[zeherili-ankhein]

Raju: Do you ever do anything except whine like a little bitch?

Mannu: sometimes I whine like a BIG bitch

[averagecontentenjoyer121]

Ships I’ve seen on my FYP since I’ve started posting about Epic the Musical, also I’ve learned how to color text after 8 months of having Tumblr.

Canon:

Odysseus x Penlope

Eurylochus x ctimene

Telemachus x Nausicaa: I think that’s it

Calypso x Odysseus: put this because, kinda, and I don’t remember the context for the post just remember seeing

Circe X Odysseus

Ares X Aphrodite

Perimedes X Elpenor

Crack ships:

Odysseus x Poseidon x Zeus: this is completely my fault one of my friends told me about @anniflamma’s "manwhore au" and I though, "There's no way this is real," only now to be living the akira meme whenever pops up on my FYP

Antinious x Calypso: first saw this on @irunaki’s blog, but the supports do make a good argument for it. Quote, “they match each other’s freak.” Can’t argue with that

Diomedes x Odysseus: Idk how this started or who first subjected me to this, but I know why I’ve seen it. I made ONE, say it again ONE post with Diomedes and Odysseus hanging out as friends and the algorithm said, “you wanna see them kiss don’t you.” Either way pop off I guess and have fun DioXOdy fans out there.

Polites X Odysseus: once again kinda makes sense, or atleast I can see how this started, because the song cut song Your Light 100% gives of gay vibes

Hermes X Odysseus: I think I’ve see like one post regarding this, but still.

Artemis X Aeolus: Once again Don’t know who started this one but I remember first seeing this on @irunaki’s blog. Also, one of my favorite pieces of art comes from @sloanslone because it’s so cute.

Aeolus X Hermes: Don’t remember if this is an actual ship or not but it does have a ship name. Coming from another banger piece art by @sloanslone there relationship is called Cinnamon I believe

I feel like I’ve seen some with Apollo X someone, but don’t remember.

Siren X Athena: this Banger comes from @coquexari and I absolutely love this one. It’s just been presented in such a cute way that I love it. And the art she’s made for it is also really cute.

Circe X Calypso: Once again first saw this one on @irunaki’s blog, but I will say I haven’t seen it since the wisdom saga came out.

Eurylochus x Ares: by @thequeenofthedisneyverse

Eurylochus x Zeus

Eurylochus x random guy that gets eaten by Scylla: by @calciumyum

Aeolus X Apollo

Telemachus x antinious: It does exist, but I don’t remember where I’ve seen it

Diomedes x Odysseus x Penelope: Hi @wolfythewitch

Also I’ve seen Femboy Telemachus

Gotten Hades (game) ship art

Etc etc.

My posts

SOMEHOW, FINALLY, I finished the fifth Silent Hill 2 commentary. May I introduce you to: Maria.

Physical therapy kicked my ass on Monday (I managed to get the SH2 posts out right before I went), and then it kicked it even harder on Wednesday, and my Post-Mortem Exertion Fatigue has been fully engaged. (PT was better on Friday. My new therapist is better up-to-date with the current chronic fatigue research and we did things a bit differently.)

I am sleeping so much (with PT approval) that I'm having to switch back to queue-based posting in case I just lose time utterly. 

Things I learned from the radio station at PT: Guns N' Roses is now considered classic rock, and there's gonna be a live-action Elden Ring movie. I am married to Lunar Princess Ranni despite having never played the game (she's a blorbo-in-law), so I am wary of this endeavor. Also, fuck outta here with this "November Rain is classic rock" bullshit.

Zoologist's Tyrannosaurus Rex fragrance came up in a poll, so I reblogged my review from a couple of years ago. My perfume reviews are usually me asking "WHY IT SMELL LIKE THAT??" and telling you what I found out, and "that" in this case was "a slaughterhouse." Spoiler: The answer was somehow "rose oxide." 

Reblogs of interest

Hey, let's dip into Romanian politics for a change! The thwarted clownery of George Simion.

Honestly, I would have put the Molotov cocktail quote under Sacred Texts, except it's from an actual TV show

I'm considering this one as well: "You’re just a weirdo with a gross fetish. Covid didn’t make you suddenly want to fuck dead people"

Hi, Have Some Doodles While I Work Out Elias's Relationship To Birkin

God, Tumblr just eats the quality of images. Uhhhh, click for higher res?

Aaaanyway-

Note: Doodles do not necessarily relate to the information being given, I just like them

Okay so, the year is 1978, Elias is two weeks away from his eighteenth birthday, and he's just shown up at the Umbrella Training Facility. He's nervous, of course he's nervous this is a huge opportunity for him. One he didn't think he was going to get after his life was thrown out of wack thanks to the birth of his son and surprise marriage. But, he still managed to pull it off, and make it out of his home town. Nothing could bring him down. Nothing being the two weirdo's who rode on the helicopter with him to get here. Albert, who definitely has women tied up in his basement, and William, who looked up from his research paper exactly once in order to sneer at a joke. Yeah, these guys totally got laid. Whatever, Elias wasn't here to make friends anyway.

Elias was always a natural face, and he used it to his advantage to get into Marcus's good graces. Marcus liked him because he had the charisma to go alone with the brain, and could talk to someone without "unintentionally" insulting them. As such, he wanted Elias to hang around with his other golden star students, hoping that he would rub off on them.

(Note: this is pre the "They're too gay, make em fight" era)

Once forced to actually interact with the two, he actually found he clicked with them way more than he would ever admit. Wesker was quiet and cold, but he was also fucking hilarious if you actually cared to listen when he did talk. And he had some really fascinating insights when you got him talking. And Birkin really reminded Elias of his little brother.

As such he gave Birkin the little brother treatment. Harmless mocking and teasing, blatant back talk- even when Birkin was technically his boss. All while still defending him against anyone else who talked shit about him. He even once told Birkin that "It doesn't matter how much we fight dude, your enemies are my enemies."

That being said- He openly mocked him for- quote- "Getting into a dick measuring contest with a twelve year old girl" when the whole beef with Veronica came up though. That was all Birkin, Elais was not going to help with that bull shit.

At first Birkin held Elias in real and genuine contempt, mistaking his loud extroverted nature for stupidity. He couldn't accept that a meat head from the sticks really had the IQ to be in this facility. He had no fucking clue what Wesker saw in him, or why he insisted on keeping him around. He suspected it was for homosexual reasons.

But, the longer he was forced to "endure" being around Elias, the more he realized this guy actually, probably, sadly, regrettably, did in fact have more than rocks and cocaine- I mean uhhh....nah fuck it, He did have more than rocks and cocaine in his head, and was probably a valuable asset to have. Fuck.

Slowly, his outright resentment mellowed into him just playing into the little brother role Elias's had put him in. Mild bickering inter cut with genuine moment's of connection. Birkin even went to Elias when he needed some advice on getting attention of a girl he liked, Annette. His main advice was to shave baby's first porn mustache. Birkin didn't take the advice.

Things get more complicated when you bring Wesker into the mix. This is pre Loyalty Neuron activation for Elias, so he's not obsessed with Wesker yet. In fact, most of his time is spent obsessing over and neutering Progenitor and T (To the point of using his child for experiments, but that's a different post.) But that didn't mean he didn't feel something when it came to Wesker.

It wasn't love, or even lust he didn't think. It was more a sense of competition. Elias craved Weskers approval for reason's he still doesn't understand. Maybe it was his cold nature Elias wanted to thaw out, maybe it was the fact Albert seemed inherently indifferent to anything he didn't deem important. Who knows.

What Elias did know was that Birkin seemed to get that approval without even fucking trying. It drove him up a wall how easy it was for Birkin to capture Wesker's full attention, and his admiration.

Little did Elias know Birkin was just as jealous of Elias's relationship to Wesker. He envied Elias's ability to make Albert laugh, to make him unwind and let his walls down. Their rivalry in the work place took a backseat to their rivalry for Wesker more often than not.

Wesker wasn't dumb, he saw exactly what was going on. He just didn't see any point in stopping it if it meant both of them put out better work and more effort into their research. And, well, if you saw him playing into it and adding fuel to the fire- mind your business.

This put them in a weird almost throuple situation. One where Birkin and Wesker are definitely something more than friends (But can't label it because of Birkins marriage) and sometimes Elias inserts himself for the occasional make out session. He refuses to actually fully involve himself in the full throuple cause "I'm straight."

the making out wasn't a sign of anything, everyone tongue kisses the homies sometimes, how else do you wish them goodnight? (says the man who doesn't realize his closet door is made of glass.)

The three were close, often considered to be a package deal among the rest of Umbrella staff. That was until Elias's "Mysterious and sudden death" in 1978. A house fire. truly tragic. Of course, Birkin knew something was up. Elias could be stupid, but he wasn't pass out with a lit cigarette stupid. As far as Birkin was aware, Elias didn't even smoke in the house- too worried about his kid's "development" or whatever. He knew Albert knew what actually happened, and the first real strain on their friendship was Wesker's refusal to tell him- even if Birkin knew why Al wouldn't tell him.

BONUS DOODLES cause I think I've said everything I wanted to say in this post

[olderthannetfic]

I kinda understand “minors don’t interact” and similar things, but one thing I always laugh at is “don’t tag as [thing].” You know — the whole don’t tag posts with the word queer in them as q slur, don’t tag not-inherently-shippy art as ship, don’t tag character posts as kin, etc. First of all, what would you do if someone DOES tag it like that? Call the cops? Second of all, people are gonna tag things however they want, you’re gonna have to deal with that on a website like tumblr.

There’s a similar phenomenon on Twitter where people say “don’t quote retweet”/“don’t private quote retweet” (which is especially funny cuz everyone is gonna see that and go on their private accounts and quote retweet with nonsense to piss you off, lmao)

Like if you’re really SO FUCKING SCARED of your gay post being tagged as #q slur, your Death Note edit being tagged as #Lawlight, your fanart being tagged as #kin, you probably shouldn’t be on the internet. Do you have the right to not view queer as a slur, the right to not ship whatever, the right to not like fictionkin? Of course! But people also have the right to disagree with you and tag your post however the fuck they want. One time I saw someone tag one of my cosplays as [character] faceclaim, and I was a little bit weirded out, but overall it was harmless. I never once considered adding a banner saying not to tag my likeness as a faceclaim, because if I really want to prevent anyone from doing that, the solution will be for me to not show my face online.

Small tangent: When I was younger I used to have a private sideblog that was basically just a venting diary. No one had the password, and, because it was private, my URL wouldn’t show up in the notes if I reblogged something to that blog. Basically, no one knew the blog existed. And I remember sometimes I would see a cool post on my dash, or in tags, and it would be tagged as #dont reblog (this was before tumblr had the option to limit reblogs obviously). And if the post was cool (or edgy, because like I said… vent blog) and I was sad that I “couldn’t” reblog it, I’d reblog it to the side blog, where OP would never know 😭 Rebellious as hell wasn’t I?

That being said — and this might contradict everything I just wrote — I do think people that brag about not reading/not following DNIs are also a bit obnoxious. Not people who just make statements that they don’t read them, but people who make it known how much they hate their existence. It just seems kinda edgelord-y? Idk. Obviously it’s fine to not read them or like them but making it a huge statement is just like…ok? Congratulations? Should we throw you a party? Should we invite Elon Musk?

I have followers—and follow people—who have “Antis DNI” in their bio. I also have followers and follow people who have “Proshippers DNI” in their bio. No one will ever know what side I’m on 😜😜😜😜

[tylerjeauxburreaux9]

prepare yourself, this is the transcript from Deux Moi’s podcast today -

Okay, let's talk a little bit about Olivia Ponton and Joe Burrow.

Somebody sent me a message and said that she was spotted at a workout class in Cincinnati, Ohio on Friday. This person was wondering if her and Joe are talking again. Now, if you ask the fans, they'll have a million reasons why they think they're either split or he's hooking up with other women or she's stalking him.

I'm gonna read you some emails. They all run the gamut of all of those things. This person is a legitimate person and they saw her.

Why else would she be in Cincinnati? She's not from there. She's from Florida.

I believe she lives in either New York or Los Angeles. So the only reason she would be in Cincinnati is for Joe. I want to know why women are so irrational about certain athletes, him being one of them.

I mean, obviously Travis Kelce, that's a given because of Taylor, but the Joe Burrow nonsense that I receive, well, let me just read it to you. I'd like to preface by saying these are all anonymously submitted emails. None of this information has been vetted or verified.

These are emails, not DMs. This person says that Olivia has been caught multiple times liking on Tumblr, Joe Burrow blogs, liking bengals merch on Depop. Her assistant was lurking and liking things on his ex's page, and then when they both got caught, Olivia and her assistant went and blocked the person who exposed her.

I mean, just don't hit the like button, if that's the case. Another person says the same thing. I don't know if this is the same person, just wanting me to make sure I read their email.

She stalks Tumblr blogs about him, and whenever they mention something shady or shitty, she goes and deletes it. She's keeping tabs on his fans and blogs. They caught her multiple times with deleting bengals merchandise she's liked on Depop and deleting her account once it's out, or her assistant liking his ex's posts to deleting things on her apps once they say something about it.

Another one says Olivia Ponton has made it known, so many have caught her, that she stalks Joe Burrow blogs on Tumblr, and every time his fans find out sneaky shit, she goes and deletes it before it gets too big. She wants the attention, like not too long ago, she was liking bengals merchandise on Depop. So the Depop thing was a big deal.

I did hear about it from a couple of people in my DMs. That caused waves in the fandom. Okay, somebody else says, I don't know how true this is, Joe Burrow's hidden mistress, former OnlyFans model, Kaylee Trent.

This is Babydoll Kaylee, formerly Cake by Kay on Instagram. Insider who personally knows and has been involved with Joe Burrow for months reveals infidelity and Joe's hidden mistress, Babydoll Kaylee, legal name Kaylee Trent. Introduced by Nick Bosa in March of last year, Kaylee has been one to spill it with Joe and receive gifts.

Once an OnlyFans girl and now a girl with a horse, Burkin and quote, wired to retire her. What does that mean? Is that a saying hand?

Like they wire, like she gets wired so much money, she could retire?

I've never heard that.

Wired to retire her. Kaylee has achieved the modern American girl's dream, catching the eye of successful NFL player and living a lavish life not where nudity is not required, at least on video.

Wink face.

Joe cheated with Kaylee on true American girl.

What the hell is true American girl? That must be a website.

Also, this person is alleging Amy Rodriguez, daughter of an Episcopal priest in Vero Beach, Florida. What? I think they're trying to say that Joe allegedly cheated on Kaylee with Amy Rodriguez.

Amy loyally stood by Joe throughout Olivia Ponton's scandal. I think the scandal they mean is the burglary. And now is appalled to realize someone she is once trusted with her faith has turned to a woman of another kind.

Oh, okay, I'm getting this now. Now I'm thinking this was sent in by someone on Amy Rodriguez's side. Because it sounds like that they're mad that he cheated on Amy.

Word has it, Kaylee wants to keep her past a secret and embrace Joe's new type, the Christian girl.

Amy, a 25 year old blonde haired blue eyed daughter of an Episcopal priest in Vero Beach, Florida is the epitome of JB's new type. Or should I say, new wife?

Okay, I had never heard the name Amy Rodriguez before. Here's another one. I wish this was a joke, but the Cincinnati social circles have been talking about their quarterback, Joe Burrow, keeping a certain influencer on his speed dial because she treats his back door.

And has told a few people she's willing to spill the beans if he cuts ties for good. We're all about respecting sexual expressions. I hate to break it to this person, but servicing a guy's back door is not scandalous in 2025.

Hannah, fucking back me up or not. I don't care.

But yeah, I don't think so.

No. I mean, I think this person thinks that they're trying to say she has something on him. I, she doesn't trust me.

What is the point of all this? Well, the point is, I hate to break it to everyone, but I think Joe Burrow is still dating Olivia Ponton. I haven't heard of any of these other women that he's been linked to.

So to me, it sounds like a case of fans putting together the pieces via social media and fictionalizing what they think happened. Now, the rumor about Joe Burrow allegedly dating a mom with three kids, that I heard was viable. And I believe that was before Olivia, I'm not sure.

So that I believe over this other stuff. Okay, the next celebrity that I'd like to talk about is Shawn Mendes.

>1.6k words on bi Gansey

Hi! This belongs to my big Raven Cycle analysis, click here for the masterpost.

Today we are diving into all the reasons why I think Gansey is a bi king (and then some more). Enjoy!

(I think there might be mild spoilers up to trk, nothing too bad though, more character interactions than plot)

b) Gansey

Alright hear me out. This man. There is nothing this rich boy can do to beat the fruit allegations. He is a bi king, through and through. Everyone but him knows, including you, because what I have to say is the absolute truth and I am great at convincing. I once saw a tumblr post that said “Gansey has to physically restrain himself from kissing all his friends” and there has never been anything more true.

And it’s important to note that this is really not only reader interpretation. Or, at least, reader interpretation includes other character’s interpretations, which are sometimes incredibly straight(lol)forward.

After doing Adam a big favor, Gansey’s sister Helen (who is aro-ace btw, because I said so) immediately assumes he is sleeping with him, which is a conclusion she jumped to way too quickly if Gansey has never previously shown any interest in Adam or other boys. Like, she seems to know him quite well, and for her to just think he’s in a relationship with Adam says a lot about the homoeroticism prevalent in Gansey’s friendships with both Adam and also Ronan.

Because then we have Kavinsky, another canonically queer character, who thus might arguably have some sort of gaydar, assuming Ronan and Gansey are in a romantic (but most of all, sexual) relationship. Admittedly, this has largely to do with Kavinsky assuming things about Ronan and his sexuality, as is explicitly mentioned in the book. However, you can very easily speculate about someone’s sexuality without knowing their (previous) partners, if there have been any at all, so to correctly believe Ronan is gay does not have to randomly entail relationship speculations. So somewhere, even from not interacting with them so much, Kavinsky must have gotten that idea. That somewhere is the deep affection the two of them share, which is absolutely palpable for everyone around. Yes, I know their relationship is described as brotherly (please note I do not condone incest!), but also somewhere within “they’re bros” lies the implication they are gay. Two bros chilling in a hot tub. They’re having a bromance. Let bros kiss.

Another person who seems to believe in a Gansey romance above bromance is Henry, who at that point of book three had only interacted with him at school very superficially. We can assume the way Gansey behaves with Adam and Ronan at school is very much homoerotic, or elsewise Henry would have no reason to be surprised about seeing Gansey with Blue (“a chick”). He can’t be surprised about Gansey pulling… someone, considering he is apparently super good-looking, he just never had reason to assume Gansey was anything but achillean.

Now this was mostly people who don’t know Gansey that well, or at least people not part of the inner circle, so it can’t mean that much, right? Surely there would not be anyone who truly, deeply knows Gansey, who would assume he is queer. Right? Wrong. I have since forgotten the context of that quote, but Adam, someone who is very close to both of them, thinks that Ronan and Gansey could date. Make of that what you will, but I will it to be homoerotic subtext. (Or text, as what Adam says is what he says, no room for interpretation there.)

Lastly, Adam’s father called him the f-slur. Ok, I will admit that it’s not completely confirmed to be that, but what else would a censored word with f stand for? Again, it’s hard to tell, because my two options would be the slur and just straight-up “fucker”, but both “f*g” and “fuck” are used directly in the following books. The f-slur was used directly in Ronan’s narrative though, in that of a character who talks very obscenely in general, so I have no trouble believing Gansey just wouldn’t have wanted to repeat that word, especially if it’s just a memory.

The line between romantic and platonic interactions is thin enough in this series as it is, but Gansey seems to blur it especially. I am going to touch on that at a later point, but platonic affection is given a very important role, so much that in some parts it carries as much significance as romantic actions do (as it should- relationship anarchy rules), if not more. With Gansey that seems to be especially strong, a lot of the things he does with his friends seeming romantic.

First of all, he is co-parenting with Ronan. Yes, it is a bird, but Ronan loves her like a human daughter so the point stands. The two of them even squabble about it like an old married couple, Gansey’s legendary “this is exactly why I didn’t want to have a baby with you” speaks for itself.

Then there is the insomnia quality time, as I like to call it. We, as the readers, are probably supposed to focus on the late night phone calls and drives with Blue, the fact that “she makes [him] quiet”, and that he can sleep after talking to her. But what I find equally important is the time he spends with Ronan at Monmouth during those sleepless nights, them getting orange juice at three a.m. While it might not be something super comforting that makes them both fall asleep, this routine they seem to have fallen into, just spending time while not expecting anything from the other, is something that means a lot to me; they are very much giving platonic soulmates, but also what if they kissed?

Of course I cannot not mention “While I’m gone, dream me the world. Something new for every night.” That boy is being unnecessarily dramatic about going away for literally one weekend. And why? Because “they had been a two-headed creature for so long, Ronan-and-Gansey. He couldn’t say it, though. There were a thousand reasons why he couldn’t say it.” What are those reasons though? Is it because he is actually in love with Ronan but admitting to that would make the friendship super fucking awkward so he whips out a dramatic, half-romantic metaphor quote? Yeah, that makes total sense.

Staying on my Ronsey bullshit, let’s not forget the glorious, deleted pool table scene. In case you are not familiar with it, or have forgotten the way it sounds (probably the reason it was deleted), I’ll just let two quotes speak for themselves. “There was something suggestive about how [Ronan] wore the suit” Oh yes, of course there was. Sometimes you wear clothing with a certain intention, and in Ronan’s case, that intention is to be bent over the pool table by Gansey. This becomes even clearer here: “Gansey was well aware that Ronan rather fancied the way he looked while he played pool, and the way he reached across the felt now, intentional and elegant and coiled, indicated that he was fancying himself at this very moment.” Once again, everything is super intentional, and Gansey wants to fuck him so badly. Not even kidding at this point, the way Maggie wrote this scene really makes it look like Gansey finds Ronan super hot; even as an aromantic asexual person I have to say, this is a lot more than “bro appreciating his best friend’s glow-up in a completely heterosexual way”. This iconic scene is gay brainrot, which is exactly why we did not get to experience this masterpiece within an actual, published book. The Ronsey shippers would have gone too wild.

[Speaking of which, I’d like to clarify that I do not ship Ronsey in the way some other people do, I do prefer them with their canon love interests, however I clearly see the potential of them having had some kind of mutual attraction in the past, I just think it makes the dynamic a lot more fun and interesting, sort of like how Jesper had a crush on Kaz in Six of Crows.]

Gansey has received at least one (1) dick pic of Ronan. The circumstances do not say anything about either Gansey or Ronan, but I think it’s funny, it builds character, so I chose to include it in this.

Perhaps the strongest evidence for him running with the lgbtq+ is the fact that he goes to an all-boys school. Come on, what is he supposed to do, surrounded by all those guys rich enough to afford good haircuts and a private trainer? Should he just not have gay thoughts? Impossible.

Now all this was mostly evidence for Gansey swinging that way, somehow, but of course he’s one of those doors that open both ways. Yes, he has a girlfriend, but there is even more proof for him being specifically m-spec, just you wait. To begin with, apart from his friends Gansey has two true loves. Henrietta (the town with a female name, who his sister refers to as his girlfriend- the same sister who assumes Gansey is sleeping with Adam; Helen is a bi Gansey truther) and Glendower, the dead, male king. Obviously, this is totally serious business. Additionally, I have talked through to a very full extent how he is in love with Ronan, but of course he is also in love with Henry, I do not have to elaborate on this. He is also very much jealous when Blue and Adam are dating, as is described multiple times, but we don’t find out exactly who he is jealous of. Yes, he likes Blue, and he is sad that his best friend is sort of being stolen away etc., but what if he also just wanted to hold hands. With both of them. At once.

It’s not only Gansey being in love with all of them, it’s also all of them being in love with Gansey. His bi swagger. It was this: Blue finding him irresistible. It was this: Ronan wanting to smash his fist through a wall because of how hot Gansey is. It was this: Henry saying Gansey is a “Caucasian with great hair”.

Bi Gansey is the truth and I will defend that until the day I die.

However, I will admit that he is absolutely a cis guy, no question. At no point in his life has he had to be afraid to take up space or anything, but that man supports trans rights of course. He would not wear a crop top on his own, but considering how he is in love with them, Blue, Ronan and Henry could bully him into it and he would rock it.

neutral- this is a source that is fake in some way but real in others. maybe it's a quote taken wildly out of context, or the quote passed around is fake but the content really did happen & has a more grounded source. or maybe it was written in a biography that didn't use citations and I have no idea where that author got that information, so you should take it with a grain of salt. or maybe it's something that isn't necessarily fake, but there's not enough evidence to definitively prove it one way or another (i.e. did anything happen in india?) whatever the case, this source has ended up neutral in the grand scheme of mclennon.

real- happy day for us all, these are for ones that turn out to be real! these are ones that are backed up by one or more reliable source & have hard evidence

source reliability

what do I mean by "reliable source"?

for me to count a source as "reliable" and count it towards a fact/quote being real, it has to be one of these things: first-hand (interviews, auto biographies, etc), recorded (video/photographic evidence, basically), or a well-sourced/respected biographer.

sources that fall into the in between category and might still earn a "real" rating but should be taken with a grain of salt are things like: second-hand sources (& who they are is important in determining how big that grain of salt should be), biographers who are allergic to sourcing, and things like lyrics/poetry/short stories which rely heavily on interpretation unless explained by either john or paul themselves. none of these automatically mean a "neutral" or "fake" rating, but they're taken into account.

and sources that will earn a fake rating once they're found to be the original source: tumblr blogs, deviantART pages, fan forums, gossip columns, etc. basically, if all I can find is someone writing out "slash beatles quotes" on a page in 2011, it's getting chucked in the bullshit pile unless someone else can find a source that predates it.

Is that anon talking about my anon message? I'm not sure who they're referring to but to clarify I used "blacks" once in my anon message because i was pretty much directly quoting a white supremacist blog I encountered I'm actually black myself if that wasn't already obvious (I thought it was as l used "us" when referring to black people) English is my first language and I know it's often used as derogatory which is why I included it because I said those blogs had upset me a lot and was kind of trying to express why without using full on slurs because i genuinely hate them as I assumed your (antisemitic) anons were from English speaking countries also I don’t think I even defended or mentioned Israelis in my message maybe they thought I was because i mentioned how black maids are often left to die when there are airstrikes in Arab countries but I actually wasn’t referring to I/p exclusively this has happened in many Arab countries to my knowledge and Israel isn’t always involved in these scenarios also I have nothing against Israelis I don’t support or tolerate antisemitism and I’m not an “antizionist” I’m just stating that I’m pretty sure I didn’t even mention Israel or Israelis in my message I have nothing against Arabs either but I mean what I said is still a fact

(I know that it's easy for someone to make that mistake though if they didn't know it's quite often used in a derogatory way when referring to black people in English speaking countries and I wouldn't hold it against them)

noooo they’re talking about someone who reblogged one of the posts and used the term, so not you! they assumed the person was israeli 😂

it was very obvious to me! 💙

i’ve been explaining in dms why that term is derogatory in america, because elsewhere, especially in other languages, the history is VERY different and it isn’t derogatory at all. even in some parts of america, it isn’t known. it should be.

a lot of this is americans assuming american culture and society is universal. it’s absolutely valid to be upset seeing that written out, but all of these anons are here in bad faith lmao and arguing neo nazi propaganda while telling us what’s antisemitic and using actual slurs themselves. it’s wild.

i really appreciated your message and the context you laid out. no worries at all 💙 thank you for the follow up too! you gave really great examples of tumblr’s negligence with slur usage. also i’m sorry you even saw that shit, it’s disgusting.

When it comes to twincest and their relationship, Jaime Lannister is the victim. Cersei Lannister is an abuser. Mutual abuse doesn’t exist.

I had both a tumblr interaction and I saw a Reddit post on r/asoiaf mainly talking about the sane thing. How Jaime was toxic to Cersei and that the relationship was mutually abusive. In the Reddit post specifically, they talk about how Jaime r*aped Cersei by coercion because of an specific quote of hers where she thinks of him (with a smile) when another character mentions a situation where she felt like she couldn’t say no and asks Cersei if she ever lived the same.

So I decided to write this down because much like @ginmo did once, it’s absolutely infuriating that in the year of 2023, we have such a hard time identifying a male victim of abuse.

I’m gonna use the old “reverse the genders” argument here because unlike most cases, I think this is one of the rare situations where it can be applied, because even though Jaime and Cersei live in a very patriarchal society and he is a man, he is in a rare position where he doesn’t hold power over her in terms of their social hierarchy and overall relationship dynamic. Thats not to say that a man can’t be a victim of abuse even in a patriarchal society where the social structure favors him to be the one in power. Because while misogyny and male privilege is often tied with domestic violence, and used as tools to abuse female victims, they aren’t necessarily fundamental for abuse to happen. And reversing the roles in this particular situation is interesting because it shows how much gender bias blinds people to the obviousness of their dynamic. As if a veil is lifted and you see what would be so easily identified if Jaime had been a woman and Cersei, a man. So let’s do that, lets reverse their roles.

Here are the Lannister twins. From an early age, they engaged in sexual interactions. One of the twins, the boy, from an early age impressed upon the other twin, the girl, that they belong together, are one soul in two bodies, they were born together so they will die together, that they are soulmates and actually one person. The girl of course, buys into all of that. This same twin, the boy, from an early age shows not only a dominant personality but also actions that speak of a flawed character. This twin brother sexually/physically assaulted their other sibling once for example (by twisting his penis when he was a baby). This twin brother, by age 12, murders his best friend because said best friend showed an interest in his twin sister. This twin brother seduces and manipulates his twin sister by spending an entire night having sex with his sister for the first time when they are teens, not allowing her to sleep properly the entire night so they have sex, while talking about how they will be separated forever if the twin sister doesn’t accept what he’s proposing, that is a small price to pay and his twin sister needs to agree in giving up her birthright so she can take a role where she will lose everything she was supposed to become (a mother, a wife and the lady of her house) so she can stay beside him forever in court. Like that, the twin sister will only ever be with him, no one else. All of that while the twin brother had always intended on actually marrying someone else, someone this twin brother has actually desired his entire life since he was young, even though said twin brother couldn’t stand the thought of someone wanting his twin sister (again, murdered his best friend because of that). And the only reason the twin brother didn’t marry the one he wanted was because they died. And in this whole scenario, the twin sister has no idea about these thoughts and feelings of his twin brother, she truly believes they are soulmates and love each other in a way they can’t be apart, she fully believes in everything her twin brother has said about them being one soul in two bodies etc etc.

The years pass, they carry on with their affair, the twin brother withholds and uses sex/affection as punishment/reward against his twin sister, establishes a dynamic where it must be always the twin sister coming to him, he will never do the same, actually gets off on the idea of his twin sister being so irresistibly attracted to him that she can’t take no for an answer and liked the power play this gives him. The twin brother was also frequently physically abusive towards the twin sisters, which she was used to and managed to diffuse the situation by turning the slaps she received into them having sex. Later in the story, when both twins have committed horrible horrible crimes for each other, with the twin sister going as far as almost killing a child to protect the twin brother, among other terrible stuff, the twin sister starts to show some personal growth after going through some hard times and becoming disabled. The twin brother insults the twin sister physically and verbally, and often actually assaults her physically by slapping her when she doesn’t agree with him or accepts doing something for him. The twin sister then finds out that the twin brother has actually lied to her, he has slept with other people many times even though he didn’t actually need it (he had other ways of making those people do his biding because of the position he holds in their social hierarchy), but he has done that anyway and lied to his twin sister about it, pretending that outside of a marriage he was forced to enter he had never been with anyone else outside his twin sister.

Are you gonna tell me this is a relationship where both parties hold equal power? Are you gonna tell me the twin sister is as much at fault as the twin brother? Because whoever says yes is absolutely lying, don’t even bother. And if you are honest with yourself and recognizes that no, you don’t think that and actually sees how the twin sister is clearly being abused, how is that different then when you reverse them to their original genders? Because I haven’t added anything there that is not present in their canon relationship. Notice I have addressed the privileges/lack of that come with their respective positions (the twin sister inheriting her house seat/ the twin brother forced into a marriage he doesn’t want). That the twin sister is often the one seeking the twin brother and not accepting a no from the twin brother. So if you can see this relationship for what it is when the genders are switched, how can you not do the same for a male victim?

Now something else to consider: There’s a big difference between toxic relationships vs abusive relationships. And a difference between a toxic person vs an abusive one. Not all toxic relationships are abusive; however, all abusive relationships can be considered toxic. In a toxic relationship, there is usually a lack of respect and a violation of boundaries. But this behavior occurs without the person or people involved even realizing they're doing it. They normalized it. They aren’t trying to control their partner.

Usually, every victim in an abusive relationship is a toxic person. Tbh, is almost impossible to survive an abusive relationship without becoming toxic yourself and engaging in toxic behavior. But that doesn’t mean the person is abusive, because a key element is missing: they aren’t intentionally doing that to exert control over the other party in the relationship.

All of this is to say: I honestly cannot understand how people have such a hard time understanding that, within the dynamics of Cersei and Jaime, she is the abuser. Mutual abuse doesn’t exist. Abuse is about an imbalance of power and control.

They are both incredible toxic people, there’s no denying that. Possessive, jealous, engaged in some dubious sexual dynamic, violent… all of this. But only one of them tries to exert control over the other. Only one of them intentionally tries to dictate how the other should behave and intentionally harm the other when they don’t conform to what they want. Only one of them displays a pattern of behaviors used to gain or maintain power and control.

This is not to say Jaime is a wonderful angel who has never done anything wrong in his life. Is just to say that, within his relationship with Cersei, Jaime is the victim. He’s just not a perfect one.

So, no, I don’t think Jaime r*ped Cersei by coercing her into sex because their pre established dynamic within their relationship is so incredibly disturbing and toxic that Jaime coming to her, asking and begging and ultimately not accepting being denied is actually something that Cersei likes, and is used as a power play where she can exert control and dominate him. No, I don’t think Jaime and Cersei are mutually abusive because this doesn’t exist and even if it did, he is not the one trying to exert control towards her.

Jaime Lannister is a toxic person. Jaime Lannister is a victim of abuse. Cersei Lannister is an abuser. Period.

Yeah I'm jerk if you're going to be a jerk. I call scammers beggars because that's basically what they do in my opinion. You've been asked nicely for help and you got very defensive and offended that they didn't research them. That person looked up to you by the way, was trying to help catching scammers since we have to deal with them on a regular basis on many platforms and in reality. Wanted your opinion but once again she lost trust to people and thinks that she did something wrong. Well have fun on Tumblr guys and I hope that you stop as many scammers as you can

Funny how your mood changed real quick after calling me sketchy. Scammers aren’t beggars, you wasn’t calling them beggars. You was saying everyone asking for help is a beggar:

“And no I'm not reading blogs of every single beggar out there.”

Secondly, I was offended that you didn’t look at the OP of the post you likely saw to figure out was my own account which only posts verified charities and you, as quoted, asked me if i was butthurt:

“Damn you seem really butt hurt don't you? “

Lastly, you asked me to check if someone was a scammer and I told you, very simply:

“Anon did you even try to contact the person before asking me or did you see them share the post from my own blog. Because I only got this ask when someone shared their reblog from my other account and I personally feel like your just assuming it’s a scammer right off the bat without bothering to look at the account the GoFundMe is posted from. Otherwise I’ve verified it’s a legitimate account. But you could have just asked them. Nicely.”

And your response to that was, as quoted:

“Do you expect me to nicely ask a potential scammer if they're scammer? The answer is obvious.”

And

“I will only trust someone by approving that the person they claim to be really exist, maybe through social media or other ways that can officially confirm them.”

Implying that you could have actually looked up the information yourself but you opted to ask me instead of asking the person who would have been able to tell you what you wanted to know better than I would have been able to elaborate.

Also:

“Your "instructions on how to spot a scammer" show some basic schemes which every dumbass can copy and paste. They do much more than that. Although most of them just like you get angry easily when confronted :D”

Scammers don’t change their tactics all that often and basic isn’t bad it just makes it easier to understand and I am not claiming I’m the best as making guides. I know what scammers do. Also you wasn’t confronting me. You just called by behavior sketchy just because I was annoyed. There’s a difference between a scammer being sketchy when confronted and someone being annoyed when people don’t do a simple task.

I wasn’t being a jerk. I called you one for how you was acting. The rudeness of saying ‘dumbasses’ can do this and that people who ask for mutual aid are all ‘beggar scammers’.

Scam busters are trying their best but it’s difficult when people don’t want to do their own stuff before asking someone else. If you had done what I said you would have know the account was legitimate but instead this mess happened.

It’s a shame you call yourself a scam buster and this is how you’re treating me. Just because you didn’t like my reply.

Also my fanbase? Going after you? Do you think I just sick my followers on anyone who pisses me off. No, I don’t. I specifically tell people don’t harass anyone I mention here and make it clear that anyone who does so are doing it themselves.

So I don't have 'the book of bill' yet, but it's making the gf tag trend so i poke my head in once in a while when the tumblr search preview promises and denies me an art i might be interested in

I am fascinated by the discourse. Although one particular post seemed like it was trying to suggest Bill is entirely aroace - and therefore billford shipping is Unwarranted - based on quotes from the book where bill makes a whole point of being all 'eww humans and their relationships are gross or whatever'

And like. As someone aroace. Y'kno what he absolutely could be. But I feel like... after a point a) it goes against the text of all gravity falls material (and more importantly, Sub-text) to assume that he's being entirely 1000% honest and is not even a teensy tiny bit lying or In Blatant Denial because like. Lbr, it plays into his crafted untouchable villain image to take his hokey 'lmao humans Gross and Foreign and Silly' words at face value;

and b) him being aroace doesn't go against any of the stuff that's leading to people hyped on the ship train either, in this case. Specifically because there's a LOT of cues, implications, so on and so forth, that make it clear Bill had some sort of possessive fixation on Stanford. Romantic, platonic, qpr, whatever.

Was it healthy? Obviously not, kind of the whole point of the events that were the basis of everything we see onscreen in the show. But that doesn't mean it's not there either. Whatever it is.

And honestly even if he were aroace he's clearly some sort of favorable, if only because he used his own goddamn romance advice on Ford in the series finale. Even if you argued he's trying and failing to manipulate ford using romance tactics and doesn't feel it like. He obviously is not as repulsed as he's trying to sound if THAT'S the angle he played. Which again calls the veracity of his words into question, just a bit.

(Also a note on another quote I saw - in a section titled "exes" - yeah he claims he has none, wants nothing to do with it etc. But there is also BLATANT lines blacked out above that. That should kind of tip you off that maybe. He's not being honest with us besties.)

Idk. I may be taking the intent of the aroace post out of context and/or misunderstanding tbqh, part of why I'm making my own post. But that and the people screeching how the dynamic is toxic - as if that prevents it from being there in the text, and makes it unexplorable - just had me thinking.

Oh, what’s this? Does my persona have something new in her hands?

Ah yes, she has my followers. And how many do we have?

Over 50?!?!?!?! What the fu-

So yes I gained over 50 followers (now it’s over 60 since I woke up) which some might think that’s too little to celebrate. But if you put them all in one room I sure would panic from that so i say that is a big amount. Tbh I’m shocked because I only meant to drop some Rain fics since I wasn’t seeing enough and just dip. But we can all see that it has become more than that and now I write fics. I knew it would happen one of these days and it has. So as a little celebration I will show you some of my recent art because I did say I do that in my pinned post. Alright, let’s go!

Phen my dear

The story behind this is that I made a post on Reddit and it got a bunch of upvotes which was a shock. I basically asked why he stands so weird and everyone yelled that he serves cunt. Someone drew it out for me as well which is where I even thought of the quote. So I quickly drew him up cause i couldn’t stop thinking about it and yeah. And if you saw this on Reddit that means you also found my Reddit account. Not so fun fact I had a dream where I wrote a fanfic about him and people were eating it up. I fear it may come true with the things I’ve seen.

Are you a fox or a fairy

Let me admit I’m not the greatest artist. The corner picture was a trial run to see how I wanted her to look. Basically this was me making my Tumblr into a person (does that make sense). I don’t like the hair that much maybe a split would do better. I’m also not the best with backgrounds. But she is still cute, don’t have a true name for her tho.

False God

I take a writing class and this was part of my short story. The teeth are supposed to look fucked up like that which someone said grossed them out when they critiqued it lol. I know the mouth is a bit wonky but what can ya do. What’s done is done. Also I got distracted while working on him that I forgot to go to my asl class 💀.

And yeah that’s about it. Not much but it’s because I’ve only gained motivation recently. Hope when summer hits I can do some more.

Once again thank you everyone for following, liking and reposting, even taking time to comment. This might go unnoticed since I am only known as of now for doing MK fanfics which is fine. I just thought I would share some stuff. Like I said I’m not the greatest artist (it’s not the program there is someone else on here who is a master in my eyes).

Just so y’all know I have about two and half weeks left of this semester. Maybe in the summer time I will be quicker with popping this out (I act like i haven’t been posting everyday). I do plan to slow down a little because I think it’s a lot for me. When I’m writing fanfics in my dreams that means I need to step away. I don’t want to burn myself out too early especially since part of my major is writing. Hopefully no one jumps me for wanting to slow down if I ever do. I’m a people pleaser I will literally walk on hot sand so y’all can wear my flip flops.

But yeah, I have nothing else to really say. I hope no one unfollows me because I posted art but that might be my anxiety trying to scare me into not posting this. Adiós!

logging onto tumblr via a computer after years of not... It doesn't feel like returning home, as it was just a 2D space I starred at for hours on end once upon a time...it's a new 2024 feeling- to miss a website that has not been revamped or had a comeback, one that has remained just the way it always was aside from a few new features. And I'm not 17 anymore where it's expected that I waste hours on here. It's a time capsule of everything I have felt, ever. Everything I obsessed over when I had no one to share it with. But unlike a time capsule buried in the ground, I can't hold these quotes or photos or dreams - they come in feelings only. Nothing on here physically aged, the quotes, if on paper would be yellow now, the photos might have stains. It's not like when Myspace disappeared and attempted to come back in less desirable conditions. It's also not like Facebook, where I frequently posted pictures of myself or events that happened in real life. Here, events happened and there are photos of those events on my blog, but they didn't happen to me, I just wish they did. Or I wish they didn't if they're quotes about depression and grief. This blog is like the inside of my brain, untainted by fear someone I know in real life would see it. It's a diary I didn't have to physically write or cut photos out for. I didn't have to go on Google or Pinterest and search specifically "photo of Las Vegas", find a decently aesthetic picture and glue it on paper and say "I wanna go here!" to only myself, where no one else would see. No, I actually was probably influenced by the strangers I followed, who happened to like a picture of a casino enough to repost it, to which I ironically saw and also enjoyed enough to think to myself... hmm I wanna go there. And the algorithm wasn't trying to hard to sway me. Here, anything I saw was all up to what my followers liked- it was authentic. Yes, sometimes in relation to traditional media like TV shows and music I would initiate that process and search that piece of media and find accounts who shared similar interests as me, but usually I got more than I bargained for based on who I was that week (;)). One week I wanted to be like those tan, skinny girls who wore triangle bikini's, the next I wanted to be a hot pink baddie with diamond butterflies around my neck, the next I reblogged cows and dreamed of being a writer on a farm in Pennsylvania. I was unpredictable and finding myself. My mutuals were online at 12AM, and so was I- number of likes, searches in my history were all incredibly inconvenient. Mutual, you were online, and so was I and we liked similar things, so we influenced each other before social influencers got profit off of it. We hid behind photos of celebrities we admired. It was all for fun and sharing a piece of ourselves with the world along with better understanding ourselves- without thinking of it that way. But I'm thinking of it that way now, and maybe I'm romantasizing social media addiction, but I'd say this website had a lot of say in who I am now. And I think I'm more inclined to follow my dreams because I frequently day dreamed and saw others succeed. I think I have a deeper appreciation for some things than I would have, had I not been on here.

[lucent-nargacuga]

been thinking a lot about utdr today and I felt the need to debunk/provide alternate explanations some popular theories/interpretations surrounding gaster. I'll probably accidentally misquote/misremember things since I don't have screenshots on hand at the moment, but I'll update this post once I have them

ok. first one. "beware the man who speaks in hands" is about gaster

I can see where y'all are coming from! the wingdings text includes hands. this extremely popular theory does have some evidence supporting it.

however.

deltarune chapter 2 introduced a character we all know and love- spamton. if the player fights him as a secret boss, you'll notice that somewhere in the fight he turns his hands into phones. he even announces that he has this ability.

while it's still possible that gaster is the "man who speaks in hands", it's most likely spamton that the riverperson is talking about!

second one. "beware the man from another world" is gaster

this one could be about pretty much anyone... some people think it could be about sans or papyrus, but it could be about so sorry, or even toby fox himself. it's certainly about someone from outside of the world of undertale.

so why am I including it here? we don't really know where gaster came from, but as far as I'm aware, there's nothing that states he came from outside the world of undertale. he did shatter across space and time, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's from "another world". safe to say, it's impossible to determine who the "man from another world" the riverperson mentions is.

third one! somewhere, there's this quote that I can't quite recall, but it mentions a crack under or by someone's eye, and the crack making them appear like they are crying. many believe it's about gaster too.

the mysteryman sprite (which is commonly believed to be gaster, but again, it's not confirmed) does indeed have a facial marking that looks like either a crack or a stream of tears... but then there's asriel dreemurr.

in at least one of asriel's forms when you fight him as a boss at the end of the true pacifist route, he has two lines under his eyes that look a lot like tears. hell, he even actually cries! it's hard to say whether that line about the crack under or by someone's eye making them look like they're crying is about the mysteryman or asriel, but given what happens in the true pacifist route, I personally believe it's actually about asriel.

this one isn't about gaster, but I figured I'd put it here anyway. this is the theory that annoys me the most- mettaton created the neo body in deltarune.

first of all... as far as I'm aware, there's no evidence for this. at all. yes, we know that in undertale, alphys created mettaton neo, but in deltarune, alphys likely doesn't even know who mettaton is! while it is possible that mettaton may have designed a neo body, it's never even hinted at in the game (correct me if I'm wrong).

however, in asriel and kris' shared bedroom, interacting with asriel's computer reveals that he designed a final boss for a video game. the boss is described as a "giant creature with rainbow wings". this, of course, is an obvious reference of the absolute god of hyperdeath, but the boss is also apparently poorly drawn (like in mspaint) and... "it never saw the light of day". sounds familiar?

there's much more evidence pointing to asriel being the neo body's creator than mettaton.

(I read most of these theories somewhere on tumblr about two years ago but have since forgotten who wrote them, if someone can link the original posts to me I'd appreciate it!)

2023 Fanfic Wrapped

All right I'll take the tag @adreamareads - thanks ❤️

I even played with gimp a bit and made a thing to go with it lol

This is super easy since, while I was a prolific fic reader, I only recently got back to writing any, and it's all been Red White and Royal Blue.

JAN - OCTOBER - Nada, no fic written here (all I wrote at all during these months was some work on plotting, background, and character stuff for a novel I'm going to be working on more in the coming year.

NOVEMBER

All They Needed RWRB FirstPrince 1200-ish words

Just a little thing reunion thing done for RWRB week here on Tumblr for the 'quote' (day 1) prompt. This was not at all where I planned for this to go, but who am I to argue with Henry showing up at the door to greet Alex. My first actual fic for this fandom

Kiss RWRB FirstPrince 600-ish words

A kiss from both boys' perspective - that's it, just a kiss. This was also written for RWRB week right here on Tumblr for 'kiss' (day 6 prompt)

DECEMBER

Holiday Bits and Bobs RWRB FirstPrince 26,814 words

A collection of holiday or winter-themed ficlets (mostly) from prompts found on the 'net or songs I heard, or in the last instance, some adorable high schoolers I saw at a tree-lighting that had me thinking of these boys. - This was written all in December, and whoa! let me tell ya, if I do holiday fics next year, they will not all be written in December

So I guess that means I posted 44,000 words on AO3 this year in fic -my rambling comments on fics didn't equal near that much, of course, but there were many of them.

I did write about 4000 words as of this point on a FirstPrince college AU so far in November/December, so that will be posted sometime next year, and a few other ideas I wanna work on next year once that's done. I guess I also wrote some little blurb things I posted on here before I really started writing again to dip my toes in the water.

I suppose I'm supposed to tag peeps on this now, but it really looks like everyone has done this - other than @typicalopposite, so ya get the totally-no-pressure tag, sweetheart. Oh wait - I think I might have someone else @inell I'm certain you've written stuff this year; I'm sure I've gotten ao3 emails saying this -so you can have a totally-no-pressure tag as well dear.
