one of the most important things terry pratchett has taught me is that it's okay to be angry. no one has ever said that to me before. he taught me that anger was an engine. that you can use that anger. that it goes hand in hand with love. he taught me to never underestimate my anger, because it's one of my strongest points. he taught me genuine anger was one of the world’s great creative forces. he taught me i shouldn't be fighting my anger, but what caused it. he himself said rage underlines everything he wrote. i never heard anger talked about so openly like that before and it's freeing, i suppose, to realize you are truly, truly not alone in your rage at the world. you never were.

Because of my rant? lol to @stuckinthistaydream: I really think there is so much to explore AROUND love and a relationship for Taylor she has never gotten to before. The idea of having someone there as your soft place to land when you need it and getting to be the same to that person. The idea that someone doesn't look at your past as a warning label, but loves the idea that you will write about him (Travis was just itching to claim any song about him on TTPD). It's the idea of love without feeling used or having to hide. Love while being given space to heal and support to do so. Love with security, belonging, and frankly being welcomed. Travis made sure Taylor was welcomed and felt safe in KC which is why every time one of his teammates is asked about her, they can actually answer: she is welcomed into team gatherings like every other partner.

People have boiled down the idea of love songs to like "omg I love this person so much" when there are so many other feelings around it that Taylor hasn't gotten to exploring. And they started in some of her mashups like her big-brained YAIL/FOTS one that is actually one I think might be a big theme-hint for TS12. It's the idea of coming home to your person and knowing that you're wanted there.

And I think she's been feeling like she was only with men because they tolerated parts of her and embraced other parts. And for the first time in her adult like, she is fully embraced for who she is and all she is without being made to feel bad for it. Her ambition is encouraged. Her love of taking care of people is also encouraged. All of her is embraced and it has made her life safer than ever emotionally.

WxS gathering around tsukasa and going “tsukasa is the type of guy to say ‘they’re right behind me aren’t they’” “tsukasa is the type of guy to see a box of donuts and wiggle his fingers while going ‘don’t mind if I do’” “tsukasa is the type of guy to shout eureka when he solves a problem” “tsukasa is the kind of guy to sleep like honk shoo honk shoo” and he gets so mad because he can’t even defend himself. they’re 100% right.

had a dream that I was video chatting with some friends, but when I turned on my camera I looked like I'd just crawled out of a horror movie, and the only thing I could think to say was "sorry I look like a bog witch today, guys - it's the testosterone."

people on my dash have been talking abt this webnovel called 'human domestication guide' recently so i decided to read it, and it doesn't really do anything for me, though i can see how it would be appealing to other people.

since it's apparently popular with transfems, it made me kind of wonder if transmascs had any sort of fic genre that typically awakened stuff in them too, and then i remembered that yaoi exists.

Growing up I had the thought of self-expression beaten out of me. It sounds stereotypical, but self-expression for a “boy” was sports, cars, girls and gayness being a punchline. I didn’t vibe with any of that, and the few boyish things I stuck with because it would raise eyebrows not to - letting body hair grow, short hair, no makeup - never felt good at all, so I just gave up on self-expression at all, decided I just vibe best with baggy shorts and graphic tees

since coming out of the closet proper in the last year, I’ve seen myself in a dress. I’ve seen myself with long, growing hair. I’ve finally worn a skirt. I’ve painted my nails and worn lipstick, and I’ve been looking at ways to dye and style my hair. And it feels so good. The feeling of looking at myself in the mirror with some degree of pride instead of disinterest or even disdain is such an amazing feeling that I was never able to comfortably pursue before.

And idk, it’s just a really good feeling. This gender euphoria thing’s pretty cool. I’m finally showing who I am by existing, and there’s not a force on this planet that’s taking away the progress I’ve made to get here
