SIMPLE GUIDE:

Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life. EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc

Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe. EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc

NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person. *AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.

"Masculine things are the default and feminine things are Gendered. Like how pants are for everyone but skirts are For Girls" - I understand the point you're making but do you think pants have always been for everyone? Why are you pretending historical feminist wins don't exist? That they were originally considered masculine is not why they're for everyone today. The patriarchy didn't decide that for us because it likes boy things more. It was forced to accept it and it was a hard fight.

[queerautism]

@modestilly I think it's a clear case of putting theory ahead of people's actual lived reality. If your theory says "masculinity is always rewarded", then it's an easy assumption to make. But it doesn't actually correspond to reality. Many, many women are barely allowed to have short hair without ridiculous backlash. The pressure on women (and all other people forcibly classed as women in our society) to avoid anything that even remotely makes them be perceived as masculine is EXTREMELY strong.

Despite what some people on tumblr seem to believe, recognising this reality isn't equal to saying 'Feminine men don't have it so bad'. Obviously the pressure on men (and all other people forcibly classed as men in our society) to avoid anything that remotely makes them be perceived as feminine is EXTREMELY strong too. Because the made up system of cisheteronormative patriarchy NEEDS to punish deviations from the unnatural norms it wants to establish and perpetuate.

can you imagine tho if Eridians discovered radiation years and years after the Blip-A left

and they're just absolutely horrified because now they know why the Blip-A never returned, they sent them all to die, now to save their sun they have to redo the entire program all over again and Adrian is devastated -

and then three Eridian years later Rocky shows up with his pet alien and a ton of taumeoba all I LIVED BITCH

I'm sorry but vaccines are so fucking cool. You're telling me that I just need to drop by my doctor, feel a pinprick, maaaybe feel a bit off for a day and then I have statistically significant, incredible chances of either completely avoiding getting a certain illness or at the very least have a pretty string guarantee my body will kick its ass swiftly??? Fucking magic potion.

Simons being absolutely crushed between a buff stick and a rock.

But it's exactly where he wants to be.

unfortunately this whole "sit and be bored so your brain can have a minute to process the shit you've been leaving in the background" thing means I periodically get slapped with closure on old wounds and I know it's good and necessary but damn this shit sucks!!!

[godbirdart]

my brain: hey maybe [insert mental health thing] was actually caused by [insert miserable event]

me just trying to just enjoy my five minutes of peace and quiet: thank you!! hate it!!

It’s so funny how like. Spock is queer bc of the subtext, the Otherness inextricable from his character, meanwhile William Shatner was handed the straightest man of all time on paper and fumbled the bag bc he couldn’t stop giving Leonard Nimoy fuck-me eyes and now he lives in a bi Kirk hell of his own devising, forever enduring the conshatquences of his shactions

people are like you just need to apply to 10 jobs a day meanwhile each of the jobs want you to write them 1500 words of uniquely tailored sycophancy & then manually input your cv into their custom application form 3 different times

I was doing some studies of cats a few months back. I found drawing these hairless breeds are very helpful for understanding the construction. When you layer the hair on top, it’s like magic.

yesterday i was at the woodworking store getting a knife sharpener because i've been really into whittling hair sticks out of hardwoods which dulls your blades like mad. and the lady who was helping me said "oh yeah i know the feeling of jumping into a project that turns out more complex, that's how i feel about my cable knit right now"

which in turn activated my sleeper autist, and we ended up talking about fiber arts, where i learned that this woman is part of the local lacemaker's guild and uses her woodworking experience to carve lace bobbins on the lathe. she then gave me the email address of the woman who runs it, because their group has no social media and only meets when the lead lady says 'everyone come to my house.'

while all of this was going on, another woman walks up. her partner was shopping for wood repair stuff and she heard us talking about fiber- she's a spinner who does historical reenactments nearby. period accurate, processes the wool herself. of course i ask her if they need volunteers and she gives me her contact info

long story short. autism is everywhere you look and you have to be okay with chatting with strangers. i don't remember where this post was going
