i think trans people SHOULD get famous for bad art. i think trans people SHOULD get a major following for things they don't really put their whole heart into. i think trans people SHOULD be huge stars on the internet for decidedly mid quality content with problematic themes.

#i already blocked the person who this is a response to but needed to put it out into the world #besties. there's always gonna be kinda shit art that people go crazy for. there's always gonna be autotuned 4chord music on the radio #there's always gonna be shitty books that regurgitate the same plot over and over again #there will always be trash tv. there will always be low brow magazines #by saying a trans person isn't trans because their art is kinda shit and plays to the mainstream #and carries generally problematic themes bc they are still seen as normal in everyday life #you're implying that for trans ppl to be allowed to be famous they have to be BETTER than cis people #they have to be pure and good and make only high quality art #they have to be 100% unproblematic #especially this idea that every trans woman who is not in keeping with these Values(TM) is an anti-feminist #like. do you hold cis women to that same standard??? i don't fucking think so #anyway. rant over. ppl are assholes. #whalesong

i've fixated on the sticks for the past 7 months and i also just finished watching the first half of rottmnt s1 and also the movie, and i have come to the following conclusion:

this venn diagram is almost completely just straight-up a circle

#rosie babbles #sticks #rottmnt #animator vs animation #animation vs minecraft #red-coded brawler in a friend group of fighters who'd rather goof off and have fun but are more than capable of stepping up to save the day #questionable father figure whose past may or may not bite them all in the ass #has a kickass bestie who isn't really like them but can easily hold their own and may or may not be capable of uh. big laser blast. #(april would make it happen somehow i believe in her) #lives somewhere out of the way of 'normal' society #loves teensy weensy animals #the moment someone messes with the besties It Is On Fucking Sight #got possessed and forced to fight and nearly kill the besties once #canonically died in at least one timeline but through the power of Fuck You they're still kicking to this day #yellow-donnie parallels and the parallel conglomerate of blue-green-mikey-leo #are also bouncing around my head like a mach speed windows screensaver #it's 1:20 AM. help lmfaooooo #8:30 AM edit: OH I FORGOT ONE AHSJAHZHAHAA #they have also both been within a massive duplicate of themself controllable by their own movements and have used it for good at least once #tmnt

got queerbaited into reading a book by chatgpt. is this rock bottom

#girlblogging.pdf #apparently coding isn't the only thing that thing is ass at. fetching basic information is too #i mean i Wanted to read it anyway and i knew it wasnt queer before. idk why i let chatgpt gaslight me into believing i was making it up #whatever. neither the main character nor her best friend are textually queer or in love with each other. they're both pretty boy crazy tbh #but the mc is giving big aro vibes. like she's so done with her best friend every time she starts talking about men or crushes #also her crush on this guy is giving extremely platonic im not biased i swear #she just throws herself at him because she thinks itd be cool to date her besties crushs bff #so she could feel normal like her #they do have a cute friendship though. mc and the guy. also they start dating like 2 seconds after her bff dies so it's not really romantic #also theres a very cool lesbian who gets more pagetime than the guy and whos friendship with mc is super angsty so #w #its a really good book ok i just went in with really wrong expectations #like a sapphic hiaylm #but every day i grow closer to the great truth of my life that sapphic hiaylm will never exist #and i should stop looking for it and find the beauty in things for their originality and what they are #anyway in this case the lack of sapphicness did not detract from the book at all dont get me wrong #i just found it funny

Wait what do you mean people don't normally talk to themselves and give themselves therapy-

#what do you mean thats actually self awareness and isn't a common trait #talking to the bestie. he spoke to his mom about his friend's problem that is extremely similar to my friend's problem from yesterday #and what his mother told him helped me as well and now we are like #so we reacted like that because of this and that and im like oh makes sense also probably because idolizing love since aro spec #and hes like yes yes and my mom looked at me like poor little boy he doesnt know and im like whaaaat #so yeah we got external input and now understand a bit better our friends and their problems #and im still surprised by that part that people dont normally sit down with themselves and talk about what's wrong give therapy to themselve #how impressive... anyways im eating now ill probably go back to my normal programing a bit later and will start to annoy everyone #seari talks

i still havent figured out the deal with prosciutto and pesci in wayr

#its rly difficult because i basically have to unbizarre the bizarre adventure #and i have to adjust for the way i formatted things as well #like i didn't write in sale and zucchero because there's no motivation for them to have any involvement #in the wayr au polpo is like the principal and isn't really written in the story much bc Vice Principal Bruno is a more active character #and has more interaction on average with the students as pseudo-guidance-counsellor #polpo didn't die and there's no treasure so sale and zucchero have no motivations to be relevant so i didn't write them #and bruno doesn't have to do anything for the role of 'capo' since he's pretty much already in an analogous position in the school #and like ive turned a bunch of assassins with supernatural abilities into schoolkids in way over their heads with espionage attempts #their motivation isnt boss underpaying em its some of their besties nearly died taking a bet too far and ofc they dont trust cops bc acab #and partially bc 1. theyre delinquents 2. sorbet and gelato are a gay couple and (3.) were in fact trespassing on private property #wayr fic #jjba #golden wind #vento aureo #prosciutto #pesci #im not saying there's no supernatural elements like i think trish's debut makes it clear there's some weird shit happening #it's just supernatural because in this world it's /not/ normal because there are no stands and bizarre shit is an outlier

(different anon!) oh my gosh i'm so sorry people are already discoursing about the panel and fandom's response...personally i think in a world where fictional queer sexuality is so often the source of shame and a thing to hide, it'd be monumental for stede's perception of himself changing ("becoming a man") because he accepts himself and is proud of queer sex and sexuality. it's so shallow to assume that in this Very Specific Context saying stede having sex will make him a man must mean we all also think that applies to literally every single other context...ESPECIALLY because one of the most prevalent themes in OFMD is the notion that everyone's own idea of becoming a man or what makes them a man is going to be different. so terribly sorry for rambling in your inbox it just infuriates me to see people being deliberately obtuse in order to find something to be upset about. also i'm ace if that changes the perception of what i'm saying here

No no please, don't apologize at all! You articulated and encapsulated exactly what I was trying to say. So like-

#Answered #Anons #OFMD #Also #Funnily enough I am demi PFFF #I am ALSO ace #And yes I'm very excited over the potential for exactly the reason you stated #So often it's made to be something shameful #So I'm truly excited for the possibility of it being celebrated and shown to be something beautiful #Not to mention also that like #An intimate scene between two middle aged individuals would be so incredible too #Because I feel like society places such a huge focus on younger individuals #So getting to see that amount of love and passion between middle aged men would be SO amazing #ALSO sorry besties I know ~*~discourse~*~ normally isn't my thing #And I normally don't intend to provoke or upset or anything of the sort #I just thought it would turn into a discussion or be a one time thing and it was NOT SHDKJS #but you feel me anon you feel me

ASK MEME HUH? 😏 prepare yourself here :^)

okay okay so. (for the kid fic ask) 2 or 8 (toddler) or 3 (teenager)? with any parent child combination you feel like

I know this is a prime chance to write some angst but I have entered silly mode at some point lately so you get AU silliness only SLIGHTLY tinged with angst, I hope that's alright ssadkajshdnkbfk

Kid/Parent Fic Prompts

3. "Everyone makes mistakes, it's okay."

"Hey, August, your dad said I'd find you..." Emma trails off, stopping halfway through the door as she takes in the scene before her. "...here. What are you guys doing?"

To Marco's credit, his son is, in fact, sitting in the shed just like the man had said. The only issue is that he's not alone - in fact, a swooping three of the kids in his care are crowded around him, typewriter pushed to the side as they peer at something taking center place on the table.

August looks up from it momentarily to shoot her a slight grin, which does nothing to soothe her confusion. "Scientific research."

"On a lamp? Thought that had been patented a while ago."

"Yes, but this is a monad lamp. We're trying to figure out if there's actually a cricket in here."

Emma's gaze moves to the object in question, eyebrows raised. "And that other guy's letting you? Isn't this literally attached to his hip most of the time?"

"We traded for the day!" The smallest of the puppets chirps excitedly, all but bouncing on August's knee. "Gina's showing him around, and we get to hang out with Gemini!"

"I see."

The problem with these kids, in Emma's mind, is that while they might have fairly contrasting personalities, there's something in them that betrays their connection even at first glance. Cedar's a sweet girl and the strange one with the metal arm is prone to brooding, and the two younger boys (she needs to find better nicknames to differentiate them than Big One and Little One, honestly - they bring to mind Tweedledee and Tweedledum, sometimes, but they'd probably take offense to that) are just unruly children like any other, and still they all share faint traces of past events that make her understand August a little bit more.

Right now, for example, the man has got a boy perched on his lap and Cedar leaning onto his shoulder, the other boy sitting on the tabletop with his ruined legs dangling over the edge, and yet they're all looking at her like they're about to tell her to take a leap of faith...or blow something up and ask her for help, at least, given Big Pinocchio's tendencies and those of the guy they call P. Emma should be backing away before it's too late, honestly.

"Doesn't that thing talk, anyway?" She hears herself asking instead, as if that were the most pressing matter. "Can't you just ask?"

"He's recharging," Cedar replies, ever the most helpful of them all. "That's why P left him at home. Grandfather said Gemini's not allowed to be around us unsupervised anymore, since the last time he tried to teach some nasty words to-"

"Hey!" The Pinocchio sitting on the table glares at her, a thunderous look on his face. "That's none of your business! Don't be a snitch!"

"It's not snitching if it's true! You only want to know because you've got a point to prove, anyway."

The boy sniffs haughtily, turning away. "I don't need to prove anything. I'm right. We've all got a cricket, so P should have one too."

"You're wrong. I never got a cricket, and Dad doesn't have one either-"

Emma can clearly see August barely stifling a laugh, the bastard. "Don't let Jiminy hear you say that, Cedar- I can assure you, he helped me quite a lot before he got a degree."

"I don't have a cricket," the little one says, beaming, seemingly unbothered by the squabble. "I just have Gina."

"Gina counts."

"Gina does not count, she's a duck." Cedar sighs, shaking her head of dark curls. "Why are you so worried about this, anyway? Your cricket isn't here, either."

One would expect Big Pinocchio to have a snappish retort for that, as well, and yet, none comes. Instead he seems to curl even further into himself, his glower even deeper, like a turtle tucking head and tail into its shell. "Yeah, but he was there," he mutters, much lower than before. "No one else could see him, so they thought I was making him up, but I wasn't. He was real, and I wasn't crazy."

The two adults exchange a look, the mood grown a tad more somber all of a sudden. This, perhaps, is the other thing these children have in common, and it's much less amusing than the first one - they have had some awful experiences already, for being so young, and sometimes they mention it in such an offhanded way, it sounds like everyday stuff, like making the bed or running errands.

Maybe it was everyday stuff for them, before. That doesn't make it more reassuring, either.

"That's okay." August sounds softer, too, as he leans closer to the boy and tries to meet his eyes. "We know you're not crazy. Those boys in your old school- they didn't have the full picture. Everyone makes mistakes, when they don't have the full picture."

And that, a smidge more teasing, once he has finally gotten Pinocchio to look up: "And I mean everyone. You know, Emma here, she didn't believe I was made of wood, in the beginning. Guess who proved her wrong later."

"Seriously?" Emma exhales heavily, relieved that her friend has been able to handle the situation so well and yet resigned to the fact that August continues to be, well, himself. "You only butt into this argument to throw me to the wolves?"

"You wouldn't want me to get in the way of a scientific debate, do you?"

If this were a normal conversation between the two of them, she would tell him to stop being so cheeky; but as it is, there are three more people in the room with them right now, people who have barely stopped looking wary and guarded before returning to their analysis of an otherworldly piece of machinery. There is little Emma can do beside playing along, distracting them from whatever effects the past still has on them all. She owes them that, at least.

"Alright," she says, dragging a spare stool closer and finding a spot near the table, mindless to how Cedar moves to lean on her instead, as is the nature of things.

"Let's crack this, then. I came over to ask something else, but you guys got to me. Show me what you've got, Gemini."

i think my favorite gate of whimsy bizarre room is probably the phantomart one solely because hailey can also get it which means that you can get some pretty good items as her since you can buy stuff normally. but also because jibanyan still rides in the cart. best oversight i think-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #yw3 #this playthrough i've just gotten boring gates of whimsy. and also an expert room where i fought unkaind once #had all my yo-kai oneshot and then promptly left #10/10 would recommend- /j #i just wanna match the comedy of my last playthrough where during one of the parts in nate's story where buck follows you on the overworld #i went into a gate of whimsy. greatly amusing to me. normal bestie activities #i don't know why it's so funny to me but it is. but i have shit gate of whimsy luck honestly 😔 #i've found more as hailey than as nate. gate globes are literally useless as hailey and i'm not at chapter 6 yet- #tbh wouldn't be surprised if chapter 5 takes me all day. grumbler's grotto sucks #n hailey's chapter 5 is hard. it's fun but it's also hard #you have to fight meganyan and doctor maddiman in the same chapter. and there's a third key quest but i don't remember it rn- #oh god that's when you can start the pop star photo quest too isn't it. hell #in my first save files i only have two left i'm pretty sure and idk which ones i've found so guides aren't helpful 😔 #anyways. haven't even played 3 yet today i'm just hyperfixating <3

okay the jokes about bi women with jakey ass boyfriends were funny but I'm gonna need everybody to stop before people start getting too comfortable and start getting really biphobic with it

#like the first couple times were funny but like. I do not like the direction this is going. my bestie has straight up got hate comments #for being a bi girl with a bf like people are saying she has it so easy is basically straight etc like😭 #not that biphobia (against bi women specifically) didn't exist before this joke blew up recently but some people think it's a lil Too #funny to call bi women with boyfriends basically straight #as if they're like. what? lying about being bi? faking it for attention like what do you think. they're not actually bi bc they're dating #a man. idk just don't like direction this is going #as a person with the opposite problem (people I'm insisting I'm a lesbian) I kinda get it like it obvs doesn't feel great to have people #doubt your sexuality. especially in the context of them making fun of you #ALL THIS BEING SAID this isn't abt my mutuals and friends who I know are normal and not biphobic AND this is not about not making fun #of jakey boyfriends. obviously i think they should all kill themselves. #carmen.txt
