Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.
"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."
translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"
It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!
every time i'm confronted with good omens fic writers using 'like adam/like eve' as a substitute for 'penis/vagina' i'm punched in the face with the reminder that this fandom is mentally 12 years old and hasn't managed to escape the grasp of their religious upbringing.
the fact i cant be a fat whore in bg3 is soooo upsetting!! matter of fact the whole party would be better fat!! gale karlach halsin fuck it let me see shadowheart with bigger hip dips. these characters consume nothing but full cuts of marinated hog, soup, elixirs with caloric density unfathomable to natural man, and 80% abv spirits by the bottle as their sole hydration. they should be the bulkiest beings put to visual medium. wheres the beef larian

why do you often reblog polls a couple of weeks after they've closed and very rarely while they're still active so that others can vote in them? do you have a perpetual queue on a 2-week delay, or do you yourself just love reblogging things you didn't vote in because they'd already finished? (this is not a criticism just a genuine question from a follower who has been perplexed by how many closed polls you reblog and how few active ones. I fear it sounds pass agg but it's not meant to I just can't words very well) (although some of them I would have liked to vote in so if it is a queue it could be fun to boost polls to the top of it sometimes)
Lol I wondered if it was enough of a pattern that anyone would actually notice! Long-ass queue + I reflexively queue all posts unless I'm actively reminding myself to reblog it instead. Or if I've hit Queue Post Limit. I frequently catch myself queueing a poll and go "well shit. I'm not going through my entire queue just to post that instead. bye." I'll try to remember not to do that but it's basically just muscle memory. (And thanks for the disclaimer, I probably would've read it as a little paggro otherwise.)
ETA: also I should warn you that right now I'm going through SUPER old likes, from around the time we GOT polls, so there might be some old-ass polls in there that I feel are worth reblogging.
I don't understand why anyone would be upset about that finale because it really is just. I mean. It's genuinely so good for the characters. I haven't watched the dsmp in ages and I probably won't again but I watched the wilbur stream and it was a perfect bookend to his story.
Yeah, sure, the Utah stuff is cursed, but from an emotional standpoint? This was always how it was going to end.
I have some notes I wrote down back in 2021, in a discord server with some friends, where I spoke about how the end of the dsmp would inevitably be melancholic. Where I talked about how the story, as it stands, was made for a happy ending. The story was always going to end on a hopeful note, and for c!Wilbur in particular, I've always felt that to be true.
This ending? This? This is exactly how it needed to go.
Tommy and Wilbur have always been tied together. They are each other's right hand man. We see this time and time again. They are brothers; not by blood, but by the time and love and work they have put into forging their bond. Wilbur relies on Tommy, and Tommy relies on Wilbur.
So of course Wilbur cannot leave without Tommy being there to see him off. And of course Wilbur cannot bear to think that Tommy might hate him, so he can never apologize, because-- what if he doesn't accept? Sure, he probably would, but how can Wilbur take that risk? But Tommy has to be there, when he leaves. It has to be just him and Tommy. He has to say goodbye in person.
And of course Tommy is worried about Wilbur. With everything he's been through, everything both of them have been through, Tommy would be nothing but terrified for what his brother is about to do. Wilbur's always been cagey, and he has a history of trying to smooth over anything going wrong with big, grand statements. So of course, when Wilbur starts talking about going away and leaving and goodbyes, Tommy calls him the fuck out. He has to protect his brother- he can't let his brother die, not again, so- he does everything he can to stop it.
This is where we get to the Utah bit. And I- I love the Utah bit. I think the Utah bit is perfect. I think, in retrospect, it suits him. His focus on the falsity of Las Nevadas's desert, because it reminds him of his home. His denial of America, in L'Manburg-- because he's left, and he never wants to go back, because he was going through his rebellious years. The fact that it means, for him to go home, he has to go a long ways away.
I love that he's from Utah. And I fucking love that it means his last direct statement to Tommy was "Don't trust those Americans!" in a jovial tone.
Because even though this is a goodbye. He doesn't want his brother to think badly of him. So he leaves with an inside joke, a tease, brings a teary-eyed laugh out of Tommy before he goes home. And this isn't a goodbye forever, but it is a goodbye for now.
And so the last Tommy sees of Wilbur is a smile, and a laugh, and joy. And the last Wilbur sees of Tommy is the same. And neither of them wants to leave the other, but this is how it has to be. Wilbur has to go home to continue his healing process, and Tommy cannot come with him if he is to continue his own.
They are separated. And you can hear the grief in Tommy's cry, at the end there. You can hear how heartbroken he is. But that heartbreak is softened, and that was on purpose, because Wilbur cannot break his little brother's heart. Not again. Never again.
They are brothers.
And though they may have to part, now, they will always be brothers.

Sorry but I’m curious 😂 Why does Pan call Claude a ‘Puppy’
((Okay BEFORE I hand this over to the ginger menace himself. Never. E v e r apologise for asking for more info or just stupid stories about these dumpster children. Those are my favourite things to answer. Anyway. Go on, Penis.))
"Oooooh, I'm SO excited to explain this m'gonna
IGNORE that!
Well.
It's actually kinda a FUNNY story."
"It actually all started with this anime
I took to watching on the Isle...
Dun really REMEMBER the name of it BUT
what I do know is that the main character
reminded me ALOT of someone I knew....
Y'see NOT many people REALISE that Puppy
has the best nose out of ALL of us!
Like even people who walk quietly or fly
can't sneak up on him because he can SMELL
who's walking up behind him.
Also really helpful for TRACKING, which he does
do sometimes & YES he does the sniffing thing.
He also GROWLS & snarls a LOT, specially when
he's frustrated.
He has the same like claw fingernails as that character
& Puppy whacks Victor the same way the guy from
the anime whacks the lil fox guy!
& the guy from the anime is like...
Part DOG, he's got lil doggy ears on his head.
But if you have ever seen Claude Frollo tilt his
head & widen his eyes, you understand EXACTLY why
I call him “Puppy”.
Also he really, REALLY hates it when I call him
Frollito so PUPPY is the SAFER option."
