Plushies and Ideas

hmmm what is brennan, actually? and why brennan?

Needed more genders, and 'brennan' fun to say.

99% of my writing comes from spite. I get tired of people pretending to examine their assumptions on a gender binary but not actually doing so, instead going through life thinking in terms of male and female and relegating everyone else to 'exception' as a singular group (which is frequently considered 'halfway on a spectrum between the two 'normal' binary ends' or, even more nauseatingly, 'woman lite'). So I built a default ternary that still also has exceptions, and those exceptions are different to each other as well. You can't properly engage with TTOU while thinking on a gender binary. If you (nonspecific reader, not implying this applies directly to the askers here) find it confusing that their future world accepts three main genders instead of two worldwide, or are confused by the idea of a ternary and people still being outside it, or get distracted trying to figure out if Tal and Celi and Fir are "really" men or women? That's a YOU problem. You're thinking in a gender binary and basing your worldview on that, no matter how many new sets of pronouns you memorise. TTOU won't play by those rules.

Brennans exist because there's no reason they shouldn't. And there being no reason they shouldn't is the point.

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

People can't just say "I don't like this music" anymore they gotta call you gay and autistic for listening to a band that had one song go viral

just gonna drop this here

PSA that has been given 100 times already but needs to be said again:

The reason you, gen Z queers, need to be kink positive isn't because you support those kinks. It is okay to be disgusted by them, actually.

The reason you need to support kinksters is because "these kinks are disgusting" is the framework the alt-right is using and will continue to use to outlaw you. They don't think you're any different from the guys at Pride in leather puppy suits. They think your ENTIRE EXISTENCE is sexual. They think you holding hands with someone of the same gender, or existing as a trans person at all, is the same as a straight couple playing tonsil hockey in public.

YOU ARE A FETISH TO THEM. That is all you will ever be to the alt-right. They will never see you as human. When they talk about "our children being exposed to sexual perversion" they don't mean BDSM like you think they do. They mean YOU.

The only way to preserve your own existence is to fight for the right of kink to exist, because the instant kink becomes taboo or outlawed again*, rest assured, the alt-right will become MUCH more transparent about just what they think about your existence.

When you harp on about disgusting kinks and how they need to be hidden or outlawed and how they're harmful and everyone who does them is (insert thing here), you are giving the alt-right the tools they will use to imprison you as soon as they have unchecked power to do so.

THAT is why kinksters have been part of the queer community, part of Pride, from the start. Because the only way to keep our community safe is by truly ensuring everyone has unlimited sexual autonomy so long as the activity is taking place between consenting adults. It's just like how abortion-related laws are the lynchpin for all manner of medical autonomy laws.

The queer community can't stand without kinksters and vice versa. Even if you yourself aren't a kinkster and find them disgusting, like it or not, that is just how it is.

*Sodomy was illegal in Texas until 2003 and the law is still on the books, just not allowed to be enforced thanks to Lawrence v Texas, which SCOTUS has said they have an interest in striking down

In general, "this thing is bad because it disgusts me" is reactionary thinking that the right uses to discriminate against literally everything. They will deliberately talk about the grossest possible things (or what they think is the grossest possible thing) in order to justify their bigotry.

The classic argument against being gay? Bringing up anal sex. A lot. In as graphic terms as possible. Just talking a lot about poop and anal prolapse and other viscerally disgusting things... and then using that as the reason why two men shouldn't hold hands in public. Because holding hands is actually signalling that you practice coprophagia, obviously.

(I am not exaggerating: spend any time listening to someone like Alex Jones talking about gay men, or reading anti-gay pamphlets from the 90s and early 2000s, and it's just nonstop discussions of poop and poop-related things)

One of the classic ways of othering immigrants? Talking about how disgusting their food is. Koreans eat rotten cabbage. Chinese people eat dogs. Fuck, there's a scene in It's A Wonderful Life where Mr. Potter is trying to flatter George Bailey and get him to give up the Building & Loan (while being extremely bigoted about the people George Bailey is helping), and he calls Italian immigrants "garlic-eaters." Because garlic is gross and smelly, obviously.

Women? Talk about how gross menstruation and vaginas are.

Trans people? Call a neovagina an "open wound" and wring your hands about how testosterone makes people smelly and hairy and ugly.

Unhoused people? Complain about how they're pissing and shitting in the street.

It is okay to not like stuff! It is okay to feel disgust! But I promise you that there is something you find totally normal that other people find gross. You cannot make disgust the basis of your morality system.

Both of these ppl are proship so the message of this post has v v v bad intent to me :^/

Hmm, how strange that people who don't support queer people being discriminated against in real life because of immature people moralizing their discomfort would ALSO not support censorship of fiction because immature people moralize their discomfort? WHO EVER COULD HAVE GUESSED THERE WOULD BE SUCH AN OVERLAP

"HOW could the pro-kink people also be pro-ship??!!"

Because the idea that something is harmful and immoral simply because it exists in the world somewhere where people, especially children, might accidentally stumble across it (and, by extension, think it's okay and then be lured into the clutches of a pedophile) is why Moms for Liberty keep trying to get books about queer people banned and Republicans keep trying to ban drag anywhere children could possibly see it.

"But I'm not talking about normal queer content, I'm talking about porn!"

It's literally all porn to them, my dudes. And Tango Makes Three is just as bad to them as 2 Girls 1 Cup. THAT'S THE POINT OF THE POST.

nonbunary-coco up there somehow misunderstanding the entire point of this post in ways I would never have thought possible

This really is the 'why the fuck not' season, huh

Toby Fox may be the creator I respect most because after creating a game so huge that Nintendo sniped his character for Smash and the Pope's orchestra played his music for the Goddamn Pope I VERY much think it would be within Toby's right to develop of God complex, crack and become insane, go on a bender in the streets of LA, and then have an extremely public Twitter meltdown before getting suspended. Imagining the pressure, I think I personally would do all those things, in that order, in under 6 months' time.

Instead as far as I can tell he's just like "I'm dog" and has been like "I'm dog" since Undertale launched and he's just out there somewhere with near-total anonymity just making his little haha games. Absolute King.

toby fox has had the rightest idea of us all, that he has simply Not Interacted with the internet for the majority of his career. shit aint worth it

"Fan content is for other folks and not me" is a golden rule among publicly-creative types. But he's took it to a whole new level lol. I aspire to that.

its monday. lets get on it cunts

You walk up to the tournament setup and I’m wearing this

Anyway I was in an Autism evaluation last week bc I don’t have my original diagnosis on paper and they were asking me “common knowledge” questions and one of them was “who wrote Hamlet” and for some godforsaken reason I heard “Hamilton” so I said, “the book or the musical?” And the doctor said “there’s….a musical?” And we both stared at each other for forty-five seconds while I opened up my “past dialogue” log in my brain and loaded in “Hamlet”

They also asked who wrote Sherlock Holmes and I couldn’t for the life of me remember Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s name but I did remember that he had beef with Houdini because he so deeply believed in Fairies and Ghosts but Houdini didn’t so they were mortal frenemies and I talked about that for several minutes and the doctor said “interesting” and wrote down what I can only assume was “AUTISTIC” underlined three times

you could never understand the bond between a magician who is a main character and another magician who hasn't spoken since 2009

you don't know shit from fuck
