im not at all for policing people's bodies and privacy, but like sumn I noticed when it comes to these public sex/masturbation posts is that white queers have kinda this sense of entitlement paired with a victim complex that can only be ascertained with being a person with white privilege on an axis of oppression. that any actions they engage in don't require critique or nuance. like I can see the disparity between the opinions of white ppl vs non black ppl vs black ppl on these types of topics. I saw this a lot as well when people kept ramping up those 'if you're pro gay and pro kink you have to be okay with ALL kinks' type posts. some people just have a sense decorum when it comes to these things and i don't think that automatically means they're playing into respectability politics or are 'puritans' or got internalized homophobia/transphobia.

Sometimes it's actually less Cringe to be like, "Yeah I love this children's show made for children" than to get so insecure about it you're like "No you don't understand it's SO DAAAARK and SERIOUS and DICTATORSHIP STATE ALLEGORY"

cassandra & clytemnestra

class doodles <3

cassandra: super proud of how she turned out!! i love noses so much and ive managed to give her a really glorious one today. she got a few compliments too hehe

clytemnestra: idk how well ive managed to depict it lol but cly is both mourning iphigenia and planning out her vengeance. its going to be a long 10 years but she will have her killers blood.

--

i still have a long way to go till i finish the iliad so i dont know everyones story yet, i do know however that cly like many before and after her arent often portrayed with the complexities that make them them, that make them human, but instead as paragons or pariahs. and i think theres lots to be said on the matter, but i dont want to get ahead of myself lol. anyway enjoy :D

Sometimes I think about how c!Tommy literally stole the axe of peace for no fucking reason despite c!Techno asking for it back in an honestly rather civil way right after Tommy literally turned his back on Techno to be murdered by an angry mob (a mob that Techno minutes before said he'd fight for Tommy's safety if needed) which is just like... a jackass thing to do... and then I think about that one c!Techno hating inniter who tried to justify that because 'Techno didn't deserve the ax' LMAO

i hope ruby gets a well-that’s-alright-then-style notdeath. on the one hand it will make haters mad because oh no not another companion with an impermanent end (and i like to see haters mad) on the other it would require creativity to depict this in a new way + i love all the implications i love the dark fairytale quality of these companion exits i love my un-undead schrodinger’s women

with the way the legend of ruby sunday is titled… legends aren’t usually told about living people. legends are stories of the bygone past, of an age long since over, fictionalised and overgrown with folklore like barnacles sticking to an abandoned shell. there is such a thing as a living legend, but they’re exceedingly rare. the unmistakeable raven’s call in the 73 yards teaser, the trailer’s cut to fifteen crying alone after promising to cherry he’d protect her daughter… the foreshadowing is clear as day…

and yet. there’s one massive HOWEVER. ruby appears in s15: millie’s been spotted on set filming it. which leads me to believe — the doctor isn’t one to take the time travel route and revisit companions that in his future are genuinely dead. that would hurt too much, it would cause unnecessary trauma and could break the timeline. that must mean ruby stays alive in some way. ish. she’s alive and a legend and a mystery. girl-ballad girl-song girl-paradox

here she is, fading out.

p.s.: thesis statement on moffatgirls from the tags i left on somebody else’s post about charley pollard.. well it belongs here since it’s basically the semiotic hurricane swirling around ruby at the moment :)

i think a lot of people oversimplify the concept of "bury your gays" to just mean killing off any queer character when as i understand it, it's much more about killing off the (only/main) queer character in an arbitrary way, often for shock value, to motivate the straight character(s), or to remove the queer character as a complication. if eight people die and one of them is gay that's not a bury your gays. if there are eight gays and one of them dies that's not a bury your gays either. not burying your gays doesn't necessarily mean they all live and killing them off isn't inherently/automatically a bury your gays

[petshopbutch]

sometimes i think ive discovered some new personal sexual fantasy of mine, some new untapped kink ive not explored, but then i think about it in any amount of detail at all and like the mystery gang unmasking the baddie at the end of the scooby doo episode it's. just my fucking humiliation kink. again

[isa-ghost]

🧍 how am i, someone who wasn't technically a cQ girlie, writing better analyses and understanding ccQ's finale choices better than some people who were supposedly obsessed w him

[robotpussy]

not excusing bell hooks for being a landlord but hm how are you a marxist or even a stalinist saying we should never touch bell hooks' work ever again because of this. like why do you have so much to say? unless you're an actual extremist and radical and you're actually about it I'm calling misogynoir and walking away because how are most of the ppl doing this, non-black ppl talking to black ppl about this as if we have not been having these conversations without your sticky annoying selves inserted in the convo forever acting like you're doing ppl a favour

[frankensteincest]

my two cents on the whole ‘evil isn’t interesting to explore in fiction’ take is that (1) yeah it’s a non-issue and this stance seems to me like an extension of the mandarin-sharing, horror is for love, make everything nice and simplistic trend and (2) in the cases when it is an issue. well, I think morality is an interesting concept actually, and good and evil are a part of it. evil has just occasionally been written about in deeply uninteresting ways. blame the interpretations, not the concept.

every other week or so im struck with the powerful urge to become an editor on the limbus wiki. its been an uphill battle every time i see smth that i know and isnt on there or that could be fixed. but holy shit would i never do anything else

[dkettchen]

I've finally got around to actually filling in my own response and just a heads up that while they say it only takes like 20 min to complete, if you, like me, have about 8 years worth of shit to complain about, it may take you several hours instead 🙃

Calling all trans, nonbinary, detrans, etc folk who've used adult GIC services in England within the past 5 years/are currently an adult GIC patient! The NHS is having a survey!!

NHS england is having a survey for trans ppl who've used the adult gender services within the past 5 years, be sure to respond before the 19th January 2025!

Here is also transactual's sign post & preparatory comments on it if you wanna look at those

This is a survey done *by the nhs*, they've listened to a decent chunk of the feedback from trans charities (transactual worries abt the remaining questions around detransition and regret, but let's just re-demonstrate how rare it is, like we end up doing anyway in any survey that ever checks about that, while letting detrans folk have their say too @ transactual smh), and this will give us UK-specific, healthcare-specific stats to help with the current trans healthcare crisis we're facing, so MAKE SURE TO FILL IT OUT IF YOU QUALIFY and do so as honestly/sincerely as possible!

This is regardless of nationality, obviously, as we all use the NHS, including non-UK-citizen UK residents like myself. When I say "UK trans folk" I always mean "any trans folk in the UK"

All this 'losing the idgaf war' talk but it doesn't read like that to me? He doesn't rly give any new information it seems more like simply sticking to the things he's believed in since 2015 which tbh stubborn and delusional af but idk

[karmaphone]

seeing some of this egg discourse it's like. I think some of you have rancid friends and/or have whacked out perceptions of how interactions with other people go and what they Mean

[kalique]

i’m not gonna reblog anything on the topic or name names but that person who said people who haven’t kissed anyone are loser freaks or whatever and then, when people started saying “hey man that’s mean and childish,” doubled the fuck down and started saying shit like “well i have a wife and i kiss my wife all the time and if you don’t have a wife you’re a fucking loser,” is surely among the most deeply unpleasant and dorky individuals on this website

[c1trvswurld]

Well to be fair that's fanfic in general. These are barbie dolls and inevitably people are gonna make them scissor and kiss sloppy. But with that I do counter back a little and say they DO have chemistry and thats the fucked up part. Pre crash they are the closest on the ship and that is seen in how the interact and talk and joke. Even the way jimmy sits in the seat curly is supposed to sit in as captain and vice versa. It's implied they've known each other for a hot minute and possible back on earth.

Curly is a doormat for jimmy to walk on and jimmy is a physical and mental anchor for Curly. I can see them being codependent (fwb? Qpr? Platonic? Romantic etc etc?) before the crash, before the tulpar, before all of that. They are both fucked in the head a tiny bit (some more than others lol) and I suspect that is why curly doesn't blow his top off when he talks to anya.

But in all honesty, anyone has full right not to fw a ship for any reason, but I do see it? Like what others could see in the pairing. Less of romance and more of a dynamic you can watch in a hamster cage. A tragedy play that you still sit down and watch bc it's interesting af

One thing about the jimmy curly toxic yaoi situation that I've found extremely funny is how ive seen more people get pissed and complain about it of it but havent really seen it

In fact I've maybe seen...eh give or take 3 pieces of fanart on here and I'm stretching it thin rn
