Say what you want about Steven Universe but regardless I think seeing an objectively plural character say that they're made of love and saying that sure they could be apart but they don't want to and that being plural is an inherently valuable experience for some people is always going to stick with me.

There's a reason that before mentioning it became synonymous with syscourse (ugh) that so many systems were using it to explain plurality to people and that it was a source of comfort for a lot of us that part of it is always going to be special to me

[ID an image of Utena Tenjou, a pink-haired teenager from the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena. She is trying to pry a stone door open with her fingertips, leaning against it for support as she's close to fainting. There's tears in her eyes and she's grimacing. The image has been edited to have a speech bubble that leads to the original post. End ID]

wait what the fuck living by the sword was supposed to be awesome

Was there ever a news event in our lifetimes that the media fumbled more aggressively than Columbine. They genuinely got every single detail wrong

From reporting that they killed someone for saying she believed in God (a different girl who said she did survived) to not reporting that they sought out students of color while yelling racial slurs - on Hitler's birthday & a day after the anniversary of OKC and Waco - while promoting the idea that you have to watch out for loner bullied nerds. Even though later research shows that the shooters were, in fact, bullies themselves, who had a wide social circle, and they were, you know, Nazis motivated by racism and not the video game Doom (1993).

It's a generational fuck-up, the GOAT of bad reporting bc it's still with us. The narrative of persecution after "she said yes" is a huge reason the evangelical right is like how it is today (they made a biopic that uncritically repeated it just a couple years ago!) & they still push the idea that it's primarily victims who do that sort of thing and not aggressors & people still shared that stupid video of Marilyn Manson saying he'd "listen" until a couple years ago (though the shooters being abusive Nazi creeps would uh, not diminish Marilyn Manson's desire to befriend them, I feel)

RadioApple Week Day 4 - Drinking/Bonding

Just two middle-aged men (time is relative) bonding over silly stuff. Like middle names and shitty family members named Michael.

Headcanon that if Lucifer knows your true name, he can see the human you used to be.

(I saw the name Garreau on a trip to France, and I liked how it sounded.)

Description below the cut!

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Radioapple comic, basic lineart with a bit of shading.

Panel 1: Alastor and Lucifer are drinking at the bar, both absolutely HAMMERED. A: Your middle name is VENUS? L: (slapping Alastor on the shoulder) SHADDUP! SHADDUP! A: (Wheeze Meme face) LUCIFER VENUS MORNINGSTAR L: Well what's YOUR middle name, huh??

Panel 2: Closeup of Alastor's face as he freezes, radio feedback screeching behind him.

Panel 3: Alastor looks away, his face hidden by his hair, and his hands shaking on the bar top. Lucifer quiets, reaching as if to touch Alastor's arm, but thinking better of it. L: Alastor? Hey... Hey, I'm s-

Panel 4: Closeup of Lucifer's face as he stares, wide-eyed, glittering lights surrounding him. A: Michèl. After my father.

Panel 5: Closeup of Alastor's face as he smiles awkwardly. Behind him is an afterimage of what he looked like as a human - darker skin, glasses, and short wavy hair. A: Alastor Michèl Garreau.

Panel 6: Lucifer and Alastor toast their drinks. L: Thank you, Alastor. For sharing that. A: Don't mention it.

Q: In season 5 episode Dark Side of the Moon, Sam and Dean found out that they were soulmates and it was never really addressed after that, so what did they think when they found that out? Jared: I think they knew.

we (transfems) deserve to have spaces online where we can feel safe and where we can thrive.

there's been plenty of discourse recently alleging that we are trying to separate ourselves from the rest of the community by talking abt transmisogyny. but, we're not trying to separate, we are being separated. we are being pushed out of public spaces, and even the spaces where other queer folks are allowed to exist without fear.

and this has an effect on our ability to advocate for ourselves and share our perspectives. it also suppresses our art and the records of our lives, our existence. i'm an artist and aspiring entertainer. I would like to be able to bring a larger audience to my work, i want my work to be able to find folks who can connect with it. how can i do that effectively if so many social media sites are not safe for me? what happens if i get banned, and my profile scrubbed of all content?

i already have a decent following on here, and i feel like the bigger i get on here, the more likely i am to be stripped of everything i have on this site by displeasing the wrong people. my presence online should not be contingent on being a good little tranny with no controversial opinions, who is quiet about my weird kinks. we shouldn't have to be pallettable sterile objects for your consumption just to exist in public spaces, online and offline.

Alright I told myself I wouldn't interact with fandom when s2 came out, and I haven't and don't plan to except to say this about people deciding Caitlyn is the Worst or that the writing is OOC.

As someone who has had a family member violently killed, I cannot stress how much it shakes up everything you thought you were and stood for. My beliefs in proportionate compassionate justice and the rights of all human beings are some of the strongest I have (stronger now because of the way that experience affected me personally), but they were pushed to the absolute limit when it came to an individual who had killed my loved one, showed no remorse, and laughed in our faces outside court, among other things.

People generally like to believe it wouldn't be them or their peace-loving family members being talked down from seriously considering violent revenge, consequences be damned. People like to believe they wouldn't lash out at people closest to them under that pressure, that they wouldn't build walls around the kindest and most sensitive parts of themselves because those parts are the ones feeling pain you never thought possible, that they wouldn't stalk the killer, make notes on all their family and friends, and fuck up their hands punching walls in anger wishing so badly it was flesh and bone because they can't handle the fact that there's no way to turn back time to stop it all from happening. People like to think they're "better" than that. But the reality is messy and painful as hell.

With Caitlyn, she has the added guilt of having actually had the opportunity to stop Jinx before she fired the rocket, but she hesitated just long enough for it to result in the deaths of her mother and other councillors and in the cities being plunged into chaos. Not only that, but the person close to her she's lashing out at is the person who caused her to hesitate, and just so happens to be the sister of the killer.

Furthermore, her behaviour is entirely in character. We have seen her set up as someone who becomes obsessed with achieving a goal and will do pretty much anything she wants to get there. In S1, we agreed with her methods because her goal was exposing and taking down Silco, and because it led to Vi being released. In S2, she's doing a similar thing but it's fuelled by fear and a type of pain she doesn't know how to deal with, rather than being fuelled by a need to prove herself and solve a case, and it leads to her making morally questionable decisions and to hurting Vi. She admits herself, albeit privately to Vi, that she does not know what she's doing and doesn't know how to fill this hole in her chest (and the hole in the city leadership). She has been sheltered from the real world for almost all her life, and as a result she has no experience of functioning or making decisions under this kind of pressure. The real world blew up in her face in the worst way and she was given power and a loaded rifle, and then shoved into an even more elevated position by a very experienced warlord who is manipulating the shit out of the whole situation.

I'm not saying that you have free rein to hurt people when you're grieving and facing extreme stress. (If you think that's what I'm saying then idk I'm not sure there's much hope for you in terms of critical thinking skills). What I'm saying is that Caitlyn is exhibiting pretty normal human behaviour that most people would be susceptible to in those circumstances, not the behaviour of someone who is some kind of heartless abusive bastard.

TLDR: Caitlyn is being written in a way that completely makes sense and is also not OOC, and if someone told me there would be no chance of them reacting in similar ways I simply would not believe them.

This game still has such a hold of my brain

[ablednt]

Eda Clawthorne really is the disabled icon ever though. What can't she do?

She's cursed but with her meds it's manageable. She pulls her hands off for funsies and all of her joints hurt forever. She's plural with the manifestation of her disability. She doesn't want a cure but she does want to be out of pain so nothing ever feels quite right. She was decapitated and just went "this is what happens when you get older"

Her disability alienated her from everyone in her life and she's still learning to accept help and compassion as a result. She rejects abled society and embraces everything they call a failure. She collects little freaks and teaches them to love themselves. She never finished school and is thriving. Her ex partner still desires her carnally. Etc.

SEASON 1 FINALE, PART 2: Southern Comfort Food, Episode 13 - Apple Tartlets

<<PART ONE

(content warnings: hospitals)

ALL OF THAT DRAMA JUST TO REVEAL THIS ONE DETAIL!! I noticed the mistake around the Peach Cobbler episode, and then I had to work it into the story SOMEHOW.

This has been absolute wild ride! And there's still more to come! Season 2 is already in the works, along with a separate new comic series. And of course, fun doodles and stuff in between.

SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD SERIES Chicken and Waffles Sweet Tea Peach Cobbler Hushpuppies Crab/Crawfish Boil Gumbo (plus character notes!) Beignets (part 2) Shrimp and Grits Cornbread Biscuits and Gravy Pecan Pie/Sugar Pie Fried Catfish Apple Tartlets, Part 1

Description under the cut!

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: single comic page, colored

Lucifer lies in a hospital bed, slightly propped up, with an IV attached to his left arm and bandages around his neck. He's wearing a blue hospital gown, tucked among pink bed linens (presumably supplied by Belphegor). A golden blush colors his face as Alastor leans forward and kisses the back of his left hand, looking him in the eye.

Alastor, also blushing a little: And don't think I haven't noticed your wedding ring has been missing from your finger ever since I made you chicken and waffles.

Towards the bottom is a caption: See you in "Season 2" of Southern Comfort Food!
