Ye gods, the continued existence of billford antis in 2024 is so genuinely funny that I can't even be annoyed at them. Like, tri-sexuality won, babes. RIP to y'all tho, must be sad to hate fun so much.

interesting disability mindset development: i think my gaining a “proper” physical disability is making me realize that my anxiety is also very much a real disability that should be taken more seriously

You ever finish a drawing that you really like and then you spend the next three days randomly looking at it for minutes at a time like that could make it possible for you to absorb its alluring and magnetic essence with your eyes

i think i've talked before about how amazingly normal (and respectful) tesilid is towards Ailette for an OI male lead (ie. despite being utterly obsessed with her for aeons, he would never cross a line with her and would ask for consent), but i think we also need to give Reed credit for being pretty normal and respectful too. with regards to Ailette's consent, anyway. for all that he's a homicidal crazy guy trying to destroy the world.

he asks ailette to join him in the abyss and when she says no he's like aw okay, see you next time then <3 he offers ailette a chair and when she says no he doesn't force her. (tesilid doesn't get rights though). ailette goes i already said no i dont want to join you and he's like wait i can change your mind, and when he runs out of time he goes aww okay, i hope you change your mind next time though, ciao <3

like if it were any other OI ailette would be fighting off a confinement arc right now, but reed is just 😭 he just wants to chill with her.

If this post gets one like in the next idk like 15 mins I will actually follow a pattern to crochet and not just do what I want

Wait, they're making another one? Oh-kaaayyyy... Not holding my breath, but hopefully it's at least better than the $h!tshow that was the second movie. (Even if that "version" of Silver is still there.) If it's any consolation, I don't know how much Sega is involved with the Sonic movies, but if it's a good bit, then maybe they can help out! At the very least, there's this amazing comment under the reveal teaser. (GOLDEN ISLAND MENTIONED)

My not-entirely-serious take on the polyamory discourse that was on my dash... yesterday? The day before? Is that it would be greatly improved by people coining the concept of "monogamy+" in the same sense as "cis+".

(again please don't take this too seriously I haven't put that much thought into it, but I do think it would help make a clearer distinction between "examine your preferences (read: they are bad and you should feel bad)" vs "it's genuinely fine if the default works best for you but it might be better for both your own well being and how you treat others if you get there through deliberate choices (and in the case of relationships, clear communication) rather than simply assuming it as the only option").

kind of frustrating that people took "fat does not equal unhealthy" to mean "fat is not unhealthy." sometimes being obese IS unhealthy & excess fat can cause a lot of problems. ignoring health issues isn't progressive. real "oranges kill people with depression" moment

If your entire response to Pat talking about how BL shows are co-opting the queer identity is to say that one of the pairs is obviously 'really dating' then you are falling into exactly what he's talking about when it comes to these actors.

Now, is he wrong in some aspects? Yes. Literally, his ex-boyfriend is one of the actors and we know that there are queer actors in BLs and queer producers, directors and writers.

But what he's saying is what you're doing. Assuming that people are queer because of their actions that they are literally paid to do while on the circuit. This isn't the first acting pair that this assumption has been made about, they aren't the last and so far no one has been right or confirmed.

So.

Maybe don't play into what Pat is saying. Because I think the actor shipping is what he's specifically talking about and that's part of the issue with the way actors are talked about and treated and the commodification of the queer identity for these acting pairs.

I honestly find it fascinating to discuss how BL has become more and more about queer representation as it has grown but there's still the questions about fan service and talks about what that means but yeah.

I love this show because it's about perceptions and about what it means to be part of an identity and what representation truly means.

I am so much like my father it makes me lose my shit a little that I can never talk to him again

I keep seeing you taking about your fics may i enquire where you post such things?

Ah that's an interesting question.

I, uh, don't. Generally speaking.

Like rn the most my ao3 has is, like, 3 mlp short fics which I only posted because the mlp fandom has its own fanfic site and nobody reads mlp fic on ao3 because of that. And that's barely scratching the surface of all the fic I've written for mlp alone, which according to my writing doc, is currently sitting at a word count of 128k.

And with being in the mechanisms fandom I now currently have no irl friends who would be the ones to push me into posting my fic. Unfortunately the fics my irls have encouraged me to post in the past were on a separate, now deleted, blog (though this is the internet and I'm sure copies can still be found floating about because of reblogs).

I suppose I could try to work up the courage to publish some of my mechs stuff? If that's something people would be interested in?
