i really love the 'it came to me in a dream' moments when writing.. i had just made the main human knight character for this story and named him but had no appearance in mind until i woke up this morning already 100% certain that he looks EXACTLY like george harrison

2 Timothy 1:8 (NIV) - So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me His prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.

I remember, when I was a little herm, I was very naïve.

I remember being brave one day and, under the false assumption a REAL trans person would come out REGARDLESS of the consequences, I told my whole family.

They were disgusted. I had worked up months and months of courage, just to be met with distain and disgust. From then on, I was on lockdown.

They chose what clothes I had to wear, often sexualizing me as they did. They tore up all my clothes off my body if they didn't like them. In front of friends, family, guests, did not matter. I was just a doll to them. A broken girl, needing to be corrected.

I was told if I were to ever even have so much as a haircut above the bottom of my shoulderblade or cut my hair myself I would be thrown onto the street to rot.

I was deprived of all privacy (in sleep, in showers, in getting dressed, etc) and made to be a laughing stock. I w

a freak at every social gathering my family did. I was called a dyke and a tranny and harassed in my own home. I was in the 3rd grade, and it followed me since. I had no support system. People looked at what was happening to me with the same pity you would for a criminal getting caught. "Oh, that sucks but they brought it on themselves."

No one intervened. They either joined in or just watched.

So the next time you wanna come on tumblr.com and get up on your high horse about how easy it is to be transmasc (or adjacent in some way) or how "lesser" our experiences are compared to transfems because OBVIOUSLY we don't suffer! Why would we go through anything?

This entry level of understanding oppression does nothing for anyone. You insisting that trans dudes cannot suffer horrible oppressions because they are men is disgusting. This experience is not transmasc exclusive, but there's enough of you out there who don't even think we experience the baseline of transphobia and its disgusting. Hear our voices. Now more than ever. Our screams of mercy should not be muffled out in vain.

NOTE; i am delerious and will definitely rewrite this later. its just a debut

Coffee Thoughts #1.

Welcome! This is my first post of my “Coffee Thoughts” series. Why am I doing this? What is this about? Well. On this page I go over explaining a lot of common Catholic misconceptions, or just some personal thoughts I’m having that day.

A little more about me:

roman catholic

owner of @circamariam

devoted to our lady of sorrows

So, with that out of the way, this is: Coffee Thoughts #1. This one’s gonna be just about my personal thoughts today.

Here in California where I currently am, it’s raining pretty hard outside. But you know, with the fires that have been happening it’s good to be grateful for that. I’m a pretty ill tempered person to be honest. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s too much pent up anger? Because it feels like the moment someone slightly wrongs me, my head’s going to pop and I have the urge to smack someone upside the head.

Weird right? Maybe that’s just me though and maybe I need help. Recently I’ve been devoting myself more to Our Lady of Sorrows. I’m not sure why, but I, in a way, can somehow relate to her. Sure, I haven’t lost anyone super close to me, but we all feel sorrow in our life. We always will. As long as we live, there’s always gonna be pain, and somehow, someway, it’s gonna show up, and stab us right in the heart. We can’t avoid it. The least we can do is embrace it and push through. Right? Right. I think.

About two or so years ago, I think that was when I really decided to try and get familiar with the religion I was in. I don’t know why. Not sure what changed. But I think it was after I’d experienced Jesus on the cross. It’s kind of a long story. If you guys like this, I might delve deeper into that on my next Coffee Thoughts.

This concludes Coffee Thoughts #1.

Hey can I just say real quick...

when folks put little notes into their refits, it really makes my day. I'm not kidding, this is going up on the wall, I will treasure this forever.

Our customers are just the best. Thank you. <3

Okay. Miniscule rant. Entirely tiny rant I am keeping in the tags mostly.

But Colress’s sentencing is coming up. And looking at the list of crimes: I hate that harm to wild Pokémon is treated far less seriously than harm to Pokémon with human partners.

[australianklaviergavin]

considering klav canonically isnt german you could be right actually and im stealing your headcanon its mine now

That's actually how it came about! My brother was like "Wait, shit, he's German, isn't he?" so I corrected him and he thought for a beat before INSTANTLY reading him Australian... We're both changed men. The more people I can get imagining him as Australian, the better

[ivy-saurs]

it’s so weird seeing phoenix saying stuff like “detective fulbright is being unusually cooperative” “i guess i was wrong about you, detective…” and acting like he knows him so well because i thought this was his first time meeting fulbright

I LOVE SO MUCH WHEN PEOPLE WRITE, DRAW OR EVEN JUST TALK ABOUT ECLIPSE FEDERATION.

Your happy ending fic actually made me feel weak. Like, they're so happy and silly, but still a bit awkward. I want them to hug until they'll lose their hearts to each other!

I have good news for you about how many eclipse fed fics I have (either 8 or 9 depending on whether you count the vitalasy&planetlord one)! Admittedly only one of them is happy but if you’re just looking for Any Writing About Eclipse Fed, there is absolutely more of that on my ao3 :D thank you so much for the compliments!!!

Gav I need you to know I think about this segment "Roy forces one of his leaden hands to move. He takes a step, a single step farther into Jamie’s space, and he doesn’t flinch. His boy doesn’t flinch back from him, even though Roy had just knocked him away. There aren’t words for what’s happening in Roy’s mind as he reaches out and takes a gentle hold of the back of Jamie’s neck, hooking an arm around him as soon as he’s close enough and tugging him close into his chest." Every. damn. day. of. my. life! HIS BOY

It haunts me like an affectionate ghost

I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME TOO........ it's so like. there is so much going on there. the fact that jamie didn't flinch being as significant - maybe even more - than if he had. roy's panic at realizing he'd just pushed jamie away without meaning to. the 'his boy' of it all bc it means we've crossed the point where roy is acting as a parent to this kid and also the point where he's realized that and admitted it to himself directly - bc those things did not happen at the same time, or even really close to the same time. the hug. SO much going on. i'm so excited to get to that sequence and all the stuff surrounding and leading to it.

Since some people don’t seem to know a goddamn thing about us aromantic folks, I figured I’d maybe put together a lil thingamabob based on AUREA’s 2020 Census.

Per most queer censuses, topics concerning violence, sexual violence, conversion therapy, various forms of abuse, and more.

Firstly, we’re a diverse people. I’d love for people to see and understand that.

We have trouble coming out of the closet just like any other queer person. Less than 13% of us are fully out about being aromantic. Even when we can tell some people about our romantic orientation, many people in our lives are still genuinely dangerous to come out to.

We experience erasure, conversion therapy, violence meant to “cure” and “fix” us, are suibaited, are kicked out by our parents, discriminated against by medical professionals, called insane for our orientation, are harassed at work for being queer.

We experience many kinds of attraction which may or may not lead to us loving people, even if that form of love is different, presents differently, or is otherwise not amatonormative.

[If anyone could add an image description, I’d be eternally grateful. My disabilities make it difficult to switch between reading and writing.]
