#I miss my grandfathers

Surrogate/adoptive father figures, from 80s and 90s cartoons, is a level of comfort I crave.

12 and his electric guitar could've beat Maestro's ass in five minutes and I stand by that

Sometimes you find something that kicks you in the gut, feelings-wise.

they put my tiny baby boy to sleep today. they took him away from me he was my whole wide world and more without him I'd have killed myself thrice over in the last 8 years he was my everything he was so good and loving and sometimes so endearingly stupid and headstrong and lazy he loved his little boxies and scratches behind his ears and he let me hold his paw but hated when I did it to his tiny feeties he is the very best boy there ever was and idk how to exist in a world without him in it he used to follow me from room to room like a dumb idiot tiny dog and even when I was so depressed I didn't think I'd get out of bed he was always there always making me feel not alone and now he's gone. those are the last pictures I took of my idiot baby boy in his boxy. I just wanted someone to know that I love him more than the whole wide world and I'll never not miss him and that i love him and love him and love and everywhere I look is a place he isn't anymore and it makes me wanna end it all. I love you so much forever

Help a disabled transmasc move for Pride Month

hiya! I'm moving back home after fleeing domestic violence and settling some debts and such from the abuse. I am aiming for early August for a move date, but I would be super grateful if I could have help funding the move <3

You were all so kind and helped me so much when I needed help getting away. It's thanks to you that I was able to get to a safe place and get things settled to begin with.

"What does this have to do with pride month?" Well I miss my boyfriend and I would be moving back to be in the same city as him and not halfway across the country.

Anyway, there's more details about why this move is happening so soon in the link below. I don't want to be too much of a bother.

I also have commissions open if you'd like some art.

Thank you for reading! And happy Pride!

Today I went to the river and carded some wool, listening to the water fall over the stones.

The last few months have been really hard for me. I haven’t had the mental space to even think about making things. But I’m taking some time off work to rest and will try to live life at a slower pace.

My grandmother passed away today. I know she’s at peace and is no longer in pain, which I’m so grateful for, but I’m also extremely sad. I’ll be gone for the next few days to process and grieve and not fall apart at work.

I think the part of Ghost Story that resonates the most with me personally is the way that a lot of Joey's character arc is about simultaneously yearning for and romanticizing a queer past but also imposing modern ideas onto that past. He thinks he would pass better in the past, in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere where as long as he dresses correctly no one will question him, but he doesn't actually want everything else that comes with being queer in that era. He wants there to be a happy ending. And that's just not up to him at all. Don't we all wish that there were more queer happy endings in history? Don't we all fall into the trap of thinking "[insert very specific experience] would have been better back then [if I ignore the surrounding context of why it was "better" in my opinion]" every now and then?

And I'm also just obsessed with the entire part near the end where Joey is talking to Hao about how trans history is perceived as inherently different from history more generally and how that scene as a whole is so much about Joey taking for granted the fact that he knows other trans people, takes for granted that there are people who understand. Hao, in this past that Joey has been romanticizing, may have had an easier time starting over somewhere new with a new name and new clothes, but he also feels like he is the only person in the world like him. "Must be nice to know so many others that you can be annoyed by them." Like Joey's feelings about how trans identities being more visible has made him easier to clock are valid but to act like the opposite of that is inherently better circles back to the false idea that he can simultaneously have his perfect idea of queer history without all the baggage that it comes with. And how this scene talks about Joey having to confront his insecurities about being a trans gay man specifically and having to make peace with the fact that he can't just make himself become cis magically but that could be an entire post by itself.

Yara, who do you think is stronger, Sanji or Zoro? Who would win if they fought each other?

"...Sanji definitely did not entice me with food to say that, either."

Ask Yara (or any of my OCs) anything!

@proshipper-on-ship​ thank you for the Dick & Dan idea you added to my other post, please enjoy some of the fall out your comment resulted in haha

“So,” Bruce tried, looking hesitantly pleased at the surprisingly light atmosphere around the table. “Anything new and exciting going on with anyone?”

There was a smattering of answers from around the table. Jason didn’t offer anything - which wasn’t surprising, that he was even there and largely not starting a fight was more than enough as far as Dick was concerned - but with some ribbing from Steph, Tim eventually admitted to finally asking that boy he’d been interested in out. Dick joined in on teasing his little brother - and even Jay gave, for him, some gentle ribbing over finally getting the balls to do something, eh Timberland? - while very carefully avoiding mentioning his own sorta-kinda thing with Dan in Bludhaven. He’d deal with his siblings making him miserable and embarrassed over it all when he actually scored a date with him thanks very much.

Things were going good.

And then Damian cleared his throat, looking imperious and uninterested at the same time as he waited for everyone to turn to look at him.

“I have an announcement on an alteration to my personal life.” He declared, chin up and looking like he was already over this whole family-bonding-time thing, which was fair. Damian had gotten better over the years, but he was still not exactly the cute and cuddly little brother. Dick still had the scar from the last time he tried to hug Dami without warning a year ago and got stabbed for the effort. Still, he was sharing, willingly even! That’s progress!

At the head of the table Bruce tilted his head, looking as cautiously hopeful as Dick felt over the youngest Wayne actually offering to share something personal. “Have you decided on what college you want to go to then?”

“No.” Dami dismissed easily, without more than a glance in Bruce’s direction. “Night and I have decided to take some time to travel before continuing any further schooling.”

Huh, honestly, Dick was kinda surprised. With how much of a perfectionist Dami was, he’d thought he’d throw himself into college with the same ferocious, competitive drive he did everything else. But then again, if Elle Nightingale was going to be taking a gap year or two, it wasn’t as if it was that much of a surprise that Dami would go and join her.

The two gremlins had been practically inseparable since they were twelve and discovered a shared love of stabbing people and adopting every animal they see. If Dami’s best friend was going to go gallivanting across the world like she always dreamed of doing, Dick couldn’t actually be that  surprised that Dami would be going with her.

Dick took a sip of his drink as Dami opened his mouth to continue with what was probably going to be to most people the world’s most harrowing game of “how many incredibly dangerous animals can we see before we end up dead on our gap year” that the two demons were undoubtedly planning.

He regretted taking that sip almost immediately as Damian said, “Night and I took our marital vows yesterday. She sends her regrets that she was unable to join us for family dinner tonight.”

Predictably, the room broke out into utter chaos.

Dick choked on his drink, spraying across the table and splattering Babs with a shower of wine. She didn’t even seem to notice, dropping her own glass as she snapped her head over to stare at Damian, the sound of breaking glass and a deep red stain pooling across the table following as she did. At the end of the table, Jay made a noise like a dying goose as the samosa he’d just popped in his mouth threatened to kill him. Cass, perhaps the most outwardly calm at the proclamation, only stared with wide eyes at her younger brother as she hit Jason on the back in an attempt to make sure he didn’t die.

Dick could practically hear the old shrieking AOL dial up noise that was Tim’s brain attempting to process what his little brother had just said, while sitting next to him Steph gave a small shriek of you what? Duke’s head was on a swivel, eyes darting from Damian, to another family member, to Damian and back again as if unsure who to even look at in the moment.

Bruce just…stared, frozen in place, face caught in the most open look of shock Dick thinks the man has ever shown in his life.

---

Damian sniffed and cast a caustic look towards - of all people - Jason, “Unlike some people, I share my good news with the family in a timely manner.”

Jay sputtered, “You know what, fuck you! Fine, you want me to share the news?” Jay snapped his head towards the rest of them. “Jazz is pregnant, baby is due next month on the sixth. Baby shower’s next weekend at Robinson Park, show up or don’t, I really don’t give a fuck.”

Or maybe he was just going to try to kill them with a heart attack.

“What the fuck?!”

“Language!”

“Who the fuck is Jazz?!”

“Language!”

“Night’s elder sister and guardian, Drake, keep up. You should know this, you’re dating her brother.”

“I’m what?”

“And Grayson is having flirtations with her other brother.”

“Dan is Elle’s older brother? Wait - how do you know about that?”

“Todd and I are in the Nightingale family group chat. We have endured far too much waxing poet about your posterior over the past months.”

“Why do they all have variations of the same name? Who gives all their children the same name?”

“He likes my ass?”

“Oh my god, bigger picture Dick, focus.”

“Seriously, do they all have the same name outside of the older sister? I feel like we need to acknowledge they all have the same name.”

“Can we go back to the fact that Damian got married? To Elle? Yesterday? How did you even do that without anyone knowing?

“Dr. Nightingale is a notary.”

“...Dr. Nightingale as in the woman Bruce is investigating Dr. Nightingale?”

“Okay but the name thing? Please tell me you’re not naming the baby some variation of the name Daniel.”

“If the gremlins get their way it will be. Do you know how many lists we’ve made that they keep sabotaging?”

“So you have Dan’s number? Could you give it to me?”

“Jesus Christ, Dick I’m begging you.”

“Why did you guys even get married?”

“For the diplomatic immunity.”

“You don’t have diplomatic immunity.”

“I do now.”

“What does that mean?”
