tidbit tuesday

i been going hard with this au lately so. thank you so much @inell i have been desperate to have a reason to share some of the too many words i've written recently outside of actual fic chapters

“Mm,” is all Eddie says, as Buck gets a grip beneath his knees, and tugs Eddie’s arm around his neck. A whimper startles out of Eddie as Buck lifts him, before his head hits Buck’s collarbone like a pillow. “Buck.” Eddie’s not thin – he’s built, built well, but he fits so perfectly in Buck’s arms, he’s weightless. Buck is almost reluctant to let go as he lowers Eddie onto the seat in the tank, hanging onto his head as it flops, near lifeless, against the headrest. “Eddie – you with me?” “Will you take care of Chris?” Eddie asks. “If something happens, will you…” “Hey.” Buck gets his hands on Eddie’s face again, tracing the curve of it over and over, fighting to catch his flickering eyes. “Hey, no – stop that, nothing’s going to happen. Christopher needs you, okay?” “He really likes you,” Eddie manages. Buck’s heart splits down the middle, fractures into two pieces that shatter against Buck’s ribcage. “I-I really like him too.” “So you’ll take care of him…” Karen comes over and starts attaching the leads to Eddie’s temple, because apparently Buck was taking too long. “How about I take care of both of you?” Buck asks.

@stcrforged (lea) said: the price is steep

        "Ain't if fuckin' always," Cooper replies, looking down at the broken Pip-Boy on the counter between them. The thing is junk as far as he's concerned—though perhaps that's just his own deep-seated prejudices against its creators—but Lucy insists its important and useful. "How steep?"

Why do I keep seeing transmascs and trans men insisting or implying that all trans men are "female socialized," or "understand the female experience," or "navigated the world as a woman." Because yeah, sure, that can be true for some people. especially if you weren't gnc at all as a kid and didn't crack your egg until well into adulthood, it makes sense.

But they don't stop at saying they had that experience. It always comes with an addendum that trans men, as a group, all can relate to this experience. I don't know about the entirety of my demographic, but I never got even a little bit of what some of them talk about. I didn't even believe that women were scared of going out at night until I kept consistently seeing them say it, online or wherever, for years. I never realized catcalling was a thing until I saw some women complaining about it on reddit.

But they posit it as some sort of, you're safer than cis men, right? You know what it's like? Which, on top of being patently, demonstrably false in the case of myself and many other trans men, holds some unpleasant and often outright hostile implications about trans women. And they always deny it, but if you can't even conceptualize someone like me who grew up gnc, and never got the bulk (or any?) of whatever we consider to be 'female socialization,' what does that say about what you think trans girls went through, growing up? I don't want to speak for them, as I've never experienced that firsthand, but I can guarantee that (if you're even a little bit obviously trans) people don't treat you like a cis kid of the opposite gender. By and large, they don't get treated like cis boys.

It just makes me mad that we're taking this inaccurate framework that (ever so conveniently) puts trans people into the box of our assumed birth gender, and trying to fancy it up and use it with a faux-progressive veneer; never mind the way that transphobes use it to bar trans women from being athletes, or using the bathroom, or having access to any gendered resources they need. It would be bad enough to try and dust it off and use it even if it were largely accurate, due to the aforementioned connections to outright transphobia, but it literally is patently false. Not in all cases, obviously, but why are we trying to revamp this untrue, inaccurate generalization and pretend that we can make it 'trans-inclusive?'

Happy 2nd anniversary to the ever iconic "What do you even know."

"Jason just needs to see things from his family's perspective and understand how much they love him (despite them never actually communicating or showing him through their actions)" is out. "The batfamily putting a single bit of effort into understanding Jason and reconciling with him on his own terms" is in.

Never underestimate how much leaving little comments or tag-comments on art/comic posts makes artists (specifically little rat artists) happy. It's actually kind of shameful the amount of joy this brings the creature.

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)

exactly like that! though she's not the only one...

edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

sorry, i'm still hung up on how bad the writing for sarevok was in bg3. it's not even just "he's so out of character!!" bad. that is just straight up not him. literally who is this man, what the hell is he talking about, and what has he done with the actual sarevok because nothing he says makes ANY sense like....

just as one example of how wild the contradictions/retcons are, this is how bg3 has him recount his resurrection in bg2 -

and this is (parts of) how it actually happened -

like??? it's so bad and weird and dumb and for WHAT???
