Queer as Folk – 4.09: Have Some Balls

saving these photos for the purpose of the narrative…………..everybody say thank you corinne

i originally added this on maisie's (@fairyboygenius) post but this needs it's own space, in relation to this, because the "tradwife fantasy" is driving me up a fucking wall

did people forget about the forced reproduction of enslaved women in this country?

or how gynecological studies were started?

or the forced sterilization of women of color brought on by the eugenics movement?

or the fact that women of color weren't recognized by gender alongside their white counterparts, that that came much later?

or even present day, who exactly are the people keeping house for wealthy families and looking after their children?

it's literally in the foundation of so many wealthy countries. it's unavoidable and inescapable. unless you're white, apparently

I don't know what I love more, the fact that as rook you can make a statement in NO uncertain terms that you are NOT responsible one way or the other for the theological implications of the shit you're discovering in the 'regrets of the dread wolf' memories. not my jurisdiction. quite simply none of my business. not my chantry circus not my chantry monkeys. irrelevant to the matter at hand here we'll kill that god if we get to him he can get in line. or if the best thing about it is seeing the lone little 'lucanis approves' that pops up right after choosing it. corvid with a knife about to commit deicide keeping it real and sensibly, pragmatically, wilfully agnostic with me here in this magical lighthouse today

“Aaravos needs to pay for his crimes!! Raaa!!”

Okay but do the dragons and elves not or-

Edit: I’d like to highlight again that this is not an apologist post. This is a post pointing out despite leading pretty similar paths, Aaravos is the one expected to carry the absolute responsibility compared to figures like say Sol Regum and Avizandum who were known to bully, oppress and slaughter (innocent)humans. The parallels between Thunder and Aaravos are particularly intriguing when you consider they both lost children and made people pay for it be it directly or not, but we still don’t see the dragons as being in the wrong.

While I intend this blog to remain a largely news-free space due to the constant hellstate of the world, let me be clear that I stand in full support of both the Palestinian and Jewish peoples who are currently experiencing relentless hate and suffering in these horrid times.

I am disgusted at the number of people, especially "progressives" on this website who have used this situation to spread both Islamophobia and Antisemitism. This goes double if you dared to reblog those "punch nazis/fascists <3" and "[x] are welcome here!" posts while in the next breath spreading dangerous fucking narratives that kill people.

So many people in online political spaces evidently see this as nothing more than a case of picking "sides", when ultimately what matters is supporting the oppressed against fascist governments and militias, wherever they are.

Common people will always have more alike with each other than their leaders. This is not a novel concept. Your activism should always be motivated by love and compassion first, and hatred second. If you use your beliefs as an excuse to find an acceptable target to vent your hatred towards regardless of the actual material outcome, you are no fucking activist.

You're a bigot.

GAH I see u saying u have idea for a sequel……

if you planned to make the sequel after the fic is finished, what would it be about? (The general plot/idea)

I will be stingy on the details (sorry!) but it'll be a genuine attempt at redemption for both of them! A chance to work through their issues. And the title will follow the BABBA naming convention from kmky 🥳

I don't want to say much more until the fic ends BC the way it ends informs the sequel and I want folks to have the ending of the fic hit as hard as it should, and also I'm hoping to keep the original ideas I have somewhat off the market until the fic is up so when it hits AO3 it'll be the first folks have seen these ideas. They will be worth the wait though! Promise 🤫

You might not fuck with politics. But politics will ABSOLUTELY fuck with you. GO VOTE US BEANS. Your vote matters, even if you think it won't.

Yes. I'm tired of it too-- but I don't have the luxury of ignoring it. Because it will affect me profoundly. So here's hoping by this time tomorrow we're crowning the first female president because I don't wanna think about the alternative.

I'm sorry if this subject is uncomfortable for some, but I quite frankly do not give a shit. The fact of the matter is that this is the single most important US presidential election in the history of our country.

I'll be getting outrageously high this evening to avoid the worry that comes with being an openly queer & disabled person in a place where-- if this goes one way-- I'll be having to flee the country as a result.

IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO VENT TO ABOUT ELECTION RESULTS if Hitler 2.0 wins, my inbox and DMs are open. Please don't harm yourself. We will persevere.

Behold: A Fan OC - Dete

This is Dete (pronounced "Deu-tuh"), a fan-OC to the wonderful original world/universe of @uxuefrog with the current placeholder title: "The Elf Princess."

She's some bird-folk lady who has a condition that caused her to be unable to grow feathers. She just wants to live her life in peace, along with her constant battle with protecting herself from the sun, thermoregulatory issues and trying not to make kids cry with her appearance.

She doesn't talk much, but adults assume she's a good listener, so she's often stuck with someone blabbing all their dark secrets and dramatic life stories away, while all she wants is to tend to her greenhouse and concoct new oils and remedies for her never-ending struggle with the management of her own health.

No one knows where she's from or what she went through, but they'll often hear her sing in a foreign language when she thinks she's alone.

She exists now and I can lay this Fan-OC to rest. Thanks for your grace in allowing us to draw OC's inspired by your world and style, it was fun to draw her, Froggy! <3

I'll edit this post to include her in her usual cloaked and covered fit, I was just too impatient to finish and posted recklessly >_<

I don't know WHY, but for some reason I've had a vision of a Golden Ratio Slay the Princess AU.

I genuinely don't know why, maybe it's because of Ratio's owl motif and one of 2.1 quests being named A Cat Among Pigeons (in reference to Agatha Christie and possibly Aventurine's role) and then later owning three black cakecats even if he's mostly associated with peacocks? Maybe it's because I somehow associate Aventurine's many masks and personas we see over the time we know him with the Shifting Mound's many perspectives and how both her and him are so confident their respective foil won't kill or betray them at the end of everything (and are even fine with it if it does happen), how both the Princess and Aventurine always, always fight for freedom and are denied it until the very end of their story when they finally are granted a true escape through their own efforts and an outside force be it through being show the way or death? How they're both connected to a being so much larger than them but have no say over it (the Princess being seen as only a part/perspective of the Shifting Mound even if she can be found at her heart, Aventurine was blessed by Gaiathra Triclops and ultimately none of that did them any good).

Or maybe it's because I can practically hear this line from the Princess coming out of Aventurine's mouth to Ratio the more close he is to knowing who the real Aventurine is after I woke up in a cold sweat from a nap to write this out:

"Have you figured out what you want to do yet, or are you going to keep trying to find a center that doesn't exist?"

(The Princess saying this about herself and how she's the heart of the Shifting Mound and hasn't really been herself or stopped playing a role through the entirety of the game, but in this context Aventurine saying that there is no 'Kakavasha' or 'No.35' or even 'Aventurine' anymore, just the many masks he wears even though he admits to himself he hasn't changed)

I have no idea if this is anything though or if it would fit their characters at all though. Maybe it's just a silly vision I'll write out one day, maybe not.
