Feeling sort of like trea turner is a feral rescue kitten the phillies fans have successfully started socializing to their team by sticking their hands in his enclosure and giving him treats after games on this night (yes I know he's an adult man getting paid millions but I cant help feeling things about the phillies)

EVIDENCE PRESENTED WITHOUT COMMENT June 25 vs NYM | August 5 vs KC | August 22 vs SF | August 28 vs LAA | March 19 CUB vs USA | August 22 vs SF

In all seriousness, though: the Narratives™... man. Career-low year coming off an MVP-worthy World Baseball Classic campaign. Rough start, getting rained with boos, a brief uptick in performance before going back into a brutal slump again, culminating in the nadir that was the Miami game colossal fuck up in the extra innings. The post-game interview, looking lost and broken and on the verge of tears, staying in the batting cages until midnight...

And then Philadelphia welcomed him home with a standing O and a donation drive, we’ve got your back, we know you’re trying, and Trea answered the very next game with a go-ahead home run, and has continued to be in fine form since. And the clubhouse’s unwavering suppport through it all... going to be a little weepy again about it:

Before Trea Turner heard the coordinated cheers and saw people standing for him, it was quiet. It was 27 days ago. His season had reached its lowest point, so he went to the batting cage. He swung until midnight, with few interruptions, because no one would tell him how to do this. Turner listened to advice from every corner of his professional and personal life. There is no handbook on how to escape a career-worst spiral. Nick Castellanos had showered and dressed that night at loanDepot Park in Miami. He headed for the exit when he realized Turner was still in the cage. “You’re one of the best players in the world, don’t forget it!” Castellanos yelled.

Trea Turner’s revival: Over 26 days, Phillies star has emphatically swung his season (Matt Gelb/The Athletic)

I hate. complicated friendships

#I love her but also. #I feel like such a bad friend for complaining about her but she’s just so. incredibly inconsiderate #like we planned to hang out ish at 1 pm today. suddenly she texts me like ‘hey I’m coming around 14:30 instead’ #she knows I’m autistic too she knows how important having a schedule is for me and she pulls sth like that?? #maybe it’s the fact that she’s an only child but ​she just expects the world and everyone else to accommodate for her #one time we were on a school trip and I was nauseous and I mentioned that to her and she just. made it all about herself??? #like I get she’s got emetophobia but turning the conversation into a fifteen-minute-long rant about if I vomited to please not do it #anywhere she could see bc if I did she would cry and feel absolutely terrible for the rest of the day and etc etc etc #like bestie IM the one who’s sick here??? #and like 50% of our conversations are just her venting at me (even more if you count the ones over text) and it’s. I don’t mind it when it’s #a normal amoun but she just treats me like an object for her to vent at and I Understand there’s stuff she can’t tell her therapist/coach bc #he knows her parents and she’s afraid he’ll tell on her if she talks about gender stuff (she’s not out) and I’m the closest trans friend she #has so I’m the person who understands it the best but it’s just. SO much #(but the moment I vent for once I just feel like she. doesn’t listen and that she thinks I’m just being too sensitive) #and that’s definitely my fault too bc idk how to communicate when she makes me uncomfortable with stuff like that #and she’s autistic too and doesn’t understand hints at all so I’d need to just State it and that feels so incredibly mean but. #there’s more instances I’m not typing out but just. ugh. I love her I really do and I feel like such a child for complaining about her on #tumblr dot com and I know I’m at fault too for not communicating when she makes me uncomfortable I’m not pretending I’m not to blame at all #but she’s self-centred and inconsiderate and. ugh #vent #elli rambles

COOL AS FUCK PAFL ARTIST MUTUAL ON TWITTER DREW TEMNOLYA FOR THE OTP PROMPT. MY INFLUENCE

#ik i didnt invent this ship #and i cant even pretend i did until i answer that damn temnolya manifesto ask #hm maybe i should stop making every ask a huge fucking event and just. answer it like a normal person #hmmmmmmmmm #nope actually i love being a fucking freak about things #schizobabble #ANYWAYS I LOVE POINTING AT THINGS AND SAYING HEY. I DREW THAT. AND NOW YOURE DRAWING IT! #ITS VERY FUN #also. temnolyas dot tumblr dot com my first saved url if you even CARE #it WAS just 'temnolya' but i didnt like how it sounds as a username. the s at the end adds something so important that i cant describe

[pointless-names]

please let volume 2 be a total character reset im begging. ik its probably contrary to the popular opinion but i really think it’d be to the benefit of the server for people to make new characters and start new storylines and ideas

#look i love the discduo storyline! i love horror stuff! #i was genuinely disappointed when the prison break storyline didn't eventuate into anything! #but it's very much run it's course and to a degree it a) does prevent either person from just logging on and causing shit #and b) as someone else rightly said cdream has just become too much of a villainous influence #both in terms of how his still being at large does prevent other arcs from getting more space to breathe #and how we've come to a point where it's going to be difficult to escalate further - i mean mans has blown up a nation several times #abused a child and tortured several people through killing and reviving them. like what more do you do at this point? #also in general a reset allows people to come in with a clean slate and make content with people they dont normally interact with #and it also allows for people who are enemies or directly opposed in vol 1 lore to come together or team up #i have heard that they might be writing vol 2 lore behind the scenes which does make me a little bit eh #i'd love to see a bit more organic lore where shit begins just because someone has the audacity to steal something or kidnap a pet #or because some people form a chaotic group that influences the server in a way #and it just escalates stupidly from there #basically season 0-1 lore lmao. causing trouble for trouble's sake and adding onto it #but hey as long as theyre having fun and the pressure to go further above and beyond is alleviated a bit then hey #it's been too long since people weren't traumatised is what i'm saying lmao it's time to let the people breathe #and to let new arcs have room to flourish #ah yes long tags discussion. the meta of pointless-names dot tumblr dot com

Midnight Snacks

Summery: Dogma had a long day at work and comes home to a surprise.

Warnings: none, pure fluff

Celebration You Prompt List

@eclec-tech Here you go!!!!!!! Thank you so so much for being my first ❤️First person to encourage me on my writing journey, first to invite me to Tumblr and first to request in my follower celebration!!! I really hope this one lives up to your hopes! Your idea was just so cute XD I hope I did it justice ;D

Dogma trudged his way through the streets back home.

It’d been a long day. 

Well, in truth, it’d been a long day for a long time. After the fall of the Republic with that fateful ‘Order 66’ (which he really didn’t know what that was all about) Dogma took the first opportunity to escape the prisons, which were in chaos. He’d struck out on high alert and extreme secrecy for who knows how long, living hand to mouth and always looking over his shoulder. Little by little, the paranoia dissipated and life turned into a day by day experience. Apparently the Empire was too busy to hunt him down (which was fine by him). They were too busy looking for other high value targets (which he had to admit, he didn’t know who or what they were. He didn’t get a whole lot of information in his cell on Coruscant). He’d rather be safe than sorry so a low profile he kept, but he also decided to live a little of a life. He’d get a job, make some money and live like a normal person doing…what normal people do. Whatever that was. 

Monotony of time went on; Dogma got steady work and a steady life. Rarely anything fell out of place, just like how he liked it. He liked as few disruptions as possible. He knew everything that was going to happen. Everything had a place and everything was in its place. Order was the order of the day...that was, until he met you. 

You were the craziest, funnest person on the planet (and he’s got to admit that’s what made him attracted to you. Like, how in the galaxy did you have such a carefree spirit? Live from moment to moment without anxiety for the future. Always ready for an adventure. Believe that everything would be ok, and it always was. Blew him away). 

Dogma always liked understanding everything, and nothing scared him more than when his heart started beating abnormally around you. The queasy feeling in his gut whenever you’d do something around him. The blush whenever you’d tease him. The irrevocable smile that’d show up on his lips whenever you laughed. Dogma didn’t understand any of it! 

Ok, he retracted his earlier statement; he realized he was never more scared than when he connected the dots: he was in love with you. 

Falling in love was easy. Staying in love was the hard part. 

His shifts at the factory were long and hard. 12 hours a day, zero breaks, four days a week. The bits in between were yours. How do you keep love alive on that? 

Turning left at the corner and sighing into the night, slightly chilled with the season and a hint of rain in the air, Dogma felt almost giddy. It’d been three months since he told you how he felt. Three months since you told him you felt the same way. Three months of bliss, and extreme exhaustion. Before his shifts or after, he’d head to your place to spend time with you. It was a solid thirty minutes (if not more) on a good day from his apartment to the factory adding so much extra time to his day he wondered every night coming home if he should quit. 

He was a reasonable man too though. Jobs were hard to come by. If he quit, he’d need a plan. And he couldn’t quit now, there were too many bills to take care of. Plus if he wanted a future with you… 

But, how long would this last on the scraps you gave each other? 

He sighed, almost defeatedly. 

The contradictory swirl of emotions had him climbing on top of the highest mountains of Aldaraan and tumbling far below into the depths of the oceans of Kamino. 

He decided to head straight home today. The lack of sleep was really playing a number on his mind. He’d commed you before with no answer on your end. He hoped that you’d understand. That you weren’t upset with him. It was always hard for him to tell. He wasn’t the best when it came to reading emotions and even then, since his…mistake on Umbara, a gaping hole of self doubt was left in its wake. 

Sighing for the up-teenth time, he finally turned onto his street.  Reached his door and pulled out his keys…to notice the light was on.

He was pretty sure he’d turned off all his lights when he left? Perhaps his habit just slipped. Doing things for so long he’d forget even doing them. 

Stepping his apartment, he dropped his stuff to the floor, and sighed again. Home at last.

“There you are!” 

Dogma screeched and nearly jumped out of his skin.

The sound of your bright, bubbly voice was the last thing he expected to hear. Looking at you with wide, surprised eyes, you laughed and ran into his arms, embracing him with a hum. 

“Now you shut that trap of yours and move it! I’ve got everything ready for you!” Forcibly lifting his jaw back into place, you pushed him further into his apartment. 

“What…?” 

Had he gone to your place by accident? No…those were his books, his carefully stored few belongings…

“When I got your comm, I could almost hear how tired you were. I figured since you’d been coming by me every day, I’d surprise you and throw you a welcome home party! Whatda think?!”

“The place is empty.”

“Exactly! You’re kind of party.”

Dogma chuckled. You weren’t wrong. 

“It’s great, thank you.”

“Oh I’m just getting started. First, it’s snacks in the kitchen, then it’s holovids, then a good night's rest for your off day tomorrow!” 

You waved your hand to the couch where you haphazardly threw pillows and blankets onto the floor. Pillows and blankets he knew were not his. 

“You brought your stuff over here?” Dogma knew you were particular about your comfort items. You liked them clean and in place in your own apartment. They never left their spots. 

“Yeah! I figured we could make a blanket fort! I know you don’t have many of your own yet.”

“I, uh, I—” 

“Oh stop babbling and let’s eat! I know you’re starving!”

Bopping behind him and placing your palms on his back, you practically pushed him all the way into the kitchen. 

Sitting on the table was a vast variety of his favorite snacks all assembled in a neat array. 

“Oh wow…” Dogma was at a loss for words. You did all of this for him?

He turned to see your sparkling face and smiled. 

“Thank you for everything. I don’t deserve…”

“No talking like that! You deserve the galaxy, my dear.”

Swallowing the lump in his throat, he drew you in for a hug. Against his chest, he felt your smile. Pressing a kiss to the top of your head, he broke away. 

“Should we move the snacks into the living room and get started on those holovids? Since you’re the absolute best, you get to pick.” Dogma picked up a platter of meats and cheese on it, moving to the small coffee table he had.

“But this is supposed to be your relaxation night…”

“Nah, whenever I’m with you I’m relaxed.” He paused with a look of realization crossing his face, along with a smile. “Well, mostly.”

You laughed.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Oh, nothing.”

Raising an eyebrow you shook your head. 

“Ok, then.”

“Isn’t that show you like on tonight?” he asked. “I can turn that on…”

“But…”

“If you like it, I like it.”

You giggled. “Ok, sounds like a plan.”

“Also, I get to make fun of it if I want to.”

“Dogma!”

You laughed and threw a pillow at him, which he expertly deflected with a laugh. 

Settling down and wrapping blankets over your heads, Dogma started the show. 

“Aw shoot, I forgot the dip in the fridge.” You scrunched up your face, eyes glued to the screen. The action was only beginning. A slight look of disappointment crossed your face before you stated “I’ll be right back.”

“No you stay, I’ll grab it.” 

With a wink, Dogma jumped to his feet and ran to the fridge.

Opening the door, Dogma was struck in the face.

“What the kriff?!”

Running a hand down his face and refocusing, he didn’t see the dip he was looking for, instead he noticed a little, red dragon sitting on the shelf…laughing? Was it laughing at him?

“Why….is there a dragon in my fridge?”

“It was hot!”

“What kind of an explanation is that?” Dogma said more to himself than you.

 “Well I mean if he was hot.” He rolled his eyes. “What the kriff is he doing in my fridge though? Where’d he come from?”

You came running into the kitchen. “Isn’t he the cutest thing!!! I found him today roaming the streets. He’s a fire dragon! I’m going to bring him home and raise him and we’ll be best buddies.”

Dogma shook his head. You were crazy. 

But he loved that about you. 

Yeah, this love would stay alive for a long time. Who knew, even maybe the rest of his life.

Hi I’m not sure if you’re aware put people are going around screenshotting your tumblr and sharing it on callout and adult yume hate tweets. I felt so weird messaging that’s why anon but I wanted to let you know about it, with the harassment and doxxing that has happened recently! I’m a fellow Jack yume and adore your art so this is sad to see.

This is one of the occurrences.

x(DOT)com/riddlehoe_/status/1729650574541406714?s=46&t=kTkdN9P14joudjwCx7-lhQ

So called ''normal people'' when they got nothing to do

Yeah I'm aware of the rabid anti-yume swarm in twitter..... I've seen plenty of moots getting hate campaigns and being doxxed to the point where I'm almost desensitized to it. What's the point of persecuting yumeshippers?? Especially the adult ones who quite literally keep the game alive and running for consuming and making content and buying merch? So they can feel entitled to the non-existent anime boy and feel morally superior for not having ''disGusTInG THOUGHTS'' about an imaginary little guy despite literally commiting a cybercrime and thinking they've just did a favor society?? Truly a priviledged chronically online teenager moment™

I was already expecting to get hate at some point but thankfully I've been focusing on my academic and social life lately so discourses online just seem more and more insignificant and irrelevant (as they always should be) going outside and touching grass is really healing and important to make you realize that there are greater irl problems to worry about than protecting fictional characters and harassing strangers on the internet, everybody should do that methinks 🧡

I might be a target of doxxing one day and honestly??:? I don't care. It's gonna be funny as hell. Cause it's probably some american teenager who thinks that doxxing an user in another country is gonna make the FBI arrest me for kissing my fictional blorbo in my head and that I'll be beaten up on the streets lol. Mini Karen, I assure you no one in south america cares about fictional character discourses to the point of making threats as much as people in the US do (and u guys somehow think that's normal behaviour) much LESS in my city, it's gonna do nothing 😭

Anyway, thanks for the heads up!!! I hope you thrive with your yume with Jack, he needs more love, don't let gatekeeper losers ruin your vibe 💗💗💗💗

#answered ask #if you find yourself getting worked up over petty online discourse ask yourself: #''will that problem still persist once I log off social media and step outside?'' and reflect on it #then you will realize that there are greater issues here #theres anti-lgbtq laws being approved and genocides going on rn and your biggest priority is doxxing someone for selfshipping?? #be fucking serious.......

[notyouraryang0dd3ss]

It’s the way she got her yt ass up and left Tumblr dot com the moment Black and other POC fans begged her to speak up on Black Lives Matter in 2016, then pretend the reason she got “cancelled” was Kim + Kanye. 🙄 Then she used her documentary to rewrite history. Like I was there and I lived through it. BIPOC people weren’t fucking with Taylor because she’s racist.

HELPPPPPPPPP I DIDNT KNOW SHE LEFT TUMBLR IN 2016 OVER BLM!!! This is actually hilarious 😭 She is so dramatic.

She never spoke out against Trump either in the 2016 elections and that’s why the neonazis and alt right propped her up as their aryan goddess LOL.

Her reputation album was SO BAD because she made it about the Kim/Kanye scandal and her victimhood. I love how she neglects to acknowledge she did approve like half of those lyrics.

I hd no idea she had a documentary until recently because I was unaware of her behavior post Kanye pre Midnights. Like I actually had no idea she dropped Reputation/Lover/Folkmore/Evermore somehow. I felt super blindsided by her fame when Midnights dropped. I think it’s because she was in a normal relationship with Joe Alwyn and he’s very lowkey.

I’m not going to subject myself to torture by watching that documentary but thank you for doing so so I don’t have to 😭 But I heard it was her being like “I came out as a #Liberal and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done” or some BS like that.

That’s what pisses me off about swifties, even swifties of color—they ALWAYS ignore her racism. ALWAYS! She’s awful. They’re always like “name one thing she’s done” like hoe where do I even begin…

SCHIZOPHRENIA & OTHER PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS: A GUIDE FOR WRITERS.

hey me again, local mental health therapist and writer on tumblr dot com, coming at you with yet another “how to write mental health” post! because my friend asked me about it today, we’re talking about SCHIZOPHRENIA AND OTHER PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS. psychotic disorders are easily the most misunderstood and misrepresented diagnoses i see in writing. if i see you misrepresenting psychotic disorders after this post, i'm coming for your tasty little fingers.

there’s been a lot of changes to the language around schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, which isn’t Super Important tbh but the point is this post is going to get a little long. bear with me.

*a quick note before we get started: prior to the dsm-5, schizophrenia was broken up into five "types," including paranoid schizophrenia, which is the language i most commonly see folks referring to schizophrenia as. the other "types" were disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated, and residual. for the purpose of this post, i'm going to be referring to dsm-5 terms. the language itself isn't all that important in my opinion, if that's how you understand schizophrenia that's cool and good.

so, let's start with talking about the symptoms seen across ALL psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia. depending on the disorder, one or all of these symptoms may be present:

DELUSIONS. delusions are "beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence." the most common types of delusions you will see are:

persecutory. the person believes they are going to be or are being harmed, harassed, and so forth by an individual, organization, or other group. these are the most common types of delusions.

referential. the person believes that certain gestures, comments, environmental cues, and so forth are directed at oneself. these are the second most common types of delusions.

grandiose. the person believes that they have exceptional abilities, wealth, or fame.

erotomanic. the person falsely believes someone is in love / interested in them.

nihilistic. the person falsely believes a major catastrophy is going to occur.

somatic. the person is obsessed with and/or very preoccupied with their health and organ function.

HALLUCINATIONS. these are "perception-like experiences that occur without an external stimulus. they are vivid and clear, with the full force and impact of normal perceptions, and not under voluntary control." auditory hallucinations are the most common type of hallucination ( hearing an external voice or noise that does not exist ) but folks can experience hallucinations within multiple or all of their senses ( e.g. the sensation and sight of insects crawling up their arms ).

hallucinations generally, but not always, go hand in hand with the delusions the person is experiencing. for example, i work in court ordered substance abuse treatment, so a lot of my clients with psychotic disorders have delusions about being gang stalked and have hallucinations of external voices telling them they are not safe, someone is following them, that person over there is looking at them funny, etc.

DISORGANIZED THINKING. this is mostly going to come across in the way the person speaks. the person may switch very rapidly between subjects or respond to a prompt with something that is wildly off topic. there are times where the person is so disorganized their speech is completely incomprehensible.

GROSSLY DISORGANIZED OR CATATONIC BEHAVIOR. the person may behave with childlike "silliness" or they may be incredibly agitated. they have disorganized habits that interfere with their personal life, like preoccupations with certain actions or hoarding behaviors. repeated movements, staring, mutism, or echoing speech are also examples of disorganized behavior.

catatonia refers to decreased reactivity to the environment. e.g. you can scream in the person's face or they can pour boiling water on their skin and there will be no reaction.

NEGATIVE SYMPTOMS. these are mostly present in folks with schizophrenia specifically but they are known to make appearances in other psychotic disorders. negative symptoms refer to a lack of something. here are the most common negative symptoms:

diminished emotional expression. this refers to "reductions in the expression of emotions in the face, eye contact, intonation of speech, and movements of the hand, head, and face that normally give an emotional emphasis to speech."

avolition. this refers to "a decrease in motivated self-initiated purposeful activities. the individual may sit for long periods of time and show little interest in participating in work or social activities."

alogia. this is a decreased use of speech. the person may speak very little or not at all.

anhedonia. this is the decreased ability to experience pleasure or to recollect pleasureful experiences. anhedonia is very common in many other mental health disorders, particularly any disorder that includes depressive episodes.

asociality. this is a lack of interest in social interactions. kinda goes hand in hand with avolition but the dsm-5 makes a point to specify it so here you go.

keeping these in mind, here are the schizophrenic spectrum and other psychotic disorders outlined by the dsm-5:

DELUSIONAL DISORDER. the person experiences DELUSIONS ONLY for one month or longer.

BRIEF PSYCHOTIC DISORDER. the person experiences ANY OF THE FIRST FOUR SYMPTOMS for at least one day and no longer than one month.

SCHIZOPHRENIFORM DISORDER. the person experiences TWO OR MORE OF THE FIVE SYMPTOMS, WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THEM BEING ONE OF THE FIRST THREE SYMPTOMS LISTED, for a significant time during a one month period but no longer than a 6 month period.

SCHIZOPHRENIA. the person experiences TWO OR MORE OF THE FIVE SYMPTOMS, WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THEM BEING ONE OF THE FIRST THREE SYMPTOMS LISTED, for a significant time during a one month period. the difference between schizophrenia and schizophreniform is the longevity of the presence of symptoms. if it was less than 6 months, schizophreniform. if it's longer than 6 months, schizophrenia.

SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER. this is going to be someone who doesn't quite meet the criteria for schizophrenia but experiences some symptoms of schizophrenia, AND doesn't meet the criteria for bipolar OR despressive disorders, but experiences some symptoms of bipolar or depressive disorders.

SUBSTANCE OR MEDICATION INDUCED PSYCHOSIS. THIS IS IMPORTANT. all the previously mentioned disorders are NOT TRIGGERED BY SUBSTANCE USE OR MEDICATIONS, though substance use and medications may exacerbate the symptoms of a psychotic disorder. if your character doesn't experience psychosis ( hallucinations and delusions ) when they're sober and have fully withdrawaled, they have substance or medication induced psychosis. if they do have psychosis after they're fully withdrawaled, they likely have a psychotic disorder.

PSYCHOTIC DISORDER DUE TO ANOTHER MEDICAL CONDITION. basically the person is experiencing psychosis due to a health issue. this is very common in folks with dementia.

all right, you still with me? good! here are some additional things to keep in mind:

SCHIZOPHRENIA AND PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS ARE OFTEN TRIGGERED BY STRESS AND/OR TRAUMA. eleanor longden has an excellent ted talk on how the stress of moving out, going to college, and all the expectations from family and academia triggered her schizophrenia. i highly recommend watching her video.

because this is often the case, consider WHY DID MY CHARACTER DEVELOP SCHIZOPHRENIA OR ANOTHER PSYCHOTIC DISORDER? what happened in their life to trigger this? did they experience severe trauma in their life, or did something seemingly mundane like moving out of their parents house or starting their first job after college stress them out?

PEOPLE WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA AND PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS ARE NOT INHERENTLY VIOLENT. in fact, people with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders are more likely to be the VICTIMS of violence. unless the person already has a history of violence prior to developing schizophrenia, they are very unlikely to suddenly develop violent tendencies. stay away from this trope. it's infuriating.

in that same vein, PEOPLE WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA AND PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS ARE NOT INHERENTLY BAD OR EVIL. see the above point. i'll bite your fingers off.

i already spoke about this briefly, but do keep in mind SCHIZOPHRENIA AND PSYCHOSIS ARE NOT NECESSARILY TRIGGERED BY SUBSTANCE, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION USE. all of the above absolutely CAN cause psychosis that may persist for a while, depending on how heavily the person was using substances, alcohol, or medications for, and all of the above can exacerbate symptoms, but it is not the sole reason people develop schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. i guess that's a common misconception. don't fall for it.

that's it for now! if you've made it through this post, you're probably entitled to kicking my ass once, free of charge. i may edit this later but in the meantime cheers, and happy writing.

Lol why would someone even say that. Like... idk im transmasc im personally mortified of the idea of getting pregnant but... its none of my business if another man wants to be pregnant why would there be any judgement there 😭😭😭 plus the post was very funny people need to stop projecting over a sillay little post. Have a good night king the haters dont get it

the thing is I totally understand trans guys being uncomfortable with the concept of (trans) men getting pregnant. In our society its a very gendered concept, it gets fetishised by weirdos online all the time and to a lot of (especially queer) afab people its strongly associated with control and abuse. I totally get it. That was me not so long ago but after a lot of research I became more comfortable with it because I want to have children one day. I shouldn't have to expose this part of myself as a defence against people calling me transphobic when I am literally trans and half the fight for trans people is "my body my choice"

what gets me is that the tumblr fallout community gets in this fucking argument allll the fucking time over whether the fallout universe should be "dark and gritty and ~realistic~" in regards to Everyone being transphobic Or if the wasteland should be some kind of trans haven without the binds of society. I personally lean on the latter and get a lot of comfort out of the idea that the Great Khans specifically are a bastion of trans joy and experience and to them women having dicks and men giving birth is just. normal.

the end goal for trans people should be to de-gender concepts like pregnancy and penis but we're never gonna fucking get anywhere if trans people project their dysphoria onto each other and start self-flagellating themselves whenever someone steps out of line or makes a stupid joke.

And yeah this is an overreaction to someone critising a stupid post of mine but I'm more mad at the wider culture of the fallout community (and tumblr) regarding this topic because like I said shit like this keeps happening. part of my job is about educating people about trans bodies and saying shit like "don't assume who can and can't get pregnant" and trying to help fellow trans people find comfort in a country that's actively trying to get them all murdered. To then log onto tumblr dot com and get called transphobic because I said I love headcanoning Papa as trans and him being able to deflect the Legion's misogyny because of his transness is like a slap to the face. you guys are meant to be the transgender love website what the fuck are you talking about?? Also Saying that I'm enabling transphobia by allowing people who arent trans men to reblog my post is also stupid and for the record most people in my notes right now are either trans people who are genuinely agreeing that Papa is trans or ghost fans who think I'm talking about their band (but are still trans and still agreeing).

sure maybe I should have put a trigger warning on the post or something because it might trigger someone's dyphoria, but just say that. Don't act like I'm the problem and that I'm too stupid to recognise internalised transphobia and calling me "too comfortable with joking about trans bodies" when 1. I wasn't joking About trans bodies and 2. ITS MY FUCKING BODY

My joke was about how Caesar cant handle Papa being trans. it was a joke about how society cant handle trans people who they can't clock. it was also a joke about how Papa comes from a society where transness is so normalised that he wrongfully assumes that its something everyone can do. At no point was I "nasty about trans bodies" like this person claims I was. In fact I think that pretending that I was says more about how they view trans bodies than it does about how I do, That I can mention trans pregnancy and they automatically assume I'm fetishing or being disrespectful.

anyway. that's a lot of shit. thanks for letting me ramble and tucking me into bed so sweetly <3

Hello pommunist dot Tumblr dot com, I just wanted to say thank you for your posts! I may not agree with all of your perspectives but they are a very good source of differing views to keep my own bias in check. I always see you making sure that discussion stays overall respectful and that is very swag of you 👍 I come from an environment where it's very common for workers to be exploited in the ways that are relevant rn (as far as I know, all of my friends have been). I also, as a person, have a very hard time being angry or taking a strong stance against anything (the more I disagree with someone's actions, the harder I subconsciously try to empathize with them) so your expressions of outrage help me remember that things like this are not normal and should be fought against.

It's very hard for me to condemn any of the things that quackity or others involved with q studios have done. To be clear, I completely support the admins' rights to proper treatment and pay; it's just that I know that if I was in the place of those higher-ups/quackity, I would have made the same or very similar mistakes, so it feels very fallacious to hold them to higher standards than I would hold myself. Is this a strange or inappropriate position to hold? I just do not know how to flex my brain in the right way to look at qstudios as a 'corporate entity' rather than a 'collection of individuals.' That plus the fact that in my opinion, all these problems with the server's management are much easier to make than people (at least in my experience) want to think, and have a good chance of happening with any project just because communication is so inherently infallible and human nature is complicated.

Again, I do really appreciate your point of view and perspective. I just have a hard time truly understanding the more "zero-tolerance" approach to—well, to anything, but in this case to abuse of workers' rights. Would you be willing to explain more of your perspective? I really truly do want to understand better.

I hope you are having a good day/night, and that the tone of this does not come off as anything other than genuine. Lots of love! ❤️❤️

Hey anon !! First do not worry your message came off as nothing but genuine, no problem at all 🫶

Also I don’t think it’s strange or inappropriate for you to have the position you described in your ask ! I actually relate a lot to you saying you can have a hard time being angry at something because same, the more I analyse someone’s actions the more I tend to see their pov and empathise.

Also about holding yourself to a different standard if you were in their shoes, the question is : would you, in a similar scenario, have made decisions that would have put you in the same situation they are now ? Personally, I know that I don’t have the money, ressources or abilities to manage such a big project, so by realising it, I wouldn’t have gone through with it.

For the others things you brought up I’m gonna link you to a previous ask I answered, as well as to the very pertinent addition by @blockgamepirate to it, which I hope can bring some elements of answers to your questions.

And personally, there are many reasons I feel so strongly about the topic of workers rights. Them being that I just care about politics and have an interest in them, but also the current political climate of my own country and my personal background makes it that I kinda HAD to strongly make my mind on this topic. In this particular case it angers me even more because the admins were mostly young people, who had a great love and admiration for the project, and for the passion of young fans be taken advantage of is just heartbreaking.

I hope this was at least somewhat helpful, sending love back ♥️
