ugly or mid men in media irrationally piss me off because i get too distracted thinking about the standards actresses face to even pay attention to what they’re doing

hi! idk if your question was not meant to have an answer given, i can never tell, but maybe this can help you a bit! for pimples on the back of your neck it can usually be attributed to having wet hair touching your neck. it could also be wet fabrics like shirts and sheets

things like body heat, hair oil, leftover dirts in the hair (even after washing), allows bacterias to live really well and create fungal acne on your neck/back

even if you have hair that doesnt touch your neck it could be also a pillowcase/shirts that can be issues like damp from your other hair, exfoliation from rubbing, any product you may use, or needing to be washed/exchanged more often.

by no means is this like a cure-all fix/solution that will fully work and change your life or whatever, especially with genetic and other considerations, but it can help to consider if it is an issue causing pain for you or other issues

tyyy but it's mostly genetic and i'm just complaining lmao

thank u for taking the time to type this out though <3

i’m sure someone on here has said this before, but i think cis tiktok really took “feminine in a masculine way” and ran with it without realizing that the appeal of being feminine in a masculine way to genderqueer people, especially afab genderqueer people, isn’t just looking hot or whatever. it’s specifically the discordance of being perceived as masculine and performing femininity.

Like, you see cis women on tiktok with the caption “trying to be feminine in a masculine way!” and then they’ll wear these super femmey suits with their hair back and like. that’s cool i guess? i’m glad you feel confident. but the angst that genderqueer people feel over wanting to be feminine in a masculine way is derived from how this feeling almost seems like an impossible goal. like, femininity is standard for women, so when people perceive you as a woman and you dress feminine there’s no perceived deviance at all. you’re just dressing and acting like how a woman should, according to the audience of people who see you on the street. The part you feel that you lack when you say ‘in a masculine way’ is the part where your femininity gets to be nonstandard.

there’s almost a kind of grossness to when cis men in particular do femininity. it ranges at times from “haha ironic comedy, isn’t it so WEIRD and WACKY when men wear skirts???” gross to something almost demonic (like how men wearing makeup were treated at the height of the satanic panic). there’s like, falseness. like the femininity is separate from you somehow, as a facade, and that there’s some kind of clash between the femininity and the person underneath. and i’m not saying those are good things- the opposite, it’s really, really bad that we treat gender deviance this way. but the longing for this experience as an afab genderqueer person is the longing to exist in a role that is non-normative without sacrificing the things we love about femininity, and to be able to be feminine without having that related back to some quintessential nature of your gender as determined by broader society. I honestly feel like Natalie Wynn described this really well when she said that for her, as a woman, there’s no “de-dragging” where the womanhood falls away from her and she ceases to be feminine in a way that a drag queen might after a performance is over. I think what genderqueer people want when they want to be feminine in a masculine way is to have that ability, to have their femininity be a costume that they can take off at will.

anyways all this to say that i don’t think cosplaying as modcloth-workwear girlboss is going to help me achieve my gender euphoria goal of old church ladies sneering at me in derision every time i wear a dress. although honestly that is a great idea for a drag queen character

I’ve reached a certain point in my life where I just looked in the mirror and thought to myself “damn I need to figure out some sort of skincare routine” for the first time ever .

Your 20s are a vast wasteland of bad dates, bad decisions, bad relationships, and too much alcohol. Your brain is still forming. Your 30s there is clarity but also social pressure to be serious. Then your 40s...that's when it gets really great. You get to be the true you. You got rid of the 20s. Refined yourself in your 30s. And now you are you. You can't drink as much as you used to. You have to think more about caring for yourself. But you are you. Married. Single. Parent. Child. Straight. LGBTQ. Skinny. Fat. Cis. Trans. You are you. The 40s can be the promised land. Take care of yourself and set your habits before health issues become immense.

listen. aging into your thirties rocks. yes your joints get a little creaky. yes you can’t sleep in a pretzel on the floor anymore after a concert or a convention. and you lose some friends. but the thing is that you sort out who your real friends are and you sort out who you really are. and you get to see your friends settling into careers they like, and adopt new dogs and cats, and you find a job you can stand, and get really good at arts and crafts, and maybe that book you loved as a kid gets a movie deal and it doesn’t suck, and you learn to like new food and bake your own bread, and you realize that the great portfolio of self harm scars you all used to curate are going white with age and not updated, and half your friends are a different gender now and so much happier and maybe you are too, and you know who you are, and that it’s a journey and not a revelation. it’s a direction you’re headed, and you’re enjoying the trip.

reaching your 30′s rocks. and i’m hearing good things about what comes next, too.

When you’re just walking along minding your own business and you randomly remember that you’re ugly and everyone can see you

Developed hormonal acne in my fucking 30s, now my face undergoes two skincare routines

[understance]

i genuinely start tweaking when i see frail, skinny, smooth skinned, twink-ish marvin and whizzer bc what in gods name are you DOING. every time marvin and whizzer are twinkified, a falsettos fan falls to their knees and loses their will to live

Actually yes make them a little ugly, give them wrinkles and body hair and eyebags. Don't hold back, they're middle aged men for Christ's sake

"this site is getting old haha"

Untrue! I will believe it when i stop getting acne

[melancholicscoundrel]

Can’t wait to get me a 30+ year old sub with their own place and a good job so they could pamper me like I deserve. Not in the sugar baby way, bc with that dynamic a sugar baby takes a submissive role and earns gifts. As a Dom I don’t have to earn shit. I’ll receive gifts as tributes, and my sub will show their gratitude for my control through acts of service.
