#yeah you shouldn’t

[dreamyintersexouppy]

all the tme intersex people i used to know suddenly jumping on the newest transmisogynistic bandwagon and immediately spewing all the same “ur just overreacting, you call everything transmisogyny, stop being hysterical!!!” bullshit really puts into perspective how the intersex community on here gained any traction to begin with, y’all are not immune to pulling the same bullshit perisex people do and you’re calling the intersex transfems arguing against you perisex??? just to let afabs pretend to be us so you have that idealized quiet trans woman again, like i’m sorry but this is a strawman on par with “white trans woman” nothing has changed and at some point you need to realize that your conception of what these terms mean just doesn’t reflect their actual rhetorical use in real conversations about queerness

Star Wars au set in the 70s where Luke is in a not so fulfilling job as a law clerk, he starts writing as a hobby and ends up writing a very vague version of the original Star Wars trilogy. It does very well and Luke’s pretty proud of himself for the original idea until Leia reads it and has some notes

Leia:….you’re aware this is just your life in space right?

Luke: huh? What are you talking about?

Leia: well let’s see, a young farm boy named Mark Starkiller raised by his aunt and uncle.

Luke: well that’s just coincidence

Leia: he teams up with a sarcastic outlaw and his hairy alien friend, this is obviously Han and Chewie

Luke: wha- no it’s not-

Leia: and let me guess, the princess is his long lost sister?

Luke:…

Leia:…

Luke:…oh my god-

Leia: not to mention this stoic ‘mandalorian’ character who is a misunderstood father to a little alien baby and has undeniable sexual tension with the main character

Luke: oh mY GOD!

I’ve been doing some stream of consciousness thoughts re: Akechi and I think my final opinion on that whole situation is just… it sucks.

Like I’m not going to say “woe is he” or anything because boy, what are you doing. What the hell are you doing. You doomed yourself!!! Because of your own stupid pride!!! Akechi.

But I’m not going to say “cool motive still murder” either because. Can you imagine. Being that lonely and that hungry for anything resembling affection and pride in your person that you’d shatter yourself into pieces just to find a shard that they like best because you’ve grown up being told again and again that you are unwanted and unloveable as you are. Fundamentally. And all you have is this singular drive that makes you feel worse and worse about who you actually are inside so you double down on your fake image because at least fickle fame is better than nothing and it’s all you’re going to get at this point, but at the same time this drive is also the one thing you feel you’ve had any power to determine or enact, and you did it all yourself when the world expected nothing of value from you, so yeah, of course you’d pursue it harder to the point of violently self-destructing - only for that all to get wrenched away with “you never fooled me and I was just puppeteering you all along and I never needed you”, pulling the rug out from under your vengeful purpose, your autonomous image, and your starved core desire, all at once. And then your asshole dad’s twisted headspace image of you shoots you point blank.

He dooms himself because he thought he was already doomed. Caught up in a cycle of cruelty to both himself and others, that he saw no point in trying to escape from, and didn’t want to, because it would mean relinquishing the (it turns out) quite fragile image he’d painstakingly built up. He’s a product of his environment, which led to him making god-awful choices, which in turn trapped him in a worse environment. How many people have died here or become grievously injured as a result of it all.

What do I even do with this. It just all around sucks.

[dykesynthezoid]

I think the funniest thing about scogan to me is that if you try to imagine it in practice it actually ends up much more compellingly fulfilling some of the tropes that the comics have seemingly always been trying to push with Jean/Logan. Which is just. Hilarious. Like the supposed (very old, tired, romance novel ass) dynamic they’ve often tried to push w Jean/Logan (esp in the new xmen era) is that of Logan representing some sort of… wildness or freedom to Jean’s restraint. That her “giving in” (yuck) to him is also her embracing… idk? Some sort of more natural, unrestrained version of herself and her power.

But it falls really flat with Jean not just bc of the misogyny inherent in the trope but also bc. She’s literally already done that. Like several times in fact. It’s sort of her whole thing. She doesn’t need to fuck Logan to step into her unrestrained power. She already, as a character, is supposed to be a vibrant, impossible, wild manifestation of pure creative/destructive will. (And really it’s kind of everyone else— and the writers’ latent misogyny— that keep fucking that up for her).

Scott on the other hand. Well. He kind of is the high powered female romantic lead obsessed with her job who gets sent on a work trip to a rural town where she’s forced to loosen up a little. Like for better or worse that’s kind of exactly him. He would fit alarmingly well in that sort of push and pull storyline. Which is so… good to me. That Scott, of all people, makes more sense on the cover of a Johanna Lindsey novel than Jean does. That him having that kind of dynamic with Logan actually feels way more interesting bc Scott is restrained to a fault, he is an insufferable, neurotic little headcase who would rather die than tell a waiter they got his order wrong. And yet he’s also the guy who’s admitted to actively enjoying riling Logan up bc part of him just wants to see what will happen. Which I’m pretty sure is called chemistry

i try not to let dumbass fandom disk horse take up any space in my mind but now on behalf of the percico side of the fandom that had to deal with that entitled negativity i wanna write a percico drabble

actually the smuttier and more offensive the better

[sunnist4rs]

I hate men because today after years of my brother mocking me whenever I talk about something I’m well informed on by saying I did no research I finally told him how much it upsets me. So straight after he brought up my male assault statistics and called them fake before leaving.

[idontmindifuforgetme]

The amount of issues I face for treating men like normal people boggles my mind for real. I cannot tell you how many times a guy has assumed I’m into him just bc I’m a nice, bubbly person and I don’t allow my personality to discriminate between genders. It has either caused guys to make unwanted advances or the dynamic to get super awkward if they think I want to pursue something. And it’s just like no. That’s who I am. That’s how I exist

[fandom-related-me]

People are so fucking brain dead I swear, if I see one more hateful thing in the FUCKING MAIN TAGS IM GONNA HUNT THEM DOWN, like dude, people with at least 26 years old posting hate on the main tags of a character, have you learned NOTHING from being on here? Not only on the main tags BUT ALSO WITHOUT *anti blah blah *anti this, *pessimist what god makes me wanna rip someone’s nails off

Did you wash your brain in the washing machine and it came out velvet smooth? Where the fuck are the basic codes, tags work so that people can CREATE and choose their own environment. So they can feel SAFE, in an environment of their own choosing, at ease with the content they receive but NO these brainrotted doofuses just refuse to keep it in their tags

If you don’t like what you see on a tag or it upsets you for some reason or trauma or ANYTHING IS VALID, you BLOCK IT OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND, it’s gone never even existed, BUT IF THESE PEOPLE KEEP CROSSTAGGIN SHIT AND KEEP POSTING ON THE MAIN TAGS ITS QUITE A HARD THING TO DO AINT IT? You damn sicko, you are upsetting people and also risking you yourself GETTING HATE ON YOUR DMs ON YOUR ASKS AND DAMN RIGHT YOU SHOULD

got in my bed, feeling really good bc I did a bunch of little tasks on the laptop. like, hell yes? productive queen? put my water reflect light on, thought I’d just stare at the ceiling for a little while and enjoy the patterns. what do I see right as I put my head on my pillow?

a spider.

lowering itself right towards my face. absolutely shat myself, jumped out of bed, thinking?? glad I just shut my laptop down, two more minutes and that think would’ve landed on my hair??!! stood for 15 minutes trying not to cry, immobilised and unable to do anything but stare at it so I know exactly where it is.

remembered I have spider spray in the bathroom.

sprayed the cunt. he froze and fell on my bed. bed forever contaminated now. then he UNFROZE and ran down the back of the bed??? what the fuck was I supposed to do then? he ran back up the bed, just to taunt me. he was laughing at me. I froze the little twat again. was building up the courage to put my hand near it and crush it. then it started twitching. I panicked again and sprayed it more and it rolled off the bed down the back. couldn’t see it for a while, had the bright idea to lie on the floor and look. he had defrosted ONCE AGAIN and was back on his feet. like ok fucking flame on I guess, what are you, a miniature spider furnace? fuck off. I am very close to crying by this stage. so I freeze the fuck out of him for the third? fourth? time, but he’s in the back corner by the wall near the dresser like how the fuck am I supposed to reach my hand in there and crush it with some paper?

anyways I somehow managed to build up the inner strength. I survive. eight-legged cunt did not. bed is forever ruined. water lamp ruined. happiness of accomplishment destroyed. and for what

[riickgrimes]

it just really breaks my heart that most of the discourse has to focus on dying children in order to humanize palestinians as if fully grown adult human beings don’t also deserve your attention, empathy, respect, and care

Do you have any SDV hot takes?

Boy do I ever Anon! Thank you for giving me the chance to get on my soapbox about this.

Shane doesn't relapse when he is happily married to the Farmer. The popular "relapse" interpretation is based on faulty assumptions about what substance abuse recovery is supposed to look like and flat-out misreadings of the text of the game.

Shane doesn't "start" drinking again: he never stops, just reduces the amount he drinks. (Unless we are supposed to interpret the phrase "cut back" in the 7 Heart Event as meaning "quit” or "gave up” for some reason. Or if we ignore the new 1.6 dialogue about him drinking less after his 6 Heart event.)

Shane's mess is not a consequence of uncontrolled drinking, but a consequence of his depression and possible under-managed ADHD. His room at Marnie's remains exactly as messy when he's in recovery as it is when he's spiraling, so the drinking has no effect on his cleanliness.

”Okay,” you might say, “but he still shouldn’t drink, and he should pick up his room.” And sure, yeah. Ideally we should all do the same. But that’s not always a fair or realistic expectation for everyone. Not everyone can quit their addictions or bad habits cold turkey. Not everyone is going to be the model citizen. That doesn’t mean they can’t live happy lives. That doesn’t mean they don’t have value. That doesn’t mean Shane doesn’t have value.

So instead of complaining about the ways that Shane fails to measure up to typical adult standards, it may be more productive to ask: is he happy? Is he doing okay?

By any reasonable measure, a married Shane is living his best possible life. He‘s surprised and delighted to be your trophy husband. He doesn’t have to worry about taking a soul-sucking job or struggling with unemployment. His drinking isn’t causing him any problems, and if he can’t keep his personal space clean, at least he doesn’t let his mess spread to the rest of the house. He has his own little coop for Charlie and it’s just adorable to watch him bounce her up and down. He actually makes time for Jas. I am not requiring everyone to love Shane the way he is written, or to make space in their farmhouse for him. But please, have realistic expectations for the character that exists. And do make friends with him. He gives you an OP recipe and access to blue chickens!
