The Brighter Side of Life

A bunch of random stuff from The Duckman. SCP admin, Renaissance Performer, trying to be a good person. Sometimes nsfw. I dont tag, for my own mental health. Always queer, and gender chaotic. (non-binary, they/them) I'm just me. If you like my work, feel free to buy me something!  http://a.co/eF1ExSn I sometimes forget this matters, I'm 37.

How do you feel about TJ’s containment procedures?

Well, I wrote em.

[iamnotadamnedmonkey]

is the relation of 321 to the Bright family kept a secret even from some of them? or does everyone just avoid addressing it?

Everyone in the family knows it. And well... they also know theres nothing to be done.

[iamnotadamnedmonkey]

What pronouns does bright use?

They them, or he him but answers to the pronouns of the body they're in.

How does Jack feel about TJ’s containment procedures? Has he ever tried to sneak something for TJ?

Jack wrote the containment procedure.

And yeh, he does.

There is a Pope in the Cars universe. This means that there is Catholic Christianity, which means there was a Jesus car who was crucified. Jesus Chrysler was crucified by car Romans under Pontiac Pilot who washed his wheels. A car was nailed to a cross and ascended to Heaven.

Every time I see this “Jesus Chrysler” sends me into a blind rage so my eyes skip over “Pontiac Pilot” until the second take and I feel like a semi just backed up over my lifeless corpse

Let transmasculine people exist and access whatever aspect of transition they’d like, without telling them they have dirty man cooties and are magically not oppressed anymore because something something male privilege.

The way people treat trans guys under some pathetic “but men suck” defense is horrific tbqh. I’ve lost count of how many trans guys I know who either haven’t come out publicly or delayed coming out for years because they HATED themselves so much for wanting to be gross icky men. Most of them have been or are still actively suicidal. Every single one of them struggles to unpack and overcome the feeling that they’re “betraying” people by coming out as men.

It has also bled over to affect nonbinary people who present masculine at all, because y’all think they’re “too masculine” to be nonbinary, and treat them to exactly the same garbage.

Masculinity is not inherently toxic, men occupy numerous spheres of oppression that deserve compassion and support, and I’m tired of watching trans men and nonbinary people suffer because y’all can’t wrap your heads around the idea that not all men have the same level of privilege.

I know your first impulse is to despair. To say we’re fucked. To feel desperate and hopeless. I feel it. We all feel it.

But Notorious RBG would not have wanted us to lie down and accept defeat.

She’d have wanted us to fight like hell. And that’s what we’re going to do. 

Call your house rep: Find them by Zipcode

Script: “Hi, my name is ____ I am one of your constituents. I am calling to ask Congressperson ______ to go on the record saying they will respect Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wishes as well as the precedent set in 2016 to not nominate a new Justice until after a new president is installed. Thanks for your time.” Call your senator:  [phone] Capitol Switchboard Don’t know who your senator is? Find your senator

 Script: “Hi, my name is ________ and I live in (STATE). I am calling to ask Senator ______ to go on the record saying the Senate will not hold hearings on any potential replacement for Justice Ginsburg until after a new president is installed, per Justice Ginsburg’s last wishes and the precedent set in 2016. Thank you for your time.”

The ole run around

[theconcealedweapon]

You’re able to call your parents “Mom” and “Dad”. They were not born with those names.

You’re able to call your teachers “Mr” or “Mrs” and their last name. You’d get in trouble if you addressed them by first name.

You’re able to call a celebrity by their chosen stage name.

You’re able to call your friends a shortened version of their name, their middle name instead of their first, or a completely random nickname.

You’re able to call a married woman by her husband’s last name, even though she was not born with that last name.

But when someone’s transgender, how does calling them by a name they were not born with somehow become a hassle?

[whatbigotspost]

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate Mitch McConnell??

[whatbigotspost]

I speak quite a bit about the issues w/ the 2 party system and abolishing the Electoral College, but let me also note, the Senate has to go too. It’s nonsensical to have someone who represents like half of Kentucky’s 4.5M population holding so much sway and power in this situation and an equal vote to a senator from CA (39.5M) or NY (19.5M) or even my senators in TX(29M) [although on this topic they agree.]

Keep those numbers in mind. 20-40 MILLION.

These people all have equal voting power to their colleagues from states with populations of 20+ million.

This is how it was designed. That’s part of the problem. Our structures are rigged. It’s exhausting.

If Jack is 963 and Sarah is 321, why isn’t TJ 642?

Because sarah was written after the other 2

[iamnotadamnedmonkey]

Does jack ever get startled when walking past mirrors and not seeing the previous body after he switches to a new one? Does it ever mess with his sense or identity?

Oh yes, all the time.

[iamnotadamnedmonkey]

I saw this headcanon where Bright tends to get possessive of D-Class who share some of his original body’s features (ex: same nose, same hair, etc) and does everything he can to get them. I wanna know your thoughts on it

It's a neat idea, but not one I cotton to. Bright literally needs to look at photographs to remember what his original body looked like. He enjoys being different trying new bodies, because they each interpret things differently.

liking penises is a thing that lesbians are allowed to do… lol.. its wild that i see people who are so adamant about hating terfs turn around and rb posts about how if you’re a lesbian you can’t have any desire whatsoever to fuck anyone with a penis

sex and gender are so fluid and unknowable until its time to be transmisogynistic i guess?

yea i love pussy and i also love dick im not gonna pretend i dont. you know what kind of pussy i like? the kind attached to girls. you know what kind of penis i like? the kind attached to girls. i am attracted to human bodies that women possess. some of em have dicks, some of em dont. its a great time either way

im sorry for talking so bluntly about this but its absolutely unacceptable to let people who think they’re inclusive and open to equate lesbianism to strictly liking vaginas, when there are tons of women, tons of other lesbians, who do not have one and are still women and still lesbians! and the people who have sex with them can still be lesbians too.

if youre a terf dont bother replying i will just block you and if you’re not a lesbian i dont wanna hear a peep either. nothing you say will ever make me change my mind about this. i especially dont wanna hear about any “bi lesbian” bulshit so dont even let the thought cross your tiny mind

The average middle-class American isn’t the same thing as Jeff Bezos, but as someone who has been consistently shit on by average middle-class Americans, I feel like it’s disingenuous to tell people living in poverty not to be angry at the middle class, too.

More often than not, the middle class is shitting on us as hard as they possibly can, because they’re terrified that if they don’t, they’ll end up just like us.

Being constantly treated like crap by the middle class, and then derisively told that we shouldn’t hate the middle class when the real problem is billionaires, is…frustrating. It’s really hard for me to look at the well-off doctors in the rich-people subdivision down the road, who treat the rest of us like garbage and call the cops on my neighborhood constantly, and not hate them.

And I just wish more people talked about the consistent day-to-day trauma of being harassed and mistreated by the people a step above you on the ladder, because they think if they kiss capitalism’s ass and help keep the dirty poors in line, they’ll be offered the chance to climb up another tax bracket.

They’re not the same as Bezos, but they’re not exempt from criticism and anger and hatred just because they’re not at the tippy top of the food chain.

Idk, man, but “if you have any money at all, fuck you” is a pretty reasonable emotion for someone to have when they have to swallow their pride and beg strangers for money to eat. It’s grounded in trauma, desperation, and the day-to-day reality of being treated like shit.

Is it the most productive thing? Is it the most ideologically pure thing? Maybe not, but it helps a lot of people cope with the active trauma of being treated like an expendable piece of trash by people who may not technically be “rich” but still have enough money to have systemic power over them.

If I can say “fuck cis people” because I’m trans, and “fuck straight people” because I’m queer, and “fuck abled people” because I’m disabled, I feel like I should be allowed to say “fuck people with more money than me, I’m tired of this shit and they don’t have any goddamn idea what it’s like to live in this hell” when I live in abject poverty.
