I like stories where a normal human child is being raised by a sinister supernatural being who is totally malevolent except when it comes to their kid. Those are so much better than the “kids are scary” changeling type horror movies.

[byjove]

Like a perfectly well-adjusted well-mannered friendly child that is like “This is my dad, Surazal. He comes out of the mirrors in dark rooms. He makes really good blood pudding but he’s bad at playing catch. Most people can’t see his corporal form but I can because he says I have special eyes.”

[byjove]

“Mom says that you can stay over but you have to promise not to leave my room between midnight and 1 am. You can play Mario Cart with me! But you have to knock on every closed door in the house before entering just because dad might be in there and if you look upon his visage without drinking the holy fruit juice, you might go crazy or something. Also dad is really excited I have a new friend and he’s going to to make hardtack and mystery stew for us! You’ll love it!”

[byjove]

In high school the kid gets a friend that is an amateur demonologist who initially befriends them in hopes of exorcizing their house but ends up becoming buddies with Surazal too because they crave parental affection.

[byjove]

Surazal stands at the end of the vast dark hallway and says “You Too Have Special Eyes, Little One. You Can See Me Without Being Taken By The Madness. Within You, I Sense Great Turmoil And Sadness. In My Younger Years, I Would Have Exploited The Sadness As Weakness In Your Very Soul. I Would Have Worn Your Skin Like A Mask And Run Through The Village Streets, Supping Blood From Every Man I Encountered. But Now I Have No Use For Woe. Perhaps You Would Like To Watch Beetlejuice In The Family Room With My Daughter While I Prepare Cupcakes. I Am Sensing You Have A Fondness for Red Velvet.”

shoutout to the brief civil war that went down on the balatro subreddit today

[nintendont2502]

mods add a flair for AI art

user makes a post calling out that flair, and suggesting that AI art should be banned from the sub

comments are filled with people agreeing with the OP... and one (1) mod vehemently disagreeing and defending the decision to keep AI art

said mod locks the comments on the post, pins their own comment addressing the drama (which starts with "Meowdy"), and basically tells everyone to shut the hell up and that theyre keeping AI art on the sub because theres nothing wrong with it

mod makes a post on another balatro romance/nsfw sub that they mod, clarifying the rules - and casually throwing in a mention that AI art is allowed in that sub, right in the middle. everyone in the comments disagrees. the mod doesnt listen

someone makes a poll on the main subreddit asking if people want AI art to be banned. the poll is overwhelmingly in support of the ban - before its deleted by that same mod

mod makes another statement claiming that they reached out to playstack (the publishers of balatro) who said they were completely fine with and endorsed AI art on the subreddit

*localThunk* (the developer/creator of balatro) makes a post that basically goes. No we never said that. No I don't endorse AI art at all. playstack also comments on that post clarifying that they never told the mod that they endorse AI art, just that they're leaving enforcement of the sub rules up to the mods

the mod just completely made all that shit up

AI art is now banned on r/balatro

The real gold diggers are the men who expect you to take care of them, their parents, clean their house, wash and iron their clothes, give birth to their children and take care of them, manage their emotions, and on top of that, go to work and contribute 50/50 to the expenses.

Fabian Seacaster is an enigma to me, not because of who he is, but because how I feel about him. Fabian Seacaster is entitled, spoiled, self-absorbed, rich, rude, and worst of all, a teenage boy. He believes he's the coolest person in the world and deserves everything good and cool to happen to him. You're supposed to like him, but want him to be humbled, go through character growth and realise everything isn't about coolness. Yet. Yet that's not the fucking case. Every single time Fabian tries something cool I want him to succeed. I want him to win all his fights even when it's unreasonable that he should. He starts PvP with Pete fucking Conlan, the sweetest guy ever. A trans man from New York with a pet butterfly who lives with five roommates and is best friends with a goth and 60 year old, he's always dressed in a cowboy hat and fishnet shirt. And I love him. And I'm still rooting for this entitled little shit to win. He doesn't deserve to. And yet.

[fandom-frenzy]

#may I propose-#the reason that audiences root for him (despite his basis on being a pretentious popular rich kid jock)#is because his is a Cringe Fail Loser#his first ever fight he spends almost half of his turns just trying to jump onto a table#he routinely gets the shit beat out of him and is reality checked constantly (i.e. when he’s denied a spot on the bloodrush team)#but in spite of all that he’s still an overconfident dork that people WANT to root for#because dammit he’s giving it his all!!! and we want him to be cool too!!!!#he’s an underdog who doesn’t act like one#which for me I think is pretty cool because I’ve seen a lot of ‘traditional’ underdogs#whose whole personality revolves around that surface-level idea of being smaller/weaker/less skilled etc but ultimately winning#NOT FABIAN THO#no he loses all the time and remains a true Chad#he thinks he’s hot shit and he isn’t but he never stops trying to prove that he is#and I think that’s refreshing#he’s an underdog who DOESN’T ‘beat the odds’ or win something he realistically shouldn’t have#I think it really expands upon the idea of an underdog#because the whole point is that they aren’t likely to win but keep going anyway#and if that doesn’t describe Fabian Aramais Seacaster I don’t know what does#also he’s stupid and I love him<3

when i came out as trans i had an old friend from my church days message me to congratulate me and ask me for my name and pronouns. and i was shocked tbh cause he was such a head-deep-up-the-church’s ass kind of guy so i was super wary.

and after digging a little deeper i found out that he was very supportive of transness, saying that trans men are men and trans women are women

BUT

he also believed in the church’s gender roles meaning that trans women had to marry men and be submissive wives and trans men had to marry women and be strong christian husbands.

which is like ????

the weirdest and most surreal form of trans inclusive misogyny i’ve ever seen.

[smokescout]

I have a friend who was not out at his job. He didn't bind at work because he was afraid of that being the action that outed him. He worked at a small place run by a very conservative and trump loving family.

His coworkers were awful to him and treated him horribly.

Once he decided to start testosterone and started binding he told them his name, and that he was expecting people to use he/him when addressing him. Everything changed.

He suddenly had so much respect. They turned to him when things needed to be decided or fixed and asked his opinions on company based decisions. He even got a pay bump out of nowhere. They only mentioned his transition once to say "trans people are awful but that makes sense that you want to be the superior gender so it's fine."

He was livid. It breaks both of our brains to unpack it.

[jingerpi]

this is why we talk about the intersection between misogyny and transphobia btw. It's not always simply transphobia or simply misogyny, it comes in all combinations and peoples experiences are shaped transphobia and misogyny according to where they sit within the gender empire. transitioning is an act which changes both of these things and it's important to recognize and talk about our relationships to misogyny may grow or change as we do
