Screw terfs n all but are you normal about transgirls who don't want to medically transition? Are you normal about transguys with boobs who don't wear binders? Are you normal about the trans people who only want to socially transition because that's what's right for them? Are you normal about the transgirls with beards? Are you normal about the transguys who love their curves? Screw terfs, but are you normal about trans people?

Can we talk about the weird misogyny that’s in the idea that T makes trans men ugly.

The T making trans guys ugly idea always is joined with ‘women are destroying their beautiful feminine bodies to become men.’ Shit.

It’s just ‘a women’s (or people that society deems as women.) worth is connected to how pleasing/attractive they are to cishet men.’ idea.

Trans guys becoming masculine is seen as us losing value and worth as a person because we are no longer attractive to cishet men.

#THANK YOU HOLY SHITTT #the way in which people constantly argue that trans men are incapable of experiencing misogyny because of their self identification... #so so stupid lol

more on writing muslim characters from a hijabi muslim girl

- hijabis get really excited over pretty scarves - they also like to collect pins and brooches - we get asked a lot of questions and it can be annoying or it can be amusing, just depends on our mood and personality and how the question is phrased - common questions include: - “not even water?” (referring to fasting) - hijabis hear a lot of “do you sleep in that?” (we don’t) and “where is your hair?” (in a bun or a braid, usually) - “is it mooze-slim or mozzlem?” (the answer is neither, it’s muslim, with a soft s and accent on the first syllable) - “ee-slam or iz-lamb?” (it’s iss-laam, accent on the first syllable) - “hee-job?” (heh-jahb, accent on the second syllable)

- “kor-an?” (no. quran. say it like koor-annn, accent on the second syllable) - people tend to mess up our names really badly and you just get a sigh and a resigned nod or an awkward smile, maybe a nickname instead - long hair is easy to hide, short hair is harder to wrap up - hijab isn’t just covering hair, it’s also showing as little skin as possible with the exception of face, hands, and feet, and not wearing tight/sheer clothing - that applies to men too, people just don’t like to mention it ( i wonder why) - henna/mehendi isn’t just for special occasions, you’ll see people wearing it for fun - henna/mehendi isn’t just for muslims, either, it’s not a religious thing - henna/mehendi is not just for women, men also wear it, especially on their weddings - there are big mehendi parties in the couple of nights before eid where people (usually just women and kids) gather and do each other’s mehendi, usually just hands and feet - five daily prayers - most muslim kids can stutter through a couple verses of quran in the original arabic text by the age of seven or eight, it does not matter where they live or where they’re from or what language they speak natively - muslim families tend to have multiple copies of the quran - there are no “versions” of the quran, there has only ever been one. all muslims follow the exact same book - muslims have no concept of taking God’s name in vain, we call on God at every little inconvenience - don’t use islamic phrases if you don’t know what they mean or how to use them. we use them often, inside and outside of religious settings. in islam, it is encouraged to mention God often and we say these things very casually, but we take them very seriously - Allahu Akbar means “God is Greatest” (often said when something shocks or surprises us, or if we’re scared or daunted, or when something amazing happens, whether it be good or bad; it’s like saying “oh my god”) - Subhan Allah means “Glory be to God” (i say subhan Allah at the sky, at babies, at trees, whatever strikes me as pleasant, especially if it’s in nature) - Bismillah means “in the name of God” and it’s just something you say before you start something like eating or doing your homework - In Shaa Allah means “if God wills” (example: you’ll be famous, in shaa Allah) (it’s a reminder that the future is in God’s hands, so be humble and be hopeful)

- Astaghfirullah means “i seek forgiveness from Allah” and it’s like “god forgive me” - Alhamdulillah means “all thanks and praise belong to God” and it’s just a little bit more serious than saying “thank god” (example: i passed my exams, alhamdulillah; i made it home okay, alhamdulillah) - when i say we use them casually, i really mean it - teacher forgot to assign homework? Alhamdulillah - our version of “amen” is “ameen” - muslims greet each other with “assalamu alaikum” which just means “peace be on you” and it’s like saying hi - the proper response is “walaikum assalam” which means “and on you be peace” and it’s like saying “you too”

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

I looked up some stuff and i think Fresh Season 2024 is the point where finally the point where splatoon 3 caught up to Splatoon 2.

For normal battle stages, Splatoon 2 had 23 at the end, and with marlin airport, Splatoon 3 now also has 23

Splatoon 2 had 139 main weapons, splatoon 3 currently has 133 (almost but basically there)

Splatoon 2 had 2 story modes and side order dropped along with the season, making 3 having 2 story modes as well

Salmon Run immediately right off the bat was better than splatoon 2 (in game feel, for content, we got more maps than 2 with Jammin' Salmon Junction last year)

S2 had 161 gear items, S3 breezed past it the last 2 seasons and has over 220

S2 had 27/31 splatfests (depending on who you ask). S3 had 15 splatfests, 6 big runs, and 4 eggstra works giving a total of about 25 events in game plus 25 unique challenges!!!! but this season theres gonna be another splatfest probably and an eggstra work bringing the number of events not including challenges to 27

S2 had 16 music tracks which would play during ink battles, S3 just got 18. For splatfest songs S2 had 4, S3 just got its 5th.

If you're only looking at the sheer numbers of content i think this is now just the only time where you can confidently say splatoon 3 is now "more" than splatoon 2 which is really odd cuz it's been a year and a half. For a year and a half a game on the exact same console which a lot of people already owned had More content than Splatoon 3

Salmon run fans stay winning though

#what's even more insane is that we got two new whole weapon classes and we're somehow not beating S2? insane.

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

#I didn't know this about his name. this is fucked 💀

Absolutely adore how Marcille's entire spellbook seems to consist of only the most unhinged spells in existence. Like it seems like her entire magical arsenal is comprised of only the barest minimum of healing spells that she was probably required to learn in school, and then Fireball, Police Flash Grenade, Crime Against Nature, Spam Fireball, Unholy Resurrection, More Fireball, and 9th Level Go Fuck Yourself.

the farcille tag is so funny because you'll get shippers posting these cropped single panels from the manga captioned "there's no heterosexual explanation for this" when like yeah actually, in context, it was a pretty normal thing to happen, but it's about a ship where there's like a fully canon, softcore porno yuri moment. like the girls are so used to being starved they don't know what to do with a meal.

marcille didn't even BLINK she saw falin transformed into a terrifying chimera with the blood of their allies splattered on her, holding one of their corpses like a sack of potatoes and she went "baby do you recognize me falin please talk to me it's ok guys she's just a little confused" i mean marcille honey i love you but your girlfriend has a milf crushed under her newly acquired dragon claw

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes
