My running theory for why we weren't graced with dragon god!byleth is because dimitri would be completely inconsolable about how beautiful he is and queer dimitri would have been too powerful for the story to contain

I'm trying to hold my judgement until the new series is actually out but I'm having some trigun stampede opinions:

boyband Vash is growing on me. still seems to be appropriately noodly and goofy

where's wolfwood's tiddies? why is he white? where's his nose? Who is this sassy, lost child?

Where's best girl Milly!!!??

No one is asking you to do a history check on every post you reblog, but if you see a post that seems off, or if it's saying something that makes you think "well yeah, of course/not!" or something along those lines; just click through to check the OP's tags to see if it might secretly be some exclusionary garbage.

Think about it like this: during the height of the ace discourse days you would often see posts going around (especially during june) about how straight/cishet people didn't need Pride, or how cishets who didn't want to see gay people kissing/loving each other at Pride weren't welcome.

And many, many people agreed! Those posts got thousands of notes, filled with cries of how homophobes should die, and how they weren't welcome at Pride, and questions of why anyone would even go to Pride if they didn't want to see people kissing.

And I'll tell you something. It's because those posts were never about homophobic cishet people. They were always about ace and aro people. Exclusionsts are so very fond of calling us straight and cishet, and so those were the words they used to get people to agree with them. Because on a site like tumblr that is overflowing with angry, reactionary people, it's easy to make your true meanings and intentions fly under the radar as long as you use the correct social justice language.

And every aspec person saw those posts and knew they were about us, and watched people we trusted, many of whom had previously claimed to support us, loudly and proudly agree with this hateful, exclusionary rhetoric. And we felt a little bit less safe every time.

Please. Just 30 seconds is all it takes to make sure you aren't inadvertently harming someone

I love mdimileth scenarios where they're both completely and utterly shameless about how in love they are with each other. Like you didn't think it was possible for people to actually pronounce the heart eyes when talking to or about each other, it's insufferable

[roronoazs]

Love when you see a post about a completely unrelated subject and you just /know/ that OP is an exclusionist

Boyfriend Dungeon is out now so I guess I'm obligated to make weapon/wielder AUs for everything

I've started reading the whyborne & griffin series and I appreciate that whyborne is like the epitome of the "I'd follow you to the ends of the earth with only mild complaint" friend/partner

Neil Roronoazs’ horror podcast rec list 2021 - Part 1

I love horror, it’s one of my favourite genres. If you’re like me however, and find much of the assorted mainstream horror media unpalatable, there’s always podcasts! Many avid podcasts listeners know about such offerings as The Magnus Archives, Archive 81, and Alice Isn’t Dead and for good reason. But I’d like to offer a selection of my favourite lesser known horror and audio drama podcasts so they can get the recognition they deserve. And so I’ll have other people to talk about them with because the fandoms are small or completely nonexistent please help I’m dying.

This ended up being quite long, so I’ve chosen to split it up and also put everything under a cut. Enjoy!

Wrong Station. You may wish to adjust the dial, you are currently tuned into the Wrong Station. A horror anthology podcast created by Alexander Saxton, Anthony Botelho, and Jacob Duarte Spiel, and is styled like a series of old radio plays. Each episode features a standalone story ranging from unsettling and creepy, to ‘keeps you looking over your shoulder on the bus ride home’ terrifying, to “would that be messed up or what?”, all narrated by Anthony and a rotating cast of other Toronto based voice actors. They have a website (wrongstation/.com - without the slash), where listeners can find content warnings and full transcripts for each episode. They also have a patreon, and can be found on facebook, twitter and instagram under “Wrong Station” or “TheWrongStation”.

The White Vault. Travel not advised. A found footage horror fiction audio drama created by Fool & Scholar Productions, it follows the events of a repair team sent to a remote research station in Svalbard, Norway where they explore the horrors that lie in the farthest reaches of the world. Featuring a multinational team of vocal talents, and some of the best sound design I’ve encountered in several years of listening to horror podcasts, it makes the terror that much more visceral. They have a website (thewhitevault/.com) and a patreon, where listeners can find full episode transcripts for free. The main podcast is a serial, so it is recommended that you listen from season 1, episode 1: Fristed, but they also have two standalone miniseries The White Vault: Artifact and The White Vault: Imperial, that can be listened to without hearing the rest of the podcast, though I would personally recommend listening to the main series first so you get the full experience. Each miniseries collection costs $15 but is well worth the price. I listened to Artifact in one sitting in broad daylight and was terrified for the rest of the day.

Hello From the Hallowoods. We go now to a stretch of woods not unlike where I spent my childhood. Guided by our beloved host, Nikignik, this broadcast follows a group of LGBTQ+ survivors as they deal with the wildlife, nameless terrors, nameful terrors, beings beyond comprehension, the Instrumentalist, and personal journeys in the forest at the end of the world. Written and produced by William A. Wellman, who also provides the vocal talent for Nikignik, Hallowoods is an episodic horror podcast featuring snapshots of various characters in the titular Hallowoods. Each broadcast centers around a specific theme, often with underlying themes of existential horror and dystopia, as well as queer love, identity and experience. It makes for a delightfully creepy and deeply heartfelt show that I can’t fully express my enjoyment of. It is recommended that listeners start from Season 1: Episode 1 - Keys, in order to get the full experience of the show. There is a website (hellofromthehallowoods/.com), a patreon, a tumblr @hellofromthehallowoods (hello Mx. Wellman! your work has kept me good company while I become a bus station cryptid), and can also be found on facebook, twitter, instagram, and youtube. Full episode transcripts and content warnings are available on the website.
