actually i can't juxtapose the word "transphobic" next to myself even if it makes for a really funny sentence
as a writer i love to have favorite characters and play favorites by putting the characters i like writing into my story that i'm writing. it's basically my little way of saying what the story is using characters that i wrote for the story
did you know? some humans are born without souls. the unensouled exhibit what's called a "cringe reflex" which causes them to "cringe" in response to stuff that's cute and good. the cure varies by individual. a popular method for attracting souls is to wear pretty dresses with lots of bows and stuff
personally i think "girl dad" means not "a dad of a girl" but "a girl who is a dad". and i can prove it with math and science
i think i can post Naked Breasts on this account because it's literally not nudity. even if they're sooooooo big
i sincerely think the bodies of trans adults are beautiful and sexy and healthy whether or not they got the chance to transition when they wanted to. the shapes of trans people are sacred to me; like most sacred things they are also completely mundane. it is so normal to be trans. humans do this
"decisions about trans care for minors should be made by their parents" is an anti-trans policy position, inhumane to the point of absurdity, which only sounds pro-trans to people who aren't paying attention. what those words mean is "the children of bigots should be left to suffer with no recourse"
"decisions about whether or when minors access transgender medical care should be made by parents, not politicians" actually they should be made by the minors in question, who are human beings. if you don't need parental consent to experience one kind of puberty why should you need it for the other

have you seen my little fairy wife? the one who's knee-high to a rat? @valeriehalla.dicot.moe #musuwi.art
using the bike racks on the front of the bus for the first time... it's so scary how they're just held in place by one little arm on the front wheel?? how is it not going flying off into the stratosphere the first time we hit a bump??? science is incredible
if you think about it there's got to be more platonic solids than that. i reckon we just haven't tried putting the right shapes together yet. lotta shapes out there innit. has anyone tried heptagons? bit of a weird one, heptagons. quite sort of mysterious. dyou ever feel scared for no reason
one of my hottest Writing Opinions is that i kind of don't believe in the concept of "tonal whiplash". 9 times out of 10 what people mean when they complain about "tonal whiplash" isn't "the sad part was too close to the funny part", it's "one part felt sincere and the other didn't"
it's weird to me that people talk about language immersion as if it's this fringe study method you can try if you really want to. like, there isn't actually a debate here? if someone says "i want to learn baseball," then at some point they are going to have to pick up a bat! the sooner the better!

the greatest tragedy of ai will be all of the kids who never become real artists because they exhausted their momentary hyperfixation by ordering up worthless slop about it instead of scribbling out some beautiful trash on their own and getting the drawing virus permanently
you always hear about cats being let out of bags, usually unintentionally. but you never hear about a cat getting *into* a bag. nobody says, “wahoo! the cat’s in of the bag!” mankind is accruing a sinister debt and we are not prepared for the day it comes due
i struggle to vibe with the complaint about nonbinary characters in fantasy being shapeshifters. like i understand and agree that it being the default thing writers reach for represents a failure of imagination vis-à-vis how we gender bodies but i would literally be shifting the f▒▒▒ out of my shape
honestly before we even get to the fact it runs on linux or the sick-ass grid stuff or the smart piano roll that actually lets you edit across multiple clips at the same time bitwig studio wins simply for not capping the UI framerate. it’s so beautiful to see all these little moving parts at 144hz
we can literally tell the power of fluffy boys doesn't shine within you. yes it's visible. no you won't be inheriting the kingdom of heaven
Diet Pepis Diet Pepis Read ’em and wepis Diet Pepis...
i think if you’re going to make a game with grid-based 8-directional movement you should at least have the courage to make the map an {8,3} octagonal tiling of the hyperbolic plane instead of pretending it’s normal to move diagonally on a square grid. JUST saying
the secret to writing is that every time you use a “therefore” or a “whereupon” you are charging up your Real Writer Legitimacy Meter and once it’s filled up enough you can immediately spend it all to fire off the stupidest bit of dipshit wordplay ever invented
okay i promise this is the only TADC discourse i'll ever post¹ but: you guys realize his name is caine, right? not cain? caine. with an e. like novocaine? because he's some teeth? we all got that immediately as soon as we saw that name written out, right? it's like the stuff dentists use? ¹ lie
today i'm discovering how many apps' spellcheck dictionaries don't include the word "exsanguinate". what gives guys. that's such a normal word everyone knows and uses all the time??
