btw this is probably one of the most insane and telling scenes in regards to stewy nd kendall. like the stewy-marcia interaction first off. the way it’s so clearly paralleling kenstewy with logan and marcia. stewy and marcia literally watch their respective persons in silence. also important to note that stewy was one of the first ppl to greet logan when he arrived probably bc he knew that one of the first things logan was going to do was approach kendall and he wanted to get in there first to gauge the situation + logan. but stewy’s concern for kendall in regards to what could happen when he’s in close proximity to logan is so clear and almost synonymous with marcia’s own concern/love for logan at this point. like it seems intentional that they were shown to be like. logan and kendall’s respective partners here

i had a dream last night that i reached building the railway and the start of it was mr fires inviting the PC to a masquerade ball via a very flirtatious letter. i was posting i was excited for it, i sent asks like "damn i get why you like mr fires now" and everyone was laughing like "just wait"
but the ball was a coverup bc while fires is dancing with you he was talking railway strategy the entire time. you spend so much money on your outfit and he just shows up in the same robe. it was a trend to draw your character super dolled up next to 0 effort mr fires
for some reason not going to the ball was devastating to me and i decided i had a vendetta against mr fires. i woke up genuinely convinced it was real

something i don't see people talking about is the way hyperfixations come in like stages and cycles like it's not just "i'm obsessed with this thing" it's like. euphoria from finding something new and it brings you so much joy and then as that initial dopamine rush wears off you start to get more and more down and feel isolated as you start to realise that no one else cares about it as much as you do and you feel silly for being so into it and the thoughts become repetitive and boring so you get more and more depressed and lonely and then you inevitably lose the hyperfix which leaves you drifting feeling miserable and hopeless until you start the cycle again. idk if i explained this well or if other people will understand but it brings genuine phases of euphoria and straight up depression and this is why i get annoyed when neurotypicals use words like hyperfixation to describe like, an interest. bc it's not. just an interest it becomes who you are and when you lose it it's like losing yourself and you spend so much energy thinking about it that it interrupts your daily life and it's so fucking draining 👍

fucking LOVE happy queer revelations. you mean to tell me this character goes through the whole "oh i like women. i like men. I don't think I'm as straight or as cisgender as I thought I was" arc WITHOUT ANGST???? they get to ask their already-out friends and colleagues and even love interest????? they get to develop a healthy identity uninterrupted by the heavy burden of societal prejudices and just explore for the sake of experiencing different things?????
amazing.

although i have a lot of hard feelings about romance novels and often come out of them 9/10 times with hatred and embarrassment laced into my heart i do think most people can agree that romance novels at large have developed in response to the control over people's sexual lives and how that's subsequently led to a desperate desire from the sexually repressed to be equal participants in a sexual environment. it's not so much that women want to be in relationships with dominant men to whom they play housewife or baby incubator or worse. it's that women want to be in relationships at all. and because the standard for relationships at large is the nuclear family, this is what subsequently shows up in your literature. why do you think religious women in particular are such a huge audience for romance novels despite the often conservative environment they grow up in? it's bc the consumption of romance novels does not exist in spite of that conservatism but bc of it. to be gatekept from any expression of sexual desire until you marry or until you fornicate for the purposes of having a child is to breed in young women a desire for what we would now no longer consider practices entailing any self-respect. you're kept in an ideological cage all of your life, naturally you reach for what's immediately out of reach rather than consider that there could be more out there that is available to you. it sucks! it's sad, it's horrific, it makes me wanna cry. but i can also never quite blame women for it bc they're not the ones who've created this environment of sexual conservatism (ie the real puritan culture, the one that hypersexualizes virgins by obsessively protecting their chastity prior to marriage bc said chastity can only ever belong to one man). man has. religion has. patriarchy has. why would i focus my hatred on women who are merely coping with the status quo rather than the systems in place that we actually have to change to allow for more sexual freedom and agency?

it is really fucking insane that someone compared my stance against cops being defined as 'laborers' to the swerf argument that sex work isn't labor, on my own post, considering the fact that i am literally a sexworker. like, do any of you actually hear yourselves? what labor are cops providing? militarized violence against black people? is that labor to you? do you really think that's comparable to manufacturing work? to teaching? to plumbers and electricians? to sex work? to anyone in the working class? are you fucking kidding me? are you for real? are you seriously for fucking real?! police unions are not labor unions. they're police unions; that's what i said. this is not a fucking "no true scotsman" or "shifting goalpost" argument, and if you're accusing that stance of being those things, you do not understand what "labor" means! you don't!

I know this is silly but like. There’s something about Trigun. Vash is just so… trans. Seeing him actively rebel against what everyone makes him out to be is. Something. He feels so real to me. “When did we become so different?” is something I think about a lot in my own life.
I guess the finale of stampede just gives me this rush I can’t stop thinking about. I felt seen. The person he should be able to trust, be able to talk to, be able to relate to, sees him as misguided. Foolish. More importantly though, Vash is an object instead of a person in that to them, and he says “fuck that” all while holding empathy for them. It’s ugly and sad and self destructive and so real.
Anyway, what i’m saying is if he can do it. Maybe, maybe I can start being brave about my gender. I’m sick of stuffing myself back in the closet for family that thinks I’m a Poor Little Girl. I’m 21. I have been out to my parents for 7 years. I’m going to say what I need to say and I’m gonna start defending myself.
