I can never leave Tumblr because after years of sporadic therapy utterly failed to even approach the core of my problem some random tumblr user was like āI processed my trauma by writing a 10,000 word work of filthy fanfic eroticaā and I was like āfuck it Iāve tried everything elseā and now Iām 17 chapters and 20,000 words deep into an unpublishable work of obscenity and after careful literary analysis with one of the Beloved Mutuals I have come to some Terrible Revelations about my childhood and may now continue the process of Healing. Where else am I supposed to get this kind of experience. Who does this. Why are we like this. Iām never leaving. I love yāall.

writing is kind of like roadwork in that you have to keep coming up with increasingly elaborate reasons for why itās not done yet. thereās a six week delay because of light winds. the deadline has been extended two months because a family of hedgehogs moved in nearby. a tree fell over the laptop

Apparently there was some kind of race scheduled at a local park or something so I've been trying to avoid the main trail but a little while ago when I had to cross near it I overheard the following shouted exchange
Higher feminine voice: woo, look at you go! You're jogging! Keep it up!
Lower masculine voice (panting): you know it! Last place is still a place, baby!
And goddamn if that didn't rewire my brain a little bit.
Last place is still a place, baby.

Tiny
words are so tiny
when my feelings are so big
and sometimes I worry
that you do not know
but all I can do
is trust our hearts
to meet true

genres i'm tired of:
"feminist retellings" of stories that can already be considered feminist in their own right
"feminist retellings" that fumble the "feminist" plotline so bad it just turns misogynistic
"feminist retellings" that still center around and hinge on men
"feminist retellings" written by people who don't understand what feminism is
#*side-eyes everyone āfeministā spin P.C. Cast has ever done*#It's not a feminist retelling if the entire rhetoric is just āmen bad; women goodā

Being the only bi cis guy amongst almost exclusively trans friends and peers is wild because in theory its like im living in a horny manga where all of a dudes friends turn into hot babes, but in reality they are hunting me like the last bison on the prairie. 5 years ago I mentioned bionicle and one of them asked when I was starting estrogen.
