Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

🦉

My partner critiques my fics in memes, I felt this on a very personal level.

i genuinely really like how sea of thieves handles gendering your player character, in that it does not bother at all, because it doesn't matter. you choose different body types and they have gendered attributes, but you can wear dresses and have beards regardless of gender, and the game never refers to you by a pronoun or gendered article. it's not perfect, but it is nice

Too burnt out to draw pookie, but they're not safe from shitposting

nothing to say for myself. enjoy.

Solaprunk Worldbuilding 1 - Eco-Cities

I've been working on worldbuilding a solarpunk setting for a slice of life story I'm writing and thought I'd share some of my ideas to maybe inspire other people!

In this world there is no government, no rules, no pressures or bad people. Just society working together after a global crash. A second chance to do things right this time.

Although far and few in between, big cities and towns still exist in this universe. However, they've all worked hard to keep it as eco-friendly as possible and still choose to live alongside and work with nature rather than fight it.

Trash and recyclingcans can now be found almost everywhere, giving no one an excuse to litter. Community composters are also a thing.

Skyscrapers, now skeletons of the old world, are draped in thick ivy vine walls, native flowering vines, moss panels, and vertical hydroponics that wrap around the metal and glass bones. These help regulate temperature, absorb CO2, and create habitats fors birds and insects.

Former office buildings and shopping centers like malls have been repurposed into shared living spaces, community markets, workshops, and event areas. Floors have open walls and breeze tunnels to reduce reliance on cooling systems. Those can be shut during colder months.

In taller districts, tree houses extend from reclaimed buildings, blending organically with planted rooftop forests. Rope bridges and wind-activated elevators made if recycled parts help people travel between vertical spaces.

Cities are completely walkable and don't require transportation. Streets are narrow and shaded with plant canopies. Most paved areas are soft permeable cobblestone or moss-tile paths that allow rain to soak through instead of pooling or flooding.

Painted murals double as maps - bold, hand-painted designs show landmarks, walking trails, tram routes, and local art projects. Updated regularly by volunteers.

Giant sculpted trees or mushrooms function ad rainwater collectors, solar lanterns, or even mist sprayers during hot days. Children often climb on them or gather nearby to play. They can also provide shade.

Metal "bike trees" hold dozens if free-to-use bikes, all maintained by volunteers. Bikes come in all colors and sizes, some decorated with flowers or art to reflect the community's personality.

Solar Trams glide quietly on narrow tracks. They're sleek but not flashy, designed with recycled metals and glass. Inside, seats are made from reclaimed wood, each with a small solar lamp or charging port. Solar Buses work in a similar fashion.

Public Plazas now have eco-escalators that are powered by pedaling like on a bike.

Interactive screens at intersections and stops show local events, weather and climate, community votes or messages, and tutorial videos on composting, repair, herbal medicine, or art-making. Digital marketing and advertisements are no more.

Most people carry small, solar-powered devices that have replaced phones called "Data Stones" - slate-like digital notebooks that sync to the city's mesh network. People use them for Journaling, mapping, music, or community messaging, but never for mindless scrolling. Digital use is intentional, not addictive.

The internet exists, but it's localized. Instead of one global net, each town or city has a mesh intranet. Communities upload and share stories, tech guides, magazines, songs, and documentaries- all accessible for free.

At every city node is a "Commons Booth"-a repurposed phone booth now used for small trades, gifts, or lost-and-found. You might find a hand-knit hat, seeds, poems in a bottle, hand-bound journals, or a small bag if dried herbs for tea.

Public parks host weekly workshops: mushroom log inoculation, fixing Guardianers, upcycling old tech, dyeing fabrics with natural materials, and crafting musical instruments from trash.

Fireflies are protected and welcomed into urban life with dedicated "nightlight gardens"- small glowing sanctuaries that bloom under moonlight (usually a mix of regular and bioluminescent plants). People sit quietly here, reading or singing. Festivals are celebrated not with fireworks, but light dances, candlelit parades, or bioluminescent art. It's also a romantic place for a date.

Children and adults alike use "Learning Loops"- open-air circles of benches and tree stumps near gardens and community spaces where mentors teach based on skills, not age. There's no formal school system. Learning is woven into life.

On a certain day each month, citizens volunteer to teach something for free-sailing knots, solar repair, compost chemistry, storytelling, mediation, bird language. The city slows down that day. It's treated like a holiday.

In addition to tire-posted Little Libraries (where people can take a book and leave one in it's place), entire alleys have been converted into "Book Gardens"- free libraries under pergolas or vines, surrounded by reading hammocks and native wildflowers.

Local businesses and shops are still a thing, but are not kept up by money. Money has no use in this world anymore. Businesses upkeep it themselves and will happily trade their wares for something in return. For example, a bakery can trade a cake for something in return like a jar of jam or something else. It's like that everywhere.

Citizens enjoy solar-charged cooking stoves, clean water from centralized purification systems, access to upcycled tech, 3D-printed tools, and digital artist hubs.

Markets overflow with herbs, handmade instruments, mushroom leathers, fermented goods, and hand-bound books from across the region. Some city dwellers specialize in creating high-tech eco-dafe goods to trade with the countryside.

Most people live in co-housing clusters or share entire floors of old skyscrapers converted into lush indoor gardens and social spaces. They might not know everyone, but each block has caretakers and community gatherings.

They're alive with creativity and innovation. Mural projects, street musicians using windows instruments powered by movement, and holographic poetry displays powered by pedals or solar generators.

With more people comes more variety in skills. It's common to find classes in herbalism, robotics, or solar carpentry happening daily in public courtyards.

The ideas are free to use for whatever you want or use for inspiration! All I ask is that you CREDIT ME! And feel free to send me an ask on more details to this lovely world :)

Let's appreciate the Appearance feature in Hogwarts Legacy for once.

Inspired by a skit by ProZD on Youtube:

Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?

No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people

reblog if you think aros and aces (or anyone on the aroace spectrum) are queer

trying to prove something to my mother ^^

ok im writing a take on the whole bisexual tr!pangi thing that is acutally grounded in canon bc I have thoughts.

I think Pili/Mocha was Pangi's bi awakening but that the experience was so damaging that he is unable to be open about it now. I think Pangi realised he was in love with Mocha about when they had their first fight but as he was falling for him, Mocha was starting to distance himself from Pangi.

When Mocha died he did so pursuing someone else (quasiromantically) and Pangi never got to say "I love you" even though he was about to. Pangi also believed that Mocha didn't reciprocate his love and while he was wrong it was definitely a reasonable thing to believe as Mocha was actively avoiding him at that point.

Following Mocha's death Pangi closed himself off. People were mocking him for losing his closest companion and poking fun at the nature of the relationship. This hurt especially bc Pangi was never sure what the nature of the relationship was and Mocha didn't even give him a farewell book like so many others got.

Pangi was ready to put himself out there but he got hurt so badly that now he is afraid to. Sure he may joke but Pangi Never is vulnerable with anyone. There is a chance you could argue he tries to be with Ros but even then he is very guarded.

I also think Mocha's death is where his protectiveness comes from because he is afraid of losing someone again so he will defend them and give them what they need to stay safe.

Then Pili comes back as Pili2 (Who I will just refer to as Pili). This person who looks very similar to his lost love but does not recognize him and behaves very differently.

Our of confusion and uncertainty and maybe a little obsession and resentment Pangi makes a bad decision. He stalks Pili. This makes Pili rightfully scared of him and makes people view him as obsessive and dangerous. But then after a few days he realizes that what he is trying to do isn't healthy. Pili and Mocha are different people and he needs to move on. He has been hurt enough, he wants to close the wound. (it doesn't work but thats not super important for this topic)

Then Lukey comes around and after a few weeks its clear that both Lukey and Pangi like each other romantically. But still Pangi doesn't put himself out there. He conceals his emotions and discourages all vulnerability (see the helmet thing).

Slowly though we are seeing that start to chagne. I think that Pangi is trying to fix all the mistakes he made with Mocha. He tells him that he loves him early, before it is too late. He doesn't let him get away with doing risky things. He makes sure they actually talk to each other and makes sure Lukey doesn't feel like he has to hide things.

But Pangi is still hiding things. Even though he is open with his affection he will never speak the romantic part aloud because he is too scared, too hurt.

i regret a lot of things but i dont regret becoming myself

One interesting thing I've noticed is that other people on the server use a mixed iteration of the words faction member / [faction colour] member / [name of faction] member to refer to their faction members but the lifestealers on the server almost always use the word "teammate" when referring to their faction members which is really interesting. Old habits die hard and all that

ace flag colourpicked from a Harry Potter book

JK Rowling made a disgusting (and badly researched) post about asexuals yesterday. So here's the ace flag colourpicked from the front cover of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Fuck you Rowling.

Arcane Tides; Shadows of the Abyss

In the cursed waters of the Shadow Isles, rival pirate crews led by the chaotic Jinx and the hardened Vi race to claim the Tidebinders—ancient gemstones that command the sea’s fury. But as the sisters clash in treacherous storms, haunted labyrinths, and the jaws of a spectral leviathan, the relics’ power begins to corrupt them, twisting old wounds into weapons. With the final gem, The Tempest’s Eye, capable of drowning the world, Jinx and Vi must decide: destroy each other for the prize, or face the drowned god rising beneath them—and the past that binds them tighter than any chain.
