you gotta be as gay as possible on the computer otherwise alan turing died for nothing
Dear Tumblr I have been struck by the need to broadcast my beloved son to you all, because he is a beautiful ball of fluff and sunshine. His name is Griffin.
He hopes you have a good day and perhaps might bring him some snacks.
I think I’ve talked about it before but the hypersexualized ‘twink feminine trans guy’ thing has caused people’s (mostly cis guys who prey on trans men) idea of what a standard trans guy looks like to be warped.
What is skinny for a cis woman is suddenly fat for a trans guy. Trans guys have to be super underweight to be ‘pretty’. And this pressure to fit into the ‘cute anime boy’ leaks into online spaces. I can’t tell you how many times I got called fat when I was 110lbs by other trans guys who think that the only way to be loved is to fit into what chaser cis men want them to be.
in order to be a trans girl you just have to be a girl
it really is that fuckin easy you do not need hundreds of dollars of aesthetic products and thousands of dollars in surgery to be a girl. like its so easy you just have to be a girl
it's just that simple!
One time in my early 20s I got really drunk at a party where someone handed me a stein full of what turned out to be moonshine from a barrel in some guy's garage and said "try this it tastes like pie" and a) it DID taste like pie, but b) only on the way down, not on the way back up, given it was something like 120 proof -- so my memories of the next couple hours are very vague but involve a bunch of ex-football players from South Boston walking me around the block in circles handing me bottled water trying to sober me up, and eventually because I was too shitfaced to get home but no longer puking my guts up and dying I crawled into the back of my car to sleep it off in a sleeping bag I kept there; but there was a guy at the party who was also sleeping in his car and this was Boston in the fall so it was like 40ºF out at night and anyway this other guy I met at this party who was a middle aged mercenary from liverpool who had served in the french foreign legion or something ended up knocking on my car door asking if he could huddle with me for warmth and I said yeah okay but there's only room for me in the sleeping bag so don't be weird about it, and to his credit he was not weird and we just slept in my car and in the morning he asked if I wanted brekkie and bought me dunkin donuts while I nursed the worst hangover I have ever had in my life then or since and trying to figure out whose heavy metal hoodie I was wearing and how I managed to leave this party with more clothing than I arrived in.
So if someone singing pirate shanties hands you a stein of mysterious liquid and tells you it tastes like pie, probably don't chug that shit.

She's uncomfy because people in the academy still treat her with prejudice for being a Zaunite. Ekko's with her, so she mostly hangs with him and Viktor, her fav professor.
Someone suggested that Powder's single braid splitting into two as Jinx represents her adopting her "jinx" persona after enduring trauma. I wanted to depict this in her design, showing her as less violent than canon Jinx but still struggling to suppress that side of her.
Thoughts on haitian zombis?
People don't get it. The idea of a body that continues to work, even after the soul dies. It's an evocative piece of folklore for a former slave colony.
OP your mind
Im flattered that you think I came up with this, but this is just the actual interpretation of Haitian zombi folklore. This isn't a CT original. The Hatians very much came up with this.
Gonna add to this: the zombies that you know today came about from testimonies of American soldiers during the occupation of Haiti at the beginning of the 20th century. They brought that back to the US and turned it in to the rotten sacks of flesh you know now. Haitian zombis come in two ways: you have a person that has died but a bohkòh (voodoo priest) reanimates the body, forcing the person's soul back into the body to animate it and you have living people being turned into zombis, losing control of their body. In both cases, the soul/spirit is jailed inside the body and must watch as the body works without having any control over it. The ultimate form of slavery. The first one is the most tragic one because even after death, you cannot find peace and must continue to labor away.
important to note that haitian vodun, or vodou, is not ‘just’ folklore but a whole-ass religion, with roots in west african vodun.
Vodou is an essential part of Haitian culture and folklore. You still believe in those things despite not being a vodouizan :3. It is a religion but many haitians do not treat it as such. To them it is a belief system or how we see the world. I'm catholic yet I still believe in everything Vodou. There's a deep syncretism between Christianity and Vodou in Haiti especially due to the history of how Vodou came about (mixed aspects of Christianity into their west African Voodoo to hide from the slave masters that they are worshipping their home spirits since they were not allowed to do so). The event that kicked off the Haitian revolution was the Bwa Kayiman Vodou ceremony. Vodou is not just a religion, it is an essential of haitian culture, folklore, history and just in every aspect of ours lives.
funniest thing abt the lunchly ksi mrbeast logan paul teamup (which tbh sounds like an evil conglomerate) is that they advertise lunchly as having less calories than the lunchable. less calories. for kids lunches. for parents sending their growing excitable kids to school where they have to go hours between meals. they advertise this as a benefit. like overall its bad and scummy but that bit in particular is so stupid i laughed out loud when i saw it
WTF do you mean jailbreaking my "smart" TV to install Linux in order to run adblock on my TV would be "Felony Contempt of Buisiness Model" That sounds like a crime made up by The Board in Outer Worlds.
one reason abusive and neglectful parenting is common that people are scared to acknowledge is the sheer amount of couples who only had children because it was expected of them. as a result, they're going to first and foremost view their children as a status symbol, something to prove they're a good family.
Save yourself
I'm WHEEZING at arcane twitter's general consensus on this moment
Caitlyn: My sister in law killed my mom and I'm in my lesbian dictator era
Vi: My girlfriend broke up with me right after we kissed
Jinx: I got reversed adopted by a random kid
Ambessa: *manipulating Caitlyn*
