I made a full-length Sonelise AMV!

This is also my first AMV that I've ever made, so I'm really happy with how it came out.

I've had the idea for this stuck in my head for months, so I decided to do something about it at 8 a.m. this morning. >:3

When I first heard the song Only Hope by Mandy Moore on Spotify on September 4th, 2023, my jaw dropped because I couldn't believe how much this song fit Sonic and Elise, and it's just a really beautiful song; it blew me away. Anyway, I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I hope you guys enjoy~

(The thumbnail was a happy accident lol)

Please Help! Lost Fanfic...

Hello Everyone! Please Help! I am looking for a fic that was one of my two "emotional comfort" stories. I am trying to remember the fic's name or the author, but it has escaped me. Does someone have a link/saved copy/the author's name so that I can reach out and ask them about it?

Any help would be so very much appreciated! This is truly my last resort and my only hope...

Thank You!

General Summary:

Mando is given an "untouched omega" as a bounty reward and accepts her so that he can get her to an alpha of her own. Omegas in this story were mute until a bond bite released their vocal cords so they could finally speak. Throughout the story, Mando and the omega fall in love and eventually, Mando gives her a bite to release her vocal cords so that she can finally speak and say his name.

Here are all the details that I can remember:

Mandalorian Fic (ABO) Omega OFC/Reader Mando is NOT an Alpha (just a normal human/beta?) "Untouched Omega" was given to Mando as a bounty reward Omega's mute until given a bond bite to the throat Uses hand signs to communicate Guards all over her body to seal in her scent. Over time, Mando starts selling the guards off the omega Mando's whole journey is to sell/give the omega to an actual alpha They start to feel things toward each other but Mando is dead set on giving the omega to an alpha so that she can have a bond. Mando brings Omega to an alpha's place but is told that the alpha wouldn't mate her because she already had a "mate" in Mando. Mando gets the picture and takes the omega back to the ship so he can finally bond with her even though he is not an alpha. The fic ends with Mando biting the omega and being worried it didn't work, but then the last line is the omega saying Mando's name?

At this point, I've tried all that I can to find this fic on my own and have even reached out to users on Reddit, but I've had no luck so far. If this doesn't work, I'll have to resign myself to never reading these comfort stories again, but I really hope that somebody out there has it saved or knows of it so that I can read it again...

Thank you so much for reading my post!

happy episode 11!

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???
