So what'd I like about Pokemon Scarlet?
Quaxly is a good boy. 10/10. Kind of weird that they made a starter a single stage evolution though. His name is Athos and he will be the best Musketeer one day.
Love my bicycle boys. Good good lizard mounts. They can stay forever. One day I might buy me a plush of them. The cyclizar is named Rizzo and taking this picture was so fucking difficult. I miss ffxiv's gpose.
I caught a shiny! I have spent many hours through out the years shiny hunting and the only times I've found them is when I haven't been looking for them.
Big fan of the megas-man. Mine is named Aramis and she is the most powerful cannoneer in Paldea. She is the only mon that has stayed in my party since capture.
So I was fighting one of the Titans: the False Dragon Titan and I was way under leveled and all my other pokemon had fainted and it was just me and Pockets here. Pockets held the fucking line, tanked two hits that should have fainted her in a row, paralyzed the Titan, and pulled out a clutch crit for the win. The power of friendship saved the day and despite having a mid design, I couldn't bring myself to abandon my Reliable Partner. (Which she earned almost immediately after that fight so my hc is that that's how she earned it.)
Sorry the pic is rotated but this is my Poison Tera type Goodra. Her name is Ophelia and she exists to ruin Fairy Types days.
I really love these little candles? I wish they had been a bigger feature of this city's gym. I was really expecting I'd be going around using the candles as clues to some kind of puzzle.
I dont have any relevant pics for the rest of these but the Falling Rocks Titan or whatever its called was another skin of my teeth battle. I was really excited to have some difficult moments in a pokemon game. I felt very clever and talented after Athos and I eeked out a win.
I enjoyed Arven's plot line. Probably the most compelling story line in the whole game. I hesitate to describe it as an arc because I'm not sure how much he grows, but I was invested in his problems enough that I prioritized finishing his quests first.
I like the concept behind tatsugiri and dondozo, though it seems odd to include in the game considering how rare double battles are.
I liked the Ruinous Artifacts side story a lot. The pokedex entry for the tablets friend I think is very telling and I was surprised they didn't carry that theme through the others in the set. Either way, I enjoyed hunting down the stakes. Finally gave me a reason to explore.
I liked a lot of the character designs. Rika is stellar and she just oozes gender. I like how many buff ladies are in this game. Eri is an icon but I'm not sure of what she is. So much of the cast as such big trans energy that my official verdict is Eri is cis just for how gender non-compliant she is. Truly there has never been a more gendered pokemon game.
My favourite teacher was Mr. Hassel. I had a lot of fun in his class. Sure isn't as visually appealing as, say, Ms Raifort or Mr Saguaro, but I have done enough school to know the best teachers are usually strange little book creatures who thrive on obscure content area trivia. Will take Mr Hassel's class until I run out of hours in my degree plan.

i understand that my tastes are not everyone's and this is just me complaining about a pet peeve of mine, not fandom crit, do whatever you want! but disclaimers aside as a queer adult who didn't really have sexuality or gender crises (this is NOT me trying to denigrate those experiences, they just were not my own) i do not care for fanworks about queer awakenings at all. they're always poorly done and heavy handed and weird attempts at generalizing that just ring entirely false for me. and if they match up with the cc's identities they always feel either weirdly speculative or just completely inaccurate and logistically strange. why would a queer man in his twenties whose clearly known he's into guys for years have a sexuality crisis upon being into a man on quesadilla island (where literally every other character is also queer, which is almost always the case in mcrp for reasons ive discussed a thousand times) what the fuck are you talking about???? i just don't get the obsession with them and find them annoying and overdone. there are plenty of ways to write about queerness in fic without doing this kind of stuff and it's just odd to me that this kind of thing happens so much.
i know these fics like. aren't for me they're usually written for and by queer teenagers/younger people than myself who are still trying to figure stuff out but i don't love the way people generalize about certain queer experiences online and they often feel like an extension of that. also of the kind of harvey milk-esque "we must throw the closet doors open"/"everyone has a coming out moment" thing which is just. not accurate and not universal. it's like how i find queer teen media annoying, not because i think it shouldn't exist, but bc everyone treats it as the only valid or relevant queer media when there are so many other queer experiences that matter (and also the cookie cutter queer teen experiences shown in said media are also, shocker, not universal).
idk where i was going with this i just find it annoying that people are so enamored with this kind of thing and wish people were doing things with character's queerness that weren't like. boiling them down to that as a character trait, when it's not and there are so many other ways to depict it in fanworks. and i'm cranky and tired and want canon compliant fics please i'm begging
#bell.txt#idk do whatever you want like i said i just dont care for these personally and wish they were less unavoidable#no rbs on this one i am just complaining to complain which is why its also over here

On Tuesday I had one of the worst crits ever while operating on 3 hrs of jetlagged sleep. It was one of those crits where you're trying to explain your concept, which is deeply rooted in your identity and the inherent conflict it has with the men around you, to the men around you lma and ones that have disrespected you time and time again. My work deals with esoteric rites, worship, and gender and identity through the lense of religious art techniques--both in an attempt to understand the symbolic "woman" and the feeling of "woman". This parallels my inability to understand the feeling of "faith". I use archetopical symbolism to construct my pieces. The pieces like I said are deeply rooted in being an andro lesbo, and I frankly and too recently soft-out to want to discuss to a group of jackoff art dudes that sort of venerable content.
And ofc to a room full of 30-40nyr old men this is totally incomprehensible, and me refusing to explain in great detail what each piece or symbol mean (again, cuz THAT'S THE POINT AND ALSO THE PIECE SHOW WAS ABOUT MY NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH MEN IN ACADEMICS, I.E. THEIR ASSES!,) was totally unacceptable. I spent the whole time trying to explain why I wasn't going to explain the deeper meaning of the pieces and them then giving confusing, mean, replies. My prof at home point said "yeah if an atosy doesn't explain what their work means in a gallery I just walk right by it" which is such bullshit Idek where to start. For one this sort of esoteric art is SOOOO historically rooted and common that is a fun in lie. Like viewer interpretation of peices with repeated symbols being placed above clear explanation is not only common, but also incredibly important. 2ndly uh no the fuck you wouldn't. My work is visually good enough to stand on its own which again, IS THE WHOLE POINT OF MY CONCEPT. these fucks get so caught up in "woman no give me what I want" that they totally overlooked the actual piece in the room in favor of trying to pry shit out of me simply because I didn't want to freely give it to them. Because of that I got NO formal feedback, NO comments on the actual Piece. NO suggestions of what to do/take away visually, NO comments on craft, NO useful shit at all!!!
And this is more minor- I happened to have been accepted into a very competitive apprenticeship, yippieee! I posted it to my story the day before. My prof saw it, no likes, not message, no nothing this dude goes out of his way to congratulate every dude in the class on whatever they achieve. This guy has told us to aim and achieve high and tell us about our achievements so he can brag about his students. Anyways fays forward to class the next day- and mind you I hadn't had a chance to talk to him and tell him, considering his ass showed up late to HIS CLASS. We go through class announcements, and another student asks me in front of everyone "hey didn't you get that apprenticeship? Co grays dude that's awesome!" n I was like "oh thank uu ^_^"
What does my prof do? Absolutely nothing. Totally ignored that happens. No smile, no mention, no Congratz, no nothing. Just moves on. And the whole class he's like, peeved at me. So my crit with this asshole the same day after all this shit.
What's annoying is this prof is nonconfrontational to an infuriating point. If he realizes he was a dick, he will never apologize, he'll just do what me and other girl students have dubbed "puppy dog mode" where he acts like a friendly little kicked puppy, and will try to be all extra niceys, which is just annoying and frankly infantilizing. Like dude you're what, 43? Just say you're fucking sorry like dawg we are all adults in a graduate academic course let's be so fucking real. And that's even if he feels like he HAS done something wrong.

cyl year 7! deets under cut
heres hoping that the winners are at least one person i like. rob (either) would be ideal, esp if they arent possessed lol. i would say corn but recently the corns have just been enforcing the gender route split which i think is really bland bc the whole point of the game is to choose your own route/ect. but yea. out of all the most popular ones theyre the only one id be really interested in
and for the actual cyl pics!
elm: goodest boy needs his base version pls! like ok his new years art like i predicted is way better but i just want him. he actually didnt get screwed over writingwise (he didnt get. anything. writingwise but still. thats a step up) so even more reason to want him
renault: the last member of the treble trouble five! please add him soon! i think hes really fascinating in the story of 7, being a man on a redemption arc from like. a really bad path, which you like never see in the fe series (but hey. maybe mauvier or whatever? tbh he gives me hendrik vibes a little). hes fascinating in the story and his supports are a wide range of emotions, from being comical like in bartre’s to being depressing in most of the others. i dont fucking give a darn abt the main villain of 7 but if they add him theyd better add renault too (or alternatively id also take fallen renault when he was still on life essence juice)
amalda: the unofficial sixth ranger of tt5! i also want her to be added soon but idk if ever soon (since shes a route split tho maybe she could be a ghb! please gosh). like renault i think shes really interesting for a character standpoint, shes one of the people who opposed fucking kidnapping children and actually rescued children (and not after helping to kidnap and kill them shaking my head at last years 4 banner specifically), but harbors a guilty conscience bc of the blood she’s spilled as a soldier, and is torn emotionally of whether to stay loyal to friege or not. tbh she and renault have a lot of same energy and i love them both.
jeritza: pre timeskip i am begging. hes just really cool before it, and would make a great ghb (tho thats probably unlikely). just let him keep the mask i am foaming at the mouth. i didnt really care for how he was treated after the timeskip and tbh in general, but i still like his character even tho i have issues w the canon writing. he deserves better tldr
ilios: this year was rally 5 bc i love them and want them added! ilios is fun, and like amalda i feel like he has a good chance to be ghb material (like. if they add fred or whatever his name is? olwen’s friend? they could have ghb of him), he even has a support/conversation/thingy with karin itd be great. (honestly their banter was funny! tho i want that sword guy from 5 too bc i liked the dynamic between him and her lol. and i want halvan too, and dagdar) but yea ilios! hes a fun character, i have noticed i have a soft spot for guys with sticks up their butts lol. i agree w karin tho his obsession w his name and stiff personality is fun to tease
shannam: the funniest boy! the only person in the world who it is ok to call a sussy baka lol. his entire concept of a character is so funny, hes essentially a con man impersonating the prince but hes kind of an idiot and a little flaky. and gosh do i love me a good con man. his friendship w homeros is fun, and oh gosh when mareeta referenced him in her crit line i was like -pointing guy meme- please come home.
homer: chaotic music boy hours! gosh i think he did well last year i would love for him to be added. hes canonically a tome but they could make him a musician dancer like nils that would be fun! (unlikely but fun). hes just the hornyman(tm) but has a laser focus for horny, except the person he tries to be horny with i think punches him and cries bc hes so pathetic so he joins your party. hes a cool grey morality character and i dig that so much. plus his friendship w shannam is very good too. i swear if we got the boys(tm) id cry happy tears (w ghb ilios! that would be the dream lol. amalda ig would have to be gacha cries)
other characters id want to give ones to would be idunn (santa or new years pls), ursula (rearmed please!), touma and yashiro (tms part 2 please!!), iuchar, iuchabra, and arion from 4 (and maybe ishtore and liza too if theyre included. gosh they make me so emo not gonna lie. both bc what happens to them and how they get treated in canon). i dont remember if flech was included but gosh she deserved better too id give her one if i could. not to even get started on characters id just like to see included, like linoan, murdock, elrean, dozla, ect.
#let me just say the art for 5 is so pretty. i really dig the spritework#tho i would dig even more them adding the characters wink wink#gameblogging#well we will see the result soon#im hoping for some things but mostly just hoping 17 isnt bad. pls dont heck up#i really want to like these characters and world esp after hating 16's plot and world so much

I don’t know how some butch lesbians can call themselves gender crit/radfems or whatever the fuck TERFs call themselves now-a-days and can bother getting out of bed knowing the cult community they’re apart of will not give a single shit if you come collateral damage.

remeber its always moraly ok to punch a transphobe. terf, gender critical, whatever they like to be called.
trans men are men
trans women are women
don't let them take away our rights under the excuse of "protecting women" when trans people are being killed just for being trans.
dont let them say "oh, so because im a woman your gonna punch me?" no, im punching you because your a transphobe.
fuck terfs. fuck transphobes. fuck gender crits.
#makeing this un reblogable because i don't want this to get the attention of transphobes#yall can screenshot and steal it tho#i just dont want anons telling me to kill myself on the slim chance this would be popular#tw transphobes#tw death mention#tw terfs

Post about Tumblr etiquette and basic stuff that I'm trying to make as entertaining and colourful as possible because I have the attention span of a stick and if I saw long paragraphs like this too, i would go " I will scroll ".
Part 2: here you go. it’s very short, i think.
CW! Twitter discourse (indicated, Techno's boundaries being broken. sleepytwt disbanding??, it's short, don't worry).
Hi hi hello to you all coming from Twitter after whatever the fuck happened. Sit down have a drink, take a sip, have a cookie (...cept for chocolate chip, those are mine). It's pretty safe here as long as nobody drags in the cousin we all dislike.
Tags, hashtags, not shopping tags.
We use the tags as a filtering system, basically. Like stuff about:
Tubbo in general? #tubbo .
Stuff about character Tubbo? #c!tubbo / #c!Tubbo .
Stuff about content creator Tubbo? #cc!Tubbo / #cc!tubbo.
etc. etc.
We try to keep positive stuff in the main tags (in general tags), occasionally there will be stuff about Twitter or negativity about them but generally, as far as I've seen, they aren't heavy, or they are but they're pretty solid arguments that aren't like, loud, yelling, or gives off that vibe, I suppose.
#cw!__ / #tw!__ / #neg!__ / #__ crit+ more can be tagged if needed or requested (as in, if the tag isn't already there). Depends on who runs the blog. Whether you need to send in a ask, or just reply to the post, or DM. Up to the person to runs the blog.
-- if there's more I'll add, when I think of them later --
Reblog button my beloved
I'm not : hey I study the algorithm I know shit!
But IG and Twitter runs on likes / retweets. Tumblr runs on reblogs. yeah, yeah, that small button that's like, circular next to the heart.
Looks like recycling, something the government failed to incorporate well. Looks like the recycling symbol doesn't it? yeah it just lacks one arrow and it's not a triangle.
Liking posts? Great that's nice buddy, thank you (not /s)
Reblogging? Mmmmmmm THATS THE SHIT. SEEING THAT IN MY NOTIFS? serotonin. absolutely.
please, it's like the one thing that's keeping this platform afloat and information / works spreading. also it helps spreads the post. Liking doesn't do much, most it does is be a bookmark just so you can look for that post later.
"but I don't want my blog to be flooded with stuff I reblog!" No, no, dude (gender neutral), that's how you get people to follow and find your stuff. You really worried about people being annoyed, can't find what you actually post? Refer to part 1, tags as a filtering system. Make a reference post or whatever, pin it to your profile or make a Carrd, link that stuff. If people are really that lazy to go to the hashtag, doom scrolling works for them.
Filtering, yes great mechanic.
Filtering, now, this isn't for other people to find your stuff and save them time of scrolling. It's somewhat related to the tagging system of Tumblr but it's for yourself this time, very cool.
- Gear icon. Top right corner of your profile.
- Account settings.
- Filtering.
Two options : tag filter and content filter.
Tags filter is self-explanatory. You enter the tag you don't wanna see, and done. You'll never see that tag, or any posts that have that tag again.
Content filter filters posts with certain text content. Certain- as in the text you've entered, and decided you never wanna see em.
Congratulations, your eyes didn't lose HP today.
Bruh when was this posted.
Haven't used Tumblr on a laptop for a while, but I'm pretty sure it says, uh somewhere.
But on phone:
Three dots. Top right of the post.
There it is, like, rightttt there, above that rectangle pop up thing, there's the date. Have fun seeing how dead some blogs are.
My post is getting drowned :(
Uh, reblog your own post or pin it to your own profile. That works.
So does the post drowning and disappearing into oblivion. Tapping a button requires a lot of work and if ya don't want to, shruggie.
Ayo, if you're gonna justify something about someone or any situation, be specific and as clear as you possibly could, if you mess up a little with your argument, that's fine. Edit button is a pencil on the post, you can make another post or reblog the OG post to clarify.
Use tone indicators. There are neurodivergent people on this platform, like, every platform basically. Save us some worrying and head scratching.
Use the tone indicators, and don't use them as a joke (unless it's between like close moots, and your uh following gets it then yeah I suppose that's fine, but clarify in the tags would be great).
Typing out /insert_acronym_here isn't a time consuming thing. ( A simple Google search of Reddit tone indicators can give you a list if you need it ).
Last thing I can really think of is: the hashtags is where all the short hot takes, that good shit, is.
Not just in general, in posts too ;) .
also why are people on Twitter spreading the #kick____ with saying that you shouldn't do that. Your intentions are great m8, but uh, ಠ◡ಠ that's a... It's a method.
k welcome to tumblr. Each app has their like etiquette, this is Tumblr's or the most I can think of. no you can't have my chocolate chip cookies, have a good stay.
I'm going to bed like man, I'm sleepy. (Also since people is coming in because of like, the stuff related to SBI going on twitter, gonna mainly tag that. Hope that's chill)
Also, it's Ramadan. claps, Ramadan Mubarak, have a good one y'all. (whispers hey, hey send some love to fellow Muslims, hope you're doing well.)
Edit:
15/4/2021 , 6.42 PM --- Filtering (new section)
#tumblr etiquette#general#mcyt#technoblade#sleepy bois inc#sbi#cw! twitter discourse#uhhh if ya wanna add in replies yeah thats chill.#twitter discourse#mention.#aw i messed something up tumblr why have you done this.

[EDITED 12.21.23]
actual intro post heres an image to get your attention. also off the bat dream & wilbur supporters go fuck yourself and die. schlatt people also go fuck yourself honestly i dont actually care about being nice about it now
- dyke/mask/eyez/etc etc whatever you want to call me ill respond. i might send asks sometimes tag is either -🎭🎪 or just my url if something looks weird then ask
-any pronouns but he/him, includes it/its and neos
-main fronter of a system (crittertales). you can also find tubzo at @tubzozone others may talk here too. syscourse wise if youre extremely anti-endo dont follow me you will be disappointed but i also do not support trying to use tulpamancy (i wont fakeclaim, its just. an uncomfortable topic. thoughtforms fine) i just think the medical field surrounding systems is often full of bullshit and that the anti-endo community can be really. shitty and full of bullying and harassment and i dont want to associate with that. we are traumagenic and thats all we will disclose abt our origins
-used to be mainly focused on dsmp (hence the url and layout) but now im mostly letting it be a background interest. mostly im just hammering out ideas for my own lil rewrite/au in my mind so i can move on and pretend like thats how it went. for now im into qsmp, and other smps i tag with abbreviations usually
-dsmp wise im mainly a ctubbo person, often cbeeduo but i liked keeping up with everyones storylines. i do tag character crit but not usually cc crit. for qsmp im a qtubbo main :P same thing regarding crit
-michael_beloved enthusiast. dont be violent about him in my sight hes literally 6yrs old. sunnysideup enthusiast now too 💪💪
-feel free to ask for my discord or to send an ask/dm for whatever reason. ill respond on my own time
-if you follow me n we interact sometimes tag drug use (especially weed and alcohol) for the love of fucking god. also dsmpshipping (idc about qsmpshipping as long as you arent like.. doin it w jaiden idk shes aroace. but its literally yaoi island and theyre playing characters so yknow just tag nsfw and we're chill)
dni: really this is more of a "ill block you" thing but no truthers no proshippers no boundary breakers no one whose going to argue that its okay that ao3 allows underage rpf no dream supporters all of you die gruesomely.
and then finally boundary wise dont use masc terms for me even if meant gender neutrally, dont make weird "im going to kiss you" comments towards me even if meant platonically, dont make sexual comments towards me either, and in terms of interacting w my content just dont claim as yours/give credit and we gucci i dont give a shit abt anything else
im putting this back as my pinned post because it has more information but i still wont be as active as i used to be. this blog got a lot more attention than i ever expected it to and its been amazing and also very stressful. a lot of shitty things have happened to us in our personal life this year and we're.. tired. tired and paranoid and so this blog is going to have very fluctuating activity at times for now untilll. forever probably. until i truly do lose all interest in mcyt. thanks to all whove been with me for so very long and still stuck around o7
#intro post#mask mews#dyke doodlez#dyke drabblez#amaryllis analyzes#decided to clean this thing up i didnt like how clunky it looked anymore

Hey there
I’m Lior, but I also go by Avery. I use he/they/xe pronouns. Nice to see you’ve seen my blog!
I usually post random thoughts, validity/positivity, and occasionally a coherent thought. Lately I’ve just been reblogging. A lot.
More shit about me under that!
I’m queer as fuck. To put it simply, I’m a genderqueer boy who is also asexual, biromantic, and arospec. To put it complicatedly, I’m a xenic nonbinary genderqueer boy who is also caelumgender, caelgender, gendercaecus, asexual, biromantic, arospec, and straightcian. There’s even more to that plus some questioning that I’m not even going to mention here.
Also, I’m a person of color! I’m Filipino, but I was born and raised in the US. My parents grew up in the Philippines, so I think that makes me second-generation.
I know four languages! Well, kind of. Both English and Tagalog are my native languages, but I’m more fluent in English. I’m also learning Spanish and Esperanto.
I’m neurodivergent. I have anxiety, depression, and tics (though I may or may not have a tic disorder). I also might have ADHD. Yes, I am going to therapy.
Did I mention my systemhood? Yeah, there are 14 other beings in my body. But more likely than not, none of them are going to pop up here. They’re not too interested in Tumblr.
BYI/BYF
Just so you know, I don’t have any specific DNI criteria. At the same time, I can and will block you if I want. (I also 100% encourage blocking me for whatever reason)
I’m critinclus
I’m an m-spec vincian and m-spec straight, and I support m-spec lesbians
I’m a non-binary vincian and non-binary straight, and support non-binary lesbians
I’m PNC
I’m GNC
I use “contradictory” labels
I’m a-spec
I participate/have participated in ethical non-monogamy
I use xenogenders
I use neopronouns, and support all neopronouns (pleopronoun, nounself, emojipronoun, etc.)
I’m part of an endogenic system and support all systems (traumagenic, endogenic, disordered, non-disordered, spontagenic, parogenic, etc.)
I’m alterhuman (otherkin), and support all other alterhumans (otherkin, therian, otherlink, choicekin, factkin, fictionkin, etc.)
I’m Filipino and support all POC
I participate in educated self-diagnosis
I believe in good-faith self-identification
I support non-dysphoric trans individuals
I support sex workers
I support non-lesbians using terms such as femme and butch
I support the idea of intersectionality (eg. being a QPOC is a different experience than being a white queer or a queern’t POC)
I support lesboys and vincigirls
I believe in transandrophobia/treiphobia
I DON’T support acting on paraphiliac desires, but I DO support those individuals seeking help
I DON’T support gender crits
I DON’T support TERFs, SWERFs, and other radfems (yes, that includes TIRFs)
I DON’T support truscums/transmeds
I DON’T support exclus beliefs
I swear, but I can dial it down it needed/asked/appropriate. However, at the moment I don’t tag my posts with swears
I use slurs that I can reclaim, and I do tag my posts that include slurs

An anti dressed up as a shipper, an idiot, and a terf all walk into the same bar.
It’s the same picture person.
A lesson.
Warning: if the title doesn’t give it away, queerphobic content comes up in this from the other party being documented.
So, some of you may have watched a twitter exercise yesterday.
It started simple: concern trolling white knight “for the writers” comes in to angrily declare fans doing something tagged in support of them about Destiel was “out of line.” She claimed things like “Misha was gaslit into supporting Destiel”, and pulled all kinds of stunts.
She immediately got on a soap box yelling “I HAVE A LIT CRIT DEGREE, I KNOW AUTHOR INTENT” of course implying she knew better than EVERYONE around her how to read text. She then pulled, of all things, @chill-legilimens ‘ article about the network gods gutting the show out of the internet, and somehow misread it SO FUCKING BADLY -- SO FUCKING BADLY -- she thought it aligned with HER. She argued that fans influenced the writers, essentially, and basically pulled the exact opposite of the very clearly delivered message there out. When it was pointed out we know this author and even sometimes help edit their pieces, and she was, flat out misreading it while bragging about how good she is at deciphering text, it turned into a SHITSHOW.
I had watched her give a large group of queer people 2 days of runaround, while they tried to be polite, and similarly tried to prove everything while she proved nothing. Just preached. After 2 days of them exhausting themselves on her, I came in doing my blunt & savage thing, because fuck civility culture when it’s used by oppressors. Of course, she immediately started tone policing, while herself being an arrogant shitbrick the whole way.
She continued to preach author intent and talk down about “headcanons.” You see, she knew the authors very well. Berens’ name was mentioned in passing, and she came back with. “Who’s Berens? Is that the author of the article?” after Deirdre’s name had been directly cited in associated with it about 15 times.
(credit: @judgehangman )
But it gets better. She started pulling the “authors have said Dean is straight.” line. Now, at this point, we had already sourced her at least four pieces of information (quite formally too: SPN Official DVD Collection Season 8 episode 13 creative commentary, Edlund and Sgriccia; Dissent Magazine The Attack Queers Bob Berens review; the books in the office with screenshots, and more.) So we issued one simple request: Okay. Source.
For the next-- I shit you not-- 10 hours she bricked the thread to death, finding any and EVERY rabbit hole she could try to venture down. For the first hour or two a few of us tried to actually debate her newly raised points, but still gave reminder that we were waiting for her source. Every tweet was an opportunity for her to drop a 15 tweet thread trying to derail onto a new topic, and often clarifying she had no idea about any of it (Edlund, Sgriccia, Berens, Dabb--who she couldn’t spell the name of--and Deirdre all became an amorpheous blob in her retelling that she swore she looked at sources and wasn’t convinced, while she crossed all the data and comments about the sources). She tried to challenge that anyone could know all the writers and episodes just because she proved she couldn’t, even when multiple people expressed it to her extremely rapidly with not just author and director listings, but cross references on when they overlapped and major elements (like the 15.20 shot 19 tree being the Kim Manners memorial tree). She randomly babbled about Kripke once. Lied her way through and claimed those sources were vague. Etc.
But at some point, I decided, we’re not playing this distraction game. You wanted a debate, you claim you have a lit crit degree, and thus know the entire art is Argumentation. A source, if you’re declaring knowing author intent. One source. Any time she dropped a distraction tweet, I replied to her thread with things like a list of our sources vs her lack of any and a reminder. I installed a counter ticker. How many times had she been asked to either recant her point or give a single source?
Someone made a list of the logical fallacies she used in the argument. It was two tweets long and still missed several obvious ones. That didn’t stop her. Neither did the dozens of requests for a source or a recant. Onwards, she marched, derailing time and again. She brought in a buddy to try to distract, but he fell out real quick when he realized “the burden of proof lies on the arguer” shot him and her both in the feet in record time and he ducked out.
Other greatest hits came out like “Dubs (Dabb’s) fanfic books”, and calling the ability to list authors and episodes “headcanons.”
Over time, the dialogue shifted: see, she came in trying the snide “enjoy your headcanons” downtalk, but as time and time again she was pulverized on every point about the show, or the authors, or anything else while STILL never even giving a single source to even her FIRST POINT and running distractions, it became a reality-- she was told, “We’ll enjoy our canon and author intent. You can enjoy your headcanon of... Dabb’s fanfic books and Lord Barons and the writers being collective hallucinations and whatever else in your hot takes about the show content itself” and she FLIPPED SHIT.
As the ticker for sources approached 100, she started becoming flustered. Before that, even, she started repetitively misgendering Ezra (no tumblr to link in), and Ezra screenshot their bio of they/them and asked them to adjust. Ignored. Ezra linked this request and asked it to be addressed again, and again, and again. 13 times. Ezra linked it 13 times. She even replied to several of them. No avail. No change. Not until literally any and every tweet in her vicinity either had “source?” or “address gender?” for her to reply to did she flee there, and write some giant write-around of “oh, I didn’t see this, sorry” but still refused to actually use it. Or “I’ll use the right one now.” No, just completely strickened pronouns from her vocabulary with Ezra moving forward, after not one mistake, not two, not five, but 13 answers.
At this point, I notice a trend: throughout the entire conversation, she had flip flopped on my pronouns, clearly confused as to what to call me. As I generally don’t care (honestly I prefer he but meh), it didn’t ping me as something to react to while she switched religiously between “he” and “she”. But I realized now, despite all of that confusion: she never once thought to use “they.” Also earlier we found tweets of hers that, while now declaring herself bisexual, she used troublesome wording in the past to blur the line on if she was an ally or, as she phrased it “maybe less than 100% straight in the bell curve” in other conversations.
I mutter about this on the side to Ezra and some friends, but continue on towards the 100 ticker that was the goal to show people in this digital terrarium how disingenuous most people you argue with are -- an exhibit for the class. They know they’re lying and have been caught, but will not cede to admit “oops, I guess I was wrong.” but rather stick, unironically, to their own headcanons about things. After all, they vaguely sorta apologized even if suddenly just refusing to use any pronouns at all on Ezra after that. And she’s so quick to disappear into 15 tweet bombs of distraction trying to play victim for being held accountable at this point, we just didn’t jump to a conclusion on that, alarming as it is.
So. You know. Source.
At this point, she RANDOMLY starts evoking the fact that like, How Dare, She Watched Gay Men Die To AIDS, She Is A Great Philanthropist How Dare How Dare.
I’m sorry, did you just evoke the blood of our dead to run away from the most basic scrap of accountability in what is literally the first wave of a lit debate because for the last 10 hours you have refused to take the necessary steps to move on to the next point? Did you... just... evoke the ghosts of gay men that were genocided to, essentially, pull up a smokescreen and run away from being party to queer erasure? Or even just? Giving a source? or admitting you were wrong on one point in a debate? Wow, you really just did that.
Naturally, people involved got pissed. Her Sources ticker hit 100, but at this point, all that haunted her was how completely fucking vile and inappropriate that was in this discussion.
She got blocked. She then tried to glom onto anyone that hadn’t blocked or muted her and run the same argumentation points she had earlier been decimated in the argument with, while yelling “I ship Destiel too! I wanted them to have sex too! Why does this make me the bad guy?” around the block and hoping nobody actually read the thread. She tried to pitch the “headcanons” point of view again, hoping a new audience would lick her boots. She was, largely, ignored; given a few more comments about her leaving the conversation losing all points and only covered in the blood of our dead she was so proud of; blocked by a few more. (unsurprisingly, if you check her actual tweet history, she seems more invested in Megstiel but)
This is when CommaSameleon -- a professor with two lit degrees and a primary focus in teaching the art of Argumentation -- literally -- stepped in. She initially tried to engage the fact that, well, this woman not only can’t argue out of a paper sack but wasn’t even arguing, she was just running in circles and distracting from all the points and hadn’t addressed a single lit point directly while preaching down at people. But Sam, also, noticed something. This woman kept changing things like “queerphobia” to “homophobia.” Sam mentioned this kinda puts off TERF vibes (I think Sam picked up on the gendering thing herself too.)
Her response? Which she deleted since? But Discord’s embed helpfully saved?
Her inacted non-apologies remain weak, especially in any form of debate be it lit or now queer topics.
Oh I’m sorry, let’s recap her viewpoints: TERF is a slur. “They” is made up and should be avoided at all costs. The blood of dead gay men are a token to use in a lit debate you’re avoiding responsibility in. After this, “authors are headcanons” is suddenly not your worst take, but fascinating that you 13 times didn’t even read the blatant ass screenshot. And I mean, these weren’t subtle or easy to miss these 13 times.
100. She had 100 chances, literally, on a timer, to give a source or shut up with her platforming until she had one. Instead, she chose every rabbit hole she could manifest to disappear into, only to be met by another request for a source, and not moving on until we address the first points. We’ve given ours, now you give yours. Instead, you choose this. This is the hill you choose to die on, rather than admitting, “Sorry, I guess I was wrong” or “I guess I heard that somewhere, my bad.” 100 chances. 13 direct QT requests to address gender which she replied to but didn’t reply to until cornered (and still didn’t, truly, reply to), and “TERF is a slur.” Oh, and after waving around the dead men’s blood she also suddenly Can’t Be A Terf Because She Adopted Two Trans Kids. Lord help those children. Or, you know, the more realistic thing is she’s just manifesting all kinds of bullshit at this point to save face, which is probably why she deleted all the related tweets that show she’s a giant-ass TERF.
So anyway, this is very much a lesson on:
Paying attention to how people manipulate conversation to erase genuine discussion and debate.
Paying attention to WHY they do it. Motivation on methods and tactics will clear up a lot.
Figuring out HOW they try to sound woke about shit and when it’s entirely fucking vile and inappropriate to pull
And by all above points, figuring out that these people are among us, and how NOT to let them influence your conversations.
I don’t care if it’s about a discussion on a ship or show or anything else. People do this. A lot. Extremely dedicatedly, if the 100 asks doesn’t make that clear.
Stop letting people railroad your conversations with disingenuous bullshit.
So anyway in honor of this I made everyone a gif
Use at will. It’s tagged anti-terf if you want to use the search feature on it.
UPDATE:
Just went and checked. She went and deleted literally her entire side of the conversation, hundreds if not thousands of tweets. Luckily, Ezra mentioned repeatedly -- and I do trust them inherently -- that they were saving the entire conversation, so that zip file exists somewhere. How fascinating, after she accused us that we would want to delete tweets. Someone realized they had a bad look and giant failure all around.
Also, a related anon that links to an earlier part of this conversation I didn’t even document where she was crying about “cis erasure” [x] This shit went on so long I legit forgot about that.

“men are naturally evil” is literally the worst fucking take lmao like not only is it ideologically incoherent and deeply reductive it’s bioessentialist bullshit. takes like that are exactly why gender crit weirdos fall in so easily with race science horseshit. like when will we collectively learn that there is no predetermined good or evil or fucking whatever. straight women aren’t inherently, incurably doomed to be abused in their relationships because Men Are Born Evil, and fuck you if you think so. that’s nonsense, and the notion that abusers act the way they do because they cannot choose to act otherwise borders on abuse apologism at best. abusing others is a choice. bettering yourself is a choice. compassion is a choice. get with it
