Listen. LISTEN. I love how deadpool jokes about his attraction to men. I never want that aspect of the movies to change. Never let the gay jokes stop.
HOWEVER. If we ever get another deadpool film, I kinda hope that he will start joking about his attraction to women, too.
#it just feels a little unbalanced#he has the one (1) female love interest and it's fine that we take that seriously#but the fact that outside of that he only ever jokes about getting with men and doesn't show any interest in other women kind of bugs me#i get that attraction to different genders can look very differently in the same person#but the fact that he doesn't show literally ANY interest in other women#while being completely fine flirting with men#feels like they're not treating his canonical(!) attraction to men seriously and that bothers me#even if just a little bit#deadpool#deadpool and wolverine

transphobes always make us sound so much cooler than we actually are. I wish I was some kind of society-toppling satanic eldritch abomination with an incomprehensible physical form instead of some guy who just spent his evening watching youtube videos about weird bugs and eating gardettos
#why is all bug drama just fucking nightmare fuel#they're all out there mind controlling each other and cooking each other alive and eating each other from the inside out#they're committing cannibalism and matriphagy and whatever is up with those beetles that are born pregnant#it's like if x-men was a horror series#that's not even getting into what fungi do to them#everything about bugs and how they live makes me question the existence of a loving god more than any personal misfortune ever could#this has gotten somewhat off track#but I am perpetually haunted by the knowledge that billions of insects are experiencing unthinkable horrors every day#and it's just normal for them

#Fifteen episode 2. Mmmmmmhhhhhh#The animation quality DOES get worse. This episode shows it lol#So many static frames stretching for so long... I feel so sorry for the animators.#I still stand by the fact that if studios can't provide enough budget or time to their animators seasons simply shouldn't be released.#But after all who am I to talk...#The scene of Dazai shooting at the soldier makes my blood freeze. Rimbaud throwing books in the fire is equally upsetting#Like I /know/ it's an anime about literature with constant metafiction references–#and that this too has a symbolic meaning and is *supposed* to be upsetting but that said.#Seeing whole books being thrown in the fire is such a disturbing sight that calls for such a visceral response in me 😭😭😭#The amv opening is nice! Makes me even more bitter about season 5 one lmao. Of the kind#“not only we had to get a amv opening (((while we deserved a wholly ss/kk focused opening)))‚ we even got a bad amv ending at that”#Mmmmhhhh I hateeeeeee how they handled the Sheep 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Seriously this is just another bug instance of#“me and the author have WHOLLY different views of what human nature is like”#I just... Don't think... Children joining together in an hostile environment would act like that. I'm so much more of a t/pn kind of guy.#Children who come together to survive would protect each other and especially would trust each other. Why is there such a big lack of trust#Why doesn't Shirase trust Chuuya? Why doesn't Chuuya trust Shirase (with handling more information)? It's just dumb#It's dumb. It sounds stupid from the very plot aspect that Chuuya would act so shady and suspicious with the Sheep instead of being open–#about what his course of action is. It's like he was trying to have them turn on him. It's stupid of Shirase to mistrust Chuuya–#when in eight years he never gave them any reason to doubt of him.#And I know right as I'm writing this that someone is going to read it and think “you're completely missing on the unbalance of power that–#creates these dynamics of lack of trust” but the thing is exactly that I don't see why that unbalance of power would ever come to be!#They're all just kids. They're aware of that. If Chuuya never had malicious intentions towards Shirase‚ I don't see why he would ever fear–#his betrayal. Likewise‚ I don't see why Shirase and the other Sheep members would ever be so manipulative and disrespectful towards–#Chuuya if he's been nothing but kind to them (and we have no reason to think otherwise)?#It all comes down to: I think people are inherently good and willing to help each other. The author thinks not lmao. It is what it is#But I wish you could see t/pn. Where kids are constantly trying to outwit each other in order to OUT-SACRIFICE THEMSELVES for the others lo#I love t/pn it's my life... I miss it#random rambles#And if anyone would like to argue that Dazai specifically set them off to betray each other... Yes I DO understand that's what the story–#is suggesting. I just don't think Dazai - for how good. and infallible he is - is enough to scrape long-term relationships of trust.

A little funfact
I headcanon PK as an introvert (I mean. Duh. Being a recluse is like one of the few things we know about him) and Flower as extrovert/ambivert with severe anxiety
🤝 socially awkward brothers in arms
#thylacines can talk#faaf au#headcanons#well to be fair i think pk would have some anxiety too. ive seen some people write him like that. personally im not sure if enough to be#classified as a disorder i personally see him as an extreme introvert with some anxious tendencies#meanwhile i think mx never got to be a person or interact with others normally till adulthood is like social anxiety and agorophobia#itself concentrated into a person. i think they have a large social battery and would enjoy going out and kots of stimuli and recharge#while they're around people. i think while they can handle being alone they truly thrive around other people. so you can imagine when their#life was majority not being able to socialise with anyone in any meaningful way it was very grating for them#theyre like an ambivert leaning more towards an extroverted side for me. they also just have so many disorders and problems as the result of#their trauma and upbringing. I think they'd slowly come out of their shell after they get a therapist and Bug Medication tm but there will#always be this lingering fear at the back of their head. They'll be mostly healed with time. But not cured.#oh and also 🤝 both autistic and have troubles with social cues

casually musing over whether being insufferably pedantic about not calling them 'seagulls' is meaningfully what my first boyfriend is like as a person or if that was one of his personal symptoms of being eighteen
#'they're not SEAgulls they're Just Gulls 😤' okay bud! in what conceivable way does that matter to anything#is calling them 'seagulls' actually worse than 'gulls' when we're talking about the one(1) species native to our local meijer parking lot#is calling them 'seagulls' misleading or unclear in any way or is it just like. not ~Technically Correct~#he was likewise Like That about using 'bugs' for anything other than hemiptera#and again-- I too was once a weird little nerd and also eighteen. I was weirdly fussy about my own inconsequential pedantries#do you know how long I had to be on tumblr to relax my punctuation and capitalization use in casual contexts#and not be Weird and Judgey about others' (clearly intentionally) lax typing styles#[texting him for the first time in two years] hey has being 34 and a literal professor of birds made you better or worse about 'seagull'

my blog is a safe space for neo&xeno genders&pronouns.
i saw a post bitching about it so i wanna make this clear. i will never judge someone for the gender they identify as or the pronouns they choose to use.
for anyone who thinks that neo&xeno pronouns give the community a bad name i need you to get the fuck off the internet for five minutes and go interact with someone in person. people who use neos&xenos are not expecting anyone to use them. they fully understand that people most likely won't, which is why the first pronoun(s) they'll introduce is he, she, and/or them. then the rest follows. "its selfish to want people to use random words as pronouns. yeah. guess what? it's also selfish to want people to use your own preferred pronouns. it's selfish to want people to call you your name. it's selfish to want people to address you in any specific way. you know why that is? because your identity is something you get to be selfish about.
YOU get to decide how people address you. YOU get to decide your pronouns, your choice of identity, your name, your appearance, etc. you get to be selfish about who you are as a person. it is YOUR LIFE. BE SELFISH ABOUT HOW YOU EXIST. THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT. "you can't expect people to use those pronouns" you can. and you should. it's called basic fucking manners. you address people how they ask to be addressed and they address you how you want to be addressed. what you can't expect is for someone to use your preferred pronouns when you refuse to use theirs.
i don't use any explicit neopronouns now (unless ny/nym counts, but i see them as xenopronouns? i dont fully know the difference though), but i used to. and you know what? i didn't give two shits when everyone used they/them. my neopronoun wasn't there for people to use, it was for me to have. because it was fun and i liked it. only my close friends used my neopronoun and it was one of my favorite things. because i knew strangers who were never intending to stay in my life were never going to use them. and at times i found i didn't want strangers to use it because it felt personal. like it was a nickname that only friends could say. i obviously don't speak for the entire community, but im sharing my experience with using neos to show that the chances of finding anyone who expects strangers to use their neopronouns are slim to nothing. they truly don't expect it.
neo&xeno pronouns and genders dont give the community a bad name, and most people truly do not care if they exist. "people aren't going to take you seriously" literally who the fuck cares? because i don't. and i guarantee those who use neos&xenos dont give a shit either. the whole point of pride is be proud of who you are regardless of who you love and what you identify as. neos&xenos have been around for a long ass time, and there are several people who used neos&xenos of their own that fought for people to be able to express them as freely as any other sexuality or gender. you don't get to exclude that community just because you don't like it. that's not your call to make.
i dont care if you're queer, trans, a poc, mentally ill, or disabled. i don't care what cringey fandom you're in or what kids' game/show you still watch/play or what fan media you create or what ocs/sonas/self inserts you have. i dont care what religion you follow or if you dont follow one at all. as long as you are a good person this is a safe space for you. and you can go through life knowing that someone out there loves you with no conditions attached, even if i dont know you. the way that you identify is valid. don't ever change yourself because someone, especially a stranger who knows nothing about you, tells you that you need to. you are perfect as you are. your identity is yours. don't let anyone else control it. because the only one who you can ever guarantee will be by your side until the very end is yourself. keep you happy.
#long post#i didn't really mean for this post to get so long but this topic is so important to me#and that's not even mentioning how a lot of things people claim are neos are just she/he/them in a different language#i hate how such a big part of the community is so openly transphobic towards neos&xenos.#its fucking disgusting. grow up#i am not sorry if you are offended by this post. if you dont like it get the fuck off my blog. block me right fucking now.#let people live their fucking life. they're not hurting anyone#just because you arent happy with your life doesnt mean others cant be happy with theirs#if neos and xenos bug you THAT much get off the internet. i hate saying this but you are genuinely chronically online. go enjoy the sun#there's bigger problems in the world than someone using meow/meowself as pronouns#neopronouns#xenopronouns#will be going back to sonic posts now but i needed to make this so if any antis are following me they can leave

I can't believe I walked into my first (ish) day of work at a new part time job today and basically said "why are you all so white" 💀💀💀
#i'm working in a forensic hospital#and the first thing they did was bring me to rounds#which was a meeting with like all of the psychiatrists and nurses and stuff#and literally everyone there was white (or perhaps white passing- i dont know everyone's ethnicity)#and afterwards my boss asked me if i had any questions or thoughts#and the first thing i said was that everyone in that meeting was white#WHY DID I DO THAT???#I mean. I was trying to call attention to the fact that maybe they should be employing more diversely#especially given the fact that they're treating a highly racialized population#(black and indigenous peoples are incarcerated at higher rates in canada)#But. it really wasn't my place to say really.#i'm just there as a research assistant to help them build their database#my opinions on the people they hire really have NO weight#though. it was bugging me in particular that one of the nurses was talking about a patient being agitated#and calling another person names#and the nurse was like 'and he called him everything other than a white man!'#and i'm just there like 'okay why does that matter? 😭'#i didnt bring that up though. not good to complain about your new fucking coworkers#i also dont think i explained my reasoning for mentioning that we had a really white group very well#i started fumbling when i acknowledged that there could have just been white passing people there#and then he asked me to explain what that term meant 💀💀💀

I'm trying to find ways to slowly ease my way into taking walks (debilitating social anxiety) so I was going to download pokemon go again but my phone is too old :(
#im actually very upset abt this lol#all of the other tricks ive found rely on having a dog to walk#and like i would love to get my own dog but i absolutely cannot afford one lmao#so i guess i just. still can't go on walks#nobody seems to understand just how impossible it is for me to walk down the street when im not trying to get somewhere#like just going for a walk for fun/to look at nature feels like im being killed#people are LOOKING at me and when someone even so much as glances at me while im walking i instantly feel like I'm doing something wrong#or like they're going to misunderstand my sort of odd behaviors#i can't walk slow because they'll think im a stalker. i can't walk fast because ill get out of breath and they'll think im disgusting#i can't keep a normal pace because im too nervous and i just spend the whole time tense and hate myself even more when i get home#like. what the hell am i supposed to do lol#getting a dog is the only way i think i could stop myself from spiraling like that bc of COURSE im walking slow and leisurely.#im walking my dog. my dog wants to smell and has to poop or whatever#im no longer a freaky fat stalker im just some guy walking my dog#this became more of a vent than i was expecting lmao but if anyone has any actual tangible tips for how to go on walks i would appreciate it#when i had to walk 2 miles to class i used to take a small part of an edible right before i got on the bus lmao and that worked WONDERS#but i don't want to have to do that just to walk around my own neighborhood when i eventually move out#i just want to be normal lmao i want to go out and find bugs and look at leaves#i guess i could walk in the woods but what if i get lost#i want to be able to look at stuff. i want to be able to stop and look at a plant while some person passes by me#without feeling like im going to blow up or like they're going to hit me or like IM going to hit THEM#im used to anxiety but i always feel so erratic in public places. when everyone wore masks i was a little better#i still mask most of the time but it doesn't help anymore bc now im like one of the only people that does it#so now instead of blending in AND having my face covered i just stand out more#my face is still covered so it still helps but its like barely a net positive lmao#i want to be able to look around without worrying that someone is looking at me from their window and thinks im a stalker#truly how the hell am i supposed to do that without a dog lol

My doctor messaging me at 12:30 in the morning to tell me she wants to do a telehealth visit abt the side effects I'm having with my new Lamotrigine dose (including worse insomnia than my usual insomnia, as u may have guessed lmao) is. something.
#text post#like i know why i am awake babe why are YOU awake this late#and god why do we have to do another visit#they aren't bad enough to make me stop this dose and i haven't been on the new dose long enough to let it even out#can i not just Not have to do another uncomfortable visit where even if things turn out okay after#i later feel like I'm still not being wholly trusted/treated like i know my body and how i feel#i had worse side effects restarting this med months ago and we didn't have any additional visits for that#they fucking forgot to even book me for a f/u and i had to call in and beg for one basically#and then they misbooked it for the wrong reason and with the wrong doctor#and made it out like it was my fault when i made clear i begged and told the receptionist i spoke to to book said appt#that it needed to b with my doc for the Lamotrigine and that i hadn't been told when to follow up so i was just. doing it#bc she said i needed to but then didn't say when to book it#they're trying hard and im trying to give them grace but then this shit happens and like#im tired. makes me want to go into my new doc like nah never mind im fine. don't ask me nothing and i won't bug you with anything#unless im dying or nearly dead already.#would suck beyond believe attempting to raw dog life mostly again but goddamn. im so sick of this lack of stability with my care#anyway. probably an appt next Tuesday which is great#that's the week of the weekend that i work again and the week before my bday#(a bday I'll be working now which I'm not normally irked abt but. i am a bit rn)#so cool. yeah. let's stack anxiety and fear over a medical appt on top of everything else for that week#and that's not counting that this weekend I've been tasked with buying and getting signed a v expensive and rare figure#for my mum's bf and I'm kind of terrified im gonna fuck it up#he paid for tickets to the con the figure will be sold at and that the person he wants to sign it will be at#so if i fuck this up he'll want (understandably) to be paid back asap for that#and that's money i don't fucking have rn#i really wish she had waited till the actual day proper to contact me bc i couldn't sleep before this#and now i definitely cant bc like#it's dumb. but what if she takes my med away. it isn't perfect but it works better than any other med I've tried#what if she wants me to try a new one. i cant do that and b dealing with major side effects during the intense work schedule#that'll be happening for me v soon and then into November

i really can't say anything abt dante's nerf bc i barely played him and i do think the wf fandom has a habit of grossly overreacting about everything. sometimes nerfs are necessary and healthy and raging against every nerf that happens is stupid. that being said. the nerf has brought up a lot of genuinely important conversations about how wf's balance is really not in a good place right now and i hope the devs do actually approach that in a meaningful way at some point
#damage 3.0 completely gutted every damage combo that isn't viral/heat#the devs KNOW viral is too strong which is why they keep making enemies who are immune to it#but they're afraid of nerfing it because the backlash from the community would be immediate#corrosive being capped at 80% armor strip made it virtually useless for a lot of high-end content#content in which enemies are getting ever-higher amounts of armor that HAS to be stripped to keep your damage meaningfully high#and now that final 20% has been given back to us as emerald archon shards#a resource that the devs said wasn't intended to be 'necessary' for any build... but IS now necessary for 100% armor strip on most frames.#explosive weapons are basically dead#crowd control frames are basically dead#with ever-increasing numbers of enemies that are just immune to cc#the meta demands the use of frames as just weapon platforms & room-clearers#and dante gets a (bugged to hell) patch within A WEEK of releasing to nerf his 3 & 4#while other room-clearers like saryn (whom i love but c'mon) remain untouched???#idgi.#wfblogging

#A nice episode :) I have a lot of headache tho and forgot everything I wanted to say#The ss/kk is nice :) It's nice every time Akutagawa spontaneously saves Atsushi seemingly with no reason to#The animation was very nice! It's evident a lot of money and effort went into this season and these last episodes in particular#And I like the art style a lot better than the one in the other seasons. Even season 4 where the animation is comparatively as good#What more. The Kyouka screentime is nice. The whole Guild aftermath celebrations section is very nice and heartwarming to watch#I still take a lot of issues with the entire way Kyouka's entrance exam was conceived but I think they're fairly self-explanatory.#Also fundamentally coherent with b/sd's general worldviews so#But even then there's a line that bothers me to an unexplainable amount from the first time I watched it to now.#The “it hurts” when she's hugging Atsushi. And I've reflected over that line so long from the moment I first heard it...#I think. Its meaning is to symbolize how being in the light sometimes will still result to be too overwhelming for Kyouka–#to the point at times it will still end up hurting her. But that doesn't make it any less worth it#So to say‚ there's no such thing as perfect happy endings. But she is going to be okay nonetheless#BUT IT STILL BUGS ME. I feel like it's part of a school of thought for whom we should just accept the fact that there's evil in the world–#that we can't eradicate. And nothing can be done about it. Which I don't think is a functional or useful way of thinking?#ALSO I know it's. Most definitely‚ 99% not how the scene is supposed to be interpreted#BUT ATSUSHI IS THE ONE HUGGING AND THUS HURTING HER and you know how there is this very slight narrative that seemingly–#frames Kyouka and Atsushi as romantic partners and like... Idk.#In that context the line almost feels expression of a narrative of wives having to bear pain that is natural and unavoidable.#I know this definitely wasn't the intended meaning it's just a bad impression for some reason I can't be able to shrug off even after years#But don't listen to me#I don't think there's anything else to add. Overall a very good episode.#Take a shot every time someone says “all according to Dazai's plan”#random rambles

Right wingers being obsessed with the matrix isn't embarrassing because it was made by trans women, it's embarrassing because the matrix is a deeply silly movie. I feel like this is a point that's gotten lost over the years. the matrix is goofy as all get out and it's very funny that so many people have based their deranged quasifacist ideology on a movie where lawrence fishburn teaches keaunu reeves to fly
#to be clear i like the matrix#i just dont think its terribly deep#i think its very good at being what it is#i also think its a feature and not a bug that you can sort of slot any ideology you want into the matrix#the matrix is pretty thematically surface level imo#the message is basically 'dont trust the system'#which idk. maybe read more left leaning in the late 90s#but its so vague you can make 'the system' be whatever you want it to be ykwim#so i dont think ppl who use matrix imagery for right wing shit are missing the point#i think they're just idiots who have never engaged with any genuinely challenging art#anyway sometimes i like to imagine a world where some other vapid 90s popcorn flick caught on with that crowd#what if they were all obsessed with armageddon or lethal weapon 3 or some shit

Mystery bugs in my home and I don't recognize them! I've seen a few around at this point and might make a more formal post about it tomorrow but, mystery bugs below the cut if anyone wants to take a shot at helping me ID them:
Not the best pics but it's got an abdomen with clear markings that make me think either roach or earwig, but photos of the nymphs of either don't seem to be matching up; granted I only looked for maybe 5 minutes and mightve missed something obvious but this guy's not ringing any bells for me
#I'm about to head to bed and have quarantined the perpetrator; i feel a little bad but i dont know what he is yet#I'd feel comfortable letting an earwig or smthn like that hang out but. i have reasonable suspicion hanging around this man#bc the apartment is a little messy and. if he is a roach i may bail and look for another room U_U full respect to them#ive seen lots of pet roaches and they make me quite happy to see but idk if I want them free roaming my house...#especially knowing i can't kill them; last time i killed bugs it was a bunch of ants in the pantry and it took an emotional toll on me 😭#I'd go the long and intensive route if it means i can keep them all alive but i know a lot of people don't swing that way#in that particular case i figured my roommates would prefer the ants to not be able to come back + the way to the backyard#door I would have taken them out of wasn't easily accessible so. massacre it was U_U#if you wanted to know ANYTHING about the type of person i am know that i physically cannot kill a bug or else I'll start crying#they're literally just little guys they're just existing!!! i can't punish them for just hanging out!!!! anyways#unfortunately small photogenic man may perish in captivity but that may afford better photo ops hmmmmm#i just need the knowledge base before i make any other judgements#you know what. let's put this in some tags actually; i was gonna formally rewrite this but may as well tag while I'm here#bugs#bugblr#insect identification#hoatm rants#I'm not overly concerned but ive seen a number of these inside now and this is the first one that's made its way to my room

TOTALLY unrelated aside, but the reason I never played the Sims before now is because I knew it would get its shiny little hooks into my brain. It hits WAY too many of my dopamine buttons to be healthy.
On the plus side, it's actually been helping me get over some mild writers' block I was running into? So that's nice. Nothing like effectively writing a visual crackfic to warm up the old brain wheel.
#i was just going to poke around and see what it was like#encountered a bug that made everyone get randomly angry#the only fix was a mod.#so. gave myself Unlimited Power.#or access to it anyway.#too much power.#i haven't even picked up any of the xpacs#or other mods.#this is JUST the base game.#i am in danger lmao#the house building and character creation are my kryptonite.#anyway Teddy and Harry have been an adventure on their own#please note i didn't do that on purpose#i just had them chat to get friendly#and then left them alone#ted called his mom up like I FOUND A RING and i'm like#THEY WERE ROOMMATES#i don't know if Remus and James are prepared to be in-laws.#but they did set a llama loose at work for shits and gigs.#so at least they're in character XD#i haven't tried to make sirius yet i don't think my heart can handle it#sims 4#hp
