WE'RE SO BACK

I can barely begin to express how much the course of my life has been altered because of a 40 minute highlight video done by @jelloapocalypse and friends riffing over a 20 year old sky pirate game.

I made an off-handed comment after watching it together with two of my longtime friends, about how much I wish I had what Vyrsa had, and one of those friends STRAIGHT-UP TELLS ME that her and her wife have been crushing on me for a while.

The feeling was mutual, though I'd been of course hesitant to even hint at it.

Anyway now a few months later, we're a thruple, and we decided to honor the genesis of our relationship by cosplaying as the trio that made it a reality for my 30th birthday!

PinkCatNinja, me (CatComixzStudios), and ArtieStokes as Aika, Vyce Vyrsa, and Fina respectively, from SKIES OF ARCADIA!

And as a bonus, a comment I left on the video before my egg would crack completely (was still IDing as genderfluid at the time)

Can I Sing For You? (DpxDc Prompt)

I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS OR THEIR WORLDS. I DO NOT INTEND TO MAKE MONEY WITH THIS POST. IF THIS POST IS ON TIKTOK I DID NOT CONSENT TO THAT. IF THIS DISCLAIMER IS MISSING THEN THE POST WAS EDITED TO NEGATE IT

Ghosts have many different subspecies, each with different traits and skills. Danny is half ghost, but if you wanted to be precise, he is half banshee/siren. Ever since his death, Danny has had a natural talent for singing and finds great enjoyment from it. Sometimes he just can't help himself and needs to belt out a tune to someone.

After high school, Danny decides to pursue a career in music. It let's him sing to his cores content without getting odd looks and puts some cash in his pocket so honestly there isn't really a downside. In order to get some extra practice in and gain more exposure, he has a youtube series where he walks around and asks people if he can sing for them.

Its while making one of these that Danny comes across DC character of your choosing and gets an urge to sing so overpowering that they barely have time to say yes before Danny is singing the most beautiful, powerful performance he ever has in his (un)life.

By the time the song is over, DC character is extremely flustered.

Do you think modern au Buggy would be a fake conspiracy theorist just for the online views and attention and then eventually accidentally make a literal cult? Because God I do and it's hilarious...

[astradyke]

as a major fan of amazingphil solo content (i obviously love their collab work and Dan's content but if i need comfort i pretty much gun straight for amazingphil stuff) i cannot stop thinking about how fascinating it is that Phil just brings up Dan in every video? like i'm sure there are some exceptions but even if it's a throwaway mention, like, it is really deeply impossible to get into his solo stuff without at least knowing who Dan is and Dan's significance to him in his life. and like obviously that's not a consequential thing, their brand blew up together so it's not like many folks know Phil without knowing Dan, but like, even in the hiatus years the way Phil cared about Dan was so loud that like if you wanted to get into his stuff you needed to know that there was This Guy. i'm never really over that

The thing that gets me about history and humanity is that you never know what is immortalized, and the things that will be immortalized are things you would never think.

I saw a person sharing a new tattoo, and it was one of Onfim's drawings. A boy who lived so long ago he is barely a blip now, but his drawings meant so much to people that somebody is now permanently marked in their skin with one of those drawings. Do you ever look at the things you make and just sit there and wonder if this is the thing that future people look at? Do you ever look at your art, your writing, your schoolwork, or anything that is yours and just wonder who will find it, who will fall in love with a piece of your humanity and become overwhelmed with emotion over? It's not unlikely. It's not totally unlikely that somebody will find a piece of you in the distant future and devoid of any other context of who you were will still love you because you were here. You were here, and you are still here, even hundreds or thousands of years later. Treat yourself with the same love that so many have for dear Onfim.

could you please explain to me like i’m a child why kink should be at pride? i’m asking this very genuinely as someone who is relatively new to pride and gets overwhelmed by this discourse every year. i feel like the arguments against it are very clear but the arguments for seem to just be “well it used to be allowed and i want to continue that, so deal with it”. i don’t mean that dismissively, i’ve just never really seen someone explaining why pride should be inclusive of kink without it becoming very defensive and difficult to discuss.

The rights of kinksters and the lgbtqiap+ communities have always overlapped. Acts are considered "kinky" and "taboo" when they deviate from the expected heterosexual norm - two men kissing was once considered extremely abnormal, disgusting and overtly sexual in the same way that someone in a puppyplay outfit getting petted on the head is today. Neither act is inherently abnormal, disgusting or sexual. Our communities have worked together and continue to work together to increase understanding and empathy over affectionate acts.

When bodies, sexualities and lifestyles outside of the white cis normative patriarchal nuclear family are being targeted we need to stand together for our collective needs (respect, keeping the state out of our consensual sex lives, the right to wear what makes one feel connected to oneself regardless of assigned or perceived gender, a freedom of expression) and we should also stand together in celebration that there's a place for us. Leather bars and other kink spaces have often been safe havens for the LGBTQ+ communities to express ourselves without judgement, and they still are today. Also - there are many kinky queer people. If queer knitting groups are "allowed" at Pride, why not queer kink groups? Sexuality can be a big part of someone feeling connected and celebratory of their sexuality. If Pride has to at all times remain "family friendly" to the standards of the state or general public, then no Pride would ever happen.

In practice, "kink at pride" is not like, people having an orgy on the main stage or whatever it is the more nervous among us are expecting. It would be: people in fetish gear (already a mainstay of pride events), maybe people in fursuits with front zippers (stay cool and hydrated in there, babes), talks and demonstrations of safe/sane/consensual good practice, people in cute collars/leashes (also reasonably common in the pride events I've been to), nonsexual nudity, leather/kink pride flags, maybe some stands sell sex toys.

What is "acceptable sexual expression" and what is "unacceptable/kink" is entirely a cultural norm. There can be huge advertisements of heavily sexualized women's bodies in everyday life, but my friend can't show off her strap at Pride? Why?

In trying to find arguments against to rebut, I found this Vox article which discusses the inherent respectability politics at play, and also This OUT article has the powerful quote:" If Pride is to be a "family-friendly" space, I would ask: for whose family?" which are definitely worth a read for more!

For the sake of argument, let's go through some scenarios, if the things people are scared of happen:

a child at a Pride event does see someone mostly nude aside from a bandana over their privates, and they are doing a sexual dance

Nudity is not inherently bad for a child to see. Children regularly see sexual dances in music videos. This does not negatively impact them.

a child at pride is approached by someone in a puppy mask on a leash, and is asked to pat their head

This is not a sexual act. It is patting someone's head. The child goes 'ah, someone is pretending to be a puppy' and can choose whether to not to pat their head. This does not negatively impact them.

a child sees sex toys and asks what they are/a child hears an adult call another adult "Daddy" and asks why

The responsible adult they are attending with explains that they are toys/games for grown-ups that kids would find very boring. "That's not really her daddy, they're just playing pretend". This does not negatively impact them. (Why parents are apparently so afraid at the very idea of having a conversation with their child is beyond me...alcohol also isn't appropriate for children but it's pervasive in "normal" culture as a "drinks for grown-ups").

a nonconsenting party is involved in a sexual scenario against their will

This would be awful! I agree! This would be an assault, and is not acceptable under any circumstances. It is also, unfortunately, something that is a danger at pretty much all crowded events, kink-friendly or otherwise. This, however, would not be kink at Pride, this would be assault at Pride and should be reported to a trained authority. Banning healthy, joyful sexual expression does not and never has prevented sexual violence.

However...now, don't boo me, but there can be some nuance on this point. What is the line of "involved in a sexual scenario" and "being an audience member"? Am I "involved in kink against my will" if I go to a drag show and they do a shibari routine? Or if they recreate a simulation of a kinky scene that happened to them of shining someone's boots? Or if someone dresses up as a robot and says they want to fuck their laptop and grind on it? Or if they pull out their comically long strap-on and rub it in a willing volunteer's face? (All of these happened at local drag events, all of them fucking RULED!!!! in my opinon haha). I don't think so, but, would that opinion change if they'd visibly climaxed during those performances while staring me in the eye? I don't know! But also - am I "involved in a sexual scenario" if I go and watch Avenue Q and there are puppets simulating sex acts? Or if a performer makes intense eye contact during Cabaret's opening number? There are contexts at play - most pride events that contain overtly sexual performances are going to be appropriately signposted, and all of the above examples are from 18+ shows. This one podcast talks about having seen a (fully clothed) flogging before the 18+ hours (which they highlight as unusual and unexpected, and this appears to be their only personal example of having seen it something they consider over the line at Pride) (I think this is an interesting conversation they have, worth reading the whole thing), were they being involved in a sexual scenario? As spectators to a fully clothed scene, not at all invited into it? I don't know! It's something I'll be thinking about...

I do know! That basing "what is acceptable" on "what makes me and my friends personally uncomfortable" is not a great basis for community organization and event policy. Because what if my friend gets a new friend who is 'uncomfortable' with hijabs. Or fat people. Or trans people. It's not a good way to run things.

a queerphobic person sees and points to it as an example of why all queer people are degenerate freaks who want to sexualize everything and should be locked up

These are people we are resisting WITH our pride. Locking out those who do not fit into their idea of acceptable helps none of us and is harms more of us, because to them, we are all minor-abusing, sick, disgusting freaks who should be locked up no matter how innocuous our expressions of affection and love. If we let fear of what other people might think of our movement leave members of OUR community out in the cold, then our movement is doomed. Kick out the kinksters -> kick out the gender non conforming -> kick out the people of colour -> kick out the disabled -> etc.

To finish - I fully understand why people are defensive around this subject. No one likes being called a horrible freak who wants to inflict their deviant nasty sexuality on the innocent for being or standing up for kinksters. From the above podcast: "People have...this big, emotional reaction to kink. Because again, most people consider it to be very sexual. Most people are very uneducated about it. Most people don’t know what it is, or what it looks like. So, kink where there are children sounds bad to people who don’t really know what that means". Extending grace and listening to the content of someone's argument even when their tone doesn't line up with what you feel is warranted in these discussions will be helpful for reaching understanding. The same respectability politics that seek to limit queer expression can also be used to ignore voices that don't fit a demand for meekness, friendliness or approachability. Which I'm not saying you're doing, it's just something to watch out for.

Dude yeah, being accused of using AI - especially as a creative - must be the worst insult you could throw at someone.

Baby Sensory Fruits & Veggies as Glee Characters

My credentials: I am passionate about fruit, glee, and those baby sensory videos with fruit and veggies dancing to adult music I watch like 10 of them a day

The Peas: Mike and Brittany

Peas are so underrated, but they are the backbone of the sensory fruits. They’re always in sync, always on beat. Arguably the most fun to watch. They are undoubtedly the best dancers and perform moves much more complicated than the other fruits and veggies. Mike and Brittany are all the peas to me. I feel so strongly about this. Don’t sleep on the peas!!

Strawberry: Rachel

I mean, could it be anyone else? Strawberry is always involved in every video, occasionally with the spotlight, usually in a bunch all at once because she’s gotta be the center of attention. Plus, it’s Rachel Berry. She had to be a berry. She’s sweet on her own but mixes well with others (when she chooses to). This specific strawberry really captures that Rachel Berry essence.

Pineapple: Finn

Pineapple doesn’t do much besides bounce back and forth but we love him for it!!! What he lacks in movement he makes up for in his presence and leadership to the other fruits, much like Finn. Pineapple is usually seen leading the other fruits and/or just vibing with himself or one other. Which leads me to…

Banana: Puck

Banana never outshines anyone else. His dancing’s kinda mid and no one really talks about him. Which is fine. The one time he’s fun to watch is when he’s paired with Pineapple as his backup dancer. They give off bestie vibes. It’s one of the main reasons I see Puck as Banana. Exhibit A:

That and I have mixed feelings on bananas depending on what day it is.

Oranges: Mercedes and Quinn

Not all oranges. Specifically this set of oranges that are always seen paired together in the videos. Don’t ask me why I feel this way—it’s just how I see them. They’re so cutie. It reminds me of the sweet, supportive Quinncedes dynamic in season 1. Oh how I miss it.

Green Onion: Tina

Green onion’s usually seen by herself like above, but it’s okay because she likes it that way. In this way she is so Tina-coded. I love her. She’s adorable. Not the most talented dancer but she’s there to support everyone else and gets to shine on her own. Also I really love the taste of green onions (you see how we’re straying from the canon of the baby sensory food-iverse to my personal tastes? There is no consistency here)

Lemon and Lime: Sam and Blaine

Look at them!!! This is the Blam dynamic. I don’t care what anyone says. They’re practically always paired in these videos and they look like they’re having so much fun together. They’re very energetic and constantly grinning. Now, I’m not saying Blaine and Sam are limes and lemons to me in terms of real fruit, no. But in the baby sensory food-iverse? No other fruit captures their whimsy.

Raspberry: Santana

She’s just so cool! Raspberry is also a pretty solid dancer. She’s typically seen on her own in a bunch like this because she has a strong stage presence or she can be seen in a mix with the other berries. Red is Santana’s color, so I knew she had to be a red fruit. Raspberries have a tendency to taste tart, which matches Santana’s personality too perfectly. I personally like her as a berry as well because…

Blueberry: Kurt

It could never have been another. Kurt is blueberry to me!!! They don’t do many complicated moves like the peas. Blueberries kind of shimmy around, and are usually seen on their own like this—all like Kurt. Also, look at that boy’s face and tell me it’s not shaped like one of these blueberries. They could be twins. The strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry all get put together in cute little dance circles occasionally, and I like to think of them as Kurtcheltana because I miss them. Exhibit B:

Also blueberry’s one of my favorite fruits so Kurt has to be blueberry to me.

Corn: Artie

I can’t find a good image of the corn. But Artie’s corn. That’s it.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk :]

I refuse to be reminded of that "The manga that ruined its potential" video about Gokurakugai.

It literally still has less than 30 chapters. "It could have been this! It have had that!" Like, damn, give it time? Or some of you just gotten so impatient with getting whatever you want from creators that you don't want to give anything a chance?

"I wish it was like the one shot, I wish it kept the same plot of the one shot." I honestly think people who say that would still have complaints if Yuto Sano did just expand on the one shot. People like that always do.

Like, how can a manga lose potential... IF JUST REALLY STARTED TO PICK UP?!

First, it's very popular mangas. Now, people want to say newer and less popular mangas are "trash and lost potential".

I don't know, maybe just try reading something for entertainment and not for trying to critique it as the first thing you do?
