Maybe rain code Makoto in 3 or 29?

He’s silly and I can see him wearing either.

Was it okay to babygirlify my favorite slutty man just a little? I had to.

Moral Imperative.

also. hate discourse around indigenous knowledge because it's like Yes the indigenous people have knowledge based on historical uses that should be adopted into the mainstream. But then somewhere down the line it becomes "white people can NEVER truly understand indigenous lands, their ancestors came from EUROPE" and its like ok that is anti-immigration & blood quantum rhetoric. people's knowledge do not come from their genetics Nor do they come from ancestor spirits. Why is this a left position

Oh yeah supposedly-left people on tumblr are fucking weird about bloodlines and heritage. I genuinely can't stand it.

In this case it's perpetuating Noble Savage stereotypes about how indigenous people are inherently good and pure and magically connected to the land, instead of literally just being regular people.

A lot of times people insist you need to Find Your Heritage in order to "heal yourself spiritually", which I think is insulting nonsense. And as a mutt with no real intention of finding out my family history, it's really disconcerting to be told that I can't ever really love or understand the place I live, because my great-great grandparents didn't live here. It's extremely anti-immigrant, it reeks of blood and soil nationalism, and I will be ranting against it until the day this website dies.

Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...

...and also being able to read things like THIS:

Positions characters I want to fuck definitely are

Hannibal Lecter: SERVICE. SOFT DOM. TOP. Good fucking LORD he’d leave me a mindless limp mess. Unable to move or think or speak or do anything but lay there under him panting and whining as his cum drips from me. And he can be soft or hard, whatever gets you off. You want praise? He’s gonna do nothing but call you a good boy/girl and how perfect you are, how good you feel, how pretty, how sweet your sounds are, how you belong to him, how you were made for him. Not a brat tamer, can’t fucking stand disrespect.

Cho Sang-woo: Hard Dom Top. That man needs control so bad he can’t even handle having you ride. He needs to be in complete control all the time and he takes. He wants to get you off, yes, but he’s after his own damn orgasm first. Once he’s satisfied he’ll overstimulate you and watch you beg for him to stop whether it’s with his hands or toys.

Hwang In-ho: Service Hard Dom Top. Oh this man loves to have you ride. He likes to see you panting and struggling and withering underneath him. He will leave you a mess just so he can take care of you later. He gets off on the utter control he has over you and can get from you chasing an orgasm. Actively denies and edges even if you hate it.

The Recruiter: HARD DOM TOP. He is MEAN. He doesn’t care if you get off, only if he does and now he is a brat tamer because he uses it as an excuse to be rougher. He’s fucking crazy. He will destroy you and not even care. If you don’t get off at all, he’ll just scoff and say “you’ve got a right hand.” And then go to take a shower.

Erik Destler: Switch. He honestly can do both it completely depends on how he feels. If he’s doming he’s a soft dom who wants to praise you and treats you so gently and is absolutely a service top, sometimes even a stone top. If he’s subbing oh my god he’s a mess. He’s just this soft, sweet pliable little puppy who wants to please and will do anything you say. Please treat him so gently though because he will SOB if you degrad him. Like he will crash and have a breakdown.

Papa V: Soft Dom Top. He wants to be a service top so bad but just gets drunk on the feeling and ends up chasing his own orgasm over and over. After the fact if you tell him you didn’t get off he will cry and do ANYTHING to get you off even if it hurts him.

Copia: Brat Sub Bottom. He tries so hard to be a dom. Like he wants to be, he pretends to be which is where the bratting comes in like its just him pretending to be a dom but he’s not. He’s a sub and a bottom. He is just so utterly pathetic and wants praise. He will worship you, good lord.

Sodo: Switch. If he’s subbing he is a bratty little fucker and will give you so much hell. If he’s doming he’s definitely a hard dom and he likes to put you in so many weird positions. He will wreck you either way and he uses that tail for things it’s definitely not meant for wink wink.

Nihil: SUB. BOTTOM. He’s such a PATHETIC MAN. He’s so fucking PATHETIC. Whimpering under you, begging, crying, shaking, cumming just from your touch. He will just nod and agree with anything you say. A good boy? Yes I am. A dirty slut? That’s me. He’s so mindless and I just MM

Sister Imperator: DOM SWITCH. She is so mommy. She will have you WHIPPED dude. Whether your deep in her pussy or she’s pegging you, you are completely under her control and she is constantly reminding you of that. You belong to her, every inch of you belongs to her and always will. You’re her good little slut, her living sex toy.

Tamaki Suoh: Service Switch Top. Hear me OUT - daddy kink when he’s doming right obviously, soft and loving couldn’t degrade you if he tried. Wants you to feel good and loved and get off more than he wants to get off. But subbing he is your puppy. Genuinely puppy kink. He wants to be your sweet little pup, mindless and loved and fucked until your hearts content. He will obey without a second thought and any way you want him he will gladly let you. Bonus points if you call him a good pup he will literally melt.

Clay Puppington: SUB. BOTTOM. That is a bottom. A brat maybe but a full bottom. Get him on his knees and he will start begging, pleading, crying to be touched, to be petted and loved and fucked until he can’t move. Until he’s broken and wrecked. He wants to be fucked hard, like hate fucked. He literally wants to feel pain in his hips and his dick to throb from overstimulation. He’s got issues and all of them get taken out during sex.

one thing I really enjoy about the good place is its portrayal of not only how difficult but how deeply annoying it can be to follow an ethical code, even when it’s a good one

JRR Tolkien: This is my fantasy race that I invented

JRR Tolkien: They come of age at 33. I've made this a plot point

The fandom: Okay........ but......... obviously they're considered adults at 18-21.

JRR Tolkien: They come of age at 33. Hope this helps <3

The fandom: No, no, no, don't be silly. People become adults at 18-21

JRR Tolkien: In this fictional culture that I've invented people come of age at 33.

The fandom: Okay but clearly what you mean when you say that is something else. I don't know what you mean by it but obviously it's something other than coming of age. Something made up, probably. It's definitely not important.

JRR Tolkien: It's hugely important and I spend a whole chapter setting it up

The fandom: But an 18 year old is an adult, tho......

Don’t put this dumb shit on my dash please. This is not advancing Palestinian liberation or achieving anything remotely materially beneficial to the cause. This is the cheapest most self-serving grandstanding possible on Tumblr Dot Com. Do you really think anyone is saying to themselves “oh gee well those dollars I WOULD have donated to humanitarian aid to Gaza are instead going to AO3.” Come on, man.

[godsfavoritescientist]

I think bill should blow up theraprison forever and ever 👍

[gorillawithautism]

i donated to a campaign today.

did YOU? 🫵

if you didn't, donate to this one that was vetted by @gaza-evacuation-funds i don't care if it's a couple bucks or a couple hundred. even if it's just a couple cents. donate.

if you have time to stress about an election that will kill palestinians either way, then you have time to help them

[rxttenfish]

gonna copy + paste some merfolk information i wrote on the other blog about how i write them because i like it

-

Honestly, while I do talk up merfolk and seeing merfolk as providing the same instinctual and automatic reaction and sensations as seeing a large predator much too close to you, and the deep fear that that provides — that is something that mainly applies to people who are less familiar with Miranda and, thus, less familiar with merfolk. People who are more used to Miranda and have acclimated to being around merfolk a lot wouldn't have that same reaction, or would only really have it in specific circumstances or when they are particularly thinking about it.

Mostly I talk about it a lot just because I'm interested in writing merfolk as truly inhuman, and it's one of those things that I have gripes over in xenofiction. Miranda's expressions aren't human, her body isn't human, none of her reactions are human, and that's a huge gap to try and cover between merfolk and humanoids! It really does feel more like you're talking to a particularly smart tiger, and she breaks a lot of the fundamentals of basic socialization for any other species! It's hard to get comfortable around her for the same reason people often have huge issues with anything that strays radically from the human facial plan or that they can't immediately sympathize with!

This is also the same reason why this starts to go away as people get closer to Miranda — not because she's any less of a merfolk or any more human, but because it's easier to automatically associate what she does with her moods and thoughts and her as a person. It's a degree of familiarity that starts to get so ingrained that it becomes subconscious, not just taught or learned but lived.

Think of it like the difference between someone who doesn't know anything about arthropods, and thus groups them all into "scary" and "frightening", and someone who has learned how to tell them apart, what the different species are and what their different body parts are, how to read their body language, how they move and what they do and how to behave around them. Even if the latter doesn't necessarily have more positive feelings about them, they still no longer possess that immediate jump of "this is not like me and I cannot understand or cope with that."

And, yes, this is why so often the narration and Miranda's actual emotional state or thoughts don't actually line up. Miranda might not think this as anything special and might be comfortable and relaxed, but not every muse will have the familiarity and understanding of her to realize it!

I think the thing that made me Actively Angry as a child when there seemed to be some kind of fucking epidemic of that particular brand of Bad Obnoxious Humor (usually toilet humor, but sometimes Just Bad And Obnoxious) written into children's films was that I was always very aware as a kid that films were things made by adults ever since I saw a credits sequence and asked my dad why some random name was appearing in front of the character from the movie. So it felt like the people making the film were transparently saying 'Yeah, children are dumb and obnoxious, right? They'll see themselves in this and they'll laugh 'cause it's structured like a joke.'

Like I cannot express to you enough how much simmering rage was contained in my tiny child body whenever I found a joke in a piece of children's media bad and obnoxious and gross for no reason; I would see it and emotionally go, 'You People Know How To Make Things Good And Pleasant!!!! I know you do I've seen Finding Nemo and Thomas the Tank Engine!!!! You're doing this to spite me.'

And it still makes me actively angry, btw, I'm just now angry on behalf of the unfortunate children subjected to horrible art that does not value them.
