#then somebody out there loves you
Text
"How could we call ourselves pirates if we weren't ready to face everything the world has to throw at us?"
The Heart Pirates set out with five members, this time. Their first mate has a vested interest in keeping his kids alive.
The North Blue won't know what hit it.
(This fic is part of a series and won't make as much sense without context.)
The sequel to Somewhere to be Safe is out! The goal is to update weekly, but we'll see how that goes. For new readers: this is a Corazon Lives AU with a focus on family feels. This fic will have slightly more plot than past episodes, but it is still mostly about the characters.

Tall trans girl reading this: you aren't too tall for heels. If you want to wear them, wear them proud. There is nothing more spectacular than a tall woman in heels, and nobody can ever take that away from you, not even yourself 🩷🪻
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#mtf#nonbinary#trans positivity#honestly my favourite kind of woman is somebody who's told 'arent you too tall for those?' when she wears heels...#...and the next day she shows up in even TALLER heels#sometimes womanhood is a huge 'fuck you' to people who don't get who you are i think#I LOVE YOU WOMEN... 💐💐💐💐🫶#(also this includes all type of heeled shoe. heeled boots are a great choice to start out ime)#(if you want to practoce wearing heels without Wearing Heels get platform boots imo)#(i think a big reason i can wear actual heels is that i wear heeled platform boots daily)#(and it really helped me get used to how heels feel without the fear of heels that are really thin)

when the horrors catch up and you take an evening off to batch-process
#obi-wan kenobi#anakin skywalker#ahsoka tano#maybe obi-wan just read the outline for the next wip#why do i love to torture him so#one of my fav fanfic genres has to be meta fic horror#just imagine. how deeply disturbing it must be to find out you're a fictional character#somebody has *intentionally* written all those horrors onto you#and it wasn't even the guy who created you#he did his part. but the ppl who love it most to ruin your life and see you suffer are your fans#it's not enough that there's prob a lot of jedi rpf around in the gffa already. scarred obi-wan for life#lmao drawing anakin like this gave me so many flashbacks to my old ocs where almost every male character had that hair#also i have a job interview in one hour dsdsfhjgj#my art#prahacat draws

So if you follow me (and aren't just stopping by because you saw one of my funney viralposts), you probably know that I've been writing a bunch of fanfiction for Stranger Things, which is set in rural Indiana in the early- to mid-eighties. I've been working on an AU where (among other things) Robin, a character confirmed queer in canon, gets integrated into a friend group made up of a number of main characters. And I got a comment that has been following me around in the back of my mind for a while. Amidst fairly usual talk about the show and the AU and what happens next, the commenter asked, apparently in genuine confusion, "why wouldn't Robin just come out to the rest of the group yet? They would be okay with it."
I did kind of assume, for a second or two, that this was a classic case of somebody confusing what the character knows with what the author/audience knows. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like it embodies a real generational shift in thinking that I hadn't even managed to fully comprehend until this comment threw it into sharp perspective.
Because, my knee-jerk reaction was to reply to the comment, "She hasn't come out to these people she's only sort-of known for less than a year because it's rural Indiana. In the nineteen-eighties." and let that speak for itself. Because for me and my peers, that would speak for itself. That would be an easy and obvious leap of logic. Because I grew up in a world where you assumed, until proven otherwise, that the general society and everyone around you was homophobic. That it was unsafe to be known to be queer, and to deliberately out yourself required intention and forethought and courage, because you would get negative reactions and you had to be prepared for the fallout. Not from everybody! There were always exceptions! But they were exceptions. And this wasn't something you consciously decided, it wasn't an individual choice, it wasn't an individual response to trauma, it wasn't individual. It was everybody. It was baked in, and you didn't question it because it was so inherently, demonstrably obvious. It was Just The Way The World Is. Everybody can safely be assumed to be homophobic until proven otherwise.
And what this comment really clarified for me, but I've seen in a million tiny clashing assumptions and disconnects and confusions I've run into with The Kids These Days, is that a lot of them have grown up into a world that is...the opposite. There are a lot of queer kids out there who are assuming, by default, that everybody is not homophobic, until proven otherwise. And by and large, the world is not punishing them harshly for making that assumption, the way it once would have.
The whole entire world I knew changed, somehow, very slowly and then all at once. And yes, it does make me feel like a complete space alien just arrived to Earth some days. But also, it makes me feel very hopeful. This is what we wanted for ourselves when we were young and raw and angrily shoving ourselves in everyone's faces to dare them to prove themselves the exception, and this is what I want for The Kids These Days.
(But also please, please, Kids These Days, do try to remember that it has only been this way since extremely recently, and no it is not crazy or pathetic or irrational or whatever to still want to protect yourself and be choosy about who you share important parts of yourself with.)
#also Kids These Days please if nobody's told you: you can't send cheques through email#and if somebody sends you one through email They Are A Scammer and Yes They Are Scamming You#that's not related I just am constantly tearing my hair out about how many people of ALL AGES don't know that#something something something invoking the fuck word in the hopes it will keep this poast from search#i love how the internet has created Magic Words Of Power#unfortunately most of those words perform the action of 'summon jackass idiots to comment on your post'#i am paraphrasing the comment that was left on my AU fic because I am too lazy to go looking for it right now but#it was very similar to that wording#this is just a thing that has been rattling around in my brain and it was finally smoothed out and polished enough to come out

don't mean to, ahem, gatekeep, but it is funny (i'm anhedonic) seeing your "freak", your "degenerate", your "gendertrash boygirl fagdyke ravenclaw derse dreamer intp proship dni" and so forth be used by people who still really really really very transparently want those bad freaks who don't get a say in whether they take that identity on to be exiled from society forever. in which the definition of "freak" as ever continues to be "trans woman who has reblogged hentai". something about how hypervisibility begets a certain state of hyperagency that transfems are constantly policed on, the smallest little scintilla of an act distilled into pure intent; incurable tumorgirl that must be excised. something about how the antithesis to this dichotomy of active agents and passive subjects has rendered from within itself those subjects reclaiming the very words used in that policing. that post about buying a mug from target that says it/its traumadog on it came true too early for me
#i think i am very very jaded in a way only having been the victim of a callout makes you#but somebody followed me the other day and their dni (yawn. btw) had “good freaks ily. bad freaks this love does not apply to you”#saying the quiet part out megaphone or whatever.

[ID: two owl house drawings based on memes. The first one shows Lilith in her season 2B design sketched over the big bang theory "love is in the air? Wrong! Gad leak" meme. She's staring at the viewer with one eyebrow raised and her glasses are opaque.
The second meme is a redraw of a king of the hill scene, split into two panels. The first panel shows Belos holding up a sack of coins with magic, saying "here's 300 snails to break up with hunter". The second panel shows willow in her s2B design pointing at him and saying "save that money for our wedding". End ID]
I did two things today, and that was really beef it while making a sandwich, and draw shitty owl house memes, and baby I'm all out of sandwiches to post (@toh-described)
#the owl house#toh#lilith clawthorne#willow park#toh belos#toh meme#huntlow#aroace lilith#give me more memes to redraw toh characters as this is the most art I've gotten done in weeks LMAO#the second drawing is very specifically inspired by a doodle i did in school of willow and belos where i labeled them as in-laws#and while it's so so far from canon (belos is just some evil shadowy figure to willow and she doesn't exist to him-#-as anything other than an unnotable companion to Luz/hunter or. yknow. depending on how s3 pans out 👀 wittewife parallel)#but them being bitchy in-laws is so funny to me you guys. it's so fucking funny#and somebody's definitely done love is in the air gas leak w/ Lilith before but i couldn't not do my own#I've been wanting to draw her all week she's just one of the ones i really enjoy drawing#she's got big round glasses and poofy hair and a long face and goth girl lips how can i not love drawing her. AND she's hot as fuck#like hello?#anyway yeah aroace Lilith and willow vs belos content be upon ye

You Matter To Me
Sara Bareilles (ft. Jason Mraz)

◃◃ II ▹▹
Noah and Cody have a quick chat.
Cody really didn't expect to like Noah as much as he does. He also didn't expect Noah to make him this happy. That's why it hurts when he realizes Noah's better off without him. Without his baggage, without his adversity, without his mess. Man what a mess it is. He wouldn't blame Noah in the least if he thought it was too much to handle and left without looking back.
Fortunately, Cody matters too much to Noah to let him go so easily. Cody couldn't be more grateful. Maybe one day he'll learn to tell him.
#ellipsis are a guys best friend! love those things!#anyway WOW was this a struggle. Words are so hard sometimes#like OBVIOUSLY I had this whole event drafted and I knew what was gonna happen but the dialogue I figured out as I went#Is it good?? Do you get it??

I hope you become addicted to saying things and... having to matter to someone#this is also half waitress propaganda. You Matter To Me was written for waitress and its SUCH a good musical please you have to believe me

You know, I feel like other trans people might get this, but it's honestly kind of refreshing when a cis person has, like, undeniable tboy/tgirl/whatever swag. It's like when you come across somebody who speaks the same language as you and you only find out when they start speaking it, too.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#all this to say that we are existing on a rock hurling through space#and this universe is going to collide into another and does it all truly matter in the end?#a lot of this is based on ideas we have about what constitutes certain people and i think it can be a fun observation#so long as you do not inherently ascribe certain traits as being indicative of who somebody Is#it can be amusing when you're SO confident that somebody is a certain way until you realize how Wrong you were#the amusement for me only comes because it's like... 'you tried your best to box somebody and you FAILED lmao'#and in a weird way it's kind of comforting because it reminds me that we all come into this world with bias that Will be challenged...#...so the best thing you can do is recognize those biases and then try to overcome them through great effort...#...so yes maybe i did think that cis dude had tboy swag but. that's not inherently his problem you know?#it probably just means he's confident in his manhood in a way that reminds me of the trans men* i know and love#i noticed that in him and it reminded me of my friends who are trans so i think 'oh! maybe that's why he's giving off those vibes!'#so while i won't treat him any differently before or after finding out i was wrong i'm still going to appreciate the fact that...#...he and i are literally just Vibing on the same planet and we both don't have time for petty arguing about manhood#i'll acknowledge what inspired those thoughts in me but that is Not his problem and that's good and beautiful actually#i don't always mind the tboy/tgirl swag meme just so long as you don't treat it like an Inherent Trans Experience Only Trans People Have#just recognize where those ideas are inspired from and it's fine <3#sometimes you will be Wrong and that's actually fucking neutral <<3#anyway rant over i just think this is /generally/ harmless and fun#like astrology. sometimes you just look up your star sign without ascribing your Entire Life to it <3#i think what i lot of people mean by saying a cis person has tboy/tgirl swag is just that...#...that cis person has an understanding of themself that comes from deep introspection that isn't necessarily expected of cis folk...#...but it is often something trans people do as part of our exploration of gender...#how is this the FIRST POST to reach tag limit... ask me for more thoughts if you want lol!

I love to hear what people say about Youtube Drama* but it's SO tacky when it gets so offbase that the posts people make start to be about completely off topic infighting within the Watcher fanbase
#but god it IS fun to read about this kind of thing#asterisk on the drama bc this is not like a Scandal per se#this was a business decision made On Purpose#it's not like when sniperwolf stalked a guy and posted a pic of his home to her fans#or when the guy from tryguys fucked one of his employees Who He Himself Hired while also monetizing his wife and kids on the channel#this is different bc it's like. on purpose.#I DIGRESS....#you guys should see some of it in the watcher tag it's crazy. people are pointing at randos just bc they're already annoyed#i'll give you the clifnotes version which is that i got to see one where somebody has decided that the Steven Hate is actually ppl#revealing that they simply have just been racist at him the whole time. fwiw the steven roasting is bc he's an out of touch Tesla Boy#and bc he brought a homophobic evangelical pastor on the channel#and cockily admitted to being friends w people who are homophobic and racist... his own words#like he has verbally admitted to maintaining friendships with racists so i don't think people are really thinking this one through#these were new to me I was down to roast him for being rich and boring alone#also this reasoning kind of falls apart bc Ryan is literally Right There and people love Ryan#sergle.txt

We all know and love zutara's Hades & Persephone parallels. Complimentary opposites constantly being misunderstood as a captor/victim- badboy/goodgirl- edgy/sunshine trope despite significant nuances; being torn between familial and spousal devotion; ruling over their kingdom as equally powerful forces of nature... Good good stuff.
But may I humbly suggest that we have been woefully neglecting the sheer dramatic potential of taang x Eros & Psyche.
#lonely rich girl reduced to the sum of her physical traits x flighty boy of god-like power c'mon ppl#i feel there is something to be said here#the emphasis on sight and knowing somebody by their soul instead of their face??#turns out there's some animosity between H&P and E&P fans that I was not aware of until today#like yeah there's lots of bad takes on H&P floating around and E&P deserves more attention#but there are literally two cakes ppl#stop pitting two of the only functional marriages in this mythos against eachother!#it's literally mythology there is no 'canon' stop being annoying#zutara#taang#my posts#atla#other thought im chewing on is which mythological love story works for sukka??#Ariadne and Dionysus maybe??#OOOOOr Atalanta and Hippomenes?!?!#was this an excuse to get out my thoughts on greek mythology discourse? maybe#eros and psyche has been my favourite greek myth for nearly the last decade and i need ppl to know#fr context i highly recommend the overly sarcastic productions videos on yt!#zuko x katara#toph x aang#in this house we love Hades & Persephone and Eros & Psyche equally thank you very much

(a very quick and unpolished thing i wrote on the bus home today)
Utena, Anthy, and a conversation about love. Around 500 words.
---
“I loved him,” Utena says. She feels vulnerable admitting it, staring at the ceiling rather than at Anthy curled up at her side. “Not… not in the way he tried to convince me I did. But…” she sighs at the feeling of Anthy's fingers moving gently up and down her arm. “But I did love him.”
Anthy is quiet, and Utena can tell she’s waiting for her to say the next thing, the logical conclusion to this line of thought. It’s the hardest part to admit to herself, let alone to someone else. Let alone to Anthy.
She takes a breath. “Sometimes I feel like I still do.” Anthy exhales against her shoulder.
“Love is,” Anthy starts, then stops. Utena feels her shake her head. “It’s not… enough, on its own. I loved him too. I still do. I think I always will.”
Utena squeezes Anthy’s hand in the dark, and for a while they simply listen to each other breathe. “I’m not sure I even know what love is,” Utena says. “I definitely didn’t, growing up. But I wanted it, more than anything. He knew that. He offered it to me, and he knew I would do anything to keep it.”
“Family,” Anthy whispers, her mouth still pressed against Utena’s shoulder.
“Yeah. Family.”
They’re both quiet for a while, aware of the weight of the conversation. The entirety of what used to be their world, all contained in that single word.
“Do you think…” Utena starts to ask, but hesitates. She doesn’t want to say the words, and doesn't want to hear Anthy’s answer.
“What is it?”
She shakes her head. “Nevermind. It doesn’t matter.”
“Everything matters,” Anthy says simply, but in a tone that tells Utena that she doesn’t have to say if she doesn’t want to.
She sighs. “I just mean, it doesn't change anything. It doesn’t make what he did… better. But I just wonder,” and she has wondered for years now, “I wonder if he loved us too. If any of it was real.”
Anthy wraps an arm Utena’s middle and touches her scar lightly. “He did,” Anthy says, confidently enough that Utena doesn’t question it. “It was as real as anything was in that place. But like I said, love is… It’s not an inherent good.”
“No,” Utena mumbles. “And he hurt us in spite of it.”
Anthy catches Utena’s eye for the first time since the conversation started. “He hurt us because of it, Utena.”
“Oh,” Utena breathes, turning her eyes back to the ceiling. She lets that revelation settle in her chest, but doesn’t know how to feel about it. She was right that it doesn’t make any of it better. She’s not sure whether or not it makes it worse.
#grieving what somebody could have been to you / what they once were 👍#(i'm trying to get out of my comfort zone by actually posting more of my writing on this blog please be nice to me about it lol)#also i should hope it's obvious but this isn't about romantic love. just so we're clear on that#revolutionary girl utena#fanfics#utena#anthy#utena and anthy#akio#<- his name is never actually said and he isn't there but. the conversation is about him. so.#m#don't be afraid of this world where we'll meet

I think a very normal amount about Crocodile and Mihawk genuinely seeing Buggy's value. Genuinely appreciating his dream and his sense of adventure. Mihawk (bored-to-death swordsman who desperately needs something new) and Crocodile (the man who only cares about business because the last time he wanted something a kid with flip-flops sent him flying) seeing that the clown they're only using as bait and punching bag is actually the one with the biggest pirate heart. They realize he has charisma and followers for a reason and it's the fact that his "fake it til you make it" persona is actually built above his true dream. The words of fake confidence he speaks are actually words he genuinely wants to believe, but always fears will backfire because he doesn't have anything to rely on (unlike Shanks. Because even if Shanks doesn't need to rely on anything, he used to wear the trust and love of their captain in his head and everyone else supported him to be his legacy). So they end up seeing that they can do more with him. Together. Mihawk and Crocodile might have the money and the people but Buggy has the dream. They can go higher. They can be more than what they thought they were. Buggy shows them this side of himself between tears and sudden yelling and they have to admit that... They used to have dreams. Long forgotten ones. And okay, Buggy might not be the king of the pirates. They're so not saying that. But they can go higher.
They see this side of him and they never say it out loud (and even if they did, Buggy wouldn't even notice because he's busy begging them not to kill him. Which, y'know, fair) but something changes inside of them. Perhaps it's a faint, tiny sense of protectiveness. Maybe affection. Some type of appreciation they can't quite name because it would be too embarrassing for them to even say they care for this clown but- But it's there. Something.
So they keep Buggy around and he starts to feel less like a punching bag and more like somebody they care about. Kind of. And you know what? Maybe the damn clown can become the king of the pirates if he has already made the impossible happen once.
#somebody should put me down honestly i am going crazy#is it the fever am i starting to get delirious what the fuck did i write#anyway i think these three should make out and then a comically sitcomy camera should point at doffy and shanks crying#i'm making cross guild romantic and not just sexy !! behold the powers of fluff and hurt/comfort see what they can do#no but seriously i need these two to appreciate buggy bc although i love buggy being their little chihuahua sometimes i really want love#one piece#buggy the clown#dracule mihawk#sir crocodile#cross guild#the ship between these three is just cross guild right like why would you need another word#to me it's romantic in canon too who cares
