is it okay for perisex people to use the terms afab transfem and amab transmasc? is there alternative terms that should be used, or none at all? i would love to know lots about this, and i sincerely apologize if the terminology i'm using is incorrect to begin with, i fully welcome corrections.

thank you for your time!

hey! tysm for the Question!

I have been working on this ask since I got it.

I absolutely thing you can be transfem and afab and perisex, or amab and transfem and perisex. Let's get into why.

First off, of course, let's get into the language of it.

AFAB transfem is not an identity label you should use, because AGAB isn't an identity and it's actually counterproductive to centre it in who you are.

The reason why the term exists and is used is for a few different reasons..

A.) Some people don't have the language to describe how they are. I remember when I was a kid people would ask "can I be an AFAB demigirl?" because they didn't know and they didn't have the language.

B.) It's just what people use. It's a way to discuss "a transfem who is afab" shorter, the discoursers use it and it's simply a way to get what your saying across and seen better

C.) A lot of harassment happens in this community because of queercourse and a lot of people feel pressured into disclosing their AGAB otherwise they're "faking" or "infultrating" the community.

Secondly, transfemininity should never have even been defined by transition, your body, etc.

Transfemininity means a trans person who has a feminine gender, uncommonly mistaken for a trans person who presents femininely. (and also doesn't mean 'another term for trans women'.)

That description right there has been for a while the definition and I understand some people have astrix in their head for that but that's not anybodies problem but their own.

Multigendered people, nonbinary people, etc can all fit into this category and be perfectly perisex.

.

I think the idea people need something that seperates them "enough" from their trans identity to fully identify that way is harmful. Being trans does not need strict labels. You cannot box in the queer experience into specific categories. Being trans is about your experience and I think some people need to come to terms with the fact that it may not look the same for everyone.

Some people define their transness by transition. For them, transitioning to something is a part of their identity. These labels are tools to describe a lifetime of experiences.

For others, it's about their SIG never matching up with who they are.

I have switched in and out several time while writing so let me put it this way as to maintain some facade of an eloquent manner of speaking, I view being trans as something that is more defined by the person who is choosing to use the label rather than a strict definition. Anything other than that won't quite fit right.

This community was not built as a dictionary, everyone will have their own specific life experiences and reasons for identifying as trans and I don't feel like any way you describe it by one specific thing works at all.

(Heres how we would describe transness btw, but it probably needs a bigger post.)

Secondly, I have issues with it being seen as intersex only.

I think defining it as intersex only is kind of othering. Don't get me wrong, the intersex trans experience will hardly ever line up perfectly with perisex trans experiences.

However, I feel like stating intersex as an exception overall feels off to me.. We are not the only people in the community that break the FTM/MTF binary, and I really don't like how othering it is.

Anyways, switched far too much because of stress while writing this let me put it straight:

• Don't ID as 'afab transfem', though there are reasons you may want to use the wording for tags and such. Just call yourself whatever. Transfem, trans women, who cares.

• Being a trans woman or transfem is not some unicorn gender, you don't need a special bit of parts to ID as either of those things. It's somebody who is trans and uses either of those labels.

People may hate to see it, but it's the truth. Transness is not some binary experience. Being trans is personal to everyon and the reason why one person will ID as transfem compared to another and the experiences with that can be entirely different. That's okay. We don't have to be a monolith.

Do whatever you want anon, if you feel like you fit in some way why not? It's like saying 'therians are only spiritual' to me. Why box in a community that doesn't need to be? Why create definitions that do nothing but exclude? Being trans is an experience, but that doesn't mean all of ours have to be the same.

doctors and medicine are about impossible to find inside of noxus. they don't believe in meddling with someone's fate of survival, that you need only fight as much as you can and if you die, you will die.

if your disability kills you, you die. but if you don't go down fighting, you will be looked down upon. for your disability, for your easy death. if you get injured and it gets infected or the bleeding just won't stop without medical intervention, you die. if you walk into the wrong neighborhood, you die. if you struggle during childbirth, and it's you or the baby, it's whoever fights the strongest and survives.

infant death rate is high, especially in the common folk inside of noxus. nobles get away with safety during childbirth and after, but even those often refuse any kind of medical intervention out of pure principle.

if you are meant to die, you will die, but you will die fighting.

Thanks for the updates! I don’t want to spread misinformation so I’ll go ahead and delete the post.

I'm glad to help.

I do think playing with the possibilities of reincarnation is a lot of fun mind you, I play with it in my fics too. It just doesn't have much mythological support lol. There may be some philosophical support of course, but I'm not the *most* educated on all the various philosophers of Ancient Greece, haven't made them a focus yet beyond what I studied in rhetoric.

I do wanna talk to your professor sometime cause I'm wondering what his sources are for the Achilles stuff and Thetis mythology. I know the Metis myth fits what he claims of Thetis but no source I've read on Thetis mentions the prophecy the way he mentioned it.

Anyways, I do hope you have fun with your fic idea? I mean, idk if you plan to write it lol but if you do that would be an interesting play. I do enjoy playing with reincarnation (my fav is Pallas reincarnating as Percy).

*A little cookie, blueberry flavored from their dough color with flowing hair, stars sparkling all around in it (although duller than they should be), seemed to be walking around outside the spire, using their key staff to stay upright. With a look so dull it might as well wilt any flower it sees and heavy eyebags underneath his eyes, a milkcrown flower resting in his hair, the cookie stumbles, holding onto their staff harshly as they look up to the souljam resting on it, a small crack starting at the top.*

*The cookie.. looked exactly like the fount of knowledge, though much younger, quite literally a child. Though.. there were a few changes, one being how his wavy hair seemed completely flat and drenched, displaying a horrible mood, along with the milky texture inside his hair dripping behind him with just barely visible eyes in it looking towards the ground. His crown seemed to be cracked and weak, a part of it only hanging on by a thread, considering how it dangled from the side. His souljam, too, seemed a lot dimmer than it would’ve been back then, slightly tinted grey. Other details, hinting at exhaustion and overexertion.. weren’t as big, though they did seem to matter, just slightly. Besides the souljam on the key staff hung a lantern, blue fire aflame inside, looking quite like a light of deceit.. though, instead, it seemed to be of knowledge, considering the way the souljam was pointing.*

*He sighs, looking around as if he were lost and unaware to any presence, before tripping on a rock and careening to the ground, lying there for a moment before pushing himself back up, ignoring the aching in that leg from what could be a crack, considering how frail his dough was.*

…mmm.. there has to be somewhere I can-…

*the cookie pauses, holding his head as he looks down.*

*despite being a version of the fount.. The poor things spirit seemed about the same as Truthless Recluses…*

(Hellooooo it’s me again! No this is not the same cookie as mysterious cookie ((though they might be connected in a way, not sure yet)), they’ll return again eventually, I just found an audio and thought of another goober so I’m throwing em here :3, it’s fun roleplaying with ya! You’re really good at this, I love your responses!!!)

He wasn't even really hiding himself, he was just lounging nearby. He could sneak up so easily on this cookie if he so wished. The stars fascinated him. So dull, and yet it was as if they were meant to be full of life. He did sneak around the stray cookie, eyeing the staff momentarily. What a... poor, frail thing. He wasn't sure how he felt about the cookie's appearance. It was familiar. Too familiar. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. Shadow Milk walked up from behind the cookie, patting him on the head. It was a teasing gesture, not quite malice filled, however there was a thin line between deception and anger. Even if he was neither of those things. It was hard to tell with him. He was grinning as if he didn't have tons of thoughts going through his head. "Helloooo there! You seem awfully, awfully out of place with your appearance! Who might you be? You caught quite the cookie's attention, if I must say so myself!" ...He had way too much energy for just popping up behind the other cookie like that. "Don't look so dooown! No room for that sort of despair in my domain!"

What flavor of popcorn does Medic like I'm getting him some

i hate to disappoint you anon, but he doesnt like popcorn! he hates how the kernels get stuck in his teeth and how loudly everyone else eats it and the smell of that overly salty artificial butter gives him a headache. if youre offering it to him, he miiiight eat just a few pieces of it to be polite if its sweet and/or the kind that has chocolate on it but dont expect him to take more than a few pieces

[ghost-proofbaby]

okay now that you have the crowd consensus what's YOUR headcanon ghost

truthfully, i asked the question due to currently writing a oneshot/blurb related to it!

my big thing is i headcanon eddie's favorite color as red (see the shire is burning, where eddie makes a point to compliment willow's hair. or 24 hours, where i think eddie has even said his favorite color is red?), but i don't think he'd say something as "plain" as red roses. i think the "weirder looking" the better when it comes to him. he likes a flower with a story behind it, some sort of mythology or belief.

this specific oneshot is related to valentine's day, though, so i think eddie would melt at any flower presented to him on that day! i just wanted reader to know what his favorite flower is, and had been concocting different specific flowers he might have mentioned in passing + the story/reasoning that he's indulged reader in before!! it got me thinking, so i wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts on it 🤍
