#why can't it be over already

[tomboyfriends]

also i think i prefer "desisted" to "desister". desisting is more or less a one and done deal. "desister" sounds like i'm constantly struggling with it and am having some weird on and off fling with acting like someone i'm not. also not a fan of detrans/desisted people saying they're "presenting" as "female" or "ftmtf" when the former isn't a matter of presentation and the latter isn't a thing. for me desisting was giving up on the crazy notion that i have to play along with gender at all. when it's all a made up fantasy to prop up male humans above women and girls.

when i'm barefaced and braless i'm not "not presenting female" and i'm not "masculine" either. i am female. that will be a part of me. forever. and i'm happy with that. and even if i like being called a boyfriend (usually hot goth tomboyfriend/tomboy girlfriend) or being called a guy in a funsy way, it's nothing more than that. because i'm literally just some woman. playing pretend. trying to have a little fun in life. i really wish everyone female would stop bowing to gender in some way. whether it's the one woman caked in makeup, or another shorthaired woman wearing a snapback and listing wacky pronouns in her dating bio. or the detransitioned/ing woman saying she's "presenting female" and forcing herself into femininity when it doesn't have anything to do with being female in the first place.

gender is nothing. it is a message to women to shut up and eliminate our female individuality. why are we pretending it's fun to "explore gender" and "play with gender". it's literally just misogyny/sex-based oppression. sidenote: and why is this all on the HER app. why am i seeing all this shit there when it's supposed to be the damn female hookup app. i mean i haven't been on there in years but i remember what it was like on there. and then a man got the account banned on twitter because he couldn't stop being a rape-advocating TIM, so that's lovely.

#desisted #desister #detrans #detransition #gnc #ok xavery #ugh i'm just so frustrated with it all #why can't it be over already #i'm tired of being the only one who ever says anything #or even tries to do something #even if i barely can

something about weiss continuously being so tired of blake and yang dancing around their feelings and refusing to ever communicate makes me laugh so hard.

she was genuinely so done with them it's so funny

like this girl was STRUGGLING; she was calling them both out on their gay bullshit and there was no one more relieved than she was when they got together.

actually, wait i think it's funnier to believe that she's initially relieved like 'oh thank god this is finally over' and then it just dawns on her that now that they've worked through their feelings and are officially together, she's just in for more gay bs.

#rwby #rwby volume 7 #ruby rose #weiss schnee #blake belladonna #yang xiao long #bumbleby #rwby bumbleby #rwby shitpost #weiss schnee deserves financial recompensation #girl is TIRED #she's dealt with this for too long now #also #i do hc her as like a useless lesbian #so i think it just makes the situation funnier #that she's over here judging blake and yang wholeheartedly yk #always being like oh my god why can't they just get together already #and then there's her and ruby in the corner like #love her sm honestly

I understand intellectually just how ludicrously convenient, not to say integral, transporter technology is for the fully automated luxury gay space communism functioning of the star trek universe. but I do somehow feel that there should be more attention paid in-universe to the fact that when you step into one of those things you are playing russian roulette with your immortal soul. we should at least see some people do the sign of the cross or something before they step into one. it probably goes under the 'flying is actually statistically safer than driving' category of thing, I'll acknowledge, but the worst a plane (or spaceship) can ultimately do is crash and kill you. when the transporter malfunctions it will straight up divide the universe by zero and make you an evil twin while it's at it

#I simply think a system that means you can be downloaded to quark's holosuites at the mistimed flicker of an atom #probably would be regarded with a bit more awe and tremor. is all #the transporter is a capricious god that demands o'brien's attention and suffering as its sacrifice #star trek #star trek ds9 #ds9 #i'm a trek noob but already I am like 'why does ANYONE dare to use these things it's the greatest threat to galactic security' #in 'past tense' they literally oopsie delete all of starfleet for a hot minute!!! hello!!!!! can anyone hear me!!!!! #I'm sure people have been talking about this since the sixties but I can't get over it

guys I felt genuine fear in my stomach while reading this tweet...

I am so sad that larian doesn't even own the fucking characters they made! fml #I haven't been interested in any of my hobbies in the past decade... bg3 helped me regain some of that joy #but this will be also screwed soon... it's already happening... how great #I understand why they are moving away from bg3... and I didn't expect any new content or dlc or anything like that #but I didn't expect that the characters will be handed over to WOTC ... that is horrible #my post #my posts #bg3 mine #larian studios #current events #giving me doomsday feelings ... but I already had doomsday feelings from the war getting worse nearby... #I guess if russia kills us all I won't have to feel sad about how all my favourite stories are ruined... oh well #apparently my mom is stocking up on food as if a bag of rice could save her if they drop an atomic lol #negativity posting #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #wizards of the coast #twitter

[humandisorderincarnatedean]

it's not like dean ever asked anything like 'fluffy family time at mary's expense' of his mother when she came back. that's a fabrication (by both the show and the fandom)

#he said 'why can't you just be a mom?' yeah because she /chose to work with her son's torturers and it got someone killed/????? #he already had a parent who consistently chose a hunting lifestyle in search of closure over just fucking making decent decisions #he does not need another one #text

[lord-squiggletits]

The funny thing about Pharma and the Delphi situation is that that's where the concept of the DJD was first introduced (with the first scene with the DJD at work happening literally the issue afterwards, issue #6) and literally the more you learn about the DJD the more it vindicates Pharma in his paranoia and being convinced that he couldn't ask for help like

In the Delphi issues we learn that the DJD hunts down Decepticon turncoats/traitors/etc and that Ambulon, one of the Delphi staff, was a Decepticon traitor. We also learn that their leader is evidently terrifying in addition to being a t-cog addict, but that's it.

Except in the subsequent issue #6 and all issues with the DJD afterwards, we learn a variety of fun facts about the DJD such as

Several of the members either literally transform into torture equipment or have said torture equipment built into their bodies

Their leader, Tarn, the guy with the t-cog addiction that forced Pharma into blackmail, can kill people with just his VOICE

We later learn that the DJD have a fanatical devotion to the Decepticon cause/Megatron such that they literally worship an idol of Megatron

Even later on, we learn that Tarn's kill-you-with-his-voice powers work both over the phone and via recordings of his voice

Tarn is also very talkative during torture sessions and he seems to find pleasure in his stupid, smug-smart guy persona where he likes to describe to victims what's happening to them and why. And there's no reason he wouldn't apply this to Autobots just as much as he does to Decepticon traitors

The DJD have access to signal jamming technologies that make it so that even if their victim can get a help signal out, no one will receive it until weeks after the fact

Their entire system of hunting people down is based on pursuing them no matter what, isolating them from any help, driving them mad with psychological terror, etc

They're capable enough warriors to slaughter an entire ships' worth of people, apparently without sustaining any meaningful casualties

They're drug addicts that are prone to overdosing and/or losing control and slaughtering people while they're under the influence

So like???

If Pharma was only privy to HALF of the things that we as the audience know about the DJD, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that Pharma probably wanted to call for help at some point, but was convinced that doing so would lead to 1. the signal being jammed/blocked so no one would help anyways 2. him and everyone else at Delphi (including the TRAITOR WHO IS ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES) would be horribly tortured to death by fanatical Decepticon torturer freaks.

Like I get that in the text Pharma only says that he did the Red Rust stuff so that he wouldn't be caught/blamed for the t-cog deal and is prideful about how he stopped the DJD from murdering Delphi, but like...... there's no fucking way that Pharma going "oh I didn't want to get in trouble and also I'm better than everyone" was his PRIMARY reason for everything on Delphi. Pharma didn't go from perfectly normal/sane Autobot doctor to raving egotistical maniac because he was always an asshole and he decided to solve the DJD issue in an asshole way. It's bc according to all canon evidence we have of the DJD and the way they react to traitors/Autobots, Pharma had every reason to fear for his life and believe that no aid would come to him.

#not to mention that fucking uhhhh it was BLACKMAIL??? #generally when BLACKMAIL happens the whole deal is 'you give me this thing and i don't kill you' #'but also if you go running for help i'll kill you' #or 'you can't call the authorities for help bc you're doing illegal things for me so theyll just arrest you' #squiggposting #pharma apologism #mfs wanna say 'pharma could've just ran or called for help' when the DJD are literally famous #for their ability to hunt people down and murder them horribly #remember when the lost light was getting hunted down by the DJD and they called for help? #remember how it took 3 weeks for anyone to get the SOS and by then everything was already over? #also it's reasonable to think that like pharma was just giving spare tcogs to tarn without having to kill anyone at first #figuring it's just extra supplies to order and it's a small price to pay for delphi not getting horribly murdered #and it was only later that he had to actually start killing people #and by then tarn could've easily hit him with 'you could run and ask for help but then they're going to ask you' #'why you were giving tcogs to a decepticon in the first place. have fun being a traitor for that' #and then there was you know. the paranoia and constant anxiety and trauma from being next door to the DJD

I've mostly been joking, but as someone who is like. a bit obsessive about canon and also has had huge phases of really really loving Dean Winchester I do miss people who understand and care about him rather than some guy they made up. like he's sooooooo

#like i suppose the thing about dean is if you cant admit he abuses sam then you already dont understand either of them LMAO #so it's like. dean girls who need dean to be. not that. are going to have to play around already with it. #but like. that doesnt mean hes such a good character a lot of the time. that doesnt mean hes not rich and compelling in many ways #why can't you guys let the real dean winchester into your hearts #i cant be the voice of it now. when i got to s11 on my rewatch the sam stan in me took over and i became a monster etc #incoherents #spn #supernatural #dean #dean winchester #wank cw

Some people have been saying that live action Sanji feels a little bit more soft and endearing than manga Sanji, but they can't pinpoint why because he does still feel like Sanji. Some people think it's just Taz's acting, and he does do a great job, but I don't think that's the main reason. Others think his flirting has been turned down a bit, but honestly it hasn't really? He still openly flirts with Nami when they first meet, and he still says things like "women are a mystery to be unraveled" and other goofy simp stuff. And his kindness like being willing to feed the hungry no matter what is obviously something that was always there (it's why Luffy chose him in the first place. Hell, in the manga he chooses Sanji as his cook before he ever actually tastes Sanji's cooking, simply because he sees Sanji feed Gin and realizes what kind of person Sanji is).

But there is a difference! And I've figured out what it is, because there IS one manga/anime Sanji trait that wasn't present in live action Sanji: his hatred of men.

Live action Sanji isn't a misandrist anymore 😳

#One piece #OPLA #OPLA spoilers #Obviously it was played for jokes he wasn't like actively cruel towards men and was kind to them too #Like feeding them if they were starving #And he obviously cared about his friends #He was misandrist is a silly cartoonish way #But it did highlight the way he treated women differently from men and made his flirting and simping come across as way more over the top #In comparison to how he behaved towards women #And I think it was a smart choice because English speaking audiences are especially sensitive to that sort of thing these days #I think the only other thing that gives him a slightly different vibe #is live action can't give him heart eyes or have him do the wiggling stuff lol #So his simping feels toned down even though technically he simps a similar amount as in canon #I do think it's funny how some fans like him better in live action because of this on tumblr dot com aka the OG man hating website #Like fans who are caught up understand WHY he's hostile towards men compared to women in canon (see: WCI) #but I don't mind them leaving it out in the live action #And it isn't like an integral key to who he is as a person/character #People who were already Sanji fans knew he was their problematic little meow meow #But it's nice that live action can showcase his kind and soft side a bit more #Like that stuff is already there in canon but he's a little more tsundere about it y'know? Lol

[determunition]

Hi so I’ve curious, (Been nervous about starting my own AU) When you first started posting OFH (on twitter/ao3) how did you get the courage to post it? Were you ever afraid of getting called ‘cringe’ or ‘weird’ or anything else negative? If so how were you able to get over it? (Btw I do love this AU with all my heart!) Sorry if any of these questions are too sensitive!

hi!! thanks for the questions, i'm flattered to be considered a source of wisdom about this x3

OFH/retyrement, like most fandom things i do, started as kind of a silly shitpost thing; i love human AUs, and when my buddy squid_hug made that original text post about the retirement home it tickled me too much to ignore. objectively the scrybes being human old people bickering in a retirement home is a goofy, silly idea, and that's how it started as an AU, down to the written fic. i think that in itself made it a bit easier to post about

however! even with that, when i started posting the first pieces of art it was definitely a "do it scared" situation lmao; i don't remember where i heard this, but in some cases it takes even more courage to do something new when you're already known for something than it does to start something new with no presence at all, and that was definitely true with the retyrement AU. it was my first contribution to the fandom too! i was definitely worried it wouldn't go over well with anyone bc it was so damn niche lolol

my main piece of advice for getting over this fear (besides just doing it scared until you're not scared anymore) is to get yourself a hype squad lmao; though maybe the more accurate term would be a mutual AU ecosystem. i had squid to develop a lot of the AU with me at the start and we bounced a lot of silly ideas off of each other, and now i have a lot more folks around to crack jokes and hype each other up about our art and fics! also at the beginning i had a point where i was feeling a little self-conscious about continuing to post (the AU had a painfully small amount of engagement at the beginning lol), but as soon as i got one (1) ask saying "i wanna see more of this" i took that as my green light to get as silly with it as possible lmao

so ig my TL;DR advice is: don't take shit too seriously, remember it's all in good fun, and surround yourself with folks who enjoy funny lil AUs as much as you do! the second thing can be hard, as it involves uh, putting yourself out there in the first place, but embracing that discomfort is a necessary evil for having a good-ass time! if you can successfully kill the part of yourself that cringes then you'll never be cringe again

godspeed on your own AU endeavors, the digital world is always better for having another crazy creative alternate universe in it <3

#doot answers #retyrement au #didn't want to make an already long post even longer but #i'm also not on twitter lmao #idk what it's like over there but #i feel like the climate here on tumblr is a lot more cozy for silly AUs in general #i can't recall getting a single negative comment about the AU as long as i've been posting about it here #and the fact that it's tumblr is probably why lol #cringe is way more dead here than anywhere else on the internet methinks #also let this be a lesson to potential AU audiences as well #if you like someone's AU #drop some sick tags or a funny lil ask about how much you like it #people being interested in my stuff truly does make my world go round #and i have zero doubt that my silly AU brethren would say the same
