Enjoyer of many things, very queer. They/Xe

Howdy, I’m Melody (my friends call me Mel)

I’m bisexual, nonbinary, genderfluid, neurodivergent, and lutheran. And married!

What this blog usually talks about: queerness, adhd, sci-fi/fantasy, urbanism, and church. sometimes all at once

You can find my fanfiction at janMelantu on ao3 (I also post them on this blog)

I also make synopses for X-Men ‘97: Episode 1

You can fight me on Magic Arena at janMelantu#86569

Goddamit i hate this fucking post. I hate it because obviously if “twelve” followed the same pattern as the other teen numbers it wouldn’t be “twoteen” it would be “seconteen”. Think about it. It’s not “threeteen” it’s “thirteen” as in “third”. It’s not “fiveteen” it’s “fifteen” as in fifth. So with that in mind, you count “first, second, third, fourth, fifth,” and so on, so eleven would be “firsteen” and twelve would be “secondteen” or “seconteen”. “Firsteen, seconteen, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen….” It just drives me absolutely mad everytime i see this post that this obvious pattern was overlooked and i cant hold in my rage anymore.

I think this is exactly why thirteen is considered a ‘bad luck’ number.

Eleven and twelve have special names because as humans we can count to 12 on our fingers. But if we need to count to thirteen we’re outta fingers, bad news.

interesting hypothesis! i have a question,

Y'all forgetting the OG

The above post is not the OG. 

The original, as seen below, was posted on Facebook by a guy in Cincinnati. Someone else saw it and thought they would have more luck propagating it if they changed the city to “Detroit,” because in the American popular consciousness, Detroit is a more infamously blighted city than Cincinnati. And indeed, that version was the one that proliferated, because it resonated more with the people who saw it. The original poster and the original city were forgotten.

Does this really matter to anyone (besides Joshua Cromwell)? Perhaps not. But sometimes people do this with things that are more important than porches…

someone stole our fucking meme! can’t have shit in Cincinnati

what people dont get about divorces is the Whole Thing About Dogs

i have written custody plans for labrador retrievers more complex than i have for children. i went to four years of undergrad, three years of law school, and sat for the bar exam to write up custody exchange provisions for dogs with hyphonated last names

my clients are paying $295 an hour for me to go to court and litigate who makes veterinary decisions for Chuckles the Goldfish and theres literally nothing i can do to stop them

framing these tags and hanging them up in my office to remind me that it can always be worse

really fond of humans just from an appearance standpoint. the long legs. the manes of hair that can come in practically any colour and texture. those crazy high-contrast eyes with the white scleras and colourful irises. the fingers being so much longer than the toes. there's a lot to love. solid 10/10 animal species

hey there just out of curiosity are you not human, too?

hilariously enough, I am probably the most human out of anyone on this entire site. earlier today I was posting about getting "species euphoria" from doing human activities like ecosystem management. I'm the worlds first therian to have a kintype that aligns with his biological species. shirt that says "I ❤️ being a sapient omnivorous primate & bipedal persistence predator" on the front and booty shorts that say "largest gluteal muscles to body size ratio on the planet"

been sort of obsessively combing through articles and websites and resources about top surgery and recovery more and more as I gear up to My Big Day and while I hate to report I may have gotten through most of the scientifically rigorous and reputable sites I am at least, now, stumbling over some of the funnier AI generated slop images i've ever seen in my quest for Patient Information

They missed. 😔

Schism? Schism today?

Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card

Wondering how long they had this sitting on their computer waiting for the day to send it

as a Lutheran, it’s my solemn and traditional duty to declare that these newly minted Protestants are Doing Protestantism Wrong and are, in fact, worse than papists.

Sometimes late at night when the veil is thin Sifo-Dyas sees through the 4th wall. And most of the time he’s like damn I’m still in a tragedy as always. But sometimes he’s like oooh yay I’m in a smut oneshot on ao3. So basically what I’m saying is that you have the power to give him a break 🤔
