#no but please come hang out

[inkskinned]

there are days that it is hard, and unfair, and some horrible part of me wishes i could have been born in a different world. i love being queer, i hate how others react to it. when i first came out at 15, my mom whispered: please don't say that. your life would be so much harder.

it is harder.

it is also a tuesday, walking my dog. we are both skiving off of work, and yes both of us have dyed hair and pronouns. mine is patchy - it was my first time trying bleach; i didn't have enough. theirs is a resilient toadstool green. a little girl comes up to us and asks um, excuse me? is your hair real? 'cause jason says you're a fairy.

it is sunday brunch, all of us talking over each other, overfull on love. she is trying out a new name today, and we made her a cake with today's name scrawled in shaky purple letters. she laughs so much she cries and then gets frosting in her hair. someone young at a different table keeps giving us these large, wide eyes: the same look we have all been on the other side of. the kind that says, breathless: wait, is that possible?

it is a half-fight in a supermarket because he loves "dance moms" and says abby's tiktok is funny and meanwhile i think the children in that show should be allowed to sue abby lee miller for child abuse. i tell him that it led to the casual acceptance of child harassment for mainly adult views; and then i am standing, suddenly, in someone else's thrown soda. there's a white lady standing there, furious, saying something about hell-on-earth. i had forgotten i was wearing stuff with pride colors. and then it is this: he had just been casually arguing with me - and within an instant, he squares his shoulders and goes after her like i am his sister

on saturday i sat in a circle while beca played with my hair and we were all over 30 and we laughed about how much happier we are being this old, how much more we appreciate our community. 25 minutes from now, we will be on stage to dance in baggy beige clothing, but for now we look on with envy to the dancers in loud-and-bright buttondowns. where are they getting these shirts! i cry, distraught. everyone laughs. one of our friends has a mushroom witch hat. this would have been cringey in high school, probably. instead we are all delighted with each other; happy just to be here and alive and moving

it's that last week my new friends cried with joy for me when they heard i'm getting top surgery. every so often i have the honor of being the first person someone feels comfortable enough to tell. i'm trying to make long fluttery butterfly wings to wear to pride; but i don't know anything about fabric or dye, so my friends have been sending me their personal advice.

i think in a different poem i would talk about how sometimes you walk into a room and put the mask back on. but i'm sleepy and my whole brain is fuzzy so i think in this one, it's a monday, and my dog and i took a nap on a couch, and i had missed texts from friends. i used to wake up lonely. i think this poem is about walking into a room and seeing someone and just knowing, the way you just-know-sometimes, and then giving them that little smile, and seeing them light up with joy and relief. it is how we always seem to be able to find each other in a crowded room. how we always seem to make friends with each other before even we know-it-to-be-true. it is saying: we're very different people; but i belong to you.

it is harder, yes. but it comes with a built-in family.

#wish this was better written!!! but im sleepy!! #writeblr #pride #lgbt #but for real please help me make these lesbian wings. gonna get the supplies tomorrow . i have #no sewing machine but know how to hand sew #have never done a good job with tie dye so idk why im just runnin with it #ps im specifically going to boston pride next weekend come hang out with me

scrapnik island is soo good !!! I really want mecha and silver to be farming buddies now!! :,)

#kickdraw #sonic idw #scrapnik island #scrapnik mecha sonic #silver the hedgehog #sonic #idw sonic spoilers #old drawing but i finally slapped some colors on it to post cause im not going to otherwise hadkfjghadf #both of them getting arcs at the same time and ian saying mecha could come back sooner than you might think is making my lose my mind #silver would accept mecha he's one of the characters who would probably just hang out with him right off the bat imo #kinda would fit the arc he's in right now... #please.... hear me out... i want them to be besties.... #nothing like 2 separate characters who have never met turning to farming to fill the void of purpose in their new lives #LET THEM BE FRIENDS!! PLEASE!!!!

I find it really funny that Dazai has, if my memory serves me right, has swore only two times in the whole manga (he seldom swears even at his enemies, he an annoyingly polite boy) and both times coz of Fyodor... like this man made Dazai-annoy-everyone-around-me-to-death-Osamu go WTF at his antics

I bet if Fyodor drops his mask of the perfectly-in-control mastermind and let loose, he's gonna be weirder than Dazai + Gogol combined. Sigma hasn't seen the worst of this gang yet...

#bsd #bsd fyodor #my-bsd-posts #funpost #dazai rarely swears iirc unlike chuuya who is a cursing machine #if at the end of the story maybe twenty years down the lane lol #if fyodor gets to be friends with the ada #friends as in he hangs out in the building uninvited and jobless coz his world changing plans are all finished #or he changes sides or something #in the beginning maybe atsushi goes from demon fyodor to fyodor-san the way he went for sigma #but then he comes to know his real personality (which is trash worse than dazai) and he regrets the decision #and ranpo realizes he was wrong #this isn't like going up against dazai but his eviller twin #as for dazai he'd be like if u can't beat 'em join 'em #so it's two dazais for ada now #plus one clown free pass #and one hardworking ex manager who is the only one kunikida atsushi and co respects #i kind of wanna see this demon trio 2.0 go loose on yokohama haha #also please don't take this seriously #i don't write it as a dazai character analysis or anything #ig translations for the first panel are different in the official ones #but i like the fan translations' dazai went hol' up hold' up wtf on fyodor hehehe

If they didn't want me to make them into yaoi they could stop being yaoi for five seconds

#joetrick #kill me #please don't stop actually fob #increase it please #he's gonna fucking eat him #profiles my beloved #I've been trying to draw from more references recently bc i can feel my basics slipping a little bit but they come right back with practice #also good excuse to stare at every inch of their faces #the way their skin hangs on their faces drives me insane do you understand #the deep valleys under joes deep set eyes the flat plane under Patrick's nose #the hard lines of cheekbone contrasted with the soft of their jaws from weight and age I'm so fucking in love #the way their different features have aged #Patrick's lips compared to Joe's joes lower cheek compared to Patrick #theyre both so damn pretty #safe to reblog #fall out boy #patrick #joe #this is a doodles blog but bRO I LOVE DRAWING #tourdust

also like. losing is a part of being a sports fan. so as much as i've been like 'it doesn't really matter because of all that we've won in the past!' that doesn't actually mean anything. lots of teams lose all the time and you don't have to justify watching them or give a reason for why they're still worth your time and attention as a fan. this kind of feels like a very uniquely tumblr thing, and i think it's been shaped a little bit by a few people going around frantically asking others to like...fix how they feel about the team's performance for them, but like...

...you can just watch a team that isn't very good, because you like the players and that's your team. it's ok. you don't need to have a set of reasons to trot out to give to others who have decided to put their bad feelings around losing at your feet.

idk. i feel like pens fans are in a weird spot because we've had so much success for so long that maybe some of us are feeling like we either need to be blindly confident the success will return quickly, or we need to have a bunch of justifications for still watching?

it's enough to have just selected this team as your team and watch them. it doesn't need to be deeper than that. none of us are hockey execs or GMs or coaches, and it's ok to just watch a game and be like 'hell yeah' when they win or 'man' when they lose and that's it. we don't all need to be searching for answers in order to be here.

#i dunno this makes no sense #i'm exhausted and i've written far too many words today #but like...man #seeing what i suspect is the return of someone who made a lot of us feel really bad last season #(because they're in my inbox again today too i just am not answering) #is making it hard to want to come on tumblr and hang out with my friends during and after games #please stop putting that on other people #it's not fair and we've asked so many times for it to stop

Hey Baba, it seems like you've been seeing a lot of yucky stuff online right now. A lot of people who aren't remembering their manners and are forgetting that there's people behind a screen. I know you like your screen time but please remember that the world isn't all like that okay? Some people are different online and forget their values and let's remember that these days, algorithms perpously show you things that'll make you upset. Yes, yes it's not very fair, is it sweetheart. Please remember to take some breaks and that the world isn't really like that. It's so important to protect yourself. Yes, silly even if you think you don't deserve it; because you do.

#todd talks #🫛 #agere #agere text #age regression #caregiver blog #caregiver text #agere reminders #inspired by my instagram filling up with really scary & unhelpful advice and people who are just coming out to bully people #please remember everyone that the hot market these days isnt real estate or stocks it is peoples attention spans and companies want to show #you the cherry-picked very best and the tailor made worst just for you #for years i only had tumblr reddit and youtube because i dont want a big digital footprint and i dont think much good comes from it #but i got instagram a few months ago so i can stay in touch with people and oh my gosh its vile #even when youre so particular about what you like/watch #but!! #as long as youre being aware you are already doing great. if you catch your self going hang on. this is a rubbish post. thats you recognisi #whats going on. which makes it a lot harder for it to get to you #sorry if this is a bit much but its something thats really important to me.. i just think social media is so evil these days. #be your online body guard!!! protect your feed!! keep your head up!!! #and if you feel you cant??? i can take care of it for you raaaa!

thinking so so hard about LaughingStock and how that'd go down. disastrously, probably

#and ill talk about it at Length in the tags until tumblr cuts me off like a rowdy drunk after last call #please keep in mind this is all in my Brain and relationship dynamics etc are all technically speculation. anyway #so while franklydear is your more classic 'oh no im in love with him! / aw shucks im in love with him<3' #laughingstock is 'feelings what feelings / oh shit oh fuck this is bad' #to Me. #in my mind howdy is completely oblivious to his emotions #he's out here like 'gotta get the store impressively neat & shiny for barnaby! and everyone else' without blinking an eye #he starts assembling barnaby and wally's dogs slower an slower so that barnaby has to hang around a smidge longer than usual #he's out here giggling at barnaby's jokes while sweeping Hours or Days after the joke was told like a lovesick idiot #all while being like Ah Yes Barnaby My Dear Friend. My Platonic Buddy Whose Jokes I Laugh At A Little Too Hard. Platonically. #meanwhile barnaby Realizes his own feels. has a minor crisis. goes through the 12 stages of grief and absolutely panics #he's like 'ok just gotta play it cool. normal. dont be weird. he'll fall for your natural charm in no time' #'ill hold all of my feelings right here until i die or howdy reciprocates. i just cant tell anyone about this.' #'....hey wally you can keep a secret right' #and rizzes it up yk. rolls a nat 20 on charisma every time without howdy even realizing it. ig barns rolled for stealth too #and from barnabys pov its going great! #howdy is flirting back! hes showing all the signs! when eddie views their interactions he comes to barnaby later and is like A+ gay as fuck #so barnaby is a soft pining mess and howdy is Absurdly Oblivious despite being a clever & observant guy #so im imagining (will freely admit that this Train of Thought is slightly inspired by the latest chapter of Stamps by Indigopoptart) #that eventually barnaby is Confident in their budding relationship ok. hes ready to ask howdy out. #everyone who Knows (wally & eddie) are like Go For It He Clearly Loves You #and when barnaby tells howdy. howdys like 'ohhhh geez um im really flattered 🥺 but i dont feel the same 😔😭' #cue barnaby turning into the 'never again' meme while trying to laugh it off and pretend like he didnt just have his heart mr starked #so he goes home to smoke his pipe and cry and howdy goes about his day feeling Strange #why cant he stop thinking about that confession. what are these emotions. i mean its not as if hes in love with Ohhhhhh No. Oh No. #so howdy has his 'holy shit! im in love with barnaby! (lovestruck. swooning) ....Holy Shit I Rejected Barnaby (horrified. nauseous)' moment #cue howdy expecting barnaby to come by in the morning as per Routine so they can talk. he Doesnt. cue howdy stressing the fuck out over it #meanwhile wally sally (eddie sent her in his place. hes too busy) and barnaby are having a girls day (eating ice cream and watchin romcoms) #eventually barnaby hears that howdy has been Dropping The Ball and cant not check on him. cue emotional heart-2-heart outside the bodega #this is all very specific but its in my brain. these scenarious lull me to sleep every night lately

the thing with yaz&14 is that like,,, the best thing thats ever happened to you in your life happens to you, and you learn some things about yourself, and you grow up in the process, and find the thing you love to do, and youre really good at it, and you get a taste of a life that you can see yourself doing until you die (even if it might make that death come a little sooner than expected), and you fall in love with the person who kind of embodies that life,

and then that person is like actually im 10 times happier not doing that

#and it's not 'not doing that With You' #but With Her is very much part of the life for yaz i think #like clara can get her own tardis and become her own gay doctor #but i think for yaz like yes she loves travelling but it's not just that. it's specifically what she did with 13 #it's specifically 'i see something need fixing i do what i can' #it's specifically that #i think 14 still like would LOVE to have yaz in their life #as im writing it currently 14 is very much like please come hang out any time #14 can make yaz fit in this life #but i think yaz doesnt know how she fits here #with All these other people who love and surround the doctor too right? and without travelling #and it's so rough bc it's like #for yaz it's like she sort of wants the old life back but at the same time thats wishing for the doctor to be so much more miserable

All of y'all pretending like heterosexual women are the only ones who experience misogyny, or experience the most misogyny, are not (just) being homophobic, you're being misogynistic.

You're denying women's sex based oppression is real or it's severity. So maybe sit down and shut up and realize that we are still women despite the fact that we are not sleeping with men. You have the ability to make the choice not to sleep with men too. It's not an inaction unique to homosexuals.

I will spread any feminist praxis I want, and if it's insulting for me to reiterate the ideals we preach in these spaces because I'm a homosexual then you can go ahead and be insulted. SSA women have just as much claim to these spaces as you do because we are women and these spaces are for fighting misogyny, which we all experience. It's not just for tackling the misogyny y'all are uncomfortable with, it's for tackling all of it. Get with the program, ladies.

#you don't have to like the fact that I sleep with women but you cannot act like I am not a woman #just as much right to be here and to preach the ideals radical feminists hold as you heterosexual women #I don't need to couch my language into something more appealing for you because I don't sleep with men #literally a problem you're choosing to perpetrate onto yourself #no one needs sex to survive nor romance it would be nice if you women would stop acting like they do. #the constant reiteration that women just naturally desire and need a romantic partner is misogyny it's propaganda #lily responds #radical feminism #radfems please touch #terfs please interact #radical feminists please touch #radical feminist #radical feminist theory #radfem lesbian #it doesn't become easier to be a good feminist as a lesbian you just aren't putting in the effort #I know this may come to a shock from you because you only hang out with lesbians in these faces but most women do expect we hold up #the gendered expectation for women and beauty standards just like it's expected of you #all socialized by the patriarchy on how women are supposed to look this doesn't change by being homosexual. we just make the effort not to #these ideas through our community cuz we're radfem homosexuals #maybe try to be less ignorant. that may help you be a better feminist overall

Hey, what do you mean by Perfect Cell? This has so many possible implications. Can he spawn mini hims? Can he fucking absorb people? EXPLODE?! There is a few things this could mean

On reflection, it's actually more of a Piccolo thing, since Perfect Cell has the trait from Piccolo's DNA, just turned up to 11, and Lamarr cannot regenerate from total obliteration the way Cell can.

So Lamarr can't pull a Perfect Cell, but he can pull a Piccolo. But I wanna use The Lines.

the dialogue in the first 2 panels is stolen from DBZA (as linked) the dialogue in the second 2 panels is not

hey COD Fandom! It’s great that y’all are enthusiastic about these boys but please remember to tag only the characters who are necessary and to use the read more function for your fics especially if its smut, im seeing a lot of spam tags and long posts!

It’s great to see everyone having fun, but, for example, if I’m looking through the COD Nikolai tag for content, or looking for Gaz or Price content in their tags, it’s a bit of a drag to scroll through six Ghost HC posts and Smutfics that have nothing to do with Nikolai, Gaz, or Price at all.

The sudden surge of COD work is absolutely amazing, but Tumblr’s tagging system exists for a reason and so does the read more function— please use it.

#i know some of yall are coming in from TikTok and Twitter but please please please remember that tumblr has a structure as shaky as it is #tumblr etiquette isnt too hard once you get the hang of it but please understand that not everyone wants to see 3k words of a smut longpost #just remember to use all the functions so that the tag pools arent beloated #Spam Tag posts will begin to get reported when people get annoyed ive seen it happen in the Submas community #also remember to keep RP out of the main tags as well #tumblr has rules and regulations that are often unspoken because we've all been here for a while #Call of Duty #call of duty modern warfare #cod mw2 #cod mw #psa #Kiwiki Speaks

If you live in Austrilia why do you keep posting about USA politics? You don’t live here.

First of all its spelled Australia. I know we don't pronounce half the syllables but come on.

Second of all, LOL.

The fact that you've sent through this ask says so much. If you think you live in a bubble where US politics doesn't affect the rest of the world, you're dead wrong.

See the United States has something that we don't. It's called the US Dollar. It's the most commonly held currency in the world, and most international trade is conducted in it. Australia has a stockpile of it, pretty much all the countries in the world do, because it's how we do business. We hold a bunch of it so that we can do international business with y'all and with most other countries. We have a foreign exchange reserve of about 35 US Billion.

That might not mean a whole lot to you, because you think that American decisions only affect Americans.

DING DONG YOUR OPINION IS WRONG

When America makes dumb decisions like electing an orange shit flinging megalomaniac, the rest of the world loses confidence in the American dollar and gets all nervous and shit. And because we are close friends and trading partners, Australia's economy suffers as a result.

America's political climate also strongly influences our own. We generally follow whatever you guys do. You elect a psychopath, we elect a psychopath. You close your borders, we tighten ours.

You go to war, we follow you in. We're fucking allies. Australia's one of your most loyal friends. We've got American military bases on Australian soil. Look up Pine Gap. It's a fucking CIA/NSA base in the middle of our goddamn country.

You and me baby, we're best mates whether you like it or not.

And, like a good best mate,

I'M GONNA FUCKING SAY SOMETHING WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING FUCKING STUPID

SUCH AS ELECTING DONALD FUCKING TRUMP BACK INTO FUCKING OFFICE

#australia #jesus christ spell my country right PLEASE #it is not that hard #this is an enormous oversimplification i'm not an expert i just dont wanna see y'all literally die #at the hands of your own brothers and cousins #come on its still thanksgiving go hang out dont send me shit like this
