ok so realistically i know theres important character reasons Kendra (and Seth and Warren by extension) never suspect Gavarog. It’s the old society trick to set up threats as team bonding exercises, etc, etc. plus this is a new and unfamiliar world thats rapidly overtaking her real world and replacing all her existing relationships, and right now Gavarog’s like the only member of her magical-worl peer group, so she doesnt want him to be a traitor, just like she didnt want Vanessa, her only female mentor to be a traitor, etc , etc.
but also i wholeheartedly 100% believe that every time Gavin did some truly bizarre, weird ass shit Kendra was just like. damnnnn…. average home school kid behavior.
#like fr tho#is it not just#damn why is this kid whose always telling me about his social anxiety somehow not even a little anxious when we’re actually doing shit#also why is he simultaneously the cockiest motherfucker alive#oh right he grew up on a preserve#damn did this fucking teenager just casually offer to carry a full grown man on his back while jumping at full speed over ledges???#damn i always knew homeschool kids are freaks#like maybe this is my mormon background showing#but everyone knows the stereotypical homeschool kid (tm) right??#fablehaven#why does this kid just casually seem to know what hes found more than every actual grown adult on this dragon preserve?#well shit it this is what he was doing instead of algebra#this poor kid#his father should be in jail#oh shit kendra you cant say that navarog ate his dad 😬#why didnt he laugh at my meme refrence?#damn his dad was probably just like grandpa#has he ever even seen a computer before?#…… tbh breaking kendras stream of thought here#but shit maybe im more sleep-deprived than i thought

Thinking that Filbrick always loved Ford and always hated Stan is like, you didn’t watch the same show I did.
#Why would a stereotypical Greatest Generation tough guy prefer the little math nerd to the little boxer in the making?#Neither of them impressed him much or often#He rated his kids according to their ability to succeed and make money for the family and Ford was on the verge of that success#He was angry at Stan for blowing Ford’s big break while not being successful himself#Dad of the year he ain’t but I think he really thought Stan would eventually ride back with a million bucks just like Stan thought he would#And I think Stan maybe could have even done it if he hadn’t wound up trapped in Gravity Falls for 30 years#Gravity Falls#He had to basically have the teacher explain to him what he could expect from each of his sons��he did not prefer Ford#This man found out he had two new babies instead of the expected one and he just named both of them “Stan” that tells you everything#Anyway do not get me started on Homer and Bart and Lisa because that would require a three-month college-level history course

Unpopular opinion im not brave enough to post on main: dan looks so much better with shorter hair :( also the slight shaved sides are so hot 🥵 obvs not the dystopian daily shaved sides those were awful lol
anon you've come to the one place where you're not swinging a bat at the hornet's nest 😂
i think his hair is at its best a little shorter than this with the slightly shaved sides too 😔
#everyone was like yes! no haircut before tour#and i was like. oop. 😳#they can do whatever they want but dan seems to agree. he likes it a lil shorter. with a good fade#tangentially related but idk why the popular hairstyle has become like. marilyn monroe hair for guys 🤣#like do what you want go off. but like. every person or character is edited to have these flowing curly locks and i just. dont understand#i need someone to explain it to me#cause i get the theory behind it. breaking free of stereotypically masculine haircuts and having agency. thats fine#but why does it have to look bad 🤣#anyway i digress#dnp#c.text#dan and phil#phan#answered#dnptit

when a regretevator headcanon pisses you off so much that you become a feminist
#i wish this was a joke i really do#but like. transmasc bive really made me think about why i was so happy to have a character like bive#and why it is so rare to find interesting/funny female characters in media#and how even when a female character isnt just pathetic and weak shes always still responsible or at least aesthetically pleasing#in a way that male characters dont tend to be a lot of the time#and that just got me thinking more about how women tend to act in mainstream media (indie projects often arent prone to this)#and why i worry about getting bullied for things like not caring about my clothes and not wearing makeup and allat#in a way that the boys in my school just. dont need to care about#and how nearly every girl i know cares about their appearance in some respect and none of the boys i know do#transmasc bive feels like someone saying “a well written female character who doesnt adhere to the expectations of society? nah thats a man#CANT I JUST NOT ADHERE TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF SOCIETY AND ALSO USE SHE/HER IN PEACE???? GOD#and im not saying that transmasc people go through less than women do because thats not true#nor am i saying that transmasc people dont deserve rep!!! i think trans rep is a great thing when youre not slapping it on a character that#is breaking gender stereotypes by being a woman#i just think. what a coincidence that people headcanon bive as transmasc more than any other female character in regretevator.#and why do they headcanon the canon she/her character as transmasc instead of transfemme. IM IN FAVOUR OF TRANSFEMME BIVE!!!#i cant speak on behalf of the trans community in general but like!! transfemme people deserve recognition too!!!#make prototype transmasc! make infected transmasc! make MR transmasc for all i care!#heck make mozelle transmasc if you want! we stan gender non comformity here!#but bive? BACK THE FUCK OFF#please dont take away my well written gender non conforming female character away from me#shocker! not all girls who dont care about their appearance or being feminine turn out to be transmasc! some are Just Like That!#i got carried away there#i typed all this out on christmas day but im gonna post it later because. rambling about feminism and bive isnt very uh. christmasy

please pick friends u can argue or have misunderstandings with and actually communicate with immediately after like, it’s so fucking important
#like if anything I’ve learned the last couple years is fucking communicate#like actually#my family isn't really big on it and that's probably part of the reason I started writing so young#tried to break that with my niece and was mostly successful we fight but can actually discuss and work things out and talk#I always have encouraged her to express her damn feelings because my stereotypical scorpio sister is in there too so I had to drag it out#and I can be the same it’s hard for me but I try harder now than before#I’m always honest with myself but expression is hard I get it#like we fought the other day and when she came home l expected her to just go in her room#and she just stood there and looked at me like well??? like that one meme haha#and we talked instead#gotta break those generational curses man#but yeah holding people accountable and calling them out is needed sometimes and also apologizing and talking it the fuck out#even if it sucks….do it#set boundaries and u allow what u allow#I’m at the point of my life I just won’t tolerate certain things and that’s valid but also without communication#you’re not moving either way with clarity and clarity is everything#it’s ok to move on from any kind of relationship but were u honest first? was there clarity#and if nothing changes or you can’t find peace you can move on and compartmentalize that loss better because u tried first#I get some reasons don’t warrant any of that but overall#but yeah I do word things like a straight up bitch sometimes and yes u should tell me hahah#can piss eachother off and misunderstand eachother#but there’s paragraphs coming and that’s the important bit#I’m still learning but better than I was

i always wondered why in anime or manga whenever they have artist characters they always like. exclusively eat instant noodles and food that's quick to make and eat.
anyway im eating a giant bag of crisps and drawing simultaneously rn
#thats my dinner that's what im having for dinner#oh god im becoming a stereotype. kanade proseka i finally understand u#DONT WORRY I EAT ENOUGH. I THINK.#listen this art looks too cool for me to take a break from drawing it#ALSO ITS RUNO AGAIN. WHY IS MY RUNO ARTWORKS ALWAYS MY FAVOURITES AND MY GO TO#i love her but shes not close to being a favourite and yet i think shes the bakugan character i draw the most#maybe its bc her design is pretty easy to draw and very bright#i love being 22 actually i can do stupid shit and no one can stop me

I made this blog mainly as a place to store art + memes for my fandoms and doodles of my original stories. I’ve posted a lot of the former, but none of the latter, so… Here you go? Have some goofy “incorrect quotes” inspired jokes of a project of mine called The Name-Oath.
Context is indented and italicized, but you can probably read through the doodles below without getting too confused if you skip it:
The first half of the actual plot is your standard fae romance starring a human woman who doesn’t realize the male lead is a supernatural creature, and just thinks he’s really into cosplaying alone in a mansion in some freaky forest. The second half is rom-com shenanigans between the divorced human woman and male lead after the world's ugliest breakup. He desperately tries to get back together at every waking moment and she just wants to hang out with her bestie Summer and raise her half-fae daughter in peace. The human woman is named Eglantine, but goes by Egg. She got stuck with the nickname during high school and decided to start going by it in an effort to have a more "average" sounding name. This did not work as intended, but it certainly helped her avoid getting her name stolen when she first met the male lead. She's something called a skipwitch. This is a whole worldbuilding thing I'm not going to get into here. The male lead is named Kieran. He is a drama king. He spent several centuries under magical house arrest. He can talk to rats. He has pretty hair. This is all you need to know about him, except maybe the fact that he's royalty. Summer is Egg's best friend, and she is the resident fae expert in her and Egg's coven. Competitive and protective of Egg. She hates Kieran's guts, and the feeling is mutual. Egg and Kieran's daughter is named Violet, but she goes by Froggy. She is a terrifying force of nature by virtue of being the offspring of a skipwitch and Unseelie prince. Enjoys microwave pizzas, her pet beta fish, video games, and getting her way. Alois is Kieran's invisible butler. He's a surprisingly talented singer.
#I've had this sitting in my drafts for ages bc I was too nervous to post it. oops.#That one comic wasn't an exaggeration btw--- Egg DID survive her first encounter with Kieran despite not knowing magic existed#She kept evading all the stereotypical Fae tricks like asking for your name / trying to get you to eat and drink Fae food#COMPLETELY by accident#Like.#“Hello there. May I have your name?” “Just call me Egg dude. Everyone does it."#“Would you stay a moment and have a drink with me?” “No thanks I just want to use your phone so I can call a friend to pick me up.”#Kieran was spent a lot of the evening they met being very angry that none of his tricks were working.#And then he later found out it wasn't that they weren't working because this mortal woman knew exactly how to slither her way past them---#she had NO CLUE what she was doing.#He is even angrier when he learns this#and his anger is compounded by the fact#that he is developing a crush on the mortal woman who he's been trying to woo to break a curse on himself#and she is not at all wooed despite his best efforts#Like. At all.#His plan to break the curse has backfired horribly.#Oh “Lady Killer in Love” trope how I love thee#stuff by sofie#The Name-Oath#fae folk#fae#faecore#fae romance#fantasy romance

AHA
I am not going crazy. Having excess beta brainwaves IS correlated to ADHD symptoms (in children and adolescents), specifically metacognition issues, inattention, and irritability:
#This is one study; but it’s interesting that usually the stereotype is having high theta; but that hasn’t really been proven#because correlation ≠ causation#which doesn’t mean much for the beta thing either but STILL#They were looking mainly for high theta and found a lot of diagnosed ADHD kids with high beta and no ODD#I want my brain readings. I want my brain readings n o w#Two more days. I bet they’re gonna say I don’t have ADHD because of the high beta#I bet they’re gonna say I just have anxiety#Again EEG isn’t alone a proven method to diagnose ADHD but I took a written diagnostic too#so maybe this is just to determine what medications will work???? idk I definitely passed the personal history test lmfaoo#But I have a bad feeling I’m gonna get shrugged off#because when they were asking me questions I felt like they were cutting my answers short a little#but that could be because I was infodumping#But yeah my beta power with eyes open is 5.70 and the normal range (if I’m reading it correctly) is 3.65–0#Beta is supposed to be related to focus so maybe it’s possible that some ADHD people are TOO focused on too many things at once#which leads to focus issues VS some have “sleepy brains” with high theta which can’t focus on anything???#idk#ehehehehe feed me scientific studies and numbers#yummy#Yeah it’s not that my brain “runs slowly and is spaced-out” it’s that I can’t get it to stop accelerating and latching onto everything#and in order to do one thing I have to rip the suction-cupped tentacles of my brain off five different things before I can focus#which LEADS to anxiety because I can’t always peel myself away from everything else so I’m just stuck there#like a statue#trying in vain to break out from the inside#hence the anxiety

cis people shut up about trans gnc people challenge
level: (apparently) impossible
#whatever happened to the 'shut up and you wont sound stupid' rule#oh ur praising cis gnc men all the time for wearing makeup or skirts#you are fucking drooling when h*rry st*les wears a skirt or whatever#but the second i wear a fucking dress i am apparently faking being trans for attention#what else should i do then to prove to you im truly trans? start fixing tires? get really into football?#the way that y'all are so against gender norms and all that shit#but then violently try to push us into the most rigid gendered boxes based on stereotypes ever#give me a fucking break#archer's unrelated

thinking about how much damage stuff like the alberta report did to us as a society and i am still mad about it and this was within my lifetime. the report may no longer exist but everyone on social media continues to parrot it so it might as well be still alive and kicking.
#i took an extra long lunch break today because this is wearing on me so much#they comment how the reason queer adults dont reach out to queer youth is as you would expect#one part terror that theyll be plastered with the Recruiter stereotype#one part shame about their own adolescences#but it must be better now it has to be#when i was a kid the idea of having an adult mentor never once occurred to me#even though everything i was reading in the process of finding a name for myself was written by and mostly for adults at the time#hapo reads queer history#hapo reads canadian history#shame shit different day but i like to think we have a few more people with shovels#and a few more people with a desire and knowledge about turning that shit into fertilizer#i can hope. i can try to be one of those people.#i see these comments and these whining adults crying about pride displays and i want to shake them#we have been having these discussions for decades and when we invited you we were ignored#now suddenly you want a seat at our table????? piss off#anyway this is a small part of why i do what i do

this post was supposed to be a lighthearted post about aspec people by highlighting them in a joking way that still instills positivity and pride in the identity .
unfortunately too many people are too chronically online and media illiterate to realise that so let’s break down the post.
‘shout out to the people not having gay sex this pride month’
this was intentionally a worded to counter the ‘have lots of gay sex this pride month’ jokes and positivity that surround pride discussions. The wording directly associates with anti-queer activity and their frequent attempt to divert attention from queer people during the month of pride. it is worded intentionally. it is supposed to seem counter active to pride .
the humour is then seeing a pride flag. specifically the asexual flag- in which case this stands for an umbrella term across the aspec community which is more recognisable than the variety of aspec flags that i had seen whilst looking for a flag for this post . the grey line of the asexual flag stands for the spectrum between allosexual and asexual it represents the degrees of asexuality and in so, with the purple, stood for the aspec community in this post.
if the joke is still lost on you, the idea was to read a statement that counters the idea of queer pride and find it recontextualised to humorously represent an identity associated with the lack of sexual attraction; ergo no gay sex .
what this post is NOT, is a comment on varied asexual attraction. it us not a commentary on what makes a valid asexual person or whether or not you specifically will have sexual inter course this pride month . it is not saying asexuals are not allowed to have sex . this post is pushing any stereotype of asexuality . op is a sex having aspec person. i am demisexual . i have been with my partner for almost 2 years and engage in sexual activity .
what this post IS, is a joke. it’s a fucking joke i cant make it any clearer. not every single joke is going to relate to your own experiences and that’s ok. not every post about asexuality is going to relate to your own experiences that’s ok. you need to stop taking things at face value and actually engage in some media literacy to understand when something is a reductionist and stereotyping commentary which is inherently negative and when something uses a reductionist approach to convey humour because a lot of you really seem to be struggling with that one.
i fear a lot of you take yourselves too seriously and can’t find the humour in simple tumblr shitposts to the point where i’m having to actually explain what i thought was a very easy concept to grasp because it has upset a lot of people . stop taking everything so seriously .
if you are offended by the original post that is actually a you problem. that is something you have to work on where you cannot accept any form of lighthearted media that does not directly align with your own experiences . bc it’s not serious . it’s a joke x
also allo people can fuck off bc this is literally a post celebrating aspec ppl idc if your gf lives across the country or if you’re just a single loser this literally has nothing to do w u
yall make me want to kms for making me do this

Okay not gonna lie this break up reason and phrasing in recent Oliver's interview leave bad taste in my mouth
#911 abc#911 spoilers#I'm just really hoping I'm reading it wrong#because ew#like okay I knew they are not gonna last#but is it has to be “you are going to break up with me eventually bc you're baby gay and don't know what you like so I'm gonna do it first”#“buck is bisexual so we'll go guy guy girl girl guy guy” can we PLEASE don't phrase it like this??#like I'm all for buck having healthy casual sex!!#but this whole buck is bi now so he need to fuck around to figure himself out kinda leave poor taste in my mouth#reminds me too much about biphobic stereotypes#but maybe its not that deep#its just a wee woo show idk what we expected#that its not gonna be messy??#i wouldn't expect anything less

#tag talk#just got a really stupid and mean ask that I'm not even going to bother to answer properly. you get deleted.#this tumblr is not for political activism. this tumblr is an escape from life and a tool for finding beauty in the world#you do not get to guilt trip me into turning my carefully curated space into whatever you want#I try to steer clear of sharing political and humanitarian crisis stuff because I want my page to be safe for me.#y'all can unfollow me if you don't vibe with me but I live here. I live in my own head and I'm holding on as best I can#and turns out. being constantly emotionally triggered by genocide and corruption and the like makes it really hard for me to not kill myself#I try to stay educated. I try to know what's going on. but I need a break sometimes#and you don't know my life. you don't know the conversations I have with really shitty coworkers.#the times I've shut down that one really annoying hardware associate who repeats shitty republican talking points#you don't know about how I advocate for civil justice in real life. and strive to teach kindness to the people around me in my life#you just show up and look at my blog and call me insensitive because I don't share refugee gofundmes#and any current events and political stuff I do share I try and tag for anyone else like me who is not in the right space to see it#this shit is hard. living in a world that wants you dead. that grinds your bones for profit.#I do my best to mock antiunion sentiment at work. to call out my coworkers who stereotype customers.#I try and be a kind and loving person#so you don't get to knock on my door and call me a piece of shit for not performing my politics in a way you enjoy#and you'll never see this because you're blocked. but I need to get this vented somehow because you've said out loud the pressure I feel#you've put into words the unspoken pressure I feel that I'm not doing enough. that I need to try harder.#that all the good I do in my life isn't worth anything unless I do it someone else's way.#disrespectfully - fuck you
