I missed a lot of the celebration around May the 4th because I'm off reliving generational trauma on a trip with my mom but thank you, Star Wars, and thank you Star Wars fandom. You were there for me when I was the weirdest, loneliest, miserable little kid. You built me up when I was a baby writer. You gave me The Talk via upsetting dubcon Count Dooku smut when I didn't know what sex was. You filled my nights with stories. And thanks for being here for me again when I come back as an adult for a couple more adventures. ✨
Why are you so against having separate labels for romantic and sexual attraction?
Cuz the two are so intertwined that a separation would create so much gray area it's all a mute point. What counts as "romantic" or "sexual" is highly dependant on not just the individual person, but the culture, the relationship, and everything else around them. And the amount of gray area that ensues because of this means that what a label means is unique to each person who uses it-- ie. it's entirely useless as a label to find a community in. Shared experiences won't work because how you define your community is different. And the point of a label is to help find and develop a community. It's important that words mean at least relatively the same thing within the group it's trying to define.
Not to mention by hyper analyzing your attraction you're dividing yourself into such a small group you end up with a community that can't actually provide resources-- which is another very important part of a community. It also alienated you from groups around you as you try to further and further divide yourself.
Feel free to check out my pinned FAQ post. Got a ton of links to posts where I've gone into depth and shit. But that's the basic idea.
Don’t have any cool fanart for totk so here‘s a sprite edit instead! It was the next best thing I’ve got ^^ (and a transparent version)
The og sprite‘s from Etrian Odyssey 5. The wolf just gave too much wolf link vibes to not make this edit (and it’s also why the eye pattern‘s green here. It looks very fitting tho imo :3) Tried to keep the shading style as accurate as possible, though I‘m not sure how successful that attempt was .w.
The original and a low jpeg version of the sheikah slate are under the cut:
one unintended and unexpected side effect of embracing being a puppy is how its teaching me to unlearn the automatic reaction to feel shame and guilt about every aspect of my life i feel like is 'wrong' or 'bad'
Conspiracy theory that Elon Musk is the one unleashing all the bots on Tumblr trying to get us to get annoyed and leave or return to Twitter and he's just watching with increasing disparity as we all just turn it into the next meme and otherwise continue on like normal
