DC COMICS NOW:

Me: *starts reading Nightwing comics*

Me: *happy and excited*

Me: *sees scene where Dick and Barbara are clearly interested in each other*

Me gets very sad & somehow uncomfortable: ...Uh..

Me: Ok, maybe tomorrow I'll finish it.

Me: *takes a break to look at Dick x Kory fanarts*

I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO MAKE KORY AND DICK TOGETHER AGAIN OK?! I MISS THEM SO MUCH THAT IT HURTS SOMETIMES- THEY WERE SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER

It's hard for me to go into detail why snorplo wouldn't be as loved in the fandom if they were a wlw couple without going into "What if the world was made of pudding?" territory.

Like you could say that they're popular because their relationship development is more "on screen" throughout the game, and people get hooked on seeing where it'll go. But again, like that poll said, would people act the same way if they were two women instead? Would people who think Snorpy's obliviousness is cute n endearing still feel the same if he was a woman? Would people view Chandlo's protectiveness of Snorpy as "overbearing" or "controlling" if he was a woman? We don't live in that universe, so it's hard to get an exact answer on this.

I think it's easier to compare how people view them in compared to how people view lizegg. I think the overall view on lizegg has gotten better compared to 2021 (i swear ppl straight up called Lizbert "abusive" one time and just...dude...), but it does feel like people don't really view them as anything more than just "The lesbians!", when their relationship is one of, if not the driving forces to the events of the entire game. Both their characters and especially their relationship have so much impact on the story and it really feels as though it just gets brushed off and seen as "not as important" because of their lack of screen time in comparison to other characters

idk dude im just thinking out loud here

my personal version on how all the burs would get to meet each other, 100pbur decided to do a special social experiment 

more comic and extra info below

once he realizes he and 100pbur are dressed the same simpbur would probably take off his work shirt to reveal some cringe anime T-Shirt below

Skyblock Wilbur has that magenta headcover made of jimjams wool because there's no clouds in the sky void where he lives so he has to protect himself from the sun

Tommy's costume design is just based on wind waker koroks (for the mask) and mothulas wings for the cape

smpe Wilbur and revivedbur are the first ones to catch on that god is literally just tommy with a mask

this probably will not be a series i just wanted to get this out of my system

heres another short one tho

I had another idea of where Skipp got his violin (I think it is a violin)

Spoilers for the webcomic, it is good you should read it.

I think there is quite a bit of evidence that Stone comes from a wealthy family and ran away. Having expensive habits such as drinking, the necklace he wears, the fact he brings up they ate shoes when Vinnie seems so unphased by the concept, his poetry from the microwave an emo, and also in the web comic, when Vinnie and Stone are faking their fight Vinnie tells Stone to 'Go back where you came from, pretty boy'. (also the fact just look at him, he is a walking embodiment of 'It isn't a phase, mom' expect it actually isn't and he likes where he is) I think all of this points to Stone was a former loot bag who ran away.

And this is where we go into complete head canon: I think when he was living in his family, they forced him to learn and play the violin frequently even though he hated the instrument. When he ran away, he took it with him(perhaps it was a particularly valuable violin to the family for personal reasons, so it was out of spite, or maybe it was just worth a lot of money because it looks like a nice instrument and he knew he was going to need it).

Eventually, he ran into Vinnie and Skipp, and Stone saw the fact Skipp had a really shitty, cobbled together violin but seemed actually passionate about it.... so Stone gave it to him and is really happy that Skipp is able to enjoy something he hated.

women will literally accuse women and esp lesbian circles of "not unpacking ""man-hating""" alleged ""misandry" sweetie xo" getting offended ppl aren't appropriately uplifting how "men are amazing and awesome and attractive and i won't be shamed for thinking so" as if appreciating men is a real counter opinion than blame whatever gave women of every sexuality instance to be jaded weary cautious and tired and who'll complain every now and then and continue on with her life until she dies putting up with patriarchy. just welcome to the "woke" internet where misogyny's over and "man-hate" "shamed for not hating men" is worth springing to defences for

yeah i've only seen people talk like men's rights activists and think they're being unbelievably progressive on tumblr it's kind of fascinating. like i can see how seeing people hate on men could mess with people and stuff but you can't demand men appreciation posts that's literally the whole world outside of idk your tumblr dash (or even on your tumblr dash because fandom misogyny from people who think they're not misogynistic at all is really something). men get praised for "babysitting" their own kids like be serious? it's very let men be masculine

i don't think being like men are soooo gross and we hate them is actually constructive and it can definitely veer into transphobia (you'll always be a man/"a male" and thus a danger to women/why would you ever want to become a man they're the enemy and the bane of society etc) and homophobia relatively quickly?

but the way people ON TUMBLR ""combat that"" is often so off to me like if the most basic feminist principles offend you then i'm not really sure where to go from here. i remember seeing a post that was like "men aren't your enemy. they're your friend/brother/father/colleague/neighbor" with a lot of notes and like i don't know how to tell you this but that's literally who's most likely to harm a woman, the men she knows?😭 and obviously not every system of oppression is exactly the same but would you say the same thing to someone criticizing white people like...just very weird

i think women who are attracted to men and dating them making jokes about how they only tolerate being attracted to men because they have no choice and especially the whole i'm bi so i love every woman and only find 1 in a 1000 men attractive (very often said while in a relationship with a man) thing is obnoxious and annoying for like everyone who has to hear it lmao but also when women who date men make jokes about it (not about them being ugly or unattractive or whatever but about them being bad partners in general) it's like. what else are they going to do like you said they're gonna endure patriarchy for the rest of their lives and as girlfriends/wives/mothers they go through the most it's very bleak? idk. it's not like you can date a better man yourself out of patriarchy

of course men aren't a all as bad as the worst guy you can imagine and they're not all out to get you or whatever but saying things like "men don't all benefit from the patriarchy rich men benefit from the patriarchy but jake, 23, is not oppressing you" is like. kind of insane. jake, 14, was oppressing me like have you never interacted with boys in school😭 and it's not like it was entirely their fault we all have to outgrow misogyny it's just you know society etc but some of them never outgrow it lmao and just...the takes you see on feminism on tumblr are astounding i hate it here

Hiyoko groovin'.

barnes and noble has been raising the prices of everything and further pushing for their premium membership option (which they raised the price of by 60 percent this year!) and then when they have big sales events, they're less than what they used to be.

last year at this time you could get one of their leather-bound book annex tomes for $12.50 (without a member discount) because of the 50 percent off all hardcover sales. but they raised the price of those tomes from 25 bucks to 30, and they decreased the sale from 50 percent off all hardcovers to 1/3rd off. so that same book that was $12.50 at last year's end-of-year sale is now 20 bucks. and that's supposed to be savings enough to induce me to walk into one of their stores this week?

i'm sorry but b&n has just gotten so greedy, even though their business has only been doing better and better in previous years. they do not have to be raising prices like they have been, and they can damn well afford to have the same savings events they used to. if you went to one of those hardcover sales a year or two ago, even if you lived in a less populated area like i do, you had never seen a b&n so busy in your life. things were flying off the shelves. they WERE making bank.

and as a company they've only been growing and growing (as much as the publishing industry has been, in recent years). but there are so many other ways to buy books. CHEAPER ways to buy books. MORE SUSTAINABLE ways to buy books. and since books and booksellers are doing really well right now, i don't see why barnes and noble is getting so greedy when they don't have to be. i dont like new shiny books that much. people buy books for the content, ultimately. sometimes we as consumers might make the choice that a new shiny book is worth paying a bit more for, but not that much. barnes and noble has just been demanding more and more of their customers' money for less and less benefit.

"It was just as impossible as wishing for a sudden refreshing shower in the outskirts of sunny, suffering Madrid during a false angel’s draught, wasn’t it? If perhaps only a bit more indecent." In unrelenting weather, it's hard not to hope for the impossible...

Pitting some of my fav OC ships against each other to see how chaotic it will be 🎉

Nothing too eventful for the bloodbath

peterick used to be a ship I liked, but I am not who I was in 2017. now, peterick is important to me on such a personal level, as a concept: a "different" kind of relationship between two Dudes being Dudes but it's gay but not gay and I have had that, too — and it's okay. I do not know everything about Pete and Patrick's friendship just like most people don't know everything about my relationships. despite what our society tells you, you can be gay and not gay with someone at the same time. 'cause being queer is a lot of things that you can't explain, and while the P2 relationship may not have any public labels that align them with "queer," it's different. it does the social barrier breaking that "queer" describes. it is everything I have and nothing I have at the same time because relationships are all unique but I'm unique like you and THAT is what makes it so important.

i know it's just that multichaper works end up with more hits but it's still kind of wild to me that my "successful" fics about the selfcest pairing are the ones set in AUs where its not selfcest.

i think a lot abt biker and jacket's relationship for someone who does not like them together romantically
