puppygirl fails the mirror test

[butterfly-sapphic]

It should be euphoric when you get far enough in your puppy transition to no longer recognize yourself. But no. Anger. Who is that bitch. Bark bark.

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

Why @makingqueerhistory exists I think. Hey @makingqueerhistory you have anything on Māori queer history you can add to this post? Or other options for finding out more about Māori queer history? Queer history is about more than America.

crazy to me when ppl forget cas is Literally a jock. he has led multiple armies (teams) and he's mr. battle strategy (gameplays). he is thee quarterback. he is ruthless on the (battle)field. and every angel is obsessed with him either in a fangirl way or seething with jealousy. or they straight up fear him and fight flight fawn in his presence. thee only person who sees him as uwu soft dorky angel nerd is DEAN bc dean has pink heart-shaped glasses on at all times around him. and even then, he knows he's a badass soft dorky angel nerd.

happy first day of pride everyone

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

“I think the strangest feeling, as a writer, is the grief we go through,” she said.

“What do you mean?” asked her friend.

“I didn’t realize as a young artist, that I wouldn’t only feel joy when a project was done. I wish I did. It was months of work, accompanying every mundane task in thought. Writing this book was the background of my entire life.

Now- it’s written. Done. I’m happy- but I feel unmoored, with this grief taking up the space my ideas once held. I feel both freedom and fear- being lost at sea.”

[darkcomedies]

reading a “there was only one bed fic” and the characters have decided to share the bed as long as they stay on their sides. i’m really glad they figured that whole mess out and am excited to read about them staying on their sides of the bed until morning^-^

attempts at rapprochement

[byjovewhataspend]

bakudeku pretty much totally happy post canon au and baku finally admits his intense cuck fantasies (look at that dude, all he's done his entire life is listen to Izuku around corners and obsess over him from afar, hes not USED to having him UP CLOSE) and izuku agrees to 'cheat' where he can be caught, bringing random heros home, glad to get bakugou off but never getting all that into it personally, sort of the vibe of a wife that does a stripdance for her husband because he thinks its hot but she is kind of embarrassed and not skilled or confident at it

bringing aizawa home who doesnt know The Deal and its unfortunately sooo awkward. aizawa heard izuku was the Big Slut of the top 100 and somehow his vibe is still weird virgin?? after all this time???

not sure where this goes..... will think on this while im at work

[byjovewhataspend]

Perhaps 1:

Izuku who has had ‘I’ll show you how a real man does it’ whispered into his ear at least once a week for the last 8 months: gonna finally give me the good dick I’ve been craving, Aizawa-San?

Aizawa: considering that you have had every dick in Japan and still haven’t had good sex, I think you need to admit that it’s you who’s bad in bed, Midoriya

Izuku:… WHAT?

Aizawa: you’re the common denominator here

Grace, explaining how humans evolved: yeah so basically we evolved to be persistance predators where we would just slowly walk towards our prey and track it until it got so tired it couldn't fight back or run away and then we killed it :)

Rocky, who is an Eridian, an AMBUSH predator, who can't see light and so cannot track things the way humans can, and that doesn't have a lot of stamina and literally won't be able to wake up once they fall asleep: grace what the fuck statement--

[unsoundedcomic]

Is it ever a struggle to write the story you want to write vs. a story that will appeal to a wider audience? I’ve been trying to do some writing of my own and been hung up on that at times, and I imagine it’s worse if your works are also your source of income.

Yeah, it's tough, especially in a serialized medium where every single page is getting immediate and very loud responses. You can start second-guessing everything you do, wondering if you should drop unpopular characters or play up the ones that are getting a better reaction.

But don't. Cut that shit out. Because the audience is great and necessary but they're not the one that has to make the work. You MUST follow your OWN instinct and your OWN preferences because YOU are the most important person in the audience. YOU are the one that has to stay engaged with the work for it to advance. If you ignore yourself in favour of your reader, you're just going to faceplant.

I know there are writers and artists out there who are super plugged in to popular tastes and can follow them while still staying engaged - often because they have the same taste themselves. But if that ain't you, you just have to follow your own predilections and hope that a likeminded audience will come. This is definitely hard mode, but it also makes you valuable to that particular audience. Because you'll be less common. They'll find you and hang on 'cause no one else is selling what you got.

But yeah, of course, don't quit your day job :)

Sesame Street learned the lesson from their last post acknowledging JAHM and disabled comments on this one. how sad that they had to, and yet how sweet that they posted this anyway.

[chutzpahchesed]

[simnonmmnnoomnbnnmnm]

This also happened with a relatively small bookstore in my area when they made a jewish history month post. It's not just a problem with a show as big as sesame street. Antisemites are truly pathetic for saying so much shit under a kids shows' post that they had to disable the comments.

I normally tag these posts “specific ass machines” after a minor meme that blew through Tumblr, but I was tempted to tag this one “specific boob machines”.

Shavuot being a holiday where we traditionally eat tons of dairy, and ask ourselves questions like, "whose idea was this we're all lactose intolerant" and also being a celebration of Ruth, who converted, and many converts not being cursed with inherited lactose intolerance.

my sister’s bf referred to eating cheese as “mousing out” and i’m so utterly charmed by that. can we all agree to adopt that into language.

[dramaticwriter]

kaminari would be sooooo proud to be midoriya's boyfriend. he's like "yeah, that was my bf :)" "anyway my bf said..." "my BOYFRIEND actually did an analysis for this...", he's out there bragging about midoriya being his boyfriend and izuku doesn't even register it. at best he thinks kaminari is sweet bc he likes talking about him and at worst he'll start wondering if kaminari knows his name lmao. but kaminari is just sooooo happy that midoriya is his boyfriend, he just wants the whole world to know that yeah, he was able to bag THAT and that he loves him so much, he actually literally cannot keep it to himself
