okay, here, you can have this bit <3

elegy chapter 5 - be my place to land (when my feathers are burnt by the fire) snippet: -----

With a barely swallowed-down sob, Gem leans down and presses a kiss to Scar’s soot-coated hair. She keeps holding him, because at the end of it all, there’s nothing else to do.

Maybe she could be more helpful elsewhere. 

Maybe there is someone out there who needs her more than Scar.

But there’s no one else here right now who could replace her, and she can’t weight her options, can’t make a choice here, pick between two people who mean the world to her. She can’t. She can’t, she refuses to.

She pulls at Scar tighter, and he falls all too willingly against her, breath stuttering and hands finally drifting away from his face to wrap around her, letting her know that she’s right—that this is where she’s needed, even if everything about it hurts.

They’re going to hurt together, until it eventually stops.

That’s all there is to it. All they can do now.

“I’ve got you,” she murmurs to Scar, soft and sniffling. Her voice wobbles, pushing past a lump that keeps growing in her throat. She tries swallowing down a couple of times, but it doesn’t relent.

She thinks, a little detachedly, that there’s wetness falling down her cheeks.

The moment drapes around them, stretching on and on and on, and as they’re left alone amidst the ashen, snow-blanketed ruins, it feels like nothing but endless, gnawing loss.

The only question is how much of it is still left there to unravel.

Sometimes I think about my old manager at work who, in order to prove that the organisation was safe for trans people, told me about a fellow trans employee—a woman who was passing! who wasn’t out to me or to anyone else!—and about how chill everyone in management had been about her needing to take time off TO GET VAGINOPLASTY. He was not her manager! He was not her friend! He did not work in HR! There was no way he could have come into this PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION without being told by another manager who had gossiped. And even if there had been, why the fuck was it any of my business!

Likewise, a friend of mine was just told by a school principal about how a prospective school was safe for trans kids… because a trans girl whose parents don’t affirm her at home is able to be affirmed at school. This information about this child’s gender and home environment was relayed along with her FUCKING GRADE LEVEL. This incredibly vulnerable kid was wheeled out as a selling point by the school with way more than enough information to figure out who she was.

In order to make the argument that a place is safe for trans people, cis people are wayyyy too happy to give out private information about trans people. With allies like these, who needs enemies!!!

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

today in church one of the priests referred to trans people as "those who are growing into the gender they were called to be" and i'm kind of enjoying the idea of like....divinely ordained top surgery

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.
