#i appreciate the reminder though

[alchemistc]

you posted a selfie a few months ago and my first immediate thought was "oh no and she's hot too???" like yes, u are incredibly funny and an amazing writer and I adore all ur fics (especially Goon my beloved <3) and how delightful and heart wrenching and all the other adjectives ur post 8x06 fics have been (and were part of the reason I didn't immediately blacklist all 911 related tags in a fit of rage sadness and disappointment at the show lol) but my first immediate reaction to 'something you'd never say off anon' was that I need to take the opportunity to tell you ur hot in hopefully the least weird way possible 😂

Cheers to genetics!

(Hotness is a state of mind I sometimes occupy space in, believe you me when I tell you my online presence is curated, but I appreciate the compliment!)

I'm glad you stuck around for my five-stages-of-grief fic writing, I hope I can continue to impress!

tell me something on anon you'd never say off anon

I went to a local yarn store for the first time, and while I was there, somebody was talking about getting a beginner's knitting kit, and she inquired about when lessons were, and when she was told that they'd be happy to sit down with her and teach her, she was so delighted. She talked about how excited she was and how much she wanted to learn to knit, and it just... it made me fall in love with humanity. It was this pure, unadulterated happiness coming from somebody and it was so genuine and kind, and I couldn't help but smile.

I guess all of this is to say... every moment, there are tiny little joys like this all over the world, and it makes this life worth living. I hope you witness and feel joy this simple, this pure.

Phil: [Filling Bagi and Fit in on the recent Luffy lore] And then they spotted Luffy hiding behind a tree behind me, and said I was lying and started attacking me, so I just started– well, actually– [grabs his mic] I think I started attacking them first actually. [Laughs]

Fit: [Laughs] Details, details!

Phil: Details! You know, I start– you know, you know, I mean– they weren't there to— [Notices a Wandering Trader] Oh, hello. Oh! Anyone want a sombrero?

Fit: [Pulls out his chainsaw and immediately kills the llamas]

Phil: Nevermind.

Bagi: Fit is working!

Fit: This is lore! Do not interrupt the lore!

Phil: America. He's right here, I'm talking to him, he's right here.

Fit: [Kills the Wandering Trader with his chainsaw]

Bagi: I'm so sorry, sir. Wrong place, wrong time.

Fit: I'm sorry you had to see that, Empanada. Sorry you had to see that.

Phil: Jesus Christ.

I think one of the great problems that faces people who are in the industry – within which they have to express themselves – is learning to ignore entirely anyone else’s opinion, especially complimentary opinions because the luxury with being assaulted is that you know instinctively that you’re not to take that onboard because that would affect – in a negative way – what you’re doing. But the same thing could be said for compliments, but they come in sheep's clothing. They invite you to give your sense of self-esteem to someone else because as soon as you start relying upon compliments, then you are giving away your own... I can’t think of the word, but you should be the crux of your own opinion. –Grian Chatten from Fontaines D.C. on Live with KEXP [x]

I just wanna smooch and love on koko so bad 😩😩 like, send him off with a packed lunch with a sweet note in it (I KNOW he tends to forget to eat when he’s busy), cuddle up to him as we talk about our day—

Married life with him would be so fun I just know it 😩😩 Ughhh I just wish we could have more sneak peeks into their day to day livesss wakui plsssssS I wanna know why he was ranked in the top three 😩😩😩😔

I'm pretty sure it's because of how attentive and caring he is as a partner! He just seems so loving and dedicated to anyone he's with, he would definitely make a good partner. I mean he literally risked his own life to save Akane's. Definitely always putting his partner above himself and trying to take care of them. He's just a sweetheart towards his partner!

just a quick ask to tell u it makes me super happy seeing the detail u go into when pointing out stuff u like about other people's art of ur ocs :3 it's so rare to see but it's so so motivating!! <3

Thank you! I don't take any interest for my art for granted, and if someone goes through the trouble of drawing my characters for me, I feel like trying to write a proper response is the least I can do. For a visually oriented person, receiving gift/fan art is a huge deal, it means someone considered my goobers worth their time and effort, they've probably been thinking about them more than a little and found them inspiring in a way or another, and I find that terribly flattering. It's extremely fun and interesting to see other people's takes on them. And I've drawn stuff for people as well, I know how nice and rewarding it feels to receive a response that is longer than a word or two. Positive comments like that can linger in people's minds for a long time, at least for me they do.

[bugeyedfreaks]

It’s the PPG witching hours so this is probably why I feel compelled to write this but also because that last ask has inspired me…

…I am always on the lookout for PPG fanfictions that people think I may enjoy, so… just to let everyone know if you did not already… I am always open to recommendations…

the irony of one the first main things established about omori as a character is that he's known for his great memory as if he hasn't lost the entire fucking plot repeatedly for years.

like he has a great memory!! if you don't take into account He's Actually The God Of Repression.

"Alice Perrers was perceived by her contemporaries to be an uncrowned queen and through an analysis of her activities it is clear she was able to utilise the practical benefits of queenship for her own ends. However, by taking on the mantle of queenship Alice fundamentally corrupted the sovereignty and kingship of Edward III. First, by her aggressively political behaviour she became the threat at the heart of the power structure that the gendered constructions of queenship were supposed to remove from a consort. Second, by taking on the practical aspects of queenship she inherently undermined the ideological role of queenship, both by the simple fact that she was a mistress and not a queen, and even more so because of her behaviour. The problems Alice caused and how she was perceived were amplified in contrast to the [...] demeanour of Philippa, who was widely respected and much loved by the people. Just as queens in their exalted position were ‘lightning rods’ for ideas about women and female power, so was Alice because of her proximity to the king."

-Laura Tompkins, The uncrowned queen: Alice Perrers, Edward III and political crisis in fourteenth-century England, 1360-1377 (Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2013)

"Alice's expansion of her power through the office of queenship was problematic for a number of reasons. First, while the queen’s power was legitimised by her marriage to the king and her coronation, Alice’s power was not formalised in this way and consequently would have been regarded as illegitimate. Second, she was not the right type of woman to share in the king’s dignity. She was not noble, she was not chaste and she was not virtuous. Instead, she was a low-born London widow and a businesswoman. Consequently, we find Alice being discussed in the language and stereotypes of queenship, but in a rather negative light. For example, while queens are routinely described as noble, beautiful and virtuous regardless of what they actually looked like, Walsingham is quick to emphasise that Alice was of low birth, and that, almost implied as a consequence, she ‘was not attractive or beautiful’. While we do not know what Alice looked like it seems unlikely that Edward III would have taken and kept her as a mistress for so long if she had been physically repellent. Third, and most significantly, not only was Alice an inappropriate mistress exercising illegitimate power, but she also broke all of the gendered rules that queenship was constructed around, inverting the ideal form of queenship to her advantage."

Over the years, I've gotten a lot of cis people messaging me about how they should go about dating or courting somebody who's trans, and I always felt like my responses would almost... disappoint them because there isn't this magic secret to dating us.

Cis people, if you want to date us, just date us. We're human beings, we're not wild animals to tame! I promise you can have a healthy relationship with a trans person without needing to feel like the world will end if you mess up.

Trans people who date cis people often want to feel secure in your acceptance of them. You don't have to talk about our transness for hours on end to prove that you accept your loved one. You don't have to put on a display and cabaret about how Much You Accept Us. Just be a person around us, and let us be people, too!

I almost want to disappoint cis people by reminding them of this. Some of the best relationships I've had with cis people have been ones where my transness is acknowledged, sure, but it's acknowledged in the same way that my left-handedness is. It's not a joke to them, it isn't something to be horrified about, but it's also something that they don't objectify me for.

If you had to boil yourself down to a quote, what would it be?

cheating By putting two, but i really couldn't decide between them. Basically it's a Combination of "i want to Create and make my creations feel human. or at Least feel. something."

I love how todo, alongside nanami, is one of Yuuji’s best mentor figures. You can really see a lot of Yuki’s mindset and behavior shine through him and I hope we get more of that, through a flashback or todo’s thoughts, before the series ends

Before I got into amphibia I was under the impression that sashanne or sasharcy were the main big big ships besides sashannarcy because those were the only ones I ever heard about. Watching the show and realizing marcanne was top tier made me feel a bit alone for a second like "Ah yes. The least popular ship again. Guess it'll be just me and my ten future mutuals against the world again" but now I actually get involved in the fandom and I realize that not only is marcanne insanely popular but it's also considered by some to be THE most popular amphibia ship?
