definitely do not think about being called tons of masc terms by an f/o. if you’re comfortable with it of course, they make sure before doing so. maybe they start with calling you the petnames/nicknames they’d usually use for you, calling you handsome along with it (‘hey, handsome man’ or a ‘hi, my sweet, handsome boy.’) maybe you like being called pretty boy too, they’d definitely ask first. maybe they focus on the features they adore the most about you.

maybe you ask to be reassured with such words because you feel comforted by it and they don’t mind doing so, but in the end they really do think those sweet things that they mumble in your ear.

#Yeah. Just like the sweet prince post this is targeted towards. me and ofc all the people who loved that post #just to be clear i don’t really know what else to call these terms aside from masc terms…? #i just make it clear at the start so that people who dislike the idea of it can immediately skip the post #i just hatee to think that ive made someone dysphoric or anything by not clearing it up at first yknow? #yknow its 1am my brain is mush sorry </3 i should stop posting before i go to bed ill grammar check in the moorning.. #LIKE IDK IF IM COOKING WITH THIS ONE LIKE I SAID. TARGETED TOWARDS ME. YEAH #❥ vels ramblings #self ship #f/o imagines #self shipping #hi to my fellow transmascs too if anyone sees this <3 #masc term self ship imagines

I know this is beating a dead horse at this point, but I just started thinking about this the other day and...

How many people that were previously enemies has Sonic ACTUALLY befriended?

Like my knowledge of some old games and the handhelds ain't great, but...

There was Knuckles, who I think is the only one in the classic era.

He never really befriended Gamma in SA1, just left him to Amy.

Also he didn't befriend Chaos, just beat the anger out of him.

The next one was Shadow in SA2, although they're still kinda rivals?

I don't think Rouge counts in SA2 since she wasn't really an enemy of Sonic specifically, even in Heroes it's really Sonic and Shadow that start the fight.

Gemerl is a robot who was reprogrammed to be friendly, I wouldn't count that as "befriending someone".

Him and Jet are rivals in every Riders game, this never changes.

Blaze in Rush is someone that fought him and they became friends, so it's clear cut, she counts.

Silver in '06 does as well.

Do we count Shade from Chronicles? I think she had a boss fight. I know very little about that game but it's not canon, right?

Merlina is kinda a grey area? Like they were friends, he stopped her evil plans and was still nice to her. I don't know if in context that meets the criteria.

On top of that I don't think the Knights of the Round Table count. Sonic is there to take the swords and they work together at the end. I don't think there's any hard feelings, but don't know if this counts as "friends".

Sage could be the next example, but she's still loyal to Eggman. I don't think what they briefly shared was friendship as much as Sage wanting to save Eggman.

I haven't played Superstars but Trip doesn't even have a bossfight, does she? I don't think she counts.

Not looking at the method, just purely if they became friends down the line. Out of all of those, there's 4 total (if you count Shadow, which I do) with 1 it's complicated and 1 non-canon. That's very few when you consider how large the game cast is.

An overwhelming majority of his friends weren't ever hostile with him to begin with, like the Chaotix, Amy, Tails, Cream, Emerl, Big, ect. There's plenty of other cast members that are still have him on their shit list, like Eggman, Infinite (if he's alive), Fang, Metal, Eggman Nega, the Deadly Six...

Now I'm starting to wonder where this idea of it being a frequent even came from.

#i still don't read the comic anymore but it's kinda hard to not see anything about it in the sonic fandom #anyways yeah that's my ramblings on the subject #a weird aspect to latch onto when it's only happened a few times #and the last definitive one was 18 years ago #and again not looking too hard at the context of those situations in this post i already know the comic misrepresents them #because aside from blaze sonic never instigated those friendships #he's a go with the flow kinda guy so he'll match your energy #you come at him aggressive and he'll be aggressive back #but also if you're friendly he'll be friendly kinda thing #anti idw sonic #idw sonic #fans don't look #hopefully that covers the tag blocking list #and people properly filter because i don't want to leave the idw tag out #in case anyone is just trying to steer clear of anything idw

Ok fuck it you know something I've never really quite understood about part of the Leftist vs Liberals debate on voting.

So so so many people act like its either-or. Like you're either dedicating your entire life to voting and promoting politicians and phone banking or whatever, or you're a True Rebel waiting for The Uprising to Come and Solve Everything.

But like. In my experience. Me voting is just me kinda go 'which person seems kinda good? Which one at least sucks the least? ok lemme go vote.' and then its anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour tops of my life. And I still have plenty of time to do Stuff and participate in Conversations about Other Important Things. And also you can admit and acknowledge and understand that the system As Is kinda sorta really sucks ass, but also still admit and acknowledge and understand that at this current point in time we are still living in the suckass system and do something to alleviate the suckass At Least A Little while also working to bolster/create/advocate for Other Systems.

I guess just like. it's not a black or white thing. Between 'top 500 volunteers for a specific politician/voting office/etc' and 'absolutely positively not voting at all' there is a gray area called 'vote and then just do other stuff'.

#out of queue #ani rambles #ani rant #now hang on its time to acknowledge my Privilege(TM) #the first few times I ever voted for anything I was in college and the student center was a voting center #so asides from waiting in a long (~30 minute tops bc early vote) line to get in I didn't have to do a big drive or anything #and at my house there's a voting center thats a like 5 minute drive from my place or a 10 minute drive depending on what election it is #and im ablebodied and have a open (read: jobless) schedule so I can Just Go for the most part #i live in a City so there's probs lots of voting centers at churches and libraries and all across town too #but like. some people act like people saying Hey Go Vote Plz are screaming like #'if you don't donate 200 dollars and 4+ weeks of your time to canvassing and calling and volunteering you are RUINING AMERICA' #when at least from what I've seen its just like. 'can you maybe go fill in a bubble on a Scantron so people like me don't Die Faster.' #also there's early voting and mail-in voting and all that jazz like yeah the current system makes it harder to vote but theres still W AYS #you don't gotta pull up at 6am on Election Day Tuesday yknow? #if i get blasted for this remember as I was: happy and rambling at 3am about greenhouses and solarpunk stuff #plz be nice i beg k bye

I do feel like we are slowly but surely falling into the trap of hyperventilating over very small things...

#that interview said nothing new aside from mentioning the text and season 4 #which again we've been over in slightly less specific terms yesterday #yeah oliver being more and more open about fox being a crapshoot is lovely #but i'm already terrified of how this hellsite will look when we start getting canon hints at buddie actually going canon #which is closer than ever and i'm not sure i'm or either of us are ready #phew #oliver stark #911 #911 abc #buddie #ramblings

Hi, what do you think about epic the musical as an Odyssey fan? Just curious

As an Epic the musical fan, I LOVE IT! Everyone's so talented and I love the music style!!! It's super fun and creative and it's amazing that Jay basically writes it all himself!

As an Odyssey fan... It's INCREDIBLY different. To the point where it's more "Odyssey inspired" than the actual Odyssey. But that's the thing. I wouldn't say Jay WANTS it to be word for word Odyssey and I DO think that'd be...kind of hard to do? Especially for Modern day.

It still has most of the "spirit" of the Odyssey though I feel like which is SUPER important. I'm saddened that very few adaptations really "balance" Odysseus' assholery and "goodness". I love "shithead Odysseus" but personally, I'm happy as long as an adaptation keeps to a "family man who wants to go home" for the most part :D (I really fucking hate the whole "Odysseus! The clever, swashbuckling hero who gets all the babes! ...He has a family?!" bullshit. That's very much not him. (He likes shiny things, yes but that's it)

More personal rambles below :D

I think it's interesting that Polites in Epic is more "peaceful" when in the Odyssey, he's called "captain of armies". And the fact he's killed right away when he was one of the last men alive.

Also Odysseus' and Eurylochus' friendship! I think it's sweet in the musical while in the Odyssey, it's quite tense. It gets more and more tense in Epic later on obviously but in the odyssey, it's been tense for a WHILE. Also!

Shout out to Armando Julian! Eurylochus' actor! I see a lot of people talk about Polites, Poseidon, Circe, and Hermes and they get a lot of fanart and love with their songs (rightfully so, ofc!!!) but Armando is really talented and people really sleep on Luck Runs Out! I'm about to become a vocal nerd for a moment. He's got a wonderful vibrato! I really love how he sings "feed" during Full Speed Ahead and "Captain, please" during Remember Them for example. His voice really fits with "speaking on behalf of the crew".

I know most people have a lot of feelings with the Circe Saga but I think that Jay did a great job considering... everything. Book 10 and 12 of the Odyssey are very complicated and I don't blame Jay for not wanting to delve into EVERYTHING with that. Odyssey Odysseus gets SA'd twice and while "I'm Not Sorry for Loving You" makes me worry, I really do think Jay will pull through with how fucked up Calypso's situation while still not having the graphic scenes in the Odyssey. It would be very hard to not only have what was basically an exchange for his men to be turned back to humans but if he interprets it happening throughout the entire year like some readers do, then that's really hard. :'D To truly portray Odysseus' fear of Circe while still having her be morally gray. As she very likely didn't mean Odysseus harm after a certain point but he was still afraid regardless.

Not only trying to not have such disturbing stuff shown in his musical but also, I think Jay was possibly trying to be considerate of Madeline Miller's Circe fans while still trying to show Odysseus discomfort and distress???? 😅 Sounds weird but like, as soon as I heard Circe talking about the nymphs being like her daughters and that she protects them, I thought that. That book is HUGE and I'm sure that many fans of it don't necessarily want to see Circe's "I do whatever I want. I don't need a reason. Woe, Oink be upon ye." as the most likely reason they were turned into pigs in the Odyssey is that ODYSSEUS is associated with them (the boar scar, the metaphors when talking about him in the Iliad, his trusted Swineherd Eumeaus, BOAR TUSK HELMET. Like, that's kind of the animal that represents Odysseus. (even when a spear pierces through a boar's hide, it'll STILL charge as they're that ferocious and determined...Just like Odysseus, a man who should be dead but isn't because of his will to go home. Homer didn't write them being turned into pigs necessarily as a "Men are pigs" thing.

I think the modern shift in how the situation seen today and other media of the Odyssey is why he wrote the songs he did. And considering it all? He did a good job navigating it. I'm very happy with the results!

I have more thoughts probably but those have been stewing in my brain for a while :D I definitely look forward to the next sagas!

#Mad rambles #ask #anon #shot by odysseus #silly thing but as I basically write Odysseus (and Penelope) as asexual. whenever I see stuff that's like 'Odysseus pushed aside his lust i #order to stay loyal' I get confused like “He didn't get lust in the first place? OHHHH yeah. My headcanon.” #He wants Penelope. Even if there was an easier “better” woman who might possibly even look similar. he doesn't want it. #like xD I mention him finding Penelope's strange naiad traits but if someone else does the same things she does? He'll still be like 😐

im having so many thoughts about mindflayer variations. why havent i seen any midnflayer variations

#i've seen swordsmachine variations fly around here and there #but the mindflayers also built their own bodies. or at the very least weren't created with them #if the terminal entry is correct #yea most. if not all mindflayers would have some type of human body. but body types aside can you imagine the amount of #designs you can get from that alone #bodies with doll joints. hard plastic. soft silicone. transparent like those old electronics where you can see the wires #fully robotic. scraphead style mindflayer that still keeps the humanoid form #yeah i know the rerminal entry only mentions plastic bodies. but from a in-universe standpoint. if the mindflayers built it themselves then #the cant /all/ have the same materials #also i just love species variations :3c #mindflayer #ultrakill #mindflayer ultrakill #ramblings

Rise Leo meeting the 2012 Gang except after like, less than a week he says something along the lines of ‘Man, I can’t believe that all versions of me and my brothers and our friends are queer!’ And the whole 2012 Gang FREEZES because none of them are out to each other because they just assumed they were the only gay in the group and Rise Leo was able to figure everyone out like THAT.

Cue Spider-Man pointing meme where they’re all like, “YOU’RE BISEXUAL AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME?? WE COULD’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL THIS TIME??” While Rise Leo is like “…You guys didn’t know?? Really??” Because they were all so focused on “Oh my god I’m gay… How do I come out to my family…” to notice that ALL of them are gay.

#rottmnt #tmnt 2012 #tmnt crossover #The Rise gang is all out to each other because Rise Splinter is a raging bisexual #While 2012 Splinter doesn’t even know he’s bisexual #(He is. Source? Because he has all queer kids.) #All turtles are queer. Not a single one isn’t #I just think it would be funny if Rise Leo pointed it out thinking it was like. A universally known thing only to find out it really isn’t #After that the 2012 Gang gets even closer and they all band together to watch queer shows together to heal their souls #‘2012 Gang is all queer’ applies to both Casey and April too. Neither of these people are straight #Afterwards they form a goddamn line outside Splinters door being like ‘Hey dad… I’m gay.’ one after another #and Splinter is supportive bc he loves his boys but he’s confused why they’re all coming out on the same day #So he just keeps giving personalized speeches to tell them he loves and supports them no matter what #And then later pulls Rise Leo aside like ‘My Alternative Son… I grew up in a very traditional household. I have no idea what a Bisexual is’ #So Rise Leo gives him the rundown so Splinter can better understand his kids #and then is like ‘Hm. this Bisexual thing sounds… Similar to how I feel.’ #and. yeah <3 #you get the idea #SB Speaks #SB Rambles #this got off the rails oops-

honestly. I think my least favorite thing about the uwu woowoo female spirituality cult thing is not even the ~irrational spirituality~ part of it at this point, but how uhh... infantilizing and even somewhat heteronormative in a way(?) it is. kinda reminds me of the whole ~UwU Sapphic WLW let's braid our hair and hold hands among the flowers~ thing.... expects women to be soft and feminine (which, as you know, traditional/conventional gender roles and especially femininity is heavily interlinked with heterosexuality) .

aside from that, it's annoying when people call being logical/rational a specifically ~male~ way of thinking. how is that not misogynistic as fuck?

Just.... Hmmm. something about all of that really rubs me the wrong way.

#im pretty solidly an atheist yeah but i dont feel as strongly about all this shit as i did in the past #at this point idc what you believe as long as you leave me alone etc. unethical shit aside (anti-vax w kids for religious reasons etc.) #but uh. yeah #im at work bored and rambling so this sounds dum but idc

i am probably doing comics reading wrong but i am also doing it great and the only right way

#space rambles #this is to say. the booster gold reading list im using is like 'yeah you should read justice league international next' #so i went sick. will do. #but jli is. uh. a team book. and aside from batman and kinda blue beetle #i know NOTHING about ANY of these people #and i have decided that instead of doing the sane thing (looking up and reading their backstory sections on a wiki) #i have decided to just piece information about them together as i am exposed to it #this is to say that i am 13 issues into jli and JUST TODAY learned that martian manhunter has a secret identity and CAN SHAPESHIFT???? #and its not even because it came up in the book i just made a joke to my friend who knows things and it told me #like. is this the best way to be experiencing these characters? probably not #but its best to ME
