watching walkabout with Jenny and she just called John Locke “the most awesome character in fiction” and we haven’t even finished the episode… and she has no idea

watching lost with Jenny. spreading the autistic jack shephard agenda.

thank you all for reminding me that I am not a quitter

keep in mind that I will do whatever I want . in the end

should I

funniest part is I don’t even think I’ve told coworker 2 about my pronouns

my friend and coworker: (directing a customer to me) “They can help you!”
coworker 2, walking past: “Good pronouns!”

got they/themmed by a customer? no pronoun pin?

need to watch mlp in its entirety. too many people have called me twilight sparkle and of course i get it but i want to FULLY get it.

My plane from the UK to the US lands. I turn off airplane mode. Immediately get a message from a group chat saying there are rumors King Charles is dead. Did I do this?

Jenny and I are together in person rn :)

and nepeta spends the whole date being awkward and shy and hesitant and not knowing how to react, only to wind up talking about the guy she had a crush on anyways (karkat), and then immediately combines with the most repressed bisexual guy character in the comic and becomes nonbinary and the happiest most confident and powerful version of themselves while the lesbian is distraught and upset that they’re no longer a viable romantic option for her.

it’s funny to me because I think the most damning evidence for transmasc nepeta is in act 6 act 6 intermission 5, when she is roped into a date by a deranged lonely lesbian who clearly doesn’t see her as a person and just as a a possible girlfriend (sorry Jasprose) (continued in next trill)

I will say it’s not like i care very much or am upset by the nepeta femslash as long as people aren’t pretending they’re a better or more interesting alternative to the complex relationships between women that ACTUALLY exist in canon. bc there are many girls that are nepetas at age 13 that end up growing up into gay girls (like me!). however there are also many other girls who are nepetas at age 13 who grow up into gay boys… which is why I’m very endeared to Anthy’s trans man nepetas.

she's not important to my kin "selfhood" now really, nor was she the character in homestuck i related to the most, even. but it feels like a disservice to horribly awkward child joey to not grant her a spot on the onions, bc at a very young age i saw the similarities and felt them deeply. it's a testament to andrew hussie that even a throwaway character can be such an almost uncomfortably accurate portrayal of a very real type of child

i feel differently about nepeta than many nepeta kinnies i see. i don't wish that nepeta was more developed or narratively important, and i don't seriously think of the various femslash ships people stick her in as meaningful or terribly interesting at all. i just remember being an very autistic child who thought a lot about romance in very autistic ways and who sometimes felt peripheral to things in my circle and my reaction to first encountering nepeta as a character when i was that age

Jett: “And a thousand transgenders touch their pussies for the first time…”
Vriska: “WHAT?!!!”
Jett: “Have you not seen that screenshot?”
Vriska: NO!”

this also happens to be the one coworker who has asked me “did you girlfriend name herself after a Homestuck character” and then said they have avoided ever reading homestuck because of the fandom so we really are the same level of online

they were clearly upset that they had to explain this, not in a way where they were upset with me just like tired of the whole thing and tired of people not knowing what this person had done and I was just thinking to myself “I know this specific emotion you’re showing so exactly, and I’m so sorry my offhand comment triggered these feelings in you”
