one fun thing about being a trans woman is that if you ever try to talk about how something or someone has mistreated you or other trans women it literally doesn’t matter At All how much of a preamble you give or how much you try to clarify that you don’t hate transmascs or that white trans women are plenty capable of being racist, people will just blow past it all anyway to warp your plea for people to give a shit about and grow past their transmisogyny as a thinly veiled attack against whichever identity category of theirs makes you sound the worst

One of the most bizarre feelings imo is finding out about a prejudice you didn't know existed

Like. I only recently found out that there's areas IN MY OWN COUNTRY where discrimination against Italian people is a genuine problem

Like

I definitely know WHY I always assumed Racism was a prejudice more dependant on differences in skin colour but holy shit damn yeah okay so there's also ultraviolet racism too huh, we're all just drinking the shitty bitch water then

Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --

That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:

This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:

These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.

Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.

How do I put a filter on my posts that stop anarchists from scolding me about the labor movement in the notes unless they are an active member of a trade union

also more codelyokoposting but I really really dig XANA as a villain. It's not a person with a complex background that led them down the path of evil, it's not a morally grey character you sympathize with but condemn. It's a powerful AI capable of controlling almost anything in the real world. It doesn't have a face or a body, we only know it for its symbol and for the monsters it controls in the virtual world. It's willing not just to kill people through various methods (poisoning, drowning, car crash, fucking space lasers too?) but also Earth as a whole (it tried to blow up a NUCLEAR PLANT and crash two trains with toxic chemicals in them). And we don't even know why it does this, at least not for now. It may not even have a particular reason, just some sort of virus or malware in the form of an AI that seeks nothing but destruction without any goals in mind. This "pure evil" characteristic doesn't come off as childish, like in some children cartoons, it's just kind of scary to think that such an incomprehensible and destructive force exists, almost feels like a natural disaster

Feeling wistful feelings over the fact that the form of Ahiru the majority of us viewers end up loving and rooting for the most (girl Ahiru) is also the most illusive and unreal of the three

What if I wrote the world's most specific crossover fic that nobody else would care about. What then

I'll never smile again...

I drew this wirh my finger on my phone in an hour at 2 AM when i couldn't sleep. In complete darkness and silence. because the Ruined Reality parasite is slowly worming its way back into my mind (i blame my friends entirely) and the concepts presented are too crushing to not create something off of

Anyway Light fighting with Cliff's pickaxe destroyed me

@ambeauty and I were curious in a conversation about what made carmy basically FREAK OUT after sleeping with Claire. I just had a thought that maybe the jeremy was right because Claire scared the shit out of him and she's so great, and, in the end, Syd brought him back to realize it was a good thing. But that was the kicker. He could have used Mikey's words to let it rip if Claire was so great it scared him. He always used that when he was afraid.

So, he’s sitting there, thinking about how Sydney told him he was excellent and wonders why he’s back home, you know, where Claire and the family are. The idea of Sydney coming back and saying “What are you doing here?” actually calms him down a bit, like everything changed, and Syd is the now the reason he's there?

Claire is so great and joyful that it scares him so he needs Sydney to ground him and claire is the peace. Doesn't make sense, you know?

this is for all of you who saw two (2) seconds of the thunderbolts* trailer, where john walker is sitting next to his healthy, safe baby in a crib looking at his phone and decided that means he's a neglectful awful parent

the problem with paralleling the nsbu finale is that i have to attempt to figure out how to make sense of whatever the fuck happened in the nsbu finale

[thebirdandhersong]

lads it is mostly my fault (was sick, didn't tell healthcare until it was Dire, was sentenced to bed rest for the rest of my time at camp) that I literally can't say goodbye to these 100+ people I've come to love properly before I leave. I'm not permitted to participate in any singing, dancing, communal joy, any event that's remotely fun (that's nearly word for word what they said) here at camp. and I'm leaving EARLY, am still miserably sick, and have a four hour commute back home on top of that, because there's no one available to drive. literally cried my eyes out over everything just now and am This Close to crying my eyes out againnnnn

So first and foremost I'm obsessed with the cannibal!Hoffman au because I think it's edgy and cool and hot and fits his vibe, but it's also really funny to think about how that would have even started for him??

Like in my mind, maybe he always liked the taste of blood as a kid, and then when he started apprenticing John sent him to do clean-up work at some of the traps and the second he entered the room he was just hit with waves of the scent of blood and viscera and was like. Huh. I wonder.

Smash cut to Hoffman arguing to himself that first and foremost, meat is meat and it would just rot anyways, and actually it's an EXCELLENT way to dispose of evidence (and a cheaper one at that than having to waste all that precious money on gasoline), and, hey, he's always liked cooking, this is a great way to get back into a hobby--
