Fun fact: have you ever noticed that a bunch of 90s shows make fun of the fact that one day we could have Trump as a president? Shows like the Simpsons, Sesame Street (yes, the show for 3 year olds), and other silly little cartoons? And now how they’re being given attention for being “future tellers”
The reason so many of them “predicted” him getting elected was because in the 90s he talked about how he would seriously run for president one day, and no one took him seriously back when he made that claim. They thought nothing was more comedic and unbelievable than him being president
Look at us now -
One of my favorite references to this is the Animaniacs, a 90s cartoon that got rebooted in 2018. They wrote the script before the 2016 election, so even they poked fun at how unbelievable him being president would be, only for the joke to have aged TERRIBLY once the show was ready to air
They even explained in the cartoon “this was written before the election, so we don’t know who won! That means we can make all the jokes about him we want without risking our shows cancellation by him!” -
That’s also why he seems like such an over the top villain, because
A) he is
B) 90s shows literally used what they thought him as a president would look like as the inspiration for their villains. The same 90s shows and movies that inspire our media now. Him and the Soviet Union (U.S. Cold War propaganda) were the outline for the villains that shaped Hollywood in the late 1900s, and are the villains that influence Hollywood nowadays. Isn’t that so silly? -
Anyways you’re welcome for your pop culture political history lesson, these are the things I think about at 2 in the morning bc I’m so silly like that

I wonder what my IQ is

Got an IQ of 129. Might try to take other tests to fact check that, but for now, pretty satisfied with that

“Erm there’s only two genders” well actually it’s safe to assume there’s a couple BILLION genders because everyone views gender identity, euphoria, dysphoria, and gender conformity differently, lmao gender isn’t a multiple choice question it’s a “there’s no right answer as long as you’re honest with yourself” answer bsfr

Can we stop using boring pet names like cutie and sweetheart and honey and crap like that
Like forget calling someone your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner, in Swedish there’s a gender neutral word called älskling which translates to “my beloved one”
In Italian there’s a pet name called tesoro which translates to treasure. I would never call someone my treasure, but mi tesoro? Hell yeah
Hindi is “meri jaan” which means my life
In Croatia, there’s “dušo” which means soul, and “srećo” which means my luck -
TLDR other languages have some way better pet names than English (mostly American from what I know) ones lol

Damn I found some old photos of me on this iPod (it’s connected to my dads photo gallery so I mean OLD photos)
7 year old me was kinda badass ngl, he just wanted to create a stuffed animal army and go to aquariums -
One of my favorite and biggest gender euphoric facts about me is that I promise you you will never find a photo of me with pre-transition long hair
I’ve only ever seen one photo of young me with long hair ever. I was four. The second my hair went past my shoulders, I started chopping it
Genuinely I think my mullet last december was the longest I have EVER had my hair my whole life, and I was forced to keep it long-ish for a play. Even then, it just looked like a s---ty teenage boy mullet -
Only gonna respond like once a week for the next couple weeks, sorry

Oh why?

I explained why in your vent thread, but basically parents are getting stricter on me being online
