#sorry but that take is rancid

I think there's a more indepth conversation to be had about masculinity and sexual position preference and how they're not mutually exclusive. And sure there is a certain point where characters can be made out to be incredibly OC and it can be irritating to see that adopted as the fanon norm, but at the end of the day its harmless fun, and the guage with which we use to measure masculinity doesn't begin and end with "raised by Batman" or "I'm insecure and must have a rigid gender binary in my media and fandom experience because my worldview deems personal grooming and using soap as effeminate" but I guess we're not there yet.

anyway wally tops because stamina and dick bottoms because flexibility and also because he likes it up the ass, but that's just my opinion

"the term 'theyfab' is a way for trans girls to communicate they don’t feel safe or respected in the trans community even by TME non-binary people” girl you don't mean this. you cannot possibly expect anyone to buy that lmao. you are full of shit. im so fuckin sick of white girls. c'mon. just own that shit and say its an insult girl its ok. i insult people all the time. but you cant afford to have this stone-throwing habit when you're renting a glass apartment bestie. acting like theyfab has ever meant anything other than "woman lite" - and basically functioned as an accusation of being a poser in the queer community - is just downright disingenuous.

CRACKS KNUCKLES heres some parasocial nonsense. pls dont take too serious im just being silly.

insp by @inchidentally the 814 essay GOAT… Hi.

Okyeah analyzing this video and recent posts.

So Like. oscar piastri being the normalTm guy whos still w his hs sweetheart, wears graphic tees and beat up af1s and still vacations w the guys he grew up w, who was actually kinda socialized (as well as any other well-off posh kid who’s parents could afford the luxury of fucking them off to boarding school i digress).. but like, he played pranks w the Lads and got congratulatory slaps on the back, his first crushes wer probs navigated in small talk during class and walking together in the halls? generally just a guy who balanced his social life and Career to Some relatively healthy degree so it’s not like Completely foreign to him how to talk to girls and make friends. and so he gets that building an intimate relationship w someone is mostly just hanging out, experiencing new food tgthr, new movies, walking around a new city, he just gives such a NORMAL GUY answer of a perfect date, and i think part of being socialized the way he was gave him the understanding that grandiose gestures of love kinda just come off as disingenuous. oscar jus reads as a guy whos never resorted to showboating bc his introduction to romance was just like anyone else, awkward shuffling and bonding on the weekends over pizza and homework. and even as a formula 1 RACE WINNER GUY W MONEY hiiiiii, he still has such a cute simple recipe for a perf date bc hes been through it. he knows how to court someone bc it worked and its been working!!!

then on the flip u have THE peacock tm, shirt unbuttoned so low might as well forgo it atp, lando norris whos perfect date idea is hi, (wtf.) YACHT. and sex (exhibitionist freak. sorry who said that…) like boyyyy oh my god shakes him by the shoulders u are so not normal. lando norris, who’s always ben a little comfier than his peers growing up. always out of place bc his dads pockets were Open and Ready to ensure he never had to worry about pinching pennies in a spar for some chips after class Yeah and he doesnt even know it bc thats NEVER been his life? yeaaa and add in a dash of Always being on the race track, never rly socializing w. girls or boys who weren’t in direct competition w him, turning 19 and immediately being sized up to his older hyper-masculine charming And sexy teammate. (getting carried away mb)

lando himself explaining that having to grow up so fast and be a good boy (His words.) prevented him from finding his footing in social settings and only now being able to experience these things at 23/24?!

i digress now also factor in his (alleged…) favorite movie is a silly romcom?! (also maybe just peacocking tho bc “girls love a guy w a soft side” and lando wld know bc he watched one movie about it…. like srsly u want me to believe the hangover and stepbrothers belong in the same category as Romcom u dont rmbr the name of okk weirdo)

so yea of course a boy who’s never passed notes to his crush in class, never asked anyone to a dance, never pulled pranks w his schoolmates, Understands intimacy thru cheesy romcoms an weekends emptying his dads wallet on flights to wtv racing event. LIKE OF COURSE he thinks romance is wtv he can mimic from A. how his dad showed him love (…$$..) and B. what the movies r saying ! (thats socially repressed twin.) AND THE GAG OF IT ALL!!!! is he thinks he is so suave so playboy, “i have sex and let me announce about it publicly in case u doubted it” when the reality of it is like? dude u are thirst-liking instagram models while oscar is Getting it every night ur such a loser omfg.

just Like. Ugh the juxtaposition of oscar whos so secure in himself in his dad shorts and ANKLE socks and lando who just grew out of his awkwardness in his early 20s and now Needs to slut himself out to make up for lost time.

(AND. the double gag is landos still so obviously not secure abt the fact he Doesnt Really Know what hes doing that every one can see it ouhmygodd lando x chernobyl levels of imposter syndrome u are so complicated and angsty U TEENAGE GIRL. holds a can of diet coke to his lips. there there girl. there there.)

I know I just got done with ranting about tfp/rid2015 starscream’s character but, if you couldn’t tell by my other rid2015 posts, I’m obsessed with rid2015 bumblebee and when I tell you I love this scene of bumblebee making fun of starscream I’m not exaggerating it’s so cathartic to me

“But bumblebee is a good/hero character, why is he being so mean—” did you forget how much starscream hurt bumblebee in tfp?

He killed cliffjumper who, while probably not as close to bee as he was to arcee, was still close friends with bee

He stole the omega keys from the autobots’ base and handed them over to megatron, practically dooming Cybertron at the time to be remade in megatron’s image — of course the autobots get them back last minute, but that doesn’t change how much that loss effected all of them (evidence: optimus shouting in anger for the first and to my memory only time in the series) — including bumblebee

And his greatest offense towards bumblebee in my opinion—

DESTROYING BUMBLEBEE’S T-COG

“But it was silas and M.E.C.H. that took it in the first place—” HE DIDN’T NEED TO HELP SILAS USE IT AFTERWARDS “but Ratchet was able to fix it—” THAT DOESN’T GET RID OF THE TRAUMA THAT WHOLE EXPERIENCE CAUSED HIM

It’s also incredibly fucked once you think about it more because the t-cog is literally a cybertronian organ — while silas is at least mostly detached from how screwed this is since it’s more like taking parts from a robot than surgery to humans, starscream shouldn’t be since he’s also a cybertronian

Instead of being freaked out and recognizing how messed up silas’ actions are like any rational bot would, he helps silas make his fake-bot-that’s-using-another-bot’s-stolen-organ work by providing him with energon (the [at the time] incredibly scarce resource that helps all bots survive) and — after that plan falls through because of bumblebee finding them — he destroys the bot’s organ for no reason other than he wanted to escape and thought that was a good way to distract him

I just—I’m sorry?? I feel like bumblebee is incredibly justified for clowning on this cringefailure of a bot for what he’s done to him

And this isn’t even mentioning what he’s done against the autobots as a whole (both on and off screen) that has probably hurt bumblebee by proxy

I feel like it’d be justified if bee also killed starscream — he already got to kill the bot that destroyed his voice box, I think bee deserves another murder as a treat <3

/joking but also what if—*gets shot by tfp/rid2015 starscream fans*

12. dacryphilia loscar? if u felt so inclined? (i am taking the williams news well)

Logan is crying.

Logan, at least for as long as Oscar has known him, isn't a crier. They both get a bit misty-eyed during Pixar movies. They both tear up at the occasional health insurance ad, commercials for animal sanctuaries, the normal stuff.

But Logan shows up at Oscar's new Monaco flat and he's already got tear-wet cheeks and Oscar lets him in. He knows, obviously. He knows what's happening. He knows why Logan is here and why he starts to sob the second the door shuts behind him.

It's devastation. Cataclysmic, the whole earth cracking apart.

Logan's the one who kisses him first. Oscar's never been great at comforting people; it's easier to sit quiet and let them come to him when they're ready, when they know what they need. And Logan needs to be kissed, apparently.

Sex is an easy next step.

They make it to bed, which is miraculous with the way Logan's shaking. He's still sobbing when Oscar lays him down. Oscar kisses his cheeks with the kind of desperate nuzzling you get out of a stressed out pet, trying to understand what the fuck is wrong with its owner. He kisses Logan's lips, and he kisses his neck and he asks, over and over, if he's sure he wants to do this, right now.

Logan says yes, yes, yes, with such hollow desolation that Oscar could never, ever say no.

So he fucks Logan. He fucks him and Logan doesn't stop crying the whole time and the longer Oscar thinks about it the more he realizes how weird it is that he's managed to stay hard. How he managed to get hard in the first place. Obviously he's attracted to Logan and Logan turns him on but this? This shouldn't. He shouldn't be turned on by Logan's flushed face, his puffy pink eyes, his swollen mouth. He shouldn't be turned on when he licks Logan's tear-streaked jaw and tastes salt.

At least Logan seems to be into it too. Even as he's wracked with it, with the choking sobs and an agony that looks like it's being torn out of every fibre of him, he's still hard too. His dick looks as red-raw as his face.

When Oscar tells him, breathless, that he's going to come, Logan grabs his cock and starts jacking himself off so hard and fast that it has to hurt. Like he's racing. Like he's got to finish somewhere first.

And he does; Oscar holds on long enough that he feels it when Logan starts spasming around him, insides clenching, whining-sobbing-moaning as he shoots all over his stomach. He fucks Logan through it because he can, holding himself taut until he can't hold it anymore.

He quiets, after. He lays in Oscar's mess of a bed staring at the ceiling, eyes bloodshot, as Oscar cleans him up. Starts at the bottom and works his way up; climbs back into bed next to him with a box of tissues that Logan has the lucidity to take and use himself. Oscar's not sure he's got it in him to, like, wipe Logan's nose for him or anything.

And they don't talk about it, after. They don't talk about the crying or the way they both got off on it. They don't talk about where Logan's going next. They don't talk about the seat.

send kink(s) and ship(s) and maybe i will write more hell things

[perilegs]

i'm trying to watch a trans guy critique some video game trans rep bc i'm interested in hearing more trans ppl talk about it. but he's very. i'm paraphrasing here but "why would anyone ever in a million years want their rpg character to have top surgery scars. isnt that a constant reminder to you and everyone around you about how you were born" and "you don't work on transitioning. you just need hormone treatment and possibly some--"

Number 21 for the game? Be as rancid as you like :)

21. part of canon you think is overhyped

Rancid license received. Rancid takes will be delivered swiftly! :D

Ok so I will defend TCW to my last dying breath, and yet as someone who used to think that Star Wars lore is so messy due to the decades of multimedia, I have to say that just this show alone LOVES to contradict itself. I've done the sweaty stinky TCW worldbuilding research and by all accounts it doesn't make sense. The goddamn Hardeen arc 💀 this show manages to pull off the most world-breaking shit in such an entertaining and endearing way that it becomes easy to look past the glaring screaming flaws somehow. Like yknow. It's good!! I has substance! It also sucks a little though?? (<- quintessential Star Wars experience ig)

Also, the Mandalorians, or at least the part of their culture that everyone zooms in on. You know the one. It's been sucked completely dry for me and I've always felt a lil icky about the portrayal of this hashtag ancient highly religious highly militaristic people in The Mandalorian. That mix of societal traits never bodes well. It feels like the writers of the Mandalorian and adjacent shows like TBoBF didn't realize that and glorified their own creation to an uncomfortable degree. TCW actually handled this pretty well, with Mandalore being troubled and torn by its martial traditions and dragged down by a power-seeking traditionalist militia, because that's just what tends to happen in societies like that. The Mandalorian though... idk season 3 was too much of a mess to even say anything abt it lmao I'm just unbelievably sick of Grogu's face. Chucking this green gnome with malicious intent, hope something eats him like he ate that lizard lady's unhatched children!

oh come on, where’s my option to join forces and two team them? or cheer her on from the sidelines even. chie can wreck shit actually i don’t want to deny her that

[galwithalibrarycard]

Every time I see a tweet from the Elongated Muskrat on my tumblr dash, I momentarily think his little icon picture is a picture of Brennan Lee Mulligan. I can’t think of a more devastating insult to Brennan than someone (me) even accidentally thinking he looks like Musk, and I am wracked with guilt every time this happens.

was considering turning this blog into a general fandoms blog but tbh the dungeon meshi fandom is exhibiting some vile behavior after that last ep...

Just finished coriolanus and I.....hngngng something about violence as a metaphor for queer love and the way that this play is so focused on masculine identity through violence.....

yeah, yeah. i feel you. on returning to the play for a seminar paper, i was so struck by how in some ways, coriolanus himself is a figure of that ideal of masculinity-as-defined-by-violence taken too far. so far that it completely disfigures him. i was fascinated by how often he is imagined by others as disjointed wounded body parts. menenius and volumnia meticulously recount each of his wounds and where they sit on him—one on the shoulder, the left arm, on the neck, two on the thigh. twenty-seven in total following the taking of corioles. cominius calls him "a thing of blood" (2.2.104), whatever the hell that means. menenius even claims "the wounds become him" (2.1.120). he's engulfed by wounds—unique in the sense that they represent something physical—the literal scarred tissue on the body—but also something lacking. a cut is an empty space. i don't even know what to say about the citizen who claims they should stick their tongue in his wounds and speak for them—a weirdly specific violation. god and when he's told to sit put in the senate to hear the stories of his wounds recounted once again for political points, and has to plead to be let leave to try to heal, to become whole again. and all this because he's so good at being the pinnacle of violent masculinity—but really, it's that he's not allowed to be anything more than that at all. and it's all good until it's a threat to rome!

and the queer intimacy. the homoeroticism present is almost so weirdly blatant that it feels like there isn't much to say about it. i remember reading it last year for class and we all just laughed through my professor reading aufidius recounting his gay ass dreams about coriolanus because like. what the hell. shakespeare's most marlowe moment of all time honestly. and i mean, soldiers on the battlefield enter into a space where they're surrounded only by other men with the unique peril of the threat of violence that brings them together in comradery, and like, yeah, sometimes also gay sex i guess. certainly, violence is a part of it here too. coriolanus's use of the wedding bed metaphor comes with the elation of seeing comunius on the battlefield. but the moment with aufidius in 4.5 feels different to me because it's almost like a moment where the homoeroticism is off the battlefield, i am always struck by how coriolanus is essentially like "you can slit my throat and i'd completely understand." he expects aufidius to enact violence on him. but aufidius embraces him ("here i clip the anvil of my sword." clip means to embrace. but the anvil and sword kinda problematize my point here i guess, they're image of war, too). maybe the violence can never be escaped actually, wait maybe that's why their intimacy fails too. anyway. literally had that revelation while rereading this to post it.

Did this ship chart for the guys :)

[streets-in-paradise]

It may be absolutely unfaithfull to the true characterization, but I love Troy version of Agamemnon. As a villian he is fucking hilarious, just check on this:

The inside of the throne room of his palace in Mycenae

and now look at the inside of his tent in the greek camp

It looks literally the same, he made it be copied in every detail ... Even the fucking throne.

His throne is right there, i can't get over that. It is unclear if the motherfucker has a replica or may have ordered the original be carried away to Troy with him

[nolongeronlyhereforthewhispangle]

*taps mic* Is this thing on- okay-

My partner is omnisexual. I am a heterosexual.

Does this make them any less valid of an omnisexual? Absolutely not.

Just because we’re not able to be distinguished as a “queer relationship” at first glance doesn’t mean she’s any less queer, okay?

Mkay.

KANA'S OUTFIT IS ELDRITCH HORROR LEVELS OF MADDENING. That blue thing

What is that. If it's a harness IT'S A VERY WEIRD ONE. I couldn't find a single one with the horizontal belts this far apart. And where are the buckles lady??? If it's an apron then like... it's kind of ugly! What are those blue edges girl! And where the hell does her shirt end? I can't tell, mister Ohta. Why did you draw it like that?

Those are the only two ways I can possibly imagine this LOVECRAFTIAN apron looking like it does. I still like it though
