#do not misconstrue my words

[thedevilandhisbride]

i love being a man

i love being man adjacent

i love being a man who is connected to girlhood

i love being seen as a man

i love the idea of having a full beard

i love the idea of having a flat chest

i love the idea of having a deep voice

i love the idea of being a father

i love the idea of being a husband

i love the idea of going on testosterone

i love the fact that one day i will get all those things

i love the fact that even though i am not where i want to be in my transition, i am still a man

i am a man

and i love being one

i love loving men and i love being a man who loves men

there is nothing wrong with loving being a man or loving loving men

im hopelessly full of joy and pride and love for men and for my own male identity everytime i go online and see myself addressed as such, or every time my sister calls me her brother, or everytime my mom mentions im going to be an uncle, or whenever my brother brings me into doing inherently men related tasks in my household

and nothing will stop me from spreading that joy

manhood and masculinity are experiences that can be, should be, and are full of joy and love and positivity

i love being a man, and i love loving men

dont derail this post or reblog it changing what i said. this post is about men. nothing you say or do will change the fact that this post is about being a man and loving men!

#tdahbposting #this post does not mean i dislike women. i love women. i have a girlfriend who i would die for and i still identify with womanhood. #do not misconstrue my words #masculinity #masculine #men #men positivity #boy positivity #positivity #positivity for men #misandry #transandrophobia #i love men #i love you men #i love being a man #transmasc #transmasculine #trans men #trans man #transmisandry #transgender

Honestly, it makes me sad that some fans of the Jedi have such a strong hatred for Ahsoka because Filoni uses her as a conduit for all of his room-temp takes™️ about the Jedi. On one level I think Ahsoka is sort of the perfect character to explore the relationship O66 survivors have with their memories of the Order and I don't think taking her words as objective fact of the universe is an interesting or worthwhile interaction with them. The oft-worshipped "Lucas Canon" of the Jedi stands whether or not Ahsoka is written as "critical" of the Jedi. It's a closed circuit, and the other stuff does not hold the same weight.

On the other level I think hating a fictional character—which is to say, nothing more than words on a page spoken by an actor and animated/costumed by artists—to the point of posting long-winded takedowns of them for anything is just plain childish and not really worth anyone's time? It takes a lot of sustained anger to write 1,500 word rants about some guy that doesn't exist. IMO it's "get a new hobby" levels of sustained anger.

Ahsoka is interesting to me as both a solemn devotee of the teachings of her childhood and as a bitter, traumatized survivor trying to reconcile her need to pass on these teachings with the narrative she made for herself to "explain" what is ultimately a senseless genocide. If you don't agree, cool! Take a deep breath and go play with the figurines of the characters you do like. It's a free country, y'all.

#sw meta #pro jedi #ahsoka tano #ahsoka tv #before someone misconstrues my words i do not like filoni's cold takes about the jedi either #i just choose to let it flow through me and back out into the world #i'm protecting my peace y'all should protect yours and not get into fights on the internet

Ya know with the increasing popularity of “swim with orcas” tours, it’s only a matter of time before a human is killed by a wild orca…

haha oh no im definitely not at all disturbed by the prevalence of leftists on all platforms who are loudly 'anti-genocide' when it comes to the palestinian cause (and a couple others at best :3c) yet the only time ukraine [ʊkrɐˈjinɐ] leaves their mouths is in critique, in stark comparison to the former or in complaint about their (american) government sending aid.

at first what i saw often was pointing out the differences in western media framing [ukraine vs palestine], and that's fair (until the words and the agenda of western journalists are used to paint, as a whole, ukrainians who have been actively going through genocide as some kind of white supremacists hogging the blanket of global attention when they kinda just want to live and have the rights to their own land, culture, names and families)

but no one is even caring to do that anymore, today bitches just invent metaphorical scenarios and people to get mad at and to throw an entire ethnos away because wahhhh i decided that you care for X but not for Y!!!.... all while doing the exact thing they are condemning. the exact absolute same and they don't even hide it but do lack the self-awareness to realise

#'ohh i saw white people still go out to rally for ukraine' yeah have you considered they are ukrainian or have ukrainian loved ones or uh #simply have humanity in their heart to care about several humanitarian tragedies in the world? #this is both aimed at a post i saw on here and at SEVERAL. MANY. twitterians with a thousand palestine flags all over their accounts spewing #misinformation hate and sometimes straight up russian propaganda tactics because they're this fucking insane #i don't care about sounding nice anymore by the way. i know my heart lies in the right place and i have the capacity to care about more than #one ongoing genocide of indigenous peoples #removed incidents of bad actors having a ukrainian flag on their backpack doing hateful shit does not somehow okay dismissing a genocide you #so vehemently claim to oppose. they are not ukrainians who are getting bombed on the daily for years #i saw a very lovely 🍉🕊️ lady denying holodomor and using literal russian talking points while patting herself on the back for being such #a good person. i saw one of the most popular leftie accs on twitter be actively anti-ukraine and using slurs. luckily we mass reported them #and they're gone #i'm no longer being careful with my words because i don't want to be misconstrued. i know my values go beyond twitter and tumblr #if i catch you in any way undermining the genocide of ukrainians or only bringing it up to point fingers and bitch i am blocking you forever #don't care how far this post might go cuz of ppls questionable use of the search function. and i didn't care to censor anything #like. masks off. just block me if this is your rhetoric

idk dude like i do not care abt the pkmn company losing money becos they're being "ripped off" by palworld

(1. palworld will not outsell pkmn and its silly to think that 2. i want more competition for monster-collecting games becos the monopoly pkmn has has given us some unfinished, buggy messes)

its less abt pkmn designs being "ripped off" and more abt how unoriginal and slapped together the pals are. like it's honestly kinda a shame that the monsters in this new monster-collecting game don't really have their own identity. like when I look i them I dont think about palworld, I dont think of them as pals, I think of pokemon. Thats uh. not great imo?

its extra sucks becos I see the pals that are original and theyre good!! I usually really like those designs!! There was something there but the game relies too much on the familiarity of pokemon's designs and i just feel indifferent at best and kinda 😕gyeh at worst

im also comparing it to cassette beasts, another (very good) monster collecting game that appeals to me as a pokemon fan, but absolutely stands on its own and exists completely separate from pokemon because of its unique designs and unique takes on some pokemon formula things.

Like sorry to compare but: the beasts in cassette beasts are clearly identifiable and there's a design philosophy going on there. And although I can easily pick out a pal from a pokemon, I'm not thinking of the pal, im thinking of the pokemon parts its made from. honestly its just not great design imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#its nice to hear people are enjoying it regardless! but i feel like a lot of artists are being misconstrued w/ our main issues w/ the game #its less abt them copying pokemon and more abt them not being unique/having their own identity #and i know im gonna sound a bit immature here but! #im particularly frustrated becos this game got so much more attention than cassette beasts #(which as u might be able to guess i think is a much better monster-hunting game than palworld) #like at the end of the day i know what it is #people do not want a new monster hunting game. they want a new pokemon game #and thats fine! i dont blame them! pokemon is fun #but it makes me a bit sad yknow? #scout.txt #EDIT: anytime i wrote monster hunting in the post of tags replace that with monster collecting #lmao sorry my friend has been talking abt monster hunter a lot and its rewired my brain a bit and my words got jumbled!!!! #sorrryyy lmao

[doodlboy]

wanted to make sure i told you again! it is literally basic fandom etiquette not to use the main tags for vent/anti/hate about a character! people use those tags because they LIKE solomon, not because they want to see some idiot calling him "basically a rapist" for something >>NOT EVEN ASMODEUS<< interpreted that way. fix your fucking tags! go fuck yourself!

Hi there, If your initial reaction to seeing someone talk about negative [yet still canon] things related to your favorite character is to come into that person's ask box and tell them to go fuck themselves, you need to get up, turn of your computer, and go outside for a while.

Whatever post you're mad about was made months ago, using tags that are meant to be used when discussing a character regardless of how much the op likes said character.

Solomon is fine, I don't really care for him, but what I'm most likely referring to in the post you're talking about is the hypocrisy of the obey me fandom when it comes to Solomon's behavior.

When Solomon attempted to give Lucifer a drink that was enchanted to make him want a pact with Solomon, it was fairly well agreed across the fandom that what Solomon did was pretty fucked up and not okay. However, when talking about how Solomon got his pact with Asmodeus by taking advantage of the fact he was heartbroken and drunk to tie him into a forever binding pact against his will, somehow people are making excuses as to why it was necessary and why what Solomon did is fine actually and not a problem at all. This is where my issue with Solomon and his fans lies, with the hypocrisy. I couldn't give 2 shits whether he's your favorite character or not, good for you if he is! But what we're NOT going to do is scream bloody murder when Solomon attempts to do shady shit to Lucifer, but overly demonize Asmodeus, say he deserved it, say his charming power is non consensual regardless of the fact nowhere in canon says he has ever used it to have non consensual sex and has only used it to get himself and his family out of danger, or say that he is a beast that needs to be controlled when we don't talk that way about the other 6 brothers, when Solomon succeeds in taking advantage of his inebriated state to tie them together so he can use Asmodeus' power for his own gain.

And one more thing we aren't going to do; call me an idiot and accuse me of calling your blorbo a rapist when *you* cannot tell the difference between someone saying "a character was taken advantage of while under the influence" and "this character is a rapist." Solomon did not sexually assault anyone, however the framing of that scene is open to interpretation and to my interpretation, it was heavy handed in showing Solomon doing something that is extremely not okay and laughing it off like it was completely fine. Because to him, it IS fine to treat demons like that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my interpretation of the scene, and I will continue to use characters' main tags when talking about them because the tags are used for discussion.

#sorry 2 my folks following me 4 the really long post #i would have said this all in the tags normally but I'm not abt to be misconstrued about this topic a third time #anon i dont know who you are but honestly if you're getting this pissed off about a post and not just- choosing to ignore it #maybe you need to take a step back and see how shitty and out of pocket the thing you just did was #you essentially came into my house and yelled at me about shit I said when my door was closed in the privacy of my house [in this case blog] #if you didnt like the post just move on! theres literally nothing to be gained from you coming into a stranger's asks and yelling @ them #over a fictional man no less #He's fake! he isn't a real person! so his actions don't actually matter! #what does matter and what speaks volumes is the fact that the fandom can't decide if its okay for Solomon to do shady shit 2 the demon bros #y'all like to pick and choose who its okay for him to be shady 2 and its extremely not ok. got me? #if you lot are gonna be upset abt what he did to Lucifer then you're going to be upser abt what he did to Asmo. period. #elliot rambles #anon asks #thank you for the ask #anon hate #r word #sa mention #tw sa mention #rape mention #obey me

[fabaceous]

anyway if you wanted a perfect example of my post where i talked about how the group assigns certain roles to certain girls against their will and then punishes them for the role that was assigned to them that they never asked for look no further than misty telling lottie that this was all her doing when in fact it was quite literally all their doing but they decided it was easier to say it was lottie’s doing so they made her into a prophet in order to be the conduit and the scapegoat for all their own shame that they didnt want to deal with

#i did not read over this at all just typed and hit post so its not my best work #but i feel very vindicated and thank you yj for giving such a clear example #i do think its maybe .01% lottie's doing bc she did cultivate a certain vibe lol.. #but she obviously literally had nothing to do with them hunting nat and killing javi #other than saying something that got wildly misconstrued #btw since this is not my best work if someone else wants to put this in more articulate words please feel free #its public domain lol #yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers

I could write an essay (literally) on why I think dark magic being inherently evil would be boring and uncreative and how I think that coming to a conclusion of "dark magic should never be done, ever, and should cease to happen" would be a huge waste of an opportunity to expand on the themes of healing from history by adjusting misunderstandings and moving forward with forgiveness and the openness to learn that things taught from a young age are not necessarily correct -- but do I really have the spoons for that?

#the answer is no #also I'm entirely drained of energy and burnt out and have had the most stressful few weeks- #so this post may be worded horribly for the point I'd like to make #but I literally can't tell and don't have the mental energy to try to think about all the ways my words could be misconstrued #I just have SO many thoughts on why acceptance of some level of dark magic feels like it is the right move #based on how things in the rest of the show are #and it's interesting that 'you can get so corrupted you look less human' is considered a bad thing #when the majority of the cast isn't human ??? #but right now I just want to lay in a dark room and do absolutely nothing so I can't really elaborate #my posts #pls canon don't let me down we have two seasons left to see #dark magic

when they release the weeb 2.0 they should make it with reading comprehension

Funny how Ren and Nora can be a slowburn but the moment a queer relationships is developed in the exact same manner, you fuckos begin attacking the queer fans of the show and treating them like they're idiots over a relationship you know is a certain thing.

Those are some very broad generalizations, bud! Any chance you can put some evidence on the table of every single rwde poster attacking queer fans of the show? Please my family is starving ;~;

#rwde #if yall dont want me to flood the tag w this back and forth lmk and ill stop tagging rwde #i might stop doing it anyway to not clog my own tag lol #anyway never said that queer relationships cant be slow burn. misconstruing my words does not a good argument make #the problem is that even noras attraction was made obvious from the start yknow. w her words while blake and yangs is still wink wink #renora got to talk abt their feelings albeit in a roundabout way and a kiss #blake and yang havent talked abt anything personal since beacon outside of maybe that one convo abt keeping secrets #right before they spill classified secrets to someone just proven to be living a double life (politician and vigilante) #wait that makes robyn sound like batman or smth. that couldve been so cool omg #also hilarious #thanks for asking #anon hours

rambling again sorry but also my blog. listen to my mentally ill rants. ofc no one anticipated an existence like this but like. i think of my younger self and maybe i was just ignorant but i really genuinely had the brightest view of the world. and i dont wanna lose that, i still have it, but im always scared of losing that. sometimes i do, on the worst days, but never permanently. i just dont think anyone anticipated how truly dire shit got. or maybe im just ignorant, probably the latter. the issues were always there, i just notice it as an adult now. thats a good thing anyway. tho i hope im still as childish when im in my 30s. i act stupid for a reason. keeps u sane. im not saying everything is a joke because its not, theres an obvious line for that. i guess it just makes shit easier to be silly when you can afford to be silly, at least for me, cuz if i dont i will 100 lose my mind. sometimes you cant tho and thats okay. idk what im saying, i guess shit is just. Man. hard to articulate. whimsy i guess. where its appropriate, i need to do it more. i dont wanna lose my will to keep going, so ill make one myself. and i like funny things, so thats what makes it easier. so i need to be more silly where it matters.

#fool's monologue #dont misconstrue my words as saying that id rather live in ignorance at the state of everything at all once #pointing my finger at you.i accept that the world has always needed work and will continue to need work #i just realize the only reason why i havent thrown the towel in is cuz i like silly things in life and i want shit to change so everyone ca #be silly too and feel like shit is worth living for and even have a chance to do that while beating the fuck out of the shit that spits on #what humanity we have on us #whimsy is a privilege i can afford 2 have

discourse rambling lol i doubt im going to be dropping many hot takes here given my experiences w receiving anon hate for the most tamest of criticisms on this site but im using the tag "disk horse" for anyone who wants to blacklist

i understand that shipping isn’t that serious™ but given hetalia as a source material, i think we need to be more aware about how we frame relationships between characters.

problematic/dark history is unfortunately emblematic to almost all significant bilateral relationships, so that’s something you personally get to reconcile with to an extent — seeing as there’s no workaround with what hetalia fundamentally is.

but can we not use current day pro-imperialism narratives and propaganda as shipping material lol

#disk horse #not art #im sure this is applicable to other pairings but since im east asian im thinking about easian pairings #particularly regarding the us and japan/south korea/taiwan/even hk though thats less of something i see #some of yall are too uncritical of the history behind their allyship and unironically spew pro us presence in the region narratives #its uncomfortable when us presence has caused so much pain not just from a cn perspective but to fellow easians in jp and sk #it's an inherently unequal relationship which ykw. not even an anti. i don't care about shipping discourse #i care about the power of narratives and how they're reproduced in even the most inane and trivial way #btw im not defending proshippers in my third paragraph oh my god please do not misconstrue my words this is NOT shipping discourse #im talking about people from a culture who may ship problematic pairings involving their country of culture. people are not homogenous.
