Sometimes I like to think Spamton only talks to himself when other people are around. The desire to be heard and seen even if it is based around ignored. He cis aware that they have to be aware of him to do this, ignoring him that is, so he is content to throw a pitch to ears that don’t catch a single glitched out syllable. However the aspect I like the focus on is that he is completely silent to himself

The idea Spamton doesn’t mumble to himself but rather is silent, forcing away thoughts and quiet. The idea he can’t stand having to hear his broken voice anymore than the next person despite wanting to be noticed. Covering of his mouth so a glitch doesn’t escape and disturb the solitude he created to forget he had it and that disregarding everything else in his always pathetic life he is fundamentally glitched, broken. It’s always assumed he would vocalize every thought, even when alone, tragic in its own right if you think about it. Yet, it’d be so much more off putting, depressing if he just waited, minimizing the time he had to hear himself as one of the few ways he can feign normalcy.

"They changed the character of Mitch McDeere and the ending of the story."

Yes, the ending was changed. Doesn't mean it is bad, the filmmaker just wanted to touch on different themes and that's okay.

Pffft, so many bird and nature documentary puns and jokes happen on the Diego Garcia base because N.E.S.T. is an actual nest now.

It doesn't help that Seekers do have vocializations and behaviors that are similar to Earth's birds of prey and can be heard for miles.

(Area 51 can eat their collective ass because they get front row seats at Seeker aerial agility and finesse as Will and Sarah often do paired or solo flights above and around the base. Helps stabilize their new bond, a necessity for their health, and a territoriality thing. They can appreciate it without needing to take evasive maneuvers. As well as spotting the pair on the beach, all "fluffed up" to overlap their plating in a blanket-like state to maximize sun coverage between them.)

It was an entire ordeal when meeting and transferring the Seeker!Lennoxes. Sarah literally hunkered upon the tallest structure that was capable of withstanding her weight to hiss at a bunker because she sensed "unknown signatures," aka Autobots in their alt-modes getting R&R.

And once Annabelle hits her milestones, she's a very chatter sparkling. Something between a tea kettle, old dial-up, and birdsong. Proper wings are still coming in, so the 'nubs' are lengthening with nodes sprouting. Something endearing to the Cybertronians because it's "Aww, look at the baby flight-frame!" But something more gross-cute/horror-adorable in humans because it looks like a dissected bat wing.

It doesn't help that Annabelle will get really, really good at scurry-hopping. The human personnel would have mandatory meetings and flyers on "safety precautions" and "cultural sensitivities" because she will attempt to cuddle into the return vehicles because it's warm and nibbles on stray equipment since she's feeling peckish or bored or likes the crunch of the bolt cutters or pipe wrench.

I'm at such a weird, weird place mentally. Like I'm just kinda floating around. And there's posts I wanna make about my feelings on specific things

Women for example

Rad-feminism seems very pro women, which is great, bc nothing else has ever been pro-women. Lib-feminism was anti-women without me knowing it during the years I was a libfem (again, didn't know I was a libfem, didn't even know there were different types of feminism)

And I was surrounded by only libfems. The most vocial obviously being Americans. And no matter how anti-American these American libfems are, they're still so insanely unaware how American they still talk and act, like the world revolves around them. Every single American friend I had on here had similar ways they wrote and spoke, just blissfully unaware that not everything that happens there happens elsewhere.

But anyway, yeah, I was very very VERY pro-women. To the point I felt like I was annoying. Esp when it came to violence against women. I was the only one in my corner being as anti violence against women as possible. Friends would "like" my posts, but a like doesn't always mean agreement. A like can just mean "I am a friend and I saw your post" or "hey I dont agree but I'm liking your post cause I want you to know I read it", etc.

I was rooting for women in every libfem way as well tho (tho I dont think these actually are pro-women), from being pro-stripper, to pro-porn star, pro-prostitution, pro-bdsmer, all these things. Always prioritising the women's choice and voice.

And then I... had an odd year. I moved away across the country for college. And I was in a dorm. And I honestly cant even explain how much I wasn't myself when I was there. I drank a lot, and I had an on and off again thing with what you would basically describe as an MRA. And had sort of a threesome with him and one of his female friends (and when I saw that he was an MRA, lets just say I was shocked he even HAD one female friend, a black liberal af feminist). Oh, and she loved being hurt during sex (not that I did it, he did).

Why the fuck did I partake in being with this guy? And anything he did? Honestly, I feel like I'd need to bring an essay into a therapist to explain it and I still dont think they'd understand.

Like, ok... how to even sort of explain. Gender posts and sexuality posts have been cringy for a long time now. With people making up a new type for each per day. From being cloudgender to acronymsexual. Its insane.

But......... I've never... ever related to someone's sexuality before. I dont relate to being straight, lesbian or bi. And I thought pansexual fit until but Ive heard 5 different definitions for it and then asexual but Ive heard about 50 definitions for that so I've never been able to explain it.

What I experienced during that odd year was an attraction to the freedom I was experiencing. The location I was living in. Not... the people I engaged in sexual acts with. I projected these things onto them. I projected my freedom onto human people, especially the guy, and became kind of addicted to being around him, despite knowing deep down I didn't like him as a person. I kept questioning why the fuck a feminist like me would go near someone who stood for everything I hated. He made me hate women. He made me jealous of other women.

And it took about 2 years before I started feeling normal again after this happened. To not look at women with this hatred. (and yet, still remained protective of women, but also extremely jealous and always wondering "oh I bet HE would be attracted to her" and "oh she's SO doing that for male validation")

So I recovered from that weird year, but... I never went back to myself before that year. Which is why not even radical feminism fits me. Women... annoy me too much. I literally cant keep defending them and boiling it down to internalised misogyny and heteronormativity still being so prevalent.

I was there when TikTok started. Two years before it blew up. And it was thanks to that male from that weird year. He showed me what he looked at and it was very VERY anti-women. At the time there was about 12 tiktok trends, yeah, ONLY 12. And most were about sexualising women or telling women to get back in the kitchen, or hurting women. And women and young girls were the ones predominantly taking part in them. Belle Delphine was rising on there, this woman who is so anti-women and perpetuates the worst misogyny and is causing women to hate themselves, but rad feminism will tell me "oh its not her fault tho!"

No......... no it is her fault. I absolutely cant stand her. And any woman like her. For women like her I truly dont believe in the idea that she's being socialised to act like that. She absolutely loves making fun of women and making men happy.

And unfortunately in this day and age, its so insanely common. Women are constantly defending and sticking up for men, during a time when their eyes should be waaaaaay more fucking open by now. So I just cant do it. I cant love women like I used to. I'm still as protective over women as I was, but liking them... is a different story.

I'm hoping I'm going through a phase. And I'll be different in 2 years. And regret this mindset and making a post like this. Maybe my judgement is clouded, and I need to start seeing other things, to bring me to a more radfem mindset. But I'm defo not a libfem, and I lean into radfeminism, but I defo cant be one, unless I combat this hurdle.

I dont like women that much, but I cant stand men. That's where I'm at.

A busness needs every money unit it can make. In FPTP as used in US and UK elections the parties only need more votes than the other person. if 99% of the people dont vote and the other 1% vote for three hitlers in a trench coat guess what? Thats a landlide win for trenchgoat hitlers! More to the point, there's no information on why you dont vote. Coudnt get time off/didnt care/want a more compelling option all look exactly the same at the polls and since what ever polity wins they can do so without you they have no reason to care. If anything its EASYER to win if less people vote. smaller differances in totals lead to bigger swings. The people who politicans fear? are the ones who DO vote, who voite every time, who vote straight ticket, who primary ther own party for not going hard enough. Look at the sucesses that the Tea-party and later MAGA GOP have had? They are a teeny vocial minority but they are courted because they are visable, they are actave, and they vote. (they are also usefull patsies for the intrests of the kind of people who own news outlets but thats another issue). The GOP used to be an actual party of governance, not one that could be ethicaly supported but they at least belived in a smooth transition of power. They might have stacked the decks but they were still at the table to play cards. Meanwhile on the other side people seem to think if they are moraly correct enough they will be granted the mandate of heaven as a reward for their adherance to correct thought. Beight moraly right is no subsitue for being electoraly victorious!

people think they shouldn't vote as a protest or whatever because they've been raised on boycotts. which do sometimes work.

boycotts deprive the target of money.

not voting does not deprive the government of money.

it does, however, deprive you of power.

it's not like a boycott.

Melissa: II (2023)

This is exactly what we at Omega want in black metal: a fucking bloody massacre. Nothing less than furious, maniacally-fast riffs murdering everything in its path and drumming that bludgeons victims beyond recognition. You’re also here for the obscenely-gory vocials from the one and only Jane Pain that’s worth all the piss, shit, mucus, blood, and vomit in the world. I’m so glad they represent Brooklyn and this atrocity exhibit is even allowed to exist there. I will make every effort to go see them if they’re on a bill with a must-see band on my list. Don’t work me.

Looking to grab both of their cassettes? Good luck. Both are sold out on their Bandcamp, and selling prices on the secondary market were sold for $100.00 and $40.00 for the II pink cassette.

[domreader-headcannon-scenarios]

Ok, purring/growling, wings/tails discussion (wings and tail stuff is in a part 2! I had so many thoughts!

PURRING AND GROWLING! ( GENERAL VOCIAL BEHAVIOR+BELLY RUBS)

PURRING

Purring obviously happens when a demon/angel are happy! But like cats, you can feel their chest/throat vibrate. Imagine it has the same healing prospects a pat purr has! It makes you comfortable and happy too! Your partner always purrs when you two cuddle, now you have something to look forward to every hug you get quick hugs in the halls!

They purr so much around you, you kind of get used to hearing it whenever you’re close, it doesn’t even occurs to you the meaning behind them, you only find out in history class

And you find out that purring is only done with trusted/loved ones, it’s a way to express love. It’s a subconscious instinct, it’s more often used to bond with their mate, to let them know how much they love and trust their partner, you!

/NSFT

They will purr when they are cumming or when they are at the very edge, they can’t help it, it feels so good! They are self conscious of it, trying to muffle it but then it is so obvious

They tend to be gentle, trying to keep you close to them, it’s like they really need your touch! They are light and try to be easy with you when purring, it often starts during aftercare!

GROWLING

Your demon/angel partner has natural instincts to protect you because they care for you. Whenever they don’t like someone, or they are uncomfortable with a situation/feel threatened/startled, they growl, it’s deep, you can feel it in the ground when they are really mad.

They often do it to keep you safe, it’s intimidating to be on the receiving end of it, since it’s usually the last warning you get before they act out on the feeling.

If someone grabs you? They snap, it’s a near roar, it’s clearly made to scare, it sounds so animalistic, like there’s no words, it’s a deep, guttural sound. They hold you close, shielding you with their body, they keep you close after that, snapping at anyone who gets too close to you

Then they have playful growls, for when you’re teasing them and they decide to play along. It’s so soft, quite, but it is a playful warning, if you ignore it, they tend to play wrestle you, you have no idea why they are like that but it’s cute

/NSFT

They also make a habit of growling during sex, it’s a warning that they are feeling feisty and want things to escalate, they are ho/rny and they want things to get going

The growls are after done when something feels really good, it’s not intentional, but they growl when sensitive ares are teased suddenly, it’s sort of a protective instinct

Edge them and you’ll hear it, it’s a warning saying that they are frustrated with being teased, though keep it up and it’ll turn to whimpers

Ruined orgasms too, they will growl much louder when you ruin their orgasms, they glare at you and growl

It’s a response to pain as well, so the first time you used a flogger, he was growling and hissing when you hit the same spot over and over again

WHIMPERING/WHINING

It’s a submissive response, it’s usally done to sound pathetic and then asking for mercy, like if they broke something really important and they see how upset you are, they tend to whimper, feeling bad about it

They whimper when they know they are in trouble, they are trying to get sympathy and lesson their punishment

They also do it in a response to being scared or startled, it’s a a instinct to help deescalate a situation they are worried may go wrong

/NSFT

They tend to do it when they disobey, they know they are in trouble and they hope the cutesy/pathetic ness of it will make you go easy on them

They whimper during punishments, especially when they know you’re going to torture thrum, tease them and they will be a whimpering mess before you know it!

Happens when they are overstimulated, it gets more higher pitched the longer you continue, they may even start crying

HISSING

It’s done when startled, usally in situations where they think something is mildly dangerous and there’s no imminent danger

It’s just to warn that they are uncomfortable with a situation, and if provoked, will attack in self defense

/NSFT

Use a flogger on a sensitive spot and they will hiss, it’s much quieter than a growl, they’ll often do it if you have them gagged

Take your nails down their backs and they’ll hiss, the sting borderline between pain and pleasure

Showing their stomach

Once again a thing they do to establish trust, it’s a vulnerable area they don’t want people they don’t trust to be near

It shows vulnerability and that they trust you not to hurt them, but they will jump if you touch them if they are stretched out

Give them belly rubs and they will jolt and look at you panicked for a moment, before calming down and letting you touch them

They love belly rubs! It’s weird but calming, just a simple gesture makes their day!

/NSFT

They love can’t help it, often while getting belly rubs they get excited, just, they can’t handle the closeness! It gets them so worked up!

They will try to hide their arousal, they are ashamed of the gesture getting them aroused, they don’t even notice it sometimes

Tourettes Reminder

Sometimes you can do everything right. You can sleep, stay calm, and take your medications properly for days and your Tourettes can still worsen. You can do everything right and your disability still gets worse.

Our disability is so varied between individuals. Some of us have moments when our tics are less frequent for extended periods of time like me or have tics that wax and wane. On the opposite hand you can have people who never stop moving, vocializing, etc. Sometimes there is not consistency and you have no idea what to expect from your body.

Be patient with yourself and the body you are piloting. Sometimes the circuitry is messy and fires more than normal.
