yr locked in a room alone with three adult men but you feel perfectly safe. who are they
I mean, I feel safe from them but I’m suddenly EXTREMELY worried about what shenanigans I’ve stumbled into
“These men mean me no harm”
“So you feel safe now?”
“Oh, absolutely not”
few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again
Someone mentioned on another tumblr post about how nobody complained that Agatha Christie wrote ANOTHER book about murder.
Write your story. Write it again. And again.
Okay but do you understand the TREASURE TROVE of reading a fic you enjoy and then looking at the author's page and discovering they have written multiple just like it?! That is the ultimate score!

Meme news: The Brazilian actress Renata Sorrah came out as bisexual at the age of 76
That's her, btw
She's an icon and also very talented. We Stan.
Diversity win! Icon for indecision comes out as bisexual!
Now we know what she was trying to figure out.
That’s awesome
She’s done it. She’s finally solved the equation.
Game Changer is now a precision puzzle-platformer.
I'm not actually sure this changes things very much.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) dir. Robert Wise
Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.
One thing that I seen Stampede Wolfwood often characterized as by folks is well... distant is probably the best word for it. Mopey. Averse. The sort of guy who you wouldn't catch asking for a hug on the worst day of his life.
But I don't think that's true. Or at least, not beyond being a front he puts up. And there's one scene that for me confirms it. Because when Vash gets shot in Julai, Wolfwood's first response isn't to attack back.
It's to run over, put an arm out for support, and check in on him. Only when Vash shows himself to be okay do we see Wolfwood tell these people to back the fuck off.
You could read motivation into this act of comfort. There's fuel here for shipping, or perhaps Wolfwood is that terrified of his boss's mark getting injured. But it does also pair nicely with another scene not a few minutes later.
"My body moves before I can think."
In the split second before someone gets hurt, Vash isn't considering whether or not he should help them. He just does. The desire to protect is something so deeply ingrained in his core that it has become pure instinct.
And I think it's the same with Wolfwood. The moment that he takes to put up that shield of unbothered-ness is a moment too late. Big brother Nico has already taken action.
And even when he's just messing around, for someone who is meant to be cold and uncaring, Wolfwood's suspiciously handsy. This scene between him and Meryl would not have the same affectionate 'bickering siblings' vibe if he didn't insist on throwing his arm around her.
He's trying to mask it here by being annoying, but there's affection here. Not just emotionally, but through physical touch. Proximity too - guy's not adverse to getting up in people's faces to nick (ha) stuff.
And even at his most hostile and snappy, well, there's no strict reason why he has to get so close to Vash and grab him by the shirt like this:
But is it really a surprise that Wolfwood's like this? After all, the flashback with Livio shows that he was absolutely an affectionate and caring kid, even if edgy-teenager logic would have it utterly mortifying to admit out loud. The Eye of Michael can try to beat it out of him all they want, but a desire for closeness isn't something you can just remove from someone. It may end up muted, sure, but deep down it will always still be there.
TL;DR Wolfwood is absolutely secretly the biggest cuddlebug on this godforsaken planet and you can't convince me otherwise.
To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself
reblog if you need a hug
Reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a much needed hug
I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.
I know i'm just a random person you follow online but I mean it. People (all kinds of marginalised people too!) Have survived all types of horrible times and managed to find happiness eventually. If for no one else, survive for them. And also, try to survive because the people making you despair don't want you to live. Don't give this to them. Don't give your life. The best thing you can do is cling to it with everything you've got. Lay in bed for a day if you have to. but please promise you won't hurt yourself.
Take screen breaks, (now more than ever!!) Meet up, Call your friends, call your family if you're on good terms. Spend time with pets. Text your favourite mutual you never speak to if you've got no one irl. Hell, log on a minecraft server if nothing else. Or rewatch your favourite show.
Make sure you eat enough and sleep enough, and take the meds and vitamins that you need. Don't believe anything you think if you're hungry and tired and have been scrolling too long.
Get a therapy appointment if you think you need it.
You can absolutely not take any shortcuts when it comes to your wellbeing right now.

Everything feels awful right now but it isn't really. We still don't officially have a winner, but regardless of how the presidential election ends up, I wanted to take a minute and find what lights I can in the 3 a.m. darkness. Here's what I know:
* Kentucky overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to undermine the public education system by offering private school vouchers:
Amendment 2 to allow public funds to go to private and charter school education was rejected universally in Kentucky counties when the Assoc
* Delaware has elected a transgender woman to the House of Representatives, the first out trans person of any gender ever elected to congress:
McBride wins Delaware’s at-large House seat against Republican candidate John Whalen III, a former state police officer
* For the first time in history, two Black women will be serving in the senate at the same time, and they are only the fourth and fifth Black women ever elected to the senate:
Democrats Lisa Blunt Rochester from Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland both saw victories
* New York State has passed a constitutional amendment enshrining the rights of pregnant people (including the right to an abortion), LGBTQIA+ people, the disabled, immigrants regardless of legal status, and other at-risk groups:
The constitutional amendment faced a tougher-than-expected fight after a right-wing campaign against anti-discrimination protections.
* Democrat Josh Stein has beaten self-avowed Nazi Mark Robinson to become governor of North Carolina:
Stein is the current attorney general and he noted his work winning opioid settlements. But it was controversy over Robinson’s inflammatory
That's everything I know off the top of my head. It's not many bright spots, but it's not zero. I'm going to try to find more and I'll add them to the post. It's the only thing I can think of to do that isn't sobbing and throwing up or looking up Canadian immigration rules.
If you know more good news, I encourage you to add it in reblogs.
* Nevada has amended their constitution to guarantee abortion rights, overturning a state ban:
Get live results and maps from the 2024 Nevada general election.
* Colorado has passed amendment 79, guaranteeing the right to an abortion, with more than a 20 point spread between the Yes and No vote:
This means that now, the right to an abortion is codified into the state constitution and a future state legislature cannot restrict it.
* Maryland Question 1, also focused on reproductive rights and abortion, has passed as well: https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/results/maryland/issue-1
Question 1 on the Maryland ballot offers voters the choice to enshrine reproductive rights in the state’s constitution. View the 2024 ballot
* Likewise, Amendment 3 has passed in Missouri, overturning a near-total ban to add reproductive rights to the state constitution:
Missourians voted to enshrine reproductive health rights into the state’s constitution Tuesday by voting yes on Amendment 3.
* Arizona Proposition 139 to protect abortion rights also passed:
Get live results and maps from the 2024 Arizona general election.
Every glimmer helps.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
* New Jersey has elected the first Korean-American senator in history:
Democratic U.S. Rep. Andy Kim was elected Tuesday to the U.S. Senate, defeating Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw for the seat that opene
