Hab Das Mädchen, das allein nach Haus geht zuende geguckt. Ganz offensichtlich ist der Grund, aus dem Nina in den nächsten Folgen nicht mehr dabei ist, der, dass sie zusammen mit Julie in den Flieger gestiegen ist und die beiden zusammen ein neues Leben angefangen haben. Ganz eindeutig. Eine andere Erklärung gibts nicht.
#yes hello i'm not particularly emotionally affected by this but this is a very nice way to deny the ending#those two were gay as fuck and i just know they're living their best life in spain or something#kaj rambles#some negativity ahead tho so stop reading if you don't wanna see me bitch about this episode#unnecessary long tag in between just so you really do have the opportunity to stop reading if you don't want to see the negativity#actually hated most of this ep for reasons wholly unrelated to nina's death#pretty much everything between her and karow was just annoying#and sorry but the death scene was. so bad.#und ich wiederhole mich aber warum zum fick hat eigentlich im tatort nie jemand ne schutzweste an???#ja ich weiß nina hatte eine und hat sie julie gegeben. die eigentliche frage ist warum hatten sie keine für julie dabei???#ist ja nicht so als wäre yashas schießwut unerwartet gekommen.#anyway#tatort berlin#nina rubin#das mädchen das allein nach haus geht

GEMS MY FRIEND SAID WATCHING 'TOP GUN: MAVERICK' FOR THE FIRST TIME:
"The jacket! The famous jacket that pulls women, pulls men, pulls the world!"
"Oh look how hot~ he looks on that motorcicle. He's even pracing his ass!"
(Maverick, on screen: "Well... He's not here yet.") The mans madness has begun."
"MAVERICK DON'T DIE YOU STILL NEED TO HAVE YOUR GAY ROMANCE!"
"He lasted two months at Top Gun? HA. He probably was a bigger piece of work than the students."
"From what I can tell, Maverick tamed Iceman. In the first one he was the little annoying bitch and Maverick saw a challenge."
"I mean, at least these two (Penny and Mav) have chemistry. They hooked up in a plane, after all."
"Iceman solves his problems, Iceman keeps his job, what a simp. That's dog behavior."
"Maverick doesn't look likes he's flirting with her, he's just confused. His confused face looks like his flirting face, and people assume. I know this because people do it to me."
"Yeah, he's kinda like that one Olívia Rodrigo song that she gets confused when she sees her ex... What was it again?" ('bad Idea right?' by Olivia Rodrigo)
"I like him (Bob)! He's pathetic like me!"
"Oooohhh they're (Phoenix and Bob) gonna be besties! I can feel it."
(When Phoenix racks Rooster with the cue) "OHOHOHOOOO I LIKE HER ALREADY."
(Didn't notice Hangman taking Bob's cue, I relayed the information) "Aaaahhh don't steal Bob's cue. Bob's cool, Bob's nice."
(After rewinding the scene) "NO, NO, NO! WHO IS THAT? NOBODY CAN STEAL BOB'S CUE! I don't like him (Hangman)."
(Hangman, on screen: Bradshaw! As I live and breathe!) *Slowly turns towards me with dead eyes*
"That's not enemies to lovers, that's just enemies."
"With just this scene, I can tell this guy (Hangman) comes and goes. 'Sometimes I flirt with you, sometimes I hate you.' He's like a tsudere."
"Oh, got it. Phoenix is adopted into the man's group. She's a bro."
"I wouldn't say that they're his support system, but those two are the people that know him the best. Hangman is paying attention because he wants to be the best and needs to defeat Rooster. Phoenix is demonstrating a more sibling like worry."
"Hondo is like Mavericks babysitter."
"Oh. Oh, now Mav's flirting with her."
(Following the 'Baby on Board' comment) "Don't talk shit about Bob! I don't like Hangman."
"Maverick is like a step father to Rooster. Not in the 'HAHA I FUCKED YOUR MOM' kind of way, but in the way that he helped raise him."
"Where is Iceman? I'm here for the two of them, I don't give a fuck about Aeronautics."
"I think Ice and Maverick had a long relationship, but they're not together anymore. They maintained a friendship, but their lives probably went in different directions. I'd say they were together for 10, maybe 20 years."
('I ain't worried' by OneRepublic starts playing) "This song is from 2022? OH MY GOD THE SCENE"
"DON'T PLAY AROUND WITH GRANDPA!"
*Started chanting "BOB! BOB! BOB!" When he got picked up*
*Eeriely quiet during the bird strike, until Maverick starts talking to Rooster* "OH THEY'RE NOT DEAD. THEY COULDN'T HAVE KILLED BOB! IF THEY KILLED BOB I WOULD STOP AND NEVER WATCH TOP GUN EVER AGAIN!"
"Definitely 20 years. Ice is probably the only person Mav actually loved. Like, not a fling?" "Yeah, probably." "He's been with lots of women, and men, but Iceman is the only person he was ever in love with– maybe still is."
"I think his (Ice's) wife knows. That's probably why she recognizes Mav and is kind of friends with him." "That's probably why she just let him go up to see Ice." "YEAH GO AHEAD, FUCK MY HUSBAND!"
"It's pretty easy to notice that Snowman– No, ICEman."
"That is the face of a man who just lost the love of his life."
"Damn, the mans a beast. If It was me I'd already have cried, alone, in a room absolutely destroyed, never to come out again."
"He's got nobody, dude! I just want his step child to come back, because If he doesn't that man's gonna kill himself!"
"Why does it always have to have a romantic ending. Just leave him with his adoptive son. Go away."
"They (Penny and Mav) aren't going to end up together."
"I have a theory! Fanboy is obsessed with women! Cus he's 'Fanboy'." "But wouldn't he be called Simp, then?" "Ah, then he's obsessed with men." "... simp can be for men too."
"There's gonna be a Top Gun Three? Who's it gonna be about? It ain't gonna be Maverick, that man has a foot in the grave already."
"Bob is my favorite in the second movie. I have no favorites in the first one because everybody is very macho and very gay, and that's boring."

so like... ryuunosuke stowing away on the ship w kazuma was obviously an allegory for being gay right? like i regret not getting screenshots to drive my point home but everyone on this app is gay too so idt i need them. the way they talked abt their secret and how they could get in so much trouble and all that shit abt doing things together and just the two of them and like... okay? i know what you are 🧐
not to mention the idea of running away with your best friend to a new huge metropolis to presumably live together and "start your new life" (i think kazuma even says smth like that at one point but i forget) is just so queer in so many ways. "lets move to this big ass diverse city in a foreign country to live as we please free of judgement... but lets be secret lest we be persecuted and cast suspicion on our mutual friend who knew our secret and supported us anyway" ...aight.
"oh and to protect our secret ryuunosuke u must stay in the literal fucking closet dw abt it :)" THE WARDROBE. THEY NARNIAED HIS ASS. BRO WAS FORCEFULLY OUTED FROM THE LITERAL CLOSET IDC.
+ no way kazuma actually made ryuunosuke sleep in that closet. like so far that just doesn't match his character. i KNOW those bitches were snuggled up. i KNOW ryuunosuke only told susato that so she wouldn't be suspicious 💀
even my nine year old sister who's been watching me play thinks they're dating.
((obligatory "i have only just started playing the game so the first two cases r all i have to work with here."))

Hurting People's Favorite Character's Is Not Entertaining
The writers of 911 thought it would be entertaining to hurt both Buck and Tommy, with the excuse of 'Buck needs to fuck around and play the field and explore himself'. Which not only leaves Tommy alone and heartbroken, but regresses Buck's character back to the simple playboy manwhore that he was in season 1. So much for any growth he showed in the last few seasons.
The writers of The Magicians wanted to hurt Queliot fans by giving Eliot man pain over losing his best friend + deep emotional pain over losing the love of his life, which comes from losing the same person as Q was both Eliot's best friend, and the love of his life.
The writers of BTVS wanted to further Willow's plot by killing off Tara. Instead of having them go the route of showing love can conquer all, they turn Willow into a killer, and then have her best friend show up for her and pull the love conquer's all trope from there.
The writers of South of Nowhere were constantly using Ashley's bisexuality as a means to create drama between her and Spencer. Ashley's former relationship with Aiden is brought up numerous times, and the fact that they were going to have a baby together, but it ended in miscarriage, created a large crack in the Spashley relationship. Also doesn't help that Ashley had many other personal issues with noncaring parents, Spencer's mother hating her for "turning" her daughter gay, judgement from lesphobic assholes at school and in Spencer's own brother, Glen.
The writers for Queer as Folk thought they were being edgy or cool by making Brian an asshole and playboy through the entire show, but all it really did was piss off fans. Brian and Justin spend the whole show trying to be together, fighting Brian's emotional issues from having abusive homophobic parents, dealing with Justin's homophobic parents, Justin getting nearly killed, Brian dealing with the fact that he thinks he's only capable of fucking around and not finding love, and when he finally does at the end of the show, he pushes Justin away with the excuse of putting Justin and his career first. Tell me why Brian couldn't have moved to New York to be with Justin? Just saying. He could've opened another branch of Kinnetik there, and Justin still would've been able to grow his career, grow as a person, but also continue in the relationship with Brian, and be allowed to be happy.
The writers of the 100 killed off Lexa because the actress needed more time for her to be on FTWD, which is just stupid. They could've put in some kind of storyline where Lexa went missing, but instead they furthered the 'bury your gays' trope and pissed off all the Lexa and Clexa fans with that bullshit. Showing that once again, gays/lesbians/bisexuals, don't get to be happy.
The writers of Glee did a number on Blaine's character. He's bullied for being gay, harassed and nearly blinded for sticking up for his boyfriend. He's ignored by his boyfriend because of a job, written as a cheater because of his insecurities, made to date his former boyfriend's high school bully when he both knows how horrible being bullied is in the first place, and more than likely knows how horrible Dave made Kurt feel when Kurt was in high school.
Blaine doesn't have much of a support system. We barely ever see him with the Warblers, when he joins McKinley, those people are mainly on Kurt's side as they were his friends first, though Tina and Sam are later shown as closer to Blaine than Kurt. His brother is shown only once on the show, and his parents, too, which goes to show that they don't really support Blaine or are there for him. I mean, sure, he got his happy ending and he and Kurt get married, but Kurt is really all he has. So tell me, is Blaine really happy? His family isn't in much in his life, he has two best friends, but they're off living their lives most of the time, and Kurt is focused on his career, so Blaine's basically alone. Oh, and also, apparently Sebastian ends up alone. Which, another gay man ends up sad, miserable and alone? Color me shocked. /s
Why the hell would gay men/lesbians/bisexuals want to watch shows with characters like themselves when they just aren't written well? Why are these three kinds of people/characters doomed to not be allowed to be fully happy?
#BuckTommy#Tevan#Tillow#Queliot#Spashley#Britin#Clexa#Klaine#911#Buffy the Vampire Slayer#The Magicians#South of Nowhere#Queer as Folk#The 100#Glee

Summary:
Steve doesn’t get a word in before there’s another splash. Robin squeals. He tears his gaze from the demobats, which dip and dodge around each other in a strangely graceful, hypnotizing dance, and looks at the water again because how the fuck many are there? He was sure they’d all been killed. He didn’t think there were any left. This was supposed to be over. But it’s not another demobat. It’s not a demogorgon, or Vecna, or any of the other insane shit they’ve seen over the last few years. It’s not even a fish. It’s a person breaking the surface of the water, sputtering and gasping with dark hair plastered over pale skin, and when they reach up to clear their vision, silver rings glint in the waning sunlight. Or: Against all odds, Eddie is alive, complete with two new demobat pals. Which means Steve is forced to face some feelings he threw onto a mixtape and then ignored because those feelings were wrapped up in too much grief and it was easier to just erase Eddie Munson from the equation of Steve Harrington’s Big Bisexual Crisis.

Summary:
"Red touches black, poison lack. Red touches yellow, kill a fellow." A silly rhyme, to help remember the difference between a harmless kingsnake and a deadly coral snake. Wayne taught it to him when he was fourteen, and Calpurnia settled in the form of a scarlet kingsnake. Given the way people recoil when they see his daemon, he's pretty sure no one else in Hawkins has ever heard it before. Or maybe it doesn't matter - maybe Eddie is the one they think is toxic. **** Vecna is defeated, Max is saved, and Eddie's name has been cleared. All should be right in the world of Hawkins, and Eddie's only concern should be his inconvenient crush on Steve Harrington. But there are people who still think Eddie is guilty of murder, and they're not willing to let it go.

hihi!! you asked for my thoughts on stormbringer after i finished reading it, so i'm here to say what few coherent thoughts abt the book i currently have because oh my god that was life changing in the best possible way. genuinely considering buying a physical copy for myself now.
i love how much more fleshed out chuuya was as a character, and the dynamics between him, verlaine, adam, and shirase were all extremely compelling to me. like i didn't expect to come out of this liking shirase but AUGH the character development from him was not something i saw coming. AND ADAM'S DEVELOPMENT OHHH MY GOD. what if i exploded in the best possible way i ended up loving him a lot.
i also found some of the bits we saw from dazai to be extremely fascinating.... like when he tells verlaine that he'll mourn over his birth rather than his death. augh. and the skk dynamic in this book was so. they're both insane in the best possible way. ESH you two are perfect for one another etc.
funnily enough i came out of this book with verlaine being my favorite from it. something about him is so incredibly tragic in a way that always gets me specifically. like him just sitting and mourning rimbaud. oh my god. oh my god. also the amount of sympathy he showed towards chuuya's clone despite thinking he was a human is so. gah. i need to re-read stormbringer at some point this book is absolutely amazing
@heartless-curr (so i get the notif. sigh. when will tumblr let you send asks on a side blog </33)
haiiiii i hope you didnt mind me in your replies throughout the liveblogging, stormbringer is probably my second favorite arc, second only to the mersault/airport arc which goes crazy of course.
what i admire most about stormbringer is bringing in this cast of characters that perfectly exemplifies the theme it is very explicitly telling you it is diving into. it creates incredible tension because you know how this plays out from the beginning. chuuya will discover that he is human. the thing in question isnt that, its what that means to chuuya, and what it means to you.
so you have adam, a non-human with human traits. N, a human with inhuman traits. dazai, who questions whether those "inhuman" traits are inhuman at all, or if murder and torture are perfectly human, but also dazai, a human having a lifelong existential crisis of what that means. verlaine, a non-human who lived a human life for a time, and who rejects doing it ever again.
and chuuya. and stormbringer isn't necessarily about whether chuuya is human or not (its obvious that the conclusion will be that he is human), its about what that means. and where everyone else falls in that world.
are you born human, or do you become human through living passionately?
and the rest is history. dazai trusting chuuya, chuuya trusting dazai. suffering, and fighting back. vengeance and forgiveness. whatever the fuck rimbaud and verlaine had going on.
"disgrace, huh?" <- i think about this line dozens of times in a day. what do you mean by that dazai? what exactly are you feeling about this person who literally by the hand of a god completes your plans, whose hands you put your life in at every chance because he puts his in yours, and who helps you understand your own humanity through his struggle with his own? if chuuya's true form isn't a disgrace, what might it be?
im tired of gay people. adam frankenstein is incredible and i want him in the ADA right this minute. i love him so much. "i get to protect you. i couldn't ask for more." putting aside the skk of that sentence, thats love, isnt it? the most passionate thing you can do! adam's ability to follow his heart makes him, in my opinion, human.

Random headcanons that I'm writing down 'cause I got writer's block for the kink headcanons.
Thanks to @devilgirlnq for the help 💞.
Tora listens to Evanescence and has a MySpace account.
Kei is a tsundere, that's the tweet.
Ken uses 2in1 shampoo 😔.
Taka... For some reason I see him being lowkey a christian???
Fuyu acts all confident and shit with love when "advicing" Michi but if he has a crush he just goes 🧍🏻♂️ and will NEVER approach you.
Shin is actually not shy at all, we love flustered Shin, but I firmly believe he's just chill with everything.
Akkun is probably the best husband, ngl. He's stable, has a work/life balance...
Mikey has a special corner on his blanket/towel that he chews on.
Souya has to set ALL his stuffies on the bed when he goes to sleep 'cause if not he feels bad for them.
Hakkai and Nahoya sleep like in a starfish position, they sprawl all over the bed, blankets stuck to their limbs, just a mess.
Mikey and Senju drool in their sleep. (So do Shin, Michi...)
Taiju sleeps like a vampire or corpse or something, kinda creepy.
Ran wears a silk bonnet and eyemask to bed. (He's so babygirl)
Ran used to get up in the middle of the night and check if Rin was still breathing 😭.
In the last timeline, Emma got cute overalls to match the vibe when hanging out at Shin's shop, then used them when "helping" Ken (talking his ears off).
Taka and Kei are the ones that respect women the most tbh. Mikey and Ken are cool too, just... Kinda old school? Women need protection 'cause they're weaker and shit? But with good intentions.
Ken is the dad friend, Taka the mom friend, Mikey, Kei, Nahoya and Tora are the bastard children, Peh and Pah the pet chihuahuas.
Mikey didn't one day decide to let his hair grow, he just was too lazy to go get a haircut and it just ended up as we know it.
I can imagine that if shin had a daughter he would go see lil Izana at the orphanage to show him his niece while Kakucho looks in awe along with him.
Ran would definitely give his daughter those black sun glasses to wear... As a toddler.
Koko's son is a fashion icon.
Mikey can't have children, he is the baby.
Draken is so girl dad.
Koko's son knows how to strut.
The machoman dressed like a fairy having a tea party... That's mochi.
MUCHO TOO. Man will look so intimidating with makeup smeared all over his face by his daughter.
He walks down the street at a fair or smth with his two girls one on each hand, stern expression fairy wings and glittery makeup.
I see Taka not having children until he's older maybe.
He had enough kids already lmao.
Wait till marriage type of man (for kids, not sex lmao.)
The *gets closer* "can I kiss you?" Is Taka in the beginning of the relationship.
Shion looks like the type to be so competitive when playing pretend kitchen with their child.
HE CORRECTS HER COOKING BUT IT'S A 3YO PLAYING WITH PLASTIC.
When in real life he can burn the dam kitchen.
Cooked dry pasta but didn't know you needed to boilt it.
Just put it in the pot.
You come back after being out for the day and find Shion asleep on the floor next to the couch, mouth open, with your kid sprawled on his chest, the house a mess, and fast food boxes around.
The state of the kitchen shows he tried
Almost all of them are girl dads.
Not because of being good with women or anything.
But because they all give gay vibes. (I'm joking... Mostly)
Hakkai ain't having kids.
He's a single, childless gay.
He's like fuck them kids, respectfully.
Hanma... Why do I see him having old parents or a grandpa.
His parents had him when they were in their 30s/40s.
Probably parents don't even live where he lives 'cause they don't give a shit or are dead.
Or both lmao.
He gives unsupervised vibes.
He probably got kicked out or snuck out and lived in the streets somewhere.
He's one of the many characters who doesn't get holydays or bds celebrated at home.
I see him living alone somewhere.
Maybe the streets, staying over places.
Or a house that used to belong to a relative.
Or abandoned place.
He slept on the bus stop benches.
But like, he has money for cigs.
He steals or pickpockets.
Maybe some deals, betting... Doesn't even cheat, he's just good and lucky.
Beats people up for money too.
And has senpaiis is the delinquent world.
That's how he got his bike.
I headcanon him and Tetta go hang out and eat sometimes with Tetta's excuse being having to strategize.
And Tetta always pays.
He just does it, before Shu can't even say or do anything.
Shu probably gets seconds yet Kisaki is so used to it he doesn't question it. Just scoffs at him but nevertheless still pays.
He scolds him for eating like a pig but then side eyes him worriedly if he eats less.
And goes like "It's rude to not even eat what I'm getting you".
Will NEVER say that he just worries about him lmao.
Mikey needs a photographer for something as a racer and before Koko recommends someone Tetta goes "I'll call Hanma." And leaves.

Hi Writ darling! I’d love to know your thoughts on 18 for Snarry or 19 for Drarry, or feel free to pick any other ask/ship you fancy 😌 thank you!!! - Liv
Hi Liv! Thank you so much for the ask. I am going to be contrary and take 18 for Drarry :D
Ship asks
What does a date night out look like for them? At first, it doesn't look like a date at all. If they both happen to be in the same bar, at the same time, on the same evening of the week, that's just coincidence. Even when Harry says "See you next week, Malfoy?" and Draco says "If I don't get a better offer, Potter" (and they both know he won't) that still isn't a date. It's just...conversation. If they spend the evening getting closer at their own table (oblivious to the songs, the men, the sweat and the restless beat of the music) that's just because it's difficult to hear one another speak.
On one of those nights, Draco mentions his favourite restaurant. A posh, French place with a name that sounds sexy as fuck when Draco murmurs it in Harry's ear. They go together the week after, with Harry looking far more delicious than the food and Draco speaking enough French to drive Harry to distraction.
The week after Harry chooses the location, a curry place on Brick Lane. Bring Your Own Booze. They drink too many lagers and end up kissing in the shadows of London's East End after the best curry Draco has had in his life. It's still not a date, obviously. They just need to establish who has better taste in restaurants.
Because it's a tie, they have to try other restaurants, naturally. The restaurant competition turns into a bar competition then a competition over the best films. One night, in bed, they argue over the best holiday destination. They take two weeks off, spending the first week in the French Riviera and the second in New York. Harry shows Draco where he lived for a year after the war and they take in the haze and mugginess of the city in the summer.
On holiday they argue over the appropriate amount of time to boil an egg. In a huff of irritation, Draco offers to cook Harry dinner when they return home. "I warrant you're an unmitigated disaster in the kitchen, Potter." Harry returns the favour the week after, "Not that I have anything to prove, Malfoy." The meals on Friday slip into breakfast on Saturday, Sunday roasts in Primrose Hill and sleepy kisses and hot buttered toast before work on Monday.
When Draco's favourite restaurant closes, Harry buys the stained glass window from the front door which they auction off at Sotheby's for a small fortune. When they move out of London, Draco Apparates one Friday night to get a takeaway curry from Brick Lane as a surprise for Harry. It's the anniversary of something, definitely, but neither of them really care what. "The anniversary of you being a pain in my arse," Harry says, before they tumble into bed and lose themselves in the night's shadows.
When they're older they go back to that gay bar and talk about how much it has changed. It's a coffee place now, surrounded by office blocks and busy people in busy suits. They talk about the sweat and the grime, the way their feet would stick to the floor by the bar. They talk about the music, the men, the hours they spent exchanging sweet rum-and-coke kisses and the kisses that weren't so sweet at all.
Their date nights were always complicated, until slowly they became the easiest thing in the world.

oh, so many ideas so little energy and time,,, so ummmmm authors feel free to take a spin if you find something u like <3!!!!
---
1.) inspired by Loving you is beautiful (darkfic) by @rippersz — wherein reader learns to enjoy Larissa's red flags rather than slowly wilt from the distinct skewed version of love :)
Excerpt:
You've been hurt by the world.
Pain is the only thing you remember, ever since you were young. Always remembered a yearning hunger deep inside your heart. Wishing to be loved, to be saved by someone.
But humans were monsters— it wasn't until you've found yourself on the gates of the so called Monsters' precious academy that you've found what seemed to be the shelter from the storm that is your life; found the answer to your prayers.
Found her.
Your savior, your goddess, your beloved.
You won't lie, trusting such a vision was a bit hard to bear, because to be so lucky was not in your nature. But oh, Larissa is so tender, is so sweet, is so caring, and is ever so patient— to stay by your side, equal parts loving and protecting you from harm. You feel a little silly now, asking all those questions then, about her kind; of how outcasts like her lived.
Isn't it such an irony, that it took you finding 'monsters', to find humanity?
Well. Well.
--and thats all ive got for it rn lol--
2.) ICE SKATER AU or wherein reader was a former ice skater but has since been retired, and is a part of their past they'd just occasionally brush off for stress relief. Can either be a new teacher for Nevermore or the new barista in town, who gets pestered to sign up by their former partner & still best friend (also a new hiree crushing majorly on one Coach Vlad :]) to a local skating contest. They didn't initially plan to, but after overhearing that a certain principal was interested in seeing the performances, well... local disaster gay brushes off the dust off their skates ;3
"You. Me. The lake, with your skates. NOW."
"Woah woah woah Y/N, hold on a moment. I thought we were going to the booth to cancel—" Elijah says, but I whap him with a rolled up newspaper.
"Well, that was BEFORE I learned SHE was looking forward to watching the event." I start. "And since we both know I am a small, disaster gay with 0 rizz and speaking skills, THIS is my chance to get her attention! It's brilliant! It's foolproof! She'll never see it coming!"
"Who'll never see it coming?" Coach Vlad pops up half dressed behind Eli, and I blink.
"Hold up, are you guys—"
"Yes." "N-Um." The two men look towards each other, before looking back at me. Eli mouths a yes.
"I cannot believe YOUR fucking luck!"

"Painkillers. I think I must have taken every pill short of the ones they use for birth control. I mean, like, I wouldn't know how to begin to get pregnant, but I could deal with modern technology coming up with a treatment to ease this one pain that won't let me rest in peace sometimes.
I may not be anybody's prize-winning puppy, but I'm all I've got and I like to take good care of the old girl. It took me a long time to understand the kid and get used to my evil ways, but I came around, I like being a butch. I like being with other butches with our nicknames and ball games- women with muscles and pretty faces. I don't believe in bisexuals and cannot for the life of me find a femme. I don't like men and I don't let them fuck me.
For me to live in this man's world, I need some kind of painkiller, something I can pull out at a moment's notice and put between me and the men on the street, because sometimes, I could really kill 'em. They're just the foulest beasts walking on two feet and they're always in packs, just like dogs. It wouldn't be so bad if the women that like them so much would keep them on leashes, curb them, and shoot the strays, but the dudes be all over the place pissing and dropping their turds every which way. And even faggots piss on trees.
So, like, between the men and the dogs, I need some way to keep the weight off my head. I live in New York City, and we dykes may be everywhere like the t-shirts and buttons say, but there aren't that many of us running around loose and free. And I get tired of watching my back and front, and having to look sideways because these men are so damn crazy.
It's not like there's a neighborhood or a space that's all our own where we could have gone to, hung out at, and worked through our growing pains as baby butches. I guess a lot of us learned our ways alone and in secret and we still come out with all the different styles of butches. I really dig on how I can always tell another butch, even if she's in straight drag.
I know for me, I used to read a lot of books. They had this soft-core pornography in the sixties that I gobbled up as a young girl, with titles like Strange Friends, Forbidden Love, The Twilight World, and The Lonely People. On the covers there'd be these women looking very unhappy, like they were yearning for something they'd never be able to have. I could tell just by the titles which books were meant to be about me, and after a while, I knew that if the last page had a man and a woman talking together, it wasn't a happy ending.
It was hard buying the happy endings. I was in my early teens going to the counter with all the shame and fear that the man I'd have to pay would know what I was reading about, and by that, know what it was- something bad, a subject for pornography. I'd sneak the books into the house and wouldn't even want to share them with my brother, who'd been my first and best friend, and is one man I'd kill for still. I'd feel worse about myself, because he and I had always shared our various and assorted treasures like dirty books, but not these: I'd read them by myself under the covers with a flashlight and hide them under my mattress until Friday, when my mother would change the sheets, and on that day, I'd hide my secret life in the closet.
I used to buy the idea that I was "sick." The "sick" theory gave me some whys and wherefores about the way I had to take to bed to learn about what straight boys and girls are able to go find out with each other in alleyways, backyard, parks, and the movies. I didn't know then that what I was reading was truly the perverted version. That pornography was written for straight men- including all the psycho-socio-anthropological scientific bullshit studies on gay women were written by Ph.D.s.
I look back now and see where those books and their ideas rotted my guts and crippled my moral structure. The real crouch and limp came from the drafting of my people - women-loving women- as the whipping girls so that straight society could feel high and holy.
Folks can see the most honorable and upright butch bopping the streets, minding her own business, and they can have a righteous fit over her. We don't have to do anything except be our natural selves and some of these people will think they have a perfect right to use us as toilet paper and then go home to plot us into their fantasies. Men always do this to women any which way: wiping all their mess on some woman who is by herself and they're in a bunch in front of their corner store. After they make their little comments and noises, they're all smiling and at ease and feeling good and cooled out with each other.
If you watch the woman, she looks embarrassed and angry. She feels stupid and she's usually trying to cover that up and pretend that none of it affects her. Now if she's the type of butch who won't calmly take the shit, the men will have to work harder to take it to another level if they want the satisfaction that comes from wiping a person away. They have to go and tell each other that she wants to be a man, or they can act as if they just can't understand "freaks" and how, "If she wants to be a man so bad, why doesn't she come out and fight like one?" Then that dude's brothers can go into their man act and have the pleasure of holding him back from suppposedly going after her ass. They'll be soothing themselves while trying to pull this one and be saying, "Hey, man. You got to be cool, because that is a woman and when she meets the right fella, she'll straighten up and fly right." And he says, "Yeah, man, I just got all beside myself. Bulldaggers and faggots, jim. Hey: you know they both use toilet paper for padding," and they laugh and slap five and their eyes are shining. Their whole beings lighten up. They've jerked off and are relieved.
Okay, that's them. They got to feeling whole and healthy, but the butch-type woman who said, "Fuck y'all. You can keep your shit and kiss my ass behind it," is mad as hell and fit to be tied. She doesn't have anybody on hand that she can make sense to. There's no dog she can kick or make a nigger out of to transfer her shit to, so she's got to carry the load and steam with those juices, sweating it out alone. She probably takes it home and finds it in the mirror in frowns and frustration.
So you can see why I talk about a painkiller. I would like to have a pill that I could share with everybody fair and square. We'd all pop it and come the next day, the streets would be cleared of men, the straight women would loosen up, and the butches would be at least with each other. That's what I would call medical attention for a serious disease that's getting epidemic. I think we should give the afflicted hope: let them know: homophobia can be cured."

you know what, no. I'm not putting this in the tags right now because we just lost Jaydick and I am not losing Brudick too. I am not letting y'all disrespect comic history just because ew Dick got adopted when he was an adult and they have an age gap.
I'm not qualified to talk about the history of gay adult adoption so instead here's some resources:
https://jgspl.org/same-sex-adult-adoption-a-result-of-marriage-inequality/ - https://web.archive.org/web/20240507221333/https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/11/how-marriage-inequality-prompts-gay-partners-to-adopt-one-another/281546/ - https://lawandinequality.org/2021/03/24/where-theres-not-a-will-theres-a-way-what-we-can-learn-from-same-sex-adult-adoption/ - https://web.archive.org/web/20240511124237/https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/19/magazine/the-lost-history-of-gay-adult-adoption.html - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_adult_adoption
tl;dr when people couldn't get married, guess what they'd do? whatever they could to make sure they were always in each other's lives. when you are not allowed to love who you love the way that you do, you make it work. because they can't stop us from loving each other.
(important to note that Dick got adopted in 2001. y'know what wasn't legal in New Jersey in 2001? Gay marriage. also important to know that that's about 60 years after Dick was intro-ed in the comics.)
I really need y'all to understand that Batman and Robin, Bruce and Dick, have been around since the 1940's. that is such a different world in terms of queer history. like I really need you to sit and think about that.
Dick was explicitly described as Bruce's best friend for many many many years. the most familial it got was "brothers" which- how often are two male characters described as "brotherly" to justify the close the relationship they have without actually admitting that they're clearly in love with each other?
Dick and Bruce used to share a bed, had multiple fake weddings (I believe, might have just been once but still,) were explicitly partners in everything, are basically soulmates (Bruce will always have a Dick that is a multiversal constant,) Dick is described as the most important person in Bruce's life- none of that has to be read as romantic, but saying it can't be romantic is devaluing how much they mean to each other.
for fuck's sake part of the reason the Comics Code Authority existed was because Batman and Robin were too gay. this is not a fucking joke.
"Batman comics were among those criticized when the comic book industry came under scrutiny with the publication of psychologist Fredric Wertham's book Seduction of the Innocent in 1954. Wertham's thesis was that children imitated crimes committed in comic books, and that these works corrupted the morals of the youth. Wertham criticized Batman comics for their supposed homosexual overtones and argued that Batman and Robin were portrayed as lovers. Wertham's criticisms raised a public outcry during the 1950s, eventually leading to the establishment of the Comics Code Authority, a code that is no longer in use by the comic book industry."
the issue was that they were both men. because that is always the fucking problem. they weren't concerned with whatever issues you have with Brudick, they just didn't want gay people in comics.
need I remind you of the other Comic Code Authority rules? from this same time, so 1950's-1960's.
"Crimes shall never be presented in such a way as to create sympathy for the criminal, to promote distrust of the forces of law and justice, or to inspire others with a desire to imitate criminals."
"Policemen, judges, government officials, and respected institutions shall never be presented in such a way as to create disrespect for established authority."
these aren't people actually concerned with what's in media for the "right reasons" this is the same "think of the children!" bit that we still hear.
there were literally comic book burnings because of the fearmongering around this shit.
frankly, I don't give a shit if you do or don't ship Brudick. I don't care how you view their relationship. but it is an important piece of queer history. I'm not joking. comics are seen as nerdy or whatever now, but there were generations where this was the standard media that kids, especially kids in lower income areas, grew up consuming.
put some respect on this ships fucking name.
you see it as a father/son relationship? fucking go for it, but don't use that to erase us like people have been trying to for decades.
look, I like Damijon. and I like that Jon is canonically bi. I think these characters are really important to each other and the idea of Super Sons is adorable. but the impact of these two ships are not comparable.
Jon being canonically bi ruffled some feathers, Bruce and Dick being in a perceived gay relationship changed the world of comics.

#brudick#dick grayson#bruce wayne#nightwing#batman#dc comics#not just tagging the ship this time#I need people to see this and read#you can think Brudick is weird in modern comics#hell you can think it's weird back then too#but that does not give you the right to wipe away our history because it doesn't fit your lens of what media “should be”#also thank you Opti from the Bottom Dick Server for providing the links about gay adult adoption#moon's ship talk

Always fun when the whole family gets together for a celebration and literally all of them are transphobic (even the ones who know that I'm trans) and make me realize yet again how fucking stupid transphobes are. Like the way their minds work is so weird. And the best part is: this conversation wasn't about me, they have no idea I'm trans. They were judging the fuck outta this trans man none of them had ever met, my aunt's friend's son. He's just living his best life, getting surgey and a husband, and they're spending brunch talking shit about him and feeling like they're good people for doing that.
My cousin was completely stuck on the fact that the trans man in question was gay. "She got surgery to be a man but now she's getting married to a man? I don't know why she didn't just stay a woman if she wanted to marry a man" Why would you think HIS marriage has anything to do with HIS gender? Those are two completely separate things.
My grandma was way too insistent on "letting nature be nature and not messing with it" for someone who's literally only alive because we messed with nature and replaced like half her bones with plastic or some shit and put tunnels in her arteries. Also her daughter had cancer but I guess her messing with nature by getting chemo therapy was fine?
"I don't believe any of those people can be happy after doing that do their body" again grandma, what the fuck are you talking about. How do you just completely ignore the fact that almost everyone who's trans and doesn't "do that" ends up severely depressed and suicidal? Also completely ignoring the fact that studies prove that they're much happier after getting surgery or at least things like binders.
Then grandma got told that modern medicine can make trans men a working Dick but that they're sterile and ofc she immediately went "see, nature knows what's it's doing, t doesn't work if you mess with it" as if no cis person ever has any issues with infertility.
My mom knows I'm trans and I thought she'd gotten over it but when she heard that this guy's mom died a few years ago she immediately said "I bet it's because of that, she died and that made her so sad that she thought she'd be happier as a man" ?? What??? What does that even?? What
Istg they were all so fucking condescending like they were the best people ever and trans people are all just pitiful crazy people. If a person offs themselves, transphobes liie my family will say it's because they were trans which obviously means they were mentally ill, not because they were treated like shit for being trans and having to sit there and listen as your entire family talks about how they don't think you're human.
Another great topic was that my pregnant sister in law (she's okay but married to an asshole) was talking about how she wants to parent their baby boy like not telling him to "man up" or not to cry or play with dolls because he's a boy and her husband was just rolling his eyes.
He and all the other men at the table laughed and said that they were raised traditionally male and turned out fine...which woud be a hilarious joke but they were serious. THEY DID NOT TURN OUT FINE. They get drunk every time they're sad and have extreme anger issues. Because apparently that's traditionally manly and talking about feelings isn't. None of them are happy but I guess enjoying their lives wouldn't be manly so they just don't. I really really hope that they divorce soon and he doesn't get custody.

the absolutely most chaotic modern steddy hands au i can imagine is established couple ed and izzy with recently out divorce attorney stede.
like, izzy and ed got married young. maybe because they were drunk in vegas. maybe for the spousal immunity since they are and always have been involved in some less than reputable dealings. but they aren't exactly a "real" married couple in their own minds even tho they live together and their lives are needlessly intermingled.
ed is going through his midlife crisis. he's unhappy, wants to find out that there's more to life. and izzy is done with his shit after the most recent flight of fancy. because i love irony, i think that he buys a boat and comes up with some flimsy justification for why he needs it for "business purposes."
and so izzy threatens divorce, like he has a million times. and ed doesn't buy it because izzy is all talk. but izzy is serious this time - or at least he wants ed to think he's serious - and so he goes and hires a lawyer. not some bus stop lawyer either, no. he wants the real deal and his name is on the joint account, dammit, so ed's money can pay for it too.
enter stede bonnet, divorce attorney at law.
stede is from one of those old legal families. his father was a lawyer and his grandfather was a lawyer and his great-grandfather was... well, you get it. and stede doesn't really want to be a lawyer, but he doesn't have much choice in the matter. his biggest rebellion is practicing family law instead of becoming in house counsel for an investment bank.
for forty-odd years he plays the part of the good son, well after his father is dead. marries the girl he is supposed to, has two kids, a nice house, a steady job. and sure, he's never really happy happy, but he's a divorce attorney! every day he sees marriages so much worse than his own that he figures what he and mary have must be the best a person could hope for.
until woops! actually, no! his marriage is just as bad as half his clients' and now he's going through this whole process himself and oh, yes, on top of it all, he just realized that he's gay!
so between chauffeuring the kids, reading about all the gay culture he's missed in the past four decades, and catching up on his other cases, he ends up meeting one izzy hands. sad case, stede hates to see the end of a long marriage, but it seems easy enough.
except things aren't easy at all because 1) izzy and ed don't actually want to get divorced and 2) stede is starting to fall for ed, izzy's enigmatic and charming husband.
ed is falling for stede, too. of course he is! stede is interesting and new - he comes from this old family tradition that ed's never seen before, but he's also creative and witty and fascinated by ed. and so ed takes it upon himself to help introduce stede to gay culture, preferably by a hands on demonstration.
izzy knows what's going on. of course he does. he's seen ed take interest in someone before, knows what it looks like. but what he doesn't like is that stede is starting to return his interest. stede is izzy's fucking lawyer. if anyone should get to fuck him, it should be izzy.
cue a series of rom-com style hijinks where ed and izzy are both trying to seduce stede, stede is trying to save izzy and ed's marriage, and all three of them think they know what the others want. for more angst and more comedy, you can throw in some actual ethical rules, like how lawyers aren't supposed to start fucking their clients. (there's also a lot of conflict of interest here but shhhhhhhh)
of course, this ends in a throuple. exactly how could go a few ways. maybe izzy walks in on ed and stede and stede is waiting to be fired, but izzy just loosens his tie and joins them in bed. maybe they make it all the way to the first court appearance and when the judge asks if they really want the divorce they're like, nah. he's shagging the lawyer but i guess i want to be fucking him too. maybe stede forces them all to go to lucius sponsored couples counseling and they get perma-banned when they start making out on the couch.
anyway, no matter how it happens, i think stede quits divorce work to become izzy and ed's criminal defense attorney and they all have a long and morally bankrupt good time together
#steddy hands#steddyhands#is it one word or two???#izzy hands#i just think it would be funny your honor#ofmd#our flag means death#trying out just posting ideas that i wont actually execute#bonus points if izzy and stede actually meet before izzy hires him#like stede fucks up his car or smth and izzy meets him at the side of the road and is a real dick about it#and then shows up at the office like 45 min later to hire stede#the revenge crew all works for the firm in this#in varying roles#like i think that jim would be the pi#oluwande is the paralegal#roach runs the cafe in the building#frenchie would be better at the front desk but buttons would be so much funnier#ed this whole time is just making stede's job harder but more fun#stede: i am representing your husband in the divorce and i need to go over some papers with you#ed: okay i will meet with you but only at 8pm at a queer bar

It also bears pointing out that all of this right-wing questioning, trying to destroy Labour by (shock!) making them commit to trans rights, is coming in the wake of this story on the 21st (link to the BBC because fuck The Times):
Like... if you don't understand that this is a thunderbolt aimed at the heart of Labour's campaign, then you don't understand British politics, or JKR's unholy influence on it. The whole point of this intervention from the Death Eater Queen was because Labour were not shitting on trans people enough for her liking. And the reason the right are hammering Labour on this is because they know they're "weak" on it—that they do consider trans rights as important.
tl;dr: Labour are pursuing what's being called a "Ming vase" strategy; they are trying to get across the line in an incredibly conservative country—with, specifically, an incredibly terfy public discourse. (Note, that's not an incredibly terfy public, as polling has repeatedly shown—but in elections, small numbers of votes can be incredibly important.)
I'll say that again: in an election, small numbers of votes can be incredibly important. And I'll also say this: I truly believe that the best thing we can all do for trans people in the UK, right now at this election, is to vote tactically against the Tories in whatever way that looks like.
This is where I'm coming from: I'm an old lady (lol). I remember Margaret Thatcher's pearl-clutching speech in the 80s about how children were "being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay". I was in school under Section 28, in a system where you could be beaten up for being queer but your teachers could not tell you it was okay to be gay. I, personally, saw one of my teachers panic when, as a bullied, depressed and neurodivergent-before-it-was-cool kid, I told her I was worried I might be a lesbian—because it was illegal for her to counsel me.
I recognise transphobic rhetoric as hateful, because I saw the same exact arguments and logical fallacies trotted out against lesbians and gays in the 80s and 90s. And so I recognise that Labour's messaging on this is profoundly different in nature to that of the Tories.
To be clear: Labour's cowardice on trans rights is profoundly disappointing. It is shameful. But Labour at least talk about trans people like they're people. The Tories talk about them as if they're the beast.
Labour are not going to give us what we want on trans rights, because that isn't where our national politics is—but they are at least legislating with the idea that trans people are human. Can you look at the Tories and sincerely say that? Can you look at Sunak laughing about Starmer "not knowing what a woman is" in front of the mother of murdered trans girl Brianna Ghey, and sincerely say that about them? Can you look at Kemi Badenoch sticking "male" and "female" signs on unisex toilets and say that about them?
As far as wider progressive issues go: I'm also a disabled woman, dependent on state benefits. I am terrified of another Tory government. They have no interest in people like me; they will continue to cut the support I need, including the NHS, to the bone. Their contempt for me and those like me makes me fear for my life.
Are Labour any better? Well, I'd be remiss not to point out that it was Labour who introduced the notorious WCA (Work Capability Assessment), back in the mid-00s. But at the end of the day, Labour depend on the votes of people like me. The Tories don't care if I live or die. In fact, their voter base would largely prefer that I die, if it means they can have another tax cut. I believe things will still be bad under Labour, but they won't be as bad.
I could get into other things, like Labour's manifesto offering the vote to 16/17 year olds while Sunak wants to take away their right to a driving licence or finance if they don't do mandatory national service. But that's really a side issue. Just another of the glaring, very real differences between the two parties.
A vote for Labour isn't a vote that Keir Starmer is perfect and everything he does is perfect forever and ever; it's a vote for whether you want him or Rishi "he doesn't know what a woman is! lol!" Sunak in number 10. We're not voting to change the world. We're only voting for how we want the world we have to be managed. God, voting should never be all of your activism—because we can't change the world at the ballot box; that's just not the system we have.
But we can stem the bleeding. We can slow the damage. We can make a choice to do that—to bring in a more centrist, thoughtful government (which yes, is better, compared to Sunak's cackling bats' nest of hateful culture warriors) that we can then pressure to be better. We can have five or ten years to silence the right wing, to drive the Overton window to the left, to change discourse in this country in a more human direction.
That's worth voting for. It's worth fighting for.
Whoever you vote for, please vote on July 4th—and vote well.
The Labour Party are going to introduce a new Section 28.
Seriously, ask yourself before you go into that voting booth on July 4th. What is the point of voting Labour if they are just going to enact Tory policy.
#cw transphobia#politics#uk politics#can we PLEASE drop 'they're both the same' rhetoric#if you think the tories and labour are the same even on trans rights then you aren't listening to any of them#also fuck jkr#please read this post as it's so so much more complicated than this headline#i will also point out that this post is from a scottish indy account#(hi from a welsh indy supporter btw)#and labour are the main electoral threat to the snp in scotland#*think* about who is telling you things and why they are telling them to you#also!#since it came up#welsh labour in wales have been consistently supportive of trans people

Help this still has me dying ur telling me kagiura looks like 913738 times hotter than he already is (he seriously had no business looking like THAT) from hirano's pov like that's literally the way he sees him and still he has yet to realize how gay he is are u fucking kidding me😭😭😭😭
like what the fuck is THIS???
I-💀
I have no other words just look at that, god he's so embarrassing and cuestionable and harusono really set him up when she decided to make him like this i'm never letting these things go, i'm gonna make sure he's getting made fun of to the end of times i'm sorry but just?$!$!'!!@!#!";*!"?'!:!'"?!!(
like really???? REALLY ur seeing him like that when he's motivated and doing his best (kind of what u previously described as something u want ur ideal marriage partner to be like, unironically TAKING KAGIURA HIMSELF AS UR EXAMPLE), u feel the urge to be as close to him as u can be and get to see more of that, u react like this, eyes all wide and sparkly, almost going speechless, when all of that is so clearly shown as the positive side of the effects of his feelings for u, when u get to witness the impact u have on him??? AND ur also getting similar effects bc what the fuck do u mean u "really want to study right now" to make sure it's possible for u two to stay together ("close and personal")??? u know u both basically boost eachother, and that's all u want, but ur unaware, u don't fully aknowledge it, u don't really have a conscious idea of what u want from a romantic relationship that goes beyond akwardly answering a random question just for the sake of it, u were vague with ur answer but u managed to bring the essence out.
But nothing regarding love is clear, the only thing u have clear is that u don't wanna be parted from kagiura and that u don't wanna hurt him, and i truly can envision all of this finally connecting at some point because it simply makes so much sense, what u want is there —ur just yet to know exactly what u want, and how it's already there; who u want it from, who makes u want it. THEM being together makes so much sense, and it's gonna be so easy then (after all the hard parts) because they just work. So powerfully, so beautifully: they work. And we see that, everyone around them probably does too, we feel that so intensely that it feels like a crime to not realize how much sense it makes for them to be with eachother.
That's why it inspires so much violence out of me when hirano is like this like i just need to hate crime him for putting me through this😭😭. It all has me feeling a lot (can u tell lol), but on the other hand i'm just so sure of them???? and i'm just waiting for them to meet me there??? Things just have to connect, and they will, because they are everything the other wants and it all just has to come together. And sometimes i just read their mess and while there's a big part of me reacting and screaming and
there's another that just absorbs the big picture, sighs like a very old and unconditionally patient person would(?, and just appreciates them for being the mess that they are, for bringing some drama into my life, living and learning and trying to figure things out even in ways that sometimes make me cringe and cause the dramatic part of me to want to rip my head off and put it in a blender. They're getting there and i trust them and love them as if they were my kids or something
And lastly, seriously WHAT is that face?? (no bc let me emphasize that, it has to be done) I'll tell u: that's the face of gay. Gay blush. Gay thougths. Everything gay. There's no denying the gay. Maybe he can try to deny it but the thing is he has no proof he's not gay meanwhile i have 17 chapters AND MORE to back me up, if he fights me on this i'll END him
ALSO, it does things to me seeing the way hirano looks and melts at kagi being all focused and motivated because KAGI'S NOT LOOKING AT HIM at those moments, he's just in the zone looking very hot and it hits hirano like a truck and he doesn't get to see hirano in that exact moment😭😭. oh my god this patern is certainly repeating a lot before there's a crash. Harusono's gonna have us on edge and i'm about to die bc i NEED kagiura to realize HIS POWER!!##!@?#!"!"! and exploit the fuck out of it, tho of course at first he's going to be a mess (they're both gonna be) but just imagine him starting to use that to his advantage, him knowing that he can do that to hirano and make him very flustered by showing him that he knows about it. Let me tell u, he's gonna be a menace and i'm looking forward to it
#gay gay gay#i chant into the mirror#and there he appears behind me#hirano taiga#hirano to kagiura#sasaki to miyano#kagihira#hirakagi#bl manga

Tag yourself "Ancient Rome main characters but it's just very violent personal attacks" - Augustus's principate edition:
Gaius Julius Caesar "Augustus"
if you're honestly thinking to tag yourself as him what the fuck is your problem, your self-esteem is sky rocketing, you shouldn't be on Tumblr, you should be on Tik Tok
you take the lead in group projects and do 90% of the work because you think you're the only one who can it right
everybody better treat you like royalty otherwise bold of them to presume you'd let bitches talk mad shit about you
frail health though, stay safe baby
favourite quote "I was born for politics. I have great hair, and I love lying"
calm down I'm sure you'll get that college admission letter, no need to be dramatic and start threatening you'll kill yourself if you don't get in
Marcus Antonius
burnout gifted kid
like honestly you had your whole life planned and then oopsie everything comes crashing down
aw, you want daddy's approval? Don't we all?
you're like an only child, or the eldest child. Then some bitches came along and you were forced to share.
If that's not a mummy sorry mummy sorry mummy sorry you ain't hitting that (or daddy ;))
you love giving pep talk, reminds you of the time people used to look up to you
Gaius Cilnius Maecenas
light academia, dark academia, chaotic academia, the point is: academia
your friends are the most interesting thing about you
you surrounded yourself with artists and creative types, such a shame you aren't one of them
you're that person who'd shout "THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND" when your friend does something incredibile, but nobody will ever do that for you
so how's life standing on the sidelines?
at least you're not bitter about it (or you're very good at hiding it, let's be honest)
supportive bestie
wasn't kidding about great taste in friends, your friendships are very elite and everybody wished they were in your inner circle, make 'em wish, darlin
Publius Vergilius Maro (Vergil)
COUNTRY ROOOOOOOOADS, TAKE ME HOOOOOOOOOME
cottagecore
as a society WE NEED to retreat to the country and go back to peak of human civilization: farming
you're cooler in theory than in practice
massive introvert
you just want a cottage and some books and maybe some plants and a pet and free time, is that too much to ask?
Yes, because that shit's a fever dream, you wouldn't last a day in a real farm, get your head out of your ass
Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace)
you think you're funny. You're the only one to think that.
self deprecative humour for the win
your superpower is infodumping. Sure, everybody does it once in a while- but they way you do it. Wow.
you're a tiny gay, a petite homosexual, if you will
wittiness is one of the many qualities you believe to possess
how are you handling those five mental breakdowns a day?
Guess what, clean air, drinking water and reading outside won't cure your identity crisis
Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid)
you listen to doja cat unironically. And no, I don't mean "I like her beat", I mean you listen to the lyrics of doja cat unironically.
you're a slut, but, if you're reading this, it mean you're on Tumblr, so probably you're more of a theoritical slut
gossip girl xoxo
when people come to ask you for dating advice you feel like an old french prostitute recalling the glorious days of your youth
you think you're incredibly more interesting than you actually are
like, face it, if you were that great people wouldn't leave you on read
God it's like two weeks in the country at you grandparents's house there's no need to start complaining to all your friends you're in "exile", the wi-fi isn't even that bad, you're just a drama queen
you once dreamed of living in London or New York or Paris, don't lie to me
I hope people are actually know what I'm referencing in this or some things might sound very weird or mean out of nowhere (they're instead mean for a reason)
#I don't think i know how this is supposed to work#I am writing personal attacks but they're all attacking me#maecenas may be a bit sad but that's because I've always felt like him#you surround yourself with beautiful creative people and then you realize that's the closest you'll ever be to art#I am cursed by loving art and being incapable of creating any#ovid#vergil#horace#augustus#mark anthony#rome#latin literature#literature#latin poetry#poetry#tag yourself#ancient rome#light academia#classics#dark academia#chaotic academia#btw I'm maecenas and mark anthony pretty obvious I know#Also I'm in love with Vergil did it show?
