*I havent actually seen all of 911 because I was late to the party and something about the whole buck and eddie thing in these past few seasons Screams queerbaiting to me, so I'm not watching the last couple of seasons unless they're canon.
Please feel free to send me asks! Anon or not I wanna hear from y'all!
Now you are aware of me....yay!
THE MUTUAL LAWN PARTY!
Welcome to the party folks!
Here we've got:
@the-real-jack-dsaf sitting in a nice red lawn chair now drinking pink lemonade.
@aroaceblackhole is in a lovely lawn chair thats a mix of purple and yellow with some sliver accents drinking some refreshing water.
@falling-raine is in an awesome blue lawn chair drinking both coke and sprite at the same time! What a rebel!
@coppicegate is in a yellow lawn chair drinking green tea out of my fine china (a pink plastic tea set with disney princesses on it).
@divisionism-aliens is in a purple polkadotted lawn chair drinking water, sweet tea, AND lemonade all at once, how do they do it!?!
@dashoulinas-fandom-dump is sporting a sick pastel pink lawn chair and drinking orange juice.
My dear friend Michaelangelo (@mikeyemicalromance) is in a black and red striped lawn chair, drinking root beer out of a snow globe.
@zonzolik is in an amazing sunset themed lawn chair that seem to have glitter where the stars should be but, upon closer inspection, its just like that, sipping a virgin mojito with a striped straw.
@finleyforevermore has a green lawn chair and a never ending supply of juice out of one of those character cups you get from the gas station (you know the ones)
@s-3lliot has a kick-ass bugandy colored lawn chair and is drinking vitamin water using a cup shaped like the TARDIS.
@robinprinceofchaos is in a super cool forest green lawn chair with darker greens as you get up the chair to create a tree-like pattern, they have one of those 7-11 big gulp cups filled with just cherry pepsi.
I myself am sitting in an awesome Rainbow lawn chair with "happy pride" printed on it in everyone's favorite font, Comic Sans! I have a the mug i stole from denny's, filled with seemingly every drink you can imagine, and a lime green Cocktail umbrella sticking out of it. I am sipping the drink through one of those cool glasses straws.
I've still got lots of lawn chairs for my other mutuals too so just hit me up with your favorite color (or pattern) and drink of choice!
Unfriendly reminder that if you're displeased with a piece of fanfiction your courses of action are:
Read something else
Bitch PRIVATELY to friends
Write your own take on the premise (strongly recommend!)
All of the above
Under no circumstances should you try to "politely" critique the author who put the story up as a hobby. For free. Especially if the story in question is multiple years old. Ao3 is not Goodreads
you tell your average "trans ally" cis feminist that you're a trans man, and there's a nonzero chance she might hit you with the "oh, you look so convincing that I'd cover my drink around you!"
...sorry, you don't like being told you look like a rapist? but I'm being gender affirming! telling you that you look just like a real man! don't tell me you're "not all men"ing me. you're just like the rest of them. maybe you actually ARE a future rapist if my suspicion upsets you so much. you're so lucky I'm even entertaining you. man up and take it on the chin, or go back to being a girl if you're too much of a bitch for that.
(thus you leave the conversation feeling, well, it's better than being misgendered, I guess.)
Never forget when I was at a party and I told a newly out trans man that he could tell the gross cis Grindr men to fuck themselves if they were harrassing him and a trans woman stepped in to tell me off because "They might actually be closeted trans women"
Literally wanting trans men & mascs to accept transphobia, harrassment, fetishisation and bullying from cis men online on the OFF CHANCE that they could potentially be trans women.
The entitlement trans women and femmes have to center themselves in every aspect of community and constantly treat trans men and mascs like shit is actually fucking insane and I'm fucking sick of it.
[ID: a screenshot of a comic speech bubble. The black text in it reads "No matter how open-minded, socially conscious, anti-racist I think I am, I still have old learned hidden biases that I need to examine. It is my responsibility to check myself daily for my stereotypes, prejudices and, ultimately, discrimination." /ID end]
antiracism is a constant process. i was raised in a racist village and it's not easy to get rid of it. i moved away over 10 years ago but those ideas are still haunting me.
also keep in mind that shame + guilt are not conducive to growing as a person. when it comes to "checking yourself" it should be a non-judgemental process. it's not about flagellating yourself for every bad thought or trying to purify your mind of all corruption. it's only when acknowledging your own racist thoughts doesn't fill you with dread that you can really progress past the white guilt of it all.
radical self-acceptance & genuine self-critique are not opposites. they need each other. do not let obsessive-compulsive behaviors colonize your desire to grow as a person.

“Girl culture” and then it’s having periods or having breasts or having a vagina or having conformed to feminine beauty standards at some point in your life
Edit : Notifications are off on this post now, but I’ll still check up on it every now and again <3
love this but also it doesn’t apply to 911 characters tho. evan buckley is not a fragment of tim minear’s mind he comes from another place. where the good souls come from
if you told someone : "trans women are more likely to be seen as predatory and have to be careful in many interactions because their actions are likely to be seen in negative light"
and they removed the trans part and went: "no, women don't have to worry about being seen as predatory when interacting with people, either you are lying about that or you are not really a woman"
you would rightfully be pissed off
SO STOP REMOVING TRANS FROM TRANS MEN WHEN DISCUSSING ISSUES TRANS MEN FACE
"I hate how American media will just make up a European nation rather than do any research, so I'm going to get back at them by writing a story set in a fake American state" like, do you have the slightest idea how much American media is set in a geographically impossible fictional small town located in no particular state and characterised entirely by some guy from Los Angeles' collection of half-remembered stereotypes about the American Midwest? They've already got the "lazily inventing fictional parts of America" bit locked down.
No, if you want to play the Uno reverse card on American media, what you need to do isn't to make up a fake state: you specifically need to wilfully misrepresent southern California.
