this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.

[voidsetup1]

and out of the darkness - you you you you you

[jaypilled]

are those my only options

[hxneyfarm]

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

"backstage at a live event" is perhaps my favourite human collective emotion ive ever experienced. From running through the creepy empty school hallways before a theatre show, to the staff only breakroom at a convention or event where youre running a stall, to the bridal suite getting ready before your bestie walks down the isle.

Theres a little wall between the guys who are 'in on it' with you, whatever it is, and your audience or customers or guests or just all those people who are *not* in on it. Youve got a wallkie talkie, or a backstage pass, or an exhibitor badge, and youve never felt more alive

I want you to know this is my favourite post to have ever put out there. Every day I get to wake up and read people's tags. From middle school shows to Broadway green rooms. Weddings and Cons and livestreams and talent shows. I love reading everyone's little things that this post reminded them of.

Once when i was off stage during a high school play, our stage manager and I were laying on the ground and trying to cool off while she told (whispered) to me all the different curtains and all they did. And I just laid there and nodded along because I was all miced up and couldn’t speak.

kinda funny that steve rogers, a chronically ill son of first gen immigrants, was raised by a single mom in brooklyn into an anti fascist progressive man who stood up everyday against oppressors. and that cap 2 was about an AI surveillance state & how easily the government could be corrupted/compromised. and that cap 3 was about accords that would strip enhanced individuals of their autonomy and turn them into pawns/breathing weapons & a tortured POW who was villainized. and how in infinity war steve rogers had become a world wide fugitive doing what he thought was right even if it wasn’t legal.

and then endgame said well on that note, we’re sending him back in time to 1950s (the decade epitomes w trad values and when there was still segregation) and he wouldn’t do anything about social issues or hydra or his best friend being brainwashed bc he deserved to rest <3

I'm glad you remembered me.

i'm always thinking about Solanum and the Hatchling "growing up together" despite being separated by time. the way the Hatchling grows up enamoured by Nomai language and culture and they are able to understand it through tracking Solanum as she grows up and learns the language and culture herself. the way they're both caught in a state of undeath on the cusp of adulthood. and despite the barriers of time and language, Solanum is at the campfire along with all the other astronauts that the Hatchling has known for their entire life.

i've long headcanoned that the Hatchling plays a cello (because of the cello part in 14.3 Billion Years and Morning on the soundtrack), though the instrument i've drawn them with here is designed after a bowed mountain dulcimer. it's more their size!

also, the pen i drew Solanum with in the first piece is mostly because i wanted to draw her in that pose, although having thought about it, it makes sense that kids would be given a more kid-sized version of the staff technology in a way that makes them practice their writing (rather than the keyboard on the staff's tablet) so i stand by it. also also, Solanum's warmer clothes and thicker fur on Brittle Hollow are because of the colder climate!

IDs (copied from alt) below the cut

1: A digital drawing of the Hatchling and Solanum from Outer Wilds as children in the Sunless City of Ember Twin. Solanum is on the right and slightly in front, writing on the floor while lying on her belly. The Hatchling is crouched on the left, smiling in wonder and reaching out to touch the Nomai words on the floor. Overlaid text in swirly handwriting reads: "We do not have much connection, you and I."

2: A digital drawing of the Hatchling and Solanum as adolescents at school in the Hanging City of Brittle Hollow. They are both sitting at desks in the classroom. The Hatchling is tinkering with their Nomai translator, but leaning over to Solanum to look at what she's doing. Solanum is writing on her tablet with her third eye looking towards the front of the classroom. Overlaid text reads: "Still, this encounter feels special."

3: A digital drawing of the Hatchling and Solanum on the Quantum Moon at the sixth location. They are both wearing their spacesuits outside the tower shrine, and the Hatchling has a map of the solar system out. Solanum is pointing to something on the map. Overlaid text reads: "I hope you won't mind"

4: A digital drawing of the Hatchling and Solanum at the campfire in the Eye of the Universe, without their spacesuits. They are leaning into each others' shoulders and smiling as they play their instruments. The Hatchling is playing a bowed mountain dulcimer with accents that look like Nomai writing. Solanum is playing her staff's tablet like a MIDI grid. Overlaid text reads: "if I think of you a friend."

You have to let people love you. You have to let people get to know you. You have to let people help you. Being so completely selfless that you try to erase yourself off the face of the planet and never ask for anything and reject everybody's offers of support makes you very hard to love! Unfortunately. Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.

I really like simple but heartbreaking lines. "I'm tired." "I want to go home." "I'm just... sad."

[questionablyfictional]

"I want my mom." (bonus points if character doesn't have parents or a good relationship with their mum)

[spirit-whump]

"I want my mom" GUARANTEED to destroy me.
