towards him
actually no i lied true neutral is not giving a shit about jonah magnus and instead stanning and pondering about the life of the original weedman bouchard, whoever he may have been. rip the poor poor man he probably didn't deserve to have his eyeballs scooped like an ice cream cone
elias is is such an interesting and complex character to me and i enjoy writing/drawing/talking about him because alongside his general reprehensible and horribly evil qualities as a person he's such a powerful and cunning character. but at his core he's really just pathetic old man who's scared to die and is searching for the power to dominate and manipulate others and extend his existence by any means necessary before his clock runs out. and i think that's both horrible and fascinating.
i ironically love elias/am stupid horny for him because i think running after this nasty literally evil man with high maintenance bitch energy is hilarious and certain art of him really just hits sometimes man, idk lol being/fucking an evil mf can be fun (also making the rest of the fandom keyboard smash at our memes is a plus)
i 100% unironically love/am horny for elias because evil bastard man is just sexy sometimes what do you want me to say? have you heard his voice? would you begrudge me my horrible taste in men? elias dickchard never did anything good for anyone but himself ever in his entire life and i love him for it, good on him for conquering the world to swerve on death, what an inspiration, i love him and wish him the best
bizarre yet interesting subset of the previous that i have only encountered one (1) time, but it impressed itself so strongly i must share: i don't care what happens to jon or martin. i mean that, honest. i'm happy for elias, marvelous worlding ending bastard he is. i hope he wins. no i am not joking. some of y'all are here only for the admiral? i'm only here for elias. god bless.
pls tag urself i'm 'mostly i just like dunking on him'
being queer isn’t my only personality trait. i also hate cops
