#accidentally slept through my only class today #which whoops sorry. (my 9am english) #which kind of killed step 1 of a plan of mine but thats okay #anyways THEN i had to go downtown to pick up this award bc i forgot to show up to the ceremony like a dumb dumb #but the building was like a 25 minute walk and it was COLD (punishment for my dumb dumbness tbh) but anyways i got there early so i walked #around the block and then went inside and picked up my medal #and i was already far downtown so then i popped my head in a couple of stores as i slowly walked back #got a few things from target. new hair clip nail polish m&ms pens and then a mango. very excited to eat that either later today or tomorrow #then i popped in the calligraphy store and then the comic shop and looked around. saw some white ribbon in the calligraphy store which ive #been looking for but didnt get it because it was a bit wide and kind of expensive and i want a lot for my project idea #(want to write out some of my favorite poems on them in sharpie and then use it to accessorize) #and then i went to the comic shop and peeked around. saw a nubia issue and a few gl 2021s in the discount bin but i didnt get them bc #they were all middle issues and i havent read those books yet although i do want to someday bc my guys were in them. one of the gl 21s even #had simon on the cover so i was very !!!!!!!! thats my guy!!!!! #didnt buy anything there but i did ask the guy to make sure to order a copy of the spirit world tpb so ill stop by to get that in a few wks #and then i went to the bookstore cafe and got a cold brew and did a but of English there. they have tables in the stacks its nice. the one i #grabbed was just surrounded by old paperbacks of sci fi and thrillers lol. didnt see anything id read but recognized a few author names like #card (no enders game though) and the pern lady (idk her name i havent read it). anyways did half a blog post thats technically late (ill #backdate though dw) and then packed up and i grabbed a gyro from the halal cart on that block which i just finished back at my dorm <3333 #anyways good times. now im gonna try and spam some work and go to freaking trivia team for the first time in a month later. oops #blah #oh and i think the halal cart guy may have given me a free soda. unsure abt that though bc its possible it came with and i was just being #silly again. so anyways i had a ginger ale too

i know i should probably still be touching my two week old tattoo as little as possible, but the lines are slightly raised and they feel SO COOOOOOL

#but hey seems like at least now i don't have to worry so much about accidentally infecting it or tearing some of the ink out or whatever #i deserve a damn medal for not messing with it at all last week #when it was mercilessly ITCHY AS HELL and had some flakey/peely bits #of the sort that would be SO satisfying to pull off. you know the ones #seriously unless you too are a chronic skin picker you have NO IDEA how big of a deal/accomplishment that was #aaaaskdjfkdjshf i already love this tattoo so much even though it's not even halfway done #so so excited to go back in a couple weeks and get Wavy Stuff :) boy i just love some good wavy stuff #ghost blahs

Me, reading this chapter when Marinette decides to risk her cover to have more time with Adrien: Marinette NO

Marinette,not listening to me: Marinette YES.

I really get where she coming from and it's so sad that she can't have that with him yet but inviting him as cat walker on her balcony is so dangerous for everyone. I just love how you can understand the motivation while screaming at your screen not to do it. I loved this chapter so much ❤

Also therapy ! Therapy for everyone in this fic.

lol i have to agree with you on this. marinette is Not making good choices at all and she really finds it hard to care. i'm glad you still root for her even though she's showing herself to be a very flawed protagonist lol. *hulk voice* i see this as an absolute win.

#oh they're all lined up for therapy after this yeah #i already have the therapist picked out actually #her name is rose lavillant #let's give her a medal ahead of time #odnlb

bestie you once mentioned offhand an au of pdd where christen sleeps with alex and it has stayed in my head ever since - what would be the context! when! does tobin find out! hit me with your thoughts if you’re into it, I love a rare pair!!

I do vaguely remember saying that but I also cannot find it so everything I'm saying now could totally contradict what I said then but. I think like. if C's relationship to T (not with her but towards her) is based in feelings of grief and anger then her relationship to Alex is much more acidic. They do have a lot of history but most of it is just time spent in the same vicinity of each other, coldly ignoring one another, sharing friends and being jealous. So I feel like them hooking up would be a much more viscous overflow but also much less weighted for them.

Probably it would be one of them getting the role the other wanted in studio company and having sex about it. If it was an ongoing thing I could see it being a moment after a Grand Prix where one of them won and the other messed up—probably with a lot of goading and also I do believe in this AU Alex is the kind of character who would wear her Grand Prix medal while having sex with C in the hotel afterwards. I don’t think it works as well as a dynamic between the two adult versions of the characters but I can still see some level of that bizarre psychosexual staunch avoidance thing they have going on.

Body and your relationship to your body and your connection to other peoples bodies and peoples perceived ownership or entitlement to your body is at the heart of a lot of pdd and because C and Alex have both been basically raised in that environment I think them hooking up would be very much about acting out frustration in a way they both understand. Like; Move like this because you feel this.

Like I sincerely don't mean for sex in this story to be about power. It isn't—even when power is a dynamic within it—but it is kind of about a feeling of being present in your own body for the first time, manipulating your body for someone else’s pleasure while getting to be the object rather than the subject of that pleasure.

I think how Tobin would react to it depends on any number of factors which would change with the context. Like if C and T were sleeping together the way they are in the actual story I think it would probably mean the end of the sexual part of their relationship, at least for a while, because T feels very invested in what she does with C and it would feel cheapened by finding out about Alex. If it was something that happened as teenagers I think she’d be kind of weirded out by it but hey we’ve all had weird overly invested hate sex with christen press so. actually this makes tobin very feel normal and usual and regular and it’s fine.

#I do think it’d be fun with some weird sex after one has gotten one over the other dynamic #because I think for the person who’s just lost it’s a sense of control back in the situation #and for the one who’s lost it’s a validation of that feeling and a level of like. somewhere to put the looming ‘this isn’t worth it’ #if someone else wants what you have so badly they’re willing to do *this* then surely it’s worth it. surely. surely. #also now that I’ve come up with it the image of Alex wearing her medal while they fuck isn’t getting out of my head #and of course they’re kind of narrative foils and the path is so inevitable and we’ve been here a million times before. #the story is finished before you’ve even opened the book the ending has already happened #so Christen comes back to New York and Alex has a baby and a room full of trophies and an undignified desire for more. more of anything. #and you were both always going to end up here. a hundred million miles apart even though you can sit across the table at a dinner party #or kiss her cheek in greeting or even mean it a little when you say congratulations #but you still remember being nineteen and lying next to her when your rent was too much to keep on top of #and you weren’t sure you’d ever be anything and you’re not sure that you loved her #but you’re not sure what else to call the gaping black hole of the year and even if #you didn’t love her it still seems so horribly unfair that you never got the chance to #because the story was already over before it begun and she was gone the first time you ever kissed her #asks #pas de deux

BLOOD CURSE UPON BETHESDA AND AMAZON ONE MILLION YEARS

#fallout #party talk #holy shit it was bad #like even as just a show it was bad #i’m well aware of my own biases and i was already going into this with low expectations #but i have to congratulate the writers for making the bare minimum look like the gold medal fucking standard #the characters were mostly bland #the story was just a mishmash of the first and third games #the pacing was god awful #so was the writing generally #and don’t get me fucking started on the lore #to all the people who say ‘oh the lore isn’t that important! you have to make changes for adaptation!’ #when someone makes an adaptation of a property i’m going to expect that property #everything is just a mischaracterization of all the lore from previous games #and what is with the obsession with making everything rubble and raiders all the time? #why can’t the ncr be around? #oh and as for shady sands and new vegas being nuked #don’t tell me shit like ‘the stuff in the games still happened the nukes fell after that!’ #that doesn’t make it better #even if it still happened it doesn’t matter anymore #that’s still a retcon #is fallout forever doomed to be done poorly now? #god i hope not

"girl dad" "boy mom" i am begging y'all to stop letting the gender of your child play any role in how you parent them, or how you view others parenting their children. its vile.

#its not cute or wholesome when a dad shows up for his daughter its literally his fucking job #its not cool or normal for a mom to be incestuously obsessed with her son to the point where she already hates his future wife #when his tiny ass cant even say 'hello' #like you guys obsess over mediocre men who do the bare minimum for THEIR OWN KIDS #and its like #i get it. you didnt have that and you think its insanely good hearted of a dad to be there #but its not #its literally his fucking job #he doesnt deserve a medal for doing the bare minimum

What are some good pc laptops where the charger connector/ power connector is not thin as shit and breaks easily.

What I'm trying to say is i want a laptop where the hole you put the charger in ,and the plug you stick into the laptop to charge ,to be thicker and less likely to snap.

#my previous Accer had the charger break inside and the little medal fucker inside of the laptop that connects to the plug itself snapped. #and it was paper thin-the hole and the plug #i am currently using an old HP laptop with a thicker and sturdier power connector #but it's old and the fan is already so loud it might die at anytime #i have no tec knowledge so i'm not sure what would be best #my post.

i have copied this comment without name because i think it is very kind and respectful and i do not want buckaroos interpreting it the wrong way. PLEASE UNDERSTAND this buckaroo is very sincere and has important points and please respect their way. i am going to answer in a way that is counter to their point and i do not want buds to go after them IN ANY WAY. THEY ARE PROVING LOVE AND THEY HAVE GOOD POINTS

okay here is what i have to say:

i have not transitioned and in this lifetime i do not expect to. i think you have a good point of 'how can you know?' and honestly i cannot know that is just how timelines and reality and perception work

HOWEVER i must caution against this train of thought slightly because what works for one buckaroos MAY NOT WORK for another. every time i talk about my non-dysphoric way there are plenty of well meaning buds, particularly fellow trans buds, who show up with posts in the tone of 'its only matter of time.' like i just do not understand yet.

this reminds me of bisexual buckaroos who are told 'you just do not know you are gay yet'. as difficult as it is to step out of our own dang minds, i implore buckaroos to accept that there VERY JOYFUL AND FULFILLED NON-DYSPHORIC TRANS BUCKAROOS who do not need to transition and never will and are healthy and happy without that. just like there are bisexual buckaroos who are not just on their way to being gay

a good way to look at it is like this: I LOVE MY MALE BODY. i think i am a very handsome buckaroo. i have masculine features in my muscle and height and frame. as far as how fate could have placed me on this timeline I WON MY OWN PERSONAL FOOTRACE. i am up on the podium and i am standing here with a medal around my neck. GOOD JOB CHUCK

HOWEVER when i look down i see that medal is silver. i am not going to lie and say it is gold. it is silver.

YES my gold medal is a female body. that is an objective truth to my trot. i believe my gender way is that of a women, but there is no part of me that is upset about where i have placed.

I GOT SILVER. i am not upset. there is no tragedy. in fact i am OVERWHLEMED WITH JOY not just to be on the podium but to be in this race in the first place. HECK YEAH I DID IT AND I GOT A MEDAL

of course this is not to dismiss the difficult journey of others. many do not feel the way i do and their trot is VALID. a dysphoric way matters and is important and these voices are important. they should be elevated and supported. i understand some do not share this podium imagery, and they feel PAINED by trappings of their body.

i feel so much for this. i understand and care for my dysphoric buds, but the simple truth is that is not my story. i cant just lie and say that it is.

it will never be my story. i cannot say this enough: i love my body. however i STILL believe my truest way is that of a ladybuck. if it was a simple button push to change me, then i would push it without hesitation.

but it is not a simple button push.

talk to almost any buckaroo who has transitioned and they will say 'transitioning is hard'. it takes time and work and money and emotional support. i am in awe of the bravery of buckaroos who trot this path, but all of that is not worth it for something that i already feel good about. SCRATCH THAT, i feel GREAT ABOUT. i feel overwhelmed with joy every day over just existing in this male body that i have been blessed with. YES buckaroo, i feel joy existing in a male body that i know is ladybuck on the inside. it feels interesting a cool and exciting.

but my truest way is STILL a ladybuck trot

i guess i am just trying to say that i love second place. im happy to celebrate it. i think my male body is really dang cool. it is not a 'perfect me' but it is really dang awesome, and i never really bothered with trying to be perfect

when the subject of "why do people believe things that are seriously wrong and harmful" comes up it feels like you kinda hear one of two perspectives:

"oh, that's easy! it's because they're fundamentally Bad people who want to hurt others and choose their beliefs to justify that! :) hope this helps"

or

"they just don't have access to the same information we do. look at this person who was raised in a cult! don't you feel sorry for her?"

and like, yes, fine, some people were in fact raised in cults, but what i wish people would understand is that the bulk of it is just normal human flaws, like:

they want to believe stuff that makes them feel smart and cool and like they've figured everything out (you also do this)

they want to believe stuff that makes them feel like their emotions are justified and grounded in reality, and that the people they want to hurt deserve to be hurt (you also do this)

they form conclusions before they've processed all the relevant information, and cling to that first impression even when new info comes to light (you also do this)

they pick up beliefs from the people around them because they want to be liked and fit in, not because the beliefs are good or true (you also do this)

they come up with reasons that the stuff that benefits them (and the people they like and identify with) is actually overwhelmingly best for everyone and obviously the right thing to do (you also do this)

they pay more attention to stuff that supports what they already believe and avoid looking in places that might show them otherwise (you also do this)

they listen to people who talk like 'one of them' and ignore others (you also do this)

they come up with reasons to dismiss people with conflicting viewpoints as obviously in bad faith or ignorant or a shill or evil (you also do this)

they fail to take their own beliefs seriously sometimes, and take their beliefs way too seriously other times, in a selective way that lets them do the things they already wanted to do (you also do this)

the very ways they construct the ideas of 'knowledge' and 'wisdom' and 'belief' and 'understanding' are biased so that what they don't want to believe comes under lots of scrutiny and what they do want to believe receives less (you also do this)

you, dear reader, are presumably right about everything and were correct to die on every hill you've ever died on, but the difference between you and someone who's wrong about important stuff doesn't look like "well they're inherently evil and i'm not", it probably looks like a combination of:

natural environment (they would have been exposed to different information than you regardless of their choices)

being in the right place at the right time (your particular profile of flaws and virtues happened to be what was needed to lead you to the right conclusions, they had the opposite experience)

random luck (you doubled down on what felt right to believe but wasn't, but it turned out to be inconsequential, or even right for different reasons, while they doubled down on what turned out to be a horrible mistake distorting their entire worldview)

you do less of the things in the previous list, and over time the difference between you and them adds up

and, look, i also do these things. the nicest and most thoughtful people i've ever met do these things. if you meet someone who never does any of these things, i dunno, give them a fucking medal or something.

i know you're doing your best. we're all doing our best.
