i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck
So I'm a big Lemon Demon nerd if that wasn't obvious by. the everything about me. so I frequently peruse and order from Needlejuice Records and I'm currently listening to Icosahedron's World Wide Web and my god go listen to that shit right now I'm in such a good mood and the color pallet on that cassette? Fucking chefs kiss in the words of a best friend of mine, it itches my brain
Just wrote a scene where a character comes out and I was a bit like "it feels a little unrealistic that they'd be so casual+nervous about it" and then I remembered my friend coming out to our little friend group by saying "I'm bi" and then just fucking doing the floss dance while looking fairly nervous
When you forget you have Tumblr for an entire month anyways I'm gonna make my button up shirt transgender
No but seriously mens and womens button shirts have buttons on opposite sides; left over right for mens and vice versa for womens. It's apparently disputed by historians as to why but I think it's because men were expected to dress themselves and everyone was expected to be right handed and women would get help buttoning their shirts but what do I know
Anyways I have two pairs of the same button up shirts and I'm going to switch the sides that the buttons are on
Top surgery, if you will
you know the drill, op disabled reblogs etc etc etc
You.
I have been waiting for you.
My fellow hellsite Gatsby enthusiasts, I present to you my first semester English final;
The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest examples of an unreliable narrator, and in consequence, has possibly the best grounds for a viable queer theory thanks to the deceptive Nick Carraway and his internalized fondness for Jay Gatsby. Nick is terribly dishonest to both the reader and himself at most turns. He paints himself in the best light he can, shields the reader's view from what he assumes is undesirable, but he’s admittedly horrible at it, slipping up frequently enough for it to be glaring. Nick and Gatsby’s bond is formed entirely on Gatsby’s lies and later honesty, and cannot go beyond that both due to Gatsby’s death and Nick’s own restraint on his emotions and passions. Nick comments on how he is “... slow-thinking and full of interior rules that act as brakes on my desires…” (Fitzgerald 64), and that kind of restraint is found often in queer people, and would be especially applicable in the American 1920s. His biased adoration and blind devotion to Gatsby is even mentioned at the very beginning, “Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction” (Fitzgerald 2). Nick lying to the reader can also be him lying to himself, trying to convince himself that his affection for Gatsby was sheerly platonic, and the constant refute― and accidental disproving― that Gatsby is the only exception to his “strict moral code” comes across as violently self-preserving. This preservation is highly suspect in most scenarios, however if Nick is to be interpreted as queer, this becomes not just understandable, but entirely necessary.
Nick Carraway's utter fascination― leaning heavily into infatuation― with Gatsby forms despite being aware of Gatsby’s lies. He meets Gatsby after being fed various outlandish rumors by various party guests, going on to describe his smile as “...one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced― or seemed to face― the whole external world for an instant and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey” (Fitzgerald 48). Though Gatsby trusts Nick, even going as far as to entrust him with the story of James Gatz, he is chasing after the metaphorical ghost of Daisy Buchanan, going after her and away from Nick, who understands him, trusts him, and does not think less of him. Nick is aware of the immorality of everything that creates Gatsby, from the bootlegging, to reckless driving, to the affair with a married woman, and trying to convince said married woman to run away from her husband and child with him. Nick is the only person in Gatsby's life aware of all of this, an active participant despite his insistence that he is unbiased. He claims desperately that he disapproves of Gatsby, but even is his attempts to hide his adoring bias, he describes Gatsby as having “something gorgeous about him” and “a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again” (Fitzgerald 4). Despite Gatsby’s admittedly horrible moral code, Nick says that “Gatsby turned out all right at the end…” (Fitzgerald 4), and even goes so far as to have his sole compliment to him be “They’re a rotten crowd… You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together” (Fitzgerald 154). Nick doesn’t disapprove of Gatsby, he puts the man on a pedestal far above anyone else.
I'd like to mention that we were in fact not supposed to have written this out beforehand, but I'm too enthusiastic for my own good

People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from
I'm glad my post about doing lightly funny shit for finals is still popular a year after I did it, and I'd like you all to know that for this year's English final, I wrote about Fallout for more than half of a paper on Brave New World which was supposed to be about if we were in danger of becoming like the society of the book. I got 23/25 on it.

I'm obsessed with Spider-Man but like. Only by proxy. Like I see all the headcanons, I get clips of the Avengers cast on my Instagram feed, but like. I've only seen two Spider-Man movies, and even then, it was like, only the beginnings of them. I own a poster of the comics. I'm gonna buy the newest Spider-Man game and probably a suit eventually. But like. I'm only in this fandom in the sense of like I have the basic gist of Peter Parker.
Wait wait wait what do you mean The Smiths is "male-manipulator-music" is this a thing I just associate it with my fellow sad trans people what do you mean it's for the Patrick Bateman/Scott Pilgrim types
Here's a primarily visual guide on Things To Think About when you draw that white guy. And it's not even everything I know! And there's a lot of stuff I cut out! And it's just his head!
Study up, folks. This will be on the test.
