With alt text because this made me cry 😭
Screenshot from what-even-is-thiss tumblr "Cats don't actually love you" A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food. Don't you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it's helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family. Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

Just as an FYI: DuckDuckGo now allows you to turn off ALL AI bs and it hides AI-generated images. So, I think that this makes it by far the superior alternative to Google duckduckgo.com

How disappointing to see the new White Wolf embracing AI. Immediately not interested in whatever game(s) they produce under those conditions
A screenshot of a question from new White Wolf's job appplication that reads, "In our dynamic work environment, we embrace tbe integration of AI tools to enhance efficiency and innovation. Could you share any experiences you have using AI tool in your workflow?"

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection born of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

My humble opinion is that you could rock a look like this
Deedlit, a young elf mage from Record of Lodoss War. Anime style, she has ridiculously long, sharp ears, long blonde hair, big blue shoulder pads and a thin-ass rapier sword. She's wearing a short green dress and long brown boots under everything, and a red cape

Here's with alt-text!
"It's a scientific fact that humans come in two varieties: XX for female and XY for male." Except •You can be born appearing female, but have a 5-alpha reductase deficiency and grow a penis at age 12. •You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, but your body is insensitive to androgens, and you appear female. •You can be born legally male with an X and a Y. chromosome, and have a penis and testes, *and* a uterus and fallopian tubes. •You can be born legally male with an X and aY chromosome, but your chromosome is missing the SRY gene, which gives you a female body. • You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but one of the Xs has an SRY gene, which gives you a male body. •You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes - and also a Y chromosome, which gives you a male body. •You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but your adrenal gland doesn't produce enough cortisol, and your body develops as a male. You can be born with XX chromosomes - *and* XY chromosomes (chimerism). So the next time you attempt to use science as justification for your bigotry, remember that God created humans in many variations, and maybe stop trying to stuff everyone into little "male or female" checkboxes.

We were watching The Tiger's Apprentice with my niece, and then the dragon character (the tall lady with white hair pictured below) appeared.

I've seen her irl. Plenty of beautiful trans femmes here look like her! 😍🖤
A screenshot of The Tiger's Apprentice. From left to right we have a small woman with short hair in a red & yellow, sleeveless shirt. A tall woman with a white mohawk and purple jacket. A short man with glasses, short hair, and a striped green & yellow vest. A tall man with short peppered hair and a beard & moustache wearing black leather jacket, with a red shirt underneath and jeans. Finally, there's an adolescent man with short hair and a bright yellow hoodie

Now dear Théodred lies in darkness, most loyal of fighters. The sound of the harp shall not wake the warrior; nor shall the man hold a golden wine-cup, nor good hawk swing through the hall, nor the swift horse stamp in the courtyard. An evil death has set forth the noble warrior A song shall sing the sorrowing minstrels of Meduseld That noble cousin, who always held me dear Now is held in darkness, enclosed.

This one's easy!. I could be posting all day! 😂 This one is the best goth metal record of all time, IMNSHO.

a perfect album from the 90s that isn't grunge
The cover art for Theatre of Tragedy's perfect record "Velvet Darkness They Fear". It depicts a woman lying on a purple satin bed, her chest half exposed, and her head covered by her long black hair, with a couple of red roses to the left. The lettering is handwriting-like and flowery, in gold letters.

5. Liliana Vess. My fav #mtg character, her story is such a tragedy! 🥺 She's my goth queen of the (un)dead, & the only long fanfic I've ever written was about the redemption arc she deserved post-WotS. Her biting charm & sarcasm melts me, & her outfits murder me. I wanna be her & wanna be WITH her 😍
Liliana Vess, as depicted in the card Macabre Waltz. She's dancing with a vals with zombie she reanimated. She has long black hair combed back and held in place by a golden hairpiece. She's wearing a purple dress with golden trimmings and long-sleeved gloves.

4. Yennefer of Vengerberg. The main reason I've read the Witcher books and "played" (watched people playing) the games. She's so cool and interesting—and most definitely trans, IMNSHO. Her tender side is her best side (esp. as "mom"), but I love all she is, warts & all. I'd do anything for her 🥺🖤
Yennefer of Vengerberg, as depicted in The Witcher 3 game. She has long, wavy black hair, violet eyes, and she's dressed mostly in black, with some white accents here & there.

3. Raistlin Majere. I'm full of problematic faves 😛. Raistlin's an asshole, but he is MY asshole. He's a narcissistic megalomaniac, but he still manages to be magnetically attractive, especially because he's super smart. He's just a misunderstood goth boy, and I could definitely fix him 😂
Raistlin Majere (in his black-robed version) as depicted by Greenedera. He looks like a withered young man with golden skin, gray hair, eyes with pupils like hourglasses, and a black robe with golden trimmings. He's leaning on wooden staff.

2. Éowyn. LotR is my fav book EVER &, for the past decade, Éowyn has remained my fav character. She's so brave & inspiring & poetic & tragic. Her journey & victory inspire me more than anything else. Ofc I read her as trans, and I heavily identify w/her. When I came out, I wrote an essay about it 🖤
Éowyn as depicted in the Bakshi film. She's an animated, long-haired blonde female warrior, a sword on her right hand and a shield on her right, wearing blue clothes and a green cloak. She looks fiercely determined.
