Rocky was going to say "fans of PHM" but Grace panicked! 🏳️‍🌈

I’m having a stupid thought so you all have to hear it: a scene in the movie (I don’t think it’s in the book) The Stepford Wives has the kids get on the bus in their new town and look around in horror to see every other child looking depressed and haunted. My thought is that those kids, who clearly know something is very wrong in town and that their parents are lying about it, could make up the main character party of the world’s darkest Kids on Bikes adventure ever. (”This season on Stepford Things, Mary and Gina find a copy of mom’s arm that appears to be a spare, and set fire to the community center!”)

[earths-roots-grow-up]

This! This was my thought when I was watching the movie and reading the book. That this is so scary, but would be even more so if it was from the kid’s point of view, if done realistically. In the book there was a scene when a child commented on the change, but positively, since mom now made better breakfast or something. To me that’s not realistic child reaction and it was the one scene I disliked in the book.

Think about it. You are, let’s say, 8. You are young but not stupid. You KNOW this person is not your mommy - one day mom was mom, then someone started impersonating her, and real mom disappeared. Your dad is still dad, you are sure, but he is pretending not to notice mom is not mom. But you know he HAS to see it, because he knew mom, and this person is nothing like her, outside of appearance. She lost all her personality and sense of humor, she lost all her thoughts and hobbies, and is eerie and pleasant constantly.

So now you are 8, live with a bizarre imposter pretending to be your mom, and your dad - the one person you should be able to seek protection from - is lying about it being mom, for some reason you can’t comprehend.

All your friends have the same problem. You talk quietly about it during school breaks - all their daddies are lying, too… You have no one to talk to, because you are freaking 8. No one will listen.

I need this.

[forthegothicheroine]

Yeah, when I read the kid being happy that his mom is making hot breakfast now, I thought this can’t possibly last.

For the girls- what’s going to happen to them? Even Stepford men probably don’t want to have robot offspring who never age, but something is bound to go horribly wrong.

For the boys- is this a metaphor for growing up under the patriarchy or growing up seeing your mom getting abused? Either way, somebody is going to clash with his dad.

Every Pride Month I’m once again struck by the ridiculousness of the “marriage is between a man and a woman, as (the Christian) God intended” and similar ‘marriage is a (somehow a solely) Christian institution’ rhetoric. Your God did not invent marriage. Your God was late to the scene on the whole marriage thing. It existed long before the Old Testament, even. Which is not to say that marriage as a Christian rite (which was a later historical construct) is not valid, I believe everyone has a right to practice their religious beliefs surrounding marriage but, again, most religions and societies have some concept of marriage and your idea of Christian marriage entered the game way later than some of these.

The concept of marriage in American society is a legal construct, not a religious one.

(Also, side note, Christian marriage being between “one man and one woman” is controversial even in Christian theological debate because polygyny is never definitively condemned in the text. They only decided on the one man and one woman thing in 673 and not everyone agreed.)

pissing off the cishet eene fans on twitter by submitting that joel dickie interview to an “lgbt character of the day” account and labeling trans woman double dee as canon.

[kissimirrit]

the interview for anyone curious.

[robjectionable-content]

You can’t just leave a gem like this in the tags!

[yallidarityforever]

read the interview y'all. he just says that shit and then doesn’t elaborate. The interviewer doesn’t ask him to elaborate. He’s like. “edd is a girl but she doesn’t know it yet” and nothing else.

[maddiegayashell]

This shit is awesome

[homunculus-argument]

A grand fantasy city-state that has developed a consistent, uniform system of "best by"-dates, not just for food safety reasons and to reduce food waste, but to also significantly reduce crime and conflict between residents. The matter at hand is goblins.

Goblin residents of the city are legal citizens with equal rights just the same as everyone else, but their natural lifestyle differs dramatically from the rest of the peoples living in the city. They are scavengers by nature, having no problems with eating carrion, overripe fruits and plants, and building everything they own from things that other races throw away as junk and trash. As the city produces plenty of waste that goblins would love to take and the city is glad to be rid of, any well-organised city is not just a paradise for goblins, but welcomes them with open arms. They save the city a fortune in waste disposal costs.

Problems mainly arise by differing ideas of what counts as "discarded". Goblins are unfairly labelled as thieves, when they are merely opportunistic and optimistic by nature, and will interpret any unclear situation to their own benefit, and will argue "how was I supposed to know that you still wanted it?" over things that looked lovely and were left unattended. And while yoinked items of clothing and other tools are easily returned or financially reimbursed (paying for what they already took is the only use that goblins have for money, which they do not steal), but foodstuff is gone faster than you can blink.

So, the city needed to determine laws for how to define and clearly label when consumable goods are no longer fit to most peoples' consumption, both to help people keep track on how old their groceries are, and also to mark them for goblins. So even though the food that's past the date on it can still be good to eat, it might also be gone by the next time you reach for it.

[homunculus-argument]

Ok yeah I admit. This is just how me and my boyfriend live.

It’s so sad that students are now relying so heavily on AI for writing essays because they’re missing out on the best part of writing an essay which is when you’re a few paragraphs in and you just reach that flow state where your thought process becomes one with the essay and you’re slamming the keys so hard that you’re on the verge of destroying your laptop. I used to get high off of that shit

It's apparently only ONE population of this species that does this. Everyone else hunts and caches normally. The other falcons probably talk shit about this fucked up torture family.

Ooooh that’s even more fascinating. That means it’s a learned behavior they TAUGHT one another.

rocky learns about the Denmark incident :]

[fizzy-tizzy]

Everyone knows the first day of Friend Grace’s class is nickname day. It’s the day when every pebble is on their best behavior to try and make sure they get a cool nickname, something unique that they can brag to their friends and classmates about.

Sometimes, Grace will do it without thinking. That’s how Kiddo and Buddy got their nicknames. Often, Grace will nickname students after their coloration. Gaia got his nickname because he’s blue and green, and apparently looks a lot like Earth. Violet got hers because she’s purple. (She was initially disappointed since color means nothing to Eridians, but then Friend Grace showed them violet flowers and said that humans often associated purple with wealth and royalty, and she changed her tune.) Most of the time, Grace will give his students what he calls “regular human names” like Abby, Carl, or Martin.

But the most coveted nicknames are ones named after Earthen creatures. When ♩♪♬ 🎵 ♩♪♬ 🎵 first introduced themselves, Friend Grace immediately perked up and shouted “Robin!” After a bit of explaining himself and a few videos of bird calls, Robin was trilling and chirping happily, excited at having a nickname that felt like a 1-to-1 translation of their own.

Even well after Friend Grace is gone, his legacy remains. A hundred years into the future, when humankind finally launches a new ship with the express purpose of properly meeting their Eridian neighbors, one of the first messages exchanged is “Hello! My name Robin.”

Taking up Japanese as a side project for myself has reminded me of something.

So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.

So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.

This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.

Japanese doesn’t exactly have cuss words in the same way as English does but imagine that the nicest professor you’ve ever had pulls your paper over and says “Okay listen here you little piece of shit I’m gonna fucking explain this to you. Violently.”

This (studying in Chile for a year) is more or less how I realized my two PhD-having, tenured professor expat parents raised me to speak the most disrespectful and swearword-riddled version of Spanish possible (with plenty of ancient slang I didn't know was slang thrown in). It was like:

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

I see your “Rocky swears like a sailor but only in pitches humans can’t hear/refuses to teach Grace what those words mean” and raise you “Rocky swears like a sailor and now has to explain to Grace that ‘bad bad bad’ isn’t actually a sequence you play on your Eridian speech piano in polite company.”

Grace is both horrified and amused to realise that a more accurate translation for what Rocky’s been saying is “shit shit shit”.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Eridian government representative: Greetings Rocky, Saviour of Erid, and Grace, Saviour from Beyond the Stars. We are pleased to welcome you home.

Grace, haltingly on the keyboard Rocky built for him: Wassup bitches. Fucking jazzed to—

Rocky: GRACE STOP TALKING NOW NOW NOW I EXPLAIN LATER

This pizza was made over here in Brazil and I’m happy to inform everyone that the method they used to get the toppings over the whole dough evenly is just slightly less funny than what the last poster in the thread suggested:

They hovered a guy over it using a crane and maneuvered him around by pushing him with a pole.

Sometimes, fanfiction is carefully plotted out stories, with plot points and call backs and themes that all tie it up in a meaningful and exciting way.

And sometimes fanfiction is, ‘Watch me do a fucking KICK FLIP off this cool sentence!! Also here's some sex'

Both are beautiful forms of writing.

Hiya <3 will you do a follow up of the Sinister Intents Fic? 👀

Sinister Intent is over, but I AM working on a new, deeply angsty Sinister fic. I’ve written three eps and loosely drafted two more… I just… need to draw a cover before I post it lol

Ghosts in the Mirror is going to center around an MC from a different universe—their Mark was one of the Marks that participated in the Invincible War—engaging in dark magic to tear a hole in reality to try to bring him home…

Only, when MC finally finds “Mark Grayson” in a decaying wasteland ten years after the Invincble War, he’s not the man MC remembers.

We’re going to explore Sinister being brought “home” to a world that’s not his own, where he’s trying to start a new life by taking over his variant’s.
