the modern age is very scary to me because of the internet. employers go through your personal accounts and form some of their opinions based on your outside of work life on whether or not you're a viable candidate. they look through your personal profiles unrelated to work and use it to determine part of your viability based on that. that is very scary to me, not because i've done anything bad, but because i keep work and play very separate and i think they should remain separate.
I just saw another ask calling Gemini au Donnie afab, and obviously he does have XX chromosomes in your au (or the turtle/mutant equivalent at least?), but if afab means assigned female at birth and Donnie and Leo were assigned male at birth by Big Mama.... Does that technically make the two of them amab trans men???
Or.... amak? assigned male at kidnapping?
LMAO yeah. I always grapple with the terms because I'm like. WELL... THEY TECHNICALLY... WEREN'T ASSIGNED FEMALE AT BIRTH LMAO,,,, they're both, technically speaking, amab, so yes, they are in fact both amab trans men lmao.
And they weren't TECHNICALLY kidnapped... so... amaa? assigned male at... adoption??? u w u
pondering on a meta diving into Gale's abstract brand of selflessness (willingness to go away to a corner of the world to die so that none of the faceless masses will be harmed by his mistake) vs his personal selfishness (willingness to stick by tav despite being repulsed by tiefling camp murder + general vocal approval or interest in accumulating more power) and Gale's status as someone who is good aligned but generally ineffectual at enforcing actual good (the way that wyll or karlach will actually leave the party) which is fascinating for a fairly good-aligned person. just love when the Good Guy is actually kind of fucking weird. edit: tumblr cut off my tags Okay. and how all of this ties back in an interesting way to his relationship and power imbalance with mystra. he was wronged, deeply, but he also desires still that ... status / closeness to divinity in some way, by her influence. Gale thinks that he would be a better god simply by virtue of his mortality but he cannot escape the appeal of holding himself apart from others and being more than, greater than, something closer to godliness and thus inherently removed from mortal values and standards of right and wrong, which the gods themselves don't adhere to in the same way.
“Where are you going?” He heard your small drowsy voice ask from the darkness. He didn’t answer as he silently started putting his boots back on. “Come back under the covers and cuddle with me.”
Cuddle? He was Billy Hargrove. Billy Hargrove doesn’t do cuddles. So why did he find himself pausing before kicking off his shoes to lay with you again?
still thinking about why community fics are so well written on average like theres gotta be some kind of reason right? whats so different about the fandom compared to everything else
Hi I was just reading some old post and I just stumbled across the fact John Fox apparently not only Wally descendant but Kyle also???, where the fuck is that imply or said or even hinted at? cause that kinda hilarious.
@givemewallywestorgivemedeath will probably have more information, but it was established in Justice League One Million, apparently. They told me that ages and ages ago, but I still haven't gotten around to reading it (rip), so I don't have any panels or screenshots to share.
Though if Kyle's gonna ever have kids, the writers need to get on that. Someone's gotta break the curse dooming all that man's canonical love interests or we're never gonna get John Fox or Cary Wren. And if Jenni doesn't get her Lantern buddy, I'm going to be very sad.
funny thing is that genuinely canonically talon is bi with an immense preference for women to the point where he cant really imagine any long term stuff with a man... but since ive whisked him away to the brain zone its like ok but what if he was safe and happy with another guyyy and meeeeee 🫶
“I used to leave on a Monday morning, get to Keith's in the evening, and then leave on a Friday night and go home. Keith was very comfortable to live with. Nellcôte was like a nightclub, but a very cool one. It wasn't all shouting and everything. Keith used to read books and sleep in the sun. He still does the same thing. He reads great, thick books and then nods off. Then he wakes up and carries on. He loves the sun. He did then, too. He would always have jeans on and his top off.”
The colors of the copper on blackberry dye seem to have shifted from maroon to a very rich milk chocolate brown--which I will hardly complain about, since that's a hard brown to get. I do hope I get something more permanently reddish/purplish with alum--that's what I'll try next. I'm just waiting for the 9 pounds of raw fleece to arrive.
Last night I carded a lot of that blackberry dyed fleece and then put it on the blending board with about half of the white (which was the previous distaff dressing) as a little stripe to one side. Idk, just curious how it'll turn out and seemed more interesting to spin that way. Carding first definitely helps with consistency--both colors were willowed first and put on the blending board, but only the brown was carded as well, and it is much easier to keep smooth and least kind of even.
The one improvement of this phone camera over my old one is that it has a timer setting, so I can actually show where my hands normally are (sometimes anyway). Fairly comfortable although my distaff hand is starting to cramp. Might just be one of those days or might be too heavy for me, but the shape at least is good.
You can probably see that the white is still all over the place, but the brown is pretty even, just with lumps still on occasion. Also, the new height of this spindle means it's perfect for lap spinning rather than impossible to lap spin with, so I'm very happy about that.
