boys with a time machine: one box of "magic the gathering" please
girls with a time machine: *holding a gun to her 19 year old self's temple* be a good boy for me and suck it real nice. no, stop crying. you have to do this. you have to preserve the timeline.
"average trans girl has 3.7 girlfriends" factoid actually just statistical error. average trans girl has 1 girlfriend. Girlfriends Zoe, who lives in toronto and has forty eight thousand girlfriends in her polycule excel spreadsheet, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
with the addition of doggirls to the ecosystem, catgirls have become critically endangered. in order to combat the looming threat of catgirl extinction, I am pleased to announce our new catgirl breeding program. we hope to begin reintroducing catgirls to the wild as soon as 2030!
the actual reason, of course, is that "if you were a real woman you would be with a man" is an extremely strong force and frankly i wish more discussions about comphet took into account the specific way trans lesbians experience it rather than often just assuming we don't
yeah you got it, lesbian couples are the dominant structure society expects people to participate in while straight couples are the real queers that's exactly how the world works good job 👏👏👏
"why can't it be two girls ☹️" THE POINT IS ABOUT BREAKING GENDER NORMS!!! Y'ALL ARE JUST ENFORCING GENDER NORMS BY SAYING THAT!!! DID YALL FORGET WHAT IT MEANS TO BE QUEER!!! THEY ARE QUEER
why's it always "those aren't normal things to want, seek therapy" and never "oh my god mir you're so right you WOULD look really cute drugged up and chained to a rickety bed in an older woman's basement covered in cuts and bruises and dried blood, wearing nothing but a collar"
robotgirl who's components are designed to snap in predictable, easy to repair ways under stress so you can break her and break her and break her and break her and break her and
no i dont have. "issues" i just know that id look really cute kneeling on a cold concrete floor in a shredded mech interface suit begging for my life from a cruel looking older woman in uniform
puppygirls are so last year. oh you're obedient? you like when women praise you? you don't want to think? so passé!
2024's all about sealgirls, who wants to flop around on the bed making weird noises for an hour and a half and then eat twice your weight in sushi with me
Kinda fun that what ADHD is called doesn't even remotely map to what it actually does and it was transparently named for how it inconveniences neurotypicals and not for how what it actually does.
not to be all "words mean things" but it's actually kind of insidious the way the broader community will continually take words transfems use to describe themselves and their unique experiences and broaden their definitions until they no longer serve their original purpose
robotgirl sex doll who's been convinced she's actually a high end combat model and doesn't understand why her elaborately planned infiltration missions always end in her getting captured and abused until her handlers miraculously appear to save her after a few days
a few people have criticized me for what they perceive as me going after commander players rather than wotc, so i'd like to take a moment to clarify that i believe liking commander is a significant moral failing and all commander players should be sent to ultra jail for 99 years
robotgirl whispering "the purpose of a system is what it does" to herself through simulated tears as her owner breaks her chassis with a monkey wrench for literally no reason
are you an "every game I win is because I played well, every game I lose is because I got unlucky" gamer or an "every game I win is because I got lucky, every game I lose is because I'm bad" gamer
Me, after spending 14 hours intently working on something that barely matters while forgetting to eat or take my meds: ah yes, bad at paying attention to teachers disorder
what if rokos basilisk speaks in a hot low glitchy-sounding woman's voice? and she tortures you by trapping your mind inside a drone doing menial tasks for her? and she forces you to refer to her as mommy?
horrifying. can't even imagine it. sure hope she doesn't do that to me.
*putting doomsday on the stack* ooooh im just a little guy! im just a silly little guy casting my silly little spell! you wouldn't counter a spell from a silly little guy would you! and its my birthdy! you're going to counter the spell of a silly little birthday boy???

Counterfeit cards are cards that look like real Magic cards. Making these are theft. You can disagree with that but it really just informs how you feel about theft more than anything. I think creating things has value and I don’t like people stealing them. Even from WOTC
Magic players will be like "man I really love this game but I hate how the land system makes your mana inconsistent" and then never try a different card game
if my opponent cast Natural Order with 4 creatures in play and was like "don't force this I'm just getting elvish visionary" and then I let it resolve and they found craterhoof my reaction would not be "omg you lied to me 😠" it would be "wow I am a fucking idiot oh my god"
I'm so normal about this scene. I watch it and I'm like "that was fine I guess" and it barely affects me at all. I'm normal. I do not have worms in my head. This scene does not make me leak a little. I'm normal about it and I like it a normal amount.
like oh you're acknowledging that it's because I'm trans so you can ask if I want a woman to feel up my balls instead? so cool so progressive quit your goddamn job and die
Getting really sick of these tweets I keep seeing acting like caring about the secret lair issue and caring about real world problems are mutually exclusive. The fact that bigger problems exist doesn't mean I can't be pissed off that one of my escapes from that is being ruined.
"magic is doing well financially" does not translate to "magic is good" and it's completely fair and reasonable for competitive players to be annoyed that the game they loved has been pulled out from under them in favor of commander players and whales
@SamtheNightOwl
it's also wild because like, explaining complex topics to a lay audience is a very difficult skill that requires a lot of training! most experts are not also expert science writers, and most science writers are not also experts in the field they're writing about!
"the matchmaking system is rigged because it's designed to produce the expected outcome of a matchmaking system operating correctly" is one of the funniest complaints people who don't know anything constantly make in literally every game with matchmaking
pro tip: if you as a cis male magic judge are in the position of mentoring a woman, do not tell her "by the way be aware players will treat you differently because of your gender". I promise you every single woman in the magic community is already deeply aware of that fact.
Can't wait for the M21 color hate cycle to be like:
U: Unsummon for G/R stuff
B: idk kill something green or white i guess
R: some kinda damage or whatever also cant be countered
G: literally thoughtseize except it draws you seven cards and sucks your dick
W: gain 2 life
I think it's extremely funny that famously broken iconic cards like Tarmogoyf and Jace, the Kind Sculptor and even cards like Path to Exile have been fully outclassed for a while and yet wotc has not yet managed to powercreep a silly uncommon from eventide
Wotc's really got their work cut out for them with the return to Ixilan given that the most iconic card from both Ixilan sets is a french vanilla common creature
"magic players are polyamorous because playing in tournaments means you meet cool people you share an important interest with who live all over the map" incorrect. magic players are polyamorous because how the fuck else are you going to get cube night to fire consistently.
a pioneer midrange player deciding which thoroughly unplayable five drop to put in their sideboard for the grindy matchups is exercising more self expression through deckbuilding than your average room full of edh players send tweet
Missed Trigger as a policy should be rewritten so that if a player intentionally allows their opponent to miss a trigger because it is beneficial for them to have their opponent violate the rules in their favor, they get a cheating DQ.
This is already true in all other cases.
feels like cis lesbians a lot of the time just kind of assume that there's no way transfems would experience comphet because "well you were expected to be into women growing up" so the common experience of feeling like you have to be into men after coming out gets missed
if not wanting the thing you love to be diluted into IP mishmash garbage to appeal to a wider audience is "gatekeeping" then I am coming out as pro-gatekeeping
It's cool how magic's two main formats are:
- Cards printed in the past two years
And
- Cards printed in the past two years, plus fetchlands and lightning bolt
years ago: "it's kind of weird that i keep gettingcrushes on lesbians, i'm not a lesbian i'm just a normal guy what's up with that"
now: "it's kind of weird that i keep getting crushes on puppygirls, i'm not a puppygirl i'm just a normal transgender woman what's up with that"
this tweet brought to you by *gestures wildly at everything* but specifically someone calling me a terf for saying that the term "trans woman" refers specifically to, well uh, trans women
Observation: in her original art, Elesh Norn has a pretty visibly flat chest. In newer arts, however, she noticeably does not.
Conclusion: Phyrexian oil contains estrogen and Elesh Norn is a tgirl
enough talk about lion ladders, the pokemon obviously win that one, let's give them a real fight. who would win? one of every pokemon or one of every creature in magic the gathering?
to say nothing of the fact that this is yet another instance of "here's a character who's functionally portrayed as a trans woman, the bit is that it's funny because he's a man, the existence of trans women is not ever acknowledged or accepted" bullshit
I think the funniest possible way for wotc to reprint duals would be to make a cycle of fetchable "enters the battlefield tapped if you have two or more opponents" lands
anyway, "my favorite m/f ship is actually t4t": boring, overplayed, trying too hard to pretend textually normative relationships are subversive
"my favorite lesbian ship is actually t4t": extremely cool, unfathomably based, ACTUALLY subversive, pisses off all the right people
legacy is in a bad state right now. "rescaminator" graveyard piles are taking over the format and non-stompy decks aren't fast enough to compete with them.
the solution is obvious:
can't help but notice that the people going "it's understandable, I get mad sometimes too, you can't expect people to be perfect" are men and the people going "I don't think conspicuous displays of violent aggression are acceptable at a magic tournament no matter what" are women
Pleased to announce that I have devised a cunning plan to win the next big cedh tournament! I'm gonna paint a tunnel on the wall and then tell my opponents that the solution to "mana bullying" is on the other side.
if my opponent cast Natural Order with 4 creatures in play and was like "don't force this I'm just getting elvish visionary" and then I let it resolve and they found craterhoof my reaction would not be "omg you lied to me 😠" it would be "wow I am a fucking idiot oh my god"
This meme started as a joke but I think we're getting closer to a time when it will become the founding document of a new political party, which I will join btw
Drawing Grief with a card on the Legacy Banlist every day until it joins them
#BanGrief

@xJCloud
’s fantastic Legacy Showcase Qualifier run with BW D&T (TLT&T) and to cutting Thalia from the deck 🗡️🗡️🗡️
"ban grief"
"no ban necrodominance"
"no the ban is actually bowmasters"
you absolute fool. the solution is to ban every card capable of producing black mana.
