theres actually no rules to transitioning and youre allowed to want contradictory things for your transition. it's fine if you only want some of the changes that come with hrt and take preventative measures for the rest (like wanting bottom growth but not body hair or vice versa). you can want to have vagina AND a dick. you can be a woman and want top surgery, or wear a packer. you can be a man and want to have a pussy. you can change your transition goals one or a million times or not have any goals at all and just take things as they come or as they feel right.

there are no rules.

got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me

“you can’t have alters without DID!”

“you can’t use a wheelchair if your legs work!”

“you can’t sneeze without covid!”

“you can’t cough without strep throat!”

“you can’t have trouble seeing unless your blind!”

do you hear yourself

I just honestly think “sysmed” is a better term than “anti-endo” because they’re not just against endogenic systems.

They’re against traumagenic non-disordered systems.

They’re against traumagenic systems who are disordered by something other than a CDD.

They’re against traumagenic CDD systems who support endogenic systems.

They’re against traumagenic plurality if the trauma happened as an older child, teen or adult.

Some are even against traumagenic CDD systems if that CDD isn’t DID or OSDD (and sometimes OSDD doesn’t even count to them).

They’re not just anti-endogenic. They genuinely believe that everyone who doesn’t 100% agree with them are faking or enabling faking.

It’s more accurate to say they’re system medicalists (“sysmeds”) because they aim to pathologize (medicalize) plurality as a whole and leave out everyone who doesn’t have a dissociative disorder (and even some who do). Yes they are anti-endo but they're also anti-DID if it fits their narrative.

Tbh this is probably my fav quote tbh. I like the idea of roman trying to comfort Remus.

But it genuinely looks like Roman has absolutely 0 clue about what he’s supposed ti be doing. As if he’s never done this before. Which is 100% probably true.

Tbh I can’t really see Remus even being like this all that much unless he was pushed so far. Roman has never seen anything like this so he doesn’t even know how or comfort him.

(I lost words on how to describe it so yeah lol)

And tbh I think the switch to mascara is kind of big brain??? (Ik it was for comedic purposes but still lol) switching the convo to a more comedic side could be romans way of comforting Remus by distracting Remus from what had happened bt kind of trying to make him laugh?/confused lol.

Here's the original quote

Chronic pain pisses me off cause I'm not even incapacitated for like a cool or badass reason instead my body is throwing the world's biggest temper tantrum because it's raining outside

hey kids did you know that computers didn't used to automatically connect to the internet. it used to make this screaming noise. we should have listened.

i will always cheer for girldick but i don't think we talk about how cool bottom surgery is enough. they can just. build a vagina? where there wasn't one before? it's been possible for decades? that's incredible, shout-out to all post op girlies i hope you're having the time of your life with that.

I know it's not people's faults for not knowing, but I still get extremely annoyed at people saying stuff like "why are ghosts always represented by sheets? I guess people used to just be scared of sheets."

They aren't ghosts because they're covered in a sheet, they're covered in a sheet because back in the day, they wrapped dead bodies in sheets when they buried them. The ghosts are wrapped in burial shrouds because that's what they were buried in.

People weren't scared of sheets, they were scared of the corpse UNDER the sheet.

I was thinking about that post that’s like “put what your accent is in the tags” and I was looking up maps to see like… what the actual name of my accent would be

But instead I found this, which is possibly the best map ever made

Remus: Just read the word "fussy" and went "wait, which hole is that?"

My interpretation of light side Remus since I think Remus just looking like Roman but being green doesn’t really sit right tbh lol.

I think he a Roman would have a way healthier relationship since the whole reason Roman doesn’t want to befriend Remus is because he’s respect less, doesn’t care how others feel and just acts villainous.

I think if Remus ever turned a light side Roman would definitely try and be closer to him. But I can see Remus just kind of pushing him away due to him being not intrusive in this scenario lol

(This is kind of an au where Remus got accepted before Vee)

I can see them turning into garroth(Roman) and Zane(Remus) from Aphmau the lol.

Tbh I've never seen Remus as not caring, he's just really good at brushing off negativity. He doesn't mind being the villain if it means he's helping, in his own way.

I can definitely see him trying to keep some distance from Roman, because Roman can be high-strung and difficult (no hate towards the prince) Not that I can blame Roman for wanting to be closer—Remus is the ultimate hypeman and Roman needs the hype
