I am Always Confused

I am Null. I like books and some other things. I am very fond of grizzly bears and other large mammals. 28. (they/them)

poor John is so obsessed with control: he can freeze time, he can freeze the Houses in the suspended animation for myriad of years, he's resurrected and mindwiped his friends and made them his apostles so they would always stand by him while he remakes the world to his satisfaction. and none of this works! he can't control shit! Anastasia and the Ninth immediately betrayed him for Alecto, the Sixth made contingency plans on day one, Augustine and Mercy got in bed with him (literally) to get in bed with BoE (fiiguratively), and G1deon and Pyrrha took it even further (carnally), and Cytherea tried to eat his crop of baby lyctors. He's tried to make new apostles out of people more accustomed to seeing him as God, and none of them would've done it once they've figured the trick (except Ianthe, who would sell him to Satan for one corn chip in a hot second when it concerns Corona). his own dead daughter will betray him. the necromancers are in the intrigues and the Empire is in the neverending revolt. Alecto is the foundation of his powers and Alecto can not be controlled, too. death cannot control life. poor John.

i really wish boymom meant 'a multigender mother that also identifies as a boy/guy', not 'a misogynistic and incestuously abusive mother' : /

there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well

and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it

source another source

the researchers found that being online didnt make people more hostile, but that being online allowed already hostile people to dominate forum conversations, and the less aggressive people were much less likely to reply or engage, ending in just the aggressive people bickering at eachother

I got an alert for an abducted baby this morning, which is obviously terrible and I hope they find it safe and sound, but they described the baby as having "blue eyes and Bald hair" and i can't stop thinking about it

I bet raising your arm and summoning a weapon for you to grasp feels good as fuck

we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"

One thing I will always appreciate Fullmetal Alchemist for is the fact that they let Roy Mustang be complicit in genocide.

Mustang is an Atoner figure. Something that plagues Atoner figures is when writers are too precious about the characters we're meant to like to actually let them be guilty of something serious.

The Atoner might be trying to make amends for their involvement in the Great '87 Hotel Massacre, and then three seasons in you find out what happened. And it's like, "I drove a taxi to the hotel, and the KILLER was in it! I ferried the killer to the hotel! That makes me responsible, and now I must atone for being nearby while the killings took place! And also vanquish the real killer who is the villain for this season."

Or maybe the Atoner did do the killings but they were under mind control the whole time and would never, ever have done it in their right mind.

But FMA said no. Mustang, Hawkeye, Hughes, even Armstrong to an extent though he suffered a breakdown and fled during it. They did that shit. They followed their orders and they did that shit. And it haunts them.

Roy did that shit. And his atonement, his grand ambition, is to see everyone responsible for that shit brought to justice for their crimes. Including himself.

That is how you write an atonement plot.

trans poc, please i beg of you get transition inspo of people with your ethnicity

i was incredibly dysphoric about my round face and softer features until i started looking at the faces of hispanic men and realized that those features weren’t feminine at all, they were ethnic features white supremacy had conditioned me to see as less masculine

your ethnic features are beautiful, and you do not need to look european to look masculine or feminine

It is actually really funny when people see my scalp tattoo and instantly perceive me as this big tough badass.

It's flowers and mushrooms. There is a big daffodil on my head. But people don't take that in at first, they just see "scalp tattoo" and go, "oh shit, hardcore."

When I got it done, there was a group of grizzled old tough-guy bikers in the front room of the parlor, watching one of their guys get tattooed. They all crowded around me to ooh and ahh and clap me on the back when they saw me come out of the back room with new scalp ink. Huge dudes, all thrilled to pieces, so excited to complement me on my flowers. It was so endearing. One of them even showed me a rose he'd gotten to honor his mom.

i am once again reminding y'all that agab is literally just a letter a doctor wrote down on a fancy piece of paper when you were 2 seconds old. it does not dictate your gender or hormones or gender or physical appearance or chromosomes or anything. it is a Letter On A Paper. there is no such thing as "an afab" or "an amab". there is no such thing as "afab genitals" or "amab genitals". Stop it.

it pains me to say it but the more people talk shit about the women who wear those shorts/leggings with the weird butt seam that looks like it gives you a terminal wedgie, the more compelled I feel to take the women’s side

[json-derulo]

ohhhhhh my godddddddd you saw someone wearing really tight revealing pants in public? should we throw a party? should we invite goody proctor

[json-derulo]

and while we’re at it, I’m done worrying about cameltoe. I don’t have time to be pulling and tugging at my clothes all day. if you can see the outline of my pussy you should say thank you and go about your business

The first time I saw a post making fun of them was the first time I learned about them and I bought a pair on the spot cuz my ass is hot af.

[cipheramnesia]

Thank you everyone for your support, they make lovely bike shorts for when I'm in a skirt or a dress and my partners claim the added butt bumpin' effect is even more of a good thing.
