Duke Doodlinnnnn

I made myself a prompt list in order to make several drawings of him and immediately lost it so I am now floundering on what to do with him 😔 My goal is to make maybe two or three more for him before the end of the year Fingers crossed!

No

Honestly, the beginning of Metroid Prime is actually so morbidly funny from the pirates perspective.

Imagine you're some poor no name underling on the Space Frigate Orpheon. Everything just turned to shit because some of those super dangerous mutant Parasites got loose. the ship is burning, and your comrades are bleeding out on the floor. With your last remaining power, you drag your body to the nearest communication unit to send out a desperate distress signal, and who does it reach? The ONE person that fucked up your Zebes station and took out all your leaders who just so happened to be passing by at the moment.

i just remembered that one panel where damian went to tim of all people for romantic advice, and i just realized that he could have just called duke up and asked him bc iirc isn’t duke currently in a committed relationship in canon?

dick needed to make sure everyone was keeping up on their agility

at least that’s what he claims when he takes cass, steph, and duke (and drags tim & damian) to a local dance studio for ballet classes twice a week. (jason comes when he has time, he quite likes it)

it’s all fun and games until the teacher wants to do a dance based off of gothams vigilantes

Yes, of course i will share — Wishing all of you well. I will be participating & i hope and ask that my followers and mutuals will too

As detailed in their posts & gofundme, Mahmoud needs help for his four children and his wife. They have repeatedly faced displacement in Gaza over the course of five years. His wife requires URGENT medical treatment for her kidneys, and, in Mahmoud's words "her condition is deteriorating due to the lack of treatment". More information is on his page, @hillesmahmoud, as well as the GFM link above.

PLEASE CONSIDER D0NATING. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS.

lol I really don’t understand people like the last anonymous ask. It’s literally fiction. It’s fake. Who cares who you ship? And especially who goes to the effort to harass people about their ships when it’s from fiction??

🤷 beats me as well, anon. My best guess is that the current online social climate just teaches younger people coming into fandom that this is the expected and appropriate way to act, and that the anti crowd just buys into that unquestioningly without thinking too deep about it

I would love to hear why East Richmond exists

Firstly: apologies it took me a couple of days to reply to this ask. I needed the time to untangle my complicated feelings toward East Richmond's existence.

One of the primary justifications that can be made for East Richmond's existence is simple: the early bird gets the worm. East Richmond was built in 1860, preceding Burnley's opening by 20 years. The route 70 tram down Swan Street hadn't been created yet either, and wouldn't be for several more decades. The real question, of course, is why it continues to exist, especially given how much rail infrastructure has disappeared over the years. This is a little bit more speculative on my part.

In the 1960s, the track between East Richmond and Burnley was quadrupled with the creation of an express track in both the inbound and outbound directions. Both stations are provisioned with infrastructure which allows for trains to leave the express track and continue their journeys via the non-express track. This means the section of track between Richmond and Camberwell is one of the few places in the metropolitan train network where express trains are actually express (i.e., capable of overtaking each other during ordinary train operations). Theoretically, other lines have junctions where some of the same capability should exist (holding a stopping all stations service on one platform so the express train can run ahead of it) but as the same infrastructure hasn't been built, there is no effective way to build a timetable that makes better use of the functionality.

It is also worth noting that prevailing wisdom suggests that it is always preferred to hold a train at a platform as customers tend to get antsy about being stuck on a stationary train that they can't get off 🥲.

Long story short, East Richmond station (and more importantly, the points/turnouts that have been grandfathered in because of it) has allowed for better timetable capacity for trains travelling through to Camberwell and Glen Waverley. At this point it would probably cost more money to get rid of it than to let it be, so East Richmond lives on to fight another day! I am also lead to believe it has surprisingly good patronage numbers given its relative lack of actual services.

it pisses me off so bad how many feminists fall for the decriminalization model for prostitution when it is CLEARLY propaganda for a model that ONLY benefits pimps and johns. like oh what if we had a system where the sex industry is entirely unregulated and anyone can do whatever they want i wonder who that benefits!!! it is esp CRAZY to me how they critique the legalization model (which i don’t like but is still better than decriminalization) by saying um it is actually too stigmatizing to sex workers to have regulations put on them 🥺 as if??? almost every industry is not heavily regulated by the government???? now why is it stigmatizing for sex workers to have regulations in place for their work but it isn’t for like? construction workers or miners or farmers or anyone who wants to open a business ever 🤔 the decriminalization model only serves to further isolate prostituted women & trafficked women by having the government say well it is all out of our hands have fun! and they CLAIM oh the police will help bc being a sex worker won’t be illegal. oh yes just like the police have ALWAYS helped when prostituted women have been murdered for instance (never). the stigmatization and dehumanization these women face will not magically go away if it is decriminalized. the police won’t magically care abt these women just bc what they do is no longer illegal. ppl don’t dislike prostitutes bc what they are doing is illegal it’s bc they view them as morally fallen women who have no worth in society. the ONLY ones who actually benefit from this model are pimps who could do whatever they want to the women they are selling and johns who can do whatever they want to the women they are buying. while the women have no means of fighting for their own rights bc oh you wanted the industry to have no regulations right? why would the government get involved now? and feminists close their eyes to this bc their definition of “listening to sex workers” is listening to the ones whose voices are the loudest bc they are the propaganda to promote the extremely profitable sex industry. endlessly frustrating.

Hi trans person here! I love your enthusiasm but I think that saying sex with a trans person would fix JKR is actually a harmful thing to say given the way terfs love to smear us as sexual predators who are just mad they won’t have sex with us. I’ve even seen terfs say that saying such things amount to rape threats which I think is a laughable exaggeration but I do think that it is distasteful to imply that a hateful person having sex with someone they don’t want to have sex with will somehow fix the hate. If that were true, men wouldn’t hate women. I know you mean it lightheartedly and I love you for your unwavering support of trans people but I think it just sends a message that is both uncomfortable and unhelpful. Thanks for listening!

Hi, trans person! I’m dad!

Nah, but fr, let’s talk because this ask fucks severely

I genuinely, 100% seriousness love this ask.

You were so kind to correct me. Telling allies “hey! Your support is great, and thank you for being an ally but did you know what you’re saying is harmful and has violent implications you may not be aware of due to your lived truth differing from those you are fighting for?” Is a skill, one that is sorely needed today, and like. Truly. Thank you for that. I think all my followers can learn from how you wrote this. This is fucking important.

I love how you came into my askbox and very succinctly laid out 1) how I fucked up 2) why it’s damaging 3) how the joke was intended, but reminded us that intention means nothing when what was said still causes damage and is in fact gross and unhelpful 4) didn’t do so out of anger, vengefulness, or as a hunt for justice.

I hope my response lives up to how you wrote your ask, because this was actually really lovely to see in my box—despite how embarrassed I am lmfao.

Thank you for setting an example, and I’m happy to have been part of this example. I’m sorry I had to be the example, but I’m really glad this happened.

So for context, I made a joke in the tags of a post about bitchass JKR. I can’t fuckin find the post, and I know I didn’t delete it. I’m kinda angry about it. But I vividly remember typing this out in the tags bc I thought I was soooooo funny for it. And I’ll explain why under the cut for anyone who cares. (It’s irrelevant and counterproductive to the point.)

I said something in the tags along the lines of

“Why is Joanne like this. I think she should try girlcock. Or boypussy. That could fix her.”

Edit: I found the post

And like yeah, obviously, that’s a joke. But anon is right that this type of humor in this context is just perpetuating the bullshit terf rhetoric that transfolk are sexual predators > being trans is inherently sexual in nature > then circles back around to reaffirm the damage that the current shame surrounding sex and sexuality, and how it does AND DOESNT relate to gender identity as a whole does to our social psyche collectively (completely out of breath, gasping for air bc of that fuck ass run-on sentence)

So, anyway, yeah. Lift up trans voices. Protect trans youth. Piss on Joanne.

We should kill her with hammers.

Thanks anon <3 youre the fuckin homie

Now, to add unnecessary context that neither justifies nor defends this type of humor in this situation, but perhaps you will understand why I thought I was being so funny when I made the joke akskdhskaksk

So like. I look just like ur average every day cis-het-white-girl irl. I’m very white passing. Very straight passing in my gender-role-conforming-passing longterm partnership, and I’m also considered a conventionally attractive “female” 🤢🤮in my neck of the woods—which is literally the white supremacist capitol of America.

Yayyyyyyyyy. My ancestral landsssssss.

My friend said something akin to “you look like just some normal cringe millennial white woman and I forget you’re not until you open your mouth and suddenly wax poetically and sigh dreamily about girlcock.”

So, I thought I was being funny by putting a generally agreed upon (who doesn’t love girlcock? All my homies love girlcock) (but also inappropriate inside joke) in the tags about how much I do indeed sigh dreamily about girlcock. I love women.

Like I actually rambled and forgot what the point of this post was and I had to scroll back up to remember bc I had to delete a whole 3 paragraphs about how much I fucking love women and how excited I would be to lift a fine honey’s skirt and find out she has a cock but like. Don’t wanna sound like I’m sexualizing trans women even tho I already sound like I’m tokenizing and fetishizing trans women lol. I just love women I’m sorry. I’m just a very horny bisexual who is very attracted to the human body like as a whole.
