Super passionate and really cute

"i'm not triggered or upset by or even ideologically opposed to it, i just associate it with something so bad that i can't enjoy it anymore" is such a frustrating relationship to have with a piece of media

nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!

I love the tension of “you can’t possibly want to be with someone like me” in queer stories, and the unbearable tension that results from someone saying “yes I very much do”

Eight years ago I was so deeply invested in the American presidential election, I listen to multiple weekly podcasts, I was on twitter, I checked the polling updates, read the articles, watched the news, I could tell you the political happenings of every week of 2016, and we were on the road for a large portion of it so we had to work for it. We watched one of the presidential debates in a Las Vegas Panera before heading back to our campsite. I did something similar for the 2020 election because jesus christ what a fucking Historical Year. Now it’s 2024, and gearing up for the grind once more is such a dismal feeling. I don’t want to have to have an opinion on Nicky Haley’s viability as republican candidate. I don’t want to follow another twelve Trump trials. I don’t want to watch everyone even slightly left of center once again devour each other as we polarize about it’s a bigger war crime to vote for Biden or not vote for Biden. Everything is going to get so unpleasant and it’s so important and the stakes are so high and it’s gonna suck the whole time. I’m trying to think of one funny thing that could plausibly happen that would fill me with joy and not terror for the future of America and also the world, and so far I’ve only come up with Jeb Bush giving a presidential campaign another go.

ok but are you willing to date a trans woman even if she never wants to have sex? will you still love her if she's ace or has sensory issues or has dysphoria or just doesn't want to ever have sex for any reason? do you still see her as a full human being worthy of respect, kindness, care, and love even knowing she will never have sex with you?

I don't think it's healthy to frame it like this. Some people want sex in a relationship and some people don't. Ostracizing people that want sex in their relationship isn't helpful.

if your trans girlfriend comes out as ace and you need sex in a relationship that she doesn't feel comfortable doing with you, then you should either work something out so that you can get your sexual needs filled elsewhere or stop dating her. this applies to all relationships of course but so many trans women are valued exclusively for their willingness to be sex objects and I'm fucking sick of it. can you imagine what it's like to be one of the most fetishized minorities in the world while being ace? do you have any idea how much it fucks with trans women's self-esteem when people lose interest in them and stop even pretending to care about them because they don't want to have sex? do you know how many of them stay with partners who coerce them into sex that they don't want so that they can at least feel like someone cares about them? you'll have to forgive me if my sympathies lie with my fellow ace trans women instead of the people who treat them as sex toys they can dispose of when they're deemed no longer useful.

Yeppp. That’s why I had to add the banner. Blocking them is like whack-a-mole.

OH THATS REALLY FUNNY

boy it's me the textiles speaking to you inside your head. you need the yarn. you need thread. your soul hungers to participate in the act of creation. you must feed it. you must buy so many beads.

my partner doesn’t use pet names nearly as much as i do, which is very funny because i will crack my gay little knuckles and say some shit like “good morning my sun and moon, my loveliest boy, my baby my sweetheart my darling dearest” and he will reply “hello adrian”

They need to invent more fake celebrities like Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz and the Muppets because it's genuinely the most sustainable way to maintain a parasocial relationship with the entertainer class.

Kermit the Frog can never get canceled because Kermit the Frog has no agency or personhood beyond what he is imbued with by the collective labor of puppeteers, voice actors, singers, and writers. He is, along with these other examples, effectively a celebrity by gestalt. He has transcended the inherit instability of the celebrity class through diffusion of responsibility for his personhood. He is a god.
