I was running from random things... but they are faster.... Leo definitely would do everything to get Casey to the portal, they planned it long ago, they must do it, but what if Casey would refuse? He will stay, die with them, that's all

Edit sound from here

Heard there was an @kirbyoctournament going on and decided to join the bandwagon like any good upstanding citizen--and also use this as an excuse to let folks be properly introduced to my little menace hahaha

He has a Reference Sheet and their own dedicated tag, but for those that want the quick rundown of his deal:

Parhelion Knight is the lone guardian of the ancient wishing star Parhelic Anima. A volatile, foul-mouthed spitfire, Stell isn't exactly the most sociable puffball in the cosmos, quicker to resort to violence and insults over diplomacy. To be fair, when the extent of one's social interactions for the past several centuries is speaking to a soulless AI, talking to oneself, and spewing death threats, it makes sense that their conversational ability vastly suffered. It certainly doesn't help that they're desperately pasting flex tape over their many, many complexes over their short stature and lack of wings. Projecting? Overcompensation? What's that?

Since I'm still thinking about Ming today... Let us compare Three Mings.

1. Ming when he's Scared*

*caught off guard by domesticity/affection and how much he likes and wants it

2. Ming when he's Trying*

*to fix the shit he does when he's scared, but still seem cool and controlled (of highest priority always)

3. Ming when he's Scared*

*deeply fucking terrified, scrambling, on the precipice of a complete break from sense and reason which he shan't recover from for years

And the thing is, which of these Mings do you think stays with Joe in his bones, in his gut. Which of these Mings are the Mings Joe remembers and thinks of as true?

Ming my babygirl, you have so so soooo much more Trying to try.

hi hello gals and gays. Here is a rare wav from me struggling with the flu. The virus has mainly been in my chest but my entire body is so wrecked I was able to induce super easily. No talking bc I’m literally unable to 😭 Do not listen if you can't stand harsh coughing because it gets a bit rough. If it sounds a bit weird the first half of the recording is from yesterday and the second half is from today, bc the coughing is so much worse in the second half lmao. Ok that's it thankkk you for feeding me so good lately tumblr love u all <3

also personal rant about ableism and intentional contagion in the comments :///

how i looked at the new guy at my job last month while he kept asking for my opinion on what fragrance he should buy from a kiosk 50 ft away instead of helping me with sales and the only other person there was busy performing an eye exam so i couldn't leave to go on break and i had to do everything myself

[binch-i-might-be]

alright that's it I'm bringing up my stupid unspecified vagina trauma in my next therapy session

[softmangoes]

ok but what if kylar was beautiful. what if he had eyes that drew you in like the green jaws of a flytrap to an unsuspecting beetle. what if his mouth would curl into a smile, too late, and too wide. what if his eyes, like shards of glass, never truly focused on anything until they found that they could focus on you. only you.

what if he was nothing else but a sickly prince roaming the halls of a rotting manor, waiting in eager anticipation to finally greet their beloved at the door.

or maybe i've watched this video too many times idk

I wanna know who of significant influence or number treats bi men like "injured deers". because, if you do hear about bi men at all from any side of the political spectrum, it's almost always about how particularly degenerate, disgusting, evil, and culpable we are. Or in GC online spaces there's a proliferation of just straight up homophobic jokes, rape jokes, etc that are seen as somehow woke and almost no one challenges in any way lol.

PS it's actually really easy to say that heterosexual men are objectively worse by almost anything you could mean by that ranking and that bi men are still an oppressed minority.

qsmp pacrim au.

compiling some Thoughts:

mariana and slime are drift compatible. they both fucking Hate each other. yes they get along great yes they get actually married and yes they are the worst thing to ever happen to each other. as pilots they have a specific region assigned to them that they need to protect when the Code sends out smaller kaiju swarms. mariana has slipped and sent the whole ass jaeger falling onto the town and there was a whole ass horrific court case about it, but they pulled through. then slime slipped they fell on a neighbouring town while helping out quackity. and on the way back mariana again made them eat shit in their own area again. They Are Not Allowed In Jaegers Anymore

roier and jaiden are drift compatible! they dont know each other at all when they get into the program but the first time they had to face down a kaiju they fucking Kicked Its Ass. their jaeger has so Many latency issues but they work together so well it almost never matters... up until it does. something goes wrong and it just stops registering roier's input at all and they both start screaming into the drift so loudly everything just freezes up. they wouldn't have survived if their jaeger wasn't so broken. it shut down entirely, the image of an ocean sunset frozen onto their internal screen, and everything else Completely silent. the kaiju ignored them to destroy the city after that. the mission to rescue them took Several other jaegers and a full day. a lot of lives were lost. they're trying to get back into piloting but it's hard. they both watch sunsets whenever they can

roier is doing pretty well with getting back into the program- jaiden has been busy with other matters in the thunderdome (the federation has her doing some... weird tasks to research the drift/the jaegers), so they haven't been able to pilot one together again. but he and a pilot from the Favela Five really hit it off and despite some Horrors things are looking up for them !

bad is a solo pilot. his jaeger is incredibly automated and honestly does most of the work for him, which means the mental strain is FAR less severe, but people can Always count on him to be reinforcement.

quackity wants to be a pilot SO BAD. okay SO SO SO FUCKING BAD. he got a solo jaeger like bad out of pure nepotism (he is the federation's meow meow and/or spy) and he leveraged that shit to get in the Game. he managed to drift with luzu, who left. then he managed to drift with wilbur, who left. and then his zone got fucking wrecked (thanks slime) and he hasn't been allowed in a jaeger since. He was super resentful of slime for it but now he's focused his efforts on trying to somehow sneak into other jaegers and get other pilots to drift with him. it's going as well as you can imagine. no one knows how he hasn't been murdered/kicked out/thrown into the ocean yet.

philza is a retired pilot! he and his partner missa know a lot about drifitng/jaegers so missa will go on business trips to be teacher for student pilots and philza sticks around the thunderdome to make sure all the jaegers are taken care of.

the french are a specialized team that share a singular jaeger, trading off and training and testing. While the other teams were designed to take down kaiju, their jaeger is smaller, faster, and designed to kill the code's Swarm. Etoiles is the most eager for battle, but Baghera probably spends the most time on the field patrolling for attacks. She's good friends with Bad and Forever, who agree that it's really weird that the Federation's instruments can predict a kaiju attack but can never predict the code.

people keep disappearing. people keep questioning it. if they question too much then they disappear.

the federation is in charge of jaeger program. They keep bringing in new pilots and trying to take care of them! cucurucho is in charge of this specific thunderdome and there is nothing going wrong ever! :D (the kaiju are somehow the federation's fault- that's why there's so many living pilots. there's only so many attacks as to keep everyone on their toes, but not enough to overwhelm. not yet. no one knows for sure what's going on. they just know it's bad.)

The Swarm are smaller kaiju (an oxymoron) sent by something that the pilots privately refer to as the Code. the federation doesn't acknowledge the swarm beyond being an additional threat to whatever area is currently under attack, but the pilots fuckign know- the swarm targets jaegers exclusively. they're fast, they can fly, and they can hit hard. they're unpredictable and they're scary, and all current pilots can tell you a bad story about them. the french and bad are the primary reinforcements when the swarm comes about. so far they've always been quick enough, but one day... one day, maybe, they won't be.

(foolish and vegetta are Not pilots they're bastard scientists. foolish is technically in charge of living specimens but mostly he just builds them super sickass terrarium/aquariums and fudges a little on the reports when they die. vegetta does a lot of mad science that tangentially relates to all the kaiju bullshit but he's so advanced that everyone just assumes it's on the level. foolish and vegetta have to share a lab but they sleep at different times so it works out. in the centre of the lab is a secondary kaiju brain that they both refer to as their daughter and, because they're Genius idiots, they've figured out a way to use it to send each other memory messages via a partial drift. when the kaiju brain starts using these memories to interact with them and name itself leo foolish starts letting it name all his specimens (and telling it when those specimens die) and vegetta starts telling it all about his big adventures and cool science. they both love their hell daughter and tell Not A Single Soul about their weird ass evil science. (foolish tells bad. bad thinks he's joking. foolish thinks that letting this go on like it is is the funniest thing he's ever done and he is Correct))

you know that feeling when you find a new show, and you think you might love it, and then four episodes in you have images and scenes and the leads faces just crushed inside your brain, and they are behind your eyelids when you blink, you are having so much fun, craving gifs, you're reblogging and when you're not watching episodes you're watching clips on youtube, searching for fic, planning posts and starting to create fic scenes, and then a few days or weeks later the images and the longing has grown to an intensity where it's starting to feel painful and you see other people's posts and you feel personally insulted that they don't know YOU are the one that loves this thing the most, but it doesn't even matter because you're so overwhelmed that the images in your head are strobing and you can barely cope with watching the next episode or reblog anything because you're going insane and can really only stare at walls and twitch, while you endure the hunger.

That.

Some intersex people genuinely don't want to be included but the majority of us want to be. It's actually really difficult to be in queer spaces that consistently enforce sex binaries, never use the updated progress flag with us, and never have intersex flags.

Often the idea that we don't want to be included comes from intersexists who want us to remain as "disorders of sexual development" (outdated offensive term). It's unfortunate that this idea permeates the queer community so much.

You can see photos from this intersex organization using the pride flag, if you need more than an anon's word. https://interactadvocates.org/#

Thanks for the information!

I didn't know "disorders of sex development" was considered outdated and offensive, I thought it was actually a modern (more formal?) alternative to "intersex". Unless that was "differences of sex development"? (I almost tagged it on the original post but I wasn't sure what the term was.) Ah, I found more information on the link (x). Thanks for the website, very helpful!

This subpage is a great source on intersex people wanting to be included! It's a bit more ambivalent than I expected - combined with this anon's word and my previous impressions it seems like there are still a significant amount of intersex people who don't want to be a part of the queer community, but the ones who do want to be included would much prefer the queer community open its arms. So it seems to me the best course is to do so and the intersex people who want to can individually distance themselves (my impression is most people of that group more want to be personally distanced than think 'I' should never be a part of 'LGBTQA') and only partake in intersex communities.

We recommend adding intersex to your organization’s LGBTQIA+ acronym only once you have intersex leadership, consultation and/or resources. Intersex people have very specific needs, just like each letter of the acronym.

This line in particular stood out to me because they only provide guidance for what organizations should do... I feel like most times when the decision is being made whether or not to use the intersex progress flag, it's individuals and small groups like my GSA making posts, selling merch, decorating a space, etc. that aren't serving any needs besides community for anyone... I guess I already came to the conclusion to include by default though? (Honestly this page feels just barely strong enough for me to send to anyone if this question comes up in the future, so if anyone has any more sources do send in more anons!)

Honestly I was hoping for something like "our survey of as many intersex forums/organizations/people as possible found that 80% of intersex people want to be included in 'LGBTQIA', pride events/orgs, and the progress pride flag" --that this had been "laid to rest" and I could just tell my friend straight "no, intersex people want to be included now"-- , but of course I shouldn't expect things to be too simple haha, people & groups are nuanced and nuance comes in the form of caveats. At least I feel much more informed now!

it'll all be okay because there's only one more day left in the school week and after that it'll be the weekend. wait no what do you mean after the weekend I'll just have to go back to school? what do you mean the cycle of going to school and coming back home completely worn out is gonna continue?
