#I’d take anything

[kindlythevoid]

You write so that your favorite actor will one day star in an adaptation of your book.

I write so that an adaptation of my work gets featured on Film Theory.

We are not the same.

Find me a TV show where the main characters get together within the first 3 episodes and then they have a relationship with healthy communication and nothing excessively dramatic happen to them. Just a show with a happy, drama free relationship.

Like all those filler episodes in an anime where they just go to the beach and be happy? I want a whole show like that.

Today my school is hosting a mixer for the graduating seniors with game industry professionals and alumni. They usually have a career fair but the industry is in such a recession that not enough companies are hiring to justify it. As I was coming up on the side of a building I saw a girl open the door then back out.

We made eye contact and she said, “I think I’ll just go around the front.”

“Why?”

“It’s so packed in there, I’m nervous.” We’d have to pass through the crowded cafeteria to get to the name tags and check in.

I smiled and said, “it’s okay. Let’s go together!”

She smiled back and preceded me into the fray. When a wall presented itself and she couldn’t push through I stepped up and politely cleared a way for us. We got to the name tags and she thanked me.

I’ve seen a few of my more shy cohort standing and moved to introduce them to an industry person in their discipline. The more positive interactions the better, even if it doesn’t score me a job.

A little bit ago my friend grabbed my elbow and pointed to someone looking for a rigger and I was delighted. It felt like kindness came right back around to me.

You are without doubt the worst rogue cultivator I’ve ever heard of. Ah. But you have heard of me.

Some Mobei-jun/rogue cultivator!Shen Yuan brainrot—thanks to @neonghostcat I can no longer separate SY from the guandao 😭 (thank you from the bottom of my heart)

If this was established years ago, why has no one posted fics of it 😔

(I’m on my Bloodkeep rewatch and that duo means the world to me, I desperately need someone to talk to about it)

hey i know your post about your mom was mostly just a personal vent, but i have to say, do you realize that also happens with trans girls and their fathers? literally happened to one of my friends. i’m not trying to downplay your experience or something but i found it strange that you seem to think this is something that only affects transmascs

i have one question for you: so fucking what?

i don’t doubt that trans girls have experienced similar things and yeah, that’s bad too, but what the fuck does that have to do with me and the specific things i’m facing as a result of being a trans man? i never said “look at this thing that happens to ONLY trans men and NO ONE ELSE,” i just said “hey, isn’t this thing that happens to a lot of trans men, including myself, fucked up?”

i would also like to point out that what you’re talking about is in fact a different (albeit similar) thing. the way cis people treat trans people can differ dramatically based on the cis person’s gender because their commitment to gender roles is, like, a major part of problem. the specific way a cis mother reacts to her trans son’s transition is often going to be very distinct, while a cis father will likely respond to his trans daughter in a different but equally distinct way.

what i’m talking about is a very specific kind of ownership and control and self-victimization and total lack of boundaries masquerading as love and care and maternal concern that cis women (i would argue white cis women in particular) project onto their transmasc kids when we do literally anything to our bodies. i’m talking about a phenomenon which is closely related to the way moms often pass eating disorders onto their daughters (or children they view as daughters) because they see a body that looks something like theirs and project all of their insecurities and ideals onto it. i’m talking about a form of parental transphobia and projection that’s specific to the dynamic of a cis mother and her child who was “supposed to” be her daughter.

if you’ve never felt that, you’re not even remotely qualified to tell me shit about how i should be talking about that experience, and if you couldn’t recognize that experience when you read my post, i’m guessing you probably haven’t experienced it because the replies to that post made it very clear to me that anyone who has experienced it firsthand immediately knew exactly what i meant.

like, yeah, cis dads also project onto their trans daughters, but are they likely to have a reaction like running away with actual tears streaming down their face? do you expect them to passive aggressively make comments about how sad their kid’s transition makes them, how it’s such a difficult emotional time, how it’s so tragic because their kid’s body was so beautiful before? do you think their go-to transphobic reaction will be weaponizing their emotions? i’m sure there are some dads out there who are like that, but i think we can agree they’re in the minority because that’s not how cis men are taught to react and parents like this tend to be pretty damn committed to following the gender roles they were taught.

and even if i’m wrong and our experiences are exactly the same, let me reiterate that i never said this was an experience exclusive to trans men. all i said is that it happens to us. that’s just a statement of objective fact.

this started in my life when i got my hair cut short for the first time almost a decade ago and it has not stopped since. i’ve watched my mom cry over me changing my name and respond to being asked if my happiness matters more to her than my name by saying “i care about both”, i’ve watched her melt down in a mall over me getting a suit for prom and give me the silent treatment for days after, i’ve heard her plead with me to stop t because it “looks unnatural” and she’s just so “concerned for my health”, i’ve watched her stare at me post-op and say “my poor baby” over and over like she’s looking at my corpse in a casket. i’ve watched her turn herself into the victim of every single aspect of my transition. i’ve had to live with this for 9 years and spent the early years of the pandemic literally locked in a house with it. this has been my entire adolescent and adult life, and the question of if i’ll have to cut her off someday (and maybe never see my cat or my little cousins who i love more than anything in the world ever again as a result) haunts me every single day.

who the fuck are you to tell me how to talk about that?

I feel so bad for his friends, they’re all so young, what a shit thing to deal with when your job is to act happy on camera. What a shit thing to deal with in general. What a shit thing to happen. I hope they’re okay. I hope they take time to grieve and to all take care of themselves.

But also please don’t judge them if they’re trying to distract themselves with a stream, let them do whatever they feel comfortable with, they’re adults and can handle their own feelings.

Take care. Be kind. Enjoy each and every little thing life has to offer. Hug your friends and tell the CCs you follow how much you appreciate them. Smile at random people on the street. Live life and be good to yourself as well as others.

[official-lucifers-child]

let’s be real, if any of us actually ended up in a fandom universe (you know those stories, where some modern girl obsessed with the latest and greatest queer ship gets sent to hogwarts or whatever and tries to save the world) we’d fuck it up SO QUICKLY. at least i know i would, i would take one look at the new universe and ask “is anyone going to make things worse?” and not wait for an answer. oh no i cant use my real name for reasons? yeah now i’m ebony dementia darkness raven way and no one can stop me. i’m mysterious and unknown. i speak in riddles. i can and will kill people for fun. fixing the timeline? no, fucking the timeline.

[puppyeared]

its so hard to watch time pass when things like careers and assignments exist. what do you mean im supposed to take that seriously

[togament]

you feel togame’s larger hand rest on top of yours while you’re both sitting next to each other. you look over to him and it’s like he’s not affected by it at all, scrolling through his phone without sparing you a glance. your heart breaks a little but you swear you feel his grip tighten slightly when you attempt to move away (you think he did it on accident and hasn’t noticed)

…unbeknownst to you, his heart’s already beating a mile a minute and he prays you don’t feel the sweat forming on his palm.

“Look at that abled-looking teenaged girl using a grocery store electric wheelchair! There’s no way they need that!”

Maybe they do.

“But they’re taking pictures with it!”

Maybe they like taking pictures.

“But they walked here fine!”

Maybe they can walk from the car to the grocery store but walking around the grocery store to do their shopping would cause too much pain or fatigue or heart rate problems or whatever else.

“But they’re so young!”

And only old people are allowed to be disabled?

“But their friend is using it too! The two of them are switching off!”

Maybe their friend needs it too.

“They’re taking it from someone who actually needs it!”

Maybe they actually need it.

This sounds like a hypothetical but this is a real conversation I had with someone. Believe it or not, disabled people can be teenaged girls. Disabled people can look abled to you. Disabled people can use whatever mobility aids they damn well please. It’s not your fucking business Kevin. Leave them be.

Hi hi !!!!,, I asked this to velli as well, but I wanna know what Narrator stereotype you've personally heard the most as well ??? If that's okay :)

I saw velli’s post so I’ll try to give a different answer, and I’m not afraid to say that *I* frequently fall under this stereotype at times. I’d say making the narrator cute innocent and clueless. No offense to anyone who does this of course, I love seeing that stuff! But I would say it seems a little bit OOC. He’s selfish, and at times sadistic. This guy would OBLITERATE Stanley at any moment just for funsies because he know it has no consequences. As much as I draw it, I don’t think he would be completely lovey dovey towards Stanley. Sure they need each other and everything, but people are forgetting to add that tension. The constant back and forth, like a strained marriage. I want nothing more than for them to be cute together and all but it would take a LOT for them to get there. And going along the lines of “they’re in a time loop forever” they might fall in and out of that kind of relationship. I miss seeing more character in the narrator besides “silly little tsundere who doesn’t know what romance is.” I’ve been thinking about tweaking my narrator design to characterize him more as well, but that’s a whole other rant lol. Probably weren’t expecting this from the cute narrator guy huh /silly
