#also being grossed out by homeless people

[coyoxxtl]

twitter is a circle of hell

[anotherpapercut]

I used to live in a homeless shelter so like yeah homelessness is a thing but you are the most annoying person I’ve ever met and cbt’ing away reasons to be grossed out by human shit is stupid as fuck. Please shut the fuck up.

are you using cognitive behavioral therapy as a verb here? is that what that means lol? that's fucking hilarious. I mean it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever if you actually know what cbt is instead of just having like a baseline understanding from a Tumblr post but it's fucking so funny. also I'm obsessed with you calling me the most annoying person you've ever met. we've never met?? you are a stranger. also meet more people I guess idk it's not my problem

oh also please refer to #3 of my pinned post

Hey so maybe this is a stupid question, but I'm curious to hear your opinion....

What do you think they're doing with BloodMoon? On the one hand they're acknowledging how BloodMoons known nothing but hate and being used, which makes me sympathetic and seems to indicate a direction of change/redemption. But on the other hand, its FUCKING BLOODMOON. Hes garnered hate because hes an insane psychopath that has admitted that they enjoy the killing and dont see it as a curse. That's not someone you leave loose or free. It seems that solution is to kill them again, but that also seems like a waste cuz they JUST came back and now have a custom VR model.

I dunno, I'm sorry for rambling, I just want to hear what others think. Cuz to me they're giving us plenty of reasons and tidbits to want a BloodMoon redemption of some sort, but BloodMoon has seemed to make it very clear that they dont want to stop being the bloodthirsty killing machine and have "killed" and/or burned bridges with the individuals who would have TRIED to accept them. So I'm confused on how to feel and what to think....

I don't know honestly.

On one hand, they point out constantly BloodMoon's abandonment issues and him being constantly used as a tool.

While I am disappointed with how KC's death was handled, I do agree that he needed to be fridged by Bloodmoon in this case. (I just wish the circumstances aligned so KC didn't antagonize him for no reason and didn't throw his life away for no reason. And due to his inaction caused many more homeless people to possibly die, and now it seems like he was just feeding the homeless for clout on tinder and not genuinely care about these people.... I honestly find the stupid easy jabs at the homeless in the sams series kinda gross and while it has been toned down I still wish it would stop all together...)

And what I really think will happen, Bloodmoon wants to be fixed... but since his introduction... Bloodmoon (well, the old Bloodmoon, not the Bloodmoon based on Ruin's SAMS wiki lore... cause remember. This is Bloodmoon 2.0 with not all his memories in tact.)

He did seem to lament that he had these bloody cravings.

Yeah. I haven't forgotten this episode. Released on the Day of the actual Blood Moon.

(I kinda miss when they used to talk with their hands to convey which twin was which)

It was the first time we as a fanbase realized that his urge to kill is more of an addiction and he has said as much a few times.

And retrospectively, looking back on this episode, (cus at this point I didn't care about bloodmoon back then. It always takes me a bit to warm up to a new SAMS character) Bloodmoon is exceedingly lonely.

He has himself. But that's all. no one will ever really get him or understand him. And I think there's a great lament with that. Being unable to be understood from anyone outside of your twin or 'other'. Yeah, you have eachother, but no one else.

I'm wondering if Bloodmoon 2.0 has this episode in his memories. As he seems to be determined to rip and tear and kill.

My working theory right now is that Nice Eclipse WILL fix Bloodmoon as he wants..... but he'll also fix his cravings.

The best case scenario is that Bloodmoon will only crave shades of red.... and rare steaks....

or... this might cause complications in the duality of their nature, and maybe one of the twins might get broken, with the other needing to be alone for the first time since they woke up.

I don't know. I really think Nice Eclipse will pull through... and give Bloodmoon everything he wants, and more. Because I don't think Eclipse will readily fix Bloodmoon in his entirety and just let a homicidal maniac run loose and terrorizing everyone.

Bloodmoon was the only person Sun felt guilty about, and even Old Moon felt as if Bloodmoon, given enough time and the right circumstances could change.

We also know that Ruin Eclipse is possessed by the Ruin Virus. So he isn't in his right mind, and can easily be redeemed as well. He just needs that virus out of him.

I'm already seeing a lot of parallels with the Eclipse and Lunar takeover. And How Lunar was developing more as a person and strongly learning Eclipse was bad for him and the side of good.

Meanwhile, Bloodmoon is slowly figuring out that he's been used his whole life and he no longer wants to be a weapon for others. The only way he can prevent himself from being a tool in this way, is to not play the game.

Which I think Nice Eclipse is the key.

Most women your age are getting married and starting their families and you've never even had a bf 🤡 it's so over for you better get used to coping with ur crippling loneliness with maladaptive daydreaming, yandere asmr videos, drugs and self-insert fanfic because that's all you'll ever have now. Your youth is gone and you're still fat af even after you lost weight (probably gained it all back by now lmao). You could have made something of urself whem you were 20 by losing weight and going to college but instead you laid around and wasted all of your youth and now it's too late. No man will ever want to deal with your baggage of being poor, old, unwanted, uneducated (lmao how do I have more education than you and I'm 10 years younger? dumbass doesnt even have her GED), cringey age-inappropriate hobbies, mentally ill and not even having the decency to go to therapy and take meds, fat, ugly face, loser and loner with no irl friends, crazy family, looking old for your age, whored yourself out on a sugar daddy website, rotten teeth due to your own laziness, thinning frizzy hair and gross bulky glasses, drug addicted alcoholic who's probably going to be homeless for the majority of her life, mean person attacking minor aged rape victims like jesus christ you're so fucking worthless SO many red flags so much baggage no-one will ever want to deal with that. You don't even know how worthless you are

You know, every time you send me a message like this, I think of the person from your friend group who came forward a while back. You know, the one you don't like to acknowledge tried to apologize on your behalf. Anyways, every time you insult my appearance I just think of what your friend said

So i get it sweetie, youre mad at mommy and daddy and you're lashing out. That's why half the time you're repeating things i previously said back to me and parroting shallow insults with a very small vocabulary. The second i call you fatherless, you call me fatherless. I use thw word maladaptive and, suddenly you know that word too and juat HAVE to use it as well. I get it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

You're honestly just making yourself look so pitiable. You realize you've already painted yourself as such a dumb jackass that every single time you do this I basically just laugh and ignore you, and then people who know me and are friends or WANT TO be friends with me see how you treat me publicly and they all say "yeah wow who's this absolutely demonic little cunt acting like this without any reason". Like. What is the end goal here. Making yourself look as petty and stupid as possible. Meanwhile, what did someone else in your friend group say? The ones you lied to? Including Callie, the actual victim whose trauma you're basically trying to appropriate for yourself

Anyways yeah I just wanted to like show you the actual screenshots of the conversation I had with your friend back in June, which also to everyone else, yeah June, that's when she lied to her own friends and said she would stop doing this. She lied to her friends because all of them told her this was making them massively uncomfortable, so now she's. Being an internet troll in secret behind their backs 😂 they were going to tattle on you to your mom so you lied so they wouldn't check tumblr anymore because you're such a weird angry little freak that this has become a hobby for you

I'm sad? I'M sad? I don't even know your fucking name meanwhile you've scrolled through all of my blogs repeatedly for months cataloging details about me for the sheer purpose of trying to poorly insult me.

Like genuinely 90% of the reason I'm answering this is to basically wave a flag saying "hey everyone if you've ever seen or received weird asks of photoshopped porn of me or pictures of my actual family taken from their facebooks or saw the transphobic racist fake dating profile she made with one of my selfies or you ever received a bitch lasagna or Zalgo text, it was this cringey little lolcow right here"

But I also wanted to show you screenshot proof that you make your own friends super uncomfortable and that they started talking about your personal business to defend me over you. So. Yeah I guess that stings huh?

[the-pea-and-the-sun]

columbo being a cop is like. so insane to me. like i feel like the writers go out of their way to make sure you know that columbo is like not like those other cops. dude hates guns, doesnt carry one, almost gets fired because of how determined he is to not learn how to use one. hes always as respectful to criminals as he can be. and ofc ppl talk about how the murderers are basically always a lot weathier than he is, but like the show will rly go out of its way to reassert that hes not wealthy at all and hes constantly sticking out when hes around well to-do people. like in the cruise liner episode he says multiple times basically unprompted that his wife won the cruise and he would never be able to afford it otherwise. like "gee i'd never be able to afford a thing like this!" is practically one of his catchphrases. also ppl mention the episode where he literally gets mistaken for a homeless man at a soup kitchen but they dont mention that after hes given food during the misunderstanding he proceeds to just sit down and eat it?? like they already made him a tray so hes not gonna WASTE it. man is absolutely not too good for a free meal. and then just starts chatting with and gathering info from the homeless ppl around him like he would anywhere else.

like how did we go from this to crime shows where every other episode a bunch of intimidating gun toting cops in clean suits go around questioning caricatures of prostitutes in shady alley ways. columbo was hugely influential and established a lot of the hallmarks of detective shows and yet someone looked at that and thought "hmm but what if the criminals were all pure evil gross freaks !!" we've gone backwards

What’s your best/favorite tma headcanon?

According to the people on tumblr.com my BEST headcanon is the fact I think Jon is Homeless and lying about it (full essay in the works)

My FAVORITE however is kind of a crack headcanon? So basically everyone who works in the archive who is bound by the eye is tied to a specific shirt that they CANNOT get rid of, like they can choose to not wear it but it needs to be nearby. Because the eye said so, I’m guessing it works on some comfort clothes kinda thing like you’d have with a blankie or stuffy and not knowing where it is makes you freak out.

But basically I call this “Jon’s gross cardigan” even though it does extend to everyone in the archive

Initially this was caused by me seeing a spoiler early on where Tim says Gertrude is “more cardigan than woman” and I though he was being a bit too literal and spooky (my fucking autism/j) and logically this cardigan thing would then extend to Jon

And during Jon’s s2 breakdown we all know he was a gross little basement boy in his paranoia soup, and he’s always running around those tunnels, so I started imagining him with this like, really gross almost knee length cardigan with tears at the bottom, coffee stains and whatnot, so obviously all the others who are at this point worried about him are trying to like get him to stop wearing the cardigan (telling themselves they don’t have their their own spooky shirt) and he just refuses because!! That’s his comfort cardigan!!!

They do manage to get rid of the cardigan a couple times but it just comes right back eventually

The fandom always seemed really set on giving characters really specific shirts, like Martin and his jumpers and Tim and his colorful Hawaiian shirts, which is why I figured it would be funny if this extended to everyone else (also imagine Tim desperately trying to quit AND being violently upset that he feels compelled to always wear a super colourful Hawaiian shirt, would absolutely fuel the rest of the institute staffs belief that he had some kinda breakdown)

Anyways I hope you like reading because I’m deathly allergic to being concise (:

Ask me things and I will NEVER shut up, I promise

[slithymomerath]

Let’s normalize hearing “I know I should do X, but it’s hard for me because Y” and responding with kindness and understanding, in all contexts.

For one example, I have ADHD and appetite issues that make me have a hard time brushing my teeth before bed. For the longest time, I was too ashamed to say to anyone, “I know I should brush my teeth before bed, but it’s hard for me” because I was afraid they’d say “ew, you’re so gross!” or “you have to change that, your teeth are all going to rot”. Now I have a really great roommate who responds with kindness when I say things like that. And you know what? That made me follow it up with “hm, my appetite problems aren’t so bad anymore, and also probably brushing my teeth before bed is better than not brushing them at all even if I keep snacking afterwards, so I’m going to try to start doing it”. I just needed a non-judgmental space to explore what was blocking me.

A similar thing has happened with my relationship with homeless people. For a long time, I felt really bad about not giving to homeless people when I saw them, but the idea of stopping and taking out my wallet on a crowded street made me really anxious. Also, I was worried that I couldn’t possibly know how much to give people, because on one hand they all definitely need it more than me, but on the other hand I’m trying to pay off college loans and be able to get dinner with my friends, and I don’t want to live a completely destitute life where I give away everything I have. I was talking with someone who gave me the space to say “well, maybe I just need to give money to people once to get past the anxiety. Or maybe I can work around it by giving people snacks I have in my bag if they’d like those, which also solves the “how much money” problem.” Now I regularly give out granola bars and handwarmers, and I hope to keep moving in the direction of giving out money.

Now to bring these examples back to the issue I’m really addressing: I don’t think it’s productive to shame people for not boycotting or donating money to important humanitarian causes. Notice I didn’t say it’s not nice, I know a lot of you don’t care if it’s nice. (And I totally feel you! Who cares about being nice when people are dying?) I think it’s not productive, because very few people in the “I know I should do X but Y stops me” camp are going to change their behavior because you shamed them. They’re just going to unfollow or close the app. The best way to get them to do what you want is to engage with kindness and empathy, and wait for them to get to where both you and them want them to be. The important part of “I know I should X but Y” is “I know I should X”. We just gotta give them a little patience and help.

If you still have problems with this idea, I’ll just say: let they who has never neglected an important social justice cause cast the first stone.

dazai gets sent to the mafia but hes spent four years becoming a professional menace:

(I'm not saying this is how I think he would actually behave if he was transferred the idea is just funny)

-he would listen to the most vulgar music in his headphones in hopes someone would overhear (like wap or cpr or smthing) at the agency

he uses this traumatizing playlist to "accidentally" connect to Mori's bluetooth during meetings or smthing

-he practiced spreading misinformation to kunikida a lot now hes inspired to start as many ridiculous rumors as possible

he convinces almost everyone that mori wears a toupee or pees the bed or something stupid. years from now there will be gossip still going around that he started

chuuya will never fall for these, despite dazais best efforts

-introducing a lot of creative new torture methods, like in 55 minutes where he tortures someone via pudding. he just has more fun with unique torture methods even if he doesnt have to be mosty ethical anymore.

-ramps up the "suicide attempts" a whole bunch, especially when hes supposed to be doing something important. anything to cause a disturbance

-bringing up embarrassing old stories about people in front of members who don't know. chuuya would get a good portion of this treatment, but others too

-straight up refusing to do things he doesnt want to. he has a ton more power over mori now, and this could be inspired by ranpo's behavior and role in the agency

-poorly hiding meet ups with the agency to hang out. mori absolutely knows they happen and dazais practically daring him to bring it up

-terrorizing new or low ranking members who arent familiar with him

-either ignoring soukoku or with chuuyas permission, he would parade around various boyfriends and girlfriends and be gross about pda. like bringing them into restricted areas and stuff

-dazai would be flippant about work but also secretly digging his fingers as deep as he can into as many different facets of the mafia as possible. like it's all lowkey in his palm and no one knows how it happened

-i can imagine him creating a memorial for oda and the kids right in front of moris face. or out of moris money somehow. something to forever remind mori of that event

-like above, stealing moris money or the mafias budget and donating it to homeless people or an orphanage lmao. hiding his footprints tho, it wasnt him (mori knows but cant prove it)

-mori knows but cant prove it seems like it would be a common theme. idk how dazai did this but it was def him

-anything to ruin the mafias reputation. being silly and stupid in front of important people, disregarding the power hierarchy in both directions, etc. just absolutley disrupting the cultural environment. redecorating to ruin the dark and mysterious vibe

[ironwoodprotectionsquad]

I thought the epilogue itself had me as mad as I could be but I was wrong. We have more ableism and more refusal to see that people might be pissed off at Team RW//BY and might graffiti their memorial and might be right to feel those emotions because of the horrific actions of RW/BY and the harm they caused.

Regarding the ableism it just feels like we’re taking a jab at James’s prosthetics and making a point to say that him being alive was just “luck” and the implication his “luck” ran out and it was deserved because he was a bad person feels gross.

Their is also the fact that…if we’re supposed to loath James and Jacques, why would a memorial be built for them? It makes no sense. It makes more sense for someone to have defaced RW//BY’s memorial. However I don’t have any faith that said person won’t be demonized and shown to be a terrible evil person whose opinions don’t matter vs actually addressing the harm RW//BY’s actions caused and admitting they messed up and people are allowed to be hurt and upset about this.

A massive group of people have become homeless and thrown into a hostile environment that is completely different from the one they lived in. They have nothing all because of the choices RW//BY made and the show refuses to discuss that or touch on it at all and it drives me insane. RW//BY fucked up big time. People and the show needs to accept that and push forward and work to have the mains earn peoples trust again and to actually be heroes worthy of bringing the world together and being so beloved by the people.

An actual excuse I’ve seen for the misogynistic things Jean says about Dora is that he 'was just quoting Harry'

I’ve seen that applied to like all of his dialogue. People are so intent on rewriting this character to be someone he’s not that they've developed sherlock fan style justifications and conspiracy theories about the cop who

shot up churches with Harry

stole mustard from a homeless person

will leave Harry (a suicidal man who has been shot) to die

(in a town with no doctors)

(after lying to him about Kim's condition)

(saying he’s dying.)

(Kim isn’t dying and is in actuality VERY MAD that Jean didn’t come for Harry after the tribunal)

(and blaming Kim's being shot on Harry when Jean himself did nothing for days out of spite)

(also there’s no doctors in Martinaise and Harry is living a shack.)

(he won’t even take him back to his apartment or a doctor)

All about how he is actually totally a saint trying his bestest :( his job of brutalizing civilians and shooting up churches is just so hard on him

It’s driving me BONKERS. Jean as a character is fascinating in his wretchedness as much as Harry or Kim or Lely and he is constantly denied the behavior he displays in canon for a fanon characterization that’s utterly toothless and meaningless in the broader dialogue of disco elysium

with the added bonus that he is frequently used by fans as a mouth piece for their gross anti addict rhetoric

[etherealsign282]

People can have a good life and still be depressed, suffering from trauma/mental illnesses, etc

You don't get to determine that you're more mentally ill or more broken than someone who has bounced back from all the hell they've been through, just because you refuse to keep yourself afloat for some self-prophesized martyrdom

I don't think "Everyone reacts to mental illness differently" was ever an excuse for being a bully or terrible person, because being an abuser has nothing to do with being mentally ill. But it is a tool to help people UNDERSTAND why some may stand with a broken leg, and others fall apart over a sprained ankle, and with everything else in between.

And we should be holding space for both, but not by letting them walk all over everybody else and direct the mental health community like they know best. Or by making it seem that some can play the victim more out of anybody when they screw up, because realistically they have refused every opportunity given to them to heal, because being mentally broken is comforting for them, vs other people finding comfort in growth. The comfort to pretty much be a dick is a reason, not an excuse. As in, it explains the behavior, but it doesn't mean you can bypass consequences or accountability due to it. You're still pretty much a dick.

I'm going to sympathize with the fact that you can't seem to get your life on track, I sympathize with the fact that you can't seem to figure out how to cope and heal, I sympathize that you'd rather shroud yourself in misery, but I'm also not going to let you tell me that I only made it this far because i must not be as broken as you, because everyone reacts differently. (And again, reacting differently doesn't excuse shitty behavior, nor does it excuse you to dismiss someone else's mental illnesses).

I made it because I made myself strong, despite my trauma. I didn't have the opportunity or the golden ticket to wake up and just one day do everything I needed to do. I pushed myself, with a lot of tears, panic attacks, thoughts of giving up, to put it short. And if you think I wasn't suffering when I had to do what I had to do, to not be a sludgy ball of self deprecating, self victimized goop, you haven't even begun trying to take the first steps.

And you know what, that's your prerogative. Because everyone copes or reacts differently. But not being able to do it is not because "the mental illness is so much more powerful than everybody else's so pity me and don't feel good about yourself".

Idk how y'all can look people in the eyes and say that when you don't know what they've been through, or how severe their struggles are. Some people be fighting demons and it's "my parents divorced when I was 10 and I was never forgiven for cheating on my girlfriend" and letting it destroy their entire world, then comparing it to abuse, trafficking, kidnapping, assault, homelessness, schizophrenia, BPD, NPD, anxiety, PTSD, literally anything and everything without knowing, and claiming that that person isn't as fxcked in the head because they managed to move past it.

Again it's your prerogative to react how you want to react, everyone reacts differently.

(Again doesn't excuse it if its abusive, but). But like, a lot of y'all wanna take the credit for when you do something great despite the mental illnesses, bc it's you and your accomplishments, but can't take the responsibility when you cripple yourself, and would rather discredit everybody else as just not being mentally ill enough to validate yourself when you react poorly. It's kinda gross, the double standard. Not everything negative = mental illness while everything positive = you (sometimes y'all got people doing everything for you). Why does that just sound like a rehashed form of Christians blaming everything bad on satan, and praising God for everything good, no matter what? It's all just been rehashed forms of lacking accountability or lacking awareness since the beginning.

[sapphire-heart-tippy]

Some Voidverse! Stuff

(links for context: tipvans dialogue joke doodles)

Here's some "brief" background and some of the story:

So, Vanilla and Tippy both went through the same type of stuff in their lives, HOWEVER, the way they both handled it is swapped. So instead of Tippy being laid back and mischeivous, Vanilla is the one who's that way. Instead of Vanilla being serious and intimidating, Tippy is the one who is like that.

Vanilla is the newbie in Dio's mansion, even though he's lived in Egypt all of his life. So here's how the story plays out:

Vanilla would always act more like the class clown, trying to make everyone laugh even though he is hurting badly inside. Cream is still his stand because he still has that aching void in his heart. He was kicked out of the orphanage like in The Sapphire Heartverse. He ends up homeless, but he doesn't give up hope. Unfortunately, every job he gets, he ends up getting fired for messing things up... badly. People in his community already don't like him very much in the first place. They have given him chance after chance, but still Vanilla's clumsiness and inattentiveness end up being his downfall.

The final straw was when he worked at a cafe, got distracted by a guy he thought was cute, and ended up destroying the coffee machine. This ends in an explosion of scalding hot coffee everywhere. Not only hitting himself and the customers, but also ruining the decor and staining everything. His manager is enraged and yells at him to grab his things and get the hell out. Yet another store he has been banned from.

Vanilla is completely at a loss at this point and nobody wants anything to do with him. That is... until one day... He hears about this guy. JOJO. Word on the street is, a very rich man by the name of Jonathan Joestar, is willing to give damn near anyone a chance at a job. He pays them heavily, but nobody really knows what jobs that might entail. Vanilla is desperate at this point, so he follows the directions on where to apply.

Once he meets JOJO, he is instructed to show his stand Cream and his parameters. Vanilla gets a job as one of JOJO's servants. Much to JOJO's surprise, Vanilla is very enthusiastic... but he is also very clumsy and not very bright.

Vanilla meets some of his other colleagues. The very posh and eloquent Hol Horse, the intelligent bookworm Terence, and the outgoing deaf man N'Doul. When Vanilla helps himself to whatever is in the community fridge, he freaks out when he sees the head of Dio Brando, JOJO's brother. (pretty much what happened in canon, just swapped)

Vanilla is freaked out, and grossed out, but he says it's cool anyway. Soon he meets JOJO's right hand man, Tippy. When he sees everyone gives this short, twiggy little blue haired guy utmost respect and fear, Vanilla bursts out laughing. He makes fun of the fact that he could punt Tippy across Cairo twice without any issue. To this, Tippy at a lightning fast speed, points Sapphire Heart's spear under Vanilla's chin. He demands respect from the underlings and he damn well gets it. No matter how tall, large, or strong a minion may be, they do as they're told when Tippy is the one giving orders. They call him JOJO's pet, because he wears a large spiked collar around his neck. If there's one man the fear almost as much as JOJO himself, it's Tippy.

Vanilla, on the other hand, starts to get a little bit of a crush on Tippy. JOJO instructs Tippy to spar with Vanilla and train him on how to use his stand. Tippy is incredibly fast and limber, pinning Vanilla down with ease, backing him up into a corner with no issue, and defeating him each and every time. Vanilla doesn't want to use Cream to hurt people. Tippy tells him that he might not have a choice one day. The Brandos are heading this way to defeat JOJO any day now, and they need to be prepared to fight for his life so things can go back to normal.

Over time, Vanilla and Tippy start talking with each other a lot more. Vanilla tends to mess things up because he doesn't know his own strength and can't really understand where his body is in relation to things around him. This is also apparent with his own stand. Vanilla accidentally knocks things over, bumps into people, hits them on accident, and even hits himself a lot unintentionally.

One day, Vanilla is trying to help Tippy make dinner for everyone in the mansion. He goes, "Check this out." and ends up crushing an egg in his fist, spraying the egg's contents all over his face and his fist. Bewildered, Tippy actually laughs (cackles maniacally), to Vanilla's surprise. Xe helps him clean up the mess and asks what he was thinking. Vanilla, embarrassed, says that there was a trick where there's two points on an egg where no matter how hard you squeeze it, it won't break. Tippy, curiously, picks up an egg and examines it. Xe squeezes it as hard as xe can, finding the two points,

"Like this?"

Vanilla nods sheepishly,

"Yeah, like that, heh."

Throughout the months they get to know each other, Tippy develops a soft spot for Vanilla and thinks about him a lot. After going through a fight with a rogue stand user, where Tippy gets scars all across his left arm and chest, xe and Vanilla have a heart to heart chat. Soon, Vanilla confesses that he really likes Tippy and he wants to be with him. They both fall in love and end up together

[angel-in-shibari]

you obviously know nothing about what "terfs" believe in. radical feminism is a far left movement. your whole rant is so embarrassing and clearly shows you've never read any feminist theory, been in feminist spaces, or interacted with a single radical feminist ever.

if radical feminism is far left, why do you and the far right both want to commit genocide against trans people, sex workers, homeless people, disabled people, etc.? I've never seen a single radfem say one positive thing about any of those groups of people. it's always "they are a disgrace to feminism! they shouldn't exist! they make all women look bad! we need to get rid of them all!"

and before you say "oh genocide is such a strong word", this is the official definition of genocide from the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: The Convention defines genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such." These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group.

you already have at least three of these right now for transgender people. trans people are more than four times more likely to be murdered, assaulted, or raped. laws are being passed to strip them of their rights, and you freaks scream so much about "protect the children" which you think can only be enacted by forcing the child to live in a very specific restrictive and harmful way, rather than letting the child make their own decisions. sex workers are also facing some of these, particularly by making their work illegal. you paint all sex workers as helpless victims being trafficed by some gross man, but most of them are literally just people who record their own porn at home to make money, and rather than victims of abuse, are instead victims of poverty and capitalism. if you actually cared about helping them, you'd fight to raise the minimum wage and get rid of stupid restrictions that prevent them from working normal jobs, instead of throwing them in jail because they sell their own ass pics online. homeless people are also major victims of capitalism, as well as being tightly interconnected with the trans community. a large portion of houseless people are trans, and trans people are more likely to be homeless than cis people, mainly due to transphobia. but rather than helping them, ie providing them with houses and jobs and accessible food and water, you want to make it illegal for them to exist, and encourage police to destroy their tents and steal what little possessions they have. and disabled people get the most shit. as someone whos both physically and mentally disabled (plantar fasciitis and arthritis at age 20, as well as autism, anorexia, and add), I can tell you first hand that we get treated like absolute shit, and half the time aren't seen as human. I was fired from my last job because I dared to ask to use a cane at work. nothing is accessible for us, we are constantly excluded from society, and if we ever want to get married and have children, our benifits are taken away. I've seen multiple instances of children being taken away by cps from moms with eating disorders or histories of self harm. they think that because they had trouble taking care of themselves in the past, that they are incapable of healing and unable to provide for their children. even worse, people constantly beg people with autism and adhd not to have kids for fear of passing down autism and "cursing their children with that terrible illness". I can say that ignoring the people who constantly treat you like shit, living with autism is absolutely fine and not at all a curse.

I've never seen any single one of you terfs advocate for the rights of these groups even a single time. it's always hate and bigotry with you. you'd rather us all die than do a single thing to make any of our lives moderately easier. I doubt you even see any of us as human. and you dare call yourself a feminist? you dare call yourself left wing? you make me sick. honestly I think every single one of you needs therapy.

Rant about living homeless in the US under the cut

For the past few months I have been living in motels because we were displaced by flooding, we did everything "right" in the eyes of society, my mom and dad had jobs and me and my brother were doing good in school but a flood made our apartment building uninhabitable due to mold growing in the foundation of the house and the insulation in the walls.

We lived with a friend for around three months and then we moved three and a half hours away from the small town I grew up in and enrolled me into a school where I knew absolutely nobody and LET ME TELL YOU HOW AWFUL I WAS TREATED AT THAT SCHOOL.

I have a viable disability (I need a cane) and there is a group of boys who steal my cane at lunch and the teachers tell me that it's not a big deal because they "just want to be friends but don't know how to say it" SO THEY TAKE MY FUCKING MOBILITY AID???

The girls are worse. One of them wanted to "hang out" with me and asked me where I live, I was dumb enough to tell her and bring her over to the shit motel room I was living in and we talked for thirty minutes and then she had to go home, sounds normal right? Well she told everyone in the grade that I'm homeless and my parents chain smoke cigarettes (a lie) and my brother sells drugs (also a lie) and a group of girls started buying soap and giving to me at lunch. Keep in mind I'm lucky enough to have a place to stay clean and even smelling "nice" (I have sensory issues so nice to nerotypical people smells gross to me) and when I told a teacher they said the girls were just "worried about my living situation"

I've been called all sorts of names and slurs, I've been called a dirty animal, my peers have told me they want me dead, I've been called a schizophrenic freak (there is nothing wrong with being schizophrenic), I've been called a fat tranny, I have been put through hell because my home was flooded, something that is COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL!

Can we please treat all homeless people like people and not animals. It doesn't matter if they're homeless because they are addicted to drugs, because they lost their job, because they were kicked out of where they were living, or displaced by a natural disaster, I just want to be treated like a fucking person please.

Back at it with delightful background bits in Fionna and Cake.

Link to first post (Not posting them remotely in episode order I'm afraid.)

Cheers - Episode 10

1./2./3. Everyone runs past a hamburger joint... only to faceplant in front of the exact same hamburger joint a few steps later. (Also "Evergreen Flowers", lol.) The repeating backgrounds happen a few times in Fionna world (In Episode one, they keep passing the same background taco place while Fionna is giving her tour), but this one is probably the most obvious.

4. "LEARN TO KICK: Plate, Him, Her, Bug"

5. And later on in the ep when Cake does in fact learn to kick that bug. (Also: "CALL DAN" lmao)

6. Breezy spotted! (I can't for the life of me figure out who the other two characters in this scene are and it bothers the hell out of me.)

7. "Tooth Sale" (This whole section is just a treasure.)

8. So we've got Queenie obviously, Lord Monochromicorn in the back, Fern, DJ Flame and Breezy almost off screen, and alsoooo...

9./10. lol

11. Another crowd shot. Now with Turtle Prince in the top right. And I am once again burdened by the fact that I have no idea who a few of these people are. ;_; Is the person with the spot around their eye Tromo? Dr Gross? Who's the person in the top left whose hair looks like ears? Glasses and mustache? Purple hair, nose ring and head phones person who keeps showing up with Breezy?? Damned if I know.

12. "Lump"

Time for a rapid fire collection of worlds Simon steps on on his way back to Ooo:

13./14./15. Lich, Vampire, Tiny Bears (Rip tiny bear world apple cart.)

16./17./18. Baby world, Melted Winter King World, some sort of horrible factory world

19./20./21. Farmworld, different art style world (Is it a real show?/otherwise extant art style? Shout out if you recognize it.), Jake world

22./23. Fire world and finally; Ooo

24./25. This is the exact same crosswalk as Episode 1. (Also? I've been suspicious of flowers sticking through windows since noticing the "Help Me" plant in Episode 5, but sadly, they didn't end up being as much of a reoccurring theme as I'd hoped.)

26. Saw another post pointing this out first but including it anyway: Scarab fucks over those poor lil' homeless hamsters. Smh.

27./28. There's still some leftover wackiness in the architecture and store fronts

29. Love that some of the new houses look like they're built in farmworld style.

30./31. As I mentioned in another post; seems like the world is no longer (or at least less) glitchy after being made canon. (Forgive the formatting on that last one. The Image limit on posts is 30. >.>)

RIGHT. So. That was episode 10, but it's only the second background details post I've drafted so far. Probably going to post these two, and get around to diving into the earlier episodes slowly/when I've got the time.

YEESH. This series is just a delight. Every dang shot of it is done with care, and it's just wonderful to go through. <3

Got a little lazy with it tbh

@whump-blog

CW: Substance abuse/drugs, abusive family, pet whump, trafficking, classism/ableism,

…He was clearly way out of his league in this part of town.

Everything there looked repulsive to him, from the agglomerated apartments in tiny unkempt buildings, to the dark maze like alleyways filled with trash and inhibited by homeless, the smell of smoke and urine, people high off their minds lying in the corners and the prostitutes in front of their shiny brothels.

There were lots of runaway pets here too, who had escaped their masters but found themselves unable to survive in any decent way.

If he found one of those, it would be a bonus, but it wasn’t required.

No, he just needed to find the dirtiest, messiest person he could. This poverty ridden district was perfect for it.

Meanwhile, Farlan wore an expensive suit. The watch on his wrist cost more than some of those houses, and his cologne fought bravely against the smell of filth. He touched his eye lightly, the skin there still sore and swollen from being beaten by his father.

And that's why he was here, in the first place.

Then, he saw it.

Leaning against a pile of trash bags on the floor, a cigarette between his lips that he barely seemed conscious of, clearly fucked out of his mind.

And he was. Odd.

While most he could pinpoint to body modifications - tattoos, including ink black up until his elbows, horn like piercings on his head, a black and green mohawk - he also had other details that just… didn’t seem possible.

His ears, for once, seemed too large to have been just operated. And his hands were shaped and crooked in ways he didn’t think was possible to get chirurgicale, almost claw-like, and eyes glowing an unnatural shade of green.

He was perfect. Just the biggest fuck you he could have to his father, who loved all things pristine and controlled carefully under his tongue.

‘Fuck you looking at, fancy boy?” the man barked, and Farlan realized he had been staring for far too long.

He got up in a second, baring sharp teeth as if about to bite him, twitching and turning out of control, eyes red and dilated. He seemed like he could give him rabies - and was also quite attractive.

It was also kind of funny to see him trying to be intimidating, when he was so short compared to Farlan, and far too scrawny.

“...You are perfect,” he says, smirking.

“...that I am,” the guy replies, slightly fixing his posture “Are you here for a fuck?”

“Something like that”

“It’s gonna cost yah…” he lowers his head, noticing the watch on Farlan’s wrist “a lot”

“I’ve got money” He shrugs, examining the guy better. He sees no barcodes, but his arms and hands are pitch black until up to his elbow… “And I’m on the market for a freak. Are you a pet?”

“Well, I can bark if you’d like me to,” he replies “Collars too, but again. It will cost yah”

Well, not a pet then. They are never that calm when they are found out.

He rolls his eyes.

“How’s this for the whole night?” he asks, pulling some notes out of his wallet “We are going to a party”

…He flinches back, then eyes the money. It’s a lot…

“...How many guys…?” he asks cautiously.

“Just me” he says back “You won’t have to do anything to anyone else. I just want you there”

He narrows his eyes, tempted by the money but not liking his words.

“Why, then?” The asks.

“...There’s just this old man I want to spite”

“Your ex?”

“What - fuck no!” He makes a grossed out face.

“Your dad then”

“You are fucking nosy for some whore” he says, getting aggravated now. Fuck, even in this hellhole people gotta get on his nerves “Are you up for it or not?”

…He considers it a little longer, before getting and pocketing the money.

“Fine. But if you want me to fuck someone else later - you’ll pay me extra”

“Don’t worry” he rolls his eyes, thinking no one there would even want to fuck something so filthy “...Let’s go”

He calls up a cab, pushing the twitching, shivering thing inside of it. And he stinks, almost as bad as that sewage space.

He knows the point is to have him be repulsive, but he at least needs a shower, or Farlan himself will end up vomiting.

He gives the cab driver the address to the hotel. It’s been fully closed for his father’s party, and brimming with his fancy guests.

So he thinks he will be mad as fuck to see him arrive with something as fucked up as this crack whore he found on a ditch.

And it will be his own fault, for taking his pet again despite his protests.

He notices he’s grinding his teeth, and pressing on the bruise again. Fucking hell.

"So…" the whore asks, his demeanor changing into something soft and submissive. It's almost pet-like, but with pets there's always fear behind the submission. With this guy… there's something dangerous bubbling. It almost makes it better "...What do you want me to be like, love? Tell me your fantasies… I'll make them true"

Farlan smirks. Would be cute if he wasn't so dirty and so out of his mind, whatever drugs he had used making him shiver and twitch, making quick moves with his head to the side.

"What's your name?" He realizes he didn't really ask. He doesn't even know if it's appropriate to.

"Orfeu" he replies, moving closer and leaning his head on Farlan's arm.

It takes everything on him not to shove him aside, and he makes a mental note to throw that suit out later "And your…. Sir?"

He smiles, and very hesitantly pets his dark hair. Hell, he hopes he doesn't have lice.

"You can call me Farlan. Mr. Farlan. Although sir… is quite pleasing as well"

He purrs, moving even closer. Farlan holds his breath, and when the whore moves to kiss him, he just shoves him off.

He catches a glimpse of hurt on his eyes. He might have missed it if he didn't live for so long with pets. But he soon recovers, purring louder.

"Hmmm will you make me beg for you siiiir??" He pouts.

"I'll make you fucking shower" he replies.

"Oh you're really a dick" the whore replies and closes his eyes, leaning back against Farlan.

"Hey. Don't sleep" he demands, shaking him.

He quickly fixes himself up, staring ahead…

He moves all of a sudden, and thankfully the window is open for him to throw up out of.

Fuck… This dude is not just fucked up, he seems to be genuinely having trouble. He sits back, cuddling up to Farlan with some drool running down his cheek.

He's already regretting this plan… but they stop at the hotel and it's too late to go back now.

He doesn't miss the way the clerk twists his nose at their new guest when he opens the door for Farlan.

The whore just flips him off, and Farlan realizes he can barely stand at this point, leaning on him for support.

"Man, you're a fucking mess" he complains, dragging his whore back to his room, immediately pushing him towards the bathroom.

He doesn't protest, giggling a little as Farlan starts to take out his clothes….

Then Farlan stops.

He… never had this before. He's never been with anyone who wasn't a pet. Even if a whore isn't all that above one… he still feels like it's different.

"Uh… is this okay?" He asks, taken back to the times when he actually bothered asking his pet.

He just giggles "of course love-" and he takes Farlan's hand, putting it inside his pants.

Farlan pulls it out immediately, grossed out.

The whore steps back, once again seeming hurt.

"What? I'm not giving you cooties dumbass" he says, and bares his teeth, then seems to remember his place "...sorry. Sir. Would you rather just watch?"

He offers, rolling his hips.

"Yeah" Farlan says, still staying close enough to catch him if he falls "hm. Don't they bother you?"

"...what? My massive badonkadonks? No. They are hot" he replies, tossing aside the cropped and freeing his breasts "Do they bother you?"

"Yeah. I mean. Not yours. Mine did" he stutters "I got them out as soon as I could"

That seems to surprise Orfeu, making him smile.

"...Oh. So it's t-cock on the menu today"

Farlan can't help but giggle.

"Yeah, sure," he shrugs.

"Well I'm good with it too. No worries" he winks, taking his shorts off and dipping his fingers down there, with a forced moan.

"...less touching and more washing" Farlan demands, seeing as the guy is just masturbating now.

He shrugs again, getting the sponge and side eyeing him.

Then, he turns around, and Farlan's eyes go wide.

…Scars. Made by a whip, he'd recognize it anywhere. But that's not the worst. His back was turned into a single bruise, likely by a belt.

"...If you aren't a pet" he replies "what's that bruise about?"

"...You got a bruise too, sir, and I'm not making stupid questions about it"

He loses it for a moment, pushing the whore against the shower wall, pressing him there. He doesn't seem phased.

"If you are a fucking pet, I might as well keep you to myself. Or maybe return you to your owner" he threatens.

"If I was a fucking pet, I'd have stabbed you already"

They stare at each other, water falling between them.

Farlan let 's go.

"Then why are you hurt?"

"Rough play, love. Costs extra" he replies dismissively and goes back to washing his sponge.

He's not convinced, but drops the subject. It's not his problem.

"There. I'm clean now" his whore whimpers, wrapping himself on a towel "what now… Sir?"

"Now you dress this" he replies, tossing him a dress. It 's plaid and very short, but it does fit him nicely "Good. I hope you are ready to party"

…initially it goes as planned.

The men look at him, Gerard's son, arriving with some dirty, drugged up street whore who looks like the spawn of Satan.

They whisper and stare, and Farlan is more than pleased about it. He's even happy to tell them where he found him.

They even seem to stop hurting his pet a little, the e white haired thing hanging from an intricate shibari built where his father placed him.

They hurt him.

Even from a distance, he can spot the blood and bruises on him and he's furious. No one should hurt his pet other than him.

But he can never fucking win.

Soon, he's pulled aside by his dad. Despite the blank expression, Farlan's learned to recognize that man's anger anywhere.

"What the fuck were you thinking?" He hisses, eyeing Orfeu who just waves and giggles, way out of his mind "bringing this fucking crackhead here?"

"Well… you took my pet so… I needed some company" he replies, grinding his teeth.

"Farlan, you…" he stops, taking a deep breath and glaring at Orfeu "You, whore. What are you called?"

"...Orfeu. Whore's fine too"

"...I'll pay you ten thousand to serve my guests tonight"

Their jaws drop.

"Holy shit -"

"You can't fucking do that" Farlan yells, half to Orfeu, half to his dad. He holds his arm "No- no I paid for you-"

"Hmmmm. He paid a lot more" The whore replies, stumbling out of Farlan's arms and into Gerards.

His dad stares down at Farlan, as he goes to announce Orfeu to the guests.

…he leans against the wall, feeling utterly defeated.

At least, that seems to distract the guests from his pet, and a few hours in, he manages to take it back to his bedroom.

He sighs, some tears dropping down his face when he washes the pets back.

The little thing knows better than to ask about it. He just silently sobs, having his own wounds and pain to bear.

"...it's okay" he whispers, massaging the white hair "... it's over. I'll take it easy on you this week"

The pet nods, affectionately nuzzling him.

…it kind of repulses him. It's hard to care about things he has no control over. Things he can't even protect, knowing he'll eventually lose him.
