Normalize being a cozy little guy. Every morning we torture ourselves by leaving the warm and loving embrace of snooz central (your bed) to go and do what SOCIETY wants. I say nuh uh

When you look at what's happening right now, all the political hoo-ha, the disasters, the fact that to make it big in the world you have to be a dick to people. You try to make a decent living, doing what makes you happy, and then some jackass comes along and trashes your place because they tied their ego and sense of self-worth to a number.

Sometimes, I just want to exist and be content with that.

I want to live off-grid in a cabin. A water wheel. Wind turbines in the backyard. Underground electrical batteries and servers. A large, diverse field for farming fruits and vegetables. Remote work. Build enough money for seeds, supplies, specialty foods, etc.

it just sucks because nothing is ever fucking made for you, and if it is made for you like 75% of the time it gets chopped into little pieces by every person alive because this is the one thing you have, so it has to prove itself to you.

like, a thing can't just be for women. men need to assign it to women. women have to experience "must" or "should" before their hobbies and passions - women are allowed to do silly, passive things like tuck our ankles and titter behind a fan, or something. women are allowed to, they are welcomed to. like the world is a house and we are supposed to be in the kitchen and now we are being given the divine right to enter the living room if we bring chips

because when it becomes for you, or about you, that is when the thing is vile. you should/must wear makeup so you can appear beautiful to men. once you wear makeup for yourself, or because you yourself enjoy putting it on, then you are no longer doing the right thing. there is a reason men hate certain fashion trends. there is a reason men hate things like the pumpkin spice latte - because it's not about them. you are buying it because it is good for you. they degrade your passions and interests. there is a reason women-led fields are largely seen as being "not a real" profession. when you are a good cook, that is because you can provide for him. close your eyes. you're not going to be a chef, be honest. that is a man making food for himself.

bras are made so breasts will be appealing to men. they are rarely about comfort or support. you have given up entirely on the idea of pockets. young girls have to worry about a shorter inseam on their shorts. a girl on instagram gets her septum pierced, and men in the comments are rabid about it - i just want to rip it out of her face. she'd be beautiful without it.

and fucking everything is for them. even the media that is "for you" is for them, eventually. remember "my little pony"? remember how hard it is to convince any executive to believe that little girls are worth selling to? in the media that is for you, you see little ways that you still need to make it accessible for them - the man is always powerful, smart, masculine. he is a man's man. the media usually forgives him. it usually says okay, some men are awful, but hey! gotta love 'em. because if you don't hold their hands and say "this is literally just a story about my lived reality", they shit their pants about it. they demand you put them into the media that's for you.

these are people who are so used to glutting themselves on the world. they are used to having every corner and every dollar and every place of leadership. so you say can i please have one slice of cake, just for myself, please, holy shit. and they fucking weep about it. they say you're being unfair, because some of their one-thousand-slices aren't beautiful, and your singular cake slice doesn't have their name on it. and aren't you being rude by not offering to share?

and honestly. fucking - yeah, man. you were kind of surprised, because the cake is a little basic (you bake at home, you're way past this stuff). but holy shit, it was nice just to be offered cake in the first place. you're used to having to starve. you're used to getting nothing, but going to the party anyway, because you're expected (professionally) to show up. you liked that it is a simple cake, and that it is warm, and mostly: you like that there is, for once, a cake-for-you.

in the real world, outside of metaphor, it feels like fucking being slapped. barbie didn't even say anything particularly unusual; it literally just made factually evident points. there are less women in leadership than men. we can look at that fact objectively. that is a real thing that is happening. and the movie is aware that it has to defend itself! that it has to spend like half an hour just turning to the camera and saying: i know this is hard for you to understand, but this is a real thing that women experience.

it's just - this is that one kid on the playground who thinks its allowed to hog all the toys. he builds this hoard that nobody else is allowed to even look at, or he'll get aggressive. everyone's a little scared of him, so they let it slide, because his daddy gave him the golden touch. he hates when people cry and thinks bullying is cool. he writes boys only! on a big sign and makes all his friends take "alpha male" classes.

and then girls pick up barbies, because there was nothing left for them. and in the void they've been given, with their scraps: they make long, spiraling narratives about how barbie is actually descended from snakes and has given her righteous followers magical (if concerning) powers and can speak 32 languages (2 of which are animal related) and has big plans for infrastructure (beginning with the local interstate). and the boy comes over, and he has a huge fit about how the girls aren't "including" him. he wants to know why the girls aren't making the story about ken.

"we didn't like your story." the girls blink at him. they point to his war stories and the gi joes and the millions of male-led narratives and how still in the modern day men get two-thirds of the speaking roles in movies and they point to men making mediocre shows that don't get lambasted and they point to men encouraging toxic masculinity and they point to men everywhere, men and men and men. and they say: "how is this our fault? you had ken."

"no!" he is already back to screaming and stomping his feet and tearing at his hair and intentionally reminding them that men are holding back thinly concealed violence and he says: "if it's not for me, it's actually sexism."

Are prompts open for DFXDC? Because what if Danny* and his polycule were to move not to Gotham but on to Danny** *Fenton **the Street

DF? like, danny fenton? This question confuses me a little bit but I think I know what you mean!

I think Team Phantom ending up in Danny the Street is untapped material. They would thrive and I can see them promising Danny (the street) to protect them.

For context for my followers who are now wondering what in the world is Danny the Street:

(they're also an ambulance. don't worry about it)

(also a brick)

We talk a lot about liminal this, liminal that, but Danny is a liminal space. Technically?

I confess my knowledge of this part of DC is limited, and only from what I've seen in Doom Patrol TV series.

i can’t help but wonder what ollie would have become had his plan worked and felix fell in love with him. would he have still killed felix’s family? would he have integrated into high-life society? would he have been content living a rich gay lifestyle or would boredom have come creeping in over the years?

maybe hed just go full count zaroff and start hunting people for sport idk

with regards to your post stating that you noticed about half of the butch/femme art posted online lately featured butches having had mastectomies — i tried to do the math myself because i’ve also been seeing it (so has my butch, and we’ve been feeling like we were going insane).

i scrolled down 25 posts under the ‘butchfemme art’ search, and found that the first 16 posts presented the butch as having bound or surgically removed breasts. that’s almost 65%. (and when the butch did have a chest it was often smaller than the femme’s, or only hinted at by a few lines). genuinely, genuinely scary to think about. gender fans supposedly hate gender roles but the second a woman is masculine she is not allowed to qualify as female anymore.

Goddamn. I'm honestly not surprised by those numbers but at the same time it's so infuriating and depressing. I feel terrible for butch women who are overwhelmingly seeing themselves represented as though something is so wrong with them that they need surgical intervention.

It's so predatory. And you can tell the "butches just want to be men" mindset never went away in this movement chock full of straight people. but of course it's evilthoughtcrimes to analyze that overtone in the trans community. Oh no you poor confused soul, you're doing "woman" wrong! Can't you see "woman" means spinny dress and contouring? it's okay, just have some unnecessary major surgery and hormones that cause lifetime debilitating side effects. You're so much like a man anyway so why not try to physically approximate one?
