Might have made this post before, but I was thinking about She Ra and in the prom episode... why were the two most gnc women also the episode's two main antagonists?

the conversation about how we talk about marginalized men aside, this really is just inherently flawed from a conceptual level.

if you take a character that embodies traditional femininity as dictated by gender norms and you make that character a man that is, quite literally, Inherently subversive of those gender norms.

if you took cinderella and you made her a man that would Easily open up the opportunity to explore and comment on gender, gender roles, And cinderella as a character.

the framework assumes masculinity as non-subversive when the reality is that the form of masculinity that is accepted is highly specific and easy (and Necessary) to challenge.

October 20th was International Pronouns Day, so this Saturday we have a special Picture Book Parade that's all about pronouns! These colorful children's books talk about how to use pronouns, introduce kids to the many different pronouns they can use, and talk you through what to do if you don't know which ones are for you 🏷️✏️❓

really want to draw all of the different canon fits for the gangrel fledgeling on temerice. her base fit is directly based off of the first one anyways but i mean the other 3 and the war form too

more seriously it is REALLY interesting to me that, on one hand, we have people claiming that the original thor movies were "toxically masculine" for asking you to "take everything so seriously", and ragnarok was actually doing a Feminist Act in fixing this (by... making men express less emotion), and on the other hand we've always had misogynists claiming that the original thor movies are an embarrassment, too silly/cheesy/camp/melodramatic/etc, clearly Gay And For Girls.

like. a LOT of people get uncomfortable when they see men expressing too much sincere, vulnerable emotion. but here one group that's mostly cis women says the problem is masculinity, and another group that's mostly cis men says the problem is femininity. like... you see something you that doesn't meet your gendered standards/expectations, and you get uncomfortable... and then you try to justify it through gender war. the whole zeitgeist in a nutshell.

(but also, somehow, the solution to "bad" masculinity is "good" masculinity, never femininity, and that "good" masculinity is closer to the ideal/norm, and yet this is apparently "camp"... gender non-conformity can be good in theory, but in practice... not like that! never like that!!!)

On a *much* lighter note: I'm warming up to devastation bc her major flaw is such an easy fix.

And I'm very curious to see what will happen to the psimon/bruno dynamic after adding a brick shithouse butch to it 🫶

I'm a simple creature. My dream is to have a cool story-lead survival horror game with a gnc afab protagonist

"persona 2 remakes would be pretty cool you know i love persona 2 personally but theyre not very accessible both from an accessibility for disabled people pov and from the pov of someone who doesnt want to emulate, not to mention the gameplay has aged immensely and some elements are really questionable a-" [remembering the presence of both queerness & a fat character and the very distinct absence of (& bigotry towards) these groups in persona 5] "you know what nevermind."

ORV as textposts 39/???

[Photo ID - 10 images from the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint manhwa with Tumblr posts pasted upon them.

The first image shows the backs of nine members of the main cast as they look toward the sun in the background. The text post is by Tumblr user daisies-on-a-cup and reads, "THEY DID IT THEY ESCAPED THE NARRATIVE!!! THERE IS A WAY OUT!!! THE STORY CAN BE ALTERED!!! YOU ARE NOT STUCK-THERE IS AN ESCAPE!!!! THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL BUT YOU HAVE TO WALK TOWARDS IT!!!!"

The second image shows Kim Dokja in a suit with his hand on his hip. The text post is by Tumblr user yuridefender and reads, "i do love stories that start out with the protagonist going "hi! 👋😀 i am such a normal guy. the most average person ever. 😄 an average joe even. i have no friends or enemies. i spend my time reading books and sing to myself on occasions. nothing to see here! ^^" and it turns out that not only are they a liar but also the most fucked up person ever. and a cunt"

The third image shows Kim Dokja with a shocked face. Yoo Joonghyuk is clutching Kim Dokja's shoulder as he falls. Lee Hyungsung is behind Kim Dokja on the viewer's right, and Yoo Sangah and Shin Yoosung are running toward Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk from the viewer's left.

The fifth image shows Yoo Joonghyuk yelling dramatically. The text post is by Tumblr user fembutchboygirl and reads, "He's a cis man. He's transfem. He's nonbinary. He has 35 genders. He's a cis woman. He's a trans man. Gender, he barely knows her. He's transmasc. He's gnc. He doesn't know what a pronoun is. I didn t say his name but he popped into your head didn't he"

The sixth image shows Yoo Joonghyuk staring at Kim Dokja while he holds him by the throat. Kim Dokja is slightly beaten up and smirking back at him. The text post is by Tumblr user neilgayman69 and reads, "They have never canonically fucked. But also they have, and they should, and it would be a horrible idea."

The text post is by Tumblr user billypotts and reads, "stories about time travel are about two things. number one is inevitable tragedy. number two is seeing that inevitable tragedy and saying oh god I will make this right please even if I can't fix it I will try to make this right. also I lied they're about three things and third is obviously love"

The eighth image is a close-up of Kim Dokja with smile and dull eyes against a black background. The text post is by Tumblr user raylangivins and reads, "I love a character who's like "I know exactly who I am and I'm being very authentic about it" and then when you analyse his behaviour even a little bit you realise his self perception is completely selective and delusional."

The text post is by Tumblr user notsoni and reads, "Not soulmates but it always had to be them and they weren't destined to be together but they were doomed to be but also it took everything for them to get here and also it was never supposed to happen but also it always was and had to happen this way. Hope this helps"

Ladies, if you are looking for a TV show that

talks about period stigma

arranged marriages

purity culture and virginity

the hold Catholicism has on Polish culture today

misogyny and how GNC women are treated in Romani culture

racism against Romani people in Poland

then you should look up Infamy (or Infamia), it's only 8 episode long, it's on Netflix and it's about a Romani teenage girl in Poland in 2023. It's very good, the creative team worked with Romani consultants, and although the main characters aren't played by Romani actors, the secondary and background characters are. You can also hear actual Romani language in some scenes!

It got barely any promotion and after the show was released, Romani male antiracist activists attacked it and tried to boycott the show, calling it racist because it criticizes Romani cultural misogyny. That show is so important because you barely see Romani protagonists in media; it is the first time a big platform, like Netflix, does something like that, while also being careful to consult Romani people and work with them; it discusses incredibly important issues that are usually invisible; but instead of hyping it up, those Romani males attacked it.
