Re: that post that said “pro shippers die faster than TERFs”; that’s so revealing, isn’t it? That they think pro shippers (who I’m not convinced half these people even know the definition of anymore) are worse than TERFs. I bet if JK Rowling said “pro shippers should die” antis would start giving Harry Potter the “perhaps I was too hard on you” treatment and start stanning Jowling Kowling just to spite proshippers.

just a little! as a treat! please! it’s still winter it’s not too late!

on [2 grump 2 furious] @imkirb said: objectively these high temps suck cus global warming, but ngl i like the heat much more than cold so im kinda grateful fjgjgh

that is totally valid, living in a place where the weather is Not For You sucks regardless of what type of weather you prefer. (and really the unseasonable cold is also a symptom of climate change, the jet stream that tends to keep the cold arctic air to canada and the northern us is becoming more unstable and more able to wobble waaay down south compared to where it’s previously been, that’s likely what caused those massive ice storms at the end of december)

@ceylonsilvergirl added a [caption] to [shrug] that says “time to say FUCK IT!”

sometimes you really do just gotta say fuck it.

on [facedown] @passiveturmoil said: me after losing family scrabble

I’m very bad at scrabble, and anything involving anagrams etc. my brain sees the letters in one order and goes “I mean like that is probably a word” and just leaves them there.

on [ladybug] @hobgirl said: i have some very good memories of ladybugs, which are supposed to be good luck, showing up when i was incredibly sad. but some of those memories are tainted by the ladybug dying shortly after. still though. still

that’s very sweet :’) but even the ones that didn’t live long got to share a tiny bit of their little bug life with you and I think that’s still something to be happy about.

on [vision] @chaosinanutshell said: WAHAHHAHA monocular vision kirbo, he just like me, one braincell left gang frfr. hope ur day has been good! definitely cheered me up :>

thank you! I don’t remember if it was at the time or not. (today is okay though. our other partner gave us the info for their plane tickets for next month and after I finish catching up on the little things I’ve put off I get to play more lego game.)

on [:<] @gidguard said: blog content as advertised by the user name, love to see it

what can I say I value truth in advertising

on [isekai] @northeasternwind said: SLIDES IN WITH MY USELESS KNOWLEDGE the reason for the absurd titles is because most of these are published as novels first on a specific website..... which does not allow authors to write a summary, description or synopsis. so you literally have to choose what to read based on the cover art and the title alone. (sidenote, my favorite type of Isekai is otome Isekai, with the more specific subgenre of villainess Isekai, in which the main character is reincarnated as the villainess of an otome game and then proceeds to girlboss her way into happiness. Unfortunately, only a couple of them have the OG heroine actually be a decent person :c) also I'm sure we know this but Kirby and the Forgotten Land is of course an Isekai. 😂😂😂 oh this is not me trying to change your mind by the way I'm just infodumping in the replies because this post activated my brain oops. you may even know all this already 😂 apologie

lol you are totally fine, I love it when people are excited about stuff! I’ve seen a lot of villainess otome isekai being officially translated into english lately, so it’s good your favorite subgenre is so well fed right now (at least in the english-reading market), even if it’s still hard to find the ones that fit just the right niche.

katfl falls into the same isekai niche as a gentle noble’s vacation recommendation (at least as far as the first volume lol) in which neither the home world nor the otherworld are basically the real earth modern day. one could argue that katfl’s otherworld is still earth, I’m p sure many have, but as it’s a distant future earth it’s really not the same thing imo. (I do not personally like when one of the worlds involved is basically real earth modern day.)

on [goo] @hobgirl said: i know this is abt chronic illness, but summer also.

it can be about whatever makes you feel like you’re slowly dissolving into a pile of goo, that’s how art works -u-

on [goo] @northeasternwind said: /gathers you both up and sets you  in a nice breathable supportive pillow fort :(

that sounds so nice ty ;n;

(and thank you to @ceylonsilvergirl, @opportunity-strikes, @macro-microcosm, and @0-jayless-0 for the well wishes on [sick], and my condolences to the person who reblogged it with “MOOD AGAIN” XD I may never be truly Well, but at least I am much less nauseous for now!)

on [lego] @ceylonsilvergirl​ said: this is a situation I’ve found myself in with my son multiple times. thank goodness they’re nontoxic

yeah good thing they tried to plan ahead for that. (this reminds me of that one post that’s like “what would you do if you had a box with a little bit of god in it? well that box is your body stop eating markers.” lol)

on [lego] @jeaniechibi​ said: i get the urge to eat them as well buddy with how shiny and yellow they are; but there's better actual cheese out there! so which lego games will you get? 👀 i loved lego star wars as a kid and lego H*rry Potter! (before i learned that JKR is. y'know. like that)

I used to bite them to pull stubborn pieces apart, like those little flat blocks.

my wife and I bought lego hp years ago and then stopped playing it when jkr decided to dump her whole public image in the toilet for good (and cuz the split screen in the second half was making me nauseous >n< ), cuz it really destroyed my wife’s relationship with the series. (personally I’m of the opinion that while it is genuinely important and valuable to be aware of a creator’s Terrible Opinions and not just sweep them under the rug because they made a thing you like, you’re not like, ethically required to publicly disavow the thing and burn every tie you ever had to it. I grew up with hp, and while as an adult it’s much easier for me to see how her assorted Terrible Opinions made their way into the series and that the whole thing is overall pretty mediocre at best, I still have a lot of affection for the time I spent with it and some fandom works and so on and I don’t think it actually helps anyone to throw that away or pretend it isn’t true. but then again I also grew up deeply enjoying orson scott card books while knowing (and hating) full well even at the time that he was homophobic, so maybe I just have more practice at letting my affection for a piece of art and my disdain for the artist coexist without either one swallowing up the other.)

so, anyway, we already had a copy of lego hp that was like half finished so I 100%ed that during the beginning portion of this month since not playing it doesn’t affect whether or not she got paid for it years ago, then a couple days ago I bought lego city undercover which I’m having a lot of fun with (although some of the humor there too has uhhhhh Aged Poorly we’ll say). I’ve played the versions of lego star wars and lego indiana jones that were on the ds and enjoyed them a lot but I have trouble playing handhelds now with my vision and joint issues, and my wife said we can get the new version of lego star wars to play together instead but she hasn’t quite gotten around to it yet lol. I think I’ll get the dc and marvel ones too, even though I don’t personally care much for superhero stuff, just cuz I really really like lego gameplay and they’re on a really really good sale. (and we’re in kind of a holding pattern until mid-march when we find out where my wife has to move for work next so. might as well do nothing but keep up with bare minimum chores and play lego games until then.) maybe even the lego movie 2 game, just cuz. more lego gameplay. they’re good for me to have on hand I think, especially when they’re 80% off XD

anonymous said: I legit just wanna thank you for being my favorite part of the day. Fr im experiencing artist rage and the kirby helps me relax so much

I am glad the gorb can bring you some peace -u- sometimes you just gotta look at a cute little guy and the things that you were angry about become a little more manageable! (not always. but sometimes!)

anonymous said: Kirby can just be there and my day will be brighten instantly.

best quality: the joy he brings

also I received a drawing in the askbox that I will hop to the top of the reblob queue :>

You. Nuance now.

You can like shit that has problematic shit in it, without being a bad person. You don't have to give me a list of EVERY bad thing a piece of media you enjoy does, & why it's bad, but it DOES help to be mindful of that shit. You're allowed to enjoy your bad thing. You don't have to explain it or qualify it to anyone -- you know it's bad, we all know it's bad.

That said, if you watch something with bad shit, people will indeed judge you, or want you to not talk about your thing, or may even avoid you/block you for posting about it. While I know that feels bad, it's just a fact, bud. Those people don't directly want to hurt you, they just feel real strongly, & I think they're allowed to feel that, & I think they're allowed to act on that, to a certain point.

FURTHERMORE, there is a fucking line that you do not, do not, do NOT cross! Where that is will be different for most people, & fuzzy for all. For me, I can tolerate a lot of shit, but another person may not. I also think there is a definitive line you don't cross, which is media that is actively hurting somebody. I find it helpful to ask, "Is consuming this thing harmful? Can I hurt somebody this way?" I.E. you buy the queen terf antisemitism & transphobia game, beaming money DIRECTLY into the queen terf 's bank account, which sh has publicly, VERBALLY said she treats as a person accepting her shit beliefs, & she will then use the money to lobby horrendous bills. You are not enjoying garbage, at this point. You are actively doing something wrong, & you fucking know it, & I don't have the time nor the desire to waste another single goddam breath on telling you that any further.

I am not saying that you are required to go invest in problematic things. I am not saying you need to see something you KNOW will upset you. I am saying you are allowed to keep a list of media that you will never, ever touch, that you hate enough that you will not even talk to somebody about it. I am saying you can block a person over liking a piece of shit media you fucking hate. I am saying you can have a list of things that bug you so badly, that you immediately drop something just for having it, & you don't have to qualify anything on that list to me, or explain why -- you can just avoid that thing -- that's just fine. I am saying you can like something with bad shit in it, & I promise you do NOT need to give me a 5k words essay on why it's bad -- this isn't school, you're not getting Oops I Like Something Bad 😞😔 homework.

I am saying you are human. You are meat & bone, with a bit of electricity running through it. You are fallable. You are allowed to like something that isn't good. You do not have to be forever pure, forever flawless marble, because you are not made of stone, & even if you were, marble is worn down & away, with time. Nothing is infallible or perfect, in this world, & that's nice, actually.

I'm also saying, what a fucking miserable way to go through life, seeing everything that is not perfectly pristine as a sin, as a crime, as something that even an association with makes you guilty. There's so many things to see, to read, to watch, to share, & you're being FUCKING CATHOLIC ABOUT IT??? DO I NEED TO REPENT?? FOR LIKING SOMETHING NOT 10000% CLEAN?? SHOULD I PAY MY FUCKING TITHES OR JUST GET THE LASHES. GRABS YOU. MAIMS.

some people say "well it sucks that JKR is transphobic but stop giving her a platform, just ignore her! she's not that powerful"

trans people and a few allies ignoring her will not deplatform her

think how many people had their lives shaped and changed by harry potter

think how many people have a deep emotional attachment to her books

think how many times she's shown her colors before, and yet people still admire her/buy her shit/etc

she has power and is using it to endanger the lives of transfeminine people

this danger is real and simply ignoring her won't make it stop

[aspen--glow]

You said you wanted to punch jk Rowling and I have a question. If her husband had slapped her because she was a terf would that have made it ok? Domestic violence is bad, but surely if you want to punch her the fact that he got there first should be a good thing to you right? If he’d slapped her because she was a transphobe that would’ve been morally justified right?

you realize you're just making shit up right

abusers aren't abusers because they're the overzealous leftists self righteous trans folks you're so scared of, but because they want to exert power over someone else. even if they claimed it was for some cause, that's just a flimsy excuse

now I'm a trans person who has no relationship with jkr. she is not in a place of vulnerability with me. I have no financial or emotional power of her. her transphobic rhetoric hurts people like me and my trans sisters. she has a huge platform and is incredibly influential. if she spewed her bs in my face or the face of one of my trans siblings, i think I'd be justified in popping her one on the nose

don't equate trans people's fight for respect to domestic abuse. that's shitty to us and also to victims of domestic abuse.
