I had a dream about you.

We were on a bus and there were a lot of people too, I couldn't see your face but I know it was you. You know what I mean anyway.

I looked over your shoulder I was behind you and saw your phone wallpaper was a blond guy when I asked you about who he was,

you said ah that's Edward Kenway and before I say anything else YOU TOOK A BITE OF YOUR PHONE!!!

Like you ate part of it!!? And then you ate my phone too???!

Then a bus flipped over and I woke up, It was a crazy dream I'm telling you.

What a wild trip! This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this! What's absolutely insane is that this is not the first time I've been in other people's Dreams! I'm a frequent Flyer for people! You get to count yourself among the list of thirty or so people across the internet of which I visit the dreams of! Sounds wicked amazing though! Especially since it is very in character for me to have had Edward Kenway as my phone background. Sorry about your dream-phone I uh... I'm sure we can get you another.

#I hope we got to our destination though #I wonder where we were heading?.#asianbutnotjapanese #asks #dream ask #this is really wicked cool #pinning this on my personal wall of things

#sars cov 2 #covid 19 #i've interacted with 4 different friends/acquaintances in the past month alone who have all been hospitalised after having a stroke #(and in one case multiple strokes)#one who i visited in hospital over the weekend had a (unmasked) nurse coughing up a lung in her room 👍#and one of them who had to undergo surgery also had to be moved to a different hospital #bc the ward they were keeping him in was full of confirmed covid patients 👍👍#idk how many times it needs to be said before it gets through people's heads but VACCINES ARE NOT ENOUGH #and encouraging ppl to rely solely on them when there are already plans to jack up the prices so you have to KEEP PAYING for boosters #for an ONGOING mass-disabling event is so laughably unrealistic and absurd and flat-out demonic #you need to mitigate the actual spread of covid by WEARING A MASK + fighting for CLEAN AIR/proper ventilation in public spaces!!!!!!#ppl are so eager to forget the whole 'break the chain of transmission' thing and how effective masking is and so this is where we're at #'i got infected and infected other ppl who might die or become permanently disabled but it's no big deal bc no one else wears a mask #so if /i/ didn't infect them someone else would have anyway so it's not my fault and really its got nothing to do with me and my choices'#if everyone is responsible then no one is responsible - that's how it works right?#it's no wonder some ppl go rabid at even the sight of someone wearing a mask and minding their own business #ppl seeking treatment for unrelated conditions/illnesses and then dying from covid caught in hospitals #due to lack of npis/basic mitigation measures - no regulations no accountability #we truly live in a hell (''new normal'') of our own making #anyway none of this is new news at all i mostly thought it might be good to share the info graphic abt signs of stroke #covid has been given free reign and chances are increasing as to how likely you'll encounter it happening to someone you know at some point #also heart attacks and pots and alzheimer's etc etc etc

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

#i don’t know if pay rates differ per networks #but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds #it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget #that we as the audience never got to see #in the vein of the too-little characters complaint #another part of that is that low-stakes episodes should’ve been abt the main cast instead of the townies #like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kiki’s pizza delivery service #i definitely see that especially since that isn’t budget related #nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an ‘episodic episodes’ quota it could still be abt the gems #(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing #what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a ‘peridot event’ where they just reran peridot episodes #which had eps that skip around in the show #did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think it’s simply because the creators like townie eps #like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said she’s the type to be really invested in background characters #answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide what’s really going on though tbf #prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope #when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it ‘wasn’t interesting enough’#both could simultaneously be true! it’s a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create #in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it #the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them #it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast #i’m sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters #but off the top of my head i think it’s because 1. most don’t have strong motivations to get truly invested in #(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye

“I know what you're trying to do right now.” “I'm not trying to do anything Art. [...] I don't need to play mind games with you. :)”

Arguing like a married couple without looking like it while trying to flirt with a girl is hilarious. (I'd give anything to see their original conversation about stanford.)

#even more hilarious is tashi understanding art and standing her ground against patrick which make his little condescending show flop #tashi: why are threesomes only for sex? why can’t i join in on a couple’s argument in public if i have a good point to make?#no bc she understood right away when she saw the bitter face patrick made when she mentioned stanford like girl chuckled #she's so perceptive!!#anyway if you were wondering where her “i'm not a homewrecker” came from #which also make the whole “we don't live together” “it's an open relationship” so great #art shaking his head like “i'm not doing this again” and being happy each time tashi is on his side lmao #art donaldson #patrick zweig #tashi duncan #challengers

Nothing like Heartstopper S2E8 removing some of Taylor Swift's "seven" lyrics just so that the singing can specifically come back in at "Or hide in the closet" while Isaac is processing difficult emotions related to the book he's reading (i.e., Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen).

Did I mention "Or hide in the closet" hits just as the camera focus finishes shifting away from Isaac?

This is fine

#This is not fine #Warning: Long tags ahead (2 topics)#TOPIC 1:#I'm glad Isaac feels safe enough to be reading this book and processing emotions around his friends #That's the positive spin on “he's quietly dealing with a lot while next to his friends and they're not noticing and he's not sharing" right #The contrast of this with the happy friend-bonding montage time feels purposeful and sad (esp. with lyrics about staying in the closet)#but on the bright side this is in the midst of happy friend-bonding montage time so we also see them having happy bonding times together #- showing the friendship is still strong even if right now Isaac isn't wholly known or fully fitting #Hopefully this is leading to Isaac telling his friends what he's going through in S3 and the friendships adapting to fit him better #TOPIC 2:#Also - don't think it's unintentional that where the camera focus shifts to is Nick with his arms around Charlie and then kissing his head #I think we're being purposefully distracted from Isaac with allo 'cuteness'#Because what the other characters often get swept up in - especially as they all couple up in S2 - is alloromantic/allosexual interactions #And that's frequently what the world prioritises or cares more about too #I think the show is intentionally calling everyone - from the characters to us watching them to the whole world - out #So that hopefully we (general) can all be more aware and do better #[In case you were wondering this N&C/Isaac scene is also right after we see short clips of Elle & Tao and Tara & Darcy cuddling -#which also seems very intentional: Isaac - sandwiched in between views of cuddling couples - alone in more ways than one]#CONCLUSION:#I think everything is working together to highlight the contrast between what N&C and Isaac are respectively experiencing in this moment #Did I mention this is not fine?#It is well done though #heartstopper mini moment #isaac henderson #aroace #aromantic asexual #lgbtqia+#queer #taylor swift #seven

People in this fandom will really look at The Fool, Patience, Lacey, Carson, Sedric, Hest, Davvie, Lecter, Kennit, Ash/Spark, and yes, even Fitz himself, and still have the gall to call it queer bait.

These characters are explicitly queer, their actions impact the narrative, they are well written, and their identities are treated with respect. That is the best possible queer representation you could ask for in any story.

I've seen people on tumblr basing the likelihood of if they read this series on whether or not it's "actually gay" and I'm here to tell you that it is. There are queer characters. There are queer protagonists. And no matter what you see people in the fandom say, Robin Hobb wrote some amazing queer representation in a genre that rarely sees it at all.

TLDR;

Queer bait = disrespectful marketing ploy that exploits queer audiences

Queer bait ≠ "my two favorite characters never have sex"

#Fitzchivalry ''i wondered if I lied so that I need not be ashamed of myself'' farseer thank you everyone #quite frankly the disrespect to Robin Hobb in this fandom is in EXTREMELY poor taste #the interview from 2008 before half the series was written where she explains why Fitz would not suddenly be head over heels for a person h #perceives as a man because all of his life he has only had heterosexual experiences apparently means that no queer characters exist #whatsoever in the whole series and Robin Hobb is an irredeemable backwards old lady who can't get with the times. right.#Fitzchivalry ''what were we? Beloved'' farseer #this is actually not supposed to be a debate over whether Fitz is canonically queer or not. he is. ope.#also...I do read Kennit as queer. just cause he is traumatized and his queerness comes out in predatory ways doesn't mean he's not queer.#that's called writing a compelling villain baybee #Hest!?!? thank you Robin Hobb for the evil gays god bless <3 #modern reader: the author didn't describe these characters dicks touching in detail therefore she is homophobic #rote #realm of the elderlings #fitzchivalry farseer #the fool #I really had to get this out of my system guys. thanks <3 #as if Robin Hobb didn't give us the FOOL. nonbinary/gender fluid character OF ALL TIME.

lost my mucus plug

#if this MELON HEADED BREECH BABY DONT STAY IN UNTIL FRIDAY WHEN WERE SCHEDULED #ok but picture this: we are last minute getting our ducts cleaned out #it is loud as one can imagine in a 100 year old row home #just rattling and vacuum noises. machinery. etc etc #there are random men in my house. they are at least wearing shoe condoms.#I am in the bathroom where they are knocking pulling slugs from my pussy with a sense of awe and wonder

Ok but, how did Buck not realize he was flirting hard with TK 🤣

#them: how many times have you watched the crossover?#me: yes #911 abc #911 lone star #homie was rizzing him up l #no wonder he mentioned Carlos #everyone likes to use the fact we were supposed to get bi Buck in season 4 as confirmation we we're supposed to get buddie then too #but you know what else happened in season 4???#the crossover where he met TK and flirted hard #no i don't think they were gonna have TK cheat #but it could've started the gears in Buck's head a turning

transmascs stop pretending that transfems are untrustworthy sources for transfeminism challenge impos- fuck i didn't even finish and you already complained about our terminology

#i really hate the expectation to know theory in these shit communities #they're barely communities it feels like on here trans people are unified by strict categorization #constantly infinitely expanding definitions but treating them as immutable and emergent from the core of reality #rather that words used to describe things we experience or the positions we are placed in my transphobic society #we're unified by who is mean to us more than wether or not we actually like each other #and so we must always be ready to litigate our position in these spaces #because they must be Definitionally justified rather than just having a real community where we're treated like human beings #i wish we still had our elders... i wish we weren't so adverse to learning humanly #i wish i could escape the weird black and white fandom thinking but it worms it's way into every community here now #this is why i keep lamenting old t4t spaces #we weren't there to argue theory #we weren't opposed to learning it in fact it was useful and joyful to share with each other #to help describe our experiences and understand where we've been placed in the world #but that's not why we were there #we were there for community to be kind to each other #now it's nothing but a bunch of teenage fandom tme people arguing with fake versions of trans women they invented in their heads #while we just hide in the background wondering if the word community means something different now #or if we're really just so evil to our very cores that we were foolish to think we could have community in the first place #sorry just #needed to vent this shit has been in my head for a while #i wasn't in a place to go to gay bars or trans events when i was first here #i couldn't have local community so finding one here with transfems who loved each other #it was so important to me #and learning that i could cater to that small but kind audience in my sex work is what made me finally love doing it #before then i'd been doing it purely cuz i couldn't get any other job #and before that because i was forced to #there's a lot of trauma wrapped up in my work for me but i healed from it largely because of my sisters i found on here #but i don't know when it went away but it did #and now it feels like we're left in a massive crowd of screaming voices #and i don't recognize any of them anymore

New school attendance rules (that are stupid as fuck) being published has me learning people didn't even know that the UK fines people for their kids not being in school unauthorized???

#i...i....yeah to anyone who didnt know #we do #this country is obsessed with school attendance #if its not authorized your fucked #hell even if authorized aka your carer did phone for you and shit #depending how many you have it can stack up and they'll get sus #and you'll get in trouble even then #like the new rules alone are increasingly making it clear if your not authorized you can get bankrupt depending how many kids you have #which yes makes the new rules abelist as fuck and also only rich people will survive it #hell if the schools cant fine you they'll at least make you feel shame #as my school had a form system where at the end of each term a form will be rewarded for the best attendance #so rip if you were the fucker that took i dunno one or two days off for sickness or whatever #because you just costed your form room the award and the classmates know it and will look at you #source: me who had to take sick days off #hell snow days you wont free at my school #my roads and pathways were iced so i couldnt go in #but noooo according to my head of year i should have tried cause he hunted all of us who took the day off and interograted us #and if our excuse wasnt good enough for him we were told off #and they'd literally encourage you to only take sick day off if your throwing up #my head of year literally said he dont care if we got a headache or small cough or sniffle just come in #...huh wonder how they did during 2020...#but yeah attendance in the UK in terms of schools is fucking strict #(also if your curious they did send us home if we were bad-bad #i got sent home once i think??? i dont recall much of that school for my own sanity #but i badly burnt my hand in DT via a soldering iron and i had to go home and the doctors and return to school #with a hand i couldnt write with which was my writing hand so um #yeah i couldnt work much until it recovered...well my english teacher forced me to write with my non-writing hand but #and one girl got sent home for throwing up on the stairs #and another from my limited memories for falling down the stairs which uh were stone in a way so um #(i fell up those stairs somehow once...didnt get sent home but i missed english so) they had no choices sometimes)

Scrolling through my old posts to check my current companion tags and I found my reaction to the series 8 trailer and it's so wild seeing me of 10 years ago say I'm not convinced by Peter Capaldi yet, who is my favourite Doctor of all time.

Like, I know he takes a while to warm up and I know it took me even longer to emotionally accept the fact that David Tennant had been knocked off the top spot, but it's just so weird to see!
