#you're so fucking awesome!!

[knifearo]

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one

Watching a vid essay about the rampant transphobia in house md and its so funny bc every house fan on here a faggot. Like house will gleefully list off several slurs without provocation in a single episode and i will be like "wow thats actually so fucked up. Surely gay people are rightfully outraged over this" and then i log onto tumblr and see hilson fucking super sweaty yaoi nastystyle & house with pre op man boobies on the same dash page without even scrolling

Y'all ever cry when you think about how everyone in Eddie's life assumed he'll make a terrible parent without even offering him the help he needed to prove himself except for Buck?? He hears about Eddie's struggles with parenting and doesn't think 'you're a bad dad' he just thinks 'you need a bit of help' and then proceeds to make that happen for Eddie.

Calling Bobby to get permission to have Chris with them because Eddie doesn't get the time to, introducing Carla to go through the shitty red tapes he's been struggling to figure out, driving him to pick-up Chris after the earthquake, throwing a surprise Christmas party so that Eddie can be with Chris, and being the person Chris can turn to when he doesn't feel like talking to Eddie.

I don't think Buck realizes how much Eddie probably values all the things Buck has done for him to allow him to be the parent that he's always been capable of being. Buck downplays the things he does and probably thinks it's not much but for Eddie it's everything. It's everything Eddie didn't get from his partner or his parents. Buck just... does it for him, as easy as breathing.

This is why it was so, so easy for Eddie to choose Buck as the legal guardian for his Will but it was a shock for Buck. Buck doesn't know how integral he's been to Eddie being a good dad. For Eddie, it's easy because be knows Buck is already capable of stepping up. For Buck, it's surprising because doesn't think all the things he does matters.

Someone: What's your sexuality?

Me: well you see, I never had a serious crush on anyone. Also, I had trouble understanding what a crush even was for most of my life. Also, I identified as aroallo for a while because I thought I was aro but not ace, but now I think I'm ace too. Also, fictional crushes. Also, I enjoy learning and reading/sometimes even writing about kink but have no idea if I would be comfortable actually participating on it. Also, some days I'm perfectly happy like this but other days are still confusing and shitty because it's all still new to me. Also-

speedrun of things that cause me agony in the wondla tv series trailer:

whyyy did they have to make the sanctuary so sterile and minimalistic? the book sanctuaries had this charming clunky 70s sci-fi design to them – they were blocky and durable and Eva's was tangibly lived-in, even worn in some places, because that was the point! they were an experiment that outlived their usefulness, but people kept living in them & they felt like it. this feels like Kim Kardashian's creepy white torture house.

"this... is me." has this line not become extremely passé in trailers, like almost to the point of parody?

that is NOT Muthr. idk who that is, but she is not mothering. it's like they took her book design and stripped away anything that may have been even slightly challenging to the cocomelon-smoothed zeitgeist of current animation. she's just so... nothing. she doesn't even look like a robot so much as like.. the lame soul design from pixar's soul. book Muthr looked WEIRD, but you can see the ways in which she's literally a synthetic + superhuman recreation of a Mother Figure: her head shape mirrors the beehive hairdo, her big eyes are saccharine sweet, she has four arms bc she always needs to do a million things at once, etc. i get that this version of Muthr was probably way easier to animate, and i don't even think they had to stick to the original design 100% as long as they still did something interesting for her, but. they didn't.

rip Eva's sick as hell hairstyle. :( seriously, her complicated braids were so important. bc 1) they were an homage to Dorothy's braids in the wizard of oz, the book to which the whole trilogy is a love letter. 2) they immediately gave her a unique visual identity as a character. 3) they contributed to the world of Wondla feeling genuinely strange and foreign to our current one. 4) they subtly spoke to things like Eva's boredom and loneliness and all the time she had to herself.

the paltry mini braids and single low bun they gave her instead are WEAK. again, they didn't have to follow the books to the letter, but. they did kinda need to give us something more memorable and distinctive than this.

i mean... there is ofc the obvious question of why'd they make her 16 instead of going on 13 like she was in the books? but also, perhaps even more crucially, why does she look like a whole ass adult woman? wondla is very much a coming of age story, and it's really good at capturing the messiness of that experience in every way down to its character design. this Eva doesn't look messy, she looks like an influencer. also i hate that current disneyesque cgi character design.

her outfit's like... fine. but it was so fucking cute in the books. cute and ultra utilitarian, and unlike anything i'd ever really seen before. can't a girl have a vest with a funky collar, cool billowy balloon sleeves, and scrunchy knee socks? do yknow how many kids would want to be Eva for halloween if they simply gave her an outfit that looked cuter? they're leaving money on the damn table.

she wasn't done with her training for life on the surface in the books, and that was important. :/ not that anything could've really prepared her, but the fact that she was so young made her terror and anger all the more palpable. i guess i don't think it's inherently terrible for her to be a bit older in adaptation, but idk, at least let her retain that trial by fire/still kind of a scared kid quality that's integral to her arc.

the placement of the 'wondla' letters on the page makes no sense. it's meant to be the wonderful wizard of oz (or the wonderful wizard of oz by l. frank baum. i forget which, but ONE of those for sure), so by all accounts the l and a shouldn't be right next to each other like that, there should be more space between those two letters.

now i don't fully remember, but i super don't think that 'Eva find me' note was in the books. Eva would've been way more obsessed with it if it was. in the books, she doesn't know the 'wondla' page was actually left for her, it's just this strange anomaly she finds that gives her hope, but she sort of creates that hope herself. its origin is an honest to god mystery until the second book, and therefore, the meaning that Eva gives it is what really comes to define it.

it's not just that no one had seen a human in a long time, most aliens on Orbona had never seen a human at all until Eva came along. that's a big difference! though, this audio does sound chopped up from multiple sentences, so maybe disregard this.

i don't like that they gave away the 'Orbona was once Earth' twist right off the bat. i know it's not a wholly original trope in sci-fi, but this is a middle-grade/family series, and it straight up blew my mind to see as a kid that hadn't ever really read true sci-fi before. and Orbona is SO bizarre, and Eva is SO desperate to find other humans, that the reveal is extra jarring and bleak, and it creates such powerful tension. why give the impact of that away in the trailer?? why not just let people think she's stuck on an alien planet until they get the full emotional gut punch when they actually watch it for themselves?

where's the lake in Lacus? :/ that was... kinda the basis of Lacus' culture and design and all. like ok i see some water, but Lacus should be almost more water than village.

Otto's design!! why god why.

why is Otto furry, why are his eyes Like That, etc.

nooo, don't show the ruins of New York in the trailer, that's for the audience to discover in horror along with Eva.

also why does Otto (i think that's him talking at least?) sound like that? thumbs down.

what are the. uh. shark tale-looking creatures running on water. they're very shark tale-looking (derogatory). they don't look like they belong in this series?? like did this footage just get misfiled?

egads it's coming out at the end of this month. i'm gonna watch it of course. but the whole time i'll be thinking about what could've been. and i'll reread the books, too. >:|

i need every fantasy high junior year (and beyond) episode to end like a cheesy high school comedy from the 90s-00s from here on out

I love playing lethal company b/c there are some moments that actually scare me and I love being scared. I think they should implement a beast that only lives in the pitch black parts of the map and it's a barely defined sillouette of a vaguely human like organism that has unblinking bloodshot eyes and pearly white human teeth that it smiles at you with

[localguy2]

Yeah so-

Brant Miller sure does know how to make Zane shout VERY loudly...

Inspired by @finniestoncrane ‘s playlist for Capullo’s Riddler!! Been listening to it while going to class and it makes me chuckle quite a lot. I honestly love Finnie’s writing and her blog has been getting me through this week. 

Looking forward to doing more drawing next week since I actually have some spare time, I hope. Lot’s of Riddler and hopefully some other DC characters on the way!!

[sage-is-in-fact-very-tired]

actually, here's your post about the sherberts' voices for a second. Because, with the exception of krit who's voice is pitched higher, *they all have the same voice* - it's the same the whole way through. But you can tell the difference between them. I know at the beginning of the one-shot stream I made I post about how there are subtle different between cc!sherbs voice and irl!sherbs voice - and it's not about pitch or anything, it's all about tone and mannerism and delivery. Irl!sherb has a different tone and a different way of speaking to any of the other sherbs, and so does Icarus and Ash - and like, yeah I can look at Icarus and Ash and tell you they have similar ways of speaking, but they aren't the same. Ajax speaks oh so differently to Icarus, or to Cedar, or to Reo. The subtlest differences can change the character and who is speaking, and I think Sherbert's ability to do that is *fucking amazing* - the small differences add up, and I think that being able to portray that is really really cool. I really think, going back to the post that spawned this one, that the small difference between cc!sherb and irl!sherb are really interesting - there's such a small difference but it absolutely makes or breaks what is to be taken as lore, and what isn't, and just like. Sherbert your ability to convey that just through small differences in the way you're talking is so fucking cool to me

Appreciation post for 'girly girl' characters and/or shows that celebrate traditionally feminine things that girls and women are shamed for.

Characters on this list that love makeup, fashion, hair, etc. Characters that are still written as strong, intelligent, brave, etc. That told young girls that these interests are valid, they are not lesser interests. Being feminine and liking traditionally feminine things does not make them weak.

If you aren't reading KJ Charles's books I sincerely do not know what you're doing with your life.

[problemnyatic]

things like you are so fucking embarrassing. we don't need some weird tranny calling itself a "bit", who convinced itself its got talking sparkle furries in its head, (get help btw, 25 years old and still talking to imaginary friends isn't cute or quirky.) trying to write a holier than thou think piece on every liberal talking point known to man. why not try uplifting normal peoples voices instead of centering yourself all the damn time. but I know that's a hard concept to grasp for you fucking freaks.

I am literally eating cup noodles right now. hey man how's it going

[becca-e-barnes]

becca please keep writing for ari you’re fueling my ari obsession and i fucking love it😩

No bc Ari is definitely one of the filthiest mfs around and I have a real need for that rn. I still haven't watched that damn movie

I feel like Ari's punishments would be next level though

I really love the thought of him coming home and catching you playing with a vibe and while he's not annoyed, he pretends to be.

"You thought you could touch your needy little pussy without me? Did you forget it's mine?" His eyes are totally focused on your body and the way you haven't stopped rolling the toy against yourself. You're either so close you can't stop yourself or you're getting off on being watched. He doesn't really care either way, all he cares about is the fact you seem to have somehow gotten wetter since he entered your shared bedroom.

"I'm sorry, Ari." You whine, struggling to keep your hips from rutting desperately against the toy for a little more sensation.

"No you're fuckin' not. You think I can't see how you're getting off on this? You're so slutty sometimes, I hardly even know what to do with you." Fuck, he's loving this. He watches how you grip your own breast with your free hand, squeezing and playing with yourself, purely for your own pleasure. He's right; it feels slutty. And both of you love it.

"Give me that." He demands and for a second you could almost cry, thinking he's going to turn it off and leave you like this. You couldn't stop now, not when you can feel the warmth tingling in your tummy, so close to an orgasm that you could almost give in.

You hand it over reluctantly, letting him take control of your pleasure. You trust him but it's a trust he's earned. He holds your knee in one hand, keeping your legs spread while he keeps the toy pressed against you with the other, just a little firmer than you had been.

"That's it, you're such a good little slut. Look so fucking pretty rubbing yourself silly like that. Just need a firm hand, don't you?" You're hardly even listening to him, your head thrown back as you rock yourself against the toy once more, chasing your high.

Until the sensation stops, just for a second. Before you even have a chance to question it, you feel a rough spank land on your clit, making you yelp from the pain. A second later, the vibrations are back and it's better than ever, your pussy throbbing and your hole twitching, desperate to be filled.

"This is my pussy. Don't forget that." Ari growls, possessiveness dripping from him, not giving you time to brace yourself before he delivers another rough spank.

i'm actually so grateful that i was able to watch mr. rogers, sesame street, blues clues, etc. when i was a kid. i remember them making me feel so happy and safe and they surely taught me some great things.
