hot take but “kill all men” and similar proclamations that all men are evil and inherently bad is not feminist and is only making things worse, pushing men to become like Andrew Tate. it is also removing accountability from men who are actually bad; “you can’t get mad at me, it’s in my nature!”
you are not helping anyone. not yourself, not women, not men. you are just hurting actual good people while the people you are trying to hurt are enabled. you are not turning people away from misogyny, you are pushing them towards it.
hating all men is not cool. it is not feminist. no issue is solved by simply reversing who is being affected.

Heyo! So as some folks have noticed its gotten harder to mark blogs red on shinigami eyes. I've found some ways around it, thought I should spread the word.
Most blogs, when you pull them up on your dash, will have @(username) / (username).tumblr.com under their header. On these you can right click on the (username).tumblr.com bit and mark them as pro/anti-trans. Their urls might show up red/green on posts, possibly depending on where you view it. I think they always have a red/green outline to their profile pic, but I'm not sure.
Some blogs have turned this feature off, so under their header it will only say @(username). For these blogs, go to the circle button with the ellipsis in it. On blogs with these settings turned on, it will be next to the 'send a gift' and 'send a message' buttons. Click on the ellipsis button, and at the top it should say Archive. you can right click on that, and it will let you mark as pro/anti-trans as usual. Unfortunately, their urls won't show up red/green in posts, so in order to check you'll have to pull up the ellipsis menu.
Some blogs have Archives turned off, so the option won't appear in the ellipsis menu. I'm trying to see if I can find a way to tag them regardless, and will update the post if I do.
UPDATE: Found the setting that determines if blogs can be marked or not! Turns out if you have "enable custom theme" turned off, you can't be marked, because you dont have a (username).tumblr.com page OR an archive! If you're a trans ally and want to make sure your blog can be marked green, make sure this setting is turned on!
I found out about this setting through this post, very grateful it crossed my dash :]
Update 12/5: FANTASTIC NEWS! Tumblr appears to have unfucked itself!
As of 12/5 Shinigami Eyes appears to be working as intended on Tumblr again! Would love if someone else could corroborate on this but it seems Tumblr changed something that makes the extension work again!

"You can't be a lesbian if you X!"
Yes. Yes you can.
"B-but they're males! (Referring to trans women)"
No, they're not.
"B-but they're males! (Referring to trans men)"
Ok, if said trans man feels comfortable being in a lesbian relationship then why are you gonna stop them? What are you, a cop?
Also, Bi Lesbians have been a thing since the goddamned '70s.
"B-but YOU'RE a man!"
If you're referring to trans women, no. Just... fuck off and delete your blog.
If you're referring to trans men, SO WHAT? Gender fuckery in lesbians has been a thing for DECADES! Gender complexity in lesbians is a common thing! You can't always draw a hard line between a butch lesbian and a trans man, you can't ignore a bigender person's complexity just 'cause they have a masculine gender as well as other ones (which CAN be masc-aligned as well), you can't shove away genderfluid people when their gender shifts into masculine territory, and if you aren't willing to recognize these nuances in YOUR OWN community, then you need to shut the fuck up about people.

Rest Your Eyes
Ship: male!yn x The Corinthian
Desc: Yn has a nightmare and wakes up in a cold sweat. Cori helps him calm down and go back to sleep.
You were running. From what? You didn't know. Just kept going. Keep running and running and running. Something was chasing you. You knew that much. Something wanted you and was going to get you so you had to keep running. You didn't even think to look around the hall you were running down. All you knew was that the door to your freedom was getting further and further away with each desperate step.
You ran as hard and fast as your legs could take you till they gave out, causing you to tumble into a bookshelf you had passed a dozen times.
You pulled your knees up to your chest, hiding your face away into your knees. Choking out soft broken cries for your safety.
You felt a presence, you heard the floorboards creak as something stepped closer to you. A hand rested on your back.
¨no more of this. It's over now.¨ a familiar monotone voice said but you refused to look up.
¨ Look at me. It is time to go.¨
¨No, please. No more.¨
You let out a blood curdling scream as pain enveloped your body.
You shot up, a cold sweat dripping down your forehead.
That nightmare played over and over in your head. The same ordel night after night. It was hard to get to sleep in the first place. You dreaded hearing the stranger's voice. The few times you did look up you were met with a shadow of a figure with two wide eyes staring back at you and teeth turned into a twisted smile. As if Dream was punishing you for… well…
You heard something shift next to you. Looking over, you saw the blond that had been ¨hiding out¨ in your apartment. Except he really wasn't hiding out, was he?
He looked peaceful. You didn't know nightmares could sleep yet here he was. He wasn't really a nightmare to you though. A charmer and a gentleman. A sweetheart.
He wasn't wearing his sunglasses but his eyes were closed. After about two or three months of living together, you caught him without his sunglasses on. He had to explain the whole Dream world and Nightmares and Morphus and his ordeal. You already knew about his… activities… but you didn't really care. As long as he cleaned up the carpet. This whole Nightmare thing was just frosting on the cake, per say.
After you saw him without his glasses, he started being more genuine to you. He was more careful around you. Treating you as if you were a fine art. He would compliment you more often, pulling you closer to him while the two of you watched movies, preparing food.
From that, stemmed dates. The first time he asked you out, you nearly screamed yes. You didn't know how to tell him you wanted to go out, so thank god he made the first move.
Dates where the usual kind of boyfriend boyfriend dates. Dinners, movies, arcades, the beach, trips.
Then you met Dream. He was a lot less scary than you had first thought and he was a lot more tired. Makes sense though. You had practically begged on your hands and knees for Dream to let The Corinthian stay around. Must have worked, because he made a deal with the two of you. As long as The Corinthian did not harm anybody innocent, Morphous wouldn't bother us.
It was all domestic fluff from then on with the occasional scolding Cori about keeping the rug clean.
The sheets beside you shifted again and a long groan was let out.
The Corinthian flipped over on his back, usually he would use his arm to cover the sun from his eyes or eye mouths but it was still dark out.
"Darlin?" he blinked his eyes open. "what time is it?"
"uh… 3 in the morning." you sighed, rubbing your temples.
He sat up, streshing his arms up in to the air. "why are you up?"
"nightmare." you said simply, pulling your knees up to your chest and looking away.
"nightmare? Want to talk about it? I know a thing or two about nightmares." he chuckled.
"i was running down a long hall. The door kept getting further and further away. Then i tripped and some void thing caught up with me. Then i was in a lot of pain." you layed back down. Corinthian smiled, leaning on to one hand so he was looking over you.
"You are so pretty when you are tired."
You let out a audible groan, rolling your eyes. "Cori." You whined.
He just laughed and layed back down, pulling closer with his arm wrapped around you and his other behind his head.
You layed your head on his bare chest, tracing circles in to his skin.
"Do you want me to see if I can do anything about thoughs nightmares? Talk to Morpheus?" He asked, gently rubbing your arm with his finger tips.
"Would you? As long it's not to far out your way."
"Oh sweet boy, if you need me to do anything then it isnt too far out."
"You are too good to me, Cori" You hummed, letting your eyes flutter close.
"Whatever you say... rest your eyes, try and get some sleep."
You yawned, letting the warmth of sleep and Cori rock you to sleep.
Corinthian stayed up a little bit, making sure that you were dreaming of him.
