i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33
getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes
one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."
My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust I’ve ever seen in anyone’s eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.
For the people in the notes going "why is Boston like this": a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don't need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish
also the Italians. mixing Irish and Italian sociocultural attitudes had the effect of multiplying the Sass Levels by the power of infinity, in the sense that you get all of the clever dry wit of the Irish and all of the bitchy gossipy condensation of the Italians rolled into one very stereotypically overly-friendly American package.
also worth noting that who you are to them doesn’t matter. they’ll talk to strangers like that and will also talk to their best friends like that. they’re just Like That.
What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?
Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.
Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
Leshy in a dress for @laserbobcat with the butterfly that resulted in the very creation of leshycat. You could say it is the butterfly effect... hehehe. Ok.
I tried to capture your built like a mountain design of Leshy. I hope you approve. ( ;´ ᗜ `;)
I have some thoughts about our boy Howard that I've been wanting to share. Specifically something in relation to him and his mother that, as of now, I haven't seen anyone point out. Shall we?
So, how many of you saw Howard for the first time, out of context, and thought he was a woman? I guarantee its at least a few. He has a very feminine disposition, admittedly, in comparison to Phillip, and the few other male characters seen in game.
And I noticed that, and I didn't think anything of it at first. And then I saw Howards mom for the first time.
And then, once I got past the rightful concern, I went back and looked again. And I thought-
"Huh. Howard actually looks a lot like his mom."
Like. Maybe it's just the art style. But when you put them next to each other-
Outside of a slight difference in eyelash placement and haircut, he's the spitting image of his mother.
Which i thought was cool! I still think so. But then I got to this one little bit of mirror dialouge.
And that got the gears in my brain turning.
Theoretically, it could be because of the mirror using his face to spook him. But this seems like such a sincere line from him, it feels like something he's been struggling with. I feel like he'd be more freaked out about it if it was just because of the mirror being creepy.
And then I thought, "What if the reason he doesn't like mirrors, or his own face, is because all he can see is his own mother staring back at him?"
I don't know, this bits just been eating away at me.
This version of the progress flag legitimately looks so nice
Gilbert baker rainbow, huge intersex circle, the design is cluttered but in a good way 10/10
[ID: A version of the progress pride flag with a large purple intersex ring outlined in gold, looping through pink, blue, brown, and black chevrons on the side, which have a base of white. The horizontal stripes are: pink, red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, and purple. End ID.]
