It's incredible how people will accuse you of being Trans for the silliest things.
And I mean the silliest things. I keep getting asked if I'm trans simply for having long hair.
By adults. I get kids thinking Long Hair=Girl, cause they're kids. But fully grown adults. And then when told no, getting lots of questions as to why I have long hair then.
Cause I like it long. That's it. I don't need any other reason. You can't base someones gender on their damn hairstyle.
#and I'll let you in on a secret#it's mostly members of the LGBT community who ask#not quite sure why#an no this isn't a transphobic post#i have no issue with that#I do have an issue with people insisting having long hair makes you trans though#certain people who assume any deviation from gender roles makes you trans

OH, I am so interested in your idea for SG Tarnma.
Okay so my exact ideas for SG Tarnma vary a lot, because I think there's two different canon varieties of Shattered Glass: the original Fun Publications SG where everything was completely flipped and turned into crack-canon, and then what IDW later did with Shattered Glass IDW1 where it was more or less just role reversal IDW1 with only some "complete flipping" of lore and personality. There's also my own personal Shattered Glass universe that I built for Pay Unto Evil, so I could also answer this question as "what would Tarnma be in the SG PUE universe."
That being said I'll do my best to explain all of the different ideas I've had for SG Tarnma. All of them are pretty different so I'm not really particularly attached to any one, but here goes
Version 1: FunPub complete role reversal style. Pharma was originally a mere energon farmer get it lol and has a very meek, shy, unconfident personality. He got enlisted by the Autobots, but he spoke too quietly when they asked for his name (Farmer), so they started calling him Pharma. Then at some point Ratchet is like "yo I'm gonna make this completely untrained guy do medical operations. No I'm not gonna send him to medical school he can learn on the job!" And so Pharma becomes Ratchet's apprentice and develops even more anxiety from the hundreds of times he murders patients either on accident bc he literally has no medical training, or on purpose bc Ratchet made him. He's literally just trying his best and doesn't even want to be here. Meanwhile, the SG DJD is known as the Decepticon Jokester Division, formed as a sort of circus troupe meant to bring good cheer to the Decepticons in a time of depressing war. The members of the DJD are codenamed after the first cities they toured right before/when the war started. How reluctant medic Pharma and literal clown Tarn meet in this universe is anyone's guess.
Version 2: IDW style. Tarn and Pharma still have basically the same backstories as canon IDW1 except that Pharma is a professional assassin instead of a doctor (yknow, role reversal where Pharma is an expert at killing people instead of healing them). Also this universe's Pharma has the posh and aristocratic personality fandom thinks he has in canon lol. Maybe Pharma finds out about Tarn having a secret t-cog addiction, and he starts bringing t-cogs to Tarn in exchange for Tarn providing him intel (or some other service, idk). Maybe in this universe instead of Tarn torturing Pharma into insanity, Pharma somehow develops guilt for killing people because of Tarn, then defects from the Autobots willingly? Or they kick him out like in canon
Version 3: Pay Unto Evil SG. Tarn and Pharma would have their FunPub style backgrounds (though maybe Tarn's would be slightly more serious) with the added caveat of Pharma having the evil Matrix's mind control embedded in his brain. He still didn't join the Autobots willingly and wasn't even trained to be a doctor. Somehow he and Tarn meet and fall in love across faction lines because Tarn sees how much Pharma is suffering under mind slavery and feeling like he doesn't belong among his cruel comrades. It's a bit of a tragic one though, as Pharma warns Tarn that the Prime can look through his mind at any time thanks to the Matrix. If he finds out that Pharma is Tarn's vulnerability, he could use that against him somehow, or worse, mind control Pharma into trying to kill Tarn himself. They were both devastated when the universe swap happened and they thought they would never see each other again. Though Pharma secretly felt some relief that Tarn was now a universe away and can find someone else to love who isn't a mind-controlled walking time bomb that could try to murder him at any moment.
#squiggle answers#shattered glass#tarnma#these are really rough and most of them i havent even written down or explained to anyone before so#hope any of these strike your fancy. if they do you can ask me more and i'll try to come up with more lore#also to clarify the way the matrix mind control works in PUE's universe is that SG OP is hooked in#at all times. but most of the time he lets his soldiers be or at least only exerts passive mental/emotional control#individual autobots still have personalities they just have little pieces of Primus in their brains watching at all times#hence why sg pue pharma is able to be in a secret relationship with tarn. bc he's forgettable and unimportant#but if sg OP took notice he could definitely reach out#and just mind control pharma to be unthinking and unfeeling and try to kill tarn

Sonic Boom - S3E13
Chapter title: Schrödinger's Hedgehog, Part 2
Summary: The truth about Shadow is revealed, and some problems are solved…while others are made worse. Will a team of five emotionally inexperienced people be able to do what needs to be done?
AO3 Link
First | Previous | Next
[This episode begins without any kind of a cold open, jumping directly into the introductory sequence.]
[Shadow is not present in the part with the rest of the heroes, but their team shot is still structured as if he were there, making the absence very noticeable.]
[Instead, he appears in his old villain intro, with just his stripes and angry eyes visible. However, after a second or two, his eyes change into a much more nervous expression, and dart around briefly.]
[Then, the rest of the sequence continues, complete with the episode title at the end.]
…
When Tails had called the others, they’d all rushed into his workshop immediately, fearing the worst. “What’s wrong, Tails?” Amy had cried. Sonic, somehow, didn’t say a thing. Instead, he darted over to Shadow, clearly concerned for his rival-turned-friend.
What they found, however, was something far stranger than what they had expected.
At Sonic’s gasp, all five teammates gathered around Shadow, staring at his exposed hand. It didn’t look like anything they’d seen before—in fact, it barely resembled any of their own, except in general shape.
Starting from the middle of Shadow’s forearm, his black coloration ended and a strange silicone material began. It was a dull and semi-transparent grey (except for his arm stripe, which was pale red), with wires threaded throughout it, weaving around a central piston that extended up into the rest of his arm. His hand was made of the same silicone, and contained five segmented metal bars that extended through each of his fingers in place of the usual hand structure. They ended in five wickedly sharp steel claws that looked as though they could slice through Eggman’s badniks like they were made of warm butter.
Everyone stared until Sticks broke the silence. “He’s been replaced by a robot!” she screamed. “Who knows who they’ll come for next?!”
“Oh, don’t be silly, Sticks. What I want to know is, since when has Shadow had a prosthetic hand?” Amy asked, confused.
Tails frowned. “I don’t know, but however he got it, this is a seriously advanced piece of machinery. It almost perfectly mimics a real hand!”
While Amy and Tails discussed this revelation, Sonic eyed the way the piston in Shadow’s arm seemed to extend past what he could see somewhat suspiciously. Sure, maybe that was how prosthetics worked and he just didn’t know it, but something wasn’t quite adding up to him.
Running on that gut feeling, he pulled off Shadow’s other glove…
…to reveal a second synthetic hand underneath.
A momentary silence fell as everyone stared again.
Knuckles blinked. “So was Sticks right about him being replaced by a robot?”
“I don’t know about replaced, that just doesn’t feel right, but maybe…aha!” Tails exclaimed. “My scanners were calibrated to organic material, not inorganic! Let me try again.”
The entire team waited with bated breath as Tails’s machinery began to analyze Shadow one last time. The loading bar on the screen seemed almost excruciatingly slow as it ticked upwards a centimeter at a time.
And then, there was a map of Shadow’s insides for everyone to see.
It still didn’t make perfect sense, since there were large parts of Shadow simply listed as “unidentifiable material”, but now it was perfectly clear that he didn’t have one (or even two) prosthetic arms. Shadow was, somehow, an android. An android with Ancient markings on some of his frame, to boot.
Tails looked torn between freaking out in shock and freaking out in excitement. “Chaos, that actually makes perfect sense!”
“Uh…what makes perfect sense, bud?” Sonic asked.
“You guys remember how Shadow knew all this stuff about the Ancients—like with your mech, Sonic? Well, a while back, Amy and I discovered that Mighton and Bolts are actually Ancient robots with ridiculously advanced AIs.”
“Oh yeah! Plus, now that I think about it, he seemed kinda awkward earlier when we were all talking about our opinions on robots.” Sonic added.
“So what I think is, since the robots of Roboken are so…lifelike, mentally, why couldn’t the Ancients have made a robot that looks like us as well as thinks like us?” the engineer finished.
“Why would they want to do that?” Amy asked.
Tails shrugged. “I dunno. Maybe just because they could?”
“But how does any of this help us fix him?” Knuckles said, looking upset.
“Because…” the fox said proudly. “I may not know how to fix people, but I sure know how to fix robots!”
The entire team cheered at that, even Sticks.
“Alright!” Tails declared. “Guys, I need all of you to go back to Shadow’s cave and find anything that might help me fix him. Meanwhile, I’m going to hook him up to my computers and see what else I can figure out.”
“On it!” Sonic said, saluting. He rushed out the door with everybody else in tow, leaving Tails alone in the lab.
With an unconscious, highly advanced robot who also just happened to be his semi-friend.
“This is one of the best days of my life.” he whispered.
Fifteen minutes later, once he’d managed to access Shadow’s brain wirelessly, his computer crashed.
(And so did his mood. At least temporarily.)
Tails sighed, rewiring some ports in the back so that all of his various devices could share processing power. Then, he tried rebooting it and reconnecting it to Shadow.
Immediately, he received about twenty different error messages, including a [Files Incompatible: Open anyway?] request.
He selected [Yes] hesitantly, and then gasped as row after row of files filled his screen. Most of them were names he didn’t even understand…because they were all written in Ancient.
Tails scrambled for the original and translated copies of the robot manuscript that Amy had made him, hoping that he could use them as a sort of decoding mechanism for what he saw on screen. Thankfully, they did indeed make it a little easier to understand the writing—and the parts he could read were all incredible.
Shadow had an absolutely insane amount of files just for his sense of smell, let alone his optics and auditory sensors. And that wasn’t even touching his actual cognitive programming.
Once he’d finished geeking out, Tails ran a full diagnostic of Shadow’s body, and discovered the problem. The house had fallen on him in the right position to somehow…disconnect some of his processing capability? It didn’t entirely make sense, and Tails spent the next few minutes deep in thought.
Suddenly, he came to a realization. Very slowly, he clicked on the file labeled with what he hoped was the Ancients’ version of ‘opacity’, and crossing his fingers, he turned the slider contained within most of the way down.
And with that, the entirety of Shadow’s ‘fur’ faded to the same dull, transparent grey and pale red.
Beneath the rest of his silicone body, endless wires and metal framing lay. Even his eyelids were transparent (and Tails thought it was slightly creepy to see him staring blankly through them, if he was being entirely honest). And in the center of his body pulsed a bright blue crystal.
Looking closely, Tails could see that one of the clamps attaching a wire to the crystal had completely broken, leaving the wire detached. He knew at a glance that it wouldn’t match any of the clamp types he had—it was a completely unique make.
Unfortunately, that meant that all he could do now was wait for his friends to come back.
…
The other four were all busy searching through the boxes in Shadow’s cave, hoping to find something that matched what their engineer friend had seen inside him. Nothing seemed to fit the picture Tails had sent, though, and they were all starting to lose hope.
Sonic wandered throughout the cave, past the place where they’d found the mech. Only a little farther along, a rough bedroom was set up, and it made Sonic a little sad to see how poorly Shadow was living even compared to Knuckles these days.
Then, he noticed the corner of another cardboard box poking out from underneath the bed. Scrambling forward, he pulled it out, barely noting the carefully lettered label: Emergency Parts.
“Guys!” he yelled, already digging through the electronics. “Guys, I think I found it!” The others gathered around him just as he held up a clamp triumphantly, and Amy quickly matched it to the picture Tails had sent.
It was perfect.
Immediately, they all raced back to Tails’s workshop, the blue hedgehog making no effort to be gentle as he slammed the entire box down on the table. “Can you fix him?” Sonic asked, looking over at the android nervously.
“I think so?” Tails said hesitantly. “I spent some time searching through his command files and found a couple things that might help.”
He pressed a button, and a section of Shadow’s silicone covering pulled back to reveal his internal wiring. Carefully, Tails pulled out the broken clamp with his fingers (since there was no tool that matched the ones the Ancients had used) and replaced it with the new one. Then, the engineer pulled out some of his most delicate tools and gently reset the wire in its housing.
After a moment of careful inspection to make sure nothing was out of alignment, as well as a quick voltage check, Tails set the silicone covering back in place and sat back with a sigh. “We’ll just have to hope that he’ll be able to fix the rest on his own from here.” he said quietly, watching Shadow’s still body along with the others.
…
>>System malfunction: Corrected_
>>Rebooting_
Shadow gasped, sitting bolt upright.
He took a trembling breath, out of habit more than anything else. Looking around, he saw that he was in Tails’s (currently empty) lab. He relaxed marginally at that—so he was among friends. Good.
…Immediately afterwards, he remembered to feel embarrassed about how easy it was for him to feel safe around the other five these days.
Now then, what was he doing here? The last thing he remembered was saving that little girl from the house, and then everything went dark. As he looked around, however, he suddenly found that feeling of safety ripped right out of his head—
—when he noticed that his coloration had been dialed down to only twenty-five percent opacity. No matter whether it had happened during his injury, or afterwards here in the lab, it meant that the team knew.
As Shadow looked around with increasing terror, automatically running a self-diagnostic, he noticed that one of his clamps was registered as having been recently replaced. That must’ve been what knocked me out, he noted faintly. The most terrible part of all of it, though, was the fact that there were files filling up the entirety of Tails’s screen.
His files. The files that made up the personality of the creation named Shadow.
How long had they been looking through his head?!
Shadow terminated the connection instantly, his eyes flashing with a mixture of hurt and fury. And here he’d thought he could trust these heroes. They’d called him their friend. He scoffed to himself furiously, ignoring the betrayed pain building up inside him. He had been a fool.
And it was then that Tails appeared at the door.
The android bared his teeth defensively, leaping off the table and into a fighting stance.
“Guys?” Tails squeaked. “I…I don’t think Shadow’s happy with me…”
Suddenly, the rest of the team piled into the room, making Shadow take a sudden step backwards.
“You okay, Shads?” Sonic asked worriedly.
“Do you need anything?” Amy added.
Shadow snarled at them, his shoulders hunching. “Liars. Traitors! Don’t bother pretending you all still like me.”
“What?” Tails said, his eyes widening.
“You heard what I said!” he barked. “I know you all rifled through my head like a—a storage cabinet! Did you like what you saw? Was it fun?”
“No! No, Shads, we didn’t look at anything, except what we needed to fix you! We’d never!” Sonic cried, visibly taken aback.
“Sure.” he scoffed. “As if I’d believe that now.”
And with that, he vanished.
…
The team scoured the entire island in search of Shadow, but he was always one step ahead of them. After several hours of searching, they were forced to take a break, regrouping at Amy’s house.
“How does he keep on escaping?” Knuckles sighed, currently collapsed on the couch.
Tails frowned. “As long as his power source doesn’t die, he can theoretically keep going at the same pace for as long as he wants. We just can’t match up to that kind of persistence.”
Sonic began to type on his communicator even more quickly than usual, belying his stress. “Well, we might not be able to, but I know someone a little more experienced than us who could find him.”
“Nobody’s a better tracker than me!” Sticks cried.
“You are the best tracker we have…but you’re tired right now, and we need more people with different skills to find him.” Amy pointed out.
“Fine.” the badger huffed. “So who’s he calling?”
Sonic watched his communicator intently as three flashing dots appeared on the messaging app. “Someone who owes me a favor.”
Several minutes later, Vector kicked the door open. “Never fear, the Chaotix Detective Agency is here!” he cried.
“Agency?” Amy asked skeptically. “There’s only one of you.”
Vector smirked. “Well, sure. Last time you saw me, there was! But I’ve been asking around, putting up some ads on ConnectIn, and I managed to find these guys!” He stepped aside to reveal a chameleon dressed in stereotypical goth clothing and a hyperactive bee.
“He didn’t actually find either of us on ConnectIn.” the chameleon added. “I sought him out, and he just stumbled upon Charmy over there by pure chance.”
“Ohhhh wow, are you guys the heroes Vector told me about?” Charmy gasped, flying all around them excitedly.
“Yeah, they are. But right now we’re on the job, got it, pal?” Vector said, gently pulling the kid back to his side.
“Got it!” Charmy chirped (and then immediately grinned at the team the moment Vector looked away).
“Yeah, so this is Charmy, our resident scout, air support, and mascot,” Vector explained, “and this here is Espio. He’s got some cool ninja skills, so he helps me out too. A lot, if I’m being honest.”
The chameleon promptly turned invisible, making the other five gasp. “So cool…” Knuckles whispered.
Espio then reappeared, now with a slight blush on his face. “Thanks.” he said quietly.
“Now then, just sit back and relax!” Vector said cheerfully. “We’ll find your guy in no time, I promise!”
…
‘No time’ turned out to be exactly three hours and twenty-two minutes. During that time period, Amy managed to stress-bake two batches of banana muffins, Tails and Knuckles half-heartedly played a board game, Sticks was busy hiding the banana muffins in various ‘apocalypse caches’, and Sonic wore a circular hole in the rug.
All five of them nearly hit the roof when the Chaotix called Sonic’s communicator.
“Hey, Sonic!” Vector said. “Listen, we found your guy, but we have one tiny problem.”
“Yeah? What is it?” Sonic asked, his foot tapping rapidly.
Espio appeared in the picture. “He’s camped out in an old Ancient ruin, and he’s switched all of the defenses on. I was the only one who could get within forty feet without laser cannons trying to blast me to bits.”
“And we didn’t sign up to get blasted to bits!” Charmy chimed in.
“I, uh, I hope this won’t affect our payment?” Vector added hopefully.
“No way!” Sonic said hurriedly, eager to get on with things already. “I called you guys in to find him, not to bring him back here. Just send us the coordinates and we’ll call it all square, okay?”
Vector grinned. “It’s been great doin’ business with ya, Sonic! If you ever need something found again, just remember us and we’ll help you out!”
In the background, they could hear Charmy singing something that sounded an awful lot like “Team Chaotix! They’re detectives you want on your side!”
“Thanks so much, Vec. See ya!” Sonic said, signing off.
“Alright.” Amy said, punching a fist into her other hand. “Now all we have to do is get Shadow back.”
“That’s easier said than done.” Tails said, looking nervous. “I just got the coordinates, and this is a temple nobody’s even discovered before. It could be really dangerous.”
“Oh yeah? We can handle dangerous!” Knuckles said cheerfully.
A montage ensues in which the team prepares for the ordeal ahead. Tails gathers up all of his equipment, while Sticks does the same with their homemade monitoring devices. Amy smashes a few targets with her hammer, Knuckles practices his burrowing form, and Sonic adds some extra sports tape to his ankles.
Then, the scene cuts to the team approaching the ruins. They smile confidently and begin to charge in an epic slow motion shot—only to end up screaming and running back in the other direction when the laser cannons start firing.
“Alright, scrap the ‘Epic Hero Entrance’ plan.” Sonic wheezed. “Tails, you go ahead and disable the cannons. The rest of us can wait until you’re done.”
The fox dashed across the field, his tails whirring at top speed. After a few tense minutes, in which he was forced to work while plastered against the wall to stay in the cannons’ blind spots, he stuck out his hand with a thumbs-up as the machinery deactivated.
Knuckles inched out onto the field carefully, and when he wasn’t immediately turned into a scorch mark, the others followed behind him. Tails managed to open the doors not long after they reached his position, and they all braced themselves for the trials ahead.
Next up was a…completely empty hallway?
At least, it seemed that way until Sticks held up their hand, sniffing the air warily. After a moment, they blew chalk dust into the hall, revealing the laser beams that crisscrossed the way forward. Carefully, the badger dodged each and every beam until they made it to the other side, their foot automatically pressing a panel that deactivated the beams.
After that, there was a memory matching puzzle that ended up being solved by Amy, which took her a few tries to get right. As soon as she finished, she did a quick celebratory dance—before remembering that she was supposed to be the serious one, and if any of you think about mentioning that ever again, first remember the ten out of ten targets I hit with my hammer earlier.
Then, they were faced with a few riddles that Knuckles got right with his oddly specific riddling skills, and then (of course) a giant labyrinth with about twenty different hallways spiraling off it in every direction imaginable. Yes, that did include one pointing directly upwards. Sonic sped through each and every path until he found an exit that didn’t lead to a pit of flames, a pit of snakes, a spike trap, a pit of piranhas, or any other kind of murder-inclined pits. Then, he shot off a guided flare that Tails had provided to show the way, and the rest simply followed the glowing trail directly to him.
Carefully, they all lined up, staring down into the darkness ahead. A faint light emanated from the end of the hall, showing them the way they hoped would lead to their missing friend.
[screen fades to black]
[This time it’s Tails complaining. “Aw, come on! Another cliffhanger? We’re almost to the best part!”]

Heyy
So ask for when u r bored
Do u think that Raj was bi??
Well, 'Heyy' to you, too! :)
In the show, it states that Raj is metrosexual, meaning he "likes women aswell as their skin products." But then, there's also making out with Howard on that machine.
I've always thought of him as bi-curious or a closeted bisexual, really. Always making excuses as quickly as possible when accused of being gay usually means one of two things:
Said person is closeted and not ready to come out due to either timing or internal homophobia
Said person is homophobic, either openly or with excuse
(These reasons are not always true, they have just been what I've seen in my personal life.)
Nothing's wrong with being gay, bi, lesbian, trans, etc. I love everyone equally - you all are odd. Some more or less, but that doesn't dent my opinion on them. :)

Do you think that ML fics often turn the characters into complete jerks?
I'mma be honest, Nonny: I'm having trouble understanding what exactly you're asking here. Like...you understand how fics - how storytelling - actually works, right?
Yes, you have writers out there who dislike X or Y (...lol not sorry 😂) and use the fic as a means to convey that dislike. I feel like a lot of times that's how salt fic comes about? It can be intentional or unintentional: sometimes you focus on the negative aspects of a character, exaggerating them like you would a caricature. Sometimes those negative traits are already there and people aren't afraid to call X/Y out on 'em.
Sometimes it's because you don't like that character, but sometimes it's to suit the purposes of the story you need to tell? I'm currently working on a selkie AU that could be seen as putting Adrien in a bad light (I feel like I'm using what's already there and, like above, exaggerating it a bit to fit my needs), but it's what the story needs. Likewise, I know someone who's working on a fic where Tom and Sabine are painted as bad parents - something most of us would not at all claim but, for the purpose of the story, it works and makes sense. In both cases, it's not...well ok. Fine. It's no secret I don't like Adrien, but that's why I usually just avoid writing him; he fits the role I need for the selkies and drew short straw. But in my friend's case, it's not because they don't like T/S; its just a role that needs filled.
What I'm getting at: You really need to understand storytelling before you ask a question like this. It's not a simple yes/no. Most writers I know aren't looking to go "I'm gonna make A an asshole today!" We're writing specific stories with specific roles that characters need to fill. If your fav happens to fill that Jerk Role, it's nothing personal; it's just the story.
(...sometimes it is intentional. But, for example, painting Gabriel as a terrorist or Lila as a bully isn't exactly a stretch, right? We work with what the show gives us & build on it.)
#ver asks#nonny asks#ml fic#writing#i'll let you in on a trade secret#bad guys are necessary#sometimes people ARE jerks#i'm sorry if your fav comes under fire#but even nice people have bad days#happy people fight too#sorry I just really don't understand what you're getting at here 😂#if they're a jerk in the fic it was intentional i assure you

Hey river person? Couldja give me a ride to the steamworks? *they don't look like an employee. They do however look like a soldier. You notice they have a chipped human soul and some void burns*
@cristian-and-pyre
River Person does a double take when they see the human Soul, staring in alarm, worry, and confusion, but they keep themselves composed.
"Tra la la, of course, I will take you anywhere,"
...After a moment of boating, they whisper to them "stay safe out there,"
#undertale ask blog#river person ask blog#ask blog#river person au#undertale au#Mun: They are the Best person that you can trust to keep a secret#also the Steamworks isn't 'cannon' in this AU because I don't know anything about Yellow#but I'll let this pass#River Person said that they'll take them ANYWHERE#and THAT IS A PROMISE

this is the current song i'm learning, love's sorrow arranged by rachmaninov. it is beautiful and it is giving me a lot of problems because it is unfortunately rachmaninov. if you notice the song played to perfection is 4:35 long. i am... not playing it in four minutes that's for sure lol. a work in progress.
the piece i've always wanted to play is of course la campanella by listz. the piano piece. listen to this version by evgeny kissin which i like best, but @ivettel ames might have different suggestions kekekeke! it is very very very far from me at the moment because i took a long ass time off classical music and i'm slowly finding my way back to it. huehuehue. it'll be awhile before i dare attempt this piece. but i hope i will one day.
oh my god you're asking about my vegetables i'm about to become an unskippable cutscene
look at my gooseberries and cherry tomatoes! look at my zucchini! the most perfectest zucchini ever! look at my silly looking garlic! look at my chilis that are so shiny and glossy and way too spicy for me! and look at the lil ladybug hanging out on my carrot stems!
i'm not good at this by any means i usually just throw seeds into the ground and call it a day but you know what i've learned? things just wanna grow.
#and then everything wants to eat it#rats aphids birds you name it#my kale was not sexy enough for a photo there were too many bugs#i'll let you in on a secret i'm not actually a big vegetable fan#why do i do this you ask?#i just like growin!#kekekeke#athy texts#ask game

i pass pretty much all the time but hm. ive heard interesting stuff from drunk ppl i know who dont know im trans
#''haha when my bf was talking about you and i asked to see a picture he showed me one and i was like... is that right? bc i thought that was#a girl in that pic. i mean only bc i didnt expect him to have any girlypop friends haha''#yeah i mean that is an average thing to say and not mean or anything but it hits a bit different when im trans#i mean the person saying that didnt know and if they did they would have never said anything like that#but it's still a bit. hmmm.#also the topic of my looks came up and it's funny how everyone thinks i'm cute#i wish i could b masc hot but im fine with being cute. not everyone can look good the same way#but like it's so common for the only compliment transmascs get being ''cute'' for various reasons but i think in my case it's just my#wavy hair and slight babyface and round features#which yeah ok whatever i'm still young - ive got plenty of time to start looking less like a boy and more like a man#as in even if i was a cis guy id look pretty much like this#though! im only 2 years on t so i cant wait what the future holds for how i'll look :3c#well almost 2 and a hlaf but yknow#also i have a slight. can i say this. ''tranny voice'' which. slay. but i was told i ''sound like a femboy'' which#once again super funny that ppl say that stuff bc they genuinely cant tell im trans#the only reason i pass is bc i get read as [justin mcelroy voice] kinda faggy#oh that guy over there with wide hips and feminine manners and voice and small feet and hands [compared to cis men] with an apparently cute#face who doesnt seem to know anything about stereotypical guy stuff? thats a cis man#and i love that#but also one of these ppl is not cis#if you saw me irl you'd know im insanely easy to clock for trans people#but yeah whatever im just amused by all this it's kind of fun having ppl not know im trans#but also i have a new friend who doesnt know and i think i should let him know at some point if it comes up bc idk man. it feels like im#living a secret life or something. like obviously no one has the right to know im trans but. i can make the choice of wanting someone toknow#but also hes my only guy friend who lives in this city. well technically not the only one i have another friend but we never hang out irl.#anyways i dont want to ruin our broship#i dont think itd get ruined and if it did itd just mean whatever but im still scared#agh idk#leevi talks

'for the children' they say. fuck off.#'leaves them with less choice as adults' what does that even fucking mean. nothing! it means nothing. its to scare you.#do i need to send a letter home to call a child by a nickname instead of their government birthname??#i'll let you all in on a secret: my government name is not char. but my teachers called me it. and my parents didnt need to be notified.#and the world didnt end!#i had a pride flag up in my room. and a kid asked me what it meant. and immediately i knew it was delicate.#hes like whats it for. and im like well. what does a flag mean to you? do you have a flag you connect with?#and the kid was like yeah. its like. community. and im like yeah! that's what this is for some people. it's also a show of support.#and the kid said 'oh i get it.' and then a pause. 'i like the colours' and i said me too!#and we talked about his country flag and other country flags and completely moved on#but he listened! and he learned! this kid hardly listens to me teach but he respects when i'm real.#auoghhh. so many kids affected. genuinely makes me ill. on top of everything.#i dont even know#c.text

This TL×PK thing has been a wild ride this far even though it's only beginning. On one hand my jaw is still on the floor and on the other hand, I can kinda see it? Get into it but in a crack way? Anyway, I know the ship ride's still new, but what if that's why TL and his forces target WL once he gets infected? Jealous PK crush combined with Radi's goddess rage :3c
YEAH, IT'S. I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT HERE. I JUST WANTED TO EXPLORE A POSSIBLE DYNAMIC IN A CRACK SHIP AND WENT INTO LEGITIMATELY SHIPPING THEM IN LIKE 3 HOURS TOPS HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. HELP ME.
Anyways that'd be. Legitimately funny JDBDJDHD Radiance playing into his jealousy
What a hypocrite, I love him
#asks#thylacines can talk#I'll let you in on a secret though. I'm digging tl x pk x wl in a triad. Fucker can pull TWO gods#caps
