shoutout to ppl with trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder). love yall. remember you’re valid whether or not you have significant/noticeable hair loss and whether or not your hair loss is easy to hide. you’re valid whether you choose to hide your hair loss or not. you’re valid no matter what you look like. i hope everyone reading this who pulls their hair can get to a place where their pulling does not cause them any distress. sincerely, someone with trichotillomania

Its absolutely no coincidence that the people being sent baseless sexual assault accusations against predstrogen have, from what I've seen, been young transmascs.

The terfs behind the harassment campaign are so brazenly trying to prey on anybody they reckon might have any transmisogynist tendencies and are trying to use that to sow discord in the trans community. They see transmasculine people as potential avenues for recruitment (and eventual detransition) and it's extremely fucking important that the people being sent these anons do not fall headfirst for the bait. They want you to go 'uh oh, guess trans women are sex pests after all' and that to stick with you and fester, and turn that seed of prejudice into the continued harm of transfem people.

If you want to be a meaningful ally to transfem people right now you have to be vigilant for this shit, and correct it where you see it. If you think being used as an angle of recruitment by bigoted harassment is gross, imagine how it would feel to be the damn focus of the harassment.

I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.

Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.

Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.

It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.

thinking about. transfems. and trans girls. and how cool they are.. literally if you're a tgirl or girl-adjacent transgender person i want you to know that. you are so wonderful and beautiful and kind and talented.. we need you on this site now more than ever, and im so sorry about literally everything that's happened here. none of you deserve to be treated like this; you deserve so much better, and i'm sincerely hoping that other people (especially people with power to instate significant change that affects a lot of people) will understand this and work towards making this a safer platform for all of you. please don't let anything that's happening right now on this literal hellsite make you think that you're any less than amazing; i love all of you so so so much <333 please stay safe out there!!!

Phenomenal.

Absolutely phenomenal

Web event releases and literally all it is, is Arlecchino killing 2 (3) men. Congrats. here's your rewards!

I saw a tweet earlier this morning that said

"genshin saw people mad at chiori for throwing a man out of her shop and their honest reaction was making arlecchino kill one in her teaser"

AND I CACKLED SO LOUD so seeing this now, I just had to share it with you all

shout out to all the aros who have a complicated relationship with love, or who don’t know how they feel about it at all—including those who don’t want to find out, who are happy letting it be a mystery. we are just as valued and wonderful, all aros are. happy aro visibility day everyone <3

... why he sit like this

in the most normal way possible if the idea of there being multiple gasters becomes the new popular fandom theory or even remotely canon i might genuinely pop a blood vessel

shout out to trans people who still use their given name

How we feeling Beatles people?

No bc fuck tim but it really really bothers me how people ignore his growth like he used to be an asshole and I’ll give tim Stans one thing: now he’s so so so stale but what I disagree with is that this staleness is bc nobody likes him like it’s in fact the exact opposite where everyone likes him so much they dont want to do anything. Even when it’s him surface level challenging Bruce it’s when everyone else is doing it too; but he’s still the backbone of the fam! Etc. and it’s so irritating bc him gaining more compassion and empathy even for people he doesn’t fw is so fun to watch and that’s why the captain boomerang thing was so out of character! (Not in a from the author way but in a tim wouldn’t do that and he and Bruce both knew it which is why it went down like it did. Same way dick killing joker was ooc; not in fanon sense but in a he would hate himself forever for this sense) and speaking of that it’s such an interesting mirror to Bruce who genuinely believes that everyone can grow vs Tim’s it doesn’t matter if they grow it’s not my decision to make like it’s the same but it’s not AND WITH CASS’ IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO GROW I WONT DO IT! like ugh. And anyways even when people acknowledge it they boil it down to “Janet and Jack taught him that the capitalist pigs that they are” like no. This is who tim was. Tim was the kind of guy who’d blame a dead kid for dying. That’s ok. Also Janet and Jack? Please reread anything involving them that’s not a fic like Jack had anger issues and they were both aloof at worst like relax.

So you know how that girl, Ali, crawled out of her window and then got stuck on the ledge outside her apartment? And how Dick raced up there to save her? And how she started to fall but Dick caught her? And how Ali was so amazed by Dick that she said maybe she could be a Lady Nightwing when she was older?

The New Titans #71

Yeah. I just think it would be fun if she actually committed to that and started learning parkour as a way to get over her fear of heights. Then she'd get some experience in martial arts as a way to protect her little brother from their abusive dad. Her whole thing would be acquiring new skills as a way to prevent herself from feeling stuck and helpless. The very idea of not being prepared would give her anxiety.

She would eventually cross paths with Dick again, and after a series of events, Dick would take her on as another one of his protégés. Thus, Ladywing would be born.

No but listen. Ali would have a fear of being unprepared, and Dick is always prepared, so I feel like Dick could not only teach her how to be prepared for a multitude of situations, he could also teach her how to use the things around to her advantage in case she ever was unprepared. She needs a battery but doesn't have one? Dick will teach how to make a battery with a potato. She needs a weapon but doesn't have one? Dick will teach her that anything can be used as a weapon.

See? Fun!

was talking to the gf about how lucifer is like not remotely like the other lords of sin ?? like he’s supposed to be prideful but he’s anything but. he has a massive inferiority complex, really. he’ll brag about himself but he doesn’t seem that into it really.

i mean, if anyone’s prideful here it’s… alastor……… HMMMMMMM

something about this one is just.so.cool

tbqh it's weird as hell to me that there's this given understanding about fictional aliens that they'd be surprised or confused by adaptability, but like, as far as we know and understand that is a fundamental quality of life itself not life on earth. In order to become a spacefaring species any spacefaring alien would've had to survive whatever space threw at them for billions of years as well as whatever their planet in specific threw at them, even the 'good' planet we know about is pretty fucking hostile to life. It's just implausible to me that like, among all the possible sapient species we'd be unique or interesting for the level to which we have the ability to adapt to situations, something that any biological creature of any origin would also need to survive long enough as a species to figure out how space works.

My "conspiracy theory" for Henry I. and Empress Matilda is the same for Aemon and Rhaenys: both fathers intended to adopt their grandsons as heirs.
