Remind yourself that this is temporary.
“This will mean I can’t transition” could be more accurately framed as “parts of my transition will have to be delayed.”
This won’t last forever. One day, your body is going to feel like a home. One day, you’ll have people who call you what you want to be called. One day, you’ll look in the mirror and see yourself. Please make sure you’re around long enough to see it. Sending you so much love.
#transandrophobia#transmisogyny#exorsexism#transphobia#mine#us politics tw#this is directed towards trans people afraid their transition access will be restricted due to the u.s. election#but i suppose it can apply beyond that#i say could because it depends on your circumstances exactly how much will have to be put off. it could be some physical aspects like hrt#or it could be something more than that. any amount of having to put off your transition is awful and i’m so very sorry#but this will pass. things will be different in the future. you’ll be able to live as yourself to the fullest one day. i truly believe this

ngl one of the most useful things i’ve internalized from doing art online is never tell people what to criticize. don’t preemptively apologize for things or point out where you think you fumbled, it’s just priming people to notice minor issues that might not actually matter and hit you where you’re sensitive and throw you off your game. don’t tell people your weak points. if it’s a genuine problem they’ll point it out
#especially not if they’re the professor grading your assignment!!!!!!!!!! feel so bad for my friend#i cant tell him it now bc it’ll come across as mean but i feel so bad :( he kept apologizing for things he didn’t need to and it made him#seem unprepared. when he actually had 95% of what he needed and apologizing made it LOOK like he didn’t#text✨#i’m making it sound very dramatic here but it’s straight up helped me so much with my anxiety#the above doesn’t apply if you’re looking for constructive criticism kr any thing#i’m very specifically talking about stuff like posting art online or giving a presentation or whatever

So, I’m awkward with actual humans. It’s not paranoia about my hacked governor module, and it’s not them; it’s me. I know I’m a horrifying murderbot, and they know it, and it makes both of us nervous, which makes me even more nervous. Also, if I’m not in the armor then it’s because I’m wounded and one of my organic parts may fall off and plop on the floor at any moment and no one wants to see that.
one last fancomic to finish off the year, from asr this time!!

weirdly enough, you do not actually have to think out loud 'wow look at that disabled person I'm going to do something and be ableist towards them' for the things you do to be ableist

I know people love saying 'Bruce is a girldad' and I totally get it, we want to show how much he loves Cass and that she's his daughter. But Bruce's initial love for Cass was largely predicated on how not girly she was. He openly dislikes her girlhood throughout Batgirl 2000 (including but not limited to: dismissing her civilian identity, berating her for any romantic attempts, weakening her friendship with Stephanie, undermining her relationship to Babs, etc. etc.). Cass' femininity interferes with his ability to project onto her, so a lot of the time he just dismisses it. Is it really a coincidence that Bruce's only adopted daughter is one who wasn't raised as a girl?
#cassandra cain#bruce wayne#batman#batgirl#this may not apply to other semi-canon daughters (helena) but bruce's love for cass has always been steeped in sexism#he could love her because she was not that feminine#it's why he treated steph so much worse#and why he tried to prevent them from growing close (he explicitly says 'she's not like you'... the sexist subtext is just text)#meta#i do think bruce learns to adjust his thinking though. especially in horrocks' run and bg (2008)#so i guess it's more accurate to say he's learning to become a girldad#so bruce is a girldad truthers you're not actually wrong!!#i just don't want people to think he was always a good dad to cass. he was very much not

If My Body Could Speak, Blythe Baird | The Godfather, Mario Puzo | My Father's House, Sylvia Fraser | To The Daughter Who Secretly Longs For Her Mother’s Affection, Lynne Shako | Storms from Jupiter, Wanda Deglane | DO NOT REPLY, @filmnoirsbian
#connie corleone#carmela corleone#the godfather#web weaving#this is...quite negative towards carmela i guess#so i just want to make it clear that i actually really love her as a character and i actually can understand how she became who she was#she was a woman born in the late 19th century raised not just in a patriarchal society but a CATHOLIC patriarchal society#who therefore grew up learning that she was primarly defined by her relationship to her husband and her capacity to be a 'good wife'#so i totally understand why she would take some type of sick pride in knowing that her husband never 'had' to hit her#but like...that entire part of the book was legit hard to read and Carmela was really not that much better than Vito there#so it's kinda hard for me not side eyed the shit out of her when she blame Connie for being a neglectful mom#like geez Carmela I wonder why your daugther might be struggling I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything you did or refused to do...#i'll say that she did end up being concerned for Connie and trying to help so she definitely deserves some points here#unlike Vito's dumbass who was just like 'it really hurts me to know that my daughter is being hit all the time but i can't do anything :('#'I'll tell her it's all her fault and that she deserves to be hit that will surely help somehow'#Vito really spent the entirety of this book being like 'nothing and I mean NOTHING matters more than blood (conditions very much applies)'#domestic violence mention

and! barbarian!fig! its her
#fantasy high#dimension 20#figueroth faeth#fh class quangle#if u look at the junior year design and think tifa lockhart: yeag#I already thought the cleric!gorgug junior year design kinda is very aerith so. lol#but! I do feel like these designs maybe portray the clearest arc out of all of them so far. I like that#some of it came from a bit of necessity which is really fun that mirrors the actual play format thats cool#(necessity being freshman year riz is pretty much a huge block of red flannel lmao. kinda stole figs canon color coding for a bit)#(and he's got the owlbear jacket from taping the games in sophomore year... so I cant give fig the big red blocking until#junior year lmao. coincidentally this forced me to be a bit more dynamic with her concept which is great)#her second pair of shoes very sonic tho. I kinda enjoy that lol#tbh I really love that canon gorgug is like in a pair of chucks 24/7 that is SO funny for a barbarian I hope to keep the energy going#with class swap fig I think a barbarian who wears like collector sneakers is awesome. the foot support is so important to their work#the general idea of a hyperfem girlypop barbarian still ticks for me tbh. idk enough abt the zeitgeist to know if thats passé now or not#but doing Fashion on ur job of bodily tearing ur opponent apart with the least flourish possible is just a hit for me#her knee brace is from like an injury back in her cheer days that she got by overexercising in hope of being good enough that#the team couldn't let her go. the team then used that same injury as a pretext to let her go#I think abt her arc tbh... fig's thing in canon junior year abt the point of her rebelling. I feel like a lot of it can also apply to rage#both knocking things over and holding onto things don't like. make anything new. destruction without at least a glimpse of a vision#of the after is ultimately a cynical defeatist point of view... strategic barbarianism for fig babeyy#yay! once again its time for me to Fucking Sleep. but hopefully I can hammer out a proper ref for riz and gorgug both in the#following week inbetween doing my job. its that time of da year lads (<- fully seasonal worker)

pandora rosier is not gentle and sweet and delicate. she may look like a beautiful victorian doll, but in reality she is like one of those sets of matryoshka dolls, where you open one up to see another inside. the outside doll may resemble a fragile looking, doe-eyed beauty, but the one inside is a Terrible Person. she is selfish and vicious and only acts for the sake of herself. she is not airy and dreamy and kind (she is not luna!!!), and she is capable of unimaginable cruelty towards those who wrong her. she is the definition of morally grey: she is not outwardly evil, she does actively seek to destroy the world, but she would not risk a thing to save it either. she is ruled by a sick sense of self-preservation, and she makes decisions based off of what is best for her or for those she loves. she is perhaps less sadistic than her brother, and finds less enjoyment in the torture and killing of animals in the back of their family garden, but she does find it fascinating. she observes evan when he experiments, and she will always be the one to clean up after him, carefully wipe the blood off his face, hide the evidence, bury the corpses. she holds no reservations against the atrocious acts he commits, both towards those animals but also later in life as a death eater, and if she wasn’t so concerned with protecting herself, perhaps she would have joined up. she certainly never cared either way if he was murdering innocents or not. she is beautiful on the outside, both of the twins are, but both of them are also rotten on the inside.
#t#let pandora be morally grey 2024!!!#let her be borderline psychotic and very questionable and frequently exceedingly cruel#let her maim and torture and kill as much as evan if she so wishes!!!#the imagery of matryoshka dolls also applies to barty!!!!#pandora rosier#evan rosier

XD Ok so imagine if Sky's smart mouth made him want to roast the heck out of Demise before he could even lay the curse
Like what if Sky, who even managed to roast Impa, has just nearly killed Demise and this goes down:
Demise: >:) So about the world's fate-
Sky: Did you know that your monstrous sealed form (a boss called The Imprisoned) looks like an avocado?
Demise: ?!?!
Sky: With teeth.
Sky: And I wielded the triforce and utterly destroyed you so you faded to dust- and the only reason you're alive (for the next few moments anyway lol) is your sword spirit Ghirahim went back in time? Huh? Did you?
Sky, laughing now: I mean what kind of God is outdone by his weapon and a student ami'right
Demise: *inhales*
Sky: Did you know that to fight you while imprisoned I popped your toes one by one through your pathetic little shockwaves you sent? Did you know that you were so weak that they popped like balloons?
Sky, cracking up: Did you know that your most helpful move when I was fighting you was to slither up the hill like an undignified walnut after I popped all your toes and you couldn't waddle anymore?
*Demise points at Sky and Sky points right back*
Sky: I landed on your head out of a catapult- your sealed form's flying technique was pathetic!
Demise: On you I lay this curse
Sky, yelling: Did you know that your monstrous form is almost as dumb and stupid looking as you are!!!!
Sky: And by the way. Nice hair
Demise: *screams in rage and fades away without the chance to lay the curse*
Like imagine you're a God who wants to lay a curse to doom the world but your opponent is a teenager with sass issues
#in which Sky is slightly more aware of Demise's cursing abilities and slightly more delirious after fighting him#the imprisoned was one hell of a boss#avocado demise <3#linked universe#linkeduniverse#loz#zelda#skyward sword#loz sksw#<post is made for Lu but very much applies to the game so I tagged it as both. that's ok right? I think?#hope this made sense lol#it's funny to me#you are loved <3

Things you might not realize are affecting your ao3 readership:
Putting unrelated fics into one compilation instead of series or collections
Not tagging your fics/“haha I’m so bad at tagging!”
Tagging all of the ships in a fandom instead of the relevant ones to the story
“This is my first fic ever”/ “I’m really not a good writer” / “sorry if this is crap”
Summaries that say “sorry don’t think I will update much” or “might be abandoned idk”
Tagging “r@pe” or “unaliving” etc instead of the actual tag so people can filter/exclude
NOT tagging major, relevant tags or kinks without using the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” option
Telling people how bad your writing is and how you hate it so much and how they shouldn’t even be reading your fic (self deprecation)
Weird punctuation: not starting new quotes or descriptions on a new line, and/or putting extremely long blocks of text on the page without a break
#while there are many valid reasons to do these things#they can affect if people will click on your story#they can be very influential#and it might explain some hits or ratios you don’t like#but not all#we all go through it as writers and we do this for free#but these are some reasons I might keep scrolling and that I’ve seen from other people#fanfic#fic#writing#fanfiction#ao3#archive of our own#most of this applies to ao3 but still#soft writing rant for Friday#I’m not saying things will magically change if you don’t do these#but it will help i promise#always put your best self out there#and so much of these are self deprecating as a protective measure#I totally get why we do it#IVE done these#trust me#writing things#just writing things#reading#reading things

Combining the boys’ abilities (and I mean actual combining not just using them at the same time) because I was thinking about it and wow they’re kinda cracked actually-
[ cw: death mention / def not for them though 💀]
Raph & Mikey: infinite clones (aka unbeatable) + strength completely unparalleled + infinite cloned chains + the clones are very fast and can fly + potentially reverse any damage on main shield clones or even damage in general
Mikey & Donnie: constructs that also can last much longer than usual possibly forever + potential future vision + every single cable or wire or anything of that sort has the potential to be taken over akin to Mikey’s chains + full telekinesis
Donnie & Leo: pinpoint portal/teleportation themselves or constructs just by knowing where to aim (aka instadeath for any enemy if used right) + telepathy
Leo & Raph: teleporting clones who can grow or shrink at will (which can also be instadeath like above if used right) + said clones can also act as homing spots to switch places with + potentially swap damage taken to clones
Raph & Donnie: they literally can make Voltron, but more than one + basically impossible to destroy shields + constructs can also be cloned
Mikey & Leo: freezing time and being able to move during it + heat death of the universe + “oops hey it’s other alternate iterations of us???” + this is a time and space team up you’re not winning this-
Basically any combo is an instant “you win.” I wanna go further into these combos later and maybe even add or subtract as I think more on it because there’s so many I left out and I can always extrapolate on and explain these ones more, but this was fun and these boys have terrifying powers even without combining them all together.
Seriously, should each of them train these abilities to the best they can be, there is no beating them even if they’re alone.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#this is all very much off the top of my head#I swear I can justify all of these#and I will#eventually#I feel like I can do some of these better tho#there are infinite combinations you can do tbh these are just what I thought of lol#maybe one day I’ll do regular combo moves instead because that’s a different ballpark that’s not quite as world ending haha#mikey is the best mystic warrior not just bc his powers are ridiculously strong-#but because he’s CREATIVE#and creativity makes even the most mid appearing power turn op VERY QUICK#honestly all of their abilities could so easily be JUST strong#but we see in canon really cool ways they apply them#like Leo literally throwing his portals#I actually had this in the drafts for months#anyway I also think it’s interesting how both Donnie and Raph’s mystic abilities work as putting more of themselves INTO reality#whereas Mikey and Leo’s mystic abilities are more inviting reality into themselves#Donnie and Raph break the concept of equivalent exchange in someways and Mikey and Leo break the concept of space time haha

While I think the moment in cql where Meng Yao– still bleeding from a stab wound in his chest btw– realizes Lan Xichen is in danger and decides to save the man who was so kind to him in cloud recesses is cute and all, nothing will ever beat the book for me. Little bookkeeper civilian Meng Yao, who has not had a serious chance to make his dreams of being a cultivator come true in fucking years, out of nowhere gets the fucking sect leader of Gusu Lan dropped right in his lap?
It's such a great example of Meng Yao's multilayered motivations to me. Because is civilian Meng Yao thinking of all the ways he can use this? Of the fact that having a great sect leader in his debt is the best thing that could happen to him? Duh. Obviously.
Is he very purposeful about appearing to Lan Xichen as a kind young man full of untapped potential, brave and willing to put his life on the line even though he really doesn't know so much about about cultivators, no sir, except a little he picked up here and there, because you see his father– 👉👈 Of course he is!
But the way through which he does that is... by actually saving Lan Xichen's life, at no doubt significant personal risk. The way he makes Lan Xichen believe he's kind and selfless is by... being kind and selfless. Just because he's doing it on purpose doesn't mean he's not doing it.
Is it lying if you want people to think you're nice and so you're nice to them? Isn't that just called being nice? Yes, he is very purposeful about how he appears to people, and very carefully crafts an image based on what he wants them to think of him, but most of the time he does that simply by... actually being the kind of person he wants to appear as. He still did the kind things he did, regardless of his motivations for doing them.
#mdzs#mdzs meta#meng yao#jin guangyao#lan xichen#rs: i wish it could've been you#I think for a guy like nmj the reason this 'fakeness' is scary is because it makes him unpredictable#meng yao COULD be nice to you because he wants you to think well of him and the best way to do that is simply being nice.#OR he could be planning to kill you later. you have no way of knowing which one it is.#but like... the existence of the latter– while obviously very troubling!– doesn't really make the former manipulation in and of itself#but both people in universe and the fandom frustratingly often take it as such#'i want this person to like me so i'm gonna be nice to them' <- this is not manipulation. this is just interacting with people.#anyway this dual motivation probably also applies to show meng yao. who is scrambling to find something else now that he's been banished.#but the reason the novel grips me so much is little civilian a-yao doesn't even *know* lan xichen yet.#it's the journey of this at first being very inpersonal- both as an opportunity and as a heroic act#(the impression he's giving being that he saved a stranger because he's just that kind of person 😇)#and over the course of their time spent hiding together becomes... very very personal.#meng yao coming in with a very general plan that he could charm any kind of person with and slowly adjusting it to fit lxc#but how is that so different from just... getting to know a person and realizing what kind of relationship you want to have with them?#I also just think it's cute to have a-yao get bonked over the head with the realization that this guy is so fucking NICE what the FUCK?#no way he's this lucky. good shit doesn't *happen* to him where's the catch with this guy??? hello???#lucky of course both on a personal level and for his practical goals. i loveeee both sides of a-yao's brain screaming in tandem
