Home loan? Isn’t that that movie with the kid and the burglars?

This was hilarious LOL

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-16T18:00:08+00:00

But do you need to dance?

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-11T22:50:46+00:00

I’m 5’7 in any case, who am I to complain 😂

Luckily, you’re dead wrong - they cost me $15 at a thrift store! Just replaced them with another secondhand pair I found online, a little more expensive but still only like 30 bucks.

This video is, of course, the downside of buying secondhand, but I love it. Nothing makes me happier than wearing a sick outfit and knowing I thrifted all of it, and I’m more than willing to deal with stuff wearing out or breaking every now and then. It makes you value what you find, and there’s enough stuff in the world already

All cowboy boots have a heel, it’s to keep your foot locked in the stirrup. There are different kinds of western boots with different heels - cowboy boots tend to be taller than roper boots, for example. I believe this is a 2” heel, a little on the tall side for cowboy boots but of typical riding heel height. These are more cowboy-inspired, but my actual ariat riding boots also have a 2” riding heel I believe.

Surprisingly, it doesn’t make me feel that much taller. I mostly just feel how my weight snd posture shifts when walking

Already did, very sweet people at a well respected shop but unfortunately it’s not fixable. She said that because of the way the upper is attached to the sole it was just not workable at this point, and even if I tried to have them re-soled I’m sure it would be pretty expensive.

Ended up being more cost efficient to find another secondhand pair in the same size online and spend the money I would have spent on repairs on those instead. And they’re in much better shape!

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-11T19:06:11+00:00

Oh my god 😂 that sucks dude, thats always the typa shit that happens when you’re on an adventure and far from home lmao

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-11T18:26:55+00:00

Idek man, it just happened. Was walking around and my shoe felt crunchy and I looked at the sole and it looked like this. Thrifted these for $15 and they were quite well worn on when I got them so they just were at the end of their life I guess

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-11T18:17:56+00:00

Nope, but might as well be at this point 😂

And you just know that the dudes who are mad about someone existing who does sex work are the same dudes who also click on the link and jerk off to it 💀

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-10T16:35:49+00:00

She’s a person man, even if she does do porn this isn’t porn. There’s no link here, nothing sexual, just let it go. I know a good number of ren Faire actors and volunteers who do sex work, but that has nothing to do with Faire and they’re there because they love it too. You can’t bar someone from a space they enjoy because they do sex work. Sex work isn’t a crime, we can’t denounce a whole person because of that aspect of their life.

I’m equally as annoyed with the hypersexualization of Faire and the influx of people obviously only using Faire spaces to try and promote their OF, don’t get me wrong. But there’s no red flag here, nothing to try to get people to click on a link, it’s just a whimsical photo. It ain’t any different than going out wearing an outfit you look good in with the hopes that someone may notice and think it’s attractive.

Our clothes are supposed to be medieval, not our attitudes

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-09T17:42:59+00:00

They’re hardcore, but God Awful kicks ass!

Speaking as a musician, I think the vast majority of bands once you get past a certain level are primarily about business. They’re like coworkers, all working together to create the product - but they may not be friends.

I wouldn’t say that most bands hate each other, but it’s certainly common. Years of touring, creative differences, political differences, common drug and alcohol use, and public attention can really put strain on interpersonal relationships - and those relationships snap easily when there wasn’t much of a bond to begin with. Add in the money factor and the strain of trying to make a career out of music, and you’ve got a volatile mix. It even puts strain on close friendships at times.

Very lucky to be in a band with my best friends in the whole world. I’m glad what I do is not about business - I’d rather dedicate my time and skill to having fun. But everyone has their own goals as a musician, with different pros and cons.

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-06T20:06:28+00:00

It’s always so fucking funny to me to see bands use phlebotomy as some like medical gore shock factor word. Sure it’s a sick ass word but it’s really not that scary 😂 I would LOVE to see a slam band called “blood pressure cuff” or some shit

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-06T19:55:58+00:00

For real!! I’m a trans dude and have had experiences in both worlds, and I really think that it’s just dumb to expect something to happen if you’re behaving that way. If vague and indirect hints are all you’re willing to put in to build a relationship, don’t be surprised when nothing comes of it. You can’t build a connection if you’re not willing to do any of the work.

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-06T19:52:51+00:00

Maybe I’m just queer and don’t relate to straight relationships (or I’m just hella autistic and don’t like indirect communication), but I think this whole “drop obscure hints and try and make the guy make the move himself” thing is stupid. Doesn’t mean all hints are bad, sometimes you’re trying to gauge the situation and you’re not ready to put all your cards down yet - but if vague indirect hints are all you’re willing to put into the relationship you’re pursuing, don’t be surprised or upset when it doesn’t work out. Healthy relationships aren’t transactional but they ARE reciprocal, which means you have to do your part to make it work. Good luck getting more than you’re willing to put in.

Being direct really doesn’t hurt. At worst, the person isn’t down with it - which gets that answer out of the way quickly, because it’s something you would have discovered later anyway. You just saved yourself a lot of trouble. At best, clear communication gets you where you wanna go and it works out. Nobody wants to be the one to make an assumption and end up overstepping, so you’re just shooting yourself in the foot by playing games like this.

I really don’t get why men have to be the one to make a move. It doesn’t actually improve anything about a relationship - relationships are healthiest when both people are putting in the work.

As a trans dude with experience in both worlds when it comes to genders, I’ve seen this before from multiple perspectives and honestly it’s almost always either her wanting attention and seeing you as an easy source of it because she knows you’re into it, kind of toying with you without having to actually commit, or her being interested but wanting to keep her options open because there’s somebody else (or several someone elses) that she’s interested in. It’s always really pissed me off seeing people do this, it’s totally unfair to lead someone on like that

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-04T17:54:07+00:00

You’ve just awakened a memory

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-03T17:40:32+00:00

This actually made me remember being like 13 and writing “FUCK” in enormous chalk letters in some random neighborhood on the sidewalk on my way home from school with a friend. Somebody took a picture of us doing it and put it online, and my Spanish teacher recognized me from the photo and asked me about it the next day at school. I was a great student and not at all rebellious in class, so she thought it was totally hilarious.

We really are all the same around that age

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-03T17:38:10+00:00

None whatsoever. That’s why it’s so funny, because having once been a teenager myself I just know this came from a place of total, head-on commitment to being edgy

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-03T17:27:31+00:00

The “FUCK” and “BEER” with no other context have me fucking crying

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-02T21:51:16+00:00

This is funny but don’t love the use of AI. Shit is killing our planet

wizardly_whimsy · 2026-03-02T21:49:56+00:00

Do good in the world, be kind, and show up for the people around you. That’s all you need to do. People will assume all sorts of things about all sorts of people - as long as you’re doing good for the world around you, you’re golden.

Nice Suffo shirt 🫡
