hello!

a study in botany of perhaps the odder sort. Currently into the weird combination of plants, faeries, cccc, and mcyt (hermitcraft, outsiders smp, trafficblr).

Hi, I am the Botanist. I use any pronouns, but I prefer if you pick a set and stick to it rather than switching.

I reblog things, I draw, and if you're really lucky, you'll catch me writing. My art and writing tag is ✏️. My ao3 is here.

Artblog: @glacial-art

My biggest interests right now are Minecraft (the game), MCYT (mainly 3rd Life SMP, Outsiders SMP), CCCC, and garden-related things (like flowers and insects).

Feel free to request doodles or drabbles.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

Do you think it's weird and/or predatory for a 13 year-old and a 30 year-old to be best friends if they're not family members or related by blood? Assuming everything is innocent and platonic. Nothing romantic or sexual.

Yes, it's weird and predatory

It's weird. But not predatory

It's predatory. But not weird

No, it's not weird or predatory

unpopular opinion but I don't think there's anything weird or predatory about an innocent friendship

[dianxiacantastemolecules]

The question is why the fuck is a thirty year old hanging out with a 13 year old if not in their family?? The only other relation that could have them interact is through teacher/student and bring friends like that would be weird as fuck

[creelson]

found family? the kid not feeling safe in their house? the adult wanting to help? family / teacher / school isn't always a guaranteed safe place. should the kid and adult each have friends that are their own age too? sure. but if their friendship is genuinely innocent then I think the problem isn't them but people who project their weird and predatory thoughts onto them

[the-bar-sinister]

Don't forget shared hobbies?

A 13 year old and a 30 year old could reasonably meet at a tabletop gaming store, a fiber arts group, a book club....

[audacityinblack]

They could literally just be neighbors. This whole isolationist thing of never even talking to the people you live closest to is new and weird.

[mstrickynici]

The thing that makes it weird is the "best" friend. If it's just friends ok, but best friends requires some form of equality.

Like theres no question the kid could go to the adult with their problems or if they need help, but you can't expect a kid to deal with an adults problems and/or be their emotional support.

Being best friends doesn't just involve having fun together, its helping each other as well.

[decemberwinter]

I mean my best friend is literally my cat so

imo "best friend" isn't necessarily always about someone you can reply on emotionally or someone you must share your experience or your trauma with. if you have a good time and are comfortable with their presence then you can consider them your best friend. that's why I voted not weird or predatory.

it would be weird if the adult started trauma dumping on the kid. but this poll didn't say anything about that so the best friend part alone is still not weird or predatory

it's nipniku's. it's pride month & indigenous history month. happy pride month & indigenous history month! a time to celebrate, honor & learn from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community & a time to celebrate, educate & appreciate the cultures, history & lived experiences of first nations, metis & inuit people.

happy pride! remember that being a transgender is everything but fiction. there are so many real historical figures from every century about whose transgenderism we aren't even aware of

on this picture i drew Alexandr Andreevich Alexandrov - cavalry officer of the russian imperial army that participated in napoleonic wars. people persistently keep on misgendering mispronounsing deadnaming and calling him a crossdresser although alexandrov clearly stated that he didn't want to be called by his deadname and being treated like anything but a man. that's an interesting historical figure and i wanted to draw attention to his person. i can't tell everything about him in only one post so i recomend you to read about alexandrov by yourself

also be proud of yourself and remember that you're valid! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

You get transported into the universe of the last media you consumed. How are you doing?

This is better than my real life

I'm doing well

I'm doing fine

I'm not having a good time

I'm absolutely cooked

There is nothing different about this universe and my own
