speaking my truth for a mo but likeeeee sometimes i see the self deprecating shit that ends up on my dash like “me when my friends say they like me but i know the secret truth which is that they HATE ME” followed by the way people talk about their feelings and the way they perceive the world and in the kindest way possible like. it’s a joke and lighthearted until it’s not a joke or lighthearted and sometimes y’all are just making yourselves miserable for no reason by interacting with and feeding into this shit i’m sorry

people will mock folks in the middle ages for being ignorant and superstitious and in the next breath explain how the eclipse affected people born in June and July

ATTENTION MEN: it’s time to be bisexual

when you're part of a group with structural power over another goup, you really do gotta just learn to say "i am not exempt from 'fuck 'em' when relevant" whenever someone expresses frustration with you or people like you.

once again asking: can we PLEASE put chaser humor on the high shelf? im really tired of getting met with "based" "haha so?" "who cares" and shit every time i point out chaser shit. like you folk realize that chasing is a form of sexual violence right. these are people who look at vulnerable women being abused by basically every part of society, even ones that claim to be safe for them, and see an easy score before they see a real human being in need of love and support. you NEED to be able to distinguish between genuine interest and care and someone saying what they know you want to hear so they can get in your pants. and its hard! but its even harder when half the damn jokes on this site regarding trans women are straight up chaser tactics but "totally a joke i swear." im sick of it. so fucking tired. join the war on chasers

the thing imo is that a lot of (primarily tme, often cis but many trans and nb as well) people who find themselves strongly attracted to transfemininized men* like femboys and eggs or other gnc expressions come from a place of desiring a degraded masculinity defanged and made more approachable by proximity to womanhood; which is why it’s not uncommon to hear about people’s interest in their transfem lovers drying up once they start more actively identifying and presenting as women away from manhood

okay but WHYYY is no one talking about louis and daniel WHYYYYYYYYYY is no one talking about the greatest grandpa4grandpa relationship known to man and i don’t even mean romantically i mean in the most basic human platonic level their relationship is FASCINATING.

like louis SAUGHT HIM OUT after FIFTY YEARS he FOUND HIS BOY, this horrible infant who DID NOT UNDERSTAND A THING HE TOLD HIM, who saw his raw, decades-old pain and wanted in on it, AND HE GOES BACK FOR HIM BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE’S CHANGED. he can understand now. he can help him find the truth.

and like, they’re both absolutely terrified by each other because they’re both uniquely skilled at getting under each other’s skin and finding that truth (and also because… louis could just up and eat daniel anytime but shhhh…) and it’s because they UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. louis’s interviewing daniel as much as daniel’s interviewing him, just. pulling teeth from each other’s head, trying to pull out all the rot with such violence and cruelty (from both of them!! daniel is a cockwallop!!) but they want to help each other they CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER.

LIKE THIS????

THIS FUCKING SHIT?????

GAGGED ME. RUINED ME. I HAD TO STOP AND TAKE A WALK AROUND THE ROOM.

People talking about how Telemachus is written too young and "his song is more fitted to a 13 year old than a 20 year old" is both really funny and also kinda depressing.

There’s actual reasons - in Ancient Greece 20 year old men, while certainly not considered children, also weren't thought of as adults but instead youths. Admiteddly this a more athens leaning take, but even in Sparta men weren't allowed to hold political positions until they turned 30.

In a more modern take, as a 20 year old this is exactly how my peers act and feel. The vast majority of people in their early twenties have no idea what the hell they're doing.

Obviously not so much a tumblr problem - aged demographic and all - but also both really funny and a little sad to see on tiktok. Yes 14 year old, even at 20 you will be yearning to be Great with no idea how to do so.

Pedro Pascal characters have a habit of dying due to head wounds. Because of that, I firmly believe that Din Djarin is only still alive because of his helmet.

Read a fic the other day and honestly now I'm stuck with the prevailing thought that my M/F ship type might be "She's a badass" x "He's also a badass but that pales in comparison to how much he wants to be her fucking pet."
