I do prefer when TERFs have URLs like vulvaclitoriswombyn instead of innocuous bullshit like opinionssideblog. It’s like when poisonous bugs are bright colors.

sometimes that character just wouldn’t hide an injury. it’s a great trope but only if they would do that.

[stonesense]

and sometimes the character wouldn’t try to push through sickness and do their day job or whatever. again i see what you’re going for but sometimes in these fics something else can happen. open your hearts and minds to scenarios such as “the character is actually pretty expressive about their needs and is willing to complain a lot but the other characters still don’t take it that seriously for whatever reason and have to deal with the guilt and quencies after”. or “the character takes a rest at the appropriate time (or earlier!) but then faces punishment/being ignored/hostility for doing so and that is what worsens their condition into a serious one.” or “the character is a practical one who informs people sensibly and takes every necessary step, yet to their distress their condition still spirals out of the control.” or whatever else but just do you see what i’m saying not every character is a silent sufferer and that isn’t the only way to put them in a situation . we can innovate

Some guy on reddit told me I drew Bashir too gay, so I drew him gayer. Plus bonus Dax.

it’s not weird to find fanfiction from 2021, or 2017, or 2014 that you’ve never read and actually taking your time to read it.

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

read fanfiction! write fanfiction! comment on fanfiction! let’s not let fanculture die people!!!!!

I am once again transposting on my art blog because it’s important to me <3

I do understand the impulse to post “conservatives want HIM in the women’s bathroom? [image of masculine trans man]” in response to bathroom bills, but also please consider what you are actually saying with that. People aren’t getting thrown out of bathrooms because creeps are peeking over the stalls and looking at their bits, they’re getting thrown out because of easily perceived traits like height, facial hair, clothing, and voice. In real life, it can be impossible to tell whether the person with facial hair in the women’s bathroom is a trans man or a woman with PCOS or otherwise intersex or a trans woman who doesn’t pass. I get that “you want HIM in the women’s bathroom?” refers specifically to the trans guy in the photo, but broadly it’s saying that anyone with masculine traits shouldn’t be in the women’s room which is…you know…exactly what conservatives are saying. You simply don’t know a stranger’s sex or gender just by looking (and it’s no one’s business). Everyone I mentioned above DOES get thrown out of the bathroom, we’ve seen it happen. Even cis perisex women get harassed for peeing while butch.

And all this is not even mentioning that conservatives’ goal ISN’T to put trans men in the women’s room and trans women in the men’s room. The goal is to make us unsafe and even illegal in public spaces, pushing us out of sight and eventually out of existence. They don’t want us in any bathrooms at all.

My point isn’t to say who should or shouldn’t be in which bathrooms, it’s just that we should all stop policing who we see in there and mind our own business. The ultimate solution is to have more gender neutral bathrooms, preferably doing away with gendered ones entirely.

The Onion’s Top State Fair Foods

As late summer gives way to early fall, many Americans will head to the fair and seek out their favorite regional delicacies. Here are The Onion’s top state fair foods.

For @creatingblackcharacters Melanin Beam Challenge, I did Kira Nerys and Jadzia Dax from Star Trek Deep Space Nine!

There should have been a Black woman on the main cast of DS9 and I will die on that hill.

Was trying to make a joke about TV writing to my friend the other day and had to pause and go "...does the phrase 'surf dracula' mean anything to you?"

[firewalkwithmedvd]

One of the most important critical texts of this century imo

[hypokeimena]

image description: tweet by @/topherflorence, reading: back in the day if u did a tv show called surf dracula you'd see that fool surfing every week in new adventures but in the streaming era the entire 1st season gotta be a long ass flashback to how he got the surfboard until you finally get to see him surf for 5 min in the finale /end description

most start trek aliens wear very modest fashions so the special effects don't have do the make-up other than the hands, neck and face - which just makes sense, imagine the added cost of making more prosthetics just so they can have cleveage or whatever. so nothing shocked me more in discovery than saru going shirtless. i wasn't prepared for this as an option. he was asking michael to kill him and everything and i was like man i can't believe this *squinting to see if he has nipples* man how many hours did that take

I do consider Wolverine's interactions with Jean and Scott in the first X-Men movie to be sort of an inverse unicorn hunter scenario. sometimes the unicorn hunts you. aggressively.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

the thing is. Logan finally makes one (1) pass at Scott that's so straightforward even Scott can't write it off as homoerotic bickering over Jean, and it sends him into a tailspin. he doesn't even answer he just leaves the room. gracelessly. listen it's 2001 and like, okay, obviously Professor X is gay, Scott knows that, he's fine with it but like. jesus christ. he has enough problems with the whole mutant thing; Scott Summers has not been exploring the lush garden of latent bisexuality. plus he's like SO coupled up with Jean so it doesn't even matter, right? it doesn't even matter and he never had to think about this again, except he does and he's dating a telepath (FUCK) and she Knows something is up and he can't brush it off forever so he tries (fails) to casually bring it up. haha hey Jean you know I always thought Logan had a bit of a crush on you, but I think he tried coming onto me the other day, can you believe it? ("I think he tried coming onto me" here means "he offered to suck my dick with all the subtlety you'd expect from a man who's very popular in truck stop bathrooms," btw.) and Jean Grey, the Dark Phujoshi herself, cannot hide that this is huge for her. this solves so many of her problems. she's salivating and Scott can see it and she's realizing too late oh no Scott was Not into it like that, abort mission hard. except he saw how excited she was for a split second before she got a lid on it, so he knows, and she knows he knows, and he know she knows he knows. and now Scott can't Stop thinking about it, and the more he tries to not think about it the more he does, vicious cycle, and he keeps having these dreams about. well. what if. what if I did let him suck me off a little. which Jean knows about, obviously, because she's a telepath (FUCK). so she knows. and he knows she knows. and she must know that he knows she knows. but neither of them are saying anything about it, just sweating it out while Logan continues to slut around the school in a white tank top pretending he's not playing six dimensional mind game chess to land the plane on this threesome.
