Me, who has been in love with Taiwanese BLs since birth, watching y'all finally losing your minds over Taiwanese BLs thanks to Kiseki: Dear to Me and Unknown.

HIStory 3: Trapped and We Best Love were getting lonely waiting for y'all to show back up to the party.

#taiwanese bls #ain't nobody does it better for me #HIStory 4: Close to Me will always be my number one favorite of all time #but I appreciate ALL Taiwan has to offer me #they all feed my soul #but it's lonely over here sometimes watching y'all be happy about all the other countries #it's not a competition #but I just want y'all to enjoy this feast with me

i hate this stupid hierarchy within queer identities. this stupid belief that being gay is superior and bi people are only valid if they're dating someone of the same gender. the way people meassure this by pain and suffering like if you're trans and don't experience dysphoria you're automatically worse than trans people who hate the way they look, or like aroace people are lesser because they can "pass" as straight.

this stupid fucking idea that you can be more queer or not queer enough is so harmful to the community. it needs to stop

#yes this post was sparked by fandom discourse but i feel so strongly about it nonetheless #queer people are queer and that's it #it's not a competition #for god's sake! #once again had to unfollow someone i thought was cool #but turned out to be aphobic ✌🏻 #angel talks #personal

not to bring twitter discourse to tumblr but WHEN will people realise it doesn't have to be og vs ls you can simply have a preference without it meaning something deeper

#like og stans on twitter annoy the fuck out of me #always talking about ls and how og is better #sure you prefer your show #i prefer mine and thats.... it? #there's nothing else to it #it's not a competition #it is simply an opinion #so stop trying to cause drama about it thinking it's hilarious #it's Not #sorry sorry #rambles #discourse

my partner said something so smart last night,

we were talking about how much we loved Interstellar and how there are apparently people (including his best buddy, who immediately rec'd other "better" media over Interstellar when it was mentioned, rather than engaging with the conversation) who like, hate that the story is about love, and shit on Anne Hathaway's speech about how love might be a quantifiable force that transcends time and space, or whatever, and he said,

"I think whoever enjoyed the movie wins."

and I've just been thinking about that all day

#you can think whatever you want #engage or don't #but if you enjoyed it you win #not to say if you didn't like it you lose #but just #the point of a movie is to enjoy it #so if you enjoyed it you win! #all that being said. it's okay to not like things #it's not a competition #I just wish people would go into media with a heart ready to be taken for a nice ride #rather than sitting there already hostile to whatever idea it's trying to explore #like maybe have a little trust in the storyteller? maybe take off the 'Your Movie Sucks' glasses? #WHY IS EVERYONE AFRAID OF LOVE???? #interstellar #grace your face

Went to the Temtem tag to see if anyone was talking about them removing seasonal events to see that people were using Temtem to dunk on Palworld

Firstly, lame, both games are good

Secondly...really??? You're using the argument that "at least Temtem designs were good" when I remember people dunking on those designs too!?

Sorry, it's the internet, we remember when you said that the friend-shaped Tems "are ugly and uninspired"

#temtem #palworld #both games are good and can be enjoyed concurrently #it's not a competition #unless we're dunking on pokemon we're not out here babying the billion-dollar franchise

Did u copy sealsdaily or did they copy u

I made this blog in May 2019 and have been posting daily since then, it seems sealsdaily oldest post is from August 2023.

So I think I have a few years on them there.

Take that however you like

#ask #maybe they did copy me #but who knows tbh #people can have the same ideas separately #it's not a competition #we can both love seals together #but yeah I was here first :P

I am now blessed by the glorious image of Iono's chat, upon the Raidon's being in frame, going "What the fuck are these weird Cyclizar?" Meanwhile Iono, also probably has questions. And Scarnoa and Nemona have zero answers aside from their names and preference for sandwiches because the one that does know is Arven and he doesn't want to say anything because it involves his parents and they don't want to press him. X

fucking dying like, in Scarnoa's case, you also have Nemona having showed up with the Miraidon earlier, like, chat seeing Koraidon like "HEY MA, IT'S A WEIRD FUCKING CYCLIZAR"

"what the fuck there's ANOTHER one?"

fuckin pepe silva memes online (either made by Iono's fans, or Iono herself) discussing EVERYTHING like, "WHAT ARE THESE"

"LA CRIATURA" followed by

Nemona still has zero answers and stays out of it, since Arven already deals with enough shit as is, before Scarnoa came and took Koraidon off his hands.

This is why Iono's subscriber and follower count keeps going up, because her viewers get to see her go feral in real time, as she tries to come up with answers of her own, while the Bellibolt cam is in the corner like some streamers' pet cams

Meanwhile Raihan out here going, "you think you got weird stuff going on, check this out"

and it's just some weird selfie with an Ultra Beast one of his challengers/Champion showed up with.

"I WANT TO BELIEVE"

Iono: BULLSHIT, WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT COME FROM

Chat: lmao demonitized.

Iono: NOT ANYMORE, SUCKERS!! *shows the Porygon in a Pokemon shaming pic* tech support got the little bastard!!

in a world where twitch/youtube in the POkemon world is far better than our real world equivalent, where the demonitized jokes are just actual jokes that happen every so often because the site's Porygon makes mistakes...although, sometimes they're cheeky little bastards! And sometimes, you got Rotom just getting involved, one way or another.

just wild shit man lmaooo, the Pokemon world is hilarious. :V

I was happy to see Mary Austin kept the Garden Lodge door fans wrote heartfelt messages on. A lot of people acted as though her removing it = threw it in a skip. She didn't do any such thing. She kept all those messages from fans.

While I get some people don't like her, the fact they hated her for something she didn't do is just another example of a certain section of fans just making up reasons to hate a woman who is currently dying of cancer.

#mary austin #freddie mercury #mary haters need to get in the bin tbh #you can like her and jim hutton #it's not a competition

Looking out the window

Prompt: ”Get some rest.” | Insomnia

----

Kouichi stared through the window. Sat on the windowsill and watched as the night slowly passed by outside. The clock ticked on the wall, a comforting presence in the otherwise quiet night. He was used to the sounds of the city, unable to fall asleep when the quiet got too loud.

And at his brother’s house, the silence was loud. A big house, with a big yard, in the outskirts of the city. All three of them early to bed and early to rise. Even Wolf, Kouji’s dog, spent the night sleeping instead of howling at the moon or barking at random people passing by the front door. Kouichi kind of missed the loud chihuahua in the apartment below his.

He yawned, but knew there was no idea trying to sleep. He had already spent three hours on his back, trying to relax, trying to let sleep lure him away. The mattress was so much softer than he was used to, the sounds different, the ceiling was different. He glanced at Kouji, who was sleeping peacefully. Rolled up on his side, face pressed against the wall. No sounds left him, not even his breathing could be heard in the quiet night. Even Kouji’s stillness was unnerving.

Tomoko was never still in her sleep. She’d talk, change positions, snore. Sometimes it woke Kouichi up, but he enjoyed it. It meant his mother was there. That he was still there. Kouichi took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The beeps of machines echoed in his memories. A sudden jolt through his body. Sounds dying out along with his breaths.

He let out a breath he didn’t remember holding. The sky was getting brighter and Kouichi rested his forehead against the cool glass. Listened as birds started singing outside. Kouji stretched in the bed.

”mmmMH!”

Kouichi turned his head, watched Kouji as he sat up, yawned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Kouichi yawned as well.

”Morning”, Kouji said.

He sounded so chipper. Awake. Kouichi smiled.

”Morning.”

His own voice sounded heavy, laced with tiredness. Like he hadn’t slept a full night for weeks. He hadn’t, but that was beside the point. Kouji tilted his head, his eyes narrowed and he watch Kouichi like a hawk.

”Did you get any sleep?”

”Yeah”, Kouichi hoped Kouji couldn’t tell he was lying. ”I literally just woke up. Sunrise is pretty out here, we can’t really see it in the city.”

”Hm.”

Kouji’s eyes narrowed further, but he stood up, walked over to the window and looked outside. The sky was pink, soft feather-like clouds spread across the sky. Kouji smiled.

”I never really take time to appreciate it”, he said. ”It sure is… pink?”

Kouichi snorted and gave Kouji a shove with his foot. Kouji laughed and stretched again.

”I need to take Wolf for a walk, do you want to come along?”

Kouichi lifted a hand to his mouth, yawned. Tears gathered in his eyes and he blinked, dried them off. Nodded and slid off the windowsill. Kouji crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head.

”Get some rest, ’niisan. I can tell you haven’t slept.”

Kouichi’s shoulders fell. He needed to get better at lying. He yawned again. Kousei and Satomi started moving in the other bedroom and sounds started filling the room left by the silence of the night. Maybe he could get a little sleep now, when the stillness didn’t weigh as heavy over him. He pulled a hand over his face.

”...fine. But only because I know you’d tie me to the bed otherwise.”

Kouji snorted and started changing out of his pyjamas. Kouichi crawled down into the guestbed again, listened as Kouji got ready, the birds sang and Satomi and Kousei went downstairs and got started on their daily routines. Wolf barked at something in the yard. Kouichi closed his eyes. Sleep came almost instantly and the world faded from his consciousness.
