My guilty pleasure right now is watching luxury hotel reviews and I found this british guy who keeps accidentally clipping into the backrooms.

He's unintentionally making the best liminal horror content on youtube

Hello, I LOVE your art! If you're still taking requests, maybe our bi disaster Vax?

Thank you both, OF COURSE you can have a Vax, and I even randomly landed on a very Keyleth palette ?? That bird boy sure is entangled with Fate

Don't wanna cause issues, but referring to 'queer' as 'the q-slur' is terf rhetoric and is something that many people have been pushing back against hardcore, many many people have been asked to tag their own identity as a slur, when it has long since been reclaimed. Prob not everyone saying queer is a slur is a terf, but they are repeating it from terfs and at that point how do you tell. Obv feel free to do your own research, if you choose to post this I'll come in the replies with some posts.

I’ve definitely read a lot about that, and frankly I vibe with it, but I feel it’s important to explain my perspective: aside from me being gray-asexual, for all intents and purposes im a cisgender straight white man. I abhor terfs, I think they are insidious and bigoted and should be silenced at all costs. And I think the reclaiming of the term queer is a good thing for those who embrace it, its a good catch-all. But as a cisgender straight man, I don’t think it’s my place to say what someone should or shouldn’t feel comfortable using as a term for themsevles. I’m not gonna criticize a black person for using the n-word just because probably not all black people are okay with it being reclaimed and still feel the pain it causes, and so the same applies to me speaking to the LGBT community.

(side note: i’m a long time advocate for ace inclusion in the LGBT community, the only reason i’m separating myself into basically beign straight despite my identification as gray-ace is cuz this shit is a very recent discovery for me, i’m still figuring out how it plays a role in my life, and i’m seeing what i feel comfortable with in terms of what box i put myself in, if i choose to put myself in a box at all)

So outside of who i am, from a purely thought-driven perspective, yes I support the reclaiming of the term queer. But it is still used as a slur out in the world against LGBT people, and if someone sees me, a cisgender straight man, touting it around like “Woohoo it’s so much fun for you LGBT people to reclaim slurs! Everyone’s on the same page so say I, hooray!” It’s gonna come across wrong, it’s gonna come across as someone outside of the community getting involved in shit like that.

So yeah from my perspective I think it’s good to use that term and reclaim it, but I also don’t want to alienate anyone who is not there yet, or not there at all, they can’t separate the negative aspects of that term from it. From what I’ve seen online, different parts of the LGBT community are at different speeds when it comes to reclaiming slurs. I see people online even reclaiming the f-slur, which from my perspective is WAY ahead of the curve lol, but that’s their prerogative. And if you use the term queer, you’ve got my support. But i’m not here to be prescriptive, I’m not here to paint in broad strokes. If someone I know uses the term queer then I will use it with them, but if someone I know says “hey could you not use that term, I’m not comfortable with it,” then I will not. And of course if said person ends up being a terf then fuck them. I’m not here to cater to terfs, I’m here to cater to people still on their journey of self-identification and growing comfort with who they are in this big community.

And of course, to my many LGBT friends, to my friends or anyone who does use the term queer, please share your thoughts! My main goal is to spread the message of the LGBT community and not just preach what I think like an armchair philosopher. Tell me what you think about a cishet man promoting this kind of stuff when its in the midst of people not being comfortable with the term and then terf’s latching onto that to promote their own bullshit. Please let me know if i’m off base or whatever, so yeah ramble is now over thank u.

Bryce is a man and like a stereotypical New York Cop for no reason, like just inexplicably straight out of Law and Order. Man Bryce is immediately sus of the M9 and is a lowkey antagonist who keeps popping up everywhere trying to arrest them. Also there's no trans/nb characters in straight CR obv, J'mon is also a man bc he's in charge so clearly he's a man, so is the leader of the Cobalt Soul. Apologies for your suffering lmao.

i wanted bryce back but at what cost,,,,,,

FIC REC WEEK 33 – NICHE KINKS

An engineer's dream by KafkaTamura

Pairing: Steve/Tony/Jarvis Rating: E Words: 23,039 Tags: Technophilia, Fucking Machine, Exhibitionism

Summary: Steve has something to tell Tony: he's dating Jarvis. Which is fine and all that. But now Tony wants to help, in the best way he can think of. Or course it involves engineering and fucking machines, what else would you expect?

Reasons why I love it: I really love that we get to see each of their points of view after the other, it adds a lot to the story. The whole concept of Tony being so eager to help Steve and JARVIS with their relationship is super sweet, and the way it naturally progresses into polyamory is wonderful. I love this one, and I bet you will too!

Growing Closer by AliceAce14

Pairing: Steve/Bucky, OT6 Rating: NR Words: 43,215 Tags: Sharing a Body, Telepathy, Consentacles

Summary: When the Red Skull launches himself into space, something else falls through. A tiny alien that Steve comes to call Bucky. The alien lives in Steve's body, growing inside with his permission, helping him navigate the future.

Reasons why I love it: I never knew that I needed parasite Bucky living inside Steve and instigating Avengers orgies, but I'm so happy that this exists. It's super wholesome how Steve and Bucky quell their loneliness with each other, and the smut later on is hot as hell. I adore this fic, and if you haven't read it yet, you're definitely missing out!

Bang My Boyfriend by OhCaptainMyCaptain

Pairing: Steve/Bucky, Steve/Everyone Rating: E Words: 20,921 Tags: Gangbang, Porn with Feelings, Established Relationship

Summary: Bucky arranges to fulfill one of Steve's darkest fantasies: getting gangbanged by all of the Avengers. (Yeah, this is shameless smut. Some PLOT if you squint, with some feels thrown in (mostly between Steve and Bucky.))

Reasons why I love it: This fic almost feels like a character study, what with all the different ways that the Avengers interact with Steve and Bucky during sex. In addition to that, it's hot as hell, and I really love the trust and adoration that Steve and Bucky share to be able to orchestrate this whole thing in the first place. It's amazing, and you should definitely read it!

Honestly as we know Liam is very not handsome, however he was almost acceptable when he had a goatee for a while for The Phoenix Incident, which obv I did not watch bc why would I, it is clearly a garbage movie w no redeeming qualities.

It’s literally the worst movie ever! The acting is horrible but you’re right, Liam’s facial hair is the only redeeming quality in a shit sandwich.

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Shroud of the Unburied
Wondrous item, rare ___

This canvas burial shroud is permanently stained red and is worn like a cloak. When you’re reduced to 0 hit points while wearing the shroud but not killed outright, it magically wraps around you to protect your unconscious body. You immediately gain 25 temporary hit points, which remain for 10 minutes or until you regain any hit points, at which point the shroud unwraps from you. While you have these temporary hit points, you can neither gain nor suffer any death saving throw successes or failures, and whenever a creature within 10 feet of you deals damage to you, it immediately takes 2d12 necrotic damage.

Once the shroud has granted temporary hit points in this way, it can’t do so again until 3 days have passed. In the meantime, you must make a DC 5 Constitution saving throw whenever you finish a long rest. On a failed save, you gain only the benefits of a short rest, as you’re plagued by horrific visions of long-dead spirits. ___

Hey, I was wondering if you've read Snipers Solve 99% of All Problems by silentwalrus? It's a HP/FMA crossover that's crack treated seriously and the characterizations of the FMA gang are so incredibly delightful and the comedy is hilarious. It's mostly the FMA crew being incredibly Done with wizard bullshit.

Ive actually heard of it, but the problem is ive never read or watched much of HP, and i dont even remember the last time i saw one of the movies (which is probably several years ago) so like, idk maybe i could check it out, i just might be clueless on most of the stuff theyre gonna talk about thats related to HP

Ok but re: my son Vax. I love him so dearly and his ending was painful but to me it makes the whole campaign. That bittersweet ending was so much more powerful to me than a happily ever after, not in a 'only sad shit is deep' way, but the utter truth and inevitable Fate of it spoke to me in a real way that hurt so good. The real emotions behind it, everything Liam was going through, Sam trying so hard, was so much more impactful than if the dice had rolled differently. Be not afraid of the end.

oh geez ;_; i am Trying hhh but i am very painfully aware that every moment i have brings me closer to the end. i knew molly was going to die but i didn’t know how or when and 26 truly knocked me sideways. even knowing that there are a hundred and fifteen vax-filled episodes...i love him so much already tbh. in the back of my head, even now at the beginning, my brain keeps going “okay, you’re down to 100 more episodes with vax”.

i know, i Know the ending is going to be good, and i’ve watched the saddest counterspell so many times and even without all that context it hits me hard, but i do get a weird...like...i’ll be really caught up in early campaign antics and having a great time and it will suddenly hit me that vax is going to die. and then it hits me that that’s not just a fiction thing. that’s an everyone thing. every time i talk to someone that is one less day i will have with them, because either they will die or i will.

so i’m trying to be like molly--and just accept it--and realize that that makes it that much more beautiful, and honestly i’m...okay this is getting weirdly deep but it’s almost five in the morning and i haven’t slept so you can’t blame me, but i’m not afraid to die. not in a suicidal way but in a just...i’ve accepted that we’re all going to end kind of way. and in dealing with death in my real life i’ve felt pretty alright about accepting the passage of people and pets and knowing that any moment could be your last, and i think that to try and hold on to things is to make them meaningless--one of my favorite short stories, when first we were gods, is about immortals and has the line “we murdered love when we conquered death”, because, yknow. love is beautiful because it is for fleeting things with beginnings and ends...but...i don’t know, there is something about the human psyche running up hard against that Reality of ending, of death, that just sort of...fundamentally knocks you out of whack.

@aliceace14 you were forced to watch this already. Is this real?

No fucking way. I have been informed this isn’t an edit

[luckthebard]

I am like very curious if there are more Psychic Secrets that you've learned and are willing to share?

Sadly it’s not that complicated. According to Molly (my sister-in-law’s sister), most of her job is done by her clients.

She has training as a psychologist, and being a psychic mostly meant: using her heightened empathy (which she developed as a child in a household where she had to be the peace-maker between fighting parents who later divorced) to pick up on her clients’ emotional states, and then making vague, leading statements about how their life was going or people that might be contacting them until the client latched onto something.

So, she’d say things like “I sense you’re having difficulty with finding your purpose” and a person who was dissatisfied with their career would immediately say “Yes!” and then she would move more in that direction. Stuff like that.

Hello! I was curious about that shot from House of Demons, I just watched it on Tubi bc I saw the post and was like 'eh ok' and it certainly looks like a shot from the movie, that looks like Whitney, but I never saw that particular scene??? Every time they showed him in the 'present' he had that terrible hat on?? Is that shot from a deleted scene maybe?

I screenhotted the trailer/teaser that was on vimeo, and downloaded images from Tals social media. both hapening 2 years ago so I have no idea if either of those sourses are even still available.

So it possibly was a deleted scene? I might try looking during the weekend for more sources
