every day I thank god fans aren't in charge of making updates to games
#unless ofc you play tf2#but STILL like. ive seen so many bullshit rebalances for spies and snipers#and like. ik the current system is plain tiring to fight against but these people WOULD MAKE IT WORSE#i just saw a post about fallout 4 changes#and some of them are obvious. like changing danses dialogue after blind betrayal etc#but like. NO. some of these.....#WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO REPAIR NICKS FACE?#1 thats his charm. hes old and broken down. 2 it would NOT help his identity issues#like this is the face and hes made it his own. hes no longer an institute synth AND he's no longer the pre-war human detective valentine#also romancing him....eh. i admit i would also love to romance him#but to quote one of the disco elysium creators: the thing about desires is that theyre much stronger when theyre not fully satiated#thered for sure be still nick simpers ofc. as am i. but imo i think thered be less#and again coming back to tf2. i saw recently a post on reddit that made a concept sapper for spy to use on medics#and like please 😭😭😭you want to sap the medigun? you want to sap übercharge? you want to hurt medics EVEN MORE?#playing med well is hard enough as is normal girl. there was a comment down below saying that the spy should have sappers for each class#and WHAT. STOP. the spy ALREADY has a way to hurt all classes!#if he gets close enough he either dies immediately or backstabs! why do you want to sap too!#and spy is already SPECIFICALLY a counter to engie! and gets countered by pyro! its a good balance imo#ofc theres some tweaks to be made for each class but CMON. thatd be a HUGE rework for spy#and some other comment said that a sapped medigun should hurt teammates. FRIENDLY FIRE IS EXPLICITLY NOT A THING!!!#we should bully spy mains more btw#okay. bitching over. sorry#i have more to say but ughhhhhhhh#thatd be pretty much just repeating what i already said basically#mine#rant

I need advice: I do not know what to do with my hair
#so fun fact about me is that I used to have a fear of haircuts (genuinely) like I would shake in the chair and these past few years ive been#trying to get over it#it has been ok! my hair was like halfway down my back before any haircuts were done and I would cut it little by little testing my fear#and it was going really well. I felt confident#but I wanted to try something different and go shorter than I ever have gone before: above my shoulders#and when that happened it ruined me! I cried for days and I feel like I lost my beauty bc I had connected a lot of my beauty to my hair#my family saying that my hair is so beautiful and dont ever cut it blah blah blah#which was now rly affecting me bc ow now my hair is above my shoulders and it's alley fault and I feel so ugly#all my fault**#it has grown out a bit and I got layers despite a lot of anxiety bc I have curly hair and#I like the layers and I like the short hair#but sometimes society's expectations and my family's gender norms smack my ass and im back at square one of 'I want long hair to feel pretty#bc with long hair I feel like I adhere to society better even if it doesnt make me happy(I feel like short hair is more Me)#and with short hair I feel more me but then I feel out of place and ugly#and ik this is all just identity issues but what should I do for this next haircut? my hair is just past my shoulders. do I just get a trim#or do I get it cut a little more so it's just above my shoulders?#which would make me happy bc That's Me but also not happy bc Society#sorry y'all had to learn about me today but I would appreciate any kind of perspective#apple lady words

Jude Bellingham (Soccer Player).... Personality Reading
He's very disciplined about his sexual needs/lust. It's like he has a high sex drive but he doesn't act irrational bc of it and knows how to keep himself under control (I doubt he's easily seduced).
He's no sore loser, very good at accepting defeat in a healthy way. Doesn't throw a temper tantrum and likely won't be one of those soccer players that act all dramatic, throwing themselves around, pretending to be hurt. He has a sort of class about him
I think he ignores his wants alot. Like if he wanted to eat a bunch of junk food or partake in sex, he ignores these desires.
He has this childlike innocence to him, it could be bc he's young, but his mind isn't very dirty/corrupt and he's quite naive. I feel like he's more naive socially than anything, I doubt he can read ppl well and just goes off what they say to him (which he could end up being deceived). He could still have a child's mindset so I think he will need mature support from other adults to guide him (like a wise mentor)
He has problems with holding himself responsible/accountable. And he's quite cynical and prone to depression. He's like the kind of person that believes in fate or 'the universe' but only to blame situations on that. it's as if he sometimes believes 'oh its fate doing, there's nothing I can do to fix this" or "it's God's will". This mindset holds him back from taking action to fix his problems instead he sits back, slumps his shoulders, hangs his head and says "I guess this is my fate".
Okay, so. Remember when I told you guys he's obsessive, well that's showing up again. He's possessive and obsessive in romantic relationships, controlling too. Doesn't want his partner out of his sight and texts/calls too much to the point of love bombing. Too clingy, too passionate, too intense, too much of a cancer lol (I love y'all cancers though ❤). He should be careful with who he marry (or should I say his partner should be careful marrying him). He can get into a nasty divorce. The guy also gives "if I can't have you, nobody can" vibes sooooooo........
I will admit, I said he's quite a disciplined guy but in relationships (especially when he falls in love), all that sexual/emotional/physical disciplinance goes out the window. He also can become obsessed with getting with a person that doesn't want him.
This guy's suffers from mental health problems and has abandonment issues, he feels alone and like a outcast a lot. I see some anxiety and panic attacks. He's constantly on an emotional rollercoaster, highs and lows.
He has feminine gentleness about him, can take on a caretaker role. He's quite fragile.
Ik he's mixed (European/African) but he could feel like he doesn't belong to neither his black side or his white side. Has some identity issues. But I see he has interest in exploring his roots for both sides (idky his energy gives off someone who was raised by a single parent).
Has some drinking problems and is surrounded by a lot of yes men (ppl constantly lying to him).
Has some interest in the wars happening rn, may or may not end up saying something about the Israel-Hamas situation on social media. Even if he doesn't, irl he has a grounded stance on the matter
Wicked Games by The Weekend is a song that fits this readings energy

Fuck it gonna put all my Tangled rants into a single thread that I'll just continue on if needed-
Oldest to newest btww (also spoilers most of these r about Eugene btw ik ik I'm a lil autistic spare me 💀)
That one part of Bruno is Orange but Eugene coded-
"Did you hear about that Father
Sent his own infant son away
And said "It's to *dangerous* for
you to stay so, I had to *save* you" "
I may be cringe but I am FREE
Yo omg ok so my brother is singin a Into the Woods song while I look at Tangled stuff n it made me remember a scene from the play where Gothel yells at the Prince "Rapunzel can think for herself!" n like- dude Cass said the same thing in Cassandra's Revenge to Eugene! Ooo girlll-
The way I would kill so many ppl if it meant getting a series about Lance n Eugene as kids like broooo imagineee-
Its crazy how like I'll be enjoying my day than suddenly I'll see a post of a mf going "Hey what if Eugene thought he was a yr younger cuz he was like a rlly scrawny kid?" Yeah ok sure n what if I hit u with a *metal pole*
My tangled ocs r so random its hilarious- like it goes from a bodyguard,a greedy businessman,a ringleader,n than that one serial killer who turns ppl into meat pies like how did we get here???? 😭🙏
I just remembered like just a few days ago my brother randomly said "vase" while playing Fortnite n my ass just said "vAHse" just to fck w/ him n like that kinda reminded me of that one scene of Eugene n Cass like damn they were sibling coded frrr lmao I miss em
Wdym there was a scrapped Eugene n Lance childhood episode??🧍And WDYM it's literally everything I ever wished for and more???????? 😃
Would love to see Eugene n Martin Kratt interact solely to see Martin be appalled n slowly lose his mind over how Eugene knows jackshit about animals 💀🙏
I think the Eugene genderbends look so weird to me because none of them kept the infamous goatee like cmon man don't be a coward give that girl some facial hair 🗣🗣
I should not be relating Heather's music to scenes from Tangled the Series yet here we r 😭
Omggg thinking about how Eugene proposing to Rapunzel in tts came from his abandonment issues n him literally not being able to see a life without Rapunzel omgg shut upppp leave me ALONEEE
Literally despise with every fiber of my being how the writers of the shitty Wreck it Ralph 2 movie had fcking RAPUNZEL of all ppl say "Do ppl assume all ur problems were solved just because a big strong man showed up?" They fcking HATEE the movie Tangled *so much* bro istggg
OMFG THE VOICE OF KING FREDRIC FROM TANGLED IS MR. FCKING KRABS WHAT?????
The way I wanna be bold n talk more about the "Over the Corona Walls" ep- esp about Staylan n Eugene n all the icky implications of that but I'm also so scared too cuz I fear ppl won't take me seriously or think I'm overanalyzing too much 😭🙏
Lowkey not over the fact Eugene was willing to trap himself back in an abusive relationship, "leaving" the one person he HAS died for n would die for again, all to save his best friend like bro don't TALK TO MEEEE
As u can tell I am totally normal n not at all ill about Eugene or this show 😁
What if I gave Eugene like- slight wedding trauma after the whole "Beyond the Corona Walls" incident??? I think it'd be kinda cool n in character ngll 🤭🤭
No but that prompt for the unaired Lance n Eugene episode STILL makes me so fcking ill bro stg can't STAND those mfss bro 😭😭
"And if I gave up on being *pretty* I wouldn't know how to be ALIVE" is SO Eugene coded idc idc idccccc
You think if I put Eugene Fitzherbert in The Amazing Digital Circus he'd be a walking dumpster fire considering he needs an identity to function n in TADC u like- quite literally don't have one??? 💀
Was listening to an audio last night n now I kinda wish we knew like- what Eugene's mom was actually *like* in a way considering I don't think her character was ever explored :((
Why is this plushie literally Eugene Fitzherbert omgg I want it nowwww
To the ppl who only see others as their pfps lowkey rlly hope y'all just see me as jester Eugene Fitzherbert cuz that'd be rlly funny n I'd love that 💀🙏 like yes I truly am just Eugene in a jester fit yappin my ass off on twitter dot com LMFAOOO (btw follow me @/theratbatjester)

HI HI HI long ask incoming :,,DD
so i have a transmasc muslim character from Malaysia, and i was wondering what the biggest no-no’s are when it comes to writing their transition? and, also, what is it like being a queer muslim in general?
being a queer and trans asian i understand enough (personal experience lol) but i was raised (unfortunately) in a predominantly catholic country that has a LOT of misinformation abt muslims. which sucks. i vaguely know that removing one’s hijab is a very delicate, sensitive thing to do. but what happens when the person no longer identifies as a woman, and wishes to present masculinely? or heck, even present a bit femininely, but still choose to identify as a man? how would a trans muslim go about presenting the way they want to, in the theoretical situation that they’re in a safe enough environment to do so?
hii <333 i want to clarify beforehand that this is a VERY sensitive issue, esp among muslims. cause us as muslims have faced enough misrepresentation as is, and some (i promise not me) may consider it insulting and misrepresentative for a queer muslim to exist (as if they dont already). just, be wary when approaching this subject
now, the issue here is that trans muslims are an EXTREME minority, and i mean extreme. not many people transition and still call themselves muslim. they either renounce islam, or hide their identities for the sake of safety. islam resembles christianity in a way—queerness is a big no-no. HOWEVER, in islam its not haram to BE these things, its haram to act like it (specifically, acting like the opposite gender. dressing like them, who you get married to, etc)
you have to be v delicate, since most ppl would not accept a trans muslim character (i say most bc there are ppl who wouldnt mind, but society as a whole generally would in fact mind)
you almost never see women decide to take off their hijab bc they dont identify as a woman. removing the hijab is taboo enough in muslim culture, but doing that due to not identifying as a woman anymore? BIG no-no
if, theoretically, theyre in an environment safe enough to do so, they still may find ppl unfriending them bc of it, or tryna convince them not to do so for their own safety
HOWEVER, i do have genderqueer friends irl who are still muslim, all of them afab. im gonna use two of them as an example (keep in mind we do live in a transphobic/homophobic society)
the first one (genderfluid but goes w any pronouns) was a hijabi before they stopped identifying as a woman, and they still wear a hijab. however, they do wear chest binders and more masculine style of clothing (e.g. no skirts). they still cover their awrah (the part of a muslim that should be covered. for men its from the navel to below the knees, for women its everywhere except the face and hands), but theyve become a lil more careless w the hijab (like wearing it looser)
the second one (he/they) isnt a hijabi, and they still have long hair. however, he also wears a chest binder, but still likes makeup and things like that. ik less abt this one cause we arent as close as me n the first friend, but thats what ik
and i also mentioned the awrah. keep in mind that men have a hijab too, just a different kind. "hijab" just means covering, n both genders have to cover personal parts. so your character may stop wearing a headscarf, but they still have to wear longer shorts n grow out a beard (and yes, growing out your beard is a must for men in islam. according to most scholars anyway, since the prophet pbuh did it)
if your character was previously a hijabi, you might make him more careless w the hijab (showing more n more hair until he eventually renounces it completely) n start wearing more t-shirts w jeans and things like that (search up "grunge hijab" n youll see what i mean)
it IS better to make a trans non-muslim in a muslim society, considering a lotttttt of muslims might find it offensive if theres a trans muslim, but obv i have no say in your character and in the end its entirely your choice <33 just be aware that its kinda like stepping on broken glass here

So at school we have to do this thing where we have to talk about problems and stuff. One of those discussions was social media and being online.
Ik these discussions are to help us and stuff but they annoy me so much bc the teachers say things that aren’t valid.
like they say that we shouldn’t talk to people online bc we do h know if they’re lying about their identity. But I feel as if people have a right to keep information to themselves. If I’ve spent multiple hours talking to them and interacting with them I know they’re not someone I should be scared of. Like I’m sorry this person has told me they ship prongsfoot romantically I’m not scared that they’ll come and kill me. So what if they tell me that they’re male and they’re actually female. They could be trans and not out irl. IT DOESN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
And also they say that the government should make more laws to protect people online. But you can’t trust the government to do that. They’ll just censor all the wrong things. They’ll take away safe spaces from people who have no other way to access them. It’s already almost happened. They’ll target lgbtq+ safe spaces instead of the real issues
idk I’m probably blowing this up to a bigger problem then it is but still.

Tw for transphobia ig? Not super serious I just cant focus til i scream abt this so sorry
Tumblrs tryna get me in something I keep seeing out of context discourse abt transandrophobia , tried to avoid it bc it was hitting a sore spot but finally looked and. Don't get why ppl arguing it shouldnt be a term for transmascs/trans men bc they only experience transphobia while being benefited by the patriarchy. Like u are still. Trans? Rlly its a weird cocktail of transphobia, misogyny, and misandry where ppl dont see u as a man if they know ur female, but get uncomfortable abt u presenting as masc, like ur ruining urself and hrt turns u into some evil scary creature bc men are bad apparently and bioessentialism is a curse upon this world that needs to be eradicated like.
The timing of this got to me bc the one person I came out to fully was a guy(who had a crush on me the whole time unfortunately) that immediately responded by letting me know he was into femboys. Then clarified he also liked masc women, and every time we talked from then on he brought up guy stuff but would stop and go 'yeah idk if i should say it.. ur like a girl u know, right?' Exact phrasing no matter how many times I said haha ig but 80% of the time i feel like a guy, but I couldnt be anything other than a girl to him unless I was a femboy. He confessed that multiple times like it was some suggestion..? Great way to get ur gender fucked up like back tf up damn cognitively I am Not there yet i was just excited abt sharing my identity w someone.. I dont have an issue w them they're cute I just felt wildly dysphoric abt it. Which is why I'm complaining ig my bad its wild but minimal in comparison to stuff I read the Actual point is.
This seems to just be a handful of ppl holding these opinions and they get spread around, and they have issues w afab nb ppl like?? The complaints I've seen seem to be targeting some idea of afab nb ppl being able to use their status as a privilege which. Idk what imaginary yt skinny middle class easily able to pass being they think comprises all afab nbs and transmascs? Like have yall never heard of intersectionality a little?? Even within that group there is so much variation yall are gonna lose it when u realize race, physical appearance, money, social status and abt a million other factors impact most ppls ability to be trans while receiving any respect or affirmation like
Show me where most ppl dont look at afab nb ppl and treat them like a girl or ignore any of ur pronouns besides she/her like. It's just dumb to deny ppl the right to talk abt how they experience transphobia bc u assume every nb person can pass or wants to idk?? As an nb I don't ever rlly expect to reach passing one way or the other but we live in a society so ppl will not respect that and thats the real issue! So weird like we need to be focusing on the transphobes that don't want any of us to have the right to transition or express ourselves. Which is what I plan to do now I've said my piece but idk afab nb ppl get behind me I'll fight to the death like. I'll fight to the death for all of us we all experience oppression in one way or the other and attacking certain communities over preconceptions doesn't help imo
And last note I don't wanna seem like idk how pressing of an issue transmisogny is ik how heavily targeted trans women are on a public scale comparatively there's always something to be said abt that. And a lil nervous abt using afab I don't wanna be exclusionary but couldn't find anyone using another term for nb ppl like me I'm tryna educate myself on intersex liberation on the side.. just don't think we need to infight we should listen to each other
#text#personal#vent#rant#sorry kinda personal talking abt tumblr issues but hiding under here so i dont get in trouble#i rlly try to shut up abt things but my brain wont leave me alone rn

relating to that vent, i getchu so bad. i feel like in general, the internet might worsen compulsions & obsession within ocd + etc. i have a similar feeling (wouldnt say identical cause i know u from tumblr n yaknow yaknow) that tells me everything i do needs to be 100% morally correct or [insert awful things] will happen to me or someone i love. and this is easier to deal with when you're offline, because there's a limit on the people that can get mad at you. half of the world won't get mad at you because only 0.00001% (or whatever) of the world knows you, yaknow. on the net, it feels like everyone who has an account knows you. your brain telly you anyone who has an account on here might see what you posted & they might be mad at you & they might make a callout post or whatever. even though they don't know you. which is a terrifying thought for many. i dont think youre alone in this, genuinely. and i feel it can be improved. some stuff that's helped me: - making separate accounts w private stuff (doesnt rly work on tumblr but like a private account on insta & etc etc) - rationalising thoughts (an example of this would be thinking: is it really likely many people will agree with someone being mad at me? or: how many people actually do see my posts? is that proportional to the amount of followers i have) - and talking ab it w friends. genuinely, the communication + processing of these thoughts & feelings is soo helpful. sending u soo much love <3 if u wanna chat a bit ab it you can dm me :) (ask can be published or responded 2 privately, whatever u prefer!)
Thank you so much for this message omg :’) ❤️❤️❤️❤️ So thoughtful. This made me tear up a little haha. I’m posting it here so I can look back at it later; hopefully that’s okay.
I’m really glad to hear other people feel the same way/have the same worry… like logically I know that it’s something a lot of people worry about, but idk; my brain has a way of convincing me I am the only person in the world who has done anything ‘bad’ ever LMAOO. So this was really nice to hear
Also I’m a very talkative person! Like I’m definitely an introvert, but I do like to talk about myself and my interests and my feelings etc. Especially when I have a forum (cough Tumblr) to post into the void 😭😭 So I guess that’s part of my issue; IRL, there are less people to be upset if I do/say something ‘bad’, and most of them are my close friends and know I don’t have bad intentions. But online, I walk on eggshells bc 1) strangers online DON’T know my intentions and 2) I just think my mutuals are really cool lol. So I don’t want to do/say anything ‘bad’ or even embarrassing in their presence yk? And online, their ‘presence’ comprises literally all the time w everything I post
I should probably make a more private account 😅 This one is kind of that (just bc it has far fewer followers than my other blog), and I have one on Instagram with like two people following it that I haven’t touched in a while, sooo maybe I will go back to that for more personal vents and whatnot 🫡 I try not to post anything TOO personal on Tumblr, anyway. I just also really like creating fan content, which sort of inherently puts me in a public space even if I don’t WANT to have an ‘audience’ (regardless of how small that audience is; ik there are people who look up to my writing, and that puts a lot of extra pressure on me, but I don’t want to stop writing, either…. Agh)
Idk this is probably overly personal and also very disjointed bc I just finished writing a 1,800 word essay and my brain is mush lol. I’m just sort of reiterating everything you said. Sorry for making you read all this lmao 😭🙏 But thank you for the kind words, seriously ❤️ I really really appreciate it :’D !!!!!!!
#thank you <3#like this is so sweet omg. thank you :’)#also I am soooo bad at dming people oops. but you are welcome to dm me too if you ever want ^_^#ask

ik we were talking abt this yesterday but god people take gender way too seriously like ppl need to either be more silly and stop caring or kill tgemselves or something instead of foaming at the mouth when they see a trans person who doesnt present in a way that 100% fits their arbitrary requirements for gender presentation
No you're absolutely right like. either care less about business that isnt yours or articulate exactly what the problem is and when you find out that despite your alleged liberalism, you actually hold views that reinforce the gender hierarchy but you were too self absorbed in your own performative activism and getting wokepoints by regurgitating talking points of popular people instead of thinking critically to even notice... And with Finn I just don't get whats so hard about comprehending the prospect of a guy putting falsies on, enjoying looking like a girl, and still being a guy. It's just... so revealing that t.rfs have been like "oh sure trans women can cosplay as 'real' women but they should just still call themselves men" and then when Finn does exactly that they somehow take issue with him parodying femininity. And it comes back to t.rf ideology reinforcing gender roles once again in the sense that they must reinforce the idea that cisgender women have the monopoly on suffering at all times. Because if they ever acknowledge that they can hold positions of power over other marginalised groups, that would mean acknowledging that t.rf ideology mirrors fascist ideology in how the harder they gatekeep who gets to be a woman (not crossdressing men, not transgender women, not intersex people, not women of color -- and they exclude them with the exact same logic that powers phrenology), the harder they construct a society where only the ubermensch cisgendered ablebodied white women are permitted to exist peacefully and everyone else is subject to their hatred and vitriol - or worse.
Big exhale. Anyway people really should embrace getting more silly. Cisgendered people are allowed to be silly with gender. Transgender people are allowed to be silly with gender. Kids and elderly people are allowed to be silly... you get the picture. N like I said earlier in our conversation, the more you demystify it in your own mind and in other people's surroundings, the more comfortable you and others get to feel with it!! Being silly w gender doesn't necessarily mean not taking your relationship with gender 'seriously', its just about knowing yourself and your understanding of both your own gender, and gender as a concept, better through play. Play has always helped people learn, and adults are allowed to play too. There's no rules to how you can do that. When we're in safe environments where we can play by our own rules, we don't need to act like we're still in that world where how you were born limits who you can be. And that goes for everyone regardless of identity. And if you dont wanna get involved then shut up or kill yourself!!!
#too many run on sentences sorry if this barely makes sense#tw transphobia#with that last bit. do you know what i mean#i know some people can't risk doing this kind of thing and i wouldnt urge them to#but in the privacy of your own safe space (and if that extends to being in public i think thats amazing)... what is stopping you#from doing whatever!#YOU TOO ARE A GIRL OF THE MONTH!

For the character ask game: 7, 8, 18, 21, 26. For Kyle.
26: do you see Kyle as the taller one or Stan? I’m always very interested to see how different artists and/or fic writers view heights in general. Typically it’s common for people to make Kyle the taller one, but I’ve always enjoyed the idea that, as a kid, Kyle was one of the shorter guys in school but ended up getting a huge growth spurt around middle school - thus popping up taller the the other main three. But I’m curious to see your take on it! (And if you’d like I think it’d be cool to know how you imagine Stan and Kyle in your fic, like heights, clothes, scars, accessories etc!)
(Ask game here!) TEEHEE, YAY THANK YOU ANON FOR ASKING ABOUT MY OTHER FAVE. :D
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
How we all let him play and succeed in the basketball team! Kyle in canon does have wide variety of interests, so I do adore that in fanon, we bring out his sporty side more!
8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
cracks knuckles Here we go lmao. I'm choosing violence today. <33 Actually should say that I don't see this as much anymore - this is more reacting to something that was common earlier 2023:
The way fandom holds Kyle to a much higher moral standard than others, hands down. I noticed this happens with morally right, outspoken characters in general, but it seems that whenever Kyle makes a mistake or is a hypocritical asshole, he is suddenly the worst and "as bad as Cartman." which... honey no, that's not it at all. Kyle is flawed, yes, but to say he's as bad as Cartman is blatantly wrong imo. When you reduce Kyle to just a bad guy, you just lose so much nuance which is a shame because the fact that he tries to be a moral person is SO FASCINATING!!
I've said it before but also how the fandom judges Kyle for not saving Stan during YGO/Assburgers. Someone on Tumblr said it first (can't find the original post), but my issue with the "But Stan saved Kyle many times, why can't Kyle?!" argument is that in all of those times, there was an easy fix. In 'Super Best Friends', all Stan had to do was break the glass to stop him from drowning, while in 'Cherokee Hair Tampons', Stan tricked Cartman into donating his kidney to Kyle. All simple solutions. But when it comes to depression, there's no simple fix at all (nevermind the fact that Kyle is like... 9, and adults struggle with this too).
(And of course, people are allowed to disagree with Kyle's actions, or think he should have done more. I just think that putting a moral judgement i.e. calling him good/bad over something as complicated as depression rubs me off the wrong way.)
18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
IKE!! I really adore their sibling relationship, how Kyle goes from finding Ike annoying (as any young kid would do), to how he becomes protective and caring over him.
21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?
Favourite thing: KYLE IS SUCH AN INTERESTING CHARACTER TO EXPLORE. You can put him in many different scenarios and get interesting character studies! You could do an character study before the Post COVID special, you could explore his need to do the right thing and be the mature one (bonus points if this is in a Stick of Truth AU!) and so on.
Least favourite thing: This is specific to 'A Ballad of True Hearts' but it was heartbreaking to write this kid get into an crisis over his morals and his identity after failing to save Stan from banishment. A young prince with pure intentions finds out how cruel politics can be in the worst way possible by losing his soulmate and best friend and almost-lover to banishment. A young prince who only wanted to right by his kingdom by getting humans to join knighthood... only for it to backfire. SIGH.
For a more general answer though, I would say probably trying to find the right balance between the compassionate Kyle versus the times where he can be unintentionally cold vs him being hotheaded. Not something I dislike per se, but more like something challenging!
26. Do you see Kyle as the taller one or Stan?
OOOHHHOOHHHH OKAY, so I'm a believer that Kyle initally starts as the shorter one when they hit puberty, only because I think Stan would totally heckle him for his height AND hear me out, okay - Cartman getting his ass handed to him constantly by the shortest kid of their group… how super embarrassing for him. <333 And of course, by the time high school starts, Kyle gets a growth spurt and becomes the tallest one in their group. In a world where Style gets together during high school years, their height differences is something they banter about, hehe.
(And if you’d like I think it’d be cool to know how you imagine Stan and Kyle in your fic, like heights, clothes, scars, accessories etc!)
Ahh, very sweet of you to ask this, hehe! For heights, I imagine them to be more or less to be of the same height, just to follow the "Stan and Kyle are on equal footing" symbolism.
I'm going to be honest and say that at the start, I didn't put too much thought into their outfits because I kinda just imagined them dressed in their Stick of Truth/Trilogy outfits, except older haha. Stan pretty much wears this throughout the fic. His blue helmet, however, does become cracked and shattered after their fall from the sky at the end of chapter 10. So by Act 2, he ends up sporting some bucket-hat looking helmet like this (except without the rustiness of course!)
(Source)
Before he was banished, he did occasionally wear a surcoat that bore the Broflovski House emblem (what that looks like... I'm not sure yet LMAO). He doesn't wear this in present now ofc since that's easily identifiable to assassins.
As for Kyle in Act 2, he definitely wears his Black Friday trilogy outfit. As for Act 1... he is said to dress in a typical attire for elf pages, so I imagined something like the elf enemies in Stick of Truth. Maybe this little guy in particular:
Edit: Jks lmao I'm retconning this :') Kyle wears a plain robe, hood and cloak in act 1.
Speaking of, I may do a minor retcon to remove his ushanka hat until the beginning of Act 2, and replace it with one of the elf hats. It doesn't quite make sense for leafy, temperate Larnion to have ushankas.
As for his attire as the prince - I'd like to think he wore red robes that were more simple and had less patterns than his Stick of Truth one. The crown (another retcon I gotta do eeeeeeep), is a circlet! Probably similar to Thranduil's crown circlet from The Hobbit, but same colour as the branch crown that his Stick of Truth persona as (which is the crown that Gerald wears!) He doesn't wear this in the present, though. :(
RIGHT FOR SCARS... in chapter 9-11, they both bruises on their faces from their brawl in chapter 9. And eye bags... yes, they're chronically tired and in desperate need of rest. They do have scratches and scars around from their run-in with the assassins - noticeable in the legs and arms, which gets covered anyway by their attire. Stan still has scars around the torso from the torture.
Hope that helps, I apologise if it was vague. Kinda just chill with leaving it to people's imaginations, and whether they wish to imagine the canon designs or not.
Thank you again for the ask!! :]

Hey, ik this is an old post and idk if people have given good answers or not but u seem good faith and I wanna give a lil context. but I have some recommended reading for you. Zionism is the idea of a jewish state somewhere within our historical homeland in the levant, what we call “eretz yisrael”. This is often mischaracterized as a desire for a state with jewish supremacy and preferential treatment, it is not. I, as a non-zionist jew, tend to believe that any state with a purpose of being for one group will inevitably place other groups in an unequal place, even with the best intentions. Most zionists disagree that this state cannot be equal for everyone and are fighting for this state TO be equal for everyone. You should keep in mind as well, by the way, zionism is a jewish issue. Christian/evangelical zionism is NOT zionism. It is an appropriation of a term designed for a jewish perspective on how, when, and if we should return home. Use of it by others to describe themselves is appropriation, plain and simple. I would also like to point out, in light of this, saying, “a form of zionism that doesn’t require murder” is antisemitic. This is not an accusation at u hating jews, but saying that you have been mislead to think that’s the predominant form in the first place, which is itself antisemitic propaganda. Because, it’s not the most common form, and any jew with connections in the jewish community will tell you that. However, what I do believe, is the right for jews to LIVE in eretz yisrael. Any jews who wish to have a right to live there just as any palestinians do. It is our indigenous homeland and our culture and traditions are built firmly into that land that was stolen from us 2000 years ago when we were sent into exile. That land is fully inextricable from collective jewish identity and we need to be able to live there freely and safely. This is not a comment abt the current state of things. Currently in eretz yisrael it is palestinians facing genocide and apartheid, not jews. But any longterm solution needs to enable both peoples to live together peacefully and for both to have full rights to live anywhere in the land with equal rights everywhere. And, yea, being against zionism isn’t antisemitic necessarily. Again, I’m saying this stuff as a non-zionist jew. But I can tell you that people have been pretending that their jew hate was only antizionism for around a century and a half. Just look up the protocols of the elders of zion if u wanna see more abt that. As I said before, you seem like someone acting in good faith, but it also seems you know very little about jewish life, experience, or history. That ignorance is the way in which antisemitic propaganda gets accepted as truth and the pervasiveness of ignorance is why antisemitism is so horrific right now. I would beg of you to read this resource I’ve linked below. It gives excellent instruction at starting to find antisemitic dogwhistles and propaganda in leftist spaces. particularly around this topic, and it was written by a jew with a history of palestinian activism. People like you reading this and learning about what to look for so you can help make spaces safer for jews is the only way the world will get safer for us. So please. Read this and share it with others you know too. We have been crying for help for months, years really, and we’re too often told our suffering doesn’t matter. So anything you can do to spread the word about fighting antisemitism and educating yourself on how to help matters a great deal. Thank you.
“Being anti Zionist is inherently antisemitism because all Zionism says is that Jews have a right to live in their homeland.”
Do other groups all have the right to live in their homeland? What is “a right” in this context?
If I have “a right” to go live in Greece, as it is my homeland, what exactly is owed to me by the Greek government?
Every time I try to figure out what the other side is saying this concept of “rights” to “homelands” pops up and is discussed as if it’s obvious and I can’t even decode it.
I believe refugees from the Holocaust should absolutely have been given asylum somewhere safe for them, but I have no idea how that parses as “a right to live in their homeland.”
Im open to the idea that there exists a version of Zionism that does not include slaughtering the other people who also want to live in their homeland, but i don’t get how it looks when none of these terms are defined.

Interview/podcast with myself ep1: goss and trust
:so gossip, they say that i have them, alot of them, and i really cant defend myself anymore cus its true right?
:absolutely, people will come straight for you or used to right?
:ya, i mean i dont find gossip it finds me, yk giving i dont chase i attract vibes
:and can we pleaseee stop the nonsense gossips
:well all gossips are nonsense right?
:i mean yeah kind of
:its the who is being talked abt thats important and makes the gossip MORE valuable and juicy and more interesting to hear!
:i mean do i like the fact that i spreqd gossip around? no ofc! but im not the one who made that certain goss, half the time, i just get it from my sources then it just slides into different conversations i have with friends and alot other ppl and yk that can fkng start a conversation lets be fr.
:totally! and the only important part abt spreading it is that u have ur identity protected, nobody will know that it was YOU who spread goss, in short, nobody will snitch and tell it to other people that it was u who spread.
:exactly! like i had this one friend who had MAJOR goss issue but only my how can i say this, a certain circle of friends only know it, she was like, i dont wanna make this a bigger deal so lets keep it between us all yk this group, BUT IM ME I want deals to be bigger, but ofc I gossed it to my other friend and turns out she already knows it because another gorl from the groupchat, that circle, has already told her, because they on the same circle, so im like ok thats cool, it was actually hilarious, because we laughed at it, and seriously i thought i was the first to break but no.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
:now lets talk abt loyalty thats something
:thats really something
:for you what does it mean to be loyal anyway?
:well, loyalty really depends on how they treat you and yk the treatment u get, for me if i see and know that ive basically crossed mountains, swam across oceans and eat dirt just to be a friend for you and youll just basically hurt me and treat me like fkng trash i dont know why i should be fkng loyal to you anymore
:that makes sense
:but, that doesnt mean i wont be your friend, its just that I will be finding other ppl to hang out with, talk to, and be more loyal to
:yeah,same with trust yk, cant mend something that can easily crush in to alot of peices, and think that a simple sorry can bring it back yk, its not just like that, yk, its not like microwaving cold food for u to eat warm, its not that simple.
:i agree totally.
:and if u let it like be like that, yk, u trust them like immediately after ur trust on them got broken, thats not healthy. really youll just get urself hurt again and again if u just trust them that quickly
:literally.
:ppl who really give their trust to other people like that really quick are fools, im sorry ik that sounds rude or smth, but ye, as humans we must have the ability to think "is this person a real friend?" yk we must think twice before trusting them that quick.
:absolutely. trusting someone is really really antagonizing thats why some have trust issues as they call it.
:at the end of the day, people are the ones at fault how they do shit, how they treat others, care for others in short theyll be the main reason why people hurt, hurt each other rather.
:that ends this episode.
:great
my mind is now unboggled till next time!

man i feel so bad for girls on social media oh my god.
i mean i have been through that situation (not to that extent but still) so i get where they're coming from and i do not blame them one bit. but it is just so disheartening and disgusting.
social media is SUCH a double edged sword in each and every aspect. i mean i get it onlyfans and other stuff that revolves around it gives you more control over your content, pricing yada yada, more people are reacting negatively to slut shaming which is for the better too, but it is just making teens and heck preteens think that they should act more 'adult' in the guise of empowerment.
it is skin crawling to think ab where exactly is feminism headed because on one hand more people are encouraging equality, but on the other, children on social media (getting exponentially younger) are exposed to this botched idea of feminism and sexuality and stuff. and if they're exposed to this shit at such a young age, obviously their perception of everything is going to be fucked too, you cant honestly blame them.
you can convince yourself wearing revealing clothing and posing in 'sensual' poses is 'liberating' to yourself, but yk that subconsciously you're trying to appear attractive and sought after. (talking about straight young girls.)
wait till you're 18 atleast oh god (although really, that too is not old enough imo but sure)
the only time i really dont give a fuck even if someone is walking in scraps is when you're financially independent, atleast for most of the part. accn to me that is when you're mature enough.
other than that all i feel is disgust (not at them but everything that moulded their mentality incl; obv media and most importantly, their parents).
a lot of them are children of ppl with generational wealth, so it makes it easier to pass around snarky comments. but they are just kids!! they are so so young and they're sexualising themselves and it is just worse because it clearly represents how negligent their parents are being.
i am not saying people from lower economic backgrounds dont go through this (possibly way worse even) but it is a fairly discussed topic. and it is easy to alienate the richer sects (and also this rant was elicited seeing the profiles of financially well off kids)
alright so apart from myself i personally know 2 other girls who were ruthlessly sexualised when we were fucking 11.
that was the point i had just started getting attention that went beyond platonic, and it was 99.9% degradingly sexual. and i just remember accepting and even feeding into it which is so utterly disgusting in hindsight.
i am sure they're more girls who were sucked into this but ik the other two girls because they were popular around school as they were more attractive than me and i was in the 'nerdier' group. and moreover they had public social media accounts with large followings so whatever i went through, it would have been a hundred times worse for them.
and i think it was same for them too- when you're young you notice that others sexualise you and you're 'expected' to be that way, so you start feeding into it yourself (at least thats what happened to me and i think it's common?)
also i should mention that i have had absolutely phenomenal female role models growing up that were in direct relation to me, so before all this my self identity was entirely based on intelligence and academics, i wasnt exposed to a lot of attention on social media, (always found that uncomfortable) and even when this stuff was going on, people who i was close to and i myself expected academic excellence from me (healthy amt of pressure) so a large part if my identity was still based on that.
what i mean to say is that although i dont know their upbringing (honestly idk shit ab them) i do realise it is extremely possible that they (and other girls) didn't have the same support system as me. and despite all the positives, i was irreversibly affected (a lot of issues, i still am working on resolving years later), i have no clue what the others went through.
ik one of them had negligent parents, because why the fuck would you agree to buy your 11 year old revealing clothes omg. and she still sexualises herself on social media, so i know it has affected her. (again, i dont blame her one bit.)
and though the way my parents handled this was way off than how they should've, but at least they cared enough to give a shit.
i just see legit children on social media being subjected to what i am sure is far worse scrutiny. and it is impossible for their parents to not be aware but they blatantly dont give a flying fuck.
i am not super active on ig but occasionally i come across profiles of 14-19 year olds and oh my god. they're headed down the same pathway i was at 11-14. sure they are older, but thats not even close to being old enough!!! and i think i came across as 'so above all that' and condescending even. but what i mean to say is ki i just feel so fucking disgusted seeing more and more girls feeling like they have to be 'sexy' in order to breathe.
also another thing that tipped the bucket for me was that i just came to the realisation that ALL of my male friends (trust me, a lot.) have sexualised me (and other women) moreover a grp of guys allegedly repeatedly joked ab g-raping me and my best friend, which i think, prevented me from completely being sucked into the rabbit hole of self fetishization and totally flipped off the romantic feelings switch for me. so i can see the others from more of a 'past experience' lense (?)
why are all 'empower yourselves' posts and stuff about being sexually liberated. i mean sure you should be comfortable sexually and more convos ab sex makes it a less hush hush, and safer topic. but let us focus on other shit too, yeah? looking pretty isnt the only thing that is going to empower you.
i am just so done oh my god.
#autopsy.#i have no clue what to think ab children being exposed to social media because on one hand social media is definitely making people more#accepting of other identities and i think it allows children of parents with a 'cult-ish' mindset to be more exposed to the reality of thin#but on the other hand there is SO much wrong with social media.

I wish i knew how i felt about myself as a gender.
Am i just a very feminine very masculine boy? And yes, emphasize on very. Not sure on how to really process it all either, i just have accepted in some ways ill act like stereotypical feminine trait or thought process or response(toxic or non) its very extreme. Like as if im not a boy and in some ways i notice myself being very masculine and to be overly masculine or to have a masculine thought process or respond (toxic or non)like damn bruh chill out( I AM CHILL) plays in my head fr. But most times i feel very in between were i just find a very calming peaceful basically enlightened feeling. I dont mean to say either or is evil or good, that doesn't apply to it because those are both necessities everyone should practice to some degree. We all should share traits of both feminine and masculine because certain situation will call for both but its in the execution of these that people fall short. My thing is just being able to know what it means that i feel certain ways and i gas light myself a lot out of things that i feel but I want to stop that. I wonder why im this way? I attribute it being raised by mainly my mom and sister as the start and also being consistently belittled, made fun of, pushed around by men or boys that i just chose to follow or be around girls, especially with friends and if i had friends that were boys they were usually getting picked on too or struggling in life. I remember getting called gay for thing's i did or do even nowadays and its like yeah you right b maybe i am gay but eh idk like yeah ik i can fall for a dude, but j feel like i can fall for anyone if i truly love them but like theres more to it than that like maybe i wasn't being gay, im just a girl ya know?a girl likes dude and girls or whoever? Like definitely a bad bitch? Like maybe??? I would love to grow my hair out, wear a dress and shave my legs and gossip with my other bitches and just be loud and outgoing and confident as a woman...not as me who is portrayed as a male in public or in a mans body, i would hateeee the way my current body fits in a dress out public and to try and cope with a new body where ive kinda just only accepted my own current way my body looks only for other issues to cope with pop up even making it worse...im pretty confused, it's like a transition just would be too much time and money and if i say that then maybe i dont mean it and im just doing my typical identity crisis shit

I’ve come across that persons blog before and they’re….something else lol they make like 50 blocklists a day but they’re completely useless bc they put t3rfs and f4scists on a blocklist with literally anyone who disagrees with them on anything no matter what. they have ‘people who think outdoor cats are okay’ on a blocklist with t3rfs (not saying outdoor cats are okay but come on that’s not anywhere near as bad as being a terf lol) and basically act like disagreeing with them on any random point no matter what it is makes you irredeemably problematic. on a positive note I doubt anyone’s using it as an actual blocklist bc it’s basically useless bc you can’t tell whether anyone on it is an actual bigot or just someone who pisses them off somehow lol
YES THANK U i scrolled their blog for a bit bc i was pissed off abt being put on a blocklist and wondering if i maybe was in the wrong but like. they get so mad over trivial stuff honestly it seems reallyyyy unhealthy
#asks#I DON'T GET WHY PEOPLE GET SO PRESSED ABOUT OUTDOOR CATS#my cats go outside bc we live somewhere with fields where they can go away from roads and they're neutered n stuff so#i get ppl having opinions on it but i promise you outside of tumblr it really isn't that deep#but yeah they put me and my friends on a list for us being 'exclusionists' which? absolutely has no basis??#and said smth like#'at this point i'm going to start assuming you're terfs' ????#most of us aren't cis and all extremely anti terf like if u bothered to check our blogs u would see that we continuously support trans women#but yeah i don't mean this unkindly but it seems this person has a lot of issues like. this is doing NOTHING to actually help trans people#in fact it's actively harming trans ppl because they're throwing us onto a blocklist w terfs for some reason?? like? yiiiikes#ALSO LIKE#ik i've posted vaguely anti pan stuff before but honestly i don't rlly care if ppl id as pan i just don't like when ppl say it's more-#progressive than bi yk like. i just think pan ppl should be careful of their language and definitions#bc a lot of pan positivity has biphobic undertones unfortunately#but fr if you bothered to interact w me like directly you would know that i rlly don't care if ppl are pan or ace like it doesn't concern me#i'm not an 'exclusionist' bc if part of ur identity is being against another group of ppl that's just cringe like wtf#and ppl suibaiting ppl just for identifying as pansexual are literally insane#ANYWAY. my point is they totally took what i said out of context#i said the 'delete that rb op is xyz' isn't terf exclusive. ppl use it for panphobes or aphobes or even like su fans or smth stupid#and they saw the word panphobic and ran with it😭 MY POINT WAS IT ISN'T A TERF SPECIFIC THINGGGG#but anyway idk maybe the original post was kinda appealing to terfs but. because i'm. not a terf. i wasn't thinking like that#i don't think like a terf so how tf am i supposed to know that would appeal to them 😭#ANYWAYS SORRY FOR THE RANT AGAIN fr tho that person is doing nothing for the lgbt community and they rlly need to relax

//I went from thinking abt "adult comforts child self" type arts to how Sa hasn't had a plushie/toy (if ever) of her own since she was a young child to realizing the reason (or rather a major reason) she prolly so deeply thinks a "normal"/happy life is beyond her is because it's specifically what she wants, and she hasn't GOTTEN to truly live for herself/prioritize her own wants etc at all and so has no idea HOW to accept such an idea [achieving happiness]
#mun babbles //#does this make sense this Should make sense#like yea all my muses have sliding scale of issues wrt identity & desire/pursuing it but like#sa has basically spent all her life focusing on/caretaking FOR others & doing so HAPPILY#so put her in a vacuum where she Cant do that and shes just Shrug fuck if ik what i want#idk just like fyifyfyiyiy#suffice to say her one consistent Want in life is to have a family of her own n tldr izumi curtis#aka CONTINUE TO BE a caretaker etc and like chffgf#even that Feels beyond her bc she feels she isnt worth it etc yk??
