when @piraytoro asks me to jump, i say “how high?” here is the first chapter of a new fic called do you know (what you’re missing will show) (5.8k).
fic summary:
On his first day of school, Pete Wentz learns that the prettiest girl he's ever seen doesn't date—or won't date until her sister does, at least.
Ray Toro doesn't know what she expects when a new kid wants to play bass for her band, but it wasn't a date. With a girl.
(or, the 10 Things I Hate About You au)
chapter summary:
"Aw, you’re not one of those guys who gets weird about girls in the scene, right?”
Pete shakes his head, maybe too enthusiastically. “No, of course not.” He thought that would be obvious, but he’s not really dressed like he’s into local music. His mom wouldn’t let him. He probably looks like a douchebag. “I mean,” he says, trying to find evidence against it, “back home, half the people my band hung out with were chicks. Girls. Women.” Yeah, ‘chicks’ definitely made him sound like he was weird. “And, uh… my mom’s a feminist?”
G Way is there, somewhere, hidden behind people or in the shadows, and Ray wouldn’t be nervous about it if Pete hadn’t told her literally right before they went on. She likes to think she’s immune to that, and maybe she is—she didn’t have any big fuckups, at least—but her hands shake now, fumbling her guitar when she tries to put it in the case.
happy jet star saturday! i finally FINALLY posted chapter one of the very slowburn very party-centric very putting jet star into situations danger days fic called be still, my indelible friend (15.5k). i have had so much fun working on this and i'm happy to have it out in the world!!!
summary:
California, 2015.
Party looks at him, really looks. Heavy boots over dark jeans; black jacket, writing on the front of it; sunglasses on his head, over a mop of brown curls; a handsome face with kind eyes.
after a year long wait (whoops) chapter two (39.8k) is now up!
summary:
California, 2016.
Party likes Bombay Beach. But it doesn’t feel solid, permanent; it’s a pitstop on the way to the end. A mirage, promising safety when the desert still looms all around them. But they keep it to themself.
There’s no imminent danger. It’s been a long time since they could say that. They won’t take it for granted.
California, 2017.
Dracs show up at a vending machine. One of them shoots Kobra in the leg. Party and Jet just barely manage to get them all, dodging shots and aiming poorly. Jet gets clipped in the shoulder, Party gets another graze on their arm.
“We can’t keep doing this,” Jet says as they drive away, voice wavering. He drives with one hand, unable to bend his shoulder. “I’m so sorry, Kobra, I’m so, so sorry. I should’ve protected you.”
murderscenelife nation: i’m going to be privating my wips, indelible friend and do you know, for the time being until i get more work done on them . feel free to download them if you’d like as i don’t have an estimate of when they’ll be back up . i plan to private them on 6/7/26 . sorry for doing this it’s just a lot of pressure to have them up for so long without updating and since i plan to come back to them i don’t want to delete or orphan . hope yall can understand <3
Every day i think about those black musicians whose songs were made into covers by white people and now everyone thinks that these are the originals. Youtube comment sections are full of people like "is this what it feels like to find out you're adopted?" instead of celebrating and promoting the original creators of the songs.
In descending order based on last.fm listener count
Firstly, this post INCLUDES TRANS WOMEN so don't let this get derailed
Secondly, I stuck to artists below 500k listeners because the purpose of this post is to hopefully expose you to artists you were more likely unaware of previously (so this does not include the many prolific, but already quite popular bands like boygenius, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg, etc.).
And lastly, this list was formulated by me and my own tastes/interests, which are biased! If anyone wants to suggest more artists/bands (especially more non-english ones) I'd love to add them!

I don't know I just don't get how you are even supposed to have a community when the result is that any grievance between people can be a mass ban wave. What the fuck do you do. You have to stand together no matter what and then people point to that and call you crazy.
The thing with guilt by association is that its deliberate, it exists to destroy any kind of unity. If someone decides to get a bee in their bonnet about my erotic hypnosis kink and I get banned because of it, the tumblr moderation staff are likely to go after every single trans woman that regularly interacts with me, and people will cheer for it.
This is the kind of shit that the FBI did with communists during the Red Scare. If you were friends with a communist, even if you had no idea, it would be cause to investigate you or ruin your life forever. This was done to isolate communists from normal people and make it easier to round them up.
Trans women on tumblr are not seriously causing harm there's basically no reason to employ this tactic other than to get rid of us.
@staff if unbanning me was your idea of good PR to get the rest of this banwave to go down smooth, you better terminate me again right here right now. I will not be tokenized. I will not be an offering to appease the masses. Reinstate all of my sisters and fix your hearts, or die.
if banning trans women but not banning nazis doesnt make staff white supremacists i dont know how to explain this otherwise this website is for white tme westerners
Don't forget staff has also already targeted and banned Black users which is why the site is as white as it is now. Staff wants to ENSURE that this website is for white tme westerners. A huuuuge portion of Black and indigenous Americans got chased off back in 2016 and Black women especially get marked as "mature content" for images of them just standing around fully clothed
