#SOMETHING THAT IS BOTH NORMAL TO WANT AND POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE

something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve

All ten of my followers are actually hostages I have tied up in an abandoned grain silo & am monologuing to

[crimsonender]

did you have any trans women guests on that "the trannies are being mean to our poor poor men" stream of yours or was it just an echo chamber

yep. I did! I was originally going to have two but my other planned guest is a brand new aunt and she couldn't end up making it unfortunately. I originally had one planned trans masc guest and two planned trans femme guests, but only one out of the three planned people came so I made it completely open mic. I also had a bigender person, a femme nonbinary person, and a cis woman. both the trans and cis woman that came to my stream are also women of colour, the two trans mascs that ended up showing are poc (myself and one guest) and the nonbinary person is black.

I'm not sure what that comes up to in your Transgender Optics Calculator but make sure to calculate for any rounding errors! I really want to pass the idpol grade of Having The Right Kind of People Show Up to a Voluntary Open Mic something's that's both normal to want and possible to achieve.

Real talk why does social interaction feel like you’re trying to get a good grade in being a person

Tried my hand at redesigning Lucy from Fairy Tail! Notes and separate images under the cut.

[EDIT: I now have another post for more notes and world building!]

I wanted to give her a little more “working towards casual” vibes, because I wish it was explored a little more how being raised rich affected her behavior - or rather, how she *doesn’t* act. I HC she spent the time pre-Natsu but post running away kinda training herself to not default to rich, polite heiress. There was a lot of people watching involved. She may or may not have a notebook titled “How to people”. When she’s really tired or stressed, she’ll fall back on talking formally, though she usually catches herself fairly quickly by the time Natsu bulldozes his way into her life. She prefers talking casually, but the formal speech comes in useful when dealing with particularly picky rich clients (or royalty).

(On a completely unrelated note if anyone has fics along this vein send them my way)

Anyways I like to think my version has a very close, familial relationship with all her spirits. She’ll call one out most days, even just to hang and talk for a while. It very conveniently doubles as stamina training for her - not that she actually needs the excuse, but if she does happen to need one that’s her go-to. They are all very protective of her, especially Aquarius, who despite how it seems cares very much for Lucy and basically helped raise her after Layla passed. Lucy appreciated how Aquarius treats her like literally anyone, and Aquarius is her go to for life advice; Aquarius herself has a habit of accosting the other spirits as they come back for status updates.

I go to a crafting faire. I see a stand with knitwork. I approach. To prove I am not like the other plebians, I flip it over.

I compliment the floats. I ask if they blocked it.

The woman is suitably impressed. She sees I am like her. We talk about the wool blend for a couple of minutes, and I buy nothing.

LET'S GOOOOOO <3 I love you forever and always, AO3!!!

Context:

I originally started using the tag "Vox's One-Sided Psychosexual Obsession With Alastor (Hazbin Hotel)" for my fic series 666: Live On Air! and a lot of people thought it was snazzy enough to use in their own fics, to the point where there are now multiple pages of fics that use that tag! I recently noticed that the tag "Vox's Obsession with Alastor (TM)" got canonized, which was awesome!

However, out of the 71 works in that tag at the time of me noticing, 56 used at least the word "psychosexual" and most included the entire original tag I had started with. So I (honestly mostly figuring it was a long shot) sent AO3 Support an email mentioning that and asking if they could also canonize the original, because I genuinely thought it was both a well-liked and useful tag in full.

AND THEY DID! I AM SO PLEASED.

it will never stop being funny to me how much Aziraphale (and later Crowley) is fucking speedrunning the “sheep and the goats” passage with Jim:

A stranger and they invited him in ✅

Naked and they clothed him ✅

Thirsty and they gave him something to drink ✅

Sick and in prison and they visited him ✅

are they doing this just to be hospitable? yes

will they get a good grade in the Jesus Pop Quiz portion of the Second Coming? also yes

[plaguedocboi]

Oh my god I’m going to get a good grade in Edits,

[anna-neko]

shaking crying throwing up

my arms are too short for selfies.....

Also if u were there - I..uh..am the reason Freddie yelled down the line that the Volume Button is the one to hit (my bad my bad... can't camera w/out Terry to help me)

[sing-you-fools]

i would feel much better about life if every time i had to Do Something, i was first presented with a Rubric that told me exactly what was required to get a good grade in Doing [that particular] Something

[moghedien]

its so funny because every time I come up with a new tav and I think of a backstory, murdering people always plays a significant part of said backstory for no intentional reason and that's not including my durge where obviously murder is mandatory

EXCEPT for the Tav I romanced Minthara with, who's backstory is basically "straight A student with perfect attendance who got kidnapped on the first day of her new job"

Bookwyrm is a book review site that's like a smaller competitor to Goodreads that I like to double-up on so I have a running record of my reviews in another place in case Am*z*n ever blacklists me. Since it's not as popular, sometimes I have to manually import a book into their system in case no other Bookwyrm user has already read/reviewed it on there. This happens quite a lot because I like to give smaller authors and presses a chance, and it's always such a rush posting that first review and rating before anyone else.

yk those forms that are like “how would you rate your experience here at [business] and how can we improve” i thinking about making one of those all the time but for how i’ve been as a friend
