Yesterday I had 3 thoughts but I was like I'll remember tomorrow I won't wake up to type them now and I forgot two BUT I remembered one of them so that's huge

[uncanny-tranny]

The absolute biggest thing I've learned as a trans guy: there is nothing more masculine and manly than not caring about looking or acting masculine or manly. Growing your masculinity or manhood takes time and care - you have no obligation to let the world water your garden when you can do that just fine (and you can, even if it doesn't feel like you can!)

it’s a little frustrating sometimes to watch people try to “debunk” gay mike evidence by quibbling over things that are. kind of beside the point? like arguing that mike’s consistently negative (or even neutral, if you want the benefit of the doubt) reactions to girls aren’t “disgust” therefore they don’t mean anything. but like 1. yeah i agree, cates gate isn’t about mike being “disgusted.” mike’s face when el kisses him isn’t “disgusted.” mike’s reaction to el, to max, to girls in general doesn’t really read to me as “disgust” either. so 2. what DOES it read to you as? incredulity? confusion? discomfort? those…. still aren’t positive reactions.

the point is that mike actively and blatantly Does Not react positively toward el kissing him. and he also Doesn’t react positively to dustin’s description of a girl being “hotter than phoebe cates.” he asks “is she cute?” with maybe preemptive incredulity (in line with will's question "girls go to science camp?") over a girl who goes to science camp being cute, or perhaps just a neutrally curious state over dustin's new girlfriend, but then dustin doesn’t say “she’s hotter than phoebe cates.” he says, “think phoebe cates. only hotter.” that’s a prescriptive statement. you want to know if she’s cute, mike? think about phoebe cates, and then imagine someone hotter than that. and mike’s expression doesn’t improve in the slightest. think about someone hotter than phoebe cates, dustin tells mike. and mike? remains confused and entirely unintrigued. no, he’s not disgusted, but the point is not his negative reaction, it’s a complete lack of any sort of positive reaction. if he’s listening to dustin, he should have, in that moment, thought of phoebe cates. and his reaction?

nothing.

(but. this is also just to say... i don’t even think it's fair to call most of mike’s facial reactions “proof” of his sexuality in any argument… i think they’re fun little easter eggs that add an extra visual element to his gay characterization. but. it’s not WHY people think he’s gay. it's funny to point out BECAUSE he's gay)

[edit: AND this is not even to mention the direct line drawn to this in season four via stobin's discussion of fast times, linking phoebe cates to 'people who like boobies.' #notmikewheeler]

made a tierlist of my kuwagami fics for funsies (+ notes for a few) ↓

(everything listed in the same tier are equals, so the order they're listed in has no meaning)

[truegoist]

In a similar vein, since moving out, I miss hugs. Like holy fuck I want a hug so bad

[skrunksthatwunk]

not my dad not liking moral orel season 3 🤭🤭🤭that's so embarrassing for him (<- he's not wrong for feeling that way but i think it's like 60% because he doesn't like it when art gets weird and that's so so tragic for him)

[risingsunresistance]

hold on I was gonna write a tag about this but I wanna but the graph in here. if you have oral food sensitivities and also have pollen allergies (tree or grass pollen), there’s a pretty high possibility that you’re having a cross reaction to fruit, vegetables, or nuts from your pollen allergy. it’s generally an oral sensitivity (causes itchiness in the gums and on the tongue, and sometimes swelling of the gums if you’re having a strong reaction) and not a true allergy but it does improve your quality of life to cut down on stuff you react to. like you’re gonna be more comfortable and it’s nice to take care of yourself.

here’s a chart in swedish

birch pollen allergy may lead to cross reactions to:

nuts (hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, walnuts, cashews, almonds, etc.)

apples

pears

kiwi

stonefruits (peach, cherry, plums, nectarines, etc.)

root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, etc.)

celery

strawberries

mugwort pollen allergy may lead to cross reactions to:

celery

carrots

parsley and similar herbs

paprika/bell pepper

sunflower seeds

nutmeg

fennel

bananas

melon

grass pollen allergy may lead to cross reactions to:

onion

tomatoes

peas

beans

peanuts

these sensitivities may be of differing strengths and often with oral sensitivities you’ll be fine as long as the fruit or vegetable is cooked, for example I grew up unable to eat apples but could eat apple pie, apple sauce, apple juice, etc. op’s husband seems to be dealing with a genuine allergy though, in which case cooking often doesn’t make a difference depending on the strength of the allergy. if you’ve always felt averse towards a typical food bc it’s uncomfortable to eat you may have at the very least a sensitivity.

PSA: tomatoes are not spicy. Tomatoes and tomato products should not be spicy. Pizza sauce isn’t inherently spicy. Tomato-based pasta sauce is not spicy. Ketchup is NOT spicy.

If tomatoes are spicy, you have an allergy to tomatoes.

This announcement brought to you by my almost 29-year-old husband learning for the first time in his 2.8 decades of putting food products into his mouth that spaghetti and saucy pizza aren’t spicy foods
