Oh. Wow. This is the first Trans Day of Visibility since I came out. Um. Yeah, no, I still don't want to be perceived. Please continue perceiving and celebrating everyone else, though.

May be a controversial take, but I kinda dislike how they made Frankie nb in the Monster High reboot. I mean, I dislike a LOT about the Monster Hight reboot, but I really feel off about how Frankie is the only one who gets to be nb because they're made of multiple people's parts. Why?

Being gender fluid sucks actually. Just putting that out there. One of the worst things my brain could have decided to do to me.

TBH I've never come out of a PPV feeling this unhappy before. Not nearly enough highlights to make up for the lows, I just really, really did not enjoy that.

Guys do I like women's hockey? No no no I'm already hip deep into pro wrestling I CANNOT fall into another athletic obsession. Curse you Emily Clark! Curse yoooooou!

Who do I talk to about creating a minecraft mod? For reasons.

All this rain is kicking my ass. I feel like I've been sedated, all I do anymore is sleep.

I know I'm in boy mode when I can't stop thinking about buying pants from the men's section. Seriously. Pants. Of all things to fixate on. But I want them so bad I can feel it in my teeth.

Has anyone written a zombie apocolypse story featuring Waffle House employees? I feel like there's comedy gold there.

Should also say, to any of the three people who might read this, if you have any exceptionally good wlw book recs I'd love to have them. (Don't say Gideon the 9th, it's already in my TBR)

I'm entertaining the idea of writing a Sapphic romance. I don't have a Sapphic bone in my body (unless Audrey Hepburn is involved because I'm not *dead*), and when I can't understand a perspective I tend to try writing it. Get out of my head and into someone else's to see from a different angle.

"Hey guys, let's meet for lunch and brainstorm our new trios gear. I know just the spot..." - @speedballbailey.bsky.social probably 🤼 #AEWCollision

I feel like people don't talk about the incidental intimacy of relationships enough. We tend to focus in on the exceptional points and just sort of skate over the more mundane aspects of loving someone day-to-day.

There's nothing that makes me feel more centered and okay than taking care of my bf. Even just making him some egg salad, there are so many little intentional choices I can make to demonstrate that I'm thinking of him and it makes me feel so tangible, so present. It's amazing on bad brain days.

Why does eating have to be so fucking hard? It's a requirement for survival it shouldn't be this FUCKING HARD

Fudge. Grew up surrounded by the stuff every December and now I can barely stand it.

I keep feeling guilty about sitting cross-legged in my chair until I remember I bought it specifically for that purpose.

Toni Storm. I started watching AEW toward the end of the Outcasts run and I hated it. I dreaded every match they were in because it was always the same thing. I never would have imagined she would one day break out of the trio and become my queen.

Weird how when I read back over my own writing everything seems to flow so naturally on the page, but I can still remember how much I struggled getting it there. It's such a weird disconnect, how much effort it takes to make it look effortless.

I'm planning to start going to weekly knitting nights at my LYS again. The ladies there tend to be the activist type and it's dangerous for me to engage with current events without a tangible sense of optimism. Hopefully they can direct me to a place where I can be useful.

So kind of the Young Bucks to throw a Superkick Party for my birthday!

Dear video essayists: Just end your sentence with the preposition. It's okay. It's allowed. Just please stop using "to which" for everything. It is not the catch-all you think it is.

I need to free myself of the notion that for a story to be "legitimate" it has to look like other stories I've read. I just need to write the story I wish existed, regardless of whether or not other people would want it to exist as well.

Need the weather to hurry up and improve. I need to do Matthias' face-up and it's too damn cold to spray MSC.

Ideas for the line where a merperson's skin transitions to scales: 1: Band Also: scale band, lateral/lat band, hip/belly band, abdominal band 2: Line Also: transitional line, switch line, scale line, tail line 3: Belt Also: Nereid belt, swim belt, Belt of Neptune/Poseidon Thoughts?

Currently I'm rocking with the idea that merfolk were manifested by the collective belief generated by all the stories humans told about them. They weren't, and then by sheer popular will, they were.

I'm usually pretty live and let live when it comes to merfolk takes, but one idea that's always baffled me is that merpeople don't/shouldn't eat fish because it's basically cannibalism. It makes no sense. That's like saying it's cannibalistic for us to eat cows and pigs.

Can I ramble about merfolk here? Is that a thing I can do?

The fact that The Thirteenth Year did not spawn an entire genre of merman-centric fiction is frankly a failure of humanity.

Petition to make the gender-neutral "self" form officially "themself" instead of "themselves" because seriously.

What gets me about brands posting AI shit is, like...do they not even look at it first? Like you're not just scamming artists out of work you nixed the quality control department, too? Just generate and post it without checking to make sure there's the right amount of hands or THE RIGHT LOGO on it?

I will never understand, like, older dudes who exclusively date early 20-somethings and vice-versa. I'm in my 30s and any time I see someone fresh out of their teens I'm like "Oh. You're not done yet. Back in the oven with you, you are dough."

So I downloaded American Truck Simulator to try and babystep my way into dealing with my driving anxiety. So far it has accomplished the exact opposite and I'm more convinced than ever that I should never be behind a wheel.

I'm trying to let myself post inane BS here to wean myself into the idea of Being Percieved by People on the internet.

Honestly, Mondays are the best days on YouTube for me. BTE Speedvlog Fishtank Review on Fish for Thought Dan and Phil's Hardlaunch Like at this point I'm not sure why I even open the app the rest of the week. (the answer is video essays)

For the record: I did in fact lose my voice from squealing so loud over the Young Bucks' return last night. Those are my boys and I've been begging for a return to Superkick Party for the last TWO YEARS.

So here's the cool thing: Before I started Matthias's face-up I had a decent grasp of how faces work in my head. But now that I've been hands-on with a 3D surface? I 𝘨𝘦𝘵 it in these brand new ways. Every mistake has been like a new "aha!" moment of understanding what makes skin look alive

I'm gonna need fic writers to go ahead and realize that when you're writing prose, punctuation is NOT OPTIONAL. Acutally there's a lot of stuff newer fic writers need to learn, first and foremost is that YOU CANNOT EARN MONEY FROM FIC. DO NOT CHARGE MONEY TO WRITE FIC!!! But also punctuation.

Ugh, I wanna watch New Year Dash but I feel groooooss and siiiiick and my ear hurts and I don't wanna listen to anything. Gonna have to be tomorrow, I think

Thoughts from Wrestle Kingdom 20, a 🧵:

Attempting my first BJD face-up and every mark is utterly terrifying.

On the one hand: keeping Ibushi in the conversation so that he's still part of the narrative even when he can't perform is a good move. On the other hand: STOP REMINDING ME ABOUT IBUSHI'S BROKEN LEG I PROMISE YOU I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN!!!

Put together a new vanity yesterday and now my everything hurts

I now own Kuromi lounge pants. This is good.

The amount of braincells I have dedicated to Nick Jackson's facial hair choices is honestly not okay.

so happy about Kenny on Dynamite! I never should have doubted my king. Now, if the Bucks would just stop using that godawful entrance music and go back to Superkick Party the healing could truly comence.

Suddenly delighted to realize that my new name would have the pseudo "R" sound at the end in an Australian accent

No but poc cosplayers and fanartists translating characters' hairstyles into a textured hair version has got to be one of my favorite things ever. Like god 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯 that's some good shit.

Really trying to trust the Elite right now 'cause as happy as I am that they're back together it feels way too soon for bygones to be bygones. I'm just hoping for a moment where Kenny acknowledges his own part in what went down the way the Bucks have. Just to know he's aware of how he hurt them.
