Occasionally I find it mildly annoying when Palpatine is posited as the one Anakin had always trusted the most, tbh. There's a noticeable shift in how he interacts with Obi Wan and Palpatine in between aotc and rots, and there's an obvious reason why: the events of aotc themselves. He and Obi Wan had plenty of friction, but they were still close, and Anakin did in fact confide in him in his grumpy teenager way. About his feelings for Padme, about his worries for his mother. It's after his trip to Tatooine that he turns to Palpatine instead.

So, I watched Sonic 3 with my cousin and.... Here me out-💀

CW : MALE PRESENTING PREGNANCY in the True Detective universe, lmfao so there's another user on this site in the true detective realms who I've seen like, in adjacent passing, on reblogs of other posts talking vaguely about Marty accidentally getting Rust pregnant in 2002 and I've had to pause on this one and contemplate it for a minute because I'm kind of obsessed with it. back in yons years of 2014 and 2015 "mpreg" was obviously not socially acceptable fodder in fandom and it absolutely would NEVER have flown in TD circles, considering half the fandom base at that time would get pissy and ants in their pants just over retired Rust and Marty kissing or having a cat. anyway.

I don't want to steal the other user's AU because I truly know nothing about it or the origins, it may have even been on discord for all I know, I've just seen them mentioning the most basic concept in Tumblr tags. but my mind immediately went to like...Rust hiding a pregnancy from Marty leading up to their fight in 2002, the fight happens and then he REALLY refuses to tell him, and then fucks off to Alaska without telling him about the baby. just to have the kid and raise it without telling anybody out of pure anger and spite. and it fits seamlessly with the 'time is a flat circle' theme because here's Rust, raising a child on his own in the Alaskan wilderness like his Pop did before him. everything we do, we are doomed to repeat again and again, etc.

all this to say, when Rust comes back to Louisiana in 2012 [within the context of this AU] with or without a nine-year-old in tow, the stakes are obviously way different. and he really has to make sure Marty is on his side before he even breathes a single word adjacent to this child's existence. but when he confirms Marty's on his side, and Marty proves his loyalty, and the kid is in safe hands while they finish working the case together...? oh. imagine the introduction. the drama 💋🤌 delicious middle-aged fatherhood 2.0. not even speaking on the part where Rust is the world's most traumatized parent after he lost Sofia at a young age and would lay down his life in a heartbeat for this kid he had with Marty

the Vibes of tma are so good too the atmosphere will always remind me of a cloudy, muggy day in early summer with almost no one on the street. although maybe that's just because I took a lot of hot and lonely walks in the early summer of 2020 when I was listening to it. Texas never really shut down for the pandemic, so we all just tried to avoid each other, and I'd sit on my aunt's porch just to be outside. and try to focus on online classes but mostly just sweat. Sit there listening to scary podcasts until it grew dark

This has been sitting in my unfinished folder for MONTHS… I like making comics but also I hate making comics. Comics FEAR the guy who still struggles to draw their characters consistently despite drawing them for nearly 5 years straight

Fengcui are ridiculous. They're fully making out at this point but they REFUSE to acknowledge it out of pure spite they NEED to get the upper hand the other one must be the one to confess first!!!! Can you imagine? Sticking you tongue 5 inches down someone else's throat and still have the guts to say to THEIR FACE that they're the one coming onto you and you don't get it- have they fallen for you? Ooh how interesting, maybe elaborate on that? No? Well fuck you then. And then they do it again. And then they sacrifice themselves for each other MULTIPLE TIMES. Only to share the most disgustingly sweet romance that is CLEAR to everyone around them yet it remains!!!! Unspoken!!!! Even to each other!!!!

Someone was picking up testosterone for the first time and asked about syringes, so our pharmacist walked through switching the points to draw vs. inject, how to recap the best way to avoid accidental sticks, etc. He then pointed out that the vials are 1ml each and designed for one dose only, which means there'll be leftovers to discard, because there isn't a preservative in the vial as they aren't intended to be used multiple times. He then very emphatically pointed out that we the pharmacy can't enforce disposal and that no one will show up at anyone's house to check to make sure that all vials are properly tossed after the single dose. Heavy emphasis.

Idk, I just really appreciated overhearing it. Some pharmacies are genuinely scary for some people right now, but there are ones out there that just want to be good.

Being fan of a genre that reuses the same stuff is funny because one day you're recognizing tropes, then actors, then background music and locations, and then another day you realize you're so far into it you can tell who the director is solely by one of their preferences/quirks/style

So do you ever think about Jon embracing being non human and becoming a worse but much much happier version of himself or are you normal

I am thinking about Jonathan Sims having a fraying connection with humanity All Of The Time. Jon who is drawn to the Eye not just because he needs to know but because being an Avatar just feels Right. Jon who has always struggled to connect with the people around him. Jon who feels he was never human in some fundamental way to begin with, always reaching for all the things humans are supposed to be that he has never been. Jon eternally caught between the knowledge that if he ever stops trying he can only hurt the people around him but if he never stops trying he will always be crushed under the weight of his own stifling humanity. Jon shedding his false skin and feeling nothing but relief even though he knows he is going to hurt people now, and more than ever before, and he is not ever going to stop because the chains are gone and they can’t be put back. This is because I am extremely normal and have no problems at all.

(I think there’d probably be some good Jon/Jonah parallels here if we had ever gotten to see Jonah as he was just starting out. Like genuinely do you see the Vision?)

(I do believe this post is like. Maybe the most articulate I have ever been on the subject. Do you fucking know how much “a tragic loss of life, etc. etc.” fucking Haunts me? I don’t have the words to explain it now and I don’t think I did before either but it changed my brain chemistry please I don’t know what to say but I desperately need to say it.)

(I think this was maybe more. Adjacent to what you meant maybe? Unfortunately I got caught on This Concept and I’m trapped in it now. I hope this is alright)

feeling less and less attached to the label “butch”, and also less attached to my masculinity in general. I’m still taking testosterone, still in love with my “masculinized” body, and that I pass in public. but like … i’m enjoying re-embracing my femininity from this side of my transition. I like feeling girly and using purses and putting my hair up in a high pony tail and letting my voice drift into higher registers.

i’m feeling like my butchness was a form of protection that got me through my adolescence and my transition. it taught me how to be tough while staying loving and vulnerable towards the people I care about. My butchness is a safe part inside of me that I know I can return to when I need that kind of strength.

but now i’m ready to move on maybe , and embrace a softer part of me that feels a tenderness towards girly things and femininity.

it’s funny that it took a whole gender transition for me to feel safe enough to explore my femininity, but i’m loving it. I feel like the androgynous elf prince of my ten year old fantasies. I wanted to be a boy with long pretty hair so bad and i’m finally there.

with that being said , i’m returning to my 2017 roots and going back to they/them pronouns. I’m embracing my inner gender freak , and just going with the flow of this androgynous gender ambiguity thing I got going.

I really want to like being a woman but I don’t. But I’m not dysphoric either; I like my body fine and I don’t want to change my voice or my mannerisms or even my pronouns really. So I don’t think I’m transmasc. Sometimes I just really wish I was born and raised a man. But it’s more of an “in another life” dream kind of thing. I think it’s just internalized misogyny idk
