True crime is one of the few genres of media that actually does have, at its core, palpable real-world harm. So much of it is nakedly exploitative and based on invading the privacy, grief, and trauma of real people - not just when the media's made, but also by encouraging viewers to become hobbyist investigators prying into their lives. It reinforces the mainstream media propaganda that vastly overstates how common violent crime is, how common stranger violence is, and encourages people to be paranoid and fearful out of all proportion with actual danger

And anyway it's so completely normalized that there are tons of people who will casually talk about binging a show reenacting a real person's real death, and then look at you funny if you talk about watching fictional horror movies

It's that time of the year again, the sea is calling to me once more (I need to re-watch the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy)

i'm making a brand new, unbearable wizard quiz

I doubt my aromantic identity a lot.

I want to date. I am very romance positive. I think I’ve had crushes before? Love is something I dive headfirst into - hell, I’ve even called myself ‘love incarnate’ multiple times. Shouldn’t I be, like, disqualified or something?

Like, yeah, my ‘crushes’ are usually sexual/platonic, any romantic attraction is very few and far between, and wanting to date is just nebulous and no attraction to anyone in particular (more just a vague yearn).

but it still feels…weird. I don’t relate with a lot of the community because of my experiences. It’s isolating. Yeah, I’ll stand with the rest of us - support every aro or support none of them - but it’s…lonely. I guess I just want to meet more people like me.

I know I’m aro. The label and its community has made a lasting impact on me, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see the world the same way again. (This is awesome!!) but I guess I just feel…alone, sometimes. For how it presents in me. This leads to doubt.

but in the wise words of punkitt - “do whatever you want forever.”

Ace and aro little guys

I liked the idea of just making chill little guys……… that’s how I feel as an aroace person at least

(If they look blurry it’s cuz they’re really small lol I wanted to make them smaller stickers too to help with the Little Guy feeling)

I’m struggling with my redbubble rn it won’t let me log in but once it does I’ll start actually putting stuff up cuz it’s pride now :) happy pride month!

The one and only silly

I know SEVERAL afab nonbinary people who, as soon as they came out as nonbinary - immediately began dressing in ridiculous hyper-femme outfits they never would have worn before.  A lot of people see this and say shit like “Theyfab” or say they are only nonbinary for attention.  After all, look how femme they are.

But to me, this makes perfect sense.  When you are forced into the category of “woman” against your will, femininity is a chore.  It’s a job that you have.  As soon as you say no, I’m not a woman, suddenly femininity isn’t your job anymore.  It’s not a requirement.  It’s just a fun hobby you can get into.  Or a little treat sometimes.

worst part about getting angry is how much it makes you want to be mean

...and Emmet

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

i would like to talk about romance.

not romance in the modern sense - between people - romance in the classical sense. to be a 'romantic'. to find love in nature, in society, in your lived experience. to put a beating heart in the places where the heart did not exist before. i think this is a beautiful trait. i also think it can be extremely damaging.

when the majority of your adolescence is spent building a home out of music that weaponizes sadness; it is easy to think the best way to approach your own sadness is to turn it into something romantic. to put the pain you and your friends have felt on a pedestal. to curate a museum where only the lowest moments of your shared history are permitted entry. in some situations, this can be triumphant. but it can also give too much credit to the sadness. it can allow it to take root in ways you can't really communicate.

sometimes this shared sadness doesn't have to be romantic. it doesn't have to be anything at all. it can just be something that happened and something that is no longer happening. and if you never fell in love with it in the first place, then you don't need to feel heartbroken when you let the sad thing just feel sad until it doesn't anymore. not everything has to be The Moment Of All Time. sometimes, you just need to feel it a little less.

@tsunochizu's backwards through the snow!! this fic is my lifeblood

this scene's from chapter 15, in which iirc sig is like "ok pebbs is acting weird as hell time to get to the bottom of this" and pebbs wants some modified neuron flies for extra storage (which sig can send him the blueprints for), which ends up in them having a very... exciting video call

also I belatedly realized that the author made designs for sig and pebbs in btts but haha I am not redrawing pages~

this took me over a month I'm not even kidding
