Hermaphrodyke's Dog Bling Emporium

movie vs book (i adore them both) 

How could you leave this in the notes, excellent addition

Actually, this makes the childification of Michael in the movie when he’s 15 in the book really funny:

Sophie, a 20-ish year old woman from a fantasy land where getting married at 16 or 17 does not seem to be unusual: Yes, this is a young man who is almost an adult.

Howl, a man in his late 20s from our world: This is a BABY and he does BABY things.

The way the homless are treated is completely fascistic everyone involved is responsible for cruelty and violence.

These rules also apply to many halfway houses that you pay rent to live in (taking your financial assistance away) and even disabled living accommodations I've been in have most of these rules as well. So even if you get past a shelter, the 'better' options are controlling every aspect of your life but also taking your money too, at least in California.

Reddit refugees: if you love queer headcanons, memes about lizard fashion, train fiends, cowboys, and immortal parrots, let me introduce you to one of tumblr’s greatest shared experiences: Dracula Daily

Last year we all signed up for an email newsletter containing the Dracula novel broken up chronologically, so you can follow real time over the course of the story. This year we’re doing it again, a lot of us with the new Re: Dracula podcast that is the same concept but in a narrated audiobook format.

It started in May and runs through Nov 7, so it’s definitely not too late to jump on board! You can check out the “dracula daily” tag to see what kind of nonsense is in store for you

Ok, so I’m a 48 y/o cis white guy in a loving hetero partnership who has (uncomfortably) passed as straight for my entire life to this point. I am not straight, though I haven’t figured out a label for myself yet, mostly just going with queer or bi, though neither feel quite right. Maybe labels aren’t necessary, but I feel like I should pick something (important point: my partner is fully aware and supportive of me).

Anyway, this is all preamble to the point of this post. I no longer want to express myself as a generic middle aged white guy. I want to dress more, well, queer. Most men’s clothing is sooooo boring. The problem is I have no idea where to find clothes that will fit me properly that is more, uh, flamboyant I guess than what I currently wear.

I live in Deep South Texas (like, keep driving south another four hours from San Antonio). I feel very limited here and honestly a little fearful of shopping in the “wrong” section of stores (it’s Texas, after all).

I’m slim, just under 6 feet, so not a hard-to-find size for regular men’s clothes anyway. But I no longer want regular men’s clothes. To be clear, I am not feeling gender dysphoric and do identify as male. I just want to be less conformist and more fabulous. I like color!

So, to sum up this rambling post, where can I get fun clothes locally or online that scream out, “I am queer!”?

**EDIT** if this comes across your feed somehow, please reblog it. I have maybe two followers and I really want advice (and a community I can be a part of—struggling a bit here with that).

If you don't mind online vendors, here's a post with a lot of small scale, indie genderqueer and queer clothing makers:

The "oh shucks" took me OUT

New Jonathan challenger appears: human sized boxes

Jonathan: oh shit oh god one of those is for me

Dracula: What? No, of course not. What kind of host would relegate his good friend to a mere crate? I would never >:(

Jonathan: Oh. Good.

Dracula: You will have only the finest of coffins. I already took your measurements while you were sleeping and it turns out one of my spare sarcophagi will be a perfect fit. No need to thank me :)

#picturing an AU where Jonathan does get to go back to England #but only as undead cargo

*pinches nose* my colleague in Dracula, you already wrote that AU. It was called "A Tale of Two Counts" and it was phenomenal.

Not that I have any objection to variations on a theme

True, but I would like to have a ‘holy shit! two cakes!!’ moment so my current cake (fic) can have terrifying company

#my fellow scribblers need to put our good friend Jonathan into more Scenarios and Situations #and coffin

Alright everybody, you heard the Eye. Chop chop, get to it. Time to box up the boy

It's June again. and you made it! i hope you know I'm really proud of you

If you are ever thinking of an autistic person and say to yourself "I never really have to make any/many accomodations for them."

Yeah.

That is because WE are the ones making the accomodations for YOU.

You always hear about how we need all this support and patience but no one ever talks about the sacrafices ASD people make for he NTs in our lives that they never even see or know about.

Oh, you think I am "well spoken?" Thats cuz i spent a ridiculous amount of time rehearsing my lines and facial expressions to make sure they meet your liking.

I don't seem to have any sensory issues? My guy, i have nerve damage from raw dogging the pain. You ever watch a lactose intolerant person eat dairy? They aint gonna shit their pants in front of you. You dont have to follow them into he bathroom to believe them.

Oh you mean you dont remember me ever having a meltdown? I locked myself on the bathroom to have my "temper tantrums" in private since i was 5 years old.

You think I dont stim? Let me roll up my sleeves and show you the gashes and scars from clawing myself under my shirt. The inside of my mouth looks like a crime scene. I can taste the blood. You cant. I would much rather be "squirming" or wearing very strong perfume but i know that bothers people so i find another way.

You think i am "smart?" Yeah i might be, but that is because i am constantly using my problem solving skills to quietly and covertly solve problems i am not "supposed" to have. Problems that would never even occur to you. Problems you would never even know about because i am fucking terrified of what people would say if they knew it takes me 3 hours to get dressed and shower sometimes.

I have given myself perminant nerve damage just because i was afraid to make other people even a little uncomfy.

You understand body language because it comes naturally to you.

We are not the same.

this is my favorite thing i've ever seen anybody say about brennan lee mulligan

Today in #WebcomicPride: @lovespells-comic is about a witch and a knight who fight evil. Mage & Demon Queen is about a mage who wants to date evil. Awkward?

Leora thinks this is a great show. Esther thinks it’s nerve-wracking, but also, Maria is hot when she’s righteous? Maria thinks her Love Always Wins sign is an auspicious item to fight with…much to Malori’s panic. Queen Vel isn’t much for flashy pride gear (but she did show up with the iconic wlw manicure).

assign the poor innocent fool you reblogged this from a fursona

if they already have a fursona you gotta give them a new one

most of the time I don't particularly care about ahegao hoodies, and then I see people absolutely losing their shit frothing at the mouth about them and I think "man maybe I should get one of these"

kind of like duchamp's fountain the way that the ridiculous criticism consistantly justifies and makes timeless a piece of art that I would otherwise consider kind of trite and passe

gonna be real, entering that weird spot where i dunno what to label myself as, as far as gender and stuff goes; i was born male, and am perfectly fine bein a dude, but i also don’t feel entirely male? but i don’t feel non-binary, but i don’t feel cis or trans either? maybe i’m just thinkin too hard about it like i usually do, but things like that have always made my head hurt kinda; took me nearly my entire lifespan before it finally clicked that i liked guys too (about half a year ago), and ever since i’ve already had the task of deciding whether to label myself as bi or pan and just finally sticking with both as a sort of label, but i can’t exactly do that in this instance i dont think? like, don’t both cis and enby kinda cancel eachother out? idfk man, too tired to think about abstract stuff like this rn; any thoughts or advice y’all have would be appreciated, be it replies, reblogs, or just dms

pinning this for now, i’ll bring back the old pinned post once i’ve decided though; in the meantime, we will continue with our regularly scheduled shitposting

thanks gang

Understandable, have a nice day friend

1. Cis and enby do not cancel. These are stackable labels.

2. Many people in this position ultimately find the term 'demi-male' to be helpful, as it implies a connection to maleness but one that is not a defining feature in your life. Idk if that will help you, but maybe!

3. Everyone in this position of questioning and growth is ALWAYS welcome to call themself 'genderqueer,' as a broad umbrella. Personally, after many years of similar struggles, GQ is the only gender label I use anymore. It makes the point I want to make: whatever you see think my gender is, know that it's the Queer Version.

4. This is an EXTREMELY common experience that most trans and GQ people have in our lives. This shit is confusing, and unlike the lucky cis who never question themselves, we don't get the mercy of playing gender on easy mode. It's SO normal to be tired and confused and honestly kind of pissed with yourself for not being able to take the 'easy' route of 'just' being male. Everything you're feeling right now is normal, and temporary. Being comfortable in your identity will come, but it takes time.

In conclusion: you're fine, this is normal,and there are no rules so use as many or few labels as you think feels right at any given time.

We heard there's new people o○○ on the site. So we offer all of you a p○megranate. Come and get one to become your new friend!

I don't trust pomegranates since my boy Hades tried to keep me in Hell that one time

Now, now, we'd never steal your soul part time

Is this vore or cannibalism, I need answers spider-fandom
