#it's a thing

[artaxlivs]

Were they kidding with this bullshit? Like, seriously? So many gates opening up to different dimensions now that there were too many for Supergirl to close and this? This is what they got? Fuck this. Seriously.

"Are you a virgin?" Mike asked like the total little dickhead he is.

"So what if I am? Aren't you? And the rest of your little friends?" Eddie sniped back at the rude little bastard but then, he blanched, "actually, don't answer that. I don't want to know."

Why did this have to be happening when Eddie was on a perimeter check?

Mike rolled his eyes like he couldn't believe how ridiculous Eddie was being, "Dumbass, we're children. Unicorns never go to innocent children in fairy tales. Because we're all innocent. They go to innocent adults. Virgins." He put far too much emphasis on the word because he is, as mentioned, a little dickhead.

"Listen, fuck you and the unicorn you rode in on. I'm not fucking innocent. I've done...things. Things I'm not gonna tell you about!" Eddie sputtered, crossing his arms and almost losing his precarious balance on the tree branch.

He needed to be careful because there was a unicorn circling underneath him. And not the beautiful, ethereal kind. It was beautiful, sure, but it had blood all over his muzzle and splattered across it's chest and on it's front hooves. Probably from the last virgin it had tracked down in god knows what dimension and trampled slash eaten to death. It's eyes were blazing red fire and it had fangs. Fangs. Fuck. That.

Eddie heard Steve sighing and then he flailed an arm from Eddie's tree branch to Robin and said, "It can't be trying to get you because you're a virgin, it's not going anywhere near Robin!"

The girl in question squeaked. Her ears and cheeks went bright red. All three of them turned to look at her.

"Wait, what? Was it you know who? From the...? You didn't tell me? When did you...?" Steve asked cryptically, shedding absolutely no light on who Buckley was knocking boots with.

"Yes after we met at the...place." Robin supplied lamely and then bared her teeth and said through them, "After. But before we went back in to fight Henry slash Vecna slash One." She shrugged and let out a hysterical sounding giggle. "It was...End of the World Sex. Just in case, you know?"

"Ohhhh I'm so proud of you!" And oddly, Steve really did sound proud. Which was weird. Eddie was pretty sure Robin was gay which meant the caginess was in reference to a girl but the fact that Steve was so supportive was a little suprising.

Without actively thinking about the repercussions, Eddie's mouth decided to test that theory, "Well damn, wish I'd have thought of that. Steve - want to deflower me so this unicorn leaves me alone?" The hysterical giggle Eddie let out rivaled Robin's.

Slowly Steve turned back to him but before he could reply, Mike scoffed, "You are his type. Skinny, big bushy hair, big eyes, you and Nancy both talk like everyone is just waiting to listen to you to speak." He rolled his eyes, "Annoying."

"Rude!" Eddie tilted his head thoughtfully, "You know what though? I'm fine with it. Nancy Wheeler is a badass and I want to be her when I grow up. Or when I get down from this tree." Eddie cringed, staring down as the unicorn stopped and looked up, one of it's flaming eyes bore into him. It neighed, shaking it's gorgeous mane but also splattering little droplets of blood everywhere.

Gross. So gross.

"Huh. Now that you mention it..." Robin stared up at Eddie thoughtfully, "I totally see it."

Steve just dragged his hand down his face and glared at the angry unicorn, "Okay, we need a real plan because Eddie isn't coordinated enough to have sex in a tree." He put his hands on his hips like a baseball mom wondering if she brought enough orange slices and Shastas for the whole team. "Do we know any other adult virgins to lure this one away?"

Mike snorted, "Those are probably more rare than the unicorn.'

Eddie flipped him off, "You're rolling at disadvantage on all charisma and persuasion checks for the rest of time."

"We'll have to find a new DM when the unicorn gores you anyway," Mike shrugged. "Whatever."

Then he wandered off. Just walked away, like Eddie wasn't two feet away from being mauled by a feral beast who's name was probably Glitter Sparkle or some shit. What a dickhead.

Looking away from the unicorn, Eddie watched Robin wave Steve over and whisper to him. They had a hushed conversation for several minutes while Eddie yelled things like, "Wanna share with the class?" and "Good friends don't make shitty plans in secret!" But they ignored him. Bastards.

Until Steve turned to the tree and asked, "By 'things' what do you mean?"

What?

"Harrington, what the hell are you talking about?"

"You said you've done 'things' but not had sex. What things?" Steve brushed a hand through his miraculously still perfect hair, and sighed, obviously frustrated, "We're trying to figure out what the unicorn considers virginity. Robin's never..." He petered off and glanced back at her and then over at Mike who was half way down the block with his radio out, sitting on a bench with his back to them, probably telling everyone that Eddie still had his V card. Traitor.

He was too far away for them to hear his conversation so he was probably too far for theirs.

Robin cleared her throat. "I've never had, you know, penetrative sex. Just...um...uh...third base!" She squeaked again and then covered her face with her hands.

"You're being extremely weird about sex talk while a blood covered unicorn is stalking me like a jungle cat!" Eddie informed her. "Oral. Just say oral sex, you weirdo!"

"Ok fine!" She shouted, "I've given and reciprocated oral sex! Jesus." Then she crossed her arms and grumbled under her breath, tapping one foot on the grass.

Eddie couldn't help it. He laughed with glee. "Was she cute?"

Robin sputtered, mouth dropping in shock.

What? Did she think she was a subtle lesbian? Because she wasn't. Not at all. Her high tops had boobs drawn on them like some twelve year old boy just hitting puberty. He rolled his eyes.

Steve looked up at Eddie then. His eyebrows were arched in that way they get when he's thinking up a plan. They're not always good plans but he carries them out and everyone usually lives so, Eddie could do worse. "Well - Big Boy?" Steve's lips twitched in a smile at using Eddie's nickname for him. "I'm guessing when you said you've done 'things,' you were lying?"

"Yeah, duh." Eddie retorted, snapping in his irritation and mounting fear. Mounting, ha. Like a horse and like sex. Mounting. He bit his lip to contain the very poorly timed giggle.

Robin rolled her eyes, grabbed Steve's arm and gave him a severe 'be careful' look and then hustled over to where Mike was sitting. When Steve tucked his bat into his backpack and started to creep around the tree, he realized she was giving them privacy. Holy shit.

The unicorn didn't even acknowledge Steve's presence as he skirted around it and climbed the tree, grunting and complaining under his breath how nobody better call him the Virginsitter because he swears to God. Then the rest of his grumbling got lost, buried under the sound of Eddie's heart pounding in his ears.

Holy shit.

And that's how Eddie lost his mythically constructed virginity in a tree to Steve Harrington who was apparently bisexual and very, very good at blowjobs.

Neither of them even noticed which way the unicorn went.

I think Sam/Dean as, like, a solid, established relationship would result in Dean being calmer (eventually) and Sam being even more insane. Dean wants to hold hands in the car and Sam is like "actually, I have to eat him, I have no choice"

Spiner's Law (noun)

Spiner's Law, a Star Trek truism, states that "if Brent Spiner can play a new Soong-relative in Star Trek, then he will". The law is often related to the phenomena of TNGentrification: TNGentrification (pejorative) is the process of changing the nature of a Trek series through the influx of legacy characters and nostalgia.

Regarding Hyle Hunt

There's been a little discourse regarding the role one Ser Hyle Hunt will play in Lady Brienne of Tarth's storyline going forward. Some people seem to think that he is her perfect match because they hate the idea that Brienne deserves to have a romance with the man she wants--aka one Ser Jaime Lannister--because that messes with the narrative they want to push, whatever that narrative may be.

Some people think that Ser Hyle Hunt is a more interesting and more remarkable man than he truly is, when nothing he's said or done to this point has shown him to be anything of the sort. Personally, I'm not impressed with a man who set up a bet with his buddies over a young noblewoman's virginity--which was essentially the kiss of death to said young woman, who didn't have much going for her on the marriage mart in the first place. (Don't give me the "men will be men" explanation. That makes you no better than Randyll Tarly.) And his proposal of marriage boils down to: "Hey, baby, you've got an island and a lot of money, I've got a functional dick that's already proven to be fertile. I can close my eyes and blow out the candle. Let's do it." How romantic.

There has been absolutely no indication that Brienne will ever love this man, or even care the slightest for him. Threatening to turn someone into a eunuch isn't playful banter, especially not when said man once bet on her virginity and the last time she confronted someone(s) in that bet, she beat the living shit out of them. She hasn't forgotten, and she really hasn't forgiven. And when it comes to Hyle, she never really will, because in her eyes, what he did was the worst of all of them. He came the closest to winning by doing the one thing none of the others did--he made her feel included, like she might be earning a little bit of respect in that camp. Then she found out it was all a lie.

"But she hated Jaime at first!" Yeah, but that was before Jaime: told a lie about Tarth's wealth to save her from rape; shouted "sapphires" and risked a beating to save her from rape again; risked his own life to save hers by jumping unarmed into a bear pit (with only one hand to boot), and revealed the truth about why he killed Aerys, thus revealing that rather than it being a callous act, he'd saved an entire city of innocents--a noble act. THEN he put his trust in her to find Sansa, gifting her with a horse, armor, and a priceless sword. He gave her the respect Hyle only pretended to give her, expecting nothing in return.

What has Hyle done on their road trip? When Brienne kills the three former Bloody Mummers, I'm curious: how long was Hyle there? At least long enough to see her and Pod burying Nimble Dick, but the way he's described sitting there casually makes me think he'd been there longer. Watching. Sitting back doing nothing while she might've been killed. And we don't know what his true motives are in following her. If she finds Sansa, is he going to help her get Sansa to safety--or is he going to betray her and try to turn Sansa in to the Crown for the reward?

If you want any further proof that she doesn't care about Hyle, think about who she tried to bargain for when Lady Stoneheart was about to hang them all. Not herself, and certainly not Hyle. Podrick, the boy. And when they were hanging, as she was dying. the only person she had eyes for was Pod.

And who did she presumably agree to kill Jaime for? Podrick.

Yeah. She's really going to come around on Hyle.

Very goofy but I like to picture Dean and Cas were waiting out the early years of the apocalypse Endverse style, spending quality down time making their way through Bobby's stash. Some of that stuff was so strong that Cas routinely forgot he was an angel or how to control any of it, and so when he was falling they didn't notice that either.

[queercripintersex]

Oh lovely, there's a perisex person going around the intersex tags who read a bunch of medical literature, a few webpages of one long-defunct intersex advocacy organization, and now thinks they have the authority to say what intersex is, that sex isn't socially constructed (sigh), and that the problems facing intersex people are that we face "misinformation about what being intersex is".

I'm honestly at a loss at how to deal with this stuff. Somebody says they spent many hours reading medical literature, doesn't seem to have read even the most basic materials from intersex studies, openly admits they don't follow any intersex people, and now feels entitled to tell us intersex people that the problems we're facing is that we're getting it all wrong? Seriously?

This sort of hyper-medicalization is actually very seriously part of the oppression that intersex people face! If you want to understand what intersex is you cannot only read biomedical sources and one old intersex advocacy website. You have to read actual works from actually intersex people on the experiences we face. You have to actually listen to a large variety of intersex voices, not just a single one that coveniently doesn’t challenge you or your beliefs.

Because if you did you'd know that being intersex isn't just about physiology, it's also about the social experience of experiencing intersexism. And the hyper-medicalization contributes to the intersexism! 

The hyper-medicalization takes the focus off of the actual social experiences of being intersex, and sets the tone of the conversation about policing categories and diagnoses rather than dealing with oppression, stigma, and isolation.

The hyper-medicalization means that intersex people don’t find the community we need, only furthering the isolation and shame felt by so many intersex people.

The hyper-medicalization means that intersex people are not given the basic respect to be authorieties on who we are, that instead it is doctors and biologists who get to decide what intersex means and that if we feel otherwise (which we so often do) that we are wrong.

Let's talk about the funny way Daniel Brühl sits...

Always found the way Daniel sits with legs open, ankles crossed like he's got the longest legs in the room adorably awkward. He's the only person I've ever observed doing it so I was surprised to read this article on LinkedIn describe what this sitting position says about a person (suggesting that it's common enough to warrant an interpretation):

Body language is neither science nor myth but this sounds quite apt for Daniel's personality, no?

[flannelepicurean]

YOOOOO!!!

WAS NOBODY GONNA TELL ME FOOLS WAS OUT HERE SHIPPING MOTHAFUCKIN SAMURAI JACK AND JOHNNY FUCKING BRAVO?!?!?!?!?!

Granted, I have been summarily informed, and driven further insane than I already am. But FOR REAL!!! I'm upset that it took this long. Or maybe not, maybe I wouldn't have been ready. 😂😂😂

And like...AAAUUUUGGGHHH💖💖💖

You know for a FACT that Jack would see Johnny throw like three poses and be like, "😳 Fuuuck, he's so fast, so precise, his hips are like lightning..." And Johnny would see Jack do LITERALLY ANYTHING and be like, "Hey now, that's pretty keen! Is that a real sword?"

Next thing you know, they're basically riding a tandem bike through the park. And then Johnny invites Jack over for dinner because, well, Mama's gotta meet his special friend, and when Mama opens the door she's like, "Oh. Uh...I thought you were gonna be a lady, for some reason," and they're both like, "HAHAHAHAHAHA, NOOO, WE'RE JUST...uhh...hmm...HMMM...😳" and then Mama's like, "Let's eat!"

And she adores Jack because he's so sweet and polite, and maybe he's not as handsome as Johnny, but he's a darn good-lookin' kid. And eventually someone points out to Johnny that he and Jack are basically dating, or at least that Johnny's acting kinda like an awesome boyfriend would. And Jack obviously likes him, because he's started acting like a total doofus dork when Johnny's around--it's subtle, because of course it is, but trust me, dude.

And at some point they're, like, playing Donkey Kong Country 2 or something, and Johnny's just like, "Hey, are you into guys?" And Jack's like, "...wut.😳" And Johnny's like, "'Cause everybody thinks we're dating." And Jack's like, "...Uhh...is...that...?" And Johnny's like, "I think I'd be okay with that. You're hella cool and I like you a lot. And Mama was right." [SUNGLASSES/EYEBROW] "You're a good-lookin' guy."

Which, indisputably, it's a perfect moment for them to kiss, and they both know it. But Jack's like, "So, uh...I've...I've never," and Johnny's like, "Yeah, y'know what, me neither." And they decide to do some research, and start watching a ton of cheesy romance movies together, and agree to just take it slow.

THERE. DONE. PRINT. BOOM.

😂😂😂😁💖

OC Smash or Pass - Osric Giroux

rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc)

Quick Facts

Height: 6'0"

Age: 32

Gender: Cis Male

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Pros

Loyal - Once you've earned his loyalty and trust there's very little he wouldn't do for you.

Empathetic

Physically Fit (like a good chest? The boy has a good chest)

Gives good hugs

Puts the needs of his partner or those he cares for first (could also be a con?)

Good with his hands

Cons

Stubborn as fuck

Difficulties asking for what he wants/needs

Temper can be explosive if pushed too far

Internalizes and assumes the worst

Details

Is a very good cook - though it's not a skill he's shared with very many people

Prefers quality time with an individual versus big events or large groups - he's fairly introverted and while larger crowed every once in a while are all fine and good, generally they're just not his thing.

He's found in recent months that he enjoys working with animals - wolves specifically. He has three of them that he's currently working with and plans on expanding over the next several months.

He will be absolutely oblivious to anyone being interested in him. He's actually convinced that's just not a thing.

He plays the piano, and plays it well

Sexually - He's not overly adventurous, though he's willing to give most things a shot if his partner is interested in exploring something. At the end of the day he is more interested in tending to the needs and wants of his partner than anything else, something that often times can come back to bit him in the ass. He is a top.

Romantically - At this point? He's pretty shut down romantically, so someone who is very skilled at climbing some walls. Having opened up and been rejected a handful of times, he'd need someone who is patient enough (and committed enough) to allow him the space and time to understand that it's safe to let down those walls and then to actually do so and make a lasting connection.
