#I’m trying to correct them

[tesco-finest-aromantics]

i feel like the queer community lost when we started policing labels and making sure everyone used the Correct™ labels instead of letting a person decide what feels right for them

#caique posts #inspired by a post a trans guy made asking if it was okay for him to keep identifying as a lesbian even though he’s now a man #and all the comments telling him no because lesbians can’t be men #and also all the other posts of people asking if they’re ''allowed'' to use certain labels #why do you need permission? #who are you even asking permission from? #we’re not cops #do whatever you want forvever #also inspired by an article in a zine in the 80s/90s of two FtMs in a T4T relationship #one of them described the relationship as being between a butch and his sissy boy #i cannot ever imagine anyone calling themselves that nowadays #because of ''only lesbians can be butches'' and ''sissy is offensive'' discourse #i’m sure there are people out there who would want to describe their relationship like that but don’t feel they’re ''allowed'' to #anyway lots of baby queers are tying themselves in knots trying to figure themselves out #and they’re more concerned with using the Correct™ label instead of the one they feel most comfortable with #yeah i just don’t like it #knowing you’re queer should be a liberating feeling #instead of something anxiety-inducing because you’re worried if you’re using labels wrong

Think I’m making communication a non-negotiable for 2024. If you don’t know how to properly communicate like an adult we quite literally can’t be friends

#I’m not trying to be a bitch like I get that this is hard for lots of people for various reasons #i think I’m just at a point where I want people to come correct instead of waiting for them to potentially get better #only for me to learn in the harshest way that they’re only getting worse #I’m not gonna be ur practice run this year. come when ur ready #the moment I sense someone isn’t saying what they mean it’s so over. like I’m flexible on so many flaws but NOT this one. communicate !!! #the people pleasing is literally kicking in rn but I’m just trying to be honest w myself about what my capacity can handle at the moment #and I’m genuinely at my wits’ end when it comes to communication. so I don’t think I’d be the best person for people like that #is this mean?? this feels like a fair boundary to make #p

Can’t you see I’m trying to get some sun… sunlight on the skin ☀️

#me #lol #hey hey hey you guys #I know you’ve come to expect it from me #and yes I’m disappointed too #but I can’t help but feel so bitter and jealous #when I’m on twitter tumblr Instagram Grindr etc #seeing all these (hot) gays be them friends or those I don’t know personally thriving and receiving so much attention etc #and you’re gonna say Mr Ole?? you should shut the fuck up you’re hot etc and whilst I’m trying to accept that (idk if that’s correct but) #idk… I’m just bored of being BORED and BITTER #Like I miss when I was fun #don’t get me wrong #okay I was gonna go off but then realised no one’s reading this

idk but I feel like if you’re a YouTuber/podcaster with the ability to edit before you publish, you shouldn’t make a big joke about how you can’t pronounce people’s names and act like it’s self-deprecating humor for you to keep getting it wrong and you should instead maybe look up how to say it before you record and edit in the correct pronunciation if you have to

#like I’m tired of this #it’s not funny at your expense no matter how much you try to make it #genuine flubs are fine and all but if you’re on screen stumbling for several seconds #maybe pause the fucking video and look it up and then record #like coming from someone who has a name that looks like it’s easy to pronounce in English #but is actually very different when pronounced in french #I’m not gonna get mad at people for getting it wrong without meaning #I am gonna correct them tho

[worm-in-a-trenchcoat]

Everytime someone points out something racist or not quite right in this fandom there’s always that small group of people that are like “um actually I don’t believe this, you’re proof isn’t good enough” or people just telling us that we’re wrong, when we literally aren’t 💀.

First with people saying Miia Harris is too light skinned to play Clawdeen and people saying she’s not, when she literally… is? Like there’s no denying that she is. The girl is nearly white passing, idc what y’all say.

Then when Clawdeen’s Gen3 dolls dropped and lots of people pointed out that her new doll is lighter than her OG Gen1 doll, a pretty decent amount of people (who didn’t own her new dolls) were disagreeing and calling us liars. When like, we had the dolls in person and could see the difference side by side very clearly?? Even doll YouTubers were pointing it out ffs.

And now people are pointing out that the werewolves are being (not necessarily deliberately but-) whitewashed, skin tone wise and facial feature wise. If you watch any episode where they go from wolf to human you can see it, it’s right there. It may not be the most blatant thing, but it’s there. And yet, we’re still hit with the “I need more proof” like?? Watch the fucking show yourself and look at the characters with your eyeballs?? It’s right there.

I don’t get it, like what is the deal? 💀

This isn’t a call out to any specific accounts, it’s just a pattern I’ve noticed that I’m sick of.

#monster high #clawdeen wolf #rant #fact checking someone when they’re actually wrong about something is one thing #and I always try to make sure I’m right about these things before I point them out #and if I’m wrong I admit that #but trying to fact check someone when they’re 100% correct and you can see it for yourself if you just looked for yourself?? #is weird #and fucking annoying #there’s more examples of this I’m sure #but you get the point

that gifset with porsche getting taken away, did you notice that ken's finger is on the trigger while big's isn't?

i did NOT notice that but now i am certainly noticing it Very Much 🫠 thank u anon

#oooof! #no one try and tell me it’s just a coincidence and just perth and nodt having different resting grips on the gun ok i’m not interested #anon has corrected the dots. they’ve connected them. #ask #darcey.txt #edit: i made a gif to demonstrate hehe #kinnporsche #big kp #ken kp #nodt nutthasid #perth nakhun #kp posting

Ooooh, Pierre is serious about Maximus. He’s still a little transactional like how he treats most relationships it seems, but he does care and has feelings. Right now it’s more sex than relationship but he wants it to grow into love. Also, and please forgive me if I’m wrong because I’m going by translator, but it seems he wants to exchange a creative motor for their relationship being a little more committed.

#QSMP #in a weird way #it’s endearing to me #seeing Pierre try at love #I don’t know if it counts as character analysis if I’m only somewhat sure if what is being said #also feel free to correct my understanding #someone told me my last post about French streamers was accurate and it’s made me more bold to talk about them

Rating each hermit’s likelihood of being a furry

scar keeps getting furry allegations so i thought i’d make this post

Joe Hills - 7/10 he doesn’t really consider himself part of the community but he has a sparkledog sona and dresses up in his homemade diy fursuit sometimes. he respects furries deeply and does not tolerate hate towards them

Xisuma - 8/10 totally a furry he changes his skin all the time to dress up as the latest minecraft mob. he already has a “cringe” oc (evil x). he doesn’t even know what a furry is i think but he probably owns a fursuit anyway because he thinks its neat

Hypno - 3/10 he’d say no but give him cat ears to match with max and he’ll be wearing them every stream from now on

Keralis - 2/10 pretends to not know what a furry is but he does. he does.

Mumbo - 1/10 logically he would know of furries due to his young age and activeness online but i don’t believe he does, he has never heard of a furry and never will

Cleo - 6/10 with enough encouragement she’d wear a fursuit. maybe if joe made one for them. she’s got a vtuber avatar so this is just next in the pipeline i think

Jevin - 3/10 he isn’t one but he does have a non-human character which technically qualifies him as one. instead of a fursuit i think he’d have to coat himself in jelly or something

False - 3/10 she already dresses up as a banana on stream how far away is dressing up as an anthropomorphic animal you must ask yourself. plants and animals had their last common ancestor 1.6 billion years ago, keep this in mind

Tango - 7/10 his fursona is an evil ravager named “skadoodler evil the third” and mrs tango has a matching fursona and they do that furry couple thing of commissioning art of their ocs kissing

xB - 4/10 not one but I don’t think he’d be opposed to the idea of being a furry. i think ferks could be a furry

Impulse - 4/10 i was gonna say no but then i remembered the imp + skizz cat fursona thumbnail

Etho - 3/10 he isn’t a furry but he is a weeb. maybe he’d wear like a fox tail or something

Doc - 9/10 he has an oc which is half creeper half robot half goat and has butterfly wings and is an evil scientist. this guy knows cringe is dead and is living his life playing as his middle aged man Mary Sue fursona

Ren - 10/10 “ren the DOG” 🤨? this is confirmed his minecraft skin has fucking dog ears

Wels - 5/10 he is not a furry but i like to think he’s a LARPer irl and has a knightsona so he gets an honourable mention.

Iskall - 2/10 i could see him wearing cat ears, only as a joke though

Cub - 7/10 “cub”? “wolf pack”? furry cub just makes sense and he’d be an epic furry. the world isn’t ready for furry cub

Scar - 9/10 the other hermits call him a furry for a reason. his fursona is anthro jelly i guess. there are so many disney movies revolving around anthropomorphic animals this is natural

Beef - 3/10 he never truly becomes a furry but at night he daydreams about what his cool llama fursona would look like. he peaks a little at furry art but is never brave enough to venture further. in another lifetime maybe…

Bdubs - 8/10 he seems disproportionally offended at allegations he’s a furry and is incredibly obsessed with horses. furry with internalised furry hate i think

Stress - 2/10 i think she’d find the idea of furries cute and funny but wouldn’t be one

Zedaph - 9/10 you’d see him rocking up to furcon. his fursona would be a weirdass sheep worm hybrid

Grian - 4/10 i can see it. despite fan interpretation, i don’t think he’d be a parrot though i think he’d be a cat tbh

Gem - 7/10 she would have the cutest most cottagecore deer fursona of all time and it would have a beautiful design and outfit and bi flag. she’d get a vtuber model and a custom fursuit and art made. it is insane to me that this hasn’t happened yet

Pearl - 5/10 she isn’t but she does seem like the kind of woman who was obsessed with wolves at the age of 12 and has never outgrown that. also double life pearl deserves to be a beautiful silver wolf

#no hate to furries. I’m practically a furry. the furry community is great. cringe is dead. this is satire. etc. #as always though i am completely correct #inspired by the recent etho asking scar if hes a furry clip and bdubs saying scar is trying to make them furries #locus fandom time #hermitcraft #mcyt #hermitblr #put a readmore thing to stop this getting too long when people scroll my blog

interested in disco elysium fic now but only because I want to cut harry open with a scalpel & examine his internalized homophobia

#& more specifically. i’m leaning hard into harry’s Athletics & #I want to see the full extant of the damage from presumably being an adolescent boy in spaces full of homophobes (sports teams) #having the slightest hints of effeminacy criticized demeaned corrected #seeing other queer boys/men get treated worse & trying to keep himself from looking or acting like Them #& then going on to be a PE teacher………… #in my mind it’s very. hmm. harry perpetuating homophobia/toxic masculinity explicitly because he knows what happens to fags in high school #& if he had to repress it to keep himself safe then obviously these teenagers need to learn to do the same #constantly coming back to tht conversation with diana a million years ago #fuck dads dot com yknow

[softestepilogue]

y’all keep saying how y’all hope ed becomes redeemable and like who tf cares he did anything wrong lmao. pushing Lucius overboard? hilarious. stranding the crew? hysterical. chopping off iffy’s toes? comedic af. y’all always so worried about a character being redeemable or morally right and it’s exhausting. that’s why modern books are what they are now. boring and lame af. ed is morally gray. he’s always been morally gray. he don’t like killin but he likes maimin and he has anger issues. and he’s hilarious when he does all of it.

#ed teach #ofmd #our flag means death #for the love of god just have fun #y’all always worried about a character being redeemable so y’all can morally like them #it’s so weird cause they’re fictional #my fave characters are the ones who morally gray #idc what anyone says they are 100% more interesting when written well #if you like ed just like him lol #you don’t need to jump through hoops to like him just do it #idk how y’all managed to turn a comedy show into something so serious but y’all did it #this is tumblr tho so idk why i’m so surprised #this is why modern books are unbearable to read #cause millennials started publishing and are too pc to write interesting characters #also stede is literally trying to be morally gray #tumblr once again just sucking the fun out of everything #y’all are like that one friend who shows up while y’all are having fun and they correct someone to be pc and just always ruins the vibe #also PS i mean morally gray characters that are well written and not the morally gray characters that are white men y’all want to fuck #there is a HUGE difference #op

[fugaciousgloom]

I just realized that, even though qBrunim still thinks of qForever as his fiancé, qForever has been calling him his ex?? If I’m remembering that correctly??

#need Brunim on the Qsmp #not only because he would just fit so well and be so much fun for the story and stuff #but also so I can witness the Brunim and Forever dynamic #and the Bad and Brunim dynamic I miss them :(. #qsmp #qsmp brunim #qsmp forever #also #please correct me if I’m wrong about forever calling Brunim his ex #bc I remember that from the forever trying to get with Philza arc #but I could be wrong

It’s very late and I am very tired but I keep on thinking about the idea that Jazz works in Arkham Asylum.

People keep writing her talking with The Joker but I would LOVE to see Jazz dissect some a tad lesser known Batman villains.

WARNING: underneath is some mentions of human trafficking, obsessive behavior, & pyromania.

The Calendar Man. Julius Day. Committed crimes on special dates/holidays. Talking about why he is so obsessed with Calendars. He’s obsessed with dates because they’re the only structure that he thinks is unchangable. You can’t change dates.

The Ventriloquist. Arnold Wesker. Has multiple personalities. The other personality being the puppet mobster Scarface. Scarface is a scarily intelligent and violent man. It’s a very interesting dichotomy of the puppet controlling the man instead of the other way around. Arnold is a bystander and almost an unwilling lackey to Scarface’s crimes. Elaborating on the relief and grief that Arnold feels when Scarface gets destroyed. How it affects him. Why he uses a sock puppet at an alternative.

Firefly. Garfield Lynns. How his pyromania consumes his life. His visions he sees in the flames. Why he chose to indulge his pyromania when he was robbing places to get money he desperately needed.

Mad Hatter. Jervis Tetch. Talking about his obsession with Alice in Wonderland. His human trafficking with his ‘Alice’s’. His schizophrenia possible treatments to help. His obsession with his hat.

Stuff of the sort you know? Picking apart villains and how they tick and figuring out a way to help them. It would be such an incredible deep dive into the villains psyche.

#dp x dc #writing prompt #prompt #danny phantom #jazz Fenton #dc comics #they’re such interesting characters and seeing someone try to take a crack at writing them would be so cool #Jazz interviewing someone that ISNT the joker and helping the inmates get more mentally stable is my dream fic #I’m no psychologist but I tried my best to give a short summary of what each villian has going on #please correct me if I’m wrong

Mom: “God why do you give up so easily you can’t expect to be perfect immediately”

well you see mother when I’m not perfect immediately you burst into flames and bite my head off

#Angery #Ranting time but I’m getting yelled at for missing an “easy” mcat question #For misunderstanding how it was written/what it was asking #Like I’m looking at the answer explanation which was basically “it’s correct bc it’s the right answer :)” #And no one’s talking abt it on the internet #So made the fatal mistake of making an off handed comment abt how subjective some of these answers can be #To which she demands to read it and try to “help” #Then is getting angrier and angrier when telling me why it’s correct in a progressively louder voice doesn’t make me instantly get it #Like HEY! I KNOW I made a mistake! If I was perfect at it I wouldn’t need to practice! #That is the WHOLE POINT #But yelling at someone abt it isn’t going to make them ~better~ #Also side note but bringing up a creative writing award I won in 10th grade as evidence of how I should be “better than this” is like wtf #Yes I won an award bc the teacher liked me and I wrote some bullshit #It’s not exactly reading an mcat level psychology/sociology passage #once again remembering why I hated those few years of being homeschooled

oh my god, tell us more (about the arm tankhun fake dating fic in your head), please! :D

OKAY so the concept is. about 6 months post-canon, the main and minor families are invited to the destination wedding of one of their allies from a hugely powerful mafia family - it's a few nights staying on a private tropical island, and as a respect/trust/hospitality thing, it would be considered really inappropriate for guests to bring more than one or two bodyguards per group.

so Tankhun is like “well then obviously I can’t go?” because while he is now much better at leaving the house, he’s not quite ‘get on a plane and fly to a random island for several days of intense socialisation with incredibly dangerous near-strangers without a single Trusted Bodyguard’ levels of better.

he’s talking to Chay about it and Chay's like “yeah, it's kind of fucked up that everyone gets a +1 but not a bodyguard. how would anyone even know if your +1 was your bodyguard?!” and Tankhun's like “.....Chay you're a genius. Arm, I need you to be my wedding date.”

commence the fake dating shenanigans! they ‘reveal’ their secret, long-term relationship to the entire family, and then they’ve got to pretend to be a couple in front of everyone while Arm actually works as Tankhun’s bodyguard. as the only other person who knows their relationship isn’t real, Chay is helping to mastermind the entire operation. what Chay also knows is that Khun does actually have very real and Not Fake feelings for Arm - and you can be sure he’s going to be a menace about it.

luckily, Khun is being just as much of a menace in return - the wedding is the first time Kim and Chay have been in the same room since… well, everything, and Tankhun has watched them both silently pine for each other for long enough. background KimChay reconciliation era my beloved!

and so the usual fake dating antics ensue! lots of pining… plenty of acting out intimacy while wishing it was genuine… Chay putting them in so many Situations… lines slowly blurring between what is part of the act and what is real… and. obviously. there was only one bed.

🥰 thank u so much for indulging me, i love talking about blorbos from my shows and my silly story ideas for them! i came up with this with @aikinn and @thewholedamnboulangerie during some kind of group astral plane projection, which makes it especially delicious as they always have the best and most objectively correct Tankhun takes 💪

my brain is currently on 24/7 armtankhun lockdown soooo if u have thoughts about Them… pls… i would like to eat them…

#I TRIED TO WRITE ‘I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THEM’ BUT I MISTYPED AND MY PHONE CORRECTED IT TO ‘I WOULD LIKE TO EAT THEM’ #but that’s better than what i wanted to write so. keeping it. i want to eat them. #also #i am actually writing this so i didn’t want to spoil anything too much lmao #but OUGH I have the whole story worked out and sooo many thoughts and ideas for scenes and plot points and details #i’m just very excited about it hehehe 🥰 #thank u again for sending this sorry it took so long to respond #i have been trying to turn my response from an essay into… a reasonable amount of information to ramble ffjskcjdn #ask #anon #darcey.txt #breakable heaven #armtankhun #darcey.fic #kp posting

HM! WELL! #I know this is a crazy wild absolutely batshit suggestion #but when a man gets told what to do/corrected by women (who have all been doing this job SIGNIFICANTLY longer) #and his reaction to is to act like a little fucking disrespectful piss baby #WE JUST WRITE HIM UP LIKE WE WOULD ANYONE ELSE INSTEAD OF TRY TO APPEAL TO HIS FWAGIL TEENY TINY EGO #LIKE IDK SEEMS LIKE THE NORMAL COURSE OF ACTION TO ME????? #not make the androgynous goth bitch in their 20s try to correct him cuz I’m SOMEHOW less threatening #I’m read as a woman he’s gonna have the same damn reaction #I just. ugh.
