If you are now a motorsports blog, I hate to break it to you, but you will inevitably become 1 of 2 things

- a kpop blog

- or a ski jumping blog

I'm sorry, it's just science. We all eventually morph into one of them. I've seen it happen hundreds of times

i understand the frustration with “i made this gay pairing cis x trans so they can still have biological babies” with no thought to other methods and how ppl assume thats the case when it comes to mothpool aus where mothwing is also the mother of the three, but also…. idk i kinda dont give a shit if someone wants to do that and i dont really think its inherently transphobic as long as its handled with care and respect.

what really concerns me about this debate is how some people are adamant that you cannot portray trans people having biological children in media or youre being disrespectful. and im gonna say as a nonbinary person who doesnt want children for themself- thats kinda fucking weird? like i understand that for some people, theyre trans themselves and theyre speaking from a place of dysphoria, and i absolutely get that, which is why i think the topic should be handled with nuance and diversity in trans characters, but like…. guys. pregnant trans men exist irl. trans women get people pregnant irl. trans ppl’s ability and right to parent and have biological children are being debated irl. we get denied the opportunity to adopt as well.

in a climate like this, are we SURE we want the stance on rewrites and headcanons in the silly cat books to be “if you portray trans characters having children, especially with a gay couple, youre a transphobic freak no matter what!” does it really matter? especially if its being done by a trans person handling the topic with nuance who has a lot of trans characters with varying perspectives?

obviously yes, remember that thats not the only way certain gay couples can have kids, remember that not every trans person is fully comfortable with it and keep that in mind, remember that surrogacy and adoption are also perfectly valid ways to give fan babies- but remember that there are OPTIONS. not that you need to condemn the idea of transgender parents in the first place unless they fit the very specific criteria of “proper transgender representation” and anything that dares deviate from that is proof the op is a transphobic monster (bonus points if theyre a trans creator bc i mostly see trans people getting shit for this and it kinda pisses me off. although idm if cis people do it either as long as theyre handling it with respect)

For @heropartnerweek Day 2 it's Evolution, and this one's a two-parter! That's crazy for sure, and I think it's cool! Hopefully, that isn't just because I finished these right now and I haven't gone to sleep at all yet.

Kevin is literally a Final Girl. I need him to be in a big house all alone answering mysterious phone calls. I need to him scramble with a large kitchen knife and run and slam doors in residential neighborhoods. And of course he lives bc he’s virginal and pure and that’s the true purpose of a final girl, really. Very much a virginity gives you super powers thing. He’s wearing a white shirt (bc of his virginity) torn in a few places, probably has a wound somewhere on his person, and he murders the killer in cold blood and at the end of the movie, he smears the blood off his cheek as the camera pans across the scene and then fades to credits. He’s classic 70s and 80s Final Girl.

Jean is ALSO a Final Girl but in a Sidney Prescott from Scream way. In a way where it’s almost satirical. He’s not a helpless little damsel he’s fighting back and making snarky and comments. You could kick him down three flights of stairs and he’d still find a shotgun to blow the killer’s brains out. He’s like Maxxxine from X. He may not be pure but you will have to drag him down, and he will kick and bite and scratch the whole way there. And when the movie ends, he’s making his solitary escape or sitting on the curb and smoking a cigarette with the police sirens blaring in the distance, eyes dead to the world, and it’s a cut to credits. He’s the new meta, feminist Final Girl of the late 90s to present.

Now RIKO. Riko is a Final Girl in the way Pearl from Pearl is. Where is the making of his own ruin as a result of the hunger for his dreams. He’s wearing red because the only person he’s truly hiding from is himself. But he will get out. Nothing is going to keep him feeling trapped. Pearl is a final girl in the way that she lives but her ambitions died, representing a metaphorical death for her. That death is literal for Riko but ultimately (to ME) boils down to the same thing. Riko is the subversive “anti-Final Girl” Final Girl.

Snippet Sunday

Let's pretend it's still Sunday for me ^^

I was on a train for three hours and started writing a third part for my werecat a/b/o series??? (not a direct sequel, I think it would contradict some of what's strongly implied in the first two fics but well)

Snippet is under the cut, please feel yourself tagged if you want to be!

Buck had liked Tommy, had maybe even flirted with him, but that had only lasted until he saw Tommy and Eddie together. Eddie, who was always free in his affections when it came to casual touches, hugged Tommy closely as a greeting and then didn't seem to let go. From saying hi to the moment he needed to let go to climb into the copter, Eddie's right arm stayed around Tommy's waist and Tommy put his arm around Eddie's shoulders.

Omegas are touchy, Philip Buckley would have said but Buck knew better. Humans were touchy, some more so, some less. But strong alphas were supposed to be stoic and above such basic human needs (and Buck failed so badly at that, frankly he was proud of it), unlike frail omegas who were allowed to indulge without risking society's judgemental eye.

So maybe Buck was upset about nothing- Eddie was tactile, he knew that - but it didn't mean that he had to like this. And it only continued: Tommy this and Tommy that, suddenly Tommy was everywhere! Or more precisely: everywhere around Eddie. Going to trivia nights, watching movies, having dinner at Eddie's, going to watch sweaty men beating each other up, being sweaty men beating each other up. Well, maybe not that last one. Buck had seen the bruises and cuts on Eddie during his fight club days and sparring with Tommy just did not compare.

And then there was basketball.

Eddie had asked Buck to come many times but Buck had refused every time. He could play but he just didn't like it. He preferred spending time with Eddie at home, in the kitchen or out with Christopher or maybe going for a drink. Just not basketball.

But now Tommy went along and Eddie had it in his calendar, circled.

So Buck may have lied to Chimney about wanting to go to the basketball game with him as a brotherly (in-law) bonding exercise. And of course Chimney knew as soon as they arrived, which probably meant that Maddie would soon know too. Buck was pissed from the start, from the moment he saw Eddie and Tommy touching, if he was honest with himself (which he certainly wasn't, as he knew even then). That should have been a good indication to not play. But no, like an idiot he went on.

They had come off a 24 h shift just an hour before the game and Buck had taken care to reapply his scent-blocker but he was certainly the exception. Chimney's smell grew stronger as they played, the sweat overpowering the vestiges of his scent-blocker. Buck liked the beta's smell – marriage or not: Chimney was his brother. There were the smells of two other alphas but Buck paid them no attention; these two in particular held no appeal to him.

There was Eddie's smell, which was a rarity outside of the Diazes' home. Eddie had told him once that he'd gotten used to scent-blockers in the Army and since then enjoyed not being clocked as an omega immediately. Things certainly were better than they had been fifty, thirty or even ten years ago, but Buck had observed how some people’s attitude towards Eddie shifted if his scent-blockers grew weak during a long day without any pauses and his smell became noticeable. To Buck, his best friend smelled like home; possibly the best smell in the world, but some people smelled an unmated omega and decided to take that as permission to feel superior and become a creep, to put it as nicely as possible. Normally Eddie's scent was soothing and calming but right now it pissed Buck off and he couldn't tell why.

And then there was Tommy, whose scent Buck had never smelled before. He was an omega too, which maybe would have surprised Buck 1.0, who had not shaken off the stereotypes as much as he'd thought back then, but especially since meeting Eddie and mistaking him for an alpha, Buck had given up trying to guess anybody's secondary sex. Tommy certainly didn't fit the omega stereotype: tall and built, more so than Buck, and he smelled enticing, exciting – even though Buck hated him.

Normally that last thought should have been enough for Buck to step back and take a moment to try and understand what was going on. But right now he was trying to get closer, even if that meant running into Tommy, literally, and then...then Buck got so close so quickly that Eddie was lying on the ground, groaning, and with a hurt ankle. Buck did that. And Buck did not understand.

Buck had some realisations while he tried to distract himself with some bills - which totally did not work. He'd been trying to get closer to Eddie because he'd felt as though Eddie was leaving him out, even though Eddie was just spending time with somebody else, a new friend. Buck knew he’d struggled with the fear of being replaced; he'd had long talks with Doctor Copeland about it. He’d thought he’d been over it, or at least better at recognising it for what it was. Apparently not. Fear of being replaced, that was all it was, right?

And he'd been trying to get closer to Tommy because Tommy was an interesting person and also a hot man, objectively. And also subjectively, when it came to Buck. There had been a reason why Buck had asked for a tour at the 217  after all, and asked Tommy specifically.

He'd wanted attention from his best friend and an attractive man, sue him. Which they actually maybe should, or Eddie at least. Buck had hurt his best friend – if Eddie even wanted to remain friends, Buck could understand if not, and- Buck cut off this catastrophising, spiralling train of thought. Whatever Eddie decided, Buck would learn about it. He'd just have to be patient.

Luckily for him it wasn't a long time between this realisation and a knock to his door that promised a good distraction from his impatience. He opened it and there stood Tommy. Buck didn't know who he was expecting, maybe a neighbour, but definitely not Tommy

I've been rolling this around in my brain for a while, but:

I had previously pointed to COVID and how people came through the pandemic different and pondered the impact on Taylor and Joe's relationship

I still stand by that, but I've been thinking a lot about how they're different people. Taylor is SUCH an extrovert. Joe clearly is not.

And I just have to wonder... it's hard to keep stretching the longer you have to stretch. Of course you want to make things work with the partner you love but at some point if you fundamentally don't work you snap? Stretching gets exhausting. And with friends you can adjust if you need to! With a romantic relationship/partner you really really can't unless you carve yourself out. (Bend if you can, snap if you have to -@wisteriawatching)

Sometimes you can really love each other but what you want in life is fundamentally incompatible. The question is just how how long to you drag that out before admitting it to each other and shredding life as you know it to pieces
