i think we should let rina sawayama swallow matt healy whole
yknow solas from dai right and forgive me bc im sure other ppl already knew this but i just found out about this just now and now i have to say it
so i was scrolling reddit and someone was asking how come they can't seem to write solas dialogue correctly for fanfiction and someone in the comments pointed out that he, not always, but very often, speaks in IAMBIC TETRAMETER? and that's why he SOUNDS LIKE THAT?
With all the love we give our hairy folks can we give the same love to our non hairy folk as well
Not in a “love the people who fit the societal norm” way just a “love the people who are losing hair.” Way
love the people who are balding
love the people who are bald
love the people who are loosing hair due to aging
love the people who are loosing hair due to medical reasons
love the people who can’t grow hair.
love the people who stop growing hair.
Should body hair be normalized? Yes of course. Body hair is a “normal” part of being human. But not all humans are “normal”. Recognize that there are disabled people who don’t have body hair or maybe any hair. Look at them and appreciate them. Love them just the same.
trying to go through the psycholonials tag why are you people saying the art is ugly and bad what the hell. did you actually read the whole thing or were you turned off by the Pixels on the first page
“it’s not as imaginative or interesting as anything in mspa” what the hell are you talking about.
do you understand how hard it is to get these colors to look this gorgeous together. do you even try to be immersed in zhens mental state (which is quite obviously what the art is evoking especially for characters like percy or the cops).
i would argue that not only is the juxtaposition of this style incredibly whimsical and fun as hell but actually some of it’s more technically advanced than art in homestuck
look at this guy! look at the level of rendering and shadow! how are you thinking this is ugly!
This morning, I'm so angry that I ever let all the TERF and transphobe talking points about top surgery scare me a bit. Because they're just so far off-base it's ridiculous. If you've ever gone to a TERF's blog to make sure you didn't just take a one-off comment out of context before blocking them, you probably know that fearmongering about top surgery is one of the big things they do.
They'll tell you that top surgery removes a "vital set of organs!!!!" and you'll be emotionally and hormonally unstable afterwards. They'll tell you that you'll have lifelong pain and suffering. They'll talk about how the surgery doesn't cure the ""underlying cause"" of simple unhappiness with your body in general.
And holy shit. I knew it was bullshit but until my surgery, I never knew how much of it was complete and utter horseshit. If I'm being charitable, I want to say that the reason they say these things is because they're assuming top surgery is a direct equivalent to a cancer-related double mastectomy, which ignores a lot of things, not least of all the fact that these double mastectomies statistically will usually happen to cis women who are not only deeply (and understandably) upset about it needing to happen to them but also dealing with cancer, a thing that famously makes you feel awful. It's perfectly reasonable for a woman to find her mastectomy traumatic for the reverse of the reason that trans guys need top surgery - it doesn't feel gender-affirming for women to have this part of their body removed, and that's painful.
But that's not what top surgery is like. Top surgery is a plastic surgery, not a surgery for cancer treatment. It's performed by plastic surgeons who know how to reshape your chest to give you a shape you'll love in a way that scars as little as possible and heals well. I cannot exagerrate enough that my top surgery itself was so much easier to heal from than I'd expected. I'm about two months out and my range of motion is completely 100% back to normal, with no pain at all, and I love the way my chest looks.
And my top surgery changed my life. Do I still have things I don't love about my body? Sure. We all do! But dysphoria felt different than these things, and this huge source of dysphoria is just gone. I love walking around my house shirtless now when I never did before! I'm more forgiving of even those things I still don't love about my body now, because I feel so much better overall! I hope everyone reading this who wants top surgery is able to get it as soon as possible, because it's absolutely amazing. My only regret is that I wasn't able to get it sooner.
All sympathy for Palamedes tho bc having met Dulcie, a hunky mysterious death cultist swooping in to catch her like a romance novel protagonist is exactly the sort of excitement that would have distracted her for weeks. The thing with Gideon wasn't all that out of character if you couldn't hear their conversations

Another one I typeset, uh, in January 2023. But it's done! This was an experiment in using the cricut (off-brand) hot foil attachment on leather: it worked really well for small designs, so I thought, why not fly a little higher. Five hours and six sheets of foil later, I was spitting out saltwater. But I decided that the flakiness worked for the design, so I stuck with it. (I tried a second version and added glaire between the foil layers, but the spots that got missed in that one looked worse to me because of how solid the rest was.)
Kim just never grew past the phase where you'd rather freeze to death than wear weather-appropriate clothes because it doesn't fit your aesthetic. He seems so pragmatic and smart at first but he'll run around in below freezing temperatures and snow in a fucking cropped nylon bomber, no scarf or hat. Like girl I've been there - when I was 22. You spent too long in the juvie
