#I should make a new tag called “spiider confusion” fr

[his-tamine]

ok ty to everyone who reassured me I wasn't being crazy, cause I def gaslit myself into thinking that it was just my BPD making me feel weird ab these questions. but apparently they're just odd. but they're also still apparently genuine, so ig I don't mind answering them. so, to summarize:

Q: "Why do you 'womanify' Forrest so much? /gen" A: I tend to sprinkle little bits of myself into my ocs, and as somebody who began their transition very hyper-masc and afraid of being invalidated due to the unsupportive environment and in a time where transmeds were being really loud in the trans community, I think that having an oc who is comfortable expressing femininity whenever he feels like it, is really neat and cool actually. Forrest is a man, no matter what he chooses to wear.

Q: "Why the 'mean brown boy, innocent white boy' trope? /gen" A: Forrest is not "innocent" in the slightest, he is a grown man with a job and a car, and several weird fucked up kinks. When I call him stuff like "golden retriever coded" I mean that he is naturally friendly, social, forgiving, and loyal. None of those things necessarily make him "innocent." And Eden is not "mean" he has several close friends, found family, fans as a musician, and has been in a loving relationship for almost a decade. Having resting bitch face and struggles with tone, doesn't make him mean. Again: I sprinkle bits of myself in these guys - I am his complexion, I have RBF, and I struggle with tone.

Idk how anyone looks at this (left) and see this (right) ??? lmfao
