My butch and I are both lesbians. We are, neither of us, men.

But I call him my boyfriend. I call him my boytoy, my boy, sir, Mr., guy. Cause this language makes him happy. It supports his gender and expression, and it makes him happy.

Butches of all flavors and types have been using he/him pronouns and masculine language forever. Butches have been called boy, guy, boyfriend. Butches have used "traditionally masculine" names like Mitch, Ed, Mac, Joe.

Cause guess what?

Language is fake! It's all made up! If it makes you happy, use it! Wanna call yourself "boy," even if you're not a man? Do it! Wanna be called "boyfriend," even if you're not a guy? Go for it!

Cats and Only Murders In The Building

Me and my amazing girlfriend are watching the show Only Murders In The Building, and the guy who owns the cat (one of our fav characters, the cat not the guy) Sevelyn, well. We found a major inconsistency there. Minor spoilers BTW.

Who the heck would consider giving up his cat for a guy you just met? Just because this dude you hardly know is heavily allergic. Have the cat live at the LIBRARY, get a HUMIDIFIER!? Lint roll all your clothes? Heck no! Dude, you're an IDIOT!!

My gf loves cats and if I ever developed an allergy I'd get on a pill or something before letting her give up her baby.

This show knows nothing about cat lovers. Hit or miss, they MISSED!!

Evidence against the argument that Superman's disguise wouldn't fool anyone:

Dolly Parton once lost a Dolly Parton look alike contest to a fucking drag queen.

Charlie Chaplin once failed to even place at a Charlie Chaplin impersonator contest.

Hugh Jackman went to comic con as Wolverine, only 2 people noticed him and one told him he was too tall.

Christopher Reeve use to go to a restaurant in costume when filming Superman. When he went in the Superman costume he was mobbed by people all the time. When he went in the Clark Kent costume no one realized he was Christopher Reeve.

Finding A Characters Voice

This is something I'm working on finding for some of my characters right now. Namely my mind character, as I want her to feel like she's not a bland piece of cardboard. So lets dive into some tips I'm finding along the way to figuring out who my characters are.

First and foremost, not all characters should be the same. Some of them may talk fast and rapidly, which leads them to have longer, more ramble-y sentences. Some are quick and to the point. Others may be in the middle.

Word choice. Maybe one of your characters loves big and fancy words. Others can be more simple.

Dialect. Maybe a character is from Texas and has a traditional southern accent. Use words that are more native to the south. Maybe they have a Boston accent, or British, New York, even! Figure out what are common phrases and consider using them! It'll make it feel more natural.

Write interactions with other characters! Write a scene in their POV! The best way to figure out a characters voice is through discovery. Put them in new scenes and figure out how they'll react! They don't even have to go in the book, just practice writing them and you'll find it!

The Penny Passport

I'm not sure how many people know what a Penny Passport is. I've had one my entire life, and it's not filled up yet. It's small one, too, and I used to go so many places when I was younger and collect pressed pennies. And as I grew older I stopped going new places, which isn't my fault, nor was it my dads, things just got harder on us, and well, we didn't have the opportunities to to anywhere new.

I hope though, now that I'm older, and can make my own decisions, I'll get to and press new pennies. Because yeah, while I know it's probably something littler kids like to do more than grown adults, I still want to keep collecting pennies. Fill up more passports. Because pressed pennies remind me of when I was younger, when my family was happy, we didn't have issues and could go places and fill that passport up.

But not only that, I just honestly think pressed pennies are super cool. I hope they never go away. I hope many places I visit in the future give me the opportunity to add a new memory to my penny passport.

How To Tell Her: Lumity

“Cast out to sea…”

As the famous singer sang, Amity looked at Luz. The human smiled easily, and then slipped her hand in Amity’s. The room got a thousand degrees hotter instantly. Amity knew right then and there that she wanted to be with Luz, like really be with her…like dating be with her.

She knew before. But right now, experiencing this with her best friend, well it kinda solidified that feeling. And, just like the song Sabrina Carpenter was singing, Amity was too in the middle of starting over. For some reason the world brought Luz into the witch's life, and at any point she could get whisked back to The Demon Realm.

They were at a Sabrina Carpenter concert for titans sake! Maybe right now was the perfect time to ask her out. So, Amity opened her mouth…

And then she yelled out. “Luz! I’m so glad you took me to this concert!”

Luz raised their hands up. “I am too, you’re my best friend!”

“Right,” Amity muttered. “Friends.”

The girl's heart sank. She couldn’t ruin the night by asking Luz out now that she thought about it. What if Luz didn’t like her back?

So, Amity put on her best smile and enjoyed the rest of the night, her hand firmly holding onto Luz’s, and her heart desperately trying to attach itself to Luz and failing miserably.

Just a small section of this weeks chapter for The Boiling Isles Protection Program! If you want to see how we got here make sure to read my fic which you can find here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44569810/chapters/112111843

Don't Tell Anyone: Lumity

Amity pursed her lips. “I didn’t come from the healthiest of homes, Luz.” 

“I wouldn’t of known,” Luz whispered. “Is that why you came to live with your aunt?” 

Amity inhaled sharply. “I, uh? Kinda. I mean, Eda isn’t my real aunt. But she did save me. It’s all complicated.” 

“I’m here to listen,” Luz put her hand over Amity’s. “If you want to talk about it.” 

“I don’t want to burden you, Luz. I can tell you have your own stuff going on,” Amity tried her best not to look at Luz’s arms. Her sleeves hadn’t rolled up, but once Amity even glanced at it for a second, Luz seemed to understand. 

“I’m alright, really,” Luz whispered. “No need to worry about me.” 

“I wont push you,” Amity said. “But if you need anything, anything, you can message me. I’ll come over, find you, whatever you need. Call me even.” 

Luz slumped in her seat and crossed her arms, almost as if she was challenging Amity to something. “Same to you.” 

Amity smiled. “I’ll promise to come to you if you promise to do the same to me.” Luz’s guard fell. “I promise I’ll do my best, I really do. It’s just…hard, to be honest about anything with people. And please…don’t worry anyone else with this stuff. Like, my stuff. Don’t…like, tell anyone. That I’m not okay. Because I am.”

Sneak peak for the Boiling Isles Protection Program. Chapter for this week! Coming to you all Friday at 6pm! Chapters 1 - 8 are up now!

redraw of the scene from a new promo

I'm not ready for the final episode 😭

[cosmicrat3]

In the rain scene, Luz can no longer do her signature light spell, and so Amity conjured it for her, and they held their hands up together so that Luz could feel as though she was doing it like she always used to.

When Amity was lost, miserable and alone, Luz, true to her name, showed her the light. Now, seeing Luz struggling to hold on, Amity is helping her to make that light again, even when it seems impossible.

[animerunner]

Don’t need who needs to hear this but Luz being in a dream during the finale. Does not mean the whole thing was a dream

There is a clearly a shift going on here that didn’t exist before. Which means dream sequence
