The immense power of a long flowy coat

[felt-squirrels]

Ok I will concede that Anatole is a terrible person. Absolute asshole.

BUT

HIS COAT

The absolute majesty of his coat. Even my friend, who hates Anatole, wants his coat!

also he’s dramatic bisexual? ish? I dunno I just know he makes out with Dolakov in Balaga (one of the funniest parts I may say)

Conclusion: I do not like Anatole because of his actions, I like Anatole because of his coat and I want his aesthetic.

My mom thinks I’m having a secret boyfriend because I spend my time smiling at David Tennant edits in my phone.

Ma’am there was really nothing to I could humanly do to stop myself being dragged into this wormhole. Like I’m watching a 52 year old dude terrorizing plants and trying to understand the concept of memes and its the best thing I’ve seen all week. I’m not dating a mafia boss, no need to be concerned.

Thinking about disability a lot lately. I've been reading Care Work and this passage

there are a million ways to be sexual (if one is sexual), and some of them live in phones, don’t ever involve genitals, happen once a year […] all movement is movement, and counts, including when someone can only move three fingers and part of their forehead. All sex is sex.

has been on my mind. I'm dynamically disabled with—well, we're not really sure quite what with, but chronic migraine covers a lot of it. And it makes it hard to engage with sex, both when I'm feeling well and when I'm not, for a whole host of reasons, among which is the feeling of disconnection from my body due to how dramatically its function changes.

A different topic: do you ever think about werewolves, and the way that they're metaphors? Often for a stigmatized illness, or sometimes queerness.

And now another: I write and read hockey RPF. I think probably what really hooked me was Nolan Patrick/Travis Konecny as a pairing. To me, at their center is the idea that Nolan is sick, Nolan is difficult, Nolan is complicated and unhappy, but he is still lovable, in particular by Travis, who is energetic and difficult in his own ways, but above all, deeply loving.

Nolan is the obvious figure to represent sickness, but in my recent fic, I flipped things around. I set it in Nolan's rookie year, before he got sick, with nothing but a couple of hints of what's to come in terms of his head.

Instead of focusing on Nolan's head, I gave TK a lycanthropy variation, a little monthly problem where he turns into a hagfish. The core of the fic is TK trying to convince Nolan that even when he's a literal fish—when he is at his least human—he still wants to find a way to have sex with Nolan. He demands it, even, because to him, that expression of love while he's not human is profoundly important to his conception of himself, and to his understanding that even when he's not the TK that Nolan knows, he is still loved.

I didn't think it was about that when I wrote it—it's still the 'silly fish sex' fic in a lot of ways. But it's also more. And I kind of just felt like saying that today.

Hagfish, or primitive jawless marine vertebrates

Feeling the smartest mf ever for making Support only use They/It not because of their gender but because the OC literally represents a group of people (THEY) and a phone (IT) /hj

not to do too much religious yapping but to be honest, the common religious puritanical deliberate ignorance on how medical care has improved over time and what the benefits of hormonal/surgical procedures on quality of life is definitely not what God would want.

(i continue yapping under the cut)

in fact, in part of the Bible, God forbade eating certain animals. when humans had learned how to properly cook/prepare meat (so parasites would not survive), God sent a vision to one of his followers saying all those animals were available to eat now. there was a timeline where it made sense to forbid certain meats.

now in modern times, lots of puritanical culture talks about the Bible forbidding sex for recreation (also forbidding any sort of hormone manipulators on principle) which I think in older times would make sense as people were not the best with germs and hadnt had the pharmaceutical knowledge we have today. God sees how our planet changes and people evolve.

I think if he were to send down a vision today (like the meat vision mentioned earlier) he would say things like contraceptives, hormone therapy, and other health procedures are valid.

we have more knowledge, not complete, but more knowledge. though more unbiased research on women's biology, especially with reproductive health (not just for pregnancy!!), is needed and I recognize that.

I also recognize people in these puritan circles correlate hormonal balance drugs for women (or other vaginal health products in general) with someone being a “slut” or being sexually active in any way at all even if it isn't true.

it's incredibly invasive for doctors and family to treat 8-16 year old girls like they are always having sex behind parent's backs, and i personally think it should be considered verbal sexual harassment or even abuse to make jokes about your pre-teen or newly teen daughter becoming a whore once she starts leaving the house on her own for school/sports; for getting treatment she need to function in a world designed for amab body schedules.

but overall there is no need for such suffering if there are things that have been observed to help. like birth control for women with endo or PCOS. if we can start to help ourselves with the natural, various differences that occur in our bodies, we should. because the 14/15/16 year olds with endometriosis/PCOS and the 6/7/8 year olds with precocious puberty are shamed by family and teachers for being deviant and unpure (for their body shape and) for getting the medical help they need to live full lives.

this culture needs to change, humans have made significant unprecedented progress in medicine. why live on earth paralyzed with pain and scarring? with constant medical abuse because our female bodies are different? it is no different than the changing of how we cook, God would want us to take advantage of the tools and intelligence we have. He has us here so we can take care of this one Earth, our (chosen or blood) family, and most importantly ourselves.

He loves us, no conditions. How your body looks, what your body consists of, what your body and mind have been through doesn't change that.

And i think, that if you loved someone unconditionally, wouldn't you want them to live the best life they can?

So, I'm watching Modern Warfare campaigns while writing and... I have made an oc... they'd pretty much go under the codename of "Fae" or "Changling" or something of that nature. Either they are british or irish. I don't know. It's just an oc I've been thinking of passively. They pretty much have similar qualities to a fae. Very sneaky, very charming, very pretty, doesn't lie, but can twist the truth as far as it'll go. They'd have a small malicious streak as well as a mischief streak. if the two are intertwined from time to time? That is only for enemies to face. Allies only get little pranks at appropriate times. They're very good at reading rooms, light on their feet. maybe a redhead? Silver tongued 100%
