radfem help !!
2 of my little cousins (14yrs and 15yrs) are both girls dating boys right now, and together we are coming up with a "dealbreaker list" of things they will never put up with from their bfs! and also we are including positives, like so they aren't just looking for the absence of bad things, but actual positive things
what do yall think are the most important things to add? (i put extra info in tags)
Thank you so much!!!
#I dont want it just to be “he doesn't hit me” as that's super important but they could end up with awful boys who don't hit them and still#mistreat them. there are certain vulnerabilities that make me worry the most for them. Ive been writing under the deal breakers like exampl#of how it would manifest like things they might say or how they might behave so that way in the moment there will hopefully not be as much#time spent questioning if it counts as a deal breaker. we want to do positives too so like I said in the post it's not just like "he doesn'#put me down“ but also ”he roots for me and encourages me and verbalizes it“.#they are 14/15 so I'm less focused on stuff related to like splitting domestic labor for example but I think a good translation could#be like “he spends as much time as I do planning dates” and “it's clear to me that he put a lot of thought into my birthday gift” or the li#anyway I know they are safer without dating boys (and for the record they both know I do not date men (and only one knows I am SSA) but#they ARE dating and it's much more practical and realistic to reduce harm here since they are doing it!#also this is obviously not the extent of my effort in making sure they are safe and well and not reliant on boys/men;#this list is just one small part!!!#thanks so so much! and if you don't know please share bc maybe someone else has advice! ty!!!#radfem#radical feminist safe#radblr#sex based oppression#mvawg#question tag

confession the main reason i have not yet drawn a full body design for tango is bc i know in my soul that man has digitigrade legs but i’m scared of commitment
#see the thing is every *substitutional* animal feature (as opposed to additive ones) restricts certain types of body language#and i keep going ooough but what if i can’t depict [x emotion] properly bc of this ://#idk#maybe i should just trust myself#who am i to question the secret knowledge my brain gifts me without explanation#mumbling

love the idea of transhet laios
#random thoughts#dungeon meshi#chilchuck watches in horror as laios slowly animorphs into his second wife#'he didn't have a second wife?' not yet babeyyy#i am neutral verging on negative on trans chilchuck (negative being mainly because i see it everywhere)#i don't like it when people take the male character who looks the youngest and make him trans like 'well duh'#so he's cis to meee. and bisexual but quiet about it in the same way he's quiet about literally everything else about him#he knows what being trans is because one of his daughters is trans :] flertom#the way she treated her transition was throwing herself headfirst into gender roles like wanting to get married and worrying about her look#which laios definitely won't do (she was horrified when she saw how she would have stayed in the village and had a family in the au viewer)#but it'd be interesting to see chilchuck try to be supportive by encouraging her to try traditionally feminine things#which laios wouldn't be very interested in and probably wouldn't be able to connect the dots on her own that he's trying to be supportive#so she'd just be like. questioning why chilchuck keeps getting her weird gifts#pink and frilly and aaaaaaa#probably use some of the gifts for weird things. uses a sewing kit for taxidermy.#appreciates the new baking supplies probably#he gets her a journal which she genuinely uses#chilchuck seeing how she reacts to his gifts and knowing she doesn't get what he's doing but he's not gonna open up about it#so here have some more stuff until you get the point#btw this is unrelated but does anyone else think it's weird it's marcille who was able to put herself into the shoes of chilchuck's wife?#like she literally viewed him as a child for the longest time but now she's miss empathy???#honestly i think it'd've made more sense if laios did it? like how he put together the cannibalism thing#like i know he's not good with social cues but it could have been a chance to demonstrate how well he knows chilchuck#laios in another life would be the world's greatest detective

#the update in case anyone was wondering#is that i did not have a breakdown at work today#lost my bet with myself there#this probably has more to do with nobody asking me how i was doing than any emotional stability on my part#i was also (again) hounded by the team member who thinks she is my bestie#she does not take social cues and i'm gonna have to#come right out and tell her to dial it back several notches#bc yes i do have high boundaries and that is not a wrong thing about myself that i am trying to change#i do not need gifts or constant check ins or recommendations or prying questions#(she is not harassing me she really is just Very Sweet and Totally Clueless)#but i need to try to get her to see how it is coming across#...before someone else feels harassed tbh#ragamusings in the tags#i also just need to quit#but that requires having more than five minutes' of brain space and energy to apply to more jobs

crazy thing abt growing up in a competitive school system and especially high school (seriously why did they make that shit feel so life-or-death) is that you end up underselling yourself in your adult life. like i’m a design major who primarily presents myself as an arts and humanities type of person- i don’t consider myself stupid at STEM, but i don’t consider it my strong suit either. that’s why last spring i decided to get my STEM credits via non-major math and bio courses. i was SOOOO fucking bored in bio and barely took notes bc i already knew almost everything about almost every unit (also our professor, while seemingly a good person, was an awful lecturer, so . yanno). math was less bad but that class was mostly a review for me- my notes consisted of writing down variable definitions, formulas, and when to use each formula, and i spent the rest of the class doodling in my notebook. tests for both classes were simple for me. i had forgotten that while STEM isn’t my strong suit, i’m still a smart person. i was still a year ahead in science and math in high school i just. wasn’t taking college level calculus because i didn’t need to do that to myself
#marzi speaks#i forget that i’m still smart!!! i truly forget that!!#bc i’ve denounced the idea of the ‘gifted kid’ i genuinely sometimes forget that i am an intelligent person .#and also a nerd who studies science for fun#and has been studying science for fun since i was a baby#and has a mother with a phd who answered any of my questions with as much detail as i was capable of understanding#my only huge weaknesses in basic stem classes are chemistry and algebra. otherwise i’m pretty capable with what you need to get through life#i forget that. a lot#it’s so weird i have to remember that i can say i’m smart without like. being a liar or full of myself

nosy anon again making a return because i think what my brain did was read that i helped find some kind of writing and then did not fully process what the writing was?? but upon rereading i am very intrigued if you ever get the urge to share i will be all eyes/ears/senses required to enjoy things!!
I GET TO DO WIP WEDNESDAYYYYYY!!! the writing exists mostly in the form of a tag (fantastic! 'verse) and also a thirty-two page doc of snippets and planning, so the sense you will be using most is imagination:
don't think i have ever actually formally written out anything about fantastic! 'verse but! the tl;dr of it is that it's a semi-college au: joel is still a hockey player for the lv phantoms, but morgan is a college student-athlete. it's incredibly relevant to the plot that joel falls in love with morgan in the check-out line of a wegman's, lies a little bit, and ends up going back to get his degree.
most of it is just good fun about college kids growing up, but i think there's a lot of parallels between making your way through a development system where traditional "success" isn't always guaranteed (ahl -> nhl, completion of higher education -> pursuit of a career) because that development system isn't always designed for you to "succeed" or have opportunities. heavy quotation marks around success because part of that struggle is learning what you want in life and how you define success. are your dreams achievable? are they still the same dreams you always used to have? it's infinite branching universes of would you still love me if i was a worm (ahl player forever) (a college dropout) (a college graduate) (older) (realizing the fallibility of your body) (uncertain of the future) (human).
silly little snippet:
#do i LOVE this snippet no we're still workshopping but i felt like y'all needed context for why it's fantastic! 'verse#and i can't link ash's tweet because. priv nor can i link kay or jos' replies so this is me saying Just Trust Me the tweet is this scene#anon the gift keeps on giving. i get to gab i get to be nosy the world is ideal i am here for it#does it count as wip wednesday if the w in question has been ip for four (?) years?#liv in the replies#HI THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO GO OUT WHEN I FIRST GOT IT BUT I MISSED WEDNESDAY SO I HAD TO WAIT A WHOLE WEEK TO HIT IT AGAIN#BECAUSE I GOT EXCITED ABOUT DOING THE DAYS OF THE WEEK wip wednesday#you know the one oh i LOVE this part audio? that's me any time somebody asks me questions i am SO inclined to share.#one time somebody made a comparison about the blog and walking through a garden and it made me weepy i can't even lie#ALSO I SAW YOUR OTHER ASK i am in the trenches about whether i want to post it or not i did also go look and see her morgan posting in 2019#and maybe she is the same girlfriend?? maybe they broke up and got back together?? maybe she just cleaned up her vsco??? SO confused#(the debate is for all the reasons you mentioned lol it's just me deciding how Public you have to be before i think i want to paper doll yo#into my narratives? in a public forum because i would absolutely dm/gc/etc where there's no chance she could see or be involved#(as if she is on tumblr) but also figuring out how much i let into the sandbox. To Me things like the edm polycule or including wags can be#interesting within the narratives and sometimes i just pretend they don't exist! right now i am intrigued by the fact of whether or not#i invented a girlfriend (???) for morgan but she really doesn't fit into my narratives in a fun/interesting way besides that#and i don't want to spread misinfo if i DID invent this other girlfriend. rip morgan's imaginary (??) gf although i KNOW there was one#with the artsy vsco claw marks on his back. i promise!!! maybe it was just her!!!#fantastic! 'verse#i have better snippets i promise this au is funny it also features like. all of the 2019-2020 flyers because that's when i started writing#AND probably ten of those 32 pages are plans for a sequel/companion about isaac ratcliffe my beloved 😭#don't think too hard about who is actually playing on the flyers or draft orders without people. EYE know who is still on the team#but i did not do the math shenanigans to figure out who replaced people like morgan or scooty loots. vibes only no PP units

for me… FOR ME..!!! and for shri’iia specifically the lock in for astarion’s romance is his graveyard scene in act 3.
i think it is too quick for shri’iia to be moving on to another relationship considering her previous one was with her mistress who essentially groomed and isolated her for like … more than hundred years. learning to chase her own desires and not moulding herself to what anyone wants her to be is something so new to her…!!! and something that she’s still learning how to be comfortable with….
and what I like abt romancing astarion with her is that I usually go for the dialogue path in his act 2 confession scene where you can ask him:
- what do YOU want to do?
and he goes like honestly idk what we’re doing but /this/ is nice. it just feels like two people exploring the option to love for the first time and taking things in their own pace rather than jumping straight into the relationship. they’re going at a snails pace… they don’t know what they’re doing but they like this feeling and the vibe and they want to more of it but they’re not ready to commit to anything yet and it’s fine for them …!! and they’re only committing by the end in the graveyard scene where significant time has passed and they’ve learnt a little more about themselves and they’re both more confident about their own desires and also how they want to be loved.
like it is so fitting I think… and sweet… not to mention astarion being a high elf & a vampire and shri’iia being a drow, they have all the time of the world for themselves so I def think they would want to take their time. except if shri’iia turns into a mindflayer or drider by the end then that plan is out the window lol
#now I’m thinking who else I can romance with her .. maybe lae’zel ??#since the thing with her is that she doesn’t get vulnerable in act 1 so the scenes where the romances#are kind of heart to hearts like shadowheart’s or karlach’s (😭😭😭) is out of the question since it doesn’t fit her …#like she’d rather sleep with someone first than actually get to know them 😭 hence astarion and lae’zel …#gale and wyll… I am hmmm about it on one hand her approval with wyll in act 1 is not even high enough 😭😭#and I don’t think she can be sweet enough to chase after him in the party .. she was kind of like ok fine whatever when he said he’s not in#the mood … gale I think can be a contender .. I actually don’t know how his route goes so I’m not sure abt that …#but the thing is … she gets vulnerable LATER ..!! and why astarion’s romance work for her is i hc after their act 2 scene#they’re just in a situationship rather than actual relationship … like they’re dating (yes!) but also dating (hmmmm)#and it’s only in his last scene where they both lock in bc I think that’s enough time for her to process her OWN trauma and also for her#own character development … like she has to learn how to trust (ack!!!!) which is the thing that you don’t do when you’re raised in lolth’s#cult …. and her mistress manipulated her trust too so it’s even more nerve wracking for her bc she doesn’t want someone to have that power#over her again .. but now she has to learn how to give it away freely … without being scared … bites my hand …!!!!#and astarion graveyard scene where he wants to live again vs shri’iia learning how to trust again and trying to live without the fear of#someone betraying you and using you and the paranoia that comes with it … urck urgh goughhhhhh critical hit …#also I have a hc that she actually is quite good at making poisons since her mother sold alchemy herbs and components#and she gives him poison as a courting gift lol .. also like a way to protect him 🤭 but she won’t admit that … she’s like if you want it#take it if you don’t idc 🤷♀️ (she does..) i hc that she gets flustered at sincerity actually#their relationship for me is like they’re both two little shits and a general menace to society (both charlatans)#but if they had to hold hands she’d get too flustered too and he’s like honestly what are you a child? (smug face making fun of her)#I have this little comic idea for them when they held hands for the first time and she’s like ouggghhh 😳😮💨 flustered and sweating and he’s#like hihi 🤭😎 but then their hands starts to get sweaty and then he’s like ew that’s disgusting and she’s like ok if u hate it let go then#and he’s like no YOU let go 🙄 but they don’t let go now they have to suffer through the sweaty hand holding alas such is fate …

autism time
#txt#had a belated birthday game night.#neighbors came.#i’m 97% sure my neighbor jackson has been flirting with me and i have no idea if/how i want to reciprocate.#every time i interact with him i end up being like#‘damn i fumbled that‚ he won’t be interested anymore’#but then. he is.#anywho. he handed me a gift and i’m not certain whether it’s supposed to be from him and his housemates or just him#(they came as a group but he handed it to me. the contents were also informed by a question he had asked me earlier).#here’s the kicker: it was tied with a rainbow ribbon. rainbow as in gay.#is that supposed to be a signal. like ‘hey we should be gay *together*’. or what.#i didn’t open the gift until after they left. and bc idk whether it was from him or the whole group‚ i’m not certain who to message.#gonna err on the side of thanking him specifically‚ i guess.#i am also wicked fucking tired. which is compounding the difficulty of this social calculus.#yes this is the third guy i’ve posted about in a month. what of it#edit. i cant/couldnt even ask my housemates for advice bc i can’t really speak rn.#but i messaged him. so that’s that

what’s an appropriate gift for a friend who i love and admire and to whom i want to express my gratitude for treating me with (not to sound dramatic but) life changing kindness, who knows more about me than most friends i’ve known for years so also knows i like girls and then we have the issue of i don’t want her to think i like her in that way with a gift that is just a bit too pretty
#<girl whose default girl gift is earrings#i genuinely do not like her in that way despite how stunning she is#helpp i want to do mechanics to procrastinate the etsy mission#stressed#edit: this is a genuine question to nobody not a post to rb sjdhbkcj#apparently it is though and who am i to stop them

i have to write a mock cover letter for a class and the urge to just mad libs luke's speech to jabba in rotj is overwhelming
#speak friend and enter#greetings hiring manager who wants me to scab. allow me to introduce myself. i am jaime - final cut user and friend to striking workers.#i know that you are powerful; mighty hiring manager; and that your anger with the wga must be equally powerful.#i seek an audience with your greatness to bargain for employment subject to the wga's demands. with your wisdom#i'm sure we can work out an arrangement which will be mutually beneficial and allow us to avoid any unpleasant confrontation.#as a token of my goodwill i present to you a gift: this unpolished résumé. it is overly verbose and will answer none of your questions
