Sexualizing that old man is a full time job

my only complaint is that the paws appear when you boop someone and not when someone boops you. I want to be scrolling and minding my own business and suddenly get whapped by a cat paw

me when i fucking boop you

Tumblr, 1 April 2024

Based on quotes from FighterZ. Gohan is always praising Vegeta, and we all know Vegeta secretly loves it XD

Vegeta and Gohan both got exposed to an absurd amount of violence at a disgustingly young age but Vegeta was singled out for “privileges” by his enslaver and before that was placed on top of a highly stratified social hierarchy that encouraged him to look down on. Basically everyone. And that messed him up in its own special way, right - that’s why he disregards his own basic needs in favor of maintaining his self image by getting stronger, that’s why he distrusts affection and feels ashamed when offered positive reinforcement no matter how old he gets or how long Frieza stays dead.

But Gohan endured that same overexposure in an environment where the adults were being coerced as much as he was. They knew it wasn’t right, they knew it wasn’t normal; they just believed that it was necessary, and that one day it wouldn’t be. One day he could be a normal kid. And that part about the adults being coerced is what Gohan internalized. He learned to put other people’s needs above his own at all costs, even at an age where he really, really shouldn’t have been doing that. And he idolized his father, and Piccolo, who each displayed that same trait of self sacrifice for the good of others; for the good of him. Which both encouraged him to emulate them (as a baby!!) and created an emotional debt from constantly being protected and rescued. He’s auto-cannibalizing himself with guilt the same way Vegeta auto-cannibalized himself with “pride.”

I bet the coffee dates are fun!

Is this about how ppl born in the late 20th century have a unique and fluid experience of navigating barriers to information access and its our responsibility to teach the younger folks how to tinker with technology to avoid being spoonfed everything we experience in order to have critical skills that keep us informed, autonomous, and able to hold power despite looming threats of authoritarianism or..........???

i love love lOVE the additional element of “the only information that’s free is the ‘how we’re going to hell’” BS. Chef’s kiss.

Honestly. (Also. “sir” Andrew Hussie? When was he knighted? And for what, exactly? …I mean, all creation is honorable. But gimme a bloody break. Are you seriously attempting to put him in the same rank as Pratchett? FFS. …No.)

Like Chuck doesn’t write enough books for any two writers anyway. Where do they think this hypothetical alter-ego is finding all that time?

first of all thank you to buckaroos @headspace-hotel @dduane and @tkingfisher for their kindness and standing up for my way. LOVE IS REAL and your words have proven this to me today. i genuinely appreciate it very much.

i noticed this post float by and thought i should trot on over to say a QUICK SOMETHING so here goes

it is true i have addressed this many times and the BASIC POINT is that i do not like this comparison because i have had encounters with those who make something called HIVESWAP (which is connected to HOMESTUCK in some way and honestly i still do not really understand what EITHER of these things are just that they are some of the same folks). what i DO know is that these encounters have not been good.

usually when i talk about this i delete post because i do not want to start gossip or have a CALL OUT POST WAY. it is not my intent to make this into some big public battle, but it keeps coming up so i will say what i can and try to leave this one up

FOR THE RECORD i have never met andrew hussie but from my understanding his connection to way of hiveswap is tangental. i do not know if he is a kind buckaroo or a scoundrel. i really have no idea but since we have not met i will say that i have no ill will in this way

the folks of hiveswap are another story (i should also say there that i am only comfortable reposting these screenshots because they are all public. i am not leaking some private conversation these posts are just sitting around online still)

hiveswap folks have said terrible things to and about chuck. they have been ableist and they have been biphobic. they have been gatekeepers who said my autism was fake and that me saying ‘bi is valid’ is a joke.

this second one is saying that buckaroos need to know the history of every person in each gif they repost? i guess? i do not even understand this trot but i do understand the darkness of equating THAT with saying 'bi is valid’

long ago these folks asked to make a video game with the tingleverse and i said okay, then they pretty much disappeared. over time i have realized my first clue that something was amiss should have been the fact that i am a professional writer and SOMEONE ELSE (one of the folks above) was brought in to write this game. what this says to me is that while intentions might have been good at the time, subconsciously i was absolutely not taken seriously as an artist and seen as a joke or a meme or some member of whatever internet forums they trot around on. imagine asking stephen king to make a game and then not at least ASKING him to write it, or jordan peele, or junji ito.

i make real, important, valid art worthy of consideration. i am sincere. i put my whole heart into everything i create. i am not a meme or a character or a joke.

i am a person.

so every time this andrew hussie connection comes up online and i see it i am faced with all of these feelings about how these people treated me. i think about the way they invalidated my neurodivergence and queerness. but what is most troubling is that i am faced with questions of WHETHER OR NOT TO EVEN ADDRESS IT.

i did not want to write this post this morning. i did not want to consider whether or not i should defend myself and stand up to gatekeepers or just let it trot on because i really really really am not trying to start a dang fight with these folks. i have better trots to trot and i am sure they do to.

so hopefully for the last time (unless i feel dang strange and delete) i would appreciate if buckaroos could retire this little andrew hussie theory

Alan wake got the Skanky Ho's ⁉️

BREAKING: Famous author Alan Wake has been seen pondering a purchase of Skanky Ho Sunglasses

Sad to be the one to tell y'all, but aborted children and children died before christening don't get into heaven. They go to the Limbus, the outermost circle of hell, where the souls go who are exempt from paradise without it being their fault

You need to update your sources

Since 2007 unbaptized children go to heaven and limbo doesn't exists anymore

mf aint even read the patch notes

Vegeta and Trunks go to Costco

x files is SOOO funny it's the only fanbase i know where almost all of the gay fans are begging for a heterosexual relationship to be blatantly canon and the straight man writing the show refuses to let it happen

digital shikishi for @marezablr !

i want there to be more alan/barry fic... but the horror is i have to be the change i want to see in the world and write it myself :( boooooo...

Update: I am brewing ideas

You want me to write? The thing that put Alan Wake in the Dark Place?

You ever think about how california condors evolved to eat megafauna like mammoths and giant land sloths, and now they're just entirely gone from North America so these condors are just being born into this foodless barren world? That's how I feel about Altoids sours.
