Holy shit, fucking drag him
The highlighted portions are good, but I also really like this line:
"People do not go to war for abstract theories of government. They fight for property and privilege and that was what Virginia fought for in the Civil War."
i'm never going to write fic (writing's not my forte) but if i DID i'd want to write things like. Tome livestreaming exorcisms
or Serizawa stepping up to be The Capable One
or like. whatever this is
or my personal favorite, when something REALLY SMALL is what finally puts a crack in the shell
anyway just daydreaming
throwing it out into the void~
God, anyone else remember when everyone understood that the correct feminist position about sports was that women should be allowed to compete with men because they're just as capable? When it was a trope in media to have the mysterious star athlete who just blew everyone else out of the water to take off her helmet and reveal that she was a woman the whole time?
Now people are rabidly arguing that supposed "men" (trans women) have inherent insurmountable biological advantages in literally every single possible activity and cis women are too weak and dainty and unskilled to ever compete and must be protected, and then they try to call themselves feminists who are being silenced as if that's not just the mainstream sexist patriarchal opinion
Anyway, desegregate sports. There was never any reason to separate them by gender in the first place
For people who don’t have any reading comprehension: no this post is not advocating putting a 90lb 4’10” woman against a 270lb 6’5” man in a boxing match. In most sports there are things called weight classes and height classes and they actually mean a lot more than what’s between your legs as far as performance. That said I took tae kwon do for a lot of years and by far the worst person in my classes to go up against was a 5’ nothing teenage girl who nearly outclassed the assistant teacher in sparring matches so even with the size disparity it’s not unheard of. Hell the reason the MLB was officially segregated was to keep out the girl who struck out Babe Ruth or the Olympic swimmer who caused the mens swim team to move because she was “breaking them” by lapping them without a second thought. Womens soccer is notoriously more aggressive and high energy than mens with vastly higher average scores for games. And all of this despite the fact that womens teams have consistently had lower funding for coaches and training equipment and lower pay for players. Hell that’s an argument to end sex segregation in sports right there, let women join teams that have the funding to hire the best coaches and watch how many would come through as world record breakers. I don’t have a doubt in my mind that there’s girls in school right now who could, with the right training, be better quarterbacks than anyone in the current NFL. And keeping trans girls out of sports isn’t gonna help them do that one bit.
It gets better…

everyone drawing tumblr sexy men and they ALWAYS forget one of the Founding Fathers of Tumblr Sexy Men
Bow Before Your King.
Please say sike
I’ve been on this site since the middle-end of 2012 and I am absolutely telling you everyone was wanting to fuck this man. People drew him as if he was wearing a turtle neck sweater and making him out to be this hilarious little shit and charming as fucking hell.
He was literally THE original Sans of Tumblr when OFF was a big thing.
Do not doubt my truth just because you do not wish to hear it-
crazy how at my age my parents already had children (that they were in no way equipped to raise)
nutty how i'm not even in a relationship but at my age my parents had been married for years (and established a dynamic so dysfunctional that i would spend my adolescence wishing they'd get divorced)
it's almost like it's not a bad thing that millennials are getting married and having kids later in life (or choosing not to do those things at all if they don't feel well equipped)
NOTHING makes me more mad than people shoving aside creepy behavior just because the person in question is neurodivergent and doesn't pick up on social skills well. there was this girl in high school who got way too touchy with me no matter how many times I told her to stop and the fucking school guidance counselor and school psychologist were like "well you can't blame her because she can't pick up on social cues well". i'm neurodivergent too but if someone begs me to stop doing something it's kind of fucking clear they don't like it???
just the way people approach neurodivergency is so infantilizing I hate it. if you ever reblog a post about how it's ableist to react angrily to someone invading your space i'll fucking kill you. half the things you guys call ableism are just straight up not, and this isn't even a tumblr thing, it's something supposed medical professionals believe.
It's no longer a social cue if someone says "stop, i don't like that" it's literally just someone verbalizing what they expect you to do. which is stop.
^^exactly
absolutely fascinated by this raw pixels on an emulator vs how the game was actually supposed to look on old tvs twitter
People say that old games dont look as good as they remember
Its because they legitimately dont.
The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:
Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!
I somehow did not know this!?!?!?
One of the clearest examples of this is using the effect for transparent waterfalls in the MegaDrive Sonic games
My absolutely favourite example of this is with Dracula's eyes in Castlevania
literally not a single day goes by where i don’t think about this clip at least once
I love that phenomenon where ur talking to another neurodivergent person for the first time and u haven’t quite grocked their flavor of brain yet and they haven’t grocked yours and you’re both using your Acceptable Friendly Person Getting To Know You Script on each other but of course those scripts have been calibrated mainly for use with, like, normal people, so you just end up being like two conversational roombas bonking gently off one another like “hello fellow human” “hello fellow ‘hello fellow human’” until you both at some point manage to adjust your programming and actually like, communicate
It’s like when I was a kid I had two furbies and when you put them next to each other they’d just natter nonsensically past one another for a bit and then at some point one would abruptly recognize the other with its furby sensor or w/e and it would shout “DANCE!” and the other one would flap its ears and reply “HEY, DANCE” and then, in perfect unison, they would begin to rock back and forth while chanting “doot doot doo doot doot doo”
It’s exactly like that. I love it. Crazy people are the best, we are super excellent, i love us, i love crazy ppl
I wrote this post in my head while having a major dissociative episode in the bathroom and its the best and truest thing Ive ever said
insane proportions literally everything is off about this
when my runt homunculus i grew from artificially fertilizing quail eggs with my own blood and semen comes home early in the morning after storming out the night before telling me i cant order him around since im not even a father and sees that i stayed up the whole night scared sick and crying and calling all his friends mothers and looking all over the village for him and he finally sees that i really do care so much and i would do anything for him and i finally see that he’s capable of some the independence he so craves and the two of us can start rebuilding our relationship with each other based on mutual respect for the people we are instead of adherence to the toxic roles we need to fit into in the traditional family
