#our names are labels

Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.
It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.
#No patience. Wither and rot.#These motherfuckers dogpiled the legend who leaked the no fly list because it identified as the wrong type of lesbian.#They will attack the people doing DIRECT ACTION over dumbfuck label discourse. Deeply unserious people.#Embarrassing to think that there are rubes out there who keep falling for this#For ALL our sakes I hope this is literally their first rodeos and they really haven't fallen for this bullshit twice.#But unfortunately I'm too old to be that hopeful.#I didn't get to see the big ''public block list'' made for us dirty queers who support or are bi/mspec lesbians but I hope I was on it#If a man is best judged by his enemies then exclusionists who echo terf rhetoric are the ones I WANT to have.#And ''public lesbian block list'' is in quotes because if you REALLY thought that such a thing wasn't a ''GO HARASS THESE PEOPLE'' charter-#--then you have a black mold where your brain used to be and it's rapidly eating into the bathroom tile you call a skull#Unironically you should not have a platform if you are THAT stupid or malicious to think it was anything BUT a harassment charter#I hope they're ashamed.#Context for those unaware: a flesh-eating amoeba created a public blocklist for people who supported bi lesbians#Minors and extremely small creators without big platforms were on that list#People got harassed but the most namely was Lockandkeyhyena who had people raiding his server with racial slurs and death threats.#I hope everyone involved sees who their ''allies'' are when they spread that sentiment.#A bunch of people ACTUALLY 'invading someone's space' to post the n-word and suicidebait.#THAT is who you appeal to. Sit with that.

I think i just need to express that the culture surrounding QPRs right now made me think that i couldn't have strong bonds with my friends. Society told me i cant have strong bonds with friends because that was only for romantic relationships. Then i went into aro spaces and this idea was reinforced using QPRs instead of romantic relationships. it was "You can still have strong bonds with people without romance! It can just be a QPR instead!" "QPRs are MORE than friendship so you can have STRONGER BONDS than you would with friends."
it made me think that the relationships i wanted with my friends HAD to be something other than friendship for it to be as strong as i wanted. If i wanted to be the first person in someones life i had to enter some sort of committed relationship. if I wanted someone to care about me as strongly as i did them then it would have to be a relationship that was "more" than friendship.
I thought I wanted a QPR because i was told the only way to get that care and security that I wanted was to enter into a relationship that was "more" than friendship. because friends didn't care that much. because friends didn't live together their entire lives. because friends were never the priority relationship wise. and it took me years to realize that i didn't want any partnership and i shouldn't have to be in one to want these things from a friend. these things CAN be something friends can do. but i found that out on my own. because the aro community kept saying "you want a QPR" when i just wanted a friend who finally saw me as a priority in their life.
#text#personal#aro#aromantic#aroace#aspec#qpr#queerplatonic relationships#queer platonic relationships#tbh i was around when qprs were still getting footing. ppl werent sure how to properly label them#so to avoid allos saying it's just friends the common response was 'its more than friends but less than romance'#as if they were trying to justify it's existence as if we had to have a equivalent to romance to be justified in our identities and as ppl#because being aro made you not be a person. because how can you be a person if you dont love or have a partner#because being aro was sad because being aro meant ou were alone and you shouldn't want to be alone!!#and these ideas made it so that amatonormativity was just reinforced in aro spaces#and it isn't until recent years when amatonormativity started getting used top put a name to the problem#that i really saw ppl start standing up for aros who didnt partner because why are we expected to partner anyways?#shouldnt ppl be whole as they are?#and this is only my experience im not saying this happens everywhere#but this is why i think we need to have a conversation about QPRs and how they are used in aro spaces#because im not the only one who struggled through this#my experience may not be universal but my experience has happened to others#and thats worth talking about#srry im having a lot of thoughts recently

doodle page from a couple months ago of Nico having way too many immortal friends
also yes i did just use Nyx’s Hades design. it’s a good design.
#pjo#riordanverse#nico di angelo#let's see if i can't not crosstag while explaining this woo#okay so top l > r: my hc about Nico in Tartarus for the longest time (and tbh still is)#was that the like Singular Break he got down there was taking a nap in the Palace of Night#and that N and Achlys just think he's Neat. they didnt really help him but they didnt hurt him either#more of just let him crash on the sofa#i refuse anything about pjo's version of N. reject your canon and substitute my own#anyways then his parents then Hest#< feels weird shortening her name but yknow. struggling not to crosstag here#then Cupid (i dont think i have to worry about crosstagging there) cause i like the hc that Nico is one of his fav mortals#and they both DO chill out with each other eventually. or are at least chill sometimes#cause it's Nico literally grappling with the literal physical manifestation of the concept of romantic love#so once he sorts that out theyre chill. if nico has a bad romance day he shows up like ''bitch lets get u some ice cream''#then Demet Arte and. well he's labeled.#i think the dynamic of Nico doing yardwork for Demet funny. that's his. Grandma. Aunt. Grandaunt. Dont think about it too hard#then Arte just thinks of him as her roaming emo little brother (cause of Bianca) - hes an honorary brother of the Hunt#all the Hunters just accept ''that's our little bro he has very mixed feelings about us though''#and then. handshake same aesthetic. i like the hcs that Nico was an Eye for him for awhile before Walt ergo the fashion sense#my art

every time i see someone call tron 'cyberpunk', i lose ten years off my lifespan
#note to self literally never read letterboxd reviews of movies i like i cant do it anymore kdjfgkdssd#say you saw the movie and the plot and visuals went right over your head without saying it#like. in what world is tron dystopic?? cyberpunk in itself is an offshoot of dystopian fiction. tron is not about an imagined future#tron is about an imagined PRESENT. thinking about our PRESENT relationship with technology in relation to the times each film was released#tron is in equal measures hopeful and critical about technology. that is NOT cyberpunk#the only CyberPunk that matters in tron is the Tron2.0 character of the same name#i will admit that tron's plot is cyberpunk derived but its. idk man its not the same thing#thematically its different. visually i think tron shares developmental artists with blade runner where the cyberpunk visual stereotype was#- established#but blade runner is more pure cyberpunk thematically than tron is. does that make any sense#and. and. listen to me. i am number one retrofuture fan. i love syd mead. i love moebius. but listen. just because they worked on tron -#- does NOT mean tron is thematically OR visually retrofuturistic either!! the visuals match the time it was made!! thats not retrofuturism!#thats normal scifi based on the every day!!!#tron is a sandbox and at the end of the day anyone can do whatever they want its all just for fun#at the same time. the entire story of tron is being severely misrepresented when labelled as cyberpunk. and it makes me sad#these are very shallow thoughts i just miss literary thematic analysis sometimes. my film studies classes cannot come soon enough#rex speaks

i wanted to make a post about a thing but the more i think about it the more i want to say and it's just going to end up being a big ramble essay, so instead i'll just give the thesis statement, thusly:
as the #1 Ratgrinders Apologist (self-appointed), of course they're the final boss fight to the death. i expected nothing less and the people trying to make discourse about it are ignoring the entire context of this being a Dungeons and Dragons game
#they're not playing 'discuss our traumas and and try to help strangers grow: the game'#they're playing 'murder people for getting in our way: the game'#which i know is now me being snubbing about D&D as a game but like. siobhan said it: theyve committed SO much murder#did the lunch lady in episode 2 deserve to be murdered? did the skater dwarves deserved to be murdered?#did the monsters the school sicced on the kids in their Last Stand deserve to be slaughtered like that??#its literally the name of the game!#the two things that are turning this into a bigger essay are 1) me being actually very disappointed in Burrow's End with how the players#just did not want at all to engage with the moral greyness aabria was trying to bring into the story#it was clear that was a direction she wanted to explore and i wanted to see it explored#but even OUT of characters the cast just would NOT engage or acknowledge the validity of that direction#and there was only so much aabria could do without being labeled a killjoy... because D&D often ISN'T a game for reckoning with#the justification of your character's actions! its a game for killing giant bears and saving the town from cultists!!#baked into the foundation of the game conceit is 'you are the hero and you are saving the day ergo your actions are Right and Just'#thing 2) i just listened to that WWW fireside the other day where brennan goes on about how combat does not get in the way#of story in dnd. that whole stove metaphor? and it rankled me so much lol because like aabria finally says after that:#yeah you bring your own food to the stove but when what you've got is a stove. the food you make is GOING to get cooked#combat and fighting and killing is baked into the system from its foundation. acting like D&D or even just d20 (the system)#is a resolution engine that also allows fighting and not a fighting engine that also allows other skills is. wishful thinking i think#and to bring this back to the POINT: of COURSE they're going to kill the rat grinders! because it's fun!#because thats how you resolve conflict in a combat game! straight up i honestly believe a lengthy conversation trying to win the kids over#would have been a weird energy to end the season on! it would have been a let down!#it would have been a huge tonal shift. because the tone you bring to a D&D game is 'killing this is fine actually'#and if you dont like that you /dont/ play D&D. its not a value judgment#i LOVE getting into moral implications and justifications and ive gotta tone it down when i run D&D games because it can kill the vibe#anyway. i said i wasnt going to write the whole essay and im not. but i did write most of the rant oops

the thing is the us allegedly champions uyghur rights and stuff but the reality is it’s barely effective for us and its just another way for them to take shots at china bc they’re not an ally and they’re a competition financially. This country does not care about human rights it’s all part of the same machine
#I’m not anti communist but I can’t call myself one either#it’s all names and labels and other people in the west who calls themselves communist will 50% of the time say our genocide is fake#just bc the big government oppressing us allegedly has the same name as your ideology#it’s only communist when convenient lol#I don’t know how to navigate this and I don’t know how to advocate for us in my online spheres#it feels too close to me

Very worried for the amount of younger people (minors/young adults) and honestly even older adults who have completely forgotten what privacy is and what is appropriate to say online.
#just cuz i cant see your real name or face doesnt mean you should be telling me about your kinks#especially unprompted#tiktok especially worries me because there are so many things that can be used to track people down#they'll literally add their location#minors linking their cities and towns in their descriptions#and even older adults seem to have forgotten the safety rules we used to have everywhere#why are people using their real names???#why are people sharing locations??#why are people sharing intimate information about their personal lives??#no minor should be listing their kinks anywhere#i should not see someone say they are a minor and any of their kinks within the same post#or in their bio#i shouldnt be seeing their locations#i shouldnt be seeing signs of their high school#i shouldnt be able to find people this easily#i shouldn't be able to invade people privacy without even trying#our actions and words shouldnt be broadcasted this much#we shouldn't be so focused on our online personas that we forget to be ourselves#we shouldn't be so revolved around identities and labels that can be listed in a bio then exploring our hobbies and interests#i can learn more about you as a person by talking to you irl fr ten minutes then i can in an hour of scrolling through your social media#and i can learn more about your address school family and other private information in ten minutes of online searching then an hour of#talking to you irl

Is this the year I finally get into braucherei??
#just dara things#dara’s witchy shit#IMO as a PA Dutch person I don’t think braucherei is a ‘real’ PA Dutch tradition#I’ve done a lot of research on the academic side and everything I’ve seen#points to it being something brought by later German immigrants (late 1800s?)#or the name just invented at that time as a label for various types of German folk magic#bc it seems our PA Dutch superstitions and practices don’t bear a whole lot of resemblance#but nonetheless I find it interesting and it’s more attractive to me than English cunningwork#which also seems cool#but I am just less drawn to it

every time i think about that fucking Oye Primos disney channel show i shake with rage like i hope it never sees the light of day i hate gringos with latino grandparents so fucking bad
#those showrunners can eat my ass they LOVELOVELOVE TO PRETEND THEYRE LATINO ACTUALLY but cant be fucked to learn their family’s own language#theyre making a show to represent latinos ❤️ with the only lines in spanish in the intro being grammatically incoherent ❤️#and one of the character’s name literally meaning vagina (AND penis! Such a meaningful word) ❤️ like that stuff is in la RAE bro#if your show for latinos would need to change a characters name for the latin spanish dub like theyre huey dewey and louie-#-because itd be actively offensive to multiple regions then maybe its not for latinos!#if no one in your crew caught those mistakes then its probably not made BY latinos either right#but you knew that dont you? No show runner gets on instagram to ‘clap back’ to the people correcting you by saying that#actually the language we speak isnt even ours and it was enforced on us by the colonizers so really its anti-latino to defend it#Theres no way you can speak such disgusting shit like that and not be self aware right?#The show isnt for latinos its for white people whove never set foot in latam and refuse to learn the language of their grandparents#who LOVE to slap that label on themselves to feel special and oppressed#que coman mierda todo ellos#aquellos que se burlarían cruelmente de un latino hablando con acento y solo hablar de como la inmigración y los mariguanos-#-se están robando sus empleos o yo no sé que mierdas#Me dan ganas de ranchar pensar que disney mando a hacer un programa solo para aquellos hijueputas#en vez de para los niños que viven en latinoamerica#Ooh but look guys heres a latina princess isnt she lovely? She doesn’t live in latam either tho ptff are you kidding thats stupid#princesses dont live in 3rd world countries yuck. She lives in fantasy land obviously#Mátense

sorry but it’s wild that in almost 50 years of star wars doing Stories About Families, andor is the first one to actually say anything complex or compelling about how family relationships can prop up and reenact empire. more on this later definitely, but the hottie inspector javert getting bossed around by his mom and screaming at maarva (older mother figure from a subjugated population) to shut up while he’s raiding her house 🫢
#sw blogging#i keep having to google syril’s name so he gets special nicknames instead#this is kind of a bold take but i just don’t think the ot engages deeply enough with the mechanics of family. i think it uses our powerful#associations with family ties to create surface-level labels that lend weight to the stuff it’s doing

That was Then, This is NOW
AHHHHHHHHHH
ASPEEPS!!! I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW (TWTTIN <- awful acronym I know) HAS A MOVIE!!!
I know what you're saying. "But [insert name], I don't even know what book you're talking about. Why should I care?" Well I'll tell you why you should care. Y'all've read The Outsiders, haven't you?? It's only The Outsiders more depressing sequel!! Like c'mon. We're all about the angst!!
*and also I totally forgot they were foster brother and not just friends chilling under the same roof (tbf they were friends long before he joined their family) but.. the bromance.. I just need some people, preferably like mindedly gay minded people to read the book, watch the movie etc, and discuss it with me. For my peace of mind.
[and for that very small number of people who have read Peace Breaks Out *cough you know who you are cough* it's basically the equivalent! ASP and Outsiders were the popular ones, they were angsty, about teens for teens before YA was a real reading section, had gay controversies (for different reasons of course XD), and ended on slightly hopeful notes (you may disagree, but I think Gene found peace or something akin to it, maybe self forgiveness at the end of the book). NOW THE SEQUELS. Very disheartening defeatist messages. Everything is irreparably broken and I don't know how to go on but I can't die. Everyone can be monsters so there is no point having faith in humanity. Etc. (Yeesh.) SO GOOD. and they both have the obligatory reference to book 1 which I love.
So to summarize. We have a discord. (We will have a discord I should say). We have internet (obviously). What prevent us from expanding our gloomy horizons???
#Go and read it!!!#and the outsiders if you haven't read that#movie wasn't too bad either#But obviously not as good as the book#would love to discuss with y'all#and either watch the movie together or more like ly all on our own but then discuss#I hope the movie doesn't suck#should I read SEH's other stuff? They all have such similar plots and themes. It's a bit of a turn off#but she is a good writer#and they say write what you know#and what better way for me to learn about the 60s (or her small town to be exact) then by reading all her books???#Also unrelated but how do y'all feel about the label Devonians? Aspeeps is a joke obviously (can't exactly say it in serious discussions)#So I just feel like (especially if you guys go and read his other books. As you should) it'll be a great name.#I don't know maybe that's just me. Thoughts?#A separate peace#That was then this is now

Ted Lasso Wednesday Thoughts!!!
Rebecca's Dutch pal seems....he seems like a fella who could possibly be called Rupert...not that he seems like Rupert, just seems like A Rupert. And he would be a swell New Rupert lmao
Jamie taught his grandad to ride a bike, to honor Jamie's grandad's grandad. pardon me while I'm sobbing.
"You fellas say pillow fight one time and we're never watching a movie again" or whatever Ted said
Arguably my single most important thought ever? Ted got reverse-Princess-Bride-d. (To "get Princecess-bride-d" one would be served 1 of 2 glasses, both of which have Substance. a reverse-Princess-Bride situation is that you think both glasses have Substance, but neither does.) And neither of them referenced the Princess Bride??? The Beard serving glasses of tea with Something in it scene was so Dread Pirate Roberts and that's such a Ted/Beard movie!!! I'm hurt and shocked and offended not to have had them mention it.
#i say Substance b/c i'm not 100% sure if it's supposed to be weed or mushrooms or something else that idk about#(i'm much more a ted than a beard if you catch my drift)#in regards to the dutch fella's name i just simply think it would be funny!! I think they should do that and then the media can#call gross rupert Old Rupert (as they called our rebecca Old Rebecca) however i would also accept Crusty Rupert#ted lasso#ted lasso spoilers#ted lasso season 3#ted lasso wednesdays#and im gonna go ahead and hide my last prediction deep in the tags which is#i don't get the feeling Trent is capital-G-Gay (given that he didn't say he's gay he just came out and he's closer to a woman than ever)#it sounds like he's bi and still married the difference is that he's accepted himself and so has his wife (or whatever they are)#and naturally many bi people use gay either as their preferred label or an umbrella term so if that is trent's preference then that's lit#i just think he might actually be bi and happily married#and while i think trent and ted are in LOVE i just want them both/each to be happy#jinkies this is a lot of tags. b/c surprising no one i have many feelings about the theodore lasso show#anyway i don't think i'm being eloquent but i loved this episode i loved it i love trent and colin and keeley and i love this show#i also could felly be completely wrong about trent being bi and that would be a-okay by me!! i just kinda mean to say that while he is#decidedly LGBT and decidedly interested in men he didn't say that he's not into women. hope i'm making sense

Me watching Muslim men debate how this *inserts x Muslim country* has less rape cases than this other *inserts y non Muslim country* for the nth time thinking they have made a very great point :
#bro you know what???#this is not some win moment you think it is#you know what would be the no. of rape cases in my ideal country? ZERO#less rape cases is still NOT safe#less rape cases doesn’t mean you get to dismiss those cases#ALSO sometimes it is only that the REPORTED cases are less coz women don't trust the law system#we are so tired#yeah India has femicide and rape cases#that doesn't mean we get to dismiss Iran's case as ok and the news as islamophobic news by the media smh#two wrongs don't make a right#stop using women's pain for your so called gotcha arguments#some men are so dumb and insensitive and have never been told to shut up once on their lives and it freaking shows#stop labelling the reporting of a woman's death (murder) under morality police's custody as islamophobic#misogyny#Iran#islam#muslims#women's rights#imagine using the name of our beautiful religion to pretend muslim women don't suffer under oppressive regimes with extremist laws that are#NOT part of islam just coz you can't accept that misogyny does unfortunately exist in Muslim countries too#*once in their lives#waiting for the day they stop turning women's pain into some sick competition of some stats between 2 countries#rape victims aren't just numbers#they are humans
