“Why are so many trans girls into werewolves and robots and slime and monsters?”
Because society views us as monsters. And when you’re viewed that way you have two options.
The first, you can break yourself. You can take a knife and carve off all the corners, take sandpaper and smooth all your rough edges, you can take everything remotely variant about you and you can try and obliterate it in order to make yourself acceptable to people who do not know you and never will.
The second option is that you can say “okay, if I’m a monster I’m going to enjoy being a monster. I’m going to take those rough edges and rough them up some more. I’m going to take all my sharp corners and make them knife edged. I’m going to embrace how weird and broken and fucked up I am and I’m going to make it a part of me. I’m going to love, fight, live, and die as a freak, but I’m going to do it on my terms and no one else’s”
I’m never going to be cis. I’m never going to be straight. In fact I’d rather die than be either of those. So I’m going to take what I am and make it my power instead of my shame.
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
Never posted anything worthwhile in Tumblr, but today is the day post this map of the SCP Multiverse I did a couple of months ago.
It burned me out pretty heavily, but it turned out as confusing as I expected.
every so often i try to lick my elbow just to feel something, anything
the way that taz balance, in the stolen century and in the finale, used bonds as like, a mechanical thing? absolutely choice.
like it's just a box on the character sheet in dnd 5e that most people probably don't really fill out. to take something that's abstract like that, just a flavor element, and make it have like... tangible gameplay utility and repercussions?
i can't put a finger on why but it resonates with me just so much.
good news mtg players i've gotten exclusive spoilers for the next set of designed-for-commander chase rares
LEGO TTRPG with supplements for all the different themes.
Constantly thinking about gay blade from the Eric Andre show
hmm yes evil librarian
Monster Manual entries often (especially in earlier editions) have throw away lines like "Betentacled Faceslurpers are often hired by evil historians for their ability to recall the memories of every pereon whose face they've slurped", or "Literary Horrors often make their nests among well stocked bookshelves and for this reason evil librarians will employ them as security" and then never elaborate on what these evil versions of regular professions are like.
Fix this by running a game where the entire party is comprised of evil versions of mundane jobs. If they won't tell you what an evil cartographer or archivist even does you'll find out yourself.
