Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

NOT JIF,

GIF.

And here is the link for the opposite.

WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.

Jif is wrong. Sorry.

People of both sexes and all ages play video games and watch movies in every country in the world.

Only in America do we have an epidemic of gun violence and repeated mass murder.

The problem isn’t video games and movies, guys.

AGREED.

I was saying this to my boss today.

So last night I was in a car accident. Today I’m sore as hell, tired and trying not to over-react.

I don’t know if the accident was my fault, but I thought I was clear to make the turn, but I got hit nearly head on by the other car, so now I’m not so sure. 

The airbag deployed in my face, hit the side of my face, and messed up my jaw. I went and saw the doctor today and he described it as the equivalent to getting punched in the face. I’ve been ‘prescribed’ Advil  icing it, and soft foods. My chest hurts were my seat belt caught me, and other than a few bruises, I’m fine.

The other driver was also fine, as far as I could tell, he said he was okay too. Was super nice. 

My boyfriend, thank god, was also fine, other than his seat belt bruise. There’s not airbags on that side of my car, so his belt took the whole brunt of it. Considering how my I hurt, I feel terrible knowing how much his chest must hurt. 

I don’t know if my car is fixable or not, waiting for the insurance company to get back to me on that stuff.

And despite everything, I’m worried as all hell. I’ve only been dating this guy a month, but he’s amazing and incredible and everything I look for in a man, and I really, really hope the accident last night will scare him off. I worry that he’ll suddenly realize that he could do better than the girl who nearly killed him in a car accident and then proceeded to freak the fuck out.

He was so sweet though. Made sure I got home safe after, if it wasn’t for him I’d probably have wandered in Vancouver, totally lost, the police didn’t make sure we had a way home or anything, leaving us to skytrain all the way home. (not that the police did a bad job, they were super nice and helpful, and helped calm me down.) I live in a small city quite a ways from Vancouver, and he escorted me all the way to the skytrain station where my mom came and picked me up, even though he had to then turn around and go back the way we came.

God, I hurt all over.

an excerpt from a short story featuring my Savage Worlds character, Zaph’yer. This is from her childhood, before she got all jaded and distrustful. (or more distrustful).

Needs some work. I was writing at like 2am, so I need to re-phrase a lot of it.

• genderbends do not change a characters personality

GENDERBENDS DO NOT CHANGE A CHARACTERS PERSONALITY

THIS IS TRUE. however:

One could argue that, with gender, a whole host of circumstances will change, the way others treat you will change, and those changes can shape personality.

Let’s take, for example, Jim Kirk.

(big fucking surprise, right?)

So, Jim is born Jenny.

She will still be brash, and calculating, and willing to do whatever is necessary to accomplish her ends. This will not change.

But some things will.

For example, Jim is both expected to live up to his father’s legacy (if you are assuming XI verse, which i am (duh)) and fully expected to fail at it.

Somehow, I feel like Jenny wouldn’t even have that expectation at all, specifically because she’s a girl. People just wouldn’t think of it as an option.

And Jenny, being herself, might ask—well, why the fuck not?

So she grows up, she becomes the genius level repeat offender, and has a chip on her shoulder the size of the enterprise because fuck you, i didn’t want starfleet anyway. Instead of a middle finger to the world that expects her to be her father, she’s giving a middle finger to the fact that it doesn’t even cross the world’s mind.

THIS IS FAR LESS COHERENT THAN I WANTED, BUT: things will change, though the core fundamentals will remain the same.

What I took from this (and of which I agree with despite rarely being too interested in gender bending) is the following:
Gender Bending does not change a characters CORE personality but would change some of the life experiences which would ALTER a characters perception of the world.

Men and women are treated very differently in this world (It totally goes both ways, not trying to be a feminist here) and that in itself affects (effects?) how ones life would be led.
