Megan should be allowed to kill one man a day at this point

[markovchaingang]

there's this really manipulative abuse tactic where ppl will release saline from their eyes and once you start assaulting random strangers you'll start seeing it everywhere

[pansyfemme]

“never kill yourself” is such a funny phrase to me that i think it’s accidently started working. its like an affrimation. say ‘never kill yourself’ enough times as a joke and maybe you won’t try to kill yourself over minor inconviences anymore

hey boy don't kill yourself. green's dictionary of slang is available online and allows you to explore 500 years of english vulgarity. you can search by part of speech, source, time period, etymology, and usage. there's a whole category for gay slang. they even have specific citations listed so you can see the exact context for yourself. boy did you know that in 1927 "to kneel at the altar" was slang for "to sodomize"

[genderkoolaid]

some other hits:

Princess: an effeminate and relatively youthful male homosexual or lesbian (1931-4)

Daffodil: effeminate young man (1925)

To throw a fuck into: to have sex with (1919)

Top sergeant: a masculine lesbian (1939) [‘she takes command of the girls’ privates’]

Lily: penis (1919)

Wolf: sexually aggressive man (1847); a homosexual top (1918)

Soul kiss: a deep kiss, involving putting one’s tongue into one’s partner’s mouth (1907)

Tom: a lesbian (1909); [in 'old tom'] prostitute catering to lesbians (1966)

Church mouse: a male homosexual who frequents crowded churches in order to fondle any potential sex partners. (1941)

Discover one's gender: to accept or acknowledge one’s homosexuality (1941) / Lose one's gender: To return to living as a heterosexual

Minty: a masculine lesbian (1941)

Also a lot of early 20th century vulgarity is recorded in Letter from My Father, which is a collection of letters published by a man who's dad was, in short, a major slut and human disaster who wrote about his sex life for his son. It's insane. You can find copies of it online & it's a wild fucking read (literally!) and I think a really interesting look at the life of a person who goes against our stereotypes of what people in the past were "supposed" to be like.

Anyways feel free to add y'all's favs to this post. & if you use this for gay historical fanfic please share with the class

#OH THIS IS EXTREMELY EXTREMELY HELPFUL#writing#resources#saving for later#maybe i should move my 1920s story from '25 to '27 because..... bro..........

note for writers: these are dated to the first time they were recorded, not necessarily to their first use. I imagine for many of these, they came about naturally through spoken language before they were written down anywhere. This is especially true of more underground slang because it's probably being recorded (in ways we still have) the least. So if you wanna use a term but it's a little off date-wise, give yourself some wiggle room.

also gonna take this moment to highlight two more i found recently:

Best boy: a sweetheart, a boyfriend, a husband. (1893) [w the obvious equivalent term 'best girl']

Honeydripper or honeydrips: a sexual partner (1917)

Like. Honeydripper?????? That's so horny I can't stop thinking about it. We need to bring THAT back

Thank you all for being a patron of the Wonderful Funny Circus, coming from far and wide for so many years to see our wonderful funny clowns. Since we are the only operating circus that has such wonderful funny clowns, we know how much you come to our circus specifically to see them, and to laugh and have fun in a way that, simply put, no other circus can offer. We have decided to executed the clowns

[demilypyro]

talking to americans is so funny they're like "yeah I'm going to Pittsburgh" and I'm like wow Pittsburgh like from Fallout 3. wow the west coast like from GTA5. wow Chicago from Chicago. don't get me started on New York. how does it feel to live in the places all the media is about

This was on a post about how it's ignorant and privileged to wear headphones in public and I fear its already become a part of my vocabulary. Must everything harbor a moral failure.

If you hate someone enough to start documenting everything they do online, then you need to log off. If you cannot open your social media without thinking about the person you hate, then you need to log off. If you feel compelled to insert yourself and your hatred in every mention of that person, no matter how brief, then you need to log off. If your entire online identity revolves around hating someone and sharing posts from other people about how much they hate them, then you need to log off.

"But it's totally justified! Look at what they're doing!" is the mindset of every single stalker. Your reasons don't matter. It's stalking, and it's wrong. This goes double for any marginalized person, especially trans people.

[redstonedust]

big fan of being able to go back in a reblog chain and rb a version of a post without the additional comments you don't find funny. but it also feels like lowkey snubbing the person who put it on your dash. like sorry boss im trimming the fat here. your tastes are not quite good enough. die.

nice mechanical watches are wasted on wealthy men. a billionaire who will wear it once every four years and leave it in a case the rest of the time doesnt deserve a marvel of engineering like that. *i* deserve a watch like that because i get sexually aroused by clockwork

[embers-braincells]

jokes on you, i have a mechanical watch with transparent windows, which means i can see it ticking, and it (the watch) is just as sexy as you think

[yuriartillery]

you really are out of your league here on all counts. look up the vianney halter deep space resonance and understand my suffering

[embers-braincells]

oh dear god you are right, i need that watch carnally

Im at work and nobody knows that im painting Doris from Shrek in Pre-Raphaelite style on my ipad.

[pereczke]

In case anyone thought I was lying, here is the proof!

My reference was Hanging the Mistletoe by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (Its hard to match with their skill but that lady reminded me of Doris very much)

i dont understand people who never reread a book or rewatch a movie or series. the best art will always improve upon being revisited. girl. let it reveal more of itself to you.

[morriganereshkigal]

"Heraclitus said, 'No man ever steps in the same river twice.' The same is true for books. The words on the page have not changed, but the eyes reading them have.

You are not the same person you were when you first read it. To reread is not repetition; it is measuring your own soul's growth against a constant backdrop.

Awaken! Enlighten! Transform!"
