Gon Freecss & Killua Zoldyck:

God where do I even start. They are so insanely devoted to each other from the beginning, within the first arc Killua proves that he's ready and willing to kill for Gon and protect him no matter what. They go through so much together over the course of the series, and even though they have other friends it's the pair of them that are inseparable. They are both insanely devoted to one another and are willing to go extreme lengths to protect their friendship.

Dr Coomer & Bubby:

theyre beloved characters but their friendship is so underrated! grumpy old coward and sunny sweet old man whos secretly violent is a great dynamic

GlaDOS (Portal) -murderous ai -please don't ask me about the veracity of the cake -GLaDOS isn't just a computer she is the entirety of Aperture, she was created to contain the mind of a separate lady but seems to have her own personality, and her creators hate her and she killed them. I love her. I will forgive all her crimes. Yeah she's a bully but she's also severely hurt she can kill all she wants. (reblog link)

Data (Star Trek) -Data is a sentient synthetic life form designed in the likeness of Doctor Noonien Soong, his creator.

Hey, just to let people know: The submitter for the poll I'm queuing right now for posting in uh... ten minutes... added a piece of fanart not drawn by them (I assume, as they said "by [username]" rather than "by me") as their suggested image. While the fanart is great, I can't use fanart without explicit permission from the artist (sent to me via Tumblr, not through the form, as I can't verify you are who you say you are through the form), as that would be reposting someone's art without permission! Please attach official art if you're going to submit an image!

I'd still prefer to use official art as fanart isn't always immediately recognizable if it's not in the style of the original, you know? But IF someone were to contact me and say "you have my permission to use this art for this poll" I would at least consider it.

🌟 New

Tumblr Live will be shutting down on January 24th, 2024. Read more about it here.

Post+ is also being shut down. All subscriptions to Post+ blogs that were paid for on web have been canceled, and you’ll no longer be billed for them. If you have subscriptions to Post+ blogs that were paid for via an in-app purchase on Android or iOS, you’ll need to cancel them on your device (we’ve also emailed the people who were subscribed this way). All existing Post+ posts have been converted to private posts.

🛠 Fixed

The latest version of the iOS app, 32.8.1, has a fix for a bug that was preventing images from being rearranged when making a photoset.

Submissions in your inbox on web no longer display a duplicate avatar for the submitter.

Mentions in private group blogs’ posts will now send a push notification, like other mentions, but only if you’re a member of the private group blog.

You’ll no longer receive a push notification about your own reply on a group blog’s post that you’re a member of.

🚧 Ongoing

We’re working to fix an issue in the iOS app that’s preventing folks from editing draft posts.

🌱 Upcoming

As noted over on the WIP blog, we’re working to add a “View previous reblog” option to the meatball menu on reblogs, on web and in the apps. This is actually already rolled out to a small percentage of people using the latest Android app.

Experiencing an issue? File a Support Request and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Submissions open through June 30, 2024 - Mad Dykes, Queer Worlds

Hello all! I'm editing a special issue of the literary magazine Sinister Wisdom titled Mad Dykes, Queer Worlds. If you're Mad –– regardless of personal label or diagnostic status –– and identify with some aspect of dyke experience (in all its multiplicities!), I want to consider your work for publication.

The title links to Submittable, the platform Sinister Wisdom (and most other magazines) use to process submissions. It's free to use, but can be inaccessible for visually disabled people. If that's you, email Sinister Wisdom for alternative submission options.

I am particularly interested in reading work by young/new/emerging creatives, survivors of psychiatric/medical incarceration, and/or those living outside the Global North/West. Visual art and written work are all welcome!

Note: Sinister Wisdom can't pay $; they compensate in a year-long print subscription and complementary copies of the journal. If you only submit to magazines that pay, consider checking out mine, manywor(l)ds.place; we reopen for general submissions June 1.

Feel free to email me with any further questions. Don't self-reject. ID for the image both in the alt text and below the cut.

Mad Dykes, Queer Worlds

What is Madness, and how do we, as lesbian/queer creatives, wield it? Amid much feminist discourse around the figure of the “madwoman,” mostly as an archetype to be avoided or, in some instances, appropriated, in reaction to rational distress under violently cisheteropatriarchal conditions, comparatively little discussion has focused on the lived experience of psychiatric survivorship, iatrogenic harm, and abuse under the sign of “mental illness” or psychiatric disability. Behind and beyond the figure of the madwoman, or the specter of “hysteria,” are the lived (sur)realities of Madpeople of all marginalized genders.

This issue of Sinister Wisdom seeks contributions by lesbian, queer, and/or trans people self-identified as Mad, mentally disabled, and/or psychiatric survivors. Following the portmanteaue coinages “transMad” (Cavar), “neuroqueer” (Walker, Yergeau, and Michaels-Dillon), and “neurotrans” (Smilges), Madness and (gender)queerness are deeply entangled and often inextricable from each other, both as they manifest “inside” us and in our ways of relating to our words, world(s), lovers, and friends.

What, who, and where are Mad dykes, and how do we find each other in a world increasingly oriented toward cisheteronormative, whitewashed wellness? What are the legacies and ongoing violences of queer/trans pathologization in our communities and beyond? How do we live as transMad people amid cissexist, saneist attacks from the reactionary Right? And how do we share, negotiate, or conceal our experiences of trauma, altered realities, and unfamiliar access needs while also building community?

Please submit works of any, all, or no genres, including reviews and interviews, up to 5,000 words, and a short contributor biography between 25 and 125 words. We are also seeking illustrations and photographs (.jpg or .tif files only, print resolution size at least 300 ppi). Please do not send previously published work.

Deadline for submissions: June 30, 2024
