#statement on inevitability.

we never finished playing nitw together but "pastabilities" IS a meme in this home.

been practicing how to draw cats so I did a thing 🥺

The guy who made the "Squilf is worse" document said that Squirrelstar needs to be leashed by Brambleclaw. Using that exact word. They said that the relationship was failing because Bramble couldn't leash her.

How do I even respond to something like that. They'll say "I don't hate women" and wash it down with "I just think relationships fail when they're not leashed." Sigmund Freud rises from his grave like a popstar on a stage, complete with dry ice smoke, high heels, and hotpants, and uses his cigar as a microphone to perform his smash hit; The Freudian Slip.

not to give a shit about shipping fictional characters for a second but the ultimate fitzier song is love in the time of human papillomavirus by ajj i will not hear otherwise

Soph I love you but Taylor Swift does not “make herself the victim” there’s so much valid shit that has happened to her for us to feel that way about her, which most of her fans honestly don’t even see her as - granted there as some obnoxious ones but that goes for all fandoms.

Like for example of the experiences I was talking about.

- being sexually assaulted and then being called “greedy” for suing the guy.

- being painted as a “snake” because she didn’t react well to someone writing a misogynistic song about it. Which I feel like is a valid reaction as a woman in entertainment.

- being groomed at 19 by a 30+ something year old.

- getting called a snake worldwide for a narrative that 2 people - who were more famous than her at the time invented.

- being bodyshamed constantly when she had an eating disorder

Yes she’s privileged and has always been, coming from money and having fame, but she does not portray herself as the “victim” and the fact that people think she does just for standing up for herself makes me sad, not because of her but because being a woman myself it just paints the picture that women’s pain or experiences will always be brushed under the rug because we’re classified as “dramatic” and “we should take it with more grace” “be thankful about the good things” like??

I understand that you don’t like her but that assessment just seems wrong.

like i just. you realize you're proving my point right? like this - not just this message, but all of the ones i've gotten where people are waxing poetic about all of the struggles taylor swift has had and how she is absolutely a victim and how dare i suggest otherwise - is exactly what i'm talking about. you feel the need to jump down the throat of anyone who says anything remotely negative about her. this is the whole "victim" narrative, that she is vulnerable and must be protected and defended from all negativity at all times at all costs.

and like. that is on purpose. she has cultivated that narrative for this reason. so that publications are now afraid to post reviews of her albums with bylines because their journalists are getting death threats if they criticize her.

i am not suggesting that taylor swift has never had anything bad ever happen to her. that would be insane. i am trying to say that this culture that has been cultivated within her fanbase of defending and protecting her, is extreme and irrational. and when you don't buy into it, it makes a lot of the content surrounding taylor swift very hard to swallow.

sister wants to send me "proof" that jk rowling is transphobic, thinks she's the first person to challenge my beliefs (also does not know what my beliefs are)

[scarletiswailing347]

just finished reading delilah's statement, there was a lot of things in it that was either only tangentially related to the allegations or straight up unnecessary to put (in particular: putting in media references and cc metrics several times as flavor text, detailing the don turnt situation with no claims of whether or not permission was granted by the affected party, namedropping certain ccs who had nothing to do with the allegations, and putting the tweet and yearbook photo of one of the ppl who put forward that zam was a bully with no claims of whether or not permission was granted) which contributed a lot to the 47-page length

honestly so far what im getting is that there was a Lot of toxicity on multiple sides like not even just between zam and delilah

“All credit to the original makers,” I say, divorcing their work from its original context such that they can no longer be associated with it to get the credit…

[ghostiboos]

Is there some kind of community or volunteer program I could join to learn how to make designs and modifications for prosthetics? I’m more of an artist than an engineer, but I’ve always been kinda obsessed with the sculptural properties of prosthetics. Obviously when designing one, though, function and comfort come first, so if I ever got into it, I would want to make sure I’m making things people can actually use (not to mention afford).

MagmaFlower

Monologue

Point of view- MagmaSans.

Magma: A flower, once lively and beautiful... But if such beauty should disappear, lose its color, wither away or die... Can it even be considered a flower at all? Can it be possible to love such temporary beauty, and life?

Did it even have life to begin with? We are told to cherish the people that are in our lives... Because life is short... Sometimes too short...

What happens when those closest to you... Fades away... Father's abandon, go mad, and eventually lose sight... Then can be done?

Or a brother who cuts ties for lies or truth? He does not know... But still he left, he hates, he's angry and he- no... We are sad!!

What is a Flower? Oh how lonely of a flower...

P.S. this is the part of magma's backstory in relation to his brother papyrus and their dad gaster I'm about to finish up some drawings that will explain their relationship as to where it is right now.
