The more I watch c2 over again the more I turn over and over in my mind how demi attraction works for me. Like marisha is a very attractive person no matter who she's portraying or what she's doing, but I am only actively attracted to her when she is playing Beau or related to Beau in my mind. It's not that I think she is Beau - I'm very aware of the importance of Beau being a poc, whatever the misgivings I have about that choice - but it's more like the attitude. The persona. It wouldn't work from just anyone. I never connected to Vi in Arcane or really Korra as a character despite their embodiment of many of the same mannerisms and core ideals. I am attracted to Clara Oswald but not her actress, Jenna Coleman.

And I think this is why I'm content to self describe as demi before lesbian even though both are important to me. It really is about the specific gravity of a person, not just their confidence but what's behind it and how they wield it.

Sorry I’ve gotten quiet all of a sudden, I just learned about Ren'py and am cheerfully abandoning Novelty over it! Somehow, learning to code is easier than forcing Novelty’s outdated abandonware not to crash halfway through a sing loop of Toybox due to the sheer amount of character assets I want to use.

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

in spirit i am a 7th grade boy

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

those!!! are!!! his!!!! tits!!! be gentle 👉👈

If Pikachu were real, it would not be a very pleasant animal. An enormous mouse that shocks you like an electric eel. I would run from these beasts

i was so good at this water sort mobile game and i’m stuck on level like 348 and i’m convinced this one is impossible. i was stuck on it for weeks like a year ago and then quit and came back to it recently with a new hunger and vengeance and it’s kicking my ass i swear

I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight
