I'm the drip bandit !! here to steal your horse with drip !!!

the thing is. juno & nureyev's relationship has been such a major guiding thread throughout the podcast and the major drive of season 5, and the fandom has built itself so much (as fandoms often do) around shipping the two of them.

and yet nureyev doesn't show up at all in the last episode! or, he does, but it's only implied (for all we know it could be like. alessandra strong)(i know it's not but it would be really funny) and we don't hear his voice.

and it's so important to me that despite the room that their romance has taken in the plot and in our hearts, his absence reinforces that the point of juno steel's story wasn't a lady getting his man, it was about learning to grow as person for himself and for his friends (and not just his love interest), and it was about finding his footing in life and being at peace with himself and his place in the world. and he did! his growth and relative serenity is so apparent and just. a balm to the soul

and the fact that his man is back is just a nice add-on, not a necessity for his happiness

*walks out of battlefield bloody* knights.. suou tsukasa... tsukinaga leo... sena izumi.. narukami arashi..... sakuma ritsu..... *falls over with bits and pieces of your art in my pocket*

NOOO my liege you dropped these!!!

but perfect timing anon, i just started these not long ago so i was motivated to clean them up a lil more:D i wanted to draw knights as KNIGHTS!! kinda disappointed theres no medieval knights inspired outfit set yet, medieval looks would make for perfect costume design in the game: a lot of asymmetrical designs AND bows-frills-dangly stuff!

naruchan gets to be a little landsknecht-inspired because i think the grandeur of it rly suits her<33

As an American, I love reading poly 141 x reader solely because I know half the time they speak imma be looking at them like:

😐😑😐 "Translation, please?"

______

Just picturing an example like

"Anybody else fancy a Chinese?"

Me: "A Chinese what?"

"Whatdya mean what? To eat."

"BITCH YOU MEAN CHINESE FOOD?! OR ARE WE CANNIBALS NOW?!"

(Also looking at British Chinese takeout makes me sad. Why are there fries for one??)

(Apologies to any Brits reading this... not really. Dumping ur tea in the harbor again just for calling chips "crisps" /LH)

It's hard trying to write them 😭 the way my Google searches are just "how do you say [insert word/phrase here] in Scottish" and "how would a British person say [insert phrase here]" (Google is not helpful btw). Sometimes I just have to go with my gut or just something I'm certain they'd say 😭

No but British Chinese food is so sad. I was on that side of tiktok for a while and why is it all soggy but at the same time dry?? (And yes the fries 😭 fries and curry with Chinese, y'all need help 😭)

I'm thinking about outlaw fisherman Gem who lives on her boat going from dock to dock...making a living by selling the fish/crabs she catches between journeys...

Something beautiful about the word transsexual is that contrary to popular (often by transmeds) belief, it has always included people who don't medically transition in anyway. It simply is an older word for what a lot of people would now call transgender and there are so many transsexual elders who never went on hormones and never had surgery but have identified as transsexual for decades and still do. I know transmeds have been around back in the day too, claiming that transsexual is only for medical transitioners, but many elders will disagree. Even if you look at some trans glossaries from 15 years ago they will define transsexual the same way that we define transgender. Transsexual and transgender are largely synonymous with different connotations to different people. The beauty is that we as trans people get to choose whether we want to reclaim a term that was put on us by cis people, or if we want to claim a term that was created by us for us, and both are beautiful and radical in their own way.

The thing about the history of transness is... we have documentation of trans people having existed for at least a thousand years. Trans history is ancient. We are a fact of humanity, not an option.

The interesting thing about transsexual is that it's a new word - coined in German as Transsexualismus by Magnus Hirschfeld in the 1920s, introduced later as transsexual. Around this time, more people were interested in what would be known as transsexualism. It's around this time and after the war that more and more medical transition options became wide-spread and practiced. Medical transition is by no means as experimental as people fear monger it to be, but in terms of trans history, we're living in a vastly different era than our trans ancestors.

The understanding of transsexual depends on who you ask, but it's my opinion that we ought to include as many transsexuals as possible. The idea that transsexuals are the Good Trans People, the ones who Put In The Work is an idea that's based on transphobia, not the language that's used. The attitude is the problem, the idea that we are inherently broken or must prove ourselves worthy is separate from the words that we identify with or are used to describe us.

It's for this reason that transsexualism is important to me. It's for this reason that I want as many people to be transsexuals as possible, whether or not you medically transition. I personally started preferring transsexual because I see it as political, as personal, as a community of beautiful people I want to help make good. If you don't identify as transsexual, that is great! But, please, know that transsexuals are also not stereotypes. We're not the Good Ones. We are part of the broader trans community, and thus, we should all work together.

Retail is so fun, because customers will come in looking for an item that they bought ten years ago and then get mad at ME because the store no longer sells it

[chimaerakitten]

Temeraire!Universe Dragon Facebook (fangbook?) has lost and found human groups that are in every way identical to lost and found pet groups in our universe right down to the annoying member who comments the exact same guilt trippy message about it being the fault of an irresponsible owner dragon if a cat human got lost no matter what the circumstances were.

While i work I've been listening to an LP of the Telltale Walking Dead Games (the ones with clementine, I do not care about the others lmao). Ages ago when I played these I was well aware/amused that part of season 2 takes place in Parker's Crossroads/Parker's Run because I grew up right next to it and the detail stood out to me. But I never caught the line of "We'll head to parker's run. It's just up the road from here" until just right now. So I had a sort of "wait, where the fuck are they supposed to be right now?" (search)

ARE YOU SHITTING ME LMAO So by process of elimination, since it's the only city with anything even remotely resembling a large home supply store, that would mean they're in my literal hometown. My tiny hometown in the middle of nowhere that's never in anything that barely anyone knows of. How in the fuck lmao
