HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY THSC!!!

It may seem like I'm new to this fandom, but I'm not. I got super into thsc about 4 years ago (which is when it released), and kinda had fun with it. Unfortunately, I don't have the history that some people have with this game, and that does make me kinda sad, but I'm glad to be here anyway!

I hope that I continue to fixate on this fandom for weeks in the future. I'm just having that much fun!

4 years is crazy. I can hold that on one hand, man.

I do have some extra stuff to share as well. For example, my oc's trying to celebrate the anniversary.

And failing. Carter dropped the cake. XD

It's okay, though. Devin is making him feel better with terrible puns and jokes.

That's all! Please enjoy your day!

CTA & CTN!

Years back, we coined the terms CTF & CTM at request of intersex friends. Since then, we have seen those terms take off, which we are so happy about! Now, we wish to coin two new terms - CTN (Close-To-Neutral) and CTA (Close-To-Androgynous.)

(PS - Please read and reblog our intersex guide! It is so important to educate yourself and others about the intersex spectrum and intersex bodies!)

Both of the flags are based on the CTF & CTM flags. Pink is for potential feminine sex traits, blue is for potential masculine sex traits, purple is for potential androgynous sex traits, grey is for potential neutral sex traits, and white is for the gender spectrum (representing how intersex people can have any gender.) Black represents intersex individuals that have suffered from genital mutilation, reproductive mutilation, or hormone abuse. Yellow is for the intersex community as a whole.

For the CTA flag, the purple circle represents how androgyny is the focus. For the CTN flag, the green circle represents how neutrality is the focus.

CTA/Close-To-Androgynous

CTA/Close-To-Androgynous is a term for an intersex person that was born with mostly androgynous sex traits, rather than "feminine" or "masculine" sex traits being the majority.

They might still have feminine, masculine, or neutral sex traits, however androgynous sex traits take up the majority.

Androgynous sex traits can include the following:

-Having ambiguous genitals. -Having ovotestes. -Having a combination of a uterus and prostate, or a uterus and testicles. -Having a combination of X & Y chromosomes that are higher than typical (XXY, XXYY, etc.) -Having an equal split of feminine and masculine sex traits.

The CTA flag.

CTN/Close-To-Neutral

CTN/Close-To-Neutral is a term for an intersex person that was born with mostly neutral sex traits, rather than "feminine" or "masculine" sex traits being the majority.

They might still have feminine, masculine, or androgynous sex traits, however neutral sex traits take up the majority.

Neutral sex traits can include the following:

-Being on the agenital spectrum. -Having gonadal agenesis or streak gonads. -Having cervical hypoplasia or cervical agenesis. -Having uterine hypoplasia or MRKH Syndrome/WNT4 syndrome. -Having low levels of sex hormones (hypoestrogenism/hypoandrogenism.) -Having low responsivity to sex hormones (estrogen insensitivity & androgen insensitivity.) -Having less than two sex chromosomes (for example, Turner Syndrome.)

I've been watching Call The Midwife for going on 14 years this coming year.

That doesn't sound like much until I say the first year of the show was set in 1957.

Season 14 will complete in 1970.

I've seen these characters go through at least three total societal shifts and season 14 is not the last season so there will be more.

Watching characters age and change this much is a gift and also so unique.

"Women help each other"

"Women are family, even when they're not related"

Call the Midwife summed up in two sentences.

Shelagh & Patrick Turner in the Call the Midwife 2023 Christmas Special

[sillykiddo]

I need st0p making thesez 😓

STOP THIZ REBAL FROMZ DRINKING EIGHT BEERZ AT ONCE 🤦‍♀️

Oringal picture belowwwwwww

I saw a fic where it insinuated that Patrick and Shelagh don’t have sex very often and I just laughed. That’s the biggest bs I’ve ever heard. Do you see the way they look at each other? There’s a reason they had a very recent pregnancy scare. Heck, there’s a reason they defied the odds and she got pregnant in the first place. The sexual tension is there people.

chapter four of the sublime dirty dancing au fic CLOSE TO ME (by @wayward-sherlock ) HAS BEEN RELEASED-- READ IT NOW FOR THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE

[neroushalvaus]

Call the Midwife is truly a show that gets depicting consent as sexy. Because consent is just the most basic thing you should have when engaging in romantic activities, what makes it sexy is if a person is very extra about it. Like there is a reason everyone thinks Patrick Turner is sexy. That scene where Shelagh turns away from Patrick and says that she can't let him kiss her hand even though she wants to because she is devoted to God, what is Patrick's answer? "If I didn't accept that, I wouldn't deserve to live". Wow. That sure is a thing you can say. Go off Doctor Sexy.

Happy (late) 9th anniversary CtM!!

This can also be counted as a redraw of this post:

Would you believe me if i said this was from a year ago

[hey-lady]

I know this is normally @miss-ute’s forte, but I rewatched the s2 Christmas special on a different streaming service today, and there were extended turandette scenes???? And different wedding music???

Also, sir, please…

Imagine being able to time travel and going back to series 1 and telling Sister Bernadette that this will be her life! Telling her she’ll be honest with herself, with Patrick. She’ll leave the order but not her sisters. Sister Bernadette will become Shelagh, she will marry Patrick with everyone she loves most around her. Timothy will call her mum and love her so much more than she could ever imagine. Tell her she will be a mum to four children that worship and test her and Patrick at the same time. They will affectionately be known as ‘The Turners’. They will have their ups and down, but always have each other. She will continue to work in the community as a nurse and midwife, and that community will continue to love her dearly.

Imagine being able to time travel back to series 1 to tell Sister Bernadette that she will find her path in life and she will be loved, complete and fulfilled.
