#i’m behind on asks sorry sorry

[defilerwyrm]

I saw a post of yours that someone on Scruff had to ask twice about your dick because of the great phalloplasty. Tbh I've never thought too much about phalloplasty. I wasn't aware of all the discouragement in the community. I've been on testosterone a short time and as of now I don't want a penis (who knows what future me wants), but I was intrigued and went to check out some post phallo pics on r/phallo and, yeah, dude! Those are good looking dicks! I was super happy for every guy who posted their post surgery pics. This is a long ask now and I don't know how to paragraph break, but I just wanted to let you know uh... I don't know just, postivie knowledge acquired about my community! My current situation makes it a little hard to attend particular queer events where I live so it's real nice to see people thriving. Ty!

The pleasure’s all mine! There’s so much disinformation about it bandied about and I’m happy to fight to stem the tide.

Commiserations about the living situation, too. I think I’m the only unmarried, out queer guy within an hour’s drive in any direction here. OTL I miss Austin so damn bad.

would you be able to give examples/explain more about how race only impacts gideon in the tlt-universe? not being facetious or condescending, genuinely asking. thank you!

Hi anon! If you mean my tags to this post, I wrote

#earth conception of race doesn't impact any character in the series except the canonically brown main antagonist

By which I mean my Worstie and main antagonist of the series, John Gaius (PhD).

I don’t think TLT as a series engages with race in any especially meaningful ways. It’s set in a post-Earth society with entirely different social norms, and there’s no concept of race and ethnicity within the population of the Nine Houses. Physical descriptions of the characters are scarce to say the least, and they rarely spell out the kind of features that suggest specific racial connotations, because the POV characters don’t seem to think it’s something worth remarking upon. iirc, it takes until halfway through HtN for the narrative to confirm that Harrow has brown skin.

[See also Tamsyn’s GtN characters description post. It quotes passages from the book, and you can see how minimal the descriptions are, and she repeats several times that her characters’ appearances are up to the readers’ interpretations. It just doesn’t seem to be a big concern of hers]

Then there’s John, who grew up in twenty-first-century New Zealand and IS explicitly Māori in a way that absolutely impacted his character arc. It's not A major theme of his Nona chapters, but it’s there if you read between the lines. The boarding school he went to, which IRL had a high percentage of low-income Māori students on scholarship. The depth of his climate anxiety, his uncompromising “Nobody left behind” stance before the cryo project was halted, and his fervent hatred of ‘the trillionaires’ afterwards... these are all informed to some extent by his background as an indigenous man imo, and so was the global reaction to his developing powers. The “We were going to put you fellas in jail, weren’t we?” the way his initial attempts at publications are all flat-out ignored by the scientific community and dismissed as culty gimmicky faith healing until he leans into it.

John being Māori is just one of the many pieces of his backstory, and far from the most impactful to what eventually went down, but my point remains that he is the ONLY character in TLT whose racial background 1) affects his story arc and 2) is relatable to the audience. Everyone else is ten thousand years removed from Earth, and I’m just not very interested in using racial identifiers when exploring these characters and their dynamics, because the characters themselves don’t care and neither does the narrative.

#on a more hashtag meta level #John is why I’m personally uneasy about any analysis of the series that tries to interpret TLT through racial allegory lenses #especially when it’s weaponised for discourse purposes #You can write meta about John’s war crimes without comparing him to white imperialism #Or you can go ahead and do that anyway but I highkey disagree that it’s a fitting metaphor or in any way deliberate on Tamsyn’s part #and I think the implications are unfortunate to say the least #That said I AM extremely interested in the ways John relates to the culture he left behind #and why he made the choices he did when it came the moment to reshape humanity’s cultural consciousness after the Resurrection #but that’s on a character level! #I don’t think we can apply twenty-first-century social / identity labels to the series as a whole #especially a series where the author says 'I imagine X character as Y but it doesn't raelly matter' #and it doesn't influence the canon directly in any way #SORRY THIS IS LONG! #anonymous #ask #ejg #tlt thoughts #elle tlt posting #tlt

watching the very sorry burger video n i find it so funny. bc half the extra clips are tommy demonstrating that he's progressed past the concept of embarrassment but then in one he walks up to a man on the street and says in his Nice Voice "hiya lovely, you alright, would you like some free sorry burger?" like the shit he keeps in videos and posts online nearly makes you forget that folks describe him as one of the most polite and sweet ppl theyve ever met off camera. like he does know how to act he just chooses to ignore it bc he likes making a fool of himself

He’s so real like ovulating between twisted cycle path and proper Brit like a metronome

Hi! Don’t judge me, I’m old and learning. But I saw your tdick artwork and thought, what… what am I looking at. And then I spent the next hour googling and reading about tdicks and the different types of top surgeries and phalloplasty and forearm scars and I wanted to thank you for sending me on a much needed educational journey. And thank you for creating lovely artwork. I love your Obikin pieces. The crossed lightsabers on the peach background is one of my favorites.

thank you so much for sending this ask. i can’t even begin to describe my joy at receiving it. i am doing whatever the opposite of judging you might be. i am radically accepting and adoring you, even.

knowing that my silly little drawings can inspire that sort of curiosity and bring someone to learn and discover new things, most especially through my t4t obikin fanart… my heart is fit to burst o|–< ♥️

i’m also so happy you enjoy my art. i love yours, too. the ficlet sustainable practices (and that au as a whole) is a favorite of mine :o)

#i’m sorry i’m so behind on commenting on your fics #and i hope it was ok to answer this ask publicly! #i will be creating more trans art and more trans obikin art 😌 #scout answers

[afraidparade]

how did Luka and Faust meet? I kinda am Fimiallar with the lore so I know Faust accidentally became tiny when he entered the human realm, but how did they first meet?

the good news is there’s a fic for that but the bad news is it’s old and i would redo it if i had time. but alas

#sorry i’m slow with responses rn because i’m behind on work #asks

that one fuckinf post about sebastian bach from a couple days ago broke me i think.

anyways been thinking about tying him up and edging him till he cries....

he’s so pretty it’s sickening. like he would be so flushed and breathless for you<3

like holding him down by sitting on his thighs while he whines for you so sweetly. wrists red from the ropes you used to tie him to your bedpost. his eyes would be squeeeezed tight as he tries to be good for you while you pump him, slowing down and speeding up over and over again until tears are streaming down his face.

he’d be letting out these little high pitched “ah! ah ah!” noises that drive you insane, making your stomach flutter and cunt clench around nothing. you’re gonna ride his face later, you think. watching his abs tighten and squeeze. breathing hard and fast with exertion. “p-plea- ohhh fuck.. please. trying so hard. wanna be good for you. i- hah- cant hold on for much longer.”

and oh he sounds so sweet. so different from his big, wild stage presence. all for you, and only for you. you smile to him. looking into those wide eyes and stopping once again, hearing him wail as he’s denied again. the tears fall harder now, he’s downright sobbing and maybe you took it too far tonight, but he hasn’t said his safe word, hasn’t tapped out. however, you know him and decide he’s done his best for tonight. you’ve worked him hard enough.

this time when you start moving your hand again you don’t stop when his abs clench, when he starts to whine and kick under you.

“you can do it, baby. c’mon, i want you to cum for me now.” at the command sebastian is shooting across his stomach, mouth wide open in a beautiful O shape, pretty lips bitten pink. you stroke him through it, other hand massaging his hip soothingly. when baz starts to curl away from you you let go of him, reaching up to untie him. he immediately comes up to meet you, pulling you down and shuddering at the feel of his skin on yours.

“you ready to get cleaned up, hon?” you coo, already working at the knots in his hair, cradling him to you.

“gimme a minute..”

you’ll do whatever he wants.

!! The following is a rant and is slightly fandom critical, it’s also over-exaggerated and half joking !!

!! I’m just expelling frustration it’s not serious I’m just being silly rn so beware all ye who enter here (and also read the tags) !!

the only character that is allowed to kill an egg without repercussions is q!badboyhalo because this fandom treats him like a glorified nanny and they only care about him when they’re yelling at him to take care of their fav egg. he ain’t that egg’s government-assigned parent and he isn’t responsible for constantly keeping every egg alive but i damn well know if an egg dies on his watch, or if an egg dies of neglect he’s gonna get blamed - especially if an egg dies of neglect since he’s the only islander that cares about that apparently lmao (mostly joking). And the worst part is he’ll probably blame himself too but it honest to god is not his problem.

Bro needs a vacation - an actual one where he’s not taking care of an average of 3 eggs daily lmfao

#sorry I’m salty and I’m mostly joking I’m not actually that pressed #and plus q!Bad likes to babysit so it is His Own Doing I’m sure others would help if he asked #the thing is he’s never going to ask he’s allergic to asking for help #also this is more about the fandom anyway #they always yell on twitter and IN HIS CHAT to take care of eggs #but if he misses one sign or doesnt read the eggs damn mind he’s an unfit parent like. okay. #^^^ that last tag is specifically about how much people nag on him about tallulah in particular #‘bad is always leaving her behind i only trust Phil’ SHUT THE FUCK UP SHE LITERALLY SEES BAD AS A FATHER FIGURE #tallulah would be dead several times over if it weren’t for him #so would chayanne and so would Leo and so would half the players if we’re being honest #anyway I would be so sad if he killed an egg but he’s earned it at this point tbf #q!badboyhalo #fandom critique #i like the qsmp fandom usually but when people chat hop to tell him to wake up chayanne i get… silly

really, I’m just…crying over North and South rn

John Thornton is such a wonderfully imperfect character. He’s bad tempered and prideful and jealous. He thinks and speaks harshly of those less fortunate than them, and is the worst sort of board-room capitalist, calmly and reasonably propounding cold explanations for why giving a starving striker food makes them worse off in the end.

And yet—and yet—

Throughout the whole novel his harsh words are belied by kindness after kindness. From convincing the owner to repaper the Hales’ new home, to his hand picked fruit baskets for Mrs. Hale, to the hour of tender companionship he gave to Mr. Hale in his grief—as the narrator puts it, he “had tenderness in his heart—‘a soft place,’ as Nicholas Higgins called it; but he had some pride in concealing it; he kept it very sacred and safe, and was jealous of every circumstance that tried to gain admission.”

It’s this kindness that wins Margaret over in the end, but where he won me over was the gorgeous sequence with Higgins in the second half of the novel. Such a perfect blend of his faults and virtues. In his bad temper and his pride, he brutally rejects Higgins, only to change his mind. But what really gets me is that it’s not finding out that Margaret told Higgins to ask him that convinces him! If anything, his pride tempts him to reverse yet again.

No—“it was the five hours of waiting that struck Mr. Thornton” that convinced him to consider Higgins more thoroughly—and his character, “because it was right.”

Margaret is instrumental in her own way, as an outsider breaking down the barriers between class and wealth and privilege, but in the end, it’s Higgins and Thornton themselves who learn to respect each other:

“Yo’ve called me impudent, and a liar, and mischief-maker, and yo’ might have said wi’ some truth, as I were now and then given to drink. An’ I ha’ called you a tyrant, an’ an oud bull-dog, and a hard, cruel master; that’s where it stands. But for th’ childer. Measter, do yo’ think we can e’er get on together?”

“Well!” said Mr. Thornton, half-laughing, “it was not my proposal that we should go together. But there’s one comfort, on your own showing. We neither of us can think much worse of the other than we do now.”

#this scene is my favorite #but let us not forget also the sheer COMEDY of timing here #margaret: I’m sorry I asked you to go to Mr. Thornton. I’m very disappointed in him. #mr Thornton: *is right behind her* #margaret: *surprised pikachu* #anyway #north and south #teaching things #english literature #elizabeth gaskell #my two biggest gripes with the bbc serial are the removal of this comedy #and also the travesty that is the train station

ok happy wip wednesday everyone xxx I had a burst of inspiration today and now my unnamed rjk friends with benefits fic is at 22k words which means I'm giving you an extra-long sneak peak :)

Please enjoy this little snippety snippet:

The breakdown that had been building all day finally came once he sat down in his driver’s seat and realized, promptly, that he didn’t feel capable of putting the car into gear. Beyond that, driving home felt like a herculean effort, and once he got there he wouldn’t be able to turn on the telly, because it was still set to Sky Sports from the night before, and all the pundits were going to be talking about were him. He couldn’t log on to his socials, either, because the fans were all going to be talking about him, and not in the good way, and besides that he didn’t want to look at his mobile because his dad might’ve called, or might not’ve called, and Jamie didn’t even know which one was worse one way or the other anymore. He was out now for the next three matches. That were bad enough as it was. Add in that Roy might not even talk to him now, might go back to that terrible time when he'd refused to coach Jamie directly and make Nate or Beard do it instead, and things were a rightful misery. Jamie didn’t have any idea how to make it up to him. Roy being so adamant about not mixing work with whatever else they got up to, even his best apology blowjob wasn’t likely to suffice. He wondered, too tired to feel all that desperate about it, if this was the end of all of that, too. Roy probably wouldn’t want to fuck him again after such a display, and Jamie could hardly blame him. He shouldn’t feel such grief over it, honestly. Jamie had known from the beginning the sex was temporary. Just a bit of fun. And now he’d gone and botched even that, which was probably always something that was bound to happen, given that it was him. But just as well, there it was. It had happened now, and Jamie didn’t feel resigned to it like he was supposed to, he felt…hollow. Hurt.  That was his own fucking fault, too.  It was too much to think about. More than anything, he wanted to shut off his brain for even an hour. As that weren’t an option, he settled for the next best thing—hitting the steering wheel so hard it made his hand throb and then bursting promptly into tears about it, right there in the Richmond car park.  //

He didn’t know how long he sat there pathetically crying, but eventually there was a gentle knock on the window. Keeley. Jamie blinked twice just to confirm it was really her and not a hallucination, like them people who got stuck in the desert and then imagined springs of water just because they were so desperate for it. She smiled at him kindly through the window, looking solid enough, and then tapped it again with her finger and gestured for him to roll it down.  “What are you still doing here?” he asked as soon as he’d done so, swiping at his face and trying not to be deeply embarrassed at her finding him in such a state. Usually Keeley disappeared with Rebecca immediately after their matches, off for cocktails and gossip or whatever it was the two of them got up to. He'd never expected her to show up. Now, Keeley stared at him with big, soft eyes that made Jamie want immediately to start crying again. She didn’t answer him immediately. “Oh babe,” she whispered instead, bringing a handkerchief up to his face and swiping lightly at this cheeks. “Care if I join you?” Jamie nodded, flipping the lock. Keeley walked around the boot and rematerialized in the passenger side, immediately pulling him towards her over the centre console and stroking through his hair before he could even process it was happening, like she was his guardian fairy, or whatever.  Ridiculously, Jamie’s brain chose then to remember the time she’d called his car pavlovian. Couldn’t be in here without wanting to jump his bones. Well Keels, he thought, letting out a clipped laugh that sounded more like a choke and made Keeley's grip in his hair tighten, look how far we’ve come. There was decidedly nothing sexy about him getting snot all over her Richmond windbreaker as he sobbed into her shoulder, sometimes letting out that hysterical, barked laugh. He couldn't stop. Keeley's hair was frizzy-soft today, the ends tickling his neck where her ponytail draped over him, and the edge of the console was pressing into his side unpleasantly, but he didn’t want to move, either. He didn’t want her to go away.  “I was worried about you when you didn’t answer my six messages, love,” Keeley said softly, pressing her lips against his hairline. 

#sorry for lack of context but I'll hint that this is the product of me daring to ask: what if the signal went WRONG #also Jamie is kind of at a lust conquers all kind of low again i can't lie to you guys #equating his whole worth to his footie performance? hmmm who could be the source behind THAT. #also this is probably the last snippet for a minute because I’m getting into Big Scenes now and I don’t want to spoil EVERYTHING #so maybe next snippet at 30-35k xxx #my writing #rjk friends with benefits #jamie tartt #royjamiekeeley #royjamie #jamiekeeley #ted lasso

always so funky to be reminded that your parents might love you but they don’t actually like you very much

#wasn’t i supposed to leave that feeling behind with puberty? #anyway mama decided i have no christmas wish #the sad little guy who can’t get nice things for themself also doesn’t get to ask for them now during the ‘ask for things’ time of the year #it’s not about christmas it’s not about material things it’s about looking me in the glassy eyes and asserting ‘you have no wish’ #when wishing is all i ever do you just never create a space safe enough for me to voice them #blah #not st #i’m so so sorry that whining is all i ever do anymore and i shouldn’t be so sad about this over and over again #i’m just. so small. tiny. and insignificant. i might not have been there all day and 99% of the conversations would have happened the same #i wanna stop feeling this way but i think in order to stop feeling this way i need to stop wanting to be loved and seen and listened to #by my mom. and i don’t think it’s entirely human or possible to stop wanting that. so oh well #i don’t know if i give them reason to like me. maybe i don’t. this might all be on me actually. #if she knew i’m crying about this she’d roll her eyes and say ‘you know how i am. sorry you misunderstood me’ #why do the blows keep coming? when’s it my turn to rest?

I'm so looking forward to iroh and zuko properly talking and seeing irohs reaction to zuko being gay.

Like we all know he doesn't agree with the fire nation rn but how will he react?

Will he not support him cause sokkas a guy? Will he not support him because it's SOKKA? Will he accept him? Will he reveal he's known for years zuko was gay?

Especially with everything that happened with zhao, regarding to what jee said to bato on their date. (Which is a very understandable perspective, zuko just got out of this very sexually traumatising situation and almost immediately starts a relationship (his first relationship) with sokka, but then again it is a very unique situation)

One thing I love about some atla fics is how they portray the FNs thoughts on queerness, cause on one hand they were one of the only country's (I think) that treated men and women the same but then again it's also the fucking fire nation.

And I also think zukos whole canon arc can be very comparative to queerness,

His dads an asshole and after speaking out against him he throws him out, and zuko try's for 3 years to regain his father's love and acceptance, and then faced with the opportunity of regaining it takes it immediately regardless of who or what he may hurt (iroh, his own morals etc) but once he makes it back home realises how fucked up everything is and eventually confronts his dad and openly tells him he doesn't agree with him then runs aways.

I also wonder if iroh secretly knows jee is queer it doesn't seem that likely to me but it also is iroh so who knows.

<3

I do think Iroh’s reaction will be a big moment for not only the story but for Zuko’s character development. Right now, Zuko’s technically still a prisoner, holding himself there by assuming Iroh will not understand or judge him when in reality he’ll never know what his uncle is thinking until they TALK ABOUT IT. (Which the FN royal family is just sooo good at healthy communication I don’t understand why this is so hard for them lol?!)

I do agree that the suddenness of the relationship combined with the intensity from both zuko and Sokka is very alarming for people looking at it from the outside (I mean we all totally get it cause we were there but others are like uhhhh hmmmm ok this might be concerning) so I get them gossiping and wondering if this is truly real or what the fucks going on with those boys.

I love Zukos canon arc because there’s just so much about zukos story that can be relatable no matter who you are and I think that’s why he is a fan favorite (it doesn’t explain why we torture him the way we do but ehhhh it’s fine haha)

Hmmmmmm does iroh know Jees gay? Depends on how saucy those music nights got ;)

#HAHAHA DO SEE THE JEEROH JOKE SOCKS?!?! I hope you see it through all your House reblogging nonsense haha #Jk you obsess over your new blorbos I support you! #I love this ask thank you #I also love that canon gave us so much to work with but left it loose enough we could do what we wanted #like I’ve read the fire nation written so many different ways in fics it’s insane #And I love all the unique thoughts! #I will continue to flesh out the FN little by little as we progress #An azula pov (or someone from her squad) will be part of every new chapter until the end #She’s a coming haha #I don’t know if iroh knows Jee is gay #Or that jee is like one date away from hooking up with bato haha #Or that zuko is already kind of hooking up with sokka (not really but I mean they’re getting prettttttttty snuggly haha) #But yeah idk I’m excited this next chapter it is A LOT #& we will be SUPER CLOSE to getting some answers to your questions lol #Thanks for this cool ask these are my favorite asks #Sorry if you’ve sent me an ask lately and I haven’t responded I’m getting better at that I promise #I will say though that I don’t respond to asks if I genuinely don’t know what to say or if I feel I might come off too mean or rude. #So yeah sorry anyone who’s ask I didn’t respond #(I also forget them in drafts and then feel weird about posting it after it’s been a month so I’m sorrrryyyyyy…) #Ok phew this was a lot of tags sorry #monsieugrgraves #Leaving it all behind #LIAB #ITF #ask
