the way you murdered that guy talking out of his ass (still speechless at “legion of death and destruction”) was very sexy and cool if this was the oppa homeless style era he would just be making up stories about that time he beat up a cop for being transmisogynistic and everyone clapped

and I got my own everyone clapped moment out of it, it was great

I'm starting to think we should set the word "privilege" aside for a little bit and try to talk about things in terms of something like "advantage". Say, is there a capital "P" Privilege binary (trans) people have over nonbinary people? Eh, questionable. But I certainly can name a few situational advantages a binary trans person would have in my situation, and I would be open to discuss the advantages I have, without making it a black-and-white issue of who has a privilege over whom.

that's really smart imo I like that idea a lot

Wanted to say as a transmasc I also don't think the way you talk about transmasc TRFs is a problem given it's the exact same way you talk about transfem TRFs. I always took transradfem to be the same as radfem in the sense that it does not denote gender but an ideology, you do not have to be a transfem to be a transradfem/believe in and uphold transradfeminism. TRF transmascs are not exempt from criticism, especially when they go the extra mile of openly owning the misogyny the TRF ideology labels them with. Like if a cis man was siding with radfems on the grounds that he is a misogynist and all men are actually and the radfems are right and then going around and beating up other men...I'd criticize that. Heavily. Tmascs are not exempt from this. Like, acting like ANY group is exempt from criticism due to their oppressed status is bullshit and reductive and not something we should normalize. Transfems are not exempt from having their radical feminism called out, and neither are tmascs and nonbinary people and cis people. No one is incapable of bigotry, we can all be monsters, it is important to recognize that. And right now that includes critizing all TRFs, even ones who are transmasc. And again it's indistinguishable from how you talk about transfem TRFs so like I do not see the problem.

Thank you for saying so anon~!

I love how you take these pretentious assholes and expose them for how ridiculous they are

It's difficult. To paraphrase Penny Arcade, it's like making fun of a clown, what are you going to do, make fun of his floppy shoes?

If it were simply a matter of telling people the truth, there would be no flat earthers or anti vaxxers. There'd be no anti trans moral panic, or any other moral panic for that matter. Human belief can be more about what feels true than what is, even if the reality is more appealing.

It's a bleak species we're a part of.

Funny (sarcasm) how TRFs go around accusing trans mascs of being MRAs and then turn around and spout a bunch of bullshit about "AFAB privilege," as if that isn't just the "woke" version of incels talking about "female privilege"

And then they're like, "how dare you compare trans women to MRAs," and you're like "okay but you are saying that being born with a vagina means society will always favor them when they make false sexual assault complaints"

i think binary privilege is really simple to explain: male and female are genders that exist in society, and there are no other genders that are recognized by society. so if you're a man or a woman, you exist and can interact with society, but if you're a different gender, you have to pretend to be a man or a woman in order to do most things in society. like to go to the doctor, get a drivers license, go to most schools, file other government paperwork, etc, and even to do fun things like sports or even social things like the local trivia night, i have to either pretend to be a man or pretend to be a woman, because there are no other options and you aren't allowed to not disclose your gender or not be categorized by it. and if you say you dont have a gender or dont want to be categorized by gender, that isnt acceptable and they make you anyway. but men and women don't have to do this because they can say to treat them like either a man or a woman and this is correct for them, and at least where i am, you are allowed to transition and be treated as either a man or a woman even in the government, it is only nonbinary that is considered to not exist at all. there is transphobia of course, but it is "this gender exists and you just cant call yourself it," but the nonbinary stuff is more "this doesn't exist at all, and you could transition to the opposite gender, but you have to pick one." i hope this was understandable, i have a hard time articulating this stuff!

You did fine! I think that gets at the heart of the issue, although as others have said it's very conditional.

100% agree with the discussion of binary privilege but can we stop saying "oppressor". If it's true that trans men don't have the power to oppress trans women then it can't be possible for binary trans people to oppress nonbinary trans people either.

Yeah I don't think it's ever been a particularly great word.

Hey i just wanted to say thank you so much, you’re so fucking fabulous. Happy holidays if you're celebrating and, if not, I hope you have a fantastic evening!!

You as well~!

none of the asks talking abt the deactivated guy couldve prepared me for seeing the actual post mf had a dictionary open next to him for that one jesus fucking christ. "coalesced" "absconded" and "schism" killed me

he was trying his hardest

Wtf is happening?! Call me naive, but I thought this tirf stuff was a Tumblr, maybe reddit, only problem. I'm not on FB often and I JUST joined blue sky, but already I see it on both platforms. On FB a woman was ranting about how gay men don't need representation because they're the most privileged and have all the media. She got some pushback and immediately started using the word "moid" and defended trans women all in the same paragraph. That is TERF language. They're seriously using TERF words now. How bad is this actually going to get? I'm a recluse, so I genuinely don't know how common this is in irl spaces, but things aren't looking too good online. It looks like it's about to become the LB(women only)T(women only) Q(women only) community vs Lgbtq+ normal people.

hilarious news for the person who insisted 'moid' is an insult intended to mean trans women exclusively

different anon than the others talking about binary privilege but i do think that binary privilege is a thing. however, i think it is extremely conditional, even more so than most other forms of privilege. i consider myself both binary and nonbinary because i'm multigender and i'm not taken seriously no matter how i introduce myself but there is a vast difference between when i introduce myself as only a binary man vs when i introduce myself with all of my genders or just any of my nonbinary genders.

yeah I for sure see that

I wish people would stop treating bigotry as a logical thing and other people’s experiences with it as something that can be extrapolated from your own personal experiences with it. Something similar happened in disabled circles (people are shitty to me because my illness is something they can’t see and they think I’m faking it, so they must treat people with visible illnesses better) and it really sucks to see it happening with trans people, too. We’re a family! We can listen and learn from each other!

Yesss, solidarity is so important and I see transfems given so much, it sucks when it's not repaid.

Has any1else noticed the autoandrophilia tag is completely destroyed by terf bots...

They fill up all the TERF and TERF-adjacent tags, which goes to show that TERFs do in fact accuse trans men of autoandrophilia on a regular basis lmao.

everytime i see binary trans women try to claim they are the only ones who care abt and are inclusive towards nonbinary trans fems or amab nonbinary people in general i think abt when my ex girlfriend told me (binary trans man) not to install our AC by myself and i should wait for "a real man" to do it...talking abt our nonbinary partner who did not identify as a man at all. and when i corrected her and said that was really hurtful to both me and our other partner she was like "oh u know what i mean youre just really small and [they] are bigger and stronger" and i was like. girl wtf are u Saying thats misgendering and transphobic??? i could rant abt her for ages but i will leave it at that lmao

wild how that keeps happening

My hot take about "binary privilege" is that it does actually exist but not like that and it's not gender thing. Its a social conformity thing. The west in particular is built on false dichotomous thinking and everything is binarized and conforming to binarism provides social privileges relevant to the social axis (i.g Democrats vs Republicans necessarily hold power over Independent parties due to the binarist structures of politics) like the problem isn't that one is or has a binary gender, it's about conforming to social binarism to access benefits, and that means a lot of things and none of them are "binary trans people have more privilege" bc Trans is Trans. Maybe this is why some binary trans women act like being trans women make them non binary, they recognize how transness inherently challenges aspects of the sex binary. Then kind of take that too far, into "identity as praxis" zones

Unfortunately some people define themselves by their gender identity and literally nothing else.

The tme/tma is very exorsexist, coming from a bigender freak who either looks like a trans woman or a trans man but can't ever look cis. Are the bouts of transmisogyny I experience tma or does that not count unless they know my asab? Are they invalid if my asab isn't the 'right one'? What about my enby friends or genderfluid friends who enjoy breaking those gendered expectations by not being one of the two genders at all? What about the oppression and harm they've faced because of transmisogyny? Does harm because of transmisogynistic povs only count as transmisogyny if you were born and told you're amab (and perisex)? Why can't we discuss the transmisogyny to trans women, and how it affects trans women, and also how that transmisogyny can and will bleed out into there, the same as transandrophobia, the same as exorsexism? I'm just fucking sick and tired of being told that I can't experience transandrophobia when I definitely have, that I can't experience transmisogyny until I reveal my asab, that certain people only experience certain axes of oppression without being in that group of people. We bleed the same to the shitheads who want us quiet and dead, let's stop killing ourselves over who's more oppressed. Being tma or tme doesn't change that you have to hold on to and stand with the freaks who break your rules to not only survive, but live.

We'll all get to where we're going together, one way or another.

I saw someone basically mock people being marked red on Shinigami eyes as “trans men whining because they’re objectifying trans women” but 1. Intersex people opposing TME/TMA as a strict binary have also been purposefully targetted, 2. Trans Women & trans fems who have been saying “hey this is all very radical feminist of you” have been targetted (such as yourself, thank you btw) & 3. A trans streamer I follow who, seemingly, has NOTHING to fucking do with this discourse except maybe host “TME” people on her channel on occasion? Maybe??? Or had once cut ties with a friend who was specifically harassing another friend? Has been marked red so idk!!! like it is exhausting to see someone I used to follow and admire reduce this whole thing to “well trans men are horny sexist pigs, so this is all working as planned” when in most cases, the very people you’re Claiming to advocate for are also being thrown into the machinery

yeah but it's not happening to them so why would they care

i remember years ago, i (nonbinary) was rooming with a (binary trans) guy. he brought a friend over one night and we were all chatting. at one point, his friend asked what the difference was in experience of being binary versus nonbinary - not in the internal experience of gender sense, but in navigating the world - and my roommate said "there's really no difference." of course i jumped in and said no, hey, there's a lot of differences! at the time, there was no X gender marker available anywhere (except in iirc washington state?? which we did not live in), doctors in the area wouldnt pursue ANY medical transition unless you committed to full strength hormones+top and bottom surgery, and judges wouldnt approve name changes for gender reasons unless you were committing to "full" transition. i dont know how much of this was legislation and how much was social contract, tbf, but that was the situation we lived in. and he just......looked at me, rolled his eyes, called me crazy, and kept talking like nothing had happened. this isnt really "proof" of one group of trans people having it worse than another or anything - laws have changed a lot since then, and ive been able to self select for an X gender marker and pursue the transition i want! - but file it under "examples of exorsexism"

I'm very sorry anon, you both deserve to be treated better than that. <3

What's with this weird rebranding of baeddels I've been seeing 🤔 people acting like theyre hated on for being cringe, people acting like their haters came up with the word baeddel rather than them coming up with it themselves? I've seen it from people who see the transandro v transradfem discourse seem equally ridiculous on both sides but it just feels forced to me. Maybe that's just my own experience, though! Besides that, how have you been?

Devastatingly sick.

just saw a trans guy with two posts on his blog like a few days max apart. one said trans guys are exempt from misogyny bc they're not women. the other said that transandrophobia is just transphobia + misogyny so it doesn't need a name. I just. do they not read what they post???

they don't read

the thread you've pointed out of self described tme trans men being obsessed with insisting that they are definitely a big scary threat who must watch their every move to avoid accidentally (social) murdering the soft and gentle women around them is soooooooo funny to me now it's been pointed out because i genuinely think a lot of these dudes need to do some soul searching on whether or not they just have a kink for being perceived as dangerous 'cause i know i do. and i know its because im a short, disabled, never-passing trans man

you're so valid though anon

just got condescendingly called babygirl in the notes of a post responding to the "bomb that kills all transmascs" post and i'm like having whiplash. i cant even see my reply or the person's full reply because i think the op deleted my comment (fair, i am hardly eloquent or thoughtful with wording when i am upset) so all i have in my notifs is "hey babygirl, real quick-" before it cuts off. like... one the one hand thank god but on the other i wish all radfems a very please get out of my notifs. i think i'm going to step further away from the discourse because i also think they accused me of being a zionist (i posted about hannukah one (1) time and they had like. 'zionist reciepts' in their username) and i'm just. i'm so tired man. why can't we all relax. why can't we all be chill. like i don't know them, they don't know me, so why do we have to hate each other so much? aren't y'all tired? i know i am. - strawberry anon (not associated with the alligator. i just like strawberry crush)

TRFs are obsessed with transandrobros being Zionists because they are all in on the viral sensation that is performative Gaza support

Can I say it's so fucking disheartening to be a trans guy who is just, like, normal. I'm not transmisogynistic, and I firmly believe that most other transmascs are the same, so it's irritating to constantly see all this "we're asking you to do better" bull. I know plenty of transmascs and none of us are out here social murdering anybody. And sure, maybe it's unfair of me, but I am tired. of. hearing. it.

As you should be. Love you anon. <3

Im not naming names, but I feel like it become obvious to me how malicious TRFs on this site are when I witnessed a teenage, transmasc blogger living in a country where being transgender is extremely dangerous, be harassed by a group of white, American, TRFs. Seeing them openly brag about it and mock him over it, and then witness people running to their defence, even going as far as to claim the user who initiated the harassment wasn’t a radfem and people should “just leave her alone” despite her having posted about wanting to hurt trans men and calling them slurs. I’m sure you’re aware of what I’m talking about here but I feel like that was the breaking point for me giving this group any benefit of the doubt and honestly I’m just glad you’re doing a good thing here

You should name names.

twin peaks anon here again to tell you that my friends joke that I "microdose twin peaks" because I used to only watch ~5 minutes of it a day.

weird but also Twin Peaksian

the sunnydinthereal bullshit is stressing me outttttt 😭 the usual trfs finally found a tguy saying transmisogynistic shit that no one is supporting, and now they’re reblogging it over and over and holding him up like “look at the typical transandrobro. they’re all just like this” lmao.

that's just normal lol they were already pointing out the odd radfem trying to come into the tag acting like it's shocking that a TERF would try and take advantage of conflict between trans people by ASAB

Pls read this before DMing me

Hello, my name is Yuki and my pronouns are she/they. I am transfeminine nonbinary, and assigned male at birth, as if it even matters.

I am a switch and I can rp any gender or sex, so don’t be afraid to ask if you want to roleplay with me.

Kinks include:

Birth

Breeding

Fpreg

Transfem preg

Anal birth (fpreg or transfem preg only)

Girlcock birth

Sadism

Sex inducing labor

Sex during labor (genuinely a great way to keep the labor stage interesting for me)

Hyper birth/oversized offspring (anywhere from 10lbs to the size of an actual adult. You decide)

Multiples (literally any plausible number atp)

Any type of nonhuman/monster/alien birth

Egg laying when the egg(s) is/are of equal or greater size to a human baby

Painful birth

Tearing

Generally, if it’s a category of birth, I’ll like it

Things I’m neutral to (not interested in but doesn’t make me ick):

Pregnancy (aside from confirming the size of the offspring, bellies don’t do much for me. Includes most permapreg. Sometimes I like a little pregnancy fluff, but it’s gotta be followed by birth)

Sex (if it’s completely unrelated to birth. Barely even made this list as I do enjoy it of course, I’d just rather it not detract from birth, as this is a birth kink centered blog. I’ll link my other blog at the bottom of this post.)

Birth denial (usually goes on for much longer than I have the patience for.)

Egg laying when the egg(s) is/are smaller than a human baby

Other types of birth that include smaller offspring (it’s gotta be a challenge)

Orgasmic birth (the pain is what I like about birth. Adding pleasure just makes it boring to me.)

Lactation (does nothing for me)

Things that make me ick:

Mpreg (starting to grow on me but if they’re too masculine it’s a still big ick)

Tmpreg (starting to grow on me moreso than mpreg, but too much masculinity is still an ick)

Sex during birth (anal or otherwise. Best case scenario it distracts from the birth, worst case scenario it’s straight up creepy)

Breast growth (when it’s a focus or excessive. I prefer smaller breasts anyway)

Weight gain

Inflation

Vore

Gore (I like blood and tearing, not organs or mutilation)

Stillbirth/miscarriage

Death (under very specific circumstances, I’ll allow it)

Pedophilia (should go without saying. I am NOT attracted to the baby AT ALL. Just the birthing)

Anyone 50 or older (my bad for not listing this here earlier, I forgot about it. Please do not send me asks about anyone over 49, whether it be the seeder or carrier, it’s just not my thing. I have no problem if you yourself are in that age range, this is just concerning fantasy)

Now that you know what I’m into and what I’m not, my dms are open if you’d ever like to talk or rp. I promise I will get back to you as soon as I can.

I am extremely grateful to have found this community of likeminded people who share this rare and often misunderstood kink and I would like to do more than just lurk for once. I really want to become a real part of this community, so please follow me if you like what I post and never be afraid to interact with me. My asks are always open and I will respond to as many as I can. Every time I open tumblr I check my inbox and every time I see a new one I do a little cheer, so do not hesitate.

That being said, if you want to see what I’m like when I’m not posting about birth, you can check out my alt blog, @laynejailey, where I post things such as: normal content, other kink content, My Chemical Romance, Class of 09, Jerma985, and Hatsune Miku.

Also if you’ve caught on by now, the name of my alternate blog did come from “Layne Staley” and the name of this blog is a similar destruction of “Dave Grohl”.

Hey! I'm really excited that there are two butch characters in Red Shift Blue Shift, what are their relationships to each other and to the larger lesbian communities around them? Also, are there any trans women or transfeminine nonbinary characters in the cast, or in your other projects? (I tried sending an ask to the comic blog, but I couldn't find the option.)

Hey! (Turns out we hadn't switched asks on for the comic blog, thanks for pointing that out, the option should be there now!)

Oh I'm so glad you're excited about there being multiple butch characters in RSBS, that was something that was really important to us to include when we were building our cast. I'm very fond of them both, they're a great time.

It's hard to say too much about their relationship to each other without getting into spoiler territory, but Kamari is something of a wildcard character. She's working for a cause of her own, something that's sometimes at cross-purposes to the main team, which Georgie is part of, so there's a bit of plot-relevant antagonism there, at least in a big picture sense. It takes a wee while before Kamari interacts directly with any of the main team, although she'll be hanging around the edges of their activities and playing a major role in the other main thread of the story. Georgie and Kamari will end up connected eventually, although how is spoilers, but I can say that they're one of the (many, many) pairs of narrative foils in the comic. The story is going to be split into two major threads, the blue thread following Dan and their team, and the red thread following our masked antagonist and their allies, and Georgie and Kamari are one pair of characters that in some ways mirror each other across that divide and end up having an impact on each other over time as the story unfolds.

Which kind of links in to the next part of your question - Kamari, at the point we find her in the story, is quite isolated from anything really in the way of broader community. She did have that, once, and she doesn't anymore, and the story there is a big part of her character, along with where she ends up going from there. Georgie, on the other hand, is probably the most social of the main team, barring maybe Max. When she's not out on missions, she's a regular in her local queer community, especially the lesbian bars, and she's got at least a few amicable exes in that community and amongst her law school cohort. She's a gregarious, friendly sort of person, and the sort that tends to adopt any young queer people in her vicinity, so aboard the team's ship she's definitely something of a Cool Queer Aunt.

Speaking of Max, I'm not sure transfem is the term ey'd personally use, but ey're definitely the cast member with the most fem elements to their particular flavour of nonbinary. Gender presentation is something fun to em, and ey're pulling from a bunch of different directions when it comes to eir personal style.

As for the rest of the cast, we're still building out from our main ten, but the intention is absolutely to include trans women and transfem folks, both human and robot. Now's probably the point to admit that our jokey working title for the comic is 'Butches In Space', because it is a bit of a self-indulgent exercise in including all the butch and transmasc and agender characters that we almost never get to see (and especially don't get to see interacting with each other). Ultimately you've got to do what appeals to you, personally, with a project, but that doesn't mean that we're not going to make sure that the rest of the world of RSBS is suitably full of all different kinds of folks. Obviously it's really important to include transfem folks in a story that's using a lot of transphobia metaphors, since they're unfortunately one of the groups that's targeted the most. There's a lot of significant secondary characters that we've still only got rough sketches of roles for, like assorted family members and other agents and various folks relevant to different cases, and I'm sure a bunch of them will and up being transfem once we get to know them better. We're planning on having a lot of fun with gender stuff amongst both the humans and the robots.

Also, one last fun note about Kamari and Georgie - there aren't going to be any active romance plots in the comic, it's going to be a very aro sort of story, but like I mentioned above re: Georgie's various exes that doesn't mean that the characters that aren't aro don't have relationships in their pasts. Without spoiling Kamari's deal, I will say that Pearl from SU was one of the characters that partly inspired her, so read into that what you will. And, in the course of the main story, Georgie and Kamari's dynamic when they do end up face to face might be the closest we get to writing flirting. We thought it would be fun to leave a little bit of room for shipping, if a hypothetical reader is that way inclined, even if the main story isn't going to feature any romance arcs and will be more focused on the platonic side of their dynamic. And it was something of a deliberate choice to have the only canon-compatible ship amongst the main cast be a lesbian one, since fandom is after all a bit notorious for ignoring them.

#thanks so much for the questions!!#and thanks for being patient with me taking a wee while to answer #red shift blue shift #asked and answered #personal stuff

Hi, I'm George, and I suppose I'm questioning whether or not I am a system. I'm not sure if this is the right place to come for this, but I saw some similar asks on the blog, and doing this myself has been very frustrating, so I figured I might as well try. So I occasionally have these very strange dissociative episodes, where I have these intense screaming arguments in my head with myself. I spent a long time thinking they were just auditory hallucinations, but I'm not so sure about that anymore. In the past year or so I've been under a lot of stress, and some of these arguments have turned into almost calm conversations where I actually start sorting problems out. I've noticed in these conversations I'm both an active and passive participant on both sides, if that makes sense. In addition to this, I often feel like I have multiple identities. I am an atheist, but I sometimes strongly feel I am part of religious groups that I have literally nothing to do with. I'm also transmasc nonbinary, but sometimes I get the idea that I should be transfem, which is always very confusing to me. I will occasionally refer to myself with we/us pronouns on accident, but other than that I've never had the common symptoms of plurality, like amnesia, or people I don't know knowing me, and I'm running out of other explanations. Again, I'm not sure if this is the right place to come, but I couldn't find a better place, and therapy isn't an option for me right now. I'm just not really sure what to do or where to go, so any resources or insight you might be able to offer would be a huge help. Thank you : )

Hiya, George! So we’ve got a few things we can say that might help you :3

Since it sounds like you’re questioning things right now, the best resource we can give you is our resource post for questioning systems! It has a ton of links to articles with info on a bunch of different kinds of systems and plurality. It’s a great place to start for anyone hoping to learn more about multiplicity! >w<

Honestly, we’re not going to be able to confirm or deny whether or not you’re plural… sorry about that! >_<” But! What we can say, is that amnesia is not a requirement for plurality! And as far as dissociative amnesia goes, it’s possible to experience it without really knowing that’s what’s going on! We’ll link a post we wrote on dissociative amnesia, too, in case that might help! :3

We’re not trying to deny or dictate your experience at all here!! Members of our own system didn’t really know or understand that we were experiencing amnesia before we knew about our system, so we thought it was worth it to bring this up >w<

In the mean time, while you’re still learning about yourself and whether or not you’re plural, we’d like to say that anyone who feels like the plural framework is good for them is welcome to use it. So you can definitely call yourself plural if you want, as you are! If you find out later that you’re not actually plural after all… no harm done! It’s okay to question, and it’s okay to be wrong, too :33

Um, one last thing we’ll include here, is a post we wrote on establishing contact with headmates. If you’re questioning whether or not the voices you hear in your mind are other system members, this post might help y’all begin to make connections!

Gosh, we hope that this response here will be useful for you in some way! No matter what you end up deciding or discovering about yourself, we’re wishing you the best of luck with everything!! :3

IMPORTANT BLOG INFO (might add more but this is the basics):

NO MINORS!! BE 18 OR OLDER TO FOLLOW OR INTERACT!!!

WARNING: This blog contains content that may be potentially upsetting to some folks, including but not limited to: original and reblogged forcefem fantasies, and reblogs of related consensual kinks like misgendering and detransition kink for me and people similar to me (I'm transmasc). If this content upsets you, please block me or don't interact. Your mental wellbeing is important.

IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY TRANSPHOBIC OR LEGITIMATELY BELIEVE IN BIOESSENTIALISM, FUCK OFF. MY BLOG IS NOT FOR YOU. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT REAL-LIFE DETRANSITION FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT THAT, I ALSO DON'T WANT YOU HERE. GENDER LIBERATION MEANS THE FREEDOM TO TRANSITION AND DETRANSITION.

If you want to DM me, don't open with kinky sexting. Discussing boundaries first is important to me to make sure everyone has a good time. Outside of forcefem kink you can call me Bentley (they/he pronouns), and in forcefem kink you can call me Nicole (she/her pronouns).

What I'm into and limits under the cut (will probably add more as I think of them).

I'M INTO:

-forcefem/feminization (especially with dykes and other queer women, also open to exploring it with queer men and other nonbinary folks, so feel free to message me about this if you are an LGBTQ+ person!)

-BDSM (I'm a switch, everything I'm into receiving I also enjoy giving), including: Mommy Dommes, heavy impact play, bondage/shibari, electro-stim, mild degradation (I like the condescendingly affectionate variety)

-praise that is mildly condescending (like "good girl")

-having my anatomy referred to with terms like pussy, cunt, clit and being reminded of this anatomy with frequent references, as well as feminine adjectives like cute, girly, etc. Alternatively, I like getting teased for having a tiny (t)dick, especially if any queer people with bigger dicks wanna tease how much smaller I am in comparison...

-terms like cuntboy, slut, fucktoy, dyke, fag/faggot

SOFT LIMITS OR HIGHLY CIRCUMSTANTIAL KINKS:

-misgendering/detrans for transfems (unless a specific transfem has directly communicated desire for that, in which case I could be open to it)

-calling me a fakeboy (I like being called a girl in sexy contexts, but I don’t typically enjoy being told I'm not a boy, though I think I could be into a t4t flavor where a trans man/transmasc calls me that to emphasize my relative femininity/affirm his identity by contrast)

-overt bioessentialism/transphobia as a broad philosophy (it doesn't always hit right for me even in the pretend/kink context)

-lactation (I'm super into the thought of drinking breast milk from someone lactating but it's more rare for me to be into the idea of me lactating)

-breeding/pregnancy, petplay, fauxcest, CNC, intox, piss (very circumstantial and requires a lot of communication first about specific limits here)

HARD LIMITS:

-scat/vomit mentions

-Calling me a cow/hucow/calling my chest "udders"

-Using it/its pronouns for me

-telling me to stop taking HRT (I don't have ovaries, I will always need HRT, in my forcefem context that means I would *start taking E instead*)

-raceplay

-ageplay

-calling someone/being called daddy or any variation of paternal titles

-being called Princess in any way (although I'm fine with calling other people that)

-this should go without saying but things that are both illegal and unethical like: anything involving minors or real beastiality (I will report this content if I see it), or real incest between actual family members regardless of genetic relation (including step- or adopted relatives)

OH ask game! hm.. jade or terezi >:}

doing both again bc i like themmmm

jade -

first impression: she's very cute!!! omg she has Omens... that's so cool. and her memory bands are cool and hehe i have memory issues and sleep a lot isn't that fun

impression now: [dark scribble emotion] uhm she's fun to draw ^-^. sigh. hanging my head in shame wearing a sign on my neck that says witch of space. she gets it. girl we're going to get you some ability to reach out to your friends. we are also going to go apeshit together.

favorite moment: oh hmmmmm.... i like when she does cool space power things. i also like when she yells herself that scene was big for the me community

idea for a story: got a big abstract tangle of what could eventually become an arajade story. spoilers for the question after the next one i guess.

unpopular opinion: at some point i found out that some people (hussie included) don't like her and that does make me want to start ripping throats out with my teeth

favorite relationship: huge fan of her and aradia dating. does this have a canon basis. no. why should that matter. they'd be good together. it's got all the space/time compatibility and shit that davejade had without uhm. being davejade <3 which is bad fucking hell he's like really mean to her? like he's Really mean to her also i think she's a lesbian

favorite headcanon: her transautism swag... i think i've said some variant of "i think they're trans" for literally every one of these i've done lmao. i go back and forth on if i see her as transfem or not but she's def nonbinary in the like. i'm too autistic to understand what the fuck gender seems to mean to everyone else

terezi -

first impression: for a while when i saw pictures of her i thought she was vriska bc i didn't know that much about homestuck. the textposts in my friend's thread that were attributed to her were rlly funny. i think in my livetweet thread i said "omg terezi of being mentioned in karkalicious fame"

impression now: screaming crying throwing up thinking about act 6 terezi. good g-d. THE TWO THINGS MOST IMPORTANT TO HER ARE WHAT SHE BELIEVES TO BE JUSTICE AND HER LOVE FOR VRISKA. AND THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THESE TWO THINGS IS WHAT MOTIVATES NEARLY EVERY ACTION SHE TAKES.A

favorite moment

idea for a story: the expansive humanstuck au i have in my brain that started as "i think they should play hockey" and just spiraled out of control.... most of what i've technically written is davekat centric but most of the time spent thinking about it in the last 6 months has been about the vrisrezi of it all

unpopular opinion: i don't think her relationship with karkat works/ed the way people seem to think it did

favorite relationship: vrisrezi baby that shit powers the entirety of the plot if you don't like them you don't like homestuck cause they Are the narrative

favorite headcanon: one of the most he/xe/it/any characters i've ever seen good g-d. i sometimes genuinely feel weird using she/her (same deal w nepeta --> they/mew/she)

#asks #hiiiii!!! this was so fun they're 2 of my fav characters :D #terezi #jade

Noticed you have a post about K8 that's mainly homestuck discourse focused so uhhh here's a whole ass Google Doc. on some of the bad shit she's done publically that isn't directly Homestuck-related. Might be useful if you wanna link or add it to the og post but idk (docs. google. com/ document/d/ 1nA1Wlf_5PiNrsyIgtJ370xF8cmlrvLwQ1IOu2VdWIqE)

This is brilliant - thank you so much!!

For those of you who want to read this - which I seriously encourage you to do - here is the non-chopped up link: docs.google.com/document/d/1nA1Wlf_5PiNrsyIgtJ370xF8cmlrvLwQ1IOu2VdWIqE.

This link also goes into detail about each point, which is why I recommend the read. However, for those of you who would rather just know the main points:

- Points out that Kate was extremely upset/defensive over people wanting the official Homestuck Twitter to publically support/boost BLM, going on a complete cursefest at someone who is supposedly a minor

- Frequently talks about how she’s going out to protest as if this somehow gives her brownie points, while also utterly dismissing anyone who isn’t protesting (but may still be donating/boosting information). Very set idea of what “Real Activism” is on a race issue is despite being white.

- Has been racist to POC in the past and frequently talks over them, then relies on her transness to somehow slip her out of hot water (often by citing transmisogyny as the reason to why she’s being attacked). Includes additional sources from BIPOC fans on how she’s racist.

- Focuses significantly more on herself and revolutionarism in BLM than actual black people, going so far as to comment that “neurotypicals... can’t even participate in the main battlefields of this revolution”, despite it actively being a race-related issue and therefore perfectly acceptable for neurotypicals to get involved (especially, unsurprisingly, neurotypical POC).

- Goes into more detail about the frequent misgendering of Charlotte Clymer, and how Kate sees her as a CIA conspiracy where Charlotte is actually a cis woman, for some reason.

- Controversy surrounding Kate’s role as the Wasington D.C. Overwatch League manager, scamming players and providing jobs that straight up did not exist.

- More evidence on the supposed “doxxing” of Kate, where it turns out that she’s willingly provided literally all of her information - including where she lives, her phone number, and her email - because she ran for both WA delegate and a Commissioner position, both of which are public offices. In other words, it quite literally is not doxxing because it’s information she willingly provided while running as a public figure. (Though I will again state that you should never do anything harmful with information that public figures provide, no matter how shitty they are.)

She has no right to claim that it’s HS fans comitting illegal activities. It’s quite literally not.

- Has associated anti ideology with TERFs (which, if you don’t know what antis are; they’re typically people against pedophilia and incest in ficiton. She quite literally claims that people who are against pedophilia and incest are “indistinguishable” from Trans Exclusatory Radical Feminists).

- Has actively preyed upon an underaged nonbinary person with the claim that she was helping them escape from an abusive family during her time in the SCP fandom

- Goes into more detail about her posting nudes on her Twitter account, which is open to minors, without any vetting process to ensure that minors could not access the content, with the addition that her Twitter isn’t at all catalogued as a NSFW or 18+ account, meaning that minors had no prior warning to this drop

- Additionally shows that a minor DID buy her nudes, which is part of the fucking problem

- Harrassed fans who expressed discomfort towards the publishing of her nudes on a public, non-18+ locked account - of which both adult and underaged fans had issues

- Has allegedly been involved with/supported known abusers (of which crimes also include sexual assault, attempter murder, slander, and gaslighting), all of whom seem to be transfem (which, remember that I said Kate defending Vriska as non-abusive because she’s transfem is really fucking bad, and how that reflects into her real-world beliefs? Yeah. Kate either seems to think that transwomen are incapable of being abusive, or quite literally does not care what crimes a transwoman committs)

- Provides evidence that Kate frequently deletes social media accounts and changes URLs to avoid lashback to the shitty things she does, and especially when she’s moving into a new fandom (supposedly, I would think, to ensure that nobody knows that she’s the same person so she isn’t immedaitely called out on her shit).

I think it’s fairly safe to say, at this point, that Kate is a toxic person to have in any fandom. Not just in regards to what she’s done specifically to Homestuck, but her personal views, her actions, and the things she’s done in previous fandoms that she continues to repeat. Why she’s still being given a platform at this point, I’ll never fucking know - but unless she changes, and changes soon, there’s no reason that she should have any role in any fandom that gives her a voice and authority.

articulated in relation to this post by @themadcapmathematician

I genuinely think that rejection of nb/gq people (i’m just going to use nb from now on) is inherent to wlw and mlm spaces. it’s predicated in the relationship of wlw and mlm towards GNC men and women, which is mostly that being GNC is fine so long as you’re still a binary gender at the end of the day.

I’ve seen wlw spaces work to accommodate trans women but refuse to extend that safety towards nonbinary transfems.

it’s hard for me to articulate the anxiety that i feel about these spaces as an nb bisexual, when it seems like so many lesbians i see these days on this website are also nb. it feels like you’re allowed to be an nb lesbian in a wlw space, but you can’t be an nb bisexual in a wlw space - you’re considered other when you’re both nb and bisexual/asexual. the only difference between me and an nb lesbian is that i am multi-gender attracted (many lesbians do not consider themselves to by mspec even if they’re nb and/or dating nb lesbians) and they’re not. i can only surmise that the category of lesbian is more internally cohesive and tightly-knit than the categories of woman and nonbinary, which leaves people like me, who are neither woman nor lesbian, out in the cold.

it’s also difficult to talk about this because many lesbians on this website are closed off to dialogue, or to people asking about their identities. i don’t think lesbian identities should be called into question, but i would like to know more about them and how they’re structured. i think many lesbians interpret people asking about their identity as people calling their identity into question, and of course that is in part due to the incredibly toxic nature of dialogue on this site. when i try to learn about it without asking, i have to wade through an ocean of biphobia, aphobia, queerphobia, and sex negativity. since i can’t do that as much as i need to in order to actually learn something, i’m forced to theorise in the dark.

saying that wlw spaces are full of lesbians is a neutral statement of fact, and also, like i said above, the category of ‘lesbian’ supersedes the category of ‘woman’ and ‘nonbinary’ in order to include people from both groups. but because they’re defining themselves as lesbians first and women/nb second, there’s no space left for nonbinaries and women who aren’t lesbian. this renders wlw spaces increasingly toxic to us until we cave and leave, reinforcing the idea that these were lesbian spaces all along and we were either fakers or interlopers.

[that’s not even getting into the toxic biphobia in claiming that mspec and aspec women can’t have as complex a relationship to their gender as lesbians can - as though being a lesbian makes you more of a person, or being bi/ace makes you less of one. it’s saying that bi & ace women face less bullshit from society than lesbians do, which is.........blatantly untrue.]

I’m talking about wlw spaces because those are the ones I have experience with - I cannot speak with any authority about mlm spaces. I cannot speak to how they account for trans, nb and bisexual men.

but I can only imagine it’s more of the same. which is why i strongly believe that we need a unified and cohesive bisexual, asexual, and nonbinary community that caters to our needs without us having to center monosexual / cis people in the process. i don’t think the wlw and mlm communities are above salvation, but i do think that the job of ‘saving’ them is going to go to trans, nb, aspec, and mspec people, and we need to have community support of our own before we can tackle that problem

(I am happy to have open conversations and learn from other people's perspectives so everything I say is meant to have a friendly tone, so I'm sorry if I sound mean, I struggle with tone a lot! The original post is not elaborated on in my point at all because it was more of a vent post as an intersex person rather than a coherent opinion. I am probably going to repeat my points multiple times, sorry about that too!)

Okay, based on my understanding is you're saying that YES, we need new terms and as a whole new understanding on how intersex affects queer identities & TME and TMA can still be useful to describe how transmisogyny affects people, BUT those same terms become muddled in the case of intersex people.

In which case I completely agree!

My issue is that there is a large trend of people using TME and TMA to basically make people into a binary by their sex and I have yet to seen it be used in a way that doesn't exclude people who are diverse in their sex. I have seen people say you need to list if you're TME or TMA, which can be harmful to intersex people because many of us don't fit into any easy binary categories of any concepts that revolve around sex and/or gender.

It is also important to consider that transmisogyny can affect pretty much anyone since it is the intersection of transphobia and misogyny, so anyone who acts in ways that overlap with both those categories would then be "TMA".

The terms also are popularly used in ways that define transmisogyny in a way that excludes many people from their own experiences of transmisogyny. Intersex people have a unique way of sex and gender experience and those who often use these terms don't account for that and don't even consider us.

The issue I've seen is that I have ONLY seen people use TME to mean "born with a vulva but trans or any form of nonbinary OR a cis woman" and TMA to mean "born with a penis but trans or any form of nonbinary". And I've increasingly seen a trend of transfem separatists who talk about hating TME people while intentionally including other trans people. These views are inherently linked with gender critical ideology and very quickly leads down a path to radical feminism.

This distinction and usage of the term (where it boils down to what genitalia you were born with) inherently excludes intersex people and forces us to be binary in our sex, which isn't possible.

I think it would be useful if, instead of categorizing people consistently as TME or TMA, people could express their issues with transmisogyny as a whole without excluding people who have experienced transmisogyny differently than them. I also think people should be allowed to determine on their own if they feel they are impacted by transmisogyny.

TLDR; I agree with you! The terms however are being used (in mainstream) to mean "born with a penis and trans or any form of nonbinary" and "born with a vulva and trans or any form of nonbinary OR a cis woman" which excludes intersex people. Or, they are used to essentially mean "AFAB" or "AMAB" or transmasc and transfem (none of which are inherently mutually exclusive to experiencing transmisogyny) I am against those usages and effects of the terms.

I am trying to say "the current popular usage of these terms is intersexist". I think they could be useful if people didn't try to define if you experience transmisogyny based on your genitalia and then gender identity alone and if people didn't use them to mean born with penis vs born with vulva

In my original post I meant:

the way these terms are currently being used is very harmful to intersex people

I have never seen intersex people use these terms and ONLY seen perisex people use them to mean "born with vulva and trans/any form of nonbinary OR a cis woman" and "born with penis and trans/any form of nonbinary".

transmisogyny is not a fine line that can easily be defined and thus it cannot easily be applied to people just based on what sex they were born as and these terms often force people to define experiences they aren't sure on

we need to consider and include intersex people in any and all terms rather than forget them

I'm pretty sure we completely agree it's just a matter of I did not expand on or explain my point whatsoever since it was a personal vent post lol. I don't identify as transfem but I consider myself affected by transmisogyny. I have a few other issues with it such as it lumping transmascs and trans men with cis women and forcing nonbinary people, especially more neutral ones, to identify with being female or a woman to an extent in order to explain their experience of transmisogyny but that is a separate issue with the terms and not related as much to intersexism.

Using TMA feels weird for me because everyone I've seen use it equates it to being transfem and I'm not. I have seen people say you need to list if you are TME or not (which I don't think you need to list personal info but that's another thing) and as an intersex person I literally cannot give an answer that will satisfy everyone or make me comfortable because of how these terms are used and the fact I'm intersex, not transfem and also not exclusively born with a penis and identifies in a way affected by both transphobia, but affected by transmisogyny.

Thank you so much for sharing your opinion and perspective, you got out a lot of what I was trying to say into words.

Sooo are some of you perisex people ready to acknowledge how harmful TME/TMA is to intersex people or are we not there yet?

chocobox 2020 letter under the cut, because i do things and participate in things now i think.

dear chocolatier: thanks for writing for me! my actual requests were sparse because they were. quite long. especially the pyre one, because it turns out i have a lot of thoughts about minor/historical background characters as seen in the book of rites. so my prompts are all here, along with the dnws just repeated for good measure. thanks for reading all of this, i hope you can find something to have fun with.

pyre -

oops!! all golathanian! i was just really drawn to him reading the book of rites; there's something about an ordinary (certainly flawed) human man making the choices that brought every event in the game to pass and turned him into a godlike eldritch basketball saint. also, 'you gave your freedom that i might yet have mine' is a line i've been thinking about for an entire year. also, the g in lgbt is for golathanian. i'm really into the idea that the man the commonwealth could lionize as the ideal of strength is admirable not as a conqueror or warlord, but as someone with commitments to others that make him overcome his flaws-- someone who does the cooking for the group and makes dry comments and lectures out of worry and has a stupid laugh and acts like a grouch when he is secretly a giant softy. (and someone who is visibly gay and gnc, because the base of my mazlow hierarchy of needs is gay/bi men presented as admirable figures of authority, and i think that's something that should have been in the game, even if the commonwealth in-universe was going to erase it.) the heart and idealism and earnestness is what makes him worthy of respect, and that he's human, even if technically he ends up as a demigod sports-omen star.

i'm firmly in favor of autistic scribes (solidarity with chae) and scribes as large-r Readers. aside from soliam and khaylmer who both have cis energy i'm very up for any of the requested characters as trans or nonbinary, and near and dear to my heart especially are transfem chae and triesta and a nonbinary/my-gender-is-just-gay gol. explicit lgbt identities in general are a plus. environmental details-- i adore the richness and mystery and wonder of the downside, but i'd also kill for some sahrian imperial court ambiance. adventure is good, character study is always good, shenanigans and mischievous escapades between friends, misunderstandings that work out or not, angst with comfort is fine, moral or philosophical dilemmas or conversations (perfect for this group). it'd be nice to see something about titans, about (r/R)eading, the downside as an eldritch landscape, the simultaneous decay and might of imperial sahr, about turning into celestial bodies, a good old fashioned slow burn/mutual pining.

ha'ub & gol - i've always imagined these two are best friends - the first two scribes, 2/3 of the og triumvirate, and both dealing with the fact that 'mercy' means they have to keep soliam murr's fool ass alive. ha'ub is a chaotic little bumpkin who's never belonged anywhere, gol is an increasingly long-suffering visitor to purgatory dimension-- i feel like for all that he knows more about survival here than his new Big Friends, ha'ub feels just as indebted to them for being able to relate to him. it can't be easy being the first imp with human-like intelligence, or at least surely the only imp you know. misunderstandings between different species, teaching each other about sahrian human and downside imp customs, teaming up against howlers (did the howler/imp distinction exist yet, if all imps were wild and drive imps didn't exist??), learning to communicate with someone whose speech and language are very different. gol standing up for ha'ub in the 'why does an imp get a triumvirate' debate. why is ha'ub accursed? too, if there's gol/soliam, there's an opportunity for 'just kiss him already', or whatever misunderstandings imps have about human relationships/will-they-or-won't-they tensions.

gol & chae - please call the vagabond girl chae! i loved her basically at the moment i saw her and her arc means a lot to me. she’s autistic coded but her belief in the scribes-- in actually hearing and speaking to the scribes-- is never undercut by the narrative. and she’s immensely strong! she’s survived in the downside by herself from 17-19! and imo at least the scribe known for being strong and resilient and untiring, not to mention idealistic and loyal, would admire the absolute fuck out of her. i’d like her childhood as moontouched/homeless and displaced, her topside ending as a religious leader and inspiration in the sahrian union, wandering alone in the downside, her role with the nightwings-- i just really want to see what conversations these two would get up to, i want them to learn from each other, i want chae to have support and encouragement and comfort from everyone’s favorite nomad scribe. what does she ask him? what does he tell her? passing messages from ti’zo or the heralds? looking for advice/help on behalf of the nightwings, or just comfort when she’s feeling out of place? god, the fact that she’s in the companion class that parallels khaylmer-- do they talk about that, or how does gol feel? there are so many damn good interactions here. please don’t infantilize her or portray her beliefs and reactions as nonsensical or weird.

gol/soliam - i have so many thoughts about these two that i almost don’t want to say everything. my sense is they didn’t get together until the downside, with a very long enemies > grudging allies > friends > lovers, at least on gol’s end. you don’t jump over the edge of the world to kill someone and immediately kiss and make up. topside before he gets disillusioned there’s potential for that good courtly love - gol pining hopelessly (and perhaps obliviously, depending on how soliam acts towards him) for his beautiful distant liege, sol who so very clearly did not feel anything genuine for anyone as emperor, but who maybe has some ‘oooh, master-general ;)’ poking out of the hedonism-flavored depression. and then he falls down the river and realizes he was a big idiot. i could do very early sweet moments, courtly aesthetic and accidental intimacy, seeing a tender side to the emperor that most people never get close enough for/soliam murr Almost having a real feeling other than physical attraction. i could also do rebuilding their trust and rapport in the downside, mutual pining, growing closer despite everything and wondering privately if they couldn’t actually work out. or established relationship tenderness and fluff. i could also very much do explicit content with these two.

gol & khaylmer - ahh, yes. enemies. i got the impression from gol’s account (and gol’s account is really all we get) that these two hated each other, to ‘put his picture on the bull’s eye of the dartboard’ levels of hatred-- but also, maybe, that they had more in common than they wanted. gol and khaylmer as the only two grownups in a decadence-obsessed imperial court? certainly as the closest advisers to the emperor, whatever that means when your emperor is soliam murr. i always got the impression that gol was a bit more of a bastard than he let on-- nomad masteries are very ‘now i’ve thrown him off his rhythm!’ and you can’t tell me ‘preferred to fall on his enemies by surprise under the cover of darkness’ Isn’t the trait of a highly slippery character. then again, their worldviews and beliefs might as well be from two different planets, but then again again, do we really get an unbiased opinion on khaylmer to know what his worldviews really is? two driven and idiosyncratic people, more similar than they think, who just deeply hate and misunderstand each other at a fundamental level. also, please a deep dive into khaylmer’s head. lot of opportunity for backroom dealing and court drama here.

scribes & scribes - scribe adventures! or scribe shenanigans and arguments! i see these eight as having strong and contrasting personalities, but fundamentally caring about each other, even if they can get into real drama and conflict. fighting titans, exploring together, writing the book of rites, becoming eldritch basketball gods. found family is great, early stages of found family that grouchily insist they're business associates is better. there is so much you could do with these losers as a collective and i love them with my entire heart.

dnw: fantasy homophobia or transphobia, dubcon/noncon including under the influence, hand/eye trauma, unsanitary things, angst without a positive/hopeful resolution. in terms of explicit content, please no humiliation or impact play/physical pain. fandom specific: don't undercut chae's feelings or beliefs or write her in an ableist way. i also see gol and soliam as gay, and milithe and triesta as lesbians, so i'd prefer no references to past/current m/w relationships for them-- not because having m/w history invalidates gay peoples' identities, but because for me personally that'd be a horrible experience and it makes me sad thinking about my favorite characters going through that.

hades -

i did not expect to like a large soft-spoken honor-bound minotaur who duels you in honorable combat as much as i did, but probably should have knowing basic facts about myself. anything asterius-focused is great-- i really want to see him well-received in elysium and with a partner who cares about him......! he deserves nice things! elysium as a setting is so lush, environmental details, moments of respite, greenery, the river lethe, the elysian stadium, the beauty of eternal paradise And the fact that the people who live here decide to just beat the tar out of each other for fun.

this game has a really strong cast, and i'd love to see mentioned or featured olympians/house denizens/run npcs other than the requested characters. patroclus is a strong possibility for a fic in elysium, but achilles, hypnos, hermes/artemis/athena, and eurydice are also favorites of mine. i'm always down for explicit gay/bi identities, and i've been toying with trans masc zag and/or nonbinary aster.

Asterius/Zag - the inherent romantic tension of having a standing date to fight someone in hand to hand combat. but also, meeting outside of the arena in some way - a peaceful moment in a fountain chamber? maybe aster helps zag in a tough spot with some exalted? they both meet up in patroclus's chamber? i like how aster respects you for your strength and ability and the comparison he draws between them both as having been born monstrous/in darkness could use some (gentle) exploration. both of them uncovering hidden depths or softness in each other.

Asterius/Theseus/Zag - the inherent romantic tension of having a standing date to fight two people in hand to hand combat. i very much see this as an aster-centric v-- i don't really buy these or zag being into each other on their own, but learning to get along for the sake of their mutual boyfriend is good, and the comedy that ensues. anything i like in aster/zag or aster/these would be good here. absolutely not opposed to an aster-centered threesome (he deserves it).

Asterius/Theseus - how did these persuade hades to move the bull of minos to elysium? how did they become champions in the stadium? fighting by each others' sides, aster discovering after a mortal lifetime confined to a labyrinth that he's into men, these feeling weirdly compelled to show off or impress him. theseus training him in 'heroic ways'. theseus's lines about ariadne felt needlessly gross/borderline misogynistic and i'd like for them either to not come up Or for aster to sit him down and give him a piece of his mind. that's his sister, you idiot.

Cerberus & Zag - just a boy and his dog! cerby comforting a younger zag when hades is on his bullshit, or kid zag sleeping all cuddled up with his pubby. growing up and watching the house change. zag venting to cerberus or asking for advice, like you do with your pets when you don't expect an answer (and maybe getting one??). something in styx would be good, or zag finding any other kind of treat or toy and smuggling it back in from one of his runs.

dnw: fantasy homophobia or transphobia, dubcon/noncon including under the influence, hand/eye trauma, unsanitary things (please light on the descriptions of the satyr sack, lmao), angst without a positive/hopeful resolution. in terms of explicit content, please no humiliation or impact play/physical pain. as far as fandom specific: please nothing that portrays hades as good or justified in any of his actions. nothing zag/meg or zag/than; i really prefer zag and meg to have acknowledged their feelings and decided to stay friends.

arthuriana/let’s be real i’m here for the gawain and the green knight -

......i'm just in this for the inherent homoeroticism. explicitly gay/bi gawain and bi bertilak is great, bertilak and his wife both being in on it is great, threesome? more christmas games? courtly flirting? being cozy inside? going on a dangerous quest? anything sounds great, just have fun with it!

dnw: homophobia including period-typical (just not why i read fanfiction), dubcon/noncon including under the influence, unsanitary things, hand/eye trauma, cheating/negative feelings between the hautdeserts, angst. in terms of explicit content, please no humiliation or impact play/physical pain.
