#but he's great

[sadlynotthevoid]

I love Hiyori.

He's so funny. Because you have all this hella smart characters with high comprehension of people behaviour who spend day and night schemming.

And then there's him.

He's smart, a social butterfly, a great detective and rich. And he's not going to waste his time playing plotting games.

It's like he pulled Mr. Crocker's power roulette and it fell in "a secret third thing".

Martyrs what? Heroes what? Villains what?

Nah, he'd rather use his powers for selling lettuce.

god sayid is so fucking hot.

I love how physical Imari is at the table. Whatever he's doing and whether he's succeeding or failing he's throwing his body into it

I would just like to say the best part of my day today was getting headpats from a senior on my bus

I would like to also add another subspecies, the Steve, who is some random cishet guy someone found on the street and he's a little weird but he's super chill with everyone else being queer and he's pretty funny when you get to know him so you keep him around. He's probably way into computer science.

I have one of these in real life, he's my favorite coworker and he is (hilariously) also the Steve for several separate discord and minecraft servers with no overlapping members, none of which I am a part of.

I once asked him what he thought of this phenomenon and he just said "idk man I just keep making friends with people and then it turns out that they and the rest of their friend group are gay or trans"

He asks me for girl advice (though I am incredibly unhelpful, being the useless lesbian that I am) and likes sending me pictures of fish. He once asked if me if I wanted him to set me up with a girl in his "everybody here is trans but Steve" minecraft server just cause he thought we had similar senses of humor (even though she lives on the other side of the country).

great dude, highly recommend getting yourself a Steve.

I'm kind of at a point where the "queer spaces" i feel safest in are the ones that have a pet cishet dude or two hanging around

[narwhalsarefalling]

my (cis) brother is using my old license to buy wine and it has the gender marker F on there. so whenever he gets asked he just says “oh i’m trans”. its literally worked every single time.

Tell me you know nothing about history without telling me you know nothing about history

For about 6 years now I've had a running gag with one of my cousins where, once every like 6 months or so, I'll find a way to insert a certain mental image into the conversation. The mental image is "a pile of toilets in an elevator, which closes and then goes up." I do this as naturally as possible. I'll construct an entire scripted conversation path with the express intention of leading into an opportunity for me to say "a pile of toilets in an elevator, which closes and then goes up." I have talked other people who aren't me into integrating the phrase into their conversations with him just once. He fucking hates it. He has threatened to kill me about it. I let so much time pass between instances that he never sees it coming. Because he knows that the only way to see it coming is to integrate into his brain the expectation that at any point, any conversation may suddenly turn out to be a toilet-elevator trap. And that's a fucking insane way to live.

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.

but seriously i do find it so funny that ford was like OH GOD MY PRECIOUS REPUTATION after bill possessed him around other people for all of one night

and then he gets back to this dimension after thirty years and this is now the photo the press associates with his name

[claudiadpdl]

whoever made the decision to cast jacob anderson as louis dpdl struck fucking gold and i mean that. not only is he a phenomenal actor but every time i look at his beautiful face i too realize that i would do utterly deranged, fucking unhinged shit to keep him in my life forever. at the end of the day lestat and armand and everyone else need not explain a damn thing.

I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

I think it’s hilarious how Tim Drake sounds like someone’s self insert but he’s not.

This kid met Dick when he was super young, remembered it so vividly that he recognized his acrobatics in Robin (while he was stalking both Robin and Batman without them knowing), and realized Dick is Robin and Bruce is Batman. Then he keeps it a secret for years until Jason dies and he goes up to Bruce and convinces him that he should let Tim be Robin. AND IT WORKS. Then when he’s sent to go train he catches the eyes of freaking Lady Shiva and she trains him because she thinks he might be able to kill her eventually. Then he’s sent back to Batman and he is a fantastic Robin for a long time.

That literally sounds like fanfiction, but he is very real and very loved. Just shows no matter how self indulgent a story might sound, you should still write it anyways because it CAN be good.
