Welcome to Tryan’s meandering attempts at basic humanity.

Hello! Hi! I reblog mostly The Sandman (with a side of Fuckboi Dream), Dead Boy Detectives, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Good Omens (now a proud Asmi’s Maggot iykyk), Nimona, Simon Snow, Spy x Family and whatever the latest movie is, with a leavening of Weird Tumblr Shit because it is the hellsite. My sexy tag is #explicit rather than #nsft because it’s more about choosing what you see than about age. Curate your own experience. My side blog is @lucienne-my-beloved, featuring some of my favourite characters from The Sandman!

My blog name is a brilliant line from @cuubism’s Joy, used with permission. My profile pic is Razzle Dazzle Dragon by Doodle.

To find my favourite posts and my original work, search for my tag #tryana find it back. I write mostly short fluffy one-shots and I’ll let you know if it’s not that. It’s nicely sorted on ao3, but if you want to stay here I’ll put a link to the first in each series (Okay, I'm not staying up to date on posting these on tumblr and linking them in series. Please see ao3.)

Cursed Spadina Staircase Photoshoot

okay so my friend who did the photography is still sifting and editing through the rest of the photos but here are a few that pass muster largely unedited (i did a bit of poking at the colour grading in the default photo app)

shoutout to my lovely photographer, @sharlit-and-seedot for capturing the essence of man... tm

we're gonna go for some afternoon shots next tuesday!

the plan is to hit up casa loma and the distillery district for some cool afternoon and evening shots, so if you see a plague doctor shuffling around Toronto on tuesday, come say hi!

ALSO if any of yall have any funny captions/edits for these photos PLEASE MAKE THEM AND SHOW ME. MEMEIFY THE FUCK OUTTA THESE IMAGES!!!

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING FALSE, PASS WON THE SMASH OR PASS POLL!!!!

When I tell you that I have read fanfic characterizations so OOC that they'd classify as an original character, trust me I have read THOUSANDS. But you know what I don't do? :) Tell the author of those fanfics that they might as well classify that character as an original character if they're going to write them like one. Because that's fucking rude. People don't owe you your preferred characterizations. The back button is free.

there's been a couple times that i've gone to the local sex club and every time i was at an event there was one man just fully naked walking around. same guy every time. hog like a hoagie roll when flaccid and he was always flaccid. anyway at one of the less populated events i got to sit and talk with him and he told me that he told me he was always naked because, despite it being a sex club, people still don't know when it's 'okay' to start getting into it and he decided he'd be the one thing to break the ice and make everybody comfortable, because you know you can start doing whatever you wanna do when there's just a naked guy walking around. he then asked if i wanted a silicone copy of his dick for my strap. never in my life have i felt such an instant respect for a person.

So I once again made the mistake of promising to draw more of a particular fandom/characters and then not getting the chance to do so before the hyperfixation wore off. Oops 😭 I'm sure I might get another spark of motivation when the season 3 movie drops, but until then please enjoy these cuddling husbands!!! (made by my partner's request sometime last summer hehe)

You write thorough analyses of concepts and events, so I thought I would ask for your take on Senator Booker's speech today. Some people say it was disrespectful. What do you think? Thank you in advance for your opinion.

I think what Booker did was extraordinary on several levels. First, the sheer physical endurance it takes to speak for that long, almost uninterrupted, while remaining cogent, is absolutely incredible. Second, the actual content of what he said, based on what I've seen, was fantastic; he was impassioned, engaging and incisive, and the extent to which he kept on topic over that many hours is staggering. Third, the fact that he broke the record for the longest speech on the Senate floor, which is not only an achievement in its own right, but doubly meaningful given his status as a Black man when the previous record was set by a segregationist, Strom Thurmond, protesting the Civil Rights Act in 1957. And last but not least, the moral clarity inherent in rebuking, loudly and at length, the myriad abuses of a historically corrupt, fascist government while working to delay their business.

All that being so, I think there are only three plausible reasons for someone finding Booker's speech disrespectful. The first is predicated on agreeing so completely with the Trump administration's policies that disrupting their operation via a lawful, established form of political protest is cast as inherently bad - which would be very much in keeping with the logic of those who, to take just one example, see nothing illegal or indeed remarkable about Trump's insistence that the executive branch should be able to unilaterally overrule both the Senate and the judiciary. The second is predicated on being such a spineless appeasenik milquetoast that some nebulous concept of "civility" is considered more important, and thus more urgent, than doing literally anything to protest an administration so nakedly corrupt that the president is publicly shilling for crypto and Tesla in order to line his own pockets. And the third is, simply, racism, whether subconscious or overt, which here translates to the reflexive assumption that a Black man being loud and disruptive must of course be inherently bad, and certainly a worse offense than whatever he might be protesting.

So, in conclusion, no, I do not think Booker's speech was disrespectful - but even if it could be fairly labelled as such, as I don't believe this current administration is remotely deserving of anyone's respect, I'd still be cheering him on.

I’ve mostly resisted absorbing memes and internet jargon into my vocabulary, but at this point I have to admit defeat: wimdy has bypassed all my defenses and lodged itself deep and indelibly in my psyche. And I’ll tell you what. It is fucking wimdy out there right now.

You’ll rewrite it later anyway, so stop staring at the blank page like it owes you money. Just start.

this is some of the best advice I’ve ever come across when it comes to writing - it’s so much easier to write if you don’t constantly try to edit or write like it’s the finally product. The thinking of just putting it all on a page and polishing it later is what’s rescued several of my stories ngl
