I think it's Easy but also extremely lame to reduce Crowley's element of "temptation" down to "he's horny and he Awakens Lust Within Aziraphale." Like don't get me wrong, I love gay sex, but Any of the deadly sins can be gay sex if you try! Isn't it more interesting to represent Aziraphale's desire for Crowley through something like, idk, "gluttony" which is more in line with how Crowley repeatedly "tempts" him (ox ribs = gay sex, anyone?)? Look I'm gay I know how this stuff works, all-consuming 6000-year desire stops being just Lust at some point. Crowley made Aziraphale realize he's been starving his entire life and that's not gay sex enough? Just in general Crowley awakening "sin" in Aziraphale and Aziraphale awakening "virtue" in Crowley is sooooo sex to me. Girls we need to talk about this more

When I was a kid, maybe 14 or so (which is, you know, 20+ years ago), I belonged to a Yahoo! mailing list for an anime called Gundam Wing. It was mostly populated by other teens, of varying ages, as it was started by a teen and her friends. Eventually it migrated, when Yahoo! groups started as forums, and even branched off into non-GW related stuff in a second forum.
One of the things I remember the most clearly is the oldest person in the group. Her name was Steelsong. She was a 40-something Dom with a sub whose name we knew even though we knew nothing else. She ran her own fanfic archive because the web was still handmade HTML and navigated in webrings and I’m pretty sure Google didn’t exist or was only barely, barely launched and not well known. She was kind and patient and we loved her. She treated everyone on the group with the respect given any adult, even though most of the rest of the world was still treating us like we were children. Not teenagers even, but children. She never once condescended to any of us, never made our youth a barrier to her respect, never treated us like we were incapable of being full people or like we were less than her because we were young.
I remember that she hosted our fanfiction, as absolutely terrible as it was (and I still have some of it, I am WELL aware of how cringingly terrible it is, just absolute nonsense garbage), right there alongside of other fic that was soul-achingly beautiful. Not a separate section for her friends or for kids, just right there like we were good enough to feature alongside other authors. I never once received crit from her that I didn’t ask for, only support. Only love. I am still writing today partly because Steel was so kind about our fic, fanfic and original.
I remember that when I started doing clay sculpture, she commissioned a tiny pair of dragons from me, to support me doing artwork. She sent a check my mom cashed for me, and my mom helped me mail it when it was finished. It broke in transit, and Steel assured me that she mended it and that it was still beautiful. It was a small gold dragon curled up with a small silver dragon.
I remember that her patience knew no bounds. I remember that she was there for us, regardless of reason. When we wanted to know silly things like what to do with a single AA battery, she answered. When we had serious questions about sex, she answered.  When we had questions about writing, she taught us. When one of our group members, a young gay teen in Australia, ended up in the hospital and then stopped making posts, and we all knew what had happened, she let us talk to her about it because we couldn’t go to our own parents, even though we had just lost a friend.
She was not a replacement to my parents, but she was an extra parent, in some ways. A friend, certainly, but someone that had been through more life than we had and was willing to pass on knowledge if we asked for it. Someone older that we trusted with things that were too uncomfortable to go to our parents or teachers or whatever about, because we already knew she wasn’t going to judge us or something, and that we would get an honest answer.
I don’t know why I’m remembering this so hard tonight, and I’m not sure if there’s a point to sharing this, except that I know she’s gone now. She was ill the last time we spoke, and her site went down a long time ago, and I miss her. She was a huge influence on my life, then and now. She was hope, for me, that life as an adult didn’t have to be boring, it wouldn’t have to mean giving up the things I loved and Becoming Only Responsible With No Fun. Her presence meant I had hope I could still write and play with friends even when I wasn’t ‘a kid’ anymore. And she’s gone, and I miss her, and I wanted to share her from the perspective of youth, and the perspective over twenty years later has provided me.
And I think of her, when people go off about older folks being in fandom with younger folks. I’m an older folks now, or at least middle aged folks because there are certainly folks older than me still, but I wasn’t always. I’ve been here since i was a younger folks, and I know how much Steel’s presence and support meant to me, how much she helped not just me but everyone on that group. And I think of the people saying older folks don’t belong in fandom, and that they shouldn’t interact with younger folks at all, and I just think... I can’t agree. I needed that kind of solid presence in my life back then and even at the age I am now, I need the folks older than me to stay. I want them here.
So I guess, like, if you’re here and you’re 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 or whatever, I want you here in fandom with me, still. Your presence here is a comfort. It is hope. It is a reminder that life will continue to be fun, even as I get older, myself. And if you’re younger and you have this sort of elder in your groups, I hope that they are like Steel. I hope they are kind and patient and supportive, and that knowing them gives you hope for your own future. I hope in twenty years you look back and remember them fondly.

hai here is a sketch dump with too many fandoms :) sorry about the ungodly amount of men here i have been going through it and by it i mean gay
ok wait i ran out of tags??? it wont let me tag them all😭😭😭 im gonna have to be sparing with them uhh i guess i will have to ramble under the cut then cus i like rambling in my tags but i cant with this one 😭
(ok im back from the ramble: it is way too long.... proceed forward if you want to see some guy just absolutely talk nonsense for entirely too long)
no cus i swear i have tried tagging more stuff than this before and never hit the limit but whatever
hello i really use this like a fkn blog huh
i just wanted to provide some thoughts on the harper and rosé one first bc its important to me 😌 cus i was thinking abt harper and how in my head and heart of hearts she would be the kid who thought you get pregnant from kissing and i dont think she ever really grew out of that belief. <- this ended up spawning the idea of harper being a sex-repulsed ace and i will die on this hill actually. fight me or die, you die either way actually nvm
this is just a buncha blorbos i dont know what to tell you really. sketch pages like these always end up so weird for me bc for some reason my brain always wants the characters in them to interact in some way. whether that be talking or just reacting to what the other is doing... its something i cant stop with, its so stupid and silly and i hate it and i love it. where else would i see kabru slowly losing his mind with how loud phoenix wright is in court????
I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN OFF THE RAILS WITH THAT BUT THEN THE NEXT PAGE HAPPENED. and all i could do was laugh and ask "what the fuck am i drawing??? HOW DID WE GET HERE? WHY IS THISTLE HERE WITH LEOPIKA HELP" LIKE that page started with the big leopika and then i was like "man i miss thistle lemme draw him real quick" but the curse struck and now hes being homophobic so </3
i rlly like how the nic(k) page turned out ... i just have a lot of nicks i like drawing idk.. the lil guy is an oc,,, one day his ref sheet will be finished and itll be awesome but not for now, sorry baby, no can do. im weirdly happy with how the hands turned out for all of them tho?? so thats a W
yotasuke, murai, nick (youll never know which one im referring to. .. jkjk its hoult i love the pose there ehehhe), nic and the entire last page r my favs. i like em all but those rlly get me yknow- the olly too ofc but ive already posted him, dont mind him being here, hes part of the set. AND OVER ALL IVE BEEN HAVING SO FUN WITH SHADING BLACK AND JUST LEAVING SPOTS BLANK ITS SO ?`????
WHY IS THIS SO LONG PLS DONT READ ALL THIS THIS IS STRAIGHT UP EMBARRASSING AGHSDFGSDHJSGD im all like "yeah i dont like talking about myself or whatever" but as soon as i get to my process or blorbos or smth the floodgates fucking break open, not even burst man.
also dont mind how i havent even acknowledged pingas twink pokemon counterpart. hes just here for shits and giggles i dont know the guy like at all, i watched a handful of eps of horizons and that was it RIP

JJK Recs
Got a comment on this and figured I'd turn it into a post. Here are some of my favorite Gojo-centric JJK recs that basically live rent-free in my head and also very much so helped me form my own characterization for Gojo. Most of these are GoYuu bc I'm a shameless fan.
I keep the warmest truth - dehawny: Gojo/Yuuji | just adore this ace!Gojo headcanon. lowkey so torn on Gojo's sexuality bc I absolutely can see him being asexual and maybe even a bit touch-averse with the whole Infinity thing, but I also can see him being a total slut lol. This is one of my favorites and the only ace!Gojo I've found I think? The tags are just perfect and very much so aligned with my own personal Gojo heacanon 😂 "Gojou is confident about everything and that includes his sexuality", "he's also good at everything except maybe communicating"
A Duty and Responsibility - googlehome: Gojo/Sukuna this fic definitely pushed my 'bottom Gojo agenda' idk I can see this man with any sexuality I swear. Another great characterization of Gojo, and also Sukuna. I adore very serious fics with a splash of humor in the narrative. I can't imagine Gojo as a person who takes himself entirely seriously, no matter how much responsibility he accepts, or how many burdens he carries for others, or what kind of nonsense gay crisis he ends up in, so I just love his voice in this.
Countdown - Rizna: Gojo/Yuuji a fandom classic as far as I'm concerned. This is such an excellent role reversal AU - if you're into S2 teenage brat Gojo, this delivers. I love all versions of Gojo, including mouthy teenage twink Gojo deeply obsessed with his adult sensei who's Trying His Best™ to be the adult in the relationship.
Enough (A Cinderalla Story) - athena_crikey: Gojo/Yuuji in an absolutely fucking hilarious twist of irony, I actually didn't read this story for a long time because it was a rockstar AU and when I first got into this fandom I was desperate for canon stuff. Meanwhile I then go on to bust out 400k+ words of my own rockstar!Gojo AU, so I guess I'm just a fucking clown.
Heart Laid Bare - athena_crikey: Gojo/Namami incredible introspection on how Gojo handles (or rather, doesn't handle) the burden of being invincible and the strongest told in Nanami's POV. I could wax poetic about this fic and the way Gojo comes across so multi-faceted as both a man who can do everything and also a man who can't even remember to adequately feed himself. I drew a lot of the inspiration for Gojo's cursed technique in my fic from this, how Infinity is both his blessing and his curse and the parallels to his overuse of RCT being a kind of toxic spiral.
Shared Infinity - athena_crikey: Gojo & Yuuji - read the tags on this one it deals with some heavy stuff (not with Gojo) I love the way this fic showcases Gojo as a mature adult deeply protective over his students while still maintaining his kind of flippant/uncaring outer persona we see in the show. Just completely love fics that really naile the dichotomy of Gojo being both caring and yet rather unkind.
Take Two - athena_crikey: Gojo/Yuuji - specifically love how this AU fic deals with the idea of Gojo's own fame being his shield between himself in the world around him where his Infinity technique doesn't exist. I love how Gojo is handled in this one, so jagged around the edges, and just his own worst enemy when it comes to his own feelings. Also love me a Gojo who can own up to his own mistakes, look at our baby go, showing emotional maturity and everything!!
Still, More Firsts - hngr4fngr: Gojo/Yuuji man do I adore this whole series. Great porn with ridiculously excellent plot/characterizations lol like I came here for the bottom!Gojo and left with way too many feelings about how Gojo deals with his trauma and how that would effect his sex life. Also has a super interesting take on how Infinity works!
little lamb to the slaughter - voxofthevoid: Gojo/Yuuji still obsessed with the astoundingly incredible smut, just absolutely shook by how god-tier this writing is, it is so hard to write good smut, just pacing, flow, word choice... this could be a masterclass on how to write really great smut that can actually pull a visceral reaction out of a reader. I think a great deal of that ability comes from a mastery of the tone of voice of the characters, too. Gojo is just incredible in this Yuuji POV, the way he describes Gojo is just utter perfection. On a related note, in general Yuuji's voice is so fucking funny in a way that doesn't detract at all from the mood of the story. In fact I think this would be too heavy without his hilarious occasional inputs.
there is no try (but it's still going to take a while) - juurensha: Gojo/Geto I love me a star wars AU jfc. I'm not even a fan of SatoSugu but this is just *chefs kiss* Jedi Master Gojo is such a mood.
anchor - valleykey: Gojo/Geto I love this one mainly for the Suguru characterization, which I truly never thought I'd say bc I'm just not normally a fan of his character/relationship with Gojo. He's just perfect in this fic though - it just makes so much more sense for his characterization, and idk, pulls it altogether in a way I think it falls flat in canon. That isn't to say Gojo's not great in this, he's just really not the main character at all. But it deals well with Gojo's loyalty to those he deems worthy of it (even if the recipient isn't considered 'proper' by jujutsu society) and just offers a good take on supportive (and smitten) Gojo

someone needs to investigate the link between hentai and furry because from the furry art i sometimes see on this website, most seem to have pornbrain. they almost always have the same anime like drawing style, im always embarrassed they call themselves artists when there is nothing creative about that drawing style. im sure there are some furries who treat it like cosplay more than a sex thing but it very much is a sex thing. if you type in furry in tumblr search bar you will see kink shit within the first few posts, and of course enlarged breasts. furries do have a zoophilia and zoosadism problem in their community too, unsurprisingly. how many kids first introduction to kink is through furry stuff online? you take these characters appealing to kids, often even from kids shows, and sexualise them in the wildest ways possible. my first exposure to vore was through furry fetish „art“ on this website when i was a minor still.
none of this has anything to do with being same sex attracted. and i think most trans people would also be offended to be compared to people who have a fetish for (cartoon) animals. and „dressing weird“ and „looking different“ are not inherently lgb characterisitics.
this is why i hate the term „queer“. to me its not a slur because im german and we have no equivalent (to my knowledge), the literal english term was introduced here as an umbrella term - we even have a „queer beauftrage“ („queer deputy“) in the national government. „queer“ is always associated with lgb and now trans people (who are already two different groups with divergent interests and the only reason we‘re historically tied is because transvestites used to be homosexual). now all sorts of kinksters and „sexual minorities“ attach themselves to this. we already have an issue with how bold both bdsm and pedophilia groups are in germany. they love that „queer“ is associated with gays and lesbians and their valid advocacy for same rights, same sex marriage, and so on, which gives legitimacy to the tqa++* since gay and lesbian acceptance has increased since the 2010s (and now back to decreasing because of gender nonsense and worse, these other groups), while at the same time not meaning same sex attracted which allows anyone considering themselves a „sexual minority“ - such as furries - to call themselves „queer“, leeching of the legitimacy of the gay rights movement while at the same time undoing progress of the movement by branding same sex attracted people „queer“, weird, different, basically the same as having a fetish. fuck off!

Okay since we're on the topic of what is and is not kink and who kink is and is not for, can you provide any insight into the "kink at pride" discourse?
I've always been in the camp of "you can't disallow kink at pride because the line between kink and not-kink isn't clear cut, and malicious actors would use such a rule to harm certain people (usually GNC and trans ppl)" coexisting with "if you do something with the active intention to cause distress or harm then that is obviously bad but only you know your intentions". So a pretty neutral opinion that adds up to literally nothing changing lol.
But do you actually understand what was going on with this discourse? I don't get it. So much of it seems based on subjective judgements and unknowable intentions and broad assumptions.
--
What was going on with that discourse is simple in a lot of cases:
Fuckfaces took photos from the Folsom Street Fair, a historically significant kink event in my native Bay Area, and lied about what they were.
Fragile snowflakes on the internet cried about how they would now not be able to go to a pride parade because they'd have to see The Bad Sex People there. Pride is for babies in strollers, think of the children, waaaaah!
In reality, the images of people basically having BDSM sex in public are from events where you have to be an adult to even enter. If they appear to be out of doors on a public street, it's in a context where street access was being controlled.
There is no issue.
The Evil Public Sex People are a strawman that does not exist.
The actual thing that happens at queer-focused as opposed to kink-focused events is scantily-clad people engaging in PDA and over-the-top drag queens and that sort of thing. Pearl clutchers hate all of that. A few crybabies claim that it's somehow oppressing sex-repulsed asexuals. Most asexuals do not post this nonsense though. Pride is for the celebration of visible queerness, and obviously, some kinds of queer PDA are going to result.
Sometimes, a picture of some rando in a dog collar will get brought up to add fuel to the anti-kink side of things, but I really don't think arguments over fashion are at the heart of this: blatant lies about public sex in front of kids are.
--
There's a larger and long-term debate about how sanitized Pride parades have gotten as they've gotten more corporate sponsorship and as the focus of queer activism in the US has shifted from basic survival to marriage equality. In the 80s, the idea of people routinely taking little kids to Pride would have seemed a lot weirder than it does now.
How mainstream should we go and how much corporate sponsorship should we accept? Should we cater more to boring marrieds with kids or more to the radical and weird? How do we make queer spaces where we teach the Youth without insisting that all adult life be hamstrung and made teen-appropriate?
There's a great tumblr post around somewhere about the poster's experience thinking they knew about queer media because they were in Johnlock fandom and then being exposed to queer cinema and finding it a deeply uncomfortable experience because of the in-your-face sexuality, the dark themes, etc. Ultimately, they learned to love that kind of queer media and not just fandom m/m.
I think some of the more fandomy wings of the kink at pride discourse are largely culture shock. People come from what is essentially BL fandom, but they don't know that. They think of themselves as the dominant form of queer culture. And then they run into stuff that's seen as having more queer cred and not only do they not like it because it's a different aesthetic, but they feel offended at the implication that this and not BL is The Real Queer Art.
(And while I roll my eyes at The Youth crying about too-sexual art films or whatever, I do also think there's often a lot of gatekeeping about cis gay dude movies being Real Queer Art and BL being For The Straights.)

Totally different vibe but I'm gay and thinking so much about him. This post might get nsfw, folks.
I'm smitten. Sure we have our problems, I mean, of course we do, he's dating ME- But FUCK, man. It's like how I felt with Alex except Victor is a good person who actually loves me. He's way stronger than me, which makes me SHAKE bro. He could hurt me if he wanted to, but he's so nice. He calls me things that have me on my fucking knees.
Like. Hooooly shit I can't wait til I get a chance to meet him in person bc when I say I'm gonna do whatever he wants... I MEAN WHATEVER. Like. I will be incapable of saying no. I will be pathetic.
Imagine if we meet in a bar and I get super drunk and kiss him dude that- HGJDHDBFHFHD.
I want him. I want him ON ME. I legit- like. I'm acespec, sex repulses me, the thought of being touched is so scary, but like I'd let him be all over me if he actually wanted me. I'd let him do ANYTHING.
I am so fucking attracted to this guy, and we have so much in common that some days we do nothing but play video games for literally the whole day together... We play almost every night and he puts up with my drunk nonsense, he doesn't complain <333
I wish I could tell him about the shit I'm into bc the only way this could get better is if I get proper dominated man I'm- I'm weak, I'm small, I like hiding behind people and letting them make all the decisions. I'm a dog for this man. I'm property.
FUCK I am drunk rn and if any of my friends find this I'm going to be humiliated beyond belief, they don't-
Nobody knows how much I want this man to fuck me and it weighs heavy, like, I don't even think he knows how I'd kill for him to both absolutely wreck me AND baby me.
Bc on one hand. I'm a little baby. I'm pure. I'm innocent. Treat me like a little goober and hold me and. IDK FUCK MAYBE I JUST HAVE DADDY ISSUES BC I THINK IM ASKING FOR A DILF-
... but on the other hand, I'm a bad person, I'm the worst, I'm whatever villain you need me to be just PLEASE put me in my fucking place I *WANT* you to punish me I'm like literally asking for it, I'm doing shit that gets on ur nerves bc I wanna be RAILED man I WOULD BE SO MUCH LESS ANNOYING IF YOUD JUST SLAM ME AGAINST THE WALL AND BREAK ME WHEN IM A LITTLE BITCH
HhHh.
I still can't believe I'm saying all this shit
I'm beyond wasted. Like. Intoxicated moreso than usual. Typing this so far has taken an HOUR and I got sad halfway through out of humiliation and went to write that first post. But even through all the drinking, all I can really think about is being pinned to his bed 👉👈,,,
,,, it's not just sex either bc I want kisses. Neck kisses. Like. Damn. I want him to hold me from behind. I want to cling to him. Hide my face against him. If he touched my face I would do the fucking meme thing and refuse to let go of his hand. I want to snuggle against him and just. Disappear for a while.
.... I want to cry myself to sleep in *his arms* instead of on my own. I hug my pillows and try desperately to pretend they're him. I see him when I fall asleep, when I'm alone, when I'm sad... when I'm fucking suicidal the thing that stops me is that then I'd have to wait who KNOWS how long for him to live out his own life, and that I might have to watch him fall in love with someone else (the worst thing ever)
If. If I ever lost him idk what I'd do because fuck dude. He's everything. Victor is my world. I want to meet him.
.... I also want him to control every aspect of my life and tell me what to do bc without guidance I drown. Ppl might think it'd be toxic, but I think I need that in my life. I hate making decisions. I want to sit quietly and let him think, bc I'm bad at thinking, and thinking overwhelms me. I want him to hide me behind him and be the one to handle the world so that I can just be *his.*
UGH. THIS IS THE HORNIEST, SAPPIEST FUCKING POST IVE EVER MADE EVER.

Morituri Te Salutamus Review
“Morituri Te Salutamus” is one of two episode titles with non-English speaking words in it, and the only episode title with no English words in it. The Latin terminology translates to “We who are about to die, salute you”. Adventure Time season 3 episode 2: We Who Are About to Die, Salute You. That’d be quite the mouthful. The Latin translation fits the Roman theming in this one much better. There’s lots of bits of Latin throughout the episode, such as “eludere” (evasion) and “non pugnant, Flamma” (be not repugnant to him). I like when Adventure Time incorporates different cultures, such as Korean, to expand the world. I don’t think any episode commits to playing with a particular culture as much as this one.
Finn and Jake enter a Roman colosseum. It's up for debate if the arena is a few hundred years old and was merely inspired by ancient Rome, or if this is literally remnants of a colosseum from 3,000ish years ago. The gladiator ghosts are gay, and there is evidence suggesting homosexuality was more socially accepted in ancient Rome. Their names are even taken from Roman warriors from history and fiction. The magical element to the arena was definitely added post-Mushroom War, and the implication at the end is the ghosts had a similar story to Finn and Jake, meaning they weren’t humans from Rome (plus one of them has two heads).
I like how Finn and Jake are smart enough to immediately realize the place is a trap, but are confident enough to still take it on. They’ve clearly earned that confidence (with a strong helping of plot armor) as they succeed where all the gladiator ghosts failed. I like the Fight King, he has a cool design that adds to the episode’s atmosphere. He’s missing an arm, of course his right one. We can piece together the backstory of this place, but Fight King’s role and purpose remains pretty mysterious. It’s the second episode in a row with a king character, and it’s pretty consistent that rulers in Ooo are titled princess or king, rather than prince.
Finn and Jake fight the first pair of gladiator ghosts. The fights throughout this one are pretty fun and dynamic. Finn is strangely not using the Root Sword, but the Steel Sword for the first time. It’s a cool design, even with it weirdly resembling the Night Sword. I love the easy to miss detail that the injuries on each ghost matches the weapon used by the other. One of them refers to the other as their love. The crew were able to sneak in same-sex romance under Cartoon Network’s radar (confirmed canon by Andy Ristanio) and I don’t think it's a coincidence that Rebecca Sugar co-boarded this episode. Along with the Roman theming, my favorite part of the episode is all the hints given to the gladiators’ backstory (like them constantly apologizing to each other and begging for forgiveness). There’s enough pieces to figure out the history, the episode doesn’t need to make it explicit.
Finn and Jake have been quibbling over Jake’s non commitment to following through with Finn’s plans. Jake just wants to have fun, he doesn’t take the adventures as seriously as Finn. Jake lets Finn do all the work, so he can stay underground singing songs and execute his nonsensical plan of forming a molten hula hoop for morale. I like how passive their conflict is, they never actually get mad at each other, even with Finn’s deceit later on. Jake sings “On a Tropical Island”, another highlight of the episode. It’s hard to truly enjoy the song in the episode itself, as it's broken into four different scenes. But, it's great listening to the entire thing outside the context of the episode. It still stands as the best Jake song of the series. This is the song that people should be asking John DiMaggio to sing at every panel, not “Bacon Pancakes” every fucking time.
Finn is seemingly mind controlled by Fight King. Fight King has Finn fight Jake to the death, like he forced onto the gladiator couples. Add Finn stabbing the dummy Jake and trying to kill the real Jake onto the pile of Jake death foreshadowing. Jake’s confused reaction to his brother trying to kill him, in contrast to how easy going Finn was in his conflict with Jake, is heartbreaking. Finn tricks Fight King into giving him his sword, which seems to contain his soul. The sword’s rune reads “to fight is to live”, and apparently Fight King literally can’t live without it. Finn smashes it, killing Fight King and his power over the arena. Finn was faking being mind controlled. We saw Fight King’s sword magically alter Finn, so he must have just had the willpower to resist it. We’ll see another type of magic overcome Finn for real and cause him to act in a similar manner in Elements. The Gladiator Ghosts are a really tragic element of the story, so it’s nice to see them freed at the end, presumably going to a dead world. Missed opportunity to not have them cameo in “Together Again”. 
This one’s story isn’t anything special, but the Roman theming, backstory, and song elevates it up from just a solid entry to a really good one.
Grade: A-

Tumblr is not a popularity contest.
Followers and notes DO NOT matter!
Just post what you love and reblog fun stuff too!
It’s not that serious.
If you do get followers, take a couple seconds to verify they’re not one of those sex bots.
No one knows why they are even here, but if you just ignore them, their other sex bot friends will swarm you and you’ll have no real people appreciating your nonsense.
If someone is rude or crazy, just block them. This is a place for your joy.
Unless your joy is being crazy and rude, then rage into the universe and maybe you’ll find other crazy, rude people that would love to fight you.
Here at tumblr, anything goes!
You can be straight, gay, trans, non-binary and everything else there is! I am not leaving anyone out on purpose, I just don’t know them all, but you can be that here!
You can be any race, from any country, speaking any language. Language can be a speed bump, but we all love pics and can appreciate funny videos of animals doing something. They don’t speak your language either!
You can be an Olympic athlete, plus size queen, role player, fan fiction writer, student, chef, fire fighter, car hop, financial business analyst, train conductor, environmentalist, porn star, vegan, cyclist, soldier or any other thing in life and you’ll find your people here.
So don’t hold back! Be yourself and you’ll find others that appreciate you. Also, share those that you appreciate. A like is nice but if you think something is great, reblog it and spread the love. There’s no better compliment than when someone shares your little posts.

I hope that once everyone's done laughing at the important blue checkmarks (no rush, it's fucking hilarious), Tumblr considers other icons we can put by our names. Like little hats or something we can send to friends for a day for a dollar. Little animal companions. Good job stickers.

A snake in Thailand spent enough time sitting still in the water to grow moss and turn into a dragon, apparently.

Oh god, I just aged several years in a single second, a friend of mine sent me a snippet from a fic that read someone put a VHS into a VCR and took so long getting back to it to press play that the menu screen had looped multiple times

When I was a kid, maybe 14 or so (which is, you know, 20+ years ago), I belonged to a Yahoo! mailing list for an anime called Gundam Wing. It was mostly populated by other teens, of varying ages, as it was started by a teen and her friends. Eventually it migrated, when Yahoo! groups started as forums, and even branched off into non-GW related stuff in a second forum.
One of the things I remember the most clearly is the oldest person in the group. Her name was Steelsong. She was a 40-something Dom with a sub whose name we knew even though we knew nothing else. She ran her own fanfic archive because the web was still handmade HTML and navigated in webrings and I’m pretty sure Google didn’t exist or was only barely, barely launched and not well known. She was kind and patient and we loved her. She treated everyone on the group with the respect given any adult, even though most of the rest of the world was still treating us like we were children. Not teenagers even, but children. She never once condescended to any of us, never made our youth a barrier to her respect, never treated us like we were incapable of being full people or like we were less than her because we were young.
I remember that she hosted our fanfiction, as absolutely terrible as it was (and I still have some of it, I am WELL aware of how cringingly terrible it is, just absolute nonsense garbage), right there alongside of other fic that was soul-achingly beautiful. Not a separate section for her friends or for kids, just right there like we were good enough to feature alongside other authors. I never once received crit from her that I didn’t ask for, only support. Only love. I am still writing today partly because Steel was so kind about our fic, fanfic and original.
I remember that when I started doing clay sculpture, she commissioned a tiny pair of dragons from me, to support me doing artwork. She sent a check my mom cashed for me, and my mom helped me mail it when it was finished. It broke in transit, and Steel assured me that she mended it and that it was still beautiful. It was a small gold dragon curled up with a small silver dragon.
I remember that her patience knew no bounds. I remember that she was there for us, regardless of reason. When we wanted to know silly things like what to do with a single AA battery, she answered. When we had serious questions about sex, she answered.  When we had questions about writing, she taught us. When one of our group members, a young gay teen in Australia, ended up in the hospital and then stopped making posts, and we all knew what had happened, she let us talk to her about it because we couldn’t go to our own parents, even though we had just lost a friend.
She was not a replacement to my parents, but she was an extra parent, in some ways. A friend, certainly, but someone that had been through more life than we had and was willing to pass on knowledge if we asked for it. Someone older that we trusted with things that were too uncomfortable to go to our parents or teachers or whatever about, because we already knew she wasn’t going to judge us or something, and that we would get an honest answer.
I don’t know why I’m remembering this so hard tonight, and I’m not sure if there’s a point to sharing this, except that I know she’s gone now. She was ill the last time we spoke, and her site went down a long time ago, and I miss her. She was a huge influence on my life, then and now. She was hope, for me, that life as an adult didn’t have to be boring, it wouldn’t have to mean giving up the things I loved and Becoming Only Responsible With No Fun. Her presence meant I had hope I could still write and play with friends even when I wasn’t ‘a kid’ anymore. And she’s gone, and I miss her, and I wanted to share her from the perspective of youth, and the perspective over twenty years later has provided me.
And I think of her, when people go off about older folks being in fandom with younger folks. I’m an older folks now, or at least middle aged folks because there are certainly folks older than me still, but I wasn’t always. I’ve been here since i was a younger folks, and I know how much Steel’s presence and support meant to me, how much she helped not just me but everyone on that group. And I think of the people saying older folks don’t belong in fandom, and that they shouldn’t interact with younger folks at all, and I just think... I can’t agree. I needed that kind of solid presence in my life back then and even at the age I am now, I need the folks older than me to stay. I want them here.
So I guess, like, if you’re here and you’re 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 or whatever, I want you here in fandom with me, still. Your presence here is a comfort. It is hope. It is a reminder that life will continue to be fun, even as I get older, myself. And if you’re younger and you have this sort of elder in your groups, I hope that they are like Steel. I hope they are kind and patient and supportive, and that knowing them gives you hope for your own future. I hope in twenty years you look back and remember them fondly.

My #1 post of 2022
If you're ever worried about whether your writing is too self indulgent, I just want you to remember that Sharknado had 5 sequels. I'm only partway through watching Sharknado 6: It's About Time, but already they've traveled through time and ridden a pteronadon into a Sharknado so they could use the magic teleportation portal inside of it to travel forward in time to King Arthur's time, where they are currently battling a Sharknado full of fire-breathing dragon sharks with Excalibur, which is a chainsaw sword that calls lightning. You're fine. In fact, be a little more self indulgent if anything, because I am having a BLAST watching this specifically because I can see how much fun the writers were having.

shipping nonsense when it comes to ship wars involving het ships vs same sex ships
I am going to be honest ship wars  happen in all fandoms its normal whats irritating is when hte ship war happens to involve a same sex ship vs het ship some people who ship the same sex ship will claim that you would ship my ship if it was a het ship. Which is rather baseless do you have any idea how many ship wars there are people choose to ship something that appeals to them etc.
It also makes a joke of real homophobia  by using it for shipping saying you are a homophobe if you dont ship my ship or if you criticize a canon same sex ship or say its forced.
sorry but not shippinga specific same sex ship and shipping a het ship over it isnt homophobia.
saying it has no buildup isnt homophobia
They would say we shouldnt criticize the same sex ship or accept it just because there arent many canon same sex ships its ridiculous since I bet that if the het ship had became canon they would still criticize the het ship. It doesnt matter that there arent that many same sex ships ships should be judged my the merit  not by genders involved
I feel that these people often project when they claim that if say for example yang was a man you would support the ship considering they seem to outright disdain sun for being a man and have outright state the genders involved as a reason to ship it  or as a reason to claim blacksun was forced for example
I feel there are many people on tumblr who fetishize same sex ships in either the otaku form or the I will frame it as activism shippers.
the fact that there arent that many same sex ships, doesnt mean that the same sex ship if it does become canon deserved to be canon. for good writing is more important
the you would have shipped it if it was a m/f ship has always been absurd and the  intent is to attack someone . you could easily flip it on them
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is back from 2015
 they were just complaining about the ships they wanted werent teased. they were the ones claiming a ship was forced because of the genders involved. calling blacksun forced just because it was a het ship being teased. when it wasnt in anyway forced. the same sex ship that they wanted didnt get anything that actually hinted at it while a het ship did.
and it isnt the only post or comment like this which showcases any accusation of homophobia or if y/ng was a man you would ship it is projection
for they based not liking blacksun based on sun being a man
here is a comment  I saw in response to the above post
“I think this is all the explanation needed(and all you need to dismiss people trying to take moral superiority over liking b/////bee). Something the toxic side of the fandom loves to do is project and project hard. They cannot understand why someone would not think like them or like the things they do unless there’s something wrong with them or they contextualize it through what they themselves would do.And that’s one of them accidentally explaining how that relates to b/////bee: wasps like it because it’s a gay ship. They thought Black Sun was forced because it was not a gay ship. Therefore, since everyone must either think like them or be defective, clearly you think b/////bee is forced because it’s not a straight ship. You don’t like it because it’s gay.“ “
now that after giving blacksun 5 volumes of buildup while the other ship got nothing and the writers suddenly changing direction they claim that calling it forced is homophobia or just based on genders involved which comes off as projection. and its not like what anon did anon called blacksun forced because it was a het ship being teased the ship they wanted didnt get anything In contrast they threw out years of buildup in order to make that other ship happen
@hardfestivaldream
it has been twice where I have seen a forced same sex ship become canon when it didnt have the buildup required
one was thrown in at the last 2 minutes of the finale
the other after giving one ship 5 seasons of teasing mutual attraction development and buildup while the other ship got nothing that hinted at romance all their moments were platonic
I find their attempts to claim its we should stop complaining about it because there are tons of het ships to be idiotic and projection
 we didnt ship it because of the genders involved we liked their interactions, and
I bet if they hadnt thrown away all that buildup and went through with it they wouldnt stop complaining about it. they dont get to claim its different. the notion that it should be accepted just because of the genders involved when it reeked of direction change is idiotic
we liked the ship due to their interactions
even if you do believe that the same sex ship had build up rather then claim homophobia why dont you handle it or view it like you would if it was a het ship vs het ship.
because from my experience it comes off as just an easy way to attack someone or projection given that there are people who fetishize that type of stuff or think of it as activisim

Hello! could we get some Fennorian HCs?
Oh, gods, my first request!!
I'm so happy, thanks for asking, I hope it'll be to your liking :)
disclaimer : english isn't my first language, and it's actually my very first time writing my own headcanons !!
Tumblr media
(gif isn't mine, credits to the-suthay-raht)
TWs : mentions of blood and torture, obviously. (not in details tho), possible spoilers.
I don't have much headcanons for him actually, most of it are my impressions based on ingame interactions (keep in mind I actually only have one of the DLCs in which we see him), but there's some things straight from my imagination!
• So, we know my boy Fen is an Altmer. He's also a vampire, obviously, and due to his dedication to only drink from willing people and all, I feel like he wouldn't be the kind of guy to think Altmers are "superior" to other races, because the way he is, he's respectful you know! He view this ideology as nonsense and a waste of time.
• Okay so it's purely a wholesome thing in my head, I like to imagine Fen met Alchemy (the transgender altmer woman in Summerset) and complimented her on her name choice, that's it.
• Speaking of transgender people, I feel like he would be supportive of all LGBTQIA+ identities, even the ones he doesn't understand. You're gay? Bi? Lesbian? Good for you, he hopes you find someone you deserve! Polya? Nice, you found a way to get even more love while being respectful of all your partners!! Ace and/or aro ? Totally fine, love and sex aren't a requisite to be happy in life! Anything else? Wonderful, you've managed to put word on your feelings! Non labeled? Well, you don't need labels after all, it's only a personal choice, so keep going champion!
• Maybe he is some flavour of non-binary too, but he just doesn't really care that much so he didn't put a label on it.
• I'm pretty sure any place he stays longer than a few days smells like plants.
• He sometimes like to think about what would be life for him if he was a regular Altmer, not a vampire. Would he have a specific job? Dreams? A totally normal family? I mean, he loves his family, don't get me wrong, even though it's not always easy and sometimes things don't turn out well, but he just likes to imagine the possibilities.
• He likes Morrowind because of all the mushrooms in here. It's a nice change of scenery, compared to the cold and grey landscapes in Skyrim.
• He can get a bit self conscious of the way he looks when he's thirsty, because he knows it can be scary to regular people. If you're his friend, reassure him that it's okay and that you trust him, and of course find a way to get him his blood flask, he might be nice but his nature can get over his morals if he doesn't drink for too long.
• He was traumatized after that torture thing. You can't convince me otherwise. The way he walks after it, hugging himself, yeah that's trauma for me. He's still scared of being in a similar situation even years after, he might even have nightmares of this moment.
• I just put the gif in the post and just realized the way he stands. This guy has chronic back pains, that's it.

How long do you think this trans nonsense is going to last? Do you think people, especially women, will eventually realise how sexist, homophobic and racist trans ideology is? Or do you think society is just going to keep regressing? I had a discussion - not even an argument - with a girl recently about it all, she has a brother that calls himself a woman, and she cried when I said that I thought we should be abolishing gender stereotypes. I thought I was pretty moderate, I said that I think people should be able to dress and act however they like, but it just doesn't mean that men can claim and appropriate womanhood. She cried and called me a transphobe, and then stormed out when I said that it's inherently misogynistic. Most of my friends, both men and women, agree with me, but said that I shouldn't have brought it up. Which I think is just shit - so women are just meant to lie back and accept the erosion of our rights? This issue is occupying so much real estate in my mind, I'm constantly thinking about how absurd it is and I'm constantly angry. How long do you think I'm gonna have to be angry for?
I can’t say for certain how much longer it will be, but I can recall what ten years ago was like, so maybe things will have changed that drastically in another ten.
2012 Tumblr was peak what’s good about liberal feminism. It’s not all garbage it is still feminism after all. Consent was a huge conversation, used to see posts about male rape culture in the tens of thousands of notes, it was cool and on trend to call out “I’m not like other girls I don’t need feminism,” sexism in the workplace was being addressed. My in progress tag #notes is in part meant to capture what female solidarity used to look like on the site
because it’s taken a massive fucking nose dive and I’m trying to figure out where we went wrong. Going through archives of radblr blogs around 2015-16 is when I start noticing more of the trans/TERF conversion happening, although it always was just on a much smaller scale using different words. “Lesbians who don’t like dick” and sex industry critical women have always been attacked for one reason or another iirc they just used to call us “radscum” and other nondescript shit before landing on these handy -ERF acronyms
The thing is 2012 Tumblr was also peak Superwholock Fujoshi time and “supporting the gays” (voyeuristically living vicariously through them) was more on trend than liberal feminism. The two were seemingly in unison at the time but were going to be at odds inevitably. Mostly straight and male-pref bi women (with a sprinkle of closeted lesbians) coping with IRL men’s increasingly sadistic view of women by fantasizing about safe love between fictional men on an obsessive level. Fandoms and thus show creators going out of their way to avoid F/F slash and instead feeding the monster that is M/M until Tumblrinas felt like just “supporting” them wasn’t enough and they had to skinwalk lol and shame one type of SSA while worshipping another
Iirc by 2016 gay marriage in the US (where most of these people live) had been “won” and queer MOGAI was the shiniest newest trend thanks to a number of influences (Caitlyn Jenner and LaVerne Cox come to mind but it was definitely more than just them). Liberal feminism is capitalistic at the end of the day and the powers that be saw “queering gender” for the cash cow it’s ended up being and the powers were probably terrified that in the early 2010s under popular lib feminism hundreds of thousands of girls and women were openly in agreement online that male violence was the problem. Now it’s “gendered violence” and you can never tell who’s a male and no one can call a spade in a dress a spade
It’s inconceivable to me to cry about the idea of gender abolition like your friend did anon…..makes me like sad how convicted so many women are about this. But I’m also not surprised and don’t blame them all because anti feminist males will stop at nothing. The TERF wars are so fundamentally ridiculous like the topic is a distraction about something that’s not even real yet they’ve made it seem so real and threatening by using their male privilege to instill fear and angry infighting.
I would advise you to not let this shit take up too much real estate in your mind. As someone who sort of watched it all start or at least get this bad I try to remember when I wasn’t censoring my language this much and when misandry was a fun meme on here. Also try to keep in mind how many times the queer theorists change their mind on what language is appropriate for who and when. I will never forget how quickly writing trans* with an asterisk or transwoman with no space became crimes when before you’d get lynched for not doing it. Imo things that change that often have no foundation or could change into something unrecognizable someday. Hopefully whatever follows gender is better than this shit. Hang in there 🖤

I think you may have tagged westcoastgal regarding Jimin’s Hickey when you meant to tag me? I only mention this incase the other person receives hate/trash from people as she would have no idea why. I’m quite prepared to handle that nonsense however, lol.
I am absolutely certain that's exactly what I did and to both of you @westcoastgal and @westcoastgal1, I apologize.
Y'all, I SUCK at this on most days. I have no idea why 1200 of you are reading this, it's probably a really good thing there aren't like 12,000 or something. But I am very willing to make my mistakes in public AND OWN THAT SHIT because...
that's what grown ass adults do. We fuck stuff up and we own it and we apologize when we do, because adulting is hard.
I'm sorry. I hope nobody takes any shit on my account. Either of you get any, you send 'em to me. You all oughta do that anyway, I have an excellent go-away button that I am GOOD AT USING. Just ask the bitch who came at me about SEE THROUGH SHOWERS OF ALL THINGS like honey that was 2017 I am well aware those things have blinds in them but let's be honest does anyone use the blinds on the shower side?
Tumblr media
I mean if you're already a guy who takes 50 minute showers and you booked a hotel room with a window in there and also you spend your own bankroll to book a couple trip and make a couple video and buy the rights to the GAY SOUNDTRACK and post rainbow code in it and make the whole thing a love song, whether you actually use the blinds in shower is not really the point, is it? LET ME TELL YOU THIS PERSON ANON'D ME ABOUT IT. TWICE. Because gatekeeping adult men with healthy sex lives is what some people get off on doing, I guess, and then call ME weird. But that's a whole other story. And what I'm gonna go do is find my edit button and fix some stuff. Thank you for your patience, honestly. I appreciate it.

Tuesday 3/8, Chagigah 27: at the sound of the atone
This kind of passage is why I keep coming back to Daf Yomi even when I'm frustrated. I hesitate to call it beautiful, but it is a powerful sentiment, the idea that once the temple has fallen, we are each in charge of our own atonement. The idea that the dinner table can be the altar.
Also wow, we really are going right out of Chagigah and into Yevamot, huh? Farewell Seder Moed! We barely knew ye.

Monday 11/21, Nedarim 27: Death Is A Circumstance
Not to get all serious on the dad joke sideblog, but there is something immensely touching about this whole situation. The idea of knowing you’re going to die and taking steps to release someone you love from additional nonsense surrounding your death, when those steps are divorce, juxtaposes this usually very negative experience with a profound act of care that you don’t generally see even in a modern era of conscious uncoupling. I acknowledge divorce can be an extremely positive act and I think it’s a necessary element of any culture that has a conception of marriage, but it’s frequently a very ugly thing and to see it framed as a gesture of love in this way struck me.

Thursday 7/28, Ketubot 22: Let’s Go To The Gay Bar

Monday 10/24, Ketubot 110: City Mouse
Much as I love living in a city, I feel like Rabbi Yosei bar Hanina was very apt in quoting Nehemiah to prove that a city can be a very trying place to live. General hubbub indeed.

My #1 post of 2022
I rarely comment on current events, and this is a horrible thing I wish had never happened and an example along several different axes of institutional antisemitism. But I will say that the dry, calm, INTENSE SALT coming from the congregants and Rabbi trapped inside is giving me life. From “We weren’t freed” to “not a shot fired” right down to the Rabbi letting the shooter in because he seemed in need of shelter. It’s genuine class all the way around.  
May we all have the compassion to welcome the dispossessed and the courage to throw a chair in defense of the innocent.

Funeral Parade of Roses
This movie was very weird and unhinged, touching on subjects I never expected from 1969. It is a nonlinear film, the current events of the film being seemingly out of order, forcing the viewer to piece it together. In combination with the random behind-the-scenes interviews, I didn’t catch on to what was going on until about halfway through the film. I do find this very interesting. Out of all of the films I’ve seen this has probably piqued my curiosity of what all symbolism means, and what the hell was going through the director's brain while putting this all together. This is definitely an art-house film if I’ve ever seen one. 
I loved the subject of this film, focusing on a part of Japanese society I was not familiar with in the 1960s. Having seemingly regular gay people who are not exaggerated into harmful homophobic stereotypes was genuinely cool. Eddie is who we follow and she is indulging in this lifestyle. She puts makeup on, dresses up, works at a gay bar, and sleeps with men. She seems relatively happy besides the very jarring scenes that do appear every now and then. The first, that comes into mind is the uncomfortable sex scene which just cuts into some nonsensical stuff. It probably means something but I didn’t catch on. And there can be some uncomfortable scenes that don’t make much sense. And that’s the thing, most of the film feels like there is no real direction. The point isn’t really made clear until the end of the film. This blog post for this film is jumbled because the film was a jumble.
What I gathered as the actual story is that Eddie is sleeping with the owner of the gay bar, Gonda, who is with the Madame of the bar, Leda. This is information you gather as the film goes on as this situation is presented at the beginning of the film as Leda notices Gonda driving Eddie out. Leda will question Gonda’s love for her and be mean-spirited towards Eddie for the entirety of the film until she commits(not sure) suicide over the heartbreak. Eddie takes her role. 
It is presented multiple times that Eddie doesn’t know her father, all she has is a picture of her and her parents, her father’s face burnt away. She seems to not have a good relationship with her mother which is presented by the fact you never see her besides I think flashbacks (These scenes kinda just happen). First on is when Eddie claims that her mom doesn’t need dad because she has Eddie, her mom just laughs at her. And then a scene where Eddie feels lonely (I guess), she puts on lipstick and kisses herself in the mirror, and when her mom catches her, she beats Eddie. I believe Eddie was lonely and wanted to feel wanted by her mother, resulting in her apparently killing her mom and a random man she was sleeping with. My assumption is this is either some weird jealousy from Eddie or rage from neglect. It is clear now that Eddie is still living life fine now so I presumed this is in the past.
Why does this matter? It seems Eddie’s family situation comes to a head when she sleeps with Gonda again, and he checks this picture of Eddie and her parents. He then freaks out and kills himself. He is the father in this picture. That was wild. I’m not entirely sure of all the symbolism means and what most of this film is about but I’m always down to watch the story of gay people living life because more representation and exposure is cool.
