It’s like they cannot even comprehend other people not perceiving them the way they want to be perceived. To the point being perceived as what they physically are in the first place seems ridiculous to them

[lesbianfakir]

Something that is an example of good character writing in Princess Tutu is how Fakir and Duck have little incompatibilities in their personalities (you know. Beyond the obvious). It makes it a little harder for them to get along and understand one another but you get the sense that they’re both putting the effort in. It’s sweet and it makes the relationship feel all the more real.

Fakir is serious, blunt, and he doesn’t sugarcoat things. His words often come across as harsh, even when there’s real care behind them. As a result, Duck—who reads his tone but not always the intentions behind it—doesn’t always pick up on when he’s doing something nice for her. For example, when Duck starts to tell Mytho she’s Princess Tutu, Fakir startles her to interrupt her, causing her to turn back into a duck. She takes offense and only later realizes he did it so she wouldn’t reveal her identity to mytho before she was ready (and even then I don’t think she picks up on the full extent of it). There’s another scene where he tells her point blank if she doesn’t want to fight the raven she needs to stop being princess tutu. It comes across as quite harsh and seems to visibly sadden Duck, though he cares about her deeply and is only trying to keep her safe.

The other “incompatibility” that comes to mind is how Fakir is sensitive and easily offended while Duck tends to blurt out whatever’s on her mind. While there are many scenes where he does get upset (take the scene in the Wandering Knight where he takes her request to stop getting in fights as an attack on his character), there are just as many where he doesn’t take the bait. Watch the show a few times and you’ll notice Fakir has a habit of going silent when Duck says something insensitive. He waits for her to finish speaking and he either ignores her or moves on. In those moments, you can feel the conscious effort he’s making to not lash out. Duck’s earnest naïveté is part of why draws him to her but at the same time it causes friction between then when she’s overly hopeful about something delicate to him, like his writing.

Anyways tldr; Fakir tends to hide what he’s feeling and thinking behind a deadpan demeanor, which sometimes obscures his true intentions from Duck. Meanwhile Duck tends to trample over the things Fakir is sensitive about in conversation, and he often has to stop himself from getting upset. In these moments you see how these characters may not completely understand each other but they care about each other a lot and actively work to smooth out their differences. Also it’s very cute when Duck realizes after the fact Fakir did something nice for her and her face lights up.

These little quirks make room for natural misunderstandings between the characters. Honestly, I like how Princess Tutu doesn’t smooth out compatibility issues or completely rewrite Fakir’s character when he and Duck become friends. The same flaws and tendencies are present, we just see the characters taking more active, conscious steps towards getting along.

If you want to be bothered. Maybe this for dick and Bruce???

i ALWAYS want to be bothered these are always the highlight of my day tbh you're a delight for letting me just yap <3

Dick. For the canon isn't real square I am Specifically talking about the Tom Taylor Nightwing run. Usually I ignore bad runs but given this one is ongoing (though about to end THANK GOD and get replaced by Dan Watters who i have high hopes for since i adored his Sword of Azrael (2022) run but i digress) so I counted it. Especially since it's so debated if that run is bad or not, for some reason. I'm a 90s Nightwing truther. I love Dick so dearly and tbh recently I've been more enamored with him the more I read his Discowing era, I didn't used to be as big of a Dick stan as I am these days.

Bruce. Honestly where do you even start with Bruce. I want to fist fight him and also patch him up. He got me into comics and superheroes as a whole but I roll my eyes whenever he shows up in a story. He's a bastard and usually not a good father but also complex and should be dissected under a magnifying glass. I love him dearly. He's also just the worst. I think that's why I love him. I'm always a fan of unabashedly Complicated Asshole Bruce who's generally not always the best person, particularly not to the Batfamily and that being the driving force of his relationships with them, especially in shipping.

And for bonus points, Tim. Because know above all else, I'm a Tim Drake kinnie /deg. He's been my number one for a decade and I've yet to uproot him from my brain. He's literally the Worst half the time and I love him for it. And the canon isn't real refers to Tim Drake: Robin because... that sure was a comic. And that's about all I can say about it. Pre-Flashpoint Tim I miss you so dearly. I think it's fun that I want to put him in a blender and drink the juice but also want Nothing Ever to happen to him.

you fuckin idiot, there are more hermaphroditic members of snails, coral reefs, bugs, and even lions from the savannah, can trans their gender.

Lions cannot "trans their gender" because lions do not have the human concept of gender nor transition.

I know exactly what you're referring to and it's the FEMALE lions that have grown manes despite being female. This is explicitly a FEMALE lion with a hormonal imbalance, likely naturally increased testosterone, that has caused the abnormal growth of a mane.

"Molecular testing aimed at examining chromosomes – the genetic material which determines sex – has revealed that Mmamoriri is genetically a female, despite her masculine features."

(Mmamoriri hunting with her pride, using her extra strength to secure kills.)

Whatever reasons there are behind these lionesses growing manes and having larger builds, whether it's a genetic cause, an exposure to androgens in utero, etc, it doesn't make them anything other than female. They are not "nonbinary" or "transmasc" lions. They are female lions who have grown manes and occasionally have bigger builds. It's similar to women who are naturally bigger or naturally have more body/facial hair (or even women who have PCOS). Having these variations does not change that they are female. If anything, the closest approximation these lionesses have to something in our culture would be butch lesbians (Mmamoriri and others like her have been seen humping other female lionesses). Not a direct 1:1, but if you want to compare these lionesses to something it would be butch or gnc women.

Once again you guys show how fucking regressive and sexist you are by claiming that a masculine female lion is somehow a "trans" lion. Seeing a stronger bigger female and saying that she has "trans vibes" bc she isnt "womanly" enough is conservative level sexism. Both of you love gender roles and gender presentation and can't function without it. You just differ in what boxes you try to shove gnc people in.

I won't touch on the stupidity of you bringing up snails, coral fucking reefs (seriously), and bugs because they aren't fucking mammals. And other people have already talked about such comparisons (clown fish, etc) at length in other posts. When I find them I will edit and link back.

Just as a light reminder tommy has said he’s uncomfortable being depicted in dresses and skirts a few times

Oh my god can you people fuck off now

Last thing im gonna say about The Discourse before I fully move on:

But if someone else misinterprets your art or post to be something it isnt (esp if its in a VERY negative and dangerous way), that is nobody's fault but theirs and theirs alone. You are not responsible for how other people see you, esp if they already have their minds made up about something

[tj-crochets]

Work's being absolutely ridiculous, so please send me quilt or plushie ideas! Puns and pride flags are bonuses but not required, I'm looking for anything like color combos, patterns, suggestions that are more vibe-based than specific color combo based, anything

It's sorta difficult to figure out what level of detail I have to remove in order to anonymize my job, but basically two of the other people who do my job are out, so I'm helping cover for them, but one of their contractors turned in paperwork showing three different dates for when he did [job that should have only taken one day]. I ended up having to call the customer and ask when our contractor did [job]. Thankfully the customer found it a little funny and was willing to answer, but I hate cold-calling customers to tell them our contractors can't do paperwork correctly and we need their help to fix it

[thalialunacy]

Look, I get that it's Tumblr and it's anonymous and it's fun to reblog stuff that gives emotions but holy lord

Please, please fact-check anyway.

[bipolbur]

[strawberry-cowmilk]

Hi! I absolutely love the way you write!

For the Kiss Prompts game, could you do 7 for Jean Kirstein? 👉👈😚

THIS IS A PERFECT PROMPT FOR JEAN?? I tried so hard to steer away from the classic "shut up" / "make me" but I think that's the undercurrent hehe

“a kiss…to shut them up.”

“Shut up,” you say yet again to Jean Kirstein with a giggle, and yet again, he only speaks louder. “It’s three in the morning, please, for the love of –”

“Oh?” he says, and pulls himself up on an elbow to grin down at you. His words are tinging with laughter, each syllable rising and stressed. “It’s three? In the morning? Then you should be sleeping, hmm?"

He reaches out and makes to tickle your waist. You squirm in the sheets, hips twisting away in that instinctual panic to avoid the touch, the “no” coming out of you long, drawn out. A little louder than you would have liked.

“Shh,” Jean says in mock admonishment, and puts the offending finger to his lips. “You’re so loud. People are trying to sleep.”

“Shut up,” you say.

Jean tosses his hair back. His laugh reverberates, and you think for half a moment of pulling the covers over your head to hide a grin. But it would hide your view of him as well, with his back to the window striking pale light to his features, with the blanket slipping over his hip, the strong cut of his jawline peppered with rough stubble.

You find yourself reaching up, a finger tracing over the texture. Jean dips his head, the grin falling softly, just as your eyes travel down to the pretty pale pink curve. Breath hitches through his nose.

“Maybe you need to be shut up,” you say, and Jean arches his shoulder over yours as he bends his neck to share a kiss. The silence wraps you both in comfort.

Lmaoo they make it sound like I’m out here doxxing, harassing or threatening people when the extent of what I do is literally just ‘look at this bad take that is the product of gender ideology’

[ganondoodle]

just after i crawled my way out of that 'art-low' and i got myself excited to work on the rough draft for chapter2- i suddendly just crash and burn again bc i cant get the thought out of my head that im not a good writer either actually and my ideas are comically boring

do i really have to fight my own brain over and over again for the rest of my life (ㆆ_ㆆ)

[chemzee]

I already told this particular opinion before but gonna post it here too.

Terrible chemzee opinion 2636

If we look at it from Cassandra's perspective, I believe she was mostly absolutely justified in Y1. Because if some random girl tried to make me dissapear/seriously hurt/kill me (the way it looked like from her perspective) but failed I'd also do a background check on her too 🤨 like girl what if she already hurt someone before? Plus, Cass wanting Ivy to get expelled? DUH she though Ivy almost killed her! Plus she learned she allegedly wasn't the first one so she's even more justified.

I love how this is Ren Ruyi’s Big Dramatic Revenge Plan for the emperor killing her mentor:

Step 1: challenge Deng Hui to a duel, pretend to lose it so your body gets brought to the emperor. Prior to this, get some of your old co-workers to hide your sword and a lock pick on your unconscious body.

Step 2: KIDNAP THE EMPEROR.

Step 3: Summon just, fucking everybody to the front of the palace, where you are holding the emperor at sword point. When they start yelling at you about how it’s very wrong and bad to kidnap the emperor, enact step 4.

Step 4: Announce that the emperor is a scumbag asshole piece of shit who killed his wife, framed you, and disrespects the entire spy organization working for him, drop the receipts, dismantle the spy organization by having someone else distribute antidotes and burn the records hall.

Step 5: Fuck off, having gotten exactly NO ONE hurt, but super humiliating for the emperor. Laters, losers!

(+ Step 6: Fake your death on the way out in just such a way as to get your poor apprentice who’s obsessed with you a nice gig as a duke and also a lifetime of trauma.)
