ever have a blorbo live in your brain for so long they become their own blorbo variant that’s no longer fully attached to their source material and your original blorbo is still beloved and dear to you but now you also have a mutant blorbo clone who is dear to you in a different way?

The reason the work you’ve done on how you feel doesn’t seem like it’s working is because you need to do it until it works. It’s never been “this strategy will pull you up” it’s always been “here’s something you can do that will END with you getting out of that hole” the climbing still hurts and the being underground still hurts but that doesn’t mean it’s not working

*doing laundry* “this doesn’t feel better

*cooking meals* this doesn’t feel better

*exercising* this doesn’t feel better

*making art* this doesn’t feel better

*cleaning the apartment* this doesn’t feel better

*somewhere months or years down the line*

holy shit

Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

I have a bad habit of calling things "loathsome" if they mildly inconvenience me, which usually isn't that bad, but today I spilled my drink and said "loathsome juice..." under my breath without realizing that's not a normal thing to say

everyone started laughing

[cleansingreflections-deactivate]

ive already seen stuff about this so i want to make it clear. i hope people realize that john mulaney relapsing, having to go to rehab, divorcing his wife and then immediately after dating someone else and having a kid with her is one thing, it's a series of things that happened to him and that are none of our business, they don't impact anybody else's lives except john's and the people directly involved, that's why people were defending him back then and talking about not putting him on a pedestal because he's not perfect etc

john mulaney platforming a transhomophobe without a warning, and cheering him on and clapping and hugging him etc is a completely different thing. dude that HURTS people, that's a direct attack towards his vastly queer online audience. it involves all of us

so here's my point. "stop putting celebrities on a pedestal" worked for the first part, john was considered this untouchable being, and then he did something that was kinda ehhhhhhh and we know what happened

but THIS IS DIFFERENT. the pedestal is on the ground. we are ground fucking floor baby! the standard is literally "don't be a bigot" AND HE DID THAT. there is no pedestal girl it's basic common sense

one thing is elevating someone to godhood, giving them the untouchable perfect person status, and being disappointed when they do one thing that makes them less perfect. another is expecting the bare fucking minimum (not being a bigot) and being met with bigotry.

please. PLEASE for the love of everything that is holy and unholy on this earth, learn the goddamn difference and understand that this is nowhere near comparable as the previous shit that happened

I just saw the most Galaxy Brain gender take ever, from a cis man on reddit

[ID: a screenshot of a comment from reddit, with no username visible. The commend reads: This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me either. Setting aside the question of whether gender/sex is assigned or observed at birth, the gender I was assigned at birth was ‘boy.’ The gender I have now is ‘man’. Boys and men have different gender roles, and few adults identify as boys anymore. From this standpoint, every adult has a different gender than the one they had at birth. End ID]

Framing “girl” and “boy” as separate genders from “woman” and “man” is such an amazing take. it’s a framework that accommodates and explains so many trans experiences. Some trans people never were their AGAB. Some feel like they were their AGAB, but that that changed (usually when puberty hits, which is when you start “becoming a man/woman”. The accepted societal path is that girls grow up to into women, and boys grow up into men. But some girls grow up into men, and some boys grow up into women. This guy was a boy who grew up into a man, which generally works out pretty well for people. Some boys and girls grow up into people who aren’t men or women, even! It’s like this random cis guy skipped right over transgender 101, 102, 201, etc. and stumbled directly into Transgender Nirvana.

most of the martin bullying in the fandom is a bit of a misunderstanding of his character imo (all “soft gay boy uwu so silly and lovesick”) which is a shame bc we all should be bullying him for touching fucking every definitely cursed object he comes across

[bananonbinary]

a incomplete list of random bullshit martin blackwood has touched for no good reason:

eldritch worms (to throw them at jon)

worm queen ash (to comfort(?) jon)

a book in gertrude’s storage unit that was like 90% likely to be a leitner

plastic explosives

the lonely

the extinction couch

actually most of these were to prove a point to jon. u know that meme like ‘this person is 90% of my impulse control” jon is the opposite of that to martin. he unintentionally drives him to do shit that would DEFINITELY get him killed in a horror movie.

[iamthehelperdog]

Jon: Martin don’t touch the dangerous thing

Martin:

[oliverxco]

PLEASE eat me for survival. I'm ready

ok :)

[parkchanwoohoo]

Getting into an argument with my partner because I said they should eat my body if I die before them in a survival situation and they refuse to entertain the notion. "I'm not saying you should kill me, I'm saying if you outlive me you should eat me," I say. "NO," they respond.

God knows what Elias did to finally make Jon snap at him - probably some ill-intentioned jab about Martin, knowing him. But Jon's bony fist catches Elias in the gut, right under the place where his ribs meet. "Fuck you," he spits, lip curled. He looks like he wants to rip Elias' throat open with his teeth.

He sees it coming.

Or rather, he doesn’t, really. He was shown it was coming, but dismissed it the way one would automatically swipe away a phone notification before wondering; wait, what was that about? He’s gotten a little too used to Jon’s stoic, stubborn insistence on ignoring him, to how adamant the Archivist is about Not Being Bothered by Elias. He doesn’t need to Look in order to See that Jon is bothered, upset but refusing to act on it - he’s Seen it a thousand times before. It’s routine.

As such, the punch takes him mildly off guard. Startles him, almost; the shock of Jon’s touch, finally, after all the distance, all but making him stumble.

Elias blinks. Looks Jon in the eye, at the feral fury he sees reflected in his expression, holding his gaze in a heavy, dangerous sort of silence. And then he laughs, a delighted, unexpected huff of air.

“Certainly,” he quips, catching Jon’s hand and keeping it there, pressed to his stomach, long, nimble fingers circling Jon’s wrist and holding tight. Touching. It’s wonderful, and Elias can feel the revulsion under Jon’s skin almost like he’s vibrating with it. How fun. “Though I was under the impression that that wasn’t your thing.” It’s a little mocking, words over-enunciated. Just to irritate him further. Elias’ grip tightens - an unnecessary but thoroughly entertaining show of strength.

I’ll break you the way you need to be, one day. Though it certainly would be preferable if you asked me for it, Jon.

if she's your girl why does she have an ambiguous relationship with me

[valtsv]

if he's your man why is my relationship with him "up to interpretation"
