Graphic Designer and Nerd

My name is Jem. I am 28. I go by xey/them pronouns. I post about and reblog memes, video games, movies, tv shows, and social justice. I used to have a donate button but I think it's gone after I changed my theme. I will put that back up as soon as I can.

Anyone else wonder if that eye doctor ever knew how much existential angst his billboard caused?

My top three feminist exploitations of male-default language: 1. “Valar morghulis. All men must die.” “Yes, but we are not men.” - Daenerys, Game of Thrones 2. “No man can kill me!” “I am no man!!!!” - Eowyn, LotR: Return of the King 3. “God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.” “Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth.” - Dr. Ellie Sattler, Jurassic Park

Every single celebrity is just some guy. They burp, fart, shit, and piss just like the rest of us. Please remind yourself of this constantly.

“They don’t trust trans people to start hormones at the same time as their non-trans peers” is such a good way to put it omg

listen up and listen good. liminal spaces facilitate change. they’re the only place where one is truly free because when you stand inside one you are unburdened by the weight of the future and the anchor of the past. only inside a liminal space can you ever achieve true happiness.

[jemthecrystalgem]

Is this why I like liminal spaces so much? I’ve always been kind of mad that they became the new ooh spooky horror setting (ever since The Backrooms became mainstream) because to me most liminal spaces are peaceful, maybe a bit eerie, but mostly ethereal. It’s like being awake at 2 am, everything is quiet and you’re not under societal obligation. You can genuinely relax, because nobody expects anything of you for once… But when you make that a permanent setting, it’s not liminal anymore, it’s manifest. It stops being relaxing, or calm, or peaceful. Even without any horror elements, a liminal space isn’t meant to be a permanent location or setting. That’s literally why it’s a liminal space! Once you make a single liminal space the permanent setting for an overarching narrative it ceases to be a liminal space. It is just a space.

I hate how people are calling rapunzel the queen of self isolation when Elsa literally has a song where she says “a kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen” and actually self isolated whereas rapunzel was kidnapped and not allowed to be around people and conditioned to think that people will try to hurt her for her magic hair

[syntax-forest]

Elsa’s the queen of self isolating but Rapunzel’s the queen of actually functioning during isolation; Elsa’s ice palace doesn’t even have furniture what was she planning to do.

[dangerousducky]

she’s trying her best
