omg where'd you get your top it looks like it would fall apart after one cycle in the wash

#i need you to imagine my very specific vision for yakumo piggybacking on eiden ok:#eiden is such a playful lil scamp so idk one day he wants to test his strength by carrying yakumo #yakumo's always carrying passed-out-eiden after marathon sex sessions so. how heavy can a vertical noodle possibly be #but yakumo's scared he's too heavy or that he'll be too awkwardly shaped (whatever that means) for eiden to carry #so while eiden is crouched down in front of yakumo beckoning him to climb aboard #yakumo stiffly positions himself . but . his feet barely leave the ground #and their bodies aren't touching much.. as in #yaku's knees are gripping at eiden's midsection instead of scooching up close #because he doesn't want his crotch right up against eiden's back LOL #and he's very lightly touching eiden's shoulders with his hands #but since yakumo's body is so distant/unevenly perched.. it actually makes it tougher for eiden to carry him #so eiden has to coax yakumo into getting MUCH CLOSER against his body #'come on . right up against my back. it'll make it easier!!'#'no need to be shy 😏😙'#'that's right! now put your arms around my neck. there we go!!'#after yakumo loosens up and loses rock posture... he indeed becomes easy to carry #so eiden gets to strut around proudly with a yakumo on his back for a bit #this whole thing was inspired by me wanting to see oli bridal carry yakumo LOL #it would be sooooooo easy . oli is sooo strong and yakumo sooo flimsy. just scoop him up. kiss his forehead #tbh he could lift yakumo one handed but the bridal carry is more comfortable and oli is Considerate #then when i had oli AND eiden carrying yaku in my head.. i started imagining the others #something about.... yakumo being tossed around by bottoms #fills me with unprecedented amounts of delight #GARU!! SPIKE HIM ONTO THE GROUND LIKE THE ALMONDBALL #yakuoli #yakuei #yakumond #yakugaru #yakukaru

Dear Friend, Dear Ant, Dear Earth and dirt and grass and tree. Dear Life.

Help Remind me today that the world is still beautiful. Help Remind me today that My life hasn’t ended yet. Help Remind me that doom is a mind set that is a sign of giving up, and not the truth.

I want to be happy in a very sad world and I want others to be happy too. So Friend, Beast, Earth, Dirt, Grass, Tree, Life…

Remind me I am still here and I can still love, and still live.

The news in the original media: The third season of Good Omens will have just one 90-minute movie episode. The news in the media in my country: the third season of Good Omens has been CANCELED and will now only have a 90-minute special.

#If I had gotten the news from the press in my country I would have had a heart attack #ok maybe they are right #technically it is as if there is no more S3 #now it is a movie #or a concluding special #the original press is just trying to soften it #I am happy because we are going to have a conclusion #I am slightly frustrated that we are not going to have a season with several episodes #but I think 90 minutes is better than nothing #it is better than canceling #90 minutes to fix the last 15 minutes of S2 and give a happy ending #it is less screen time than we would like #but it is more than we would have had if they had considered canceling and not doing anything else from GO #I am rooting for them to give us what we need (happy ending and a well-tied conclusion)#since they are not going to give us what we want (a full season)#I think it is understandable who is suffering with this news #as well as those who are accepting it with contentment #every fan has the right to let themselves feel what they are feeling #honestly? I was already expecting something like this #because it didn't make much sense to me how they would remove the screenwriter of the project and still keep the script for it?#I think a part of me already knew that the removal could mean this #now it's time to support the production and actors by sending positive vibes #because I imagine that they are not responsible for this decision #this is a matter for the executive team #and although we are frustrated that we will not have a full season #it was certainly not the ideal solution for the fans and for the production and actors and others involved #but it was the possible solution #I'm still waiting for official notes from Amazon Prime and BBC #good omens #inefabble husbands

Here are my political thoughts. I'm not putting it under a read more and I'm not tagging it!! I know a lot of people come here to give themselves a break from real world stuff but sometimes you gotta deal with it (like right now)

Or just scroll by/block if you want idgaf baby!!!

To those in the US: I hope you are okay, get resources for your mental health if needed. Be scared, be pissed off. Don't let anyone tell you your feelings aren't valid because anyone that is queer or disabled or a poc is in for an even bumpier ride than usual.

If you are able: I hope you are involved and engaged in your community because there is no getting progressives into the White House without getting them in at the local level first and that's where you can make the biggest changes. Volunteer with youth or a campaign you feel good about. The DSA have a lot of different chapters in different states if that's your jam.

Remember that progress takes time and does not happen overnight or even over a few years. It is slow as hell and I know that sucks, but we have to be in this for the long haul and for future generations.

The rest of the world: we fucked up for real (again). Sorry for the fallout your countries will inevitably face.

If you voted for Tr*mp: get off my blog before I shoot you with my laser eyes. I do NOT tolerate intolerance. I come from a rural community who are completely brainwashed and!! newsflash!! His 2017 legislation hurt farmers and his tariff plan on John Deere is gonna hurt you again!!!

If you don't "do" politics: well, politics is gonna do you, babydoll, so you might as well!

#this ain't a harris endorsement but if you voted for trump get the hell away from me #the dem party is so fucking stupid to run a campaign pandering to white centrists don't get me started #MY POINT IS #community is important!!#love is important!!#if leaving the country is what is best for you and you're financial able good for you i guess #I was born here and feel some twisted horrible need to stay here and try to fix it #the US is a world leader and we really have a domino affect that impacts the entire world whether you want to admit it or not #his last presidency caused a lot of far right nut jobs to come out of hiding around the world AND helped them take leadership positions #the US has been in a shitpile for ages #pick up a shovel for those who can't and help dig!!#voting matters!! climate change is real! vaccines save lives!!#we live in an age of disinformation and heavy apathy!!#don't let it win!!#he's gonna try to start taking rights away on DAY ONE!!#but at least the economy is going to get worse too #end my soapbox rant #actually last thing: STOP painting melania as some innocent gold digger who hates him #(i'm petty and still haven't forgiven her for renovating jackie kennedy's rose garden but there are tapes of her defending him)#she knows what she's doing and is okay with what he's doing and is not a victim just STOP #okay now i'm done for realsies this time

i genuinely cannot describe how much accepting im asexual has helped me feel more confident and comfortable in my preferences and needs and general identity

#but im gonna try anyway!#i never actively put myself in uncomfy situations in my current relationship #but something always felt a bit off #my old friends always kinda. projected sexuality onto me. in a weird and uncomfy way #especially seeing as we were like 13!#im so lucky that my gf is as patient and understanding as she is #it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder since i accepted it and started telling some people #i feel more complete and i dont feel the need to overcompensate or 'correct' my thoughts so i think the 'right' way about intimacy #which. as a very sex positive person who doesnt dislike having sex. was a very weird experience #it also made for some funny conversations. like when i told my gf id never felt sexually attracted to anyone except her #she was so shocked it was very funny #but yeah this is awesome :]#i still feel a bit iffy sometimes because i feel like i should feel differently. but its much easier to shut those thoughts down now #asexual #aspec

In case you didn’t know or needed to hear it, things do get better after you turn 18. Your life isn’t over even when you hit 21. 💜

This is me at vaguely around my mid-twenties. I’m trans & I’m here & while I don’t have everything figured out, I certainly have figured myself out way more than when I was younger. 💜 Yes it gets better. Yes you can grow older & be trans. There are people out there willing to love & accept you for you. There are partners, friends, family to be found. Don’t give up! 💪 Be proud, be loud, & let your rage out! Down with cis! Let’s rock this joint & keep on living!! 🖤 Things will be less noisy eventually, just please live! ⭐️

💖 You are worth it & it gets better! 💜

#I don’t know who needs to hear this today but you are loved #you are worth living #living is worth it #I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let some government goons be the cause of my undoing!#live in spite of it all #this TDOV my heart goes out to all the tired; exhausted; drained folks out there. I love you #this trans day of visibility you tip those transgender SWs that you adore #send aid to your trans siblings in need of it #give that transfem or transmasc in your life a hug if they’re okay with that #check in on your trans loved ones 💜 a little care goes a long way #trans positivity for you first because we all need it right now 💖#to all my AFAB AMAB folks & everyone else too I love you; please don’t stop living!#I’m a nonbinary agender femme & I love you all so much #tdov 2024 #tdov #mine #op #enby #genderqueer #my face

The concept of queerbaiting annoys me. I was told that it refers to a work of fiction pretending to cater to a queer audience but then pulling back from it to avoid alienating homophobes, which is an incredibly specific thing. But a lot of people seem to think that it instead means "any time there's any gay subtex, metaphor, or ambiguity" or "whenever something from 1995-2012 was being a normal amount of homophobic for the era."

#I've secondhand seen the way Sherlock...was.#And yeah that's very pointedly cruel to the audience.#But not everything is that aware of its following to point by point mock them for half an hour.#And I think people forget that for a period there was a unique combination of awareness of gay people and homophobia bad #and a severe need to avoid being perceived as gay (and sometimes homophobic) at the same time #while it was ALSO very acceptable to treat the existence of gay people and homophobia or discomfort with both as a joke #so that whole wink wink nudge nudge dance was a huge thing in some of the 90s and earlier 2000s #and sometimes by doing that people accidentally made it seem even more fucking gay.#Or on purpose. People also forget that yeah gay people could exist as a joke but they couldn't be casual protags or w/e.#It wasn't really done like that.#I think what it's really proof of is that the 90s/early 2000s is long enough ago that people have become illiterate to the cultural cues.#When comedians complain 'you cant make jokes anymore' sometimes this is the exact thing they're referring to.#Gay people being on TV or in books isn't some funny joke you make anymore. Just being gay or seen as gay isn't the punchline it used to be.#People are shitty about it still but it's in a different way now. Being gay isn't as much the big embarrassment it used to be.#Gay tv shows and books are a whole market now. And stuff like Sherlock or supernatural were made right in the middle of that shift.#It's the only way you could position a strategy like this. I don't know if that cultural moment really exists anymore.#Audience backlash is also more massive and in real time.#Now instead of mockery at the idea of idk Dr house md being gay conservatives would see it as a 'culture war' thing.#And non conservatives are more vocal and more liable to criticize. TV shows are seen as keepers of culture in ways they weren't before.#I don't know how to describe it exactly. I'm not an expert and I know I'm missing some pieces or things I wanted to point out.#But yeah I just think people kind of. Forgot how people treated gayness as some kind of cootie disease you had to say #You didn't have really hard all the time. People are still sort of like that but idk the language changed.#A lot of talk about homophobia and queerness is very pseudo-academic now. The distancing happens with different signifiers.#But. Yeah.#☠️#I also think queerbaiting requires a specific kind of intent as a marketing strategy.#Instead of the more likely 'well we have an unintended gay following now so I guess we can throw in some fanservice #the network would literally never allow us to do anything with it even if we wanted to though.'

Call me jaded bitter and black but I’ll never care about the nuances of the police fill in on tv. Like we already have to deal with the ‘my dad is a cop :(‘ or ‘my broke brother joined the military’ irl why the fuck am I wasting my brain power on Caitlyn or vi. Like we know materialistically the authority of being a cop can get u what u want faster and that emotionally u either need strict routine with an outlet for ur violence or ur so used to it that u have to be a cop. I still fucking hate u tho like idc about how sad u are about being privileged and I said cop fill in but it’s really every kind of that character on tv like Zuko esque sorry I genuinely have less empathy for you than I do for other people idc

#vis a bit eh #but sorry idgaf about Caitlyn on principal of her being an enforcer #vi can be gay w/ anybody else #do I hate how silco is woobified as a skinny white man especially in comparison to sevika #who arguably has Better morals - if better is defined by not directly doing the MOST heinous shit?#yeah #do I hate how yt ppl are yt ppling for Caitvi and jinx in order to call them revolutionaries or what zaun needs like ekkos not right there?#like his obstacles haven’t been THEM the whole time?#them as in the systems they work to maintain now?#YES #idk shit about season 2 this ain’t about that #if I’m wrong whoops #but yeah I hate that ekko got so little screen time but what little we see of him is taken and jammed into the other characters by fandom #jinx is not a communist bro she’s a white girl who’s mad and gets to break shit for a cause peddled to her by a white man who’s only issue #is his own position in life and fuck everyone else unless it’s to keep them in line and loyal #does she have the potential?#eh. whatever idc #but the whole she carried zaun on her back thing? mm #and it’s not even explored in a humans thirsting for revenge and violence and power fantasies in their idols as opposed to the tangible #change they could make at ground level #ie the idolization of jinx’s act of violence that stemmed from her own feelings of hurt towards her own personal situation which just so #happened to be tangled with the council #vs ppl saying the firelights stopping shimmer production does nothing or their own base is bad bc not everyone is invited. also double #standards. racially charged but we knew that #but yeah not it’s not even explored in that way it’s just genuine ‘the ppl love jinx bc she’s a hero!’ and ignoring ekko and his cause #entirely. do I think this worship could be the shove to rock bottom thatll eventually nudge her in the right direction? maybe idc #but it’s weird that nobody sees this as like weird. like ekkos about that action and has the principals to back it up #like he’s standing on business and jinx is waving a gun around to prove she’s not a naive weak kid anymore and that’s it

i like overthink everything now it makes me feel so dumb. i used 2 be able to just talk 2 ppl but nowadays every single thing im like Is that actually going to make them hate me. Yes probably. and then i just dont respond which makes ppl hate me. this is how it is

#ive been overthinking 1 light and casual mildly funny response to something but im worried itll come off as disrespectful and dismissive And #make me seem stupid and uncaring all at the same time. and also be seen as insulting. but like idt itd be insulting right like. im not #saying what it is so ig for all you guys know im like I mean if i say All your shit suck ball and i hateit kys. <- thats not the thing i was #going to say #like it doesnt matter now the window for response is closed now but i feel stupid bc i shouldve just said it it was light and casual. im so #bad at keeping convos gojng im convinced im not going to survive. In like a light and casual way like in a He will not make it through the #winter joke way. dw. im not going to do anything bc i had One failed interaction. if i was going to do anythjng itd be bc of the 8000000 #other failed interactions. But im not. anyways. it just makes me feel so useless 😭 like i want to respond i want to talk to ppl so bad but #i feel like i mess things up Irreparably every time i speak OR i take too LONG overthinking my response and then i just cant respond bc its #been too long and then its been 3 years and the only messages ive ever sent r my intro message and 1 message 2 years ago that nobody #responded to at all. or the conversation stopped immediately after. and like i used to be better at this i was lkke. talkative in a couple #muts servers like. i talked 2 ppl daily in those servers and i had fun and like. I was an important part of the group and i felt like it #but i just feel like such an outsider for Everything and its literally my fault bc i cant just like. Talk. The explosion. bc im always like #im gonna try im gonna do it this time im gonna get it back im going to finally be Good connor and im going to fix it all and make a Good #solid friend group and ill find HEALTHY LOVE and i wont selfsabotage and ill move out and have a job and ill balance it well and ill start #all my hobbies and ill have a great routine and be so loveable and on top of it and not stressed and content and happy and roll with the #punches and then theres a single hiccup and im like Well fuckinf whatever im going to be an unemployed hermit forever and im going to die b4 #im 25 anyways so Who cares and also im digging a little hole for myself. and its like. AUGHH ik i just have to persevere and overcome but #even saying that feels so stupid its not fucking hard its Talking to ppl. like. i literally if ive ever said a word to you i had to think #avt it and strategize how to respond right even for like. like. it makes it sound like its not genuine it is #like for example i want to say hey i love your art! but then i freak out and im like thats not normal thats like a rly generic comment they #hear that all the time theyll thjnk im being polite and my brains like hrmmm rewrite Your art changed my life. It shaped me. Ill never be #the same. Nad im like ok too far overcorrected go back and the sentence generator is like Your art has colors 💯 like. GOD. WHY IS IT SO #difficult. and then usually i either just dont say anythinf and feel awful abt it 4ever OR i send it on anon and then i spend like 15 #minutes ibsessively slightly tweaking the apelling and capitalization and punctuation to make sure it doesnt seem like its me just in case #it Is the worst possible thing to say but then i see the response and itll be like AWWW TYSM :] THIS MEANS A LOT or whathaveyou and i feel #stupid bc i couldve just Told them this to their face and it wouldve been a good positive interaction we had. but instead i had 2 hide and #tyoe entirely differently so they couldnt sniff me from my typing style. and it soesnt even feel like the thanks is actually 4 me bc i #tweaked the message sm. and it still makes me happy that the oersons hapoy but its like. that couldve been a nice mutual interaction #like not that i need a personal ty i compliment ppl when i Want to compliment ppl and when its genuine yk. i dont do it so i get mutualpoint

I hate letting shitty people take up real estate in my brain, but sometimes the bastards refuse to leave.

#thinking once again about the dude i met on a dating app #who went on a red flag speed run for 2 weeks #before deciding that i was too much trouble and he was still in love with his ex #and informing me that i needed to accept that in my position a relationship was a pipe dream #but also we could totally still be fuck buddies if i was up for it #like #i am very aware that schmuck is not worth the mental energy #but the gall to be like 'oh yeah all my free time is devoted to my kids and my ex-wife that i am not in any way over'#'but your familial responsibilities and lack of a car means you're the problem'#'and also means you should accept you'll never find anyone who'll like you enough to make any compromise for your situation'#'anyway wanna watch me jerk off?'#like jesus christ dude #thoughts and prayers for your ex #also the same guy who declared being lonely surely did not bother me as much as him bc by now i was 'used to it'#no great loss #but for about a day and a half it was nice to think a reasonably attractive guy would be interested in me #but y'know #pipe dream right?

i think that some people have fully lost the plot. maybe i’m just a cupcake, but idk, i personally think that if you want to abolish prison and death penalty and you want rehabilitative justice to exist, you kinda shouldn’t rejoice when people who were in clear need of help and who were victims of abuse in a toxic environment before they became abusers themselves die.

like, i don’t know, but i do think that death is kind of a fucked up thing to wish for people who fucked up if you preach about changing the system, making the world a better place, owning up to your wrongdoings and the harm you’ve caused and becoming a better person, and redemption. whether you like the people or not.

maybe it’s just me, but it does feel hypocritical and makes everything you say about social justice performative at best. but what do i know!

#this just comes from a place of being like. scared of people #it’s scary to think of people who want to decide who deserves rehab and redemption and who doesn’t getting in positions of power #it’s not that different from what we have now tbh but y’know. sounds bad bc it seems to come from people who most days claim to be fair #and i’m not saying they are not within their rights of disliking and feeling repulsed by people who abuse others #they totally are. and i don’t think you even need a ‘problematic’ reason to dislike someone #about the case that’s bringing up these thoughts. i didn’t even like this person anymore. i think he did fucked up things and hadn’t owned u #to those things. which sucks. but i wouldn’t have wanted this outcome bc i’ll always want people to learn and apologize and get better.#but the thing is #but when fairness rehab justice and grace are suddenly thrown out the window when you don’t like someone… well. that’s not any different #than the systems we currently have in the world #again. maybe i’m just too dumb or too delusional. but oh well
