Among us and Phasmophobia are similar but complete opposites as far as games go.
One is adorably designed but will potentially break your friendships the same way that Monopoly and Risk do
One is creepy as hell with but will have random strangers working together as if they've been decades long comrades in order to survive.
There is the potential to be murdered in either game.
They both have the best fan songs
i feel like we dont talk enough about how two of the most decorated female hockey players ever, one a former captain for team canada and the other for the usa, fell in love and had a baby together
small gay sports baby
Ok but where is my cheesey lesbian rom-com about them falling in love while playing against each other
Okay but the funniest part is this has happened multiple times. There are three instances of former Canadian and American national team players who have gotten married:
-Caroline Ouellette and Julie Chu (both former captains)
-Gillian Apps (former alternate captain) and Meghan Duggan (former captain)
-Jayna Hefford (former alternate captain) and Kathleen Kauth
Seriously it’s like tradition at this point. I’m sure there’s a betting pool on who’s going to get married next. God I love the rival lesbian jocks trope.
In case y’all didn’t click that link I need to make sure you see the headline.
Quick girls join the hockey team
Better see y'all reblogging this

aw fuck = “I can’t believe you’ve done this”
I read that one post about Jessica Rabbit being asexual and I was like “huh that’s an interesting headcanon” especially since they had all this analytical proof and so I told my roommate and she instantly went “NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.” And she walked out of my room saying “trust me, I know a sexual being when I see one” and the most memorable part of this was her saying “do NOT ruin this for me” so please help me “ruin” Jessica Rabbit for my super heterosexual roommate by avidly supporting my new headcanon of asexual!Jessica Rabbit

@mutuals stop and think before you reblog a post that has the word “lgbtia+” in it. advice from your friendly intersex mutual, archy: STOP dragging intersex ppl into the lgbt community. idc if you think aces/aros are lgbt just stop dragging other ppl into this. stop putting a fucking i in the acronym. intersex isn’t a gender OR a sexuality- it’s a medical condition. we have time and time again asked for you guys to recognize this, time and time again asked for you guys to stay out of our issues, but you continue to misgender us and use us as props for your arguments. your “lgbtia+ positivity” isn’t nice, it’s hurtful, it literally makes me so dysphoric because i’m basically being told that my genitals and chromosomes somehow make me inherently nonbinary. i’m not lgbt because i’m intersex, i’m lgbt because i’m trans and gay. y'all aren’t being “inclusive” or “recognizing our issues,” most of the time y'all don’t even know what intersex means and it’s obvious when you group it in with genders and sexualities. by dragging us into the lgbt community you are misgendering so many people and intersexist as fuck.
That’s fine if you feel that way. But I and many other intersex individuals like being included, and have asked to be included.
It’s fine if you feel that way! If you don’t want to be included, that’s fine! Those posts don’t included you then. But they do include those of us that have asked, and fought, to be included. You do not speak for every intersex person.
the notes on this post are, like, 2 intersex ppl who agree with OP, a couple dozen intersex ppl who strongly disagree with OP and are upset that someone is asking for them to be kicked out of the community they’ve worked very hard to be included in, and then a couple hundred non intersex ppl saying “oh wow i didn’t know this!! i’ll be sure to never include intersex ppl in my rhetoric from now on 😇” and that, i think, is telling and, also, disgusting!!!!!
@ my fellow dyadic ppl: stop taking shit like this at face value. you really think it’s in any way good for you to read one person’s opinion, do zero further investigating, and then decide that from now on you’re going to cut an entire population out of our community??
how dare you. it took all of two minutes for you to read this post and make that sort of decision, and it’s taken intersex activists /decades/ to gain the modicum of inclusivity and recognition and acceptance they have today. and you’re sitting here spitting in their faces because it’ll seemingly gain you a couple woke points on tumblr dot com??? how DARE you.
it’s really easy for you to say “i’ll stop including intersex ppl in my community :-)” but for intersex people who want to be included, who have benefitted from their inclusion, who have stood by our sides for decades as our siblings in arms, it’s much fucking harder to regain the ground in our spaces that you’re so carelessly and flippantly taking away from them by being so willfully ignorant. stop being so fucking obtuse.
Someone on my timeline uncritically reblogged OP so I was looking for valid criticism to rb instead because I feel strongly on this.
Im intersex, and if you try and tell me that my experience is not inherently queer then Ill kick your teeth in. It REALLY is okay to not have your experience as intersex tie into your gender or sexuality at all, but dont you dare speak for the rest of us and say that no one has ever had a struggle with gender due to their physical condition.
Yall dyadic people need to also realize that petitioning for dropping the I is literally just another terf ploy to get yall comfortable enough to drop the T. But sure. Just uncritically rb any excuse to exclude more people from the queer community bc our complex experiences and interpersonal conflicts scare you ig lmao
THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED IT
its not my place to speak on behalf of intersex people but i figured intersex people fall somewhere outside the lines of the cishet norm and therefore have a welcome place in the lgbtq+ community. But, like everything if you don’t feel a connection to a term/communuty you are welcome to distance yourself from it but cannot make decisions for others like you
After seeing multiple creators having to publically out themselves or reveal past traumas in order to get fans to stop yelling at them for representing a certain minority/concept in fiction, can yall learn to take a second to consider how your words and actions affect others? Especially in fandom spaces? By demanding that people can only talk about certain issues if they’ve personally been affected by them, you are directly forcing people to reveal their trauma/minority status.
This was prompted by fans’ response to the latest episode of a TMA featuring substance abuse, but also remember a few months ago when Jameela Jamil was cast to play a queer woman in an upcoming movie and there was so much backlash that she had to come out as queer? That fucking sucked.
^^ and the same thing happened with Keiynan Lonsdale from Love, Simon?
#hot take–‘you’re not x so you can’t write x’ is bad praxis#if you can’t find something actually wrong with the actual portrayal#maybe take a step back and ask yourself if perhaps your trauma is getting in the way of you’re enjoyment of the media#which is a totally valid but SEPARATE issue from creators being bigoted (via @dinosaurrainbowstarfish)
I hate “If you’re not X/haven’t experienced X, you don’t get to write about X.” Partly because of this- it forces people to make their traumas and identities public knowledge- and partly because it honestly seems inclined to shut down empathy. “You haven’t experienced X yourself, so you are dramatically and irrevocably different from people who have, to the point where you’ll never be able to conceptualise X well enough to write about it non-offensively.”
Sorry, but that’s bullshit. To give an example I’m qualified to give- If a neurotypical person wanted to write about, say, an autistic person facing ableism, and put actual care and thought into it, that’s brilliant. Like, yes, please do this! Please try to understand and relate to us and think about how the world looks to us! Thank you for thinking our stories are worth portraying!
“You’re neurotypical, therefore you’re Not Allowed to write about an autistic character facing ableism”? Fuck off. That sounds like a good way to discourage people from writing autistic characters, for a start, while also entrenching the (already very prevalent) idea that we’re too other for non-autistic people to comprehend.
I wrote a book about an autistic character and was pressured to out myself. I’ve heard stories of authors being asked invasive personal questions about their sexuality or gender identity by agents who are deciding whether to take on their work.
The whole #ownvoices thing started as just a way to draw attention to existing marginalized authors, but once it became a trend and a “selling point” it really started to become harmful to those same authors.
To some degree, the identity of the author has always been treated as a commodity or a marketing tool in the publishing industry. But it’s gotten worse in recent years. And it’s hard to know how to fight it. I want a world where stories are judged on their own merits and not by which identity boxes the author can check, but it’s harder to create a viral hashtag campaign around that idea.
If you have put yourself in a position where you would be less upset if you learned someone went through something traumatic, you have not put yourself in a moral position.
as a bi girl, i’m fucking tired of hearing other wlw say that f/f relationships are inherently better, healthier, and more pure than m/f relationships. stop telling wlw that women are never abusive. stop telling bi girls that men cant love them the way women can. if you believe that love is love, fucking act like it.
Seriously though, you’re putting so many wlw in a position to be abused or to be an abuser. If you tell wlw their love with women will always be pure, they won’t be able to recognize abuse when it happens to them, because they’ve been told women are too “pure” to do such a thing. And others may not recognize their own abusive behaviour, because they’ll think they’re incapable of abusing just because they’re women.
That is radfem rhetoric.
I’m not joking, exaggerating, or engaging in an ad hominem. One of the foundational elements of radical feminism is the notion that violence and abuse are masculine traits, and that women, freed of patriarchal influence, are naturally nurturing, loving, and positive. It proposes that abuse in any form is almost always perpetrated by men, and when a woman commits abuse it is only because she has been poisoned by the patriarchy into believing that abusive acts are okay.
Incidentally, radical feminism is also the source of political lesbianism, which promotes the idea that regardless of their actual orientation, it is more feminist to commit romantically to other women as a means of avoiding male domination.
There’s some fascinating reading to be done on the rise of women’s shelters, which were often founded by radical feminists (who, in all fairness, do deserve a fair bit of credit for that; women’s shelters are a good thing) and were not prepared either to assist women fleeing domestic violence from other women or for the abusive relationships that arose between women residing in the shelters.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
OH MOOD

oh my god these are great
fuck this is like reading a jokes and not actual quotes
I fucking love lawyers
Deceit had tried so hard to keep Virgil with them. Virgil was his family, and they held each other close to heart. Of course there was an occasional argument, some bickering, light hearted teasing. But they loved each other.
They were family. At least, that’s what Deceit had thought. But Virgil grew distant, and cold, and soon he stopped coming home entirely. Deceit wanted to be mad. He wanted to feel the rage Remus had made. The anger, the betrayal, all of it.
But he looked at Virgil with his new family, and knew that he was happy. He was upset that he couldn’t provide that to Virgil anymore. But he couldn’t be upset at Virgil for leaving to be happy.
Even if his happiness made them more lonely. Deceit took a sip of the tea. The man across from him smiled at him. He was cheery, and bubbly.
Deceit had never seen a smile so cold.
The man hummed cocking his head ever so slightly to the left as he lifted the tea cup up. Pinky out, he seemed to carry himself with a happy and cheery demeanor of an over achieving optimist.
What stopped Deceit from speaking, was the look in the man’s eyes. One that was cold, and filled with malice. It spread to his smile, creating an expression that froze the blood in his veins.
Finally, the man spoke. “Well hello there, kiddo! How’s your day been?”
Deceit took a sip of his tea. “It’s been well, how was yours?”
The smile grows colder. “You don’t care.”
“Why would you think that?” Deceit asks, carefully.
Patton sets his cup down to drop another cube of sugar into his cup. “You’re a snake. And a dark side. You’re evil. You don’t care how my day went, kiddo. After all this whole thing is just for your own gain. Isn’t it?”
“No, it isn’t, not really.” Deceit responds, honest for the first time in a while. He’d been practicing speaking without lies. “There are things I want from this, but they are not the only reason I proposed this tea party.”
“Well then,” Patton drops another sugar cube into the cup. “Cut to the chase, because I have a family to get back to. Not that you’d know anything about that.”
Deceit wants to be angry, and he feels anger in his blood at the comment. How dare he say such a thing? To assume Deceit doesn’t know family, when it may be one of the most important things to him! But Deceit keeps his cool. Takes a slightly deeper breath than normal.
“I want to know,” he says finally, “If Virgil is okay. And, I want to know… what do you have?”
“What do you mean, kiddo? I’ve got lots of things!”
“What do you have, that I don’t?”
I FOUND IT I FOUND IT I FOUND IT I FOUND IT I FOUND IT I FO
