Anytime I use twitch and see that there's an LGBT+ tag I feel a little conflicted.

While I am certain that I am in an under-represented intersection of labels I also know that my art and activities are just normal things not specifically made to be LGBT content. Is it LGBT+ really content if I don't put effort into making it such, or is it an inherent trait imbued onto my works because I was the one that made it? If it's the latter then what does it mean for the community? Would labeling everything we do as being different from heteronormativity not be another form of alienation?

Is the act of me existing as a queer person reason enough for me to need a tag like a sign on my lawn or should require a level of specification in my works before I can earn it through consistency and intent?

Is it better to connect with people through traits or over all message?

It's such a seemingly little thing that I might test it out for a while to see what happens.

I'm bursting at the seams to talk about mike to anyone who will listen, but I feel exhausted just at the thought of explaining will

#mike wheeler #will byers #byler #stranger things #st4 #stranger things 4 #it's like at this point if you need detailed analysis on will you've got more problems than I can fix y'know? #explaing mike's queercoding to someone feels like you're socrates gifting the youth of athens with philosophical enlightenment #whereas being asked to explain why will is gay feels like you've spent the past 10 minutes #explaining something that someone should ALREADY understand #AND THEN you realize they weren't paying any attention and you've got to repeat literally everything #anyway this is a little bit related to my post from a few days ago about me rambling to my friend about mike #bc I know if she'd said ''explain will'' i'd've been like ''in the nicest way possible are you fucking blind?''

individualism and solitude is not natural to human living but sadly i have mental conditions that predispose me to being a hermit

#i dont mean just like being introverted or social anxiety or smth its much deeper #am NOT an individualist philosophically tho lol fuck individualism #but like its pretty likely that my life will end as one of those stupid assholes who goes off into the wilderness and then dies

Oooh! Who is this Marty fellow? He must mean a lot to Greg, if there’s a picture of him lying around. Greg looks much younger in the picture, it must be from quite a while ago. 

Come to think of it, we don’t know too much about Greg’s life beyond his interactions with Steven and the Gems (somewhat), him being a musician (and not super in-depth about that), and the car wash. We know a little here and there, but, not a whole lot. And I say “come to think of it”, as if I haven’t been wanting to learn more about Greg for a very long time. What other motivations and interests and stuff does the guy have?

Like, I don’t think Greg has ever brought up having any friends or family or anything like that before (except for his aunt and uncle, which was brief). It’d be neat to get some more info. 

#I semi understand why Greg is so concerned with his hair now #he looks so delightfully dorky in the photo #some day I want to talk about pictures and photos and videos and frames and representations of the past on SU #for instance #even in these few opening moments #there have been a few different photographs featured in shots #and sure maybe we can say that's Greg being messy or holding on to stuff from the past as he does #but then we also know there's a symbolic meaning to that right? #as shown by maximum capacity #and the choice to leave those pictures in the shots at all #like a way to allude to the past in a philosophical sense #buuut #it's way too early in the episode to being doing all that for no reason lol #I won't go super in depth #for now #what was my actual point #idk #just that it's interesting we have these images and relics of the past I guess #to be doing* #su liveblog #s1e49 #story for steven

[saccharinerose]

fanart of sjm characters is so funny bc most of the characters are literally only differentiated by hair style/color or eye color so fanart inevitable makes them look almost identical. we have feyre + her sisters looking like triplets, rhys and his 2 bat buddies looking like triplets and the protagonist from all sjm’s 3 series together looking like the same girl in different wigs

#still remembering the scene where sjm introduced cassian + azriel #and the only concrete physical diff between them and rhys is that he has blue-violet eyes and they have hazel eyes #and then she gets weirdly philosophical about actually describing their physical differences #cassian being ~rough-hewn~ and azriel being ~classically beautiful~ like ok? #but what does that actually mean? #no wonder people give them the exact same face #saccha's thoughts #anti sjm

I’d be lying if i said the outlook in the immediate future (the next few years) w/r/t climate change didn’t make me at least a little sue recital

#and I’m living with air conditioning! #tbh the worst part isn’t suffering the heat (for me at least) the worst part is watching it get worse and worse #after being alive for 2 decades of advocacy to prevent or at least delay this critical point and nothing being done bc $$$ #(it does help that on a philosophical level I do not feel my life has any importance a/o my experience on earth is ultimately meaningless) #(so idrc about it ending and I’d rather do that on my own terms than suffer) #(ESPECIALLY by incremental decline feeling it the whole time vs. just doing it myself to minimize #the agony right up until whatever the tipping point of obvious and undeniable agony hits)

[buglovescas]

Here‘s the THING. Dean commits to shit HARD. So it may take a second once Cas comes back from the empty, he may be a lil unsure for a while, how to and what to and is he allowed and- ? But once it’s established, once he got it? He GOT it. Like he will hold his hand at all times, he will call him his husband PROUDLY in front of people, oh my husband and I are going on a trip, my husband asked me to get some specific kind of soil for his flowers can you help me out? , my husband is such an angel (hehe). (He would also make the angel joke constantly and everyone who doesn’t know them would be perplexed by the matching set of eye-rolls from Sam and/or Cas). He would buy the flowers and the chocolates, he would totally ironically start yelling Honey, I‘m hoooOoome when he gets home but after a while it just kinda stops being ironic. He would take Cas on picnics in the park, he would allow him to get a cat begrudgingly (and eventually love that cat more than anyone else does, but that’s no one else’s business), he would let Cas pick the music when driving somewhere even though he sometimes absolutely despises the song choices but then he looks at Cas’ happy face? At Cas being content and looking out the window bopping his head a little and catching his eye giving him this soft smile, so happy, so real, so Cas right in front of him? And he would feel love burning through him so intensely he couldn’t even speak.

#deancas #Dean loves cas #i kinda figured out what my thesis is in regards to dean loving cas #like every time I post about dean loving Cas there’s a certain direction my posts always go and it finally occurred to me what it is #which is that Cas is a dork and a nerd a weird lil dude and dean fucking loves it he LOVES IT #HE LOVES being perplexed by shit cas says he having breakfast and contemplating philosophical questions with him #he loves indulging him in all the hobbies Cas takes up that dean can’t relate to #he loves being the one to make Cas feel good and feel loved he simply loves that shit and I can’t tell you why I know this #i just know that’s just DEAN like #i guess for one it’s that he’s a caretaker and thrives when being good to people in any way #but he also enjoys the absolute freeness cas has about him. I said before how cascore to me is simply not giving a shit at all #and he just does whatever the fuck he wants cause he’s not human he doesn’t know shame about these things #and Dean ? dean is a being CLOAKED in shame. there Are so many layers of shame to him there’s shame ABOUT the shame it’s a mess #is what it is #and seeing Cas be so happy with doing silly little hobbies and not CARING and wearing weird clothes and being soft and happy #and then also seeing Cas being a fucking badass who smites people and a huge dude (physically) who can manhandle the hell out of him #like That combination absolutely fries deans brain. he’s obsessed with it he fucking drowns in it

honestly thank God that aftg is centered around exy and not some real sport because let me tell you. I would not be able to take this seriously if Neil was risking his life out here for football or volleyball or freaking polo or basketball or even soccer or hockey.

because of the way Neil talks about exy, there's something so fantastical about it as an imaginary sport. like I know what it's like to play basketball and soccer and it's nice but it's hardly put-the-Mafia-on-my-ass-so-i-can-get-one-more-game-in nice. and if that's what he was staying for I'd judge him very much for that, idc if he waxes poetics about the smell of chlorine at the university pool or the feel of fresh turf beneath his cleats. but because I barely understand exy I'm just sat here like well I mean maybe the kid has a point who am I to say

#askdjkda but also? #'Kevin Day the queen of golf' #'the son of badminton' #coach gives his whole speech (which btw is one of my favorite things ever) about #'fight because you don't know how to die quietly'. and then its just the foxes marching out for a chess tournament #that is so awful #it just allows for me to believe that there's something magical asf about this game #like I've seen sports movies and those kids aren't even doing anything life threatening it's just them being very invested in the game that #has me all 'boy sit your ass down it's literally just football' #there's a fine line between Neil Josten jocks (affectionate) and Archie Andrews jocks (derogatory) #and that apparently depends on how fictional their chosen sports are #and like. troy bolton. spencer james. #dont get me wrong troy was one of the first lomls. but he's so dramatic it's sad #not Neil tho #that man is a philosopher #all his decisions are profound.. very meaningful #he can drop a spiel on the highs and lows of collegiate exy any day of the week and id lap that shit up #ill never see it as 'just exy' #neil josten #aftg #all for the game #tfc #the foxhole court #mine aftg

Drew the rat ocs i havent used or thought about for literally almost a decade. What nostalgia does to a motherfucker 

#This one goes out to ratsinalab dot proboards dot com you were all real ones #My 10 year old self was waking up every day excited to rp rats having philosophical debates and being tortured wtf was wrong with me #emf

in what world is this a cis male trait

#yeah i'm a girl but i also do manly things like analyzing things in a philosophic manner #unlike women who can only discuss topics on a surface level apparently #for context this is from that rb with ur cis male trait mine is being a car fan post

it's so comedic to me that mile went from 'ooh hot sexy mafia guy~' to 'oh yeah that's our weird rich grandpa who uses social media like a boomer' over the span of kinnporsche's run

Someone: Don't get mad! Mad doesn't help anything! If you stay angry at someone you're just hurting yourself more! Haven't you ever heard of 'turn the other cheek'?

Judaism: Disturb us, Adonai, ruffle us from our complacency. Make us dissatisfied. Dissatisfied with the peace of ignorance, the quietude which arises from a shunning of the horror, the defeat, the bitterness and the poverty, physical and spiritual, of humans. Shock us, Adonai, deny to us the false Shabbat which gives us delusions of satisfaction amid a world of war and hatred; Wake us, O God, and shake us from the sweet and sad poignancies rendered by half forgotten melodies and rubric prayers of yesteryears; Make us know that the border of the sanctuary is not the border of living and the walls of Your temples are not shelters from the winds of truth, justice and reality. Disturb us, O God, and vex us; let not Your Shabbat be a day of torpor and slumber; let it be a time to be stirred and spurred to action. - Rabbi Mitchell Salem Fisher, Mishkan Tefilah, 173

Me: Mm. Sorry, nothing around here about letting shit go and turning the other cheek! In fact, we ask God to help us gather our anger and frustration and put it to good use.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

And that’s just one example from the prayer book. To say nothing of the commands to NOT let shit go, to use anger to drive change, in the Torah and entries in the Talmud. Anger gets so much shit done in the Torah. One would have to question if we read the same Torah if you get nothing out of it except be a welcome mat. For example, the story of Konach is not in fact ‘don’t be angry’ it is actually ‘be angry correctly’. Be angry about the right things. Use your anger to better the world around you, for the people around you. Don’t let it fester (do not hold anger in your heart for your kin; Ecclesiastes), use it to change things around you. May all who despair find purpose (Mishkan Tefilah). 

The primary Jewish quality is action. This is repeated over and over, in differing ways but still the meaning is clear e.g. “As Jews have kept Shabbat so has Shabbat kept the Jews.” We must act to bring about Shalom. We must act in the name of charity, in the name of helping our friends, family, and neighbors. Anger is just something that helps steel us for the fight ahead, in many cases (i.e. social justice).

We seek shalom, peace. Only when we accept our anger, can we find peace with it. Allow it to give us a bit of drive, anger as fuel. Then let it go. Not before. Stifling anger, bottling it, does nothing good for us. And saying ‘don’t get angry’ is unhelpful. We were given the ability to feel anger for a reason. It is a tool. Control it not the other way around. This is what the teachings say.
