Carry On

Hi, I'm Ace! I'm demisexual and agender (they/them) and this is my blog. It's a bunch of random fandom things, my thoughts and my drabbles/doodles. Can't promise anything particularly wonderful or regular, so take it or leave it. Common posts include:...

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

I think this is something young people in particular are confused about. My dad has always had a slightly off color sense of humor, he always feels the need to privately ask me “boy turned girl or girl turned boy?” if I mention a friend and stress said friend’s pronouns, and yet when we had repair work done in the house and the worker was listening to a podcast discussing the evils of transgender people and how to cleanse society, he went out of his way to contact the owner of the business to discuss his disappointment with that worker’s conduct and stress the negative effect that could have had if there had been trans kids in our home.

Our allies will never be perfect. They will never use the perfect language or have the perfect politics. But we have to appreciate those allies and meet them where they are, especially if they are willing to learn.

I absolutely love that the Pokémon universe is literally tearing itself apart at the seams. Fantastic worldbuilding, A+++

[pixelartpeach]

A non-exhaustive list:

Mega Evolution comes from a meteor. The impact of that meteor literally split the dimensions apart and made it canonical that different versions of the same game are parallel dimensions (Alpha Ruby is a different world from Ruby, for instance). This is later confirmed by the presence of Anabel in Sun and Moon, who fell through dimensions from a world without Mega Evolution.

Speaking of Sun and Moon, wormholes are opening up all over Alola, letting in extradimensional beings that Pokéballs don't catch properly. There are silver-skinned humans from one of these portals that live in a giant prismatic city.

Also in Sun/Moon, you can pass through to a mirror world where day is night and night is day. When this happens, you can catch the mirror world version of your box legendary friend.

There's a giant space alien in Sword and Shield who's leaking particles that cause Pokémon to briefly turn massive, which sometimes rearranges their genetic makeup.

In Scarlet and Violet, reality is splintering. There's a hole to the future/past that generates paradox Pokémon which are heavily implied to have been materialized out of a researcher's desire to see them rather than actually from their future/past. The same energy that supposedly made them enables Pokémon to become any type they want and caused a robot to gain human sentience.

In the hole you find the paradox Pokémon in, you find buried monoliths that nobody knows where they came from. The very material they're made of is canonically unidentifiable.

Time and space were briefly unraveled in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum as a maniac tried to overwrite the current world and make a new universe out of it, and in the Platinum universe, this opened a hole to another dimension where a banished god lives. The banished god was pissed off about this and abducted the guy that messed with time and space.

People sometimes slip through the cracks and become Pokémon in Pokémon-only worlds (the Mystery Dungeon series) or drop through time to different eras (Legends Arceus's protagonist and Ingo).

In Mystery Dungeon, time is eroding (Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky), and the world is warping and distorting into areas that scramble themselves every time you enter them and make the inhabitants of those areas agitated and hostile (entire series).

Imagine being a tuna (Atlantic bluefin, Thunnus thynnus). You are a super predator, over six feet long and almost a ton. You are as beautiful and shiny and mercilessly efficient as a sports car, a true marvel of the sea. But you taste so fucking good

[bishopfish-deactivated20250220]

I agree with you and also think this is some kind of philosophical point. Cruel efficiency will not save you when you have soft delicious insides

i have good news for the person who wrote that tag and bad news for sports car drivers

They’re also at the center of a roundabout

[anielka-ela-deactivated20211103]

Mexican here, fun fact! While we call them “Dancing dogs”, they’re a young pup and an old dog, and the older one is revealing wisdoms right on the pup’s ear.

You’ll recognize the older dog bc he’s got wrinkles!! It’s a wonderful scene!!

[dishwasherfish]

I think we should bring back that thing everyone did in 2014 where you badly photoshop two characters from entirely different media together to look like they’re in love. This is my proposal for doc ock x glados please consider

Read some actual comics, Kyle.

Superman is an incredibly kind and tender character. (If he’s not being written that way, then he’s not being written well.) He inspires hope not just through his heroics, but also through his kindness toward other people. That’s his thing. Don’t you DARE call tenderness a “weakness.” Get your toxic masculinity the hell away from me and go read a badly written Batman comic if you want a “tough” male character.

[krinsbez]

Why on EARTH would someone think Superman being tough and Superman being kind are contradictory?

[seriousfic]

Is that a Snyder fan telling someone that “you’re wrecking the character, create something new instead of making an interpretation that’s so off-base”?

Because Snyder is the guy who wanted the Greek Gods to all be Kryptonians and the Amazons to be descended from them.

[simon-newman]

Where's that comic where Superman comforts Billy?

[da-boy-o-kultur]

I saw that tweet by Gunn and thought “So, like regular Superman?”

Kyle sounds like Lex Luthor who believed that Superman doesn’t have a Civilian identity because such a godlike being would see it as beneath him. Also here you go @simon-newman​

That's not just for acting, that's life advice. Seriously deep wisdom right there.

[sunder-the-gold]

Only the strong can be gentle, because the weak don’t have the option of causing harm. Gentleness is the virtue that Superman can best exemplify, by being so strong that the only thing stopping him is himself.

[demi-shoggoth]

I am so glad that someone who actually likes Superman is writing Superman now

[my-random-fandoms]

Superman has literally always been gentle and tender.

The poster above beat me to it with Peter Cullen's brother Larry. Larry didn't think a whole lot of his younger brother's line of work, because honestly acting and voice acting is a hard way to make a living, especially in the early 1980s. But he needed to borrow Larry's car to get to the audition, and Larry decided to give his brother some advice.

"If you're gonna be a hero, be a real hero. Don't be one of those Hollywood pretenders, don't go yelling and screaming and pretending you're a tough guy. Be strong enough to be gentle."

Here's the thing about Larry Cullen: Larry Cullen had seen things. He'd seen war and death and the atrocities that men commit upon each other. He was a U.S. Marine Captain during the Vietnam War decorated for battlefield courage (bronze star and two purple hearts). He'd lead men into battle and everything that comes with that. He knew what he was talking, and he'd learned it the hard way.

Superman is cut from the same mold as that. He's strong enough he doesn't need to be a tough guy. Yes, he can literally move mountains, but he's the kindest, gentlest man you've ever met. The thing with Superman to remember, at least from my view, is that Superman is a facade that Clark puts up. Because he's just Clark, and even without the powers... he wouldn't change a single thing in his actions.
