they/them • glitter rock vampire

🤨 this man doesn't remember his family or life before getting kidnapped but somehow he knows what a bougainvillea is (I'm joking)

I downloaded Bloom & Rage Lost Records so fucking long ago I forgot it was on my xbox LMAO?? I was moving a game over and saw it in my recently installed and thought “when tf did I do that?”

NEW CONTROLLER WHICH MEANS I CAN PLAY VIDEO GAMES AGAIN YIPPEEEEE

also really funny fact but all my controllers have been purchased by my mom or her boyfriend and I never ask for them in a specific color but they always get red ones. I always find it amusing when strangers tell me they think my family is disappointed in me, cause my family is very supportive, understands my lifestyle completely, and does not fuck around when people disrespect me

the controller is an official xbox controller called "pulse cipher" if u want to look it up btw it's red with black details, a translucent front plate, and a metallic d-pad

honestly I don't mind using the cheap offbrand controllers (as I have for years) but I gotta admit official xbox controllers just have a different feel to them. smoother, for sure. not to mention the drastic weight difference lol

I do think Fundie snarkers can be too cruel sometimes, but I also hate it when people attempt to combat that by going way too easy on "reformed" Evangelicals tbh it makes it really clear that some people deconstruct their Christian upbringing but still cling onto the way they were groomed to sympathize with Christians. like imo people went WAYYYY too hard on defending Bethany Beal (from Girl Defined) after that woman built an entire career off of vitriolic bigotry to an almost astounding degree, and SHE DIDN'T EVEN DECONSTRUCT! she did the bare minimum of supporting her republican husband as he reconsidered him faith, while constantly reiterating that she is still a christian

maybe I'm just too sensitive or whatever but Girl Defined spent years profiting off of the attention they got posting obscenely hateful things about trans women and so no, I don't think she "deserves credit for being honest even though it put her career in danger" and no I don't think she's a good person for being gracious enough to monetize her husband's deconstruction "despite the fact that it could drive away her fanbase"

sorry to rant about this stuff but I watched a few videos from a specific youtuber recently and was like wow these are the most dogshit white cis woman takes in existence. didn't address Girl Defined's horrendous history of bigotry at all, while constantly talking about how much she's "impressed" by Bethany and how "proud" she is and how she "respects" Bethany and it's like.. Bethany has not denounced her white supremacist views!! she is still a raging conservative! THE FIRST PINNED POST ON THE GIRL DEFINED INSTAGRAM PAGE IS THEM GOING ON A TRANSMISOGYNISTIC RANT TO PROMOTE THEIR NEWEST BOOK!! I'm BEGGING christian, agnostic, and atheist white women to stop praising these bigoted fucking weirdos

continuing my reread of the Mismatched Mates series, I skipped the only vampire book because I fucking hate it and I don't want to reread it, so after the shockingly pleasant experience that was reading The Alpha Experiment (I think I liked this more the second time!) now I'm almost done with Lost Touch and I feel JUST AS CONFLICTED as I did the first time I read it

like on one hand.. I think I feel better about the romance and have a firmer grasp on their dynamic! and on the other hand, WOW this is a shit show and their situation makes me sad! with the other couples who "have no choice" they all lowkey DO still have a choice, but in this book Asher just straight up has no choice and while I respect the fantasy and enjoy their relationship, holy fuck it depresses me.

This is also one of those books where I just wish they'd talk about their feelings seriously, because the entire arc of them in the hotel after visiting the Armitages is just so pointless to the story and kind of miserable in a way that doesn't even feel good (and yes, I know misery can feel good, I'm a whump enjoyer at heart) I kind of wanted them to just mate at the Armitages instead of having their miscommunication that lasts one day. one single day before they mate. I think the idea of a third act break up would've worked better if they were actually broken up, for longer, but how short of a time it is makes it feel pointless on so many levels

otherwise, I'm not sure I've enjoyed this book more than the first time (tho I did totally forget how hot some of the sex scenes were so that's 😗👌) but I'm definitely enjoying it.

on my current reread of the series, specifically these single-POV books, I've been trying to pay more attention to the wolfy behavior because it's a big tell for how the other character is feeling and I honestly don't recall thinking much of it the first time I read these books. I want to be more cognizant of how the author describes their body language and what that tells us (the readers, who know that their eyes glowing = horny) as opposed to what the main character is thinking (usually that they're scared) if that makes any sense at all.

it's honestly really amusing that nobody gets the Glee reference in my bio because for some reason millennials think it's a really sick burn to point it out, as if they're super intelligent big-brain geniuses for assuming that it's something *I* came up with, even though it is in fact just a quote from a tv show

and I'm honestly not even embarrassed to say I've watched Glee lol if you were alive in the 2010s and have somehow never seen an episode of Glee, that's pretty crazy, cause it was a massively popular show. I don't understand why some fans act like they're ashamed of having seen it, like... who cares

anyways if you've ever wondered, "why 'glitter rock vampire'"

I am a cool steampunk glitter rock vampire with tats and guyliner. And, of course, a fan of Adam Lambert. it's a meta reference, I'm far from embarrassed that lame people don't understand it lol

Monster High fans sit around all day and circle jerk about how "good the fashion used to be" despite the fact that 90% of the G1 drops were screen-printed sleeveless mini dresses, but GOD FORBID Mattel release Scarah with a mini dress that's got actual embroidery and sleeves, no, that's too boring

forbes actually published a real opinion article where one of their writers legitimately calls shipping two teen boys "problematic" because the characters are underage and one is canonically straight. i could not make this shit up if i tried

I need queer people to stop the mlm vs. wlw ship war so we can all fucking kill straights honestly this kind of blatant homophobia needs some kind of actual punishment besides a little bit of backlash from the shippers the writer attacked.

was this seriously not checked over by ANYONE? NO ONE questioned the ethics of saying this? are you fucking joking?
