i feel like many people use "straight"...wrong

it's used a lot to mean cis, het, allo, perisex, etc.

basically just not lgbtq+ at all

but that's not true

trans people can be straight and lgbtq+

intersex people can be straight and lgbtq+

neopronoun users can be straight and lgbtq+

arospec people can be straight and lgbtq+

acespec people can be straight and lgbtq+

polyamorous people can be straight and lgbtq+

genderfluid, bigender, and other gender non-conforming people can be straight and lgbtq+

people who are biromantic, panromantic, etc. and heterosexual or vice versa are still lgbtq+

and there are so many more identities that can absolutely be both

straight does not mean not lgbtq+

Some of y'all trying to encourage empathy for these unethically wealthy people, who agreed to be bolted in to a metal tube, that was unapproved, unsafe and was controlled by a fucking off brand playstation controller from 2011 just for a cute lil death tourism trip is why we as a society will never be free.

They went to a part of the ocean that is so deep, more people have been to space than that far down. With a man who said safety shouldn't be a concern. Oceangate literally fired someone for saying that the window wasn't going to be able to withstand those depths. They'd lost another vessel before for 5 hours. Like plllsss the self preservation left the room. This whole situation is absurd.

Even this man's own stepson doesn't give a FUCK and you want me to? Nuh uh you have the wrong one I'm afraid😭😭

the biggest romantic gesture is getting her pregnant. do you know how madly in love you must be to choose this girl to have your babies? to have little ones running around with your eyes and her hair color? her pregnancy being a loud and visible sign that says “she’s mine!” with that round belly you gave her and your baby on her hip, people may look at her but they’ll know she’s clearly loved and taken cared for.

as a hopeless romantic, it’d be outrageous if i didn’t have a breeding + pregnancy kink !!! what’s more romantic than this?

Elden Ring/Dark Souls and the Sheer Lack of Fanfics. (A Slight Rant and Ramble.)

Alright, we need to talk, Elden Ring and Dark Souls Fandoms...

There are hundreds of thousands of you out there who love these games... So many, in fact, that they are both some of the most popular game franchises ever made...

So, pray tell, why is there such an atrocious lack of... fanfics!?

Come on, man! I. Want. More. Fanfiction!!

Give me a coffee shop au where Miquella takes Malenia to his favorite coffee shop and introduces her to the cute batista.

Give me a crossover ship between Messmer and Gwyndolin where they help eachother through their familial issues and trauma.

Give me a hurt/no comfort between Radagon and Rennala showing how the divorce went.

Give me an actor au where it shows the behind the scenes and/or bloopers for the character messing up or forgetting their lines.

Give me a Gwyndolin x Chosen Undead!reader with extra fluff and a side of gentle smut.

Give me Rennala x Carian Knight!reader where you help take care of her while she's in the library.

Give me a modern crossover au where Malenia is dating Gwynevere and going through the motions of being a cute, domestic couple before ending it with them being wife and wife and officially married. (I desperately want to see this one, I'm BEGGING.)

Give me a crack fic where Gwyndolin takes his snakes to the vet.

Give me a canon divergence au where you save Godwyn from being assassinated.

Give me Godwyn x Consort!reader where you and him are married.

Give me modern au Godwyn where he's a himbo who forgot his wallet at home to pay for his singular candy bar.

Give me a Godwyn x Tarnished!reader were you get to peg him. (I would also read this one, btw...)

Give me Godwyn with a breeding kink.

You know what...

Just give me any Godwyn fanfics!

Don't be shy people, make some more!

Make me some fanfiction or else I will ascend to godhood and place an eternal curse upon thee! 😡

..please? 🙏

Pretty please with a cherry on top..?

Just give me more Godwyn, please! 😭

(More Gwyndolin would also be IMMENSELY appreciated.)

The two sides of Escaped Audios as viewed by a random stray cat:

The first side of the coin:

Silly, goofy man with contagious laughter

If you look up the definition of scrunkly in the dictionary, his picture is probably there

Gives serious Epic!Odysseus vibes (him ranting about Chloe is seriously the sweetest freaking thing ever, kyaaaaa-)

Most likely a Disney Princess in disguise considering his friendship with animals

Great for adventures

... the second side of the coin:

"Ok, horror, nice-" *immediately stabbed in the heart with the relatability*

"What dark recess of the mind did this come from-"

Great villain laugh

Like really- it's terrifying but intriguing- I'm scared by how good the laugh is

If he wanted to he could probably become Escaped the Supervillain

Thank God he hasn't yet-

So, I got a new job recently, and it is INSTANTLY miserable. Not at all what it was advertised as.

Worse, the days are ten hours long and my office is (literally, not being hyperbolic) a windowless supply closet. I'm legitimately sitting with the holiday decorations and wholesale bags of Cheetos as I write this.

Of course, I've been miserable since starting, and rightfully so. I bawled the first day when I realized how bad it's going to be and the regret of leaving the department and classroom I loved settled in.

As I was talking to my partner, I was telling him how I took this job because my position was supposed to be eliminated, and this job would pay really well while getting to stay on campus, even if I'd be a little busier. But the thing is, I've never been the sort to care about money, so a big fancy job...it's nice, but ultimately not necessary for my happiness/actualization at all. As long as my bills are paid, I genuinely don't care about anything outside of that, and I feel like I lost out on something wonderful--my free time, work friends, and eBay--because I made too quick of a decision.

I was talking about how I'm going to have to close my eBay because I can no longer get to the post office, and through the tears I laughed and said, "Maybe I can go back in time and convince myself to become a puppet-maker like I always wanted to be, and in that timeline I can keep being NostalgicFun."

Today, as I was loading my car, I looked down through my puffy, swollen eyes and saw something sitting on the floorboard of my backseat. I reached back and picked it up, and, what, of all things, should I discover...

A vintage puppet pattern. I have no memory of buying this. I mean, obviously I had to have purchased it at some point? But where? And why don't I remember it? And how have I used my car every day for the last *gestures vaguely* years and now it's just randomly in my back seat?

I guess it's a sign things will be okay. I guess, maybe, in a campus supply closet, hidden beneath the party-packs of Doritos and cases of water, there will be, now, a little blue box, and in that little blue box there will be googly eyes, and pieces of felt, and spools of thread, and a sewing needle. And a little bit of fun.

hey guys.

here is my collection of layton being lukes dad that nobody asked for since i feel like you guys should see it too. + extra screencaps from the games when i played them. and also a little commentary

SLIGHT SPOILER WARNING!!

these are screenshots from all of the mainline games + a few from plvpw, but for that one they dont really spoil anything. its mostly just layton being mildly affectionate towards luke because i lose my mind whenever he is. this will be multiple parts because i have quite a few

here we go!!

Hershel Protecting Luke or Being his Second Dad in General (Part 1)

Starting with plvspw.

The way Luke is looking up at Hershel makes me claw the ground. He looks up to him so much. He is in awe with him and what he's saying. He is INTERESTED in what hes saying.

Hershel placing a hand on his shoulder to reassure him is so sweet. Hershel is letting him know that he's there.

He notices Luke's troubled expression and demeanor in that cutscene. He's looking up at the sky and is deep in thought after what Hershel said about witches. (Plus the thunder that's scaring him a little.)

And he's quick to reassure him. He knows Luke is scared of the supernatural (Understandably so because of his Experience) and Hershel is quick to let him know that witches can't hurt him. They aren't real, and they never were.

I just thought these were sweet. I like the idea of Hershel answering Luke's questions while he stays at his flat/office. I feel like rainy days for them would be very calm and sweet. Just tea and a book to read. Stories to tell and questions to ask.

As for the second photo, I just find Hershel's concern for Luke to be very sweet. All Luke did was pratfall. He didn't break any bones or get any bad bruises but Hershel rushed to his side to make sure he was alright.

Luke's first instinct when he's scared is always, ALWAYS, to hide behind the professor.

VERY SLIGHT SPOILER FOR LAST SPECTER BELOW! Skip to the next set of images if you want to avoid it.

It's not as noticeable here, but Luke meets Loosha for the first time and immediately backs up behind Hershel for safety.

So much in this game shows that he starts to feel safe around the professor (which I think could be a reason he is so eager to go with Hershel on dangerous trips. Hershel has made sure he was safe each time)

Hershel's first instinct when he feels there's danger is always to shield Luke first. Especially his head.

The grab and tuck thing he does makes me so ill. He's protecting his boy with his whole body and it doesnt matter what part of himself gets hurt as long as Luke is safe.

On the third photo they are falling QUITE A DISTANCE! Yet Hershel's first thought is to grab Luke and put himself between Luke and the ground. Luke is to be safe at all times no matter what.

Putting this here because it was funny. not to the pilot!!!!

Here’s a thing I don’t understand about Moshang vs Bingqiu:

Why did Moshang leave a bigger impression than Bingqiu? I’ll admit it, I didn’t have any strong feelings towards Bingqiu when I finished svsss the first time. But Moshang left a bigger impression and I was HOOKED on shipping them.

Eventually, Bingqiu warmed up to me the longer I was in the fandom and thegamingmuse’s analysis definitely helped me understand their relationship better.

It’s funny people are saying that svsss is the silliest and simplest (in terms of plots and characters, etc) to read out of MXTX’s novels, but I have to say that her writing pretty dense. (I mean like in terms how “A Series of Unfortunate Events” is a dense read, lovingly.)

I thought my ability to read such a dense text was decent at the very least, but boy was I humbled when I read svsss because I was struggling to comprehend some of MXTX’s writing. I don’t blame others when they completely miss something that the fandom points out and say that people can’t read but honestly I can barely remember half the content of what’s in the series because there’s so damn much.

It's also come to my attention that people believe the Trump administration was at least attempting to override due process and break the law in order to deport Mahmoud Khalil, because a judge had to block his deportation in order for a hearing to happen.

I think it is important to know that at least according to PBS news, this is not illegal. A greencard holder does not have the right even to a hearing with a judge if accused of supporting terrorism, if the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General "has reason to believe" that they COULD engage in terrorism, whatever on earth that means.

To be clear I don't support this. Everyone should have the right to plead their case to someone, and the government should always be obligated to gather and present evidence to someone who is at least theoretically impartial, when accusing anyone of anything.

But it is nevertheless important to understand that there was no attempt at expanding or breaking the law on "behalf" of the Jewish community. The Immigration and Nationality Act was passed in 1953. Countless people have been deported under it and it has existed for 73 years. There's literally nothing unique about this case other than that it is a Jew hater being deported. The fact that a judge stepped in in order for Mahmoud Khalil to have a hearing is more unique than the act of immediate deportation itself.

My point in making this post is not to imply in some way that the attempt by the Trump administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil without a hearing is ok because it is legal, but to push back on this narrative being repeated by everyone, including Jews, that Trump is using the pretense of caring about antisemitism to illegally expand the law. He is not. The law is already this broad, and has existed for 73 years.

Going along with the narrative that Trump is using the pretense of fighting antisemitism to expand the law is dangerous, even if we are only going along with it to disavow it and say we do not support him doing that in our name. It is dangerous because it is not true. It gives weight to the idea that the Trump administration has any particular interest in even pretending to protect the Jewish community, and it gives weight to the idea that Jews and Jewish issues have some disproportionate control or influence over the government, and it gives weight to the idea that the existance of unethical laws utilized by our government are even tangentially related to Jews And Our Influence.

The reality is that the government has had the power to immediately deport any greencard holder they accuse of supporting terrorism for 73 years, and people are only now upset about it because there was an attempt at it being used against a Jew hater, and now the existance of this 73 year old law is being denied in favor of blaming The Jews And Their Power. Do not go along with this narrative, even if it is to disavow it. It is a complete fabrication.

No Jews, no news, as they say. That's really the start and end of what is going on here. The Trump administration was attempting to immediately deport a supporter of antisemitic terrorism in the same way many other administrations have immediately deported countless other accused supporters of terrorism, and this story immediately became headline news, unlike the million others, specifically because it has to do with Jews. Don't let them do this. Don't think going along with a version of reality where an unfair precedent is being created on our behalf is going to end well for us, even if you are only going along to disavow that "unfair precedent." Please fight for the truth. Trump is not using the pretense of caring about antisemitism to get his foot in the door for mass deportations without a hearing. That door has been wide open for 73 years and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jews at all.

I read a ficlet one time about Derek being asexual, and at first I didn’t really agree bc some of the fics that I’ve read have Derek’s wolf instincts screaming at him to mate with Stiles. BUT then I thought what if Derek’s human side is asexual, but his wolf side really, really, REALLY wants him to mate with Stiles? Like his wolf instincts are screaming: Mate! Claim! Stiles! And then his human side just really wants cuddles and to love his boyfriend? And his two sides are constantly at war?

The thing about the Sauron-Galadriel dynamic is that it’s so fascinating even from a completely curiosity point of view that it makes me want to experience it, despite knowing fully that I will regret wishing for that.Like,how WOULD it feel like to hate someone so much and yet to be fully seen and understood only by them?How does it feel like to be fully seen and understood at all?Maybe the only way to be fully seen and understood is by someone bold enough to stand up to you and be your enemy.Maybe only someone who is as fixed in their tempest as you are within yours.Maybe that’s why you’re enemies. Maybe that’s why you’re bound by fate. Maybe it is a curse to be known inside and out. Maybe darkness loves you better than light.Maybe you yourself don’t know what you are but they do and you hate it but you don’t want to let go of the feeling of being known.Maybe you see them and see their heart,and the blood pumping into it,and maybe you see it is encased in light and maybe the darkness in you desires it.Maybe you are not Light and maybe they are not Darkness.Maybe you are not Darkness and they are not Light.Maybe you respect that about each other.Maybe you will never be on firm ground with them;maybe everything will always be shifting and heaving and bending around you.You have a storm in your soul,and will that storm enjoy that unsteadiness,that thrill of being kept on your feet at all times?You cannot stop going,and will that part of you chase the passion that could be anger could be something other without a name that they kindle in you and will that be the thing that will keep you alive?If that is the only way you can live,can you truly destroy the only person keeping you alive?Whenever you face each other it is in the doorway between life and death. You are alive like you never can be without them and you are alive because you want them dead. They are the only person that can touch you without you recoiling and you are the only one that can touch them,you are the only one they will let near even if they know it will only be so you can draw blood because they too crave being known and being seen. They crave you but they crave in a way that is destroying both of you.They call to you but they won’t listen.They want you but you know they won’t know what to do with you once they have you.You won’t be yourself if you accept them and you don’t know if you want to become that alternate other self or not-you think you will hate that yourself and others will hate you.Your heart is made different from theirs,and that is where your paths diverge.You don’t know if you want to catch up with the other,you think you will always let them get away. Because your bond is chase. You circle around each other and come close and push away and leave and return. Your relationship requires movement,it requires desire and hatred and blood and possession. You can never be at each others’ sides because that would require you to stop moving and the movement is what keeps the fire that binds you roaring.You won’t change and they won’t change and that is the exact intersection of your souls.You do not know how to live with this.You do not know how to live without this.
