Can I also say how touching it is that Stede said he believed Ed would he happier without him, who, even in his fantasies, could only picture Ed wanting him as a picture of masculinity with a beard and no hesitation to kill. Stede still, deep down, doesn't understand why Ed would ever want him as he is.

But who did Ed see coming down to rescue him? It wasn't a manly recreation of Stede with a beard, masculine style and a killing spirit, it was a merman. Someone bright, colourful, by all accounts a rather feminine perception of Stede.

That was who rescued Ed. It wasn't who Stede thought he needed to be, it was someone soft, and bright, and graceful, and expressive. Someone feminine, someone queer.

I just think that's beautiful.

Thinking about the Harkers reading Lord of the Rings in their 70s together

#Look they would love it ok #Look in your heart you know this to be true #I might be an atheist but the catharsis of reading a book and realizing the author is describing a feeling that could have been directly #Taken out of your own heart is the closest to divinity I’ve ever gotten #Something something the bonds of humans and experiences crossing time and space #Dracula #dracula daily #d speaks #lord of the rings

i, claudius is literally just about cyclical tragedy. vying for the power that will inevitably destroy you; nobody gets what they want and also deserve. tiberius and claudius, the reluctant emperors--"wasn't worth it, was it? i could have told you that." julia to livilla to messalina, trying to exercise agency in the only ways they could. drusus and germanicus, both marked for death. caligula to nero, too young and too hubristic. trust no one. starting with livia and ending with agripinilla, although i think there's something to be said about how livia is the only character who dies a natural death and agripinilla is killed by her own son. fates repeated over and over, unavoidable. from the very beginning we--and claudius--know how it's going to end. laughing because the story gets told regardless.

I'm still kind of reeling over Genloss. That was so good and the ending had me reminisceing about everything I loved about the old internet horror stuff I grew up on like Marble Hornets and Everyman Hybrid. Major nestolgia vibes that final episode.

Everything overall was so good and really fun though! Definitely got me inspired to work on my projects now too lol

hey guys!! i have a poll idea but need input!!

i want to make a poll asking what name is your preferred headcanon for “unnamed freak” from s4. i’ve got a couple i’ve seen pretty regularly in fics and such but i know i’m missing a few common ones so if you could drop versions of his name that you’ve seen in the replies (or my inbox or the tags whatever!!!) that would be SO helpful!!!!

thanks :-)

I want my last tumblr post for the year to be a kind of recap of my year in media. Sort of.

Noone asked but here are my top 3 books and top 3 mangas of 2023.

1. Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao.

This one honestly rewired my brain chemistry in the best ways possible because on God, bloodthirsty, traumatized, polyamourous bisexual revolutionaries is something that can be so personal to me. I can talk from now till tomorrow but I doubt I'll ever be able to fully explain how much I love this book so I won't bother, just know it's amazing. The sequel Heavenly Tyrant will be released in 2024 and y'all know I will be sat. Heavily recommend, read it if you haven't already or I will chew through your walls and devour your immortal soul :>

2. NOS4A2 by Joe Hill.

AHHHSHDHHNSN THIS BOOK...Had me practically enthralled actually, I didn't even notice the length because of how badly I was hooked, lined and sinkered. I loved how human the characters felt, they felt real so I felt a lot for them in return, also the "you get cool powers for the low low price of your own mindscape being stripped away" was fun. There is so much in here I loved, especially the running theme of love in itself, a flawed family that only keeps standing because it's filled with nothing but love, the love between Vic and Lou and Vic herself as a character too. Its filled with an array of amazing characters (except Charlie Manx and the Gasmask man, fuck them) and it flows so satisfyingly. So yeah I also recommend.

3. Confessions by Kanae Minato

Now I love a good revenge plot, especially when it chooses not to go down either the "I've done this so now what more do I have to live for" pipeline or even worse for me the "if I go through with this I become just as bad as you" one. Confessions really scratched that itch for me and it's presented in such a simplistic yet really well written manner, watching the web that slowly being spun and revealed as the plot progresses and when it finally comes together at the end and catches the fly, ohhh it's so satisfying. Also even tho the perpetrators in question were teenagers Yuko Moriguchi said fuck them kids and fuck you too and I think she's an icon for that. Also heavily recommend.

Honourable mention to The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky because it came really close to being in my top 3. It took me 8 months to finish and I'm pretty sure I didn't get most of it but I enjoyed it. There's so much in it to be enjoyed no matter what angle you're reading it from. Its not an easy read but honestly if you think you're up for it, go for it.

My worst book of the year however was The Stand by Stephen King. And for a book titled the Stand I really couldn't stand it, which kinda sucked because I'm a Stephen King fan but my God did I dislike a lot about the Stand. I won't say much but maybe I'm not white or Heterosexual enough to enjoy it idk and honestly if someone tells me it's their favourite SK book I'm going to assume they're either white, painfully straight or a liar.

Now for Manga.

1. Jigokuraku by Yuji Kaku.

Honestly this should come as a surprise to no-one. If you know me, you know I have a terrible case of Jigokuraku brain, like that shit is chronic, literally my fave shounen right next to Haikyuu and JoJo. But yeah I was Jgkrk obsessed yesterday, am Jgkrk obsessed today and I will be Jgkrk obsessed tomorrow.

2. Rosen Blood by Kachiru Ishizue.

Honestly it was everything I thought Diabolik Lovers would be (don't get me wrong I like DiaL but in a very messy, that's the kinda shit you watch from a distance reality TV way). I would lay down my life for Rosen Blood and all its Characters, especially Gilbert (beloved). It also made me want to read more Shoujo so we'll see how that goes in 2024.

3. MADK by Ryo Suzuri.

Honestly I have nothing to say about this except I'm sorry, the voices in my head won with this one. If you know, you know.

Honourable mention to Boys Run the Riot by Gaku Keito tho. Gotta be one of my favourite genders.

#i didn't consume a lot of media this year #mostly because i kept bouncing from one high stress situation to another #hopefully 2024 won't be like that #hopefully #anyways heres me wishing everyone a happy new year #i hope 2024 treats us all well #D Speaks #books #manga

Genuinely though I don't think that Ed understands whatsoever that most people don't like Stede.

I don't think he understands that the life Stede came from rejected him at every turn, and that most people genuinely don't see him the way Ed does.

I think that if Ed were confronted for the first time with a fact about Stede's past, about how lonely he was, how disliked he was, I think Ed's first reaction would be genuine disbelief that no one in Stede'slife has ever seen him the way Ed sees him.

rewatching st s4 and just. lucas. love of my life he was trying so hard to do the right thing…. he’s still just the protector guy…… him and steve just…. two bisexual self sacrificing jock peas in a pod……

#d speaks #st #stranger things #stranger things s4 #lucas sinclair #steve harrington #they are really. just my two babies!!!! #ep 2 and 3 w lucas knowingly and willingly putting himself into a very dangerous situation and joining unstable aggressive teens #on their literal manhunt. so he can keep an eye on them and divert their attention away from his friends however possible #when they visit band practice and jeff is like ‘lucas???’ the look lucas gives him of ‘DUDE PLEASE IM TRYING TO CONTAIN THIS SITUATION’ #all the little white lies he keeps telling. the way andy gets in his face right away from the first morning #the way jason is like fr man this isn’t your fight we will still consider you a friend if you bounce now and lucas seems to genuinely think #that eddie DID kill chrissy or was wrapped up in it. and he still said no i’ll stay and protect eddie because eddie is a part of his circle #and he knows that where eddie goes dustin and mike follow and so he actively chooses to keep himself in a dangerous risky ass situation #just so that he can have intel and work to distract them from his people #also. i know it’s a separate thing but still dying over the little erica and jason at the sinclair door scene #fucking hysterical

Help a Muslim butch get his top surgery

Hey y’all I’m Danny and I’m trying to raise money to get top surgery.

I work 60+ hours a week but my insurance won’t pay for my surgery in advance, so I have to pay out of pocket up front with a slim possibility they’ll reimburse me later down the line.

Any amount helps. I’m truly doing my best to make this work because I don’t know how I’ll like, mentally be able to go on without getting this surgery.

110/$3500

UPDATE: I am rescheduling my top surgery as I am having to get a service dog for my mental health issues. I will update this with the new date when I can. It will likely be January or February of 2024.
