#theyll throw me under the bus

[richieshitlips]

who up smokin a cigarette (but not for the taste of it)

it's so funny how terfs will come up with ways to say "I'm not a terf! I don't call myself that! But I believe everything they say and agree with everything they do and also donate to specific funds that say trans people should die in a ditch that are run by terfs! But I'm sooooo not a terf!"

[mx-princey]

Legally they can't even change my roster without either my approval or seven days notice neither of which they did

[bonefall]

Am I the only one a little put off by Duskfur, one of the VERY vocal supporters of Frostpaw being kicked out for “misunderstanding” Splashtail’s advances, suddenly turning around and becoming a good guy? It irks me a little that someone involved very vocally in that scene putting down Frostpaw is likely getting a redemption. I’m sure they’ll say “oh it was all an act” but it certainly didn’t seem written that way.

Overall I agree, BUT I do have a bit of a different reason why

It's not really about the "redemption" of it all, I would be fine if Duskfur realized she'd made a MASSIVE mistake and turned around (especially if Frostpaw never forgave her for it. Like there was always this tension, from now on, that she knows Duskfur cannot be trusted) then that's ok. A couple of folks are dipping into "she doesn't deserve it" language and to that I solemnly shake my head and say that redemption shouldn't be about deserving; it should be about change.

SO with that out of the way, what I dislike most about this is that it's based on nothing. It feels like a bad characterization moment. Duskfur's actions don't feel like actual motivations, she believes what the plot needs her to.

This outspoken supporter of Splashtail hates him now? For some reason?

She was willing to throw Frostpaw under the bus, and now she is not?

Didn't want to believe that her daughter Curlfeather is a bad person, but then accepted Splashtail's ridiculous lie about Evil Sleeptalk Plans?

And now that Podlight is medcat, her OTHER child, now she's cool with believing he's a liar?

What changed her, what PROMPTED this shift in allegiance? It's sudden, and that makes it feel shallow and dissatisfying. Makes you feel like they're just going to do this for an unwanted "You've gotta forgive your shitty family always bc theyll be there for you eventually" kind of moral

It sure would have been nice if they like, had a notoriously impulsive character to get his POV into RiverClan so we could see the cats developing. Some kind of guy who makes hasty decisions entirely motivated by his emotions. A cat that had just developed a bond with Frostpaw and knows how badly she wants to know what's going on in there. Someone, who is not orange, who could have been suspected as a spy as Splashtail's descent into active villainy took effect, raising the stakes of the story

if only we'd had a character like that laying around :(

Why do i get a feeling that during casa theyll show the boys a clip or amelia grafting hard n MC partner will think thats its her n end up switching on her🙄

Oh.

Oh.

Here we go here’s the realest shit, here’s the truth right here ☝️☝️☝️

We already know they’re bringing back Movie night from the assets… we get a postcard every year from Casa… season 2 it was a video and god damn didn’t it cause drama.

You are so far beyond the realm of ABSOLUTELY CORRECT that it’s not even a joke. This is 100% what’s gonna happen.

Oh god I am LIVING for this!!!!!

And then, (bear with me) Amelia was flirting her ass off in Casa and was gonna switch because she thought her partner would cheat. So she hooks up with multiple people in casa. But then at the last second decided to stay loyal, and her partner did too, and he was loyal to her the whole time. So when our LI thinks it’s US that was disloyal in Casa, Amelia throws us under the bus.

I can just imagine the conversation.

“So you’re saying that wasn’t you in the video?”

“No! [LI] you have to believe me. I wouldn’t—“

“Prove it.”

“What? How!?”

“Amelia says it wasn’t her either, but it was clearly one of you. So either make her come clean, or we’re done.”

Some talk about the the current story, pretty spoilery so Ill put it under readmore but tldr is I really like it (it got kinda long so sorry in advance if you click on it). Also this is just how I absorbed the story so if theres stuff I interpreted wrong dont yell at me.

So I think the first thing that has to be noted is that the sinners are the absolute epitome of losers. You've got a mishmash of people that couldnt be more different from eachother stuck in a bus together and forced to fight for the Limbus Company to ultimately reach their own goals (whatever those might be).

They all suck together, the only reason most of them arent repeatedly trying/succeeding to kill eachother is because your grumpy ass chaperone is actually a color, and will not hesitate to bring them as close to the brink of death in the most painful way possible for making the job harder for no reason. Hell we almost see this with Don, who I love very much, who manages not to cause serious problems once but three whole times and her getting beat to the ground was a the idea of a warning.

Its made even worse by the fact that Dante as a character also sucks as the manager up until the third chapter's end. Theyre indecisive, cowardly, and the few people who have anything resembling respect towards them as the manager only do so with either the bare minimum or for their own gain. They outright lose all trust from Ishmael the moment we become an accomplice to one of Don's screwups, accidental or not.

Not only do these guys suck as people, they suck as a team. These guys arent just dying to pros like the trio at the beginning, theyre dying to everything. We are constantly told about how the consequences of their actions lead them to getting butchered, and the only reason theyre not losing most of the fights is because they can fight like their lives dont matter. Why worry about trading mortal blows when the guy with a clock for a face can just writhe on the floor for a bit and put you back together after you win? The first floor of the casino is a chaotic nightmare where someone drops a chandelier for artistic purposes and another destroys a months work of wishes meant to be a contingency plan. Its a mess, and nothing states that they have any semblance of teamwork, its all just a mindless brawl where anything goes so long as Dante is alive in the end.

The thing is its great writing, its a beautiful in between from the previous games. Lobotomy Corp sits on side where nothing about your employees ultimately matters. They will die, you will lose, and the clock will rewind again. Library of Ruina is the exact opposite. You cant lose, to the librarians its nothing more than a simulation to crack, and the guests are ultimately doomed to lose after finally being countered by the right setups. Even if the ending didnt go as planned for Angela, she wouldve otherwise succeeded in getting that perfect book because their was no chance of actually losing.

Limbus is directly in the middle where dying appears to have no consequences, just forcing Dante to take indescribable suffering, but its also extremely dangerous. The team dying at key moments is bad, real bad. When Gregoir pulls his bloody ass towards us in the dungeon all the sinners are already dead or close to it. The consequences of throwing themselves at the enemy has now come back to bite them, and defeat is only avoided because Effie saves them. The final boss is a complete loss this time, were saved by some spooky wonder boy with a weird obsession with Sinclair and Dante is almost melted beyond saving and is only saved because Vergil was smart enough to send in a recovery team. The sinners are constantly losing because they refuse to be anything like a team and are too reliant on the idea that theyll come back. The only reason Limbus Company hasnt sent a proper, specialized team seems to be because they cant resonate with Dante's ability.

Its a beautiful way of showing just how brutal the world is outside of a corporation's protection or the power of the library itself. The color we were comfortable having on our side is now our shitty babysitter who could care less because we cant even wipe our own asses let alone secure the boughs without help from outside parties. All we do is cause unnecessary problems despite being handed plans and strategies that are designed to just work.

The end of chapter 3 is a wonderful sign though. Despite getting constantly ass kicked, despite the sinners treating them as nothing more than a fancy checkpoint with a clock for a face, Dante watched as Sinclair tried his best and MADE the decision to want to be a proper manager. Obviously the heartfelt little speech at the end isnt what saved the day, but the fact that Dante wants to make the Sinners into a proper team should lead to some really tasty storytelling in the future.

The later half of the story will likely be where the Sinners come to terms with all the stuff thats happened to them too so that should be really fun, and I really wanna see Dante get back into good terms with Ishmael cause really theyre just trying their best.

"no one can beat him up except for me" type shit tbh

theyll be on his side one second and then completely throw him under the bus the next but i would be lyinh if i said fan didnt do the same thing to them

[sheprzia]

Ive learned that you really gotta sit there and try to comfort yourself and learn to deal with things on your own- not because you aren't deserving of help or because someone shouldn't help you through hard times but because people suck.

Theyll pull this tough love bs not realizing what a complete and utter cunt they look like when you are clearly going through a lot and have probably explained that many times.

It would probably be fine, maybe even meaningful out of a stranger but coming from someone you love and trust? It just feels like an attack.

It is a breach of understanding. It shows that they don't know you, they don't understand you. They will not give you what you ask for because they think they know better than you.

Don't waste your time. Don't sit there and try to explain that their advice won't help your situation because xyz- otherwise they'll just get mad and tell you you're ungrateful.

Just comfort yourself. Be there for yourself. Be your own friend because you can't truly know anyone on this earth.

(more ⬇️ )

Come to grips with the fact that at the end of the day you may only be left with your self and that has to be enough.

I've hated myself since day one of my life but I had no reason to. It was because of the way I was treated. The way I was shamed and looked down upon. Gum on the buttom of their shoe.

I even got beat up on the bus as a kid. A girl came up out of nowhere while kids were throwing 🧀 in my hair and starting punching me in the face and just- beating the shit out of me.

I screamed for help but none came.

She beat my ass to my bus stop.

And what for? To this day I have no idea.

People have always been abusive towards me.

But that is no reason why I should look inwards when I know I have spent every waking moment trying to be kind and good because I believe that's the way people should be and I have been through TOO MUCH to consciously inflict pain on others.

I could talk for hours. I used to be quite the writer as a kid. And when my mom got mad I would write her letters soaked in tears- and when I stopped being able to cry because of the stress and truama I started dabbing it with spit.

She ripped up the letters. The apologies. All of it and I lost my ability to write my feelings on paper. I can't even keep a journal. I just feel dread when I try.

Though maybe that's for the best given how mentally ill I am. Don't need a paper trail...

I'm sure you get if you're still reading that I'm going through it. I've been jerked around too much. I spent my entire life doing my best while many times actively trying to 🛑 living.

If you're going through it too I want you to know no matter how small you think your problems are or how big, it's okay. You don't need to keep asking yourself if the way you feel is valid. You are.

You're not alone either. I've been through almost everything under the sun. If you ever need to reach out I'll reply. I promise I will. If it takes some time it's because my app and Internet is stupid but I will listen.

Anyways. Thanks for listening to me go on.

Therapy doesn't do shit for me but I feel sharing my story does some how.

[synchlora]

have to talk w my parents abt college oh no

[viibekiller]

‪my parents literally dont give a shit abt me idk why i keep wanting to win them over when thats never gonna happen‬

[axemetaphor]

im definitely not ripping off my friend by making a list of au ideas i have no siree //gonna slap this under a readmore cause i. well i say a lot. all of the time. i tried so hard to format this Good but tumblr fucked me up i am so sorry

so first-off i know i already have one WIP AU (Auckland) on ao3 so i wont talk about That one cause like. spoilers. i actualyl have it like 80% created so its likely gonna truly get finished for once and i dont wanna ruin shit

the other one ive posted about is something me and ben (catgirlrepublic) have worked on together its not at all close to done or anything but it's. a fun little crossover. Between jdate and my fuckinuhm. Original characters story “Untitled Villains Project”. the sketches of the comic version ive started is actually my pinned post 👉👈 its like the first chunk of the story, i think half of part 1? yea.

Tldr john fucking Somehow is able t oget into contact with a certain curious scientist from another reality who’d just love to study the Soy Sauce, most certainly not for her own nefarious purposes

John and Dave meet up with the scientist, her name is Boss, and her lab assistant, Toxic, and after a bit of a preliminary Vibe Check where john determines her trustworthy (which Dave doesnt agree with,) the two agree to be taken to the world UVP is set in. from there they stay in Boss’s lab (big old fucking abandoned military lab). John and Toxic are fast friends due to mutual love-of-chaos. John n Dave get to fuckin, camp out on an air mattress.

The day after they arrive, the two get split up, not exactly intentionally; big plot points of UVP are liek. Fueled by Boss sending Toxic to go fetch her “research materials,” which are usually important artifacts

Fuckin side note i guess i have to explain my dumb bullshit: Boss’s, uh, field of expertise so to speak is actually fckin, basically the scientific study of magic and superpowers n shit like that. This shit’s all real in that world. Toxic’s got fuckin superpowers, so do 4 other main characters, whatever. It’s got a bit to do with spirituality, iss Boss’s hypothesis. So she has Toxic fetch important artifacts that might have “energies” to them. The thing is actually way more fuckin complictated than that, this is just Boss’s initial hypothesis.

Motherfucking anyways. So Boss gives Toxic a job to do, and John get excited about how Cool that sounds, and ends up going with Toxic, leaving Boss and Dave alone. Neither is thrilled about this. But Dave and Boss get to have a bit of conversation (while Toxic and John are off bonding and having a good time) and come to a… mutual grudging understanding of some kind. They still dont like each other though lmao

Theres gonna be deeper shit going on but we havent sorted it out yet/tbh havent like Written For It in a while but i still like thinking about it a lot lol

Also pretty sure our endgame is john and dave steal toxic and bring them back with em lmao boss is kind of not nice and toxic would most certainly be better off in Undisclosed. Actually theyd fucking love it. Theyd become a local cryptid im sure. Undisclosed’s mothman is a teleporting spike baby.

I have. Another crossover AU that i might. Post something about for halloween? Maybe? If i have it finished?

Crosses over into, you guessed it, another one of my original-character projects. God, am i vain or something?

I promise this is just because i think blue and dave should get to team up to beat up some monsters

Quick briefing on my fuckinuh. Original character story, this one doesnt have a name (yet? Idk lol my work never actually goes anywhere sso who gives a shit). It centers around two grim reapers, Red (26, bi woman) and Blue (22, aroace agender asshole). In this reality or whatever, grim reapers function kind of like low-level office workers. They get told who’s going to die + when by some middle-management types, and upper management only involve themselves when punishment needs to be doled out. These Higher-Ups can be seen as analogous to Korrok; they’re decidedly not human, never were, and fucking terrifyingly powerful. Additionally, grim reapers are sort of .. designed to be “background noise” people. In reality theyre supernatural beings and, uh, look Real Fuckin Weird (the whole deal has a neon aesthetic im terrible at drawing uwu) but most humans just perceive them like extras in a movie. A body’s there but the camera’s not focused on it.

To the narrative: the shit starts when Red n Blue get relocated to Undisclosed. Relocation is something that just happens every now and then to reapers; they usually work in teams, but they get split up into different cities to avoid any strong bonds forming (a counter-union strategy from the Higher-Ups).

Red, Blue, John and Dave end up running into each other for the first time in a McDonalds where John n Dave are getting some 4am “hey, we just survived another horrific monster fight” celebration burgers. John and Dave are the only two people who can see how… strange Red and Blue are. Nobody else notices.

John unintentionally pisses Blue off, leading to Blue whacking him upside the head with a dildo bat. They all four get kicked out of McDonald’s. Dave and Red both are less than thrilled

Blue and John end up resolving their differences, somehow. Red and Dave briefly bond over their dumbass best friends being, well, dumbasses. They all part ways amicably.

somehow-or-other (idk yet) they end up running into each other a few more times, and eventually john invites them over to his place, and the four (plus Amy now!) get to know each other a little better

while there, Blue gets a text about some guy who's gonna die and John offers to drive them to where that's gonna go down. they take him up on the offer and get to have a bit of one-on-one conversation

after that ordeal though Blue has had Enough of people and bails, leaving John to head home alone

theres a sort of mirror-development going on with the five of em. Red, John, and Amy would all like everyone to get along, though theyre a bit tentative about it (John moreso than the other two, actually, jsut cause. well Red n Blue could still be Sauce Monsters). Dave and Blue on the other hand do Not like people enough for this shit, and Dave's not unconvinced theyre Sauce Monsters. he will not trust them until proven he should

the story's kinda nebulous but i got an idea for some Shit going down that involves both Sauce Monsters and also the Higher-Ups to have some fuckin absolute chaos go down.

Oops! All Trans

Everybody is transgender. Everyone

Ive actually workshopped this one both with ben (catgirlrepublic) and ghost (ghost-wannabe) lmao its a fun lil concept ive had from the get-go cause i mean. What’s an internet tran gonna do other than hit all their favourite media with the Everyone’s Trans beam

Dave transitioned post-high school and faked his death for it. People go missing in Undisclosed all the damned time, after all. He moved to the next city over, transitioned fully, then came back as a completely new man. Yes i know this doesnt exactly fit with the “everyone knows David from high school” thing alright, hush.

Anytime anyone brings up John’s old best friend (pre-transition Dave) John throws an entire fit like an overdramatic grieving widow. Full-on sobbing “why would you bring her up?! I miss her so much—” to the point that people just stop bringing up because Jesus Christ That Sure Is Uncomfortable KJHGFDS.

This is a scheme he and Dave came up with prior to Dave leaving, though Dave hadnt exactly anticipated John putting on this much of a performance about it— but it’s stopped Dave from ever having tto hear his deadname again, so hey.

Amy transitioned sometime in middle school/early high school. Her family was super supportive and loved her a ton and most people just know her as Amy. she was super shy her whole life really so. Yeah. people just dont think to bring it up lmao also i Feel Like big jim would absolutely wallop anyone who gave her trouble of any kind

John’s nonbinary (genderfluid specifically) and not exactly Interested in transitioning ? like hes fine with how he is. mostly.

he came out to Dave in high school but hes not out to anyone else exactly. Maybe his bandmates. Probably any other trans person in Undisclosed knows, too, cause theyre safe to tell lmao. Johns mostly a “he/him out of convenience” kinda nb who’s cool with any pronouns but does prefer they/them most. Dave and Amy use they/them when the trio are alone

Also this is a totally self-indulgent caveat that i think would be great, Dave’s actually agender but because he's transmasc and transitioned when he thought there were really only two options, and being Boy at least felt less weird than being Girl, he just kind of assumed he was a dude. It’s only through a lot of (like fucking years and years hes probably in his 30s/40s when he puts 2 and 2 together on this one) talks about gender with John that he realizes he actually feels like No Gender. Masc aesthetic with none gender.

I Just Think It’d Be Neat Is All Okay

Also Amy came out to Dave about being trans early on in them seeing each other and his response was to get very nervous before blurting out “me too” and then just being too embarrassed to talk about it for the rest of the day. Hes got a lot of hangups on talking about it actually it takes years for him to get comfortable in that

by contrast when Amy comes out to John about it his response is to yell “EYYY ME TOO” and give her a big ol hug lmao

I think itd be neatt if Amy ran a like. Transfem help/advice blog on tumblr. Kind of helped-with by John who can give her transfem nb insight for certain asks. I also just think that would be neat.

Cowboy AU - i put this one last cause its got drawings to it actually. Theyll be at the bottom

Basically just. Hey you ever watched a western. I think they look neat

This is another one me n ben have come up with lol

The soy sauce and all that shit still exist, im not sure where korrok fits in yet but ill figure it out

Theres no real like solid narrative yet ? but heres the barebones of everybody’s arcs.

John

Johns an absolute troublemaker, Of Course. Hes wanted in several towns for absolutely stupid shit. Hes a loner who shows up, causes chaos, gets drunk, does some drugs, runs away if people get too mad at him

He definitely had the same kind of deal with the soy sauce as in canon— he was at some kind of party, somebody offered it, he took it cause why the fuck wouldnt he, now he can see monsters and shit

Hes kind of a mooch also. Like. dont let him stay in your barn man he’ll never fucking leave and drink all your booze.

He runs into Dave when they happen to just, cross paths in the same town. the bullshit John stirs up ends up involving Dave in a way that makes it seem like it's his fault too, and they both get run out of town

after that he just tags along after Dave. hes decided this guy's Cool he wants to stick around. Dave is pissed at first, but not enough to shoot him or anything, and eventually, John grows on him

Dave

Dave also is a loner but unlike John hes simply so fucking awkward and bad with people. He doesnt feel like he belongs anywhere so he just travels

He’s the stereotypical Lone Ranger tbh. He wanders from town to town, solving their problems, though hed deny its out of any moral obligation (it kinda is, a little bit, tbh. He does like feeling useful). He shows up, fixes things, leaves. He's kind of a legend but most people think he's hiding something dark. other people jsut know him as that guy who farted real loud in the middle of the saloon and promptly skipped town out of sheer embarrassment. you know how it goes with Dave

He ends up involved with the Soy Sauce when a snake (not Actually a snake,) bites him. The snake’s more like the wig-monsters, really. Anyway, it injects him with the soy sauce, he fucking trips balls in the middle of the desert, he can see monsters now

He runs into John and shit goes tits-up, as said, but they become traveling buddies after that. he'd never say so, but he's glad for the company, actually. it's nice. hes not used to companionship but he feels a strange kind of easiness hanging out with John....

not sure how the Monster Dave concept will like fit in to this reality but like. trust me i want it in here. I'll Figure It Out.

Amy

Amy’s been living in a town John and Dave end up passing through and she is very curious about these two new Handsome Strangers who claim to fight monsters and just kinda. Persistently tags along til they let her join for real

Her family’s all dead, unfortunately, just like in canon, and she’s been living alone for a few years before meeting John n Dave. she had nothing left in that town to stay for, she'd been fantasizing about escaping on wild adventures for a long time and this felt a little like a dream come true. (Dave still gives her a spiel about how Difficult it is, but really, her fantasies were pretty grounded-in-reality already. i jsut think thats how she is, yknow?)

Shes the first person to react to the whole “we see monsters” shit with a kind of “oh, okay. neat” kind of response lmao

John and Dave fix whatever the fuck is up with her town (maybe that’s where the Korrok shit can fit, who knows) and Amy ends up being integral to that. After, she insists they take her with them because “they need her now” and Dave just cant really say no. John too is very much "the more the merrier!" and hes actually glad to have another person along he loves people lmao

At the start she has long hair but after she joins them she chops it short with a knife for convenience

also she still is an amputee. justt. idk. it was a wagon/stagecoach accident rather than a car accident lmao. just to clarify since i hadnt mentioned it, i wouldnt rob her of her ghost hand or yknow. all of the significance to her character that Missing A Hand has. although also now im going to have to research what was used as painkillers way-back-when, but im betting shes still got, like, her pain pills, they probably had those, maybe i wouldnt have to try too hard there. old timey medicine could be WACK though,

Shitload

Yeah hes in tthis shit mostly cause i liked designing his cowboy self lmao

Hes a kid (like 16, 17, technically i think in those days that was more Young Man than Kid but whatever. Hes Young i mean.) who got possessed by the Worms out in the desert and, by his family’s perception, just went missing!

Hes also a wanderer, but he ended up at the same town john and dave met in, at that same time, and starts following them after, already aware of who/what they are.

He keeps his face covered 24/7. actually he covers a Majority of his self for reasons. kinda want him to be a slightly more horrifying Worm Entity rather than human idk,

I kinda dont have much for this boy yet sorry Shitload

images !

with some editing notes for me cause im doing a very specific aesthetic with this lmao. i might change some lil details/colours though ...... idk

im also kinda 🤔 about shitload's colour palette. i want things assoicated w the sauce to be black'n'red predominantly but i think his palette might mirror dave's too closely. also im working on a korrok design i jsut am too busy to draw it now

[beeinabox]

OKAY OKAY MORE TRAITOR THOUGHTS BECAUSE THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE HEARD.

SOME DISCORD FRIENDS AND I WERE TALKING AND ONE OF THEM SEND THIS POST

https://tommyistheprotagofthesmp.tumblr.com/post/634532942415364096/you-know-who-else-would-be-proud-of-me-mr-soot

OKAY SO. APPARENTLY THE CONTEXT IS TJAT HE WAS BURNING DOWN TREES???

SO. FUNDY OBVIOUSLY WANTS APPROVAL FROM WILBUR (HIS FATHER). SO. CONSIDER THIS. WHAT IF FUNDY WAS THE TRAITOR, BUT NOT IN THE WAY WE THINK HE IS. HES NOT A TRAITOR BECAUSE HES WORKING WITH SCHLATT, HES A TRAITOR BECAUSE HES WORKING WITH WILBUR. WILBUR WANTS TO BLOW UP MANBERG, WE KNOW THIS. BUT SO FAR NOBODY HAS BEEN PRO BLOW UP MANBERG. BUT IF WILBUR FINDS OUT HIS SON IS WITH HIM, THEYLL WREAK HAVOC. WE KNKW WILBUR MANIPULATES PEOPLE, AND FUNDY IS TOO EASILY SWAYED (i mean come on he was so quick to break the walls and burn the flags) THEY COULD EASILY THROW TOMMY AND TUBBO UNDER THE BUS TO FUCK THEM OVER AND GET WHAT THEY WANT. DREAM SAID THERE WAS A TRAITOR, NOT WHICH SIDE THEYRE WORKING FOR.

anyway little bit of traitor thots for the soul

[elftwink]

do/nt r/b

truly frustrating sometimes being the first kid in the family to come out because it means i was the only one to really get the brunt of the initial transphobia/homophobia as my parents came around and i would NOT wish that on my sisters but it truly feels like they don’t realize. thats why i’m like this

like theyll be like oh you never talk to us about dating and im like yeah dude because talking about dating to anyone in my family makes me feel like im being held at gunpoint. one time my sister AT FAMILY DINNER was like “you got a gf” and i was like no. and she was like “a bf then?” and i almost SCREAMED like why are you throwing me under the fucking bus like this? but she didnt even bat an eye. its like im the only one in the room that can feel the weird tension every time lgbt+ people come up like i go into defense mode and nobody else does.

and like im happy for them. that they can talk that openly. i would never wish this feeling on anyone. but it’s just so deeply alienating and it makes me bitter that whenever its brought up it’s always in the context of like “oh lukas never tells us anything about his dating life haha”. and i knowwwww if i brought up why they’d all be like “oh its fine now we’ve all grown” yeah at my expense! because of me and what i went through! thats why they’re so cool with it now!

and ive made my peace with that. i dont hold a grudge, i think they did their best, ive accepted that i just wont get those conversations with my family and ive made the decision to not even try until i am moved out and totally independent of them. and i feel like to my sisters this reads as me being distant or that i do it because i don’t like them or something and im like i love you both but i wish you guys even attempted to appreciate what it was like for me to come out as trans. even considered the fact that it was scary and difficult and that the process of acceptance was really slow. and that as a result it’s still scary even though the danger has been removed. im just like this now. i would appreciate a little grace about it

[s4ijoh]

Okay, so hear me out for a min..Seijoh team game night they’re playing Among Us but any time Iwa and Oikawa are imposters Iwa hits the button and throws both of them under the bus because a) he would rather play crew mate anyway and b) hearing Oikawa screech over the mic never fails to get old

oikawa is such a bad impostor. like theyll know its him straight away because he always acts hella sus. iwas like: might as well just end the game before it even begins ☠️ sometimes oikawas not even the impostor and theyll vote him out just because theyre meanies 💆🏼‍♀️ ++ if either makki/iwa/iwaizumi are the impostor and one of them happens to witness the impostor kill oikawa in front of them they’re not snitching on him 😭😭. THEY WONT EVEN REPORT OIKAWAS BODY

[turnways]

TERFs 1000% hate all trans people what the fuck are you talking about??

Dntrb

1. Gonna answer this best i can but disclaimer im tme and this is just my understanding. If any transfems wanna take over addressing this feel free.

Tw for transphobia and transmisogyny

So, like, most twerfs (which i always felt was the more accurate term since many people hide behind being technically trans friendly to excuse transmisogyny and also there are people just against trans ppl in feminism overall.ill use both terms interchangeably here) are also just general transphobes and are extremely shitty towards all trans people, even if they themselves are trans. I myself have even been harassed by terfs as a tme person! Nobody, or at least me, is saying terfs never go after tme trans people. Of course they do! Theyll go after anyone who they think is threatening womanhood as being a super pure and biological thing /s

It’s important to talk about how their ideology is rooted in and seeps into other bigoted reactionary talking points like racism, ableism, general transphobia, and just being a general shitty person.

Buuuut thats not what makes them twerfs as group. Terfs organize around their hatred around transfem people. Theyll also sometimes be friendly (in a backwards non accepting way) to tme trans people and cis men or be trans themselves with the common goal of throwing trans fem ppl under the bus. Again this doesnt mean that being tme is some magic shield against any hatred they perpetuate it just means thats not the source of their hatred.

If you want an example its really common for them to automatically assume that if a trans person is defending trans women that they must be one themself. Or how they thought that changing the designs of period products was the fault of trans women. Like its still transphobic to deny that trans men exist but they used that erasure to bolster their hatred for trans fems.

To go further they just dont see trans women as people. They’re often willing to argue with and debate tme trans people and cis men even if they’re being vindictive and horrible but they dont ever even give trans women a chance to defend themselves.

I like analogies so, like, there are lots of shitty racists where i live, nazis are definitively also shitty racists. This doesnt mean that every general racist jackass i come across is a nazi nor does it mean that being a nazi is about being a run of the mill racist.

Theyre both horrible people! But how they utilize and talk about their hatred are different.

Obviously the line isnt always clear if youre trying to decipher what an individuals ideology is and someones who fives a shit if you call someone thats hateful but not necessarily in an organized way the title of a hate group member

Anyways, it’s the difference between a hateful person and a hate group

I’m lowkey worried that if radblr really is getting an influx of new users since the latest installment of JKR drama, we’re going to have a lot of ex-terfs in 3 months going “the terfs gaslit me into letting my public hair grow. The lesbians were all incels who wanted me to dump my boyfriend so they could have me for themselves. They keep talking abt menstrual blood”. I have a sad feeling when they realize this isn’t just “shit talk TRAs club” theyll throw us all under the bus as their penance
