The Mess

A multi-fandom blog run by a girl with dreams of being a writer. I'm Wren (she/they). 28yrs old. Expect a variety of fandom, general, and personal posts. Also be ready for bouts of obsession over random shows...

man i hate the allure of a good grilled cheese. you make one and eat it and its so good and perfect, maybe a little bland but in a good way and you instantly think “man that was a really good grilled cheese, im not entirely full yet, maybe i’ll have another…” dont do it. don’t even think about it. it’s the opposite of oreos. you make your second grilled cheese and 3 bites into it you’re so overwhelmed by the monotony. “this isnt nearly as good as the last one” despite being practically identical. The grilled cheese is a sacred food, it must be eaten hot, and quick. A second one only allows you to stew in the memories of the past (your previous cheese) and your nostalgia clouds your mind, creating an epic fail bite in your newest creation of dairy and grain. Show some restraint.

helena bertinelli vs being gay

Moms do weird things that are meant to enable their kids being stupid sometimes. Like carrying spare clothes in a bag, carrying tylenol around, baby wipes way past the diaper stage etc.

Mira and Zoey finding out post new Honmoon that Celine actually favors short sleeves, tank tops and the like. It's just well for a decade itw as easier to get Rumi to put on one of Celine's cardigans than it was to get her into her own long sleeve shirts and then it was a back up just in case.

Mira only a little sarcastic when she notices the change in outfit styles saying that it seems like Celine and Rumi both found a seam ripper and decided sleeves were illegal.

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...

I know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.

Happy Pride month everyone!

Wanted to finish this on the first sorry about about it being a little late 🙇🏻‍♀️

[scrupulosity-comics]

title of this is just ‘lesbian sex’

[scrupulosity-comics]

lot of terfs have been reblogging this so I may as well publicly state that the woman on the right is modeled with permission after my transfemme friend. if you relate to it as strongly as many of you claim in the tags I urge you to reflect upon that with empathy and compassion about the depth of experiences you truly do share with trans women.

otherwise fuck off I guess. my art is not fuel for your hatred.

was going thru my csp to find a comic wip, heres a bunch of spoilers (and batgirls) i uncovered

[but-a-humble-goon]

You ever notice how whenever a male character with no powers holds their own against superpowered people with only skill, strategy and sheer willpower (IE Batman, Guts, the Punisher) people treat that as the absolute epitome of badassery but when it's a woman doing it (IE Black Widow, Lady etc) it's either complete crickets or active hostility?

[space-cattle]

It’s hard being batgirl

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

Is this a fucking joke????

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

This is what I mean about content labels existing as a way to control and suppress posts. I don't believe for a fucking minute this post was automatically assigned. But of course, their stupid fucking AI mod exists so now there's no accountability. The machine cannot make a decision :)

happy pride month.

in new zealand, our evil government are trying to legislate definitions of women and men, in ways that are legally incoherent but clearly trying to pave the way for more horrifically transphobic legislation. we have an election in a few months but our main opposition party, and all our mainstream news media, are so spineless and cooked that there's a good chance the ghouls will win reelection.

it took 2 whole months for local terf group 'speak up for women' to get 2,000 signatures on the petition that led to this new bill in our parliament.

it's taken five days for this pro-trans 'they don't speak for us' petition to get 17,000 signatures.

this is a show of support that is really heartening for a lot of trans people in our corner of the world.

cis/ish women, if you're from here but haven't signed yet, please do. and if you're not from here and you know any new zealanders, could you send them this petition? a full fifth of our population lives overseas, and there's a good chance they don't follow the news.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

[eatmoresoups]
