#This is SUCH. A STUPID HILL TO DIE ON I /KNOW/

[lordplavis]

I'm not sure if this is satirical or not but...like....

This is how to get me.

Like an intricate world to dive into and explore? Yes please!

Plus in the time while the works is explained there is plenty of time to get to know each other.

And the whole setup is so fucking weird I don't have to worry about me getting judged for my weird stuff. Which is amazing and a green flag because weird (usually)= kinda nice .

Also you can't have lore inaccurate erotic roleplay just like you can't have lore inaccurate jokes. (And I will die on this hill)

The only weird thing is the one person expecting the other person to know all these things I personally would add clarification for example what usage of the word cake I use in this instance.

Like the other person probably knows but it's important to make sure so you're understood.

(and if you don't believe me that I've done stuff like that during sex you don't know what fucked up weird quirky shit I do.... (Mostly very silly stupid jokes))

heyy can we do a sexy roleplay where im a prince from a fallen kingdom and youre the powerful warrior who has taken me for their own pleasure. yes? yipeeee ok so before we start first here's a google doc with the whole history of the fictional land we're both from and the intricate geopolitical workings of the- oh yeah and here's a supplementary doc on the agriculture and trade routes of said fictional land and stuff and yes this is important. the dirty talk has to be lore accurate

I'm a pre-T trans man. I have been a victim of misogyny, because I was, y'know, seen as a woman for the first sixteen years of my life, and still have to deal with some of its forms every so often- toxic masculinity is a byproduct of misogyny, after all.

Now I'm mostly seen as a man by people I interact with- I still present as a woman when leaving the house for safety reasons, but I can always bank on the stupid little christian girl disguise getting me out of trouble if, say, someone takes issue with something I say and throws a fit. I have an out- it requires reinforcing misogyny, sure, but if it's that or coming out to a cop, I know which one I'm taking, and that's damn near the only situation I'm pulling it out for, because I hate that mask- it's what was forced on me most of my life, after all.

The fact that there's so many other trans men who'd rather completely accept that bioessentialist role of hapless victim, incorporate it into their daily lives and identity as men, then twist it into a weapon against trans women is fucking disgusting- and I don't know if it makes me more sad or angry that so many of them somehow don't seem to realize that's what they're doing, particularly the slew of literal teenagers who have decided their hill to die on is attacking trans women for talking about their experiences on their own blogs.

Are a lot of them bitter and mean? Well, duh- I was a bitter asshole at 13, when everyone I knew was constantly making cracks at me not being a real person, just a narcissist, a robot, dozens of other names hurled at me simply for existing, but mostly people just thought I was a bitch who didn't know her place. Turns out when a bunch of teenagers are yelling at you for existing, you probably don't feel like being very nice to them- I held my head up, learned to enjoy my own company, and contented myself with being smarter than them.

I got to grow up, realize I'm a man, and escape that cycle- no, I don't pass, but I put a male name and my personality disorder in my bio, and most people either don't care, or block me and vague about narcissists getting too comfortable. Either way, I don't have to deal with them.

Trans women do not get that privilege- every move they make is scrutinized, and sooner or later, someone will find something they can interpret as being just a bit too haughty and crack down on her with all the righteous fury of a Texan calling the police on someone for being topless inside their own home. Yes, that's a crime here, if you have a window in the front of your house. I mean, what if there's a child walking by with binoculars? Obviously, we can't have children knowing bare breasts exist, then they might think having a body isn't a sin.

You can be a man and not be a misogynist- but if you can't accept that trans women are women, and are thus affected by misogyny, you will never succeed in breaking the cycle- all you'll do is reinforce it.

Ignorance is only bliss for the ones with their eyes closed- and trans women and other transfeminine folks have been the ones thrown under the bus time and time again for far too long.

"ohhh the lyrics are 'if I was green I would die' not dabadee dabadie"

Then why is the official title of the song 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)'

Reigen is one of those characters where like. he clearly has a strong moral code but not in a way that makes any fucking sense. People compare him to other con artist characters all the time but he would hate these people because he has an ethical objection to taking people’s money without actually helping them solve their problems. even though usually his method to solve these problems is Lying.

he is a con artist who’s morally opposed to scamming people. he has so many scruples and yet continues to run a business where he lies to literally everyone who comes through the door. i am going to study him like a bug.

I swear if I see one more fic where Holmes gets to call Watson by his first name but not vice versa I'm killing someone. Let Him Say Sherlock!!

i do firmly believe tbh that kesel & co intended kon to be a fully kryptonian clone of superman from the start, and only brought the "metahuman clone of paul westfield with a metagene to mimic superman's powers" thing in because of editorial and the last son mandate. kon introduces himself as a clone of superman, is recharged later in his solo by exposure to concentrated sunlight, and, crucially, in superboy/robin: world's finest three, is vulnerable to kryptonite. also, notably, during "the harvest" arc in superman comics a little later, he's vulnerable to red sun energy. this is before anything remotely to do with geoff's stupidass luthor retcon - kon's pretty much just written as fully kryptonian as soon as editorial isn't scrutinizing him after his debut. it's interesting to ponder...

I think Mike heard Will loud and clear in the van and that he's not as oblivious as everyone (including Finn) thinks he is.

I think he clocked that commission lie almost instantly. Almost.

I think he would have pulled Will into his arms the second he heard him crying if Jon and Argyle weren't there, in case he hadn't come out to them yet.

But the second Will reminded him, "You're the Heart," and El was literally on her deathbed, it was over. He gave up.

A thing I did not have on my bingo card about Tumblr’s implementation of mature content warnings was how firmly they would cement for me something that I kinda already knew, namely the hilarious dark irony that one of my more reliable triggers is. Trigger warnings. Like it’s not typically day-ruining or unmanageable, but I see a “mature content” label on a piece of art with a super tame and stylized and non-gory depiction of blood and BOY does a stupid little danger alarm start blaring insistently in my brain. Funniest possible example of competing access needs

Recently I saw a post that was saying something along the lines of how we shouldn't call fantasy minotaurs "minotaurs" because of the original meaning of the name being specific to how it was the "bull of minos" and denoting a specific individual.

I'm going to be honest, I don't agree with this. There are various reasons, but one of the main ones is that it just feels... wrong? Like if you have minotaurs in your fantasy setting but call them something like "bullmen" or something it just sounds incorrect because it's literally a minotaur. You don't see fantasy stuff commonly calling things that look like dragons and fly like dragons "wingsaurs" or something that isn't a variation of wyvern, wyrm, drake, or dragon because it's literally a dragon.

And I also just don't think there are a lot of good name substitutions that actually work? Like I said, minotaur is so synonymous with what it is that it just feels wrong to change the name for that reason. Giving it some scientific name like "homo taurus" would just be weird, and unless you're substantially making it something that isn't a minotaur then you're just taking unnecessary extra steps.

i will sell my kidneys on the black market if portal stones & flicker flicker make the show. there's just no way. look at how crunched the pacing has been so far this season and how we can barely even fit in 1 scene for each main character into every episode, do you honestly think the show will or should waste extremely precious screentime on showing rand living a bunch of alternate lives that have absolutely 0 effect on his character arc or the story? be serious

[lunarblazes]

nobody will ever understand the beef i have with some of the tf vocab words. like who decided that teeth are “denta” and tongues are “glossa” like that. doesn’t flow correctly in an english sentence dude. that does not sound right. don’t even get me started on how venting or intake is used to mean breathing in or out. DEFINITELY don’t get me started on the ENTIRE CONCEPT of CYBERTRONIANS DRAWING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN BOTS AND FEMMES? WHY IS BOT NOT A GENDER NEUTRAL TERM? ESPECIALLY SINCE IT REFERS TO… THE AUTOBOTS? WHY ARE THEY BASING IT ON HUMAN PERCEPTIONS OF GENDER?

videos that talk about if you have this undertone or this eye color of this hair type you can’t wear this color at all make me so mad 😭 it takes ANY fun out of make up and it’s also simply not true! you can make almost any color work for you depending on placement and tone as well as by acknowledging that it doesn’t matter and it’s what you like! it drives me crazy
