#.i have been thinking about this SO much ngl

[milessunflowers]

okay very much inspired by your fic today of drivers crashing into you

can i request reader with maybe haas and/or the aston martin boys and reader gets into a crash, and has burns on his hands and is scared to let his bf see or hold his hand cause he’s worried they’re gonna be disgusted by them and just reassuring boyfriends haha

🥄 <3

imma do the haas boys with this one bc i love them so so much (ill do it poly then separately)

esteban ocon x male!reader x ollie bearman (together and seperate)

synopsis: after a crash that practically ended your career, you had been insecure about the burns that was left behind. they ran up your hands and arms, some lighter burn scars being present on your face. and no matter what you say or think about yourself, your boyfriend(s) are always there to remind you of how brave and handsome you are.

author's note: i need to start writing more for bearcon and gabico ngl like i love both of them sm and hardly see anything. (maybe i should start posting fics abt them on ao3?) if yall have any reqs for them send them in!

BEARCON!

they were by your side the moment you were taken out of the car and taken straight to the hospital. they refused to leave your side for days, only taking small breaks to get each other food, to shower, or to sleep. after you were discharged, things became a bit...weird. you tried to avoid your boyfriends. it worried ollie and esteban. you had never been this distant before, not for this long anyways. you wouldn't even let them help you change out bandages.

you only wanted to be left alone and do things by yourself. you stayed in the guest bedroom down the hall from them. you locked yourself in there most of the time. you hated the way you looked now, the burns and scars left made you feel like you weren't you anymore. it took you weeks just to let them back in. you tried to hide your face and hands, but it was no use at all. they would smile, kiss along your scars and praise you.

"you're so handsome," ollie would say, kissing one cheek while esteban gives you soft smiles and pecks on your other cheek.

"our pretty boy looks even prettier," esteban would add, making you flustered and feel secure enough to start making debuts back in the paddock. you wouldn't be racing for the rest of the season, but you would still go to support your loves, just like how they helped you to regain the confidence you once had.

ESTEBAN!

esteban had watched as your car stalled before catching on fire. he almost dnfed himself at the sight. he felt like his heart was being ripped directly from his chest. he was grateful that you weren't severely hurt, but he was still worried about the burns you sustained on your hands. he knew you already hated how shaky your hands are (totally not projecting), so this would be another challenge he would stand by you to help you through.

he helped you regain control of your hands, helped to reapply the burn creams needed as well as bandaging them, and, most importantly, reminding you over and over again how handsome and amazing you are. oftentimes, if he sees you just staring at your hands, he will grab them to place multiple kisses against them to make you giggle and smile. he always says cute little comments to make sure you aren't feeling down. he will write you little notes on the bandages to keep that beautiful smile on your face.

OLLIE!

he probably cried more than you did at the sight of the burns and scars that covered your hands and arms. you weren't so much as upset about them but rather disgusted. you hated the way they made your hands feel and look. it took getting used to but eventually you didn't hate them as much, not until ollie started helping you care for them properly.

seeing how careful and attentive ollie was when helping to rewrap them made you absolutely cry. he was confused as to why you were crying until you explained how loved he made you feel. that was the exact moment ollie got even more lovey about it. he'd kiss your hands and shoulders, your cheeks and nose, anywhere he could reach just to hear you laugh. he loved making sure you knew how loved you were and how badass he thought his boyfriend looked with all these scars. he even brags about it to the other rookies how his boyfriend looks the coolest.

Meltdown.

♡ Been deeply thinking about the really early parts of the au, and I started writing this early in the morning today. Thought it was fitting - so this is the horrible crash out that happened when Shanon attempted to go back to work the first time. Shelly did let her go back the second time, don't fret, she didn't get fired because her fossil child had a panic attack and went feral for a bit ♡

ʚ Caretaker Shanon au is mine! ɞ

ᰔᩚ @soupiestzilla feast on this while I edit silly stuffs for you hehehe ᰔᩚ

⚠︎ Slight Blood Mention tw - it's literally just mentioned once idfk if this is necessary ngl ⚠︎

────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────

That morning... Was a rough morning. The toons were still adjusting, and Shanon knew it, but she kind of was running out of sick days. So, after a week of staying home to attempt to get them to at least feel safe at home, she had to go to work.

Well, try to.

She was currently standing in the middle of what could only be described as one of the worst toon related tantrum incidents of the century, her pants were ripped from the knee down, legs bleeding everywhere. Shelly had tried clawing her desperately to beg for her to stay home earlier, and now she was on an angry rampage because she was told no while Vee was shut down in a corner, shaking, breathing heavily, antennae in hands and being yanked on. She was not coping, and neither was Shelly as she threw another pillow like it had committed a war crime.

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU ABANDON ME AGAIN MOM! I JUST GOT YOU BACK!! YOU'RE NOT LEAVING!!!" Shelly screeched in uncharacteristic rage and fear, her body shaking hard from the overwhelming emotions she was faced with right now. Shanon blinked, having no idea how to even begin to handle this situation. She just barely dodged a vase Shelly threw, wincing when it hit the wall and shattered. Vee screamed like she was dying and hid behind the couch, Shanon sighed. She couldn't stay home, but she probably had to get her legs checked out from the excessive Shelly clawing they went through earlier.

"I'm not abandoning anyone, I will be back, I promise it's okay." Shanon attempted to reassure, just to get a shriek from Shelly as she kicked the table. Shanon rubbed her eyes exhaustedly, taking a deep breath to keep herself calm while Shelly had probably the worst crashout of her life in front of her. Vee sobbing and hiding wasn't helping much either, she wanted to desperately hold her and reassure her, but she couldn't. She didn't have long before work, but this needed to settle down before anyone got seriously hurt.

Other than herself.

She kinda was starting to feel a bit light headed, but she pushed on anyways and slowly approached the melting down fossil, then carefully picked her up from behind. Shelly just went limp, sobbing hysterically, breathing heavily and shaking like a leaf, her eyes huge and full of fear and pain. Shanon smiled a little as she walked to the couch with her, soon sitting down with her on her lap, putting a weighted blanket over her. Shelly attempted to say something but it just came out as a mess of sobs, hiccups and random sounds that were horrid attempts to say anything. Shanon just grabbed a tissue and started cleaning up Shelly's face, wiping her tears and sweat gently, shushing her softly. It didn't help much, but she at least wasn't throwing things or screaming, now just a big puddle of sad. Shanon rubbed her back, letting the fossil cling to her and suck on her thumb like she always did, the fear from Shelly's eyes fading into pure exhaustion. Shanon just silently kept comforting her, watching her closely as she slowly simmered down from her meltdown, careful not to disturb her as she knew this was important. Shelly had to find a way to handle these emotions by herself after all, and it seemed like the weighted blanket helped a bit.

"Sorry..."

Shanon looked down at the fossil when the apology suddenly was muttered, now in shock. Usually she didn't get an apology from any kids she helped through meltdowns, so she genuinely was not expecting that.

"Oh, honey it's okay, it's not your fault you weren't helped with your emotions. You must feel a lot of them right now, don't you?" Shanon asked, getting the very much expected nod from the fossil. Shanon just smiled, pulling her just a little closer, kissing her head softly as a reminder she was right there. Shelly hiccupped once, tightened her grip, but didn't move much more. She was starting to doze off, exhausted from the massive explosion she had. Shanon couldn't even slightly blame her.

"Yeah, I figured, they aren't very fun, are they? You wanna talk about them sometime? Maybe we can start to know them better, ya know?" Shanon suggested casually, smiling when the shaking fossil yawned and closed her eyes slowly.

"Tomorrow..."

"It doesn't have to be this week, I promise, it can be anytime you feel okay enough to. I'm right here for you, it'll be okay." Shanon reassured, watching as Shelly fell right asleep. She then paused when she realized that she was passed out on her side, meaning she couldn't even move to attempt to go to work, then sighed.

"Oh my god... I did it again... I can't keep losing money though, I'd have to hope I still have paid vacation or something-" Shanon muttered as she pulled out her phone, not even realizing that Vee had crawled out of hiding and was calm herself too. Not until she heard the familiar sound of the first aid kit opening, then felt the same burning feeling someone who had a wound being cleaned up on her legs. Shanon sat up just a little and looked down, seeing Vee with waterproof gloves on, gently tending to her legs, tail tucked and a concerned expression on her screen.

"Oh, thank you, Vee. I forgot I put a first aid kit in here." Shanon admitted honestly, getting just a simple shrug in reply.

"Shut up." Vee mumbled.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, not until you're ready to chat." Shanon replied quietly, making Vee pause for a moment, then go back to work without a word. Once her legs were cleaned and bandaged up, Vee just silently left the room, so Shanon sighed as she looked at her phone again. Then she looked at Shelly, who was looking like she was finally peacefully resting after fighting a war, then she grabbed a pillow and put it behind her head and rested against it. She'll message her coworkers later, she was going to catch up on her sleep a little bit, the many sleepless nights of fending off nightmares for the two made her exhausted. She was asleep by the time Vee came back, but that didn't change anything. Vee just climbed onto the couch on the empty spot beside Shanon, loafed for the first time since she left Gardenview, put her monitor gently against Shanon's upper leg and closed her eyes. The trio were all sleeping soundly in no time, Shanon having an arm around both of them, even though she had absolutely no idea that was Vee snuggling with her.

She never would know, as Vee did leave before Shanon woke up, but it was always nice to know that Vee never truly hated her regardless if Shanon truly knew it herself.

Hello! I hope you are doing well. I have a few questions to ask, if you don't mind them.

How do you feel about LMK S5 and its finale ending? What do you think of Nine? Does he have a legit counterpart in Chinese mythology? If you aren't satisfied, how would have changed it?

Do you think LMK Sun Wukong would make for a good parent, your version that is? Not as a communal grandpa or a guardian/teacher, but an actual parent to his own child. I won't be surprise if Wukong got a direct child, spiritual deities' birth are weird, the baby could have just come from his by mitosis. I hope my ask is comprehensible.

May a kind week come to you, drink plenty of water and eat vegetables 🥦💦 ☀

Hi hi!!

Wow been a while since I came back on this blog, its all dusty TAT thank you for the questions btw! I always welcome them even if Ive been a beit derelict xD

welp. i watched it a while back, so mind you, my memories of the season are a bit wonky. that said, i do recall not caring for it in the slightest, even from episode 1 of it. talk about a fumble on so many levels. needless to say, basically of this season makes it to my au lololol

As for Nine, ngl i did not register who the hell he was supposed to be at all when I watched it. Turns out he *is* part of Chinese Mythology, but NOT from JTTW! The Nine-Headed Demon appears in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a wonderful catalogue of mythological beasts, and its super duper old! If youreever interested in mythological beasties and critters from Chinese mythology, thats a wonderful book to start with! Some creatures and myths from it do have connections with myths of Nuẅa. so its fair that they brought him in.

A clever enough reference, if anything, but not my jive cus I'm not that fond of the turn the season took. like at all. the way i would have changed it is. not even going there at all lmao

i do have a s5-like plot line that i meant to outline here. but iiiiii got distracted by other interests and never got to it. might as well do it now. and by "now" i mean later cus its like 4am for me and i should be asleep instead of answering oops? ill get to it i prommy ahbsashsbhdf

ANYWAY, funny you mention Wukong as a dad, cus on at least two JTTW sequels, he has kids!! Notably with Princess Iron Fan from when he went inside her in one of his several vore excursions, which, talk about family drama right there?? I havent personally read those books to verify his skills as a parent, they are a thing!

As for my Wukong? Hard to say. I think he would stick to his role as a mentor, which in some aspects is meant to supplant and replace your blood familial bonds. in fact, some of Nezha's early myths and narratives go around him replacing his old man for Buddha, and likewise a pupil's loyalty to their master is meant to be as strong as their filial bonds with their parents. so we are going into a territory that blurs the lines between western and confucian parameters of fatherhood.

that said, my au does focus on different filial relationships, particularly when it comes to MK and Hai'er. I've mentioned it before but I never got too into it, actually. when it comes to MK and Wukong in specific, Wukong reflects his own learning experience under Subodhi. its about adapting to the needs of your student and what kind of learning they seek from you, and in this case, there's a lot MK needs, esp after The Incident. he's supportive and reassuring, and very protective without falling into the 'helicopter parent' trap, especially cus he has no wish to replace either Pigsy or Tang as MK's fathers. likewise, MK doesn't see him as a father figure either.

likewise, i hope this reply made some sense too! wishing you much healthy sustenance and hidration as well <33

as for how MK is a celestial monkey and why? ............ill get back to yall when i post the Cintamani Arc plotline uwu <3

[striveattemptfail]

a cursed realization: wade and logan are old men. logan especially so.

they MUST have weird old man habits and general body weirdness. and not the endearing shit like preferring to use old school tech, or having a "get off my lawn, my favourite miscreants" kinda attitude, or being unable to keep up in sex, or any of that kinda cute stuff

i mean the unpleasant sweaty old man smell, having walking farts, snoring while awake, their stomachs just making noises for no goddamn reason bc their digestive systems are no longer 30 y/o

all of which they don't even realize they're doing bc they're old and either a) have more pressing things to worry about [at their age]; b) stopped giving a fuck; or c) both of the above

source: i live with two very old men (my dad and uncle). one is a few years away from retirement and the other is already at that age. they are family but they are still gross old men who act like drunk uncles given half the chance

and while neither logan or wade are in their 60s, these habits don't just magically appear once you hit that age. they begin long before that and accumulate over time until the stinky old man package is complete

"but jercy," you say, "they have perfect regeneration!! they can't have any health problems!! they're too self-conscious to be that gross!!"

1: (re: perfect regeneration) that is an even worse argument for wade, who has mega cancer and canonically does not smell pleasant or have a properly functioning body. he'd 100% have old man problems as a symptom of his cancer bc his mutation is physically keeping him in a constant state of dying. everything he does is out of sheer stubbornness and willpower to make a joke out of his life

1b: to play on a popular headcanon: any aromatic, artificial fruity skincare routine he has can easily be used as a reason for him to cover up his old man smell

2: see point B above for logan

2b: see the movie, logan (2017), or the comic, death of wolverine (2014), for the fact that logan can canonically age/die. albeit it's at a vastly slower pace than everyone else, but it means logan WILL eventually have these issues with his body too, if he doesn't have them already

2c: feral/animalistic logan who takes on animal traits would be so much worse bc wolverines are called "skunk bears" for a reason. wolverines (and any wildlife/animal that you can compare logan to) fucking STINK!! they have EVEN GROSSER ANIMAL HABITS!! you just gotta accept it

3: (re: self-consciousness) you got a point there, but once again refer to point B. most folks i know at their age are on their way to or have already stopped caring about what others think of them. and even if wade and logan are somehow the exceptions to this, i'm sure they let loose in private and probably indulge in their grosser habits when they're alone

4: if you want biblically accurate old man yaoi you're gonna have to contend with the fact that it comes with the non-sexy old man problems. i'm sorry i have to break the illusion but this is the reality we must face together

5: suspension of disbelief, friends. do engage with that once in a while lol

in conclusion: i unfortunately have every bit of confidence that wade and logan are not exempt from old man behaviours and bodily functions and i will die whining about it. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)

exactly like that! though she's not the only one...

edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

whats your favorite way to beat the summer heat with your f/o? do you guys like to go out for ice cream, hang out at the pool or the beach? maybe just staying home with all the fans blasting and trying not to melt?

[casualavocados]

Learn from who? Learn from you? You are still a brat. What do you know? You're only three years older. Like you are any better than me. You're 21, and still a virgin. What are you proud of? I think you can't do it.

KISEKI: DEAR TO ME Ep. 06

[bonetrousledbones]

i am sending this ask to a bunch of people. the reason is that i am curious. here it is.

what is your favorite thing about Papyrus in undertale?

do you think Papyrus will be important in deltarune?

what do you think will be Papyrus' role in deltarune?

what do you think of the "Papyrus is the Knight" theory?

what do you think his age will be? adult or teenager? (kid is not an option cus it would be stupid and no fun)

in what chapter do you think he will show up?

if Papyrus is the Knight do you think he will be nice or evil?

if Papyrus is the Knight do you think he knows what the Roaring is?

you are the fourth person i am sending this to.

well lucky you, you caught me in a rambling mood!

i talked more about this a lil while ago now, but to me the biggest appeal of papyrus is that i relate to him a whole lot, lol. his specific form of loneliness where he's very clearly trying really fucking hard and clearly doing all the things people say you're "supposed" to do to try to make friends, but it's just. not working, for whatever reason. it's a pretty hard-hitting feeling for me and it hits deep, and while it's not necessarrily a good feeling, it's definitely my favorite part of Papyrus if only for how well communicated and "real" it is.

putting the rest under a cut because it's gonna get long lol

when it comes to deltarune, my biggest thought towards it since way back in 2018 has been "i don't have any way of knowing what the hell is going on in that dog's brain." so i don't tend to speculate on the game very much outside of fun hypotheticals! i've honestly never been much of a theorist, i prefer letting everybody else be crazy while i'm just sitting back and letting things play out in their own time.

personally, i'd say it'd be nice for papyrus to have a big important role, but in full honesty i do have some doubts about how likely that actually is. for one, he's very much rooted in being a comic-relief character, so he very rarely seems to be written seriously in general, and for two, i don't think he would have much actual weight?

like, we know him as a character from undertale, and papyrus fans might know how mysterious he is, but most of the fandom doesn't see him as mysterious at all. on top of that, the characters in deltarune have no connection to him whatsoever. he's not one of their classmates, or neighbors they grew up with, or anything like that- he's just the grocery store clerk's shut-in little brother who nobody has ever met.

but, again, that brings me back around to "i don't know what's happening in that dog's brain." maybe they'll finally get to hang out with him & he'll become more involved in the story, or maybe he won't ever show up at all! idk!

naturally, all of that applies to my opinion on knight papyrus, too- it would be awesome and so so so so cool if it turns out to be real, but with the issue of nobody knowing him except sans, my faith in it gets a little dimmed. i do think the amount of hints that could connect him to it have been crazy, though, since most of them genuinely don't even feel like that much of a reach. i'll still be pulling out my cork board and red string whenever i possibly see a chance, rest assured

i really want him to be college-aged, ideally the same age as Asriel. one, so they can be besties obviously, and two, because if he suddenly becomes an underage character after ten years of papyrus fans fighting back against rampant infantilization i am going to fucking lose it

my own headcanon until we get to actually see him is that he's much more nervous, borderline agoraphobic, and much more awkward since he hasn't met any of the people that he very likely gained a lot of his personality from in undertale. considering he spends all his time in a dark undecorated house, the angst-loving part of me genuinely really hopes he's not just gonna be written the same as we're used to, lol

and sadly- judging from the previews we've seen of chapters 3-4, and the fact that they'll most likely take place in kris's house and then the church, i have some doubts that we'll see papyrus on june 5th :(. then again, the light world sections are apparently long enough to need their own save points, so maybe that's a good sign too! i'm personally not getting my hopes up, but it'd be a very nice surprise if we see him at all before chapters 5-7, even if it's just a really quick cameo or something :>

and finally, as for what he would be like as the knight & if he would know about the roaring, i actually thought about this some time ago too! i think he could know about the roaring and even actively be trying to cause it, but i don't think that makes him evil, per se. he doesn't know anyone in this town except his brother, making him even more desperately lonely than he was in undertale, and he's not even trying to overcome it this time around.

so, i think he'd get too attached to the fact that darkners literally have to like lightners and want to be their friends, and he'd want to cause the roaring either to be able to live in a world like that forever, or to then stop it himself and make friends by becoming a "hero." i can imagine him being not evil, and honestly not even all that bad (if you ignore the "casting the world into darkness to maybe make some friends" part), just really, really desperate.

Happy One Year Anniversary to Boy King AU!!!! 🎉

Okay wait before I start talking, look at these close ups and the process!! Aren't they so beautiful aaaahhhh

Wow, can you believe it’s really been a whole entire year since my very first post about this AU? Well technically I first started talking about the statuette a day earlier, but the very first sketch was exactly a year ago!! Let us not forget the incredibly prophetic tag on that post: “also in the sense of this au i think the only ship that would work(historically accurate wise) is Vettonso.” Who knew that after that my entire life would devolve into vettonso, this specific period of history, and the lovely combo which is Boy King AU. Also wow this means it’s taken me almost a whole entire year to actually draw a joint portrait of them hahaha. I drew this sketch around the beginning of the AU, but never finished it. It’s fine though because this one is a lot better, and I’m in love with it. Took me a year to draw a couple portrait, and took me almost a whole entire month to finish said piece. 

Okay let me explain this piece, which I am very obsessed with!!! I dragged the process out more than I usually would, but I’m glad, because it was so enjoyable. But also look at that fucking crown, no wonder this took almost a month. Usually I’d write like 50 paragraphs detailing the characterization. HOWEVER! I’ve spent over a month writing little bits of characterization, mostly for fun, but also in preparation for this very post. A lot of the earlier ones, I had this drawing in mind, thinking on how I could expand on the ideas I was drawing. Though there’s definitely some things I could still write about. I’ll probably continue to write more Lore a Days, but yeah, they basically amounted to this drawing where you can actually see the characterization I was talking about displayed. Anyways, here are the explanations of bits in the drawing:

First of all, this is some part of the long process of their wedding. Look at the married couple!! Look at their rings!!!

Okay, but why are there two, almost identical looking pieces?? Because look at their hands!! I talked a lot about how Fernando is the one to give out affection more easily, especially in public, where he knows he can easily fluster Seb. He’s acting all grumpy and out of it, I mean to be fair, it’s probably been such a long ceremony across weeks. But he notices Seb is out of it too, just better at keeping his smile (let’s be honest, even if he’s distracted, he’s super smug.) So Fernando catches him off guard by squeezing his hand. Before that, as you can see, Fernando is just resting his hand on Seb’s outstretched palm, like that one scene from Succession. Very: yes I’m getting married, but I’m not happy about it. The combination of Fernando refusing to even touch him more than lightly beforehand but now going full force, them being in public, and Seb already being distracted catches Seb so off guard he has to try to cover his blush with his fan. He thought Fernando was being super impolite, but now he’s the impolite one!! Getting all blushy and giggly over a simple display of affection, perhaps even ha-

So. Their crowns. Seb’s wearing the crown of Austria, because he is in fact only a king still! Also, because I really wanted to try drawing it after I wimped out of it before in this drawing. Fernando’s a king as well by the point, but the fact he’s wearing only a tiara-like hairpiece is to represent how much of an outsider he still is. At this moment, he’s just Seb’s wi- ,I mean husband, to all these guests. Of course this bitch wears a black veil instead of a white one, to signal that he’s mourning the loss of his autonomy and personhood. Don’t worry too much about his mental state though, considering he’s not depressed enough to be able to resist teasing Seb. 

The fan, oh my god. Back in this era, people would gift/make fans for basically any occasion. To symbolize an event, to celebrate something, to show a story, etc etc. I wish I could have drawn something more narrative, but I think the bull vs. horse is good enough. Also you can see those same symbols on the pendants they’re wearing!! I’m so happy when I can fit irl, modern stuff like that into these drawings, it feels so clever!!

It’s so funny, I wrote a lore a day from a prompt about what they’d be like when doing a joint portrait, while I was already almost through painting a dual portrait of my own! So I got to explain some stuff like their clothing colors and poses before I even posted this. I feel very coy about that still honestly. 

Hmmm what else? It feels so weird to not expand on the characterization, considering I already did it for myself weeks in advance. I can’t imagine what it’s like opening this read more, and seeing more than 10 in-text citations. Happy reading!!!

 Happy anniversary to  this wonderful, crazy AU that makes me download 500pg German papers about 18th century etiquette. I drew a couple pieces of fanart before this AU, but I definitely think it jumpstarted my insanity about drawing/making AUs, and literally is what made me insane about Vettonso in the first place. Remember, if I hadn’t learned about Joseph I/Charles VI, most of my blog probably wouldn’t exist in it's current form. Thank you if you’ve stuck around since the beginning, or if you’re even just learning about it now!! It’s so incredibly niche but I’ve had so much fun researching and building this world and these characterizations, and I hope you’ve enjoyed what I’ve made in the process. I hope I can draw/write many more things in the future. I think next, I’m gonna maybe open up requests. I’d like to try to either write ficlets or draw chibi comics about specific Lore a Day posts on request. I think that’d be a lot of fun, but also will probably kill me. We’ll see!! Anyways. PPlease enjoy this absolute labor of love, which is a result of a year’s worth of work.

[stiffyck]

Can we talk about how Karen definitely has some sort of PTSD because you can't just wake up one day with a knife and bloody hands and a dead coworker on your carpet one and then be fine. You don't get arrested and then almost strangled to death while in custody and be fine. You don't get kidnapped and threatened and then kill someone in self defense and be fine.

Oh my god can we PLEASE talk about Karen and her trauma oh my GOD.

happy TDoV!

i was lucky enough to be able to give a sermon at a local church yesterday about trans identities and religion, and how so many transphobic beliefs are indicative of an unwillingness to change how people see others. how i'd seen enough hatred already, and how i and other transgender people aren't monsters. we're just people who want to live, like anyone else.

i had the incredible opportunity to humanize this community in front of a room of people who hadn't seen us as anything more than a debate topic.

i was also lucky enough to be preceded by a transgender woman who had been in trans spaces since the only day we had was a day of remembrance.

she spoke about how scary it was to be visible, and how she'd been in danger many, many times just trying to make the world a little safer for others like her. and how she was incredibly happy to have the life she did, even if it came with its own unique challenges.

as people try and put us back in that space, where just being visible is incredibly dangerous, it's more important than ever that we have each other's backs.

being visible is dangerous. it's okay if you don't want to be visible right now. but we are a community, and sometimes all we have is each other.

so on this transgender day of visibility, please be kind. please remember that we all face our own unique challenges, that none of us are less worthy of love or care or respect than any other, and that it is the responsibility of all of us who can to protect and care for the most vulnerable of us.

be brave, be strong, but most importantly, be safe. i love you.
