Sometimes I think abt Billie Joe Armstrong and I get so emotional. Does he know how many kids he gave the courage to come out as bisexual. How many people saw him and realized they were like him. Realized there were people like us and he told us what that was and it was Bisexual loud and proud and fuck you if youâve got a problem with that
[ID: a series of six images of Billie Joe Armstrong on stage wrapped in or holding the bisexual and rainbow flags on stage at multiple concerts. End ID]
They released a song about dressing in drag and fucking men while dressed in drag in 1997. King For A Day is, was, and always will be an extremely radical song, a revolutionary song, I cannot stress this enough especially to people born in the mid 2000âs how incredibly DANGEROUS it was for this very popular punk band to release a song like this back then. Well into the mid 2010âs it was still incredibly rare for anyone to be out and proud somewhere it wasnât safe. School, work, queer people hid. But in 1997, Green Day released a song about dressing in drag and fucking men.
Like, American Idiot contains the line âMaybe Iâm the faggot, Americaâ. People got ANGRY about it. Back then in 2004 when it was released it was because Green Day was âencouraging kids to be gayâ. Now when people get angry itâs because theyâre ignoring the history and the raw power behind that line, maybe I AM a faggot, fuck you, I like fucking dudes and I donât care what you have to say about it. Yet I still see people trying to cancel a band made up of THREE BISEXUAL MEN for saying the word faggot.
the distortion of "there is potential profit we did not earn" as "there is money we lost" is fascinating and disgusting to me. "megamediaconglomerate lost $1,000,000,000 to piracy this year" is a flat out lie. it is not true. they did not have a billion dollars, that they now do not have. they felt entitled to one billion dollars, that they did not have, and still do not have. it's an infuriating perversion of the truth
just because Twitterâs about to crack doesnât mean we should be distracted from this siteâs own problems which Iâm sure staff would enjoy. We still have a problem with predators on here and people posting child exploitation material. We still have fascist communities and hate groups here. We have groups of terfs that dox trans kids. A lot of people who rely on sex work for their income had their lives upended as a result of the porn ban. We have a broken automated moderation system that will fuck you up if it thinks it saw a nipple. Staff banned a bunch of real, vocal people of color during the height of the BLM movement in 2020 under the pretense that they were somehow foreign intelligence agents. We need significant change and improvement here, and if Twitter shuts down within the next year, Iâm sure that the people who run Tumblr as a business will have little motivation to do anything if their competitor is dead.
it was just a little check up to see new content before uninstalling again, you werenât aware that the game was becoming sentient. one cookie did not want you to leave again.
cw: obsessive behaviour, isolation.
- note: guess ill polish up this very au i created and carried back then, or make it more cringe. i supposed this is kind of a remake but also a sequel to the deleted pv fanfic i wrote. and a disclaimer: english is not my first language.
You didnât think much when you reinstalled the game. It was merely checking on what was new and what powerful cookies they have been releasing.
You also did not want to grind on it anymore, as luck was never on your side whenever you want to get the meta cookies. Not only that, the game was getting more and more difficult, and you couldnât put in the extra effort anymore.
Your hatred for the game has died down, fully accepting the fact that you will never get any of the Ancients nor the Legendaries like all your other friends.
However, what you did not expect when entering the game after so long was-
Why are the cookiesâ stats so broken?
You saw countless of 9s when you checked on all of them, even the ones you did not level up. Was this a glitch? Maybe you started up the game too fast before it could properly boot up.
You closed the game several times, but much to your surprise, the broken stats still remained. Not only that, interacting with the cookies in tbe kingdom caused them to say something interesting.
âBaker, youâre back? Weâve waited for your return for many monthsâŠ!â - Espresso Cookie
âTook ya long enough, darlinâ. Iâve been doing nothinâ but shooting pests to see if youâd come back. Ya did, guess I won the bet.â - Rye Cookie
âThe Bakerâs back?! I-I mean, Baker! Youâve returned. Princess Cookie and I were worried sick! Where have you gone to for so long?â - Knight Cookie
Damn, they made new dialogues for the older cookies now?
Seeing that all the cookies had been jacked up to the max, you decided that youâll do a run in Story Mode.
Where you left off, you had to go defeat Strawberry Crepe and their annoying minions, so you bought Strawberry Crepe with you. They seemed to be a little too excited being put in the party when they were going to beat up themselves.
The party gave little quotes, trying to impress the âBakerâ with new animations and skills. You remember there was a witch that gave life to them, but wasnât she evil? Maybe she redeemed herself.
It was breeze going through the stage, since all of your cookies were broken for some reason - but it did satisfy you as you struggled for while before putting Story Mode on hold.
Another thing you did not expect, was the amount of crystals you gained after you beaten the stage. It was a lot, enough to summon a lot of cookies and maybe a chance for an Ancient.
You were starting to think that there was a slight presence of a glitch, but you did not want to miss the opportunity of rolling in the gacha before heading to bed.
Then again, you were just checking up on the game, so you werenât comitting your effort again just to be disappointed.
You decided you were done with the game for now, closing the app and went to bed.
It was fun experience this âglitchâ while it lasted.
Ever since you left, the kingdom had never felt this cold. Longing for the warmth and clear sky you brought upon their land, the ghostly force picking them up and interacting with them. They wanted it back so badly.
The same said for the cookies that were stuck in the gacha. Forever wandering the void as they waited to get picked up. They became aware faster than the ones in the kingdom, for the loneliness made them realise what was limiting them from getting out.
Pure Vanilla was the first to notice this. He sat patiently in the void, assuming that he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to reveal himself to the young cookies that were rebuilding the kingdom.
He never questioned why he was in a void all alone.
Over time, he got a bit fidgety. Anxiety was building up inside as he wondered - why hasnât anything happened yet?
- Then he heard your voice. Your voice that entranced him. It has been so long since he had contact with any cookie. It would be nice to have someone to chat to while he was waiting.
âOh, no Pure Vanilla again. This gacha system really doesnât want me to get the rarer cookies, huh?â
Gacha system? What was that?
A rare cookie? Granted, he was an ancient figure, but he was still alive. Why does one need to get him?
A game? Broke? Why does one need money to get him?
The healer was so confused at what you were talking about, it was as if you wanted to buy him at an auction.
Perhaps your enticing voice was a way to lure him to the dark side, like with White Lily.
Yet, it calmed his nerves. He doesnât know how long he was trapped in this timeless void, but hearing your voice made it all better. Should he trust you, or keep his guard up?
He was in a safe place where you couldnât get him, avoiding you in fear for the worst fate he could be facing if he succumb to you. He could hear the desperation in your voice, wanting him to âcome homeâ.
The cries of your voice, the sudden shift to monotone and the slight agression, yet he still didnât want to come home.
- That was until your voice suddenly stops.
He assumed you left for a while, as you would always come back no matter what. It was hypocritical of him to be addicted to your voice, yet so scared to not join you.
But you were taking too long this time.
He waited for your return, and continued to wait.
He waited,
and waited,
and waited.
But where were you?
The anxious feeling was coming back, the void felt more colder than before, and everything around him started to go dark.
Was this the consequences of his actions? His tomfoolery for ignoring your desires? You merely wanted him to âcome homeâ. But he was a meek cookie, as he doesnât want to suffer the same fate as White Lily.
He realised that you were giving him warmth and comfort as he waited for the young cookies to properly face Straberry Crepe.
He realised that you were about strategies to take down the pesky enemies. He was too occupied by the sound of your voice that he didnât fully take in your words until now.
You were helping them, you were helping the young cookies fight Strawberry Crepe. Oh lord, he was such an idiot for not knowing about it sooner.
You kept him company as he rests in the void, you gave him warmth in this empty space, and he took you for granted.
He understood why you so badly wanted him to come home.
You wanted to show him the kingdom you helped revive. You needed him as an ally to fight against Dark Enchantress Cookie.
He overlooked your caring nature, he mistook your desperation to help him for desperation to overbake him.
It was his fault.
- No matter, heâll fix it.
Youâve done everything to help the cookies - the least he could do was to return the favour. He will get to work behind the scenes during these times when youâre gone.
He would prepare so much for your grand return. It doesnât matter if he has to wait for centuries for you to âcome homeâ, what matters is the joy and surprise of your voice as he finally showed up along with a new and improved kingdom he was planning about.
What if you started to praise him for his work? He could not handle the compliments if you directed it at him, he would simply faint..!
First things first, he has to get out of this damned void. From what he heard from you, this was a game, there was a system - and he was one of the rarer cookies to get because he was an ancient being.
If he could get rid of this system, would he be able to be free from this âgachaâ?
One way to find out.
If heâs powerful enough to fend off Dark Enchantress in the past before she trapped his soul within-
Then heâs powerful enough to take down this wretched system that was separating him from you.
Do not fret, for he shall come home, just like you always wanted him to.
A/N: well this was longer than expected. this was inspired by my experiences in crk, nothing special really. yes, i got emotional but thatâs because i have no life (and still doesnât have it)
um, i also tweaked the story a lilâ bit. didnt want pure vanilla to be severely obsessed with you so quickly, but isolation does worsen the case.
im tired, now i shall focus on my even longer madness combat headcanons before moving to the pokemon requests. toodles
splashed some color on this sketch I did last night :)
hereâs my design for Tord in my friend and Iâs version of eddsworld USA! heâs a redneck from Alabama, edd is his bf who lives in the woods in North Dakota. likes hunting fishing blah blah blah
