#but thats a different conversation

[twiyoriz]

i have a headcanon that sometimes yor has twilight tie up her hair before going out, whether it be before work at city hall or before a family ooting.

the first time she brought it up was with a teasing lilt, but twilight took it so seriously. she immediately apologized when she realized that twilight was really going to attempt her signature hairstyle, so one thing led to another and suddenly she was standing in front of twilight as his fingers ran through her long black hair and analyzed however the hell she did this every morning. anya, who was eating her breakfast, watched intently with a smirk on her face, listening to her parents’ racing thoughts with their match pink blush dusting their cheeks and the tips of their ears. it took him a while (longer than twilight wants to admit), but as he slid her headband to secure her hair he exhaled a breath he didn't even know he was holding.

as time went on, it became a frequent occurrence. it was less of a sheepish request and became more of a routine for the two of them. sometimes twilight would even offer to do her hair as she got ready for work. he enjoyed the silk of her hair through his fingers anyway.

franky would inquire as to why twilight always had a hair tie on his wrist, and one of yor's headbands in his right coat pocket, where he would subsequently swoon when twilight revealed it was for yor and anya. "just in case," twilight would stammer out as franky continues to mercilessly tease him.

sometimes the opposite would happen. twilight would be reading peacefully, occasionally pushing his hair back away from his eyes, which catches yor's attention. "loid?" she says quietly, fiddling with a hair tie in her hands while taking a seat next to him. "do you want me to tie your hair up? i noticed you were pushing your bangs back so..." yor trails off sheepishly as twilight gives her an affectionate gaze. "i mean, if you don't want to it's okay! i'm sorry for overstepping, even if i AM supposed to be your wife-"

"i would love for you to tie my hair up, yor."

and so she does with an affirmative hum, gently bunching up his bangs and skillfully knotting the elastic through his blonde strands, before moving back and marveling at how adorable her husband is.

twilight doesn't care that he, the best spy of westalis, has his hair tied up like a palm tree on a sunny beach. twilight doesn't care that he's playing the role of loid forger to the fullest extent. twilight doesn't care about the warm feeling in his chest blooming like a rose bud, its thorns engulfing his thoughts and reminding him that this is all fake, a facade, a small stepping point in operation strix.

but it certainly doesn't hurt to pretend it's all real.

A coworker last week, while going over my plans for a demo with a group of old-guard developers who likely would respond negatively to our "no code" environment: Ok, you're going to get pushback, but expect that going in and don't let them scare you. It may take a couple sessions for them to start seeing the value.

Me, starting the meeting: Ok, show of hands, who likes coding?

The room:

Me: Great. Show of hands, who likes coding data pipelines.

The room:

Me: Fair enough. In that case, I'll start by showing you a quick wizard for raw ingestion and some reusable mappings and task flow options so you never have to code a data pipeline again and save tons of time in the process. Sound good?

The room:

Once they're used to the interface and impressed with the time it's going to save them:

Me: So do you want to see some of the other low-code capabilities for modeling and design?

The room:

My coworker, hearing about the super productive session from the specialist this week: Wtf.

😂😂😂😂

in all of her faults as a mother i have to give kristina props for putting wille in therapy and also trying to help him calm down when he's upset in ep1

does she succeed? nah but she does tell him to take a few deep breaths to collect himself before he continues bc he was too worked up to get his point across

#unfortunately he decided he did NOT want to take any deep breaths and threatened to abdicate instead which led to a whole host of issues #but thats a different conversation #young royals #yr s2 spoilers #young royals season 2 spoilers #my yr thoughts #i like queue and that is not fake

i feel like monosexuality and allosexuality fall into the same camp of "useless arbitrary terms that don't actually grant you privilege". Gay people don't get meaningful privilege from only being attracted to one gender because they're constantly told "why can't you just try the other gender and be bi?" And don't even get me started on allosexuality and how only one narrow group (cis het able bodied white men) only get privilege for doing sexuality "right". Bi people and ace people have their own issues but positioning gay people as their oppressors is not it

oh for sure. i can understand the desire for words that mean "not bisexual" or "not asexual" in conversations about sexuality, but the instant you start treating those words as actual identities, the conversation itself gets separated from reality. because those aren't labels people are choosing for themselves, they're labels that are being put on by people who presume that the person they're labeling fits said label. my biggest pet peeve for people who use terms like "monosexual" or "allosexual" comes when they criticize people engaging in discourse for "dividing the community". like, you're literally trying to draw lines between "us" and "everyone else" with no regard for why those lines are being drawn in the first place. that sounds like dividing the community to me!

#it's the same reason why i hate the words 'transandrophobia' or 'transmisandry' #its not bc i don't think trans men/mascs should have a word for their issues. it's bc it implies trans men are oppressed by trans women. #which... can't and doesn't happen #but thats a different conversation #lgbt discourse #monosexual #allosexual

I also think true Alpha was just because Jeff Davis needed to make his most specialist boy even more most specialist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#but THATS a different conversation

i dont think gacha life is inherently cringe

#something about it being largely kids using it to express themselves creatively and people labeling it as cringe...hm. #though whats cringe is people who exploit children and the algorithm for views and clout #but thats a different conversation #op #chatter #and also just because kids use it doesnt mean older people cant

[artisanalpeanutbutter]

Rantish identity stuff below

Weird being nonbinary while never internally identifying as anything other than nonbinary bc I've technically been socially transitioning bc everyone sees me as a woman (though some see me as a woman Freak) and I have to explain otherwise, esp because I would say I was a woman before bc i didn't want to make my life complicated. So like, I know I'm technically trans but it feels wrong to call myself trans because I'm still the same? I just live that way in public as well now. I'm not cis, but I don't feel right calling myself trans either because I feel the same as I always have, I'm just open about it now. I know a lot of people are that way and consider themselves trans (and they are trans), but idk if I would consider MYSELF trans even though I'm not cis? It feels like stepping on other people's turf idk. Maybe it's because people perceive me as a woman? Even though that makes me feel extremely dysphoric. Like, part of my social anxiety has always come from that. It used to not be as much of a problem (bc I was seen more often as Freak rather than woman or woman Freak) but idk. Who knows.

#idk i feel like ive gotten less androgynous and i dont really like that #or maybe people see me less androgynously bc of all the shit running through the media #and idk #idk man #also im peeved at how mych afab and amab are used in conversation abt these topics nowadays. it's so reductive #but thats a different conversation

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking. #nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference #anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose. #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat loop #isat siffrin #isat bonnie #isat nille #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #doodlebyte #---------------------------------------------------------------------- #anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!) #which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around) #and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but #They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt) #and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good #(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit #distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally #stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine) #the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly. #but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief) #as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur #BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule #which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation #ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

only when i am in love do I find all the sayings, all the sonnets, all the tales of love very beautiful. from a distance, the pain and pining is so terrifying that often i'm scared of love. why do we embed only pain and yearning in love? is love only defined by soul-altering emotions?

#hopeless romantic #hopelessly in love #longing #fall in love #i fall in love 35 times a day #but it is scary #also cute #but thats a different conversation #but thats a post for another day #but thats besides the point #but thats a whole other thing #okay bye #im done #text post #text tag #dark acadamia aesthetic #shitpost #light academia #ghost posts #sending love

quinn letting her own selfish thoughts getting in the way of hers and rachel's relationship is just so ??? to me like i understand her fears but the way that she didn't even tried to be there for rachel when her father was literally DYING is too much for me

#im on ch 40 #so i may be talking shit #but whatever #im mad at her #and at post college quinn #but thats a different conversation #this is about #shafd #btw #lmaooo #should have asked for directions #talkin abt fics! #glee

Wild and revolutionary concept: maybe don't treat converts like trash just because they're converts? And also don't ask someone if they're a convert in a public setting?

#having lunch before shabbat and had to remind my friend not to do this to people #like i get it might be a hard concept for some born jews to understand but one thing jumblr has taught me #is that its a sensitive and private topic #you dont just.bring it up. especially not in front of people? #because i have seen other born jews get all Different when they find out someone is a convert #and its crazy disrespectful #side note you can disagree w a convert about their opinions on certain things #and still not go after them for being a convert #thats a dif topic though #anyway unless the convert is openly inviting that convo #dont fucking bring it up???? #jumblr #judaism #jewish #jewish conversion #like it prob feels like how i do when someone treats me dif for being baal teshuva #its just a shitty thing to do in general #dont bring it up? #if you have to ask they prob havent told you for a reason #yes even if its from a movement you don't think is vaid #like what do you expect them to go back to their rabbi and be like 'is like to return this conversion and exchange it for orthodoxy' #thats not how it works they already converted to that movement what is the point of you trying to make them feel bad about it #like what do you change or affect by doing that #same w being baal teshuva #you want me to get in a time machine and tell my parents to move to a jewish community? #whats the point of saying anything just shut up

The crew make it back to England and a few months later, the admiralty host a social function and crozier is only going so he can check in with the men, see how they're recovering. And while he's there, he spots James. But as he approaches, he overhears him talking about this "beautiful and elegant creature" he has back home

And crozier thinks "ah, alas. He is straight. But I'm happy he found someone..."

Meanwhile James won't stop telling people about his cat. Also he's carrying the BIGGEST torch for his co-captain, who is tragically uninterested in men. Whacky shenanigans ensue

#the terror #james has to hunt crozier down to talk to him #and the whole conversation is just #crozier: i heard about youre new friend #james: who? oh lady marie! #crozier: of course shes a lady... #james: (assuming hes making fun of the name) well it might be silly but shes brought a lot of joy to my little apartment #crozier: thats good. truly. im glad. #james: (playful flirting) id love for you to come by and meet her sometime. perhaps we can make a day of it... #and they are just completely on different pages #good lord... #fitzier #lol but what if he accepts the offer for a chance to see james again #and when he gets there and sees a damn cat #hes just baffled #crozier: so this... #james: yes! my little lady 🩷🩷🩷 #shes a fluffy tortoiseshell #crozier: so youre not...enganged ? #james: what? no! #james practically has to shake Crozier and say 'I LIKE MEN'

Look Volo and zinnia are pretty similar but she would also hate his ass. I just know it

#volo #pokemon #zinnia #Pokemon masters #doodle #zinnia is a little hater to me #a lot of this was made as i was thinking how if zinnia was a man the fandom #would love her like they do volo... but thats for a different conversation

[sandinmybed]

can i be fr for a minute?? sending abuse to people online for holding different views than you is not activism and in fact actively hurts your cause. most people are not extreme in their viewpoints, you can give them a new perspective if you're willing to spend some time explaining shit. if someone is saying something you disagree with and you rush in there to condescend to them and call them disgusting and subhuman and dont even TRY to explain calmly why their views are harmful, they're going to shut you out instantly and double down on their views.

most people are simply genuinely ignorant to the issues they're talking about - they just pick their views up from the news and the world around them and express opinions because that's what every person does. if you run in there and tell them they're scum for it, what then? if someone does that to you, are you going to think "maybe i should do some research" or are you going to think "this person is an asshole, im blocking them." a lot of you think you're activists and then refuse to do any kind of actual WORK to support your cause.

#this is not about the isr*el thing even tho thats obviously a huge issue rn #its just a pattern ive observed online #im not saying you have to be kind to people who oppress you dont twist my words #but if youre trying to support any cause and you think calling people names is going to help #youre a fucking idiot lol #people call themelves activists and pro-X cause because they called their opposition dirty c*nts online #how the hell is that meant to help anyone? theyre just going to retreat into their propaganda chambers because you proved what the leaders #of those spaces have been telling them #you can obvs block people if you dont want to deal w them but thats a neutral action. sending abuse harms ur cause. #text #like educating ignorant people is hard work! yeah! its also the entire fucking point of activisim #and if you think its too much effort then just stop pretending you give a shit tbh #like my parents managed to change our neighbour's very xenophobic stance on migrants with a calm conversation #some people will listen and some wont and shes not exactly going out to protests for migrants rights but shes not hostile anymore #and a lot of yall think that isnt good enough but let me tell you it IS good because these things take time! #unlearning things is MUCH harder than learning them in the first place and a lot of people grew up in environments that taught them #very discriminatory and conservative views and its actually not their fault. and its hard to educate yourself differently on something you #have no idea is not true. where do you start w that?

[dishsaop]

one of the hardest things you can do, but one of the most rewarding, is understanding the fact that if one of your friends is annoyed with or mad at you, they will tell you. and if they are annoyed with or mad at you and they dont tell you, that burden is on them, not on you. catastrophizing in your head about how your harmless interactions might be enraging or disgusting a friend is damaging to you both. if someone respects you as a friend and as a person, they will tell you if they need a change. otherwise, its not your problem, baby. you are both individuals capable of communicating your needs, and neither of you (i am assuming) are telepaths.

#well if youre telepaths that introduces a whole new thing but i wont speak over telepath experiences #anyway sliding this post between silly ones dont look at me #this was inspired by a conversation w an old high school friend #m text #additional tags edit: im referring to like. regular interactions. if youre out here like actually stabbing people or calling them slurs and #being a genuine shithead that makes people feel unsafe thats different #i mean like if youre loud or infodumping or weird or just concerned youre annoying and off... let them tell you instead of #assuming it
