in the name of the moon

In honor of our very first sneak peek of the movie Wicked, my nostalgia kicked into high gear and I'm honoring one of my earliest fandom crazes with a silly little comic I'm calling "Fiyero Doesn't Get Enough Recognition For All The Shit He's Been Through."

Enjoy Fiyero having the weirdest 72 hours of his life.

Sequel comic here.

Honestly cannot blame Hua Cheng in the slightest. If the world’s most beautiful, famous man broke the sacred rules of his society to save my life not once but twice, then later showed me the only kindness in my miserable life and again broke the rules of his godhood to thank me for my offering — I too would fall absolutely inutterably in love with him and follow him everywhere

With April 8 coming up I feel the need to remind you all to NOT buy weird plants during the eclipse.

Awww, but she's so cute.

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with NPD.

You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

…..I agree with the thrust here, but what are acoustic and restarted? I think I’m getting too old for modern asshole slang.

@prismatic-bell The latter is basically a way for people to "get away" with saying the R-slur and the "acoustic" is often used in a way that-to quote an ex-friend after I told them not to say autistic in a that's so autistic way- means "Oh I don't mean autistic ,like, autistic, I mean autistic like re*arded"

or from the 1970s

Hua Cheng may have a problem

I'm just going to leave this here, because this woman said what I've been trying to articulate for ages much more effectively and succinctly than I've been able to

The fact that hualian relationship is basically Hua Cheng tying a pretty leash around his neck (a red string to represent his undying connection and devotion), giving it to Xie Lian willingly and happily and expecting him to pull as much as he wants, but also hoping others notice that his highness has complete control over him.

And Xie Lian is just: "But what does this mean and why do I like it?"

“You see this beautiful god that you all abandoned and harassed and labelled as a failure? Yeah well, I’m his little bitch. I’ll do anything this dumpster diving angel asks of me.

That food y’all cant eat without becoming comatose? Yeah, I eat that three square meals a day, it’s my literal favourite thing.

Y’all remember when I fucked up those 33 losers and you all just had to sit there and watch? Remember the centuries I spent developing a reputation that makes even the mightiest martial gods cringe when someone so much as whispers my name?

Yeah— this twice fallen, thrice ascended stunning crown prince owns me. Body, soul and scimitar. He could command me to lay face down upon the muddy earth for him to keep the soles of his shoes clean and I would do it without hesitation— though he would never ask that of me, which is just a fraction of what makes him so superior to all of you.

Scorn him now. Whisper behind his back, make fun, gossip in your filthy little groups and see where it gets you.

I dare you to look at him the same way while he is holding my leash. I dare you.”

Or… something like that. :)

i always thought of transphobia as a short hand for bigotry and not an actual phobia phobia, but this guy legit ran away from a child

"Protecting the children" they say

Jane Austen: Melodrama is too silly. If you think you see melodrama in these stories, no you didn't.

Charlotte and Emily Bronte: Melodrama is LIFE! What is life for if not for huge, soaring emotions and passionate dramatic moments?

Elizabeth Gaskell: Melodrama is great! Life is full of dramatic emotional moments! But we can also be normal about it.

And guess what? They're all valid.

“May I sleep with you?”

Adding some more quality replies from the rbs so they're all in one chain

my personal favorite:

making egg tarts without eggs is....a choice. sometimes one just has to acknowledge that a banana isn't an egg, indeed.

Ok, I was reading that last one and was thinking "ok, mashed bananas are typically touted as a good egg substitute, I can see why if this person is just newly trying-" then was knocked out by the "egg custard tart"

RIGHT???!!!

This is the feline version of an anime princess

if your knee-jerk reaction to seeing someone point out rising antisemitism and hypocrisy in leftist spaces and the pro-Palestine movement is to assume that they support Israel/genocide/ethnic cleansing/the IDF you’ve been radicalized in a really shitty way

because your first reaction upon seeing a post combating antisemitism isn’t to check your biases, it’s to get into the replies and call OP a genocide supporter instead of, you know, reading the post and checking your internal biases

because instead of recognizing that bad people are going to infiltrate your movement to spread their own agenda and it’s your job to call that out and stop it when you can, you immediately assume OP is a shill for the IDF or something

because instead of realizing that you could have accidentally spread some antisemitic tropes yourself, you immediately get defensive and angry

you sound like your conservative family going on about how all of “those” (insert race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender) people are inherently violent/evil/stupid/etc. and saying racism doesn’t exist anymore in the next sentence.

you don’t get to pick and choose which minorities are worthy of respect.

This twink wishes he was HALF the weirdo.

I love how this sentence could apply in either direction

no it couldn't. show gonzo some respect.
