jaytim where tim gets hurt so jason tries his hand at the looming possessive scary boyfriend act, which he never had to do with artemis or the metas he’s dated but figures that’s probably his role now, and tim instantly kills it by bursting out laughing so hard and long he gets the hiccups and almost walks right off the roof.

[cassarchy]

jason’s attempt was sm like touching his injury and then a pause then a very determined “i’ll find those guys who did this to you. i’ll make them regret it.” to which tim absolutely loses his shittttttt because oh my GOD are we in a steamy romance novel marketed to middle aged women jason be fucking serious PLEASE. obviously oracle is already handling it

[cassarchy]

the problem is that people tend to love in the way they want to be loved, at least until they know their partner better. and jason really has only ever wanted someone who would be vengeful and possessive and willing to let their care for him transcend ordinary moral boundaries.

so that’s how he acts towards his partner on the occasion it finally feels possible and warranted, and unfortunately this lands with net 0 impact because to tim that like irrational vengefulness is just how jason behaves all the time anyway except now it’s like being expressed through slightly cheesier dialogue.

there's something really funny about someone *posting a video online* which is obviously meant to be seen and get attention calling a street performer and someone interacting with them performative. chronically online internalized panopticon behavior on their part tbh, also being a performative hater themselves.

LITERALLYYYY and even funnier the guy carrying the sousaphone wasn't even (as far as i could tell) a street performer (or at the very least was not performing on the train or anything) he was literally just sitting there with an instrument. there was exactly 1 person being performative in that situation and it was the tiktok guy

[houndmother]

deriding things as performative is anti third space

[houndmother]

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

[houndmother]

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.

its so weird to me that cis people will dislike their name so ardently and yet. not change it. you guys know that’s an option, right. no one can make you keep the shit name your mom gave you. no, not even her.

One of my friends in undergrad changed his name because he didn’t want to bear the name of his abusive and absent father. It’s been years since he did it, and he still says that it was the single best decision of his life.

One of my friends in high school changed his named as soon as he turned 18, so that the ethnic name his family gave him was finally the name reflected on all of his paperwork. He told me that he understood why his parents had given him an “English” name, but that he felt that if he needed to assimilate in order to succeed, then that was a type of success that he didn’t want.

When I was on my way home from the courthouse after changing my own name, I got into a conversation with my rideshare driver, who was extremely interested once I told him what I was in court for, and wanted to know how I’d done it, how much it cost, was it difficult, etc. It turned out that his girlfriend had chosen the name “Yo-yo” when she came to the United States, unaware of how rare that was as a name, and that she was frequently made fun of because of it. Neither one of them had realized that a name change was so easy, and he told me he was excited to let her know that she had options.

There was an intern at a summer job I had once, who changed her name to be the same name, but a different spelling. She said that she had no idea why her parents had spelled her name so oddly to begin with, and suspected that it was just an honest mistake either by them or by some nurse, but it had been a headache for her entire life, and it was a huge relief to not need to be correcting people’s spelling on important documents anymore.

One of my exes legally changed his name to have an exclamation point, because he liked to sign his name with an exclamation point.

You can always change your name if you don’t like it. You always have that option. It doesn’t matter why – it can be conformist or anti-assimilationist, serious or silly, a minor change or a major change. Your name is yours, and you have every right to change it to be whatever you want.
