[ID: A reference image for a blue version of Mickey Mouse.
Their name is Mick, and they're wearing a black hoodie with the hood down, and a sleeveless denim jacket over it. The front of the jacket is covered in many pins, like the trans pride flag, the genderfluid flag, a black patch that says "the first pride was a riot", an ambiguous shape with a red crossed out symbol over it, a watermelon, the autism creature, and a small black patch that is cut off due to the angle, reading "eat the".
The back of the jacket has the Public Domain symbol, white a lower case C on a black background that is crossed out, with ears at the top to match Mick.
They are holding a dark blue offset cane, and have band aids on their leg, nose, and one finger.
Text around her says:
-any pronouns -soft spoken but stands up for their friends -fucks around and finds out -being of pure spite
Back patch should always be the public domain symbol with ears
Feel free to swap patches in the same theme or omit them for simplicity
Uses cane for balance, relieving pressure on his legs, and whacking people
Bandaids are optional and can be any color / placed anywhere (she's very clumsy)."
The very bottom of the page has the hashtag, "mickeysona".
End ID.]
lil something to celebrate the mouse entering the public domain :]
#mickey mouse#toon#actually disabled#public domain#mickeysona#gotta draw something ✏️#hope the disabled tag is ok since i gave him my disabilities lol#would love to see more disabled mickeysonas though#lets confuse the hell out of disney execs. hopefully#*also yes yes i know its only steamboat willie mickey but theres still a LOT you can do with that#TY rjalker for the image id!! i'm still figuring out how to write those#also the crossed out thing is an “ambiguous shape” bc i dont know if tumblr will delete it for the actual common patch#...even if its like against yknow. not sees

In sally and poppy's character page it says "Sally and Poppy are often depicted together and, according to recovered material, could potentially be best friends."
and to that i say, best friends my ASS!! those are lesbians right there
oooo i actually talked about this in the update stream when i was reading the updated bios! to restate!
a common Cover for lesbians used to be "best friends". why are those two women living together? why they're best friends, so why not! why do these women spend all their time together? they're best friends! why are those women so physically affectionate - well! they're best friends! an excuse that would never fly with gay men is perfect for lesbians.
and you still see this in recent years! remember all of the posts making fun of facebook moms / grandparents seeing photos of lesbians and going "well they seem like a lovely pair of Best Friends!" this still happens! i'm sure there are people today seeing lesbians and thinking that they're best friends. the amount of times i've pointed out to my own parents "they're gay" and gotten surprise and sometimes even denial is response because they genuinely thought these blatantly gay people were only friends
to me and my current knowledge, this addition to Poppy & Sally's bios is evidence worth considering with this context. a tally in the "canon Popstar?" box!
#i would also like to bring attention to Rich Aunt Toodaloo and Best Friend Sue.#ive already been insane about it on stream but.#tee hee!!!#but yes so like#if two guys are referred to as 'best friends' in the context of Welcome Home's time period#im not gonna bat an eye! bc! well! there aren't any secret connotations to that!#but if two women are specifically called out as best friends? im going to be narrowing my eyes!#and honestly i think that the Toodaloo-Sue thing could. potentially.#be a way of hinting at the bios' 'best friend' status' true meaning#its certainly an interesting coincidence!! compelling one might say#homebogging#wh speculation#welcome home speculation#man. popstar Also has receipts huh.#lmao what if they're Also in a secret established relationship...#i doubt it but! an argument May be made...#man especially since it says May be best friends. the Ambiguity!#and how it points out that they're often depicted together... HELLOOOOO I SEE YOU!

fuckign obsessed with sabigiyu... sabito's tough and snarky and brash when hes around people but then see him with giyuu and hes the biggest fucking puppy... constantly touching and being affectionate whenever he can, harshly stopping/snapping at anyone who tries to badmouth giyuu or even looks at him wrong, always glancing back when hes talking looking for giyuu's attention and recognition- he so freely displays his love and its just so sickeningly sweet to anyone around as witness
giyuu's a youngest child too, you know he'd eat that shit up. he fucking loves how much sabito spoils him- the occasional time sabito tries to be stern or ignores him all he has to do is bat his eyes and raise the corners of his mouth and sabito near immediately caves to whatever he wants. anything to see giyuu's full smile, and giyuu never hesitates with him
they know exactly what the other wants at a given moment, know when to be soft and sweet or when to be rough and wild- quietly sitting together close enough for their thighs to touch and enjoying the warmth of eachother's presence to playfully pushing buttons until the other snaps and gives their full attention to grappling the other to the ground. they'd both stop at the drop of a dime for the other for whatever reason needed, lovingly teasing and calling the other an idiot the whole way out
#loserboy giyuu posting#fratboy sabito posting#sabigiyu#sabito x giyuu#i found Anything You Want(JAWNY ft. dojacat) and i just asfdghgjhykdsfghjkyj sABITO#he fucking loves giyuu sm. theyre both utterly obsessed with eachother but sabito's more outgoing abt it so its#way more obvious to outsiders. anyone who actually knows how giyuu is see how down bad he is- hes a different person when sabito's#way more obvious to outsiders. anyone who actually knows how giyuu is see how down bad he is- hes a completely different person when#sabito's around vs when hes not and everyone thinks they're ridiculous#sabito got in a fight one time bc he called someone pathetic for being scared to openly love their partner#giyuu had to drag him out like a cat carrying an angry kitten. he was staring them down with death in his eyes then as soon as line of#sight broke he looked to giyuu with a proud little smile and giyuu dropped him on his ass for getting into a fight for such a stupid reason#sabito tried to defend his superior opinion but stopped when giyuu kissed the top of his head and started walking off. scrambled to get up#and follow- whatever he was gonna say forgotten and no longer important#ough...#sorry im unwell about them#i like thinking of what they'd be like if they hadnt lost eachother and turned cold in eachother's absence like they did in canon#sabito asshole & giyuu spoiled brat supremacy#also this is ambiguous as to whether its canon-setting or modern its just Them#'youve got the funk- gets me stupid gets me drunk- ill do anything that you want- anything that you want want want'#its just oUGH

Someone being extremely annoying in the replies of my flowey and clover gif and I'm running out of patience 😭
#'well I THINK theyd just kill everyone then never reset in neutral' 'WE decide who clover is at heart' can you not#like. this is a piece of fanart. did you really just reply to tell me you don't like my headcanons or what#like... at least mention the art of you're gonna go on a several reply stint of this...#and im sorry but mmmmh... bad takes. frisk is morally ambiguous and its impossible to know what they'd do without our influence at this tim#but its a. fucking HUGE plot point in yellow neutral that we know what clover does without influence. without us. without flowey.#they stay w toriel indefinitely...#there's wiggle room for why and that's interesting. but its very clear vengeance wouldnt normally be their driving force#and that in itself is interesting! do we make them give into their anger? warp their sense of justice?#are they just going through the motions of getting this done now that they've ended up on this path?#that's all way more interesting to discuss than what feels like just treating them as a nothing character to treat as an insert#they did say its bc they dont like considering vengeance canon but that stumps me even more#why do you think we mold them then????#and idk if the devs said anything about it being noncanon but i haven't heard so#(and the devs also said Clover's gender is 'up to interpretation' and that's stupid so i also just don't care I'm sorry)#I'd rather embrace all routes and consider what that can mean for the characters#vengeance being unrealistic for ut means nothing when NONE of uty is realistic for ut#it's just a cool what if kinda story

reading fellowship of the ring to overcome being a lotr hater for so long (i actually didnt have any complaints about lotr itself so much as, people always got really pushy and rude about how i hadnt seen it and didn't really have any interest in doing so. like babes wait until you hear that ive never seen star wars either, or most of the big tentpole nerd franchises)
anyway. can someone tell me why i started crying when the hobbits met tom bombadil and goldberry. i love them???
#anime life#i know why. its because lotr is so much nicer than i was expecting#basically all fantasy media made after lotr was influenced by it so i guess i was (even subconsciously) expecting it to be. yknow.#like all the fantasy media that followed it#and personally i have grown a little weary w cynical irony-poisoned media where there is no kindness in the world bc its 'not realitistic'#but likewise im weary of the converse: very fluffy nice media where no one is ever really mean#(or if they are then they are immediately condemned by the story and its characters and there is no ambiguity)#yknow. game of thrones vs boyfriend dungeon. i don't really want either#so i keep being surprised that lotr is Serious and Important and Epic but also the world is so deeply kind#this weird magical guy and his hot wife help you and your friends because you need it#anyway they keep describing goldberry as being slender like a willow but i know that's a fucking LIE#i can perceive the truth: my girl is thick as all get out

Sailor Merope!!!
#crazy coconuts#my art#dnd#eddie#we need more sailor gaurdians that aren't size 00#i looked more at cosplayers than offical art (although like every other one. very much directly referred to an image for the pose + outfit-#but this was never supposed to be an exercise in pose or clothing. it was intentionally easy bc it was for fun)#(fair warning. long explanation incoming. also very little actual sailor moon knowledge)#ANYWAY merope is actually just a snappy version of what Im trying to say#which is def something to do with the pleiades (the dnd campaign is very christian. the associated love of 7. its the 7 sisters. you get it)#the pleiades especially work bc they fulfil sailor moon's love of space + greek myths/things in general#although. upon looking at the actual naming conventions most of the greek ones seem to be villains?#theres also whatever the animamates are doing#buuuut villains or not the ambiguity does sorta work bc i dont fully think we're being all that morally good in our dnd campaign#the stars in the pleiades themselves are named after their associated greek sisters too#anyway. merope was only specifically chosen bc she is often the “lost sister” so to speak#aka the explanation for why we can only generally see 6 of the brightest stars with the naked eye anymore#(the astrological explanation is that those things move! theyre movin right now! the 7 sisters are just that old of a story)#the missing sister thing is funny to me with my girl who would generally rather hide away forever#buuutt she was also the wife of sisyphus. which i could honestly explain away or ignore but its enough of a Thing#that i could see the other sisters working as well#but this explanation alone has had me sifting through astronomy websites and sailor moon wikis for over an hour#so i need to stop before i start looking into places to watch sailor moon#WAIT before I go. I would be embarrassed to not amend my previous statement about the missing sister#sometimes its electra! because she is distraught by the destruction of troy#very well could work better. but its too late. i have written so much. we must live with merope. gods know sisyphus didnt :}c

i think hanzawa and tashiro should manage to get themselves into an oops stumble into each other + fall situation only instead of like an accidental kiss or something, hanzawa's bangs fly up and in his excitement tashiro grabs his face like, "wait--is that your natural hair color?" because this is, wildly enough, his first time seeing hanzawa masato's eyebrows, because he is delightfully weird about keeping secrets sometimes, and because he has his hands on his face he will feel as well as see they way hanzawa blooms a violent red, face suddenly filled with deep heat, and tashiro will. well. he won't kiss him, of course. but he will be enchanted, a little, by what hanzawa masato looks like when caught completely off guard.
#kiri.txt#and hanzawa will be in Agony.#like its not even tashiro knowing his natural hair color. literally the disciplinary committee already knows that#tashiro doesnt know mostly bc hanzawa likes to mess with him#but its the like. suddenness of it all. the like. oh. wait tashiro perhaps. really wanted to know this. also hes touching my face.#and i like the ambiguity of like. is hanzawa embarrased bc of his natural hair color or is he embarrassed due to proximity. or both.#idk i just want them to get a little silly.#hanzawa to tashiro#me staring at the page: tashiro you are cradling the mouth of a volcano at this very moment.#harusono

anon im not gonna post that one, not bc of anything you said dw, im just not 100% sure if we are thinking of the same person bc i havent been paying attention if the posts i saw all came from the same op, and even tho there's no names in either of our things i still wouldnt feel comfortable spreading that w/o having seen it firsthand. that being said, in the event that we are: jesus fuck???
#i have to wonder if ppl like that actually care abt the media itself at all or if its just a vehicle for discourse to them#like if you dont want to hear opinions different from yours youre free to not talk to the rest of the fandom but you dont get to#demand everyone else drop their interpretations and agree with yours#esp bc theres always like. an implied 'or else' at the end where the punishment is Being Called Transmisogynistic Disingenuously#and its just like . ok and? ur gonna do that anyways#anyways yeah. its wild#im reminded also of something i saw a few months ago‚ im glad it didnt metastisize into full discourse#but essentially i saw a few ppl arguing over like. 'dave kinnies shut up homestuck isnt an inherently transmasc story just#because it cracked a lot of you. its a transfem story period.' and im just there like 👁️👄👁️ hey lets all go outside ! and listen to#some birds!! talk to a friend!!!!#like. it . doesnt have to be one or the other?? it can just. be inherently trans???? or even inherently ambiguously queer in general???#if you are transfem you will see it as inherently transfem because we project ourselves onto art#and vice versa transmascs will see it as inherently transmasc#bc like. gender can be a large part of our identity and a lot of us grew up with homestuck being a large part of our identity so it makes#sense that a lot of people would closely associate the two‚ and in turn why people are extra defensive about it#but its also like. just bc it makes sense doesnt mean its a healthy way of approaching it yknow?#anyways. rant over‚ and again hope you dont mind me not posting the ask itself#origibberish#gibberasks#editing bc i realized i was unclear: i am transmasc not transfem‚ the 'our' in that one tag is referring to Everyone nendjsbf

It’s ridiculous how men will talk 2 women they don’t find attractive or “cool”. Genuinely treating them like nothing at all. I asked a friend from college (who used to rely on me to get through writing classes) to keep an eye out for job leads in NY for me since I’m looking to move and he immediately rejected the ask bc he doesn’t work in broadcasting (like we studied). I told him well neither do I, I’m looking for anything, and congratulations on your move and he read it without writing back… man I got you through two or three classes and you can’t at least surface level agree to keep a fucking eye out? Come on
#i did think he was cute but i never made any direct moves or anything. i wonder if it was that? i found him more inconsiderate though and#that really is what wins out. but i do wonder if he like knew and was grossed out or some shit. which i get to an extent but also it’s not#like I was plotting. no i really don’t get what the deal is.#i keep thinking about it like are you seriously talking to me like this bc i’m not cool enough to help? or what? i generally lean towards#good faith interpretations in situations as ambiguous as these but theyve never served me like usually if i read someone as bitchy its bc#theyre being bitchy. the texts this guy would send me whenever i saved his ass are crazy btw. ‘’niku lets move to la and write til the cows#come home’’ ‘’niku youre the best’’ ‘’niku can you please read over my essay’’ ‘’niku am i a bad writer’’ so what is this new energy#oh well. all my haters turn to waiters at the table of success. except my ex friend who just got nominated for an emmy.#unfort i am a waiter at her table of success

Last night, I heard your terrifying howling. I felt the earth tremble, as if to shake me awake as you let loose the enchanting song of demise you sing when you catch someone in your woods.
It was followed by the townsfolk pounding at my door in a panic. A child had stumbled into your woods at sunset, and had yet to return now at midnight.
Your howling had convinced the useless brutes who guarded the village that you'd claimed the child as a casualty in your forest, but the villagers had managed to convince them to let me investigate first.
Thank the sun they had.
As I ran down the path to the fields, I saw you in the moonlight. In the middle of the wheat field, standing, with a dove pale as the purest white paints in your jaws. The brutish guards had followed me, and panicked, readying arrows and shouting for the rest of the village as I ran toward you.
Then, the child peeked out from behind your hulking form, looking up sleepily as if they were not standing by wilderness incarnate. The villagers chastised the brutes angrily, the child's mother running down yelling for them as your gaze pierced straight through me.
Toward the brutes.
You dropped the dove into my hands, black ichor staining my palms as you turned and nudged the child forward into their mother's embrace. When their mother asked the child why they'd taken so long to come back with you, they'd told her that something bad had tried to eat them after they got lost.
But then the angel, the child had pointed up at you with wonder in their eyes, had saved them. You glared at the brutes, and I shared your baleful gaze. Their disrespect would not have been tolerated if the child had not been present.
You bow and snort playfully at the child as a farewell, taking the dove in my hands back into your jaws before running off back to the forest. Your home.
I help the child's mother up from the ground, and carry the child up the hill. They're tired, it's past their bedtime. The brutes stare at me incredulously as I glower at them while walking past.
I spend the night awake after that. The scentless ichor that dripped from the dove's wounds, the visceral unsettlement I'd felt while holding it, how its figure had shifted unnaturally in my hands and your jaws keeping me from resting.
That was an angel. They'd sent an angel to kill that child in your forest.
Such a tiny child, incapable of doing any wrong, and yet they'd been all too willing to sacrifice them to instil the fear of the wild, the fear of you, back inside this village. After all the good you'd done, the successful hunts you'd sanctioned in the hunting grounds of your home....
I grasped my bone-steel knife you'd made for me after I'd helped you bury one of your kin, infused with your very power and strength. It's stayed under my floorboards for months now, I've not had the heart to use it. I felt as if any usage of it would be of disrespect to you.
But now, as I steel myself and begin gathering salt, candles and half of my money from where I store it? As fury burns inside of me like a pyre at the utter guts they had to try and kill one of my own to prove naught but a silly little argument that they were too stubborn to admit they were wrong about?
I feel a wild energy pulse through the knife as I stare out my window, gritting my teeth as I think of plunging the knife I clutch in my hand into the chest of a bastard who ruined my life before and seeks to do it again. I think of watching as black ichor streams out of their wounds as you and I raid their sacred halls of false innocence and purity.
This use for our knife is a compliment to you.
#Cardwork Poetry#not rw#tags from last poetry thing still stand btw#no romantic intentions here it is Purely like. me thinking about Myself and how I Am and using this to communicate that#and as such the Guy and the Beast are both technically Me. They are both Me and its weird but they're kinda like siblings#so. yea :3c#this is related to the last writing thing btw!! a bit of a darker thing but yk#writing#writers on tumblr#btw if you get the lil reference to lead poisoning i put in here ily <33 it was intentional.#ALSO ok ok last part but. its meant to be ambiguous whether or not the people who Sent the angel are like.#religious people or just straight up A God and their archangels. like it can be read either way bc it doesnt matter#since the Dude is gonna fucking kill them anyways <3

"Fascinating," says Sym, his fingers curling around the flowers tenderly, pressing a spit-covered petal between them; his eyes are bright with curiosity and pointed down, which means he can't see whatever expression Dys is making. "Is it common, for humans to cough up flowers like this?"
"Uh," says Dys, watching Sym stroke his thumb over a large white petal, and can't find an answer.
#SAW THIS ONE LITERALLY RIGHT BEFORE WORK YESTERDAY AND ITS BEEN ON MY MIND EVER SINCE#i love hnhk op i get u. i get u#anyways u might read this and wonder if its dys/sym or dys/sol or even smth else and the answer is#who knows. im not sure even dys knows.#tfw youre fifteen and you spend all ur time w/a hot alien who calls u special#but also you have only one friend nad they seek you out over everyone else#i was thinking of nightshade for the flowers tho LMAO (has my own biases)#it is meant to be ambiguous tho. dys is an ambiguous young man#anyways ty for this one im just like. rotating it#i think tang would also be a fun character for this mostly bc i tend towards hnhk as 'repressed feeling' instead of 'unrequited love'#and i think tang has. a lot repressed LOL#tang w/hnhk that gets worse instead of better when she and sol start dating. lol#ANWYAYS#i was a teenage exocolonist#how do you writing#asks#ask memes#anon

"oh hey a real person followed me, I should look at their blog"
soon
"...perhaps I should listen to Eskew."
oh boy you caught my blog after an exciting weekend lmao
I absolutely recommend eskew! I don't have a lot of coherent thoughts, since I got into it over a very physically and mentally draining summer job and have yet to relisten, but it left an impression for sure. I will say what there is of an overarching narrative felt a bit jolty to me in places, for lack of a better term— I think you get the vibe of a show that’s figuring itself out somewhat as it goes, however the ideas are very interesting and I could make a long list of moments that really really affected me. my recent posts probably give a good sense of what I liked most abt it; david ward is just. endlessly interesting as a character imo. the writing’s good— there's a kind of.. ironically humorous edge to a lot of my favourite episodes, something I’d have to relisten to properly articulate. there's a tic of referring to one-off characters by a title instead of a name— the correspondence editor, the architect, the witness— that scratches something in my brain. in contrast with the slimy fleshiness of much of the horror, the sound design is just nice, actually— the rain never stops in eskew and the tone of the narration stays pretty level no matter what’s being described. there are only two narrators and I found both of their voices pleasant enough to close my eyes to on the subway after a long day. very solid show
#ask#eskew#I don’t usually post this much abt eskew but that jonathan sims vs david ward most sopping wet podcast man poll awakened smth in me .#got me itching to write like 1000 words abt how it’s ultimately an unfair comparison#but I havent listened to either podcast in A While so I don’t trust myself to be like. right. abt anything#I’ll just say.#eskew has its narrator in the middle of the horror right off the bat. it’s more immediately immersive and far less grounded—#early episodes you have rlly no guarantee that anything david is perceiving is real or what ‘real’ even means within the rules of his world.#even later on it’s p ambiguous how many of the people he interacts with are actually people and this uncertainty gets exploited a lot#basically. in tma the world looks broadly like our own and is being affected by outside forces where in eskew the setting IS the horror#if I were writing an essay abt this I might make it abt the ways each show plays w humour and absurdity—#the caricature of jon’s initial presentation is a grounding force at the start#where eskew consistently uses absurdity to unground you and keep you uncertain#ofc the initial security to this divide between jon and the statements gradually dissolves#but tma just has a lot more structure the whole time w both the epistolary kind of format and the world.eskew gets. abstract .#what I’m saying is david is infinitely wetter and more miserable bc his story both requires and allows for it. tonally.#and because the rain literally and metaphorically never stops.#david never gets a fucking break even when he gets a fucking break bc he can never KNOW if he’s really getting a fucking break#or if the city that loves him soso much is about to turn on him#(also hes far more chaotic morally I think on account of just being. further out of touch).#at least tma has enough supporting characters who are definitively real people by the rules of its universe#for you to have found family expectations it can repeatedly subvert.#david is a half drowned rat.#. however jonathan sims has more fans and could never lose 😔

I feel like I am mostly non punitive and anti carceral in my hopes for an afterlife but i am like. I think ppl who argue Venus/Aphrodite would approve of terf talking points SHOULD be smote for blasphemy against her
#you mean the goddess of transgenders?????#both current + past#like??#this isnt precise historical language bc our idea pf gender is wildly different#but its not AMBIGUOUS#someone made me read this with my eyes and im making ot everyones problem#basically from a modern lens we separate intersex ppl from trans ppl in identity#this makes no sense to me personally but also i am both#and it just... makes it hard to understand gender
