[iustuspeccator]

I love trans Jesus as much (or more) than the next guy but I really hate the chromosomal argument for it. the logic simply does not hold up. God can create out of nothing. God could create a child with XY chromosomes with no father. We know extremely little about the particular physical body of Jesus of Nazareth except that he had one, it was wounded, and it was raised.

So my best arguments are:

The Logos: Jesus Christ is the Logos (Word) of God, the second person of the Trinity. This Logos is associated with Wisdom in Hebrew scriptures, which is grammatically female and personified as a woman. When this Wisdom/Logos/Word is incarnated on earth, it is as a man. Trans Word of God.

The Body of Christ: Believers are the Body of Christ and Jesus is incarnate in us. Trans believers are in the Body of Christ, the Body of Christ is trans, Christ is trans. (And not-trans.)

And the biggest one: God becoming incarnate, going from infinite to finite, is trans. It's a literal transition and a transgression of boundaries. At the end of the day, transness is the name we've given to the experience of transgressing gendered boundaries. In the eternal mystery of the incarnation, all human boundaries-- of geography, of religion, of ethnicity, of class, of gender-- are transgressed and transformed. More than being literally trans in the 20th-21st century, God enters into all of our boundary crossings, in every time and place.

lowkey scared to rewrite my serpentine cuz like. idek whats in there

[homokommari]

it is kinda funny how me drawing superbat fat n trans makes people stop and wonder why they are "different from canon" when my guy u were already looking for superman and batman sucking face, which is also not canon. it shouldnt surprise you too much that i'd do a twist on something more than just their sexualities.

rewatching mindhunter and man this show is so good but what really gets me is 1x10 when holden is questioning devier and picks up a southern drawl in the process

The whole idea of Nezumi making scarcity work reminds me of those tiny houses or tiny cars but if you were on it or going into it, it becomes really big of a space. I guess in a way that’s also the ‘theatrical’ or ‘dramatic’ image in him because this is creativity itself in ‘out of proportion’

Platonic Strawhats x Reader

The strawhats care for you after you get hurt in battle

•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•

You're sweating like a dog but you're cold to the touch. The taste in your mouth is both earthy and metallic. You watch colours swirl around your blurred vision. Nami calls out your name and then it's quiet.

When you finally open your eyes you're unable to move for a few seconds. Your stiff muscles struggle to pull you up. When you manage to sit, you realise you're alone. You're in your room, on the sunny. The air smells like cooked food so you figure it must be dinner time for your family. You look down at the bandages wrapped around your stomach where an enemy blade had been. You couldn't feel much pain, you couldn't feel much of anything. The bandages were clean, you assume Chopper must have changed them for you.

Your crewmates, your family, are present everywhere in your room. Nami's accessories are all over the place, if you didn't know any better you could easily mistake this for her room. It almost makes you teary to think she'd been staying in here with you for the past three days. The floor next to your bed is worn as if one of them, most likely Usopp, had been pacing back and forth. There's a couple of books stacked on your desk, the combination of non fiction and adventure stories makes you think both Robin and Jinbe have been in here to read to you while you were out. There's an empty teacup sitting on your bedside table, you bet a hundred berries it belongs to Brook. You can't see anything of Franky's lying around but you're sure you can recall his voice murmuring to you. You can tell he's been in the room from the faint metallic smell in the air. Which just leaves Zoro and Luffy. You're caught up in the game you've made up for yourself when you hear a deep cough from the doorway. You turn your head to see Zoro standing there, holding a plate of food.

Your calendar has been updated, the pen is neat and the lines crossing out the days are slightly curved. Robin must've been crossing them out for you. You can see that it's been three days since the battle. There is a fresh glass of water and some fruit on the side table next to your bed. You shakily lift the cup to your lips and you silently thank Sanji as you drink down the glass.

“Luffy, Y/n's awake!” he calls. Seconds later, your captain dives through the threshold of your room, reaching out his arms to you. He wraps you up in a hug and places an affectionate kiss on your cheek. Your captain's boundaryless affection was something that had taken a while to adjust to you. Luffy's deep, unconditional, love was something that you and the rest of your crewmates hold dearly. The realisation that Luffy was worried about you, that they were all worried about you, has tears beginning to spill.

The thought of them all around you, making sure you get better despite knowing your injuries would heal just fine, makes your stomach turn. The queasy feeling is common around here. You've been with the strawhats for years but you can't quite get used to their shameless expressions of love. Luffy tells you to stop crying, that there's no need for tears now that you're ok. Luffy backs off to let Zoro place the plate of food on your lap. He's stern when he tells you to eat but there's a soft air to the way he gently leans against the wall, refusing to leave until he's taken care of you. Zoro takes the protection of the crew very seriously, he most likely blames himself for letting you get so badly hurt. It's best to let him see that you're fine and he has nothing to be guilty about. Zoro isn't a ‘talk it out’ kind of guy, he's a man of action.

When Luffy moves to the end of your bed, Sanji comes rushing in. Usually, Zoro would roll his eyes or make a biting comment at the way Sanji dotes on you but he keeps his mouth shut as Sanji cradles your face in his hands. Sanji tells you he was terrified, that he's sorry he couldn't stop the man that stabbed you and that he hopes his food will help you recover. You eat as Sanji, Zoro and Luffy watch in silence. Nami and Usopp had shown up at some point, exhaling in relief as you seem to be enjoying your food. You had been amongst the first to join the crew and the bond you have is unmatched. It's beyond platonic or romantic. .

“Oh thank god you're ok” cries Nami as you finish your meal “I stayed here with you the last three nights, you were murmuring to yourself and it was making me worried”

“I wasn't worried!” exclaimed Usopp, placing his hands on his hips. “I knew that my words of encouragement would help you wake up” he says, making you laugh.

“You're right, Usopp. Thank you” You say, voice weak from lack of use. “Thank all of you for taking care of me” Your thanks is met by frantic refusals telling you not to thank them because that's what friends do. After eating a meal and crying and seeing the faces of the people you love most, you start to feel drowsy. Sanji is first to notice, quickly pulling the plate from your lap and placing it on the bedside table. “I know I've just slept for three days but I'm exhausted”

Nami tells you to go back to sleep and you listen, lying back down. You drift off comfortably without a care in the world knowing your strawhats will be right there when you wake up again.

My hot take is that the Darkwick mannequin put Ren into Jabberwock not because he secretly loves animals or has great ambition but because when it weighed his soul it saw how high his walls were and immediately knew only the two most boundaryless people on campus would be able to climb over them

[randomluck-ofthe-universe]

".. that love takes on a boundaryless form and that the more organic we can keep love and the more definitionless and away from the western stringent boundaries of classification gay, heterosexual, bisexual that we've been... and we've been living our lives under.

The less we can live under those definitions, the freer we are."

- Rome, January 2018

when you meet something... someone that mark and change your life profoundly.

and you feel that all you needed was just this.

In my mind Syd talking to Pete - the most wholesome-ist Bear Vs Claire talking to Fak - the boundaryless overstepper also related to THEE infamous Fancine Fak; means something!

[pynkhues]

That anon is so fucking creepy and vile. It would be creepy and vile and disgusting no matter what, but to threaten to do that to two CHILDREN and someone facing domestic violence is just evil. Can you block specific anons on tumblr, or report them? Some people are just so pathetic.

Thank you to both of you, genuinely, it means a lot in a situation that now feels like - - y'know, Yeah. A Lot. I do think I was probably a bit naive with this fandom (although I do think it's the biggest one I've ever been in, honestly), but I think the mention of my sister's children is genuinely just so disgraceful and it actually is a criminal threat. So I hope that anon and the apparently boundaryless group of people they engage with realise that (although if they don't by now, hopefully they will at the end of this reply).

I was already getting dinner with my mum tonight before all of this happened, but I texted her on the way to tell her that I had Stuff to talk to her about, and y'know, I'm in my thirties, and me and my mum have always been close, amd she vaguely knows I'm 'in some fandoms', but to tell her about all of this bullshit tonight and have her opinions not just as a mother, and a grandmother to those two little boys, but also as a friend (which I'm very lucky to have her as at our big ages), and as a professional woman with a science, legal, political and journalistic background, was honestly the best possible thing to come back to earth to (so lowkey thanks for that anon, I guess?). She was outraged (and said things I could never type, haha) and funny and considerate (she already knew I wrote fanfic, but her response to me reminding her and showing her my ao3 was 'i love you, and i don't care' lmao) and, perhaps most importantly! Practical!

Which is all to say I've opened a case tonight, at her urging, with the Australian eSafety Commission, which they are taking quite seriously because of the threat of involving minors. But also generally!, So I guess well done on that, to the anon who's sent me those asks, your attempt to shame me for writing about consensual sex is actually now about you threatening a sex crime, because sending anyone porn over the internet without their consent, is, in fact, a sex crime, even before you threaten to involve literal children. I have to give them my tumblr login, but y'know what? That's okay to me, actually, given they can now track your IP Address!

(Sorry to the anons I'm replying to, this is now becoming a direct address of this [+ the friends of this] anon but - - )

I suspect you won't read this rationally, because I don't think you read much that I write rationally, but I do think you should know that you're assaulting people by sending them explicit material out of the blue, which I write, yes, and I'm going to own it if you do send it on, regardless of who you send it to. Again, yes, I'll probably be embarrassed if you share my fic and replies with people in my life, but I'm not going to be ashamed of any of it. I share it with consenting adults, you're saying you'll share it with adults who you dont give the chance to consent, and also literal children (not to harp on the point, but, anon, my nephews are 7 and 8 years old. They are currently navigating their mother's divorce from their abusive father - real people, real children, not made up ones like Louis and Lestat and Claudia - I'd ask you, genuinely, what you felt bringing them into this conversation was supposed to achieve beyond threatening me into silence? Which is - - I hate to say it, anon - - abusive behaviour).

I also do question what it is about writing sex that you find worthy of sending to family members at all? Do you think I should be ashamed of writing smut? Because that's the interpretation I get from your asks, and, again, that says more about you than it does about me. That tells me the reverse would threaten you, if I could send your behaviour or fandom engagement, or fic history to your family, you would feel threatened.

Because, okay, what's the alternative? You threaten to send my fic to my sister, okay, why do you feel that gives you leverage if you don't inherently find it shameful? I'm sharing work in a community of consenting adults, you'd actively choose to take that out of that (and before you argue this point, you are consenting, by clicking on the links of my fics). In fact, you'd choose to bring my family members into that. Why? Me and my sister talk about sex all the time, we're sisters, my fics aren't going to land on her doorstep as the surprise you think they will (but also, again, the implication of you thinking this should take priority over her literal divorce and custody case from her actually abusive husband, driving what? A wedge between us? While purporting to champion a fictional victim of it.....it's pretty transparent at this point, anon, and honestly I'd say ugly too).

Why do you think I should be threatened by her opinion of what I write? Do you think you know my relationship with my sister and brother better than me? You don't know her or him at all (that actually wasn't even his birthday btw), you don't know me, so then it's - once again - about you - and your opinion - of what I write, but is it? Because I'd posit that the degree of shame you try to place on me isn't about what I like, it's about what you like, because okay. My fics feature Louis often topping, occasionally elements of bdsm, which are literally canon at this point, your subset of the fandom has male lactation, mpreg, ABO, heavily fetishised drag, and feminisation up the wazoo, and it's not to my fancy, but I live and let live. Those are though also objectively far nicher kinks / fetishes than what I'm writing, which is two men trying to pretend they're fucking instead of making love, so y'know - - why am I the hang up, anon? If you send people I know to ao3, I'm not going to be the person they judge.

Anyway, look, you should know that my mum has also organised for me to consult with a lawyer specialising in cyber safety and international law in the next few days, and I had also started the (yeah, sure, admittedly awkward) conversation with my main workplace too about you potentially sending posts or fic to them. We've had an actor doxxed already this year, which opened the doors, and I figured, well, gosh, may as well tell them about you guys too. Again - - you might be able to embarrass me, but you can't shame me out of existence, especially when you're apparently literally willing to commit sex crimes over it. You said I was two-faced in those last asks, and y'know, I don't think I am. I think (hope) i'm someone friendly, empathetic and thoughtul, but there absolutely is a resolute, stubborn cunt in me that I inherited from a generation of Australian women, and the number one thing I was raised on by those women was that you don't bend the knee to bad behaviour.

[theglitchywriterboi]

I hate when you're like "Be kind !!!" & some annoying person comes in w/ their sob story like "I WAS kind. I WAS that person who always helped a stranger. Then someone [or some people] took ADVANTAGE of that kkindness. People rarely showed up for me when it mattered. So I stopped being kind." Okay ???

Like that genuinely sucks you didn't have great people in your life/met assholes but the response to that isn't to become unkind.... The response is:

1: More boundaries. You can still be kind & have a backbone. Some of y'all think those two are mutually exclusive but they're not. Like some of y'all are shitting on the concept of kindness just because YOU were a doormat

2: Communicate !!!! It may seem painfully obvious to you, but some people genuinely don't know you want them to show up for you the same way. So you gotta be okay communicating "Hey can you help me w/ XYZ ?" Or "Hey I'd really appreciate-" & even "Hey, I've asked you for help/time on several occasions but you always say no, I really value our relationship & I wanna get your perspective before feeling some type of way because in my position it hurts going the extra mile for people & them not doing the same"

3: Give people grace. Again I'm not saying be a boundaryless doormat, but building community, especially if you're in a highly individualistic society, is gonna take a lot of patience & effort. Some people are gonna have to be reminded more than 5 times that you need them to show up for you the way you show up for them. & I mean explicitly "Hey, I need/want you to show up for me whether it's X or Y or Z, I just need that energy reciprocated" not just [relatively] vague "Hey can you do X for me" I say relatively vague cause if you ask Hey can you help w/ X, people may not know that yes you need help but more so it's a bid for connection.

& I say more than 5 times because again, a lot of people live in an individualistic mindset [especially in the states idk about other countries], & changing your mindset & habits is HARD.

4: Sometimes you gotta ignore yourself. Again this is hard w/ boundaries but it's possible, you just gotta know yourself. Like to show up for your community sometimes you gotta go places when you're SPENT, sometimes you gotta listen to a friend when you're lowkey spiraling too, etc. Again you gotta know yourself, but yeah. Cause for a lot of us, if we only showed up when we had the energy to show up, we'd never show up !!!

5: Also, this isn't exactly like the other things but to build community you A: Gotta be kinda annoying. Like talk your neighbors, get to know them, bring them stuff, ask for help even if y'all aren't close, offer help even if y'all aren't close, etc. AND B: You gotta be in community w/ people you don't FW. This is the hardest part for a lot of people but even if you don't like someone you gotta build community w/ them. Ofc be safe, I mean not LIKE someone, don't build community w/ someone you don't feel safe around.
