Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about the name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

(Six months ago, I did a version of this poll with about five hundred options on the spinner wheel. For this one, I more than doubled it.)

> **teaboo:** i gotta feel bad for legend. With the amount of queer villains, dude is working over time for PR. i mean. first you have the Riflemen thing. Then the Jack Slash thing. Then the Pointe thing. irl bad rep lol.

> **fullaction:** Jack slash thing??? Jack slash is gay????

> **sunny_side:** Wait you don’t know? Jack Slash is transgender.

> **fullaction:** he’s a she????

> **whitecollar:** other way round.

> **fullaction:** wat

> **sunny_side:** an FTM. Female to male. Allegedly

> **teaboo:** hold on lemme grab an explanation

> **teaboo:** okay so it all stems from this photo. Okay so pre 2002, this guy looks the exact same. Kinda greasy androgynous guy. Short hair, clean shaven.

> **teaboo:** then post 2002, the look suddenly changes. The nine go quiet for a couple months. They come back. The guy has a beard, grew out his hair, looks a lot less androgynous. A month or two later, he starts wearing those open shirts.

> **fullaction:** ye. I always assume it was like. A vanity thing. He’s insane, why does he do anything.

> **teaboo:** you’re right but thats not the point. The point is this photo. Uhhh. Dw mods it’s not gore or anything. Like there’s blood but, i don’t think there’s any photos of this guy not covered in blood.

> **teaboo:** mastectomy.jpeg

> **teaboo:** you see this photo here? Like the quality isn’t great, but it’s up close. You can see he has mastectomy scars. Top surgery, for those in the know. And then you realise. He only started wearing those open shirts post the 2002 break. You go back in time? Every single photo, he’s got a full shirt on. Often jackets and all that.

> **fullaction:** no fucking way

> **teaboo** and it goes deeper. You ever hear old recordings of him? His voice used to be a lot higher. Like again kinda falsetto-y. And you think. Hey. This guy has been doing this since the 80’s right. Since he was like. A preteen. We don’t know his real name. But

> **teaboo** missing.jpeg

> **teaboo** Mariposa Black, age 11. Went missing in Utah circa 1986, at the same time her father was stabbed to death in a presumed home invasion. I’m not saying they’re the same person. I’m just saying. Its a real fucking coincidence

> **fullaction:** holy shit. Has he like. Said anything??

> **teaboo:** nope. I dont think anyone is a position to ask them. And just saying. A trans woman myself. It lines up. Uh. Bit of a loss for the community though. so i do hope he doesn’t flat out admit it. Still. It’s kinda insane.

> **fullaction** wow. Thats one helluva mystery i disnt know needed solving

> **teaboo** yep. Its one of these things like how eidolon is gay but no one brings up because it’s kind of awkward

> **fullaction** wait eidolons gay

"homestuck tv show produced by vivziepop in 2025" falls on such a uniquely volatile fandom axis that i have to admit the announcement makes me understand a little bit of what dogs must feel when the ocean starts receeding

I mean, there is something to be said about how ultimately undirected gluttony is. Father sees gluttony as an endless hunger and yet seems to believe hunger is fundamentally simple. This is arguably contrary to the sin of Gluttony, which in my mind is consumption despite a lack of hunger.

i think an interesting element of the homunculi in fmab is that they are not necessarily perfect representations of their associated "sin"--rather they are a representation of how father sees that sin within himself.

of course *he* would make his lust into a beautiful woman, because thats likely the kind of person he lusts for, and of course this woman would be extremely murderous, because father doesnt actually crave companionship or pleasures of the flesh--he craves dominion and control. of course his pride is completely subservient to him--pride is not a representation of pride in general sense, but of *father's pride,* a representation of *his ego,* who thus follows his will to the bitter end.

envy probably does the best job of representing their "sin" more broadly, as a creature who despises their own appearance and feels immense bitterness towards humanity as an outsider to it--but that also says a lot about fathers relationship to humanity, which i think is particularly borne out but the flashback scenes of him when he was the dwarf in the flask.

where it gets really interesting imo is in greed. greed does kind of a terrible job of representing the "sin" of greed, which says interesting things about how father views his own desires. father sees his kinship with humans as a frivolity, as a greedy thing that he must shed. he sees his own desire for companionship and community as sinful and greedy. for all the greed talks big about treating people like possessions, hes shown to be compassionate. father considers his own compassion akin to greed, and cuts it out of himself in his pursuit of perfection.

I know we are all used to hear bad news from the USA or UK when it comes to trans rights but this time Germany wants to play in the same league.

Our idiots at home ministry came up with the fucking idea to start a register for all transgender and nonbinary people which would mean every person working at some public position could always at any given time see your assigned gender at birth, your deadname, your address and who knows what else.

We had been there in the past. Hitler Germany called it the "Travestite Law" back then. Our politicians didn't learn.

We all know this is unacceptable.

Please, if you are German, sign it. If you are not, spread it wide and far.

This had been stopped once a few years ago. It needs to be stopped again.

thinking about that time I told racist white people to stop doing microagressions towards black people and some dipshit cracker got so mad at me they started cry-typing about how if black people were nicer to white people they wouldn't be racist. and then that person said the same thing to me when they block evaded.

its honestly bananas to me that so many on this website seem to assume that someone's tumblr output is an accurate reflection of their real life priorities and activism and all of their beliefs in order of how hard they believe them. like. idk about you guys but i'm reblogging things that i want to reblog not keeping a minute by minute record of my deepest held beliefs. for one thing my deepest held beliefs are mostly not about star wars

Something I noticed in a lot of superhero movies from the last 10 years or so is what I called "Villainous heroes". These are heroes that aren't supposed to be anti-heroes or reformed villains, but heroes whose actions are presented as heroic when they're very much not.

The most obvious example of this is Zack Snyder's Superman, who is a violent sadistic murderer who causes undue harm and shows disregard for human life.
