I am 30% of the way thru the archive undying and what I know to be true is that Jin is hot (butterfly knife in boot). I understand that they are possibly being foreshadowed to do great deals of violence to Sunai and Veyadi but I KNOW in my HEART that they're hot (butterfly knife in boot, leans on people) and I simply have to live that truth!
#the archive undying#everything is going to be fine i am sure#odds of me using the term foreshadowed correctly here is 70/30 i think

there was this 12 year old kid in my cabin at camp, and she had a twin sister. her and her sister were both very alike and very different. we were getting ready for the first camp dance and i was going to wear a tie, her sister was in a dress and she had on pants and a button up white shirt. i made a joke about us and another kid matching with our 3 button downs and her sister said ‘yeah [name] really hates dresses’ to which the kid responded ‘they just feel wrong i hate them.’ i agreed and so did the other kid.
i was finishing getting ready and i watched her stare at my tie while i was putting it on, just fully, big eyes, staring at this tie. so i asked if she’d like me to put it on her for a minute because why not? it’s camp, new experiences are important and it’s good to try things you haven’t before. my job is to help with that.
she nodded. i tied it and she looked in the mirror before breaking out into the largest smile i’d ever seen from this kid (and she smiled a lot). she said, ‘it feels so good! it just feels right.’ and so i smiled and said ‘i know, it’s a good feeling.’
she ended up wearing that tie all night and sent her mom a letter the next day asking to get some when she went back home.
this made me so happy i really wanted to share it
#i’ll never forget about this kid#she would ask me questions about my style and outfits all the time#like where i got this shirt or these pants#and she was just so sweet and funny#and i am like 75% sure she fully had a ring of keys moment with that tie#(i hope im using that term correctly!!)#lesbian#butch#butch lesbian#baby butch#sleepaway camp#summer camp#camp#camp counselor#ring of keys

It's kind of funny that I still sometimes doubt myself about reading ASIT through the lens of a mixed race interpretation... but I look on TVTropes for an unrelated reason and it lists "Double Conciousness" as a theme in the book, explicitly with the quote being related to the Cardassian/Hebitian theme
#cipher talk#the conclusion i am increasingly drawing is i am reading the book correctly#and for some reason this just. flew over other people's heads#and JSYK: Double Conciousness is a term specifically created to describe an element of the Black American experience#but has been used in other colonial and post colonial thought

I can confidently assert that i can feel a strong difference between gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia/discomfort with beauty standards.
Because i recently had top surgery, and it had numerous very impactful positive effects on myself. One of those being that i feel the wish and comfort to show off my torso. My torso, that i am told by various people around me has a belly, and which is not particularly muscular and has bad posture. I however don't think having a belly is a cardinal sin or unattractive so i don't give a flying fuck, and feel super confident and happy in my body. Since i got top surgery. Because i was wildly miserably uncomfortable with it, including my belly and everything, before that.
So the common transphobe talking point and focus of "you don't have gender dysphoria, you just struggle with beauty standards and accepting your body" is blatantly eclatantly wrong for me.
Because i did so much work accepting my body and ridding my mind of beauty standards, but it did fuck all for gender dysphoria about my chest. Frankly my biggest dysphoria, alongside the effects of t (or rather their lack of). And now i am free of it, and the positive impact of that on my dysphoria, my mental health, my self image, my cptsd, my confidence, my depression/mood, my identity security, and sense of belonging in and security in and and being connected with my body, cannot be overstated, because it's been massive.
#own post#trans#gender euphoria#beauty standards#body dysmorphia#i am reasonably sure i am using the term body dysmorphia correctly but if I don't do tell me#trans man#top surgery

shipping can coexist with character analysis up until shippers start misusing literary terms to explain why their ship is better
#rarely do i run into fandom ppl using the term narrative foils correctly honestly.#like yeah. you COULD find direct opposing traits within these 2 characters if you tried. but that's true about any pair of characters lbr#esp when a story has a strong theme so many of its characters would have key traits related to it in some way.#it's specifically this term being misused that's my pet peeve bc of how common it is to see it. well. misused#and bc i think i have a generallyyyyyy good grasp on it? so it's easy to notice when someone is using it just to sound smart#or bc they don't understand what it is mean bc i swear fandom culture made ppl think it means literally any 2 characters that have matching-#- yet opposing traits. regardless of what their role in the story is or what these traits are and how defining they are#usual disclaimer of 'this doesn't actually matter but i'm bitter so i wanna let it out'#and 'i am a shipper and a fandom person so this isn't coming out of a place of judgment abt that' and 'do whatever you want forever'

Masumi and Natsuki would absolutely be roblox players and Masumi 100% would get mad at literal 8 year olds every play session. Natsuki tells him to chill out but she doesn't GET IT. THEY CALLED HIM CRINGE AND RIZZLESS. HE IS NOT CRINGE AND HE HAS TONS OF RIZZ. HE DRIVES A SPORTS CAR. THEY CAN'T EVEN DRIVE NATSUKIIIIIIII
#ck rambles#gogo sentai boukenger#am i using the term rizz correctly i'm not super sure#god i'm old <- 24 year old

Dolly Navarro is like a sweet daughter to me. I know I’m the Elijah Volkov Kin Guy™️, so me caring about a camper as a child seems kind of weird, but she means a lot to me. Proud girl dad moment (/joking) 🩷
As in, both “a dad of a girl/girls” and “a dad who used to be a girl”. Haha trans joke 🏳️⚧️
#am I using the term ‘girl dad’ correctly???#> hey cecil says a thing! <#camp here and there#Dolly Navarro

y’all learned the term “media literacy” and have not shut the fuck up since
#rant below#but omg#It’s such an important term and topic of discussion and also a genuine concern within our society YES.#but some people are using it in such a pseudo intellectual pretentious way that they’re not even using it correctly anymore#they just wanna act like they’re intellectually superior to others when they’re really just putting down different interpretations and#mindlessly defending their fav media without actually being willing to hear the other out#Like just because I have a different interpretation to you or like or dislike something that doesn’t mean I’m illiterate. What#“Hey I actually think th” “ERMMM WELL MAYBE YOUR MEDIA LITCHRUSSY-🤓🤓🤓🤓” THIS IS HOW YOU SOUND😭#Media literacy is not about what to interpret in a work#And if you’re using the “bad media literacy” argument to slam down well thought out interpretations that just happen to be different#then I think that only goes how ironically enough YOU lack media literacy for not understanding and/or missing the point of the discussion#don’t get me wrong bad media literacy definitely does exist and is a problem#like I’ve genuinely heard some ASS takes that are clearly due to bad media literacy#but they’re not the source of every bad take. God#hell it’s not even just bad takes that get slammed with this label like I said it’s just a difference in opinions#like just because I don’t like your fav it doesn’t mean I don’t understand them or am mischaracterising them??#that also leads into the issue of people defending their favs no matter what and having a weird sense of loyalty to them even if there is#valid crit against them#but that’s a whole can of worms I don’t wanna get into rn#anyways#my post#yapping#yapping in tags#TLDR a genuinely important discussion and term is being turned into a pseudo intellectual buzzword. Nothing new on the internet tho

Hiiiiiiiii ^___^ Since ur a tyler has autism truther,.do u have any hcs surrounding that idea? If not u can ignore this 💀 but god I just want to talk to someone about it..
I won’t write a LOT about it right now but all I’ll say is if the narrator had a difficult time finding out he had it….it’s worse for Tyler. Well maybe. Either he got diagnosed as a kid (along with other stuff) or he’s just living up till the age he is now, not knowing or thinking he can even have it.. which I’m sure is not good that he doesn’t know why he is the way he is sometimes. I dunno <_>
hiii!! i’m sorry it has taken me so long to get to this, but i have been pondering this ask for a few days lmao. tbh i don’t have a lot of hcs surrounding tyler having autism (but i would love to hear yours!!). i also have been doing a bit of research to try and find the right terms to vocalise the ones i do have, but if i get things wrong let me know!! (tw: mention of sh)
the couple that i have is personally i don’t think tyler knows that he has it, i also don’t think he knows much about autism and therefore hasn’t identified any traits he has etc. he just knows that he struggles internally sometimes and he doesn’t know why.
tyler doesn’t have many sensory issues i wouldn’t think (looking at the state of the paper street house and the different clothing materials that he always wears). and the ones he does have manifest in hyposensitivity in touch, for example he can feel really under-stimulated in lighter situations this can be him needing to seek different textures and things but this could also be another reason he starts fights and maybe puts cigarettes out on himself.
hyposensitivity also manifests in taste for him, such as seeking out spicy foods and strong flavours. say if he was ordering pizza, i think he would get a concoction of every ingredient on the menu on one pizza (the narrator would be truly horrified at this btw).
i feel like tyler would become really hyperfixated on certain topics and go on rants. like in the film when he is ranting about capitalism and consumerism. he would want to soak up all knowlage about topics that interest him, when he was a a teenager or even as he got older he would spend hours at the library or reading books he picked up at the thrift store, just researching one topic.
also i headcannon that tyler has a random comfort item (i know this is really ooc because of his whole material possessions beliefs but hear me out) something like a really ratty old blanket. and eventually the narrator is like “um tyler can you throw that thing away, it’s gross, we’ll find you a new one” and tyler is just like “i’d like to keep it 😐….it still works”
buts that’s all i can really think of rn :)) as i said if you have any hc’s please share them because i am very curious and would love to talk about it!!!
#ty for the ask!#i’m so sorry it took me a bit to get to it 😭#as i said idk how accurate these are or if i am using terms correctly#i have just kind of taken research that i am doing into autism for myself and kind of applied it to tyler 💀#so feel free to correct me#tyler durden

the problem with having been active on the internet for over a decade and active on social media for just about as long is that sometimes i really realllly want to like. engage in healthy/casual debate about topics that i see being talked about but. i know it won't go that way. i know that if i engage in the way that i would like to (not just directly agreeing with what's being said) i'm going to immediately telegraph myself as some sort of chud trying to pick fights online over pedantic shit which in turn will immediately put people on the defensive. i've seen this play out. i know how this will end.
#teeth.txt#especially if there's some sort of character limit or something or if i'm trying to be brief lol#this was sparked by seeing a comment#on a video that was like 'FINALLY someone is using the 5 stages of grief model correctly‚ originally it was#used to describe one's own death‚ not the grieving process'#and i realllllllly wanted to be like 'oh it's interesting that you posit the idea that it's incorrect to use it to describe grieving#when the woman who came up with the concept was basing it on her interactions with terminally ill patients coming to terms with dying#which to me seems like a grief process in and of itself#and also i don't think it's necessarily useful to posit things in terms of correctness when it's simply that the 'five stages of (whatever#it was originally called)' were then also used to describe what other researchers(? or just people) deemed to be a similar experience'#but i don't think any of that would have gone over well.#it's hard because i genuinely do think it's interesting. like i wanna explore why this person is approaching it in a different way than i am#but i Will just sound like someone being like Um Actually I Know More Than You You Dumb Idiot
