Expect…

  • multimedia posting; a little bit of everything
  • spamming whatever i’m focused on atm
  • spamming long-term interests (fantasy, folklore, d&d-adjacent works)
  • sad goobers: atm thistle and yaad from dunmesh, orin the red, hypnos and zagreus, caduceus clay
  • character dynamics: troubled families, secret third things, aspec ships, brotps. i love platonic and familial love stories.
  • queerness, neurodivergence, aroace mental illness. i talk about incest trauma semi-regularly.

"masculinity is rewarded!!!!1!!111"

tell that to masculine Black men who are always seen as agressive/predatory, who lose their freedom and their lives because white people assume their masculinity equals criminality. Tell that to all the little Black boys who have been "mistaken" for grown men by law enforcement because of their clothing, how they walk, how they talk, their height, their features.

ANY Black woman could tell you about a time when she had masculinity imposed on her as a way to paint her as agressive and invalidate her skills, feelings, thoughts and opinions. Majority of the instances of public bathroom transvestigations that have made it to the news cycle last year involved Black women, and not just any Black women, but studs. Any instance where a Black woman chooses to embrace masculinity is met with pearl clutching white women who are eager to rip them to shreds.

All this goes and more in youre a queer Black person, a trans Black person, a neurodivergent Black person, a disabled Black person, a darker skinned Black person.

the thing is when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from supernatural they usually mean "it was invented by the supernatural fandom in a fanfic". on the other hand, when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from star trek, they mean "it was the plot of at least one star trek episode"

Little silkworms spinning. I have been looking after some for a friend who is raising peace-silk for a project, will meet them again as moths in a week or so!

I FOUND IT FINALLY!

i think when actors need to leave a show for whatever reason but the character is important and doesnt need to be written off / writing them off would make the story worse i think they should just hire a new actor for the character but, and this is the crucial bit, hire a similar-looking actor of a different gender. Yeppp they look different bc they transitioned between seasons. Obviously

i don't understand how people can act like "pathetic man x awesome girlboss woman" is supposed to be some kind of subversive feminist fantasy when men have been fantasizing about being underdog losers who still manage to get with the awesome cool woman who is out of their league for decades now. in fact men have been using "woman is so awesome and cool and sexy like some kind of goddess" as a substitute for having to consider women's interiority for not just decades but centuries now. what makes you any different
