Okay seriously what is it with the "straight a student popular girl adored by everyone as the most beautiful and most caring and helpful actually resents everyone around her and the pedestal she's been put on and fake smiles her way through the day" always having PURPLE HAIR??
(Also she's comphet lesbian-coded -> "Little Miss Perfect" vibes LMAO)

and yet there's no human in my reflection
hello again isatheads! I have returned with a siffrin + loop playlist full of metaphors and imagery that probably only I will understand. enjoy some self-loathing jams that will keep getting longer over time cause I never know when to stop adding songs lmao

About people on this site hating transmen, I wanted to say I'm transfem (although extremely closeted) (red state, and not independent...) but like I delayed coming to that realization for a longer time than I should have because it seemed like every time I looked at a popular transfem blogger on this site they just hated transmen so it kind of pushed me away because I didn't feel that way... It really bothers me because I have a lot of transmasc mutuals (and finally found non-infighting wonderful transfem mutuals as well) and I love all them, and am genuinely really bothered by the infighting that just... I don't understand the purpose of or what it accomplishes other than making us easier targets... Anyways from this #girl <3 you transmen and mascs!
WE LOVE YOU TOO!!! and i totally get where youre coming from, its a good thing you didnt let it completely stop you because i cannot stress enough how this infighting bullshit is EXTREMELY online
I've had trans women and transfeminine people in my life for years, including childhood friends, and not once has this been something that created any tension between me and them or between them and their other transmasculine friends. i started taking very long recurring breaks from tumblr circa 2018 and when i came back and actually started engaging with other users again i noticed that tumblr developed an immense bubble/echo chamber problem since then, specifically with jaded trans and gay people.
i definitely think a lot of the downright extreme discourse opinions we're seeing are a result of too much time spent surrounded by the same group of very similar people constantly patting each others asses over escalating resentful 'takes' that they posted for validation in the first place. it's a vicious cycle that encourages more and more resentment and bitterness..
i don't think these people are inherently bad or malicious, i think they're misguided and stuck in a feedback loop with an antisocial coping mechanism. if i could talk to them now i would urge them to go outside more and look at people in their eyes more often, even if the people they see aren't necessarily queer. just being exposed to other people in the real world and their multifaceted lives can do a lot to keep you from always assuming the worst about others, and it's a nice reminder that you're not the protagonist of life or gay people.

Right now the way im listening to (for the first time) Everywhere at The End of Time is actually not entirely depressing. Someone lamented that it's a reminder of how our bodies do what it wants beyond our will. But studying biology, theories on the beginning of life, and me having a disorder that messes with memory among a multitude of other things that pretty much dictates my entire life, give me an appreciation of how life, biologically speaking, is just a result of dumb crazy fucking luck. And, yeah, most people are a lot luckier when it comes to biology i.e. not having disorders, but I guess that's crazy in itself. Listening to the story of a deteriorating mind, I don't think of it as the body misbehaving against our will, but appreciate how long it lasts anyway, with so many things in our bodies fighting to defend itself and you for so many years, having its last valiant efforts against breaking down like old machinery. An old computer.

Amidst the absolute joy of going nose deep into my interests, I get a lot of visceral-reaction moments where I get walloped with that crushing 'oh my god, I'm a complete embarrassment' feeling. However there is so much value in bringing forward another mode of operation: until there's explicitly stated to be a problem, operate under the assumption that there is none. TLDR quit assuming everyone thinks you're a colossal weirdo. Trust your friends' taste if you can't trust your own
I don't know, wouldn't it be nice to not care so much and just frolic a little in what you love every now and then? You can absolutely do it, it's free, and all the energy one spends worrying about how acceptable they are is energy better spent elsewhere. You're already accepted, you don't have to prove that you belong, and I hope you find happiness in more little things this year

nothing quite like realizing "oh my vocabulary is irreparably damaged" quite like playing Spirit of Justice and calling Gaspen Payne "girl" the second he says some bullshit.
"girl" isn't a gendered term when said in exasperation, it's just a word. full italics.

Sombra text: For the record, I refuse to get into any small submarines. Mauga text: Wouldn't it be a big submarine for you? Reaper text: Wouldn't it be a regular submarine for you? Widow text: Wouldn't it be a normal sized submarine for you? Sombra text: You all can got to hell!
Hey I think this is as topical as the next guy but I'm not South Park. Like, yeah I think it's absolutely wild to be ridiculously rich and die from catastrophic implosion at the bottom of the ocean because you're bolted into in a metal tube (THAT HASN'T BEEN ASSESSED BY ANY GOVERNING PARTIES TO MEET ANY INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS OF SEAWORTHINESS) that's controlled by a third-party knockoff xbox controller, but you're not going to see me make Overwatch characters talk about it.
