ugh the whole "queer is a slur uwu" bs is like every single goddamn word used to describe someone who is NOT hetero has been used as a slur, derogatorily, as an insult. Growing up in the 90s as a kid, then a teen in the early 2000s, GAY was used an insult, "you're so gay", "that's so gay," "ew don't be gay" were COMMON phrases slung at people.

Fag, homo, queer, fairy, limp wrist, gay, dyke, lesbo, were all used against folk.

So sure if YOU personally prefer not to be called a word, that's your right, but you have NO right to tell ME what I prefer to be called.

And also academically, there is queer theory, queer history etc. which is still used. A lot of people switch between queer or LGBTQA+ but even that using the whole alphabet has controversy. Like there has been SO much debate what the Q and A even stand for and mean different things to different people.

Queer is an umbrella term that has been used since the 1990s.

If you don't like it, then don't use it, but don't be a fucking COP ABOUT IT.

having many thoughts about Dain today

I've been reading a bunch of fics with Dain in them lately, and it's got me feeling like fanon Dain isn't enough of a chad- especially regarding his relationship with Bilbo.

Like, I've read so many fics that have Dain dislike bilbo- whether because he doesn't like hobbits, or Bilbo in particular, or disapproves of Bilbo's closeness to Thorin etc., but its pretty clear in the books that Dain likes Bilbo! and thinks he's super awesome!

I'm not sure how this got turned around? maybe he makes a good scapegoat- perhaps having an even bigger jerk makes Thorin look better? (sorry Thorin but it's true) Anyway, I don't know for sure, but there's about one million characters in LOTR u can pick to be an asshole- but Dain shouldn't be in there XD

Especially regarding Bilbo! like, Dain did SO MUCH for Bilbo- even when he barely knew him!

Looking at the events in LOTR, as told by Gimli in the council of Elrond, we can see that even 60ish years after only meeting Bilbo once, he still cared greatly about his safety.

Gimli tells everyone about how Sauron sent black riders to Erebor, and the riders were basically like “i'll give you THREE dwarven rings of power, and MORIA if u tell me where Bilbo Baggins is.” and Dain, the chad he is, was like “umm, no” and sent Gimli and Gloin to WARN BILBO! He fucking waged war against THE GREATEST EVIL EVER- refusing literally the greatest gifts that could possible be offered to dwarves, for like, the safety of a hobbit. especially after ALL the dwarves have been through to get back Moria!! Dain was in the battle of Azanulbizar (aka the battle to reclaim Moria)!!

And yet he refused!

TBH of the great figures in middle earth his track record is actually amazing- like, so many Kings in LOTR history have fallen pray to Sauron's will. DAIN? The dwarf? A race known in middle earth for greed? He wouldn’t stand for it! Stood up to Sauron for a hobbit! I cant get over it.

Additionally he's SO honorable! Dain DIED in the war of the ring- fighting alongside Brand, Bard's grandson. He signed his death certificate because he stood up to Sauron- and paid for it with his life to help the men. He literally died PROTECTING Brand's body!! Additionally the only reason all the men of Dale lived is because they were given protection by seeking refuge in Erebor.

Also even disregarding the events of LOTR- he is EXPLICITLY nice to Bilbo!! Dain says to Bilbo after the battle of five armies: “'This treasure is yours as much as it is mine... I should hope that the words of Thorin, of which he repented, should not prove true: that we should give you little. I would reward you most richly of all.'" -Dain in "The Return Journey" He gave Bard a fourteenth share!! MORE RICHLY THAN THAT? THAT’S A LOTTA GOLD FOR ONE HOBBIT!

This is, I think, the only explicit dialogue ever exchanged between Bilbo and Dain, and it's pretty obvious he respects Bilbo. So it makes me sad when fanon Dain is like "get out of our mountain Bilbo" XD

maybe i'm just picky, maybe i'm too "traditional", maybe i have unreasonable standards but why is it so hard to keep and make girl friends nowadays?

the list of reasons why i've stopped being friends with the people i knew for years are: they are too boy crazy, priorities out of whack, they're friends with people who have done horrible things to women, are friends with people who have horrible manners and morals

why it's so hard to make friends with many people is because their hands are constantly glued to their phone, they open their mouth and you can tell right off the bat they parrot opinions they hear on tiktok and mask it as their own, this aesthetic- that aesthetic, have a partner and make them their only focus (if my partner is free, then i'm free. hey, let's finally hang out after 4 months!! or oh sorry, i have to cancel, my partner xyz- whatever lame last minute plan came up) and aren't consistent with real life connections and can only uphold friendships through text

Bro, posting on twitter is literally so pointless, like ZERO attention XD I came back here, put my Wesper comic page up, added the usual tags and suddenly it was everywhere and ppl found my blog and actually talk to me (ILY <33) .istg how is twitter so popular, either you have 30k followers as artist there or -40, don't get me started how hard formatting sucks there, stuff is always ugly croped.

The only reason I'll put some of my art there too, is so I can fuel the the SaB and SoC tags a bit. But exposure, heck non existent if you are not blessed to be retweeted by a popular person.

Maaaan I FEEL that video of Dale.

I saved up enough coins to do a 10 pull gacha. I got no gold. Two silver, and the rest bronze. I got a stupid rat, Angelo, two of the guy with the useless guilt lock stand, that vampire in Battle Tendency that Lisa Lisa kills immediatly, fricken Nukesaku, Enyaba, Koichi act 1, that kid in Diamond is Unbreakable with the wood stand, and I don’t even remember the last it was probably Speedwagon again. While I like Speedwagon as a character he is a BRONZE pull.

By the way every single character I pulled was a repeat, I already had all of them. The rates in this game honestly really make me mad but there’s really nothing I can do about it but save up and try again. -_-

The clowning continues, my friends!
