yall have got to be more normal about Southern people and I'm not kidding. enough of the Sweet Home Alabama incest jokes, enough of the idea that all Southerners are bigots and rednecks, and enough of the idea that the South has bad food. shut up about "trailer trash" and our accents and our hobbies!

do yall know how fucking nauseating it is to hear people only bring up my state to make jokes about people in poverty and incestuous relationships? how much shame I feel that I wasn't born up north like the Good Queers and Good Leftists with all the Civilised Folk with actual houses instead of small cramped trailers that have paper thin walls that I know won't protect me in a bad enough storm?

do yall know how frustrating it is to be trans in a place that wants to kill you and whenever you bring it up to people they say "well just move out" instead of sympathizing with you or offering help?

do yall understand how alienating it is to see huge masterposts of queer and mental health resources but none of them are in your state because theyre all up north? and nobody seems to want to fix this glaring issue because "they're all hicks anyways"

Southern people deserve better. we deserve to be taken seriously and given a voice in the queer community and the mental health space and leftist talks in general.

sorry to steal ur tags like this but ur very correct and this moved me a lot

I’m gonna sparkle on this wednesday if it fucking kills me

darling falin...

every prehistoric human reconstruction has me thinking “I want to smoke weed with this bitch”

she looks like she would have been an awesome neighbor, like she would have loved menthols and called me baby

“a Cheeto could have killed a Victorian child” but the opposite. Neanderthals would have loved to go to Hardee’s and get a burger with me.

neanderthals would have walked hand in hand with me into hell (buccees opening day)

When I saw this article two years ago and found out Neanderthals were seasoning their food 70,000 years ago, I teared up thinking about how they never got to try things like beef jerky and Doritos.

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "this is a valuable exploration of intimacy and vulnerability that we’re conditioned to recognize only in romantic relationships but that can exist platonically as well" way

handsome kabrus....

i think we need to start calling trans women eggs “ladies-in-waiting” and trans men eggs “squires.” no moral imperative to this, i just think the current queer parlance could use some medieval world building

I hate him

Gotta say the new digital circus episode slapped and imma have to rewatch it to unpack all that

However one thing I did notice that I find interesting is how while in the pilot people were noting the dynamics being opposite between Ragatha and Jax (I had noticed too tbh), but now with the second episode? I think if anyone's gonna be a parallel/foil to Jax it's gonna be Zooble.

We see right off the bat Zooble refuses to participate in any of the adventures, and presume they're distant or "edgy" or whatnot because of that, but episode two proves that seems to be the opposite. They're the one who set up Kaufmo's funeral, and make it so everyone can come together and remember Kaufmo (it's important to note they're the latest arrival before Pomni, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't have witnessed abstraction before). They engage with others, and really keep the real, human feelings about what's pretty much death

Jax, on the other hand? Dives right first into the adventures, doesn't care about the others' feelings, and needs intense situations. However, he's completely distant from the others, really driven home by the fact he doesn't even bother to attend the funeral.

The takeaway I got from it is Jax needs escapism to cope, while Zooble refuses to engage with this. On the other side, Zooble copes by trying to stay connected to "reality" and the feelings that come with it, while Jax doesn't wanna touch that with a ten foot pole
