My younger brother got the name I would have gotten had I been a boy.

(Brother after that got the name my mother was peer-pressured into giving him though she still made his middle name the one she wanted him to have).

Random fact: I'm the only one of my parents' kids who doesn't have a Y in my first or middle name. (Brothers both have Ys in their middle names, sister has one in both her middle and first names).

super curious today about how people feel toward the names they might have been given. apparently i used to ask my mom about my “boy name” several times a week and get really sad i couldn’t have both my given name and that name. being trans this is hilarious to me now so wondering

also curious how this intersects with being trans!! i feel like my fixation with it definitely had a lot to do with that, so idk add in tags? if you feel like being trans makes you more/less curious about it

It is my sincerest and unironic belief that we must invest in preserving "old technology." The more we move to a hegemonic, easily-surveilled way of living, the worse we will find this world to be.

Letters, public phones and transport, cash, and so much more are key to ensuring both freedom of movement and information, but also to combat the surveillance state. We need to preserve the ability to both access the world but also to be untraceable. I truly hope more people start to recognize this. It isn't about nostalgia for the past. It is about ensuring that we are actually afforded freedom, from the richest person to the person who lives on the sidewalk.

Why have we as a top L/bottom Light fandom decided that L has sexual experience??? Like we can all agree that Light is 1000% a virgin I feel like we got sufficient nudges from canon for that but literally nothing in the source material suggests that L has any more experience at all we all just Wanted him to lmao

I think that deep down Mobius couldn’t prune the two kids because he subconsciously knew— he felt like it would be like pruning his own children. He was a father and will always have that instinct, no matter how many times he was brainwashed.

OOH YEAH BABY ITS THE SURGERY EPISODE BABY!!! ME AND THE HOMIES NEED SOME NEW FACES FOR OUR NEW PLAN, AND WHO BETTER TO GET THE JOB DONE THAN THE TWO MOST EVIL PEOPLE WE'VE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING OUR LIVES VIOLATED BY? I MEAN IT WOULD BE FUNNY. IT WOULD BE FUNNY.

I love how Persephone was build up as secretly a super wrathful goddess (Ares literally calls her "the angriest Goddess in the whole pantheon" aside from Hera) and we get all these glimpses of a possible dark side - and in the end Persephone's "wrath" is just super underwhelming.

Her original Act of Wrath wasn't even actually one. She killed one guy in a daze, then spent the rest of the supposed AOW crying and stumbling around.

When she's the Dread Queen and going up against Kronos she's just super-chill the whole way through, not even a hint of anger there.

And after that the "wrathful" side of Persephone is mostly her having temper tantrums and/or bullying people from the working class who aren't able to fight back.

"Oooh, Persephone has so much anger in her" Where? Is the anger present? Is the anger in the room with us right now?

It is genuinely not surprising that Ashton has such a strong The Gods Are Going To Kill Us take on the situation, given what they specifically have seen and what they have to relate to. They're about two weeks out from 1.) getting done violence onto them by an angel and then 2.) being told they have a bit of a dead thing that the gods tried to kill inside them. Then they go and put a lot of effort into getting that dead scrap to wake up (with disastrous consequences illustrating how incredibly volatile its power is). Then they have their only religious friend blow up in front of them. Then they watch a movie trilogy where the only non-god main character is another earth genasi broken-walking-timebomb whose main purpose on the mission is to explode when the gods need him to. They don't see the Lawbearer weep for her son, they only see the Emissary, a child, crying because he's afraid to die. Then they go to Vasselheim, the city of the gods, and see the corpse of a Titan, the dead thing the gods killed, yanked out of the earth and puppeted by one wannabe god and now desecrated in death by the overconfident followers of all the others. They're making something beautiful out of it, they're living on it, and normally he'd be in favor of that but they don't even know its name. They're building new temples on the corpse of the old world, hollowing it out and starting fresh, and Ashton is a part of that old world. They cannot stop being connected to a power the gods seem to, at best, be willing to weaponize. That would make anyone paranoid; given their background it's impressive that he's not more combative, tbh.

All "we need to know less about each other" jokes aside, isn't it crazy that there are still people out there denying that these two are "more than friends"? Not trying to dunk on anyone, just amazed at the amount of hoops some people jump through in order to hold on to their beliefs. Truly noone doing it like them.

saints I’m thinking about your OCs again…pls I want to know about Theo’s tattoos 🥺

luckily i am literally never not thinking about him ever…. once again @wyorians come look at our beautiful autistic thot son

thank you for the interest 😭 i never keep the placement consistent, but the tattoos i generally include are:

knuckles are LOVE/SICK, bite mark on side of neck (matching with freddie), the batwings (i put these on barty (!!)) were originally a theo-ism, “the lovers” tarot card, some sort of medieval parrying dagger or sword (knight motif 🥴), assorted hearts, & his girlbestfriend’s initials

he is an artist ^_^ and he drew most of them himself. unpictured he definitely has, like, the eraserhead baby & body horror creatures & a weirdly pornographic junji ito-esque anime girl in a bikini impaling herself on a sword that everyone judges him for. and sensitive softboy leonard cohen lyrics. he contains multitudes.

the important thing to understand about theo is that he looks Like That but he is a JAMES POTTER VARIANT in his soul!!! just insanely quiet about it

Random atla trope I love—Katara and Zuko bonding over their shared ex, Jet. Bitching about him as a bonding activity

I hate Jimmy but I like him in the fact that we’re supposed to genuinely hate every fiber of his being. I think the story tricks us into thinking he’s a good person, or at the very least a morally grey character, and it’s like the story itself shows annoyance toward it while also giving us a sense of sympathy for falling to the same manipulation that Jimmy puts others through. But that is only if we actually realize the truth.

it shows annoyance towards us as the player/viewer but saves its special hatred for Jimmy. Not us, Jimmy. It’s annoyed that we show some kind of good will towards Jimmy before the silent reveal in the text that he assaulted Anya. It’s like the game acts like how an actual person would realistically react to this stuff: the player/viewer glosses or barely acknowledges the aspect of rape (as many have while playing the game) and the game shows fury towards you. But if you piece everything together about the assault, then it’s like the rose-tinted glasses fully come off and you see the horrible situation for what it actually was, for who Jimmy truly is

the game is like a test for its player/audience.

do we gloss over the horrific actions of Jimmy, the smaller details in the conversations between Anya and Curly, and the context clues of what Jimmy did to Anya; and thus allow the game to show its righteous fury towards our incompetence

or

Do we realize the truth of everything, of the actions of our protagonist; actions that we were led to ignoring by the main character himself before learning about what he’s done to everyone on the Tulpar; and thus allow the game to still show sympathy towards us while also rightfully being frustrated and maybe even hating us still

in other words: Do you eventually see the tiny, dead pixel in the vastness of it all; or are you so used to seeing the bigger picture that it never crosses your mind until it’s too late
