another dog related incident that is sending me into a fit of hysterical laughter

There is something to be said about the kind of... phantom parallel between the Vamp/Femme Fatale, and what TvTropes calls the "Deliberately Cute Child".

[thedupshadove]

Like, from the perspective of the presumed adult male viewer, it's the fact that they both play on anxieties of "This person with less power than you will exploit their ability to Make You Feel Emotions to get you to do what they want." But from the perspective of the respective characters themselves...

The people around you, the ones who seem so unlike you, the ones you don't understand and who seem to understand you even less, have Ideas about how a person like you is supposed to look, and talk, and act, and think. These Ideas don't match what you're like, except perhaps on the surface level, and they don't match your experience of other people like you. Deviation from these ideals tends to be punished, and if anyone notices that you're putting actual effort into meeting these ideals, you'll be tarred and feathered as being "manipulative", but if you can manage to outwardly embody all these ideals perfectly, and have it seem like there was no work or conscious thought involved in doing so, then a surprising amount of the power that those not-like-you people possess will be bent toward keeping you happy and safe.

Anyway, someone should do an extremely arch Noir pastiche where instead of a beautiful woman roping the protagonist into killing her husband, it's a big-eyed, cherub-faced little boy roping the protagonist into killing his dad.

one of my small joys working in customer service is reading out someone’s joke spam email in a very loud and professional voice over the phone. “i’m going to send you an email, it looks like the address we have on file is HOT PANTS DADDY SIXTY NINE at yahoo.com. is that correct?”

and always get a “sigh…yeah.”

This insane update from Neocities

[innerchildabortionclinic]

a lot of critiques of Youth Behaviors should take into account we now live in a world where said behaviors can be recorded, posted online, and be seen all over the world, and this was not always the case. not only that, but outrage drives engagement on social media, so you're more likely to come across inflammatory content. it kind of creates an altered perception of reality

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever
