"do you want to live a life with extra bullshit? or do you wanna live your best life?"

ya see. this is contradictory. my best life is while being trans, being referred to as a male name, using my own pronouns, being happy. the extra bullshit is stuff i can leave behind. im doing this for ME. and only MEEE. i dont want to think about the rest of it when i can go to the supermarket and get called "sir" and "him" and "they" with the people i trust. i have experiences outside of you that i dont talk about because i dont have to. i love being me, and once im out of here, ill be who i wanna be without you.

proper refs for my new r&m ocs :-) more info BELOW

morty v-37 - basically gets used as a human shield and then promptly left for dead by his previous rick(which is why hes got the scar and prosthetics), y-4441 finds him and fixes him up + erases his memories of the whole nearly dying thing. he’s pretty chillaxed and a bit more cynical than an average morty, more “rickish” i guess idk. tends to be skeptical, likes poking holes in rick’s arguments/inventions etc etc but like in a teasing way

rick y-4441 - very peppy, upbeat and emotional. he kind of reeaalllyyy dislikes the cfc and stays away from it as much as possible, especially after finding and unofficially adopting v-37. he’s not as tech savvy as most rick’s, his abilities are more akin to s1 rick’s skill level? as in, he lives off of scraps of materials and creative solutions, less god-like and more “old man in garage who happens to know physics and chemistry”. loves to ramble about basically anything and happily indulges in morty’s hypotheticals/questions whatever. EXCEPT! for why morty doesnt have his fingers he shuts that topic down immediately just does not want to deal with that can of worms at allll

yknow i love transmasc/tboy dirk always and forever but the way some ppl treat transmascness vs transfemmeness in HS's narrative........kinda sucks. like the whole thing about how being transfeminine is a literal transient experience and lets the character in question (any character) truly escape the oppression of HS's narrative-as-a-character which is patriarchal and toxic (lord english, hussie-the-character to an extent. i guess. idk ive seen a lotta ppl lump SI-hussie in w/ this), which is great and does hold weight as an analytical lens esp with how hussie irl is nonbinary. but where does this leave transmasc characters. why are we treating (headcanoned) transfemme HS characters like this and then tbh gleefully dooming (headcanoned) transmasc characters to eternal narrative suffering brought by LE and then mocking them for being ''gross tboys'' full of ''icky testorerone'' so its their fault theyre in this perpetual torment really? because they ''''chose to be a man''''? dunno man its starting to feel bad. especially since some bnf's who are really into this fan theory do actually kinda treat the general idea of transmasculinity like somthing to hold with tongs at arms length away from them. as if its alien or infectous or something and then get really mad when equally dysphoric transmascs do the same with feminity. why are we dooming dirk strider to eternal toxic-masculine suffering and what does that say about how we treat real life transmasc folks both in and outside of the fandom

The victory screen popped up on the monitor after finally defeating the enemy team, Kasper couldn’t resist shouting out excitedly, who knows how long they have been playing for.

“Jeez— weren’t we on easy mode for this?..” Lampert commented, placing the controller he was given back on the desk..he never cared for video games or anything, only ever bothering with them for Kasper.

“We were, but..these battles are tough!”

“…They are..?”

Kasper didn’t respond, just blinked at Lampert silently for a couple of seconds before speaking up again. “…You didn’t look very happy dude, did you not like it?”

“I was kind of just following what you did, wasn’t feel much.” He shrugged

“Like always…” Kasper sighed, standing up to look through his absurd collection “There’s gotta be something here that you’ll like!”

Lampert watched him for a bit before fidgeting with the bracelet he wore to match with him, he did feel bit bad seeing how badly Kasper wanted him to have fun with the games but he was always so…straight faced during them.

Kasper muttered as he flipped through, “Thiiss? Might be too quick paced..this one is just like the one we just played..” He didn’t want Lampert to be bored or keep him waiting..so he ended up giving up and just going back to sit by him, empty handed.

“Couldn’t find anything..sorryy..”

“You know we can just play whatever you want-“

“Just want to see you smile during them you know?”

“I got it..” Lampert sighed, looking to the side, leaving the two in a bit of awkward silence, giving Kasper enough time to brainstorm.

There was too many games to go through again..he wasn’t as good as a jokester as Split so his jokes would definitely fall flat..there was oneee thing he hoped would work though..

Lampert was distracted by his own thoughts..wondering if he should leave a bit earlier than he normally does, Kasper seemed out of ideas so-

He suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around his torso, Lampert turning his head spotting Kasper grinning.

“..Kasper, what’s the deeeHEHE-“

He felt his best friends fingers squeeze at his sides, earning a squeal, Lampert quickly turned away out of embarrassment.

“Dawww c’mon..let me see that smile!!” Kasper swapped to actually scribbling over his sides, receiving a bunch of giggles out of him. “Ohhohh my gahhaah KAHAHASS-“

Kasper continued spidering and occasionally pinching Lamperts sides, “You know I should’ve done this in the first placee..this is a lot more fun even for me!”

“I DIHHIDNT SAY IT WAS FUHHUUN?!”

“I’m just playing with you!”

Lampert yelped as Kasper suddenly squeezed his sides again, moving his fingers to scribble at his stomach, despite the protests, the charger tail he had was swishing behind as the antics went on..and Kasper just had to notice.

“Orrr maybe I’m not! I had no idea you’d have so much fun either!

“DOHHON’T MEHENTION IHHIIT!”

“You don’t gotta be so embarrassed about it..” He spoke, squeezing under his arms causing Lampert to jump. “I don’t judge man!”

He said nothing to respond to that, only thing Kasper heard was even more laughter and squeaking..

Kasper didn’t want to go overboard and overwhelm Lampert..so he slowly slowed down on the playful attack, before holding onto Lampert, listening to the leftover giggling.

“Youuu good there?”

“…II-I’m alright…”

“…You wanna do that again soon?”

Lamper huffed underneath him, but wrapped his arms back around, mumbling..

“I wouldn’t mind.”

I kinda like but dislike that Rumiko and Sunrise (and fans) have never even mentioned that miko (priestesses) are virgins. And that their shinto ability to tend holy places comes from being unmarried virgins. In modern day I guess it is not really required but I kind of wish more people analyzed Kikyo, the dark priestess, Kaede and Kagome in that light.

Personally I think that due to the era Kagome would not be allowed to remain a miko after getting married and having a child. She would still be one of course due to her spiritual ability, but I think she would no longer be allowed to remain in that societal role.

Kagome is so spunky though that I see her rebelling against it. I think Kagome's strength in being outspoken is another great contrast between her and Kikyo. While Kikyo was confined by society and was only freed from expectation when she became an impure monster. Kagome was outspoken and loud to where she didn't have much of a societal role and yet remained 'spiritually pure.'

There is a huge theme of 'societal expectation' in Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kikyo that I think being a miko is a part of.

Personally I'm torn on Kagome loudly choosing to get married and have a child VS remaining a Miko and Kagome choosing to attempt to do both.

i have recently been made aware that it’s not normal to feel discomfort and disgust when people use your given name? like that’s not what everyone who doesn’t like their name means when they say they don’t like their name?? hearing mine makes me cringe and sometimes even makes my skin crawl or my stomach drop and you’re telling me most people don’t experience this????

i was talking to my therapist last week about how i'm kinda excited but also equally apprehensive about starting grad school this fall because yes, i so so desperately needed a gap year otherwise i think i literally would have killed myself and/or had a breakdown big enough to land me in the hospital, and even beyond that i just needed to figure out a more concrete plan of what i'm going to do with my life in general -- while all of that is true, and i'm glad i took the gap year for it, i'm also apprehensive because i genuinely feel like an entirely different person than i was even at this exact point in time last year, nevermind anything earlier than that. it's only been a single year of me being out of school but my life has changed so dramatically, mostly for the better, and my whole personality has flipped on its head, it's just going to be so fucking weird going back to the same school, the same campus, potentially seeing my old friends around. augh
