The first kitchen tool Sun used for dimensional banishment was actually the frying pan. Yaaay. Sun gets his broom privileges back.
Pocket Space (i.e. pulling large objects out of small pockets) has been normal since the 7th comic.
Sun's Family Folder seen in Intervention part 2.
Banishing other Suns and Moons with the broom first happened in Crossover.

Irv’s just like all of us right now fr fr
Edit from @tolecover on TikTok
I think to understand Matty and where he’s coming from you need to listen to full quotes and look for the intent/context of what he’s talking about or what a “bit” is supposed to be about. Matty has been talking a lot about his opposition to toxic masculinity. This is just another example.
You're kidding me, the Dean and Crowley had sex thing is from Crowley saying they did things TO triplets and ppl lit genuinely srsly write meta that they fucked and Dean was gay silenced.
What are Their thoughts on the usage of fae/faer pronouns?
That they’re pronouns. Same reason one would be fine writing about ‘the gentry’ in a paper about historical nobility. The danger isn’t inherent to any particular words, it’s in willfully choosing to speak of the Gentry in the first place. It will draw their attention. That’s why most of the terms we have for them are flattering and respectful, like the Fair Folk, or the Lords and Ladies: if they are to overhear, at least they won’t take instant offense.
But without that context, without the intent to speak of them, the words are just words. They have other jobs. It’s not going to bring any trouble.

Lacking social skills vs using social skills to hurt people
When someone is a jerk, they’re often pejoratively referred to as “lacking social skills”.
But being a jerk and having bad social skills are different problems. Learning stronger social skills won’t necessarily make someone a better person.
Jerks often have exceptionally strong social skills. Jerks use their social skills to hurt people effectively (and to get away with it.) Sometimes this involves performing stereotypes of social awkwardness — and being very careful to pick targets they can get away with hurting. If someone is hurting people on purpose because they want to, teaching them social skills won’t usually help. They have to change their values and decide to stop hurting people.
People who are jerks and want to stop being jerks may also need to learn new skills for interacting with people. But if someone is intentionally mean, lacking skills isn’t the primary problem.
At the same time, sometimes when people are hurting others, the problem *is* weak social skills. Some social mistakes can be really harmful. (Eg: Standing too close, not understanding privacy, not understanding the difference between different types of physical contact, not understanding which kinds of questions are considered sexual, saying slurs without realizing they’re slurs, etc.) When people are hurting others by accident, learning social skills can be really helpful.
Being a jerk is a different problem than having weak social skills, and it’s important to take the difference seriously. When someone is making social mistakes out of ignorance, the solution is often education and support. When someone is a jerk and wants to learn to be better, the solution often involves education and support. (A caveat here — the people who they’re hurting should *not* be expected to be the ones providing this support.)
When someone is hurting others on purpose because they want to, often the only solution is to deprive them of opportunities to hurt others. (Eg: by banning them from events or suspending their professional license or voting them out of office.). Teaching an intentionally cruel person social skills will not help, and can actually make the problem worse.
Tl;dr It’s obnoxious to use “bad social skills” as a way to insult jerks. Being a jerk is a different problem from having weak social skills. People with good intentions and weak social skills need nonjudgemental help. (From the community or a service provider; generally not from the people they’re inadvertently hurting.) When someone is intentionally mean, teaching them social skills isn’t likely to help — and being nonjudgemental is likely to make matters worse.
Saw this on TikTok and felt it would be good to share today after the media articles.
This is Matty in his own words talking about the dangers of cancel culture and labeling people things they are not. It gives better context to where he was coming from and the bigger conversation he’s trying to make.
tumblr users will see an incredibly simple post, take it in the worst faith possible, twist its words and intent like a pretzel until they find the one single piece of conflicting information, and then go “so your post is stupid and wrong actually.” use your fucking brains and think about what the author was trying to convey instead of piecing apart every single word like a lunatic.
