Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.

"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."

translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"

It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!

very this

It's been a day

"I think I'm the best person to have all 3 of these because I will kill all of them Incredibly fast"

kaishin nation how are we feeling

DP AU where the ghosts all look pretty... normal. To humans.

Like humans can’t comprehend how ghosts actually look-- or maybe even what they’re doing necessarily.

Danny looks at Cujo and sees a green dog that can transform, but to a human he’s just a regular rottweiler with mood swings.

Any violence or property damage the ghosts get up to is filled in mentally by more “rational” causes. Same with general ghostly behaviors.

People going through objects? No, those objects broke, or the person stepped around it surely. Flying? They jumped high or the ground was higher than expected. Sudden disappearances? Man, that kid is good at slipping away.

Skulker’s just some gun-toting lunatic and people are constantly at ends trying to get the police to finally arrest him. No one knows why the town suddenly started attracting crazy, violent people (and animals), but they’re rolling with the punches and trying to make do.

Phantom is perceived as an actual alive child acting like a vigilante and there is so much overwhelming concern for his safety at all times. (Also confusion because he’s definitely keeping that gun-toting lunatic in line somehow???)

They’re not aware it’s Danny since he actually dresses up to disguise himself, including a domino mask and a hood.

The Fentons are convinced that their portal didn’t work as intended. They can detect the ectoplasm in the air, but they think that it’s just affected the town Mentally and that the strange happenings/people acting out are a result of ectoplasm poisoning people. They haven’t dared enter the Ghost Zone for fear of it affecting them. They’re too invested in their work to close the portal.

Sam and Tucker think Danny has lost his fucking mind and are desperately trying to get him to stop his vigilante habits before he gets himself killed. (Danny is aware they can’t see what is happening and has kept quiet about the finer details so they don’t think he’s hallucinating or something. As far as they’re concerned, the portal only shocked Danny and he was very confused for a week afterwards.)

Eventually, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz become ecto-contaminated enough from being around Danny that they start perceiving the ghosts. They each have a bit of an existential crisis as Danny starts explaining how nothing they’ve witnessed since the portal accident is as it seems.

one of the oddest arguments i've ever gotten into was like. i had agreed to give a dude a chance. we were on a first date. and he got. just. so mad. because i had told him i read about 2-5 books a week.

but he found out it was actually that i listen to 2-5 audiobooks. he was dead set on the idea - that's not reading, it's just listening. that i was lying, somehow, by implying i'd "read" the book.

language has a beautiful ability to adapt over time, particularly in the face of technology. when i "connect to the internet" i'm referencing the oldschool method of literally plugging into the internet - which i very rarely physically do. i roll down my window, which is a reference to the circular mechanical action it used to take. hell - the floppy disc remains our resolute save file icon. when i say i "ran to the store," nobody expects me to actually run - and what my version of running to the store looks like and your version are probably pretty different.

i told the guy, baffled: i look at things through glasses, that's still seeing. nobody complains i'm filtering the image.

he says: that's not the same and you know it.

i use audiobooks because i have adhd, and it makes it so i can actually focus. i am using it to help a medically diagnosed condition.

language also has a really cool ability: when we read something, our brains look at a word and make an image. when we hear a story, our brains hear a word and make an image. whether we hear it or read it - the word means the same thing, written or spoken. there is no quantifiable difference in the knowledge-encoding experience - i still happily hallucinate while i'm listening.

and i just kind of stared at him while he was telling me that "claiming" i had "actually read" a book that i had actually-listened-to was lying

and my only baffled response was like: "... are you gatekeeping the experience of... reading?"

I don't know who is responsible for the Spotify Falsettoland lyrics but why did they put bat mitzvah instead of bar mitzvah in "Round Tables, Square Tables". Like they fully transed Jason's gender. Wow. I respect the wit though I guess

I see people call Jimmy & Grian + Pearl siblings but in my head Grian and Pearl are twins and Jimmy is their childhood friend who they know super well and tease but they’re not actually siblings nor do they consider each other siblings

Y'all remember this scene in the pilot where Charlie calls Lilith and says that 'dad was right about me'? I desperately need to know what exactly he said to her because even tho the pilot is technically still canon, show Lucifer doesn't seem like the kind of guy to outright call Charlie a failure/disappointment to her face

is teru socially aware or does no one ever verbally question the things he does and says?

HE KNOWS

YES I SEE HES NOT LIKING THAT NOW

Also interesting they do use their 'feralty' as some cover. However ruins weird so we'll see if he figures that out right away or not.

UMM HELLO?? GHOSTS SPECIAL EPISODE FOR RED NOSE DAY 2023??? (source)

I'm so glad that you've translated Adrien and Griffe Noire conversation . Could you translate the conversation between Marinette and Toxinele as well?

Yes of course, I can't leave the girls in a corner!! Here you go, Anon 😊

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! If I were you, I wouldn't break the mirror! You'd risk 7 years of bad luck! Toxinelle: You think it would make a big difference? You know what, I don't have your peaceful little life. In the world I'm from, I don't have "super awesome friends who inspire me every day", or a "best friend I'd follow to the death", even less a "gentle and calm mum", or a "crush who doesn't think I'm a lame-o"! Ladybug: You read my secret diary... So you know we're the same, you and I. Toxinelle: Are you kidding? I'm the opposite of you. Everything I've known is nastiness from that horrible Chloé Bourgeois, who spent her time making me suffer until... the Supreme finally accepted to entrust me with a Miraculous, and nobody could harm me anymore. You see, we have nothing in common. Ladybug: You're wrong. Detransformation. --- Marinette: If you read my diary, then you know that everything isn't always easy, this life often hangs by a thread and... I was also very angry, I also suffered, I was also scared. And I still struggle every day with all that. You don't need magical jewelry. It's not the powers that changed my life! It's me, who changed my way of seeing myself; I'm the one who accepted to love myself, to love the world around me, and who decided that I could fix what was wrong. I'm sure that if you decide to change the way you look at yourself, at your world, you, too, can fix what's broken. Just like I fix my world each time. You have the power to fix everything. Toxinelle: I can't do that honeyed thing. Marinette: In a way, by doing it... I think you'll fix yourself, too. --- Toxinelle: Miraculous Toxinelle!
