#gods i love being butch

[wyrmwright]

the love you can't even name

[getupthestairs]

fat butches.. reblog if you agree

[dykeby]

Not to be all soft butch on you but I love being a lesbian and trans, myself being a transmasc non binary lesbian and my femme being a trans woman. Our lesbianism is so sacred, we have a very close understanding of how much gender is linked to queerness and we know exactly what to say when dysphoria hits.

I say I want top surgery and she's such a beautiful soul that understands how it feels to want to appear how you are inside, I don't worry that her love for boobs means she'll be sad mine are gone. She says she's nervous about not having any effects from hrt and you can bet that I am laying her down and tracing every part of her and telling her each difference I see.

I'm a butch and she's a femme, the dynamic is special and feels so right for us, being a trans lesbian is so beautiful

hi everyone today i bring you. more women :)

a continuation of this last post, Ahab openly presents as a woman aboard her ship because she has enough job security at this point to do whatever she wants and her gender identity is essentially "call me sir, but beyond that who cares". Starbuck is still bigender as usual, so she initially went "undercover" as a man to get into the industry and then stuck with the disguise long term because she likes the way it feels to be Nathaniel. Meanwhile Fedallah is free balling tbh, she's under Ahab's protection on the Pequod and everyone's an asshole to her anyways so she truly could not give less of a fuck. All three use she/her, except for when Starbuck is undercover.

also *said through tears* ahab and fedallah are FRIENDS btw. they LOVE each other and she's FINE. melville when i GET you

also, side note because I don't think I ever mentioned it, but Starbuck is ID'd as "middle aged" in my art because (s)he is based on @pocketsizedquasar 's adaptation, where Starbuck's age has been interpreted to be around 40. <3 aging :)

anyways GIRLS! I've heard of them 👀

hearing the words "my butch" and knowing how truely they are spoken is one of the most intense feelings you can ever feel

[ponyrepress]

Shoutout to queer masculinity. Butches, transmascs, amab people who enjoy the masculine parts of themselves, gnc people, etc etc. No if ands or buts.

Thinking about how sad it is the about of femme4butch transfems who have accepted its probably just not going to happen.

An entire large facet of not only identity but community and you just know its likely not for you. Cus of transmisogyny. Because of fatphobia. Because of the separatism that laid waste to those communities in the 20th century.

And so we wistfully sigh that sad lonely sigh, waiting for a butch who knows how to treat a women, Every Women, properly

Went out today and felt butch as hell. I know you all have only seen my more femme clothes but wanted to give you loves a taste of my limited (not for long 😈) butch wardrobe.

well now i'm very curious how Yasha dealt with (gestures vaguely at the endgame) All That 👀👀

AH YES. ALL THAT

Under the cut for spoilers because i knowwww some mutuals are still playing (also dont look at the tags i 100% rambled there too abt it)

So first and foremost Yasha was extremely overwhelmed by well. EVERYTHING in that moment, even if she didn’t pray often or showed many signs of devotion she never thought to doubt that they weren’t well. Really Gods. Learning all that made her feel like a ticking time bomb, a “If anyone so much as looks at me the wrong way I will break down” moment.

Talking with Thaos didn’t even help in the slightest, she was too angry, too sad, too grief stricken maybe. After all, her father had sent her away from their home in the Living Lands to encourage her to become more in touch with Galawain, the God her family had been devout to. The sole reason she even became a hunter, like her parents before her and their parents before them. And she really wanted to become more ‘in touch’ with him, whatever that meant. She wanted to make her parents proud, wanted to have the comfort of a God that she so often seemed to lack. It all suddenly felt like such a waste now, and to be face to face with this supposed maker of these false Gods, WELL. SHE WASNT TOO GLAD TO HEAR HIM TALK MUCH

She did ask him to just admit to what he did, she wanted to hear it. Maybe even needed to hear it, as some form of closure, maybe. Yasha ultimately decided to destroy his soul, stating that he’s caused her too much pain.

And then, the souls. It felt kind of crushing that choice, but ultimately she did decide to return the souls to the bodies they belonged to. It felt right, even if that did go against the wishes of Galawain to whom she did promise to do well… differently. It felt more right to give the Hollow born children, the ones that lived anyhow, their souls back.

And then! She slept for ten million years and nothing will happen to her ever again (I say booting up Deadfire)

making posts about headcanons that have basically no textual backing makes me itchy but someday i should probably elaborate on my opinion that "mirabelle being aroace is the one thing keeping her oblivious to the fact that the dormont house of change is the religious coven equivalent to fleetwood mac"

[butch-with-a-deep-voice]

Got a package in the mail from my femme, vampling. She's clearly covered whatever is inside in her perfume because it's sitting on my desk, and I just keep smelling it and getting hit with the thought of just burying my face in her neck while holding her 💕🥰

"Around 1am that night, he texts me. I think you'd make a beautiful trans man. Have you ever thought about transitioning? I start laughing when I get his text. It's late and I've been procrastinating sleeping, so I'm a little loopy, and once I start laughing, I can't stop. The question feels so patronizing: as if I've never thought about gender and how I choose to present myself, how I dress, how I stand, how I crop my hair short, and what this means. As if I've never thought about what it would be like to live as a man instead, the relief that would come from passing, with not having to face the everyday violence and humiliations of living in my body. As if I've never thought about how I don't want that, how every cell in my body recoils at that thought of being a man, and yet how harrowing it is that the only way I can get out of my bed and make it through the day is by wearing masculinity on my body. As if I've never held dear my feminist rage, never thought about how I feel so politically aligned with womanhood and yet hate inhabiting it, hate it when my body is read as such. As if the only way to be trans is to transition to a binary gender, as if I can't exist as I have been, in some space in between or beyond, using she or they pronouns and seething when people call me a woman and laughing when people tell me I should transition."

My 3 little cousins were baptized today. "Triggered" is kind of a strong word but being in a catholic church again... I'm a little fragile rn ngl.

One last dance with my evil girlfriend.

[dykenav]

okay I’ve gathered a decent number of seemingly promising recs for lesbian fantasies but now I am just literally asking and begging for any book with a butch main character that is not a Sad Contemporary

[thatgarden]

Oh I was going through it, huh.
