the fact that most people dont even know that ariana is white due to her large amount of tanning is pretty sad & telling i mean looking at her on victorious (2010-2013) vs thank u, next (2018) is a pretty dramatic jump in skin tone, and no everyone its not “natural” she didnt just magically get 10x darker after she turned 20
ok and the thing is that it wasn’t that she just decided now to vroom go full out more tanning no she has been progressively tanning more and more every year, every album, every appearance so of course you’re never going to notice a difference - hell i didn’t notice a difference until i saw a gifset of this music video and i watched victorious six years ago. everyone is fooled.
methinks….people underestimate how makeup is an actual real psychological trauma and im not being hyperbolic. being incapable of seeing your bare face in the mirror w/o being shook to your core and spiralling into a chain of negative emotions that ruins the rest of ur day? viscerally fearing being observed w/o makeup so much it informs how and when and IF you dare to move in public spaces? how many women fear intimate relationships bc they cant stomach the thought of someone seeing them w/o makeup? being so alienated from your own body that either exposing it or being exposed to it renders u depressed disturbed and disgusted sounds like textbook trauma responses to me
Shoutout to all my ladies who are recognizing themselves as creatives, artists, writers, painters, poets, sculptors, songwriters, illustrators.. shoutout to all the ladies awakening to their own creativity and understanding we’re not just muses we are living art and artists and have space to express this art. We’re releasing the need to ask for permission, we are doing what we’ve dreamed of because we dreamed it and it’s ours.
Hey guys I’m currently trying to raise money to pay for travel + school through using Dosh. Essentially Dosh is a cash back service that gives you $10 when you sign up with someone’s referral code and link your card! This app doesn’t charge your card but gives you money whenever you purchase something at nearby stores! I’ve been using it recently to make/save money and it’s really really good! They let you withdraw the funds from your account to your bank or PayPal once you reach $25 (which is easy cause that’s like 3 people). People who use my link will receive a free simple sun, moon, and rising chart interpretation. DM me if you used it
always remember that love will always come back to u. in a different form, different person, different hobby, different touch. but in any way, love will always come back.

almost 700 notes and only $50 / $5500 donated so far - anything helps!
no offense but if this was a white trans man’s post it would have 10,000+ notes already. if you can take 2 minutes out of your day to watch her video on gofundme, share, and/or donate, all of those 2 minutes put together will add up to something meaningful for someone who really needs the support right now.
3000 notes and less than 40 donations - every little bit helps!
Please donate and rb to help Khrys and her partner find somewhere to live before winter hits!
