Your first pride story was touching and all but you still married a man.
Yeah, bisexuals do that sometimes.
#thank god the first people i encountered in the queer community didn't have this shitty pov#because i spent 16 years feeling like an imposter in my ultra conservative christian community because i liked girls and boys#and if my first terrified forays into the queer community told me i was an imposter there as well#unless i performed my queerness to their specific liking#I cant imagine how lost I would have felt#pro tip: if you're telling someone they can't be part of the family unless they deny a part of themselves#you are part of the problem#bisexual#lgbtq#queer#gatekeeping

Sukuna as a Firefighter (Part 1)
Next ->
You met firefighter!Sukuna pretty much how you would meet any other fireman.
Your lungs choking on smoke while you think: Yup this is it. I'm going to die young. Fresh out of college. On my first job where something in the office kitchen decided to short circuit and—
You're barely conscious when someone kicks down the door. Dressed in full heavy gear, large boots and a mask covering his face.
He picks you up like you weigh nothing, shielding you from the smoke and fire as he carries you out. The world is spinning around you as you're placed on the stretcher. Your eyes roll up as you wheeze. You can barely hear what the man—your saviour—is saying.
"—Oi! Don't die on me yet!"
He curses under his breath, mutters "Stupid women. Inhaled too much smoke." and rips his mask off. He pinches your nose and opens your mouth, engulfing his mouth with yours and blows.
One, two, three, four chest compressions later and you cough out loud. You gasp and wheeze desperately as your hand shoots out to grab on to the man's jacket, grounding yourself.
Your eyes were watering as you slowly opened them.
You stare at the large man with ruffled pink hair, deep maroon eyes, strong jaw and nose, staring down at you with a scowl.
Your lips move. You mutter something to him. You were too dazed to even know what you said.
The only thing you remember is his eyebrows shooting up in surprise before you slip into unconsciousness.
#sukuna#sukuna x reader#ryomen sukuna#jjk sukuna#sukuna x you#sukuna x y/n#mine#I do NOT know how tf cprs are performed so don't come at me 🤠

Imagine, if instead of making Red Hood a crime lord and then vigilante, Jason pursues a singing career. And not just as a regular singer, but someone like Kendrick Lamar, with story-telling songs where he roasts famous people (Batman included) and does the whole theatre play, when he performs on the scene?
Jason, pulling up on the scene in Look What You Made Me Do music video style (aka, by getting out of his own grave): Sorry, the old Red Hood can't answer on the phone right no-ow! Why? Oh, because he is dead! Batfamily, stumbling across the livestream of the concert during their family dinner: 0_0
Jason: Say, Batman, you like your wards as soldiers the most? Bruce, not knowing if he should be happy, mad or just silently suffer through the stroke: ...
Tim, ranting, very excited: So, I tried to analyse his latest performance, and did you know that the beat drop in his latest song matches the exact amount of time Joker hit him with the crowbar??? Dick, sniffling: Yeah? Tim: Yeah! That's so cool! And I checked another performance of his, and the cigarette he throws in the pile and that causes a fake explosion, it is the same mark that his bio mom smoked! Tim: And, oh, so cool, but he rhymed the- Bruce, with his eye twitching: Tim. Can you. Not.
Bruce, half-delirious in the row of Jason's fans on his autograph session: Jason, please, let's go home. Jason, blowing a bubblegum: You want an autograph, mister Wayne? Sure... From Red Hood to the most okayish dad in the world. Muah. Here you go. Bruce: Jason- Teenage girls, shoving Bruce on the back: MAN, COME ON, DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THIRTY MINUTES?? WE WERE STANDING HERE FOR SIX HOURS!!! Jason, feigning a fake disappointment: Ah, you heard them, mister Wayne. Next one! Bruce: ...
#do you know idk how they found me's choke song?#Jason absolutely would sing it#especially the remastered part with a mean laugh and “this is still about you”#Jason has THE range btw so he writes albums in every genre ever#which why all family ends up liking at *least* a few of his songs#Tim still likes his easter eggs in videos and performances more than anything else#jason todd#red hood#batman#dcu#dcu comics#batfamily#dc universe#bruce wayne#batfam#dick grayson#tim drake

i wasn't sure exactly what i thought adult gideon should be doing, but i DO quite like the triple combination of cowboy-biker, drag queen, and used car salesman at the same time. she's always a busy person!
#gravity falls#gideon gleeful#it's a way for him to still perform and sing and express himself!!!#i also just love trans girl gideon headcanon in general but this is almost sort of my middle ground here#i think anything is fun... drag queen... genderfluid... transedgender...#i'm still not sure how i wanna do his body type and height and stuff cus i like him both short and huge#but i think his voice should stay exactly the same like thurop#i'll probably come back to this another time and reput some of this info on my art blog#i'd like to either think of a pun with gloria or have that as well as a drag name#theo was thinking morning glory as a name she could use#isnt it cute both mabel and gideon have star motifs#art

I truly cannot overstate how cool it is that Patrick Page’s injury is getting not only accommodated for in Hadestown, but worked into the character completely. His medical boot will be part of the costume! They are reworking the choreography for his dance with Persephone! And what’s even cooler is that this will be ON FILM!! Hadestown has been continuously making huge steps in theatre, but opening up disability representation and showcasing how disabilities can be accommodated in theatre is so important. This will be preserved on film and I really do hope it will open up many doors for disabled performers both in Hadestown and other pieces of theatre, musicals and plays and all the rest. I can’t wait to see how they incorporate this into the show and what it brings to Hades and his dynamic and relationship with Persephone. Patrick and Amber are both spectacular performers I’ve had the honour of seeing and I am so excited to see their characters evolve again alongside each other with this added level to Hades’ role. I could go on and on but it’s just so cool and Hadestown continues to be the greatest thing on stage
#hadestown you are the greatest piece of theatrical art I have ever experienced#the cast performing with their own original accents was already so important to me#my biggest ambition is to play Persephone and now when I get that role you know she’s gonna be northern Irish#way down Hadestown in MY ACCENT. how long? in MY ACCENT.#generally it’s so widely expected for performers to just do general american or english#but we don’t see that in hadestown!!!#and now this accommodation for Patrick is HUGE#hadestown

i think what pisses me off the most is that last year, nobody had trouble going against russia. companies dropped everything so they could keep russians off their sites, to block them from their news articles and to sanction in other ways. eurovision kicked it out. even steam, discord, any fucking western apps or websites have been so willing to perform in ‘activism’. musicians and celebrities speaking out and country-blocking their work, and so much more. but now what? where is all of that now for israel? where are all the brands leaving the country to ‘protest’? where is anything? what pisses me off the most is that none of them have actually really cared about ukraine, ever, and none of them care about palestine now.
#palestine#like that one post said. it’s all just performative and saccharine#i know this is not my typical genre of post but the hypocrisy is actually maddening . and what happened today is so awful i don’t know how#anyone can stay quiet#also i know this post makes it sound like the sanctions were last year only. but no they’re still on going#because of course they are

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?
You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?
#those 'monday is a general strike stay home if you can!!!' posts are SO performative and they really annoy me#like. you MUST know you can't organize a general strike of tens of millions of people by sharing an infographic on twitter. Right?#don't even get me started on the most recent one that was like 'we understand the last strike only gave one day of notice'#'so this time we're giving you two! strike is on tuesday everyone don't forget!'#like GENUINELY was that supposed to be a joke#the linked article also touches on how difficult actual organizing a workplace is which is nice#because they mention previous failed attempts in which organizers basically just handed out leaflets#and assumed the benefits would be obvious. which i think is basically the equivalent of posting an infographic on twitter#which is to say - not effective at all. Organizing is a LOT of work! Running an effective union even more so!#labor rights

Accommodating for your needs instead of fighting against them feels like switching from hardcore mode to peaceful mode in a video game.Like what do you mean I feel way better now.What do you mean getting ready for bed no longer leads to frustration/stress.This is awesome sauce.You’re telling me I could’ve just done this the whole time.Damn.
#cripplepunk#actually disabled#it’s mental how much easier things get when you let go of the idea that you have to perform wellness for anyone
