nothing is cuntier to me than 90s dancesport. this commentator’s catty comment about a guy’s backbend while miss thing in the red dress moves perfectly with the music... i could watch this forever
why do people who transitioned as full-on adults continue to speak on what they believe the laws should be regarding child/adolescent medical transition? like how fucking dense do you have to be to think it’s the same situation? if you didn’t MEDICALLY transition in that specific age range, when your mind is more amenable to any number of ideas about identity or personal philosophy (as you are still a child figuring yourself out) then you do not know what it’s like to have doctors more or less gaslighting you into pseudoscientific concepts that adults can understand more like metaphors…
this is the same way religion harms vulnerable young people when their brain’s capacity for weighing what is and is not realistic is just not developed and the real life experience has not yet been gained… you don’t understand metaphors and gender roles and playing pretend and facades yet… it’s all REAL to you at that age… i was told i had a MALE SOUL… trapped inside my inferior female body which needed to be FIXED in some way.
the older i get the more i realize that what a lot of adult transitioners are describing amounts more to deliberate aesthetic changes, which do create a higher level of comfort in the body and self-expression, this is why there seems to be a lower rate of regret for these types… versus gnc children who have not yet gotten past the age stage of cross-sex identification (which seems to be a common experience during the development of sexual identity for a pretty sizable cohort of the current generation of homosexuals who transition)… i think adult transitioners without childhood dysphoria have a better big-picture view of the changes they’re seeking, and it’s extremely unfair for them to pretend that youth who are attempting to convert themselves from gay boys to straight women or from butch lesbians to straight men are in the same mindset. i know i was not. it was religious for me. it was totally all-consuming.
Not to bring negativity on the feed, but because I feel the need to say something, I will; unless someone has done extremely heinous shit (or said; I'm talking homophobic/transphobic, racist, etc, things like that but not limited to just those), please do not come to me to "warn" me about someone I've interacted with.
I've dealt with this so much on twitter, and 9 times out of 10, these "warnings" are based off petty beef someone has with another over things that are not my concern. I'm too tired for the petty "they said this, they did that" back and forth.
Please just don't do this, because it's honestly the quickest method to get me to never want any interaction with you at all.
Also I literally have maybe two friends on this website and they're inactive so everyone else is a complete stranger, like one interaction a friendship doesn't make bruh.
how do none of these actors feel like the age that they are
their age is always too young and too old at the same time
like mark pakin is freaking 24
whereas ford arun is only 20???
and then freaking jimmy turns 29 this year
but fourth and gemini are only 18?????????
and drake is 22??? which feels WAY too young??
and prom is 19, which might seem fine, but id like to remind you that he was in bad buddy, which aired in 2021 and was probably filmed throughout 2020-2021, which means he wouldve been freAKING 16-17 ALL THROUGHOUT THE FILMING OF THAT AND HANGING OUT WITH FREAKING 20-YEAR-OLDS
love had to play ohm’s sister who was younger by about a year, and yet she’s actually only two months younger than ohm
MILK IS 26??
also yak’s actor was also in bad buddy, he played pran’s friend safe (which explains a lot, i kept wondering why i recognised yak, but i thought maybe he just had one of those faces. nope, turns out he was in bad buddy) and he’s mark’s age
SEA TURNS 24 THIS YEAR. JIMMY AND SEA HAVE A FIVE YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE
this entire thing is just mindblowing to me
also satang has the same birthday as one of my friends (19 nov) and winny has the same birthday as another one of my friends (12 nov) and fourth and ford have the same birthday (18 oct), just two years apart! so that’s pretty interesting
crying for entirely different reasons now bc these boys are acting so nonchalant about this kid like ‘yeah he just showed up so we let him stay’ ‘you can’t go the authorities right now we’ve got too much work to do’ ‘just keep him and become a family’ it’s not a dog that is a whole child!!!
how do you feel about when writers used Roy and Wally’s as mouth pieces for the fans that wanted Garth removed from the team?
well to be honest, i don't think roy and wally were ever mouthpieces for fans who didn't like garth? like garth was never the Most popular but he was also never hated by any means. and while i wasn't alive during the time, i'm pretty sure garth was fairly well-liked during the silver age and bronze age, at least among aquafam and teen titans fans.
i think it's important to remember that wally and roy weren't like,, specifically targeting garth when they acted up. they were literally just like that. like wally using nicknames for garth was something that he did for all of them (and actually they all did it - it was just a Thing at the time). wally occasionally looked down on him or doubted him but again, he did that to dick and donna too.
similarly, roy was just going through his asshole teenager phase, and while he certainly didn't like garth, he didn't like the others at first either. roy and dick even had a (short lived) rivalry and wally had to break them up multiple times. roy came around after some time, and honestly, if garth had stuck around, i think they probably would've become actual friends.
but anyway them treating garth badly was really just,,, them being them, as shitty as it sounds. wally wasn't trying to be a bully - he was just a little insensitive at times. and roy was just in his little shit phase and treating everyone like that.
so while it's possible that some fans wanted garth gone, i really don't think wally or roy were used as mouthpieces for that. they were treating everyone like that.
vice versa resell viki. another proof of dislike for this series. now hmm will easily forget about this annoying misunderstanding bcs it will get lost in a huge pile of everything else. ppl need to prepare hdd. who watches viki at all?
BEEN SITTING HERE FOR THE PAST HOUR TRYING TO VERY CALMLY BREATHE THE PAIN AWAY. NOT ONLY IM FAILING IN THIS ENDEAVOR BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE BY THE SECOND. I FEEL SUICIDAL. IM SO UPSET I CAN'T EVEN FIND ANYTHING TO SAY IM JUST MAIMING BITING GNAWING GNASHING KILLING MURDERING SETTING BUILDINGS ON FIRE HOLDING EVERY SINGLE GMMTV EXEC AT GUN POINT COMMITTING GRAND SCALE LARCENY TO COPE
this is not even just about vice versa (tho in this case it hurts even more because we don't even have the alternative of a DVD box set), GMMTV is selling SO MANY of their BLs to Viki (even extremely popular ones like 2gether and my school president) when the main reason they were able to gain so much popularity and reach international viewers is exactly because their content was available to everyone for free. i just don't understand this choice under any point of view like the only possible reason is a financial one but are they really telling me Viki pays them so much that it's more profitable selling their shows and precluding so many viewers from being able to watch them rather than keeping them on youtube?????
I NEED TO COMMIT SOME CRIME SO BADLY RN BUT FIRST I GUESS I HAVE TO DO SOME SAVING 🙃
Making sure you're doing things the most logical way for ease, and then watching somebody undo what you just did because it doesn't make logical sense to them but you're simply done explaining yourself at this point
1. I wanted to ask the OOC question but I literally forgot until now! So I was engaging, just in my head!
2. Can you imagine small buggy meeting adult shanks and the other ways around? Small shanks meeting adult buggy? I think it would be hilarious

i apologize for deleting the post so hastily, anon!
there's a post that i've seen circle tumblr a time or two but have not reblogged (eta: this one) that essentially goes, "every character has the potential to do any action, it's just a matter of putting them in the right circumstances to make it plausible." in my opinion, OOC is then a matter of not doing the work to justify behavior as in-character.
for example, shanks is pretty well established as not wanting to fight people. he avoids fights, unless the alternative appears worse to him than fighting. even then, he usually pulls out a one-hit KO type attack, to minimize the amount of fighting that has to happen.
thus, i generally consider it out of character to write shanks viciously beating someone up.
but… if you're writing a shanks who doesn't yet have that emperor-level one-hit KO strength, who is up against someone he desperately needs to stop, someone who is strong enough to resist conqueror's haki and so stubborn that they won't stop unless they're literally unconscious… yeah, i think you can make that behavior make sense.
Why the fuck would we? Growing up, we're told never to ask someone their age, we're shown its something to be ashamed of, to want to hide. How calling someone 'old' is an insult. Why would we want to 'act our age', when we've seen over and over again, no one wants to. Maybe I want to act like a child for once. Maybe I want to act like a super wise grandma. Or maybe, age, does not equal maturity or how we should act. Ever think about that?
