#inch gets weird

[inchidentally]

Lando being friends with basically the entire grid and known them all for years and years and he's all their sweet baby brother even if they're all fierce rivals at the same time and Lando is getting real sick of being on that lower step looking up but he is so good about celebrating their successes

and then he gets a younger teammate who is really quiet and mellow and doesn't go in for The Lando Effect bromance or even use Lando to help his own image (which Oscar could rly have used at the time) but then !! that's The Boy who ended up changing his own habits and even what he eats to suit Lando and who takes note of who is in Lando's life and what they mean to him. Lando can say how he misses his old teammates and The Boy just concurs quietly next him because he does know what those guys meant to Lando and he won't even jokingly act insecure about it bc it's a different part of Lando's life. and then he learns all the quirks and shifts in mood that normally make Lando "difficult" or "funny" to most people but are just part of what make Lando special to him. so Lando can fully let himself be loud or quiet or bratty or sweet and The Boy just smiles at him the same way.

and Lando can't help but be caught up in his own first podium of the season but not only does The Boy ensure in his post race interview that the swap was totally fair and Lando was faster but then he stands there beside Andrea smiling and tall and kind at his own home race having come fourth while Lando's distracted by his own trophy. because when Lando loses his words he looks right up at The Boy watching him and asks for help and knows just the right word he needs! because when Lando deserves something or Lando just really needs something and The Boy is anywhere nearby he knows it'll be okay!

something about landoscar being the sleeper ship that constantly sneaks under the radar of every other Lando ship and ends up spearing me through the heart over just a few tiny but extremely telling moments on camera ;__;

#'is this all you're focusing on after that race' #yes it is sorry #maybe it's bc I want an Oscar for myself idkkkk #to be friends is great #to trust someone completely is like #pyramid of needs filled in completely #inchidentallyanessay #inch gets weird

did we ever figure out what snoozle town fucking means

#dex says things #i THINK i get it #so sniglette has dreams beyond her world and blinky doesnt like that #so they beat her within an inch of her life which. Is the closest weve seen to any of the lords (confirmed) Things feeling pain #and it freaks me out. yknow? #its . supposed to be a weird lord in black. again another Show of propaganda like tgwdlm where they. #make a show out of the nonbeliever that shit.

Damn these twinks built completely identical huh, wonder what that’s about

#cw sh #isat #isat fanart #isat siffrin #isat loop #isat spoilers #isat odile #isat isabeau #anyway I don’t think loop wanted to wear clothes but Bonnie mentioned how weird the fact they were ‘naked’ #and like idk loop has the most fragile ego and cares so much about the child liking them that this needed to be fixed IMMEDIATELY #they would us the opportunity to request 2 inch heels to be taller than siffren (since sif has like 1 inch heels) and uh it’s been a while #their ass keeps like stumbling on rough terrain and REFUSES to acknowledge it or else they get sensitive #anyway unrelated odile clocks the loop siffren thing so fast but she’s never the one discovering information #other party members will accidentally prompt some information out of them and Odile like snaps her neck in the suitable direction to listen #also odile is helping sif either fully remove or swap out their bandages because god am I definitely normal about the act 5 glass dialogue #I thinks odile helps with sifs injuries :) I think she reminds him to like put stuff on his eye scar cause bitches forgetful

Fandom response to Laudna’s trauma? Especially the whole “she’s been through so much, more than anyone else in the party, but she’s never stopped being sweet and kind and gentle 🥺” thing people do with their faves that drives me up a goddamn wall

Oh man it's so interesting, huh, how this is how people talk about Laudna, isn't it? And also Imogen? And Jester? and Keyleth? and sometimes Vex? I wonder what the pattern is here? Surely the I Support Women's Wrongs website loves when women's trauma responses are complex and ugly and selfish and violent! Surely they wouldn't always insist how wonderful it is that the women swallow and tolerate their pain and are so good and kind to others no matter how much the world hurts them, and rebrand this tradwife-ass mentality as hopepunk?

Laudna is a tricky case in that, as I've said a number of times, (most recently yesterday) her concept is not always clearly realized. I think it's true that she has been through a lot (anyone who decides trauma is a competition should be thrown out a window post-haste, but it is valid to say Laudna's had an extremely rough go of it) but frankly I wouldn't consider her gentle nor sweet, and her kindness tends to be real but in a childlike naive way that makes her worryingly easily to manipulate. I think her responses to other people's moments of crisis are (understandably! due to trauma!) very poorly calibrated and, demonstrably, her go-to response to betrayal is to try to violently suck out someone's soul to the point of death. I also think the fact that she and Delilah are deeply intertwined (as Matt said, essentially dissolved into each other at this point) makes it hard to talk about her because someone trying to argue for the uwu perfect baby who is always trying so hard can just blame it on Delilah; shades of another "haha interesting how this fandom interpretation exclusively happens with women characters" pattern, in which when they're murderous and unkind it's some controlling force that removes their own agency, and without any sense that one is still obligated to apologize and attempt to make good on involuntary harm.

So: yeah, type 2, pretty much exclusively tbh which is rare.

#answered #Anonymous #this is a weird choice i suppose but when it comes to female characters in this fandom the line that comes to mind #is that climactic moment in Hedwig where she screams LOVE THE FRONT OF ME. like people do NOT like who they are #they like a fanonized sanitized She Tries So Hard To Be Good Despite It All version #and hate the actual front of the character with scars and angry inches. #they're fine with the outside monster - the form of dread and the ribcage dog #but god forbid she's anything less than pure of heart inside #anyway. alexa play Not a Pretty Girl again maybe they'll get it this time #cr tag #laudna

A long ass time ago @helioshellion posted this drawing of Majima taking (begrudging) care of an old, decrepit Sagawa and it did things to my brain...

I finished this character lineup a while ago. It's for a comic I want to make. I've already got a couple pages finished so I'll get around to posting those in a couple days.

#Really should've made Yasuko a bit taller in this lineup. I meant for her to be 6 ft and wearing like. 6 inch heels but I messed it up!!! #Also click the images for better quality. #It was a pain in the ass trying to get all of the images to display the full-body characters without Tumblr cropping them weird #but now some of them look like they aren't as good quality :') #yakuza #my art #yakuza fanart #majima goro #kiryu kazuma #sawamura haruka #saejima taiga #saejima yasuko #sagawa tsukasa

[cleromancy]

its so weird that fandom will hc tim as being tall when hes like. one of the only non-kid male characters in the comics who is actually canonicqlly on the short side, certainly one of the most prominent ones... like why does he need to be tall. to you.

#its weird. its weird to do this #also do nottttt @ me about the perma-17 thing you know what i fucking mean #(& they havent even been writing him as a teenager for a long time regardless of whether or not he specifically had an onpage birthday) #dc #its especially weird to me to make a point of him being taller than steph or cass bc bestie even the updated stats its only by 1 inch! #and frankly if u don't reject that 1 inch as Fake and Sucks i dont get u

every day i think about feferi peixes

#krill chirps #my stuff #i feel like shes just. shes an Interesting Character to me #despite being not really any sort of focus character #she was the heiress to alternia and disagreed with the condesce thats Inch Resting to me #idk i feel like having her just be some sort of filler character on par with nepeta or equius was a sort of waste of Something #like. worldbuilding i Guess #iirc ah actually like. Mentioned that meenah is so cool and pretty relevant to sort of make up for pisces who got “saddled” with feferi #it just always struck me as odd that even tho she was like the princess and one of the nicest trolls (which is considered odd in alternia) #she barely had any time in the spotlight #ITS JUST. i think the hemospectrum as a Whole is pretty underdeveloped #its a v interesting piece o’ worldbuilding but not super expanded on when you get into specific castes? #BUT ESPECIALLY FUSCHIAS #bc like. it was just a weird move to say hello heres the Princess of this Fucked Up Murder Society and she Doesnt Want To Murder and also #her mom is an eldritch beast #and then just murder the gal #AND THATS NOT EVEN GETTING INTO HER RELATIONSHIP WITH ERIDAN #or the fact that the fandom boils her down to the sweet irrelvant fishpun princess #(classic fandom misogyny moment. btw) #when in canon shes got a MEAN STREAK! #she is RUDE SOMETIMES #stop flattening her fudusudueusifoekfjej #feferi peixes #homestuck #maintagging them bc i put a shit ton of stuff into the notes #look at my words boy #i dont think its wasted potential for feferi specifically as much as it is the Idea of feferi #its not like she got a whole arc that was abandoned #its more like. she Could have had an arc #it just never started. idk. i like feferi shes cool

OKAY I'm supposed to be getting my haircut on monday but I'm thinking. I skip it.

#this is scary for me!!! #i have had my haircut every six odd weeks basically since i cut it short. #I've been wanting to grow it out a bit for so long but I'm very scared because i know it is going to really bother me #but i need to just bute the bullet and deal with my hair being longer. otherwise my hair won't get longer. #idk!!! #feeling weird tonight anyway and mum made me doubt myself earlier so i think i just need some reassurance or something #and when i say grow my hair longer i mean literally like an inch. #i know this may not seem like a big deal but it is to me! #my hair is the longest it's been in years as it is so it is an adjustment for me. #the only reason I'm hesitant is because i know if it does bother me it is going to really bother me and i may perhaps be unbearable. #but I'm hoping that i will be able to push through? #idk!!! idk i just needed to get some thoughts out #I'm feeling really out of it and overwhelmed this evening #i might have to skip watch party idk. either way I'm gonna get upset about it so fuck me i guess

[bonetrousledbones]

on another note ever since i cut my hair my waves kinda died out and i’ve been trying to get them back but also half-accepting that i probably cut it too short to wave anymore and anyway today i woke up with just enough waves to make my hair goddamn unruly

#trousled rambles #they're not all back yet and even these few are weird lookin..........but its GETTIN THERE !!!!! #my hair is definitely getting like exponentially poofier every time i wash it tho #how do i have more hair after chopping off like 20 inches

[vitamin-zeeth]

I love love love weird fucked up queer media and I WILL talk about whatever I'm watching to anyone who'll listen however I also have religious parents and this means I've perfected the art of describing plots in great detail while completely leaving out all the weird/queer/fucked up/generally un-christian bits. Now this is unfortunate because those are all the best parts.

#i save the full descriptions for my friends who ive desensitised by showing them all my favourite weird queer fucked up media #and for the cool people on tumblr who ALSO are freaks for weird queer fucked up media #but i get pretty fucing far with my parents. you wouldnt believe how long i talked to my mum about hedwig before even mentioning #that shes typically played by a guy and yitzvak by a woman. and i literally completely left out the whole yk sex change #drove my friend crazy at school today talking about it tho. she didnt get any of that shit taken out #wet floor sign #hedwig and the angry inch #hedwig #queer

[curiosity-killed]

I never get why people are so hung up on me cutting my own hair (or, generally, any significant hair cut) like. It is hair. It will grow. That is kind of Its Thing. Why are you acting like I’m doing experimental heart surgery in my bathroom

#my sister is the worst for this which goes back mostly to a lot of her #seeming to think/act like I am an extension of her rather than being an autonomous person with my own damn body and mind #but my mom and friends are also opposed and weird about it #and am like bro #my hair grows quite fast #also 99% of the time it is up #so even if I mess up it’s easy to hide #AND if I rlly fuck it up I can get it cropped again and it will still look cute #everyone take a breath and remember #it’s my own damn body #personal #anyway I chopped some inches tonight and had a lovely little spa night

Nothing pisses me off more than when people talk about my friendships with mid-support needs autistics and other people with differently-wired brains as if I am descending to help them because I’ve taken them on as a charity case. That is NOT true. Oh they’re a burden because they’re neurodivergent? WELL GUESS FUCKING WHAT: SO AM I! THE REASON I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS WITH SO MUCH SHIT WRONG WITH THEM IS BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF SHIT WRONG WITH ME. WE ATTRACT EACH OTHER! WE LIKE EACH OTHER! IT’S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND!

#How about I just start strangling ableists from now on? #Would THAT convince them I’m actually this person’s real friend? #Literally nothing I say to them is able to get through their dense fucking skulls— #as if it’s sooooo hard for them to believe I actually enjoy their company #Also (halfway unrelated): if I hear “It takes a special person to work with special children” one more time I am going to SCREAM #Tell me I’m calm; tell me I’m patient; tell me I’m creative— do NOT tell me I’m “special” for doing a job I LOVE #Can you imagine telling a quantum physics major “It takes a special person to solve special math problems?” #😂💀 WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I’m gonna start saying that to people from other professions. To see how they like it. #The children are not a burden to me; the children are very enjoyable to be around #and I enjoy troubleshooting what is preventing them from learning and coming up with workarounds for them #I made a glued roll of paper for a kid who constantly peels their skin because I saw them peeling crayons #It works! #I made math problems into a Skibidi Toilet role playing game for another kid who hides under tables when it’s time to work. It works! #You know why I was able to come up with either of these inventions? Huh? You wanna fucking know? #1.) I peel my lips and mouth and palms of my hands and calluses and cuticles and scabs; and #2.) I have awful executive dysfunction and have to do weird stuff to engage myself #People talk to me like I’m one of the “normal” ones; little do they know I’m getting assessed for ADHD and score 142 on the RAADS-R #and I essentially self-destruct when I get mad so I don’t break valuable items or punch through drywall and oak doors #I give myself bruises that swell a half inch high and form hematomas under the skin #I think I’ve permanently weakened the blood vessels and a vein in my right thigh from beating it so much #because it only takes one well-placed blow on my right; but several blows to my left #And I can see the bruise pooling towards my heart along the path of that vein from day to day after the initial beating #and sometimes it just randomly aches when it’s not injured; so I have to shift my weight when the kids sit in my lap wrong #so with that and something else I did to it not super recently that I should have gone to urgent care for… I probably have nerve damage lol #so it’s gross when people say such things about other NDs to me as if I am above them #Just fuck off already

I forget how comfortable my life is living w just my parents, in terms of being comfortably out, then have to listen to my brother go on a homophobic rant, that I can't tell if its a joke or not, but was really hurtful :)

#twas very uncomfortable to sit thru #the words 'what if i told you i was gay' on my tongue 'am i disgusting?' #i dont understand straight white boys #you do all this gay chicken w your friends. say all this weird stuff that makes me 🤨 #(<- ex. joking abt sucking dick bcs theyre eating a 12 inch hot dog. circa cota gp lol) #but then say these horribly homophobic things #i dont understand men #i can never tell if hes joking when he says things like this #bcs he likes to be argumentative and inflammatory. and knows we'll get pissed at him for this #so its like. are you saying this bcs you truly believe it or are you just being irritating. or both #he randomly said smth abt how the romans and greeks did gross gay things #and im like. should this not make you think 'wow homosexuality has existed for centuries. ig its pretty natural!!' #<- thats always my takeaway. theres been records of it since basically the beginning of recorded history #and i look at it and feel comforted :] this has always been a thing and always will be thing #and then people like him basterdize it completely misinterpret it ;;;; #i like him but when hes back living w us I remember how horrible his views and opinions are #ugh i live w my parents and theyre so accepting abt it and willing to learn more and change #and then i remember how fucking shit the rest of my family is #well ah dw i got back at him by calling him gay sjkfkglg #catie.rambling.txt

i was telling my gf how this year for some reason ive lost a lot of my hips/ ass/ thighs like maybe the second weight shift ive had with hrt but she was like its probably more obvious to me so i wore my tightest jeans and she was like Dude Where Did Your Ass Go like exactly my point

#i dunno how to feel abt it i always hated my hourglass body but did i get attached to it and now its weird that mens pants fit me?? #legitimately lost 5 inches of ass but my waist is the same its literally not going anywhere just vanishing i think thats my concern

[milkweedman]

2 weird interactions with strangers in the same afternoon that my hip dislocated while I was out so I had to walk around incredibly slowly so as not to collapse. Which presumably is not a coincidence ?

#they werent being rude or mean which is what i usually get in response to being disabled #but im also not usually shuffling along at 4 inches per step and 1 step every 2 seconds or so #they were actually being pretty helpful just in a very weird way that i dont know what to make of #would annoy the fuck out of me if i got that often tho :/ #but it was a cashier putting the two small things i was holding in a bag for me despite my forgetting to ask #and an old woman on a walk with her dog stopping to give me space as i crossed the street #which was nice bc otherwise her dog would have gotten way too close but also was bizarre #the weird part is just the way they were talking me #like very carefully and slowly and kept asking if i was ok #idk man #disability
