Hi! I'm Marsh, resident artist, gamer, and youtuber. I love drawing comics, and I'm vehemently against harassment and censorship. I'm also a recovering ex-mormon, and I'm very passionate about manipulation and how cults gain and keep members.

If your DNI is a mile long, then assume I'm on it and block me.

I'm a huge fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, 3D Mario games and Luigi's Mansion, Undertale, Hollow Knight, The Henry Stickmin Collection, TES Oblivion, Professor Layton, Chibi-Robo, and MySims. I also really like Sailor Moon, Steven Universe, Danny Phantom, The Amazing World of Gumball, and anything to do with vocaloids. My favorite music often comes from Unlike Pluto, Starset, Feint, TheFatRat, VocaCircus, and Gunship. Also, I love pastel aesthetics.

My favorite movie is WALL-E, my favorite band is Owl City, and my favorite show right now is Helluva Boss. My favorite place on earth is Puget Sound. I’d live in the sea if that were possible.

HATE when you can't stand someone who is literally harmless. Like oh I'm the bitch here. I'm 100% in the wrong but nonetheless fuuuccckkk this guy

The average straight monogamous person will expect their partner to never talk to half the world population ever again out of jealousy then turn around and genuinely ask you to specify "ethical polyamory" because otherwise they can't help but assume the worst

[cheacegirl]

Happy pride to the post that turns the average Tumblr user into a pearl clutching conservative

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

one genre of fanfiction that seems to have mostly disappeared since i became an adult is shenanigans-type fics. like not exactly crack but just "the gang goes to 7-11" type, extremely low-stakes plot stories. the beach episodes of fanfiction. i just feel like i don't see those around so much anymore. whered they go. i miss them :(

[quix5gg]

happy pride month especially to them

[richie-luna]

friendly reminder that jughead jones is canonically aro/ace 

happy pride month, everyone :) 

[honeyorgurt-deactivated20180921]

this is literally all coded talk for him being gay but yeah anyway

[richie-luna]

ah yes because “i don’t go on dates”, “i don’t want to kiss PEOPLE”, and “i don’t get crushes” is gay coding sure lmao

[edgebug]

yeah using the word asexual to describe a character is Obviously gay coding

[ruyeka]

Yeah because an openly gay character telling Jughead he doesn’t get his dilemma about finding other gay men to date is SO gay coding 

[notoriginalenoughtohavmyprefname]

gay guy: you don’t get [my dating problem] because you’re asexual

[butterfly pidgeon meme, “Is this gay coding?”]

[the-haiku-bot]

gay guy: you don’t get

[my dating problem] because

you’re asexual

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[marshemillow]

"It's a friendship crush if anything." so Jughead canonically gets squishes and people still jumped to gay and not aroace? That sure is interesting.

I have cochlear implants and I can only buy parts to fix them or upgrade then from 1 corporation bc of tech exclusivity. upgrades to get new processors for both ears cost $23k & insurance only covers 90% (and it’s “good” insurance)

Remember, folks;

One person who's basically human and one person who's literally human have a Sleeping Beauty moment where they use a kiss to bring someone back to life, a kiss so quick and so chaste that even mormons would approve of it.

Meanwhile, a literal actual animal marries a human and has two kids with her and they've now been married for ten years.

One of these is disgusting beastiality and the other one is perfectly acceptable, and if you didn't already know what I was talking about, you would never fucking believe me when I told you which was which.

[marshemillow]

I seriously can't get over this. Let's just get one thing straight, okay? Sonic is not a literal animal. Yes, he's a fictional character, but what I mean is that even in-universe, he's not meant to read as a literal animal. I have never once read Sonic as a literal animal. He is basically human. If he was just a couple years older, he would EASILY be able to pass the Harkness test. You hear me? SONIC IS NOT A LITERAL ANIMAL. I can't BELIEVE I feel like I have to say that. In other news, water is wet.

Like, Sonic's official age is 15. Real hedgehogs die of old age by 3. You are invoking the hamster from The Amazing World of Gumball who made it to 6 years old, which would be like a human living to 200. Sonic is supposed to read as a human teenager, not an extremely elderly literal hedgehog. He wears sneakers and walks on two legs, he eats human food like chilidogs, he can speak in full sentances, and on top of all of that, he's a cartoon character who's electric blue like fucking Gatorade. He is supposed to read as a sapient human-like cartoon character!!! Sonic does not read as a literal animal in any sense!!!

You know who DOES read as a literal animal to me though??? FUCKING OCTODAD!!! Octodad can't even actually talk, he speaks in blubbs and we're supposed to just suspend our disbelief and pretend a literal octopus who came up out of the ocean is intelligent enough to be able to marry a human woman and have two kids with her!!! Even Markiplier made a joke about how Scarlet had sex with an octopus!!! And Octodad is not even a good game either!!! In fact, imho, it's WORSE because at least Sonic '06 was TRYING to be a good game!!! Pathetic attempt? Maybe, but at least it tried!!! Rage games are not designed to be good games by their very nature!!! If a rage game was good, it wouldn't be a rage game!!!

It's not just Octodad though!!! The achievement you get in HuniePop for unlocking Momo as a datable girl is literally called, "Bestiality" despite the fact that Momo does not read as a real cat in any sense of the word. She did have a controversy, but it was entirely because people weren't sure if she was 18 or not. It had nothing to do with Momo being a literal non-human animal, because that conclusion is OBVIOUSLY ABSURD!!!

And what about that game where you can fuck A LITERAL BEAR??? (Baulder's Gate 3, I think??) A druid shapeshifted into a bear granted, but a bear nonetheless!!! I've seen screenshots and it sure looks like a literal bear to me!!!

So it's okay to fuck a bear that's actually a human, but it's NOT okay to kiss a hedgehog that's actually a human??? I swear to god the people who reviewed Sonic '06 back when it was new are the dumbest motherfuckers alive. Like??? I'd be ASHAMED to admit I was that much of a moron!!!

Like, it's bad enough to put that shit into a public youtube video that anyone could watch back in 2006 before the concept of a "Youtuber" was even a thing and every video was guarenteed to get a lot of views, but to put that shit in an ACTUAL FORMAL REVIEW FOR A REAL VIDEO GAME??? I have seriously had chronic secondhand embarrassment for like two days in a row now since I found out people actually criticized Sonic '06, A GAME MADE FOR KIDS, for having ""bestiality"" in it. USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN, PEOPLE!!! YOU HAVE ONE SUPPOSEDLY??? USE IT!!! A KID'S GAME COULD NOT HAVE BESTIALITY IN IT FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!! IT WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A MUCH HIGHER RATING IF IT HAD!!!

"A Sleeping Beauty kiss that literally brought a dead character back to life is bestiality." —Something people actually said with their full chests because I guess you can do whatever you want as long as you aren't Sonic. Call it weird and awkward, call it forced, call it badly written, but do NOT call it bestiality. An actual animal has to be involved for it to be bestiality, and you'd have to be totally braindead to think any real hedgehog could ever look or act like THAT.

Where's the fucking rum when you need it...

[selfshipquotes]

S/I: Could you please stop teasing me?

F/O: But then I wouldn’t get to see your sweet little flustered expressions~

[bruhs-selfshiphell]

Imagine your F/O climbing on your lap and just beginning to cuddle with you because they're tired. They yawn and rest their head on your shoulder and nuzzle onto you as you wrapped your arms around them and feel a little sleepy yourself. You both just stay there, having a quiet moment together.

[aizawashuichi]

the thing is, i feel like sometimes self-shippers don't fully embrace the idea of a character being in love with them. instead, the character looks like they are pretending to be in love, like unwillingly putting on this role on the side, as they continue their own life as their canon self, you know what I mean? you need to be more self-indulgent. you have to disrupt their in-character persona in some way, because love is now present and it alters things and people. someone who is in love with you, as aloof and emotionless as they may seem, will care for you and will change if necessary. they will do things for you that they wouldn't normally do for others or even for themselves, because you are not just a random dude showing up next to them. you are their person.

[estrogirlie]

call-out post for my 5 year old cousin:

i just caught her “playing pretend” with her hot wheels and simulating high speed car crashes. not only is this disrespectful to people who have died or been injured in a car crash, but it also likely indicates that she will go on to intentionally cause car crashes in the future. please everyone reach out to her friends, extended family, and possible future employers to let them know she’s an irredeemable monster and is contributing to real world harm!

Ooh also, I forgot I made this meme to celebrate the release of Silksong;

[marshemillow]

the face that a lot of forced birthers are also women makes it extremely damning. shouldnt they, of all people, know what being controlled and not having your body fully belong to you sometimes if not most of the time feels like????

I have actually found statistics before that claim you're more likely to be pro-choice if you've been pregnant and given birth before, which at least to me makes perfect sense, but the fact that there is still a sizable number of women who are pro-forced-birth who have even been through that before is just so baffling to me.

And of course, it's even worse when they say things like, "Well if you didn't want to get pregnant, then why didn't you just not have sex?" as if rape doesn't exist and as if abortion is never done to save the parent's life because the fetus is already dead anyway and as if abortion is never done to save the BABY'S life in the NICU, but whatever. If these idiots had access to logic, they wouldn't be pro-forced-birth.

It is honestly terrifying to me how many women are blatantly misogynistic. Like holy fuck.

[marshemillow]

antis' refusal to listen to proshippers reminds me of trump supporters who refuse o listen to evidence that's he's corrupt or antivaxxers who refuse to listen to evidence that their choice not to vax their kids seriously harmed them

What do all of those groups you mentioned have in common? That's right; They're all cults!!!

This is an extremely common trend with high control groups; They are always beyond question. If you've ever found that any amount of mild criticism or even basic questions to the group feel like a genuine threat, to your personhood or just to your worldview, then it's very possible you may be in a cult. In fact, I'd say that's one of the major warning signs of a cult.

I've brought up this favorite quote before, but it bears repeating;

"The moment you declare a set of ideas to be immune from criticism, satire, derision, or contempt, freedom of thought becomes impossible." —Salman Rushdie
