Been playing In Stars and Time and I don't think I've ever seen such blatant aromantic rep before. Mirabelle I will defend you with my life <3

[p-taryn-dactyl]

ok so i have a request

could anyone, idc if it’s the same person over anon or not, send in questions about the script im writing? like about the characters or plot or anything? even like what music i would want playing would be a great question! i’ve been wanting to work on it but i think this would be a great way for me to get my inspo for it back?

also, i have a few fics ready to be posted soon - my queue hasn’t been working so i didn’t know a lot of the things i thought were already out have not been posted so i apologize about that!

Til the day I die, my claim to fame is gonna be that I was the person Brian chose for audience participation in the Grunch.

My asexual ass is going to forever be that person who yelled COCK with Corey Dorris...

Worth it.

In related news; watch How the Grunch Cribbed Christmas by the Tin Can Bros releasing now on Youtube.

Scooby-Doo meets the Grinch meets comedic holiday existentialism.

So we've got no proof, but according to stories, my great-grandfather got a woman pregnant in France during ww2

When she tried to get him to meet her family so they could marry, he fucked off back to the states where he proceeded to father 8 more children, and repeatedly get arrested for adultry.

I love the man. But as his heir and executor, I am constantly afraid of theoretically receiving "hello he was my father" phone calls because I will have a lot of trouble disputing them. 😅

Holy shit.

Jude: I prevented a murder today. Cardan: Really? That’s amazing! How did you do that? Jude: Self-control.

[letmeliveinelfhame]

Here's why Taryn was 50% in the wrong and 50% in the right:

IN THE WRONG

She went and DEMANDED Locke marry her. He probably had no intentions of marrying her until then. She wouldn't have ended up in a shit marriage situation if she hadn't demanded it, and pressured him by claiming she might ruin his fun (I am in no way trying to make Locke look good btw, he is such an asshole and he got what he deserved)

IN THE RIGHT

She wanted Locke to tell Jude his real intentions. She wanted Jude to know what Locke was doing. She might have told Jude herself if he didn't, until Locke came up with the condition that Taryn must keep quiet about them. If she could have told Jude, I think the betrayal would have been so much less than what it is

Hot take: Anyone who categorically hates Tamlin completely lacks media literacy.

[tiny-tyrant-taryn]

My confidence is never higher than when I have tardis blue hair and black lipstick.

Like I've shrugged off every little voice telling me what's wrong with myself.

It's amazing what one or two personal choices can do to change your outlook.

adjacent advice: if you need more confidence, get a cool jacket or a haircut or something and think about how cool it makes you. this is loser advice, but we're all losers here. swallow your pride and roleplay as a cool guy and you'll become a cool guy.

lord take all the hate taryn gets, triple it and give it to lady asha

[decidueyes]

this is a serious game about saving the world😅

[p-taryn-dactyl]

rant!

ok so basically

my roommate told me that she and her summer bridge roommate are thinking about moving into a dorm together this semester, bc the summer roommate is having problems with her current roommate. now normally, i would be fine bc i think myself a nice person, however... this just brings up all my complaints that i had tried to keep quiet about

one, she is the one who insisted on bringing the fridge and microwave from her home so we wouldnt have to rent it (she'll be taking those with her and btw we're only allowed one fridge and microwave per room)

this really isn't a major complaint but she's a recent turned vegan and makes it seem like such a disability and that she's 'helping the world' by being vegan. i get it if it's a health thing or religious but just because you chose to not have the joy of real cheese doesn't mean you're oppressed bbg

adding on to the previous point, ig since she brought the fridge she thinks that she needs to use every. inch. of space of it. like this girl buys entire shelves of food from the store and gets confused when i say i couldn't fit my lunch for the next day in there. like yes, you did bring the fridge (bc you insisted) but these things are supposed to be 50/50 arrangments

she also takes up like 75% of the room. im glad i chose to loft my bed bc now my desk in under there and my drawers but if i hadn't, we would have a major problem. she brought what feels like her whole room plus a few items. i thought i had overpacked but guys, she has so much shit. her desk is covered in things bc she doesn't have a place to put them after already using most of the "shared" storage she brought (and told me not to worry about bc before move in i had expressed just normally fears of moving in)

she has a giant fucking scooter that takes up even more space, keep in mind our room isn't exactly the biggest. and i already have a vendetta againts people who ride bikes and scooters around campus. i do understand that it's easier and for some, a stressless way of getting to class, but when the sidewalk is packed with students walking and you push through on your bike or scooter i want to scream.

she's also like never in the room bc of being with her bf so im stuck in the room cleaning everything that SHE BROUGHT and when she is in the room, she makes offhanded comments about where i put my stuff (i keep everything i own in my little area, and yes sometimes it gets messy but i literally have no space)

and she never really uses all these things she brought??

this is just me lol but im super sensitive to smell and her food, when she makes microwave food, smells horrible and lingers. you might think im being dramatic but guys ive literally thrown up bc of the smell

this is weird: she firmly believes that catholics aren't christian? that led to me trying to explain the history behind abrahamic reglions and the different secs of christianity but she just brushed me off with a "i know an ex-catholic who said they're not christian"

has severe only child syndrome

now, if (probably when) she moves out, she'll be taking everything she brought with her

since she moved in before me bc of her summer program, idk how much space she truly takes up but ik that she's taking the fridge, the dehumidifier, the microwave, the 'shared' storage drawers, the filtered shower head (i bought the sink one), a lot of the cleaning supplies that she insisted on bringing bc she only uses 'sustainable' products, the big trash can that i said i would buy but when i was at the store she texted me and said she already bought one, and our 'shared' water filter

side note: she was always comparing me to her summer roommate, sometimes to the point that one of my friends had to tell her to stop bc i was visibly uncomfortable

and ik it sounds like i hate her and that im just being bitchy, but we are friendly it's just i don't think she's self-aware of a lot of things.

also, last thing: she makes being from texas her entire personality. i genuinely believe she doesn't know that texas is bigger than most european countries with how much she generalizes it's population

i lied, this is the last thing: she mentions a lot how "she's not like the basic girls" which irks me

ok 'rant' over! ik i sound like a bitch and im sorry but i wanted to get this all off my chest.

idk if anyone will have questions but if you do, i'll answer them lol

An uncle deadnamed an (absent) cousin at Thanksgiving one year at my house. He got hit with a cookie sheet while me, my husband and my siblings all yelled her correct name.

Meanwhile my mom from the living room: "Three of my kids are queer, guess which one just hit you."

(It was me. The agender one who he also constantly deadnames. 🙄)

i really hate coming out but still want my extended family to know, so my mother took it upon herself to invent the game “guess which one of my kids is gay.”

the rules are simple.

sit down with uncle so-and-so

he says something about gay people in passing

my mom says “there’s a gay person at this table right now. guess which of my kids it is!

he looks frantically between the three of us trying to figure out if she’s joking or not and trying desperately not to offend anyone but also she won’t continue with the conversation unless he makes a guess so he has to make a guess

we all enjoy his discomfort immensely

41 <33333

Oh shit.

I didn't actually expect to get one.

Tab 41 is "Her Time to Shine" by WildRiverInTheSky. It's a Sailor Moon fic, and I haven't read it yet!

Summary from author:

Has a strong Serena. Total re-imagining of the breakup arc (very little angst, lots of personal growth), the Black Moon Clan (No ChibiUsa), and Darien's Generals. It starts with Serena deciding to try to get Darien the perfect gift: his Generals back. While she is distracted with that, he is pulling away over constant nightmares of her death. Rated: M language & situations

So I have a similar experience.

My birth name was Mykaela. There were three Michaelas (and a Michael) in my class. Picture day was a nightmare because for some reason the class-roster provided to the photographer did not have last names, nor was it alphabetical.

So every time the guy called for Mykayla he got this multi-voiced chorus of "which one". Which I can only imagine scared the shit out of him. Because it definitely would've scared me.

Teacher to me (photographer): this is Mohammed.

Me: and last name?

Teacher: -shrug- his name is Mohammed, hes the only Mohammed at this school.

Mohammed: -is in preschool, doesnt know his last name-

Me: -looks up Mohammed in system- Nadir?

Teacher: sure, yeah. Sounds right.

I just wanted to say that I admire your dedication to taryn x garret/taryn since noone likes her lmaoo 😭😭 probably one of the only taryn truthers out there 🥲

asdkajsdkas thank you. I really didn't care that much about taryn after finishing the books—like she was interesting, and I thought holly had done something clever with her and jude's relationship, and the thought of the ghost/taryn dynamic gave me something to chew on in my free time, but that was it.

but then I came on tumblr and saw that people like. really see this 17 yr old traumatized girl as an irredeemable monster? and the more I thought about it, the more ridiculous that seemed to me?? like yes she genuinely makes bad, harmful decisions; I don't deny that. but damn, I'm glad my family & friends allowed me the chance to grow past the person I was at 17. we already see her growing in tqon, and it's clear from the new oak books that she and jude have made their peace (to the point that her disastrous marriage to locke is the butt of a joke!)

I'm also aware that for some people, taryn-hate is just a meme. that's fine, I get it, I've been in fandom spaces for most of my life at this point. but I truly believe you have more fun with the books when you read her as a whole person, and I'm also sad that we hold girl characters to much higher standards than their male counterparts—to the extent that we're so comfortable treating this teenage girl like the scum of the earth. and that's not even really to speak to the media analysis aspect of conversations surrounding taryn
