Small reminder that there's literally no need to censor here lol. This shit ain't monetized, nor will you get banned. This isn't tiktok.
#not at anyone in particular. but I have been seeing some comments here and there.#“inc3st” “sax” “unalive” just say incest sex and kill/suicide.#though i use unalive sometimes bcos it's so funny to me how hard it's trying to make it sound like a “soft” version of itself. 💀 so my bad#but people who use it seriously makes me curious genuinely#censoring your words is even worse because now people trying to block these triggers out would see these words bypass their filtered conten#because they're not spelled correctly.#suusoh speaks#hi sorry i'm just baffled at the self-censorship these days.

Okay so I am back to reading Star Wars books, and I have JUST started Shatterpoint and I already know this books is gonna be great because..
No more than a couple pages in (it’s an e-book idk how many pages in the physical copy it is..it might be the first page idk 🤷🏻♀️) Mace Windu expresses regret over not killing Dooku on Geonosis
He’s overthinking and stressing over that decision and why he made it
And what is one of the reasons he couldn’t bring himself to kill Dooku?
Because they were friends
Because he LOVED HIM
Yeah. You read that correctly. Mace Windu loved Count Dooku. His words. Not mine. He used the word love. They were friends before Dooku left the order and Windu admits it to himself that he could not let him go, could not separate the jedi he knew with the man in front of him.
That’s right. Mace Windu. The man whom so many fans believe is a cold and unfeeling asshole.
That man, believes that he potentially allowed his love for the Dooku that was his friend stop him from killing him.
He thinks he might’ve
allowed his emotions to cloud his judgement
and cannot get over that feeling of regret.
And that is so goddamn important to me.
#like what a way to open this book#he had some good moments in the clone wars but this is really the first time ive seen him written this way so far#this immediately humanizes windu in a way the movies never got the chane to do#i always see people talk about how they think mace is an arrogant dick to everyone#that he thinks he’s above anyone who makes mistakes but this shows right away how untrue that is#not only does he know he makes mistakes…he will sometimes allow those mistakes haunt him#HE IS NOT PERFECT AND HE DOESNT THINK HE IS AND I LOVE THAT ABOUT HIM#i bet there are people who see stuff like this and go ‘well its not canon’#but to me canon is whatever I decide because consuming media is more fun that way#anyways I love mace windu#i love when the jedi are critical of themselves#i love star wars books#this is only the second legends book i’ve read and I can’t wait to read a bajillion more#also i looked up the proper use of the word ‘whom’ for this post which I feel needs to be appreciated#i’m also not confident at all that I used it correctly#star wars#mace windu#shatterpoint#shatterpoint by matthew stover#jedi#star wars novels#kate's post

Man if Marcy keeps ending up with like child protection services in all these fics over her parents being slightly distant then my parents should be in JAIL
#idk if I'm wording it correctly but this goes hand in hand with some posts I#I've made abt Marcy's parents not being super great but also not being like...#like i didn't imagine them as outright abusive or deserving of losing custody over her#and people kept reblogging them and tagging them as abuse?? 😭😭#like if THAT is abuse. then what the fuck what up at my house#c'mon! her parents growing to kinda hate her because they couldn't stand her personality and failing to fulfill her emotional needs#while still always making sure she always had her material needs met#and doing their best not to blow up at her#resulting in them always acting mildly annoyed towards her#is not *really* abuse. right? like that's just how pretty much every parent feels tbh#like i've never seen a parent who genuinely likes their kids. every parent i know is either sick of them or morbidly depressed#like wondering why the hell they chose this life for themselves#some parents are just better at being optimistic and focusing on the nice parts than others#but not all have the mental fortitude to smile through the disgust and resentment they feel all the time#which tbh is an inhumane thing to ask from a person. parents are humans too and there's only so much a person can repress#i'm convinced parents like the boonchuys only exist in fiction#i just imagine Marcy's parents as being average parents who just don't always have the patience a kid like Marcy needs#like over here my parents are breaking my assistive devices and spying on me while i'm in the bathroom and I never considered that abuse#i just used to drive them insaneeeee back in the day lol#just like with friends and couples. sometimes parents and their kids aren't meant for each other y'know? and maybe that's just Marcy's case#i do know that's my case#but strangers online are here crying abuse for less#so now i'm like. hehehehe. say what now#personal

Romarriche - “Your company is one of a kind… I would never lie to you. I would never say a half-truth or be quiet.” “What is it in your mind, Merold?” “Hearing your voice, complaint or not—it is music to me either way.” Merold - “If there is one constant in this world… Let it be you.” “You’re the cruelest and the kindest thing that happened to me.” “…If only you continued to look at me like that.” Romarriche - “…Merold?” Merold - “But~ It’s only a minor case of bad-mood-itis.” “So Romarriche, spoil me with a spar, will you?” Romarriche - “Merold.” Romarriche - “Look at me.” Merold - “…” Romarriche - “Is something… Wrong?” Merold - “Instead of a spar…” “I might want to lie down on your lap after all.”
#fragaria memories#merold#romarriche#i wont lie i only had the first line and wanted to write something with it#i was reading this novel and i wanted to write something romantic </3#im gonna babble here on my own so you're always free to skip the tags...#if i remember correctly romarriche and merold were made knights around the same time and I work on that context#i like to think their relationship was rocky at first at romarriche's side who didn't want to befriend merold#compared to merold who thought he finally had a friend his age that was also a knight of fragaria#it was romarriche who looked at merold with a perceived perfection and was compared to him#“...I'll get better and strong. I'll impress everyone so I don't have to hear it--his name repeating over and over again.”#merold who says “if only you continued to look at me like that...” refers back to the past when romarriche didn't think of him favorably#but i like the double meaning to it “please look me as you did before and look at me as you do now”#“cruelest” and “kindest” i was a reading a novel that also used those words so I kinda grabbed from that </3#its really a cute novel though#me reading fragaria memories theories to see if it can at least make sense#i like this but i dont like this at the same time wwww#what does it say about its characters? as a writer i want to care about that because no dialogue should be said without reason#i think this dialogue is perfection but what am i writing this for? who does it refer it? what does it refer to?#but at the end of the day i simply want to indulge myself#something that could sound good and personal and something that could make people who read this smile and myself smile#Merold - “Will you make the promise to never change?”#Romarriche - “Change... But change in what way?”#Merold - “...”#Merold - “Because I'm a knight who fears a lot of things...”#Merold - “And I care about the Romarriche I have now.”#it was never supposed to be detailed but look at me now... </3

i rly like when people use words incorrectly and then trying to reverse engineer what they think the word meant. it's like a game
#we could of course get into an entire convo abt the symbolic nature of language and semiotics#most of the time it's clear what they were TRYING to say or assumed the word meant#i have a lot of respect for people who actively try to broaden their own vocabulary (esp through reading bc learning-#how to correctly integrate unfamiliar words you've never actually heard spoken before into your own use is HARD.)#but i think sometimes people choose to use words they don't actually understand under the pretence of sounding smarter#i'd argue someone who expresses themselves and their ideas clearly with a basic vocabulary is more impressive than-#someone who uses words they don't understand to sound impressive

No one loves misusing the word "bioessentalist" and talking over intersex people quite like perisex people huh
#clover speaks#i love blocking interphobic anons#they hate when i bring up that transfem afab and transmasc amab are intersex terminology and that transfem and transmasc are not genders#they are transitioning terminology and have specifically to do with sex#but like 99% of the time its a PERISEX qoute afab transfem unquote who wants to talk about transmysogny w/o having any experiences#you cant transition to feminity aka litterally what trans fem means whwn you were already born feminine#thats not how words work#this isnt even a contradictory label issue you just dont know what words mean#nothing i hate more than white pple who think if they slather themselves in enough mircolabels they can avoid being called bigoted#why do you think the mogai community is like 95% white people? 90% perisex?#its cause yall think as long as you have 50+ microlabels that barely tiptoe around if at all radqueer terminology and rhetoric#you think that whiteness that abledness that perisexuality all your privileges disappear#they dont#imagen telling an intersex person they are interphobic for correctly using terminology and correctly clocking interphobia#the complex is insane

ouuughhh Taash's story hits real close to home. conversation with their mom reminded me of some of the first conversations I had with my own.
I'm really enjoying how thoughtful this part of their journey was written and the very real and difficult interactions gender queer people have.
#[static]#wolf plays da#dragon age spoilers#dav spoilers#im so comfortable in who i am now after so many years but it reminds me deeply of the discomfort I used to deal with on the daily#trying to figure myself out while people demanded things of me that I couldn't give them or word correctly because I was figuring it out#also i had my rook lowkey yell at their mom in frustration lmaooo and the info i got from her was brutal like ... reminded me of something-#that my own mom said during my transition ouuughh

it's wild here on hockeyblr
#we are fine with going into great detail about our omegaverse eugenics aus where we throw around terms like 'muddying the gene pool'#with total sincerity and not a hint of self-awareness#ignoring that the particular sport we've hitched our wagon to has a major racial diversity issue#but if the media folks for a team prod a bunch of players to butcher a native word they don't know how to pronounce#(even as they all correctly pronounce another native word without a second thought)#*this* is a racism issue#and we will let anyone who disagrees know that this is the case by... using a... um... slur for asian people? for some reason?#not even disagreeing that there are arguments to be made here#but wow we are really picking and choosing aren't we?

┊ ⋆˚ about this blog !
— first and foremost, this is a male reader blog !!! i only write male reader inserts, the usage of she/her pronouns will never, ever be applied to any of my works that involve an insertion of yourself into the scenario. that being said, i don't really think i can/will enforce that those that read my work are only those that use he/him prns. so let's say, if those who use she/her pronouns decide to read my work, i won't purge them off of this page (i don't think i spend that much time on here to even do that) and burn them at the stake. all i very POLITELY ask is that: you don't interact malignantly with me or my posts. i don't tag my work "x fem reader", only "x male reader" and "x reader" so there shouldn't be any worries of my work "cluttering" (<- lmmmffaaoooooo) your tags of "x female reader"
— of course this ^ can be subject to change and become stricter if i start gaining negative attention from fem-alligned readers. so NOT SAYING IT'S SET IN STONE because that how i feel about this just right now.
— i plan on using this blog to just broaden the reach of one of my fanfics (keep safe) with the occasional posting of a smau/modern!au post every now and then.
— every now and then i might post a yandere drabble, oneshot, headcanon, etc just wanted to put that here since i know that it's not everyone cup of tea and wanted to disclaim this. some of the yandere headcanons already exist on here, but i think (i hope) i tagged it all appropiately....(i hope)
alright, that's all thank you for reading <3 jaime
#if this post sounds too idealistic i wouldve even know because i dont know the “culture” on tumblr regarding who interacts with what#im just going to assume that people with half a mind to think about what their preferences are and what they like know what to interact wit#and what not to interact with#anyway hopefully this actually makes sense and isnt just a bunch of word vomit to u guys#i look forward to publishing more on tumblr!!! i hope it can be a fun experience for all of us#<3#hopefully i can write for more animes instead of JUST one piece#i think i remember enough about jjk to do something for them as well#SHOUTOUTT#oh and if someone wants to educate me on the tagging system here i am welcome to any tips / tricks#because i think im using them correctly (ihopeihopeihope)#but if im not — PLEASE LMK

i had a dream that i made little cards that say "THEY!" on them that i handed out to people at work who got my pronouns wrong, immediately after they got it wrong. and in smaller text (or on the back) it said "i don't want an apology, i want you to do better" or "don't say you're sorry, DO BETTER" and ..... i kind of want to do it. maybe i'll get some moo cards made lmao
various scenarios included:
me slamming it down on a desk in front of them.
instead i had stickers, would slowly peel one off while they watched, and stick it on it on them.
handing out a quarter sheet piece of paper based on the 'i caught being good' tags we'd get in kindergarten which said 'i got caught misgendering hallie/my coworker'. it would have their name and date on it and a giant 🙁 face. i had them as a pad of paper and would hold up a finger to say 'wait a second', dramatically pull it out of my back pocket, take my pen out of another pocket, slowly fill it out in front of them, and hand it to them while staring them in the eyes.
getting a whiteboard for the outer side of my cubicle wall that said '[days] since i was misgendred' (with a bonus by saying 'last offender: [name]'
i also dreamt that i got into trouble for it because i was making people feel bad and was 'creating a hostile work environment'. i was just like.... okay and how do you think i feel? and my boss shut up real fuckin quick. dunno if that would be the case irl but if that does happen i can only dream.
#tired of the people who say 'i'm trying but i'm going to make mistakes'#ok sure i definitely mess up sometimes too but when it's not even close to 50/50 let alone merely uncommon ............. fuck you#what's sad is it's all people i like and it hurts so much#in the dream it the cards also said something about how i'm not a girl. not a lady. not a woman. stop saying that word to me ...#... in plural when i'm with female coworkers. about half the time i say 'not a lady' and only about half the time it's acknowleged#or that one who constantly posts female-empowering images on ig which are alienating bc it's clearly very binary#and getting comments like 'well it applies to you to!!!' why bc i have a pussy? fuck off#and she'll sometimes say 'thank you for your patience' (what patience) or 'have patience with me' (no.)#i've also thought of holding up my name tag in their faces bc my previous boss had it specially made for me#it's got my name position and pronouns#same boss tho..... he was REALLY consistent about using my pronouns but one day used she/her three times in a row before eventually...#... correcting himself and the next day i told him that really sucked especially from him and he later told me i should have been nicer...#... about it. i was PISSED. i said 'well then how should i have said it?' i don't even remember his answer i just know i wanted to go...#... off on him SO BADLY bc he said it 'hurt his feelings'. well too fucking bad bc every time i'm misgendered it makes me want to...#...die inside a little and feels like at the very least a tiny punch to the gut but that felt like being stabbed esp since it was a new hir#he also said 'ok but i corrected myself' yeah AT THE END after doing it THREE TIMES and that's not the point here#anyway lol this dream definitely stirred up shit unfortunately but i'm serious when i say i might actually have these made#like both my internal email and external emails have my pronouns in them (i had to campaign for this btw so thank you me)#but i recently added my own custom signature with 'they/them' in it that has a link about using pronouns correctly#me#lgbtq#nonbinary

I started getting "reader reels" or whatever on Instagram for some reason and they're so dumb oh my god. Why are people talking about Being A Reader like it's a gated community or something??? Like they'll look at someone who reads books they don't like and they'll be like ugh 🙄 you're not a real reader. Being "a reader" isn't a community or some kind of group you're part of, it's just an adjective for people who read 😭
#literally not even joking i just read a comment that said#“respectfully (comma) i dont think people who read (etc) should call themself readers”#like what? are they reading? yes? then theyre a reader. like im not the type to get all gung ho about Correct Language Usage#but its like dude you're straight up just not using that word correctly 😭#i feel like its worth mentioning that i lit rally dont read#i do like reading though. i need to get a proper library card but i just never get around to it 😭

#full of so much vicious envy#envying the people who got to grow up and stay stable#I miss when I could read fast and spell correctly consistently#I envy the friendships that can somehow be extremely close while also remaining stable#I envy the people who can feel safe about other people#I don't even know how to put it into words#I envy the people who can hold a job#and the people who can do it in spite of the horrors#and I'm grateful I still have a roof over my head#but this rant is about feeling weak and pathetic in part#cause last time I tried to do a chore more intense than putting away a couple of dishes I spiraled#how am I supposed to live#i can't afford treatment#and I don't think those who have money they can spend on me see treatment as a necessity that is urgent#so what can I do anyways. rot#I envy the people who can just fucking live and still have a grasp on their own mind and abilities#and who are able to be normal about other people#feel normal about human connection#not be craving it desperately while fearing it violently#I want to be able to write like I used to#but I never want to love the way I used to love every again#I envy people who can enjoy something and not let it take control over their mind to an irrational and stupid degree#where things that at the end of the day do not matter in my life still make me go into fight or flight the instant I wake up in the morning#vent

[Image ID: the image has a white background and is broken up into two columns. The left column is titled “Reclamation:” in black letting. Beneath that is an image of an older white man in a light-colored button down shirt and brown shorts walking in the street holding up a white sign that says on black letters, “THAT’S MR FAGGOT TO YOU”. There are people walking, a parked car, and a building in the background. Beneath the image is the explanation: Presents the slur as an identity worth defending, explicitly opposed to how most people use it. The right column is titled “Not reclamation” in black lettering. Beneath that is an image of a white man with short dark hair who is wearing a light blue polo shirt; he is crossing his arms and the image cuts off underneath them. The man has a speech bubble that says in black lettering, “Of course I look normal, I don’t have to act faggy just because I’m gay”. Beneath the image is the explanation: Uses the slur as something negative, worth condemning and distancing from, identical to how the general public use it.]
Made a little something on slur reclamation.
#also reminds me of someone I know (who is queer) who uses the phrase ‘thats so gay’ almost exclusively with a negative connotation#sure the connotation may not always be a large one but it’s still there#it annoys me so much#especially since they don’t just do it with/around friends#they’ll do it in public and it’s like you could be making other people (besides me) uncomfortable#as well as making homophobic people feel safe or safer saying things like that#like words do have meanings!#and reclamation can happen!#but as the image shows#some things aren’t reclamation (re: using slurs as a slur)#reblog#sorry if the image ID/explanation isn’t the greatest!#i’ve been trying to get better at doing them and doing them correctly#if anyone has any corrections let me know!
