Pinned Post

[PT: Pinned Post /end PT]

Hawke, 21, he/it pronouns, transmasc queer collectively. Plural, collective name is The Arcade

We don't disclose who's speaking here 99% of the time; frequent fronters include Tommy (he/it/neos), Talon (he/lyr), Skye (any), and Sylvie (she/neos). If you ask, we're likely to tell you who you're speaking to, but otherwise we either forget or don't care to

We don't give a fuck about discourse anymore, the only stance we care to share out of the gate is we are endo friendly; you can ask us for more, but know they all stem from the core belief of "man i think it depends".

This blog is 10 years old. I cannot start organizing it now, so take care when browsing old posts. You can also find us at @thearcade945, which is far less used but far more organized.

Just heard a doctor refer to people who don’t have ADHD as ‘muggles.’

So, y’know. Hate that.

There are few things more beautiful than seeing the joy of a transmasculine or nonbinary person wearing a binder for the first time. You can just watch their faces glow in a way that says without words that this is the happiest they have ever been in their body. It's like watching someone on the brink of starvation finally get a meal. It's beautiful, and our world deserves more moments like it.

"the only difference between a cult and a religion is the scale"

NO. NO IT ISN'T. THIS IS WHAT THE CULTS WANT YOU TO THINK IT IS NOT TRUE. THERE ARE RELIGIONS THAT ARE NOT CULTS AND CULTS THAT ARE NOT RELIGIOUS AND YOU MUST LEARN THE DIFFERENCE

HAPPY PRIDE!!

Actually, I rather like being trans

[mollyjames]

I suppose being cis would be nice and all, but it doesn’t quite have the same “I will sieze Destiny by the throat and force it into the shape of my choosing” kind of verve

we justifiably give Biden a lot of shit but I think "at least 3" is the funniest possible response to some right wing dipshit asking you how many genders there are

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

[blxnc]

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

my partner doesn’t use pet names nearly as much as i do, which is very funny because i will crack my gay little knuckles and say some shit like “good morning my sun and moon, my loveliest boy, my baby my sweetheart my darling dearest” and he will reply “hello adrian”

The Weather Channel's AQI is broken (apparently the entire planet is hazardous to breathe right now, oops) but the scale only goes up to 500 so I am in tears at how the little indicator loads in upon a refresh.

if u call urself a misandrist I'm going to assume ur homophobic. I'm gonna assume that ur at the very least weird about trans women like me, that you're going to judge them based on how they pass, on how out they are, on what level of transition they are at. I'm gonna assume ur racist too. like. idk "misandry" very feels like the sorta "feminism" someone is really into when they're in high school and carefully making sure to never think about anything.

Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.

Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️‍🩹🦅

Today is the anniversary of the death of Jonathan Joss (King of the Hill, Parks and Rec). Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who died protecting his transgender husband, on the first day of Pride month. Today we remember him and how he protected his family.

🎬 Bi The Way I Am 🎬

This pride month I’m happy to share that I recently worked on a full-colour slice-of-life comic written by Mae Grenade as part of Lifeline Comics’ latest LGBT+ comic anthology, "Bi Bi Bi"; which features more than 20 stories by queer authors covering all corners of the Bi experience! 🥳🎉 The Kickstarter is live until July 3 2026 and has a bunch of bonus perks to peruse including digital editions, print editions, pins, bundles, and more!

💙💜🩷 Go show the Kickstarter some love! 🩷💜💙

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

Sometimes I get the weird compulsion to go through the list of embarassing, rude, or just weird shit I've said to people over the years and apologize in some kind of epic self-improvement binge and then I remember literally every person on that "list" probably has absolutely 0 memory of what happened and would almost certainly respond with confusion and then perhaps even irritation and reminding them I said something rude then I remember I have OCD and it gives you disordered thinking and this is all insane and I stop.

they should teach useful skills in school like home economics and how to safely pirate media
