Dandelions have a symbiotic relationship with little kids who make wishes
this is... not entirely false, actually
you can't oppression olympics your way out of how your trauma affected you.
"other people had it worse" bitch! I don't care! just from looking at you it's plain and obvious that you've had a time of it! a person can drown in six inches of water, it doesn't matter if someone else is drowning in ten feet! you're both still fucking drowning! show yourself a little bit of compassion before I come over there and do it for you. this is a threat
Transphobes who say their pronouns are beep/boop or something else in their bio underestimate my willingness to adhere to those pronouns
I love the normalization of neopronouns for this reason. Transphobes are just gonna get their "ironic" pronouns used and respected lmao. Neopronouns users were so based for doing this.
A classmate in undergrad once tried to test me by claiming she would only agree to respect nonbinary pronouns if I used Her Majesty as pronouns for her.
She lasted 2 days before she realized I had absolutely zero problem doing exactly that and was too embarrassed to ever argue with me about pronouns in class again.
When I was working at the greenhouse, one of my coworkers was getting flustered because he was a Proper Gentleman who called everyone "Sir" or "Ma'am" and was getting genuinely heated that there wasn't a gender-neutral honorific for nonbinary people like me.
"Well, you could always call me 'Your Majesty'." I said.
As a Joke.
Because in addition to looking and sounding like an older Yosemitie Sam, he took me Extremely Seriously and addressed me as "Your Majesty" for the rest of the summer. Which was hysterical because it was things like "Your Majesty? Where is the fungicide?" and *gestures at me* "You'll have to as Their Majesty about the tomatoes." He also would call every single person he could not immediately identify the gender of "Your Majesty" and also everyone that had neon hair.
So yes, you should absolutely rigorously adhere to someone's pronouns (Especially if they're unusual pronouns), because it's respectful, because it's clowning on assholes, and because it is fucking delightful.
obsessed with villains who you just KNOW are aware deep down in their heart that they've done something unforgivable, but the only way to never admit that or face the guilt is to keep doing it over and over again until they don't feel guilty about that first time anymore
luminary-rainchii asked:
rq what's your opinion on egos like Murdock and Yancy? Do you have any thoughts around them respectively?
meo618 answered:
You didn’t ask for art but you’re getting something anyway because I had this floating around on my ipad.
I feel like both of them fell victim to the most common archetypes in the fanon.
1. Infantilization (Yancy)
2. Tumblr-fication, I really don’t know how else to describe it. Aka. “People are thirsting after Murdock and the character is adjusted accordingly”
(Damien and Dark also fell victim to either of these)
Yancy? Love him, he’d kill me but yknow. Worth it. Especially in oswm I think people didn’t really pay attention to the lyrics of the musical number. Or his drastic mood swings. Or the fact that he regularely murders people. The fanon somehow unintentionally takes away any depth from the character for the sake of being able to ship him without having to confront any actualy moral questions. (Understandable but I like moral grey areas)
Same applies to Murdock but in the way that people are making him a tumblr sexyman. Let him be unhinged. He’s creepy, I can imagine him being a stalker. He looks like his hair would be perpetually greasy.
two guys having a conversation about their friend who uses any pronouns but they're very clearly trying to outdo each other in obscurity with each pronoun used
i’m obsessed with this painting called tomato king and i’m even more obsessed with the man who drew it. his name is stuart dunkel and he is a classical oboeist and he also paints tiny little oil paintings of mice living their best lives. he looks like this.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this the jelly bean guy???
@raevenlywrites the WHO???
Oh!! His little kippah!!!! On his tiny little keppie!!!!!
[ID: The original post has two images. The first is a small oil painting of a white mouse, sitting on its hind legs in a slightly anthropomorphic manner but without having human-like anatomy. It is holding in its paws a shiny red tomato, which is half the size that the mouse is. The mouse’s head is peeking out to the side from behold the tomato, and resting upon its head like a crown, is the circular leaf from the top of the tomato.
The second image shows the artist, sitting at a drawing desk in an art studio with some larger oil paintings on display in the background. The artist is working on a small painting, about A5 in size, and he is turned towards the camera with a friendly smile. He has short, curly peppered grey hair and a furry grey moustache. He looks like he’d make you tea and listen to your worries extremely sympathetically.
The third reblog has two images. The first is another small oil painting of a white mouse sitting on its haunches. This one holds a green jelly bean – the size of its head – in its mouth and has a jelly bean in each hand, held out wide either side of it. Four more jelly beans lie on the floor around it. The impression is as if this mouse has posed specifically for the painting and it looks almost expectantly at the viewer.
The second shows yet another painting of a white mouse sitting on its haunches. This one is wearing a little black cap – a kippah – and is accompanied by a dreidel – the four-sided spinning top played during Hanukkah – which is at least half the size of the mouse. The mouse’s tail tip is curled around the spinning handle of the dreidel. End ID.]
