you've heard of: aroacespec "is this person flirting with me" confusion, now get ready for: Does this person think I'm flirting with them (and also are they flirting "back" with me) because I accidentally bumped into them a lot?
#new jersey girl seems to really like me that makes me happy#nobody's been attracted to me before#but it'll make me sad if she asks me out#because even though I LOVE her i think i'd have to say no just because i really imagine myself#with a boyfriend far more than a girlfriend lately and i don't want to put her into a relationship that might end up feeling like#misgendering...#aro#ace#aroace#aroacespec#aromantic#arospec#greyromantic#greyro#I said this#we've been walking all over campus together and she's um. not a very considerate walker i keep#almost getting pushed off the path so that's whyh i keep bumping into her lol#but also she seems to like standing/sitting near me?#and i said 'i think my face is a little...' because i was thinking it felt like it got too much sun#and she was like 'i think your face is a little too-- wait what did u say?'#and i said i didn't even use an adjective but said burnt/red was what i should have siad#and she just said 'i think your face is a little'#like is that an oblique compliment??#okay the funniest part is yesterday she said some random girl came up to her and said she looked pretty and she wasn't sure if it was#flirting or just a compliment so she doesn't even know what flirting is either lol#also she calls me Data now bc i told her about hwo my uncle said my parents consult me like picard consults data lol#tbh maybe i gave her the wrong signals by moisturizing when she was in my room last night?#(kept sticking my hand under my clothes. my roommate brought her in right after i showered)#i asked my roommated if that was weird and she thought it was fine but she might not be the best metric

i really hate when cis men call me handsome. you do NOT fucking mean that
#i hate anyone assuming i wanna be called handsome just because i'm a trans man. i know what the fuck i look like#and i only trust SOME trans people to call me handsome and genuinely mean it. i don't need forced validation#i think the only people i feel 100% comfortable with and actually flattered by when they call me handsome are lesbians lmao#i literally prefer for people to call me pretty. or just call me attractive or cute or beautiful or sexy or gorgeous or whatever#but i'm a kinda weird-looking androgynous guy with super long hair and clown clothes. ''handsome'' does not suit me#and i highly fucking doubt it's the first adjective that comes to mind when you see me. so if you don't mean it then don't say it

I officially read the Flatland short story and I'm just saying
Gonna be calling Bill Cipher this from now on actually.
#mostly joking but i did just wheeze when i saw it#what is it with Victorians and using [adjective] Prometheus in their literary works#If I had a nickel for every time a protagonist in a Victorian novel was referred to as [adjective] Prometheus I would have two nickels#which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.#anyways I say I'm gonna call Bill this because like A. Square he tried to bring the fire of knowledge of the 3rd dimension to Flatland#except unlike A. Square who failed miserably Bill also failed miserably but *did* manage to actually bring literal fire#which. was a problem.#anyways#sends him on his way to his 3:00 “get your liver pecked out by eagles” appointment at the theraprism

i absolutely do not vibe at all with any red hood steph concept ive ever seen because fucking nobody engages with it in any depth its just 🤔🤔 steph is basically the same as jason right? people who dont like jason online say so so it must be true~
like i need you first of all to walk back several steps and understand two major things about utrh and stephanie brown here. the first is that steph got into crime fighting in the first place bc she wanted to ~spoil~ the crimes of her c-list supervillain father. the second is that the core of the tragedy of the red hood is that batman is supposed to be his fucking dad.
so if you do want to do a red hood stephie concept here which. to be clear is not something i am INHERENTLY opposed to. you have a couple options to make it potentially coherent but you need to actually be deliberate and clear about what youre trying to do with that concept. you need to step away from jasons tragedy and look at hers and figure out where exactly her anger and hurt are coming from and who exactly theyre directed at, as well as what specifically in your au concept it would be so different than the canon one where when she comes back she wants to do pretty much the opposite of what jason wanted when *he* came back.
and. crucially. if the difference is the relationship she has to bruce being different you actually do need to show not tell that dude. im sorry but if you just *tell* me that in your universe that steph has a more deep and meaningful relationship to bruce i 100% always am like "ill believe it when i fucking see it". like, she has parents of her own and while that doesnt preclude having a more signficant relationship with bruce (see: timmy)... you really do have to do the legwork or it looks like youre just writing them out and asking us to take your word for it that Of Course steph wants bruce to adopt her, hes batman! gag, retch, spew. do notdo this.
FRANKLY in a reverse robins concept i vibe way more with steph as red robin than anything specifically her getting the dumpster costume from whoever you do put in the red hood role. (frankly x2 i still think if they really truly had to do the storyline they did in canon where shes still trying to do bruces dirty work for him and hires assassins to kill tim to ~make him better~ lmao she should have been the one who wore the Bad Robin uniform before tim got it instead of fuckin ulysses i just think it would have been more coherent and also funner for me personally)
anyway if you link me a red hood steph concept here and it sucks or does any of the things i Just finished critiquing i will be very irritated and i will not be polite to you about it. just as a fair warning.
#still kind of mad about this one time the topic came up and someone linked me a rh steph bc 'shes so sexy in it'#i was like bestie does the term gay man mean anything to you. and they were like#'oh sorry im asexual so i forgot that when some people say sexy it means they want to Fuck them'#...#like can you walk me through any of your logic here. why sexy was the adjective you used in the first place instead of like#'interesting'. 'compelling.' 'charismatic' even#why are you acting like im the weird one for assuming you meant attractive or swoonworthy being the main draw of the character.#why am i supposdly the one who made it about whether or not *either of us* wants to fuckthe fictional character. i wasnt even thinking that#i truly madly deeply did not assume anything more than that you meant attractive when you said attractive#lmfao.#this wasnt even the only time that shit has happened to me. please do not do this.#i would love to say with confidence 'you wouldnt say shit like that to a lesbian about sexy men' but frankly i do have a sinking feeling+#that they would#whatever. none of that was the fucking point#the point is jasons evil era doesnt work if u just copypaste it on steph shes a totally different character the context is totally differen#text#dc#steph text

the little form for the first year students induction party is explicitly asking for pronouns y'all. do i wholeheartedly say he/she/french neo gender neutral and hope i'm not making a huge mistake.
#they're asking for pronouns AND using neo gender neutral adjectives in the form#which is btw DEAD forbidden in formal academic writing#like. that's too much effort for them to include that performatively only to be weird abt nb people once there's a real one in the room#right?#i'll be damned if i'm in a humanities course and i'm the ONLY trans/nb person there. it's not possible.#i've been wearing my subtle-ish nb flag bracelets for the past three days and nobody has commented on it in good or bad so#i'm pretty sure i'm safe#well i put he/she/they/it in my instagram bio anyway and they know my username so. hell with it.#broadcasting my misery

(ooc. totally stream of consciousness-posting and will delete this in five minutes but @chounaifu's post on flying proton just reminded me that Kahili exists and her entire personality in the games is just GOLF. Five or so lines to the player about GOLF, and then she just appears in the Elite Four before peacing out. They didn't even try with her. I love it. GOLF.)
#ooc#tbd#G O L F#(gamefreak usually gives us at least two adjectives to describe even the minorest characters but kahili?? just...golf all the way down)#(sumo was a weird wonderful time)

@cyneris replied ; WHAT ?? ur telling me this beautiful man is that weirdo of a sheep ???
❝ Yes, since this is our first time interacting in this form, allow me to introduce myself once again. It is I, the 𝐒 𝐡 𝐢 𝐧 𝐧 𝐢 𝐧 𝐠 sheep, Dumuzid. Though calling upon this name .. More than half the time, nothing particularly special will happen. But it's worth the try nonetheless. ❞
#cyneris#;d.umuzid#MMMM about him;#he speaks gently and he is painfully adorable as a sheep but bc he is still a god-#sometimes his behavior is just incomprehensible to humans#he likes taking long sun baths and lounge around doing nothing in particular; sometimes he shits grails#when he walks around in his sheep form u hear 'tac tac tac' bc his leggies are like big yarn needles#he will be pretty for formal occasions so he is like ur trophy husband#he accepts entirely that u think he is weird; he doesnt mind much though he would prefer a different adjective#or to simply be called my lord would suffice as well#he has this habit of mixing english words in the middle of his sentences too

Ok the confession I remembered seeing was on the mcyt confessions blog instead that makes sense lol. I just wanted to look at it again. The feeling of seeing someone finally point out that treebark could be seen as unhealthy and being like “omg someone finally said it-“ and then the notes are all just “what? anon is being so weird they’re literally the healthiest ship in the entire series” like HE CHOPPED OFF HIS HEAD??? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???
#I’m NOT saying that treebark was toxic as hell. but why is it being PRAISED for being HEALTHY#I think it’s a beautiful ship that has lots of tragedy and is very sweet and other great adjectives.#but after Martyn’s AITA stream and there was the one about him chopping off Rens head I sort of had an ‘oh’ moment#cuz my response to that AITA (remember we had to pretend we didn’t know the context) was YOU ARE IN A CULT GET OUT#and then I rewatched flower husbands 3L pov and we all know the banner scene but did we all forget that in that very scene#Martyn acted EXACTLY the way Grian would act when Scar talked to people?#ppl forget that Ren made Martyn chop off his head which was VERY traumatic for him like he STILL isn’t over it#and let’s not pretend Martyn is perfect either like. it’s Martyn. DUH.#also idk if it was bad per se but I mentioned that without context it seemed like Ren dragged Martyn into a cult but in LL Martyn actually#brought Ren into some weird shadow cult like LMAO. yeah these guys are too dramatic for their own good.#aough. I got goosebumps thinking about these two cuz it’s soo good. do NOT strip the ship of its FLAVOR#like I said. it’s not like straight up toxic or anything but it’s ABSOLUTELY NOTT ur perfect wholesome healthy couple.#I would call them a tragedy tbh. also I miss Ren being in the series. there should be a new season just for him to be in it

Thoughts on the little mermaid
I may be misremembering but didn't it feel like very painful to walk at some point after her transformation? Like the fact she's dancing makes me wonder if she's doing it by choice (my immediate image before I even realized it was probably the little mermaid was that she was delirious for some reason, maybe bc Cinderella wasn't like "yeah she's dancing and seems to be like. At peace" she just seems lost??)
Trying to figure out about the walking thing bit TV tropes reminded me: in the story mermaids DONT have an afterlife, iirc they fully become inanimate sea foam. How does this interact with Neverafter?? It seems like she persists between stories so I doubt it's like 'when mermaids die they stay dead instead of existing again' or whatever but at the same time this could be like way more fucked up if they do get another life? Bc while it's Unnatural for everyone one else it's like afterlife isn't super far from reincarnation they're not Close but there's a comparison to make about life/death/life again or whatever but if that part of mermaid lore is Canon in neveragyer uh. Well that's. Something
Also at the end spoilers for little mermaid the original one doesn't she like... become a daughter of the air. I fully forgot this Part and came back to write this but anyway that's interesting I forget where I was going with it though
read the Wikipedia article and it says that she "will be able to dance like no human has ever danced before. However, she will constantly feel as if she is walking on sharp knives" can we please get someone to prescribe her some painkillers
In the original story she also dances like for the prince... which... is curious. Is there a prince present on toy island?
SPEAKING OF toy island is like 12-14 year Olds right? So this brings up the question: how old is she? Did she just lice in the sea near the island or did she end up there because she's a kid or both?
Ylfa sister??? It would be really cool to contrast "transformation that makes you feel ugly and dangerous but gives you the ability to literally lessen the damage you take" and "transformation that makes you supernaturally graceful but causes you excruciating pain when you make use of that grace" like. Neither is Less Bad but they're so... hhhhhhh
Edit: generally the little mermaid is 15. Which would put her a Bit above the generally given age range (8-14?) Of toy island. Also the stepmother isn't special most of these girls don't have names
#Neverafter spoilers#I want to get her some good shoes with heel support and good cushioning and prescription drugs. Is this too much to ask.#(<- is in pain every time I stand for like more than 5 minutes. Please help her...)#Also. Sea witch. Let's go in the ocean everyone#And tbh if she is like 12-14 this makes the mer-king a lot less... scary? Not the right word but Like. If this is the case he has a point#Not a Great one but big diff between being weird abt his adult daughter being gone vs his potentially child daughter being gone yknow#I wanna meet her....#Stepmother: ohhhh I'm nameless this is so sad#Cinderella: literally got her name from being covered in ash#Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty and Snow White: kinda just. adjective plus noun. or 2 adjectives#For Snow White. Puss In Boots. Frog Prince. Mother Goose. Little Red Riding Hood. Ma'am a lot of pure descriptors going on.#Pinocchio is like the only actually Name that isn't purely a descriptor though it's kinda like. Related to wood maybe
