Tell me a tale of yourself so that i may know thee @strange-as-it-may-seem - Tumblr Blog

Hi!

I’m J (they/he). I’m in my 20s.

I am a queer, trans, genderqueer man (?).

look folks, I agree that james ortiz is a cutie, HOWEVER In my humble opinion, human!Rocky should look like a LotR dwarf. Short and stocky, full of tats and metals, built so solid his biceps feel like solid rock (pun intended)

they've watched it before, but Rocky still gets very upset when Wall-E loses his memories🥺

SAVED TO PRIVATE ALVUM

at least now we know why he has yet to return when Britain is in peril

We need a flick where King Arthur wakes in modern Jamaica and is very confused.

byjove

I think that would be so much funny. He wakes up on a remote beach in Jamaica and he only speaks/understands Brythonic and Medieval Latin. Locals assume he was a tourist who fell from a cruise ship or received a head injury and floated away from a resort. The authorities cannot match his description to any missing persons reports and his fingerprints and DNA produce no hits on INTERPOL. They suspect he may be Welsh or French because the language he speaks resembles Welsh or Breton but France and the UK both state he is not a citizen of their country. Stateless and deeply confused, he is taken in by the community near the beach where he was found, being cared for by a number of local families and doing odd jobs. He slowly learns English and adjusts to the contemporary world, uncertain if his belief that he is the legendary King Arthur was formed by whatever traumatic event caused him to end up Jamaica or if he is actually King Arthur and Prydain is in eminent peril. Mysterious letters from Morgan begin to reaffirm his belief he is King Arthur. He must choose between staying in Jamaica and continuing the happy life he has made for himself or finding a way to get back to Britain without any documentation.

ancient king white boy stuns locals by ordering in perfect Jamaican Patois

byjove

He gets to Britain and everyone expects him to sound like a posh noble Englishman because that is the picture Malory painted but he prefers to speak Welsh and when he has to speak English, he speaks with a thick Jamaican accent.

also the way he pulls britain out of said peril really pisses off the right wingers, at least in part because he recognises that he cannot do it alone and chooses those he trusts (his jamaican community) as his knights

Absolutely, Guinevere is the Jamaican nurse who took him in in this universe and many of his friends in the Jamaican community that took him in are analogous with/reincarnations of common characters from Arthurian mythology. Except for Merlin. Who is the original Merlin. Who is living a retiree lifestyle in The Bahamas for plot and wizard foresight reasons.

byjove

Unrelated side note, I love slipping in an occasional Prydain in place of Britain just to remind everyone King Arthur was not English. The landmass is Ynys Prydein to him. ☝️

When we un-packed it, the Paris curator was embarrassed to discover lipstick marks on its cheek: someone in the Louvre had played at being Pygmalion—or Hadrian—and kissed it. And who could blame them? Up on a pedestal, center stage, the effect of its beauty was jaw-dropping.

in case folk outside the UK aren't abreast of our news, the British press just hounded a black academic to death

key-pair

a rough timeline of events (from memory, there may be inaccuracies, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic

the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal

this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately

somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large

following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor

today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea

the British tabloid press remains, and will always be, fucking evil

⚠️⚠️⚠️THIS IS A SCAM, DON'T FALL FOR IT⚠️⚠️⚠️

The three people leading this study are

1. Lisa littman, the person who created the idea of ROGD (Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria), the idea that people become transgender through outside influences rather than being born trans.

2. J. Michael bailey, author of "The Man Who Would Be Queen: The Science of Gender Bending and Transsexualism" a book supporting among other things) ray blanchard's idea of autogynephilia, the idea that trans women transition as some sort of fetish thing.

3. Kenneth j. Zucker, who, up until 2015, ran a conversion therapy clinic.

Needless to say, they are shitty people.
