Tuesday, 25 December 2018 15:16*muttering to myself* Just fucking PM them, c'mon, let's fucking do it, we're all a fucking mess and none of us know what we're doing and we're all raw and hurt and lonely and unmoored and we know, self, we know we're not the only one who currently wishes we'd reached out more and circled the wagons and taken notice, who wish we'd put a little bit more effort into talking to people, not just occasionally clicking like or reblogging, like
we all fucked up, thinking social media was gonna be the answer, that mere presence would endear us and not alienate us further, we're not alone in that, it's not too late and washing up on the shore after jumping ship hasn't so far been exactly a lonely experience, you already have things in common with these people and all you need to do is open your mouth and talk to them about it.
So just do it.
C'mon, just...
The button's right there, you've got nothing to lose, and right now, you're not the only one who doesn't want to feel alone.

Tuesday, 25 December 2018 15:43My firm headcanon is that Wheeljack has extended manual control over his own control systems (power distribution, sensory systems etc etc) and I'm entertaining myself by thinking about the absolute spark attack it'll give Ratchet when he realises Wheeljack can do manual reroutings and generally screw with his own root systems.
Like just IMAGINE the incandescent rage and loud righteoust chewing-out about how BLATANTLY UNSAFE and INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS that is and how NOT EVEN EXPERIENCED MEDICS TOUCH THE ROOT DISTRIBUTIONS and WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, WHEELJACK while Jackie just stands there like "blah blah blah, are you done? I've got work I need to finish up on."
(And to be clear, this hc is about TFP!Wheeljack but only up to his reactions -- other Wheeljacks are just as bad, but a) they're better at getting away with it b/c they're not terminal show-offs b) they've got less use for system-wide minor power boostage, since they're not as much on the field and c) they at least have the good sense to be embarrassed and ashamed when someone calls them out on it being super unsafe.)
(What can I say, all Wheeljacks are goal-oriented Intuitives, if you're expecting one of them to do a Stupid Dangerous Thing, it's safe to argue all of them would do the same stupid, dangerous thing.)
(That's why I love him.)
(He dumb shit.)

Tuesday, 25 December 2018 17:08A fight broke out on a Discord server I'm on about the old hat of whether making metonymic comments about "The Straights" is bad praxis b/c it alienates potential allies and IDK what about it slammed me as hard as it did, but now I'm just all floppy and listless.
I'm just as tired of queer people arguing amongst themselves and not being able to express anger however they want as the next queer, but as a bisexual who's had their life straightwashed and who has been subjected to "straight-passing" and "monosexuality" biphobic discourse in the past, I understand the knee-jerk "would you stop it with the constant generalisation" kneejerk creation whenever someone starts doing it
and at the same time I see the demand for perfect rhetoric as the fragile defensiveness that it so often is, and I just wish people who have their feelings hurt by someone else's pain would find a place that isn't the conversation about those hurt feelings to discuss their own pain.
(And I wanted to write, too. Dammit.)
