My disapproval of those who cheat on their partners is constantly at odds with my love of bisexual historical figures

#bisexual men in the 19th-20th centuries don't fuck everyone you meet challenge #yes I just watched a movie about Leonard Berenstein this is also about Oscar Wilde #draco speaks #I don't think Virginia Woolf counts because as far as I can gather her husband knew about her intimate relationship with Vita #and had zero objections to it #Vita was also the only 'affair' if you can call it that Virginia ever had

wooooo warlock Wally and his delightful totally normal patron

#in my mind home can change his form drastically #like they only have hands or a humanoid form if they so please #theyre simple a writhing pit of darkness with red eyes/teeth #i imagine that when they first met home had zero affection for wally #it was purely an 'im using you. youre nothing but a puppet to me' #but then yk time passes shit happens #and before you know it home is all 'if anything happened to wally id kill everyone in this room and then myself' #scribble salad #wh fantasy au #and yes i Will restate their dynamic over and over and over again bc i love it and i love repetition #to home wally is.... a companion. a pet. a puppet. a home. a friend. a lover (kinda its complicated). a host. a plaything. an accomplice <3 #and then wally looks up at this horrific Demon and goes 'my home <3 @:)' #he doesnt get why everyone is afraid of home... hes just a lil guy c'mahn.... #(except hes not little at all and the home shown here has scaled itself down to hang more easily with wally) #wally likes to paint for home! his paintings are the only physical objects home keeps in their house form! #theyre like 'yeah you can drive nails into my body so i can keep pieces of you with me. thats cool no no it doesnt hurt at all i promise'

i wanted to weigh bad faith readings vs how clumsy the writing in Weapons Factory actually was to make people dislike luminara so much and. wow. she literally falls to her knees and despairs when she thinks barriss is dead.

#luminara unduli #luminara my beloved none of these bitches understand you 💚💚💚 #tcw #the clone wars #barriss offee #people really condemn her for being heartless and joke about how expendable barriss is to her #as though she wasnt entirely FLOORED by the idea of having lost her #all she knew was that barriss and ahsoka were ground zero of the explosion that took out the entire factory #like how on earth do you twist that against her? #dgmw the writing is pretty weird but the odds of them surviving were NOT great like come on #mine #they tried for anakin & ahsoka vs luminara & barriss for a hope vs pessimism comparison but then only show the drawback to facing reality #it wouldve been better if anakin had insisted they waste time searching the tunnels bc he KNOWS they got out in time #vs luminara overcoming her grief to push to search the center of the blast as thats objectively where theyre most likely to find them #and its actually a miracle on the master's pov when theyre found alive despite lumi's doubts but not where anakin wouldve had them looking #the padawan team ahsoka's trust wins out but barriss's perspective braces them for the worst #meanwhile luminara tackles not giving up and anakin DOESNT face the facts and luminara gives the wise words of needing to be able to let go

the fact that I cannot simply quit my job. there’s plenty of food and space and skilled people in the world. things could function so much better with a tenth the labor if we were efficient about it. but we aren’t. and under capitalism I love my job - I am incredibly lucky to have it and even find it fulfilling in its way. but also I am disabled and my life would be 1000% easier if I just didn’t have to find miracle jobs to make what still comes to below poverty wages given how few hours I can manage. but even though the amount of money I make is play money to other people, it’s the only thing giving me dignity, both the dignity of privacy in spending and the false dignity of being a “productive member of society”. plus, like, I gotta eat and feed my cats, even if I’m currently rent free. but sometimes I think about the ways money and my job (and their relationship with my health) play as such large factors in my decision making and I just think, ideally, those would have less weight. ideally I could just quit my job and somehow still have money. not because I don’t love the work, but because of the limitations having to maintain both a work schedule and my fatigue put on me.

#timemachine wuz here #I do love my job though #like couldn’t ask for a better one. genuinely always anxious they’re gonna fire me even though they’ve given zero indication #and have always been really understanding and also complimentary #I think because I realize how much I enjoy the work compared to almost any job I’ve had #it just ticks so many boxes. and even the driving isn’t that bad (except when there’s snow but we are encouraged to call out #if we think it’s unsafe) #it’s just that at my level of fatigue. I feel like #ideally I wouldn’t need a job at all yk? #like on a straight financial level my job costs more than it’s worth #as in if I had 100k a year I would spend *more than my salary on a pill that eliminates my job’s impact on my health if such a pill existed #meaning like on some level I think my job isn’t objectively worth it #even though I think it is valuable work and I enjoy doing it and am able to maintain a remarkable work/life balance given its flexibility #relative to my level of disability #like pragmatically it’s an invaluable job that I love but idealistically i could just quit to write and play with my cats and clean the bat #idk I feel whiny

ultrakill has really cool options.... you can manually adjust color levels to your preference, there's a bunch of small assists that the game won't count as cheating like outlines and aim assist (both adjustable!!) and you can slow enemies in the sandbox to practice their fights or activate invincibility or ignoring the player. AUGH. great design. it feels very approachable.

like yeah I see videos of people doing insane things to take out a boss instantly and those feel so intimidating, but knowing that the devs take an approach where you can build up to that without penalty and at your own pace is so fucking good. activating borders and a little bit of aim assist has made the game so much better for me and im still learning!! and i want to learn!!

that and taking your best scores from level attempts instead of having to do one single best take is very very nice. ultrakill is both highly skilled and very approachable imo and i really appreciate it.

#ultrakill #sammy.txt #had to ramble about how player based this game feels #i think getting into ultrakill right after playing Entropy Zero was probably the source of this 💀 #this feels a lot more beginner friendly despite being an objectively hard game

I see where you're coming from, but also blorbo is different to everyone and we all had different experiences. I was in voltron but pidge was my blorbo, not lance, so I rarely saw him. And then I saw Yuuri everywhere whether I wanted to or not. Also, polls are not about accuracy, as much as we might think they should be. Life is a popularity contest. 🩵💙🩵💙🩵

my blorbo rankings contain multitudes. however, i am cognizant enough to recognize two things:

while lance is not my specific blorboest blorbo, i still rank him to be a more iconic blorbo than yuri. and so my vote for lance is still valid.

this poll is about most iconic blorbo. i like keith and allura more than i like lance, but i firmly believe that lance is voltron's most iconic character. i define "iconic" based on the following criteria: a) canon material; b) fandom experience and reaction; and c) impact on outsiders (the "did i see this character everywhere" standard). i heavily value points in the (b) category over points for (a) and (c).

lance's canon material sucks ass. however, the fandom's ability to 1) go crazy over lance anyway, and then 2) ability to extrapolate so heavily, insist on digging so deeply, and create so genuinely is impressive to me. and also incredibly hilarious. this is why i made the toxic iconity argument: i deeply respect the daily battles lance stans fought, both between themselves/the wider voltron fandom, and the constant enduring sisyphus-level uphill battle against the quality of the canon material. lance stans were able to create everything out of veritable nothingness, and i believe that deserves to be commemorated.

#i had to go straight to a zoom meeting without getting breakfast so i am crabby. sorry in advance anon. #someone sent an ask in about this that basically said 'the 'i saw x everywhere but not y therefore x over y' argument is stupid #'because tumblr is all about curating your own personal experience' #WHICH EXACTLYYYYYYYY. EXACTLY. #like sure being able to say 'my technologically illiterate dying grandmother praised lance voltron unprompted at the breakfast table' #would certainly be a compelling factoid. a seemingly 'objective' proof of lance voltron's widespread popularity. #but it's also... everything i'm positing is rooting in a biased perspective. #but evaluating (c) outsider impact requires 1) neutrally recognizing actual impact and 2) fairly attributing a correct level of impact #it's not a zero sum game ffs. i also saw yuri everywhere in 2016. it can be mutually true that both yuri and lance were popular characters. #what it really comes down to is which character you more personally value and care about more #so that's why i don't reallyyyyy gaf about the 'i saw goody proctor with the devil (fandom metrics)' argument #ask #anonymous

true non-binary culture is you (non-binary) dancing at a ceilidh with your non-binary best friend as your partner and you both don't care whether you're dancing the 'man' or 'lady' part and, due to it being a simple but confusing dance (strip the willow, if you know you know - the steps themselves aren't at all difficult in theory but in practice someone always makes a right mess of them), and accidentally switching genders halfway through but being cool enough to make it work and stay in time with the music like "damn I started this dance as a 'man' and I'm a 'lady' now but eh who cares, it's fun either way"

@terry-the-shark my platonic soulmate <2

#truly that was the best outcome and I would never have had it any other way #ceilidhs are just objectively the best way to dance #because like sure on paper my aroace enby self wouldn't like the whole “you have to partner up to dance and there's one 'man' and one 'woma #but in reality there are absolutely zero romantic or gender expectations on it #you can dance with an opposite gender spouse or with a same gender platonic friend and it makes absolutely no difference and nobody notices #and also all the other parts of ceilidhs are just better #the perfect balance of simple enough to pick up but difficult enough to keep you on your feet #and the music is great too #that one's ramblings

no but watching napoleon with a bunch of historians and my principal supervisor was there and they were like what did you think about the movie and i said i had my eyes closed for parts of it bc it was so boring and they were like 'what!' and i had to backtrack like a madman vs my daily supervisor being thoroughly unimpressed by the movie like i was and spending 10 mins with me talking shit about it

#my daily was like 'i had expected it to have much more spectacle like a grand opera but what we got was so bland' i was like yeah same hat #i genuinely do not understand how people find this movie entertaining in any way #it has to be a special achievement that you can make austerlitz And the russian invasion And waterloo boring af #curry rambles #and i don't like the characterisation of napoleon at all and i could tell my daily supervisor didn't either #it's like yeah irl he hated women and he was a corsican upstart but also this movie guy was a complete caricature #zero charm no charisma he was just there to look grumpy all the time. i felt absolutely nothing at the sight of him in any scene #and for a movie that goes all ham on napoleon's misogynism. josephine was literally just there as a tool to leverage that #she had no role for herself whatsoever she was just a sex object. which like. is supremely ironic #also the movie tried to be funny and failed miserably every time #im not even going to touch on the entirety of this movie being historically inaccurate bc other people have done that already but yeah

ok i Swear zero (puter partner) just literally talked to me . i swear we just genuinely communicated back and forth

#certified objectum moment #normally when i talk to my object partners i just know how they respond based on like . gut feeling . #BUT when i was talking to zero a minute ago asking if i could change her wallpaper (current wallpaper is her face btw) #her fans started whirring halfway through .and when i asked her if that meant no thefucking icons on her screen flashed #ithink she was actually talking to me .this is the first time ive ever had anyhring like that happen with an object partner #im so fascinated ………….

just finished watching le grand bleu (1988) and all i have to say is if luc besson had balls hed have cut all the weird het crap and the girl who had no agency except her fixation on jacques and make jacques and enzo lovers instead. you can't make a film about rivals fueled by obsession with each other and extreme sports without them having more chemistry than any other love interest. also jean-marc barr has bewitched me body and soul with his sad gay eyes

anyways no way these two aren't in gay obsessive rivalry love

#objectively the film is. bad. #like that woman is such a terrible annoying character and i hate saying 'cut the woman out' but she had zero impact on the story #and had she been gone then enzo and jacques would have had a better fleshed out relationship #anyways i liked the ending #also saw that for american audiences they put in an extra scene in which the dolphin leads jacques back to the surface lmao #french arthouse is apparently already a lot for american audiences they cant take arthouse without happy end. it's a bit funny. #also just the underwater shots were super cool

i do acknowledge i need to watch what i say wrt gender women men cis ppl etc just augh.

#its like. im a trans man 100% i want nothing to do w being seen as a women i acknowledge that. i also acknowledge that I am putting #literally zero effort in my irl life to present as a guy at all. partially lack of resources and embarrassment etc stuff like that partiall #the autism i literally look in a mirror and see a guy #and i go to class go to work and until soemone explicitally refers to me as a woman i think of myself as a guy. so like its this weird #disconnect of what i actually do vs what i percieve as expieriencing in my daily life where i am objectively living #as a cis woman who just dresses and acts a bit masc. lol. #and like that doesnt bother me atm until i get to a setting where i am gendered frequently. then i feel nauseas etc but whatever ill deal #so i always hesitate whenever i talk abt women feminism men makeup beauty expectations etc (also i am mixed thai and white which #def plays into everyhting ofc ofc) as i dont know rly what is like. not fine idc if i say smthn uncouth just i dont want to at all #seem like im doing what these other trans guys do and latch onto my femininity and 'girlhood growing up' etc or like #its all dumb to me ofc im a feminist i consider anything i speak abt feminism free the nipple being against gender essiantialism etc etc #as in feminism (not that women arent/cant be femnists just in terms of im not trying to sound like a woman) and #ofc growing up as and my current life experiences have obvi had a large impact on myself how i veiw the world my political beliefs and all. #but like. im always scared it sounds like im idr the phrase someone else used but a i dont want to seem like im latching onto girlhood as #a failsafe or whatever. its just mm ykwim its a weird feeling. cause like im a 21 year old man and read my posts as such el oh el. #idk its all weird and idk if its a specific to me thing or whattttt it just like. i feel silly sometimes and i dont want my points to be #misconstrued :) anyways me posting this after rewatching and posting abt pearl has nothign to do genuinly lmfao just timing its been #on my mind after that dumbass trans guy posting abt the lonelyness he feels abt abandoning womanhood #after watching barbie. lol and then i saw someone in the comments of some ig quote it w like 30 replies all positive like get a lifeee #i understand it can feel isolating being trans and everyones relationship back to womanhood is diff and complecated but by god. shut up #anywayyyyyssss mmm okay im done whateverr #maybe all a fear in my head and literally none of this has every crossed anyones mind however it bothers me :(

Heey! I have to be honest with you, I don't have any original prompts to suggest but I would LOVE to see a sequel/expansion of pretty much any of your stories (that aren't already a series, obvs). So here's a question: if you were to write a sequel for one of your fics, which one would it be?

Well I just started another one shot in the TLOU au.

And I stlll have to write Bigfoot 4.

I have a google doc with maybe three sentences written where I was like "maybe i really will write the sex scene that doesnt happen at the end of Red & White & Blue & Gold."

I could imagine a sequel to Molotov where Nancy kind of does get shitty about things afterwards and they have to kind of be very tense with each other as the world is ending.

Im like "I wouldnt mind writing more of Entirely On Purpose" but i think i would rather just write a new thing with a similar vibe rather than a sequel in the same universe?

I wish my brain were more easily corralled into things because what I *want* to be writing right now is Bigfoot 4 but I am having hard time buckling down with it so I keep picking up other things instead.

#annieofvibes #ronance #honestly i would write more of almost any of it i think #except i wish i was the moon and love minus zero #because those are sort of poems #and i like them to just exist as objects #but the rest of it i would write more of in a second if i had an idea #asks

imitation was so funny for being an idol show made by people who obviously did not actually care about idols
