Ben's BS

Don't let my url fool you I am NOT a Sherlock girlie I'm stealing his name for myself

[benadrylcandlewhack]

Hello there!

The name's Ben (she/they). I'm a big big fan of Transformers, Red Dead Redemption, zoology and paleontology, and I'm hoping to become an animal health tech one day ^^

Most of my moots know me as a resident Wheeljack fan. I try my best to draw, I mostly do Transformers art (tagged with #ben's art, all of varying quality), and I'm working on a couple of Transformers AUs: My fan continuity, Transformers: Recharge and Rebound (which I'm writing out over on Ao3), and my humanformers AU (which features mostly my same interpretations of the Autobots) that I call the DadJack AU. Both of these prominently feature my main OC/kinda self insert, Sadie Monroe. You can find out everything about it on my side blog, @tf-rechargeandrebound or through my featured tags!! (Though please do follow the side blog lol)

If you're a terf or a zionist then fuck off, I'm so serious, I don't want you people here

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I just met David Kaye at Comicon and I asked him what BW Megatron named his duck and he said "Oswald" which he made up on the spot but I say we take it and run with it

Beautiful, you don’t HAVE to forgive them. You just can’t ridicule them after leaving for being “tainted” or “evil” or whatever the acceptable word is now. Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.

“But they should’ve known sooner” and we should’ve known sooner that Destiel was never gonna meaningfully happen outside of queerbaiting, what’s your point?

“I never want them near me” that’s fine, but you do realize to insult them, YOU have to get near THEM, right? Wouldn’t it be more conducive to what you want to just leave each other alone?

“What if one of them tries to approach me?” Then you block them online, or you keep the conversation clinical and polite irl. You do NOT take time out of your day to berate them for their old views. Your mother raised you better than that.

[pavilarg0]

Preserving these tags, they're very correct

[llamaking]

I would reblog this one million times if I could

[daysleftofsecondterm]

As a matter of fact you can!

This is fundamentally how cults WORK, btw

Villainize outsiders, which can look different depending on the cult, make everything an us vs them situation. And then when those outsiders show themselves to be hostile (doesn't matter why) the cult is proven right all along on one of their foundational messages

[anbaamisheru]

You don't have to throw them a party or be their friend but now more than ever, we need numbers on our side. You have to remember these people got pushed away and red pilled the first time and that's exactly how we got maga. Don't push them away again

I think there's some medias that you just cannot meaningfully engage with if your main priority is shipping

[bear-ylee-stable]

So many other kinds of human connection get put to the wayside with our current culture’s obsession with romantic love.

Don’t get me wrong it’s ok to ship romance but it doesn’t have to be the only type of relationship we celebrate in media, fandom space included.

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 

im not a pissbaby

[damncommunists-deactivated20180]

my white friends that have reblogged this give me life

[zelda-tempest]

4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP

[lallamariamhabibi]

If ur white and like this post I fux with u

[birdpapi-deactivated20171121]

^absolutely

[verdant-witch]

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this

[sm0k3-ring-deactivated20160109]

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

some advice for people entering their 20s:

-dont go to the emergency room with dental problems. go to the dentist

-bagged greens are cheaper than pre-made salads

-taco bell is NOT worth the money anymore. 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup sour cream, 3 tblspoons pickled jalapenos+2tblspoons of the jar liquid, 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder salt+pepper. all in your blender. creamy jalapeno sauce

-dont quit your job unless you have a bunch of job interviews lined up immediately after

-use resources. food bank, unemployment, housing assistance, financial aid, etc. yes there will be paperwork. but Do It

-dont stay awake longer than 20 hours. you Will start to become impulsive and cranky. resting for 20 minutes is better than trying to stay awake

-for every 2 hours you spend looking up close at screens, spend 20 minutes looking at something far away from you. stretch your wrists a lot

-dont do that yoga stretch where you roll your head around your shoulders. youre grinding down the joints in your neck

-be nice to your friends, bullying them as a joke gets old. if you need a ride somewhere at least offer them gas money

-brush your teeth at any time of the day but especially before you sleep. dont snack in bed if you can help it. make your bed the Clean Teeth Zone. keep floss picks by your bed

-dont tell your boss youre adhd/autism/depression/suicidal. dont trust your coworkers with that. you NEVER know how people will take it and its none of their business

-train your pets to go to the front door when they hear a fire alarm

-get regular oil changes

People rightfully deride purley identity based marketing (this comic has an asexual transgender protagonist! The genre is unimportant!) but you know. You know what. You know what really pisses me off

“Jennifers body meets little fires everywhere” “for fans of silvia moreno garcia and southern folk horror” “immersive horror fairy tale marrying crimson peak and pans labryinth” “steven king calls this novel a a modern tour de force” DESCRIBE YOUR BOOK

i nabbed this from a zionist who nabbed it from an antizionist but i couldnt find the og and im not fucking reblogging a "proud zionist" so im posting it here. truth + free palestine

[uptownthots]

you literally cannot find a news story about domestic violence towards women or women being murdered bg their male partners without seeing multiple men in the comments saying some version of “oh well she wasn’t innocent either” or “what did she do to set him off, women always do something” like they hate us so so so fucking bad. electric chair to all of them idc

[benadrylcandlewhack]

I think i need to block the Shauna tag because idk why but thinking about her and specifically her fans makes me like irrationally angry right now and yeah it probably is because my emotions have just been weird for months but if it helps im gonna do it

I'm glad most of what I know about schizophrenia came from reading stuff written by schizophrenic people on this stupid site because right now my psych class is giving a really skewed idea of it right now and I'm too nervous to say anything about it

[benadrylcandlewhack]

I should turn off anon because I just got an ask that was accusing me of hating women and Jewish people more than rapists or something and a bunch of other nonsense and I genuinely wanna see who would be brave enough to say something like that without hiding behind anon

[snazzy-suit]

So I’ve noticed in a lot of fan fiction that people like to have the ‘bots get down on “eye level” but seeing how friggin’ huge these guys are that would be kinda…difficult?? 

Anyway this is what I always imagine it looks like

[echoesovershadows]

You say that as if that wasn’t what some of us meant it to be in the first place when we write stuff like that. Half the time at least.
