#and we seriously need more of that

[marmota-b]

In case anyone still needs a Real Life proof of this statement, I give you:

Jaroslav Krsek aka Jerry Packard

Seriously I need more people to appreciate this man and his dad bod, he's been haunting me for at least five years now. (To clarify, this has nothing to do with ogling him. This has everything to do with admiring him as a human.)

He sadly died in a concentration camp. Because he joined the Czech anti-Nazi resistance pretty much the moment the country was occupied. Before that, he also:

was an excellent swimmer

could knock a guy out with a single punch

camped outdoors in -20°C

Dad bod is indeed a sign of success in the wild.

(Source of the above statements is the writer Bob Hurikán, real name Josef Peterka, who was friends with Packard and therefore observed him do all of the above. Except the statement about joining the resistance immediately, that was some other friend after the war. Photo link)

In line with coffee w my brother today, and while discussing the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie it came up that hopefully Hugh Jackman doesn't have to be shrink-wrap shredded I said "Dad bod is a sign of success in the wild" and a guy behind us gave me the thumbs up and a nod jguhfggfgggghjyyhhf

During an Overlord Meeting

Random Overlord: So how'd you bag the King of Hell?

Alastor: Well I-

Lucifer: The first time we met he told me to go fuck myself and dropped a piano on my head

Other Overlords: ...

Lucifer: I've been charmed by his audacity ever since

I have heard literally nobody talk about the maiamai and i think that's a crime so im doing my duty in fixing it

I ain't gonna lie, I do noooot think radblr is gonna come out of this Imane Khelif thing unscathed. Like, y'all, I'm sorry, but there is not enough evidence for some of y'all to confidently call this person male and say some of the stuff you've been saying. At the very least you have to acknowledge that Khelif did not compete against women with malicious intent.

The people of Gotham both fear and revere The Signal. As they do the rest of the Batfam but for Signal it's a bit different.

For starters, he's the only daytime hero. The other Bats usually only come out at night when the city is quieter. And while it's far from asleep, they prioritize stopping the numerous crimes that occur in the shadows. Civilian interactions far and few. Most pictures of them online seemed more like cryptid sightings than heroes soaring through Gotham skies.

The Signal on the other hand was the people's Bat. They got to see him soar through the sky, or ride his bike in all his golden glory. He gave autographs, took photos, and joined them on their daily commutes. He was a regular at mom-and-pop shops, made sure the troubled kids made it to school, and checked in on the sick and elderly. And while he did work with them when necessary, he mostly liked to fuck with the police, like a true Gothamite would.

All in all, he was the sweet sunshine that Gotham needed. He was far more human than the others. Not that he was human, oh heck no! NONE of the bats were human! But it felt that way. Until you were reminded that he was INDEED a Bat.

The way he merged and appeared out of the shadows despite his bright yellow suit, and moved without a sound. He knew about people and things before they happened. And had an intelligence that was absolutely terrifying when thought about. And the way he took care of crimes?

The Signal is cold, borderline brutal, and efficient (with commentary that leaves you agape and a chill down your spine) when dealing with criminals. It was always jarring to witness the sudden change from Gotham's sunshine boy to stone-cold Bat, and back again. It almost gave you whiplash to realize that this was the vigilante that you were talking to about your puppies a few moments ago. And it really instilled the Fear™ that that bats were known for.

The other Bats were terrifying, shadowy demons that moved through the night. Stopping crime in the darkness. Gotham knew and appreciated this. But the Signal? He was the bright light at the end of the tunnel and the warmth of the brilliant sun. But he was also...

"Death before detransition" as a rallying cry may feel good to repeat.

But ultimately I don't think it's helpful. The people who want you to detransition don't want you to exist. A dead trans person accomplishes their goals just fine.

Our goal is to survive. By any means necessary. Some people that will mean detransitioning for safety. It's soul crushing, but one day you'll have the opportunity to be yourself and you have to be here for it. Some people will have to go or remain stealth, severing any ties with their transness for their own safety. Two closets across the hall from each other each with their own challenges. But there is safety in the closet and you can survive in there despite the challenges.

Your only responsibility is to survive.

There are going to be visible trans people. People who can't or won't detransition for their own reasons. Or who have enough safety that they don't need to. Some who won't survive if they detransition and some who are staying visible so that they can be seen. To remind every we are here.

Fuck death. Your only goal is to survive by any means necessary. Your existence is resistance enough.

I debated with myself about it for a bit, but my heart wasn't in it. So.

To the fellow SFTH lovers, interact with the post to let me know you exist so I can give you a follow (need more of them in my dash) ❤️

Thank you!

still absolutely losing my mind over Lilia

[catcomixzstudios]

I can barely begin to express how much the course of my life has been altered because of a 40 minute highlight video done by @jelloapocalypse and friends riffing over a 20 year old sky pirate game.

I made an off-handed comment after watching it together with two of my longtime friends, about how much I wish I had what Vyrsa had, and one of those friends STRAIGHT-UP TELLS ME that her and her wife have been crushing on me for a while.

The feeling was mutual, though I'd been of course hesitant to even hint at it.

Anyway now a few months later, we're a thruple, and we decided to honor the genesis of our relationship by cosplaying as the trio that made it a reality for my 30th birthday!

PinkCatNinja, me (CatComixzStudios), and ArtieStokes as Aika, Vyce Vyrsa, and Fina respectively, from SKIES OF ARCADIA!

And as a bonus, a comment I left on the video before my egg would crack completely (was still IDing as genderfluid at the time)

A fierce duel commences!

[tortured-poet-of-thursday]

i lied, put your clothes back on. we’re going to watch dead poets society and i’m going to explain to you why acting is a metaphor for queerness and how it changes how we view neil’s interactions with his father and todd, as well as why it’s one of the reasons this fandom subsists.

They made Souta a chair for 97% of the movie because they knew we'd all pass away from his beauty if they didn't
