I shouldn't need to explain to yall why it's an absolutely REPREHENSIBLE idea that a character or their relationship with another is "less queer" or "lesbian erasure" because the person they're being paried with is non-binary.

I imagine being around other Smashers from Super Smash Bros. does wonders for Samus' self-esteem and emotional well-being. Not in a sarcastic "haha we're comparing traumas wheeee" kind of way, but because SO DANG MANY Smashers are so very insightful, compassionate, and caring in their own ways and would want to see her have some measure of peace and help her heal.

The Smash Crew (with the obvious exception of fucking Ridley and probably Dark Samus too I dunno) is Ride or Die for Samus Aran and they will not hesitate to remind her at every given opportunity.

samus gets put in therapy for the first time ever thanks to the fact that there are actually people around to hear what she says to herself

One of the things I love the most about scripting and being able to shift is that in every reality, I script that men don’t think you want them after being nice to them and smiling. It seriously, genuinely pisses me off so much in this reality it’s not even funny.

Like so much the point where every single one of my other realities I scripted they don’t do that.

So going to other realities and being able to be myself and the men are still respectful and understand that’s just my way of being is ✨✨✨✨✨

Because what do you mean I smiled and said good morning to you 2 days in a row and now every time I turn you’re looking at me like this

"autism and/or adhd is a superpower!" no my audhd makes me think about Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novel 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" at random intervals and then it takes up my entire daily life for several weeks and/or months and then I forget to do The Stuff You Need To Do Stay Alive ™. anyways how was your day

a lil hyper specific preg AU of the 3rd episode bc I thought it would be fun to draw idk!

[edit; plot twist from a convo with a friend: Flug suddenly has super strength bc of his paternal/maternal(?) instinct to protect his baby. which is kinda canon bc he did develop crazy power in the 6th episode when he felt like 505 was threatened.]

[cintasvel]

i am trying to process my feelings about vel, cinta and velcinta because for a long time i didn't even think we'd get featured queer characters in star wars. i remember feeling completely disillusioned by the rise of skywalker same-sex kiss because it felt so out of touch to celebrate the bare minimum, or as i like to put it, crumbs. it didn't bring me joy.

when andor s1 happened, i was so overwhelmingly surprised to see vel and cinta as an actual couple. i genuinely could not believe it. the 'blanket' line really threw me and, after not expecting anything from star wars when it came to queerness, i was so flabbergasted to see genuine love and yearning between vel and cinta. like, it's bonkers to me that some people thought that relationship was remotely one-sided, but i've learned that many people will not give a sapphic couple the time and attention they deserve so i move past that.

throughout the wait for s2, i was so excited to see how vel and cinta's relationship would develop. how cinta's way of thinking would be challenged majorly, and what that would mean for the both of them. i think it's this waiting and hoping for better, for seeing how well conveyed vel and cinta's relationship was in s1, was ultimately what led me to feeling so betrayed with what happened instead. i don't think i'll ever forgive or not resent the writing decisions that led to cinta not being considered a character worth exploring. or, worse, only used as a tool to bring vel pain. i think, personally, cinta deserved to be more than just a lesson for vel to learn from. but that's neither here nor there.

ultimately, i'm so happy vel and cinta even exist. and i realize, even as i'm writing this, that to some velcinta will always be crumbs and i get it to a certain extent. because at the moment the wound feels so incredibly fresh and so undeserved and senseless and downright cruel. but for me, velcinta was not crumbs and their relationship will always mean the absolute world to me. the love story between a stone cold warrior who chooses love in the end and a rich girl who abandoned her life of privilege to become a rebel will always matter to me. i didn't think we've ever get it. i wish it hadn't been taken away and effectively shot out back by creators who, to be frank, simply don't get the intersection between gender, sexuality and revolution. but just because it's effectively 'ended', doesn't mean it stops mattering.

as an aside: it is also a very humble reminder for me that i should seek intersectional media from non-white male creators far more often than i already do. it won't always stop disappointment as big as this from happening, but i at least know i won't feel incredibly punked by it as i have with andor season 2.

anyway. velcinta forever i love my space lesbians <3

No one talks about the anxiety at the back of your mind when you're shifting for someone who exists here and you can't stop wondering if they're secretly a horrible person... or maybe I'm just paranoid

I am literally allergic to posting things normally here. Also kid Goku design by sporkks as per usual (hi sporkks if you see this)

[curioscurio]

parents really will be like “it’s not MY fault you grew up to be so dysfunctional” here’s the funny thing it actually is because you literally raised me and it was your job. imagine going to work and you threw all the merchandise on the floor and shattered it and then went “this literally isn’t my fault. I bought it and didn’t let it sit in the rain and I could have poured it all out. I could have set this merch on fire. You have no idea how much and how easily I could bankrupt this store don’t even fucking try me. you should be grateful im not killing your wife. my dad shattered every piece of merchandise when i was a kid and it made me who i am today” meanwhile normal people on the street wonder why the fuck you’re treating your own store like that. in fact most normal people would say “what the fuck is wrong with you”
