#if she’s acting somehow weird

[morninkim]

As a show of good faith toward the remaining Decepticons at the beginning of a new, united Cybertron, newly appointed Senators Bumblebee and Soundwave allowed Shatter and Dropkick to enlist into Autobot City's Defense Team.

These two turned out to be... not the best choices.

The city may have fallen to Insurgent Decepticon occupation had it not been for young recruits Hot Rod and Arcee's accidental interception of Shatter's communication with the fugitive Starscream.

To replace the errant Defense Team members, Springer and Blurr were reassigned from Iacon to Autobot City in their stead.

nervous's story in the sims 2 is so freaking sad. i've been trying out a coping mechanism where i play the game and try to make everyone's dreams come true and he was obviously my first pick because bro.......

[halamshirals]

did you guys know that, well, the cruelty is the point

[blujayonthewing]

I don't mind being treated like a weirdo when I'm being weird but is there anything worse than spending your whole life constantly running into moments where you thought you were being perfectly normal, you thought you were acting like everyone else, maybe you even were objectively acting just like everyone else, but whatever you said or did makes everyone stop and stare at you exactly like this

shannon. bestie. isn't it so funny and quirky how you're the first person to explicitly state that people will die as a result of the epitaph?? what a crazy goofy coincidence!

Sometime I should draw out the incredibly complicated relationship triangle of my KNY modern au because I think all adult friends should just fuck each other every now and again. Keeps the ecosystem healthy. And also because I can’t choose which ships I like best and therefore will include them all so help me god

something on my mind rn. as you all know i’m a lesbian. applause from the audience. and sometimes it just gets to be like annoying when. well. so i have at least A friend who’s asked me several times over ‘so you don’t have Any attraction to men? like at all?’ and i know they’re not being like malicious but you know. that answer has not changed since like seventh grade. and in the same vein it just feels aggravating when i have the nerve to say Oh i think she seems like a lesbian. that’s giving dyke. etc. and to be met with ‘umm well maybe she actually does like men.’ like. first of all in personal conversations if i’m just saying shit chances are i’m just going off of patterns from my own life or other lesbians i know. i’m not here for Bi Erasure and i promise you in this context your attraction to men is not ever invalidated as much as my lack of it. esp in college with so many people talking about their dating/app experiences and etc it’s 99.9999% of the time about men and i just Can’t participate in that conversation which is yk not the end of the world but a bit isolating and even if i do contribute anything it just feels like… a slight Stiffening like. and even just getting brushed off with Well yeah but you’re not even into guys. like real! i still have eyes though. and esp when my attraction isn’t being celebrated and engaged with in the way theirs is it’s just really fucking lonely! and maybe that’s a gross inner voice of insecurity that i’m projecting onto them but like you must get what i mean right. there’s still this odd air specifically around people who Do Not engage with men at all. and if i do make any kind of joke or comment abt someone maybe just Not being into guys i’m made into the asshole who’s invalidating their experiences etc when like. i’m just saying shit man idk. and it’s like many of these people are bi and claim attraction to women but get so like uncomfortable actually talking about it. i don’t think i’m the one with problems! i think there’s still some internalized shit there. you know. anyway all this to say as much as we’ve had the conversation of invalidating bi attraction some of you need to think about not treating gay attraction as this secondary awkward weird elephant in the room. and on a more personal note on top of the Everything that was getting under my skin last night this was just a cherry on top where i was feeling soo… misunderstood and invalidated lol even tho again i largely think those friends were being very supportive and kind to me. this is just one thing i was like. 😐

the one thing abt being hyper aware of ur flaws is that u can kinda make it a lil bingo game

[blackjackkent]

Made it out of the ruins and back to solid ground - and look who we find trussed up in a cage.

She's surrounded by a couple of tieflings - perhaps brought here from hell on the nautiloid? - who are talking about her in rather unkind terms.

"Zorru was right. Yellow as a toad and twice as ugly."

"The thing's dangerous. Leave it for the goblins to kill."

"And if it escapes? How will you-- Oh! A guest."

The tiefling turns to face Hector as he and his companions approach.

Before Hector can respond, he is hit with another blast of the strange energy from the mind flayer parasite.

Narrator: Your skull pounds in response to the prisoner's white-hot stare. Her lips don't move, yet you hear her voice.

"Get rid of them."

"Don't worry. I'll get them out of here, one way or another."

Narrator: Your words flow to her, though you never speak them aloud.

Lae'zel seems in her thoughts more agitated than her taut exterior would let on - the words press urgently through the connection. "I know what grows inside of you. And I know of a cure."

Shadowheart, behind him, snorts softly. "Remember how keen she was to leave me to die on the nautiloid? We can't trust her?"

Hector shakes his head slightly, fixes his eyes on the tieflings.

[MONK][PERSUASION] "The githyanki's an intelligent creature, just like you. Release her, and let us converse civilly."

Whoops.

The tiefling laughs.

"Can't be that clever. Walked right into our trap."

"But Damays, if it's intelligent... we can't just..."

"No. We're taking it back to camp. Zevlor will know what to do with it."

Well, that didn't work. Hector frowns for a moment, then tries a different tack.

[DECEPTION] "This creature is dangerous. Get out of here - leave it to me!"

Apparently, for some reason, this strikes more of a chord with the tieflings; he gets the impression they didn't really want to deal with her anyway.

"He's right," the leader (Damays?) says. "Let's go. We need to check out that blast."

That sounds concerning. "A blast?" Hector asks - pressing his luck slightly, but this seems like important information. "I could use more specifics."

Damays shrugs. "You didn't hear it? Shook our camp good, so we came for a look."

Camp? "I'm in dire need of healing. Where is this camp?"

Damays eyes his blood-spattered clothing for a moment, seeming to register the potential truth of this statement. "Northwest. Look for Nettie. Whatever your wound, she can mend it."

"And be careful," the other tiefling puts in. "There are goblin traps everywhere."

Hector nods and remains very still until the tieflings have turned and walked out of sight, until their footsteps have even faded from earshot. Then he turns and looks at Lae'zel, who has remained mercifully quiet during this whole interchange even though he knows she has been bursting with irritation.

Now she speaks, a snap out into the sudden silence.

"Enough gawking. Get me down!"

Hector, able to relax now that the tieflings have left, finds himself able to muster a slight grin and a bit of humor. "Say please."

Lae'zel is not in the mood for it.

"Never."

There's a long awkward pause. Hector circles underneath the cage, which is suspended some twenty feet off the ground.

"Questionable intellect. Unsurprising," the githyanki sneers down at him. "Release me. Or enjoy a future as ghaik."

He mentally notes to himself that she either has no sense of humor or takes things so literally that it amounts to the same thing. Despite their having fought together on the ship, she seems perfectly willing to believe that he is itching to leave her behind.

That was you, on the ship, with Shadowheart. Not me. I don't leave people behind. Besides...she was the first friendly face he saw among all the mind flayers. That counts for something.

"What does ghaik mean?" he asks idly, examining the cage for a sign of weakness.

"Mind flayers," she snaps impatiently. "The atrocities we are becoming."

He pauses, one hand on the ropes suspending the cage, and looks up at her. "Becoming..." For a moment, the despair and fear bubbles uppermost despite his attempt at good humor. "There's no hope for us, is there?"

She shakes her head sharply. "I *know* a remedy. Release me, and I will share it."

He doesn't bother trying to argue that he was already planning to release her when he walked up. He isn't sure that in her current mood she would believe it anyway.
