This song goes so well with this, I love drawing my ships with this song playing in the background.
Here’s also a little headcanon I got: The more Bishops get killed, the more mobility TOWW gets, since the chains get destroyed (that’s why they get to lay down like this later on)

Christians hate when a gay man goes “fuck it, I’ll gladly go to Hell if you want me to so bad” because it takes the edge away from their tools of fear. If they can’t scare you with threats of eternal damnation then one of their main weapons is taken away.
“You’re supposed to fear your father/parents” this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say that someone told them this in the tags. Christianity as an institution is one of the biggest shelters for abusers out there and this shit right here is how they do it.
one of the first things i learned in a fucking summer vacation theater camp for kids was about how to emote on stage. the counselor wrote “LOVE” on the board and asked the class if anyone knew what the opposite of love was. naturally the whole class responds with “HATE”
he said we were all wrong and wrote “FEAR” on the board.
fear does not equal love. fear does not equal respect. fear will never be part of a healthy relationship with anyone or anything and if fear is being used against you in the name of love then thats a huge red flag if ive ever seen one

i don’t need tumblr premium because I report every ad I see
‘is this ad malicious?’ as far as I’m concerned all ads are malicious
advertising should be completely illegal if the company makes more than a certain amount of money and below that threshold it should be heavily regulated and only allowed in very specific places and scenarios.
for example, ads playing in the background in a supermarket are fine, but forcing me to watch one before and every youtube video should be outlawed.
a basic rule of thumb is if it inconveniences the consumer outside of their control it’s not okay.
so advertisements in games that you can choose to watch for a reward would be fine, since you consented to seeing that advertisement.
in general i dont think fandom tattoos are a bad idea but i think u need to at least give yourself like a two year buffer from the end of that piece of media before you commit. like if someone told me “yeah im obsessed with hazbin hotel rn so im gonna get a hazbin hotel tattoo” id be like woah okay maybe put a pin in that idea for later. but if someone told me “yeah i read homestuck in its prime and i still love it so im gonna get a homestuck tattoo” id be like well fair enough its been like eight years. if you still like it now you’ll probably still have fond memories of it in 20 years. you do you.
that being said shoutout to my old supervisor who heard one of his coworkers owned a tatttoo gun and came in the next day with bart simpson on his ass. i hope hes having a real one.
My plan to create a perfectly flat and level Kansas by moving 5,501 cubic miles of earth from west to east. It’s the ideal Kansas. Still some details to work out about rivers, roads, etc. Watch out for the 900-foot cliff bisecting Kansas City.
this is honestly the best post on the entire fucking internet
transfems shouldn’t have to change every aspect of themselves to be palatable to wider society if you can’t handle a woman with a husky voice that doesn’t swing her hips when she walks that doesn’t stand up straight and talk like some upper class white bitch you’re weak and you will NOT survive the winter
The decision provides much needed clarity around the meaning of “sex”, a word not defined in the Sex Discrimination Act. Importantly, Justice Bromwich stated that “in its contemporary ordinary meaning, sex is changeable”.
He also noted the concept of sex has broadened over the past 30 years, especially as people can change the sex listed on their birth certificates. He said:
The acceptance that Ms Tickle is correctly described as a woman, reinforcing her gender identity status for the purposes of this proceeding, and therefore for the purposes of bringing her present claim of gender identity discrimination, is legally unimpeachable.
The court unequivocally rejected the argument that sex is immutable: that the sex that was presumed and assigned to a person at birth is the sex someone will always be. Justice Bromwich stated:
the sex of a person may take into account a range of factors, including biological and physical characteristics, legal recognition and how they present themselves and are recognised socially.
The court found Grover did not actually know that Tickle was transgender. She excluded her from the app based on her opinion that Tickle was a man. Justice Bromwich stated:
Of course, given Ms Grover’s views, her decision almost certainly would have been the same had she been aware of Ms Tickle’s gender identity. For Ms Grover, there is no legitimate distinction between transgender women and cisgender men.
A cisgender person is someone whose gender identity corresponds with their sex assigned at birth.
This judgement means it’s unlawful for a person to make decisions about whether someone is, or is not, a woman based on the sex that was originally recorded on their birth certificate, or based on how feminine they appear.
It will constitute discrimination if a person is required to have the appearance of a cisgender woman as a prerequisite to accessing a particular service.

trope i don’t see enough: the more experienced character having to guide the less experienced character through something very difficult and important. maybe they’re behind glass or bars or on the phone. maybe they have to do surgery or stitches or defuse a bomb or repair some machinery. ..
it’s about suddenly being thrust into something you’re absolutely not prepared for and still doing your best anyway. and also about having to watch as their hands tremble and they’re struggling to piece together your instructions. if they make a single wrong move it’s over. do you get it?
Since people are actually being pretty positive toward Minecraft Story Mode after all these years and it’s kind of making a resurgence, and since mcsm is no longer really around to play like it used to be—I thought I’d share how to still “play it.” Remember when mscm was on Netflix and then got taken off? Well, the entire Netflix version of mcsm is ON YOUTUBE!! And still interactive!!
Only downsides to this are that it only includes episodes 1-5 (season 1), it doesn’t include all the gameplay features (you can only choose options, no button mashing or anything), and there are less dialogue options at times. However, it is essentially the same as the real game overall, and completely the same as the Netflix version (some of the visuals and emotions and such are actually improved on the Netflix version compared to the original)
If you want to play the FULL GAME (season 1 and 2) with all of the gameplay, here’s another source for downloading it across multiple kinds of devices
Biological sex is not and has never been a binary. The complexity of the natural world cannot be contained in neat little societal boxes. Stop using science to justify your bigotry.
I can’t think of any part of science I’ve ever studied that has ever concluded in any sort of binary
The answer, whether it’s sex, gender, types of fish, whether fish exist or not, or whether you yourself are a fish, is and always has been “it depends”
That’s science. Diving into the nitty gritty of what it depends ON? That would likely be how you find yourself holding a science degree 🤣
it would be super cool if someone had mentioned intersex people in this post talking about some of the different intersex conditions that exist(all non standard chromosome combinations are considered intersex)
fun fact btw.
There have actually been examples of humans self fertilising
So it is genuinely possible even in practice for humans to both be male and female.
I really wish more intersex people knew this as well, because even we are taught to fall heads over heels to go “but we can’t actually be both at once, we’re still only really one or the other”
Obviously not blaming any intersex people for this, I was very much like that before I learned about this. But I think it would be good if we didn’t have to self flaggelate every time we talk about our biology to appease a perisex society

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Yknow what I LOVE about the Star Trek fandom? It’s ANCIENT. I had a talk with a nice old lady at the old persons home that my great grandma is in and she noticed my Spock shirt and was like “oh I love that show I thought the premise was lovely” and you all know THE PREMISE is trekspeak for spirk and I was like “do you accept the premise because I do” and she looked at me with the eyes of someone who is reliving their otp moments and she said “the premise is all I wrote about, dear” and we just talked about spirk for a hella long time and I just love how age doesn’t matter in this fandom you can be ninety and still be the biggest spirk bitch ever how rad is that
I was today years old when I learned that particular euphemism
I was also today years old. Fandom codes man
Reblogging to spread knowledge about the Premise, because I absolutely love that bit of fandom, and I want to make sure that it survives. (and yay to everyone who is part of today’s 10,000!)
Fanfic culture as we know it today owes so much to older fans, especially older women, who were obsessed with The Premise.
This was a world before widespread internet, before sites like fanfiction dot net let alone anything like AO3, and long before queer media became more widely acceptable. The Hays Code, which forbade Hollywood from depicting “sexual perversion” which gay representation was considered, was only repealed in 1968, and many still unofficially stuck to it and that part especially for longer. Original Star Trek was canceled in 1969, the same year as Stonewall. But in the early 70s, fans were collaborating and making fan zines containing writings about The Premise, distributing physical copies at conventions and creating mailing lists. Later came private email chains.
In a world with so many factors working against it, large groups of fans decided they were so invested in the idea of these two men together that they would MAKE ways to share their work and acquire new content from others.
Transformative fiction existed in ways before. Adaptations of other stories have existed about as long as stories have, and I’m sure people had written their own little reimaginings and “headcanon” side stories for themselves and friends before. But the culture of spreading it far and wide, of collaborating to do so… If it hadn’t been Spirk, maybe it still would have developed similarly later/slower, but we can’t be sure. In the world we have, though, we owe old ladies who loved The Premise everything. 🙏
