I am a hater first and foremost. Atlas, He/they/xe, adult. 18+ SOMETIMES GUYS BE WARNED. Diehard Kon-El Stan. I get discoursey and like to reblog anti- posts (i.e anti-tony stark). Previous urls are sunbeams-and-roses, trans-blaze-minecraft, genji-is-trans-die-mad, and reinhardt-is-trans-die-mad.
consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?
consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.
more people need to consume media how dedicated comics fans consume their media of choice
go up to any comics fan and ask them which writers house they would mail pipe bombs to and they’ll list of at the bare minimum 5 different people. ask them their favorite character and you’ll be greeted with an answer followed by why every comic ever featuring that character has been literally the worst and they refuse to read it again. truly i don’t think there’s another group of people so invested in something that they truly despise to such a great degree.
to people who keep saying that this applies to their respective fandom: you will never experience this
Why is it always that some people who say that they love found family try to force characters into traditional family roles that do not fit their characterizations at all?
Yes I am talking about some people who will be going about Dinah: “she is the mom of the arrowfam <3” while ignoring the fact that she clearly doesn’t want children and ignoring most of her interactions with the arrowkids in general.
Ok y’all brace yourselves cuz I just learned about a new animal
Yes, that is an animal. Yes, scientists refer to it as the purple sock worm. No, that’s not it’s real name, silly, it’s real name is Xenoturbella!
When these deep-sea socks were first discovered, no one knew what the fuck they were looking at (and, really, can you blame them?). They have no eyes, brains, or digestive tracts. They are literally just a bag of wet slop. DNA analysis initially seemed to indicate that they were related to mollusks, until the scientists realized that DNA sample was from the clams they had recently eaten (yes, they can eat with no organs. We don’t know how.)
Scientists then analyzed the data again and tentatively placed them in the group that includes acorn worms, saying that their ancestors probably had eyes, brains, and organs, but simplified as a response to their deep sea ecosystems.
Later DNA testing has since shown that they are their own thing! Xenoturbella, along with another simple and problematic to place creature called acoelomorphs, belong to their own phylum called Xenacelomorpha! This places them as the sister group to all bilateral animals. So, they just never evolved brains, eyes, or organs. They are a glimpse at a very primitive form of animal that never bothered to change, because apparently what they do works. Rock on, purple sock worm.
Guys do u know that one meme where there’s a girl and like a bodyguard (???) ordering drinks and the waiter give them the wrong drinks so they switch them on the last panel,???????? BECAUSE I C1NT FING IT^
never will forget the gay porn I watched where the director quietly told the bottom to “lose the anime voice” and you could see overwhelming disillusionment form in his eyes
I know y'all should all know by now, but here is a current example of how drag bans actually ban trans people from existing in public spaces
This was the email that was sent to Adria Jawort, a two spirit author scheduled to speak at a Montana library, on the first day of pride month.
I just wanna emphasize the fact that the trans person in question here is an INDIGENOUS TRANS WOMAN and that’s not a coincidence. These laws are disproportionately gonna impact people of color and trans women and above all trans women of color. And her talk was going to focus on the history of Two-Spirit people in Montana
you people would (and do) freak the fuck out if you found out (when you find out) queer “found family” dynamics tend to involve like half of those people fucking each other. often as part of the dynamic. and those family dynamics are as real and potent as blood, but function differently. and the nuclear family language can be applied to queer family dynamics in ways that are not orthodox and not metaphorical, but unorthodox to nuclear family and earnest. lesbian leatherfamily be upon ye
