Saw one of your replies on the national forests post, and had to say you have THE COOLEST job. Keep on trucking, that's awesome.
Hi there! Thanks for the kind words. I agree, it is a super cool job, and we need more young people becoming environmental scientists and wildlife biologists and entomologists - so if anyone out there reading this likes to be outside, likes watching animals, wants to help protect the nature that you grew up with near where you live, or just wonders if running around with a butterfly net catching bugs can be a job you get paid to do... I highly recommend considering conservation biology or a related natural resource/natural history field for college :)

not sure if what i’m gonna try to get across makes sense, but something i really like thinking about is megumi's relationship with his shikigami — and particularly the divine dogs across multiple verses i have.
like, of course they act based upon megumi’s orders without needing to be explicitly told what to do — he doesn’t need to say anything, they just know. they’re also not really necessarily exact extensions of megumi’s personality or anything, like i feel like they have their own personalities, but i do think they’re very cognizant of his internalized feelings and can react accordingly.
i like to translate this into non-sorcerer verses in a way — i always imagine that megumi always has kuro and shiro in any kind of au, and to varying degrees they remain very cognizant of his feelings. i think that it’s easy for an onlooker to just assume that megumi has some energetic animals that balances his general air of calm collectedness or even apathy, but it can be very telling if they start to act a certain way.
like, zoomies when megumi’s in a good mood (maybe even… happy—), even if he’s not necessarily expressing it. they’ll be more affectionate and protective toward people megumi really cares about, but they’ll stay very close to megumi’s side when he’s more upset than usual.
with regard to their personalities — i think both dogs are generally very sweet, very attentive, and do tasks well. shiro i think has a bit more of a soft side, a little more cuddly and a little more laid back. i have this image of non-sorcerer au megumi having to carry shiro sometimes because he’s a little bit of a princess and when walk-time is over, it’s over, regardless of where he is. kuro is considerably more active, easier to excite, a bit more sassy, but also takes his “work” very seriously (be it doing tricks for treats or protecting megumi or attacking a cursed spirit).

you gotta respect max's commitment to his brand. summer just keeps getting hotter and yet he continues to wear his hoodie constantly, outdoors, without the sleeves rolled up or anything

You know, you’d think tumblr staff would be too busy with the literal hundreds of spam bots I reported yesterday (and the other hundred a few days before that, and the other couple hundred last week, and the literal thousands I haven’t had the time/spoons to go through and report) to ban random trans people or censor screenshots of tweets about trans rights. And Yet guess which blogs are still up posting stolen pictures of random peoples breasts and genitals and which blogs are just straight up gone

I just remembered that there are literally people at my school trying to convince the boys at my school to be femboys.
One way they try this is by claiming that all femboys have or get girls.
So the end of being single apparently is just be a femboy.
That's cool
Oh also they told a girl she could try being a tomboy for similar results of ending of singleness.
And honestly this is quite valid stuff cause like... I personally would date anyone (to certain degrees) especially tomboys and femboys.

i would like someone to explain the cis brain to me. seriously. because multiple times. multiple times. ive explained to people—like liberal open minded people, cis lesbians, people who should have SOME grasp on what I’m saying—the severity of my dysphoria. I’ve laid it out. and these people have said something along the lines of oh wow okay it’s really serious then. and then the next time I see them. the NEXT time. they tell me about a dress/a feminine perfume/Mary Jane shoes they’ve seen that they think I would like. Walter White voice “who are you talking to right now.” and I genuinely don’t think it’s malicious. I genuinely don’t. but are you telling me the cis mind is so simplistic that NO MATTER WHAT I SAY, they see me and think girl like girl things. and that’s as far as it goes. or is it that they think I was just having a bad day when I told them about my dysphoria? like oh adam felt like that on Thursday but today is Friday . so. i’m not even mad or hurt i’m just confused. what is happening here
