Rewatching Gravity Falls for the millionth time and just now realizing that Bill told Stanford how and when he dies in their very first meeting in Standford’s ‘dream’. My sweet poor boy is gonna die of a heart attack at 92 which really is bittersweet in the end. I wonder what his full life was like 😩 I need a minute

[tobacconist]

Okay like i actually feel so guilty and this isnt even a joke. i dont know how to say this without sounding insane but yes; wizards are real. i am one of them. no, i havent been to hogwarts. yes, i do have a wand. no, i won't show it to you. etc, etc. genuinely this weighs heavy on my soul. ive talked about this before but i feel like its important for me to write this out once again. j confess it: j was party to them what put that curse on jk rowling. (iykyk) like, bitch, im actually so sorry. it was never meant to go this far. i mean i never meant for... well, i dont think any of us did (originally) but now we are where we are, and theres no turning back. not now.

basically, there was a big uproar in the wizarding community after that play 'the cursed child' came out. idk, i never saw it. you see, jk rowling didnt actually 'write' the harry potter series. she 'wrote' it, but it was not actually 'wrought' by her, like... to put it bluntly, the original was all based off of real events (albeit with significant alterations) and ,madame, was the one chosen to write the 'muggle-redacted' version, because she has (distant) wizard ancestry. she herself is completely unaware of this. well then, anyway, then there was the fantastic beasts saga; and, like, we were ALL pissed off. even the muggles sensed that something wasnt right. it wasnt 'magical'. it was a disgrace. so... yeah... we did it. we... uh... put that powder on her doorstep, so to speak. we crossed some bones. it was actually nothing to do with transness at all to begin with, it was about some political shit to do with the labour party and jeremy corbyn? or something like that? idk, were not supposed to vote and be political, we have our own kings and queens. anyway yeah we were just sore about how we were portrayed in it and especially how she distorted the whole plotline about grindelwald and harrys children. like bitch, if youre listening, tell me: WHY DIDNT YOU WRITE 'THE FOUR MARAUDERS' LIKE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO!? OR 'THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ALBUS DUMBLEDORE' OR 'HOGWARTS A HISTORY'? or ANYTHING ELSE! it could have all been so different... 'fantastic beasts'??? sorry what??? it was genuinely like smearing dogshite upon our screens. im sorry love, but were still right angry about it. we loved you... how... how could you? 'newt scamander' - who is this fellow? we have never heard of him. oh, what? did you feel some tingle of inspiration? some new character, who loves magical creatures. he was expelled from hogwarts... fond relationship with dumbledore... THATS HAGRID! THATS THE YOUNG HAGRID! FUCK! anyway yeah, i didnt watch any of the other ones cus it was just embarrassing to see johnny depp dressed up like that.

and ofcourse there was all the other stuff before that (dont forget to be awesome!) but basically we cast a spell, several spells, and sent evil fortunes to be upon her. i regret it deeply. but by gum was the woman strong! i beg you all to realise that she literally was not transphobic until we caused this incessant stream of abuse to be directed towards her. like, we literally did this to her. on purpose. it was a targeted campaign of psychic harassment and manipulation that we have put her through for YEARS, and its only a few months ago that she truly started to crack. weve all since disbanded, because covens never stay together very long; thats why hogwarts is only a dream - but the spells have been spoken and the weird it is weft, and it would be a strong hand that would unweave them. that is to say - it is ongoing, and i am so sorry sorry sorry sorry

and for the record :- transexuality/homosexuality/genderqueerness/goatfucking is literally not an issue in wizard society we literally have potions that can change your gender in an instant or turn it back again, most of us have non-human ancestry, and we regularly trade our sperm and eggs with other species such as elves and the chinese. so there.

Sephiroth, but instead of eldrich-horror-from-outer-space, Gast, Hojo and Lucrecia didn't mess up and injected him with actual cetran cells, so he's way less dark, mysterious and depressed and way more of a hippy goofball. They send him to a battle and he wanders off to smell some flowers

Hojo: KILL THE BUNNY, SEPHIROTH.

Sephiroth: BUNNY!!! *picks up bun, snuggles, listens to bun* Hmm, ok, I'll tell him. The bunny says you're a monster. And that her name is Fluffaggedon, Empress of Darkness, and you're going to die. *whispers with the bun*

Hojo: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST KILL IT!!!!

Lucrecia: He can talk to animals?! I only went to get cigarettes 3 years ago and he's already developed this much?!?!

Hojo: YES THAT IS HOW BABIES WORK.

Lucrecia: Neato mosquito. Any eldritch horrors we have yet to unearth? Maybe he can befriend them!

Hojo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Fluffaggedon: *twitches her nose*

Sephiroth: Awesome! Let's go! *escapes the labs for the 47th time that day, finds a herd of chocobos, becomes weirdly obsessed with the baby chicks*

---------------------------

A few years later...

Sephiroth: I'm going to get cigarettes!

Hojo: STOP SAYING THAT EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO ESCAPE! I am at my wit's end with you, you worthless-

Sephiroth: Maybe I'll run into my egg donor while I'm out!

Hojo: *finds the nearest paper bag to hyperventilate into*

Sephiroth, when he gets to newborn!Cloud's crib: Look, Fluffaggedon, there he is!

Cloud: 🐣

Fluffaggedon: *waggles tail*

Claudia: Um, hello?

Sephiroth: We love your child. He is the one. We will adopt him and be his friend and follow him to the ends of the earth.

Cloud: BUH 🐣

Claudia: Uhhh...would you like a snack? While I call your parents?

Sephiroth: No thank you, my parents are pretty evil and neglectful, and I would prefer to spend my time staring at your baby in wonder.

Claudia: ...

Sephiroth: 😍

Fluffaggedon: *cleans ear*

Claudia: ...okey-dokey, artichokey.

--------------------------

A few months later....

Claudia: Sephiroth, kiddo, please don't bring animals that will poop on the floor inside the house anymore, Cloud is teething and will try to eat anything.

Sephiroth: 😍 You are a wise and kind mother. Will you be mine?

Claudia: Yeah, sure, works for me. Grilled cheese or pasta for l-

Sephiroth: PASTA! 😍😍😍

Fluffaggedon: *happy butt wiggles*

--------------------------

A few years later...

Sephiroth: Mother, I need to go get cigarettes in Midgar, there is a child who needs me.

Claudia: Well, we need to start packing then. You get yourself ready and when you're done, come help me with Cloud's stuff.

Cloud: 🐣NO I HELP SEPH. AND I DO IT MYSELF.

Claudia: Whatever gets the boat afloat.

Fluffaggedon: *wise whisker twitches*

Hojo: *knocks on the door*

Sephiroth: *opens the door* Hello, asshole. Mother, this is my sperm donor. Sperm donor, this is my mother. We're going out to get cigarettes together.

Hojo: WHAT THE FUCK, YOU WERE HERE THE WHOLE TIME!?!?!?

Sephiroth: Yep. Leave now. *slams the door*

Fluffaggedon: *pushes a plant out of the window above the front door, almost kills Hojo, who leaves*

---------------------

In Midgar...

Jailbreak for Ifalna, Aerith, and Nanaki, but Sephiroth's primary goal is in the slums.

--

Sephiroth: Hello, soulmate. You may share my mother now that yours is dead. Come along.

Lazard: What the actual fuck.

Sephiroth: This is my Cloud. Say hello, Cloud!

Cloud: If you huwt Sephy, I kiww you.

Lazard: What the actual fuck.

Claudia: I mean same, he's my kid, but if you need a place to stay, I'm collecting children. Apparently.

Lazard: Well ok then.

Sephiroth: *happiest kitten*

Hojo dies of an aneurysm when he finds the note Sephiroth left behind.

"Ugly Sperm Donor,

Fluffaggedon says it is time. Goodbye, and good riddance.

Sincerely,

Sephiroth Strife 🌸🦋"

[fuglyhorses]

Followed your blog a few years back even though it wasn't active because I absolutely love it and have gone through it more than once. It was an awesome surprise to see you posting again! In celebration I now have a personal breeding story to tell you.

Some background is that when I got back into horses in 2019 turns out I made the wrong choice on who to go to, but I fell in love with a horse there and now can't leave her, so to cope I like to tell anyone who might be interested about the shit show I am experiencing.

The owner/trainer of the barn was given a horse that had originated from some hunter/jumper barn where they had ridden her over huge jumps at 4 years old and very clearly handled her harshly. When she didn't stay sound and developed behavioral problems they dumped her at a YMCA camp and some people who work there then gave her to the trainer. She tried to put her back in work but she was eventually deemed "unridable". She has behavior problems both in and out of saddle, she would be very difficult to lead, and just bomb through gates and in and out of stalls, she will also be fine for a long time then one day suddenly bite very hard. I'm absolutely sure most of this is due to pain or past pain. Besides having been ridden hard as a youngster she also has a tragic back end. I'm hoping I'm describing this correctly but she basically has no croup. Her topline is just flat from the end of her withers to her tail. Because of this she almost always cross canters behind. So, my trainer has a youngish, unridable, horse with big movement but problematic conformation, behavioral problems, and some kind of pain that prevents her from being truly sound. So what does she decide to do? Breed her of course! For you see, although she has no paperwork, she *supposedly* has warmblood in her! Actual warmblood, perhaps holsteiner or something similar. She apparently is registered with the "american warmblood association" which I know you know means nothing. The horse I ride could also be called an """american warmblood"" and I love her with all my heart but she is literally just a draft cross. So this means she must be a great sperm receptacle, because that's all mares are right? They aren't literally half the DNA of the foal right? Luckily the first year she tried it didn't take, if only the story ended there. Now, this was something that my trainer "always wanted to do" and I am relatively understanding to someone who in their whole horse career wants to have one home bred foal, the market is insane and it is a unique experience and sometimes they are very attached to the mare etc etc. Not something I encourage but I don't think you are the absolute worst if you do this. This is not actuall what my trainers ambition wound up being though. Fast forward to 2022 and the trainer's friend has decided she wants to breed her completely average thoroughbred mare, with no accomplishments to speak of, and picks out a different stallion than the one my trainer had already tried. He is a Westphalian stallion and he is Cremello! Because she wants a buckskin! So trainer's horse and friend's horse get sent down to this guy. In the meantime, trainer's riding horse, an OTTB, is having training problems (doesn't like jumping down into water, which is required in the higher eventing levels) and is not staying sound. So what does she decide to do with her? Breed her as well! Because soundness issues can never be genetic.

So this person who has never worked with baby horses has decided to have two for their very first time. AI doesn't take with OTTB so she gets sent down to the Westphalian too. All three horses do get successfully pregnant. Keep in mind this is a small barn that is already wildly overcrowded, with generally unsafe conditions and no proper unused area for babies and moms to live. Fast forward again almost a year and babies are born a couple months apart, trainer goes out of town both times literally as the mares are about to pop. "Warmblood" mare waits until she gets back but OTTB gives birth literally the day she goes out of the country for two weeks with a tween watching her farm. I also happened to be there when she gave birth which was a very cool experience but still ridiculous. "Warmblood" mare is a good mother, but as you may remember is not actually that easy to handle, which can make it also difficult to handle the baby. OTTB is good with people but aggressive towards the baby especially around food. (Just of a side note both came out Palamino) So since, completely unpredictably, they are having trouble working with the "Warmblood"'s baby because of the mom they decide to wean him at THREE MONTHS. Even the industry standard of 4-6 months has come into question lately because of the evidence of how bad it is for horses. OTTB weans at between 4-5 months because of the aggression towards the baby. "Warmblood" gets sent back to the same stallion almost as soon as the foal is weaned, and OTTB is given AI while the foal is still with her because apparently we have decided we are a breeder now and need to have foals every year! Luckily, neither of them take ( and we get to hear about "Wasted money" ) probably partially because the mares aren't in amazing condition, as they have not been getting unlimited food and even often run out of water because the owner and the kids feeding just forget to fill up buckets. 😊 Now Westphalian is not as strict as other warmblood registries, but they are an actual breed and they do have one, which means inspection. Somehow, it winds up actually being hosted at our barn. When I tell you how ridiculously embarrassing it is to have someone come all the way from Germany to this absolute hole of a barn. When the "Warmblood" mare gets inspected they mention her unfortunate hip anatomy, and also ask why the hell the foal was weaned already. Everyone passes though, not the highest grade but still registered and the foals get their brands and everyone gets their DNA tested. While this is happening the American from the registry actually says something to my trainer about how the "Warmblood's" conformation is going to be a problem in future breeding. After they have left trainer asks "Wait were they saying not to breed "warmblood"? But why if her foal was fine?" First yes, yes that is exactly what they were saying, second it is only by pure chance her foal didn't inherit that butt, you can't pick a choose what the foal gets no matter how fancy of sperm you buy. They proceed to say they were a little snobby even though they were way nicer than they needed to be. Also they wouldn't brand the wood in the barn which I thought was hilarious. Trainer decides AFTER the inspection to finally actually get "warmblood"'s papers? So now both mare's are just sitting and foals go out together with one halflinger in a tiny mud pit. "Warmblood's" foal has started showing some behavioral problems. I haven't had trouble, he basically just has a constant grumpy face, but he has bitten and tried kicking other people. This obviously could never have been predicted when you knew his mother had problems and then weaned him incredibly early emotionally stunting him! He's going to be a big fucker too. OTTB's foal is an angel but loose with those back legs lol. There is someone who really wants her who used to ride at this barn and rode her mother, then moved to a better barn and I hope she gets to have her because she will spoil her and give her a good life.

They both have big ole worm bellies too! Because the manure management is non existent in the pastures and they didn't get wormed at all until this week (maybe). I'm attaching pictures of the "warmblood" mare so you can see what I mean about her hind end. I actually like her a lot and wish I could help her. I hope you "enjoyed" this story, it has been painful for me to live through. I just thought it exemplified so many things this blog is all about. Good to see you back and I hope you're doing well!!!

Oh I was not prepared for the pictures. That's... not good. Thank you for being sensible and reporting back from hell on earth.

[seriouslysam8]

Just read Brumous over thr space of 48 hours for the first time... I'm stunned. What an awesome fic!

I am very much looking forward to Sirius meeting his sperm donor in person and how that goes down! But, I suspect it will be a long time before the confrontation happens!

Ah! I think I know who you are if you reviewed. I’m so glad you are enjoying the story!

So, yeah, the meeting happens towards the end of Brumous. Although, I’ve already written a decent chunk of it. Let’s just say, Sirius isn’t excited. At all. He takes a leaf out of his godson’s book of sass.

July Fic Rec

Guys I'm so sorry! Its been crazy couple of weeks and you guys get two for one cuz I'll be posting the Augest fic rec next! again guys I'm sorry and enjoy the recs😘

The Price by theroguesgambit - (Rating: Mature, Words: 18452, sterek)

Stiles must surrender the most important thing in his life to protect the town… and no one can figure out what it was.

loving him is red by allhalethekings - (Rating: Mature, Words: 14915, sterek)

“Who’s that?” Stiles asks, eyes not leaving the table.

“Who?” Scott asks, following Stiles’s line of sight. “Him? That’s Derek Hale. And you better forget about him. He doesn’t date."

Fire, Fury, and Flame by IAmAVeronica - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 124597, sterek)

Stiles Stilinski was never going to be the omega who got knocked up right after high school, and then he's accidentally artificially inseminated with a stranger's sperm. Awesome. And the father of Stiles's baby just so happens to be Derek Hale. Half-feral, quite possibly a murderer, and pursued by a gleefully sadistic band of hunters who are only too eager to use Stiles and his baby to hit Derek right where it hurts. Joy.

Waxing by Tulikettu - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 41237, sterek)

The Hale land in Beacon Hills is being contended. Derek needs to prove he's not going anywhere. And the best way to do that, according to Deaton, is to have an heir. 

But they don't just grow on trees.

you are an obsession (i am your possession) by EvanesDust - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 13838, sterek)

Once Derek catches that tantalizing scent, he can’t stay away.

Stiles.

Derek’s completely enthralled by him. Obsessed.

But all he can do is stand in the shadows, watching and waiting. Until he can make Stiles his, that is.

And when that happens, Derek will never let him go.

Logistics of Traveling with Werewolves by SylvieW - (Rating: Mature, Words: 11357, sterek)

The pack attends the National Werewolf Association Conference for the first time since they got their shit together. Derek doesn’t like being away from home, or facing people from his past. Stiles does his best to help out… without letting his feelings get in the way. It's harder than he thought since they’re sharing not only a hotel room, but a bed.

So Stiles just texted Derek... by MyOwnParabatai - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 1817, sterek)

So, Stiles and Derek finally get together after a run-in with witches, but things are moving a little too slow for Stiles' taste...so what does he do? What Stiles always does best, of course! Dive in head-first and see what happens!

He's Everything You Want (he's everything you need) by LadySlytherin - (Rating: Mature, Words: 5797, sterek)

If you asked Peter Hale, he'd tell you that there wasn't much that surprised him.

Stiles Stilinski? He was on the list of things that had.

Safe by Hedwig221b - (Rating: Not Rated, Words: 974, sterek)

“Where is he?” Stiles rumbled, glancing at each member of the pack in front of him, before settling his incinerating gaze on one person he once considered a brother. “Tell me, Scott, where is my husband?”

Daddy's Boy by Snare - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 2822, sterek)

Stiles has been blushing around him all week, sputtering and cheeks going red. It’s only after a pack meeting when Derek finally sees the soft pink lace peaking out from under his waistband.

Is there a biblical reason why christians believe life starts at conception (sperm attaching to egg)? cuz i've heard some muslims say the fetus doesnt have a soul until 3 months so abortion is *special* circumstances would be allowed but generally abortion is discouraged n frowned upon.

It comes from the fact that several prophets in the Bible refer to God knowing them *before* they were ever born, which implies that at fertilization, the personhood of the human to come is already acknowledged by God and that he has a plan for them.

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

Isaiah 49:5

And now the LORD says— he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength —

If you're Muslim, you have to understand that the entire Bible has been written under the inspiration of the holy spirit. The books have different authors (Moses, David, Paul, Salomon, Jeremiah, etc.) but their writings are united by the unity of the Spirit that inspired to put the Lord's mind on paper. So it's not Isaiah or Jeremiah just staying stuff about their conception, it's God making a statement through their pens. I know that Muslim have a hard time to grasp the concept of God made flesh, or understanding the difference between the father, Jesus (the son) and the holy spirit and say it's "association" = polytheism, but to give you an idea, it's like ice, vapor and water, and God is the H²O molecule that's inside all of these physical forms. WeChristians worship "H²O" (God) while acknowledging this molecule can have several physical forms, each with its own assets and purpose🩵✝️ it's not worshipping different molecules (= other gods) just different forms of the same "molecule" (God). There's no wonder water has such a significant symbolism in Christianity 👀 (baptism, the flood/Noah's ark, Jesus walking on water, water flowing out of Jesus rib after his crucifixion, etc)

That's why abortion is an abomination: because in the eyes of God, the fetus has already personhood, value, a destiny (like Isaiah he destined to be his servant). IDK about you, but trying to grasp God already having planned the unique life & destiny of the past/present/future humanity makes my head twirl 😵‍💫 but that's how awesome he is. Our life matters!!

Oh and one last thing : be very wary of those "Christians" who takes the example of Adam as evidence that Christianity says that life starts at birth :

1) Adam was never incubed in a womb or got "birthed" in the biological sense. God formed him out of clay, shaping him by hand. His creation cannot be compared to a human fetus who's made in the womb and delivered by the uterus.

2) as previously stated, God has a plan for every single human BEFORE their conception. So arguing whether they're alive when breathing their first breath is ridiculous because it's obvious the personhood and reality of that new being has been acknowledged by God way before

3) WE.ARE.NOT.GOD. Only God has the right of life or death on humans (that's one of the reasons I'm anti death penalty btw). Regardless of when life begins, we humans are not entitled to kill or harm anyone. Arguing that life at first breath is allegedly biblical, doesn't suddenly prove that it's "biblical" to kill a fetus.

In the absolute highlight of my week, I was talking to my (very sheltered) grandma (Lived in a village of a thousand people all her life in an absolutely orthodox family, has trouble with the concepts of multiple countries and time zones, absolutely unaware of a thing such as homosexuality)

I told her that these days even two women or two men can get married. And then if they want children, they can adopt. And she's like oh I haven't heard of that, is this more of a thing in foreign countries ( we live in India). I explained yeah, but there are people in India who do it too.

She pondered a bit about, yeah they can't have biological children (didn't want to go into the whole surrogacy sperm donation thing), but adoptions great! A child gets parents and parents get a child!

Then for the part I was absolutely not prepared for, she proceeded to ask me about the sex. Keep in mind this is an 80 year old woman who reads scriptures and mythological stories all day.

The way she asked was also amazing, because we don't share the vocabulary for sex, or lust, or sensual desire. She tells me a story about Diti and how she really wanted her husband Kashyap one fine evening and Kashyap kept saying no "because it's evening time and the gods will curse us" (amazing reason to not have sex Kashyap, 10/10, gonna use this when I'm not in the mood next time)

So my Grandma says, what do these two married women do if they feel like that. And I am speechless. I did not expect that from my sweet grandma. And idk what to say. So I tell her, well they get married when they're in love with each other (arranged marriage is the norm here). She's like, yeah ofc and looks at me like I'm not understanding her question. "Love is awesome, but" proceeds to tell story again, "what do they do for that?"

One of the great regrets of my life that I was not ready for that and told her a lesbian story from mythology and moved on.

I am in awe of this wonderful woman.

I am so so happy. What a wonderful woman. I hope someday when I encounter a strange concept I've never heard of, I respond to it with that open curiosity and acceptance.

I love your domestic bees! I love your Baby and the Bees! BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY RABID FOR AWESOME STEP-DAD/STEP-MOM YANG!!! Can we get some protective daddy Yang for Cub?

:also I'm assuming Adam is the sperm donor. What kind of Faunus is Cub?

Unfortunately, we're going with the obvious here. Yeah, Adam is the sperm donor. I did an animal randomizer and got tiger, but I already have an adopted tiger Faunus daughter in Baby and the Bees, and I'm already recycling the nickname Cub/Cubby, so I spun it again.

Leopard.

So, Cub is a leopard Faunus whose trait is that she has leopard spots all over (mostly on her back, arms, and legs) with a smaller spot at the corner of each of her eyes. Kind of like little beauty marks. She's basically a carbon copy of Blake, but her eyes are bright blue.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Cubby: (sniffling as she walks up to Blake and Yang after school. Trying to roll the sleeves of her orange flannel down)

Blake: Baby, what's wrong?

Cubby: (wipes her eyes and shows her arms, permanent red marker is connecting the spots in a way to make it look like a certain genitalia) Those *hic* Those boys over there grabbed me *hic* and...and drew on me... T-They said I was an activity book...

Yang: (eyes flash red as she sees a group of middle school age boys laughing and twirling a red marker) Blake, bring Cub home. I'm gonna take care of something.

Blake: (picking up a sniffling Cub) Yang, no. Don't fight a group of kids. We don't need you going to jail for child abuse.

Yang: Who said I'm going to fight the kids? (Kisses Blake and nuzzles her forehead against Cub's) I'll be home in time for dinner.

-1 hour later-

Yang: I'm back!

Blake: Oh, thank goodness. I was beginning to worry- I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T GOING TO FIGHT THOSE KIDS!!!

Yang: (roughed up) I didn't. I waited for their parents to come pick up the demon spawn, told the adults what happened, then fought the parents when they proved themselves to be even bigger douche canoes than their kids.

Blake: (covers eyes) Yang...

Yang: Good news! Those bullies were thrown into In-School-Suspension for bullying a freaking first grader.

Blake: Good news is the precursor for bad news.

Yang: Bad news. I'm not allowed on school grounds for the rest of the month.

Blake: (sighs) Was it worth it?

Yang: To protect my little girl from bullies while instilling the fear of the Dragon into their parents to send the message home? Absolutely!

Blake: (arches eyebrow) Your little girl, huh?

Yang: Oh, shhhhh- (notices Cub reading in the living room) -oot! I'm sorry, Blake! It kind of just slipped out!

Blake: (kisses Yang to shut her up) I love you. Dinner will be ready in ten minutes. Go get cleaned up before Cub sees you and starts using violence to solve her problems.

Yang: Yes, Mama Ma'am!

Mutual Aid Request for future fertility before starting HRT

I looked up the initial cost of freezing sperm at my local clinics. For those that do not know, HRT has a chance of inducing infertility. Although SOME trans women have reported being able to temporarily come off HRT to restore fertility in order to bank, there is no guarantee of it being successful. There is also the fact that coming off HRT for any extended period of time induces a miserable experience in trans folks that I've heard horror stories about--one that I would like to avoid if possible. The more I think of it, the more that I want to be able to start a family with someone someday 10-15 years down the road--directly if my partner is a cis woman or with a surrogate if my partner is another trans woman. Sure, adoption is awesome and I'd still love an adopted child like my own, but I'd choose to have at least one bio kid if I can.

That is where you come in: I'm asking for your help. I am still in a state where job coaches are being met with (the process is slow, but I look to have a job by year's end--one which will allow me to transition openly in the workplace), so I don't have a stable income just yet. But I'm confident that I will by the time the annual fee comes about, I will have enough of an income to budget that accordingly. So any donations to help for this goal would be appreciated.

Highlights from my Vampire Studies class today

So, I'm taking a class this semester which is a cultural history of vampires, in literature and film, and today was our first lecture for it. And OH BOY do I think I'm going to love this class.

The prof was awesome, and it looks like we are going to be covering some fun stuff this semester. Here are some of the highlights from today's lecture...

The prof playing Supermassive Black Hole while we were all getting seated (I'm not a Twilight fan but this was absolutely hilarious)

The prof played a video about using Wikipedia as a source, in which they made the joke "Your grades may be at stake", to which he paused it to add "A little vampire humour for you there" (This man is literally Viago if he was a German Studies professor)

We went over the course outline, and one of the two reading requirements is Dracula! (I'm ahead for once! Tumblr and Dracula Daily have prepared me for this) And, one of the films we will be watching is WWDITS :) I can not express how excited I am about this.

For today's movie we watched Nosferatu, which I have been meaning to watch for the longest time but never got around to. I actually really enjoyed it, and our class got some good laughs out of it.

"I am plagued by mosquitoes. Two have just bitten me on the neck, quite close together, one on each side"

I finally understand that one WWDITS reference in the pilot where Nandor does this:

"Your wife has such a beautiful neck"

During our lecture, our prof put together a slideshow about various vampire media (books, movies, etc from different years) and OH BOY there were some fun ones to talk about... for instance, one was a book called "What Would Buffy Do?", to which our prof recommended it to us if we ever have a moral quandary, and want to know what Buffy would do.

Another was some movie called "I bought a Vampire Motorcycle"

There was a small section about vampire influence on the... adult entertainment industry... to which the following interaction occurred:

Student - "I'm sorry... What is... Sperm-ula?"

Prof - *pauses for a minute* "What do you think?"

Showed us a book called "A Handbook for the Recently Turned", to which the prof said "Well... because you never know! Might need it!"

We then had a really interesting lecture on vampires throughout history, from ancient Greece and Rome through to the 18th century. Really cool stuff.

Prof made us talk to each other for an ungraded assignment because he wanted us to meet our "vampire buddies" 🥺

So yeah... I think I'm going to really like this class. Unfortunately, it sounds like quite a few of my classmates are only taking it because they were looking for an easy A elective, so hopefully they will learn to share the love of vampires by the end. I can't wait for our next lecture!

🔥 Phalloplasty

why cant i see phallo dick pics on google images dot com

seriously, i am mad that phalloplasty pics are so inaccessible even though i do understand why that is.

once again i think my real opinion is pretty standard, that phalloplasty is awesome but i wish it was Better and Cheaper and that i could be dunked in a vat of glowing green goop for free and come out with a perfectly functional normatively virile 6.5" uncut cock with balls and that i would then get paid $50,000 for going in the goop and also for becoming the world's first and best trans man sperm donor.

i think guys who are derisive of or contemptuous toward the concept of having or wanting a neophallus surgically attached to you are annoying, but i don't miss being told you weren't a real man if you didn't want phallo, because it is a very expensive surgery in a very delicate area (which is especially scary to think about when youre like, 15).

i think it sucks that so many of the results i HAVE seen are either circumcised neophalluses that look AWESOME or uncircumcised ones that . . . don't. especially as circumcision is becoming less common in the states and really is not common in other areas of the globe. being uncut is important to me because i know with reasonable certainty that i would not have been cut if i were born cis, and i know i'm not the only guy in that position. i also wouldn't be the only guy our age in a "circumcised firstborn son/uncircumcised secondborn son due to changing attitudes about circumcision in the early 2000s" situation, but man, if i'm getting my penis in my adult years i should be able to choose between two good options, instead of "accurate but not great aesthetically" and "inaccurate but looks REALLY GOOD". i want my penis, or at least an exact copy of the perfect dick i saw online once.

Before My Childirens Born

I think I’m gonna insane. I can’t take her suffering anymore. This morning, she tought me “How to relax with razor blade” and this was disgusting. I’ve been dropping my work since i don’t know. Like she doesn’t have a fucking job she always with me- but now her disgusting clone-virus race’s called her and she’s not here. She told me “I wanna pregnant to your child.” And I answered, “You can get pregnant any sperm who knows-“ she cuted my sentence and she held my chin, slammed me against the bathroom wall and said these words to my ear, “I’ve already a sex-slave instead of to my stupid coward brother. Your reactions like tim during your erection. You moan like him and when i hear your moans I become more erect, I really love your body and with these children you’re not gonna even think about leaving and divorce. Your mind is not broken yet. I love your everything.” Meanwhile she touched the sensitive spots on my body and I was erected again. After this fucking accident not only changed my eyes, my dick and ass also changed. When she touches me my disgusting dick already twitchy and leaks pre-cum. I can’t think clearly and my brain is fogged like after heroine. I hate my body since that fucking accident. Holy shit she comes with new technology transport “portal”. I can hear her sounds. Then she comes to my side, “You didn’t move, good. I think you ready for our real bdsm sex.” She checks my body. “Your brain is fog. I wish your mind would be aware like him however you’re strong for this” of course she means my mind, not my strength. She has been beating me since I told her “Enough! I don’t sex everyday anymore! I’m not horny incel teenager! Why we don’t sex twice a week? I can’t stand this! My erection has problem.” Then she started to beat me and suddenly next morning this accident happened. She starts to hold my arm and forces me to get up from the bath floor. She moves my body to our bedroom and ties my wrists and feet on wall’s fixed clamps. “Don’t worry, these clamps’ dualities are so strong and your moans just in this house, room. You can relax.” This time she doesn’t tie my belt to wall but she holds her other hand one mouth ball -I really don’t know bdsm stuffs- a one sleeping strip. “Open your mouth.” She forces my chin open and puts this disgusting red ball in my mouth. This thing doesn’t inside or outside and this is disgusting. After that she ties my eyes, I can’t see anything. She starts lick my nipples while masturbate to my cock and this really feels so good. I’m already at my climax. I think I’m losing my mind. I love her rape me. I love these feelings. I love to stay erect for a while. I love everything about sex. I love her insults- this makes me erect. I love tortured, her hands on my cock, in my ass. I’m losing control and no one helps me. She whispers with her sexy voice, “Give up and enjoy.” I love her voice when she insults me. A moan voice too loud, am I moaning right now and she just let me cum? This is awesome. My mind and brain are too fog, I can’t think clearly. Oh goodness my prostate! Please rape my ass more Ilanku! I love your fingers…

Memory ended.

Do you think the buckley parents will go visit buck when in a coma or not since they're supposed to be coming to la anyway

Hey Nonnie

That all really depends on what happens in the build up to the lightning strike.

I have a suspicion that things are going to get pretty ugly with the Buckley parents and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it is made known to them that they are not welcome at the hospital. I also wouldn't be surprised if we saw them refusing to go to the hospital - just like they talked about in Buck begins. if thats the direction they take I can see some pretty awesome set downs coming from Maddie and the firefam - which I would love to see!

6x10 is going to be very interesting - we're going to get to find out exactly what the relationship between Maddie and their parents and Buck and their parents has been in-between Buck begins and now - we only got mention of them going to a few counselling sessions with Buck, but we have no idea what actually came out of those sessions, or if they even went to them - I'm of the opinion that they maybe went to a couple and thought that was enough and that everything was magically fixed (or that it was too hard and too much work). We know Maddie has maintained some form of relationship with them since then - we saw emails in Boston, and there have been other references to Margret.

It's going to be a really interesting thing to watch unfold and will either give them some form or redemption arc or solidify them as awful people. I personally am of the opinion that there is no redemption for them and thats ok - its more realistic storytelling in many ways to have them irredeemable - not everyone has good parents and Buck learning to accept that and move on from it is potentially a key part of his arc this season (and connects into the sperm donor storyline so well because of needing him to realise that genetics are not what makes a father) and Maddie doing a better job than her parents and recognising how integral she was in raising Buck.

I can't wait - and I'd love it if we got a Bobby v the Buckleys showdown!!!

[magical-awesome-kid]

hey so um. i just saw your replies on that mycology post with the terfs and how you can't say that humans only have two sexes 'cause of their sexual development and the chromosomes and also intersex people and i'd just like to say how your username fits (you're awesome!!!!) and you're so so cool and also i'm quite interested in the topic as a queer stem student and yeah.

anyways --- i admire you! and thank you!! <333

Holy shirt - thank you, but I'm really no one special. I'm just a nerd who is also queer :D

For anyone missing context:

A post I have on here was talking about how psychologists and scientists agree that gender and sex are WAY more complicated than just "are you a boy or a girl." Someone jokingly added a post where a type of fungus has thousands of 'sexes' (it's not the correct term because sex is not an exact thing in this specific fungi - I believe it was described as mating types - but it's the closest allegory to humans).

And the TERFs just. Went off.

So like, I'm a scientist. My degrees are in biochemistry and cell and developmental biology. I have so many years of studying biology, understanding how human sex may alter response to drugs, etc. I've almost exclusively been working on human-related research and in hospitals since I was a sophomore in college.

And I was just like "well, yeah! This fungus thing is cool! Because it shows that not all biological sex is binary!"

Then a TERF came after me. Which I then added "And humans don't actually have a black-and-white binary either! Because, even at birth, you can be intersex! And transition later in life also can mimic these intersex patterns!"

See, when one is born, as most of you will know, the doctor looks 'down there' and is like "Penis? Boy. No Penis? Girl." Except we have a lot more going on than just external organs. In fact, anywhere from 1-2% of the population, conservatively, qualifies as intersex based on the most recent research, meaning that they do not exclusively express sexual traits that would quantify as 'just girl' or 'just boy.' This is not new, either - intersex people have existed throughout history, and, depending on the era and place, it was either embraced as a sort of 'birth of a religious leader' thing or 'we need to get this kid in the binary fast' thing.

So I'm just. Nerding out. Because this is cool. Humans are weird. We - along with most animals - don't all fall into neat little categories. It's more of a spectrum - where 'male,' classically, is high testosterone, facial hair, testes, and penis while classical 'female' is breast development, vagina, ovaries, and estrogen. Again, please note that I am using 'male' and 'female' here to define ends of the spectrum (we don't have better descriptors at this time - English, get on that!), but most people fall in between - yes, even cis people. I myself have thick hair all over my body, and I regularly bleach a mustache even though I am cis female. A large portion of the AMAB population develops breast tissue.

But people keep trying to insist that it's one or the other. They want the neat little boxes where you are A or B, but science isn't like that. Genetics are weird. Enviromental factors come into play. And I haven't even touched transition for nonbinary and trans people. No, I'm just talking about people who are born and decide 'hey I agree with the letter on my birth certificate.' Humans are weird.

Someone was even like "uh, but we only look at what gametes you make!"

Well, person who is not cool and wants to ignore science, even if it came down to only 'what gametes do you produce,' then there are still four categories - those people that produce eggs, those people that produce sperm, those that produce both, and those that produce neither. There is no way to slice it that does not end up with more than two categories or can massively exclude members you would otherwise put into that category.

Like, if a 'man' is one who produces sperm, and a 'woman' is one who doesn't, this not only excludes infertile people completely - including bio males who have every other benchmark of classical male development - but it also then could bring people who may be considered female into this category if they had undiscovered internal testes or intersex people who have always expressed both classical male and female traits. How do you classify a guy who did produce sperm but may have lost his testes due to cancer or a physical accident? Is this person still male, or is this now not male? What about a person who is cis male but has a hormone deficiency and can't produce sperm until they are on hormone replacement?

As previously stated, sex is complicated. We consider factors aside from gametes - like primary and secondary sexual organs, hormone levels, etc - to all be part of biological sex.

Now, I'm not saying 'don't trust science because it's messy and always changing' - no, that's not the point of science. Science is using what we know as truth now to design treatments and care based around said facts, but a scientist is always looking to verify those facts, whether by examining the literature or performing their own experimentation. They control for the different factors that can alter the results as much as possible - think of if you go to the doctor and they ask about if you have a bleeding disorder before prescribing a medication because this med will thin your blood, causing further bleeding, or if you have gastrointestinal issues before giving you a medication that might make that worse even though it would treat the headache you came in for.

For some people, taking this medication for three days will fix all of their ailments. For others, this medication will fix one thing, but you'll need another. For even more people, you're basically prescribing sugar pills. Getting the flu for my 80-year-old grandma who has diabetes is a much more serious ailment than me, a relatively healthy twenty-something, getting the exact same virus. Humans are weird and messy creatures, and science is constantly updating to take that into account. Science is a series of 'yes' and 'no' down a diagram tree, where we get to a point that is the hopeful answer, and we keep adding new questions so that we can get the most exact answer. These branches cross and mix, where multiple branches may lead to the same answer while others may completely derail to another solution because one factor didn't quite fit.

Sorry, I'm getting off track.

ANYWAY yes, biological sex is complicated, more like a series of slider bars than two concrete containers, and, if a TERF wants to argue with me on that, I'd love to talk about gametes and sexual organs until the cows come home.
