my little brother’s unbelievably awkward cat for your viewing pleasure. I told him she always looks like she’s in a really uncomfortable social setting she doesn’t know how to get out of. He told me “that’s because she is in one whenever she’s around you”

“AFAB/AMAB language has no actual impact on your daily life, it’s an internet argument. why do you care so much?”

i went to a new doctor a little while ago, and they looked up PMDD as it’s not a diagnosis they were familiar with. IAPMD’s website referred to it as a “condition affecting people who were AFAB,” so the doctor tried to remove it from my record because according to her research it “didn’t apply to me.”

bioessentialist phrases becoming hyper-normalised, especially in medical spaces like has recently been happening, has an incredibly large impact on intersex people

I was watching Safiya Nygaard’s new video and ?????

Why is Phil Lester at the scene of the crime

It actually means so much to me that Taissa and Shauna are both canonically wlw and have the closest, most uncomplicated relationship in the show so far.

Like what do you mean those are two queer girls who are each other’s ride or die? What do you mean they basically had a child together because of how involved Tai was and then lost it and thus lost their opportunity to be the parents they could’ve been? Even in the adult timeline when other friendships and relationships are strained, they fall into rhythm with one another and understand each other intimately. They’re stuck living the wrong life. They have spouses they don’t want, children they don’t truly want, because family’s been ruined for them. It was ruined by two tragic girls they can no longer have, and they ruined it for each other because they had a baby. Once upon a time they had a baby who was everything. While that baby was in Shauna’s womb, they had a family.

Throughout everything in every season so far, they’ve had each other’s backs. And the fact that they’re both wlw. The fact that their understanding extends to that. That they have such a deep bond not based on this, but strengthened by it. Like legitimately the love and understanding forged between them over the course of both timelines and between is incomprehensible to me

Anyway I think we as a fandom just need to be more insane about them in any and every context

I have a super serious art request

Draw whatever you want to draw

THANK YOU, now I have an excuse to draw my silliest favorite character from literally my only happy Gravity Falls AU: Mimic!Stan.

The basic premise of the lore:

And some extra rambles about the AU:

Mimics are different from shapeshifters! While the latter tend to be more fluid in shape- frequently changing appearance and form for brief moments- mimics usually stick to one disguise for a longer period of time. They do alter their shape, but they prefer to maintain a relatively consistent form for as long as they need until they need a new one.

Mimics are reality alterers. They are more powerful than shapeshifters, in a way, but their abilities are still considered relatively minor, compared to more powerful reality alterers.

This is because a mimic's main goal is to establish a long term food source to feed themselves, and in order to do that, they need a long term shape / identity (hence why they don't often shift forms). They will either build an entirely new identity, or take over an existing person's life in order to seamlessly infiltrate and artificially graft themselves into their surroundings. They mildly alter reality around them in order to solidify their mimicry.

For example, you could one day suddenly find yourself with a new uncle. He didn't exist yesterday, but every family photo in your house indicates that he has been present in your life since the beginning. Your memories now contain him, even though you've never met this man before. Everyone else around you also remember him, and recognize his face and voice, even though until today, he didn't even have an identity. It's like he's always been there, but he hasn't, really. That's what mimics do.

-------------------------

Stan is a mimic! He was considered the runt amongst the mimics in Gravity Falls back when the town was new. He was young (in mimic standards) and inexperienced, and expected to starve within a few months. His mimicry was fine, but his reality altering abilities were weak. He was unable to properly integrate himself into town, and kept failing.

ENTER STAGE STANFORD PINES. Born twin-less and former child prodigy, recently graduated from West Coast Tech and having finally escaped his stifling hometown, Ford is thrilled to have arrived in Gravity Falls! Hopefully he won't be as lonely in this new town as he spent his childhood, constantly feeling like he's missing a piece of himself. (*wink wink*)

Good news for Ford, he'll soon be getting an anomaly knocking right at his door, looking exactly like him and insisting that he's his twin brother. Yes, really! Check your photographs. What do you mean your photos are empty? Damnit, again?

(It was Stan. He failed. Again. He's lucky Ford is weird and sees this as a perfect research opportunity.)

My buddy made this and wanted me to post it for you guys

some of the worst people in the world to talk to are the ones who hear you talk about the incredibly widespread abuse in homeschooling and how that is systematically enabled by the enshrinement of the family and then go "well it depends on the person. because i was the queerest most disabledest most bullied student ever with the kindest most accepting most quakerest parents ever and homeschooling was actually really good for me".

like yes thank you for that, and now next up on our panel: the kid who actually really got a lot of self confidence out of the military and thinks "child soldiers are bad" needs more nuance

it’s been a long time but ‘Robin serenely drifting in the current’ got me ngl

First post in a while and ofc Tumblr nerfs it

great

It's raining nonstop where I am so I'm just picturing the Batfam during a flood.

Red Robin uploads a TikTok from the safety of a roof saying "watch him go!" As Red Hood keeps trying to drive his bike against the current. A big wave comes by and he's slowly dragged downhill. The caption reads "don't drive during floods".

Batman and Robin are on the ground helping civilians out of cars when the intensity doubles and in minutes Damian goes from wading knee deep in the water to swimming. The emergency batfloaties get triggered and he floats away as Bruce fails to grab him by half an inch. "Robin serenely drifting in the current" becomes a meme.

Someone takes a picture of a very flustered spoiler trying to squeeze the water out of her cape. The second she lets go the weight of the water makes her fall ass over backwards. Black Bat ends up giving her her waterproof cape.

Signal makes mirages of sharks in the water to scare the shit out of any criminals. Oracle uploads the recordings with Benny hill as background music. Bludhaven escapes the worst of the storm and Nightwing sends pictures to the group chat patting the barely wet concrete just to rub it in. He still slips on a puddle and eats shit, Barbara sends that to the group chat.

Sure :)

EDIT: I just realized I forgot to draw his lapel teeth and pocket mouth. IGNORE THAT.
