Yeah, people who have a deterministic outlook or believe that things can't change tend to use that as an excuse for their shitty behavior rather than actually engage with the concept of everything being pointless or futile.
Hello Mr Sims! On a scale of 1-10 how much do you believe in free will? 1 being everything is entirely determined and 10 being everything is free will
I do not believe the future is determined in any external way. I do believe that if every single neuron of someone's brain were fully and completely understood and mapped out down to the moment a decision is made, and every single micro- and macroscopic factor affecting that decision was also understood, then it would be possible to completely predict a person's course of action. Now, obviously, we will never have anything close to the ability to do that, and even if we did that knowing itself alter the equation. Our minds and realities are so infinitely complex that such a thing is impossible, so for all practical purposes we have free will.
What would that be... a 5?

That makes a lot of sense, actually. And is probably a big part of why I love their music.
thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'
thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'
thinking about how the idea of aromanticism isn't nearly as widespread as it is on Tumblr/various other corners of the internet
thinking about how most people would probably assume the use of Aromantic as a descriptor would imply a lack of any kind of love or romance or close interpersonal relationships in their music which is INHERENTLY NOT TRUE
thinking about Lovejoy choosing Aromantic specifically, confident enough in understanding the actual concept/culture of aromanticism to describe their entire band
thinking about the potential for there to be someone(s) in Lovejoy who is either on the Aromantic spectrum or has considered it as a possibility and has researched it to understand it (and maybe themselves) better
thinking about hard about Lovejoys songs and realising that despite a few having vaguely romantic or implied romantic connotations, you could absolutely do an aro-spec reading of their whole discography
thinking about Lovejoy becoming part of Aro Culture in my heart
thinking about being aro-spec myself, and how id consider the term 'lovejoy' to still very much be my vibe despite that.
thinking about self described Aromantic British Noises, Lovejoy.
thinking about Lovejoy.

put your favorite tma character and your favorite tmagp character in the tags please im doing science. you have to pick ONE for each. good luck. if you haven't listened to one or the other just put your favorite from the one you have listened to?
Yep! Safe space for everyone. The only kind of weird not allowed here is the predatory kind.
Also ... I myself am a werid tranny, so I fuckin hope my blog is safe for myself.
Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.
We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.
A request from Twiiter. Iām open to drawing requests right now, given that I like the idea and have the energy for it
I need some advice. Outing myself a bit here, but im a trans guy who is finally getting out from under my parents. Going into this US election, my dad is going to vote for Trump again, along with a large portion of his family. I came out to them more than a year ago, but they have decided not to respect my chosen name, opting to use my dead name instead. They have made it blatantly clear they dont support my transition, but also cant do anything to stop it.
And yet despite how much they've hurt me I still love them. I miss traveling with them, and going to gaming conventions. I miss just hanging out and watching shows with them. I really dont know what to do in this situation. Every time I interact with them my mental health gets worse. I've thought about going no contact, but without them I dont know what I would do. Not to mention some of my supportive family members probably wouldnt talk to me anymore if I did that.
Anyone out there actually manage to change their parents minds to be supportive of their transition? Or any thoughts or advice would be great, im just at a loss of what to do at this point.
What would villainous be like if it was on adult swim?
Lots of swears! Especially from Demencia and even Black Hat. Blood, cannibalism, lots of murder⦠Just horrible things. Part of me wishes it was actually on adult swim, but Alan seems to want the challenge of putting such a potentially scary and dark show on kidās TV.Ā
Ah, well shit. This is gonna hit me in the face aint it?
okay i just read an INCREDIBLE apocalyptic/supernatural/religious horror novel with a trans gay male protagonist and incredible portrayals of religious trauma, body horror, and reclamation of your identity being seen as like, screwed up and disgusting. i know this isnāt the kind of thing you usually post about but itās such a good damn book i had to recommend it. itās called Hell Followed With Us by andrew joseph white. it made me sob at so many parts and it depicts found family queerness so well and has a canon autistic character and AUUUUHHHHHH itās so good. if anyone wants to read it thereās a copy up on OceanOfPdf !!
That sounds awesome!!!
Here's the description from the author's website:
Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised himāthe fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the worldās population. Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult canāt get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with. But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALCās leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benjiās darkest secret: the cultās bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all. Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong, Benji accepts Nickās termsā¦until he discovers the ALCās mysterious leader has a hidden agenda, and more than a few secrets of his own.
Also look at this gorgeous cover:
Him and Johnny, I swear

[ID in alt text] 3/15 of my LGBTQIA+ boots series! genderqueer flag themedš I'll be posting 1+ per week until the 1st of pride month š³ļøāš and then I'll post all of them! - stickers or prints of this series here
Been approaching this idea for a while. We make our own enrichment, which is bard and spoons byt worth it in the end. Just wish I could find more people near me who also thought that way.
This is my main tumblr. It's going to be filled with random things that are cool. This includes technology, space, some fandom stuff, and sometimes PSA's. Have fun, and maybe find something new.
