seeing some factually incorrect takes sooo

the reason that trans men* do not and will not have male privilege under the patriarchy is because trans men ARE NOT MEN under the patriarchy. SOCIETY DOES NOT VIEW TRANS MEN* AS MEN. People In Society may interact with Trans Men* in ways that seem to grant them male privilege. but that is only if they are steath or in a particularly progressive area.

THE PATRIARCHY VIEWS TRANS MEN* AS FAILED WOMEN. for fucks sake. the system giving out gender points doesnt give any trans* people any gender points. why are some people so desperate to be wrong.

anyway sorry for yelling peace and love to all my brothers + allies <3

What’s the worst thing Darry’s ever caught y’all doing?

worst accordin to who? Darry or the law? cause those are two DIFFERENT answers (yeah the laws more forgivin) hmm y'know? I think we should make Dar answer this one (yeah that's safer then I can be sure not to out myself for somethin he don't know yet HA)

Lemme take a look. Worst thing I've ever caught them doin'? Jesus, how long ya got. I'll save myself some trouble 'n give ya the worst thing I ever caught them all doin'. ('Cause if I give ya somethin' for each of 'em this letter'll be so damn long the post office'll charge me extra for fuckin' postage) I guess all together they can get up to some crazy ass schemes. Jesus, there was that time every last one of 'em was involved in breakin' into the office up at the school, stealin' test answers, copyin' 'em over, 'n sellin' 'em. But, glory, as pissed as I was I don't think that was the worst. Hmm, oh. Oh, I know. 'N you know what? I think I still have their fuckin' master plan around here somewhere. I'll let the little criminals tell you in their own words.

1.) find a drag outta town. probably like cross the river. (real confident start) (gimme a goddamn second)

2.) steve 'n soda can take the beater (hey don't talk about her like that) (can I get through one fuckin bullet point without the peanut gallery >:() johnny n dallas can take buck's car

3.) before the race steve n soda n johnny n dal gotta get into some kinda argument or fight or somethin. right where everyone can see. then when steve n soda get all pissed n storm off dal's gotta make some comment about how playing dirty or somethin (oh I know. look dal. you gotta say you got a can a the gas under the hood, ok?) (tf is that?) (nitrous oxide) (...I ain't askin any more questions)

4.) Two's gotta do some crowd work here. really convince em there's no way steve n soda are gonna walk outta this race really sell it (oh that won't be hard, have you seen Steve's car lately) (HEY)

5.) We gotta get all our money together 'n put it all on soda n steve (how much money do we even have yall?) (...) (ok maybe there's a flaw in the plan)

6.) make it close. like REAL close. n then Johnny you gotta spin out right near the end can ya do that? (oh yeah that ain't no problem) (hey how come steve n soda get to win?) (cause they look like they're gonna lose dal n that's half the con) (the con? whos been lettin the kid watch spy movies again) (steve do you want a cut or d'ya wanna keep runnin your MOUTH)

7.) Two gets the money n then we gotta BEAT it. QUICK.

So. That pretty much takes the cake. Or at least for the present moment. ('N if you're curious those sons of bitches managed to pull it off. They also managed to run into yours fuckin' truly. 'N let's just say it was a good thing they were too worried about bein' strung up to put any further thought into that.)

Before I get around to Moon 9 I'm gonna try and take some time to answer the asks that've been sitting in my inbox! I've been so hyperfixated on drawing comic pages, but I think now's a good time to start working on getting a few of those asks out. :)

I FORGOT TO POST IT THE MOMENT I GOT IT THANK YOOOOOUUUUUU 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I KNOW I ALREADY EXPRESSED MY INSANITY OVER THIS BUT I AM SAYING IT AGAIN I'M SOOOOO WEIRD ABOUT THIIIIISSSSS

I will never get over this Entire Scene. the balace if intimacy and care with horror and fear..... UGHHHH FANTASTIC!!!!!! they're so inseparable in makes me sick /pos. thank u for 1 million years ^_^

[nebulations]

heyy i saw you wrote an ID on a post that was "copied from ALT" and i was curious if there's something about alt-text that is less accessible ID-wise compared to the ID being in a reblog? i thought if there was a description in the ALT text that was accurate enough there would be no need for a written out ID in the post or reblogs? i'm asking you specifically because you seem to have a lot of experience with IDs so i think you're a reliable source for the answer to this question :,D

Hi anon, hope you're doing well!! Alt text isn't less accessible than plain text IDs by any measure, it's just a matter of competing access needs between low-vision folks, to my understanding. Alt text is made for screenreader users, but not everyone who needs IDs uses a screenreader, and plain text is simply preferred over alt by some. My personal practice for my blog is to ensure everything I post has a plain text ID, but there's nothing wrong with sticking just to alt! If anyone who uses IDs would like to chime in here, I'd appreciate your input!

Are we going to see demenica and 505 soon

highly unlikely, I don't care for anything other than Flug. Black Hat a little bit too.

Miss Heed perhaps? but I don't see enough in any other characters yet.

Masterpost for request status on Flug-unrelated things

I feel like atp I barely care for the canon cartoon at all, I just have a very strong fixation on Flug. I should really mention that. I have given up trying to stay in-character and basically use him like my OC. I would LIKE to move on and not be in fandom spaces anymore but sadly my autism does not let me. my brain just refuses; kicking and screaming; to be interested in a single other thing on earth than Flug since nearly 8 years.

it's insanity.

I have no NOTP or disliked dynamic, I will consume anything. paperlizard is cute. but it's a combination of me not being interested enough and others also not being interested enough so I feel it is not worth it to make this content rn. the fandom is ultra turbo dead.

I don't want massive attention -godspeed I don't- but an artist that doesn't get any response is a demotivated one. I know no one who is interested (enough) in these characters.

I would never make fanart of those characters alone¹, I couldn't get my unmedicated ADHD to focus on smth my heart doesn't 110% want to do from pure passion. I take no commissions, I don't draw for money.

you can basically expect to see one and the same thing for a decade straight from me

if I draw them in the future it will be heavily Flug-focused. HEAVILY.

(¹one exception is if a close friend of mine suddenly wants to see one of them)

so that's basically all you need to know! I don't consider myself a member of this fandom anymore since months

[electroniccollectiondonut]

I have not been in this fandom long enough to reasonably judge others' takes however. "EPIC fans are so silly to characterize odysseus as feeling guilty for his actions don't you know he's a war criminal" is definitely a wild one. like first of all to each their own so settle down and let people enjoy things ok. and secondly making choices with a bad outcome, even knowingly and deliberately, does not exclude the possibility of feeling bad about it later. in fact it makes for a much more in depth character because then you get to explore what he does or doesn't feel guilt over, and why, and if that guilt ever edges into regret or not.

still reeling from the crazy gay shit i watched tifa and aerith do yesterday

[antifathomable-shapeshifter]

If you manage to stop being so miserable without killing your worldview, please post about it I'd be curious what the secret is.

It'd be difficult for me to be a terf considering I am trans. Girlblogging probably feels adjacent to terfism because they are both misandrist (as am I), but the synergy just isn't there. Like, a coquette is "a woman who endeavors without sincere affection to gain the attention and admiration of men" it's not radfem style at all. Girlblogging is also an activity for miserable people, there isn't really content for angry nonsad women. Dead on about white women though, now way to beat that allegation.

But yeah, I can come in and say any manner of unhinged sounding things unprompted, get completely humiliated in an argument, and still feel good about myself afterwards <3

1) trans people can absolutely hold te.rf-like beliefs, and you are clearly 100% a ra.dfem, if nothing else. you literally call yourself a misad.rist. are you trans fem? it would be weirder if you werent but i dont know you so who knows.

2) they may not be te.rfs, but coq.uettes are still bioesstialist, and thats really what im complaining about in the post.

2.5) girl.bloggers do absolutely post about their fem.ale anger, that was what inspired my vent. i found their posts in the rage.core tag.

3) you are still very weird and i hope you arent doing to this to various people because thats just sad.

Hazel: “You… y–you heard enough, right? W-wouldn’t want to give you nightmares.”

Fenninkou: “I-I’m not scared!”

Back with Hazel and Fenninkou, the former finally stopped to catch her breath. Most notably, she chose a spot with plenty of shrubbery and shade, quite a ways from the well-traveled road.

Another thing most notable, that the scrawny Fenninkou could easily tell, being in her arms–Hazel was shaking.

The Rigtretoon was glancing to and fro as if worried they were being followed, and she was trembling.

Hazel: “Not yet, you aren’t.”

Rue: “Fenninkou… F-Fenninkou…”

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Rue shown from her left side, staring downwards with wide, teary eyes. Above her, taking up most of the image, is a gradient with the text in question; asks sent by anons. Rue's appearance is as described here. End ID ]

Rue: “Th-this is all my fault…”

Pikavee: “Rue, answer me…!”

It hadn’t held her form for very long. The two women had watched, horrified, as it quickly fell apart and became black sludge.

It still moved–it ballooned and bubbled, forming a round shape with blank eyes that shifted around and never quite stayed in one place. Sometimes extra eyes appeared; sometimes they disappeared.

Pikavee: “Wh-what’s going on? Why did it look like Fenninkou–”

Her fur tingled. The previous feeling of dread became fully realized.

Her life flashed before her eyes–but in reverse.

She saw herself and Rue in this same spot, surrounded by void shadows. She saw herself being attacked and swarmed. Rue would be lost in the chaos.

She saw herself lying on the ground, on the verge of fainting. It would end here–just before she was presumably finished off.

And with a blink and a gasp, she was back in reality.

Rue: “She’s gone, Pikavee… t-that’s the only way it could have…”

The Vuling trailed off. She was too distraught to explain her conclusion further.

Pikavee: “W-what–??”

Before Pikavee could question this, a headache briefly and severely flared, enough to stagger her. It only ebbed once she tried to calm herself down and steady her breathing, though it didn’t completely go away.

She came to just enough to notice movement on the void-matter’s surface. More of them were emerging.

The sight made the Twileon step away even more in fear. Instinct, foresight–whatever it was, it didn’t relent.

It told her to run.

@atlas--mothh Insane take 😭 I think Doran's failures are meant to illustrate the same thing Ned's are, that to seek justice in a fundamentally unjust system that rewards its greatest monsters is never going to work unless the system itself is reformed, not that the brown people should've shut up about their family being murdered and need to die because they have evil genes 😭😭😭

yeah lmao, this really is just another like "weird about Dorne" moment to me. I think the Ned comparison is particularly apt - obviously al of the patriarchs are in conversation with each other, but much more than the others, Ned and Doran are in conversation with each other. In many ways, they're both sort of the "best" you can expect from a patriarchal ruler and a lot of the story is about examining the massive flaws they have despite being the best fathers in the series. They both utterly fail their daughters, they both fail to prepare their sons. They are so stuck in their grief and fear that they wait and wait and wait until it's too late to do anything but die. they keep too much to themselves, refuse to lean on the support systems they have that want to help them, they both have this flaw of weaponizing patriarchal structures against the women in their lives while not using that structure to benefit themselves when they really fucking should. they both doom their own marriages because of the events of the rebellion. they are gentle, and kind, and hard, and compassionate, two of the only characters who come out against child killing while partaking in the child hostage system without examining the ways it is flawed. they try, so hard, but they fail before they've even started because they start too late.

but SOMEHOW. doran is doomed by his evil genes from 150 years ago and ned is doomed by his actual actions. um. no, not quite.

[existencebringsonlypain]

do you have any TOH neurodivergent HCs?

I mean. they're all ND to me. Luz with the obvious ADHD, but I'd also tack on autism, anxiety, and depression. Amity is autistic, from her father's side. Hunter I'd pin as autistic, and the clear PTSD, though that's an acquired trait. Maybe anxiety or depression as well, but those might just be symptoms of said PTSD. I also like the idea of him having BPD or another personality disorder, though I wouldn't say it's canon-based. Gus as autistic, maybe also ADHD. Willow actually seems pretty normal? Maybe depression.

Who else... I'm thinking Camila is also autistic and has anxiety. I really love the idea of Belos being autistic, but he channeled that into really horrible outlets. I think King is probably neurotypical and just a child. Eda has ADHD. That's pretty much it.

this is a lot of diagnosing, but hey, this is a very neurodivergent show

[dunmeshiminimumwage]

question for any and all the mods. Off the top of your head, weirdest fucking thing a customer has asked or said to you?

also, sorry about the cunty lion

well personally its a tie between two separate things that both happened on the same day. so this drunk guy walks up to me with his dog, asks if his friends can rent a boat for one lap around the lake and then be done. we only rent in 2 hour blocks and i tell him this. it takes maybe half an hour to do a lap around the lake at most. he shouldnt even really be renting a boat because hes drunk as hell. he says hell talk to his friends. he calls the shop phone 5 minutes later while im trying to do something else and asks again if he can rent a boat for a single lap. i point out again we only rent the boats in 2 hour blocks. and he puts me on hold for 5 minutes before wordlessly hanging up.

anyways later that day some lady drove up in a golfcart and asked for a lighter. we dont have any lighters. my coworker jokingly grabbed a blowtorch. which she took to light her cigarette before getting out of the golfcart and walking around on our beach

thanks for your condolences
