Her being terrified and thinking she'll become a demon and him rushing to hold her close to him and telling her he loves her again and again, right after seeing her at her most vulnerable and knowing her “shame” has to be one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking moments in the movie. I like how Orlok's violence is juxtaposed with Thomas's gentle and comforting love for her. Also, love that prior to this moment it is Ellen who holds onto Thomas to stop him from leaving the house, riles him up to get a reaction out of him ending up in them having rougher, more passionate sex which she wants Orlok to see because she is actively trying to fight off his hold on her. Basically just giving him a middle finger lmao. And the fact that this time, she actually succeeds, once again showing how Orlok uses her desire to exercise control over her and how Thomas not only satisfies that desire but also liberates her from the terrible psychosexual connection/subjugation, rendering Orlok's control ineffective. Thomas's love empowers her. God I'm never ever getting over this scene. Like never. Everything about it is so beautiful and heartbreaking and haunting to me.

have you noticed how there is no acceptable thing for a trans lesbian to be, even within queer and feminist spaces? everything that is applauded as progressive, subversive, and powerful for tme queers to do, transfems are hated for.

you can't be a strong, aggressive woman, you can't speak your mind and be openly feminist, you certainly can't be angry, or the same queers who will praise outspoken tme women will turn around and call you a dangerous man. and god forbid you be a man-hating feminist dyke while butch, any touch of masculinity in your presentation will be further snatched up as proof that you're really a man trying to invade women's spaces.

you can't be sexual, you can't be proud of your body, you can't enjoy women's bodies, you can't be a lesbian who likes being a lesbian, or else the otherwise "sex positive" tme queers will accuse you of fetishizing womanhood, of being a predator, a straight man in disguise. and don't you dare commit the cardinal sin of actually liking having a penis, because everyone knows that penis is the ontologically evil weapon of the enemy!

but then, you can't be femme either. you can't enjoy feminine presentation, you can't want to be small and cutesy, you can't like makeup and spinny skirts, otherwise you're accused of reinforcing patriarchy and gender roles, of making a mockery of women, of wearing stereotypes like a costume. these accusations will all be thrown at you by tme queers who tag transmisogynistic caricatures as "gender goals", and who applaud the "femboy" but only before she comes out, only so long as they can say she's just a progressive role-smashing cis boy.

of course it goes without saying that the conservatives, the cishet men who want us to be their dirty little secrets, their lifeless sex toy, an object of desire and target for violence, of course they hate us. but it's not just the conservatives. no matter how you act, how you present yourself, how you feel and express your relationship to womanhood, to femininity, no matter how meek or outspoken you are, tme queers will criticize and ostracize and attack you for doing the very things they praise each other for.

there is no way to earn a way into their good graces, no way to be progressive or subversive in the "right" way, so long as they view the inherent fact of our transfemininity as too subversive, too perverse, to exist the first place.

I think it’s actually really extremely weird to think that like. People talk about me? It feels like I just vanish from other peoples minds? Idk, it’s weird to think that I’ve had any effect on people or that I’ve left a lasting impression on people.

I’m just thinking about the people who have done stuff for me, like why do I even occur to you????

“When I first heard it, from a dog trainer who knew her behavioral science, it was a stunning moment. I remember where I was standing, what block of Brooklyn’s streets. It was like holding a piece of polished obsidian in the hand, feeling its weight and irreducibility. And its fathomless blackness. Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher. Of course. It fit the science, and it also fit the hidden memories stored in a deeply buried, rusty lockbox inside me. The people who walked down the street arbitrarily compressing their dogs’ tracheas, to which the poor beasts could only submit in uncomprehending misery; the parents who slapped their crying toddlers for the crime of being tired or hungry: These were not aberrantly malevolent villains. They were not doing what they did because they thought it was right, or even because it worked very well. They were simply caught in the same feedback loop in which all behavior is made. Their spasms of delivering small torments relieved their frustration and gave the impression of momentum toward a solution. Most potently, it immediately stopped the behavior. No matter that the effect probably won’t last: the reinforcer—the silence or the cessation of the annoyance—was exquisitely timed. Now. Boy does that feel good.”

plus they also treat you like an asshole regardless of how nice you are bc if you show any symptoms ever it means you were just hiding being an asshole its rlly just. god. but being kind to people will make life better genuinely

like. you miss out on little daily interactions between strangers where it makes you both happier after. life is better if you are kind. but dont be kind for their benefit, be kind for YOUR benefit. Who cares how much it impacts their life, if it makes you happy to think about afterwards, you win. and other people will see you being kind and think you're a cool nice person or be jealous too so win win

Npd Culture is trying your hardest to not be an arrogant jerk and sometimes really wondering why you even bother. It doesn't feel rewarding and all and shouldn't I be allowed to treat those people like the idiots they are? As a treat?

Yknow i despise that there is a binary of transfem/transmasc. I'm not a binary individual and transfem and transmasc Both describe me. And i don't like being called one without the other. Id rather be called neither at this point. Because other people - other trans people, other queer people - see that I was an estrogen producing person and went on testosterone and immediately assign me transmasc when thats not my label thats never been my label and I do not appreciate being called this label. My identity as a bigender person has been so incredibly alienating in the trans space, honestly, because even other nonbinary individuals will do this to me.

Like. Why are we doing this. I hate it. Im tired of people only seeing one part of my gender

Why I Prefer To Text Instead Of Talking

I don't have to think about body language

It allows for information processing time

If I'm confused by language, I can fact check

If I'm feeling overwhelmed, I don't have to reply

I feel less judged for how I communicate

I can organise my thoughts more easily

I feel more in control of what I am trying to say

Chronic Sonic pt 9

1. the chaos emeralds don’t seem to be wielded that often until sonic get his hands on them and suddenly they’re seeing action every other week when before it would take ages to locate every emerald and bring them together —> Chaos users can sense the emeralds —> the chaos emeralds might be just a little bit sentient —> the emeralds react to Sonic because he’s used them so often that the link between them has widened to the point that its easier to let that energy flow than it is to cut it off. They’re connected now. They’re naturally drawn to him. They like him. He’s the favourite if you will. He’s all about freedom and running and what is chaos but complete freedom? —> its bad for him because after that link widens its like a waterfall nonstop pouring into a bowl that can’t hold it all. Eventually that bowl is gonna break in half or erode away into nothing and be swallowed up in the waterfall.

2. Shadow will go super and walk away just to keep the emeralds out of Sonic’s reach now yes it’s that bad—
