oh i never know how to explain this properly but i looooooooooooooooove when a story just absolutely TELLS you something and it’s so obvious it goes right by you. like the equivalent of hiding in plain sight. i’m thinking in the original cut(?) of alien where they showed the full xenomorph, crouched and ready to pounce, but because we’ve never seen it before, we can’t tell what it is and interpret it as part of the spaceship. or it’s a detail that seems so out of place or wildly insane that you automatically ignore it and assume you misinterpreted until that exact detail comes back in a big way? (like when noah the raven boy flat out tells everyone he’s a ghost and they take it as a joke, so the reader does too) is there a tvtropes name for this i’m obsessed with it

Have you ever kissed a Ghost?

In 02x02 Guillermo is so excited seeing Nandor’s Ghost...

...and then after the cut back to Nandor and his Ghost, Guillermo is simply no longer there. He just doesn't appear anymore in almost the entire second half of the episode. So where is he?

Yeah, it's not going so great because of the language barrier… Or is there maybe also something else that didn't go so well? Has Nandor’s Ghost possibly gotten a little closer to Guillermo? Checking out…? Flirting…? Or maybe even… kissing?! Maybe Vampire Nandor caught them both - shocked and surprised - and Guillermo felt so uncomfortable that he left?

Also Nandor seems to start having more problems with Guillermo getting closer to him spontaneously after the Ghost episode (regular familar activities such as preparing hair and clothes excluded)

He had no problem in particular with that before they meet the ghosts:

Suddenly in 02x04 “The Curse” Nandor finds it so awful when Guillermo just sits down next to him or just to touching his hand?

It seems that someone has been struggling to cope with what he might have seen between his Ghost and his familiar. Or maybe even to cope with certain awakening feelings that his own ghost had accidentally made clearer to him?  Who knows ;)

However, it is really interesting to me that Guillermo just doesn’t answer Roderick’s question in 06x06 but just looks confusedly at the camera. And then we have a quick scene cut to Nandor…

I see you, WWDITS editors… I see you…

the worst part about ocd and ocd-like tendencies is that you think hyper-analyzing your thoughts and constantly psychoanalyzing yourself will fix you but that's actually part of the disorder. it's the disorder. disordering.

after mac comes out he starts watching rupaul's drag race cause he's a gay man and gay men like drag but very quickly he realizes he's not interested (he was into the pit crew tho) so he stops but dennis who had been lowkey watching whenever it was on screen WAS into it so he starts watching it by himself and that's how you get dennis yelling at the screen during the lip synchs for your life cause the queen he's supporting isn't serving enough cunt

Phrasing all your beliefs in the most extreme and aggressive way possible has no benefits and we should not do it. Some have said, "But it scares off all the people that are more moderate and average and not as fully committed!" Well we shouldn't do that? We need those people?

it makes me sad the way cis women are so terrified of and disgusted by their own body hair. and i'm not talking "i have to shave for sensory reasons" i mean i keep seeing videos of women using hair identifier spray on their faces and hands so they can shave the tiniest barely-there bits of peach fuzz that came free with their bodies. hair that serves a purpose and that purpose is cleanliness and protection. i mean when i was in elementary school girls who had barely hit puberty were talking about shaving their arms. i mean full-grown adult women who will have a breakdown if they see two days of stubble on their legs/crotch/ jaw/pits because god forbid you don't look like a perfect plastic barbie doll. god forbid your body that keeps you alive comes with hair that may not be soft and glossy and photogenic. some women are so afraid of having any hair apart from their head and eyebrows that they've uno reversed themselves into six different kinds of gender dysphoria that they can't recognize as such because they're convinced that this unnatural state of highly-groomed capital-informed beauty is how women have always been. you're so scared of looking "gross" or "ugly" or "mannish" that you can't even look at your body in the mirror and recognize what it is. sister you are an ape. why are you so determined to deny your nature.

Intersex trending?

• Friendly reminder bæddel, hermaphrodite, & futa are all slurs no matter the context.

• Intersex doesn't mean having a penis and vagina/cosexual/bigenital.

• When trans people go on about how "cis people get gender affirming care" "cis people get puberty blockers/hormones" etc, you are talking about intersex people. And most of the time we don't have the autonomy granted to us to choose. The same system oppresses us and forces us into the status quo. The only difference is for intersex people they are medically forced into one sex category, for the peritrans they are denied medical things to keep them in society's binaries. It's a lack of autonomy.

• IGM (intersex genital mutilation) is when doctors decide to genitally change intersex babies. These surgeries are only cosmetic, meaning the doctors do not care about how it functions, just the look.

• Every single anti trans law has made an exception for intersex people so they can continue oppressing us.

• Lying about being intersex doesn't make you safer. You as a trans dude lying about having gynemastica isn't making you safer. Intersex people are treated just as badly.

• Intersex people are still raped & mutilated by the medical system (yes even in '1st world' countries) and it's common practice.

• A species cannot be "all intersex", as being intersex refers to variations in ones sex.

• Whenever you see a "nonbinary" animal, it's usually just an intersex animal.

• Intersex people are not assigned "intersex" at birth, We usually still have AGABs, as AGAB was original used by doctors to refer to us. Additionally, an intersex person may be reassigned throughout life.

• SIG refers to socially imposed gender, for many intersex people they have an inconsistent socially imposed gender.

i'll think of more later, feel free to add on

Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa have all seen their right-wing parties collapse in popularity since Trump took over.

We were headed for a hard-right turn, but this shift is absolutely unprecedented in modern times. The stark reality of a right wing nationalist future really got people to pay attention.

Unfortunately, it's at the cost of the millions of us in the US who will now suffer
