#can I just hug you anon?

[i3utterflyeffect]

cursor selkie sc (due to some unlikely plot contrivance) in god with a bag of groceries au would be so funny...bystanders watching god pass by with a bag of groceries, followed by tiny god with a packet of cookies. adorable.

i saw the ask that was saying jonelias hate was homophobic but wtgfs hate wasn’t lesbophobic and didn’t want to reblog it because i didn’t want to get involved in drama but. yikes.

the wtgfs thing- no, it is absolutely not lesbophobic to be more interested in the main characters than a side ship. that does not change the fact that misogyny and lesbophobia are a pervasive issue in popular and fandom culture. i feel like it’s possible to acknowledge that main wlw ships being ignored for a side mlm pairing is something that happens, and that’s bad, and it is also not inherently misogynistic to be less invested in a side wlw pairing.

the jonelias thing- yes, treating jonelias like some terrible morally reprehensible thing is silly, and no it’s not somehow inherently sexual. there are many darker/more questionable ships that are significantly more widely accepted, and not everybody is going to be interested in jmart. a lot of people like corruption arcs and would have found that to be more interesting. however, you cannot just call someone a bigot because they prefer the canon ship over your fanon interpretation. a lot of people aren’t going to like a ship like jonelias, for plenty of different reasons. maybe it doesn’t fit the way they see the characters, they would prefer jon regaining his humanity and healing in a healthy way, maybe they just don’t like it. that doesn’t make them inherently homophobic. you can disagree with someone and dislike their ships without it meaning they are a bad person.

the mean lesbian thing- i feel they missed the point here. the issue isn’t jonny writing women as mean lesbian stereotypes. none of the characters even have a canon sexuality beyond tim and jon liking multiple genders and jon being somewhere on the ace spectrum, and even those are vague. the issue is fandom stereotyping, seeing women in a terrible situation under pressure getting angry at a man and then deciding they must be mean man hating lesbians. seeing a man who has a sense of humor and is presumably bisexual and deciding he’s a flirty slut with the emotional capacity of a teaspoon. seeing a violent woman who cares for another woman and deciding she must be a masculine butch lesbian and other interpretations are somehow wrong. etc.

can we please all just acknowledge that nuance exists and differing opinions aren’t evil

"Jared is a great guy"

He never said such praising words to Misha at the panels. he just insulting him in the name of a joke.

https://twitter.com/FangasmSPN/status/1642567628118974464?s=19

That's actually hilarious. He doesn't need to say it because it's just clear how much he genuinely loves, respects and admires Misha. Actions speak louder than words.

Besides, it counts more how you talk about someone when they're not around than to their face, and if you're comfortable enough with someone to constantly joke with them and you both have that 100% comfortable and happy aura while doing it, it just means that you're very close to that person. Like, you would never jokingly insult a friend that you're not really close with because they may get offended, but you could even safely call your best friend stupid because you're both close enough to know you would never mean it literally, but only affectionately or as an inside joke.

That said, he speaks too. When Jensen was at the Con Crossroads 6 in Brighton last March with Daneel, they both couldn't stop talking about Misha during their panel (and Misha wasn't even present at that Con), like literally nobody even asked about Misha, but they both kept bringing him up in their replies, praising him for his charity work with Random Acts and talking about him (and Cas).

There are definitely hundreds of other examples I could bring but this is just one of the most recent ones that i can think of.

Like at the Jib11 Jensen said that "Daneel refers to Misha as her boyfriend", and then he added, "which is funny cause so do I" and then he genuinely laughed in a super sweet way (it was in one of his panels, i don't remember which one, you can see it on YouTube).

To sum up:

* They're literally friends *

[transmechanicus]

Kind of hard to ask as anon

But you doing ok?

Need to vent?

Hi very kind and thoughtful of you to ask, i am doing mmmmm suboptimal but i do not need to vent to a person per se, so much as i need to say absolutely insane shit in my tags and have everyone pretend not to see <3

[vintage-bentley]

Thank you for watching Wicked so we don't have to. I mean, the marketing is insane and I almost fell for the lesbian trap but I knew people were doing the most. But fighting over a man???? I'm never watching that shit

Sorry to disappoint but I didn’t watch the movie!! I watched a bootleg of the musical because I was considering seeing the movie, but felt like I should be familiar with the original musical first.

The marketing for the movie has been so insane though. The interview where the leads fall into the whole song and dance of “ohhhh nooo it’s not same sex love, it’s something DEEPER and BETTER and QUEER, and does this character like women? Well idk she just kinda likes whatever, she’s Fluid, isn’t that so inspiring, hope that helps xoxo”…that lost me. Just say they have a crush on each other and are bi or shut up. Acting like you can’t say two same sex characters have a crush on each other because their relationship “transcends” that is stupid and homophobic. Why does it need to “transcend” same sex love. Why is same sex love never enough.

Anyways. Yeah, there’s a penis creature who both of them have a crush on, and they both sing a song about “boohoo he likes her and not me” and then fight over him. Glinda tries to marry him, Elphaba ends up with him. Standard hettery. Nothing gay about it unless you’re desperate and decide that “these two women clearly have a deep connection but lol they can never be together and also there’s a man” is an amazing same sex love storyline.

i woke up in a depressed mood bc no one needed the trainee and i want to say where are you people? you are accused of a lack of taste.😔

the fandom HAS been fairly quiet about the trainee, hasn’t it????

i actually had the same thought yesterday when i had to hunt down a single gifset of the show in the tag, but i wasn’t sure if i simply wasn’t following the right people ;;;;;; it just feels weird to see my dash being so quiet about it, especially considering it’s an offgun show and it features a lot of artists people love (view and poon at the very least are current fan favorites)

i personally enjoyed these first two eps A LOT tbh, i think they did a great job setting up all the different characters and the dynamics between them, and not only it’s very interesting to see how a production company works, but the more administrative part of it (if we can call it like that) feels very realistic to me in a way that a lot of other office BLs don’t. like i’ve been ryan and i’ve been jane and i think both sides are very relatable because the director actually took the time to depict the different struggles in their current positions. also as someone who LOVES slow burn im really liking the pacing rn, it feels like they aren’t rushing into jane and ryan’s relationship but are letting their progress flow with the story, which i honestly appreciate a lot. last but not least the comedy is well incorporated into the show without being too much and the colors are POPPING

but you know, i think the first 2/3 episodes of a show are often like..the assessment stage, where people don’t engage as much with it because they’re trying to figure out if they actually like what they’re seeing, so hopefully now that the story has been put into gears the fandom will start being more active too!!!!

[napping-sapphic]

I wanna be held and comforted... a girlfriend sounds so nice, but I'm afraid I'd be too much of a bother or unstable or have too many problems with my chronic pain :(

Mmm i think a lot of people feel that way! And I also think it’s easier than you think for people to accept your flaws. It’s easy to get in your own head about it and like i do it all the time too but also i know it’s easy for me to love and work around my friends’ flaws so i think it’s only fair that i give them a chance to do it as well

[whereismyhat5678]

(hey, the requests are open??? if so, can we see Mr..stick giving burton some tiny-little tummy kisses/raspberries blows, pretty please?)

also wanted to say that your drawing style has changed a lot and you should be proud of what you have achieved! dude, you're a great dude and we love you. <)

(Should remind people I call Mr. Stick Samual so they won’t get confused 😅)

I GOT PUNCHED IN THE GUT WITH THAT LAST PART I SINCERELY THANK YOU-

No man, I really appreciate the words 💗💗 I think my art has improved a lot through the years (and even the months I’ve been on here!) so it really means a lot that people are noticing that as well. It really makes me want to cry bro, thank you so much TuT

[matan4il]

שלום! אני חזרתי לארצות הברית ביום חמישי, אבל אני ממש מתגעגע את ארץ ישראל… (אין לי שאלות, אני רק אוהב את ישראל!)

אווווווווו, נוני, איזה כיף שנהנית מאוד מהביקור.

הדבר הטוב בארץ ישראל זה שהיא לא הולכת לשום מקום. היא תחכה לביקור הבא שלך! ובינתיים, אני מאוז מזדהה עם האהבה הזו לארץ ישראל.

שולחת חיבוק גדול וחם! xoxox

[corrodedcoughin]

I was wondering if you saw that ask about Steve's character analysis from @steveharrington and how he's abandoned by the narrative, written very 2 dimensionally and never gets a follow up for his physical/ emotional/ mental trauma while all the other characters do. Lil fic idea where Steve and Eddie don't really know each other yet. It's maybe right before vecna, where the party somehow ends up at Steve's place for Hellfire where the older Hellfire members are still snide and bitter towards him, and something happens where Steve has to take of his shirt or something, and it's the first time everyone (maybe besides Robin) actually sees how physically scarred Steve is, and that maybe he really isn't emotionally okay either. (bc I am Sure that boy has SCARS even before the bats with everything he's been through)

I have seen it! It’s an incredible commentary that is far more coherent than I could ever hope to be, op explains their thoughts so well and really is a wonderful post (thank you op)

I’m firmly of the belief that Steve has capital s Scars. And the thought of the impact on him is heart shattering. Steve sitting at home on his own, getting changed in the dark but can feel the scarred skin under his fingers tips. His thoughts spiral. He’s been commodified his whole life, packaged up to be an ‘ideal’ and now he sees these imperfections and he’s scared. He’s terrified. What value does he hold now? Why would anyone bother with him now that he’s visually damaged and belongs at the back of the shelf. He cries. Cries so hard his head hurts and he can’t make it stop, travels down his head to his neck and shoulders as he sobs. Body wracked with it. After the first night he pushes it down, refuses to acknowledge it again, wants to pretend that things are okay when his thoughts lurk in the dark telling him he’s worthless.

So he puts on a face, and carries on. Avoids showing skin successfully for a good few months. Until there’s a Christmas party for everyone but the adults at Steve’s place and it’s fun and loud until Mike bumps into Erika who knocks into dustin who trips into Steve. Steve who was holding a mug of hot chocolate that is now covering him head to toe. It’s not even that hot but before he knows what’s happening Robin is whipping his jumper off ‘it might scald Steve! We need to check!’

He fights her but his reaction is delayed after the shock of the liquid hitting his skin. And that’s when everyone sees it, sees him. And the silence is deafening but he can’t stop them from seeing. Can’t stop them from knowing that he’s ruined and good for nothing and a disappointment so he tries to walk off, fighting the hot and angry tears threatening to spill. He won’t cry, he can’t, not again. He manages to take a step away but then Robin is hugging him, Dustin too. He drags air into his lungs. Not sure if what to do next but then he hears the party slowly start back up and he’s thankful, thinking he’ll get out of this one alive.

I have nothing cool and interesting to say right now except I rewatched S5 episode "Fathers and Sons" of TMNT 2003 and I once again am screaming about HOW CUTE THE BABY TURTLES ARE OH MY GOD. I don't even know what I love more—Donnie and Leo living their best lives in that hay crate, Mikey CONSTANTLY attaching himself to Splinter and even staying by his side as his bros go play tag, or Donnie mustering up all his strength to throw that big rock at the Bone Demon. THERE ARE TOO MANY CUTE SCENES!!

YOU’RE WRONG ANON, THAT IS A VERY COOL AND INTERESTING THING TO SAY

here’s some papa rat hugs <3

[cantevenbeachhere]

okay, bear with me, a lot of these made me curious so:

4

6

18

21

28

30

~☕👍

Ohhhhhh! Yes! Lots of questions, I love it! Thank you!

Okay okay, let’s go, dude!

4. what flower would you like to be given?

Ummm well, huh. That’s a good question. Okay not to sound cheesy, but if it’s like for romantic purposes, then I would want red roses and/or forget-me-nots. Both of those are really pretty.

But like, if it’s from a friend, then blue hydrangeas or sunflowers. Those are also super pretty, and they make me really happy.

6. say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non-physical).

Okay so that’s six things. *Holds up six fingers* Not three, but okay.

Ummm, so three physical: I think my eyes are pretty; I have the best hair; aaaaand I think I’ve got a great smile. Three non-physical…ummm okay well, I think I’ve got a good sense of humor. I’m a kind person. I hope so anyway. And ummm, I’m a pretty good strategist if I do say so myself.

18. do you still love stuffed animals?

Uh yeah! Who wouldn’t?

21. if you could tell your past self one thing, what would it be?

Huh. Well, uh, I guess I would tell past Ken that he’s Kenough as is…but he needs to learn what it means to be Ken. Not just Ken with Barbie but Ken.

Also that mint chocolate chip ice cream makes his tummy not feel good so don’t try it.

28. hugs or hand-holding?

I think this question meant to say hugs and hand-holding. But if I have to choose, then hugs.

30. what reminds you of home (doesn’t have to mean house… just things that remind you of the feeling of home)?

Home…hm. Home is sea air, the sound of laughter, stars overhead, the beat of my favorite song, the warmth of the sun, glitter, pink.

Soft asks to get to know people ☺️

[kakusu-shipping]

Imagine Mario and Luigi both run up to you and both kiss you on the cheeks. They planned this ^^

I actually imagine that's a very common thing they do?? Like the kiss their mama Mia at the same time usually, and the rest of the family when they were little. So it wouldn't be that surprising of affection for me either.. Depending on the context

I think the less sudden it is the more flustering it would be.

Surprise kiss attacks like when we were kids? Silly and giggly. Early morning Goodbye Have a Good Day send off kisses? Sweet, stim inducing. Slow each take one of my hands, walk slowly to either side and place a very gentle, drawn out tender kiss on either side? I am melting so very physically.

[pardonmydelays]

"not sure if that's a job for me tho, i was excited after my first day but now i am more like... confused? people are nice, which is great, but it's not exactly the kind of job i was looking for so idk. i may start looking for something else if nothing changes (i promised myself i'm not gonna stay if i don't like it cause i usually make this mistake & then i'm stuck in a place i fucking hate for 2+ years, not this time tho)."

*this is a different anon!* That's unfortunate, I'm sorry about that. It's okay if you don't want to or even can't, but may I ask what industry? And, is it retail again? I'm still on the job hunt myself, and I'm hoping to have a new job before May 31, 2024. That definitely sounds realistic, however, I need the hiring manager to believe in ME and give me a chance. I swear they won't regret hiring me. Ha. Anyways... is there an industry you're genuinely interested in and want to learn more about? Management skills are never a bad thing to pick up on and to your résumé! That's technically retail, but whatever, lol. I hope you're doing well!

(Once a BIG update (or more) happens to me, then I'll direct message you, by the way.)

~🌼

omg, hi! it's been a while! 🥺

so i don't want to give you any details, but long story short, it's an office job but you still have to talk to customers, just not face to face but through phone calls. i don't think it's right for me tho & i'm ready to quit any day now 😂 i don't even want any specific career, i just... don't want to talk to them anymore because i fucking hate them (after my 7-year experience i definitely know i wasn't born to be a customer assistant, they make me want to kill myself, i'm a depressed piece of shit & i blame them for that a little bit). the only job i actually liked was my first, in a bookstore (i had amazing team & i was working with something i truly loved), i miss it every day. but i am also very interested in just making money to survive, you know. i just don't want to feel so stressed every time i go there & so far i really feel like i want to throw up when i wake up in the morning & i barely even sleep at night. it sucks. i'm just really tired & i want to cry.

[stormyoceans]

how do you manage to enjoy things and not just be stressed about everything? like today was supposed to be a fun day but i did not enjoy it all because i was like so anxious... why am i incapable of just live in the moment and have fun with all the trailers this feels so unhealthy 😔 i really don't know what to do maybe i should step aside from social media and bls for a while? has this ever happened to you monica?

i definitely had LOTS of fun watching the GMMTV 2025 event live and im very excited for most of the series we've gotten but i do need you to know that today i've been an absolute MESS anon

like straight up if anyone thought that me saying 'shitting yelling crying shaking like a chihuaua in a snowstorm' was just a bit for the internet imma need y'all to think again. i mean yeah, okay, some stuff im obviously exaggerating, sadly i haven't learned how to levitate yet, but you know. most of it is actually true. at one point i was so worried about jimmysea not getting anything that i was genuinely feeling sick to my stomach

but at this point in life i know myself, i know i tend to feel and somatize (..is that the right word ;;;;;;) a lot, and i know when something is starting to get a bit unhealthy for me. i think getting very emotionally invested in something isn't necessarily bad, but what i always say is that watching QLs is a hobby, and as such it's supposed to make us feel happy and help us relax and unwind after a hard day. if this stops happening, and you start getting more negative feelings associated with it than positive, then i do think that maybe it's time to take a break

i do wonder if you're experiencing this with the QL world as a whole or if it was more limited to GMMTV 2025, because one thing i need you to know is that an event like this is not good for anxiety. there's so much anticipatory stress that builds up with every trailer that goes by, and so much uncertainty about what the outcome will look like, that it's very easy to get overwhelmed by it

so i think the most important thing is to try to question yourself and understand which factors are making you feel bad. for example, i tried so many times to be active on twitter, but that site just makes me feel bad, and the few times i still go on it to look for some jimmysea pictures i inevitably end up seeing something that upsets me or gives me anxiety and that sours my experience of watching QLs

so yeah i think understanding what's making you feel bad is very important to find a solution, and if you're gonna have to step away from one particular social media, or to watch something else for a while until everything stops being so overwhelming, i hope you know that it's okay and that there's not a wrong or a right way when it comes to this, just what makes us feel good or bad

aaaand this was so unnecessarily long so im gonna shut up now, but i do hope you're gonna feel better soon, anon!!!!
