as millennial trans women enter their 40s and Gen X trans women enter their 60s, we, as a community, are beginning to resolve decades of cultural discontinuity born of mass death and social expulsion. We must respond with joy: stop defining a "hot older woman" as someone in her 30s

thinking about trying to do rangeland firefighting for at least one summer while I’m still in my 20s with derangements that make me love toiling like a medieval peasant but in order to do it next summer I would need to undergo a second, less illegal and contentious but some would say more difficult transition with my body. theatre kid to jock

Pac: The server opens, Araldo appears, and he is different, he removes the mask, and a bald man we all know says "OIIII! Bom dia, bom dia, bom dia!"

Pac: It would be too powerful, it would be too powerful, right? That is my- that is my HC [headcanon]. "Bom dia, bom dia, bom dia, calma calma calma calma, bom dia, bom dia!"

[He tries and fails to log onto the server again, and continues singing along to the background music (muted in the VOD)]

Pac: He just says "Minas Gerais." Wouldn't that be absolute cinema? "Tio Fabio, Tio Fabio. Tio Fabio!" Do you remember him saying that?

I've very openly been extremely derisive towards the popularity contest model of fandom - yeah polls are fun, but if your fave loses to someone of equal importance within their narrative you should calm the fuck down - but what gets me is when people are like THIS SHIP HAS 7000 FICS AND MINE ONLY HAS 4000. did you read all 11000 fics. were all of them good. were any of them good. or do you just throw a fit whenever you're not "winning" because my parents got me to stop doing that when I was like four years old.

People who live in cities will be like "I don't know, that's so far to drive . . . I mean it's practically all the way across the city . . ." and they're talking about something 18 minutes away

Finally in my little gremlin hands. Can't wait to read it tonight!!

the ppl that complain abt updates are actually so bewildering to me bc im literally 2k words into my fic and it has taken SO LONG 😞 not to mention the fact that no matter how long i wait for your updates, i truly never get bored because i js come on your tumblr everyday to see what you guys have been posting on here and it 100% makes up for the long awaited updates (not that you have anything to make up for anyway) you guys are truly SO incredible for what you do bc i could NEVER 😭 i literally talked to my friend abt ur fic and how the waits are usually long (wasn’t complaining abt it) and she was like “oh my god i could never wait that long for a fic” and i immediately came to your defense and was like “yeah but it’s okay bc the long ass chapters always make up for it and the fact that they post on tumblr almost daily”

prefacing my accidental ramble by saying that if we ever seem disproportionately annoyed at something someone said then it’s definitely because it is not disproportionate to Us!! little comments and things like that add up over time, so it’s rarely about just that one thing someone says and absolutely more of an overarching pattern that gets tiring really fast. and not to dredge everything back up again bc it’s rare that we get someone being super weird and rude outright about longer or delayed update times but we get soooo so many asks or comments etc like the one thea answered earlier which just include little remarks that come off as just passive aggressive and just kind of kill the vibe of getting a really nice message?? very much like “oh i miss when we only had to wait a couple weeks for updates but your fic is so good!” or “this was so good but don’t know how im going to wait months for the next chapter :(“ and just stuff like that which gets pretty frustrating over time, especially when they’re coming from people who blew through a 30k update in like 45 minutes lol. we see so much of this over on twt especially, maybe because we’re not as active there and people are not saying it To Us so they think we don’t see it but there’s also a lot of likeeeeee “i want to start acswy but im Traumatized by authors abandoning their fics so im just waiting until they’re done” or “i want to catch up but the update intervals are so long😭” and that sort of thing which is also just kind of frustrating to see come up over and over again, esp bc sometimes people have actually said that to us? like in our inbox??? for some entirely unknown reason??? like why are you telling us on this blog that you don’t want to read our fic until it’s done. good luck getting through 500k in one sitting then idk what to tell you 🤷🏽‍♀️

anyways all that to say thank you so much for your message of support it’s very much appreciated! sometimes the demands (even if they’re said as a joke) and little side comments that are slipped into really nice messages can def make us feel like our readers see as us people who are putting out a product and not people who are just trying to share a passion project with our little corner of the internet, but we also know that most of you are not like that and especially the people who regularly interact w this blog and send in asks and comments are so lovely! thank you for coming to our defense 🫡

One thing I really love is that same school sports teams that would forfeit games because they would be playing against my black siblings are now the same teams forfeiting games because one of my trans siblings are playing on them.

Nothing says "standing up for the Bible" quite like treating other people differently than you'd want them to treat you, boy howdy. Really makes one proud to see the name of Christ printed everywhere but the printers' own fucking hearts.

(you heard me right; has your family disowned you for being trans? fuck 'em, they can burn in hell, they know they deserve to burn in hell for it, the Lord has given them over to their delusions. I consider you as my family; you have a (goofy, non-creepy) uncle now. feel free to drop me a line for irrelevent advice or goofy jokes or heartfelt words of encouragement.

You are valid. You are worthy of love. Even if it's just from some internet rando who never really fit in anywhere he went, you fit in with me. Spite is just as valid a reason to stick around as anything else, we'll hate on the motherfuckers together. I'll bring my SNES. I got Bomberman and Mario Kart)
