TW for discussion of homophobia.
Hi, Nora! In the spirit of pride month I want to tell the story about how becoming a demon phannie has deprogrammed my bigotry when I was a teen.
I grew up with homophobia being the norm amongst the kids. In my country it was quite precise though, a bit different from what Dan described in BIG. We didn't use "gay" as a synonym for "bad". Boys wouldn't be called gay for crying or liking theater or just being well-behaved. Not in my school at least.
No, there was a clear-cut definition that gays were only the boys who liked boys. But if you fit that definition, if someone knew you fit that definition, then god help you. You would be constantly mocked, bullied and beat up at school. The headmaster would call your parents and tell them to fix their broken little pervert. Your parents reaction could fall anywhere from a stern talk and calling you a disgrace to a beating and sending you to a military type boarding school. Treating a teen this way was perceived as completely normal. Nowadays the kids have thankfully become way more accepting despite our governments best efforts. But now you can also add a visit to the police station to the pile.
Sapphics just didn't exist, as always. That's why when I told my friends "I genuinely think boobs are more attractive than dicks - they are more esthetically pleasing to look at" the only reaction I got was confused laughter and strange looks. No, I did not realize what that said about me back then. It was just foreshadowing.
I remember my parents occasionally saying that it's a sickness and shouldn't be allowed to be demonstrated in any way. Peppering it with the usual "they can do whatever they want behind closed doors". And if people got beat up on the streets for being gay...well they just brought that on themselves by flaunting their sexuality, didn't they?
I lived with that worldview until I was 15 or 16.
Then I started finding out that some famous people were gay. But it only got me to the point of "I like his art, so I won't stop consuming it, despite him being gay". In my mind if you were gay and wanted people to tolerate your existence, you had to be talented in order to justify it. And have the decency to not act gay in public. Yeah, I know, bare with me.
When I found Dan's channel in 2015 I instantly fell in love with his videos. Soon I also started watching Phil and then the gaming channel.
My gaydar was non-existent at the time and, ironically, I was conditioned into thinking that gay people just like to announce that they're gay to everyone. So, since Dan and Phil never did, I just took their word for it. For almost a year I just enjoyed watching their content without a second thought.
Then one day I saw the compilations. The radio show clips. The old videos. That was all it took really. My brain couldn't compute, couldn't connect the "sick perversion" I heard so much about to what I was seeing on my screen. It wasn't unnatural, or disgusting or deliberately demonstrative.  It was fucking beautiful. They simply couldn't help being extremely adorable.
Starting from that day the thought "keep it to yourselves" never occurred to me. I just wanted to be a fly on the wall.
I never dared to write fanfiction or make compilations or, god forbid, directly ask one of them in a qna. I was happy to just lurk and snort that yaoi cocaine in silence.
In hindsight, Dan and Phil were the reason I didn't instantly hate myself after having the first crush on a girl and realizing I was bi in 2018.
Later I got into breadtube and realized just how insane and baseless all those conservative talking points were. But DnP were the sole reason I left that eco-chamber in the first place.
So thank you to Dan and Phil and thank you to all fellow demons 💜
fujoshi-ism saves lives is the thing
no but isn't it odd the way things work out.. the fact that dan and phil were able to help you like that is amazing, and also it's very funny that they did it through the power of rpf

Tumblr media
Eustass Kid X CisFem Reader
Silver moonlight danced through the fluttering drapes covering the open window. Late summer nights were your favorite, it was still warm but there was just the slightest chill in the air as the seasons began to change. It was perfect weather for airing out the apartment after a few months of relying on the air conditioner.
Brawny burgundy clad digits traced over your open palm. You lay comfortably sandwiched between the soft mattress and your redhead. He wasn't fully resting on you but he was occupying much of your bare torso. Your fingers slid into his hairline as he closed his eyes listening to your heart thrum. It was hard to believe this calloused, hot headed man could be so gentle. Granted, this wasn't always the case.
Your lips upturned slightly replaying how rough and demanding he'd been only moments before. On occasion he'd allow himself to be vulnerable and lie on you caressing you gently.
Exhaling against your skin he shifted slightly, "Can't sleep?"
You hummed continuing to massage his scalp, "Just lost in thought. I'll sleep soon, honey."
Of all the things Eustass Kid had been called in his life, that pet name coming from your lips was his favorite. He'd never admit it, but you knew. You'd seen his demeanor change and the slight smirk that would grace his painted lips.
The day you met you fell for that simper.
__________
"Can we go somewhere else?" Your large pale friend complained, "It's so hot in here."
"We just came in from outside, Bepo. Once you settle you'll cool down."
"Law's right," you took a seat at the bar of the mostly empty diner you'd just entered, "Let's get you a cold drink."
Your male companions took the two seats to your left as a giant redhead was already occupying the stool to your right. It wasn't long before your gaze wandered to the man next to you. Holding the menu up to hide most of your face, you drank in his sharp stern features. Even sitting quietly he seemed to be brooding. His dark eye liner and lipstick brought out the stark contrast of his pale complexion.
Law's tattooed fingers entered your periphery taking the menu from your hands and turning it right side up, "If you're going to gawk, don't be so obvious, F/N-ya."
"I...I - it isn't," you stammered blushing heavily, "s-shut up."
"You should teach your girlfriend some manners." the redhead sneered.
"Oh, he's not-" you began to explain.
Law leaned into your space to address the stranger with a cocky smirk, "she's not my type."
He punctuated the statement with a salacious wink.
"Law!" you croaked while the man next to you looked on with widening eyes.
"I guess you're not either." your best friend shrugged indifferently, settling back into his seat.
"Sorry about him," you waved regaining his vermilion gaze, "He just likes to get a rise out of people. His boyfriend hates it."
The most amazing laugh rumbled through his chest, "What a fucking weirdo."
"Doctor Weirdo," Law corrected snarkily.
"How are you friends with that guy?"
"He doesn't make it easy." you chuckled, shaking your head.
As he picked up his coffee cup he noticed your demeanor shift along with your gaze.
"That's not government issue." you marveled over his prosthetic.
You weren't sure how you'd missed it before, the polished steel caught the afternoon sun pouring through the window behind him. His left arm was an impressive fabrication that suited his frame. The hinges and joints worked smoothly at his will in perfectly articulated movements. It was beautiful.
"I'd never accept some hunk of shit from the government." he snorted.
Your soft doe eyes raised to him brimming with interest, "That must've cost a fortune, most mechanics aren't willing to compete with the government rates, even if the quality suffers. That's where they get you."
Kid was taken aback for a moment. Not many people took interest in him like this. His stature and attitude didn't really work in his favor either.
"I made it." he finally stated setting the mug down and flexing his prosthetic digits for you.
"So impressive," without a thought you ran your fingers over the cool metal.
"And we've lost her." Law commented flatly.
"I'm sorry." Bepo murmured.
"You always go around touching strangers?" the redhead snorted almost playfully.
Blushing hard, you withdrew your hand, "I get carried away. I'm a fabricator too, Law and I have a practice together."
Private practices were fairly uncommon, because the government could mass produce prosthetics much cheaper. The problem was just that - the product was often cheaply made and with everyday use, had to be replaced completely within a couple of years. You made quality products that cost more but with proper maintenance lasted much longer. With that you were able to build and maintain a clientele that kept you reasonably busy.
"I thought most mechs weren't willing to compete with the government." he smirked down at you.
"I'm not most mechs." you retorted making him chuckle again.
"Such a cocky woman." his painted lips twitched, "I guess you'll have to prove it."
Smiling brightly you swiveled on your barstool outstretching your left leg to reveal your custom self-made prosthetic. Sleek matte black metal extended from your left thigh accented with rose gold rivets, cords and joints.
It was Kid's turn to marvel. The craftsmanship and technique was something to behold. He actually had to keep himself from reaching out to touch it.
"Go ahead, Red." you chuckled, "You look like you'll die if you don't."
His eyes flickered up to meet yours as his neck and ears heated up. Gently he brushed his fingers over your shin and looked back down watching the knee joint bend.
"Titanium, it's nice and light so it won't slow me down but also durable so it'll last." you explained, "not that there's anything wrong with your steel. It suits you and I have to admit I'm incredibly curious about the build with only one hand. You're very talented, Red."
"Kid," he straightened up in his seat while you raised an inquisitive brow, "that's my name."
______________
"Ya gonna tell me what you're thinking about?" your redhead asked nipping your shoulder.
"When we first met." you shivered and ran your fingers through his messy locks.
He laughed, "You were so weird."
"Oh, I love you too." you muttered sarcastically.
"Hey, I came out looking worse here," he continued in a stern but playful tone,"I married you."
"Such an asshole." you chuckled as he pushed himself up to look over you.
"Mhm, but I'm yours."

On the 27th of October 2023, just a few days ago my sister texted me thay her Israeli jewish boyfriend who went back to "protect his home" texted her that he didn't have his phone and it could be 4 days to 4 months before he had it again. So I called my sister and calmed her down.
Today, I found out that Israel has cut off Gaza's internet access and is currently invading Gaza. He is most likely apart of those Israel soldiers.
I feel fucking sick knowing my sweet twin sister's boyfriend is actively participating in this fucking genocide.
I can't fucking post about this anywhere else because it might put that cunt in danger and my sister in a horrid mental state in turn. I only have like 150 follows on Tiktok but I should still be posting, but if I do, my parents will be fucking pissed and my sister will loose one of her few support people. (She is at risk of unaliving herself)
Who the fuck am I to complain!?!?!? There is a genocide happening to so many people and I feel like I can't do shit but post on tumblr, boycott, and fucking repost and comment on my anonymous backup titok account.
I should be doing more, but no one is listening to me and I can't disagree with my sister. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
I doubt anyone will read this, but writing this for the tumblr void is better than writing in a journal. FUCK

The British government says that inflation isn't "that bad".
I have coeliac disease and am physically unable to digest gluten or wheat. I have to eat food made of corn flour, and it's already four times more expensive than food made out of wheat flour. Inflation has made it damn near impossible to find ordinarily priced food that I can actually fucking eat, because all the cheap alternative stuff designed to help people save money have a shit ton of wheat it.
Next time the government wants to tell me that inflation isn't "that bad", I want them to live on a gluten free diet for a week with an average weekly wage. Maybe then they'd fucking understand that just because abled people can cope with inflation, it doesn't mean disabled people can.
Fuck the UK government. Fuck the monarchy as well.

watari’s internally all like “why doesn’t L ever get out and get to know other people?” when he didn’t do SHIT about L avoiding socializing with others when he was a kid.
fucker just watched L and didn’t interfere or help at ALL except when it came to molding L into the justice system’s greatest weapon

I realized my disconnect when it comes to talking about one piece, and why I always say I like talking to dudebros more even if they're the worst... Is, I like to analyze literature. I like to analyze the source material and the canonic information. Shipping and stuff is for fun but I see it separately. The intersect bc canon inspires fanon but fanon CANNOT change canon.. I don't mix the two things especially not when I'm doing analysis... So I'll say things that are factual and ppl who are stuck in their headcanons or personal biases will think I'm saying something bad. What I'm saying isn't good or bad. It's not judgmental of the character I'm talking about. Nor is it a bias bc I like them/dislike them. I'm analyzing odas writing and his intentions as an author and what he's trying to say and portray. Most ppl online are too caught up in headcanons and personal bias while having no media comprehension and they think that I'm attacking their made up fanon stuff..... Noooo..... You're over there playing pretend and I'm over here doing analysis. We are not doing remotely near the same activity. They don't always need to intersect. Anyways it's hard to have genuine analytical conversations with ppl fully indulged in fandom and fanon. The only group of ppl who doesn't do that are dudebros but also... They get hung up on other stuff that doesn't matter too. Idkkkkkkkkk.

now you might be thinking hey casey don’t you find it odd that ted lasso wrapped up half its arcs in one rapid-fire epiphany montage? and that despite the increased runtime, so many important moments informing character arc happen offscreen in a way that feels more lazy than artful? and yes. yes i do find it odd. ok moving along

WTF is up with all these takes like “[extremely horrible and totalitarian fascist dictator/regime] dislikes the conception of Israel, therefore I believe that all their previous actions are actually defensible.” Do you guys actually care about marginalized folks, or is your activism purely selective and comprised of “facts” and “opinions” that conveniently fit into your narrow-minded world view? Because some of you genuinely seem to believe that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is an actual moral political stance to take. Guess what? It’s not. A government opposing something that you also oppose in doesn’t suddenly mean that you get to claim that they’re “misunderstood” or you were “lied to about them” or they're “actually right”. Your performative activism directly comes at the expense of oppressed people.

I am angry about everything!!!#normally I can keep it in check but tonight it just one of those nights when I cannot. and here we are#also on a much more micro level!

I honestly believe a lot of the pro-Palestine people on the left would be neo-Nazis if they were right wing because the amount of antisemitic propaganda you lot just eat up without an ounce of critical thought because it has the tag "Palestine" on it is genuinely horrifying.
#v.txt#antisemitism#im not saying you have to pick a side you should care about palestinians AND the innocent israelis being caught in crossfire#you can't say all palestinians shouldn't be to blame for hamas's actions (which they shouldn't if that wasn't clear)#and then say it doesn't matter if innocent israelis and israelian children are murdered because their government is bad#i know i said i don't like posting stuff like this but the 'propaganda' superbowl ad people are vagueing about#was a 'stop jewish hate' ad. it was not funded by israel. it was a non-profit organization with no proof it was made by zionists#and seeing people say 'there was something mentioning 'antisemitism' without any context behind it' makes me want to fucking puke.#antisemitism has skyrocketed exponentially since oct 7 with innocent jewish people being blamed for the actions of israel#and after the superbowl ad the entire internet has taken it as an invitation to publically broadcast how much they hate jewish people#you lot would rather literally spread blood libel rhoretic than just LISTEN to jewish people for once and it's so infuriatingly sad to see#all that im asking is just stop staying in your echo chamber that constantly spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories#and learn how antisemitic rhetoric actually spreads from jewish people talking about it instead of ignoring it like it doesn't exist#if you refuse to do that because you think not being antisemitic is contradictory to supporting palestine#then don't even bother saying your blog is safe for jewish people. it never will be until you stop reblogging from neo-nazis
