okay yeah actually i feel like it is fair for joel not to have shared everything with reader bc like ppl have said it’s only been a month (i completely forgot, it almost seems like longer) so he’s not obligated to tell her about sarah but still he didn’t need to act the way he did to reader he could’ve been more polite about it 😬when he heard her crying over the shells tho :( lmao and when he was like 😧 when she threw away the rest of the pieces in the plane. sir she’s moved onnnn already get with the program

She was over his shit the minute he said (pretty much, kinda sorta implied) he didn't trust her with his secrets. And Joel took way too long to catch up and realize he should have handled it way differently.

But never fear! We still have chapter ten and an epilogue to see what I put these two through.

as a fan of the space race and the large financial black hole of musks pockets that is space X I am deeply saddened to know that I wont get any more funny haha penis rocket explosions for the next year as elons famous "rapid unscheduled dissasembly" rockets are taken of the market

elons' rockets have been environmental disasters for the land, animals, and people that the toxic chunks rain down on, and his money has been made through deeply unethical financial exploitation over a lot of markets that were made measurably worse by his participation.

also, a shit ton of the funding is from the american military industrial complex, because they want to use the technology to make better drones and missiles to kill more people more often. even if everything actually went to plan and he was able to get people to mars alive, the mars settlement project will involve generations of indentured service workers dying of radiation poisoning in sealed little bunkers on another planet while rich tourists fuck around for funsies.

it's extremely funny that the rockets go boom, but the best case scenario is he never gets to fire another one ever, dies very soon, and his assets are chopped up by competitors who never again recreate any of his work.

Breeding as a concept? Amazing

Mentions of breeding/getting pregnant during dirty talk? Outstanding

Real life pregnancy? No. Horrifying. Never. Hard pass. Worst thing imaginable.

imagine traumadumping at someone you just met unprompted, making fun of them for having a phobia and sending them content with the intent to trigger that phobia, and repeatedly cycling through randomly softblocking and re-following them like every other week because you apparently can't decide if you want to be mutuals with them or not. and then when they've finally had enough and hardblock you, you send them this shit from an alt account, and hardblock them right after so they can't respond.

@phosphorguts what the hell is actually wrong with you. you do not get to treat me that way and then assert that i blocked you because of some insatiable impulse to destroy all my personal relationships and not as a measure to protect myself from behaviour that was harming me. the fact of the matter is, i didn't "burn my bridge" with you because we never had a bridge to begin with. what you had with me wasn't a friendship, but a one-sided parasocial obsession turned vendetta when i didn't end up meeting whatever preconceived expectations you had of me. i had a total of maybe three conversations with you and in every single one of them you exhibited glaring red flags. all it took was a handful of surface-level interactions with you for me to see what kind of person you are, and the kind of person you are is decidedly not the kind of person i have the energy or patience to put up with, and i am NOT a villain for acting in accordance with that. and sending a message like this to a person with bpd and c-ptsd who frequently posts about how their biggest insecurity is losing people they love was really the icing on the fucking cake. you are fucked right up and i'm glad i blocked you because if this is how you feel comfortable treating acquaintances i'd hate to know how you'd treat me if i was your friend.

I'm stressing about the US elections. And I'm not even there.

I cannot possibly overstate the importance of voting for Kamala Harris. If you guys fumble this, it's over.

And it will have catastrophic consequences for all of us.

I can't believe this is even a fucking debate.

Why on fuck's green earth are there people discouraging others from voting Kamala? I'm actually laughing in despair.

Are we really going to discuss Kamala's faults when your only other option is motherfucking goddamn Donald Trump?

What do you not understand about how racist, sexist, homophobic, narcissistic, disgusting that convicted felon is?

Do you want him anywhere near office?

No?

Then shut the fuck up.

Edit: Coming back a few days later, I feel it's important to clarify that discussing Kamala's faults, contrary to how I came off in the above post, is okay.

I honestly didn't realize how much I made it seem as if saying anything remotely critical of her is some kind of crime.

What I actually take issue with is the people who criticize her while coming from a "don't vote for her" perspective.

She is not beyond criticism.

But if Trump makes it then both the people who live in the US and the people who are fighting for their lives in Palestine will all be a trillion times worse off.

Not to mention any possible ripple effects his potential election will have to the rest of us.

Also, a friendly reminder that "I'm not voting" is an incredibly privileged take.

Remus discovered his sexuality by spending a lovely summer with a wonderful openly queer boy who quickly became one of his best friends, his confidant and his life-time support afterwards, not to mention his lover for most of his life.

Meanwhile, in the exact same summer, Sirius got his sexuality brutally torn from the deepest pits of his own mind by his abusive, homophobic mother before he could even realize it fully, then got beaten senseless for it and hurt by his own family to the point of almost bleeding out.

I think about this daily and y’all are not thinking about it enough.

…can’t believe i need to say this in 2024, but if you see a tumblr blog that’s an obvious sockpuppet, just block them. don’t give them any attention.

for those who weren’t aware, a sockpuppet is an account that someone uses to pretend to be someone they aren't, usually for the sake of accomplishing a particular goal. "asexual" sockpuppets were used extensively in tumblr's ace discourse years (which reached their peak in 2016-2019). aphobes and exclusionists made blogs where they roleplayed as exaggerated aspec caricatures, trying to paint asexuals as childish, ignorant, bigoted, etc - in a word, "cringey." crazey-acey-in-spacey was an especially notorious example of a sockpuppet that a lot of people took at face value, since their deliberately outrageous behavior (falsely) confirmed a lot of the biases tumblr users already had about aspecs. it's NEVER worth engaging with any of these accounts - don't feed the trolls, as they used to say.

ways to spot an "asexual" sockpuppet:

makes a lot of statements that are intentionally tone-deaf and offensive. especially look out for sudden mentions of race/analogies to racism ("ace genocide," "ace reparations") - a common tactic in the acecourse days was to paint asexuality as a "white" orientation, and to suggest asexuals were racist.

references other infamous sockpuppets like crazy-acey and the "warm milk aceggot" post.

makes claims about famous people being aspec, especially people who are known for bigoted beliefs. it was very common for aphobes to make asexual moodboards of people like thatcher or trump; they did this to paint aspecs as out of touch with reality and the wider queer community, and to strengthen the association between asexuality and bigotry.

use of the words "acey" or "asexy." some people do use these words in a positive sense now, but anti-aspec shit-stirrers used them a lot back in the day to imply asexuals were stupid and childish. (and if we're being honest? autistic, too. the aphobic parts of tumblr had a VERY strong undercurrent of ableism.)

this one's a bit less common, but watch out for references to christianity. one widespread aphobic talking point is calling asexuals "puritans" and suggesting that they're aligned more with conservative christianity than the rest of the queer community. aspec christians certainly exist, but given the history of this site, it's just better to double-check aspec accounts that bring up christianity out of the blue when they're engaging with other blogs.

it can be hard to tell the difference between a sockpuppet and a genuine aspec account if you don't have the exact same amount of 2016 tumblr brainrot as me, so feel free to message me and ask about anything you're not sure about - my dms are always open 👍

Vasco is now voiced by Christian Bale in my mind. Cuz of Howl.

I've never watched any of the Ghibli films with their English dubs, so I went to take a quick look and got such a massive whiplash I thought I was going to pass out on the spot. I like Christian Bale but I don't know how to feel about his voice coming out of Howl's mouth, he sounds like a rugged, perpetually annoyed American action star :'>

I personally tend to think Vasco would sound like the singer Hozier. Not necessarily his singing voice but how he comes across in interviews. Warm, smooth, earthy and friendly.

I don't care how angry you are, but you must never ever attack someone with personal stuff they shared with you and trusted you with when you were on good terms. Or spread it somewhere for everyone to see.

I've decided to go for move in ready houses for homes in Ender Falls. If not, then it would never get finished because I could not furnish that many houses. I've put down some of my older houses and am going to building up some new ones, this is one of the new ones!

Hi! I'm going to be taking $10 emergency commissions. They will be icons and look like this: (pictures below). I take PayPal only. It's $10 for flat color (no shading, like the girl with hearts and all pink.) And $20 for shading and lighting along with color. (Like the girl with dark hair and pink clothing!)

The emergency is I have to move and don't have quite enough to move into an apartment just yet and I'm not sure if I'll get the paycheck I need from my job before I have to be out of the place I'm in now.

Anything is appreciated. My PayPal is @iriCAPIRI and I can only take that form of payment as cash app has royally screwed me over and refuses to fix itself. I might eventually also make a Ko-Fi which would definitely help with done light donations if anyone wanted to try that. I would also doodle/draw something for you too if you did donate anything on Ko-Fi!

Thank you! 💗💗💗
