“ May we present to you, Kero and Arlequino Pierrot ! ”
🐸 IT’S OFFICIAL GUYS !!! WE’RE HITCHED !!!!!!
✨ We give our heartfelt thanks to each of you for being with us during this joyous moment! And, lest I forget, thank you to @tarunart for this beautiful art of our wedding!
🐸 Don’t forget to stick around for the reception! The fun keeps going until tomorrow night! There’s also another special little something for all our guests, right under these roses~
author’s note: this little fic honestly gave me such a hard time, mostly because i really wanted it to be perfect since, obviously, this whole thing is important to me. i think there’s at least a couple good parts. thanks so much to everyone who’s supported me and my self ships, especially my close friend sam !!
i want to be back here so badly. i want to be a person with friends. i want to be creative and spend time thinking abt my loves. but everything is just so explosively bad. i dont know what to do anymore
re: that last post, ive said it before and ill say it again: no one deserves to die (deserving is fake and death is bad) but some people need to be stopped and choose to make death the only way to stop them
I disagree. Pedophiles 100% deserve death.
you are moralizing and weaponizing your disgust in order to construct and justify a category of person you’re allowed to murder
what do you think you deserve for this?
Sorry, no person deserves to die, thankfully child molesters and pedophiles aren’t human, so this doesnt apply to them.
denying the humanity of people who do horrible things accomplishes exactly three things:
give cover to people who haven’t been caught yet by allowing them to use their humanity as “proof” of their innocence
silence any criticism of societal structures and institutions that facilitate those horrible things by putting the focus on individuals who are assumed to be so uniquely monstrous that the ways it was made easy for them are irrelevant
provide a shortcut to dehumanize anyone you feel like killing: simply accuse them of doing a horrible thing
3.a. if you’ve already established that only an inhuman monster could kill a child, then all you have to do to get people to burn down the jewish quarter is say that jews kidnap christian children to bathe in their blood
3.b. if you’ve already established that only an inhuman monster could commit rape, then all you have to do to get people to string up a black man you don’t like is find a white woman who’s willing to point at him while she cries and babbles
3.c. if you’ve already established that only an inhuman monster could molest a child, then all you have to do to get people to drag gay people behind their trucks is say that since gay people can’t have babies, the only way they can make more gay people is by following a nefarious Agenda to “convert” children by molesting them
3.c.a. meanwhile if you try to address the rampant sexual assault of catholic altar boys, you’re met with “don’t be ridiculous, he’s a priest!” (see #1) and with assertions that even if it does happen sometimes, those priests are just infiltrators who don’t represent the church and there’s no reason to make sure priests and altar boys are never alone together (see #2)
tl;dr: your disgust-based violent politics are not less reactionary than any run-of-the-mill homophobe or racist’s disgust-based violent politics
I realized how bad of a take this was after I added my last bit, i apologize for the idiocy i portrayed in my half thought out statements. And I appreciate the way you rebutted this with reasonable statements rather than going hog wild because I said something you didnt agree with.
hey no worries. we’ve all been there, and anyone who says they havent is either 11 or afraid of their social circle
unlearning our kneejerk reactions is a process, and it’s not a linear one. its good to practice thinking before we post, but sometimes thinking after we post just has to be good enough
I think the biggest thing that’s helped me to stop being annoyed by odd charactersation in fandom media is realising that much of it isn’t really about its ostensible source material. It’s basically a bunch of nerds re-inventing the commedia dell'arte from first principles. You’ve got roughly a dozen broadly sketched archetypes with pre-defined roles, and while they may appear in guises taken from popular media, it’s really always the same “characters” in a variety of masks. Sometimes the Grumpy DILF wears a Bruce Wayne mask and hangs out in the Batcave; sometimes the Grumpy DILF wears a Luke Skywalker mask and has telekinesis; it doesn’t terribly matter what Bruce Wayne or Luke Skywalker are “really” like in in their respective source material, because the persona is just a framing device – this week the Grumpy DILF is a superhero, next week he’s a space mystic, and so forth. What will the Grumpy DILF be next?
“READ MY DNI” no. use your block button like an adult. i’m not scrolling through the many-paragraphs-long pinned posts of every blog i reblog something from. if you insist certain types of people aren’t welcome in the notes of your posts then it’s your responsibility to curate that. or choose a closed social media platform like facebook or instagram. or go and live in a barn away from humanity if you really don’t like sharing the world with people who are different from you
amazing how many zoomers are reblogging this and adding “LMAO THIS IS SO TRUE except i still think everyone should respect DNI’s” … did…did you not read the post? what shit are you all smoking

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing
hello anon. don’t apologise, you’re a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.
Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.
credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:
Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.
