as a cis guy, when presented with the "99% you get a ton of money, 1% you turn into a girl" it honestly would be dumb to not hit that button until it breaks. like ok now i have 100 bajillion dollars and gender dysphoria. big deal. i have all the money in the world to turn me back into a guy. like with that kind of money i could have obama do me a phalloplasty. he wouldnt be able to do it as he isnt a surgeon but the point still stands

bigb and etho team up would be the most relaxed chilled-out bastard chaos-bringers on the server. etho would be like "ill be back in a bit, just gonna bring a warden up from the deep dark" and bigb will reply "cool, im gonna go convince grian that everyone is plotting against him and he needs to act now." then theyll meet up again in an hour and cloud gaze

we were talking about the criminalization of homosexuality in class and my professor (who as far as i know isn't in any way queer) said something i quite enjoyed in that. well the exchange was more or less this: a student asked a question (doesn't really matter what exactly just know that i was rolling my eyes So hard internally) and the prof looked at the student and was like (i'm paraphrasing here this conversation was not in english) Do you have any queer friends? and the student went Uhhhh in a manner that made it clear the answer was probably no and the prof said Actually statistically speaking you most likely do. If I had to divide this room into two groups the way to do it would not be "people with queer friends" and "people without queer friends" it would be "people whose queer friends are out to them" and "people whose queer friends aren't". And if you're in the latter category you should consider why that is--if maybe your behavior is indicating to the queer people around you that you're not safe to come out to. to come back to your question if you really want to know about queerness there's a very simple way of doing that: you make yourself a person queer people feel comfortable talking to about their experiences and then you fucking listen to them when they do (the fuck is not paraphrased) (there was a fuck involved) (frankly king shit)

Being the only bi cis guy amongst almost exclusively trans friends and peers is wild because in theory its like im living in a horny manga where all of a dudes friends turn into hot babes, but in reality they are hunting me like the last bison on the prairie. 5 years ago I mentioned bionicle and one of them asked when I was starting estrogen.

this line delivery has lived in my head for 10 years

okay now I'm curious and I dunno if this is really such an archaic foreign thing to young people today or if I'm just out of touch

Please reblog, I'd love to see a lot of responses!

I also think people underestimate how much Jimmy knows what he's doing when he takes the risks he does.

Jimmy dies early taking risks; he antagonizes the wrong people, he sticks around danger instead of hiding away, he takes the hit rather than run away, every single time.

And people often talk about this like it's a miscalculation on his part, like taking the risk is a mistake, Jimmy foolishly getting himself into trouble he wasn't prepared for, blinded to the consequences.

Which is patently untrue.

Jimmy isn't stupid, he's irrevocably hopelessly brave and bold and ambitious! Jimmy doesn't bumble into danger blindly assuming he'll be okay, Jimmy puts himself in the center of the action knowing the consequences and choosing to do it anyways! Jimmy would rather die being part of the action than live safe and tucked away and bored out of his mind!

This doesn't mean Jimmy doesn't want to live. Making it to the end has always been his goal- Jimmy plans to win next season. But the goal is not and has never been safety. Jimmy wants to live, not survive, he wants to be part of things, he wants to make his mark and prove something!

Jimmy's choices have always been his own, for better or worse, and he makes a point of making every single choice count, of burning as brightly as he can. Every breath Jimmy takes is a choice, and no choice is ever wasted or spent on simple survival. It pains me how often I see him shown as a helpless caged bird or stupid bumbling fool doomed to die either through fate or his own stupidity.

"i also noticed, on my daily flyby to see if mumbo's home- it's always nice to see a little bit of progress by mumbo, because then you know he's ok, he's doing alright- look- look who it is! it's like.. another grumbot variant!"

girl he is killing himself and putting his brain in that thing.

Joe: But the thing is, was he really me? I don’t think I’ve ever realized quite so much how I can’t tell if people feel like I do! How they think! Certainly looked and talked like me, but experientially? Totally different! Just as opaque to me as a stranger, or a friend, or a lover! What really is a lover then? Can I really connect to anyone if not myself?

Cleo: Yeah, but did you fuck your clone?

Joe: Oh yeah I mean obviously. Who wouldn’t?

cubfan135 fact #620:

Cub is out, bitches.

Cub: What would your last words be if this was your last day on Earth?

“I’m out, bitches.”

And that’s it. I instantly die after I say those words.

so i wore a pride flag pin to work the other day and the kids were all interested (obviously) (find me a classroom of preschoolers who are not obsessed with rainbows) (i'll wait) so they crowded around to see.

"aww!" they said, "it's a flag!!"

but the thing is: they're little. a lot of them don't really have a handle on all their mouth sounds yet.

such as, notably, that tricky tricky "L" sound.
