how are they still gonna do a live action in Voltron when they're pulling it from the Netflix catalogue......

Ngl I’m wondering if the live action movie is part of the reason why they’re pulling voltron from Netflix 😭😭

More evidence that Alder would have done gangbusters focusing on espionage: Petra notes in 2x4 that "Intelligence does often have a hard time keeping track of the General's comings and goings." Literally the person in charge of keeping track of information and shit says that Alder and her Biddies were giving them the slip all of the time over the decades. It's like the inverse of the Marshal being able to hunt anyone down, Alder is able to slip the leash when she wants. Which kind of goes against the popular fanon of Alder being stuck in meetings and in the unavoidable public eye all of the time, and finding it a burden. It turns out, Alder not only made a habit of getting around surveillance, but the other side of that coin is that what publicity/propaganda/speeching/posters/etc. she did do was of her own desire. If she didn't want to be a public face, she could choose to avoid it all. (To where when Nicte forced her into the Warding Circle and Petra appeared to make announcements with Silver instead, it was notable by everyone, a duty that Alder relinquished reluctantly.)

The 'crushing on Sonic' and 'is rivals with Sonic' Venn diagram would be a circle if it wasn't for Amy and Blaze.

in my beautiful mind amy is a lesbian who hasnt realized it yet and i guess ive convinced myself of this so hard that i momentarily forgot that she actually has a crush on sonic because for a second i was like "labeling amy as one of sonics rivals is a weird take but okay i guess"

I keep seeing posts of people saying that a term transphobes stole and are using incorrectly to be transphobes is a Horrible Transphobic Term and Anyone who uses it is transphobic and it's Not Real and Entirely Not True when it's literally an actual anthropological term that has studies about it and is actually very useful for Everyone to think about, cis and trans, and be critical of. I hate seeing people respond to dumb hate by entirely writing off everything even remotely connected to the twisted shit bigots use when the shit the bigots are stealing and twisting is still like... a thing?

where do white jews go in the white people ranking... do we get incorporated with whatever part of europe we came from.. country of current residence.. do characteristics like stoner or spicy white new yorker supersede jewishness... please i need to know 🙏

ill be fr. i didn't feel comfortable putting white jews as a category because Jewish people are an oppressed minority still and it felt gross to have people vote on and comment on them as a category of people. which may be hypocritical because ive got catholics and orthodox white people as an option but when i was making the initial polls it didn't sit right with me to have people vote on how much they like jews if that makes sense. so they'd have to be lumped with whatever other type of white person they are, like you said residence or personality. also the ranking results are not my choice at all i took them from the results of the poll so i couldn't even tell you where youd go without making another poll

daigo for the bingo?

[homophyte]

fully aware this is probably a pretentious opinion to have but im not really moved by secretly a robot stories yk. like the idea of moving to a no-longer-human state and constantly longing for genuine human experience or human umwelt (computer/sensory interface, as it were) and how significant and special and privileged the human experience is and how alien and foreign and wrong it must be to interface the world as a nonhuman thing. idk i just dont buy the idea that because a thing is nonhuman it must be inherently alien or hellish to experience. but imo thats not super relevant--when i try to think about story types i try to ask like, what is actually being communicated through the central metaphor of the narrative and as close i can figure the secret robot is about belonging and alienation and the dissociation thereof. which is fine theres lots of story types that do this but the secret robot just doesnt speak to me . i dunno. i dont gel with the idea that if you dont 'belong' your whole existence centers around how much you would (should) want to it feels like at some point the secret robot would simply have to live its life right. why are there never proud and noble communities of robots who refuse their dubious connections to humanity and assert their own umwelt as worthwhile huh. but then i feel im asking questions outside the story types ability to answer and totally missing the point. it just doesnt work for me

If I had the proper equipment for that I would 100% make a career out of sorting stuff on video. It's like one of my favorite activities ever but I rarely have the opportunity to do that. It's like a special treat for special occasions. I love doing it and if I could I'd milk that forever <- is currently sorting a whole jar of plastic gems for fun

[quietwingsinthesky]

soery for the ignorance but what's tma tme ?

no, it’s alright, no need to apologize for asking questions.

to break it down, tma/tme are acronyms for ‘transmisogyny affected/transmisogyny exempt’. they were coined, i must assume, with good intentions as a way to talk about how transphobia affects trans woman/transfems versus everyone else. which, yeah, obviously, how you’re perceived and gendered flavors the kind of violence you are subject to. the problem is that the terms have been used to enforce a new false binary, one in which anyone ‘tma’ experiences a more violent and traumatizing form of transphobia and anyone ‘tme’ just. doesn’t experience that, i guess. this is demonstrably false.

i mentioned intersexism in the post i assume you’re referring to because a lot of the time, what people mean when they say ‘tma/tme’ is ‘person who is amab/person who is afab’. the creation of any sex binary erases that intersex people exist, sweeps the shit they go through under the rug. and enforcing these categories in this way also leads to people’s lived experiences being denied or downplayed, because it turns out that transphobes don’t actually care what a doctor said about your genitals at birth or how you identify now when they attack you, they care about how they’re gendering you right now and how they perceive you as a threat. (there’s this idea that if someone ‘tme’ experiences transmisogynistic violence, that they’re just collateral damage of violence that was actually meant for anyone ‘tma’. that’s, frankly, dehumanizing as hell. it does not stop being transmisogyny directed at you just because you don’t fit a category someone else put on you.)

transmisogyny is real. transandrophobia is real. we are all hurt by transphobia, and having language to discuss the nuances of it is a damn good thing. trying to insist that our experiences all exist in opposition to each other, that for some of us to suffer means that others must be doing great, isn’t helpful. and strict binaries of any kind are only going to hurt people.

hopefully that helped. not exactly in my best essay writing mode. but that’s the basics of it and why i dislike its usage.

[skin-slave]

I know this is prob a dumbass thing to be happy about kinda, but I had a long debate over gender yesterday with a conservative Christian bro, and at the end he said I made good points and he disagrees, but will consider what I said. Like 🥹 did I just throw a starfish closer to the water

[arsenicflame]

hi i'm really interested in space lesbians! where are they, who are they? how can i see them? (shows, games, books?) also what are you most excited about in s2 of ofmd?

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY

soooooo my space lesbian enthusiasm refers to 3 separate medias!! (it used to say gay space vikings bc that was an even more specific niche buuuut im way more into tihylttw these days s o) one day i am going to make a fuckin venn diagram of my girls because they all have so many similarities. (loki/sigyn and angela/sera are basically the same characters change my mind.)

this is about to get real long bc im unhinged about them <3 10/10 would talk about them all day if the communities were there

our first space lesbians are loki + sigyn from the bifrost incident! TBI is an album by the band the mechanisms which you can find wherever you listen to music (youtube here) its a norse mythology inspired rock/steampunk-esque album and it is SO GOOD- it takes place on a train in SPACE in the format of an incident investigation. its a story so you have to listen to the tracks in order :)

--

next up! this is how you lose the time war- our lesbians in this are called red + blue because we have deconstructed this trope to its most basic format at this point :') its a short book, and you may be familiar with it as it went viral from a trigun fan tweet a few months back. (my url (and sewing blog url) are actually references to a quote from this book!) you can get it wherever you get books and id recc the audiobook if youre into that i am also in possession of the pdf if you wantto try before you buy.

tihylttw is a story told through the exchange of letters between two agents on opposite sides of a war- it usually gets described as enemies to lovers but id personally use rivals as i think it describes them better. the book is known for being incredibly poetic and sometimes pretentious in its writing and i just think its the most beautiful thing ever. lesbians do it better

honestly theres nothing i could say for tihylttw better than it could say for itself, i just adore the universe theyve built and i want to KNOW MORE. i love you and i love you and i want to find out what that means together

saving the best for last is my girls angela + sera. the most of all time. nobody compares to them for me. they consume me

angela + sera are from marvel comics and you can find my complete reading list here, but if im talking about them positively, im usually talking about one of the titular Angela comics, and more often than not queen of hel.

honestly i love the angela comics so much that im making myself speechless trying to figure out where to start. Angela falls into the asgard side of marvel comics, though she is a lot more fluid in her affiliations, her whole thing being that she deals in deals- nothing for nothing everything has its price. she is at times described as emotionless and is generally quite a stoic character, especially around strangers. the major exception to this is her wife, sera. seras one of marvels few canon trans characters and i think she is just so wonderfully written. shes witty and cheeky and doesnt take shit from anyone, even when it gets her into trouble- and oh boy does sera find herself in some predicaments! the angela comics are often just as poetic as tihylttw for me, theyll drop an 'as long as you are with me, i am not afraid' and ill need to go smother myself in a pillow for a sec. in QOH they adopt a daughter who is Also a lesbian, shes an alternate version of leah of hel and i ALSO adore her.

im desperately trying to avoid plot points but god. the main arc is 21 issues of smooching Shakespearean space angels what more could you want?

(through sera & angela we get a lot of heven lore and honestly that could be its whole own thing for me im SO fascinated.)

my girls are currently in comic hell, i am praying they will get something good soon 🙏🙏

and what am i most excited about for season 2? can i just say izzy? can i just say anne + mary? dude im so ready for some lesbians you have no idea actually you probably have a very good idea if you made it this far down. im incredibly excited to be seeing izzy get a favourable arc this season, im really hoping to see him develop relationships with everyone else, see him grapple with feelings around ed (actually im really hoping he chooses not to forgive ed. for growth) im excited to see whats gonna go down with his leg, im excited to see wtf is going on w ed + stede because i have no idea what the continuity is at the moment, im just excited!!!!!! i honestly dont think theres anything im not excited about everything looks so good so far

[spiked-mall-goth]

heyyyyyy <3 <3 i feel terrible.

i had planned to stay off longer but i genuinely have had like three nervous breakdowns since i left bc right as i decided it was abt time i just chill for a little bit everything started happening all at once. so i came back to see my silly little internet friends, but like the second i logged back on some ppl were talking smack abt me sooooooooo... ya know. my day (two weeks) be so fine,, then BOOM my entire schedule fills up and i become hollow on the inside! (hey sorry like vent post n tags i need to get things out of my brain)
