#god I’m so exhausted by this

[canidae-dyke]

I’m so fucking tired of this stupid fucking resurgence of people arguing that misandry is real or a coherent form of oppression at all so I wanna address this more directly. Most of the arguments I’ve seen rely on the fact that men are harmed and constrained by the patriarchy, and you know what, that’s true!

But cis people are harmed and constrained by the existence of the gender binary. That doesn’t mean that cisphobia is real. Straight people are harmed and constrained by heteronormativity, but that doesn’t make heterophobia real.

I really thought this stuff was obvious but I guess it isn’t. I need all of you who are complaining about “misandry” to understand that you sound like the down with cis bus post

AU where steve and eddie are neighbors and pet parents to furry friends who are near replicas of themselves.

eddie is a dog dad to a massive doberman named zeus who wears a chain for a collar and has a permanently angry face. despite his appearance and general demeanor, zeus is a scaredy cat when it comes to other animals. eddie is always worried leaving him behind with his friends. scared that their own pets are going to make zeus nervous the whole time he’s gone and that he’s going to get even more shy as a result.

steve is the proud owner of a beautiful white persian cat with the prettiest blue eyes named charlotte. she’s picky with her food and very selective with who she decides she likes. so far, steve and robin are her favorites and every pet sitter steve has ever chosen was quickly on her shit list. every other animal she’s even met is too. even down to robin’s fish. that lives in a tank. and can’t bother her.

one day steve asks eddie if he could pet sit while steve’s gone back home for the weekend. tells him he has a cat who is too prissy for her own good and will probably be so dramatic if she doesn’t like something that he does. eddie laughs and he agrees but warns him he has a dog that’s kind of shy, but says he can keep them separated for a couple of days. steve drops charlotte off with her pink floor pillow and her food and his fingers crossed that he doesn’t get a call that she’s not eating within the hour.

when steve returns, having heard nothing from eddie all weekend, he’s beyond surprised when eddie answers the door with a smile and a “you’re not gonna believe this.”

he walks into eddie’s apartment and finds zeus curled up in his bed asleep and charlotte curled against his side peeking at steve and eddie with her head tilted.

against all odds, zeus and charlotte quickly become inseparable and steve and eddie do too.

au august day 5: pet sitters

Not my group member sending me a “oh yeah by the way” text to let me know he forgot to tell me he has a driving test at the exact same time as the presentation and that he won’t be able to attend the presentation but he wishes me and the one other member who just popped up last week after multiple emails since November showed up, “all the best on the presentation” and that I should let him know how it went…

driving tests are booked weeks in advance in London so you knew the whole time you weren’t going to present…

I Have to keep reminding myself that Avery is a just as shitty experience (and person( as other npcs, since as a player, who’s always in control, they’ve been a purely positive encounter for me.

She only pops up once a week and throws a bunch of cash at you for a relatively small chunk of game time. An incredible W for what’s really easy money.

But if I actually consider what that would entail, then yeah jfc.

She literally clocks a vulnerable person in a school uniform, presents herself as charming, helpful and kind and proceeds to take them out for coffee. To groom them into her sugar baby (AND THEN ASKS THIS POOR FUCKING ORPHANED STUDENT TO GET THEMSELF CLEANED UP FOR A DATE??? AVERY HAVE YOU CHECKED THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THOSE CLOTHES COST??)

(honestly I feel like you could jack up Avery’s encounter difficulty just by them gaining rage or commenting on your clothes/maybe even breaking off the date if you wear the same outfit too many times , although that would also mean they’d have to add more formal clothes into the game)

She gets upset as soon as you don’t play into her expectations (wants you to drink but god forbid if you want to eat smth of substance and not a shitty salad, while she gets the fancy ass fish soup with gold flakes. Literally gets miffed about you taking the lead when dancing, even if it makes her look better)

Expects you to give her your attention and energy, to uphold the facade, to appear interested and invested without having to actually engage with another human being (except for a surface level like: what the fuck is wrong with her to actually ask the player how their school grades are?? Insane)

(honestly Avery, babes, beloved , you’re expecting a lot from a - checks game - canonically 16 whoops, I mean 18 year old. I don’t know the rates of professional escorts but I feel like you might be underpaying you sugar babies lmao)

Not to mention all of the skills and energy you’d need. I’m getting tired just thinking about it. You’d need to be able to read people, be well spoken, decent at acting or lying, either be charismatic and charming or confident enough to make that aloof thing work for you. Confident in your looks/body/make up skills, experienced to a degree in sex and be able to dance?…. Avery you’re DEFINITELY underpaying those sugar babies fnfnfn
