(Inspired by Twitter posts) There is something so fascinating to me about Yuuji eating Gojo’s eyes in order to try and bring him back. Imagine Gojo being torn from that space in between where he’s deciding between life and death and ultimately that choice is taken from him. Abruptly. Brought back into self and flesh but neither of which are actually his. And Yuuji who is so so relieved because he saved Gojo in the only way he knew how.

And Gojo isn’t bothered. In fact this fulfills a sort of desire he held prior to his death that he NEVER planned to act on. It fulfills a black hole of possessiveness he’s felt over Yuuji and everything about and part of him. It was convenient that Yuuji chose this entirely of his own will.

I just think it could be fun to play with Gojo eventually kind of hating it too. Hating that he’s not fully present in everything outside of Yuuji. Hating that despite his presence as part of Yuuji his loss is mourned anyway. Because how couldn’t it be? Sure Yuuji can hand his consciousness over to Gojo but it’s still Yuuji’s body. It’s not HIS. Yes there is an intimacy to being inside of Yuuji all the time, but it’s also somewhat of a prison. The bars are flesh that he’s in love with though so he can’t fully hate it or resent Yuuji.

And Yuuji’s just glad he got his sensei back.

OK OK I GOT A DUMB IDEA: imagine scleritas shipping gortash and durge

realistically sceleritas is mad at first cuz i mean. hes gonna get fired basically 😭😭😭😭 but also he really seems to care abt durge and genuinely wants whats best for them

like maybe at some point where hes like….. just so EXHAUSTED from trying to keep durge away from gortash he sees how content they are together and is relieved that durge is smiling again for the first time in forever— if we’re accepting the idea that durge always kind of rebelled against their expectations as canon.

if not then maybe hes just glad to see them smiling so….. purely? like expressing real, guileless happiness. or maybe ur durge was a workaholic who was all work no play, so its nice to see gortash help them loosen up a little bit

either way i think sceleritas would begrudgingly admit that, at the very least, they make each other happy. and he likes to see durge happy

#SORRY DID THIS GET TOO LONG #I HAD SOME THOUGHTS #like i dont think he cares for gortash at all but he loves durge so much. and if durge loves gortash then…………….. well 🧍LMAO #asks

Okay hear me out...

What a shame - Lizzie McAlpine

This song was sung and written by Nancy who is in love with robin.

She never expressed her love for her and Robin is now in a relationship with Vickie.

It is too late now.

Like the fact that Nancy has just realised her love for Robin is not platonic and she cant get her mind off of her and she is thinking of all the things she wants to do with her... how after everything they have been through has made them a lot more tough and resilient than most girls their age.

Like Robin and Vickie have been together for a while now and from the outside they look so happy together and Nancy knows that it is too late to get Robin because she can't ruin her relationship and happiness.

But the selfish part of Nancy still wants Robin to herself and she just thinks about Robin leaving Vickie for her.

I mean the second verse is basically the same as the first but almost a little more intimate. Not only does she want to kiss and go slow. She wants Robin to make her laugh again. She wants Robin to kiss her back. She wants Robin to enjoy her as much as she would enjoy robin (okay maybe some bottom!Nancy which i love). "Its okay to be rough, I can handle this stuff" is suggesting that no matter what Robin does to her it cannot and will not compare to everything she has been through. From barb to everything else related to the upside down. But not only is she asking for this, she also just wants Robin to be comfortable and happy and doesn't want to push her past her limits! She loves that girl so dang much okay!!!!

But once again... she can't have her because she is seemingly happy with Vickie </3

Idk i just had thoughts while listening to this song and jahdjejdjejd

I could just imagine them all sitting around a campfire and Nancy borrows one of Eddies guitars and starts playing and singing this song. Shes sitting opposite from Robin and Vickie (who have their arms around each other) and not once did Nancy look up during the song.

When it was over she slowly lifted her gaze and met Robins wet eyes. Even though Robin can be slow at picking up social cues and isn't great when it comes to flirting... she always had a different feeling when it came to Nancy the priss Wheeler, the "straight" queen of Hawkins high. Yes she had feelings for her but she thought they were never going to be reciprocated. So Vickie, the supposed other queer kid in her year, was her best bet at getting a girlfriend.

But now Robin knows that maybe if she had of been brave Nancy and her could have been girlfriends. They could have been the ones sitting beside each other at this campfire with their arms around each other.

But no. Robin is with Vickie and Nancy has wrote this song about her.

Its too late now.

i've been thinking about this for a while. since i've saw a tweet of an a. mackie interview where he's just 'idk what's going on with the mcu multiverse plot' and i'm just like. . . of course, he doesn't know shit, his character didn't appear in anything new since tfatws. how is he supposed to know the multiverse plot if sam wilson didn't have any cameos or appearances since then???

sure, he could do some research but the point still stands. the fact he knows minimal is how the mcu's method of their storytelling of how things are connected is just pure bs. without sam wilson being seen as cap in any new stuff, his actor is basically clueless. if they had done that, maybe he'd be clued in. but he isn't and that's that. 😤

theres a lot of different ways people have illustrated the greed and evil of billionaires from visual portrayals of how big a billion actually is to comparing their philanthropy and how much money they have to highlighting the sufferings of those theyve exploited, and theyre all great demonstrations in of themselves.

but one i dont see quite as often is comparing the charitable works of every day people to that of billionaires. i think part of it is that a billionaire can donate more money to charity in one click of a finger than i can in my entire life, but i think another part is a combination of not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth while also not wanting to rock the boat.

a great example of that is the fact that you cant criticise mr beast/jimmy donaldson without people pushing it aside with the notion of "hes helping people" or "the guy could cure cancer and youd find something to criticise about it", which are endlessly frustrating and engaging with your criticism in bad faith.

but outside of him, youll see versions of it across the board for any philanthropic rich person. people automatically assume your criticism is coming from a cynical point of view, and often that you dont ever take part in charitable acts yourself.

and it is endlessly frustrating to run into that attitude every damn time like youre a dog running into that same glass door. because there is very valid criticism to be made about it.

because most of the time, these people could use that money to make lasting structural changes. i mean, the UN estimates you could end world hunger with $6billion, but no billionaires attempted to. on a smaller scale, you can build shelters or youth hubs or rehab facilities, or you could invest in ongoing work to help people out of poverty or improve local education or help people get better healthcare. or even just put your money where your mouth is and financially back the people trying to make these structural changes.

but these so-called philanthropists dont because systematic changes arent what they actually want. theyre this rich because of the system.

and their philanthropy is a form of propaganda; they want you to think the system is unchangeable and that your only options for improving your life is working yourself to the bone or for some kindly rich person to take pity on you and just hand you the money you need. the system is fucked, but the rich are good people who just want to help. this isnt some hot take, ro ramdin made a great video about mr beast specifically regarding this sort of thing. müne cat also has a video about it which is basically a 30 minute rant from her stream.

i know why you dont see the comparison of billionaire philanthropy to every day charity that often, and its because you have to preface the entire thing with the explanation that i just had to make, because most people dont want to think further than "give money to charity is good". i think part of that is people not realising everything is political, but thats a discussion for a different post.

originally, i started writing this just to get something out of my head. two days ago, i asked my mom if she still had the trumpet i accidentally stole from school (long short story) because id been thinking about the fact like, i could flog that for £200 and £200s a good bit of money. during the conversation, it came up that one of our neighbours had bought an empty guitar case from a charity shop for a fancy dress party, and all thoughts of flogging it were suddenly gone from my mind.

because it reminded me that i could donate it to a charity shop or find a local musical program aimed towards giving poorer kids a chance to learn how to play an instrument. and like, how could i flog it when i could do just a little bit of good with it.

a similar thing happened with these big marvel pictures i had in my room as a teenager. idk how much money theyd go for but they werent cheap when we bought them. but then my mom found this local charity where you could donate items that theyd then auction off and that money went directly to the local foodbank, and so thats where they went.

and this isnt for me to be like hey how good of a person i am; i do not give a shit about that. its about the fact that this mindset is directly opposed to that of billionaires and to neoliberalism in general.

you cant earn a billion dollars by being a good person, we all know that. but i do think a great illustration of it is to compare those billionaires with the people who run your local food bank or run charity drives or the people who put free period products in public bathrooms or the local deli owner who lets unhoused people eat for free.

Companion Verse: First meeting/recruiting

Location found: Goblin Camp or Emerald Grove

Requirements: Either location must be empty/mostly empty, or the Save the Grove/Raid the Grove quests to be completed

Encounter: Xavier is visibly lost and confused, with idle dialogue expressing as such and questioning why he is "back at the beginning" and how "nothing's like what it was before". He will become temporarily hostile on noticing the party, and will appear to initiate combat, but will notably not attack unless he is attacked first, with shouts on each turn warning the party to "stay back". Approaching him will initiate dialogue on his next turn, where the tadpoles reveal that he was on the mindflayer ship as well. This will end combat, as Xavier will recognize that they are in the same situation.

If he was attacked during combat, he will make a mention of it. He will be less forgiving towards Astarion and Lae'zel, and make no mention at all towards Wyll.

If there is space in the party: Xavier will accept the invitation fairly easily, noting that he needs to go home. He will show reluctance joining a party who had turned on the Grove, but will instead join with the note of needing to "finish the story".

If the party is full: Xavier will agree to work with them, and say that he will go to camp later that night. He can be brought into the party later, after speaking with him at camp.

Camp Location: Xavier will most often be found at the camp at night, sitting by the fire, or standing in a far corner during the day. He has no tent set up.

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

need to share an experience i had 30 minutes ago

(edit: thanks to @walks-the-ages for providing and reminding me to put alt text, sorry it slips my mind alot lol)

#my hands are still shaking to be quite honest i could not put a lot of effort into this. #but like. brain. why did you do that #literally i have been like hopelessly obsessed with de nonstop thinking abt it for the past couple of days it is Scaring me #it is terminal its soooo fucking chronic #disco elysium #kim kitsuragi #for anyone who wants to know i bumped into some guys car that was stopped for a school bus. i think my brain errored and thought #my foot was fully pressing down on the brake pedal but it wasnt. #i am like 99.99 percent sure neither of us had any major damage to our cars but we still filed a police report just in case #because insurance do be a bitch. dudes back bumper was scratched lightly and my front license plate has a dent now #also literally my first ever car accident that ive had ever yippee yay

[inkskinned]

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

#this is true #writeblr #warm up #relatedly for some reason one of our Favorite Jokes #amongst the Siblings #is like - ''this is so good u will love it'' #while we are reacting to something we OBVIOUSLY find viscerally disgusting #like we will be actively retching and be like ''nooooo it's so good'' #to the point that i sometimes get nervous if someone outside my family is like oh u should try it its good #(obvi we never force each other to eat anything. we are all just curious birds and #like. we're GONNA try the new thing.) #edit to answer why we had so much vanilla: #my mom is a very good cook and we LOVE to bake. so she just had a lot of staples in the house. #it's one of those things that's like. have u ever continuously thought ''ah i should get butter im probably out'' #even tho u are not out of butter. so u end up with like 5 years of butter. #my mom would do that in a costco but like with vanilla extract #to be fair we WERE always using WAY TOO MUCH bc we were kids #so like she was right to stock up #ps. yes we were VERY sick after this lol i just didn't want to include it in the post in case ppl had an ick about that #u can tell it's real bc we knew "oh no we fucked up that's too much vanilla to waste'' but our reaction was to just. keep drinking it #> sibling understanding that vanilla extract isn't free > knowledge mother doesnt mind if we use it for milkshakes #> sibling choice to maybe get in a loophole of ''not wasting it'' if we drink it bc that's the same as using it (not throwing it out) #listen bud i was like 13 and my sister was like 9 #when my mom discovered this we. got in. A LOT. of trouble. a lot of it. a LOT of it. #3rd edit bc i guess it isn't clear - i am 1 of my brother's 2 little sisters #i am the middle child #out of all the ways i have had to explain a post before being like ''did u forget a middle child can happen'' is my favorite
