A heart made fullmetal
"They would learn to fear her, and they would know her by name. The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true."
-Leigh Bardugo, "Six of Crows"
Do not follow if:
(I know this is rather long but please read it for both our sakes, and thank you!)
You are against supporting the struggles of the LGBT+ community, people of color, indigenous peoples, people from religious minorities, disabled people, neurodivergent and mentally ill people, working-class people, and other marginalized groups who are fighting for their rights and their liberation.You are a conservative, fascist, or neo-Nazi (generally fits the description above).You are a TERF or someone who excludes trans women from their feminism, a truscum/transmed or someone who doesn't support non-dysphoric trans and non-binary people, or a SWERF or a feminist who excludes sex workers.You are a (neo)liberal or capitalist supporter, or subscribe to white liberal feminism (e.g. supporting Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren).You call yourself a fujoshi (or a fudanshi, its male equivalent), being a (cishet) woman who fetishizes MLM and M/M relationships, and you are a (cishet) man who fetishizes WLW and F/F relationships as well. The former mainly applies to self-identified fujoshi from Western countries, as the fujoshi culture that has thrived there is different from that in Japan and this has had many troubling aspects which have primarily affected real MLM themselves.You uncritically subscribe to MOGAI theory and believe that the split-attraction model can be applied outside of aromantic and/or asexual people (e.g. believing that bisexual or pansexual lesbians, panromantic gay men, homoromantic heterosexual women, etc. have legitimate sexualities).You unironically believe in so-called "gold star lesbians" (lesbians who have never been in relationships with men) to be the only legitimate kind of lesbians.You do not believe that non-binary (especially those who go by he/him and they/them pronouns) and trans lesbians are real lesbians.You mock the use of non-traditional personal pronouns and neo-pronouns (e.g. they/them and variations thereof) or intentionally misgender people (by using the wrong pronouns and such) and use people's deadnames.You use slurs that aren't yours to reclaim (e.g. non-lesbians saying the D slur, non-black people saying the N slur, cishet people saying the Q slur, etc.).You are anti-theism of any sort (being critical of organized religions' oppressive structures is fine and I am agnostic myself, but disrespecting any sort of religious belief or thinking that all religions and belief systems are a monolith of oppression isn't okay and can skewer towards racism, particularly against indigenous peoples, and antisemitism, etc.).You are a religious fundamentalist who believes their faith is the one true religion that can save people and that everyone who doesn't practice it is evil or ignorant, and actively attempt to proselytize or convert people.You support terrible people (e.g. celebrities who are known rapists and abusers) and politicians like Donald Trump and Mike Pence and for fellow Filipinos, people like Rodrigo Duterte, Manny Pacquiao, Tito Sotto, Gloria Arroyo, Benigno Aquino III, Erap Estrada, etc.You are uncomfortable with fairly heavy posting/retweeting about political issues.You are an NSFW-focused account.You do not believe that fiction affects reality in many ways and vice-versa, and identify as an "anti-anti" or "pro-shipper."You ship or condone incest, pedophilia and relationships with predatory age gaps, and abuse, in fiction (e.g. Royed, Elricest, Shaladin, Reylo, Narumayo, Cykesquill) and in real life.You are under the age of 15, unless we are already following each other and/or we know each other IRL.You won't at least softblock when unfollowing.
Before you follow...
Please note that I tend to retweet and reblog heavily compared to making personal posts and tweets, so be warned before you follow in case you're not a fan of that.
I am also not the best at tagging triggers and content warnings, as well as spoilers for various media, and I admittedly only occasionally do that (common triggers I often tag include murder, rape, pedophilia, incest, and abuse). Let me know (especially via DMs or CuriousCat) if you follow me or if we're mutuals and you need anything tagged for whatever reason!
People who know me in real life can also go ahead and follow me, so long as they respect my privacy (like not outing me to my parents and other family members).
Please refrain from calling me the term 'queer.' I know many other LGBT+ people reclaim it for themselves and that's valid, but please be mindful that it is still a slur and personally I am not comfortable with it. I do reclaim the slur 'dyke' though, and use it from time to time. I only tag it sometimes however, and if anyone needs it tagged specifically, feel free to hit me up on CC and let me know!
Please note that I am critical of all the media I consume (as well as their creators), including ones I've enjoyed aspects of (e.g. Harry Potter, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Dragon Prince, etc. - though I have not really been a part of those aforementioned fandoms for some time now and generally do not actively post about them anymore). I try not to be too vocally negative about it, but I do my best to avoid blindly supporting any piece of media nonetheless.
Since I know minors are following me and I am open to letting people who are 15-17 years old follow me too, I generally try to keep my account safe and free of graphic and NSFW content (I will never share explicit NSFW though - the occasional art with non-sexual nudity not included - that's for sure). However, I do occasionally make posts or like/retweet/reblog posts with NSFW mentions (usually jokes, which I often tag too). Feel free to unfollow or not follow in the first place if you are not comfortable with that sort of thing.
If you are a minor and you are uncomfortable with me, a legal adult, following you, you can go ahead and softblock me - your comfort deserves to be valued too. And in general, I would like to emphasize that whenever you want to unfollow or break the mutual for whatever reason, I'd prefer that you softblock me instead of just unfollowing me out of the blue while I am still following you. But if you do not want us to interact in any way anymore, feel free to full-on block me as well.
Please do not also hesitate to let me know or call me out if I have done something bad or problematic, whether you believe my action was intentional or not. I am still learning and unlearning things, and I am open to changing and having my mistakes be corrected. However, I would prefer that you DM me about the issue first, so we can talk it over.
If you have reached this part, it means you're done reading my DNF + BYF, so thank you! Take a breather and look at these Maya Fey and Klavier Gavin sprites for now :)
About
⚢🏳️🌈
Dawn, 20 years old, she/her and they/them pronouns. Transmisogyny-exempt lesbian, Filipino (living in the Philippines), and college literature student. Virgo sun + Libra moon + Virgo ascendant and INFP-T/INFJ. Sort of trilingual (speaks Bisaya/Cebuano as mother tongue and English as second language, can speak and understand Filipino/Tagalog but not very good at it). Anxiety sufferer, history lover, and amateur writer. Learning and unlearning as a person. Formerly @ichinotanikyoka on Twitter. And yes I usually type like a 40-year-old blue checkmark on Twitter with proper capitalization and everything, sorry but old habits die hard and it's just part of my identity at this point
Main fandom is currently Ace Attorney (currently playing Justice for All + Ace Attorney Investigations 1; played Apollo Justice + Ace Attorney Investigations 2 + Ace Attorney 1; watched the movie and anime), so expect a lot of content related to it! Favorite characters include Maya Fey, Klavier Gavin, Franziska von Karma, Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, Ema Skye, Justine Courtney, Dahlia Hawthorne, and Simon Keyes while favorite pairings include Phoenix/Miles, Franziska/Maya, Klavier/Apollo, Lana/Mia, Ema/Kay, and Simon K./Horace.
Other primary fandoms at present include Fullmetal Alchemist (manga and Brotherhood), Avatar: The Last Airbender + The Legend of Korra + The Kyoshi Novels, and Butterfly Soup.
(Also if you're wondering about the 3k+ people I follow on Twitter: a lot of them are from my early days in 2014-16 when I followed/followed back a lot of random, history-related, or RP accounts which are now inactive or which I'm no longer interested in, but unfortunately I still haven't figured out a way to unfollow those - I'd appreciate it if you let me know about any way to do so!)
Note: Despite my lengthy DNF and BYF, I promise I'm actually not that strict or intimidating! Like I'm mostly here to have a good time. I'm just trying to curate my follower list by preventing weirdos and bigots from following me in the first place as much as possible and to also give people a heads-up about what to expect from my content if they do follow me.
