letter to theo by vincent van gogh

i updated it due to current happenings

edit: FUCKING REBLOG IT. LIKES DONT MEAN SHIT!

It is funny. Recently I had a transphobe argue to me, that "well, it is all made up! Animals will still not know that you identify as a man". Which to me is so funny, because while there has never been extensive research done on this topic, there is a lot of anecdotal evidence showing the exact opposite.

As someone who has done a lot of work with animals, I can tell you, that those animals that for one reason or another like one gender more or less than another often show the same loving or hostile behavior towards people completely depending on the gender the people actually identifies as.

"Sure," some people might say, "because if you take hormons you gonna smell like the gender to an animal." But that is the funny part. Animals often act according to that with trans adults who are still in egg mode. Who have not come out yet. And nobody knows why and how they can tell.

But some of the harsher animals with a "gender preference in humans" are like the best trans indicators. You have not admitted to yourself you are a guy? Yeah, this cat is gonna hate you anyways. Because this cat hates men.

Sincerely the guy who got attacked by this one fucking bunny, who didn't like dudes, several times

its so sad that radfem just means transphobe and not like. this

How to protect yourself during stampede

AU where Suguru comes back to life after Kenjaku fails to posses his body, at least fully. He’s a traumatized mess, but at least Shoko there to keep him company.

Our Tanabata - A SatoSugu Fic

To manage with some personal feelings of loss, and a recent one at that, I wrote this short one-shot! I hope you enjoy~

Title: Our Tanabata Pairing: Past Satoru Gojo/Suguru Geto Summary: When couples go around celebrating one of the most romantic days of the year, his students believe that Gojo is going out for a date, so they follow him. Much to their surprise their teacher visits a cemetery instead of a fancy restaurant, and says some words that they weren’t supposed to hear. AO3 Link:

"Tell your baby that im your baby"

satoru gojo x suguru geto (satosugu angst)

content: miscommunication, insecurities, angst, gojo's pov :3 requested by one of my friends!! inspired by "i bet on losing dogs" by mitski!!

I lived in a universe with no walls, no signs, no rules. I lived in a universe specifically made for me and him. We were the strongest. We had a reputation to uphold. As I looked up at the sky, I wished for one thing that could destroy me. I asked the stars to let me and him meet again.

For a moment, I wish I cursed him. I wish I could've ignored him again. I kept everything a secret on purpose, I won't let them have you. I won't let our love be a waste even if I have to scream your name to be heard. I just wish you didn't leave me like this.

I formed a new house, a very tall house with a new generation. Outside, there's a riot in the street. Inside, there's a chorus line we've practiced for you. There's patches along the brick wall from all the screaming but no one heard, no one sees the truth.

When you left and threw the first stone, I couldn't help but throw it back to you. Your eyes once filled with stars have built a new universe. A universe meant for you and a new family that didn't include me.

Tell them I was there for you first. I was the one who showed you the truth behind the stars and the moon. I bet on my happiness for yours, but I was too late to be on your side. I paid for my place next to you, I gave you my youth.

Don't watch me die alone. Just know I left you a spot. I had to come back and save you something, even if it costed me my life. I wanted to feel love with you like how I remember before we seperated. The night breeze in Shibuya carried something bittersweet. A man who impressed me as much as you, was you. I heard a word from you which was enough to make me jump off our bridge. I was left with memories of our youth and a future without you.

Even though you're killing me, I still need you. I need you more in my life. I can't do everything by myself anymore.

We were so young when we had to save the world. We have to get away from this place. Our broken universe has built walls to lock us inside. Please hurry and leave me before I can process my love for you.

I know I'm never gonna love until we meet each other again.

I have decided that blast to the past is canon in the 2012 TMNT universe. Idc that it's like a spin off movie or whatever. They made dino friends and they use the kraang portals to visit them sometimes.

Your art is spectacular!!! Can I get an amen?!

What do you like about my art?

I would like to start a petition to change Hagakure's hero name from "Invisible Girl" to something like Ultra Violet. It just sounds better, like yes we know you're invisible but at least be creative with it. Plus this way her hero name kinda plays off the UA motto.

This is something that I think about a lot recently but like kirishima could just turn off his hearing. K so like I remembered that I order to hear things there are little hairs in your eardrum that vibrate and send signals to your brain. Kirishima can just harden his ears and then he'll be protected from Mic and Shinsou (sorry idk how to spell his name and I'm to lazy to look).

The bakusquad all have nicknames for each other and one of kirishima's is Kirbear

I will not be taking arguments thank you

How did Hagakure get into UA? Bc she's just invisible and atp she didn't have her light refractor ultimate move or whatever right? So how did she get enough points to get into UA? Like did she punch the giant robots really hard or steal points from other people? Both of those scenarios make me a lot more wary of her. Bc either she's super strong or she's not afraid to play dirty, or yk there's some third option that I've totally missed.

Ok so I found this song the other day and I've been listening to it on repeat when the kiribaku brain rot took over. If you have never heard tunnel vision by egg I recommend you do because it is LITERALLY JUST BAKUGUO PINING FOR KIRISHIMA!!! I AM LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS!

Please if someone could draw this it would be great bc I can't draw for shit
