Babey I’m cooking

Currently designing a bunch of designs for a Very VERY specific crossover that appeals to like 3 people including me. The storyline is practically the same as Super Paper Mario, with some changes regarding character dynamic and cause -> effect events.

I am having a LOT of fun drawing these! I'm nearly done with the rest of the main cast. Might do a masterpost or just a Big Ramble about this AU/Crossover at some point teehee

Was at home handing out candy to trick or treaters tonight, and there was a little girl who came up today with the biggest grin, dressed up as season 3 El, spiky striped yellow shirt and smudged lipstick bloody nose and all. And all I could think about was another little girl who was also so excited to cut her hair in the fall and wear that same shirt, and steal her mom’s lipstick to craft her own little fake blood smudge… four years ago to this day actually

Please excuse me while I go cry in a corner for a bit

i got all dolled up. pretty skirt, nice boots, good makeup. went over to her house to appraise it, and once she clocked me as trans she started getting all up in my space, fussing with my clothes, brushing her hands over my shoulders and waist. sorry it’s just—sorry, but I get so particular when clothes don’t fit right. i squirmed under her touch, thankful for my tights suddenly as she leaned down to examine the hem of my skirt. she asked me all kinds of invasive questions: so how long have you been doing this? are you gonna get the surgery? have you ever seen a real woman naked? i am a real woman, i tried to say, but couldn’t over her sudden burst of mocking laughter. oh honey, you know what I mean. a woman with a cock. a biological woman. not a flat chested little cuntboy like you.

i flushed, protesting, only for her to kick me swiftly in the legs. look, you don’t even know how to wear women’s clothes correctly. those boots are alright, for a guy. but those are men’s boots. here, look at mine. she shoved me down, until my face was pressed right against the leather of her shoe. with a foot on the back of my neck, she forced me to lick. oh, good boy. good boy. i tried to tell her to stop. that i wasn’t a boy. that i was a girl like her. but my mouth was flush against the leather, drool pooling across the tip of the boot. did i even want her to stop?

she leaned down, flipped my skirt up, and bunched her hands in my tights. and then tore them like tissue paper, leaving my soaked cunt exposed. no panties? awww, dumb little tranny doesn’t have a real woman’s cock to fill them out, huh? grabbing a fistful of my hair, she yanked me up and pressed my face to her cock, rubbing the bulge in my face while i struggled for air. with a wicked, smug grin, she pulled me up and threw me on her bed, spreading my legs, my male cunt so obviously dripping, ready for her. she lined herself up with me. her hard femaleness so obvious in comparison to me. and here’s the real reason why you can’t be a woman. she groaned when the tip of her cock breached me. because in just a few thrusts i can fucking ruin your life. you want that? you want to fuck an actual woman? want her to get you pregnant? to bottom out in her little trap and pump its womb full of cum?

i could only nod and spread my legs.

im almost asleep but evan being one of those eccentric medics tht release tension from ur body via pressure points and he makes barty cum like that untouched

lune this is so high-level i’m giggling… i’m picturing evan sitting primly in his turtleneck & slacks. “i am fully capable of intercourse without taking my clothes off,” he is saying.

barty is humoring him and smiling fondly (maybe a bit patronizingly) all like Aw of course rosie :) thinking this is another one of his eccentricities. jump cut to him busting in his pants while evan sighs. evan is whispering in his ear that he knows the pressure points to put him in a coma, too

As the weird mythology-obsessed kid growing up, I have countless times been disappointed by how little most people know about mythology, even in spaces where I thought people SHOULD know a bit more than the basics. (Namely, college level writing classes. Not just the students, but the teachers. At a top 20 liberal arts college. Literally just. Actual literature professors of mine not knowing relatively known stories like that Aphrodite cheated on Hephaestus with Ares. Reader, I was gobsmacked.)

The fact is, at least in the US, your average person on the street, NOT ON TUMBLR, but I mean like actually outside this bubble, doesn’t know much mythology. They might know Zeus, or Hercules, or “Mighty Aphrodite” based on recent TV shows or the Disney movies or the aforementioned song.

I’m reminded of this XKCD comic which really nails it:

This also applies to mythology. More people than you, the reader of this, probably don’t know who Orpheus and Eurydice are than you might think. Hadestown returned those names to the sort of mainstream and even THAT niche of musical theater is still, well, pretty damn niche.

Thor 3 has Zeus in it, and Hercules, and obviously Thor. But the Thor franchise is wildly inaccurate to actual Norse mythology is probably the biggest influx of mainstream knowledge of mythology where you MIGHT be able to talk to the average person about who, say, Loki is. But it’s doubtful they’d know a single historically accurate myth, unless MAYBE they’d also played God of War. But again, these are still very nerdy niches within the general mainstream culture.

I dunno. Maybe there’s no point to this. Just that sometimes I see people on here, especially in the Sandman fandom, kind of surprised by mythological knowledge not being more widespread. But in my personal experience, even in very nerdy circles, it very often really, REALLY isn’t.

So I watched Wild Blue Yonder and I am so baffled by one of the references RTD put in.

This one right here.

This is a reference to the 1960s sci-fi puppet show Thunderbirds.

Russell. Russ. Rusty. Sir. Who is this reference for, besides me and maybe a handful of other nerds? I love that it's there, it made me immensely happy, but what a bizarre reference!

Oh I haven’t mentioned this on Tumblr yet but I HATEEEE it when people call jannik Austrian/german or spell his name “yannick” bc it sounds more German to them like he is Italian. He was raised in Italy and he identifies as Italian and he plays for Italy he is ITALIAN why can none of the grown men in yt comment sections respect his identity

anyways i think ive posted this before but the ADL and whatever "rational wiki" is (heard something negative abt it once idk what its about but) both have good index's on dogwhistles to look out for, of course for some things its hard to tell but take context clues and if they use a bunch of other dogwhistles into consideration if you suspect someone is alt right, also consider that some people are essentially taught this stuff w/o context of what it really means sometimes and might just use dogwhistles bc they dont know any better (thinking of minors here mostly). either way gauge for yourself if its safe enough to stick around to find out.
