[our-transmasculine-experience]

i wanna be a boy.

i wanna be pretty like a boy.

i wanna walk around shirtless like a boy.

i wanna be a boy in love with a boy and to be seen like a boy.

i wanna be a punk boy with his emo bf and be seen as gay, and not straight. like a boy.

i wanna wear platforms and cargo pants and compression shirts like a boy.

i wanna go to the gym and workout in just sweats like a boy.

i wanna sleep in late like a boy.

i wanna draw like a boy.

i wanna be a boy.

i wanna be a boy in the ways that matter

i wanna be a boy because i am a boy, not because i came out as a boy and my pronouns are he/him.

i wanna be a boy because im a boy.

not because im trans.

but maybe thats too much to ask for.

this.

The West Passage

medieval fantasy set in a giant crumbling palace of traditions with forgotten origin, ruled by giant eldritch Ladies

when winter weather comes in the middle of summer, and a beast below the palace begins to rise, two teens from Grey who have suddenly gained a lot of responsibilities set out on separate journeys to the other towers to find a way to stop it, and meet all sorts of strange people and creatures along the way

world where pronouns/names are based on people’s roles

tons of cool medieval-style chapter illustrations by the author

Anyone else just not feeling like a real person much lately?

[radioroxx]

ok hi tumblr. thought. while i understand that technically yes people have all the freedom to assign clover a gender + pronouns based on personal headcanons… i dont really get WHY people do it

dont get me wrong im all for a little fun and for messing around with pronouns, but… isnt it more fun to let them keep the they/them?? whats the point of taking that away?

iiii dunno. i just think its strange lol

[cure-stars]

see, even though i kept singing, i was still crying alone

in the music festival where i danced frantically

are the sounds reaching your ears? lomia, lomia!

i fell in an almost magical love with a sound,

which i had finally met after years of separation,

and i didn't even notice. 🌹

i like how you can tell the minute sasha takes over answer duties matthew just- i think its safe to say matthew feels secure enough to turn off his brain for a bit and succumb to his inner bird if you will

as you can tell matthew was very much paying attention to whatever was being said and agrees with everything wholeheartedly and absolutely not distracted by showing off his tatas and making sure the girls have some breathing room (i wish i was lying when i said it seems like everyday he becomes more and more a caricature of himself)

the final nod at the end so everyone knows he agrees with sasha...

[hanakou-often]

In regards to HanaKou discourse, I've always seen people say 'Kou's into Mitsuba!!' or 'they're just platonic besties! Plus Kou rejected Hanako!!!' and sure, maybe Kou doesn't have a thing for Hanako but has anyone REALLY stopped to consider Hanako has a thing for Kou??? And just. Didn't process it because of internalized homophobia AND his crush on Nene overshadowing his feelings for Kou??? Because THIS chapter had NO RIGHT to be so fruity on Hanako's part

So let me get this straight. TOTK!Rauru had repeatedly requested that the Gerudo join the ‘protective embrace’ of his kingdom, to serve him. Protection from whom? The monster clans? If anything, the Gerudo seem at the peak of their power! They have some measure of control over the molduga, the fiercest of the desert’s monsters. It’s also established elsewhere that the Secret Stones merely amplify one’s existing power—that one would catapult Ganon to near-unstoppable heights speaks of his already formidable might. With him at the helm, the Gerudo were ready and willing to invade Hyrule. Until Rauru demonstrated a superweapon that quite literally vaporized any notion of a military assault—a superweapon that Rauru (and his cohort) brazenly wears. Ganon is entreating a party wearing nuclear launch codes around their necks! And those aren’t even the only Secret Stones in Rauru’s possession, later handing those out as he sees fit to the Sages. Of course, the narrative portrays Rauru as someone who would never abuse that kind of power—he’s a Good King. But that’s a terrifying Sword of Damocles.

Yep. Pretty much.

Also I'd like to point out that apparently, Rauru's "sin", and what passes off as his character arc (so far, I haven't finished the whole game yet), is that he was too confident that he'd keep Ganondorf under control as a vassal? Like, okay what were the options otherwise? What should he have done that he didn't do? Like in OoT/TP beforehand: was Rauru supposed to simply imprison the king of a foreign nation just because he didn't pass the vibe check --or worse, kill him off? And then what happens to the gerudo? I feel like we've gone down this road before, and it didn't lead anywhere pretty...

This is what I mean about the poor character writing in this game: I think Rauru is supposed to be the emotional core of the story, and he might be the only one with an "arc" so far, but his flaw/regret is... a whole bunch of nothing? Unless you think he should have commited genocide to protect his kingdom from evil, according to the game that refuses to examine his actions/power, there's nothing he should have done differently besides... not having his wife be murdered? That's not a character arc, that's just an unfortunate event you participated in unwillingly!! To make a comparaison that is worth being brought up: the king of Hyrule in BotW worked much better in that regard, because he is indeed partially responsible for the fall of his kingdom through the pressure he inflicted upon his daughter and the prideful belief that he could control a force of nature (Calamity Ganon being treated as such in that game) through technology; both of these attitudes costing him everything, condemning his daughter to a century-long fight and said technology ruling the lands through terror in his stead. As a ghost, he haunts the wreckage waiting for the hero to wake up to try and finally correct his mistakes through Link.

I think they kind of wanted to do that again in TotK, but it extremely doesn't land in my opinion because Rauru has no flaw --beyond, apparently, not being bigoted enough?

[our-transmasculine-experience]

Saw an anon questioning whether they were nonbinary or transmasc, and in my opinion it can be really helpful to view transmasculinity as something that isn't just an identity, but also something that covers presentation and transition and personal life experience too. You can be nonbinary and transmasc, and you can be transmasc without having a masculine gender identity at all, and you can be transmasc no matter your desire to transition. Transmasc can include everyone from he/him butches who relate to us but still identify as cis women to binary trans men, all as long as they personally choose the label transmasc. Basically if anyone is questioning if they're transmasc, it's a lot better to ask "do I relate to the community and want to call myself that" rather than "is my gender identity technically masculine/male". Signed, your friendly local genderqueer/genderfluid transmasc

Have we, as a fandom, progressed to the point that we can realize that Twilight of the Apprentice, while a good episode, is not a particularly great Rebels episode and is certainly the least functional finale in the entirety of Rebels?

[francixoxoxo]

Yes yes yes love vampire au yes yes but I refuse to write for that au unless I have something unique and interesting to say/add

[feline-evil]

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.

[leavingautumn13]

y'all are lucky it's an emerald kick i'm on right now and not an oras one because i get weird and feral about how characters in oras are aware of the narrative they're in and react differently to it depending on which game you're playing
