#just a series of observations.

[butcharium]

over the summer I have mused a bit over how different cultural contexts interpret me, a butch woman, differently. Like when I've been visiting Spain with my gf to see her family there I am often adressed as a man by people we interact with out an about, whereas at home I get the impression that by far and large I am mostly seen as a woman (but not always as I'll come back to). When I lived for a very short while in central Europe, my peers expressed wonder why I, Just Some Guy as they consistently thought, never corrected those who oh so persistently adressed me as Ms. [redacted].

There's also a certain rural-urban divide, at least I think it has mostly been when in cities in Spain that people mostly have seen me as a woman (or are plain confused despite my gf talking about me using female gramatical gender), whereas elsewhere I have been seen more as Just Some Guy. When I've visited rural relatives at home I think I am more often seen as a guy by strangers than I am at home in the city, but also they have a surprisingly large room for female masculinity as they're very wont with practical and tough women (just don't be a lesbian about it). In the city I live in I am relatively often asked about my pronouns when I meet new people, in a way which reveals that they clearly don't think I'm a cis man, but they're also rarely able to hide a cerain air of surpisement when I tell them that I'm a woman. Sometimes I am seen as Just Some Guy, but with inconclusive data that seems to often be from people who appear to have moved here in adulthood.

I do think that it is more often in cities that I am mostly seen as a woman (/not a cis guy), which seems to speak of a greater range of how women dress being normal maybe, with the great exception of the big central european city I lived in where I someties felt I was seen as Just Some Guy really most of the time.

To be fair to the Spaniards tho, I've personally rarely seen women there with my features like narrow hips, stocky build, rather square face, whereas I see this in the women around me at home all the time. In central Europe I got the impression that it was mostly about social conservatism. Then I must admit , though, that I really am amongst the top percentiles of hairy european women, with sideburns and a moustache, and stubble under my chin, but with a certain bias I will say that this is handled the best at home

Hm. Will Byers may fear a lot of things, but lying isn't one of them.

Gentle reminder that Cardan, who could usually tell Taryn and Jude apart, mistook Taryn for Jude when she was wearing the beautification earrings. Meaning Cardan sees Jude as the hotter/prettier twin.

💝 MetaDede Week 2024 Day 3: Gifts 💝

(ID: Kirby series fanart of King Dedede and Meta Knight giving each other a gift. Top - the boys sitting side-by-side, MK looking up with a pleased smile behind his mask as DDD excitedly flips through a green leather-bound book the knight has given him, the spine titled “Fight the Stars!” and an arrow pointing to it that says “book of famous intergalactic wrestlers.” Bottom - the boys seated at a table, a chocolate parfait in a large handled glass between them, the treat layered with fudge, mousse, and ice cream, topped with brownie bites, edible silver pearls, and a fanned wedge of chocolate emblazoned with MK’s mask. MK, delighted by the gift, leans forward with wide eyes and spread wings, practically leaping onto the table in his eagerness to dig in, while DDD reclines with his elbow propped up and his head resting in his hand, gazing at the knight with a soft smile. END ID.)

Parfait inspired by various MK-themed desserts from the Kirby Café.

to kishimoto's credit, it's genuinely so impressive how much staying power the designs in naruto had, given how many of them were literally just "guy with startlingly normal hair in a uniform that is identical to the uniform worn by 10 other guys*"

*: itself being a variant of a uniform worn by 100 other guys

the difference between Martyn's canon Minecraft character and his canon Fortnite character is so funny like

here's @applestruda and @cherrifire 's designs for Minecraft Martyn! (great work, lovely, stunning)

and here's Fortnite Martyn. this is a completely and totally different genre of person. in Cherri and Bee's designs Martyn is capable of independent thought. he's a blond man versus a blond man. this is NOT about the skill of the Fortnite artist because it's a great drawing, but this is a entirely different dude. i know that this character is a separate guy but's fun to see side-by-side. look at him

One of my favorite things about Lestat is that no matter his mood, he will act defiant. Even when complying. The verbal agreement you'll get will be said with insult attached. Even when in deep mourning. The vulnerability will be shown with a snarky remark.

This makes his rare acts of complete earnest all the more satisfying.

local guy claims intellectual superiority by declaring people who criticise veilguard just haven't played long enough and don't really know what bad writing is. it must be very peaceful to have such an empty head.

when I look at the dungeon meshi trailers it very much literally feels like the animators are fresh from the hentai business but they were instructed to channel it all into how they draw soup

Give it up, Mags - it’s like asking a fish to stop swimming.

(ID: Kirby series fanart comic of Magolor and Marx having a typically heated conversation inside the Lor Starcutter. Top panel - Magolor hovers on our left, squinting in frustration with anger lines zigzagging from his head, one hand clenched in a fist at his side, the other pointing forward towards our right. He says, “Marx, if you keep making outdated meme references, I’m kicking you off my ship.” Bottom panel - Marx stands on our right, unbothered by the wizard’s threat, wearing a pair of sunglasses held in place with tape, sparkles flickering by his head. In alternating red and blue letters, he says, “That’s not very cash money of you.” END ID.)

Random sleep deprived thought/theory, this may have already been stated before by someone else and I just haven't heard but

Wild Life series. What if it's like a Truman Show type of thing and the world boarder is just a one-way window for the Watchers to observe the players?

Imagine the Watchers staring back at Scott and the other Gs + their creaky neighbour BigB when they find that Nether portal just out of the boarder (Scott's ep1, 22:40)... They're staring at each other and have NO idea.

Tsc 2 should end with the Trojans winning the championship just like how tkm ends with the foxes winning
