#that was a lot?

Oh hon 🫂🫂

I read your url as all one word, so hearing the explanation behind it, it's beautiful 🥹

Whew. I was on tumblr back in the 2013-2014 days before fanfiction was a huge thing on here. I was mostly there for gifs of Sherlock (and as a bonus I still have that random Tumblr Sherlock-inspired song on my iPod lol)

When tumblr announced the porn ban, idk what i was smoking on. I thought it meant tumblr was shutting down for good. But then I got back into Sims during covid and knew that tumblr was still around but juss never bothered to explore.

Last year, my friend asked if I had one and I said yes and ended up discovering a whole world on here lol. I was reading mostly white-coded fanfic and I thought, yknow, I could make a new tumblr and share my writing. I wanted a blog where no one knew me, no one knows it's me, I wanna sink or swim based on just my writing. And when I discovered x black reader? Baby, I never looked back.

And i had juss read a post about someone completely misunderstanding Megamind and the story. They tried to call him sexist and all kinds of BS and I was like nooooo. So megamind stuck in my brain. Chuz ya I'm often misunderstood and I overexplain a lot (as in this post)

And i thought well, I like the secret part. I didn't tell anyone irl either for the longest. My cousin knows now. And I juss went with the dastardly, villainy, underground, spy theme of it all. So it became MegamindSecretLair. 😁

It was supposed to be a placeholder name but ppl started referring to me as Mega and i love it so I don't want to change it.

what's the story behind your username?

pygmi-cygni

mine's from my favorite constellation, 61 cygni, which is a binary star in the larger constellation Cygnus. it's also very tiny, hence the pygmi bit.

tag someone whose username intrigues you!

@ominoose

@my-secret-shame specifically your ao3 one though

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

People will claim to be a fan of some thing and then hate all of the themes and motifs and story lines and plot lines and protagonists and antagonists like man I don’t think that you actually like it here

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

The secret Dungeon Meshi sauce that's getting people to eat better is that it's so non-judgmental. Senshi and the rest of the gang never talk about what not to eat besides things that taste bad and literal poison. They don't even talk about "health" that much besides the importance of a balanced diet. It's so much easier to eat well when you think of food simply as something your body needs, and that it's often worth the extra effort to make it taste good, especially when you understand how to connect "things your body needs" with "things that taste good"

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
