sometimes on the tumblr app you click on an image to see it fullscreen and it will give you a completely different image it has sourced from the fucking aether. i hope they never fix this because i got flashbanged with an image of scooby doo calling me a ‘raggot’
bringing back my too woke opinion that you should be allowed to change labels without the previous one being incorrect
i think you should be allowed to identify as trans without retroactively saying you were also trans in the past. i think the "born this way" rhetoric is limiting and you should be able say stuff like "i was fully a girl when i was a kid and now im a boy" without it invalidating your current identity but maybe that's just me
(Getting swindled by a genie) it’s like talking to a fucking tumblr user with you
the genie: how dare you say I'm fucking a tumblr user
jellyfish have to be kept in a round tank because if they're in a tank with corners they'll get stuck in them. I think that's beautiful. god's stupidest little plastic bags (affectionate)
Also when being bred in captivity(this is done at my work and my job is to teach people about it) to get them to reproduce from the polyp stage of life, we have to intentionally cause them enough stress to reproduce but not enough to harm them. Lately we’ve done that by cleaning their habitat extra well, makes them think the word is ending

I’m really disappointed to see you reblog this post. On the one hand, I agree with several of the core principles being expressed on both sides of it — I simultaneously share OP’s frustration with the negative response aroace identities often receive from fandom, and am protective of spaces that defend folk’s right to write and post whatever they want. And as an aroace-spec person, I’m even specifically protective of fic that explores aroace identity in a nuanced way that includes the ways in which it can intersect with romance and sex; I’ve found quite a bit of fulfillment in reading fic of that nature, that includes sex and romance from a perspective to which I can actually relate.
But the way this specific post equates frustration with the way in which fandoms often engage with aroace characters, and a desire to see these characters and their relationships treated with equal depth even when not engaging with romance or sex, to anti rhetoric, is BEYOND disrespectful and reductive. The final reblogs speak negatively of self-righteousness, but they’re exhibiting it themselves in cruel spades.
As an ace person myself, that was not how I read the post in question, and I apologize for causing upset: it was not my intention.
It resonated with me because, as an openly ace author, I have had people get upset with me when they thought a character they had decided was ace was about to get into a sexual situation--which is distressing both for the lack of courtesy toward another person, and because, again, as an ace person, I have gone into sexual situations willingly and as a complete human being who can decide "hey this is not so much my thing, but I'm bored/want the bragging rights."
I have also encountered the specific "someone looking for representation decided that this character would fit the bill, and then got very very angry because the character did something in canon that didn't match their ideas about them" anger, although not to the extent of death threats.
Again, truly sorry to have distressed you, our interpretations of the post do not synchronize completely.
"I’m really disappointed to see you reblog this post." oh fuck all the way off with trying to shame someone for reblogging something you didn't like. This whole ask is shitty, besides missing the point. "and am protective of spaces that defend folk’s right to write and post whatever they want." says the person literally in someone's inbox telling them not to post what they want.
The original post is a very clear "allow me to play the world's smallest violin for you" post. The second post is mocking people who don't have the skill to write a friendship or QPR. The third post is about how anyone could write any character as aroace if they weren't a coward. Fourth post is about a reader who headcanoned a character as aroace attacked and sent death threats to a fanfiction author for not writing that fictional character in a way that matched the reader's headcanon (ie, the author wrote smut about a character the attacker had decided was aroace, even though canon may or may not have agreed).
The insistence that aroace characters /cannot/ have sex, or /should not/ have sex IS anti rhetoric, whether you like it or not. There's a HUGE difference between "I don't like reading about aroace characters that do sexual or romantic things" and "no one should write [or read about] aroace characters that do sexual or romantic things BECAUSE I don't like it." and the latter IS anti rhetoric.
The insistence that aroace characters are pure because they never do romance or sex is also hugely purity culture bullshit. The insistence that they can't be written any way but pure and chaste is purity culture bullshit leaking in. And let me tell you, that road leads directly down to "ace/aro/aroace people are childlike [because of said "purity"] and so having sex with them or falling in love with them is pedophilia." I have seen that pipeline more than once, and that may sound like fucking horse shit. That's because it is.
The line in the sand comes with action. You can personally not like to read fic that does X or Y or Z with characters, and choose not to read them, and choose not to write them. You can even be frustrated that there's not enough of what you do want to read. You can be frustrated that aroace characters are not treated as full people. That's all totally fine. The problem, and the point where it crosses into being a problem, is when you demand OTHERS do or do not do something that they do not or do want to do. The person who came into someone else's inbox and sent them death threats for writing a character they decided was aroace as having sex is participating in anti behavior. That person is directly attempting to censor the author based on their beliefs about the purity of the fictional character. That's anti behavior. Antis are pro-censorship and pro-purity-culture, and attack others who aren't following their rules they made up.
Anyway, you turning up in someone's inbox to whine that they're not doing their own sexuality right by reblogging stuff you don't like is what's actually disrespectful here. Go make your own post, or reblog the one you're mad at to start a discussion there instead.
I like the idea of the Eridians figuring out telomeres and stopping Grace from aging, but I like the idea of them figuring it out by mistake even more. Like Adrian is supervising the stem cell grace-burger farms or whatever and someone is like "yeah after a while the DNA degrades we don't know what we're doing wrong" so they keep doing shit to prevent the very normal degredation and eventually they figure it out, and when they notice the same DNA degradation is in Grace's regular cells they just assume it's a complication from radiation exposure in space (since they know radiation damages DNA and that humans have mild resistance to low level radiation) so they just do the same thing they did with grace's stem cells to grace himself.
eventually they all figure out what happened and grace just groans and goes "okay, pack up the ship, we gotta go back to earth"
I love when ppl draw Grace in clothes with the aroace flag but like. do you think he Knows what it Means
I've interacted with the bloodymary fandom before watching Iron Lung and now that I've watched it I'm realising that people just be LIARS
SIMON ISNT EVEN AGGRESSIVE BRUH MAJORITY OF THE MOVIE WAS HIM TEARING UP AND BEGGING, PLEADING FOR ANYONE TO BE THERE FOR HIM !!! THEN SOME FUCK ASS VOICE STARTED MESSING WITH HIS HEAD AND THEN A FUCKING EEL ATE HIS SUBMARINE
OF COURSE HE CRASHED OUT AT THE END, WHO WOULDN'T ???
A perfectly natural heterosexual black swan couple raising their cute fluffy babies together as God intended <3
SIKE
THEY'RE GAY
And they're not some rare exception to the rule, either!!!
About 25% of black swan couples consist of two swans of the same sex (typically, two males).
These couples will court each other, build a nest, and raise their young together in a more-or-less committed monogamous relationship.
In fact, these same-sex couples have a high success rate of 80% when raising their young to adulthood, as opposed to the 30% of their heterosexual counterparts! Two big buff papa swans are better than one when it comes to stomping on invaders of nesting territory.
"But," I hear you say, "where do their baby floofballs come from? Does mpreg exist among black swans?"
Alas, no, but there is a very elegant solution to this. The swan couple may simply temporarily associate themselves with a female swan.
Afterwards, the female swan deposits their eggs and swims off free to live her single girlie life if she wishes (or, find a boyfriend. Preferably one who isn't already committed to another boyfriend.)
So whenever someone commits the naturalistic fallacy "homosexuality bad because unnatural >:(" I like to point out not only their glaring illogicality, but also, respectfully, there is homosexuality happening in the local lake right now.
This concludes my Ted Talk on gay swans.
glad he didn't overreact
Knight and a Second chance
Grace being kind of a pushover due to a combination of conflict avoidance, low self-esteem and the amount of stuff he had to put up with while working for Stratt (eg, “you live on this aircraft carrier now”).
Rocky and Grace being in some kind of meeting with the science thrum on Erid's surface (Grace in his xenonite suit), shortly after they arrive, when Rocky notices that Grace is being even more clingy than usual. Like he's constantly got at least one arm on Rocky's carapace, and has not moved away from Rocky since the meeting started. He's much stiller than he usually is— even accounting for his weakness from the malnutrition— and his light sensing organs keep rolling around in their sockets, meaning that he's anxiously scanning the room.
Rocky begins to worry. Is Grace getting sicker? Is the higher gravity having a worse impact than they thought? Or is he just nervous to be around strange Eridians? (Though he hasn't had this reaction to anyone else? Is there something up with the science Thrum??)
Rocky is like spiralling into anxiety until they have to move to a different part of the room for some reason and Grace, slowed down by the suit, briefly loses his hold on Rocky.
Immediately, he crashes into a table. And then backs into a wall. And then nearly knocks over some important Eridian science equipment. And then stands in the middle of the room, looking confused and slightly freaked out, both hands stretched out in front of him, opening and closing like he's grasping at the air.
Wait.
“Grace.”
“Yeah Rock?”
“At which point during meeting did light emitting devices in room stop working question?”
“Uh… like two minutes after we got in. Sorry, didn't want to be a bother.”
Never mind. Turns out humans are just idiots.
Hey did you see Twitch is using creator content to train genAI now? You can turn (some of) it off in security settings
