Psychological transition ; Linguistic transition

Psychological transition: when your mind adapts to a new gender that was unusual of you before.

This may include finding out that you experience your natally assigned gender or sex, after questioning or feeling a void about it, not just transitioning to the other side or beyond a specific AGAB.

Linguistic transition: going through a different form of experiencing gender language, typically in grammar, syntax, lexical metaphor, or semantics

The most known forms of linguistic transition are name change and pronoun change, but can be beyond those things. Overall this may also include the journey of finding out you possess/own/have finally the imposed pronoun or initially registred name after all.

The psychological type is often associated with social transition, in which your social circle starts to refer to you as a certain gender and that helps you navigate with such gender, exploring a gender life. However, that is psychosocial transition, because you can transition psychologically (mentally, thymically/thymally, phrenically, psychically/psychally, thymopsychically, mindfully/phrenetically, or spiritually/religiously, in uncommon definitions) without externalizing (verbalizing) or telling anyone else (extrapersonally/exopersonally/ectopersonally), which typically means you're closeted about it, but you don't necessarily need to out yourself to someone just because you found out something different. Also you can alter everything outside and only name it rightly in your psyche/mind/thymus after it. imagine crossdreaming.

The linguistic type is not something exclusive to transnominal/crossnominal or people with name dysphoria (sofrimento/tristesse or disconnect/incongruence), this may or may not be a form of name nonconformity. Another form of linguistic transition is transitioning through grammatical objects, animacy/inanimacy, grammatical persons, or isochronally (tonally/accentually/syllabically/in a mora way), for example, depending on the language there are multiple ways to do this. This could extend to any label, if you think about it lexically/lingually.

More importantly (note): these are describing acts, not definers/identifiers.

haven posting

(please bear with the note sfx i play at like... everything max lol) he’s especially nasally in this cover but i think that is what makes me love it so much. i may be delusional, or i might be remembering things wrongly but there's something different about the nasally feeling of his voice here. you know those moments when you’re so happy and colorful it feels unreal, there’s that very airy and floaty happiness that makes your throat choke up a bit, and your nose gets little stuffy because you’re on such cloud nine you can't describe it. i imagine the scenery in toya's head, up in the clouds flying and dancing around, singing about all things beautiful, with the sun shining on his face. it gives me the image that toya, who doesn't usually cry, is almost about to because he can't contain the sheer amount of pure joy he feels, because he is surrounded by all the sounds that make him feel. there's a "i'm so happy my nose and throat is a little stuffy and my head is spinning with colors" aspect to the emotions in the voice. i especially love the line 笑い飛ばしてくれよメイリー "Let’s laugh away! měi lì" it is a very freeing lyric befitting of toya. to rediscover his joy and love for experiencing even when he's battling with loving himself for who he is. to laugh together with the people you love the most because they are your safe haven. specifically it felt like a reference to mirai when toya sings "i found a place where we can all laugh together", that's what this line means to me. i also love the final seconds of the song where it goes:

ヘイヴンは きっとあるから/ 絵空事でも愛していくよ/ がらんどうな部屋 灯る光/ 君と共に選んだ 確かな今/ ヘイヴンは きっと見つける/ 自分だけの鼓動を "My “Haven” is definitely here somewhere!/ I’ll love you even if you’re just a pipe dream/ In a hollow room, a light shines through/ I chose this moment with you, and now, I’m sure of it/ I’ve definitely found my “Haven”/ One where I’ve found my own heartbeat"

"haven" , at its very core means a safe place where one can retreat to. even at toya's darkest moments, he has always turned to music as an avenue to release those feelings. for some reason, even when he was frustrated with classical music, he instead turned to street music and found his spark there. it is quite a testament to how much he can't bear to let go of music. so at the very end of the song, when toya goes どちらの意味も今は解る, "I know what both of them mean" — he now knows what its like to finally embrace his love for music (internal haven), and to finally have a place with all his friends (exterior haven). the final few lines are all very definite, as if telling us about toya's newfound confidence with the use of きっと (definitely). the transition to the use of adverbs of certainty was important in that aspect, leaving no doubt.

i think, that throughout toya's entire journey, he has come to find out that his "haven" is a place where all his friends are, and most importantly, where his biggest love, music is. despite all the pain he harboured over his guilt, i think he is learning to overcome those chains, which has actually been indicated multiple times through using birds and cages as a metaphor. its a very beautiful one.

no matter how much toya struggled with himself, vbs was his haven where he could express himself freely. the newfound freedom that made his heart soar.

even if none of this was real, or everything was a fantasy chapter in toya's novels, he loved every. single. moment. he now knows what it means to love this world.

it does kinda feel crazy to know enough about a topic that i consistently come to work at the museum and they're like "can you give a tour today on this or that aspect of the museum's collection?" and i don't need to even prepare anything, i can just say yes. like again, i know this is like. normal. for adults with jobs to be able to do their job. but it still feels weird to me that i can speak with authority about anything other than fandom

Atiq: name, namesake, one who shares the same name as another. The “name-soul” part of the tripartite atiq/iḷitqutchiq/iñuusiq “name-soul/soul-soul/life-soul” system that in traditional Iñuich cosmology comprises the sentient animate being of a living human and that imbues a child with something of their namesake's characteristics through its inheritance.

Sipiniq: Two spirit, intersex, nonbinary, trans [person]. Literally: “One who changes sex in utero/at birth.” Indigenous Iñuich third gender/sex. Typified in traditional cosmology as a person whose physical sex undergoes a prenatal male-to-female transition and is thus assigned a childhood male gender socialization before transitioning into an adulthood female gender socialization; other children whose namesakes are either sipinġich or assigned the “opposite” sex from them are likewise traditional candidates for such “reverse” gender socialization until typically resocialized in adolescence.

Timi: Human or animal body, the hull of a boat, the part of a boot above the sole.

in asian countries where we don't really use words to show our love and affection for someone, but instead mostly through actions, it will never fail to move me everytime someone tells others "I love you" in a country where those words holds a much higher significant value and cultural linguistic context of "oh you don't really say these words to someone unless you're going to be with them for a lifetime"

there's just something so beautiful ab being able to convey or profess your love in your language where culture ab words of affirmation isn't really focal

it's easy to tell someone you like them but to say I love you to them in words that hold such a high linguistical value bc of culture, that you would tell them these words, words that mean more than just a simple "I love you"...these words that mean that you hold them in your heart dearly and for eternity

it's special. and it's just nice to watch those profound confessions alone that's why i guess i enjoy watching these dramas a lot lol

i don't know, am i exaggerating? perhaps, but what's love if it isn't a little sublime lol
