Having A Silly Thought about this post:

I think, at some point, Q-branch becomes very absorbed in the discussion of how Evil Overlord and Evil Consort are clearly two separate genders which bear no relationship to the gender binary of masculinity vs. femininity. A cis man can certainly be an Evil Consort! A nonbinary individual or a person whose gender presentation leans more toward the femme side of things can certainly be an Evil Overlord! These things are complex and variable and must not be restricted based on the artificial confines of the gender binary!

There is much discussion on this topic (a very normal topic of conversation in Q-branch, TBH). People begin analyzing themselves to determine whether they are more on the 'Evil Overlord' side of the spectrum or more on the 'Evil Consort' side.

(Soon, a small group insists that a third gender of 'Evil Henchperson' must be created as well, and this is accordingly done. A few other 'evil' genders pop up, too, as some techs choose a different label for themselves. But most people in the department are trying to decide whether they're more of an Evil Overlord or an Evil Consort.)

Graphs and charts are created to analyze the ratio of responses and to sift for patterns in the collected data. (Again, this is a very normal extracurricular activity in Q-branch.)

Q, everyone agrees, is an Evil Overlord and not at all an Evil Consort! This is understood. (Q does not speak to this himself, because he is busy finishing the annual budget, but his minions feel confident that they have assessed him correctly.)

And at some point, 007 turns up in Q-branch and wants to know what's going on with the white board that says 'Evil Overlord' and 'Evil Consort', with tally marks underneath it.

One of the bolder interns explains the matter to him. (Half the techs are now feeling very awkward and avoiding his eyes. How frivolous they must seem to a man who puts his life on the line for England every day!)

But Bond listens very solemnly and then tells them to put a tally mark under 'Evil Consort' on his behalf, because he is UNDOUBTEDLY that type. He is confident that he would look SPLENDID in a skintight black leather outfit, lounging across his overlord's lap while a traitorous minion is brought in for punishment. He would be EXCEPTIONALLY good at climbing out of the water, gleaming and dripping, in a tiny swimsuit, while his Evil Overlord makes evil phone calls on the deck of an evil yacht. He knows EXACTLY what the duties of Evil Consort would entail, and he could perform them with APLOMB. He would bring tremendous style and panache to the role!

...This is probably the point when Q pops out from his office to see what all the ruckus is about, and why Bond is loitering in Q-branch with a bunch of rapt technicians hanging on his every word.

When Bond explains, very seriously, that he is contributing his personal data for use on this important project (he is 100% an Evil Consort, and yes, Carstairs, he WILL fill out your form and offer supplemental data for additional analysis! glad to help!) Q sputters. He tells Bond to stop being ridiculous.

Bond, very seriously, informs Q that he cannot help being so good at smirking, smoldering, and sashaying around in risque outfits. Don't hate the player, Q. Hate the game.

Q is silent for a long, exasperated moment. Then he heaves a sigh and returns to his paperwork.

Meanwhile, the minions nod at each other solemnly, and silently agree that Bond would be an excellent Consort for their beloved Overlord.

...Just another normal day in Q-branch!

i love making them gay but i also love making them just... exist

I need more of Killer gaining weight as a metaphor for healing when he's with Color.

Need that guy to get a bit of a belly and be happy about it. Finally, his access to food is not restricted and controlled by his abusers. Finally, he can be full and happy without judgment and reprimand. Finally, his body is his and it doesn't have to be in perfect shape for battle at all times (or what Chara and Nightmare passed off for that) just in case someone decides to use him

So this is Winnie... I usually drew them just into my sketchbook or into digital sketches... This is the first time I drew and color them :D Also, funfact: the screen likes to change... sometimes it's black (Like this) and sometimes it's inverted, in other words, it's white :3

some doodles of rizu and ck .. potential bits of his dynamic with them

[howlsofbloodhounds]

yall think color and killer ever had a talk about what would come after, or if, color managed to fulfill his mission and rescue killer. if they’d stay in touch, if they’d still talk, if they’d go their separate ways. and like, color of course wants to still be friends or at least keep contact, but he of course asks killer if he wants him to stay even after killer’s free. like do yall think they had that talk.

the confirmation that they’ve actually grown to care about eachother and trust eachother and want to stay together, that color has come to care about killer as his friend, rather than initially because it was the right thing to do, and color would’ve helped anyone who had asked him for help to escape a dangerous situation. and maybe he shouldn’t have grown so attached to someone in such a dangerous situation where he could easily lose killer, but he did.

I’m on the aroace cole agenda now sorry not sorry

[worm-fanon-polls]

This one is more of a question of what you headcanon taylon hober as, since there is technically a canonical answer, it's just that it's a stupid canonical answer and i've elected to ignore it (sick avengers 2012 reference)

sadly we don't have ranked choice voting, but I will lump answers within categories

there are so many options I had to cut because there are only 12 selectable answers for the poll. It's FUCKED okay? it's FUCKED. Honestly, you're kind of gonna have to write in for any answer since 12 options allows for basically no nuance.

the slug is not a gender

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it! Just. Don't yell, please?

A Masterpost About Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs)

During the upcoming presidency, it is likely that people in the US will lose many options that keep them from getting pregnant (contraceptives). The right-wing Project 2025 is against birth control pills, abortion, emergency contraception, and the government-provided health insurance ("Obamacare," Medicaid, and Medicare) that helps people afford these.

If you or your partner are concerned about the possibility of losing access to those options soon, you can ask your doctor or Planned Parenthood about getting a Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC). The two kinds of LARCs are IUDs and the implant. If you get a LARC right now, it can protect you for years, without you having to do anything to maintain it. A LARC isn't permanent, so you can get rid of it if you later decide that you're ready to have a baby.

Hormonal Intrauterine Device: 3, 5, or 8 years of protection, depending on brand

An IUD is a T-shaped object that a nurse or doctor puts into your uterus. It's tiny, just a little more than an inch. The procedure for getting an IUD isn't surgery, it lasts just a few minutes, and it goes much better if you ask for an anti-anxiety medicine and the right type of painkiller.

Hormonal IUDs work because they slowly release progestin. That's the main hormone in birth control pills. Like pills, they can make your periods get lighter or stop, which is helpful for people who need to get rid of cramps and PMS.

Of the brands of them in the US, the FDA currently approves of using Kyleena for up to five years, Liletta for eight, Mirena for eight, and Skyla for three. Kyleena and Skyla are smallest and therefore easiest to insert.

I have more info in my tags about IUDs.

Copper IUDs: 12 years of protection

The other type of IUD is a copper IUD. Instead of changing your hormones, it works because copper makes the place unfriendly to sperm. Another difference is that this kind can make your periods heavier. Its brand name is Paragard. The FDA approves of using it for ten years, but studies show it's still good at twelve or longer. More info in my tags.

The birth control implant: 5 years of protection

It's a rod the size of a matchstick. A nurse or doctor uses an applicator to put it under your skin in your arm. There, it will slowly release progestin to protect you from getting pregnant. It can make your periods get lighter or stop. The FDA approves of using it for three years, but a study shows it's still 100% effective five years later, and so does another study. Its brand name is Nexplanon, which has improvements over the older Implanon, such as being visible on X-ray. More info in my tags.

Some honorable mentions

There are some other contraceptives that last a long time but aren't considered LARCs. The diaphragm and the cervical cap are two kinds of plastic cap that you put on your cervix each time before sex, and you can keep using the same one for two years. The birth control ring, Annovera, lasts one year. Each injection of the birth control shot, Depo-Provera, lasts three months.

Only barrier methods such as condoms, internal condoms, and dental dams can protect against sexually transmitted infections. The right wing wants to stop people from getting condoms, too. That's another problem, but LARCs can help us get through the next four years without unplanned pregnancies.

I got an idea for an AU where regular Killer ends up in a Multiverse where Nightmare is nice but sort of powerless and none of the entirely negative AUs ever actually existed.

Just Killer looking around at this perfectly fine place and being like: *Sigh* "Guess I'll have to do everything myself".

He doesn't have any particular drive either. He's genuinely like canon Killer. He doesn't have a horse in this race. He could just chill. Maybe kill a few people for the thrill of it. But no. He's been taught what a Multiverse is supposed to look like and my guy is far too autistic to let go of that vision. He's gonna fix this shit even if it means becoming a guardian himself.

I just think it would be funny to have people try to stop him by appealing to his empathy and emotions (because, again, they don't know this guy. He doesn't exist there) but none of that works because he's got a vision. It's not his vision, however he is pretty dang sure it's the correct one.

We can also have Color being the one who understands that he's being too stubborn about this shit (he's also autistic, he gets that mindset) and reasoning with him in the end.

I don't know, it just tickles my funny bone to think about it
