hi i'm fàelim! i'm 29 and i accept almost any pronouns*. my gender is whatever Schrodinger's Cat had going on. my sexuality is ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ with a side of ✨ (sparkle emoji)

favorite gifted pronouns: voi/void, bingus**

one time my best friend called me Big Beefy Babycakes and i've been riding that high ever since.

the hyperfixations change regularly but the current rotation is: good omens, cryptids, shiny things, yarn, and why bioessentialism is Bullshit™

there is no side blog, theme, or cohesion. i'm not sorry

my notifications are off so i'll answer your ask when i see it. please keep sending them, even ask games

remember folx, i don't feed trolls and neither should you

*everyone is grounded from she/her until people can act right. if a specific pronoun will make the joke funnier/make terfs or exclus mad, go hog wild

**i don't know the correct way to use bingus as a pronoun but it was a gift and i don't return gifts

I think I've made this post before but I truly believe that a lot of trans discourse would disappear if we acknowledged that transmisogyny and transandrophobia go hand in hand and aren't necessarily strict opposites.

And I firmly believe that both can affect all trans people due to the combination of transphobia, malgendering and misgendering that we experience.

Plus allowing both terms to be used freely regardless of which way your transitioning allows more freedom for the nuances of intersex, transneutral and nonbinary individuals without pushing them into a binary or forcing them to disclose the details of their agab/transition.

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

artists fuck better because we turn sex into art, masterpieces, mattresses become canvases where we can paint our love to someone with bodies.

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

melanqueerly

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

phinarei

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.

excuse me

no pants im afraid

This was literally the Simpsons parodying "lower middle class" and they had, a stay at home mom, three kids, two cars, a two story house, two pets. They had full meals, boxed lunches, clothes that fit, one kid was a vegetarian, and homer kept them afloat with one job that was Monday to Friday, with no overtime. Every sitcom ever followed this same bone structure, because that was the life they all lived. with multiple kids.

And now that's so farfetched to even do with two working parents, multiple degrees and maybe one kid.

friend of mine recommended a video essay that's like 5 hours long about why it's currently a whole Thing for fascists to claim they only eat meat and demonize vegetables etc etc, and it's genuinely quite well researched in many places and contains some fascinating history and has made me feel very weird about my status as an adult who enjoys drinking milk. but I've not finished it and I genuinely don't know if I will because at one point the ol' "you can't say you care about animals and also eat animals" chestnut got dropped by the white vegan essayist and it put such a bad taste in my mouth that I had to leave instantly

like idk man it just feels genuinely parodic to dedicate hours to analyzing how foodways have frequently been used as white supremacist propaganda and then casually toss out an argument that pretty invariably demonizes indigenous hunting practices with 0 regard for traditional knowledge and land stewardship guiding those practices

buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
