I’m reblogging my own shit 2 years later cause I stand by my dumb cake metaphor. Gosh. Someone call me an attention whore cause I just want someone to look at me god dammit.
I’m gonna use a really stupid metaphor or whatever it’s called to say something unrelated to explain something else. I know like two people are gonna see this but I have thoughts and so here they are.
So if a cake looks like- let’s say an apple(cuz you know those super realistic sculpture cakes) and you think it’s an apple but then you cut it and find out it’s a cake are you gonna get mad at it for looking like an apple?
Like I want someone to fight me! I may look like an apple but I’m an cake I assure you. Now the metaphor kinda falls apart here but I’m still serious. You’re not gonna keep calling the cake an apple once you realize so like- if it’s that easy to stop mislabeling a cake how about you use some of that brain power to stop mislabeling people?
Look I don’t care if people accidentally mislabel me. ACCIDENTS happen I know. Quit whining and blubbering over it though. You’re the one making a big deal out of it. I’ve accidentally misgendered cis people before because I just talk fast. It’s not a big freaking deal. Whenever someone gets whiny about having trouble referring to me properly it makes me afraid they are going to stop trying. Because that seems to be what whiny people do.
You are so god damned capable of referring to me correctly and if you’re busy saying it’s “hard” then you just don’t care enough. You have so much fucking brain power that you can learn new routes to drive and can cook and play dumb phone games. You could learn a new language if you wanted. Quit making excuses! Yeah learning new things can be hard but if I abandoned my car every time I came to a speed bump I wouldn’t have a car anymore... you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill because you want to say you can’t climb but we’re both staring down at the little pile of dirt you won’t step over.
I get that looking at someone society has told you is a girl and saying he can be difficult. I get that calling someone by other pronouns when your brain provides a binary one automatically can be weird. But so is driving a car for the first time. Or eating weird new foods that you didn’t grow up with. Just because you grew up riding in the passenger seat of your moms car doesn’t mean you can make her drive you your whole life. We learn things everyday, so just because something poses a challenge doesn’t mean you can’t do it and it sure as shit isn’t an excuse not to.
TLDR
Society is dumb.
Don’t be whiny just tell me what you really think.
Also if you don’t care enough to use your brain to refer to me correctly, I don’t care enough to use mine to talk to you.
I accidentally fell down a hour long rabbit hole on TikTok cause I clicked on the wrong app but I made it. I’m here. I have a super important question. Can someone please tell me why he did it?!? Why did Juno leave? Why did my sweet baby girl run away from the lovely, the dashing, the amazing Peter Nureyev? I don’t care if it’s spoilers! I don’t care if you’re lying! I need a god damned explanation for the stupidest thing our boy, our lady, our little dumbass could do! Why? I keep listening and thinking! It’s not just cause the writers wanted to right? Surely there is a reasonable explanation! Right? RIGHT!? It just doesn’t work! I can’t explain it with his self loathing, or his mistrust of people, or some stupid fear of change? I’ve sat on that precipice, only for me there was actually a glass floor and I crashed into it over and over but I’m getting away from the point. The only actual explanation I can think of is that the writers didn’t want to change their setting, or leave behind their format! Please tell me that’s not why!!!

This exact screenshot is from June 24, 2013, and was posted by Toby Fox himself to the /r/Homestuck subreddit two years prior to the release of Undertale when he first revealed the project to fans of the webcomic, back when Toby was just the Homestuck music guy and hadn’t produced one of the most beloved games of all time. This image is 7 years old and predates the game’s release by two years. This exact JPG has been on my iPad since 2013; this not a screenshot from the released game. This is a relic of ancient history and needs to be preserved.
If a cis man wears pink frilly clothing you won’t criticize him for identifying as a man even though he looks girly. You’ll criticize him for his clothing choices. But if a trans man doesn’t want to wear a skirt he’s like, still not a man or whatever?
Look dude, I just don’t get it. Why do people have to be so up in people’s business? When your mom tells you how to dress your kids you get so upset KAREN, so don’t tell me how to dress myself.
Small Town Grocery Store Stories: LGBTQ+ friendly edition
Me: minding my own damn business in the grocery store
One of my students and a few of his teammates enter the dairy aisle.
My student is holding hands with one of his teammates.
My student: Oh hey, Professor X!
Me, who has both my student and his girlfriend in my class: …Hello
My student, looking at his hand-holding partner: Oh! Don’t worry. My girlfriend knows. Not that I’m cheating! I’m not cheating. I’m not gay.
Hand Holding boy: Not that being gay is a bad thing! It’s a good thing!
My student: Right! But no, listen. We aren’t together, we just hold hands in public sometimes.
Hand Holding Boy: Especially on Friday nights. And weekends. And at away games.
My student: Because sometimes people will say shit and then we can punch them! And if the fight started because someone was being homophobic, coach won’t get mad at us.
Hand Holding Boy: Always nice to punch a homophobe. And [gesturing to another boy in the group] maybe they’ll think twice about saying something to [other boy’s name] if he ever gets a boyfriend and wants to hold his hand for real.
The Gay One, resigned but smiling: I’ve decided it’s sweet and not really fucking weird.
