Let us be brutally honest with ourselves and with eachother for a moment. If he weren't obese you motherfuckers would be capable of percieving evrart claires sexy sexy moral ambiguity and complex charms

#i am (lesbian) sipping him like a fine DESSERT WINE #my evidence by the way is very simple and very damning. joyce messier. there i said it. #if you guys can appreciate the fact that Joyce is a complex figure worthy of disgust yes but also worthy of empathy #despite being a venal coward facilitating acts of violence and slaughter of the organized working poor of martinaise in the name of capital #if you can understand that she is a dimensional figure while also being an embodiment of the moral apathy and cruelty if capital owners #but you cant look at evrart and see that he is (while deeply flawed and morally suspect) also a dimensional figure #on top of the fact that his motivations are eminently relatable and dare i say it baser #and his greatest failing imho is in failing to advocate for the interests of *all* the poor of martinaise #opting instead to marginalize the inhabitants of the fishing village in favor of a power grab in the interests of himself and his union #though this is imo a bit of a grey area morally. undeniably a wrong and bad thing to do but done in service of clairs political goals #to gather power to advocate for the working class against ultraliberal monoliths like wild pines and fascistic orgs like krenel #still super wrong but i can follow the moral arithmetic there tho i don't like it #but like my point is if u can see that joyce is evil and pathetic but still cool and sexy but you consider clair flatly distasteful #thats cus hes not conventionally attractive #cus he is *every bit* as dimensional and interesting as joyce and he is not nearly as politically shite even if hes interpersonally a jerk

Happy Valentine's Day! Today, I'm putting Hua Cheng in another bunch of skimpy outfits, tomorrow, who knows.

#hua cheng #san lang #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #hov #happy valentine's day #hualian #myart #the context for this is that I asked my followers on twitter to give me outfits to put hc in and that was the end result #he's very babygirl if you want my opinion #you could say I'm advocating for bottom hc rights but also look me in the eyes and tell me he wouldn't top xl dressed like this #me thinks he can do whatever he wants and if that includes wearing cut lingerie for gege then so be it

#my art #oc #mockley #anthro #my favourite of the bunch is the top right #just kidding it's the one directly in the middle. the one that looks dumb #everyone will be glad to know that there are two wood pigeons nesting in our garden at the moment #making for a total of 3 ugly as hell muppet babies that i get to look at. they always pretend not to see me as if that makes them invisible #you're fresh out of luck baby pigeons. i will be gazing upon you lovingly until you move out #one pigeon is nesting in the grapevine and scared the absolute shit out of me by bursting out when i tried to harvest my beautiful grapes #i looooove late summer/early autumn. fruit season baybeeee. freakin apples and plums and damsons and pears and grapes and greengages baybee #anyone here ever tried a greengage???? probably the best fruit in the world and no one cares about it. SICKENING. #i assume most of my followers r from america and maybe don't have greengages but you should aim to try one at least once in your life #preferably after plucking it from the tree with your own hand. and also stealing it from someone else's tree #just kidding i would never advocate scrumping haha....unless....?

Is 7 in the morning and i have a bad cold, im staying home from school and getting cuddle today.

So the ask is, headcanons about Nocorro cuddling eachother when they feel bad?

I need water.

Hope you feel better now, though I know this was a while ago. I've been saving it because I wanted to give it the proper thought and care it needed.

If we're in canon, then we know Na'vi hardly ever get sick. So this is all Spider. I think Neteyam was shadowing Jake for the day, only to show up for midday meal to find one person suspiciously missing. Kiri and Lo'ak are arguing passionately over wether an ikran can do a barrel roll like they saw a plane do in one of Norm's old movies, and Spider is no where to be found. When questioned, Kiri explains that Norm radioed to say Spider was sick so they spent the morning watching Top Gun. The topic switches pretty quickly back into if Lo'ak can do a barrel roll, and Neteyam's like "Wait wait wait, back up." Kiri says, "Exactly, a barrel roll is impractical for the rider-" and he just realizes he's not going to get shit from these two. Neteyam is too much of a goody goody to completely abandon his dad, but he does tell Tuk to tell Jake he'll be busy for the rest of the day. At least one of his siblings can hold a normal conversation.

So, he goes to Hells Gate, and a very exasperated but also very fond Norm says he said Spider was sick to keep them away, not invite them all! Neteyam finds an equally exasperated Spider sitting in his little room working on his weaving. Spider insists he's fine and he'll live and that he KNOWS today was Neteyam's day to shadow Jake, only for Neteyam to be like "You watched a new movie with Kiri and Lo'ak and not with me? 🥺"

So I think Spider would obviously pull out Top Gun again, having fallen directly into Neteyam's trap, because he always falls asleep during movies he's already seen, and now Spider is passed out on his shoulder. Also Neteyam kinda needs to know what a barrel roll is at this point.

#i have top gun on the brain #also forgive the messy stream of consciousness way this is written #i am in a different time zone and i am fucked up #but yes i'm always an advocate for quality time #when i'm sick all i want to do is be wrapped up in blankets and watch tv or movies #so i'm projecting #but i do think neteyam would be lowkey furious if he missed out on an experience #i think he and lo'ak both are so fomo coded #and neteyam misses things more so he gets more insecure about it #secretly hates when spider and his siblings are talking about something he doesn't understand #neteyam sully #miles spider socorro #spider socorro #nocorro #kiri sully #lo'ak sully #jake sully #tuktirey sully #avatar #avatar the way of water #james cameron avatar #melissa on avatar (cameron) #melissa's asks

Seriously. Where are all the trans men in video games? There's dozens of trans women and nonbinary characters in games, which are still awesome and we need more of them too, but even as someone who researches trans representation, I'm struggling to name many trans men, especially ones that play a major role in their games

#the only ones i can think of the top of my head are like #damien from dream daddy #and i think theres a trans man in omori but i dont know much about that game #this is why i advocate for trans kayn so hard on my league sideblog #trans #transgender #queer #transmasc #trans representation #trans men #trans man #video games #gaming

when you’re off of work would you please elaborate on your hannibal service top agenda,,, please my family is starving

i don’t want anyone to starve so obviously I will extrapolate on the service top aspect of Hannibal Lecter o7!! I am going to get so carried away and I apologize in advance.

Alright going to start this off by saying I do think they’re vers but only in regards to each other, I think for canon relationships, Will has a tendency to allow himself to be directed while Hannibal loves to orchestrate. With each other, though, it grows increasingly and alluringly complicated. Arguments could be made and subsequently thrown out depending on what part of the show you’re watching and post fall is an entire free-for-all because you can’t tell me two grown men survive murder-suicide via cliff and then settle into the puritanical rigidity of who tops and who bottoms.

Okay that being said, honestly i could make the case that both of them lean more toward making sure whoever they’re with is getting the most out of the encounter (maybe for different reasons; the popular trope of Will’s empathy causing a sort of blissful feedback loop and in Hannibal’s case, it stands to reason the politeness overlaps with a challenging sort of hedonism, he’s in control and playful about it) but I think that specifically for Hannibal, Will’s reactions are what he’s constantly seeking and then hoarding. Like. Will responding to stimuli that Hannibal presents is basically the premise of the show and Hannibal very clearly gets off on that, maybe not anywhere explicitly but we see shots of his pupils dilating, his gaze always caught on Will, licking his lips, all in response to Will reacting to him. It’s very rare he’s outright hungry at the beginning of a conversation or interaction, he seems to maintain a sense of aloofness until Will snarks or baits or replies or even defers and then, it’s as though he’s desperate to see more. I'm not getting into the whole them eating meals together because I'll devolve very quickly but like. just keep in mind the way Hannibal watches Will eat, as though he savors Will instead of the meal he cooked. Right. Okay. He gets caught up in Will’s responses very quickly, enraptured and almost stupid about it and trying to immediately trigger more which!! Goes hand and hand with him doing very uh lets say unique acts of service (the malewife jokes are only half jokes); the breakfasts & dinners, the driving, the caretaking. Yes all that’s manipulative but to Hannibal, that doesn’t negate that it’s still getting him the responses he wants and that’s also maybe why he’s so quick to say they’re friends because he’s viewing it as a form of relationship building and quite frankly, that is the only way that man knows how to build relationships; he sets himself up as a crutch and then breaks your leg and unfortunately at that point, for Will, for Jack, for Abigail, for Bedelia, for Chiyoh, you are too grateful to be standing that you forget he’s the reason you can’t do it on your own. The others I mentioned learn either very quickly or very (in painful irony) rudely that he is only a crutch as long as he enjoys it, as long as he can benefit from holding you aloft.

However. In Will’s case, he tries to remove himself and finds that it’s him who can’t stand and he’s immediately resentful and desperate to take back that ability, leaving another gift, another act of service, for Will to prove that he can still provide it and detrimentally putting himself on the map for Jack and Mason in the process. He’s so eager to have Will’s response, he waits at his own fucking crime scene. Will gives him what he wants and he’s too overwhelmed to respond with any sort of power or immediate selfishness, he runs again. And then. Muskrat Farms and his surrender. I feel like I don’t even need to explain why that backs up my case here, that man is so so ready to rescue and then surrender all because Will’s involved; two things he’s never done in his entire life, they essentially reduce him to this almost pathetic thing and it doesn’t give him pause at all because again, they’re acts of service whether Will wants them at that point or not. Like Bedelia said it best, he’s obsessed, he wants every reaction, every word, every sigh and curse, he’s very single-minded about getting them and he doesn’t care who he has to hurt, himself or others, to get them. Now, combine all that and the cliff scene and tell me that man doesn’t spend every second they’re in a bed together completely and utterly focused on Will and Will alone.

#NORTH UR PFP THREW ME OFF I WAS LIKE HELLO RANDOM BLOG I WILL ELABORATE YES #but also hiiiii what are you doing for the rest of your life and can it be me #haha jk....unless? #i'm literally holding so much back lmao like i didn't even touch on Will's response and manipulation of that behavior #tdlr when i write top hannibal its always going to be him makin will come like 3 times before he even remembers to get off n i stand by tha #so so sorry for this but also i am not at all and am completely correct #top hannibal can be good #theres just an overabundance of sadist/power topping which doesn't always mesh well i feel like idk #that man is hungry in every possible way for Will and when youre starved you don't stop to see if youre full you eat until you can't #but then again what do i know i am a dom Will advocate at heart #be he gentle or not #teacupmotif #asks !

trying to find a happy medium between 'keeping myself and my followers informed and educated' and 'not dousing myself in so much horrific news that i turn into a doomer' and also 'desparately not trying making this about myself and my own comfort but also knowing that my mental health doesnt exist in a vaccum and succumbing to the everything is bad forever mindset helps absolutely nobody'

#spitblaze says things #there is a lot of horrific shit happening and the palestinan genocide easily tops the list #and im aware im extremely privileged to be able to just...look away for a moment and catch my breath #but as long as i can use that caught breath to keep advocating instead of giving in to despair then. yknow #idk where im going with this. dont doomscroll. being upset and depressed doesnt help anybody #keep abreast enough to stoke your righteous indignation #keep enough breathing room for it not to mutate into hopelessness

I just randomly remembered an author that whenever they wrote tfp megop smut would basically have Optimus be like, "I remember how you used to top me/I wish you'd top me, but alas, I must top you now."

Makes me giggle a bit just thinking about it.

The fact that I'm getting the vibe I've definitely read those too, or at least a few ither authors who did it

Because it's one of the funny parts of determining role by height but also having characters that can rapidly change height

#valveplug #tfp megatron #tfp optimus prime #now we know i advocate for bottom!megatron in general because i want to top him #and I'm heavily biased #but it's kinda fucking funny #where's the ''would you still love me if i was an earth train'' reblog chain it's relevant #megop

[sastiel-is-my-serotonin]

There's a lot of stories I've been told by elders, teachers, cousins, all about what it was like to be taken away from their parents. Or at least attempted to be taken away.

Certain ones stand out the most in my mind. I used to be really involved with church, my entire family was. So we were close to our pastor.

Outside of church my mom was helping her with some things and I remember when she started to open up about her experience with boarding schools.

I sat there and listened as she talked about it. She was one of the ones who'd get in trouble for talking in her native tongue. She learned to stop because some punishments you simply didn't come back from.

She cried talking about when they cut her hair. She didn't understand why her parents were sending her away, she didn't know until she was older they had no choice.

She didn't get very far before she went inside, it all being too much and she didn't want us kids to hear the worst parts.

Even though she wasn't there anymore, she became a pastor who had incredibly short hair. She hardly spoke her language, and at that point she was one of the elders. It still affected her long after and it took me a really long time to see it. Because she was always wrapped up in native clothing, had beaded pieces. She clearly was still within her culture, there just were some parts she never returned back to.

Recently, although she talked about it when I was little too, my Mom talked to my little sister about the sweeps they'd do on reservations.

They all recognized the vans that meant every native child had to hide until nightfall, if you were caught, you weren't coming back.

You couldn't just run inside to your parents, they'd go from house to house, if you were there, they could take you and your parents couldn't do anything about it. It was legal.

All their parents could do was warn them about the vans and beg them to hide until it was safe.

Her and whoever she was with, friends, cousins, siblings, they'd stay out of sight until nightfall. The only thing protecting them was the fact that the vans couldn't be there at night.

It was a part of their normal, you see those vans, you hide and make sure they don't see you. It didn't matter if they showed up in the morning, you didn't exist until they were gone.

It's really no wonder why she still hates vans to this day, she won't buy one even though they're great to fit big families, like ours. And she's always aware of cars but vans especially.

I can't help but sit here and wonder if ICWA is overturned, are my sisters going to have their own stories to tell?

It's already bad how many Natives are taken away because of CPS, if it wasn't for my tribe helping us close the cases opened against us, I would've been. So many of my cousins were, it wasn't unusual for my Mom to open her home to them because they would run away. They knew she would help them. We all knew how bad they were treated, but we couldn't adopt them all. I think my Mom would have if she could've. But it was enough for a lot of them to just have a spot to stay, knowing someones looking out for them who won't judge them.

We need every little bit of protection even now to keep native families together. That fact that this is being attacked right now is so deliberate and Natives have been shouting for people to see that.

This is a pattern, not a coincidence. So many generations have their own stories about how native kids were taken away. Hell, my generation, we have ours! It's always a legal system that we have to fight that non natives ignore. It's a different font, but same story.

Boarding schools were legal, the reservation sweeps were legal, and CPS and foster care, again legal.

The genocide for natives never stopped, it just takes a new form. This is just the latest version. Don't stop talking about ICWA, be loud about it! Don't let them overturn it!

#Indigenous history month #ICWA #There are so many natives who have been on top of this since the beginning #Who've been trying to get people to care and be loud about why this shouldn't be happening #We need ICWA #So many people who are advocating are sharing their stories - listen to us #We know how bad it'll get - please listen before it's too late #We have the chance to stop it - please help us

I think people should be offered mental health alternatives before considering tattoos. Piercings as well. Only someone who's sick in the head would consider altering their body in such a dangerous way. Even adults should be forced to go through a two year psych evaluation before they're even presented with the option to get any kind of facial piercing.

I mean the possibility of nerve damage alone. Anyone who would be willing to undergo the risk of full facial paralysis MUST be some kind of mentally ill pervert freak.

youre being satirical but what you dont know is "is getting a tattoo a form of self harm" was a discourse on radblr a few months ago, where some people agreed that therapy should be offered before people get tattoos or at least if theyre getting a lot of them

#and i did not participate in this discourse but ARE THEY WRONG THO 😭😭 #look at frank.. man covered chin to toe in tattoos and openly admits to being a masochist. unprompted #theres something to it dhjdkskhd #and many ppl do advocate for taking tattoos and the risks they pose much more seriously... #some ppl definitely get a lot of tattoos bc of an underlying insecurity w their body.... #ultimately it comes down to how dangerous is the thing. #tattoos are not that dangerous. top surgery is more dangerous. bottom surgery is very dangerous. #the more dangerous something is the more seriously it needs to be taken and the more informed & prepared ppl need to be #ask #anonymous #sorry thay most of my reply was in tags. i got stuck here

remembering on my circa 2017 booklr I used to tell people to read Gemma Doyle by describing it as trc but with an all girls boarding school / all girl group in a historical setting… I was trying to do the lord’s work she deserved tumblr fame

#I do think that was an oversimplification of both but. Not totally off base there are some similar char tropes used I’m proud of past me for #the attempt. Also I think I’m going to start advocating for Diviners in that way now that trc fandom is apparently quite miserable post GW #you like gay people doing dream magic? you like witchcraft and ghosts and strong ensemble casts? #you like an ambitious abuse survivor getting a healing arc with learning to control magic/psychic abilities as a metaphor? you like four #book series where the first three books rock and the last book which is named king + corvid is a bit underwhelm who said that? #a positive point in diviners favor is Ling x Wei Mei >>>> RonanKavinsky. Generally find the take on dream magic in diviners more compelling #(although LingHenry + RonanHennessy both being mlm wlw duos who are the dreamers is kinda fun) #anyway. This is not actually a fair comparison because Ling is my fav or at least top two w Theta of the leads and I love Ronan but he is m #least favorite of the trc leads of which there are four all of whom I love so it says nothing bad about him. But it does put me as an #outlier re: fandom priorities.. #on the flip side while I love diviners dynamics sadly I don’t think they ever come anywhere close to Gangsey levels of extreme codependency #so I can not care quite as much…. #from what I remember the girls in Gemma Doyle are a lot more codependent good for them. Would have to reread to compare codependency levels #Ling and Theta are both my favorite in diviners in the same way Blue and Adam are my favorite in trc and Abed and Annie are both my fav for #community. basically one char who I love and overidentify with (Ling/Blue/Abed) and one char I love who in many ways I’m not like #but in a handful of very niche specific ways I also relate quite a bit. And am fascinated with (Theta/Adam/Annie) #s speaks #very off topic from my initial point which was you should read Libba Bray’s books #and in both cases I have a second and a half tier fav (Evie/Gansey/Britta) who I love fictionally but if I was trapped in a room w them I’d #kill myself. with the white blonde women I’d also want to make out w them debatable if that makes it better or worse #but like. I could not stand listening to them speak for that long I know this #Gansey might just die a third time by my hands…

My mum bought something on Vinted and the parcel came filled with little papers on which the sender had typed various messages promoting civil revolt, the sacred right of revolting, and the importance of the désobéissance civile. French people know how to protest. Protest is a casserole and a colis Vinted, too.

So while I was raking leaves today I was thinking that as much as Bakugou bullying Izuku and later redeeming himself is an integral part of canon, it could be improved upon. I’ve always been a fan of AUs where Bakugou is exactly the same personality wise but he stayed friends with Izuku and is his biggest supporter.

Basically baby Katsuki looked between his best friend in the whole wide world who just got diagnosed as quirkless and the prejudices of society and took Izuku’s side. And because this boy doesn’t do anything by halves he is so ride or die. Izuku trains his mind and body, he and Katsuki hang out constantly and make plans for their future agency, they spar together until they’re both formidable fighters. You can obviously insert canon in here which would be the same only Izuku a) starts out buff b) has a bit more confidence/self worth and c) All Might has to deal with an angry Pomeranian barking at him not to hurt Izuku 24/7. Aizawa clocks them as the class’s disaster duo within 5 seconds of meeting them and he’s not wrong but he underestimates the trouble they can get into.

Me, being me, I was playing with it today in my quirkless verse. They both get into Yuuei, Bakugou in Heroics and Izuku in Gen Ed. Katsuki would be hissing and sneering at his classmates for “stealing Deku’s spot” and it’s annoying but also kind of cute. They hear a lot about this Deku person, he’s tactically brilliant and a dirty fighter and doesn’t need a quirk to pound Katsuki into the ground. They’re shaking, imaging like a 7′ demonic beast. Only one day, the door to 1-A opens and its this sweet boy with curls and freckles and the friendliest smile like “Kacchan, you left your school books at my house again :)” And they collectively lose their shit that THIS is Deku. Then they watch him and Bakugou spar and its like, oh okay then, I am Afraid again.

Anyway, point being, I still think we could have had a compelling, interesting story if Bakugou was still his kind of douchey self but at the same time was Izuku’s best friend and biggest hype man.

#basically i took my favorite part of MGM and pasted it on top of TLWA #I just finished a 22k fic I can have self indulgent AUs while raking #I'm craving some Bakugou and Izuku are good friends content and cant find ittttt #like sure post redemption bakugou okay but what about one where they stayed friends #where even when it was Hard Katsuki wouldn't let Izuku go #even with a quirkless diagnosis he wanted so badly to be a hero with his bestie #that he does everything to encouarge Izuku not to give up #if its canon OFA changes everything bc before Katsuki thought it would brain and brawn but now Deku is more powerful than him #Hes so happy but also still needs to do some growth on his own superiority complex #if its TLWA he's Izuku's biggest advocate to transfer #he literally harasses Aizawa constantly about it drags Izuku to class activities all the time #From there its just training until they graduate and form their agency just like they said they always would #idk man #I spent a lot of time in bakus head recently #I want him to be an aggressive neurotic a little bit of asshole but still good friend
