Kaeya had always been an efficient and hard-working individual (he had to be to support Diluc in the background as his brother rose thru the ranks after all).

He has so much free time because he completes all his work way ahead of schedule. And if he still has enough time, he adds more to the workload in secret.

And once all of that was done and over with, he makes time for everyone. He has to. He feels as if every moment has to be given to someone else.

No one knows how he does it. No one has to know.

Every mission has a dozen strategies in line, and every battle plan is made with efficiency in mind. His perfect record will not be tarnished. He can't risk it (even if it baffles others that he would willingly activate a ruin guard just to prevent a failed mission. Jean disagrees with his methods, but Kaeya can say that the results say otherwise)

He needs to be quick.

Efficient.

Perfect.

And so he comes and goes like the wind.

Kaeya values time because he knew every second counted. He can't just stand there as if he were frozen. Time could run out in an instant.

Kaeya had only been late once his entire life.

He'd rather he never be late ever again.

It took one day of being of being imperfect for everything to fall apart. On that tragic day...had he gotten there on time... then maybe...

.

.

.

" Come on, let's get moving, traveler. We're not frozen in place after all. " Kaeya teasingly says. He stiffles a giggle at the traveler's exhasperated sigh.

"Yeah yeah, we've heard enough of you calling us a slacker. Can't you be a bit more patient?" Paimon whines at him.

Kaeya snorts, but acquiesces, hiding the shaking of his hands at the thought of being idle.

He imagines hearing a clock ticking.

Kaeya knows that that is his own problem. He tries his hardest to relax as he waits for the traveler to finish whatever they're making on the alchemy table because, seriously, it is supposed to be a relaxing day. There's nothing major going on, and his schedule is once again empty as intended. What's the hurry?

Kaeya taps his foot on the ground as he waits. He wishes he could take his own damn advice when he tells others to relax.

#kaeyachi randoms #kaeya #kaeya alberich #this is actually shorter than it originally was can yall believe? #kaeya with anxiety truther there i said it #kaeya cant stand being IDLE #get it? get it? #you see that is a play of words in reference to when he is stood idle on our screens. he is one of the more verbally impatient characters #and we also see it reflected on his actions both in fighting and at work. he has a speed boost bonus and if he isnt teleporting he is #actually moving so fast that he seems like it. this is what i also concluded that results him in large amounts of free time that only amber #seemed to be hardpressed about. the people of mondstadt find him reliable and approachable despite the lax attitude and frequent nights at #angels share. we also had lore tidbits before of kaeya straight up saying he finished all his work and jean saying that he also did the #backlogged ones. It is actually insane that we hear him relaxing frequently and i bet its not because of the lack of horses COZ LOOK AT HOW #BUSY THE OTHER CAPTAINS ARE. Also id like to think that he is a toned down noelle and that is why jean told him to watch over her training #give us noelle and kaeya interactions pls i kinda need it tbh #to all those that reached this far into the notes i actually have more to say so get ready #if it wasnt clear the only day he was late was when crepus died. everything fell apart for him that day so i can see some obsessive need to #just keep running around and doing things as efficient as possible. I also think that he found the knights slow and inefficient in several #occasions and he is willing to put them in the line of fire just to get their hearts pumping with adrenaline (and fear lol). idk kaeya is #just so anxiety-coded. impatience-core. Mr. dont waste my time type of guy. and also wow look i found a way to make his idles become angst #silly me ehe #oh youre still here? how about i tell you that kaeya-efficiency-alberich probably knows where everyone is at any time of the day? #can we honestly please give him more free time i need more of him tbh #fun reminder that bro is working around 3-4 jobs casually lmao #i also just realized that the notes is a whole nother post on its own #AND THE ACTUAL FUNNY PART IS I CAN STILL ELABORATE MORE ON THIS LMAO #wait let me add this one tiny idea too but he thinks time is so valuable. bro lost 2 dads and lost time with his bro + he significantly #lessened his time at dawn winery for quite some time. i can see why he is extroverted now.

French queer playlist because why not

Comme ils disent by Charles Aznavour (1972) | about a gay man, he cross-dresses too. Don't really know how to explain that one. It's great, it aged really well (Aznavour was a straight man but he had several queer friends)

Sans Contrefaçon by Mylène Farmer (1987) | wasn't actually written with trans masculinity in mind, but it's a trans masc anthem at this point

Ziggy (un garçon pas comme les autres) by Céline Dion (1991; the original cover/song was in 1978 tho) | girl falls in love with her friend, a gay teen - is sad for herself but doesn't insult him or anything

College boy by Indochine (2013) | a song I found not so long after figuring out my own queerness so it has a special place in my heart. lots of cw for the visual clip (homophobia, bullying, conservatism, police violence, religious hypocrisy, physical assault, crucifixion)

J'ai le droit aussi by Calogero (2014) | gay teenager wants to live like he wants, is scared of other's view/judgement on him (including his parents)

Mohammed je t'aime by Gargäntua (2015) | being gay in the hood is like everywhere else - it may not be a good idea to be public about it. lots of cw for the visual clip (physical assault, homophobia, internalized homophobia, suicide). I hope one day Gargäntua will make a song about Mohammed finding happiness because he clearly deserves it if not for the trauma in this song

comme les autres by keen'v (2015) | gay man (teen?) coming out to his father, father is homophobic

C'est toi qu'elle préfère by Alice et Moi (2017) | sapphic anthem at this point; unrequited love

Normal by Eddy de Pretto (2018) | gay man responding to an homophobe (honestly i find it very satisfying)

Grave by Eddy de Pretto (2018) | the singer is an openly gay man, he talks to a wide range of different gay boys/teens/men and are telling them to not worry when they discover their homosexuality; that it's okay

Séduction by Joanna (2018) | bi woman falls in love with another woman

Ta reine by Angèle (2018) | wlw.

Amour censure by Hoshi (2019) | Hoshi is an openly lesbian singer; the song denounces homophobia

Immoral & Illégal by Gargäntua (2022) | 'Everything I love is immoral and illegal' - if that's not a queer feeling. More seriously, it's more me deciding to interpret the song this way then the song being about queerness. Still, whether you listen to this song and think about addiction, queerness, or any marginalized community, well.. well you can't change my mind about it having (intended or not) queer subtext

La mort avec toi by Gargäntua (2022) | literally 'partners in crimes', I decided it was queer for various reasons but you may not think like me

#some are more interpretation than outright queer songs but like. come on. you can see the potential queer subtext of Immoral & Illégal #- of La mort avec toi and of C'est toi qu'elle préfère #if you have more queer french song pls share them - add to the post #im sure i missed a lot of them #i mostly put song i love or i like - so yes i didnt put some on purpose sorry not sorry #french #french song #chanson française #chansons françaises #upthebaguette #the difference of genres of this playlist.. lol #i got some parody songs too but éh... ig theyre not for everyone (i dont wanna risk it) #queer #lgbt+ #lgbtq #lgbt #queerness

~A Shinee Database~

Hello! I don't know if this is useful to anyone other than me, but I decided to try compiling a list of Shinee's shows + links (eng sub). I've created a metadata Database so all entries can be easily tagged and searched according to needs/wants. I don't have links to every show ever, but I do largely have links to more recent stuff (will slowly update to adding older stuff too).

Please visit here if you want to use the Database~ 💛 i will do my best to update as new things come out, as well as get working links for old shows.

Please share! Hope this is helpful to newer babywols and older shawols 🥰 I will be releasing monthly updates here on tumblr of all new shows added to database.

Message me here on tumblr if you have any comments, questions, issues, links you want fixed and/or links to donate/add to the database (because i am not a very up to date person tbh).

Url to Database if link isnt working: https://shineedatabase.notion.site/SHINee-Database-5af4931a767348329392e0b7d4fbc17e?pvs=25

#shinee #info #do people want this? idk #im posting it anyway lol #if you have a notion account u can also download the table as a template and add your own filters (like a “watched” list) #pls DM me or comment here if you've got anything to say/add!! #pls share if you can! :) #shineedatabase

one thing I’ve seen a lot of portwells/ej stans mention is that the wildcats were “bad friends” for not helping ej with his stress/pinning more specific blame on gina for not helping her boyfriend when he was stressed. for one, this is kinda blatantly not true. besides the fact that ej refused to ask them for help (and understandably so) by not revealing that he was director at the beginning of 302 or inviting miss jenn to outsource help, for example, most of them helped him/offered to help in one way or another. gina constantly shared her faith in his abilities and even offered to step back on their relationship while at camp to allow him more free time. val appeared to fulfill a lot of the directing role with casting and helping to organize the readthrough. maddox helped with organizing auditions. carlos (along with val) organized rcosl to help get more drama. I could share more examples but they serve to highlight that when ej was drowning, he was not left at sea. a lot of his stress was intrinsic, and even all the help in the world was going to prevent it because of pressure he imposed on himself. to blame his friends, who were there to have fun, with the only responsibility on their plate being to learn their lines, is a misunderstanding of why he was stressed and how he could be helped. the best thing they could do for him was learn their roles for opening night. in fact, miss jenn literally tells him “if they know their lines, they’ll be fine.” i also wanna mention that ej didn’t really seem to be failing at directing. it was more of a combination of personal doubt and the introduction of the production being filmed. the latter likely placed stress on all of them and there was nothing that they could really do to change that for themselves, let alone ej. anyways, all this is leading up to my main question: what did you guys want the wildcats to do for ej? take on directing parts of the show while also learning their lines in under two weeks? magically find him a way to please his father? the stress that ej was under sucked. but it wasn’t the fault of his friends, nor could it disappear in the presence of sweet words. I just wanted to pose this inquiry to his stans and open it up for respectful debate!

#hsmtmts #ej caswell #ej hsmtmts #idk how to tag I never talk about him lol #I have mixed feelings about ej because he was one of my favorite characters in s1 and 2 #but he kinda fell flat in s3 for me idk #but I feel like I understand him on a deep psychological level #this post is also looking to push back on the babying done by ej stans #they refuse to let him be held accountable and place the onus of ALLLLLL his problems on the shoulders of others #sometimes it is other people’s fault #most of the time it’s not #I just wanna understand the reasoning a bit #bc I truly feel there was not much his friends could do but make the musical good in their own ways #and this is not blaming ej #but it’s hard to help someone when they don’t tell you anything #and he’s notorious for bottling his feelings up #and no one can read your mind if you don’t want them to #but anyways #pls share your explanations!!!

I finally figured out how to get into the Pentiment game files (after downloading five different extractor programmes lol) and decided to look through the glossary page marginalia that I ignored/missed on my first playthrough.

We all know our man Andreas is a cat fan, so it’s no surprise that there are quite a few drawn throughout the game. But there are also these two cats, which aren’t quite in keeping with the style of the others:

It’s a lovely piece of art, just like everything else in the game and now I can access the texture files I’m one step closer to making a sticker set for my laptop lol. But look at it for a bit longer and then tell me they don’t remind you of one of our fave Pentiment couples…

I think @mintymyths has mentioned before that some of the illustrated frogs share a likeness with Andreas — so I like to think that these animal cameos are a recurring artistic feature of his <3

#Just Master Artist Things™️ #pentiment #pentiment spoilers #of a sort #You cannot convince me that these aren’t cat versions of Wojslav and Matilda #And if you can convince me then I don’t wanna hear it bc this is the cutest thing #I will admit though that I didn’t look at the marginalia much at all during the game #so maybe everyone has already noticed this lol #((If anyone is looking at that picture and wondering wtf im talking about — #the ears of the grey cat are reminiscent of Matilda’s headdress - and they share the aquiline nose and sharp cheekbones #whilst the lighter cat is round like wojslav and has the same blond wavy hair #But most importantly they r both in love <3 🥺🥹)) #sister matilda #brother wojslav #ANYWAY guys it rly did take me so much time to work out how the game files worked lol so if anyone wants to know pls just ask #or happy to extract certain images / icons for people if they have any in mind

seeing new appreciation for Dark Era because of the anime rewatch makes me so happy..... could we have a light novel reread series next so that everyone can read Dark Era? 🥹

#bungou stray dogs #out here shilling the DE novel whenever I can to get as many people as possible to read it 🥲 pls read it guys it's so worth it #it will rui- change your life #the anime adaptation is beautiful and the best work Bones has ever done for bsd #but it still can't hold a candle to the novel #so much of Oda's character and the true heartbreak and poignancy of his and Dazai's relationship is only found by reading it #not to mention a better understanding of Ango; Dazai and Aku's relationship; etc #everyone knows Stormbringer and Beast but i feel like Dark Era is one of the most unread light novels #(along with Entrance Exam... *sigh* and 55 Minutes) #I made a visual novel out of Dark Era using anime screenshots and the ost.... would people find it more appealing to read in that format?? #I keep waffling about making it public cause idk who would even care lol #but maybe i should just post it one day and see what happens...... i'm proud of it but no one has played it but the friend i made it for #i'd be happy if sharing it got more people to read Dark Era #anyone who's even reading these tags lmao: would you play a visual novel of Dark Era???

anyone have any puzzle recs

or alternatively whats ur favourite puzzle type if you have one

for me when it comes to apps I love nonograms the most but I also like minesweeper. Then when it comes to paper (or apps still) I like logic grid puzzles, kenken, sudoku, word/number fill ins, & kakuro off the top of my head.

sometimes I encounter a new puzzle and I’m like !!!! I love this how did I never know about this before !!! so I am reaching out to expand my puzzle list and also just want to hear what anyone reading this likes

#one puzzle I can never do? crosswords. I don’t have the brain for them. #i really want to get a book of those logic grid puzzles i haven’t found one yet #i mean i could probably find one online #but i tend to grab cheap ones from the magazine shelf lol #and those logic grid puzzles I’ve only found interspersed amongst books of other puzzles #ive got a book just for word fill ins. two or three of sudoku. one that’s like a third ken ken #ive got a word find book somewhere not mentioned here but a love as a kid #also still fun now #i dont have anything with kakuro i think I find those in newspapers #i also really want to see if they do nonograms on paper not just in apps. that would be fun #anyway pls share ur interests i love puzzles #i spend too much time doing them lmao #oh also if anyone is interested in the idea of nonograms but you wouldn’t just do them alone #can i recommend the app meow tower #you’ve got really simple nonograms and also cute cats with personalities you interact with! #there’s also slightly harder monograms I think it’s 15 by 15 but they become easy too the more you do :) #eeeee anyway. puzzles! #i need more puzzle books. it’s not negotiable. they’re a must. I adore it when I get new ones to spend hours on

naughty busters drama track: youthful riot summary

i’m not good enough to give a line by line tl of the track but i tried to make it as comprehensive as i could without it. you can listen to it here but if you can buy dawn of divisions vol 3, please do!!!! cdjapan has it in stock still!!!!

———

the drama track opens up with the end of otome’s coup speech and ichiro watching the televised event.

otome: instead of foolish, warmongering men, women will be the ones to give the world a fresh start!!

ichiro: whoever just became our leader better be powerful because nothing is going to change for us.

time passes, and ichiro’s just gotten done with his tasks of the day. he figures he might as well go home when he hears footsteps approaching.

kuukou: found ya, ichiro!!

ichiro: oh kuukou!! what’s up??

kuukou asks him if he’s seen the news and upon ichiro’s confirmation, he tells him he should know what these are and tosses him a mic. ichiro’s surprised, and kuukou explains as soon as he saw the power the mics had from the televised coup, he knew he had to give it a try and signed them both up for their mics. it’s then ichiro recalls that these are the hypnosis mics and kuukou demands they give them a whirl, to which ichiro agrees to do tho he sounds a startled by the sudden activity.

kuukou gives a self-introductory rap but when the blow lands on ichiro, ichiro comments it’s a little underwhelming and kuukou wonders how to get the output of power he’s seen. kuukou tells ichiro he’s up next and ichiro delivers his own introductory rap that similarly feels weak. ichiro speculates rapping skill may have an impact on their power so kuukou suggest they better get to practicing then!! agreeing, ichiro says that they need to get good with the mics as fast as they can because this will be the newest weapon everyone will get their hands on. kuukou sees his point and says and they need to stay ahead of the game, which is exactly what ichiro was thinking so they better get on it he exclaims!!!

—————————

we flash forward and training is done. kuukou suddenly started chuckling to himself and ichiro asks him what’s he laughing at. kuukou’s feeling good about how hard their rap training was, ichiro’s lyrics were strong and just about knocked him unconscious!!! ichiro asks if getting knocked out was really something to laugh about and kuukou tells him something along the lines of, “one should buy a lot of hardships.” well, ichiro does see benefits of their training and kuukou tells him soon they’ll both be knocking fools out together, to which cracks ichiro up a little.

ichiro suddenly gets a phone call. he answers the phone and after a brief conversation, states that he’ll be there shortly. kuukou asks him where he’s going and ichiro replies he’s been called in by mozuku.

kuukou: ah the corrupt priest huh…. guess that’s where we’re headed to next.

ichiro: it’s not like you have to follow me.

kuukou: stuuuupid. ain’t this something about your job?? what kinda partner would i be if i left you to do all the work alone?? so let’s go man.

and as kuukou walks away, ichiro pauses and quietly laughs to himself before following after kuukou.

—————————

the next scene, ichiro walks in mozuku’s office, followed shortly by kuukou.

mozuku is pleasantly surprised to see kuukou, as it’s been awhile, and asks if he’s here because he’s missed him. kuukou lets him know he’s the last person he wants to see. laughingly, mozuku says he’s so cold to him.

ichiro steers the conversation back to why mozuku asked him to come in. mozuku tells him he’s requiring a bodyguard service. for himself?? no, for a man who goes by the name osaragi, an investor known for evading taxes. kuukou asks if that’s the kind of guy that they’re guarding and mozuku confirms.

mozuku: do you remember tomabechi zakuro?

tomabechi zakuro, leader of the group Extortion, was the man who terrorised unami and her sister from dhbat manga chapter 12

apparently his right hand man, teshigawara, is after him. ichiro’s familiar with him, he’s the one who stepped up to take over the group after they helped put tomabechi in jail. kuukou asks why he’s after him and apparently he took off with all their money made in their name and left behind a wake of territorial disputes as well.

kuukou scoffs, that’s boring as shit.

mozuku: boring as it may be, i will be paying handsomely.

mozuku again tells ichiro to bodyguard this man and he’ll be sure to provide extra reinforcements.

grimly, ichiro accepts the job.

—————————

we next cut to our boys arriving at their rendezvous point, a business by the name of ‘Lounge.’

kuukou: tf kinda shop is ‘Lounge?’

ichiro: i’m not too sure either, but apparently you buy drinks and get to talk to women.

kuukou: *gives the most exasperated sigh* people really spend their money on this?? that’s so stupid.

ichiro comments to never mind what people spend their money on and they enter the shop.

once inside, they find a man laughing uproariously. ichiro hesitantly asks if he’s osaragi and introduces themselves as his bodyguards mozuku assigned to him. osaragi grumbles at the fact they’re just a bunch of kids and wonders if they’re capable at all. ichiro audibly reels in some anger and affirms that they can. well, as long as they don’t fck up, the money is his and osaragi commands them to stand off to the side so they don’t kill his drinking vibe.

they step away and kuukou swears at osaragi under his breath, calling him a pig. ichiro feels that and let’s kuukou know it’s fine if he’s not up to it and can go home. kuukou again chides ichiro, saying a partner is supposed to always stand by his side. besides, he’s looking forward to beating up some small fries.

kuukou: so i’m not leaving

ichiro: *chuckles* well, i’m glad you have my back, aibou-san

kuukou: *softly laughs* that’s right, just leave it to me!!

the moment is ruined when osaragi beckons them over like they’re his pets. very disgruntled, the two approach osaragi, who asks them if they drink tequila. kuukou firmly tells him he does not. osaragi insists tho, they can drink and do whatever they want to the women here, since they all owe him money. osaragi passes kuukou a glass imploringly, but kuukou, in a fit of anger, takes the glass, repeats he’s not drinking and makes to make a mess—

but ichiro stops him.

osaragi sneers at them, and ichiro declines for them, saying they’re here to bodyguard him, not to play around. osasari groans that they’re so uptight and sends them back to their spot since they’re making his drinks taste bad.

kuukou is ready beat the stuffing out of a pig.

ichiro quickly tells kuukou to calm down, they just gotta put up with him for the night. not mollified but putting it aside, kuukou brings up how those girls are under his command due to their debt to him. ichiro’s concerned about them too, but they can’t make any moves that might put their situation at risk. the girls need to be the ones to ask for help. kuukou concedes with a sigh, saying that’s a rather adult way to look at it. ichiro denies this; he’s only able to come to that conclusion because of his experience in this line of work.

if something goes wrong and he’s blamed for it, ichiro would feel like crap. kuukou hums in thought.

the doors suddenly burst open and a man demands to know where osaragi is. osaragi is in a panic and yells at ichiro and kuukou to protect him. they step up, itching for a fight and to their surprise, it’s teshigawara. they asked what happened to the men stationed outside and teshigawara and his men laugh, saying they made for some good punching bags. ichiro doesn’t understand how they took out so many of them and teshigawara reveals his hand:

he has a hypnosis mic.

so that’s what it was, ichiro muses, and their men hadn’t picked up mics yet. teshigawara is confident they have the upper hand here and tells them no amount of grovelling will save them if they get in their way. is that a threat, ichiro asks but it’s the opposite really. teshigawara feels thankful to them for getting him to the top of extortion, so he’s offering them a way out.

kuukou chuckles and asks ichiro what he’d like to do and ichiro answers they’ll make their own way out.

they take out their mics, much to teshigawara’s surprise, and spit bars about climbing to the top as a diss to teshigawara hand me down position.

their rap sends them flying!!!!

both ichiro and kuukou taunt their fallen enemies and it’s then osaragi shows himself, surprised the brats completed the job but pleased. kuukou scoffs at him and ichiro, job complete, excuses them from them scene.

but osaragi stops them from leaving, and demands they stay on as his bodyguards. he thinks they’re very well suited for this kind of work and offers to pay three times as much as mozuku’s offer. ichiro refuses and makes to leave again, but osaragi instantly knocks the price up to ten times the amount!!!! and offers up the number one hostess of the joint!!!! and they can have their pick of any of women he has under his control, repeating they can do whatever they want with them.

kuukou walks up to the lady osaragi is presenting to them, and tells her,

kuukou: hey miss. if you always hold your tongue, then nobody will ever understand what you need.

hostess: …………..please help me.

kuukou huffs, satisfied.

kuukou: ya hear that, ichiro-san??

ichiro: loud and clear. osaragi-san?

osaragi: so we have a deal??

ichiro punches the living daylights out of him. no they do not.

kuukou teases him, like whatever happened to not interfering where they aren’t welcome?? ichiro quips back that times change which draws out kuukou’s gremlin laugh, oh is that so??

ichiro lets out a deep sigh and says it’s time to go home.

as they set out, it strikes kuukou that they should make a team name for themselves.

ichiro: is it really that important??

kuukou: stuuuupid of course it is!!!! it gives proof that it existed.

ichiro: *pouty* well in that case, go ahead.

kuukou: but what would be a good team name……?? well, since ichiro’s suuuch a rebel, why don’t we go with “naughty monks”?

ichiro: that has nothing to do with me at all???

I remember you saying you like expressing sadness with eyes without even drawing tears and that's stuck in my head. And I said this to you personally but to me you are the one true Pr Omega, specifically Argan CEO🙏

hhuhiiihihuhhiihu you know why ? maybe i already told you, i simply cant draw tears lol. i want them to have expressions. even if i struggle with face anatomy i feel my current artstyle fits exageration of feelings. im pretty sure ill do better and improve more

#tbh (again) i drew mutliple pages with only facial expressions but since it has no context or its too personal i never post it #it feels a lil cringe lol so this is i force myself to do comics #so i can gather all the emotions into a story #my favorite expression/emotion that artists draw is fear ( ´∀`) #see those arata fanarts i shared on my priv ? #this is exactly what i want to achive #acheive #also i hate when artist draw someone cryung but its a pretty crying and not one ugly crying 😒 #i want the character to breadown pls #AND THANK YOU FOR THE ARGAN AND PO CEO #more is coming soon 💪💪💪 (in 10 years)

trying to explain that gender essentialist thinking is harmful just on principal of upholding the concept in society while also acknowledging how like. trans men have noticed more confidence and physicality once they went on testosterone without undermining the point.

#trying to talk to my siblings abt it has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my whole life #like am i in the wrong?? if i squint at my sister using words like masculine energy and feminine energy in her spirituality #to describe a different between forward / penetrative / hardworking energy versus a receiving / being energy in her spirituality? #like to me. wanting to describe those ideas is fine. but why are you using gendered words to do it #it is partly because in english we haven't thought of many replacement words that Aren't gendered #but like. is the reluctance to change that vocabulary a matter of convenience or some room to clear out gender essentialism? #is gender not real but hormones and traits associated with them real? is making a distinction between the two worth it then? #EYE think so. because you can have women with low estrogen who feel masculine but are still content as female #and you can also have women with high testosterone who don't want hormone therapy yet still identify as female #so to link the two feels? unnecessary? even IF there is a likelihood to more easily acquire certain traits with each individual hormone #I DON'T KNOWWW enough about all this i unironically wanna get into gender studies just bc of this conversation hsdfkjsl #which was prompted by me subjecting myself to j*rdan p*terson bc my brother listened to him in the past btw lol #my brother has many disagreements with him and both he AND my sister are trans allies by i feel like... #they still have some concept of gender essentialism and i don't know how to properly confront it when i haven't even done that much researc #and honestly feel like i can't given my schedule #god. if you read all that thank you. also pls share ur thoughts if u have any #i've been thinking abt this for days #and would love any and all extra input especially from trans voices but not exclusively i am desperate #*edit my sister also like acknowledged how my squinting was justified but also saw me acknowledging peoples' responses to hormone therapy #and the difference they've felt in behavior as like. contradictory lol #and how like. if there was a trans woman who didn't want hormone therapy like. Were they tested to see if their natural testosterone levels #+ were low??? #and i was like????? Does it matter #as long as there is one trans woman with high testosterone and one trans man with high estrogen doesn't that mean linking hormoes + #+*HORMONES with gendered traits is faulty? #but i guess like. if there's a generalized likelihood it Would make sense to link them #but IS there a generalized likelihood or is it mostly all circumstantial and socialized?? #also is gender essentialism associating gendered traits with genetalia and Not hormones or are they the same?? #does it MATTER?? i dunnooooooo god

DC x Star Trek crossover Just had a epiphany and had to share lol Okay, so we all know that Hal/Kirk obviously have a ton of parallels and similarities but Spock/Barry?? Unhinged scientists who ingest alien and possibly fatal plants without even testing first regardless of the consequences because Science?? Check. 

Scientists who have a almost child-like fascination and wonder of the world/universe they live in? Check. 

Self-sacrificing dorks who will throw themselves into the line of danger for their family/friends even if said friends/family can protect themselves?? Check. 

People who share a very deep and strong bond with a cocky and super flirty brunette who loves to fly?? Check. Emotionally repressed people who don’t like to talk about their feelings?? Double check. They have so many similarities, it’s kinda nuts. But anyway, where’s my crossover comic where they meet and nerd out over alien fauna and weird phenomenon while Jim and Kirk are just int he bg like “Uh you know tHAT COULD KILL US RIGHT” 

#dc #dc comics #star trek #start trek tos #barry allen #the flash #spock #s'chn t'gai spock #dc x star trek crossover #OK BUT TELL ME THEY WOULDN'T BE FAST FRIENDS THO #I also think they'd hit it off cause like #If you notice they both don't really have anyone to share their fascination with?? #I mean #Yeah Kirk and Hal can appreciate it but most everyone just kinda brushes them off #SO when they meet they're suddenly like Kindred spirits??? #lol #Ftl brought up Spock reading Barry's chemistry notes and thinking how advanced this person was and how much he wants to meet him #And then through timey-wimey shenanigans Barry just pops up lol #Give it to me I need this now #PLS #Lemme know if I missed anything

You like historical Viking shit too!?🥹

Heck yeah!!!

(Fun fact I searched "bro hug" to find that lol)

Yeah I'm 1/4 Norwegian and I was pretty into Norwegian history stuff growing up, and the viking era is an especially fun part of that :) We were having a viking day at work, and someday I will have one of those proper historically accurate viking dresses like the ones I was reblogging, but for now I'm pretty pleased with my loosely viking-y tunic look:

The tunic's from like a larp/renn faire type clothing store and it's just sort of generally Nordic, but I am quite fond of it. Also if I wanted to be more historical-looking I know I should've worn like boots, but the tennies are much more comfy for a long day of work. I also have a braided leather bracelet that really would've completed the look but I could not find it for the life of me this morning and I was late already so. But, I did have my viking sword necklace from the York viking museum and some other jewelry I felt like fit the Norse beadwork aesthetic decently. Also speaking of viking swords...

You can't just tell me it's a viking theme day and *not* expect me to bring my viking (foam larp) swords! Like, yes I know that swords were comparatively rare and only for the wealthy who devoted a significant amount of their attention to fighting vs the much more common ax which had multiple farm applications... but swords are cool. And I can be a rich warrior viking ;)

Also, "sword*s* as in plural?" you may ask... Heck yes, I reply.

I actually left them in my car all day but I just had to have them with me, and it worked out for photoshoot purposes. This longsword is the one I use more often when I swordfight my boyfriend because having a longer sword is definitely important in combat I've learned, but both are very fun to do battle with and also both bring me great joy when I look upon them :) I do think the short sword is a touch prettier though, and the hilt is fancier:

Plus the handle is actually leather-wrapped versus the longsword which just has a black foam grip, though I know you can't really see either very well under my hands.

So, yeah. You encounter me in the museum restroom, wyd? ;)

#also love how you literally asked a yes or no question and I managed to make a whole fashion photoshoot essay of it haha #this is why I'm so bad about answering asks. I always want to make a whole Thing of it and I rarely actually finish #also I'm just realizing how messy the mirror is in the last pic... ignore that pls. it wasn't so obvious until I brightened the picture up #also yes I used two separate bathrooms and three mirrors for my after hours photoshoot after I locked up #there are pros and cons to the lighting and mirror angles in both bathrooms. lol #but yeah general apology for all the asks I haven't answered still #I just happened to be in the mood to do a photoshoot and show off today #and then I sorted through all the pics and wrote this post at like 4am! well actually it's like 5 now. lol #I cannot control when the viking chaos strikes me! ;) haha #anyways I'm sure there's something I meant to say that I'm forgetting but I should probably just post this and go to sleep #if anyone is able to dox me from my workplace bathrooms... pls don't ok #haha. I do worry I share too many irl pics on here sometimes. but it's just fun to #but yeah always feel free to ramble at me about viking stuff! #I cannot guarantee a prompt answer but I can promise I'm interested :)
