Alison Bechdel

#alison Bechdel #dykes to watch out for #ive been thinking about this image a lot partly because that right there is what we like to call a shared experience #but also because of the god damn gender of this dyke in particular #dtwof holds a special place in my heart because as a comic strip about queer/butch experiences it feels like a rare insight into how wlw #felt in the 80s-00s and especially over that progression. its not about traumaposting or sending a message #it was just dykes going and not to play into a cliche here but i think thats beautiful #just lesbians living their lives #i always think of it like if the f.r.i.e.n.d.s. cast was replaced by a group of gay ppl living politically charged lives #only without making the gay ppl the butt of the joke lol #ive forgotten what i was trying to sau with these tags but basically these two lil panels feel like a lot like home to me #gender #oh no i used the dreaded quotation marks in my tags and it has ruined the order of the tags #the 8th tag was supposed to say something like 'its just dykes going 'this reminds me of a dyke i know' ...'#7th tag not 8th i cant count #the point is #i tried

Ardbert clearly having the time of his life (in spite of complaining that Thancred is not being very sporting)

#or time of his death to be technically correct #I have had a theory that of the 3 WoL dialogue options at conversation branches #The first option is the most 'ardbert' and the bottom is the most 'fray'#that's ardbert while he was alive of course #the point is #ardbert seeks the pleasure of fighting for its own sake and no other reason #lamitt doing the silent callout because they have Serious Business #there is a LOT going on in this entire cutscene #I always forget Thancred fought in-his-prime-Ardbert #ffxiv #ffxiv spoilers #heavensward #ffxiv: heavensward #ffxivedit #gamingedit #lamitt #ardbert #thancred #thancred waters

Like, I'm sure Tolkien would make Narsil a sword that belongs to good guys and stuff, but the idea of Narsil being Maedhros sword (maybe even made by Fëanor himself) makes me so rabid.

Like, Elros taking the sword that caused so much pain, that belongs to someone he both loves and hates, and makes it into part of his own kingdom for the purpose of good.

That sword being then broken by Sauron and finally used to defeat him in its brokenness (something, something, the redemption in battle that Mae never gets, something, something, symbolism).

And its shard then reforged into Anduril.

Flame of the West.

Morvaluation ch.6:

#morvay KNOWS these two. he KNOWS kuya can foxfire him on the spot #so either he is super unaware of danger or he just doesnt care enough to NOT badmouth kuya #no-fear-morvay!!!!#you hit him once and he yelps #hit him twice he'll laugh. or moan. idk honestly #the point is #i love how he'll yell at the dangerous void regardless of consequences #he's over 70 years old and he aint putting up with that #that's the way i like to think it went down. maybe morv truly didnt know it was kuya?? POINT STILL STANDS #MANS TELLS IT LIKE IT IS #morvay #quincy #kuya

Sometimes I see people complaining about Ash and Eiji, saying how they are the definition of queerbait just because they don't do what you would normally expect a mlm couple to do

The thing about mlm ships is that they're too sexualised

You usually know the endgame when you see two boys having unexplainable sexual tension and it doesn't even take long to get them there, usualy by third chapter

Now, there are some good anime that potray healthy and normal mlm relationships, but people now mostly just read BL manhwa where relationships are mostly toxic or done for fanservice

And then fans like that decide to watch Banana Fish because someone told them they have a cute relationship (they usually ignore TWs but whatever) and decide to shit over them because they didn't even have a proper kiss like???

Do they need to fuck on screen to prove their love

Sometimes we forget that most of BL boys are young and sure, boys IRL do think about sex a lot but they also have feelings and want to love which most media doesn't show

Ash had trauma that could have been healed (maybe not comepletely, but enough to at least try and live a normal life) if he decided to live, but he didn't, and we can't just know what he would've done with Eiji if he went to Japan

Eiji is sweet and shy, we don't see much from his perspective, and we also don't really know much about him and why he was interested in Ash from the very beginning, you could describe it him being mysterious or it's just author's laziness lol (motives might be better explained in the manga where Eiji is a little more realistic to real boys)

And then you see those two just enjoying each other's presence and say YEAH THATS QUEERBAIT

???

When did it become unusual for two people to just enjoy having each other, it's not like you and your partner have this akward sexual tension moment every single second of your time lmao.

“Burton Guster has been my best friend since we were five,”

NO NO NO PLEASE NO LET ME LIVE

“And maybe, just maybe, if any of you can look yourselves in the mirror and know you’ve been half as good a friend to someone as Gus has been to me,”

SOMEONE SEDATE ME

“Well, you too can be considered great. Give it up for my best friend Burton Guster.” — Shawn Spencer, Psych, 3x06, Murder … ? Anyone … ? Anyone … ? Bueller … ?

crying. platonic shus is the ultimate friendship. never have i ever seen a show portray the importance and value of true friendship SO FUCKING WELL. 8 SEASONS & 3* MOVIES?? my fucking goat fr.

(*i remember watching an interview n i cant remember if it was dule hill (gus) or james roday rodriguez (shawn), i think it was the latter, who said the script for the 4th movie was being worked on, they just needed a studio to pick it up for filming (hinting that peacock wasnt sure they wanted to do another one) BUT THEY DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT I COULD BE WRONG)

#blabber ¡!#psych #psych usa #psych tv #shawn spencer #burton guster #i aspire to have a friendship like theirs #its withstood the test of time and every time a sweet moment happens i tear up #LIKE OH MY GOD IM GUS #WHERE’S MY SHAWN 🗣️#actually tho i do think i’ve found mine :]#THE POINT IS #shus is the epitome of bros before hoes #and 4lifers #and platonic soulmates #and twin flames #argue with the fucking wall

Sentences or Sketches or Something... Sunday

Hello strangers! It's been a long time since I last did a progress post of any kind - thank you everyone who's continued to tag me so I don't get left behind! And thanks to @noblecorgi, @alexalexinii, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @blackberrysummerblog, @thewholelemon, @mooncello, @monbons, @prettygoododds, @shrekgogurt, and @youarenevertooold for tagging me, today. (I feel so loved! <3) I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone's up to.

It's still Sunday in my neck of the woods, though just barely. And yes, I've used my "sentences" banner, but... It's a bit more chaotic than that. Honestly, I wasn't sure about doing a post today because I'm a bit all over the place, but then I figured... eh, why not? I am all over the place LOL.

So here's your snippet from the collective efforts of Jo's creativity, lately, under the cut. (Because I ramble...)

On the Haunting of Simon Snow... I haven't forgotten about it! Nor is it abandoned. As I keep telling anyone who will listen, I have a rough draft, which basically amounts to an outline, meaning I have way too much figured out to just let the story fade away. XD I attempted to work on Chapter 2 earlier this month, and ran into some roadblocks - of the architectural variety.

So I've started to research manor houses and English estates like mad. I'm going to do the thing. I'm going to figure out Pitch Manor. Why? Because my brain won't let me gloss over paltry details such as the location of Simon in the grand scheme of the house, or how and where the roof attaches and where that tree is going to be. It's annoying, but I figure... This is a fun puzzle, too. One I hope to be able to share with the fandom at large once it's complete.

This little snippet is from an early design I've since scrapped (but you never know what might come around, again.)

"That's great, Jo, but how about some sentences?"

Okay. Ahem. Here's... some Simon sentences... that have just been scribbled out. *cough*

I sit there and listen to the man on the other side as he blathers on about extra fees associated with estate deliveries due to distance and blah blah bloody fucking blah. I wish he’d just say it. Just say 'this is the Pitch Manor tax.' No one ever does. But everyone charges it.

I HAVE WRITTEN SEE THERE'S PROOF.

Okay, moving on...

The other thing I'm working on is illustrations for @mooncello's beautiful fanfic, "Lost Boys." I just posted art from Chapter 1 here, and I'm working on art for Chapter 2, now. The story is stuffed to the gills with absolutely gorgeous imagery, so choosing what to illustrate is a challenge. Hopefully it all works out, and in the meantime, here are a couple doodles.

(I was telling Heath last night... this morning...? about how all illustrations start out as baby sketches XD These are the little babes in the creative nursery, basically. Also I have never posted baby sketches before and I'm kinda nervous about it. But. Well. >.> )

THERE YOU HAVE IT. A couple of my reasons for being so entirely absent from all other aspects of the fandom. (Also I got hit with the flu super hard, but doing better now!)

Tags for future wipsdays/hello's! @leithillustration, @artsyunderstudy (thank you for listening to me ramble about Pitch Manor), @erzbethluna, @nightimedreamersworld, @cutestkilla (thank you for also listening to me ramble about Pitch Manor sorry I'm reworking it again XD), @angelsfalling16, @fatalfangirl, @hushed-chorus (thank you for being my secret-garden-enabler XD), @rimeswithpurple, @best--dress, @whatevertheweather, @ileadacharmedlife, @scribble-tier, @imagineacoolusername, @brilla-brilla-estrellita, @alleycat0306, @ivelovedhimthroughworse, @tender-ministrations, @katmiscellanious, @anxious-m3ss, @bubble-gumhead, @ebbpettier, @facewithoutheart, @bazzybelle, @theimpossibledemon, @aristocratic-otter, @ic3-que3n, @palimpsessed, @raenestee

POOR TOKOYAMI, HE WAS SCARED TO DEATHHH

But his reaction after finding out it was an illusion from Camie... >still sad though, because Hawks prolly had such an impact on him<

I'm so tired of how much of the tumblr experience is just people I don't know reblogging my happy little fandom posts with "well, actually—" and sometimes I do just snap and actually respond to them. This isn't constructive but, your honour, I'm being provoked.

Sometimes they even make interesting points, and I still have to block them because they think this is a constructive way to talk to strangers about their fanfic ideas.

But half the time, they're not even right. They're confidently wrong and they're correcting me on a post about what would make a fun fanfic.

Listen. I am presenting a fic idea. It is the realm of make believe. I am playing a happy little game of pretend. That's why I introduce these posts with "there should be a fic where," or "the world needs more fics where..." I am signifying to you, my peers in this social activity, that this is a creative exercise and we are playing.

If you join in by telling me I am playing wrong, and actually the idea I presented is bad, you are being rude. Go make your own post with your own better ideas.

You engage constructively with posts like this by saying "yes, and," rather than "well, actually."

#tozette.txt #you CAN kill the hollow knight and then fight the pure vessel in godhome on the same file. that's canon.#the lore makes that internally consistent because it considers godhome pv and absrad different entities to their waking world counterparts #but these are tag complaints because there are many versions of canon and it's honestly not even the point #the point is #why are people incapable of engaging in a fun and constructive way??????#the other day someone pointed out in my notes that the pure vessel and absrad aren't linked to the thk/radiance fight #which I didn't know #but they were talking about how they wanted a dreamers wake up ending for canon and engaging constructively with my post! so SOME people ca #you can provide new information without just being rude holy shit #stop it stop it stop it #bites you bites you bites you

Love is when you know you can trust that person on first sight. Love is when you get hypnotised by that person being miraculous. Love is when you think that person has been pampered and spoiled during his entire life, but you try to keep him out of dangerous things to protect his innocence. Love is when that person presents everything you're scared of, but still trust him. Love is when you make fun of that person's cooking and sleeping habits. Love is when you put your entire trust on that person, even though you've been mistreated and used your whole life. Love is when you think low on yourself but as soon as that person also thinks low on himself, you're there to show him how great he is. Love is when you're too depressed to take care of yourself, but that person will do that for you. Love is when you're scared of everybody's touch except for his. Love is when you don't care what happens to you as long as that person is fine. Love is when you give up on exposing goverment secrets just to protect that person. Love is when you give up on your life to keep that person safe.

The "While you were busy being heterosexual I was studying the blade" meme implies that sword skills are inherently homosexual. Likewise, dual wielding swords has been commonly used as a euphemism for bisexuality. Ergo, the use of three swords can be interpreted as a declaration of polyamory. In this essay I will

#while you were busy being heterosexual I was studying the blade #dual weilding #three sword style #sword #sword skills #ok you got me this is just about zoro from one piece #seriously who else wields three swords?#anyway #what im saying here is that zoro has two hands #I specifically ship Zulu and Zosan but it works with other ships too #the point is #polyamorous roronoa zoro #roronoa zoro
