My main fandom is IEYTD, but I like to dabble in a lot of other things too! Hoping to feel more comfortable posting my art and reblogging on this account since I accidentally made my main one a fandom account-

[kalgalen]

don't get me wrong i love "always knew i wasn't a boy/girl" narratives but how about we start writing about "knew about trans people but couldn't imagine being one because Surely I'm not special that way and instead just kinda bad at being a boy/girl"

[letmebegaytodd]

i do enjoy in survival-esque escape-type movies when someone gets hurt and someone else is like “i can help, don’t worry i’m a doctor.” like. they’re probably not lying, but they totally could be

[letmebegaytodd]

just once i want the villain in the movie to be revealed as the person in the group who said they were a doctor and everyone had just taken them at their word because why the fuck would you lie about that

[letmebegaytodd]

i can’t believe all the bad luck and injuries that have befallen our little group. good thing we have Dr. Hedical Halpractice with us

[letmebegaytodd]

now THIS is a concept!

[letmebegaytodd]

Also, cannot stress enough that Dr. Hedical Halpractice does NOT have some sort of doctorate in an unaffiliated field like a fun switcheroo, he just LOVES lying and is a HUGE asshole

[letmebegaytodd]

okay!

[nudityandnerdery]

Dr. Halpractice is gonna rearrange your guts… One way or another.

This concept is especially funny because talking to like. 99% of healthcare workers about medical dramas and they'll tell you how XYZ's inaccurate and this is dramatized and overkill and we'd just do CPR, not cut their throat open and slide a bendy straw in to give them a new artificial airway- etc

So just picturing a healthcare worker being like "ugh, that's not how that works. The patient would run into X complications" only for the patient to die of said complications???

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

[x0401x]

Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.

Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.

[starfieldcanvas]

wow. really hope this isn't actually a norm taking hold with new users! this isn't facebook, you don't need to know people before following them

[westiec]

this is the '10 year mutuals you've never spoken to once' site

[startrekgifs]

Follow! REBLOG! It's how the site works!!

[storm-of-feathers]

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

[calivide]

A company using Ao3 as their proof that they're LGBT friendly because their fandom writes gay fics is like the tycoon of a beer company stepping into a greasy, run down dive bar, shining a beacon onto two strippers in the corner, and saying "See? We support sex workers, they're drinking our beer!"

Fallen London is sooooo funny because rn I'm supposed to become the governor of a colony and build a submarine and I was renowned for writing plays and novels in the Empress's court until I was exiled in disgrace and I was also briefly a university professor in the field of Eldritch Bullshit until I got fired for solving a murder in a way that was inconvenient to university politics and two different devils want to fuck me steal my soul so bad it makes them look stupid but at the end of the day my actual legal job is. rat catcher 🐀

ITS TIME

[womanenjoyer]

like at least 50% of internet lgbt discourse would evaporate if people quit using the term "spaces" when they mean "discord servers" or "tumblr blogs" because we would collectively realize how stupid that shit is

“this is a lesbian-only space” no this is the tiktok comments on a chappell roan video

Montana Supreme Court Rules Its Constitution Entirely Protects Trans Citizens In Landmark Ruling

The ruling will have enormous impacts for transgender residents in the state.

HOLY SHIT

[definite-human]

"The Montana court separately declared that transgender people constitute a suspect class under the state's equal protection clause. In legal terms, a suspect class is a group that has historically faced such severe discrimination that any law targeting them must meet the highest level of judicial scrutiny to survive—the same standard applied to laws that discriminate on the basis of race. [...] The practical effect is sweeping: any Montana law that singles out transgender people will now face strict scrutiny, meaning the state must prove the law serves a compelling interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve it—a standard that laws almost never survive.

"Because the decision rests entirely on the Montana Constitution, it is insulated from the U.S. Supreme Court. Under the principle of adequate and independent state grounds, the federal Supreme Court cannot review a state court's interpretation of its own constitution, so long as that constitution provides more protection than the federal one. [...] What this means in practice is that Montana's transgender residents now have a constitutional shield completely independent of the Supreme Court of the United State’s decisions."

(emphases mine)

[greelin]

did perfectionism ever truly protect you from harm or neglect as a child though. ultimately. Lol

[greelin]

[REALLY NORMAL AND WELL-ADJUSTED VOICE] well you never know maybe it COULD have saved me. if i ever actually achieved perfection. it could have happened then. if i was actually ever enough. Which i was not

not sure if I fully captured the lighting, but an attempt was made

My favorite part whenever a new straw hat joins the crew is watching their unraveling, as they realize that these freaks are always at an 11 and they cannot bring it down. At first they’re like, oh god how am I gonna handle this?? Then, they slowly start losing it until they’re also at a constant 11 and cannot bring it down.
