'I flirted with the idea that instead of being trans that I was just a cross-dresser (a quirk, I thought, that could be quietly folded into an otherwise average life) and that my dysphoria was sexual in nature, and sexual only. And if my feelings were only sexual, then, I wondered, perhaps I wasn’t actually trans.

I had read about a book called The Man Who Would Be Queen, by a Northwestern University professor who believed that transwomen who were attracted to women were really confused fetishists, they wanted to be women to satisfy an autogynephilia. And though I first read about this book in the context of its debunkment and disparagement, I thought about the electricity of slipping on those tights, zipping up those boots, and a stream of guilt followed. Maybe this professor was right, and maybe I was only a fetishist. Not trans, just a misguided boy.

About a year later, on the Internet, I come across a transwoman who added a unique message to the crowd refuting this professor. Oh, I wish I remember who this woman was, and I wish even more that I could do better than paraphrase her, but I remember her saying something like this: “Well, of course I feel sexy putting on women’s clothing and having a woman’s body. If you feel comfortable in your body for the first time, won’t that probably mean it’ll be the first time you feel comfortable, too, with delighting in your body as a sexual thing?”'

Some self indulgent Ghost x YN/OC doodles because I am cringe

[ace-of-garlic-breads]

ok so this isn't completely original, I was inspired by this post by @spookedbees

but since I really love Shel I really thought I should also share my hcs for her

(if we get any canon info abt her I'm definately willing to change any of my hcs.)

(also I'm 100% open to conversation abt any of these hcs!)

I def wanna make some diff outfits for her, cause I have an idea that she honestly has a clothing style that's whatever she can find, (kinda like me XD)

and you can literally pull crafter Shel outta my COLD. DEAD. HANDS. (she 100% makes gifts for Piper)

What are the humans like in wayward sparks? Are there any notable ones?

They're not necessarily as prominent in the story as they tend to be in any canon series that includes them, but they're definitely there. The bots spend the first arc just trying to survive on earth until they find a way home, and they have quite a few run ins with the locals. Most of which are relatively unhinged, many of which are not very friendly, because they crash in an itty bitty, rural new england mountain town called Ironwood, wayyyyy out in the sticks. Most residents aren't particularly afraid to fire at will when giant robot aliens decide to show up.

Least alien-friendly would be Rusty Williams, a local logger with one hell of a trigger finger for anyone and anything on his property he sees as a threat. Aliens, government agents asking a few too many questions, cops, whatever. All of them only get one warning.

Fortunately for the stranded Cybertronians, gunshots aren't really fatal or even particularly damaging long-term for giant robots that can put themselves back together if they sustain enough damage to fall to pieces. Unfortunately, they still do enough damage to tear through their outer armor layers and that tends to hurt like a bitch.

In the very least, there are plenty of humans around with their heads screwed on right that won't try to blast anything that looks at them funny. Like Rusty's Daughter, Crystal.

That said, Crystal is an elusive type. A middle schooler Going Through It, trying REALLY hard to be edgy so people stay away (hence the $2 Spirit Halloween horns headband), she'd really prefer to spend her free time hiding in the woods where nobody can perceive her. Thats been a little more difficult ever since a bunch of giant robots started stomping around out there and all they know about her is her dad is super cringe, so she's pretty scared of a bad first imprsssion.

She'd be lying if she said she didn't want to be friends with them (which she does lie about frequently because ew, genuine feelings), especially the Decepticons, because she thinks they're cooler, but she also knows her dad would flip his lid if he knew.

Also interested in approaching the Resident Aliens, is Marie Lambert.

Marie's only just recently moved into Ironwood. It's been a rocky transition to say the least. Her dad's a biologist, a real science-y type, and he moved out to the boonies to be closer to the wildlife. Marie's plenty used to being out in the sticks, camping trips with her dad were a regular occurrence before the move, but it's a little hard to get used to the new place when there aren't very many kids her age around. And the ones that are there aren't exactly very welcoming to flatlanders showing up taking over the place.

But in the very least, Marie makes ONE friend when she finds Crystal out in the woods. And a few more when they find what the adult residents of Ironwood have been telling them to stay the hell away from.

They don't approach them straightaway (mostly because their first encounter consists of watching Shockwave scare away Bumblebee, and Shockwave skulking off when he realizes he spooked the Autobot), but the next day at school they start Planning. They HAVE to know more about the robots, and they're willing to pool their resources and information to make that happen. They figure if there's two sides and they don't play nice with each other, it's easiest for one girl to pick one side and they tell each other whatever they can find out.

This begins several beautiful friendships

Marie chooses to gather info on the Autobots. Mostly because, well, they seem less scary and potentially friendlier. She tries the polite thing (which she's hoping will result in the least possible chance for things to go off the rails) and knocks right on their door. The bots aren't really sure how to respond to a very small, very shy alien critter that showed up right at their door to ask what they are and if she can hang out. Marie isn't sure if any of this was a good idea.

They turn out to be pretty welcoming, especially because organics that aren't actively shooting at them are a nice change of pace.

She gets especially close with Bumblebee. Hes comforting. Makes her feel like everything's going to be okay. She gets pretty anxious, and he's good at keeping her grounded. So far, anyway...

On Crystal's side, it's been... Well, it's been different.

The cons would not admit it on their deathbeds but good lord did Crystal scare the slag out of them when they first realized she was there. She snuck right on aboard their crashed ship and nobody noticed her for about 15 minutes.

After the initial scare, and a bunch of big bad giant robots scrambling around because there is a Tiny Squishy Critter in their Space and they do NOT know what to do about that, Crystal starts in trying to get answers. Answers most of the cons aren't particularly willing to give out (other than Shockwave, who is just very excited at the opportunity to make a new friend).

Megatron eventually deems her more or less harmless. She isn't really causing problems or hurting anyone, she doesn't appear to be hostile (other than hissing at Lugnut when he got too close), and he can't really fault the little gremlin for her curiosity. An ally in a foreign world can be very very valuable when you're stranded, so he lets her stay, "as long as she doesn't get in the way."

Marie and Crystal meet up at school during lunch to share notes. It gets confusing trying to keep track of everything when the two sides give conflicting information so often. The girls try to keep an open mind. Hard to remember things about someone you don't like, but they can't really figure out which version is true for any given story, but they're hoping if they spend enough time with their robot friends, they'll figure it out together.

Maybe they can even help the bots and the cons make up. It's just a silly fight, after all.

It's not like anyone's going to get hurt, right? They're all good people.

Rewatching the gp now and ECSTATIC about the McLaren sobeys branding

[skygemspeaks]

making phone calls is truly one of the worst parts of being an adult

Luckily the way i deal with it is by remembering that no phone call i ever make again is going to be as stressful as when i had to call multiple members of the canadian parliament to explain that my mother was stranded in a hostile country due to a terrorist takeover of the government and would need rescue ❤️

[mainfaggot]

I put our birthdays into those astro chart compatibility calculators and the two sites both said we would make a really good couple. the crush is BACK ON ‼️(i am a teenager who is delusional. i am a twenty year old loser. I am insane. I am not free. whatfuckingever) my week long apathy towards the whole thing is over

I wonder how accurate dna tests that give you your ancestry actually are

[readingwriter92]

I don’t realize how Canadian a show is until I’m watching a show half a decade earlier than an another and seeing the same actors-

Cue me confusingly watching republic of Doyle and every ep going wait- and finding another long running character on Killyjoys being in one ep.

I’ve seen four eps of this show and already Khylen and Pawter have shown up?? I stg if i start seeing characters from Haven in this show

AND MECASSA…. over 6’ beefy shit brickhouse hockey and lacrosse player cass, missing tooth ovechkin charm, with a sharp chirping tongue. i just know mel is a puck bunny by proxy because of cass. i just know she watches her gf check and brutalize ppl on the ice/gym depending on what sport shes playing while she figuratively swims in her gf’s alternate colour jersey. cass thinks she’s adorable and taps the glass of the boards with her stick to say hi and mel has extreme gay heart attack when cass wipes her sweat/bloody nose from a fight with the hem of her jersey and shows her stomach.

I love this, because Mel is totally a puck bunny, and like... you know she only has kind of a loose understanding of either sport. She has a general idea of how they work, mainly from watching/Cassandra explaining, but sports just aren't a big thing for her. She does love seeing Cass have fun and fuck people up, though, which is mainly why she's there. (Big strong girlfriend make brain go brrr)

Melony has watched Cassandra body check women into the sides of a hockey rink and shove them onto gym floors and it has awoken many feelings. Plus she can't deny that smile (or that there's something insanely attractive about Cass being sweaty and breathing heavy but still giving that cocky grin and mouthing off after a fight.)
