i have a lot of thoughts about ep 7 of the magnus protocol, so here are a few observations :D

[spoilers for TMA and TMAGP ep 7]

ever since Celia was first introduced ive been wondering how much she remembers/knows... she mentioned tape recorders, asked if theres anything tying the read out statementy together, then mentioned looking up specific things and gave these examples "buried alive" and "meat" - two TMA fears. and SHE RECOGNISES "CHESTER"'S VOICE!!

then immediately after that we hear a recording of Sam asking Colin about an email from "John/Jon *random surname*"?? Colin telling him "wait until you see the real stuff", and before breaking Sam's phone "it's already recorder [too much]". HE KNOWS THAT THEY ARE BEING RECORDED! HOW MUCH DOES HE KNOW!?!

and the statement itself is also quite interesting. they mention hilltop in oxford!! they were doing charity work and that immediately reminded me of the halfway home run by raymond fielding, which could be considered charity work as well. the items that the "volunteers" donated all seemed like artifacts to me. maybe they were trying to create a warehouse of sorts, similarly how breekon and hope worked as delivery men for various entities

unfortunately i cant see how this episode would fit into the "desire theory". i cant see any desire there, maybe the volunteers desired doing something "for a good cause"? i dont know :((

A group of queers of all types is a pride

A group of aces is a deck

A group of aros is a quiver

A group of trans women is a code-camp

A group of enbies is a byte

A group of bi people is a tandem

A group of pan people is a panic

Thank you for coming to my wilderness documentary

Imagine if the GIW started gunning for Jason without the Batfam ever meeting Phantom. Like, Bruce has to figure out on his own that the guys in white suits with Lazarus guns are 1. a legitimate government agency, and 2. are perfectly within their rights to hunt Jason like an animal, because 3. there's secret government legislation that says that since Jason's body processes ectaplasm, he's classified as non-sapient and has no legal protections.

Bruce calling up Clark like

Bruce: I am currently in the process of breaking into a government facility in order to dismantle their operations.

Clark: Okay? Do you need... help?

Bruce: Yes.

Clark: Sure, I'll be right there.

Bruce: Not that kind of help. Oracle is sending you the files now. I'd like you and Ms. Lane to make these people wish they were never born.

Clark: [speed-reading the documents] Oh yeah, can do. This is truly disgusting. If the public is half as outraged as I am, we'll get this sorted as fast as the courts can manage.

So Clark Kent acts as a whistle-blower, the Justice League publicly condems the Anti-Ecto Acts as inhumane, the GIW is disbanded, and Batman gets pardoned for all of those crimes that he technically did by assaulting federal agents. And after all that gets sorted, some white haired kid pops up in the Watchtower like "haha thanks for that I really didn't want a war between Earth and the Infinite Realms" and the League are like "wait what"

Very important question for my fellow rainbow people!!!

Why do queer people exist?

Wrong answers only, go!

[paranormeow7]

tired of nonbinary people being pressured to be thin hairless elf like pretty and always depicted as white afab skinny kids with blue hair, of course only using they/them. give me nonbinary people who are heavily fem/masc aligned!! give me nonbinary people who use neopronouns and xenogenders!! give me fat nonbinary people!! hairy nonbinary people!! nonbinary POC!! amab nonbinary people!! disabled nonbinary people!! nonbinary people who wear crazy clothes, or nonbinary people who don’t stand out and don’t feel the need to!! nonbinary people with names like Moss or Socks, or nonbinary people with “regular” names like Susan or James or something!! Give me every flavor of nonbinary people, and stop trying to make it into yet ANOTHER gender binary!! Nonbinary can be anything, not just a third gender to adhere to!!

An Ace Attorney reference in my Locked Tomb short story??? It’s more likely than you’d think.

good news girlies both surgeries seem to have gone well now im chilling listening to tsurune while i let my eyes recover

[spoilers for tmagp ep 4]

so in this episode we got:

• "magnus protocol" mentioned

• augustus appeared

• and the ending implies lena is up to something nefarious

and so far it seems like each "tts" has had a specific topic for their records:

norris - something about lovers, losing someone you love

chester - THE MAGNUS INSTITUTE

augustus - being a patron of a power/an item and coaching someone else into becoming one as well

Life is really not so bad. There is sun and rain and beaches and mountains. There’s coffee and stories to read and things to write. People to say good morning to everyday. People to smile at. And when you pass a hiker they will nod and say hello and the cashier at the gas station might ask you if you’re okay when you need it most. Random girls will compliment you in the street and you’ll pay it back and compliment other strangers. They’ll make your day and you’ll make theirs. And there is cruelty but there’s a lot of beauty too. So many people have so much kindness in them. And you can’t single-handedly change the worst of life, but you can offer kindness too. You can make someone smile.

Happy pride month to everyone but especially to the aro men, like all of them. This month is for you too

All for us in all our shapes and experiences are deserving of aro joy and being allowed to be unapologetic, and further without belittlement and shame. We are human, we are whole and we are radiant!

I see you, I am you and I treasure you. I am so proud to share this community, be it the overall queer one or our aro one, with you my brothers.

It’s so hard for me to not feel devastated about the state of LGB acceptance.

I’m gen Z, so I was lucky to be raised with a positive attitude towards same sex attraction. I distinctly remember seeing those posters about how gay isn’t an insult, before I even knew what gay was. So by the time I was old enough to understand what sexuality was, I kind of just knew I was gay and was fine with it. I was supposed to be the lucky generation—the first to be raised in a world that generally felt positively towards same sex attraction.

And then in comes gender ideology and all of its rampant homophobia. And in a way, it feels like the world I was promised was ripped away from me. I used to think I’d be out and proud as a lesbian, but now I’m scared to even mention it to anybody because I know that I don’t have to just worry about the people who think same sex attraction = sin, but now I also have to worry about the people who hear “lesbian” and translate it to “evil terf bitch”. And the people who hear “I’m only attracted to women” and translate it to “transphobic and closed-minded”. And people who say “I’m gay too!” But actually aren’t.

I used to dream of going to pride events, but now I know it’s not for me. It’s for people who have built up entire identities that would crumble without their homophobic and misogynistic foundation. Every time pride month comes up, I feel almost a sense of grief. Because that was supposed to be my time to be with people like me. Now it’s for the people who’ve always hated us, and found a way to take over all of the minimal things we had just for us.

It’s lonely enough to be gay, especially a lesbian. And it’s just gotten worse. And it keeps getting worse as more people grow to at the best not give a shit about us, and at the worst hate us passionately and do everything they can to let it be known.

It really feels like the LGB positive future I thought I’d been born into was stolen. And the worst part of it all is that I can’t even talk about this without being dismissed as a bad person.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

It is absolutely fine to use a label, only to realise it doesn't suit you anymore. Labels aren't there to bind you to them. They serve as a way to better describe how one feels and what ones lived experience can be like.

I had two pipelines of relabeling myself simultaneously.

From bi to lesbian, and back to bi.

From asexual to demisexual (because I thought, that one day, maybe I feel this kind of attraction, as sex-ambivalent and oscillating were terms I related with, and still do), and back to being asexual.

Does that make me less sapphic or a-spec? Absolutely not.

And to be honest: I still haven't figured out if I'm demiromantic or aromantic. And that is perfectly fine. We don't own anyone an explanation, but ourselves.

If the label felt good at that time, but doesn't anymore, let it go and take the one that feels more fitting. ♡ We are human beings. We are allowed to grow. You are valid, no matter which label you choose.
