#this may be stupid but it feels really validating so i'm just really happy right now

[amomentsescape]

Hey, in a school play thats coming up in a few months and just got back from practice. Feeling super exhausted and under pressure cause I might have to miss a dress rehearsal for an important field trip and I dont want the teacher to be disappointed be like "oh my God that upping bitch ditched the 2nd dress rehearsal to go on some stupid field trip" (leaving this is an almost unreadable color so if it gets made I dont have to see that part and feel anxious again) so can I request slashers with a significant other in that situation and they support them all through it, the anxiety, lines, and coming home super exhausted and feeling discouraged all leading up to the play? Cause its still somthing they're determined and wanna do? Thanks in advance if you decide to write this then ill be rereading it till the play is over and maybe after it. Its probably dumb my feelings about it all seem stupid but I'm nerodivergent and things are just extra for me then most people.

Slashers with Overwhelmed! Reader That's in a School Play

Includes: Freddy, Michael, Jason, Thomas, Bubba, Brahms, Norman, Billy, Stu, Vincent, Bo, & Lester

A/N: Hey, your feelings are very much valid no matter the situation! Thank you for sending in your request, and I hope you find some rest soon <3

Freddy Krueger

He's grown a bit concerned over the past couple of weeks

Seeing you show up in his world with that exhausted look on your face wasn't something he liked to see

Has listened to you rant about the situation while he just held you

But he's also been there to keep you going even when you thought about giving up

If you need help with lines and preparing, he's happy to be of assistance!

Can literally morph the world into a stage for you

Anything that makes you feel a little more at ease is worth it

And he'll happily keep you in his world for however long you desire

Something about being with him helps you get the rest you've so desperately needed recently

Michael Myers

He honestly doesn't understand what the big deal is at first

You're stressed from the busy schedule? Then quit the play

But once you express how important it is to you and why you want to stick with it, he takes a little pity on you

Doesn't really help with lines or anything

But whenever you need some alone time, Michael is happy to oblige

If you need to rant, Michael is willing to lend an ear

It might not look like he's listening, but he is

He has offered to "get rid" of your problem a few times

Which you quickly said no to

Overall, he may not be the most supportive person to go to, but he does his best to be there for you in his own way

Jason Voorhees

Jason has already gotten used to the routine now

In fact, whenever you come home, he already has a fluffy blanket laid out on the couch for you along with a warm beverage

Forces you to take at least 5 minutes to sit down and chill

Even if you protest, Jason refuses to let you jump straight into more work

If you're feeling particularly anxious, he's more than happy to hold you or just sit beside you and rub your back

He's happy to help you with anything you need too

He's not the best at giving lines since he's not much of a talker...

But he's very good at following along with your script and giving you a nod if you memorized something correctly

He cares a lot about your wellbeing, so whatever will help you out is what Jason wants to do

Thomas Hewitt

He's also become a bit worried about you recently

He just hates seeing you look so worn out all of the time

Happily makes you dinner and snacks when you get home since he knows you appreciate not having to do it all yourself

He'll also run you a warm bath on evenings when you are particularly stressed out

He admires your dedication for sure, he just doesn't want you to burn out

Will not let you stay up late either

The moment it's bedtime, he makes you go to bed

It doesn't matter if you protest or not

He knows rest is important, and he'll happily lie right on top of you to make sure you don't get up from the mattress

Bubba Sawyer

Every time you come home looking worried, Bubba is all over you

He's hugging you, holding your hand, and even following you around like a puppy the whole night

He hates seeing you as anything but happy

Will do crazy charades and dances to get you to smile

He's also been stalking up on a lot of your favorite snacks and candies so that you always have something for a little more energy

He also cares a lot about you getting enough rest too

If you ever try to pull an all-nighter or stay up late in order to practice your lines, Bubba is right there with you

And seeing him forcing himself to stay awake just ends up guilting you into finally going to bed

He may seem innocent, but Bubba knows how to persuade you when he deems necessary

Brahms Heelshire

Brahms also recommends just quitting the play at first

It seems to be stressing you out too much, and he hates spending so much time away from you

But when you tell him that this is all important to you, he gives in

He'll (begrudgingly) go through lines with you and help you memorize them

Reassures you that everything will be fine and work out

Is happy to give you as many cuddles and kisses as you want in order to help you feel better

He still expects you to follow the rules list

But he's willing to be fairly lenient if you really need it

Norman Bates

He's very sweet and understanding about the whole situation

Doesn't even question why you're still doing everything even with all the stress

Meets you at the door each night and grabs your things, putting them aside

Has dinner already prepared for you

And he's happy to help you with lines or anything else you need!

He's actually the one who offered

If he sees that you're feeling extra stressed, he urges you to tell him what you're thinking

He refuses to let you bottle up your worries

He always responds with reassurances or advice depending on what you want

Billy Loomis

Believe it or not but Billy has had a little experience in theatre back in his day

He's a heartthrob; he always got cast in good roles

He's actually good at acting too and makes learning your lines feel a lot more legit

Even helps you with the delivery of the lines as well

He waits for you to come to him if you need anything

Advice, cuddles, questions, you name it

If you need it, just ask, and he'll be happy to supply

If anyone gives you a particularly hard time, Billy will go have a "talk" with them

Don't worry, he won't kill anyone

Well, unless you ask

Stu Macher

Stu somehow always makes a stressful situation better

If you need help with lines, he'll go all out

Will throw on random clothes and grab just about anything to use as a prop

Delivers his lines with such charisma that you'd think he was Shakespeare

He pushes you to take frequent breaks when you can

A nice walk outside, a little TV sesh, or even going to get some ice cream real quick are all frequent suggestions made by Stu

He admires your passion for what you're doing, he just doesn't want you to push yourself too hard

Every night while in bed, he's there whispering reassurances to you and telling you how proud he is for what you're doing

Vincent Sinclair

Vincent really wants to help, he just doesn't know how

But the moment you ask anything of him, he'll jump on it immediately

Brings you water and food frequently while you're busy

And on overwhelming days, he already has your bags and meals prepped for you so you can just head right out the door

Makes sure you're asleep every night before he'll even let himself rest

He also offers a lot of physical reassurance too if you need it

His hand on top of yours, gentle back rubs, and long hugs are all done if you initiate them

He really focuses on taking care of you and making sure you're not exhausting yourself too much

Bo Sinclair

It honestly pisses him off

You coming home each night feeling anxious and looking so tired makes Bo angry at your school

Would really love to invite your teacher over to have a "talk" about everything

But he knows you'd never allow that

Will help you with lines if you insist

He's not very good at it, but the sentiment is there

His help is really focused on the practical

He makes sure you eat dinner, drink enough water, get enough sleep, etc.

He's not much of a cuddler, but that definitely changes when you're going through a tough time

He's very much looking forward to when the play is finally done

Lester Sinclair

He always gives you lots of compliments

"You're such a hard-worker" "I know you're gonna do great" "It'll be all worth it"

Will give you a ride to wherever you need to go whenever you need to get there

Will spoil you quite a bit during this time too

Multiple bags of snacks, new comfy clothes, late night drives around the town, etc.

Whatever he can do to make you feel better, he wants to do it

He worries a lot about you though

So there will be a few times when you're the one needing to reassure him that you're alright

— I'M GONNA LOVE YOU, RIGHT TILL' YOU HATE ME GENDER NEUTRAL READER 

IMAGINE: Yandere!Twst cast, dreaming of the MC, before they ended up Twst, and even though they searched for them, they couldn't quite find them... now that they've found them.. they can't seem to let you go.. how would they feel when they've learned that there are more competitors for your love.

A/N: I'm gonna call this the dreaming of you au! I have some plans for it.. I had to split this in part, because of tumblr's fucking word limit.

SAVANACLAW / HEARTSLABYUL / DIASOMNIA / OCTAVINELLE / SCARABIA + IGNIHYDE / POMEFIORE

He couldn’t recall when the dreams had first started, it was quite suffocating.. Looking back, he was tired of the same dream over and over again, yet it changed.. Slowly, he watched you growing up along with him, it was as if his dreams mirrored your own life.. And at one point, he believed that these vivid dreams held some meaning, there had to be a reason why he’d keep seeing the same person over and over again… At one point, he even started to believe that you were his.. Someone meant for him.. And as he grew older, he couldn’t help but search for you, wanting to validate his thoughts and imagination, which has gotten rather out of hand over the past few years. 

He didn’t even consider that others would have taken interest in you as well, ‘did they see you in their dreams as well?’.. The thought would have driven him wild, had he not been patient thus far, he might have truly lost himself then and there.. However, if he had waited this long, then it wouldn’t have been difficult to wait a bit longer.. After all.. He knew you a lot better than you know yourself.. He just needs you to realize.. That you’re his.. and he is yours…

YANDERE!AZUL, From his very first dream and then on, he was infatuated with you.. You were a positive change from his own dreadful school life, he’d take naps somewhere in class time, avoiding his schoolmates, where you’d haunt his dreams.. But he didn’t mind, you were so lovely.. So sweet.. Surely, you wouldn’t treat him like others did… would you? No! Of course you wouldn’t! You were better than those lowlifes, you weren’t stupid nor despicable, your thoughts were lovely and he loved seeing you in his dreams, your happiness was but his own.. And the thought of you by his side cheered him on.. However, when he had first seen you.. he knew immediately, that others viewed you in the same way as he did.. Something he couldn’t help but despise..  Maybe he should bind you to a deal.. One in his favor of course.. However, he knows better than that.. his dreams of you were so serene, you were far too angelic in his eyes for him to taint and bind, he'd love to see you as free as a bird, all the while having your love and eyes, look only towards his own.. it may be quite difficult to have it that way, however he wasn't new to playing dirty.. and if that was the price he needed to pay, to have his way, then so be it.. After all, he couldn't last a moment without you any longer, you were his from the beginning, and you will continue to be his, no matter what.. However, he does wish you’ll accept him before all else.. and forgive him for any crime he may commit..

YANDERE!JADE, Jade found it rather interesting, he used to never have dreams.. really.. It was just a blur in his memories in the morning, he remembers his mother asking him at the breakfast table, about his dreams.. Floyd almost had something, rather concerning to say to his mother, which they’d laugh off as something playful.. But when it came around to him, he couldn’t answer, he remained quiet until the topic changed, simply flashing a smile towards his mother, who probably was dissatisfied with her child's lack in enthusiasm about typical things, every child they had met was interested in trivial things, truly they had such out of the box, and unordinary children.. Not that they cared for it, Floyd filled in for jade’s lack of enthusiasm anyways. Where Floyd lacked, Jade could fill in the gaps, truly a pair of perfect, close knitted siblings… That night when he slept, he had a dream.. However it was odd.. For someone who barely dreamt, or couldn’t remember anything as if it was a blur in his memories, he remembered this one well, a weeping child, around his age, sitting in front of the TV, watching a rather unfamiliar horror show, that they obviously shouldn’t have, way beyond their bed time. That’s where it started, where he became so obviously drawn to you, and your presence, an amazing person and sweet person you were, you were very enthusiastic.. well at least in a more typical way, compared to his brother, he was drawn to you instantaneously… maybe he fell for you early on as well, he was contempt with watching you, and letting his childish love flourish, into something rather twisted and resentful, for as he grew, he began growing rather angry.. At the fact that you weren’t here, and that even in his dreams he couldn’t quite interact with you.. That was until he had finally met and saw you… at that moment the man felt an explainable amount of joy, his crooked smile, seemed much more genuine, and rather frightening.. As he watched you playfully prance around.. Oh if you knew just how twisted your life was about to become, you would have ran and hid… 

YANDERE!FLOYD, Floyd had dreams ever so often, they were quite obscene however, and rather creative.. They were very vivid as well.. And he was proud of them, he told his brother and mother in heavy detail about his dreams, and would love any surprised looks and glances he’d get from them, Jade’s smile would shake up a bit, while his brows would perk up, and eyes widen every so softly, he knew that expression way too well, Jade always seemed to be concerned for his safety and mental health while he expressed his stories and dreams with great excitement.. He loved and adored getting a reaction out of people, especially when it was one of fear.. Though that was something he gave up expecting from his family.. And then he had a dream.. A dream of someone rather unfamiliar, a person.. They seemed soft, and kind…. Well he’d rather not go into detail.. At first Floyd would simply view you from afar, not that he couldn’t interact, he just didn’t mind watching you from a distance.. Until he finally did interact with you.. He scared you.. He put on his best act, and boy.. was your reaction scrumptious.. your unsolicited fear drove him wild.. He couldn’t help but crave more… so every now and then.. He’d disturb your peaceful self, in his dreams.. by scarring you.. It drove him really, to see you quiver in fear as you lost your composure.. And then suddenly you didn’t appear in his dreams anymore.. Something that greatly agitated the eel… and then he saw you on campus.. and as the two of you met eyes, he could see the color drain from your face, and Floyd grinned.. “Heya shrimpy”.. Floyd, wouldn’t take well, when he found out his little’ shrimpy' had others, who have taken quite the interest towards them as well.. After all, you were his, long before you came here..

Percy Jackson Episode 4 Thoughts!!

Right. Slightly more coherent than before.

Plot:

- Very close to the book, tho I like the lean towards making the Echidna fight more suspenseful than it is in the musical or the book.

(Even if it is a shame to cut the Chimera/Chihuahua joke I think this is a great move away from undermining the tension with comedy in the way that Marvel does.

- Love the stuff with Annabeth and the cops. Her standing up to them is both poignant with current politics and does a great job to show her bravery and how out of touch with the mortal world she is, forgetting she's 12 because she's been in camp for so long.

- I'm really interested in the fact they are taking so long to set up the Grover backstory and Pan stuff. I like how much weight they are giving it.

- also congrats kids. You blew up a bus AND a train AND the gateway arch. I couldn't be prouder.

-also, (I may be wrong and correct me if I am) but I believe they changed Echidna's motivation from trying to push Percy to test his powers, to avenging some super pissed off gods. And I think that it tightens the story by doing so. It makes the gods unlikable and you can really stand and empathize with [Book spoiler] Luke's motivations.

Characterisations:

Grover:

Man are they going off with Grover. Similarly to being, cutting some of his comedy for meaningful moments is fantastic.

You really feel a depth to him which was maybe lacked in the musical and books. I adore how they are weaving in his bravery and levelhead too, it feels a tad more mature than with Percy and Annabeth and that makes absolute sense. He's done this before and boy can you feel how scared of messing up he is.

Also also. I adore how the writers have established a relationship between Grover and Annabeth as well as Grover and Percy. The books could never really elaborate on that because we have Percy's POV and so he'd miss that in places. But the show is doing great with my boi Grover!

Additionally, as an environmentalist myself, I'm happy they are weaving that in a way that feels organic. Great writing and acting choices all around especially with Aryan Simhadri who is killing it.

Annabeth:

Man does this episode sink it's teeth into her characterisation. I love how we are getting a thorough elaboration on her feelings to the Gods and Athena. And Oh boi is she the opposite to Luke. She craves her mother's admiration and... She's not seeing it. It's a great choice because it highlights how hands off the gods are and that the system NEEDS to change.

I also like how they tied that desperation for validation into her hubris. It's still pride her. But it's pride in her mother. And man, the pride with her plan feeding into her being self sacrificial reminds you so hard that they are all just kids.

Also, where would I be if I didn't mention how good the moments with Percy are. Him teasing her and getting a genuine laugh was beautiful. I love the chemistry for all of these actors.

Percy:

I love this idiot. He's so angry and scared and also funny. God, I love the nuance being brought to him. I love the genuine fear that he has facing the Chimera and being arrested by the cops. I also love how Walker Scobell sells the anger at the gods for implicating his friends in his actions to send Medusa's head. Great stuff.

Additionally, I love the moment on the bridge, this idiot (smart but brash) pulling a self sacrifice on the bridge feeds so well into his undying loyalty to a fault. Willing to trick his friends into letting him die, to save them is a very Percy thing. I also enjoy how they haven't made Percy stupid, whilst keeping Annabeth still more strategic than him, by having him basically just steal her plan.

Also the soft stuff in this episode fucking ruled. The train car joking, him cheering Annabeth up with a stupid voice. The little asides.

Overall, god I love these dumb kids. And this show has made me start rereading the books!!!! Am I hyperfixating again??! Never!!!

.

.

. Yes I am.

I'm telling you right now I know without a doubt in my mind that the the most reassurance Mike ever got in his WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE was when from Will when he said he too feels like he's going crazy. And every heart-to-heart after that. Because I know damn well if this boy felt like he was going crazy and Will didn't relate to that at all and was just like, "Oh...you are crazy, Michael," then Mike would've never opened up in his entire life, ever again, end of story.

We clearly see in this scene that Mike rambles about his feelings of being insane and then tries to play it off kinda as a joke, as he chuckles and shakes his head saying he feels like he's going crazy. He tries to pretend like it's no big deal but it's clearly eating at him.

And then Will also feels like he's going crazy so he opens up and tells him he feels the same way. For Mike, this may be the biggest relief, not because he's really happy his best friend is also borderline losing his mind, but because he's not alone. Because when you're...crazy...sometimes you feel like you're alone. But Will makes him feel like he's not alone at all. Like he's better for being crazy, and that gives him the courage to fight on.

That's why Will is even more of Mike's go to for heart-to-hearts from Season 2 and beyond because of this interaction. Because Will gets it. Mike also does similar things like deflect and play his emotions off as stupid like in the van. But you know who reassures him again that it's not stupid? Will. And then he gives him a fucking painting to show how not stupid and important and valid and amazing Mike is.

I'm sorry (not really) but Mike never got that from El. El wasn't that for Mike. She never got it like Will did. Will understood without words. El needed everything to be said, enunciated, and clearly written, which, mind you, isn't a bad thing to need at all. She deserves that. She's just not going to get that from Mike who feels like his feelings are stupid enough in his own head without even portraying or saying them.

So, yeah, Mike needs Will, and he always will. Because Will his home. Will is safe. Will reassures him. Will comforts him. Will always knows what to do or say when Mike doesn't.

No one can tell me the feelings Mike Wheeler has for Will Byers are platonic after this, because they just aren't. Mike would happily spend the rest of his goddamn life playing games with Will in his basement because that's enough for him. Because Will's enough for him. Will who validates his feelings and tells him he's the heart. But what Will doesn't realize is he's just as much Mike's heart as Mike is his.

#byler #crazy together #nobody validates mikes feelings more than will #will understands mike so he doesnt have to use words because will just gets it #will is mikes home #will who shows mike his importance #will who tells him he's not alone in feeling crazy #will who tells him he's the heart and he's always going to be loved and needed #will who is mikes goddamn lifeline and the most precious being in the whole world to him #nothing is more powerful than these two's relationship #once they realize the importance of their ability to make each other feel like they're better #then it's over for vecna #st 5 is gonna be a hell of a ride #they give each other the courage to fight on

[hush-writes-preg]

i’ve been wanting to say this for a while, and im still not sure i’m gonna say it right, but i really appreciate your blog. i’ve been having issues with my ovaries for a while and it’s still not clear if i’m fertile or even gonna get to Keep my ovaries much longer. it’s been really stressful, because i really want to be able to get pregnant, and i might never be able to. but one of the worst parts is that i’m transmasc, and a lot of people- including my own family- can’t wrap their heads around being a man and wanting to be pregnant. even other transmascs seem to think i can’t actually be trans and genuinely want this. people pity me cus they think Society is what made me feel this way, and they have to “help” by convincing me this is something i don’t actually want.

you and all your followers have been the opposite of that. seeing so many other transmascs who openly (and sometimes desperately) want to experience pregnancy has made me feel like so much less of an other. seeing people who aren’t transmasc but have transmasc friends/partners being so encouraging and supportive when this is something they want has felt so validating. it’s such a positive and welcoming environment here, and it’s so comforting.

so i guess the main takeaway is everyone should keep being horny, because there’s at least one person who really appreciates it.

Hey there, Aster! Thanks for hopping into my inbox with your kind words! 💖

I've said it before, and I'll continue saying it long into the future for old and new followers alike-- this blog exists because I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to feel appreciated, validated, and seen in regard to this kink. I don't care what parts anyone was born with, what parts anyone has now, or what anyone's age(18+)/gender/sexuality is. Anyone can feel the desire to be pregnant or to impregnate someone else, and that feeling should be celebrated.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had so much trouble with your original plumbing, Aster, and that you aren't sure if you'll be able to conceive. That's a really shitty situation to be in when you actually want to get pregnant. I've known a few people on Tumblr who are in similar health-related situations, and I just wish I could give all of you a big hug (if it's wanted). It's really not fair. The universe is pretty shit for allowing that to happen in the first place. But you're not alone, okay? I don't know how much comfort that offers you, but there are folks out there who commiserate, understand what you're struggling with, and hope that you'll be able to eventually find happiness regardless of what happens.

And yeah... family and society can suck big time sometimes. OFC you can't be male and want to carry a child, right? /s In my opinion, those people are nothing more than gatekeepers who have no business being involved in your body and business. The knowledge that these kinds of opinions are so commonplace really pisses me off. The desire to procreate is a ridiculously ordinary (though not universal) part of being human, so why shouldn't anyone be allowed to use the parts they have to make a baby if they want to? Or be allowed to find other reasonable ways to make it happen? :throws-table.gif:

Ugh. I'll get off of my soapbox now.

All that said, if the space I'm nurturing and the community we're all building is one of support, encouragement, and affirmation, then that's a dream fulfilled for me. We may be stuck feeling like an Other elsewhere thanks to societal stupidity, but not here. Here we're all as incredible and sexy and fertile as we wish to be, and I refuse to hear otherwise.

You're awesome, Aster. Try to stay positive, do what you can to take care of your troublesome bits, and love yourself the way you are. And if you ever need to vent about this stuff, my DMs are open, okay?

I adore all of you horny, breedable fuckers. 💖 Don't any of you forget it.

Snowcone was cuddled up in her room with a good book, one she had stolen from the restricted section of a magic library...coincidentally the reason she was grounded as well. 

Oh well, she got left alone at the very least.

That is, until the knock at her door.

“Hey, are you okay? May I come in?”

The cup of Snowcone’s emotional limits overflowed as soon as the knock rung through her room. She shoved her head under her pillow and screamed into the muffling cushion before calling out a response.

"I'm fine but I would really prefer if you wouldn’t!"

“Fair enough.”

Aurora’s voice sounded through the door, even and calm. A nice contrast from Mom and Mother’s constant nagging, plus she knocked instead of barging in. But Snowcone still didn’t want to deal with her right now.

“I brought you chickpea tikka from the Tasty Treat, though. Can I at least drop it off?”

There was a moment of silence so quiet one could hear a pin drop, followed by the sound of rushing hooves and a lock clicking. 

"You can come in if you want, I don't really care."

Aurora entered the room, not paying mind to the mess strewn across Snowcone’s floor or the curtains drawn on a hot summer’s afternoon, instead simply placing the dish on Snowcone’s nightstand.

“Sorry you got grounded. I’m around to talk if you want.”

“Thank you.”

Snowcone immediately hopped back onto her bed and shoved her nose in her book, not wanting to make eye contact after mumbling her answer.

She let out a deep sigh when Aurora began speaking. 

"What is there to talk about? I broke a stupid rule and Mother thought I'd learn my lesson sitting in my room for the 49th time!" 

She was so frustrated by all this, she had this impulse and taking a look at this book would scratch that impulse in her brain. It made her feel a whole lot better for...an hour. 

What was the harm?

Unfortunately instead of leaving her alone, Aurora decided to settle down by the end of her bed.

“I don’t think it’s a stupid rule. Restricted spells are a pretty big deal. You may not be planning to do anything with it but who knows what would happen if the wrong pony got their hooves on it. These rules are meant to keep Equestria safe.”

Aurora tried to lighten the mood a bit.

“At least you didn’t end up in juvenile detention.”

Right away Snowcone whipped her head around and lashed out at Aurora. She was lucky her sister was understanding because she was spitting fire at the poor mare. 

"You think I don't know that?! You seriously think I'd let it get into the wrong hooves?! Why did you come in here if you only wanted to...”

She stopped and teared up a little bit. 

"Yeah, I guess I didn't..."

Aurora simply patted her back in an attempt at comfort.

“I get it. You’re stressed out in school, you’re grounded, of course you’re having a hard time. I don’t think you’ve had Veuve over in awhile either.”

Then she opened a can of worms.

“Is something going on?”

Aurora validating her emotions felt so good, she explained herself and she was totally right!

Snowcone began to wonder why she didn't talk to her more often...

The next question made her less than happy though. How in Equestria was she meant to answer that? Should she tell the truth? Lie? 

"Nothing, I don't want to talk about it. You're just gonna shrug and then leave me to deal with it myself anyways."

To her dismay, Aurora pressed on.

“Not if you really need help, I won’t. I don’t always have the best advice but Aura has been helping Eclipse a lot, no? You don’t need to tell me anything but she might be able to help you too.”

Snowcone let out a deep sigh and shoved her pillow on top of her head as Aurora went on. 

"I'm not too sure about that and I would quite rather kill myself, but sure. What’s the worst that can happen? I'll go."

I wasn’t going to make a post about this because truthfully I don’t really know what I could add that hasn’t already been said but I wanted to share my favorite pics of Lisa Marie and some thoughts

Last year I went through another difficult celebrity death (Leslie Jordan) and it was the first one that really hit me and now Lisa, is just as difficult and heartbreaking.

as Lion ( @succsessions ) said in her post -

It is strange to grieve someone you’ve never met

Both with Leslie and now with Lisa Marie (and Elvis obviously) I felt this underlying... shame almost? I felt stupid as if I shouldn't miss someone I didn't know. But I just wanted to give some reassurance to anyone who may feel the same.

Your sadness and heartache and grieving IS valid, no matter how you knew them. Whether it was from a distance or not. Do not feel ashamed of it.

We are lucky enough to have this website and each other to lean on during this time as we grieve and process. And I could not be more grateful for it. You are NOT alone. I know I for one am here for anyone who needs someone right now. My dm's on @burninlovebutlerr are always open for anyone who needs it.

My heart is with the Presley family and Austin of course. She was taken too soon and it is so unfair. It is insane how someone could be here literally 2 days ago and be gone the next. I can't even imagine what Priscilla is going through right now.

I am so happy she at least got to see her father be remembered and honored and loved in a big way through Austin and the movie and gain a new generation of fans who will carry on his legacy.

I have an unfortunate gnawing feeling that this mixed with award season is going to be a press hell scape for the family and Austin and I hope as a community we can do our best at defending and protecting them.

As Amanda ( @loving-elvis ) said - I'm just taking solace in the fact she's with her daddy and son again

Rest in peace Lisa Marie, we will love you and miss you just as fiercely and just as long as we do your papa - you will not be forgotten ❤️⚡️

#this was so long for no reason #but what's fucking new #my heart is absolutely shattered #sobbing incoherently #rest in peace my love #lisa marie presley #elvis #elvis presley #priscilla presley #austin butler

You have to stop making such amazing art. Tumblr is so restricting I can’t possibly reblog it enough /lh But alas. Words also have meaning, right?

Be warned: I may not make any sense because I’m tired <3

Your art is literally so. Inspiring though. Your style is so beautiful and pretty and it’s just somehow— It makes me want to create? Honestly. I’d love to have a style like yours, but also I’m happy with mine! So instead, the inly valid thing to do is EAT YOUR ART AND REBLOG SO MANY TIMES!!! I’m keeping my own style, and building off it: While you and other artists do the same with what you do!

That being said. Your art just makes my day sometimes. Seeing you post gives me such joy and anytime I see the stupid silly (Cedar /Affec) it’s an instant giggling and kicking my feet like a feral child. So much stimming happens, and I literally love every design and thing you come up with. It’s just. Woah <3

My want to eat art is always at a 10/10: Let me consume the heckin heckles out of everything. Like. shredding the entire walls up. Such zoomies from art. Everything about your art most times just feels. Soft and cozy. Makes it feel like home sometimes and probably tastes like. Fluff. (That’s not a taste but whatever. It counts in my brain?) Maybe even like some sweet candy or dish, idek. Tastes aren’t tasting but damn art does arting?

Not only are you a cool and amazing talented artist, you’re also such a cool person beyond that and just so sweet I would just like to hug, yknow? Strangely I feel like I should be like. Somewhat intimidated because COOL PERSON ARTIST WOAH YOU INTERACT WITH ME??!? But also, I’m not… Really that intimidated? I don’t know, feel welcoming, just like the feeling yoir art brings and its just. Comforting?

You and your silly goody personality is so amazing and you’re so talented, I’m gonna flee now back into the ground: Hopefully this made somewhat sense— And that you have a lovely week/day/month— Just time in general!

*descends away*

~ Z

No I won't stop! Only pretty designs and silly guys ✨! (I am also very tired so its all okay. Also apologies if you wanted this answered privately.)

Also I'm gonna cry abkvjadbvjkkdvbad /pos This means so much! I'm very bad with explaining how I feel but I'm gonna try my bets lmao. It makes me so happy to hear that people really like my stuff, AND think I'm a cool person! I want my space to be kinda chill, friendly, etc and I'm very glad that so far I've been doing a pretty good job :'D

tysm again! I'm very glad u like my stuff (and think I'm cool). I woke up a few hours ago with a headache, dizziness, and was just generally feeling kinda bad and couldn't go back to sleep. But seeing this ask has so far made my day 100 times better! I hope the space I provide continues to bring joy (or just general silliness) to you and others <3

(also I'm glad you like my art too. Ive been having weird issues looking @ my own art since December, which I've never had before, so it makes me become a little silly whenever I get a comment on it. Really improves my motivation and lot and helps me continue what I love most: drawing funny guys and beasties :>)

#anon #z anon #kheprriask #tysm for like the millionth time #also maybe almost started crying this morning?? its good dw #just makes me rly happy to hear this <3

Proud Family Black History Month Special: I Had a Dream and Juneteenth (Comissioned by WeirdKev27)

Happy Black History Month all you happy people! And once again we're celebrating it with the Proud Family.

Last year Louder and Prouder launched and I covered it as it did and soon after covered Father Figures, it's wonderful ep about gay parents. I.. never finished the season as none of the episodes apart from Al Roker as Himself, a Magical Genie intrested me. And yes I will likely do all threre Al Roker as Himself, A Magical Genie episodes at some point. It didn't seem BAD it's just the inherent meanness in a lot of the comedy, some of the stuff that hadn't aged well like Oscar hitting on women who aren't his wife, and other probelms simply .. hadn't gone away and there's no excuse given the creators had two whole decades to refelct on the original series. THey still did well updating it for today in both clothing and refrences and the series is still deeply entrenched in black culture in a wonderful way, so it wasn't bad I just wasn't intrested.

Thankfully Season 2.. seems to be an improvement, as the creators have now proven the show can be a hit and thus are running with the creative freedom. Just from the clips i've seen, I intend to watch the seaosn in full when I have the time, their going hard. As someone with Autisim, their treatment of it seems nuanced, deep , and incredibly well done and heartfelt, and it seem the season has a nice ballance of usual hyjinks and some fairly deep subjects done well and that kids could bear to know about like colorisim, slave ownership and just how much the country was BUILT on slavery, as shown in what's now become the series most notable scene and ione i've watched a LOT at this point, despite seeming to come at the end of an episode that has nothing to do with the topic, yet still feeling fully waranted

And that's what brings us here. See in the wake of this, as those of you thankfully off twitter may not be aware of tons of right wing trolls came out of their troll holes to gnash their teeth at how THE PROUD FAMILY IS WOKE NOW and HOW DARE YOU BRAINWASH OUR CHILDREN. Which is extra hilarious as I didn't know till watching today's episode from Louder and Prouder, Juneteenth, that they actually TACKLE this sort of thing and it has a term: White Fragility, where white people with thin skin get defensive at the first sign their history is racist among other things. They even brought up a books pecifically that i'm now going to try and get simply because I want to avoid this sort of shit myself. Seriously i'm not making this shit up, they likely knew damn well at least one of the episodes would piss off white people, and were well prepared for it.. and they proved them right. And i'm white myself.. and I find our history of slavery, racasim and overall colonalist bullshit fucking horrifying. It's the right thing to do. It's bad when you find out something or someone you belivied in was horrible. It sucks, but the responsible thing is to move on, not support it, and let history show.

It also brought up a valid point: Proud Family WAS ALWAYS woke. While it didn't have as many episodes covering it tha'ts not because "Oh they got worse with age". Shows CAN change in revivials and sometims for the worse… but this really isnt' it. It's a simple fact that they coudln' likely tackle topics like police brutality, slave ownership and racisim int eachers without the network yanking their collars and letting their white fragility get the better of them. We live in a time where we can now have those discussions we shoudl've been having all along. And to show it i'm covering two episodes and while this was comissoned, I gladly would've done it for free…. I mean I need money to eat, and I could think of worse things to cover for money.. mostly because I just did staurday

But still, let's take a look at the proud family then and now and see how stupid people are being while we honor black history month with two episodes focused on black history

I Had a Dream

I Had a Dream was the shows black history month episode, coming in season one. The plot is simple: To teach Penny's class about black history, something she's relutcant on as she figures "what's past is past" but still takes to the task wholeheartdly, their teacher has each of his class dress up as a black historical figure. He also goes into the origins of the holiday, something I wasn't familiar with. WHile I saw this episode as a kid i'd clearly forgotten this part in the haze of history: in 1946, historan Carter G. Woodson wanted to spotlight black achivements and thus created Negroe History Week. And in a nice touch he corrects Penny on saying african american as not only was that the closest to a pc term as the time.. but white people called Black Persons MUCH worse, a way to refrence the giant and horrifying parade of horrible slurs without saying them since disney likely had one reaction to them coming up

But they get by with Negro and Colored, both terms I hope never to have to type again. Penny's friends are dicks to an uptight white janitor played by my boy Stephen Root whose somehow important to this episode and penny slips leading exactly where you think it's going to end up.

Penny gets Angela Davis, activist, author and professor. Oscar both gave her the natural necessary to pull off the part and is said to help her study a touch I like, as well as the fact he celebrates freely not only putting on a dashiki at breakfast (and making a fun sarcastic comment about the fact that black history month is the shortest month of the year), but hosting the levar burton film festival. I'm with Trudy i'm not sure there is enough films for one of those and I did look it up. It's mostly tv movies and mini series like roots. Though if it includes Roots and Star Trek The NExt Generation i'm down and it should fill out the night. I love that it shows Oscar, despite often being a dummy… has depth and really knows his own culture and history and encourages that in his daughter. It's something i've noticed in black media with Jumstart making a habit out of it early on of having Marcy quiz her husband joe every year to be ready to teach their children when they got older. I mean their now stuck at 10 and `12 for eternity but still.

Djonay is awful as usual and gets a way better icon than she deserves: Betsy Coleman, one of the first black women pilots. @jess-the-vampire, who I watched these eps with, actually knew a LOT about her, and gladly shared: she had to go to france because she coudln't get taught here, was mostly a stunt performer, and died in a tragic plane accent because planes weren't exactly safe back then. Lacienga is the first black woman to run for president Shirley Chisom and Zoey is CJ Walker, self made milonare. Also while we thankfully don't see sticky he's al sharpton, actvisit, preacher and anti-semite.

Penny gets swept up in winds wizard of Oz Style and winds up in 1955. This part of the episode is… eh. I do like how it shows just how only close to 50 years before this epissode things were worse: black acomplishments weren't recognized (I mean.. even more than they were at the time. I didn't even know a black man invented the traphic light), Zoey avoids her and the school's play area is segregated.. but weirdly the class isn't? Also Stephen Root is the teacher and their teacher is the janitor because racisim. Why they made Janitor Man the token racist is beyond me, esepcailly sinc ein the present he dosen't come off racist just overly obessive about cleaning and wasn't INTENDED to be a bad guy, as the kids later apologize and claen up the hallway for him. So why make him one for this scene?

That ends up being this episodes problem: for those saying "oh proud family isn't subtle anymore".. they never were. This episode is about as subtle as a brick to the head with a note attached saying GET IT IT WAS WORSE. THe episode isn't AWFUL, as it shows both how arbitrary these things were, and dosen't entirley sugarcoat things… it does a little,e specially in comparison to say the color of friendship which I reviewed for a previous black history month, but it still uses the term colored, has Oscar not happy with Penny befriending zoey, and still has the fucking army show up when Penny leads a sit in for immigration. But it honestly also feels a bit … makes it easy. Penny easily gets dream zoey to turn, has a fucking musical number with sticky and recites had a dream. The only thing that makes any of this over the top, "let's all dance and skip" tyep of aseop work is that A) it was likely all they could do at the time and B) it is LITERALLY penny's dream, so the naitvite and toned down aspects come off as what a 12 year old who dosen't likely know just how horrible things were or how severe the punishment for speaking out could get's version of things.

That said taking it as a product of it's time.. it's fantastic and still has a valuale lesson. While ti's watered down yes, the fact they could do this ep at all is a lot, and it's lesson is important for kids: don't forget the past. It's an easy aseop sure but given how much of black history was buried, evne more than I ever realized, and how much said past can be whitewashed and glorified to make people who were racist or had racist tendencys or parts to them that were just awful even if a lot of their actions were noble. HIstory is best when you admit the hard parts with the easy and do not forget what's happened lest it repeat.

And thus while this episode was decent enough.. it makes it fitting that it's sequel series has a spirtual followup: while I agreed to do these episodes before rewatching and watching them, the two end up synching up perfectly. This one was about not forgetting your own history and how hard it was as there's still a ways to go. Juneteenth.. is about those ways to go, facing hard truths, and fighting even when ti's far from easy. This one avoided the consequences of standing up for what you belivie in. This one…. fully leans into them. So without further ado….

Juneteenth

I would be shocked if this episode dosen't make my best of the year list for 2023. This was one powerful as hell half hour that was well done, honest, and awesome.

This one focuses on Maya, the new additon to the series and an activist who acts exactly how a 13 year old actvisit would: often smart and on point, but also just as often lost in her own cause. This one though has her entirely in the right.. but in a way that fits.

So Smithville, where our heroes have lived all this time as it has a name now, is having a celebration honoring it's founder Christan A. Smith, hosted by Mayor Wizard Kelly Ya'll, both of which you can probably took as I did as red flags.

Turns out he's realted to Maya's dad barry, whose going nto get honored as his decendant at a big ceremony and Maya's proud of her heritage. So naturally since she's proud in the proud family.. she gets haunted by a ghost.

Yeah the episode has the ghost of what seems to be a black teenager follow Maya around, hinting that the supposed narrative about smith isn't what he thinks it is. We also get some nice microagression from Maya's teacher who at first refuses to belivie maya is a decendant and then says "It's not really your history is it

Like holy shit we went from "White janitor who'se really cool in real life honest guys and racist teacher verison comes around" to "White Teacher micro agression". It's what I meant: the show was always woke.. it just didn't fully go into the implications of things. Back then they woudl've been told "this wasn't realistic" or some such bullshit. Now they can do this freely and it's.. honest. I was white in school but my own textbooks barely touched on the restoration and glossed over a fact that's key to this episode: that some states held out on slavery and got assurances from Lincoln they wouldn't be effected by abolition. That was just to get the south. Because my own state didn't want to admit it's past wrongs it was framed as "oh well missouri just was for slavery but it was all cool you guys honest. "

And she never.. really gets a compuance. She's shown comtpemplating at the end but.. she never apologizes or anything for what she did or her hero worship of Smith. She's not used as the easy villian of the piece either tho: she's not leading the celebration ons mith: she's just a white idiot worshipping another white idiot and unitenotally conributing to whtie washing his history.

Maya starts to question her history, but holds back from bringing in her dad as h'es so happy. Also we get to see Barry shirtless.

just.. hot damn. I didn't know village people biker was a thing for me. Randall is a damn lucky man.. as is Barry. Just holy shit. I needed a moment.

Back to the actual point of the episode. KJ helps his sister as she can't find anything. And here I get the sense that while the creators of proud family MARGINALLY understand the internet better than they did when they did a whole episode comparing napster to drug addiction and pointing out how record stores would di ebecause of it and other dog whistling… they still really don't as they go to

Which.. isn't how that works. I mean there are other search engines But it is clear Wizard Kelly Google Ya'll is hiding his history before th efounding and something is up.. and while cleaning up his statue with walking white privlage , the ghost poitns Maya to a box that gives her hard evdience to her suspcions: a Diary of Emily, a black woman around their age who lived in Smithville back then.

Since Maya RIGHTFULLY thinks Mrs Karen wouldn't be of any help at best and hide this at worst they instead go to another teacher, Brother Kwame, played by my boy Leslie Odom Junior. Kwame reads the diary out, as it turns out to be the diary of Emily, a young slave who not only planned a Juneteenth in secret.. but was OWNED by smith. Smith owned slaves. And look a white man owned slaves.. isn't shocking. Even George Washington did and Thoms Jerfferson outright assulted one. But the larger point here is it was covered up: that instead of just having open discourse about this man's history and if we really should be on the side of someone who when given the option to let his slaves go or not did not, it was buried. That we shoudlnt' celebrate someone whose inherently awful because of heritage in shit if the bad he did outweighed the good. Keeping people chained up for his own convience trumps "founded a town I guess". Some other white man likely woudl've founded this town. It's not that big bro. HIding history dosen't make it any less fucked up and celebrating fucked up people isn't good. It's whY Colombus Day needs to stop being a thing: because he acomplished ntohing and was just a racist colonizing rapist. Hiding the past.. dosen't make it not there.

So with that Kwame decides to go talk with Wizard Kelly, ya'll, while Maya is forced to tell her dad the awful truth. And Barry, being an upstanding man, loving father and nice dude.. entirley denys it and can't belivie it sending his daughter away in tears. And Randall.. dosent remotely tolerate his shit not backing him up and pointing out his white fragility. And while yeah , plugging the book directly could be a step too far given I didn't know this term existed and now want to read said book, I say it works and frankly more people need to knwo it's an actual term and how to combat themselves doing it. Barry reads it and the animatoin here is wonderful as his face shows he clearly sees himself in the page Randall had ready… but can't bring himself to admit it. And i'm not immune to this: while i've never loudly said "no YOUR wrong that can't be true"… it still took until this episode pointed out Lincoln wasn't just not for freeing the slaves but wanted to simply DEPORT ALL BLACK PEOPLE, for me to finally just shake the notion he wasn't a great person. He did good trying to sew the country back together but he didn't free the slaves and he wasn't trying to do it because slavery was wrong. And I wasn't even that ATTACHED to lincoln, it was just hard to find out something i'd been told my whole life was entire bullshit. It can be hard when you have an emotoinal stake… but it also means you have to do the hard thing and cut tha tpart out of you. When I found out JK Rowling was the TERF she is I sold all my harry potter stuff: it didn't fund her and if you can watch the films and seperate art from artist, go ahead. But I just couldn't bear to have something attached to that monster in me. It was hard to cut out that part of my childhood.. but it needed to be done. You don't pretend it didn't exist, but you acknowlege it's tainted now and may never be the same and you may neve renjoy it NOW like you once did, and that's okay. As with the previous episode this one is about learning from the mistakes of the past instead of trying to simply "move on" and act like it never happened.. and no the irony on me isn't lost disney does this sort of thing constantly and I doubt it was lost on the writers of this episode.

SHOCKINGLY the grossly corrupt billionare mayor who has shown not one iota of a soul to this point didn't respond to an underpaid school teacher bringing the book to him, respnding with "It was in the past ya'll". So our heroes have to go with plan b…. well okay plan C. Lacienga's plan B was "PULL THAT FUCKING STATUE DOWN BITCHES".. I mean she didn't say it that way but it was in her tone. Brother Kwame instead sugggests simply protesting.. though dosen't join in for some reason. Which is somehow the weridest plot element in an episode with a ghost. Though givne we've had actual genie al rooker, talking babies and pandas, and it taking till apparently THIS SEASON for Oscar to get his factory shut down for gross violations when he's far from rich enough to bribe officals, it's far from teh least realistic thing that's happened on this show.

The actual protest.. is brutal as.. it's shockingly realistic. Our heroes simply show up protesting.. and Wizard Kelly's response is to "put those kids in cuff's ya'll". Seriously all the dialouge he has this episode sounds like I wrote it but no, he really says that

And I like that it's Wizard Kelly who does it: they don't invent a white boogie man or have the teacher from before sick the cops on them or pull a karen. They have someone whose black himself simply sick the system on chidlren because the lie he's kept is more convient to his pocket than the truth. It shows how the system is inherently racist to the point it benefits the rich of any race to buy into it instead of fight it. It also helps Wizard Kelly is genuinely awful and him sicking police on children sounds like something he'd do because they stepped on his lawn or something.

Seeing these children swarmed by faceless goons really sells just how.. horrirfyign the police can be, how they don't care about age or diffrence just abotu enforcing whatever someone tells them to enforce. The facelessness ot me shows regradless of color, though i'm sure that color is mostly white, the system itself is designed to opress instead of help. The kids parents and even Barry and Sunset despite being cops themselves get swept under and everyone ends up in prison.

We get a truly heartwrenching scene and props to Zachary Quinto for his delivery: Barry admits he was wrong and it was just hard to admit adn dosen't expect his daughter to forgive him, but apologizes. It's what we all should do when confrotned with something like this: accept the truth, and deal with it like an adult. Given several people's responses to JUST the "slaves built this country" segment alone was

It's clear it's a lesson that BADLY needed to be said. The right path.. is almost never the easy one. But Barry took it and his daugher warmly accepts her dad back. We also get a brave action as our heroes choose to remain in prison till shit changes.

So one month later, though I assume Wizard Kelly kept them in there like. .a week at most, things have changed and the town has been renamed to emily ville with Maya reading her diary and fear.. and us finding out that unlike dying as was implied earlier (a bold move in itself) she lived a long happy life and her kids are there. It's a touching end that shows we still have a ways to go.. but we CAN change things to make it better as Maya and her dads watch emily, now as she was when she died head back into the great beyond.. and also have a lot of questions now they know ghosts are real but that's for next season.

I loved this episode.

Yeah shocking I know, but it was beauitfully done, nuanced and a true triumph. It has convinced me to watch the rest of (or at least most of) season 2, and is worth your time this black history month. Both episodes are.. but it's clear with the restraints gone this is what the proud family crew was capable of and it is glorious. Check this one out asap. And as you can see… Proud Family was always woke and always shoudl be and if they keep pulling out home runs like this it might become one of the best shows of two diffrent generations. We'll have to see but honestly, I can say it left me wanting more and more.. and that ain't bad at all. Thanks for reading

[seafoamchild]

the months are flying by. it's still grey and windy here. snow the other day, five inches! rain, slush, damp. i can't wait for everything to bloom.

i went to florida with T. it was wonderful. we went snorkeling, kayaking, ate a lot of seafood, drove around the keys, went on a sunset cruise, went to the aquarium and the turtle hospital and the bird sanctuary. we played cribbage. i went skydiving. then in miami we ate more delicious food, went to museums, and then to an exclusive rooftop DJ event. went to the beach at night when the moon was half full and the soft ocean waves were gentle. the lights of the city glimmering against the night sky behind us.

this was one of my favorite trips. the easiness of it all, the shared wonder at everything we learned. the slightly drunken conversations over a double tequila soda on a dive bar patio at night. the morning espresso fix from the coffee shop with two cats. making up stories about the fish at the aquarium. tripping at the art museum. making fun of each other for being directionally challenged. spotting birds and trying to identify them.

i think i've been trying to find reasons why it won't work out with T because i'm just afraid. relationships have never worked out for me, and they've always been really intense and really codependent and ultimately really painful and damaging and leaving me full of regret. i'm scared at the thought of hanging on for too long again, breaking up when it becomes completely unbearable, and then losing all hope of maintaining a friendship. i've done that dance five times now and it's so horrible.

with T something feels different though. i don't feel anxious when we're not in continuous contact. i don't count the minutes it takes him to text back. i feel calm. i know he wants to see me as much as i want to see him. i'm not constantly questioning how much he actually likes me, i just know that he does. and he shows up for me in so many ways - he helped me tape plastic over my stupid car window in the pouring rain, he let me borrow his car when it was snowing, he buys me vegan snacks when i tell him i'm giving up animal products. he tells me not to apologize for my feelings and validates me when i'm upset. he assures me he thinks i look amazing the way i am, but if i really want to lose weight he'll support me as long as i'm doing it in a healthy way. he holds my hand and tells me it's going to be okay when i'm freaking out. he owns up to all of his mistakes. he cares about my friends and asks how they're doing.

of course i'm still planning on leaving wisconsin this summer and i'm dead set on that. he says he just wants me to be happy and he doesn't want me to get anxious over what's going to happen with our relationship, that he's enjoying the time we have right now. i never imagined that love could feel this sweet, this easy. i'm realizing that i may not know what i truly need - i had a tendency to think it was someone who had also traveled the world, who had a bunch of cool hobbies, who had some kind of cool job. but i think it's making sense to me now. that what i really need is someone who's loving, patient, gentle, kind, and willing to try it all with me. i don't need someone who already has the same hobbies and interests and experiences as me - i need someone who wants to do things together in the future. the most important thing is that we're on the same team and that we have each other's happiness in mind.

i don't know what will happen over the next several months, but for some reason i feel at peace with that.

Veronica Sawyer dating someone who's transmasc

A/N: here's my obligatory queer content for pride month lol (if you want me to write some other hcs/fics for pride month just lemme know <3) this is kind of a mix between the 80s and present time, just a heads up

Warnings: transphobia, brief mention of slurs (they're aren't typed out, just referred to), brief mention of being attacked/hate crimed, swearing, the Heathers are very supportive allies (they're probably way out of character but I honestly don't even care), brief mention of menstrual cycles/periods

Veronica's the most chill person around, so she'd be really supportive and pretty cool with it

You were pretty good friends before you came out to her, but after you did it made the two of you even closer

When you came out, she waited patiently and listened to you as you told her who you were and how you felt

Obviously, you were extremely nervous over how she'd react; but she just gave you a smile and said she was glad you felt comfortable and safe enough to tell her

She confessed that she actually had a crush on you, to which you replied that you felt the same

The two of you started going steady after that

Veronica's parents don't really mind that you're trans, they're just happy their daughter found someone who loves her and treats her right

You guys face a lot of opposition from both teachers as well as students

Its often difficult to even walk down the halls at school together, as there are many who take to calling the two of you slurs

As big of a bitch as Heather Chandler may be, she's actually somewhat sensitive to your relationship, and she'll absolutely annihilate anyone who she hears talking shit about the two of you

Honestly, all of the Heathers have pretty much accepted you as part of their little group, and will protect you if someone tries to attack you, whether it be physically or verbally

Veronica does her best to make you feel better on days where you feel dysphoric, especially if you also happen to be on your period

If you own a binder, she'll check up on you to make sure you're not wearing it for too long, and if you don't, she makes sure you don't try to use any damaging methods to bind, such as ace bandages

Veronica my love: are you making sure you're binding properly??

You: <read by 3:42 PM>

Veronica my love: I know you saw my message. Just be safe, okay? 💙

Whenever people misgender you, she always corrects them, whether it be on accident or on purpose

Speaking of which, if you have parents or any family members that are transphobic, she'll literally prepare a whole ass lecture on how stupid they are for thinking that if she ever has to see them in person

She always validates you whenever you feel like you don't present masculine enough, especially if you're gender non-conforming or smth like that

"Are you sure I pass well? I mean, I do paint my nails and wear makeup every now and then. Some people might think I'm a girl"

"Of course you do! And if people assume you're a girl just because you like to present feminine every now and then, they're stupid, okay? Don't listen to what other people think of you, especially when they don't even know you"

If you feel comfortable with it, then she'll totally go to a pride parade with you, and if not, then she'll just stay home with you and chill. Whatever makes you comfortable

Overall, I'd say you made a pretty good decision when it came to both telling her you're trans and asking her out

The Promise Ring & Kids In America

My thing about the J/L and E/D breakups is that I see both sides.

J: We're gonna be apart for nine months. Long distance relationships are hard. I don't want to put us through that.

L: So that's it? We're not even gonna try?

Jay is understandably scared of long distance and knows there’s a chance they won’t make it so instead he just takes the easy way out. But in the end, thanks to Kitty, he realizes that he won’t know what’ll happen unless they try. That if he just gave up, he’ll just end up wondering what could’ve been. And honestly, that’s a really shitty feeling.

Leia, on the other hand, thinks it’ll work if they just gave it a try. That being in love is enough. Her dialogue with Nate just proves that belief:

L: Well, thanks for telling me all this, Nate. It's nice to know there's another hopeless romantic out there.

N (chuckles): Yeah. I mean, what's more powerful than love? Maybe lightning. But that's it.

L: Right. If two people are meant to be, then they can survive anything.

Neither pov is wrong. Jay and Leia both have different views on their relationship and that’s fine. Leia’s reaction when finding out about Jay wanting to break up is valid. Like just a few minutes ago, they were all happy and then the news just springs out.

Similar to Jay, Donna knows there’s a chance that Eric may not be in her future. And her doubts are understandable, because they’re only teenagers. They don’t know what’ll happen in the end. There might be a chance that they might not be together in the end. And she sees having that belief as a possible stepping stone to failure.

Donna: I don't know…not always…I mean, it's not like there's anyone else, but, sometimes I'm…by myself. I mean, all I mean is, I don't know! Neither of us does! And this ring is just a stupid high school promise. If we're meant to be together, then…we'll end up together!

And like Leia, Eric believes they’ll be able to make it in the end. That if they stay together and work hard at their relationship, they will stay together.

Eric: No! The way we end up together is by saying we'll be together and then…being together!

Donna: Eric, come on! We're together now! Isn't that enough?

Eric: No! I mean….I mean, Damn, Donna! If you can see a future for yourself without me, and that doesn't, like, break your heart, then, I, we're not doing what I thought we were doing here. And you know what? Maybe we shouldn't be together at all.

Eric’s hurt is completely understandable. Someone who he sees as the love of his life is saying that there might be a chance that he might not be in her future. But what he’s wrong about is that it won’t break Donna’s heart. To me, it seems like the thought of Eric not being there does break her heart. But at the same time, Donna knows there’s a chance they won’t be together forever. That if she only had that belief and things didn’t work, she’d be crushed. So she was just trying to prepare for all the outcomes.

Basically both these breakup scenes are nuanced and complex and to take Leia & Eric’s side over Donna & Jay’s or vice versa is a disservice and completely diminishing everyone’s experience.

Since they wanted to confirm Yuno had an abortion. I'm gonna speak on the idea that this is her "murder".

I don't believe this is the only thing Yuno did or that it's why she's in Milgram. There's a lot of assumptions being made that don't add up when taking trial one and two into account. The blatant lie that it was an unwanted side-effect of her sex work and not the intended goal. Despite lyrics like let's reload the warmth. The imagery that alludes to a bunch of negative pregnancy tests with a positive one being the goal in her second song.

To elaborate in Tear Drop which could have a nice double meaning of crying or tearing things apart and dropping them actually. Since in English teardrop is usually a compound word meant to describe the shedding of a single tear lol. After the line "Tear drops succumb and fall." at 2:27. Yuno can be seen sitting on the bed as the beat is all that's playing while lights flash behind her. There are two bars attached to the headboard holding up the veil she rips down later. The absence of singing during this part could imply waiting for the results of a pregnancy test, a holding of breath. Having the two bars in focus could just as easily visualize Yuno's intent or desired result. Then after the wait she sheds a tear at the one lined result. If you know how to read a pregnancy test, then you know she's crying at not being pregnant but why would she do that if it was an unintended side-effect?

Well simple it wasn't.

This alone should be enough to validate being suspicious of her but coupled with the repeated imagery of her blowing up this balloon herself in her first song... Well, even if I were to put aside the fact that contraceptive exists entirely those things are still incredibly questionable. Yet it only gets worse when the line "What type of girl do you like? I want to become like that, but that's probably too hard for me." is mixed in.

But wait there's more! How can I feel so certain about this being intentional cause back in trial one she admitted it was. At 0:56 she says, "I want to be with you as many times as I can." Then the image quickly changes over to her clutching the balloon. At 1:45 she says "Even this makes you happy right? I know you will respond that way." Then grips the balloon again. Right after she grips the balloon at 1:50 of Umbilical she ecstatically proclaims, "Just the two of us I finally found it." Before saying "The lies are endless. Just me alone, it really is lonely. Let's reload the warmth." Then goes into saying how she messed up and found out and only after that does she pop the balloon which she'd been clinging to this entire time.

Despite us seeing her pop the balloon at 2:28 it's still intact and full when Yuno is going up the steps again after. Then she falls and grabs a new empty one. Weirdly enough right before asking "Are we over? Please don't answer. What do you want to do? Please tell me." As though she's discussing her pregnancy with another party. All this along with the line attributed to her in undercover being "I can feel the emptiness inside we agreed to seek each other I wish we could do something about it."

Gives me the impression that from the beginning the murder Yuno was involved in was that of one of her clients or someone who she wanted the attention of. Attention she tried to secure permanently through entrapping them within a relationship using a pregnancy. Her clutching onto the balloon repeatedly in umbilical to me is representative of her clinging to the idea of this pregnancy to prolong or make some more out of whatever relationship she's engaging in. Yet, this failed for one reason or another. Which led to the stated abortion and murder of the one she was seeking warmth from. She may have even done it multiple times given lines like "Desire, bestow, and desire again the episode reloading on an endless loop."

The reason I wasn't messing around with the stupidity of the idea of her murder being abortion is not just because of all this information. It was mostly because that's an incredibly weird angle to take on that topic. That did not instill faith in the writing direction of this series in me. The mere implication that it could be this delegitimizes the rest of Milgram by proxy in my eyes.

My immediate reaction to the idea of that being why she's here is to go okay well all of Milgram is stupid and everyone should be forgiven. Not just her. Cause confirming it could be that in any capacity even if Yuno could just be lying blatantly or through omission is still pretty telling of the writing we can see going forward.

Sure, it's stated the prisoners can lie in their interrogation and it's up to us to figure out what they really did. Moreover, outside of the list of reasons I just gave it's incredibly suspicious that Yuno would be the only one here for that particular thing. When we know in not so ambiguous terms everyone outside of her has murdered people. So, deductive reasoning would say that if she's the only outlier in that then she's lying.

This isn't about that aspect of it. However, the overall handling of abortion and how the concept is treated in the narrative. Which was to say well it's legally acceptable by law in Japan, but Milgram is not the law and is it ethically/morally right just because it's accepted legally. It's my bias but bringing up the ethics/morals surrounding the personal choice of having an abortion to me is a red flag from most media. So, I have zero faith in how other narrative points will be handled moving forward given the handling of this.

Like there was already some pseudo-possession crap alluded to with Amane at the beginning of this trial. I'm also just the type to be like regardless of if I know what they did or not if they weren't caught it's one hundred percent not my business at that point. The fact that Milgram is punishing Yuno for something that is not a crime, or even comparable to murder literally made me go okay whelp this entire thing is a are you a judgmental snitch dilemma.

What if they do it again? Not my business or problem. Their victims though? They ain't getting any deader what's your point. The morals behind the act. They could've done this because they just felt like it and that would not make it anywhere close to registering as something that's my business. Isn't it cold, cruel, unempathetic to go since it didn't happen to me it's not my problem what does that say about you?

I don't know what does it say about a group of people who can only decide on guilt or innocence dependent on how closely the individual in question aligns to their morals? Once more what does it say about a group of people who can only forgive someone for that reason as well. Seems like the ground most Milgram fans are standing on is close to crumbling at best. So, let's not play games. Turning Yuno's trial into a political debate and saying things like you must be pro-life or a misogynist to vote her guilty is asinine. Because she is incredibly suspicious for a myriad of other fucking reasons.

In conclusion just say you think she's hot and stop using such an incredibly serious topic to morally grandstand. It is simply more respectable to do that than whatever the fuck this is.

Ofmd season 2 Finale rant (BIG Spoilers and big feelings)

I don't think I'd go so far to damn the writing of the show or even be mad at the writers. I understand there were some budget cuts and it's understandable that things didn't feel right/felt rushed because of that. But emotionally, to me (who is a mentality ill softy), Izzy's death hit so so so bad. I identified so closely with this character and the direction they were going with him seemed to invite viewers to get attached (which may have been the point but that's kinda cheap). As this season went on, I was thrilled to see that stupid asshole be happy! The idea that even if you're a nightmare, even if you've been a bad friend or partner, you can change, you may not 'deserve' love and care but there will still be those who will love and care for you, and it's your responsibility to rise to the occasion and be a better man for them, for your family, for your community, for your crew, that everyone can find self-love and acceptance for being their true self. I was so invested in this narrative that the final episode hit me out of nowhere hard. Izzy dies, telling his closest friend to let him die, that Ed doesn't need him, he's sorry for all he did, etc. I get that this is good for Ed's character development but in that moment, it hit like a suicide note to me, like dead ass things I've thought or said during a really suicidal moment (and it especially hits that way because of everything he's lived through, and all the near death experiences everyone has survived, it's like he chose to die). And everyone is just staring at him, no reactions, Ed is upset but honestly kinda calm for someone losing his very long term friend. Like I understand they had a really challenging and toxic relationship, but like that's a man who was devoted to you for a long time, a man whose taking the full responsibility for his part in things and has been growing, a man who you literally disabled but is still apologizing to you on his deathbed!!! Just the underwhelming reaction from every character hit so fucking bad, like a real 'no one will mourn you' or 'so anyway' moment. And then everyone is happy, there's a wedding, Ed and Stede get their Inn, celebration all around. The juxtaposition of these two scenes almost feels like we're celebrating Izzy's death, which felt super icky as someone who thought he was really bonding with the crew, it felt like he was still unloved, uncared for, still an outcast. I mean maybe I'm just a crazy little Izzy stan but I was really thinking they were gonna maybe give him a love interest or maybe when he sees that Ed is no longer Blackbeard, he realizes he needs to find himself, that he should live his life in devotion to himself instead of a capitan. Idk, I just felt there were so many ways you could take his character, but now I just feel so very bleak and pessimistic about it all. Like (and I know this is my silly haha bpd hell brain speaking) seeing no one deeply mourn for a character you see yourself in and everyone just move on really triggered me, like more than I expected, it felt like I was seeing validation for all my worst thoughts. I know this wasn't the writers intention, I don't blame them for this interpretation, but it just sat so poorly. Cause if this is how they're going to do him, if everyone is just gonna shrug and move on, then maybe Izzy's mistrust and defenses were valid, Izzy thought no one cared about him and it felt like (in death) that was true. It throws into question all the healing, if he still dies focused on Ed, and convinced no one needs him. Thank you for listening to my emotional take 🤙 Again no hate to the creators or people who loved the finale, this is just how it hit me.

Hello, I hope you're having wonderful evening. Your stories are enormous source of happiness for me. I'm not only one who especially loves Izzy's journey. It's really satisfying to read about unhappy person having support and putting their life together. May I have kinda silly request, please? As you I think young Con was 100% dreamboat and It would be funny to see queens' reactions to for example photo of young Eddy and Izzy. If you not feel this, it's ok. :)

(hello anon! Thank you so very much! I love this request and while it's not exactly what you'd asked for, I hope you like it anyway!)

“I have a present for you.” Stede bounced eagerly across the bar to where Lucius was making a pitcher of margaritas. Not for the patrons. The bar was remarkably empty. This was purely for himself, the Swede and apparently now Stede. 

“Is it the Wallace novel you keep promising to return?” 

“No!” Stede grinned. “You’ll like this more.” 

“Okay,” he dried his hands on a dishrag. “What is it?” 

“Eddy was doing some rearranging to fit some new things and they knocked over one of their old boxes. They let me take this and you have to see it.” 

Stede slapped a photo on the bar. It was in lurid color, the softer tones faded with time. 

“Holy fucking shit,” Lucius grabbed it up. 

“I know!” Stede hopped onto one of the stools. “Amazing, isn’t it?” 

The photo had been taken in someone’s messy kitchen. There was a sink full of dishes in the left corner of the frame. There was a table, laden down with blueprints. On the right side, a man Lucius didn’t recognize was leaning over and pointing to something. 

Seated beside him was Eddy, and next to her, Izzy. They were unmistakable despite the years. Eddy’s beard wasn’t yet where it had been when they’d met, but it was already full and pitch black. Their hair hung in their face, spilling over familiar cheekbones. Their expression was unreadable under the hair, but their eyes were focused on the unknown man. 

Izzy’s eyes were on Eddy. He was in black already, a dark smudge of a t-shirt with sleeves rolled. His face was smooth, entirely free of the lines that Lucius loved to trace. There was no tattoo yet on his cheek or his neck, just the small one on his right arm. He wasn’t smiling, but there was a hint of smirk in his lips. 

Turning it over, he found Eddy’s scrawl ‘1997-Before the Big Job’.  

“So Iz was 19. Eddy was 22?” Lucius turned it back over, studying their faces. 

“Children,” Stede agreed, leaning over to look at it again. “Can you imagine?” 

“Not really. Can I take a picture of this?” 

“Go ahead,” Stede said with evident delight. “I’m going to show everyone else.” 

Lucius snapped the shot, poured himself a margarita and sat down. He texted the image to Izzy. 

 Lucius: Look what got uncovered. 

He sipped his drink as he waited for the response. It took a few minutes. 

Izzy: ask where you got that, but i already know. fucking magpie.  

Lucius: What job was it?

Izzy: fuck if i know. 

Lucius: I don’t buy that for a second. You remember everything. 

Izzy: i signed an nda 

Lucius: Like twenty years ago. No way that’s still valid. 

Izzy: maybe it is. 

Lucius: Ok fine, keep your secrets. You look cute as fuck btw. 

Izzy: i was not cute. 

Lucius: You really were. Look how floppy your hair was. Very 90s chic.

Izzy: it just did that 

Lucius: Sure. Did your sleeves roll themselves up like that too? 

Izzy: can we talk about eddy’s stupid fucking vest instead?

Lucius: No, I’m not done cooing over baby Izzy yet. 

Izzy: that’s not a baby, pup. Don’t let the skin fool you. 

Lucius studied the phone again. How riveted Izzy was on Eddy’s face, how he already held himself ready. It was hard to divine much from a single image. Lucius was probably just reading in the things he already knew. That Izzy at 19 had been depressed and furious. That Izzy at 19 was better prepared for a punch then a hug. That Izzy at 19 was a stranger he’d never met. 

With a sigh, Lucius scrolled through his camera roll and found the picture he’d taken of another photo some months ago. Bored at his mother’s house, he’d snapped it and then regretted doing that much. Except that Pete had gotten a kick out of it in the end and he figured now he owed Izzy a little. 

Lucius: Fair play, goblin. Try not to laugh your entire ass off.   

He sent the picture of fifteen year old Lucius in a stiff looking suit. He’d been trying to look cool, posed in front of their little house with his arms crossed over his chest and leaning against the wall with one foot behind him. It was a pose he’d studied from a magazine and looked great if you were a model. Less great if you were an awkward teenager with hair that stuck straight up all the time and permanent blush like all of life was out to embarrass you. 

Izzy: what was happening here 

Lucius: Homecoming dance. Mom made me go and bought me the suit.  

Izzy: thought those things were fun. you look like you’re going to cry. 

He had been about to cry was the thing. He’d forgotten, but looking at the picture again, he could recall the overwhelming thought of having to go to that stupid gym and stand there alone, pressed to a wall. The heat had prickled behind his eyes and he’d only staved it off to keep smiling for his Mom’s camera. So she wouldn’t ask. So he wouldn’t have to tell. 

Lucius: I wasn’t thrilled to go. Not exactly the belle of the ball. 

Izzy: i didn’t get to choose one. why would you pick this? 

Lucius: it was the best of a bad bunch

The phone rang in his hand, startling him. He put it to his ear, 

“Hey.” 

“That was the best one?” Izzy rasped over the line. 

“I know, hard to believe, but I used to take a real bad photo.” 

“Luc,” he said softly.  

“I don’t know what you want me to say. Are there photos of you smiling back then and meaning it?” 

“No,” Izzy conceded. “Not sure there were any of me smiling at all.” 

“What a pair,” he said dryly. “Pete has some nice ones. He and his Dad would go fishing sometimes and they’re both falling over each other to see who smiles bigger. It’s really nice.” 

“Yeah,” Izzy breathed out. “So we’ll take more new ones. I can do that.” 

Lucius covered his face with his other hand, choked up for a brief second at the very thought. 

“One of us together,” Lucius said firmly.  

“Yeah, pup. Together. Do a few of you and Pete too if you want. Whatever you want.” 

“I’d like that,” he smiled helplessly. “Fuck, I love you.” 

“Mutual derangement,” Izzy agreed and there was a laugh in his voice. 

Maybe the boys they had been didn’t know how to smile quite right, but they’d figured it out well enough now.

There's definitely nothing wrong with polite disagreement and saying different opinions are valid, but I think after a while we all get tired of being valid, because underneath there's still this undertone of "I won't call you out for saying it, just thinking it. Totally valid, though." This goes double since all you're doing is posting your personal thoughts on your blog. Sometimes you want to hear "yeah, you're not crazy, I agree, same" instead of "I disagree but you're allowed to think XYZ."

God yeah you really put it into words. I've had so many people say "I don't agree/I do agree but not with how you're expressing it- but it's valid" and I'm like yeah I know lol, I don't post my thoughts expecting everyone in the world to agree or like the way I do it, I can't please everyone and especially in this case as I'm in the minority and I have the self awareness, and I never said that people aren't allowed to feel differently to me, that's obvious.

And yeah I never understand complaints about how I talk on my own blog. If I was talking to someone else and being rude then fair but I'm not directly targeting anyone and my harshest posts are about people that were rude, insulting, and even harassed me first. It's hard not to let off steam somewhere and let your thoughts be known generally when you can't say it directly. This blog is my outlet for many feelings, positive and negative, all passionate.

And my posts aren't to put people down and make them feel bad when they're not about those that have been assholes. They're supposed to be to let my real thoughts and feelings be known in the hopes I'll find I'm not the only one when I feel so alone and alienated just seeing what the mass majority say and feel in comparison. It makes me happy when I can put some words to what others might have been thinking, so they don't feel alone in it either.

Potentially offering a new perspective to people who have seemingly made up their mind on how they feel and may or may not agree is the last of my intentions, though it's nice if they can. But it's not like I'm forcing and telling them how to feel, unlike those who come to my posts and videos to get mad at me and keep spamming me with paragraphs about why they think I'm stupid and wrong and clueless when I say I don't want to talk about it.

And yeah you're right, I can't pretend I think it's accurate and right and yeah, I do think people are wrong when looking at the facts 30+ years provided, how the Japanese version keeps this in mind and follows it more closely, and how nonsensical I truly deeply believe the direction of it went in English. It's natural that I'm going to feel that way towards takes that say otherwise, that doesn't make me automatically hostile towards anyone personally though.

When talking about the "validity" of anything, it's valid for anyone to express themselves however they feel obviously but it's just as valid for me to think it's wrong and express the different way I feel. It should work both ways but it seems a lot of people don't as they don't want to see a take they disagree with shared at all. But I don't like seeing theirs either lol, that's why I want to express myself too and maybe find people that can relate.

They're just making it all about attacking them and assuming my intentions but they don't speak for me and the audience I'm hoping to reach with my content.

Yeah the way this happens every single time I have an unpopular opinion (which I was cursed to have almost all the time apparently) stops the backlash from having any real effect. They're going to act like I'm stupid, clueless, and toxic and gatekeepy for expressing myself differently to them literally every single time, so they're just empty words at this point and clearly all they can think of to say when I say something they don't like on my own blog.

I'm glad you're finding other things to focus on and pass time while the fandom's in flames at least. Despite this drama which I do indeed keep being dragged back into by askers despite saying I was done a million times, I have been having fun working on my fucked up Eggman concepts leading up to making my upcoming fourth blog public where it'll all be gathered. And I've been getting great asks that perfectly appeal to my tastes that I'm excited to answer hehe

I am of course annoyed that people are being assholes non-stop while others have started acting like I don't exist anymore, making it feel like they just really don't give a damn about me and my content. But hey, I appreciate those that are still around and enjoy my takes and creations without having to change it to appeal to the masses in the fandom right now. I'm trying to just give up on everyone else and focus and appreciate on the good instead.
