I love my mutuals.love to know what the fuck they’re talking about someday
you should really be careful who you hang around. some girls will really try to take advantage of you. make you do whatever they want. stop getting hard
When I was a kid, my dad hated when I hung up anything on my walls. My art, band posters, movie posters, anything. Not with taxks, not with tape (it “ripped the paint off”) not with anything. At one point in 5th or 6th grade he came in my room and found me hanging up a Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster with tacos and he was like “EVERY HOLE YOU PUT IN THE WALL TAKES $10 OFF THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE.” so when I was mad at him, I’d insert tacks into the wall in places he couldn’t easily see just out of spite. Whoever owns the house now is probably wondering about it.
bro didn’t even know you could just fill holes with toothpaste 💀
I know this is about an owned house (that you should be touching up and repainting the walls of before reselling anyway???) but for ppl who are paranoid about putting holes in rental walls: don’t be. Put up posters. Shelving if you need it. Have hanging plants. Invest in a studfinder. Spackle kits are cheap and everywhere now, or you can use white toothpaste, glue, or even soft air-dry clay to fill holes. Scuffs and rub marks are considered normal wear and tear and landlords can’t charge you for them. Most places will have you fill holes but will have to repaint between tenants anyway, so even if the spackle doesn’t match the walls, it’s not a big deal. Check your state laws about what is considered normal wear and tear. Most states have laws covering everything from paint to flooring. For instance, in my state, carpet that is 3+ years old is considered past its normal life cycle and therefore any damage to it cannot be charged for because the landlord/management is expected to put in new carpeting. Before any move-out, check local laws considering paint, flooring, light fixtures, appliances, etc. Landlords and management companies make BANK on people not knowing that they’re paying for paint rubs that they’re painting over anyway and carpet that has been paid for 6 times over.
Reminder: they’re never ever ever ever going to give you your security deposit back no matter what you do. have fun with life.
don't know who needs to hear this but sometimes trans women on the internet will be kinky. and sometimes you just need to deal with that and ignore the reaction society instilled in you to condemn anything other than vanilla sex as deviant and wrong
If I may add onto this, as a trans woman:
Conversely, if you are a trans woman reading this and you’re into some weird things, you don’t need to feel guilty about it, even though it might be hard not to. If you’re not hurting anyone, and everything is safe and consensual, you’re allowed to be the weirdest person you can imagine, and it doesn’t make you less worthy of rights or respect, or any less of a woman.
wait HI you’re back i’ve missed you !!!!
Hello xar beloved hru 🩵🩵🩵
Fandom is a fantastic thing and it’s made my life better but it’s so hard to explain to Regular people what happened to my brain this past year like “there’s this old man…from a tv show….and i think he’s sexy….other ppl think he’s sexy too…..we are friends bc we like to sexualiZe him….” is not the kinda icebreaker you can say in social situations generally.
“who are you talking to” “my friend from another timezone, they write really good porn :)” NOT A CONVO I CAN HAVE IRL WITHOUT BEING JETTISSONED INTO THE SUN!!!
It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

I feel this is something that does often get overlooked in slash shipping, especially in articles that try to ‘explain’ the phenomena. No matter the show, movie or book, people are going to ship. When everyone is a dude and the well written relationships are all dudes, of course we’re gonna go for romance among the dudes because we have no other options.
Totally.
A lot of analyses propose that the overwhelming predominance of male/male ships over female/female and female/male ships in fandom reflects an unhealthy fetishisation of male homosexuality and a deep-seated self-hatred on the part of women in fandom. While it’s true that many fandoms certainly have issues gender-wise, that sort of analysis willfully overlooks a rather more obvious culprit.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, that we have a hypothetical media franchise with twelve recurring speaking roles, nine of which are male and three of which are female.
(Note that this is actually a bit better than average representaton-wise - female representation in popular media franchises is typicaly well below the 25% contemplated here.)
Assuming that any character can be shipped with any other without regard for age, gender, social position or prior relationship - and for simplicity excluding cloning, time travel and other “selfcest”-enabling scenarios - this yields the following (non-polyamorous) possibilities:
Possible F/F ships: 3 Possible F/M ships: 27 Possible M/M ships: 36
TOTAL POSSIBLE SHIPS: 66
Thus, assuming - again, for the sake of simplicity - that every possible ship is about equally likely to appeal to any given fan, we’d reasonably expect about (36/66) = 55% of all shipping-related media to feature M/M pairings. No particular prejudice in favour of male characters and/or against female characters is necessary for us to get there.
The point is this: before we can conclude that representation in shipping is being skewed by fan prejudice, we have to ask how skewed it would be even in the absence of any particular prejudice on the part of the fans. Or, to put it another way, we have to ask ourselves: are we criticising women in fandom - and let’s be honest here, this type of criticism is almost exclusively directed at women - for creating a representation problem, or are we merely criticising them for failing to correct an existing one?
YES YES YES HOLY SHIT YES FUCKING THANK YOU!
Also food for thought: the obvious correction to a lack of non-male representation in a story is to add more non-males. Female Original Characters are often decried as self-insertion or Mary Sues, particular if romance or sex is a primary focus.
I really appreciate when tumblr commentary is of the quality I might see at an academic conference. No joke.
This doesn’t even account for the disparity in the amount of screen time/dialogue male characters to get in comparison to female characters, and how much time other characters spend talking about male characters even when they aren’t onscreen. This all leads to male characters ending up more fully developed, and more nuanced than female characters. The more an audience feels like they know a character, the more likely an audience is to care about a character. More network television writers are men. Male writers tend to understand men better than women, statistically speaking. Female characters are more likely to be written by men who don’t understand women vary well.
But it’s easier to blame the collateral damage than solve the root problem.
Yay, mathy arguments. :)
This is certainly one large factor in the amount of M/M slash out there, and the first reason that occurred to me when I first got into fandom (I don’t think it’s the sole reason, but I think it’s a bigger one than some people in the Why So Much Slash debate give our credit for). And nice point about adding female OCs.
In some of my shipping-related stats, I found that shows with more major female characters lead to more femslash (also more het). (e.g. femslash in female-heavy media; femslash deep dive) I’ve never actually tried to do an analysis to pin down how much of fandom’s M/M preference is explained by the predominance of male characters in the source media, but I’m periodically tempted to try to do so.
Something homonationalist white queers talking about lgbt Palestinians that has always annoyed me is that they talk about homophobic Palestinians as if they’re the ones experiencing homophobia from them. You are not living under the PA, you are not living under Hamas, you are not Palestinian, no Palestinian gov or community has authority over you - so what gives you the right to decide homophobic Palestinians deserve to be slaughtered by the state of Israel? Don’t play this white savior card, you don’t care about lgbt Palestinians, you’re a racist covered in glitter. We lgbt Palestinians see you as an extension of our oppressors, not saviors.
thinking about Ed Teach and "I'll take tea in my room, Izzy" again because??? he's returning to his ship (and even that isn't so clear-cut and hasn't been at any point, but presumably he expects Izzy to be holding it for him like a purse). he finds that the crew that he has been on-off maybe-captain of for a month, but doesn't know that well, is literally about to kill his First Mate, and the two people from Ed's original crew have turned on him. but there's not a sign of worry that this might mean they've turned on Ed as well, any of them. doesn't even occur to him that they wouldn't follow his orders. NO doubt that whatever has been going on, they won't jump to provide him his murder butler and sad girl tea. he doesn't even bother to put on the Blackbeard persona. and they obey.
obviously it's a sad-funny moment but I think it says SO much about 1) the level of power and authority that Ed is used to using, and 2) the level of power and authority he does have over people. thinking about him!!!
IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR TUMBLR NEWBIES:
Remember to send any questions you have regarding Jake Gyllenhaal's sexual preferences to the nearest Narnia fan blog
i’m gonna start acting like a cop & refuse to be nice to customers until they tell me i am brave & handsome for coming into work
this post has ruined my life. i jokingly referenced it to tell a coworker with a similar sense of humor that she was “brave and handsome” for doing her job and the next thing i know shes telling the same joke to our boss, who misremembers it as “brave and sexy”
I'm getting so pissed with people who are saying Gwen isnt trans. Like they're trying to explain why her dad has a trans patch on his jacket and why she has a trans flag in her room, by saying she supports trans people... wtf???? Literally what ally has a TRANS FLAG, IN THEIR ROOM, BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT TRANS PEOPLE??? That's some shit closeted me would tell my parents when they saw me drawing rainbows. People that are saying this shit are literally just transphobic and dont want her to be trans. Gwen is trans and fuck everyone that argues against that.
which one of these is the so called "american flag"
In Gwen’s universe trans people took over America and made the trans flag the national flag.
oh a TWIST
promotional poster of bisexuality
you’re all missing out on how bonkers the original promo pic is
malpractice orgy, shoes on the bed, cuddy inexplicably the only one barefoot, every fandom has fanart of the infinite bed cuddle pile but house md made it a real promo art, my medical team and yes they smoke weed
The workplace attire stays ON during sex, the princeton plainsboro polycule threatens to expand to other teaching hospitals, the whole group chat, bedtimes md, everybody lies (down to sleep)
Having a normal one :)
