gonna post a controversial take alright are y’all ready??
…
actually typing out emoticons like XD and :D and :V never should have gone out of fashion and you can pry them out of my cold dead hands okay I know emojis are fun but THEY DON’T CAPTURE THE EMOTION IN THE SAME WAY
There is no emoji that captures what I mean by :P (I do NOT mean “hur hur goofy-ass face!”) and the one for :^/ is not great. And lest we forget, 🤷🏻♀️ is absolutely inadequate compared to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads
you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride
these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.
final thought - breaking the pride tradition and more than likely won't make a new piece. the top one from TDOV is all i'm making this year. i have my focus on other projects currently and i don't want to force a poster design. these came from a specific head space and my current head space is Very Tired lmao so i wanna work on other things. 👍
I love how some fics are called shit like "They Only Shoot The Birds Who Cannot Sing" and it's like the most insane porn you're ever read and then some fics are called Spit On Me and it's 18,000 words of the most achingly id-scratching prose you've ever read and they're both. They're both so fucking good. thank God for fanfiction.
'Sup Nisaac gang? I just found another great song for our pathetic soldier boys.
I don't want to be alone any more - by Billy Joel;
'I can't be sure we'll get along
But I'm willing to try
No, I don't want to be alone anymore
And, I want you tonight
Although you hurt me before
I said I'm sorry, but he said it was cool
And I don't want to be alone anymore'
This song isn't as spot on as 'You give love a bad name' but these lyrics stood out too me and the song just fits their vibes ya know? Two pathetic guys that want to be in a relationship but have no idea how to actually do it properly but they both just don't want to be alone any more.
She said she'd meet me in the bar
At the Plaza Hotel
"Wear a jacket and a tie"
"What's the occasion?"
She just smiled and she wouldn't say why
So here I am standing, waiting in the lobby
Sweating bullets in this stupid old suit
And when she sees me she busts out laughing
"You're a sad sight honey, but you look so cute" and
Nigel has to be thee most forgiving man of all time, Isaac killed him AND left him at he altar and somehow Nigel is still willing to be friends with him, HOW has this man not been sucked off yet he's basically a saint
This was when I fell in love with Nigel, he just wants to be a good husband!!
No but listen, you don't get how big a gesture this is!
Nigel as a ghost is very limited in what he's able to do, he can't affect the world around them. And between the two of them Isaac is the only one with money so he can't even ask Sam to order something for Isaac. But what he can do is learn something new and he chooses to learn about Isaac's latest hyperfixation!
He had to have asked Sam or the other ghosts for help, none of which he knows as well as Isaac knows them. He either would have had to ask Thor and Trevor to borrow the TV since it's in their room and Trevor is the only one that can work the remote so he could find programs about dinosaurs. Or have asked Sam for dinosaur books and then to help him turn the pages so he could read them.
It would have taken a lot of time and effort to do this, not to mention asking Isaac's friends for help. But Nigel thought it was worth it because he knew it would make Isaac happy.
He just wanted to be the best husband he could be! </3
A trope that gets to me: 'guard dog' character and their partner who are both fully aware of it and honestly don't care/kind of like it. Someone says "call your guard dog off" and their partner does call them off. That person, their 'guard dog', is someone who is unreservedly, irrefutably loyal to them. Someone undoubtedly dangerous who is willing to kill, to maim, to obey, simply because of their love for one another. There's no manipulation involved— it is loyalty, brutal, dogged loyalty. And it goes both ways.
this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN
are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,
YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE
you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!
Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!
