Not only is it okay for nonbinary people to have boobs and like their boobs. It’s also okay for nonbinary people to want boobs or to want bigger boobs. It’s okay for nonbinary people to dislike having a flat chest or to wish their boobs were bigger. It’s okay for nonbinary people to seek out medications and surgeries that will give them their desired silhouette. Nonbinary people who enjoy padding and wearing push up bras, should feel free to do so. Wanting boobs is fantastic and nonbinary people should feel free to celebrate boobs and to be excited for boobs. Wanting boobs is just as normal a thing for a nonbinary person to want as wanting a flat chest.

Image Description taken from ALT text:

A guide to writing alt text on images. At the top, it says "Writing Alt Text" in big white text. It then lists off five major steps to writing alt text.

Identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features. It then shows an image of a capybara, with a sample alt text that reads, "A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on top of the capybara's head." with each block of text color-coordinated to show which of the five steps it corresponds to.

At the bottom of the image is the word "Puzzle" stylized into a logo.

End ID.

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i tried to space it out a little more #but op #take note #not everyone's screenreaders properly reads the alt text #so having alt and an id in the blog post itself is much better for accessibility purposes :) #reblog #described #thanks for the id!!

The story both starts and ends with the exact same sentence, the last in a sad way. “She smiled at me, like any stranger would.”

Peter Parker is sick and tired of being treated like trash from all the heroes and decides to quit being Spider-Man. Since then, crime rate is at a all time high in New York and the heroes are losing against the villains. Peter says it’s not his problem anymore.

#ok so #peter parker has done this before #of course everyone knows about the second time he did it #the iconic spider-man no more scene in the original comics #but did you know he actually quit before that? #he quit because aunt may was suffering some major health crises #and had to run out on gobby #and then he walks into his house and aunt may notices hes sulking and kicks his ass into starting again #theres also the more modern iteration of this kind of that i havent read where he suffered a coma and had to do pt with black cat #thats literally the only part i like about that run btw #but yes peter's whole deal is #responisbility and power and yada yada #if he can do something he will #realistically though #not much would happen #if he quit for like a week or two #his villains would be like wtf #and the crime rate would jump #but this prompt is way closer to peter catastrophizing than actually thinking with his science brain #boi needs a rest and a week off would do him some good #he can make up for it by wailing on kingpin again #i dunno #reblog #writing prompt #this is also not taking into account ult spider-man #aka spider-man

The alien who'd told me to call him Savron (the "r" was pronounced with an alveolar trill, which was interesting to me, I wondered what kind of tounges their species had–) looked at me strangely. I was not comfortable with that.

I broke the somewhat awkward silence. "Um. Well, it's from this work of fiction that was created in the 2000's? Uh."

"How does this relate to the statement, "we die in real life?"" Savron tilted their elongated head, the white robes they were sheathed in shifting with them. It was mesmerizing.

"Basically, the concept was that this simulation was so realistic that the body would kill itself because it was convinced it was real. And then this anime? About this kid who–well, I guess that one's less important…"

Savron shook their fist at me their six fingered hands, kind of like in rock paper scissors. "I appreciate the knowledge of your culture, but I assure you, this simulation was meant to train astronauts in handling," then they whistled before adding a plosive to the end, "danger zones."

I gave the device on their neck a curious look. "Why didn't the translator know that word?"

"Ah, there is no exact translation. It can be used to describe something hard to break or extremely dangerous. It is often grouped together with five other words and can describe the difficulty of something relative to those other words. It can also be used to describe fruit.

"Oh! kind of like "Easy, Medium, and Hard?""

"Excuse me? What is," Savron unleashed a growl then a rolled r that petered off into nothing.

"Ah, um it's like this…"

“Remember, if you die in the simulation-” “Yeah, yeah, we know, you die in real life.” “What? No! You need to reset the simulation with this terminal! What is WRONG with you humans?!”

tragic ironies in batman comics my beloved like what do u mean the character who values freedom and flight above all else becomes willingly shackled to the earth. what do u mean the character who takes a heavy burden out of necessity claws at u to hold onto it. what do u mean u died in a selfless act and returned to act selfishly. what do u mean you’ve become just like ur father.
