#don't kys please

[saint-vagrant]

i was a man long long long long before i got the surgery i did this week and long before i started hrt and long before i came out, so i am writing from the perspective of that particular life: it's cool that i got to decide to be a man and didn't have to be a woman or anything else. i mean, people tried to make me be a woman as much as they tried to make me straight or thin or meek and docile, but it didn't change me. it doesn't matter what i look like, dress like, how i move, how i talk, what i make, what i love. you can try to beat it down, but the reason you have to try so hard is because it will never go away.

being a man is awesome. don't let some uninspired crank ever convince you otherwise. when you're a man the way i am, there is no "escape" from the burdens heaped upon you (an accusation often levied even now) but you do escape wanting to kill yourself as much. and if that's the sort of escape people mean, it's a route worth taking. so with that in mind you'll find neither shame nor cowering nor apologies here.

i say "decide" because although i believe i have been this my whole entire life, and therefor it was not a choice, it still required Decision-making and i'm proud of those i've had the capacity and wherewithal to make. if all i ever did was die under a name i call my own, then it'd be worth it— and i have to be honest, i've already had more than that, and i want more still. some days, some years, surviving is all we can do, and it takes so much from and out of you to accomplish it. but i want more than just survival. i want to want to live and i want that to be enough. the decision to be a man in spite of rejection— being cast by the wayside out of the garden, a garden to which i was only a conditional visitor to begin with— was a decision to try my hand at living. and if i was always this, there's no sense fretting about what i Should or Shouldn't leave behind. if you can leave behind what would hurt you to carry now, then do that. do whatever.

imo there's nothing wrong or flimsy about framing it as Choosing, anyway. maybe it's life or death, maybe it's joy and pleasure. maybe it doesn't have to be dire to be real. maybe it does. plenty of people, cis and trans alike, try their hardest to wield the choice derogatorily. charged with moral rot, rolling their eyes, pointing their fingers— "who would CHOOSE to be a man?"

ME! i would! i did! and in every life, every timeline, i will choose it again!

i am begging readers and commenters on ao3 to separate the writer from the writing. and to not conflate the actions of a character with the writer's ethics/morals/whatever

please

"Not a whole lot of time exists between the end of the Universal Will's most recent, and hopefully final, attempt to kill off humanity and the events that would happen at G4, maybe a month a best, but that is all the time they need. It had been years since Ky and his wife have been able to be together like this. He would do anything to make sure it all didn't play out the same."

Something quick I wrote based on episode one of Dual Rulers (if the link works this time).

I tried to keep the descriptions minimal on this one, but it's a lot closer to my usual writing style than chapter one of my other fix was so it saved me a lot of editing time. (shout out to my fiancé for helping me with that <3)

If you decide to read it I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think!! I tried to keep it closer to canon but I have a few headcanons slipped in there. KyDizzy Hurt/Comfort.

[punctuation-completionist]

pinning this post but

if i mess up the count somehow. like if i count and i miss something? i will try to correct it but it is probably bound to happen

like very sorry to say it but i am a human person who makes mistakes :] feel free to tell me also if i missed something and i'll fix it!

AND ALSO!!

DON'T BE MEAN TO ANYONE ! especially not people who make art that i rb here!

ALSO ALSO!

sorry i keep adding stuff to the pinned post but, if you either want me to take something down or want me to trigger tag something, just send me an ask about it! if you want something taken off of here, just tell me which post you want taken down and also try to be clear and don't just be rude, please!

as a schizophrenic osdd system i think it’s really really ableist, uninformed, and just plain rude when fellow antis call endos “delusional.”

like yeah, thanks so much for perpetuating the harmful stereotypes about my disorder that are literally outside of my conrtrol!

also telling anyone to kill themselves, endo or not, is not a good look and is pretty toxic imo :(

nod, we were going to make a comment on that but anger is anger. They aren't telling people directly to kill themselves (I should hope) and I did mention in the tags I dont agree with telling people to kill themselves. Thought crimes are not a thing though and this is infact a vent blog, we will allow people to vent their anger here since that's what this is intended for.

We do agree that calling them delusional is a little odd, but I do not believe they meant it in an offensive way,, do I agree with it? No. But I will let them be angry for now, people make mistakes when they are angry and I'm sure that person had no intentions of perpetuating sterotypes or being ableist. Not trying to excuse it, but trying to give an explanation for why I allowed it to post. I did try add trigger warnings too, but if I am missing any feel free to let me know

It's important to know the difference between uniformed and ableist, there is also a chance they simply do not realise that calling others delusional may be offensive

HE;S SO UGGLYY

my son I hate him

Stop demonizing wasps

Just leave them alone please

[biyohime]

Y'all I am so fucking tired of having to do a background check (scrolling down on artist's posts) on every artist's posts to see if someone's a proshipper or just a generally iffy person, and even when I THINK they're in the clear I somehow find out too late when I'm already following them, please tag your posts correctly y'all so I know who to avoid. I don't wanna see random incest of the skeleton bros popping up on my feed when I'm having a grand ol time admiring art 😭

Like yeah ship what you want I know damn well I can't stop you but I don't want anything to do with whatever you're cooking up, it's just not to my tastes in fact I am allergic.

please don't get hit with the curse of the ao3 author, you're the creator of most of the content I consume...

[yaeggravate]

my favorite thing about anfortas is how they keep emphasizing how fucking miserable he is

[leofrith]

quick question but do the ac fans who only give a shit about female characters having their roles "reduced" when their male counterpart is a black man realize how transparent they're being with their racism or are they actually just stupid

Rant about Harry Potter and JK Rowling, stick with me here

Ok, so, I hate JK Rowling. I feel like that's a given, right? Like, she's a transphobic homophobic bigot who hides behind feminism and routinely denies massive parts of the holocaust, and I despise her in ways that I don't think words can even express. I can't stand her, but y'know what I also can't stand?

When someone implies that my mother, who is one of the most supportive people I know, and a massive part of the founding, organization, and actions of a local group made specifically to fight Moms for Liberty and school boards in our area trying to harm trans and queer people, is transphobic because she likes Harry Potter

Wanna know why my mom likes Harry Potter? Because when she discovered the series at 12 years old, she quite literally lived in a cupboard under the stairs and was in an abusive household. The magic of the wizarding world or whatever was her escape, it's the reason she's still alive, and by extension, the reason I was ever alive.

But, sometimes, not even often, when I try to express even the most minimal amount of appreciation of that, someone says to me "but isn't JK Rowling transphobic? Why would you support someone like that? Are you transphobic?"

Which pisses me off beyond belief, as one might imagine

In this situation, "separate the art from the artist" isn't exactly a good phrase to use, given the fact that the goblins or whatever run the bank are Jewish stereotypes and the house elves generally being happy to work under their masters being a straight rip from the whole happy slave myth, and those are very very important things to recognize and understand, among others

I feel like it's a lot closer to "separate the hundreds if not thousands of lives she's helped from the hundreds if not thousands of lives she's ruined", or even better, understand that the good she's indirectly done for people makes all the bad that much more horrid

My mother is the closest thing to a hero in this entire world and I will not stand to hear one more person accuse her of being transphobic purely because she thinks fondly of a book series that saved her life. I will not stand for people saying she's just as bad as a holocaust denier because she owns every book in the series. I will not stand for anyone going entirely against their point of not judging a group as if it's monolithic by saying all Harry Potter fans are bad people, including my mother. And, once again, it's not often at all that this happens, but it happens and I'm pissed about it and needed to rant

Anyways rant over JK Rowling sucks don't believe a single thing she says and don't support her unless you wanna support someone actively trying to make the existence of queer people illegal

Adding onto my little ky-gear-teeth-headcanon thing.

I'd imagine like a Guilty Gear equivalent of FACEBOOK and people creating a Facebook group, making up the wildest shit why Ky's teeth have grown so abnormally much. Saying that he might have gotten replaced by some weird ass creature (skin walker, werewolf, vampire-). You know they got the pinboard with different pictures of him from different times comparing his goddamn teeth pixel by pixel to see how much it has grown and the red wool thread all around it along with big red circles. That shit got so out of hand it was in the papers and people straight up asked him about it (like soldiers and servants who work with him) EVEN DARYL AND LEO ASKED HIM ABOUT IT. He had to explain time and time again that no, he's not a skin walker or some faker. The real Ky isn't dead or got murdered. He told Daryl and Leo why his teeth are all like that (ofc the public doesn't know... Yet) and they also think it's fucking hilarious that there's this big conspiracy going on over some TEETH. Ky is so embarrassed by this whole debacle.

I think at the start of this going on, Ky probably panicked and thought "uh oh, they might be onto me" but then he reads what kind of theories people are cooking up in their heads and is just like "... W h a t-"
