hi yes hello what the fuck is metrosexual lmfao

It's hard to explain to zoomers just how insanely homophobic the early 2000s were. If you were male, and like, washed your hair regularly, people would call you a faggot.

So, dudes who washed their hair and wore button ups developed the term "metrosexual" which meant "I care about my appearance but I am attracted to women and don't have sex with men."

one of my girlfriends only tells the truth. my other girlfriend only tells lies.

whether or not you want to accept it, there are in fact lesbians who experience multiple genders, and leaving them out because they're men/men sometimes is you being lesbophobic, not them being lesbophobic to you. genderfluid lesbians, bigender lesbians, multigender lesbians, two-spirit lesbians and other lesbians with cultural identities that can include manhood exist. nobody seems to care how racist it is to say that lesbians can't also be men. saying that lesbians can't ever be men is a direct slap in the face to two spirit lesbians who are men, and other lesbians who have cultural identities and are also men, and nobody seems to care.

you are being lesbophobic if you say that genderfluid people, bigender people, multigender people, nonbinary people who are also men, transmascs, trans men, and ftms can't be lesbians. queer men are not out to kill you. queer men are not straight men invading the queer community to hurt you. queer men are not fiending to assault you. queer men belong in lesbian spaces. again i cannot stress how willing people are to leave out genderfluid and multigender people. why do you not care about them? like is there any good reason other than transphobia? because i don't see it. you are the one being lesbophobic, not the other way around.

bloody polites compilation

rant below:

The bandages drawing was loosely based on the headcanon that polites was a medic (please ignore any inaccuracies). Some use this hc as an explanation to why he stayed ‘innocent’ throughout the 10-year war, since he wouldn’t have had to fight or kill.

However, I like this hc for another reason. While I still think it makes a good baseline for his mindset, but implies it can be more of a coping mechanism. Being a war medic does not mean one does not have to witness bloodshed; rather, they would have to see blood and injuries on the daily while keeping a level head and make hard decisions when choosing which patient to treat first even when multiple are in obvious pain. This role would have been a huge responsibility for him, and given his personality he would have tried his best to be the emotional support / morale for the patients. 

The war ends, and it seems like there’s no need to worry about getting hurt or killed, but every other soldier is tired and traumatized. It makes sense he would try to step into the role of healer again, this time mostly emotionally/mentally (especially for his best friend who looks very guilty of something he doesn’t want to talk about). So comes Open Arms. He knows it’s not always possible but wants himself and his friends to have hope for the world after everything. 

Plus it’s nice rpg game logic in a literal and symbolic way — kill the healer first and the rest of the team will slowly fall apart one way or another.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

inexplicability/unknowability in art is not often understood as an intentional artistic decision, let alone respected as one. I'd almost call it entitlement on the part of audience, but it's not even that, really. it's a complete inability to ask - was this ever meant to be understood in full? is there a reason why it wouldn't be? is it uncomfortable to think about? maybe it is supposed to be uncomfortable to think about.

Something i found out just now that made me kinda sad, schools don't even collect boxtops anymore, you scan a qr code on the box to get the money for your school :(

Not to be like "kids these days" but kids these days will never know the joy of receiving gallon sized ziploc bags full of box tops from all their relatives and bringing them to school and getting little prizes for them all

It's ok to want money. It's ok to be upset that you're poor and wishing to be rich. I understand. People who say that money doesn't buy happiness have never eaten pasta every day because it's 50 cents at the grocery store or been short on money for christmas presents. Constantly scraping by makes people miserable and depressed and of course you're gonna dream about money, about being happy and priviledged. That's not greedy or horrible, that's life. It's ok.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
