Nightmare blunt rotation : Connor Macleod, Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez, Kratos, Vergil fron dmc, and Raiden from mgr

i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

Re: he/him or male identifying lesbians (as someone who isn't any of those things, this is just what I've seen other say)

Also I just woke up & I dont mean any of this to be rude, I'm just not awake enough to think about tone of text-voice

1 pronouns don't equal gender and you're original wording implied it does so keep that in mind

2 its actually a pretty big thing in butch culture, especially among older butches, to take masculine terms for themselves. I haven't ever seen any reasoning for this outside of potentially just trying to make straight men mad, but I do know its a thing

3 i think "male identifying lesbians", assuming you mean people who identify with no part of womanhood but do still use the lesbian label, would be similar to nonbinary lesbians or anyone who, at some point, was part of the lesbian community before (or while) figuring out gender stuff & still feels a connection to the community and the culture around it. But otherwise the only times I personally have seen a lesbian use masculine terms was in the way in point 2, which is mostly just "this is how people explain things with the words available to them and their own experience with their gender and attraction"

I hope this helps and I'm glad you asked instead of just getting lost in discourse posts because honestly? Its so hard to try to learn anything from just people yelling at each other (and usually with increasingly incorrect information)

Thank you so much, this rly helped. Also, yeah, discourse it just......blegh.

(Also super sorry for implying the whole pronouns=gender thing, twasnt intended)

Okay the last post got me thinking so now yall gotta suffer with me.

Payday Gang but its who gets to go to the cookout/what they doin (Joy isnt included cause I main them so yeah, Joy's hosting)

Dallas- Yes. Honestly I feel like Dallas makes killer burgers so like he's cooking.

Wolf- Yeah, he's chill. He brings drinks.

Hoxton- Seems like a dick upon first glance but he seems really nice. Broke him out of jail and one of his lines was "Joy! I'm glad you could make it!" (Somethin like that, clover was screaming in the background). So yeah, he's allowed in. I think he also would bring drinks.

Chains- Yeah! He's also helping cook, since I feel like he's sort of the middle man between the people with no spice tolerance and Jiro.

Sokol- Absolutely he can. He sets up a game of street hockey and fucking floors everyone.

Dragan- Mans looked at Joy and rly said "You're getting a bit pudgy." I didnt take offense but also fuck you man. He can have a plate but I'm not talking to him

Bonnie- Honestly she was one of the first people to be invited. I think she brings like super high quality drinks and motts apple juice.

Jimmy- Also one of the first people invited. He contemplates bringing drugs but bakes instead and brings cupcakes or smth. Are they laced? Fuck around and find out.

Sydney- Helped plan it! She decorated the safehouse and set everything up.

Clover- She's part of the group of people who didnt originally want to go but saw how much effort was put into it and just went "mmmnyeh alright" and showed up. Brought napkins and silverware. It sounds like slacking but fr she came through when no one else did.

Houston- Bro listen I owe him. I think he brings beers and maybe like. Mac n cheese. Its rly good and everyone is all "Hey Houston good job" but he's sweating cause its just like six boxes of kraft mac.

Jacket- Also another one of the first people invited. He brings a box of casettes for the music. If anyone argues with his song choices I will physically fight them.

Rust- He wasn't gonna go but Jimmy was so fuckin annoying abt it that he just gave in and went. He also wasnt gonna bring anything but just grabbed a bottle of whiskey and called it good.

Wick- I would die for this man. I firmly believes he cooks in his spare time to destress after heists so yeah. He's one of those people that everyone thinks he cooks really bad but then he brings food and all of a sudden he's making lunch for the crew every other day.

Sangres- Yes he's invited this man is a true bro. I know its kinda stereotypical but trust me, Mexican family members actually do bring tequila and some sort of Mexican food, probably homemade tacos, to big gatherings. Sangres is also a really good cook but his spice tolerance is fucked so all of his food is really spicy.

Jiro- How could I not let my own father attend the cookout?? Jiro brings sake and some sort of Japanese dish. He's a lot like Sangres; makes really good but f u c k i n g s p i c y food.

Bodhi- Yes. This man goes all out and fucking brings a whole Costco supply of food.

Duke- This is the kind of guy I'd want at a party. He brings really fucking good alcohol but is also the designated driver. V v responsible, only small amounts of alcohol at a time.

Scarface- I dont know a lot abt this guy but he seems aight. This guy's a wild card atm so when i figure it out ill get back to you.

Bain- Literally got invited mid-heist becuase adhd is a bitch. Whether or not he actually shows is debatable, but I think he'd bring some pothead concotion like noodle sandwiches or some shit.

Vlad- YEAAAAAH! I love Vlad, honestly, he's awesome. I think this guy really plays into the Russian stereotype for shits and giggles and fuckin bring vodka and potatoes.

Locke- *stares motherfuckerdly* Youre on thin ice, fuckwad. I dont have a set reason for my hatred towards Locke, I just really dont like his vibes. I'll let him in but like Dragan, I wont talk to him.

The Butler- :D absolutely! I dont know what he would bring but honestly he could bring lsd and id trust him w my drink.

Ethan and Hila: No, yall mean ;-;

Honestly not to be traumatized on main but like. Using horror to heal is such a wonderful thing and I wanna talk abt it.

I can really only speak for myself so I'm gonna talk abt my experiences with it.

One of my most helpful coping mechanisms is playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Amnesia is known to be one of the scariest and fucked up games of its time, and still renowned as one of the best horror games. It dives into things like torture, manipulation, unrelenting nightmares, and reality itself falling apart due to a simple action. Yet playing this game and indulging in its story and its lore helps both distract and sort of heal from life when particular memories get bad.

I use weirdcore/liminal spaces/The Backrooms to cope with my derealization issues.

I use analog horror and the Trollge to help cope with my paranoia and fear of the unknown.

I use SCP to help with fear of institutions and anamolies otherwise unable to be explained.

I use FNaF to help with terrible memories. In fact, something my brain has taken to doing is defaulting into believing I'm Michael Afton to escape from flashbacks, phantom sensations, and other things that constantly remind me of my past ab//use.

I use slashers like Michael Myers and Mr. Voorhees for fear of people larger than me (which is a lot of people, Im a very small guy) and honestly they help me accept parts of me that I hate.

It sounds terrible on paper but a lot of people can actually relate to a lot of topics in horror. Its sort of a roundabout way to get that trauma and those memories out in the open and get them resolved, even if its temporarily. Because progress is still progress, no matter how miniscule.

Strangely enough, indulging in horror reminds me that I didn't deserve it, its not my fault, and I. Will. Get. Better. I will recover. And I think thats why a lot of people with trauma turn to horror. Because when everything was shitty and when they were scared the most, horror was a proper escape. It helped, and it continues to help.

I think a lot of people use horror as a coping mechanism and I think its something that people who aren't going through the trauma recovery process should be more open-minded about. I always get odd comments about using horror as coping mechanisms and I think people should be more widely accepting of seemingly unorthodox, but healthy, ways to cope. We all cope differently.

So... are we healing our trauma through ARG Horror and Analog Horror nowadays? Take The Walten Files, Local 58, and The Mandela Catalogue, for example.

I think horror has become one of the only safe and consumable space for catharsis: to expose, explore and heal our trauma.

*bain voice* i know this pretty heist boy i always think about him and when he says hi to me butterflies go right through me and when i see him heisting i wanna take a chance in getting a little closer and maybe get to know him

Organizations/Groups I think the Payday heisters would be in.

Duke would definitely be a Kingsman agent. Im listing this first cause its what inspired the whole post. Dallas and Houston would be Statesman agents. Hoxton would be considered for Kingsman because of Aldstone, but whether or not he makes it in is up in the air.

Jacket would be buddies with the Unholy Trinity from GTA or part of the Creeps from RUINER.

This isn't like. An official group but I think Wolf and Joy would be survivors in Generation Zero.

Wick would be a Dark Brotherhood assassin when the Brotherhood was in its prime (Oblivion Era)

Jimmy is a citizen of the New Sheoth in Shivering Isles on the side of Mania.

I could see Bonnie as a crewmember aboard the Black Pearl.

More to come, feel free to add on :0
