what's your "if I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone but there would be signs" thing? mine is getting a fully green kitchen

i hate the "we should only have queer actors playing queer characters" argument for several reasons. but what annoys me the most is that people who argue this straight up don't realize that it's illegal to ask someone about their sexuality in relation to a job interview. like an audition. i don't think breaking anti-discrimination laws to screen people's sexualities to determine their employment is the woke take you think it is.

[pjeckleburg]

and just. setting that aside. if you're saying "we should only have queer actors playing queer characters" you're saying that queer people must be publicly out to play a queer character. even if that actor and that character have the same sexuality. that actor has to disclose that to the whole world. again. i don't think demanding queer people to out themselves in order to engage with a queer acting role is doing anyone any good.

[pjeckleburg]

head in hands. it's acting. it's playing make believe. i don't care if the actress playing a lesbian character has kissed a woman before. i care if she's good at pretending she has.

Dimension 20: Neverafter — Episode 9, “Origins”

[telumendils]

#the allegory to Black boyhood Lou brought to this character is simply unmatched by any other adaptation of pinocchio. it's That Good.

[pronouncingitwang]

[ID: Three gifs of Lou Wilson in Dimension 20: Neverafter. He says, "I think Pinocchio wants to know why his life has been so hard. Why it needed to be this hard. Why everything has always been as hard as it is. Why nothing has ever worked out. "Why do other children get to lie and steal and still live good lives? And why does anytime I choose to do those things, I get hung, or my feet get burned, or my father gets eaten? "It's like every time I fail or have a misstep, I suffer the ultimate consequences, and that doesn't happen to other kids, and I want to know why. What was the goal? Why did I have to suffer?" /end ID]

i’m reading why does he do that and this last part has been ON FIRE, i am hollering in my house.

[sergle]

while i’m talking about this book again i should mention that, since it’s an abuse resource, Why Does He Do That is available to read for free as a pdf, and i’d highly recommend it.

[Alt text: Is He Doing It On Purpose?

When a client of mine tells me that he became abusive because he lost control of himself, I ask him why he didn’t do something even worse. For example, I might say, “You called her a fucking whore, you grabbed the phone out of her hand and whipped it across the room, and then you gave her a shove and she fell down. There she was at your feet, where it would have been easy to kick her in the head. Now, you have just finished telling me that you were ‘totally out of control’ at that time, but you didn’t kick her. What stopped you?” And the client can always give me a reason. Here are some common explanations:

“I wouldn’t want to cause her a serious injury.”

“I realized one of the children was watching.”

“I was afraid someone would call the police.”

“I could kill her if I did that.”

“The fight was getting loud, and I was afraid neighbors would hear.”

And the most frequent response of all:

“Jesus, I wouldn’t do that. I would never do something like that to her.”

The response that I almost never heard—I remember hearing it twice in fifteen years—was: “I don’t know.”

These ready answers strip the cover off of my clients’ loss-of-control excuse. While a man is on an abusive rampage, verbally or physically, his mind maintains awareness of a number of questions: “Am I doing something that other people could find out about, so it could make me look bad? Am I doing anything that could get me in legal trouble? Could I get hurt myself? Am I doing anything that I myself consider too cruel, gross, or violent?”

A critical insight seeped into me from working with my first few dozen clients: An abuser almost never does anything that he himself considers morally unacceptable. He may hide what he does because he thinks other people would disagree with it, but he feels justified inside. I can’t remember a client ever having said to me: “There’s no way I can defend what I did. It was just totally wrong.” He invariably has a reason that he considers good enough. In short, an abuser’s core problem is that he has a distorted sense of right and wrong. /End alt text]

this girl was showing all the signs of being a secret mermaid so i pushed her into the pool and she turned into a forty foot long mosasaurus which is tbh way cooler

[karvina]

not really sure how to get her out though

[karvina]

for those of you asking why i pushed her into the pool in the first place: i work for a duplicitous small town aquarium and i'm trying to kidnap mermaids to jump through hoops and shit to entertain tourists and make money. fucking obviously. now that i know she's actually a mosasaurus though i Have fallen in pure-hearted love with her

Give me a Peter Parker who's a little jaded. Give me a Peter Parker who's angry at the world. Give me a Peter Parker who stops caring about what other people think of him. Give me a Peter Parker who stops throwing his punches. Give me a Peter Parker who's a little mean.

Give me a Peter Parker who, after everything he's been through, after all the funerals he attended before he even turned eighteen, after all the losses that he suffered, decides that enough is enough. He doesn't have to be this small, inconsequential character who's just moving through life as if he's a point of pity for other people to drop into conversation.

Give me a Peter Parker who uses his grief and his anger to fuel him. Give me a Peter Parker who throws himself into his studies, who works harder than ever before in every aspect of his life - in university, in work, in Spider-man.Give me a Peter Parker who, after mentally tallying every loss, every moment of grief, every time 'Parker Luck' struck him down, and decides that he cannot break. There's too much to gain and so little to lose, and he decides that he will show everyone exactly who he is.
