promise to haunt me when you're gone

I'm on my malevolent relisten rn, and at the moment I think s2 finale is one of the best things I've ever listened to. Arthur and John's willingness to sacrifice themselves for each other? Arthur's poem about the loss of his parents? Lily? “whatever happens, I'll never forget you”? “and yet, you love him”? “I trust you”? “get him home safely”? absolute masterpiece.

btw if you're bored as an artist you should try learning to draw fat and skin folds, it genuinely is really fun once you get into it.

obligatory link to morpho fat and skin folds to help you get started

btw i framed it as "fun to do" because it actually is fun to do and i think telling people theyre a bad person unless they do something well is generally a bad motivator that tends to make people give up at the first sign of imperfection.

I believe trans men are more alike to trans women than we are difderent, maybe we will never intersect in our understanding of the world, but we are not going in opposite directions, we are in parallel in how we move forward, we are iconoclasms and transgression embodied, and I am glad to be here in this chaos, no matter how brief

when my shelter cat passes by me, he pauses for a second, and looks up. He is waiting for me to lean down, and touch my hand against his side, so that when he keeps walking, my hand skims across his fur. he doesn't really need attention. he has his own thoughts and plans. but after more than a year of living in our home, he has come to expect a moment of kindness whenever he crosses my path. if I don't do it, he will follow me. "where is your hand?" he asks, with his plaintive and impatient eyes. I give it to him. he bumps against it like a balloon before wandering away. this is a poem to me

Bastille was right. How am I gonna be an optimist about this. Also right about eh eho eho.

anyone like milfs right?

she is a loving and kind mother but also works her ass trying to catch up with college work to get a degree in art (she's an artist, she makes paintings) and does suffer a bit from loneliness from raising a single child by herself

they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 12 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids

God Bless people who dress wild and go out in public. I love seeing a woman in all pink with pink hair and pink nails, with a tiny dog in a pink outfit in her bag. Or a massively goth dude covered in piercings sporting a giant green mohawk. Cosplayers. SCA reenactors. Ren Faire people. There’s nothing I love more than a pair of handsome young men walking around in Revolutionary War outfits. Just please keep dressing wild and freaky. You bring color to life, and it never fails to put a big smile on my face.

Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.
