Ragebaiting my fat dog? More like master baiting my fat hog!!!!!!!!

❗️Great Hog is displeased by this.

The kingly pig looks taken aback by this statement. "You claim to be 'baiting' our kind?.. A master of it, no less - after all the trust we hsve placed in you?"

- Your relationship with the Hog Society 🐖 is now Unfavourable.

nobody warns you adulthood means craving physical contact like it's a vitamin deficiency

#In my culture they do actually! I just can't do much about it all the time lol

I’m sorry I support all jokes but cave johnson would not be supportive of trans women

Due to a recent accident in the labs, the boys downstairs have found a way to turn men into women. Amazing breakthrough, and we wish you all luck on your transition. And your job hunt. You’re all fired. Sorry boys, nothing against you. We just don’t need women around here trying to clean up the lab while the men are trying to do real work. Cave out.

#Yea see you get it. Cave is misogynistic and just generally sexist (which you could argue means the same thing)#However he is a man of science and as such he would understand enough about how things like HRT work and how gender vs sex works #to accept that people can transition but not accept women in the workplace. It's not that he wouldn't respect that you're a woman #it's that he wouldn't respect you because you're a woman. He'd not misgender you he'd just be rude about you being a woman now

Literally anyone: I hate that media never does this thing :(

Me, desperately holding onto any restraint I have left: You want Mabinogi.

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

the-punforgiven

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

the-punforgiven

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

the-punforgiven

Also there is no way ravens wouldn't figure out spells, tbh

They're smart fuckin birds, I believe in them

Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I'm sure of it

the-punforgiven

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

rathayibacter

group of wizards who ask this in-universe, and after extensive study learn to their surprise that animals are casting spells all the time, just that their magic is so fundamental as to be unrecognizable to humans. turns out the only reason acorns grow on trees is because squirrels keep wishing for them.

When a species becomes extinct humans have to figure out what kind of magic they were doing to keep the ecosystem from becoming out of balance

Birds fly because the movements from the wings are an alternate method of casting flight or feather fall, many debates have been had between ornithologically oriented mages that it is still a hot topic.

#MABINOGI LETS ANIMALS CAST MAGIC I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT MABINOGI DOES THIS I'M NOT GONNA GO OFF ON IT BUT YEA #Like both mechanically and in lore this is true #even the most basic animals like cats you get as a pet can cast magic #This includes shit like Ice Bolt and Healing but some of the more advanced animals can cast way more specific magics #Ceraunus can turn invisible and outright cast lightning wave like come on now

your favorite streamer might actually be having sex, ever think of that horrifying possibility?

#If I'm your favorite streamer boy do I have news for you.

um so quick question you do know that the world isn’t divided into People Blindly Accepting Of Gender Roles and Smart Trans Ppl. the world isn’t divided into People In Romantic Relationships and Single Aros. the world isn’t divided into People Who Socialize Easily and Oppressed Autistics. the world isn’t divided into Enlightened Queer People and Stupid Misogynists. like you are aware of this ? i hope you are aware of this

#One of my favorite things is when someone tries to hit me with the ''if you're not aware of this specific thing you're a bad person''#because I will ask them if they're aware of LITERALLY any Native issue #and they can typically tell me the whole like ''uh obvi they're oppressed because of colonialism'' answer #but they can't tell me what MMIW stands for they can't tell me anything about the domestic abuse issues or trafficking #they can't tell me about like literally half the shit going on with us; they don't even often know about blood quantum #and while I know there's gonna be people reading this with a big smirk on their face going #''lol I'm so much better than those stupid idiots because they're performative but I know things because I'm authentic!''#I need you to understand the reality is that I don't expect them to know those things; and I don't think that's bad.#If all I do is point and laugh at them; or say they're literally a bad person like they attempt to do to me #then guess what? They'll NEVER know about those issues because I had a chance to educate them and I didn't!#''but it's not your JOB to educate them! uwu''#Okay? But if I care about those things; and I do. I want to raise awareness and that means educating people who aren't aware.#No it's not my job. But I don't mind doing it if it means I can help someone be more aware of what's actually going on with us #just like how they could have chose to educate me about the issue they seemed to care about!#Except in most cases these folks don't ACTUALLY care about these issues; they're used as a ''Got ya!'' to one up someone else #they're used to be ''holier than thou'' rather than to actually amplify the voices of the oppressed and suffering.

I hate the cosmetic surgery industry for so many reasons I really do. But the line between cosmetic and medically necessary plastic surgeries is as a cloud, and we cannot sacrifice bodily autonomy for bans so. We need to dismantle white supremacy and the patriarchy in order to effectively tackle the issue. I should be able to get elective top surgery without medicalising my transness you get?

femmeharlequin-deactivated20240

I had a breast reduction when I was 16. I was so top heavy that my back had started spasming badly by the time I was 12, if I hadn’t been able to get my reduction, I would’ve been in more extreme pain for much longer. The relief was almost instant. Just one example of medically necessary plastic surgery, in case people aren’t sure what that looks like.

Medically necessary plastic surgery also includes removing excess skin when someone loses a lot of weight: skin folds can become infected. Burn victims’ skin grafts, those are plastic surgery too. The field covers a lot more than people think.

Harold Gillies, now considered to be the father of modern plastic surgery, developed most of his techniques (many of which are still in use today) specifically to reconstruct the faces of men who'd been injured in WW1.

Advances in weaponry meant that, for the first time, men were coming home from war with literally half their faces blown off, on a regular basis. This was not only traumatic— there were cases of men cancelling engagements or being afraid to see their families, because of their disfigurements— but also caused problems with every day tasks like speaking and eating, in which your face plays a pretty key role.

Gillies arranged for a whole ward, and later a hospital, to be dedicated to the treatment of these men, and took steps to ensure that all soldiers who received these kinds of injuries on the battlefield would be sent to him directly. He developed methods for applying skin grafts so that larger portions of the face could be repaired.

He continued his work treating wounded soldiers throughout WW1 and WW2, and when both wars were ended— just in case he hadn't done enough to establish himself as a full on hero— he was then approached by a medical student named Michael Dillon, a trans man, and was able to use the same techniques he'd developed to reconstruct the penises of wounded soldiers to give him a phalloplasty. The first one ever performed on a trans man. He even diagnosed the guy with a condition to explain the frequent operations, so as to avoid outing him.

Dillon later wrote a book about trans-ness, which inspired Roberta Cowell, who became the first British transwoman to get a vaginoplasty, also performed by Gillies.

In both cases, the techniques he developed were still being used in similar operations decades later. Gillies himself stated that he wanted no publicity for performing these operations, saying that "If it gives real happiness, that is the most that any surgeon or medicine can give.”

One thing that makes me kinda sad is seeing people who feel like TTRPGs just aren't for them because they bounced off of some element that is clearly just a symptom of them trying out D&D5e. Like people who have had a hard time with learning the rules would probably do well with any system where the rule formatting and play culture around learning them aren't a mess. One friend of mine didn't like waiting a long time for turns to come up in combat, not even knowing that many games don't even use a turn-based structure.

A lot of D&D5e defenders on here like to claim that asking someone to learn a new system is "gatekeeping" somehow, but I'd argue that acting like one game is emblematic of the entire medium to the exclusion of people who don't click with that one game is way more meaningfully a form of gatekeeping, even if it's fully unintentional.

I strongly believe that not all RPGs are gonna appeal to everyone, but there is an RPG out there for everyone, and I just hope that people who haven't clicked with the most common option to be introduced to can find something that works for them.

#This is reminding me of the HoloEN TTRPG Mythbreakers because yea that was an experience and I think about it a lot

dick makes people mentally ill. dick havers, dick wannabes and dick lovers are all insane. it's like toxoplasmosis, you have compulsive need to defend and push and worship dicks all the time and spead your dick mania to everywhere you go.

this seems rational and grounded in empirical evidence

#I think a lot of people get hung up on this because they see movement but don't consider how momentum actually works here #So let me return to my roots a bit and become the Tumblr Science Friend for a second to explain this.#The answer is A simply put; since you have to consider that the portal on the trolley is the thing in motion not the people on the tracks #So let's say a door comes flying at you; you would not be propelled out the other side of the door when you jump but it would look that way #because the door itself was moving around you and continued to move when you jumped but you didn't actually move at all.#The same is happening here! You see the portal (trolley) rushing towards the people and believe it's momentum will be transferred #but that's not how it works at all! In reality (kinda bad wording I know) the individuals would be simply moved through the portal as it #rushed over them. They would not be propelled because their momentum is null here. They don't have any; they are not moving.#The trolley itself would go flying off like we see in B if the trolley were to go through a portal because it has the momentum here.#There isn't even an argument to be made because having a basic understanding of portals from the respective game as well as #the basics of physics would make it very clear that the individuals in question would be no different than someone jumping while a door #was thrown at them they'd just kinda come out the other side and the trolley would pass over them.#The only way the momentum would be transferred is if there was a collision

That last post I reblogged got me thinking again about how people can’t separate their idea of manhood from violence.

It’s like some people are capable of imagining womanhood without submission but can’t imagine manhood without dominance. Like for some reason in their minds women can escape their gender norms and make a new definition of what gender is for themselves but men can’t.

what-even-is-thiss

My cishet dad has often told me that he found feminist theory to be very freeing. It told him that yes men can be gentle and caring. Yes men can be sensitive. Being a man means what you want it to mean.

I’ve met other cishet men that feel the same way. I really do like talking with cis men about gender sometimes. You really see them become a lot happier when they fully internalize the idea that being a man means whatever they want it to mean.

A “real man” is a myth.

You get told a lot as a man “real men do or don’t do xyz”. I’ve even experienced this as a trans man.

but the “real man” is an impossible standard to achieve. He doesn’t exist. He’s a mythical being to strive towards. You will never be him and trying to be him will trap you in a cage.

If you think that masculinity is a prison, what you need to realize is that the bars are unlocked and there are no guards. You’ve been talked into your cage like an elephant on a string and you can open the door at any time.

what-even-is-thiss

And if you’re into women and worried about what women will think if you’re not “manly enough”, my question to you is, why would you settle for someone who wants to talk you back into your cage?
