I’m afraid that when I say “my butch,” people, especially straight people, are hearing “my daddy.” That’s fine for many. But when I say “my butch”, what I mean is:

One day you're going to miss me chasing you. You're going to miss how much I cared.

this is basically what having rejection-sensitive dysphoria feels like when someone disagrees with you

…can’t believe i need to say this in 2024, but if you see a tumblr blog that’s an obvious sockpuppet, just block them. don’t give them any attention.

for those who weren’t aware, a sockpuppet is an account that someone uses to pretend to be someone they aren't, usually for the sake of accomplishing a particular goal. "asexual" sockpuppets were used extensively in tumblr's ace discourse years (which reached their peak in 2016-2019). aphobes and exclusionists made blogs where they roleplayed as exaggerated aspec caricatures, trying to paint asexuals as childish, ignorant, bigoted, etc - in a word, "cringey." crazey-acey-in-spacey was an especially notorious example of a sockpuppet that a lot of people took at face value, since their deliberately outrageous behavior (falsely) confirmed a lot of the biases tumblr users already had about aspecs. it's NEVER worth engaging with any of these accounts - don't feed the trolls, as they used to say.

ways to spot an "asexual" sockpuppet:

makes a lot of statements that are intentionally tone-deaf and offensive. especially look out for sudden mentions of race/analogies to racism ("ace genocide," "ace reparations") - a common tactic in the acecourse days was to paint asexuality as a "white" orientation, and to suggest asexuals were racist.

references other infamous sockpuppets like crazy-acey and the "warm milk aceggot" post.

makes claims about famous people being aspec, especially people who are known for bigoted beliefs. it was very common for aphobes to make asexual moodboards of people like thatcher or trump; they did this to paint aspecs as out of touch with reality and the wider queer community, and to strengthen the association between asexuality and bigotry.

use of the words "acey" or "asexy." some people do use these words in a positive sense now, but anti-aspec shit-stirrers used them a lot back in the day to imply asexuals were stupid and childish. (and if we're being honest? autistic, too. the aphobic parts of tumblr had a VERY strong undercurrent of ableism.)

this one's a bit less common, but watch out for references to christianity. one widespread aphobic talking point is calling asexuals "puritans" and suggesting that they're aligned more with conservative christianity than the rest of the queer community. aspec christians certainly exist, but given the history of this site, it's just better to double-check aspec accounts that bring up christianity out of the blue when they're engaging with other blogs.

it can be hard to tell the difference between a sockpuppet and a genuine aspec account if you don't have the exact same amount of 2016 tumblr brainrot as me, so feel free to message me and ask about anything you're not sure about - my dms are always open 👍

isekai anime where the fantasy character from a game dies and gets reincarnated into the real world inside the body of a depressed teenager and at first they treat it like a regular isekai before one day they wake up and realize the original teenager is in control of the body again, they cant do anything, and the teenager can actually talk to them and turns out there are like 20 other fictional characters that got isekai'd into this one teenagers body. and it never explicity states what its about but youre picking up what im putting down right

So....we should definitely be worried about those mannequins right??? Cause I'm definitely worried about them now.

The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.

"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."

I asked one of my (male) friends to stop using the phrase “man up” and he has been using “fortify” for the past two weeks instead and it’s just a little thing but honestly it makes a difference

and tbh it’s also pretty funny when I start to deflate in the library and he leans over and goes “FORTIFY”

There's something about audio repeating over and over again robotically that creeps me out so much. Like, for example, the repeated "They can sense the rythym of your blood" and "What do you see?" at the start of the song Werewolf, Baby. It just scares the shut out of me. I have no idea why

no more infighting over identity labels. i just saw a post where op listed various queer identity microlabels, sorted into two categories under "support" and "don't support". It was super silly, but also made me frustrated and sad. so here's my message to my fellow severely online queers: other queer people are not your enemy. you might think their labels are nonsense, or contradictory, or even offensive - learn to accept this. remember what you are fighting for: freedom of identity, freedom of expression, bodily autonomy, liberation from binary-hetero-patriarchy. FOR ALL! playing identity cop is utterly counterproductive to the cause.

I’ll get into my initial thoughts in a bit but quick rundown of the things that got confirmed about the characters in episode 5:

- Pomni was an accountant for a supermarket chain (not C&A like I and others originally predicted), and she liked urban spelunking and making videos about it (which surprised me for some reason but also it’s fun learning more about her life outside the circus)

- Zooble worked as both a bartender and tattoo artist and also liked urban spelunking

- Gangle went to community college for graphic design but ended up working in fast food

- Ragatha grew up in a wealthy family who owned farmland, worked in real estate, and had a horrible mother who appears to be the source of her attachment issues and people pleasing tendencies (I KNEW IT I JUST KNEW HER ISSUES STEMMED FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE)

- Jax remains an enigma (the way I gasped when I thought for two seconds he actually had cancer before it became a Breaking Bad reference)

If that’s not every writer ever, I don’t know what is!
