My oldest sister does NOT get gender and sexuality stuff oh my goddddddd
Tried to tell her a family member of ours transitioned and her immediate response was
"So she has a PENIS now!!?!??"
Like. Where do I even start.
He. And whether he has a penis is not your business.
And when I mentioned being nonbinary she was like "but you still have boobs so you're female" and I was like. Sis. Biology and gender are not the same thing
Just because I don't want to go have surgery about it, doesn't mean my gender is not valid
God bless her I love her she is my sister but oh my god she Does Not Get It

Just curious, what are your ships? (I swear I’m not a Nepeta kinnie.)
i thought about this forever its so funny. listen my buddies kin assigned me nepeta and i was like im NOT im NOT...
i had to think about this for a long time. i think the funniest thing about me is that honestly im really impartial about ships and like stories focusing on friendship more. like, complex friendships about buddies who fight and reunite or have slightly unhealthy relationships... thats really good stuff.
im so unaffected by cannon my favorite ships in homestuck would be entirely based on who makes content i like about them. ill read an essay and be like ok ill smoke that thats cool. fancontent wise i really like arasol<3 and <>, and karkat <> with any of his besties(sollux, kanaya, gamzee, rezi, dave.) solkat and davekat <3 are fine. that one bitch with the 12 page erikar essay makes me be like 'yeah im ok with this interpretation of the characters.' i dont really have an otp ever
i wish more was done with terezi dave and karkats friendship. i want to see them play together. honestly, karkats and terezis friendship is something i want to see way more of, because he respects her a lot and i think karkats like. whole goofy existence is really enjoyed by terezi. but those two need to define their friendship as not existing in a quadrant and instead being of mutual respect and appreciation. also dave and terezis friendship is literally sooooooooo fire. amazing even
i like the canon ships fine. rosemary, the meowrails, calliope and roxy, but i wish that vrirezi's <3< aspect was like more widely discussed. vriezi is my dirkjake if you will and i hate when it appears in the background of fics without that trainwreck of girl best friends being acknowledged as being like a dumpster fire for both girls but also magical. on that note dirkjake and dirkjohn are fine. l
i used to adore gamkat <> but ive fallen out of love with it due to how it puts too much pressure on the kat and gamzee's shown not really helping kat down from panic attacks in the comic. just want 2 see kat happy. i like it when its written healthy and cute though. gamkat <3 is my least favorite ship ever probably. it makes me barf.

I don't know who else to express my conern to, but... it seems to me that Joe hasn't been wearing his wedding ring lately? I first noticed it in the China pics and thought maybe he just forgot it at home or something, but I did a quick look through 2ourdust pics and it seems to be missing then, too??
i was going to answer this when i saw it in my inbox yesterday but tbh i genuinely got too high last night to type coherently LMFAOOOO. BUT this is the RIGHT PLACE to express this concern because i actually am a slightly insane person who pays like TOO MUCH attention to wedding rings due to the fact that they make me Feel Ways, so i actually have a lot to say about this!!! i am the co-president of the joe trohman hands and ring committee after all (shoutout ash)…however, tldr: i would say that him not wearing his ring is not a bad sign to ME bc of the evidence on this matter. and i’m putting it under a cut cuz i kind of typed a lot here 😭
joe didnt wear his wedding ring almost at all on tourdust or eurodust either (there’s the joe coffee run picture that he’s wearing it, but i believe that was taken in la, and he lives in la, so he could have just dropped it off at home or whatever lol), but it actually goes much further back than that! iirc joe started first inconsistently wearing his wedding ring in 2017 or so, and he and his wife had a baby the next year, so it is not necessarily the sign of a split or anything that he is not wearing it :-)
there could be many many reasons that he doesn’t wear it while touring/playing. it may be the case that he doesn’t like to travel with it for fear of losing it, especially considering his ring was upgraded recently ish it seems. see the pics below, left picture=2019 or so i believe, right picture=early 2023 from the hmlag shoot. as you can see the new ring has a different design, there’s some carving or maybe there’s even like diamonds in the band idk it’s hard to see fully, but it really could be the case that it’s a much more expensive ring, thus not wanting to travel with it because of the cost to replace if he lost it
there are also other personal reasons he may choose to not wear it: it could be for fluctuating finger sizes due to medical reasons or weight changes (i am not implying it looks like he gained or lost weight lol it doesn’t seem that way, but even small weight changes that are invisible to us can impact your finger size, or a high-sodium diet can contribute the fingers swelling more, so on and so forth), it could be the case that it’s become uncomfortable to play in (as an example, there’s that one video from 2013 or so of an acoustic performance where patrick removes his wedding band because of the slide sound it’s making on the neck of the guitar, so it’s not inconceivable that a wedding ring could get in the way/be uncomfortable for playing in), or SOOO many different reasons that he stopped wearing it that we may not know about (and that’s ok!!)
during their last show (or maybe one of their last shows? i can’t remember for sure but def a december 2023 show) he brought out this lil number which appears to be a silicone ring. and he only used this for one show and hasn’t brought it back since, but it just may not have been an alternative that worked for him. i know for example my uncle had a bad allergic reaction on his hands when he tried to switch to a silicone wedding band, so maybe something similar could have happened to joe with this silicone band, or just not liking the feel of it, etc
another piece of evidence that i think should soothe you as well, he was wearing his real ring during his christmas video, even if he wasn’t wearing his ring almost at all during 2023 tour :)
as well, i’m not going to include the pics (but you can find it easily on meredith’s reel lol), but marie was at andy and meredith’s wedding too, just another lil piece of evidence that im not concerned about the state of their relationship :)
lastly, its important to know that he has marie’s initials tattooed on the inner part of his ring finger (the m is covered up by his wedding band in these pics but i can’t find others where it’s more visible lol), so even when he’s not wearing his wedding ring, it’s like she’s always with him :-) and i bet that’s part of the reason that he doesn’t seem overly concerned with finding an alternative band, because functionally the tattoo still shows his commitment to her <33
aside from all of this even, im not worried about their relationship; joe has been head over heels for her from the moment they met, so i think they will be together forever and ever 💖 (and well god forbid if they do ever split i may have to cermet soup of side bc i love them so much…yes im a crazy insane joegirl yes i like rpf BUT ALSO yes i love marie and their relationship in general WE EXIST. do they need a third or perhaps another dog i can bark etc etc)

time and time again its proven that a lotttttttt of people only got into social justice/politics/whatever you wanna call it to learn the appropriate language to back up their poor little meow meowism and find reasons to explain why they don't have to care abt anyone else bc of history of bad things happening to this identity and that identity and when the focus isn't on how they are the most downtrodden person in the whole wide world they self implode bc all they want is the social power that comes from being a 'victim'
