#Maybe just straight or just cis

[juchily]

they called that shit straight up "werewolf conversion therapy" had Enid speaking about hoping that her mother could some day actually accept who she was

Oh man, that girl is not both straight and cis

last night i got home kind of tipsy and very much in tears and my mother told me the force you exert to keep someone in your life is proportional to the force with which they will leave your life. if you have to fight tooth and claw to keep them, their leaving will be just as hard, just as harsh, and just as definite.

‘Danmei is mlm fantasy written by and for straight women’ is a lie. It’s written for transmascs and lesbians obviously.

[adhderall]

no the "omg ur just a lesbian bc u can't get a man!!!1" thing is SO wild because it's incredibly easy to get a man meanwhile getting a woman (as a woman) is INSANELY difficult. despite what everyone says is2g ~wlw~ have higher standards (with women) than men do with women or women do with men

[monsterfuckermilligan]

i am not anti sam but i sometimes find myself hating sam because some samgirls are super into bio/gender essentialism whether or not they realize it. sam is a woman and dean is a man and sam is the victim and dean is his abuser like what show are you watching?

[lokh]

oh wait. i just remembered that while i was getting my blood drawn and asked to have the sex indicator changed (kept fucking up the reference ranges) the technician asked if i was born male and when i was like uhh no she was like oh ok thats fine. so are you in the middle of transitioning or are you done

@ the every sex scene in a movie is necessary post stop being a cringe whiney baby about it

That's all well and good. I don't go seeking out the stuff for sure, and if it just ends up shoved in my face I just mute or skip it till its over. no big deal.

But can we acknowledge the fact that so many of those shoved in (hah) sex scenes in movies or tv shows that aren't about sexual escapades are like.... so cringe?

It's done in poor taste? It serves no narrative purpose other than to show main cis man/woman chara horny hound dog wigglebrow they sure love gettin it its-so-integral-to-their-chara-and-then-we-never-see-this-brought-up-again?

Like you can have that kind of stuff just to have it, sure. Don't let people like me ruin your fun. But ONLY personally speaking, I would prefer a bit more tact and build up, and maybe a bit more artistry or purposefully well-done shots than a random wannabe porn shoot lol

when taking care of yourself and caring about your clothes starts making you feel better and not the other way around

More Pern thoughts: I want my fic where a young trans man with great organizational or leadership skills gets outed by his bronze on the hatching sands. I've seen some fanon rp sites that try to distinguish between cis and trans folks on this but in canon there's no reason it couldn't happen at least once. Trans men are men and that is the only canon requirement for bronze, so. Young fellow in the stands or sneaking onto the sands because nobody would let him stand over their ideas of him, gets his bronze and is just like "I told y'all so!" and goes on to be an awesome wingleader or even weyrleader with nobody remarking on it ever. :D

The "hear me out cake" trend on tiktok makes me really sad not because people have cold takes but the fact that we're bullying them for it.

Not everybody is a fucked up little weirdo (affectionate) like us. For some people, saying Simba's Mom is attractive IS weird and unconventional. Y'all understand that that's weird, right? Finding an ANIMATED LION attractive is WEIRD. That's a hear me out. That's a SOLID hear me out. Stop calling these people beige or boring or vanilla. Just because you're weirder doesn't mean you get to belittle people. They'll never get to experience the full scope of weirdness if you kill their desire to expand their horizons in the cradle.

vivilly thoughts in my brained

[pa-pa-plasma]

look i'm gonna say it. some relationships are not queer, & that's okay. you don't have to cling to the idea that it's only okay if you can somehow make it queer. it's okay to be in a cishet relationship. the type of relationship doesn't make you less queer & it doesn't make cishet people inherently like. evil or something. chill out

[arttsuka]

when they said tao was straight and cis they didn't say his relationship was straight and cis, but he as a character is not queer just because he's in a queer relationship

Yes you're right. I guess the conversation deviated away from the original too, my bad. I should have worded it more correctly.

[baltears]

it feels weird to talk about this but its unironically been very life giving to watch cishet men slowly start to engage more with areas of fandom that have been traditionally dominated by women over the past five or ten years. it used to be that 'men's fandom' (classically defined as like 'curative fandom') was really siloed away from 'women & queers fandom' (transformative/interpretive fandom) but at this point the lines and communities are much more blurred and i even see cishet men earnestly engaging in fandoms now that the guys i grew up with wouldn't have been caught dead looking at unless it was to deride and mock them for not being sufficiently masculine or sufficiently serious. and it's also nice to see the way cishet male fans can engage with (het) shipping culture more now because it kind of used to be that the dominant image of connection between men and women in media was really distant, really based on admiring and kind of idealizing someone from afar and despite there being a lot of hetero romance there was a really limited quantity of like, visible, authentic emotional closeness and intimacy between men and women. idk it's just really cool as a fan who grew up with this sense from the culture that like, the vision of closeness and love that could exist in fandom or m/f shipping culture was very fantasized and not tethered to reality at all specifically because men did not want to get in touch with their feelings, did not want to be truly close with women and did not want to respect women or take them seriously as people. now in a fannish way i can explore a depiction of this kind of genuine egalitarian closeness between a woman and a man, or even a depiction of m/f romance thats rooted in female fantasy and the 'female gaze' (mixed feelings about using that term but just to express the point that it's told from a female perspective and aimed at meeting the emotional wants of an audience of women), and it's really quickly confirmed that this image is actually something thats also appealing to men, that they are interested in it and it isn't something absurd or unserious or only worth dismissing or laughing at. its cool.

is being a violist just inherently queer or something
