"I used to be a captain for the House of Kings..."

A magical land of video games, cats, memes, and etcetera. Destiny 2 is the flavour of the now, but you'll find a bunch of other crap mixed in. Bi, male, trans-ally, overgrad student during daylight hours. Angry, alcoholic, eliksni serf by night.

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

I'm a sucker for emotionally charged, artistic indie games with a deep story... But I was not prepared for Spiritfarer.

I said goodbye to Alice two nights ago, and I swear I felt my soul shatter. How can a fictional elderly hedgehog lady drive me to the kind of tears that physically hurt? It's still making me tear up to think about 48 hours later.

I know it sounds really dumb, but I'm gonna need to heal a bit before I finish this game.

[peregrinramblings]

Sending Summer away after having her help with the garden then having her absent suplexed my soul straight out of my buddy and left me a withered wreck for about 3 days. I hear you.

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

Gwen definitely made me tear up, but Snake Mom was the first one to get me ugly crying. Did you get to read about Summer in life and how she met her wife? I swear this whole game is just one dropkick to the heart after another...

But I know I have to finish it eventually. Ugh...

[peregrinramblings]

That game is SO GOOD but the hurt is real. Atul? I'm broken. Gustav? Tears.

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

I think tonight may be the night I try again tbh. Poor Astrid, Atul, and Gustav have been waiting pretty patiently for me to finish mourning Alice and I'd be a crappy Spiritfarer if I didn't finish the job.

Thankfully I just finished washing my crying hoodie the other day. 😅

Officially the most nightmare-inducing armour in the game. This is not okay Bungo.

[platedhart]

Thanks tumblr for making me look at this shit so I can be reminded of how I was constantly bullied and called q*eer for my sexuality.

Seriously, this is no different than saying “the f*ggiest place on the internet”.

It’s obviously going to make many people very uncomfortable.

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

Seriously. All day long I got to relive the abuse I dealt with in high school, and all I had to do was open this app.

Thanks @staff, much a-fucking-preciated.

Well, there’s no way around it: This has got to be one of the queerest places on the internet.

How queer, you ask? Apparently, folks on Tumblr are 193% more likely to identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community than on any other social media platform. That’s you! Well, it’s most of you. It’s a helluva lot of you.

Let’s talk about you—the LGBTQIA+ community on Tumblr. You, who uplift each other, back each other up, uphold each other’s truths. You make Tumblr the supportive space it is.

So hey, whether you’re out and proud or just starting to figure things out, queer Tumblr has got your back—and it touches every fandom and ship and interest you can imagine...we have (finally canonical) declarations of love! Ratty allies! Gay ACNH villagers! Pronoun-positive worms on strings! And frogs! So many frogs. No matter what, you’ll find support and acceptance and, if you need it, a little bit of guidance.

This is who you are. Not just in June, but every day of every year. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

🦄,

Tumblr

[staff]

You made Tumblr queer as hell. We wanted to thank you for that with some gently silly, aesthetic things. Why wait for Pride month? Tumblr celebrates year-round.

If you’re on a computer, check out the latest Color Palette for a fun dashboard makeover. Just mosey your little cursor over to the account button in the upper right-hand corner, click it, and then click “Change Palette.” The hues were inspired by the all-inclusive Pride flag.

While you’re there on your computer, you can brighten up your posts by tagging them with certain genders and sexuality-related words, like #lesbian, #trans, or #asexual. There’s a bunch of them! And we want to include more in the next tag update. If there’s a specific identity you need to see in our next release, let us know in the reblogs. For now, we hope everyone feels seen and celebrated in the rainbow #LGBTQIA+ tag.

Android and iOS folks, we didn’t forget about you. You’ll start to see all of this stuff around May 10.

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

@staff using a slur to describe their entire platform, and not giving a fuck about the lgbt folks legitimately upset by it.

I wanna say "OH just another day on Tumblr", but this actually has me livid. As a childhood victim of ACTUAL HOMOPHOBIA, fuck you all and fuck anyone who tries to justify this insensitive bullshit.

[cleavedred]

is this necessary.

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

Lol elmo was me opening Tumblr this morning

[sjw-dipper]

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

Haha, no kiddo, your take is bad and you should feel bad.

So your inane labels are more important than the abuse I suffered from whole ass homophobes.

Gotcha. 🙄

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

hi, thanks for the response on the q---r tumblr staff post. genuinely, it means a lot <3

You're welcome anon. And thank you for being one of a very few good asks I've gotten in response to my post. 💚

Not sure why this slur ridden shitpost is in my line of sight, but whoever posted it directly to the top of every dash on this godawful site deserves a horrible case of diarrhea.

Some of us are actual victims of hate crimes, and the q slur brings those memories of being physically and mentally assaulted back to the surface. I expect this lack of awareness from children on this hellsite but not from the admins.

Just goes to show you that those who screech the loudest are heard over the real victims.

[terracottahearted]

Can we stop calling the lgbt community the “queer community” or calling gay and lesbian studies “queer studies” because a large chunk of the lgbt community doesn’t reclaim this slur. It’s like if you called women’s studies “bitch studies” or called any poc community or studies “[insert slur here] community/studies”

Yikes

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

googoo gaga grow the fuck up i can smell your mothers breastmilk from here facist scum

Come back once you've held down an actual job and live independently of your mummy's chequebook. Everyone will be waiting with baited breath!

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

Oooh so edgy!

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

Wow. Why are people so fucking vile?

[catgirlforeskin]

He had a hand in the colonization of like, most of the world, and on top of that was generally morally abhorrent and bigoted, I think people cheering about his death is more than called for.

It is funny that while bemoaning how the poors could be so cruel for celebrating when an evil ghoul that literally ruled over them died, in the same breath you call for the mass death of these poor and colonized people, because that’s exactly the kind of thing ol’ Phil would’ve done, and is why people are happy he died.

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

Lol wow you're certainly full of yourself. It's amazing that the whole "don't celebrate death" concept went right over your empty little head, and you chose to play the race card.

Please deposit yourself into the nearest trash receptacle, and stay there until you realise that someone's death is not your soapbox to screech on.

[catgirlforeskin]

Girl you quite literally called for the mass death of people for celebrating the death of a man that helped rule one of the most evil empires to ever exist, how are you trying to take a moral high ground lmao.

Like even if you think celebrating death is wrong no matter what, which of these actions do you think is worse:

- being the figurehead of an empire that has killed millions and helped destroy countless countries and actively participate in that rule

-being glad that an evil member of an evil government institution is dead and no longer able to cause harm

-wishing death upon the people glad about that

Like is “I can excuse colonialism and wishing for mass death, but I draw the line at being happy when evil people die” the hill you want to die on? Is a breach of civility worse than genocide to you? Like what is going on in your head? Is the first thing you’d do with a time machine go back and yell at people celebrating when Mussolini or Hitler died?

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

Dont. Celebrate. Death.

You STILL don't fucking get it.

Wow this is sad.

[phlegm-the-alcoholic-dreg]

On this blog, we actively shit on shameless faux anarchist trash children who cannot function in the real world.
