getting over a migraine so i'm mostly lurking on discord. feeling a little uncomfy on the dash too - the conversation being had about women ocs is good, but there's some questionable language in the tags (aka so no moots and not the op thankfully) that i'm just :/// it's unfortunately the same old same old.

Tsukuyomi was a child of a favored Geiko, due to the barring of male children, he lived his life essentially in the darkness while tending to the essential duties of the Okiya. Like most males in such a world, he was to live with servitude, though the lack of a mother’s guidance ate at his core. The only thing he held onto was the warmth && glory of his young twin, Amaterasu. His love for her is utmost profound, but, it’s important to emphasize he was a man, one of great pride && conviction. He is more of a politician who grasped at the reins rather than wither away, people found his harmless yet gentle face something to confine in, radiant && guiding. Prior to his death, to be loved by him was a blessing, essentially he is known for remembering prior consorts to whom he deems ‘my love eternal’. His symbolism revolves around wolves, lances as he specialized in pole arms, wisteria blossoms, always garbed in purple or royal hues && his domain was that of a bronze mirror. In modern day, his vessel incarnated the spirit of his twin thus garnishing favor. Though, in his death, his corpse was butchered, spread around to hide the secrets he died with that could bring ruination to those who denounced him.

wtf do you mean dark coquette i'll kill you

[sniffanimal]

Praying for the day we stop using "femme" to mean "not those icky cishet men". My hot take is that if you want your event or group to be a safe space for women, trans people, and other queer people your goal should be to create an atmosphere and culture of respect and support, not use weird vague definitions to wink wink nudge nudge keep out genders you arbitrarily decide are unwelcome

Ok obviously first thing I will do is find a Viki screen shot solution…but friends even if you have already seen Advance Bravely, please watch Vicki’s trailer…it’s a masterpiece.

The shoulders are indeed not ordinary…

i haven’t really talked on here before about being a butch and any related topics to tht but i wanted to for a bit cause of some convos i had with my gf so here we go (we had this convo after some discourse on twitter a while back about hdhdgdhdhfhdh)

i kept seeing people (very specifically white cis femmes) talk about how butch lesbian sexuality is misogynistic because of some tweet a butch made about wanting her femme to suck her strap. butch lesbian sexuality is ALWAYS seen as misogynistic by outsiders because they view us as men so anything we do is equivalent to a man doing it, despite the obvious fact that butch lesbians receive hate for their masculinity and cannot hold the same position as men due to not being men. butches also specifically threaten the regime of cishetpatriarchy because specifically divorce themselves from manhood while being masculine.

ik this convo isn’t really new or groundbreaking, i jst really needed to get my thoughts out on this topic and hopefully it resonates with some people. also, since i’m somewhat new to id’ing as butch (3 months 🥳) it would kinda be nice if some people could list out some useful stuff to read about butchfemme history cause i know the general basics but i’d love to know more so thank you hghghgghgg

horror moment when I am fully clocked by this 5 year old asking loudly "mommy is that a boy or a girl?" and I'm trying so hard not to bust out laughing because the mom is MORTIFIED because she sure as hell dont know so I tell him I'm a boy and he's like "but I can see your hair? it's blue!" and his mom bless her soul pointed out that she had green hair so I think I am the first boy with dyed hair this kid has ever seen 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my work gender is literally whatever will get you want you want and out the door fastest i dont care. I have old dudes calling be buddy and frat boys calling me bro some days and hijabi girlies telling me about their hair dye disasters and have customers that seek me out because I'm the only femme/faggot on staff. I hope every time someone calls me miss or lady because they think I'm a trans woman that support goes to a trans girls in need. I know.im 5'2 and care about my appearance. I'm aheem/ahiim at this point

Femme Fatale Guide: Lingerie Essentials Every Women Should Own

Simple everyday bra and underwear sets in black and nude that match your skin tone: Think of items like a lined bra and seamless thong/bikini panty set. My favorites are the SKIMS Fits Everybody Push-Up Bra paired with the matching Fits Everybody Thong and the Natori Feathers bra paired with the Natori French Cut Briefs.

Sexy yet practical bra and underwear sets: Sexier options you can still wear every day and look good under your clothes. Consider an all-lace or animal print bra with coordinating all-lace or sheer underwear – love the bra options from Chantelle, Natori, Cosabella, and Simone Perele (these are pricey, so I look for them on sale) paired with Natori or Cosabella underwear. My favorite styles are the Natori Push-Up bras (I'm super flat-chested, so I need it for my clothes to fit properly, lol – otherwise the Natori Flora Contour Underwire Bra is stunning) with the Cosabella Never Say Never Comfie Thong & Natori Bliss Allure Lace Full Brief.

Ultra-sexy bra and underwear sets: Less so for clothes, more for yourself or for show. I love Fleur Du Mal for these bra/underwear lingerie sets.

Strapless bra: Natori Feather Strapless Bra. Thank me later!!

Lace bralette: Something comfortable that still feels a bit sexy. I love the options from Journelle, Cosabella, and Natori.

Satin/silk robe: To wear after the shower or around the house. Lilysilk, Victoria's Secret, Cosabella, and Fleur Du Mal have great options.

A quality pair of black tights: I love HUE and Wolford! The control top ones always feel the best for me, personally.

Sheer black thigh-highs with lace-stay-up detailing: Natori Feather range ftw yet again!

Sheer black tights with or without back seam detailing: Hue and Wolford, always!

Simple bodysuit/shapewear bodysuit: The SKIMS ones are great.

Elevated shapewear bodysuit (in a fabric like satin, lace, or vegan leather): I love the Spanx Shaping Satin Thong Bodysuit and the Commando Faux Leather bodysuit – perfect to wear with a pair of jeans and a blazer.

High-waisted sculpting underwear: SKIMS Seamless Sculpt is my favorite (runs on the smaller side!)

Satin slip dress: Can be worn at home or with a blazer/leather jacket for a night out.

Fully lace or lace trim slip dress: If wearing it alone could run someone's life, you're doing it right. Love the one from Cosabella. If you want to wear it out, try a vegan leather bralette, an opaque black brief, and lace or sheer black tights for a "naked" dress look or black pants/denim for a night-out look. Otherwise, save this one to feel sexy while relaxing at home or to wow a partner any night of the week. If you want some ultra-glamorous options, I suggest checking out Oséree but their items are $$$$ as a fair warning.

Satin/silk cami & shorts or pants set: For some equally comfortable and sexy loungewear or pajama options. I love styles with lace trim for that added feminine touch.

a little trans bayojeanne scene below the cut, from a WIP I am working on

Jeanne watches Bayonetta bring a hand to her jaw, two fingers pressed gently just to the left of her chin, eyes focused on the children in the street below. It’s an old, nervous habit, back from the early days of their teenage years where the stubble would irritate her skin and Jeanne could reliably find her best friend in front of a mirror scowling at her reflection, shaving razor in hand.

She had spent late hours alone pouring over tomes in order to find a solution back then, determined to bring an end to the frustration. In the end, it had been her first successful spell modification (the conspicuous missing patches of hair on her legs that would never grow back the remaining proof of her early tests). She had presented it as a birthday gift for Cereza that year. It is with an undeniable fondness that she recalls the look of gratitude and love in her eyes, how Cereza had clung to her for long moments, assuring her that it was the best gift she had ever received. 

She remembers before then with a deep fondness too - the bold kisses she had pressed to the edges of her cheek and jaw, stubble coarse and pleasant against her lips, assuring Cereza of her beauty. Even clearer in her mind are the blushes they would both sport for long minutes after, hands tentatively brushing, too afraid to do anything more, to acknowledge what was blossoming between them. It feels silly, that for how far they’ve come Jeanne still feels like her younger self, blushing hopelessly over the woman she loves, still unable to do more than stare in awe.

when i started this blog something that was really important to me was prioritizing zelda herself/women from loz. like i remember feeling like all the fanart i saw was either link or zelda WITH link, and most of the fics i read focused on link’s perspective while zelda played a supporting role. and like if you know me you know i love zelink (if you don’t know me, hi, i like zelink, lmao) but it kinda bugged me how skewed everything felt. and in time y’know i’ve gotten distracted lost interest here and there etc. but i’m gonna go back to making more of a conscious effort to share content prioritizing women again

i love link too and i’ll still obvi be sharing link-centric content don’t get me wrong but he gets enough spotlight from fandom. i feel. so i’m going to give a little more space to the girls here

what if this was a discreet, lowkey starter call for crowley in the 60s-70s bc i have. so very fucking many thoughts? actually?

[signedjehanne]

some self proclaimed leftist tme trans people really do need to go back to gender lessons 101 because wearing dresses =/= flagging yourself as a woman like guys i thought we covered this 10 years ago
