#we’re fucking people

[sen-thebootmutt]

I need cis lesbians on my dash to calm the fuck down about trans women. Y’all are either transmisogynist (consciously of subconsciously), or you’re fetishizing us.

Guess what? In spite of what porn and Tumblr blogs make you think, the majority of trans women are bottoms. After long enough on estrogen, transfem penises atrophy, and stop getting hard, or staying hard. After long enough on estrogen, you’re not going to get a trans woman to paint your face with thick anything, because we stop producing semen at that quantity, if at all. And still, every post on my dash about trans women, it seems, talks about trans women as if we’re just cock dispensers for y’all. I’m fucking begging y’all, read Mira Belwether’s Fucking Trans Women, and learn how our fucking bodies work. Better yet, TALK TO TRANS WOMEN. Talk to us!! Ask us how we like to please and be pleasured. Don’t walk into the bedroom with us assuming we’re going to be what you read in your erotica posts.

one fun thing about being a trans woman is that if you ever try to talk about how something or someone has mistreated you or other trans women it literally doesn’t matter At All how much of a preamble you give or how much you try to clarify that you don’t hate transmascs or that white trans women are plenty capable of being racist, people will just blow past it all anyway to warp your plea for people to give a shit about and grow past their transmisogyny as a thinly veiled attack against whichever identity category of theirs makes you sound the worst

ser Criston Cole cleverly setting a bullying children trap to incriminate Harwin Strong as rhaenyra’s sidepiece by allowing harwin to beat the brakes off him in defense of his sons was a scheme of such refinement and child hating you’d think it would be lannisterism but no its actually a feastriot of a different coat

gay trans men: isn’t it fucked up that so many cis gay men proudly talk about how disgusting they think our bodies are, get violent when they realize they were attracted to one of us, push us out of community spaces because they don’t think we belong there, invalidate the orientation of the cis gay men who enter into relationships with us, accuse us of raping the cis gay men we’ve had sex with, aggressively misgender us and make assumptions about our bodies, act like their personal lack of desire to be with us means we must be fundamentally unattractive and morally reprehensible, and generally treat our existence like a personal attack worthy of a violent response when all we’re trying to do is exist?

those cis gay men & their friends: oh my god, you’re literally trying to force your disgusting female pussy onto gay men! this is conversion therapy! you’re a predator and a rapist and you deserve to die!

gay trans men: …we literally do not care if you have sex with us. nobody said anything about that. a lot of us are t4t, asexual, and/or already in a relationship, and the rest of also don’t want to have sex with you that badly because we would much rather be fucking someone who actually likes us; this has never been about who we personally want to sleep with. we’d just really appreciate it if you could treat us like human beings and not actively try to make the gay community hostile toward our existence. you don’t have to be attracted to us, just don’t be awful to us? and maybe, once you have that part down, ask yourself why you were so quick to assume a subset of queer people are all violent predators?

those people: HOMOPHOBES! EVIL GROSS FETISHIZING RAPIST HOMOPHOBES!

ghost has a flat he rarely goes to

it's covered in a thick layer of dust from disuse. none of the cupboards or closets have doors, not when they're so easy to hide behind. the windows are covered in thick black paint that no light can penetrate

but worst? worst is the glass

mirrors, cups, bowels, every single reflective surface is shattered; the glass left lying where it fell

he never cleans it; just steps around the crystalline piles, the shards too fine to hold a reflection

there's little need to guess how they were broken, not when there's a fist-sized hole in the mirror backing in the bathroom. not when fine scars riddle his knuckles, torn from ripping out glass splinters with shaking hands

ghost has a flat he rarely goes to

there's no doors, no light, no glass

because everywhere he turns, simon riley's waiting to stare back at him and ask if he's finished burying him yet

imagine being around milo and sweetheart for the first time, feeling awkward and nervous because it seems like they’re arguing, you blink and then they’re making out

no because what do you MEAN kid tommy is extremely powerful but is okay with flying under the radar and having all the focus be on billy - does the main/grown up tommy have these powers?? does he know what he can do, or is he just clueless??? based off of the last infinity comic I’m gonna go no, he doesn’t know, but will something happen to awaken these powers soon??? guys I need answers -

i’ve been scratching my head over the whole watcher situation. I’m not a fan myself but got dragged into it cus of the people I follow, i only watched their puppet history series and the buzzfeed unsolved series from way back- honestly, i couldn’t care less if they locked all their stuff behind a paywall. I’m so neutral on this whole thing, i might as well be swiss.

but i’m not neutral? In fact, the whole thing really bothers me and i couldn’t figure out why.

cus i get it, yanno. As a company that thrives on creativity, i understand you’d wanna cut yourself off the mega-capatalist-giant that is youtube to get rid of annoying restrictions, and asking monetary support from your audience so you can really stretch the limit of your creativity. I GET IT.

And it STILL bothers me!

And then I figured it out:

the whole “any future videos they’ll be making will EXCLUSIVELY be available through a streaming service you have to pay a monthly subscription for” comes less across as “please support us monetarily so we can grow as creators”, and comes more across as “if you want to continue being a fan, or even being a part of the audience, you’re gonna have to pay up. You have no choice in the matter. It’s either pay, or you’re not a ‘real’ fan or a ‘real’ part of our audience.”

THAT’S what’s bothering me about it. It feels like they’re gatekeeping who gets to be part of their community with money (that not everyone might have). And knowing where they come from and how they started…. That’s… extremely tone deaf. To put it gently.

not me excitedly calling my mother the second I knew she was off work so I could tell her about the fuck machine I’m getting sent to me from that brand and her immediately being like ‘wtf I didn’t even know those were a thing but that’s so cool!!! I’m so happy for you!!!’ LMAOOO 😂🥹

✨ we love a mother who unabashedly supports her SWer daughter and all her whore-ish goals ✨

seeing ppl on twitter’s takes about snowgrave kriselle makes me want to kill myself oh my godddd “its toxic” “regular kriselle better bc its healthier” DO YOU THINK I WANT TO SEE THEM MUSHY KISS AND BE LOVEY DOVEY AND HUG EACH OTHER??? NO!!! the APPEAL is that adding romantic connotations to their snowgrave relationship (which mind you very much already exists in canon) allow their relationship to become so much more interesting. do i think they’ll become truly endgame canon? do i think they’re in love with each other??? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! AND I DONT WANT THEM TO!!! the POINT is that it’s supposed to be dark and interesting and exploratory of their characters in relation to the deconstruction of autonomy in video games through gender roles and principles of knighthood and the idea of the “damsel in distress”. not to mention that “shipping” regular kriselle and snowgrave kriselle isnt mutually exclusive either. in fact i think understanding both allows you to analyse their relationship much more fully and deeply than without considering the other side. and besides, isnt the fucking point of shipping to explore character relationships??? why would you want to Ignore nuance and depth rather than focus on it???? are you unable to handle anything deeper or darker than like fucking cocomelon??? if you hate character analysis and dark themes in relationships you can head on back there or smth idfk oh my lord i cant fucking TAKE IT ANYMORE

soap's whole deal being sniper and demolitions gets me going bc on the surface they sound so different but when you get into it, you realise it's bc soap's smart

sniping is all math; calculating distances and wind interference and bullet drop. something i think people overlook is he was listed as a sniper first so it can be implied that he's better at it than demolitions. he does more sniping in both campaigns than demolitions work; in capture or kill, ghost specifically calls on him to take down the aq snipers

and demolitions is math with a hit of chemistry; knowing what mixes with what, knowing how much to use, recognising environmental factors and adjusting accordingly. it's not just about the boom; so much work goes into contained/ planned explosions. especially when having enough power for a breacher charge and not bringing down the whole building is the difference between mission success and failure

the chemical bombs he makes in alone can't just be any old cleaners, they have to have the correct reaction to each other; he just knew off the top of his head what would mix with what to create what reaction. he would also potentially have to recognise them by sight/smell bc they would’ve been written in spanish

soap would also have to know architecture; recognising structural integrity and weak points so he knows exactly where to plant a charge to bring it down and how it'll come down

he has an incredible soldier's mind people just forget that bc he's sociable which itself is a skill

we know he tends to buck against orders he doesn't agree with like when he pushes back against ghost in capture or kill and shepherd when he tells them to release hassan

he gets closer to people and sees if he can trust them and that's when he follows them without question. really think about how he talks to alejandro and rudy; he asks about their home and alejandro's family and rudy's relationship with him. those aren't questions you ask a stranger after a few hours of knowing them. that's not even touching on his relationship with ghost

he also deliberately brings people of higher ranks down to his level; talking informally with ghost and giving him a shoulder punch, addressing alejandro (a colonel!!) by his first name and rudy by his nickname despite literally just meeting them. he personalises all of them and it’s in direct opposition to the reason most characters do that; it’s not due to insubordination or lack of respect, the more he respects and trusts someone, the more casual he is with them

he digs into people; he wants to know what makes them tick and that determines if he can one, trust them and two, follow their orders. once he decides that, he's the ultimate soldier; he bleeds loyalty which makes him vicious when that loyalty is taken for granted

he isn't naive or bubbly or insecure; he's an incredibly smart and aware soldier. he's aggressive and bloodthirsty and loyal and intuitive and i love him so much

Something something about Bucks ‘boy crush on Eddie’ meaning he’s ready to move past Abby and his ‘oh’ moment on Eddies couch meaning he’s ready to move past Tommy and how both of them are connected to Eddie.

Its the parallel of those moments - that Buck is talking about Eddie being a really great dad in the first one and then doing something to help Eddie be a great dad and in the second, Eddie choosing to go to El Paso to be present in Christophers life - so he is still a Dad and Buck doing something to Help Eddie achieve that goal.

There is something about how both have conversations with Maddie connected to them about crushes or special people and are both about Eddie being a parent and about Buck facilitating Eddies parentalness that connects much more than the accidental coming out to Maddie scene does - that scene is more isolated where as both the crush scene and the new one sit in a sequence of paralleling events

- in S2 - Abby has left - Eddie arrives - Buck meets Chris - finds out Eddie needs help - talks to Maddie who talks about his crush and plants the seed about Carla - Buck gets Eddie over under the guise of helping Maddie move and introduces him to some one especially - Carla.

- In s8 - Tommy leaves - Buck goes to Eddies - Buck talks to Maddie who talks about the universe bringing him a special someone - Jee is paralleled with Carla as a special someone - Buck essentially gets over Tommy by discovering that Eddie is going to be moving and helps him with his appointment with the realtor.

Something something about the concept of tommy being paralleled with Abby, about Abby telling Buck he got her half way to who she was supposed to be (or whatever the line is) by opening the door to the world outside of her mom and it leading her to travel and find her person but how it also got Buck half way to who he is by showing him what a ‘grown up’ relationship looked like - and the idea of stepping in with someone. How that parallels with Tommy getting Buck half way to who he is supposed to be by opening the door to his bisexuality showing him that aspect of himself. But also how Tommy is alt Buck and also alt Abby and how Eddie is Sam - who was in a different state to California and how Eddie is going to end up in a different state and how it feels like Buck growing is about him becoming that alt version of himself and how buck is on his journey to find himself in the same way Abby was - only without the physical travel to Europe - but how Europe was a metaphor for broadened horizons and working through issues so Buck broadening his horizons and working through his issues is him kinda reverting to Buck 1.0 and sleeping around (eat pray love) as he figures out his abandonment issues and then goes after what he wants. How Abby went to stay with her brother - with her family when she got back and that is where she met Sam - and Buck going to El Paso - to his family is leading him to Eddie (which is why there is a bit of me that thinks he will go to El Paso and have his actual ‘OH’ moment there)
