SIMPLE GUIDE:

Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life. EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc

Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe. EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc

NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person. *AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.

A thing that no one tells you is that when you turn 34, you'll start to have thoughts like 'ooh, it's been a while since I heard Vivaldi's Four Seasons played live by a string quartet,' and 'gosh, maybe this weekend I'll see if there's a string quartet performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons,' and 'golly, I simply can't get that really twiddly bit of Summer from Vivaldi's Four Seasons out of my head, that man certainly knew how to compose an earworm or two, and it's been stuck in my brain ever since I saw it played live by a string quartet for the fifth time, or possibly the sixth,' and this is a universal experience that happens to everyone the moment they turn 34, 100% of the time, and if you've turned 34 and you think it hasn't happened to you yet, then you're just plain wrong

Primitivism has gotta be one of the worst ideologies of all time. Hey what if everything was objectively worse for everybody? Not to mention it's doomed to never actually make progress or achieve anything at all. Then there's the fundamental hypocrisy and vibes-based definition of "technology" in the first place.

Phone bad. Bombs good. Internet bad. Agriculture good. Medicine bad. We've got herbs and shit. You say herbs are just a form of medicine? Well its different! Because the vibes!!! Also, my idea of a "primitive society" happens to be based on my misunderstandings of the pre colonial world. Don't ask why.

Someone somewhere is the best in the world at sucking dick and it's meaningless. They aren't famous. There's no prize. It's not a competition. None of us are competitors. You don't have anything to prove. All that matters is that you keep sucking. Maybe we can even suck on it together.

People will correctly identify that heteronormativity is a problem in old historiography and then immediately turn around and insist that two people must be having sex based on transgressive social intimacy. Then say something like "because sex is a human need for fulfillment."

Ah if only there was more than one kind of normativity to keep in mind....

[kaiserin-erzsebet]

This isn't exclusive to same sex attraction or love either. Anyone who digs into Empress Elisabeth's writings enough will find pretty clear statements about being apathetic (or disinclination) to physical intimacy and fulfillment from totally separate parts of her life.

We can't assume that people's highest fulfillment comes from having sex with the people they love. I wish we could have more nuance about this.

[virtuevistavalley]

Natural disasters! I never see anyone talk about that one and as a result I spent years thinking that watching my hometown get destroyed on the news and subsequently having to uproot my entire life at the age of seven wasn't Real Trauma because there was no Abuser™

It would have been easy to let the trolley run its course.

It would have been easy to pretend that there is no lever.

It would have been easy to keep him.

But someone needed to make the right choice.

Someone needed to be brave.

And Ryland Grace is a coward.

———————————————————

She had to make the right choice because Grace is a coward and wouldn’t let her make a good choice. Instead of being able to send a hero off to space, Grace made her send a victim.

What a situation. Everyone betrayed everyone by consistently being the person they never pretended they weren’t.

Stratt really is the embodiment of the hero who would not save you in favor of saving the world.

Oops all Gwen's

Only Gwen’s in 616 don’t talk to me about variants

Anyway y’all better appreciate my Gwen posting because I actually have to lock in on summer school now.

[its-bread-bitch]

Big fan of college party animal Ryland “it’s been a long time since I took a pill from a stranger without knowing what it was” Grace who is a notorious menace.

Big fan of high academia Dr Ryland “will call you a staggering waste of carbon” Grace who is a short tempered, egotistical, and kind of a jerk.

Big fan of how Ryland Grace can be both these things but while still having his same fundamental personality as a good person and wet cat.

Big fan of how it’s generally agreed that teaching burned the evil out of him and let his whimsy shine.

Big fan of how it took arguably the most difficult and deranged demographic of the human population (thirteen year olds) to turn that man into the best version of himself.

Here's some straight malarky for you guys

[agnesandhilda]

rocky: *soldering something*

grace, unable to stop thinking about his impending demise and so touch-starved it borders on mental illness: can yuo do heart surgery on me

[annabelle--cane]

grace, en route to erid, lying down under a quilt in the dark: *whispering* hey rocky

rocky: shhh grace asleep now

grace: no, 'm awake

rocky: grace asleep now, command.

grace: I just wanted to say--

rocky: grace need sleep now, you always stupid when you try to speak at this time.

grace: I just wanted to say that if you're, I don't know, still a little mad or resentful about me trying to operate on your radiators and almost killing you that one time--

rocky: no no no, we talk about this before, rocky not mad. not happy about it, either, but understand. I live, is okay.

grace: yeah yeah, I remember, you were weirdly calm about it in a way that was a liiiittle concerning. so, yknow, if you were upset and holding something back to try 'n be nice--

rocky: rocky is not nice.

grace: okay not true. BUT, right, if you DID have some feelings that you weren't letting yourself vent, I was just thinking that, like, if you wanted to make it even and express some of your frustration, I would let--I mean, if you wanted to, and if you asked, if you thought you could get something out of it, like, either scientifically or emotionally or something, I wouldn't actually say "no" if you said that you wanted to. yknow. operate on me. like as mini-revenge.

rocky:

rocky: rocky no want "revenge." statement.

grace: aw, are you sure? 🥺

rocky:

grace:

rocky:

grace: ...I have been awake for, uh, twenty-two hours. sooo maybe we just forget I said any of that? maybe ignore all of that? ha ha. ha.

rocky: no I will remember this clearly until my death.
