#Hey don’t message me about this

[xan-the-emo-trans-man]

I have this obsession with bare skin

The way it looks so empty, the way I want to fill it with something forbidden 

I can’t help the way it makes me feel

I can’t help the thoughts it inspires 

I can’t help the way I’m so entranced with how my skin fits on my body 

It’s so bare, I need something fill the space

I want to feel the sting and hear my cries as I fill the space 

It shouldn’t be empty, not now not ever 

How must I fill the space? 

I don’t know why these thoughts plauge my mind

I need something else to occupy it instead 

It’s a constant reminder whenever I see skin as bare as mine

I can’t help the obsession I have seeing my own skin I haven’t yet tarnished 

I hate the feeling of nothing there

I run my hands over it, feel how smooth it is without my own interference 

I feel dirty with nothing there, I feel like I’ve done something wrong

Have I done something wrong speaking these words out loud?

I can’t get rid of my urge to ruin my skin

ruin it to a point its unrecognizable

fill the space fill the space fill the space

oh if only I had the strength to fill the space

Continuation of my other post here, the autobots have come close to figuring out that Optimus is the sire but Optimus is way too moral to spark up an subordinate so they don’t look into it more

Skywarp stole the evidence, Ratchet doesn’t notice cause he and Optimus are too busy with the baby for any fun private parties

hey this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular but I’m saying it for the record here: if I tell you no, please stop messaging me about fundraisers and mutual aid.

I get enough messages that it’s impossible for me to keep up without devoting at least half an hour each day, when I’m not even on tumblr that long most days. Me having a boundary about this isn’t a moral failing, it’s a lifeboat for me on my own blog.

In my personal life I’m already advocating and donating literally as much as I can spare. This is not me not caring, it’s just me not willing to interact with that on the one place I go online to not interact with irl news and world events for the most part.

I cannot be upset all the time. I cannot be upset everywhere. I cannot use all my emotional and mental energy fielding my own upset from ongoing events. My options are to hold boundaries about this or stop coming online at all.

I’m all for sharing information and signal boosting to reasonable extents, but the scale of it this year is so large and so enduring that it is literally not possible to for me to participate on every account I have. I’ve previously shared links to Gaza eSIM donations and a major hub of verified Go Fund Mes here and elsewhere online. We, the online humans, know how to look those things up ourselves by now. There are many, many people choosing to do advocacy work, and right now, I can’t be one of them.

If you’re extremely upset when I tell you I can’t share/donate right now about a Gaza family or personal fundraiser you ask me to share here, just unfollow and block me. That’s what those buttons are for. Protect your own emotions and energy and get me off your feed instead of staying upset and continuing to engage with online people or content that upsets you.

Please don’t send repeated angry messages based on manufactured purity politics and moral outrage into my messages and inbox when I exercise the right to run my own blog.

Not to be rude Dr. Pines, but isn't 🧜🏻 using manipulation tactics that manipulators use?

-Someone that's been in many relationships with manipulators

Haha.

You’d think with my experience, I’d be more weary—I will admit, I did grow weak again..

A part of me wants to think they’ve changed, truly!

It has been 30 years…They didn’t put me through near as much as..others, had.

But who knows?

Who’ll ever know?

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

I think the funniest stuff from my time in the “trans women can do no wrong and we must circle the wagons against literally any perceived slight” circles was how every single time I did something one of those people didn’t like, down to even just liking a particular user’s post, I would get multiple messages telling me I either needed to stop doing that or they’d have to break off contact with me. Oh okay I see y’all are just in a cult.

Last post before I crash and no-one hears from me until I return from my first final the morrow’s eve (a changed man no doubt) but there’ll never be anything funnier to me than consistently being viewed as a composed and calm saviour by peers while I’m, actively and uncontrollably losing it.

overwhelmed by words

[underwhelmingalchemist]

Starting pride month with the pharmacy denying me my testosterone prescription until mid-June and my doctor saying she can't do anything about it because it's a controlled substance 🙃✌️

[silkjade]

am I being egotistical to think that a guy who used to be into me started talking to me again out of nowhere because his best friends got engaged and he’s a groomsman and wants me to be his plus one

[jikigo]

i mean no disrespect or harm, but i think it's a little tonedeaf to make a post that appreciates underrated shippers and then put the banner that says "dni if you ship with these two characters". not really sending the best message there

HELP lol okok the message still very much applies to those who self ship with them — but in hindsight, i think you’re actually right about the weird vibe and i’m sorry it comes off as such! i did it without much thought, honestly. so i’ll just remove the banner for this post ( ＾ω＾ )

side note : i actually have gotten a dm before assuming i had Malicious Intent™️ towards them [ like, self shippers who share rom!f/os ] and i was doing it 2 be spiteful or whatever but just for the sake of putting it out there: i really don't! all my posts still include and apply to them, i just rather they not interact with me directly. ofc you’re not making this assumption i don’t think, but i still felt the need 2 clarify lol
