one of the reasons i didn't accept being trans sooner is because i'd look at the cishet men i know and at how they treat women in their lives, at how fucking vile they can get and how casual they are about being blatantly misogynistic, how there are usually absolutely no repercussions for any of it, and i'd think to myself "if this is what being a man is about then i don't want to be one". eventually i'd figure out that no, this isn't what being a man is about, it's just something a lot of them perpetuate, it's not inherent, you don't have to be That. so seeing other trans men who, generally speaking, should've had somewhat similar experiences, come out of it on the opposite end where they gleefully grab onto transmisogyny and have fun with it and feel justified and righteous perpetuating it is fucking baffling

。・:*:・゚☆ Solar Corps Strike Force!! ☆。・:*:・゚
I couldn't get the idea of this music idol AU out of my head, so I went ahead and commissioned the fabulous yinyang.arts to create an idea of what the girls would look like as a pop idol group! (This is also how I discovered that I inadvertently created the female characters of ShoH in a way that exactly aligned with the Spice Girls... Scary Spice, Posh Spice, Baby Spice, Sporty Spice...)
You could read them as a K-pop girl group or as a rock band, whichever you prefer...
☆♬○♩●♪✧♩ Lavinet ♩✧♪●♩○♬☆
Leader / Main vocalist / Bassist
Known for her elegance, charm, and sophistication, Lavinet is undoubtedly the leader of the group and its main vocalist! Famous for her vocal range and strength, she's always the trendsetter and is always wearing the most expensive, latest fashions as she represents the group in interviews and events!
☆♬○♩●♪✧♩ Briony ♩✧♪●♩○♬☆
Main dancer / Backup vocalist / Guitarist
Known for her pep and high energy, Briony supports Lavinet's vocals and entertains the crowd with her cheery physicality and boundless enthusiasm! She has a bit of a tomboyish, carefree, youthful persona, but still enjoys cutesy accessories! Diehard fans know that she enjoys training at a kickboxing gym when she's not on tour with the "Strikers!"
☆♬○♩●♪✧♩ Shery ♩✧♪●♩○♬☆
Maknae / Backup dancer / Keyboardist
Known as the baby of the group, Shery might sport the biggest fanbase, as fans adore her for her shy, lovely personality and gentle demeanor! She's the girliest and cutesiest of the group and enjoys lace, ruffles, pastels, and is known for collecting tea sets and accoutrements, leading some to refer to her as the group's "doll"!
☆♬○♩●♪✧♩ Ayla ♩✧♪●♩○♬☆
Rapper / Drummer
Known as the dark horse and punk of the group, Ayla stands out with her rocker outfits, leather chokers, shredded jeans, and tough, street-wise demeanor! While less favored by corporations and sponsorships for her rebellious personality, coarse language, and various piercings, Ayla is adored by fans for bringing edge to the group, hyping the crowd up as she pours her heart into her high-energy performances. She's issued several challenges to rivals to try and defeat her group in Battle of the Bands, and has never lost yet due to her fiery passion!
☆♬○♩●♪✧♩ Tallys ♩✧♪●♩○♬☆
Manager
The manager of the group, Tallys remains behind the scenes as she organizes and coordinates the Strikers' schedule, events, and business negotiations. Although she's not officially a member of the band, she's garnered her own fanbase for her cool composure and quiet refinement!
I hope you enjoy! 🥰

Modern AU Sanji who’s comfortably bi but stays the toxic manhater he is. This man exclusively stans kpop girl groups. He knows all the fanchants and choreos and has covered the jyp coming of age dance at least once. Whenever a GG member’s dating rumour comes out he opens 20 burner accounts just to doxx, slander, and threaten the man. He hates shindong. There is not a single bias that he will unstan regardless of how insane immoral and deranged her scandal is.

Wait. I can barely find Hong Haein appreciation posts that focus solely on her as a character and her journey and her relationships with her family outside of her love story. What I'll find in the tags are posts about her love for Hyunwoo or just... Hyunwoo. And yet she's the one with the terminal illness. She's the one who's been through so much and was the most enjoyably complex character in the drama. Like where are those lengthy appreciation essay posts that center Hong Haein? I'm obsessed with her yet I feel isolated about it womp womp.
Edit: There needs to be Hyunwoo slander actually.

Current Events in Silm fandom rlly reinforce my feeling that, despite claiming an ethos of acceptance/tolerance of anything that doesn't hurt ppl, a lot of ppl in the section of Silm fandom I frequent do follow a set of socially-agreed-upon mores about what concepts are "not acceptable" to discuss or propose (or the ways in which certain topics must be discussed to be acceptable), that you all seem to have agreed on despite the things those mores restrict not being harmful to anyone.
And when someone does say smth that violates those mores, the response is disproportionate to the amount of harm done (which is typically none, imo). I know it's tempting to say "but we just want people to be comfortable and safe", but treating ppl badly for the sin of sharing thoughts you dislike is NOT the same as preventing people from doing things that are harmful. The former is much more of a harmful behavior than the sharing of the thoughts that sets it off. Fannish etiquette, people: you shouldn’t act like someone’s meta makes them morally suspect just because you disagree with it; save the “this is morally bad” for things that are ACTUALLY harmful. We're all stuck on this website together & if you want to have any sort of community, you need to ACT like you're in a community, and that means letting other people say things you dislike. Block them if you need to! I block people all the time because i know it's better for me AND for them if we can both blog in peace.
I am not particularly comfortable with the young-queer-on-tumblr silm fandom rn due to this tendency to rebuke things that are uncomfortable rather than harmful. Maybe that's fine with you. But if your goal is to make all fans feel comfortable and accepted, you need to actually do that. If your goal is to make people who share your unwritten rules comfortable in your space, you need to admit that, and write those rules down, and curate your space so it follows them.
Edited 8:10am PST to clarify the specifics of the behavior I find concerning.
