Invidiak (2023-2024) - Powers reflect the Trigger Event which caused them to some degree. Y'know who has a power that would really make getting out of a locker a lot easier and who was directly involved in Taylor's Trigger Event. Sophia "Shadow Stalker" Hess. Ao3/FF Net

Case File: Vox-Irae (2024) My contribution to Parahumanzine OC project. Original Post/Ao3/FF Net

[aruliart]

Redraw of that rough old imp and skitter drawing

[soracities]

"Absolutely no one comes to save us but us."

Ismatu Gwendolyn, "you've been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress)", from Threadings, on Substack [ID'd]

[paper-mario-wiki]

HEY wanna read but annoyed on where to find copies of books?

Here's an archive with millions of PDFs of books and papers and magazines and essays and stuff.

[brightlotusmoon]

[luntfontanne]

🤡

[free-and-to-none-accountable]

O brave new world, that has such people in it

[ubernegro]

Hey, white trans folks, the freak show?

They mean you. The democrats threw you under the bus like they did every one else.

I fucking told you.

[rainathrownaway]

Harris ran the most conservative campaign I've seen from the Democratic party in my lifetime, and the conclusion that the DNC reached from her failure was that the party needs to do more of that, actually. Basically, it's time for the DNC to die.

[captainlordauditor]

Captain America and Superman are Jewish responses to the Nazi idea of the ubermensch that ask different, but equally compelling questions in response to it. Captain America asks "what if the ubermensch was real, and he loved Jews?" and Superman asks "what if the ubermensch was real, and he was a Jew?"

[magnetothemagnificent]

And the Jew in question is Bucky Barnes

[captainlordauditor]

the question Bucky's character asks is "what if the ubermensch was gay, and he railed me?" this is a third, equally important, question

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

more people would exercise if this culture didn't make it absolute hell

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

I teach martial arts. we play games with the little kids. they swordfight with noodles and throw foam balls at each other. in the summer, we take them out into the parking lot with water guns. in the winter, we have snowball fights.

the teenagers get swords and staffs and practice knives. we teach them moves from marvel movies that they ask about. they get squirt guns and snowball fights too. we let them goof off and climb the support beams and charge directly at each other in padded suits.

sometimes parents say they miss doing things like that. I tell them, "stay for an adult class. just try it out." we build obstacle courses and let them mess around with training rifles. they chat while sparring. we scream and cheer for them when they're in the middle of a circle. and then we send them out to the parking lot with squirt guns and snowballs.

it's exercise. it's healthy. it's an important life skill. and it's fun as fuck.

[sailor-kaiju]

This is one of the forgotten but imo super harmful symptoms of diet culture-exercise being relegated to weight loss rather than jist enjoying using and being in your body.

Don’t like the gym? Ok, go find a line dancing club. A Tai Chi class. Play Just Dance every day. Arrange a tag football team. Go to a trampoline park.

Using our bodies shouldn’t be a chore assigned in shame.

[thesoftboiledegg]

[dysphoria-things]

they should invent a staying up late that doesnt guarantee less sleep

[pmpknsoup]

some sorta lazy vacuo designs. i made some a while back and wanted to take another swing at it now that ive been in art school for a year and a half

Good Fuckin Tropes™

Characters realizing for the first time that their injury is going to scar horrifically 

character A: *reveals something shocking* - character B: okay - character A: why aren’t you freaking out - character B: it’s been a weird fucking day man

Characters having complete breakdowns after realizing they’re becoming one of/have always been one of the monsters their side is fighting 

Character going absolutely berserk and tearing the enemy apart after someone they care about is killed/injured 

Big menacing characters being absolute nerds and sweethearts 

On the flip side, tiny cute characters that will fuck you up 

Heroes realizing they can’t fight on their own, but can win with the Power of Friendship 

Character A: Yeah, I can’t make you do *thing,* but they can - character B: *smirks*

Character being ridiculously proud of their best friend and showing them off and cheering them on way more than necessary 

Character suddenly realizing they’ve been in love with their best friend for years in an “oh shit” moment 

“Remove your weapons” *removes weapons* “ALL your weapons” *removes even more weapons* “ALL OF THEM” *removes one more giant weapon that realistically couldn’t be hidden anywhere on the human body* 

Talking animals getting offended when humans assume they’re just dumb regular animals 

A group of characters that has no idea how to deal with a child getting saddled with having to take care of a kid 

Characters talking to their dead SO’s grave 

Sweet innocent characters that cuss like sailors 

Feel free to add on! 

[thepariahcontinuum]

I've been a sucker for "Antagonist gets absolutely dog-walked as a way to show just how much a new characters' presence has raised the stakes" ever since I saw Gary Oak lose in the Indigo League.

[flipomatic]

[demilypyro]

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down
