One day, when it's your blood warming someone else's hands, I hope they think of you the same way.

I know the Metroid manga isn't wildly popular for like, a variety of reasons, but I do think the funniest bit to come out of it was Samus owning a ridiculously large bed just for herself:

like go girl, use that bounty hunter money for a personal king-sized bed that you get to use like, once every few months if you're lucky.

It might be a singles bed if she were 100% chozo. Those birds are huge.

-> open starter:

The velvet curtain fluttered, though there was no breeze. A top hat rolled dramatically across the wooden stage all on its own then it came to a stop and with a soft pop. A bouquet of glittering playing cards burst from inside it. A moment later, a trail of sparkles spiraled into the air like confetti and with a flick of light there she was. Grinning like she’d just gotten away with something.

“Ta da!” she beamed, striking a theatrical pose “I was aiming for Paris, but I suppose this place will do.” Her boots clicked as she stepped down from the empty air like it was a staircase only she could see “either I botched the spell or someone around here is just that interesting…” She paused giving the person in front of her a curious once over “hmm… Definitely the second one.”

Then, with a movement of her hand, she conjured a cup of tea that floated beside her, steam curling into the shape of a bunny “so” she grinned “who do I talk to about getting a proper welcome? confetti, trumpets, perhaps a talking cat?”

#zatannazee #sonari the alien #rp

A pair of glowing blue eyes gawked at Zatanna from the shadows where theater seats should have been. From their direction, a voice like a child's cautiously called out "Wh-who are you and why are you here?" Sonari sat still on her hind paws, uncertain what to make of this lady who appeared out of thin air. She clicked a few times to echolocate and keep track of Zatanna.

The room was otherwise deserted and covered in several months worth of dust. To the point that if there were light in the room, Zatanna would be able to see lizard-like pawprints along the ground, zigzagging and varying in freshness. Pawprints that belonged to the 3ft tall dragon speaking to her. The stage was relatively in-tact but the hallways leading there were torn up and riddled with scorch marks as if a fight broke out some time ago. The entryway had a massive hole in the right side wall as if a bulldozer with claws broke through it.

(Y'know what kinda bugs me about fictional snakes? Cobras are always depicted with their hood flattened. Like, I can overlook snakes having eyelids for the sake of conveying emotions in a human way but cobra hoods? Just imagine being born in an aggressive pose and never being able to relax said pose your whole life. Like from birth having clenched fists or a scowl you can never stop doing because the look of it defines your entire species.)

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:

1. Do not do age verification.

2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

this is a psa for all trans men who dress feminine or aren’t “ cis passing “: you do NOT need to dress masculine to appeal to those who tell you you aren’t “ masculine “ enough to be a trans man. as a trans man who interchanges between feminine and masculine i can promise you that you look amazing if you do dress feminine, and that you aren’t less of a trans man for doing so. i’m tired of hearing other masculine trans men call feminine trans men “ transtrenders “, like, can you just, be open to the fact that not ALL trans men want to be hyper masculine, not ALL trans men want to go on T and get top surgery or even wear binders and tape, and it’s diminishing for other trans guys to tell trans men who aren’t “ cis passing “ what they should be or should do in order to be a real trans man. you cannot dictate other trans men’s experiences and bodies just because YOU want to be cis passing. not every trans man is, or wants, or NEEDS to be cis passing to be a trans man.

#psa #mun vocalizes #out of the between

Every presentation of transness is valid, especially when you're comfortable in your own skin. Don't let any stereotypes box you into an expression of yourself you aren't feeling like.

".....!" The ninja tries her best to keep her grip on her satchel as a strong breeze runs past her. It seems that something has flown by and its wings have caused strong winds to pull the treasure-filled bag away from the ninja's hands.

Her eyes widened, and in a pitched , she makes a dash to try to snatch it back- however it seems that the satchel has been caught in a dragon-themed reploids's wings.

Does he notice?

#violet rapier #wyvern #rp

Wyvern thought he felt something stick to his right wing. Though he assumed it was just some discarded newspaper and mindlessly brushed it off with his hand. The satchel landed haphazardly on a decorative arch above a plaza. Seagulls screeched and fluttered about. Dozens of people passed by, either entering one of the various stores or exiting them. As for Wyvern, he slowed down and landed on the ground with a gentle clack. He stepped into an arts and crafts store at the far end of the plaza.

Creating characters is fun until they start making decisions without your permission. You sit down to write a quiet breakfast scene and suddenly they’re confessing childhood trauma, or worse, falling in love with the wrong person. You’re supposed to be the god of this story, but really you’re just the exhausted babysitter of a bunch of fictional anarchists.

Honestly? How do we know we aren't god's version of "fictional anarchists"? That our reality isn't some random guy's fanfic?

PSA: Please never be afraid to send asks.

We've all been there. We open someone's ask box to send an anonymous message to a muse you want to see on the dashboard. You get ready to type... But nothing comes to mind. You, yourself, sort of want to get asks as well and start some dashboard commentary, but your mind is at a blank.

Asks are a great jumping point for writers who aren't feeling like writing a thread / ic post on it's own. Here's some suggestions for what types of asks you can send to muses when you can't think of much;

Ask the muse about a recent muse interaction. For instance, go 'Mario, how could you let Bowser talk to you like that?'

Pry at a muse about some internal narration they had. Go 'Mario, why are you doubting yourself?'

Ask an everyday question! Saunter in and go 'Mario, how's the weather today?'

The worst thing someone can do is not answer something since they can't think of a good reply, but the notion is always appreciated. If you ever wonder if it's okay to send an ask, you can always go 'hey mun, is it okay if I inform muse of x or y?' and go from there. Foster your niche community. Do unto others what you would want for yourself.

#psa #out of the between #(asks are a very good way to break the ice imo)#(and to build interactions even if they're purely between threads)

something i don’t think gets talked about enough in fandom spaces:

a lot of autistic writers sound "overly careful", "intense", or "too earnest" not because we lack social awareness, but because we’re trying very hard to be mindful. plenty of autistic / neurodivergent folks struggle or misstep when it comes to picking up social cues, so we have to work extra hard not to.

we read rules carefully, we over-clarify, we monitor tone, we ask questions, we try not to assume, we double-check dynamics. sometimes that reads as stiffness or overinvestment, or eccentricity. this is common sense to most of us, and how we tend to navigate the ooc part of rp.

what might appear socially clumsy to you is simply being respectful and conscientious to us.

also, communication styles aren’t socially oblivious. they’re often hyper-aware, just calibrated differently. and sometimes what looks like awkwardness is just someone trying not to hurt anyone. none of us want to be that person who can't read the room.

if we seem "off" or "weird", we're not trying to disrupt the vibe, but we just want to make sure we're doing things right so that we can all get along and have fun writing together with minimal issues. i'm not sure if neurotypical / allistic writers are aware of this, but i thought this post might help some people feel seen and bridge a communication gap.

#psa #out of the between #(also generally if we say or do something that bothers you be honest about it)#(autistic people usually respect blunt truth more than subtle hints because it's easier to understand the exact intention)

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

cyberlesbiab-deactivated2021052

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

internutter

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

And whatever you do, don’t watch that awful movie Stonewall. Go watch a documentary on Marsha P. Johnson instead.

(Shrill Bluejay) A humanoid robot themed after a bluejay had accidentally tripped Raven by standing on part of her cape. He recoiled as soon as he noticed and worriedly asked "You ok miss? Sorry 'bout that." He had been staring at the clouds a bit too long perhaps.

*blinks* I'm fine, I suppose. Are YOU alright?

#titans raven #shrill bluejay #rp

Shrill shrugged as he thought about how he felt regarding storms. Then replied "Eh... You get kinda tired of them when your life's purpose is to clean up after them." The memory of tornado damage surfaced. Of being pelted by hail while trying to shield humans that'd stupidly been caught off guard by the weather. Of his drones being struck by lightning on dozens of occasions.

He shook away the memories so he could focus on the present. "I just hope they remain harmless this time." Four small, orb shaped robots with a bird motif fluttered over from different directions. Shrill's right arm morphed into what resembled a canon and was held directly upwards. The drones flew into the barrel and then Shrill reverted his arm back to normal.

I think maybe the first part of keeping others safe and making them feel safe is recognizing the ways in which you are capable of harming them, especially without even realizing it

serenadeformice-deactivated2025

If you imagine yourself as an innocent and pure thing incapable of harming anyone, I'm not sure I'll ever feel safe around you. Sorry. Because when you define your entire personality in being harmless, you will respond poorly when you do, inevitably, cause harm.
