#40s housewife

[geeky-politics-46]

Has anyone watched Shining Vale? Spent the last 2 days binging it & now all I can think about is a story...

*mild spoiler warning*

with Bucky or Steve where the reader gets possessed by a dead 40's/50's housewife, chaos, smut, & maybe a bit of evil ensues.

some musings on transmasc mulan:

i think the reason why Reflection & mulan as a trans man is impactful to me is the fact that mulan appears as a woman and has the social role of a woman. i love rep of transmascs who are fully transitioned/present masc or male! but ive thought a lot about the erasure & invisibility of transmascs throughout history. the bits of our history we do have tend to be people who had the ability to pass as men, but there were undoubtedly so many trans men&mascs who lived as women, who could not pass well enough to live full-time as a man, who were wives and mothers! and idk i find it really impactful to read Reflection as the pain of a trans man in the closet, or who doesn't even realize that being a man is a Thing they can Do. i love how it touches on the pain of failing to be a woman. i think part of it is how often people want to dissociate trans men from misogyny, or at least control how we are "supposed" to relate to it. again, the mainstream (queer) narrative around transmasc history (and present) is trans men who could/can pass as cis men, who live their lives fully stealth. but there are and always have been many transmascs who live as women, most or all of the time, and who have to struggle with the demands of misogyny to be good daughters/wives/mothers, and the knowledge that to be a trans man would make you such a disgrace and disappointment ("if i were truly to be myself, i would break my family's heart"). i think its important to give a voice to the trans men past and present who live as women and their gendered experiences! i desperately want to give a voice to every trans man throughout time who lived and died in a dress, who had children, who thought they were the only one or who didn't even understand what or why they were.

obviously mulan does crossdress and does pass as a cis man, but specifically "Reflection" to me means a lot because i love how it can be read to be an expression of closeted transmasculinity. with transmascs, the bits of history we do get are constantly scrutinized by everyone; there's an unspoken rule of "cis woman until proven otherwise, why do you want to erase women?" and again! thats just when it comes to "women who crossdress" situations! people are so stingy when it comes to who they will "allow" transmascs to claim, seeing a "feminine cis woman" expressing transmasculinity feels transgressive in a very good way to me. also, i think we need more recognition that there are a lot of feminine women who really wish they were men (because they are), and its important to represent that experience and make it clear that being feminine (while presenting as a woman, or in general) does not mean you can't be a man.

My fave type of kpop fan are the ones who think every single male idol is gay. But also they're all in monogamous relationships despite being like average early 20s and apparently surrounded by 1000 other hot gay guys. And this person also, somehow, simultaneously is very weird and hateful to any kpop girl or even female interviewer who talks to their favourite supposedly gay boy... despite them being Very certain he is gay.

There are only two issues with me being into metal or generally heavier music. The first is that nobody can tell I'm into it because I dress like the most pretentious librarian anyone has ever seen. The second is having goddamn Gasoline by I Prevail stuck in my head as I'm trying to fall asleep

feeling like an italian housewife in her 40s: played burraco the whole afternoon while drinking gin and then went biking around the lake and got some sorbet on the way back

girls on spotify will say they're making a '50s housewife playlist and then the first song on there is by the beatles (it's not me. i am not girls. my '50s playlist is painstakingly researched)

Chefs of tumblr, is this cooked enough

I think it might be undercooked

bg1's default avatars are so funny, they reek of late 90s-early 2000s fashion to the point some of them are uncanny especially in a fantasy setting

I've been so excited to log off for the weekend solely because I've had plans to deep clean my entire house this evening and I can't wait .

My sister said its irresponsible to have kids in your 50s because you're gonna die soon which I feel like is such an immature thing to believe 😐 Like it feels like you're one of those people that thinks life ends when you turn 50. But also parents die all the time regardless of age so it feels dumb to say you shouldn't have kids if you're gonna die because everyone dies and can die at literally any moment. I would get it if she was talking about 90 year old men who try and have kids bc yeah that's wild but 50? Girl 😭
