#talkin about gender

[icarrymany]

if i put the idea of transfem tim on the table would you all understand me. do you guys get it. bc i think. we should consider it more

[mailmiocuoredipietratremaancora]

I still haven’t understood if I find some people (characters most of the time) attractive or if it’s just gender envy

[feline-evil]

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.

I love that your female characters don't have breasts. To be honest, such content has already become annoying: it is being shoved everywhere. But it's not like that with you. Everything in your content is acceptable and within the norm. It's pleasing to the eye.

CW talk about mature physical features, though we dance around the words so we’re trying to stay PG-13 with our wording here. Be mature yall.

Thank you. To clarify, I’m all for female characters having more present feminine features that aren’t solely to be objectified and sexualized. Unfortunately female characters are disproportionately sexualized in media. It’s a natural body part and afab people shouldn’t be sexualized for it against their will.

For my series’ lore however, I just thought it made most sense for my giant species to only really have a prominent chest if they’re actively raising an infant. Otherwise, there isn’t a functional use for that extra tissue, so it goes away when it isn’t in use, similar to most other mammalians. Humans are an unusual case where the extra chest tissue just sticks around. My giants don’t necessarily have a strict resemblance to humans, and this just felt like a realistic anatomical choice to make for their lifestyle and unique biology.

Also side note, I prefer the term “chest” instead of “breasts” since it’s more gender-inclusive, and I unfortunately see the latter term used more often when sexualizing it. Chest is more neutral and it isn’t as often used in sexual context, to my knowledge.

"You say 'i want to be your girlfriend', but do you want to be my man?" is the singular lyric from my t/ordmatt toxic breakup playlist that drives me the most insane

Really put-off by this recent trend of joking about and cute-ifying certain topics to the extent of circling back around to actually saying super bigoted, harmful, regressive shit

[petirrojito]

I hate having ‘realisations’ about myself cause it’s stuff I already kinda knew but was in denial about. Like when it’s explained to me I understand but I’m smacked with the reality of my identity will affect me. Or more importantly it will affect ppl around me

[krizkrozapplesoz]

Sometimes i contemplate wether i am genderfluid instead of bigender but then i remember that being bigender can also include being genderfluid and i smile. I smile so wide

Just Referred To Bottom Surgery As "Getting A Dick Installed"

i got invited (today) to run a half (13.1 miles) this weekend, but i’ve never run one with so much vert (3,000+ feet) and i have not been training for that, so this could be an invitation to suffer. not sure whether to accept.

trying to pro con it

pro: beautiful course, meet my partner’s lesbian cousin and her fiancé, get to try something new and hard, camping and food and beer at the event

con: real chance i’m biting off more than i can chew and can i handle it if i DNF or run significantly slower than i’m used to? aka my ego is afraid

pro: it is probably a good thing to challenge my ego if this is what it’s afraid of? i can do hard things

con: maybe have to run alone and have NO idea how to approach a half on a trail up a mountain wrt pacing the race. also i don’t own trail shoes

pro: that’s kinda exciting to walk blindly and confidently into a hard new thing tho. and i’ve run plenty of trail in my road shoes…

[anachronistic-falsehood]

YAYYYY DRREAMSTUUCK HOURS!!!!! are there any specific headcanons you have that wont be explicitly included in the fic ?? things like. idk worldbuilding or little details that are so obscure that writing about them would be clunky or hard to fit nicely into plot. stuff like that etc :]

YES YES. YES I DO. okay first of all dstuck tommy is canonically trans so write that down. it's not really mentioned because wilbur straight up did not introduce the concept of gender to this kid and just called tommy he/him because he knew paradox space was going to give him a son no matter what, so when tommy learned what gender was and said "hey i'm a man >:3" wilbur was like sure ok. thog don't caare!! it is alluded to though and it will be heavily implied in my guardian wilbur oneshot that i'll prolly post sometime in the next couple months after i introduce our fourth beta player :3 (SPOILERS it's aimsey our fourth player is aimsey i feel like i've mentioned it before but yeah. fourth player aimsey :3 the session needs a knight so AIMSEY!!!)

ERET. they will not go crazy go stupid during murderstuck, they are not one of the murderers, but the concept of betrayal and redemption is very important to eret's character so they do have a backstory where they tried to hand skeppy over to the empire and get him culled. it will be mentioned!! probably will expand on it more in meteorstuck if possible, but for now it's barely there. there's SO much to include in dstuck it's insane

ponk lives in a tree because they ran away from the neighborhood they used to live in. someone got culled by some drones and in a panic, ponk ran away with their lusus and disappeared into the woods, where they met sapnap!! they were two of the first ones to meet, followed by sam, bad, and skeppy. they were the original five of their group before everyone else came in!

giving u some beta kids lore rn that will be expanded on in my guardian oneshots :3 tubbo started coding things at like three years old. GENIUS KID! PRODIGY!! he can also just kind of feel when other people are nearby? schlatt never caught him awake at night because tubbo without even hearing him would hide his book or device under his pillow when schlatt is just THINKING of checking on the kid. insane. ranboo is constantly aware of the space around him. try to trip him?? he's hopping over your foot without even realizing it. throw something at him?? he's dodging or catching it without looking up. because of this he has near perfect aim. would KILL IT in baseball!!! also would make a great marksman! unfortunately his weapon of choice is a sword, but he'll get really good with that as well and may even throw his blades in a strife. always hits his targets. tommy can keep perfect time without a metronome. knows exactly what time it is without looking. knows exactly how much time has passed since something happened last, down to the second. would make a wonderful dancer for the way he keeps time, but wants to be like his bro and become a musician!! kind of unnerving when he says "it's 1:32 pm" without even looking up from his keyboard when wilbur asks what time it is. aimsey. kind of a terrifying kid to raise! there one second and gone the next. shadows are their friend. constantly disappearing somewhere, not like they're invisible, but like they're just. completely unnoticeable until they speak. your gaze just sweeps right over them, thinking they're another shadow in the corner. kristen wakes up in the middle of the night thinking no one is in her room and then aimsey says "grandma i frew up" suddenly standing at the end of her bed. it's a got damn wonder that kid didn't give her a heart attack before the game

OOH another very little thing. ranboosprite? from the doomed timeline? not dead. :3 they'll be back :3 hehehehehehe

[anotherscrappile]

what time period is the story set in? is it a fictive world or a real one?

I’m assuming this is about my island manor story (which is yet to be properly named).

The story takes place in the late 1800’s, but I’m not paying too much attention to historical accuracy in terms of clothing & such. As far as the world, it is pretty similar to ours. Or at least, any major differences between their world & ours haven’t been fully worldbuilt yet. 😅

In the future, I’d like to kindly ask that any questions about my island manor characters or their world be sent to @twistedtriptych just to keep things tidy :)

its so weird meeting someone who works in my dream field (archaeology and museum studies) and realising they are the most boring mf ive ever met with the worst views ever

[chillgamesh-the-swing]

That is really interesting that they started you on that dose. Is that weekly? I am familiar with many people's doses, although almost entirely from the two places I've lived as adult so maybe there are regional differences or something specific to your doctor. No idea! As long as there is monitoring it seems like there are probably pros to either side.

oh lmao i forgot it WAS every other week at first, I switched to weekly pretty quick though. It's been about 5 years now, they usually want me to go get bloodwork once or twice a year

[fuckin-sick-bih]

i hate the days when i desperately want to write but nothing i like comes out of my attempts at writing :( (side note i do make the "just bex talkin" tag so you guys can block it and ignore my rambling in tags if you want my writing but not my bitching lmao)
