Me and other pronouns

She/Her, give me yours and I'll be happy to use them.

Thought I'd make a little intro thingy, so here it is.

Something that has been on my mind a lot lately is bad media takes and how they can negatively effect discourse. To be clear I'm not talking about takes I disagree with. It can be a lot of fun and useful to discuss different interpretations of the same material. It can lead to better understanding and better artistic choices in the future. Bad takes, however, don't invite discussion, they attempt to stifle it. Only agreement is acceptable to bad critics. Even the slightest push back on their personal take on a piece of media is characterized as a personal attack. Yet, at the same time, talking about them as a person will have them crying: "you just didn't like my video about your favorite show." These responses are both designed to end or derail conversations.

Speaking of that, I plan to focus on mostly media takes either in videos or on social media and not so much any allegations or outside drama where I can. I am not trained in an area where my knowledge can help, I don't have access to all the evidence and I don't have personal experience with either the people involved or often even with similar events. I do have some media and writing knowledge, however, so Imma stick to my lane. I can't say I'll never mention anything, if they are in a vid or on media it may be relevant, but it's not my focus. Most of the allegations are very serious in nature and deserve a finer approach then I could bring.

I promise to be honest in what I present and will be as transparent about my sources as I can be. In the case of Lily Orchard, I've already been blocked on tumblr so screenshots are going to have to do. If she deletes a post please feel free to point that out and I'll note it or remove that post.

publicly talking about what they post is harassment, talking about people they've victimized is harassment, talking about what they've done to you personally is harassment, looking at what they post is stalking, thinking what they post reflects on them is believing in thoughtcrime, sharing what they write verbatim is pedojacketing, and any level of public perception of what these people share is a social murdering mass campaign. it's DARVO all the way down and when it's just their general behaviour being discussed it's Deny & Attack anyway. Open Your Eyes!!!

So, the claim here is, that you are enough of an expert on AAVE, that you can tell when words are being used incorrectly. Not, in a new way that is soon to be commonplace. Not in a regional way that is more common where poster is from. Not using old parlance that they picked up from Grandma, but is now out of fashion. Not the attempts from someone who grew up speaking another language trying to use the language of those around them.

But incorrect. Or rather, not just incorrect. But incorrect is such a way that you can tell which generation, an arbitrary designation assigned for demographic purposes, is from. That's the claim?

I wouldn't make that claim about English, which is not only my first language, but the one I spent 16 years studying formally.

I know, I know, This is pedantic. Absolutely. It is not bad faith, though. This is what CD is saying. Or, at least, the logical conclusion of what she is saying. One of the ways she can spot a Zoomer from a post is when they use AAVE "incorrectly." Since she didn't define incorrect, I simply applied it to posts I've seen using words or phrasing "incorrectly," in other ways.

No, bad faith would be pointing ought that a few post later CD brags about how she purposely misspells and mispronounces names and words to annoy people, sometimes.

Such Zoomer behavior.

Bumbleby straight up fucked my brain up. Never really given a damn about the vast, vast majority of romance in stories but now whenever I'm struggling to care about any given stupid romantic drama a voice in the back of my head says "would you care if it were Blake and Yang?" the answer to which is almost always a very begrudging yes. So thanks for making me believe in love, assholes. I'll never forgive you for this.

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

that's solidarity baybeeee

[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

If you haven't seen the 2014 movie, Pride, about the events surrounding the LGSM and the striking miners in 1984...well, you should.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

This should to be a common knowledge: You can't truly be both RWBY Fan and a Homophobic, since the are concepts totally opposites 😌

It's June, motherfuckers, and you know what that means! Apart from firing a few rent-lowering shots to filter out the chuds from my following, it's probably also a good time to post a reminder that there are many strange ways to be queer, and this is one of them.

video transcript below the cut, may be slightly inaccurate, I tend to ad-lib when reading my scripts into voiceover

It's Pride Month, so if you'll forgive me I'm taking a two minute break from the One Piece, League of Legends, Marvel Rivals, Final Fantasy and Pokémon shorts to tell you… Sylveon is trans, Taliyah is trans, everyone on the Straw Hats is queer, there are no words to describe how queer superheroes are as a concept let alone how queer they all are individually, and here's a fun fact for you: Cloud Strife's story gets ten times better when you understand it as an allegory for a trans coming out experience.

As for me, well, I'm not trans, but I do occupy my own little space in the rainbow flags which looks like this. I am aromantic.

We are generally not as visible as many of our queer siblings, probably at least partly because it's kind of a difficult identity to even discover in yourself, you basically have to prove a negative.

But what is this thing, "aromantic"? Well… okay, let's say you're a straight guy, right. You know the way you feel romantically about other men? I feel exactly the same way, and then I also feel that way about women, and then also the same way about all of the other genders.

Now, aromantic often goes along with asexual, there's a lot of co-occurrence of the two, but not always, and that is my situation. Yes to sex, no to romance, which being a man, yes, I know, that just makes me the same as 90% of the men you match on Hinge. "Ha ha ha didn't realize "fuccboi" was an orientation now," I know. I get it. I understand. I have had all the same thoughts myself, especially when I was questioning.

Which is the difficulty with being aromantic, because in order to figure out that that's what you are, you have to prove a negative. I have never been in love, and I have no reason to think I ever will be… but what if someday I meet The One??? What if there's a special divinely designated perfect soulmate out there, just waiting for me, and one day our eyes will meet across the room and it will be love at first sight forever?

And like. I can't prove that won't happen, anymore than I can prove that there isn't a flowery pink teapot currently hiding somewhere in the orbit of Saturn. And frankly, if it did happen, I wouldn't be mad. Why would I be? I would have a soulmate! That's a pretty big W, I think.

But… I've had over thirty years to encounter someone—anyone—who can spark my romantic interest, and thus far, every challenger of every gender has failed. So either I am aromantic, or else you people have a skill issue.

Anyway, like anything to do with queerness, aromantic is a sprawling and diverse spectrum. You got your aroaces, aroallos, aroflux, arospikes, demiromantics, frayromantics, grayromantics, cupioromantics, there's a whole world of different experiences present under this umbrella. For me, though, just "aromantic" is fine. That's the broad label, that's the one I fall under, that's the identity I take pride in. Happy June!

Happy Pride!

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
