#A Funny Way of Saying Hello

[ky-the-squiddy]

Every so often I come across people going on about 'queer is a bad word, I'm not a terf but we shouldn't use that word in community/academic/etc settings, don't call me queer' and just

Okay

You're not queer

I won't call you that, no one should call you that, and anyone that does is being an asshole regardless of their identity or minority status. It doesn't matter what reasoning you have behind not wanting to be labelled as queer, what trauma you may or may not have, what you've identified as in the past and present, and whether or not your preference just comes to not liking the vibe of the word for entirely inscrutible reasons. No one has any right to pry.

If you say you're not queer, then you're not queer, and that's okay.

It just also means that if I, a queer person, talk about the queer community, then I'm not referring to you. If an academic refers to queer history and queer texts written by queer people about other queer people, they're also not talking about you. If a corporation starts using 'queer' in their ads then they can eat shit because fuck 'em, they have no fucking right to use our words when they aren't and have never been one of us, but if a well-meaning ally uses 'queer' as a one-syllable shorthand for LGBTQIA+ in a verbal conversation, then there's no reason for you to get any more annoyed at them as you would if they used the word 'gay' instead.

You have every single right to be labelled or not labelled as you like, and I will stand behind you all the way. If someone is trying to shove 'queer' on you when you really don't want it? Then I will happily, metaphorically, deck them in the face for you. We are still family, whatever you choose to call yourself, and it's important that we stick together.

But

If you aren't queer, and you get frustrated when you see queer people talking about the queer community, take a deep breath, and consider:

They aren't talking about you

#ky stuff #grumble grumble grumble #i'm not going to go into any of the reasons that people could not want to use the word queer #because y'know what #they're valid! #and i trust people to know their own minds and emotions! #i'm not here to persuade you otherwise right now #or ask you to examine your feelings and double-check for terf brainworms #my current irritation is 100% people misunderstanding that when we go on 'queer is good actually' rants #we don't mean everyone needs to use it zero choice zero leeway you're all queer now #anyway fave LGBTQ+ verbal shorthand is 'alphabet soup' #or 'alphabet community' #*way* too casual for academia but very fun to say #also hello dear reader if you're this far into the tags and i still have your attention #please have this rat as a token of my gratitude -> ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ #(geddit?) #(gRATitude???) #(I'm Funny)

[introspectivememories]

okay so i know that dash baxter barely gets any character development in the show but like the idea that danny hates dash? boo, lame, overdone!!!! danny who can beat dash up and dash knows this and everyone knows this but by god danny needs something normal to cling on to so dash shoves him in a locker everyday?? yeah that's the good shit

#like danny more than anything wants to be normal except he is schrodinger;s person so he'll never be normal #but dash still shoves him in the locker everyday and dash still gives him swirlies and dash still calls him 'fen-twerp' #so he's still a normal teen... right? #dash doesn't bully danny for a day and he watches the way danny get progressively worse throughout the day #dash bewildered: is he like- going through bully withdrawls??? #tucker exhausted after 2nd period: dude can you just like shove him into a locker or smth? #dash: i'm trying to be better!! kwan says that i am being too much these days #sam also exhausted: be better after danny graduates #also the idea of like dash bullying danny is their way of saying 'hello' is sooo funny to me #danny as he's getting shoved into a locker: so how's your mom? #dash: better now but like that cough isn' going away yknow? #danny contorting himself to fit in the locker better: you should take her to dr. esperanza later. i heard the flu's going around #dash closing the door: alr thanks for the tip. stay in there for at least 5 minutes #danny preparing to nap: whatever #dp #danny phantom #danny fenton #dash baxter #swagger bishie #teddy ghost #dandash #ig i'll tag those bc i am a pretty big swagger bishie shipper but you could totally read this as platonic

[jacksprostate]

thinking about the quick montage of the narrator without or in the place of Tyler in the movie. I could watch an extended version of that for hours

#fight club #in particular i find the way ed norton says the “you are not your job!!!!!” lines extremely funny #like hello everyone this is my pet yorkie. he thinks he's a great dane

[narwhalandchill]

oh my fucking god i feel. SO stupid rn at How i didnt make the (super sane very normal just absolutely. Yes. Surely) connection earlier but uhh

so anyway im now like 89% certain that whatever the "traces" of the narwhal that remain on ajax and facilitate their (ever-growing) innate connection are like. an actually fundamental aspect of it (them?) more or less.

why? because if you consider its pov just for a moment. the narwhal was literally about to depart teyvat for good. it had nearly finished consuming the primordial sea and preparing to breach surface to finish the job by eating the french for the leftovers their human bodies were made from. its an interstellar voyager it does not linger on planets it devours. it goes glug glug and it leaves.

and like if it wasnt for traveler intervening its confirmed through narzissenkreuz and renes world formula that teyvat wouldve just been destroyed. no one could have stopped the narwhal not neuvillette not focalors not anyone.

so what was the one other thing it did right before going for that french brunch? calling for ajax. getting them reunited in the primordial sea. like all the possible implications aside bc theres many different ways to speculate on the exact reasons why and the nature of that link. the point remains.

it wasnt leaving teyvat without finding him.

like the narwhal is about to fucking Dip from this cringe planet and whatever part of it that ajax carries within himself his narwhal Absolutely wanted to be reunited with. what the fuck am i supposed to read from that. hoyo???????!??! answers?!?!?!

and its not only the calling from the narwhal side itself either bc this is ALL coinciding with the growth of a 'restless power' within ajax and his vision malfunctioning (the things celestia is literally confirmed to harvest energy thru to repair its damaged authority) and his connection with the narwhal reaching an actual conscious level (arguably subconscious n emotional too bc i find it Curious his mood is poor right as the narwhal is repeatedly described as positively malding to the point its boss fight mechanic is literally a rage meter). ajax' power is growing. his destiny is starting to shift and something is drawing him to fontaine... right as the narwhal is getting close to finished with the primordial sea. funny how it overlaps eh. how it aligns 🤨🤨 why are they orbiting each other like this (they should kiss)

(& not to even Mention how ajax just Happened to get that absolutely exponential and borderline unbelievable feat of power spike in extending his foul legacy endurance as massively as he did. while. within the primordial sea. with his narwhal. who had at that point all but incorporated the power of that sea into itself. i s2g if childe was getting passive home turf co-op bonus exp with a 4x multiplier automatically the whole 40+ days 💀💀)

#man the way its lovely reunion but tjen ajax fucking ATTACKS IT ON SIGHT you couldve gotten married!!!!11!1 fucking unbearable i am in agony #anyway contrary to popular belief we still have no fucking clue whether ajax' link to the narwhal was innate #skirk saying the traces remain on him after meeting it isnt saying tht much. the parts he shares w it couldve well been innate but dormant #instead. also just the fact that he woke it up already shady #then like. monoceros caeli being his from the beginning is completely plausible despite ppl acting like its been confirmed his const change #and like them being halves of the same entity on some lvl would make the narwhal being so weak without him n until ajax found it again #make very much. sense. anyway ajax toxicity jokes aside if the narwhal was just trying to eat him point blank without even a hello #i do get why hed react aggressively. but also bros been telling everyone n their mom hes fighting his narwhal the seconf he finds it again😔 #so i feel somewhat confident in assuming he started that 40+ days brawl #anyway if ajax Isnt the celestial narwhal on some level or possibly becoming it as their link grows. #riddle me this atheists. why is his 3rd phase boss theme. the song about His individual murderous rage at us #bc he thought he was outplayed by us. His personal wrath #whys the song for that called the wrath of the celestial narwhal. of the star swallowing whale. Hmmmge. his individual rage. #why does tusk of monoceros caeli speak of him embracing the narwhals innate qualities as embracing mere parts of Himself #funny how tjat goes!! (the OST n boss drop is not 100% serious theory but it does drive me insane. bc why would they phrase it like that) #anyway either theyre 2 halves same original entity or theyre soulmates idgaf . they should fold teyvat in half and eat it for brunch #aaand im going to be consumed by this realization for the next month wish me luck #WHY DID IT NEED HIM THERE SO BADLY???? HUH?????? #i mean relatable dont we all. but its sooooooooo inch resting. Curious indeed #rambles #genshin #childeposting #childe

Night comes to the camp.

Azul tries to be polite... in the way he understands what “polite” may be in this situation.

#twisted wonderland #azul ashengrotto #idia shroud #jade leech #idiazul #twst #well #this was a bit harder to translate than previous ones haha--- #I'm still not sure if it makes sense!!! tell me if it doesn't!!! #I love the camp event #especially the second part aHAHA- #I never made art or comic about Idia finding the Amazing Stick That Gives Him +50 ATK #but this joke is already brilliant and I feel like I can't really contribute to it #so I think of other possible stupid and funny scenarios instead #and this is what I came up with. enjoy. #azul is awkward and idia is a scaredy-cat #also azul can't face the fact that HE's being the weird one here #well when you're a mermaid on land you're bound to do something seemingly 'weird' now and then huh #something like... agressively scratching your boyfriend's tent like you're a monster from the woods. #what an odd way to say hello I'm here #well... he's trying his best

My favorite part of Fear Of Victory is that when Scarecrow escaped the asylum, no one, not a SINGLE other rogue ratted him out, despite the fact that a lot of them probably don't even like him. They ALL kept their mouths shut for however long Scarecrow was gone (this also implies horrible care of the inmates in Arkham cuz no one noticed he was gone, but we could already guess that much). The ENTIRE asylum. RESPECT

#I love btas scarecrow he's such a funny stinky old man #That moment in Harleys Holiday where he's SCREAMING at batman and robin with his superiority complex at full display #And just stops midway to say hello to Harley in a nice way and then continues to rant about how he's a god #It lives in my head rent free #He may not have depth but he has my heart. And enough respect from the other rogues to not rat him out apparently #Btas #batman: the animated series #batman the animated series #btas scarecrow #jonathan crane #I Needed more moments with the rogues having relationships and interactions with each other istg

[sonknuxadow]

remember when people were so desperate to make everything about sonadow that when that one sonic prime scene had sonic say he loves captains specifically in reference to knuckles in a scene that did not involve shadow at all people immediately threw knuckles aside and made it about the fucking. sonic and shadow pirate skins from sonic dash . literally cannot make this stuff up

#like some people were making it about knuckles And shadow #but i saw a lot of people treating it as exclusively a sonic and shadow thing like hellloooo where am i . that was about knuckles #but either way. i saw more posts about it involving shadow than posts that were just about knuckles #well the posts that made it into a sonic and knuckles and shadow thing were a bit less annoying #than the ones that made it about Just shadow but its still like . why do you all have to make everything about so/nadow #also pirate shadow was literlaly just a skin in a mobile game that barely anyone plays #pirate knuckles is real hes in one of the tv shows . hello why is pirate shadow taking priority here in peoples minds #and to be clear im not saying this in a ''haha you guys are so funny and quirky'' sort of way #im saying it in a ''wow you guys are annoying why do you have to make literally everything about your ship'' sort of way

Harls: “Halloween decorations. Thanksgiving decorations… Christmas decorations.”

Wedge: “You wait ‘till November 1st, dude?”

“How long you have a Christmas tree up for?”

“Like, four months.”

“… Why. Way too long.”

“It’s beautiful! And it’s big and it lights up my living room and it’s good for movies. My wife likes it so I do what she says.”

“There you go. There it is, there’s the answer.”

[katnissgirlsmakedo]

i don’t mean this to sound homophobic or whatever but some queer people literally cannot conceptualize that they actively look down on things they consider “basic” or “straight” with an insane level of contempt no matter how much they say they support everyone and everything. like. if i tell you i love riverdale because it’s campy and fun and you give me that look of disgust because you perceive riverdale as some basic lame straight people show. that’s not very like. nice. and then you refuse to hear me out in my show’s defense… and you just wave me off with a “whatever like whatever you like” but you’re still looking at me like i’ve just ordered a pumpkin spice latte while wearing ugg boots and listening to taylor swift. like at a certain point when will you admit you’re not actually very nice about people’s interests that don’t align with yours.

#i just brought up wonka to my friend and she immediately went into how much she doesn’t like timothee chalamet and she would never see this #stupid movie because she thinks he’s so annoying and da da da. #and i was like. well actually i love timothee chalamet i think he’s funny and i’d love to see him in a bad musical… #and i brought this up. because i was GOING to lead into asking her to see it with me so we could laugh at all the stupid parts together #and i didn’t even get there because she was frankly just such a hater #this is the real life friend who just followed me on letterboxd btw #i’m considering blocking her honestly because like. i do not vibe with the way she uses that website and i do not think it needs to be a #social media thing for us. it’s a little insane actually that she would actively want to follow me on there and then her own profile is so. #like it’s mean to say her profile sucks but she doesn’t have a picture or favorites and she doesn’t leave reviews and like. what am i #following you for!!!! why do you use this website!!!! #and i literally said to her girl your profile is a bit lame at least add a picture #and she got so mad at me for this as if i’d just suggested killing her boyfriend #which frankly i do want to do but that’s neither here nor there #like what do you think is going to happen to you if you pick four movies to represent your taste on the movie website. #if you put a little jpeg of a character you enjoy as your pfp. if you maybe express an opinion on something you saw #what fo you think will happen to you if you do those things. #and why. if you’re not going to do those things. did you need to follow ME. who does!!! #and get all up in MY movies and MY opinions and MY head while giving me nothing back…. #like. i say some shit on there ok why does she get to read that but all i get is. ‘watched some czech film from 1965 on december 14th’ #like hello. hi. hello.
