Ballarat drivers are quite bad, for sure, but it's mostly just a general lack of interest or skill. The only real peculiarity to set them apart is the fact that, despite the overwhelming number of roundabouts in Ballarat, none of the drivers ever seem to have faced one before, rushing up to meet each one as if it were an intersection with Give Way signs at every other entrance, and only stopping if it becomes blindingly obvious that such a headlong rush will get them immediately obliterated.

Melbourne drivers, on the other hand, are bad in a way that demonstrates some level of skill. The thing is that they take any trace of hesitation or uncertainty as either a submissive act or a hostile one, depending on whether they can just blow past you, or are stuck waiting for you while you take a fraction of a second to check who has right of way here.

Drivers in New South Wales are right at the other end of the scale. Many of them seem like they've never seen a car before - certainly they have no familiarity with indicators, or lane markers, or speed limits. DEFINITELY not speed limits. And they really don't seem like they're having a good time.

This lack of skill is very slightly alleviated around Sydney, though, because Sydney drivers at least know about something - they know about tailgating. Unfortunately, they haven't heard that it's a bad thing, so given half a chance, a Sydney driver will rush right up behind you, tootling their horn and flashing their headlights to demonstrate all they've learned. Sweet, in its way.

Anyway, that's how my trip up the coast went. And if I never have to drive again, it'll be too soon.

Hi, yes, who decided when making humans that we should be able to accidentally move our ulnar nerve out of place?

[transmascissues]

in 2024 i want to see more songs sung in t voices, more grown-out t scruff, more hairy tits and top surgery scars, more gay sex involving t dicks and pussies, more cutting each other’s hair when the hairdressers can’t get it right, more helping each other with t shots and sharing extra bottles of t gel, more passing down binders and post-surgery pillows like family heirlooms, more crackly laughs and excited voices that don’t know how loud they are now, more proudly showing off phallo scars like we show off top surgery scars, more teaching each other how to shave and tie a tie and all the other things our dads didn’t teach us, more sheer shirts over post-op chests, more skirts and short shorts on hairy legs, more moving the fuck out instead of living with transphobic parents, more breaking up with partners that wanted girlfriends not boyfriends, more pregnant dads, more twinks turned into otters and bears by t, more scars and binders on the beach, more romanticization of t dicks and meta dicks and phallo dicks, more rage and resistance against anyone who would try to rob us of our history or our ancestors, more pride in complex manhoods and queer masculinities, more getting louder every time someone tells us to shut up about the things that are important to us, more searching for transmasculinity in every piece of media and injecting it into anything that failed to consider us, more cuntboys and boygirls and transfags and butch dudes and transsexual men, more jumping headfirst into masculinizing transitions, more delighted reactions to realizing “holy shit i think i’m actually a guy”, more trans manhood and transmasculinity as force of nature and fundamental truth and fact of life that cannot under any circumstances be ignored.

y'all have eventually got to realize that kunikida's temper and attentiveness to his schedule aren't callousness, they're coping mechanisms. right. y'all have to eventually figure out that much over seasons + tens of chapters of him being so tender it would snap him in two if not for the order he's constructed around himself. y'all will inevitably pick up on that with how he approaches dazai and kyouka, especially, right? surely.

familiar!au thoughts:

i've been mentally handwaving all of dipper's reincarnations having the same names, bc it would just be confusing to read, if they didn't (and bc tbh i feel like bill would just ignore it anyway, lmao. this is pine tree! that's all that matters. what, is bill supposed to remember whatever dumb new thing his mortal parents have named him every lifetime?)

HOWEVER, a funny alternative- do you think, after bill & dipper have gained enough notoriety for dipper to be recognized as a Big Heroic Demon Hunter, there's a sudden spike in people naming their kids "mason", and/or "dipper" becomes a new & notable given name?? are there magical families out there naming their baby boys mason or dipper, in the hope that they'll grow up to be powerful practitioners, or that they'll be especially resistant to demonic temptation? (lol. lmao, even.)

second: imagine familiar-verse's pop culture landscape once enough time has passed that bill & his mortal have passed into legend. 😭 what do you think it's like to be a teenager growing up in the Between Times, when there's mythologized history, daytime TV dramas, and bad historical romance novels about these two?

do you think there's like, tiktoks about how to tell if you're regaining past memories in dreams, of your time as bill's mortal? IG reels of kids who have Wildly misunderstood the situation, w/ captions like "13th bday, i think my birthmark is finally starting to come in?!! 🤯😱 #ChosenMortal #BeastWithOneEye #WelcomeBackDipper" and the comments are full of people going "bestie that is a rash, please go to the doctor 🙏😭"

Thank you for accepting my handwaving of Dipper's name in the reincarnations! A majority is of course the readability and understanding it's the same guy, but bit of it is 'I don't wanna come up with new names for each one'. I also agree with 'Mason' and 'Dipper' becoming much more common after Dipper's first life! Turns out he made quite the impression. That'll happen when you're a clever guy with the full power of Bill Cipher behind your spellcraft. God, though. The cultural phenomenon behind this weird Demon Bond. With how little information the public has on how things went down, imagine all the fictional interpretations. Dramas, of course. Soap operas, even! Horror movies! Tons of different versions of what happened! Of course there's tweens daydreaming about being next, it's a Pretty Cool Thing to happen to someone - if you don't know Bill very well. I will also take your rash story and invite another possibility - A Dipper who thinks he's totally gotten away scot-free from any involvement with Bill. After all, he doesn't have the birthmark.

Only to wake up one day, wash his face at the sink, and look up to see the damn birthmark plastered right on his forehead.

it's hard being a special that naturally fleshes out yata's character from ok to absolutely wonderful, gives all 5 of the core cast something to do and each their own fair chance to shine, has 'it's called a strategic retreat' and 'kill him and he still won't die,' AND has the sandwich arc, and yet prison of the past doesn't even stop there, because it also has

The funniest thing when you're in a fandom with a popular ship and you like something else more is that you can feel in real time you growing more sick of the fandom's OTP. Like yes yes I know it's The Ship in the fandom, but good god does everything with you people have to revolve around them??
