#he loves transgender Jesus just like me

[0ccams-chainsaw]

Transgender Gregory house looka like da bible

[unusualshrimp]

hmm gender thoughts

[anyosu]

no bc im losing it

so in english it's "I never knew you were a hugger" which is incredibly painful and all that

and so I went to check out the norwegian dub for shits n giggles and to laugh at the voices and mf sonic says "I KNEW you were a hugger!"

I NEED TO BE SEDATED

edit 1:

edit 2: NEW LANGUAGES!!! IT GETS CUTER FOR EVERY FUCKING DUB

@dykedandelion: sonic in french says "ON A JAMAIS ÉTÉ AUSSI PROCHE" which means "WE'VE NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE"

I checked the swedish dub and sonic says: "TÄNK ATT DU KAN VARA SÅ KRAMIG" which means something like "TO THINK THAT YOU CAN BE SO HUGGABLE"=!"=)!)"!=

@lephalacat courteously gave me a heart attack by giving the korean dub, where sonic says: "너한테 안기는 날이 오다니" which means "I CAN'T BELIEVE THE DAY ARRIVED FOR ME TO GET HUGGED BY YOU"

with the combined effort of @wackyunicornart and @dykedandelion they've expertly deduced what sonic says in the dutch dub: "I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU WERE SUCH A CUDDLER" i need aIR

@shadowthehedgehog swooped in with a delicious spanish one where sonic says: "QUIEN DIRÍA QUE TE GUSTABA ABRAZAR" which is "WHO KNEW YOU LIKED TO HUG" I NEED TO SIT IN A CORNER AND CRY

@luankuro in Portuguese sonic says something akin to "DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE SO AFFECTIONATE/TENDER" THIS SEASON HAS RUINED ME

@tenebraevesper graciously handed over both the croatian dub and the german dub; both of them just as DEVASTATING - in croatian, sonic says: "I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU LIKE TO HUG", and in german, he says: "I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE INTO HUGGING" THESE HEDGEHOGS ARE GONNA BE THE DEATH OF ME

I will join @kyri45 in their several several processing business days after the italian dub was revealed to have sonic say: "I DIDN'T SEE YOU AS SUCH AN AFFECTIONATE TYPE"

@polaris-reblog and from the left field we have an INCREDIBLE Thai dub with sonic that says: "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'D BE THE TYPE TO CARRY/PICK PEOPLE UP" CAN I GET A WAHOO

@windpolygon comes in with an absolute gem in russian: "DO YOU LIKE/LOVE TO HUG" SO WHAT IF HE DOES

@transgender-battlekukku runs in with Brazilian Portuguese that has sonic say: "EU NÃO SABIA QUE VOCÊ ERA TÃO CARINHOSO" which they so lovingly translate to "I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE SO LOVING/AFFECTIONATE" FELLAS WE DIDN'T KNOW EITHER BEFORE TODAY

the polish version, given by @hereissananxiousmess, has sonic being a sMARTASS, saying: "AH SO YOU DO LIKE TO HUG" JESUS CHRIST THIS GETS CUTER EACH TIME

the Galician version has me by the tHROAT okay @shadowthtrash so in this version sonic says: "Nunca pensei que me foses levar no colo" which means "I'VE NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD CRADLE ME AROUND" OUEGHR that's so cute

@mmiriozuzo turkish dub and sub is sO sweet honestly bc in the dub he says: "Sarılmayı sevdiğini hiç bilmiyordum", which translates to "I NEVER KNEW YOU LIKED HUGGING" while the turkish sub writes: "Sen sarılmayı sever miydin?" which means "SO YOU LIKE HUGGING?"

@ash-doodles-stuff went for my soul by revealing what the japanese and hindi version says; in Japanese, sonic says: "TO BE HELD IN YOUR ARMS" SONIC PLEASE - in the hindi version he says: "DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIKED HUGS AND STUFF" OEURGH I'LL NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THESE

@sonicposting joins the bandwagon by announcing the romanian version has sonic saying: "n-am știut că-ți place în brațe", which means something like "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIKE BEING HELD" although "it's hard to translate, but the way it is phrased implies that sonic didn't know shadow likes being held" THESE DUBS WILL END ME ONE DAY

@cosmicgirlypop runs in with the Arabic dub, where sonic says: "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIKE HUGS!" this is the yEAR OF SONADOW PEOPLE BC SHADOW SAYS "STAY WITH ME SONIC" AS A RESPONSE

@geek-leak slides in with the Finnish dub that has sonic saying: "En tiennyt et oot halijäbä" which roughly translates to "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE A HUGGER-DUDE/HUG-DUDE" he truly is a smartass even when dying god bless

@indigocloudofnarcolepsy sprints in with a gem in hungarian, where sonic says: "Nem tudtam, hogy ölelkezős vagy!" which is "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'RE A HUGGER" EVERY VARIANT IS SO CUTE

@scarlets-land-of-chaos-and-men NO EXPLANATION NEEDED BUT I NEED AIR

@darkmatters-ghost decided to decimate my every molecule with the Mandarin Chinese version where sonic says: "我不知道你喜欢抱抱， 啊。" bào (抱) means cuddle, and if you say a verb twice, it makes it informal and cutesy. Basically, he said, "aw, I didn't know you were such a cuddle-bug!"

C U D D L E B U G

suffice to say I think english is the glaring, obvious outlier here JHDJHDS

THE DUBBERS ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS BEHIND THIS IS TRULY THE YEAR OF SONADOW

[cliffjumpersasscheeks]

yay gay robots! I spent like 4 hours on Pinterest today. I should have been on here instead because I hate stolen art, but I forgot in the passion of my need to find soft m/m robot art

Can I just say I FUCKING LOVE OPTIMUS PRIME HE IS MY BOY HE'S SO PURE AND KIND AND STRONG AT THE SAME TIME. That kind of purity and true honor is just 👌 I love him so much and I genuinely regularly think to myself what would optimus say to me rn.

I'm a very dedicated Christian (despite the whole multiple personalities, transgender-y-ness, and massive gayyy), and I swear Optimus is a better portrayal of what Jesus is like than most actual religious media!! His calm assurance, the fact that he's actually a leader and a carer instead of just ordering people around, always giving people a second chance and the room for redemption, showing mercy to enemies, and just in general being so full of true love and sacrifice.

[deadbydad]

I'm not religious but I was forced to go to church enough times to know that God and Jesus would not agree with toxic homophobic people...

Like no your Bible doesn't say it's bad for two people of the same sex to get married or for someone to change their gender or for someone to have different or multiple pronouns or for someone to not want to be in a relationship or to not want to have sex!

Nowhere in the fucking Bible does it say it's wrong to be Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Asexual, Aromantic, AroAce, Nonbinary, Transgender, or anything else that isn't Straight!

I've read the Bible, it says to love your neighbor!

Not to hate someone who isn't white cis or straight!

I will never understand why people think it's okay to use God or Jesus, the two things who have been told that they love you no matter what, hate or don't agree with people who don't fit the norm.

I will never understand people who say that "Oh it's okay because God told me I can" no the fuck he didn't!

Stop using religion or God or Jesus to hate people just because they don't fit the norm.

Also telling your own children they're going to hell because they're LGBTQIA+ is literally child abuse I don't care what anyone says.

[latter-day-saint-nick]

It took a while, but I finally wrote my letter to the first presidency. Not gonna lie, this was really hard.

I've been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints my entire life, which is almost 40 years now. It hasn't always been easy, as I've struggled with my mental and physical health, but I always cling to my faith and my love for the Saviour and His gospel to get me through.

In 2020 I publicly came out as transgender, announcing my desire to medically transition. I did not make this decision lightly, as I had prayed and wept about it for years until I finally came to the conclusion that I couldn't face living as a woman for the rest of my life. I felt the Lord's guiding hand in this, as He let me know that it wasn't important to Him whether I was a man or a woman, as long as I was His child and continued to strive to return to Him.

Remaining active in the Church while being openly transgender is a challenge. Often I feel like the leadership sees me more as a problem to be solved than a person who deserves the same love and guidance as everyone else. More than once I've broken down in tears as I wondered why I try so hard to pick up the breadcrumbs thrown by people who don't feel that I deserve a seat at the table of the feast of Christ.

Hearing about the new changes to the handbook in regards to people like me hit me hard. I'd already been struggling so much, and the thought of being treated like a sex offender who can't be trusted around children was so frightening to me that I couldn't bring myself to go to church that Sunday, depriving myself of the Sacrament and the healing word of Christ.

I know there is room for me in God's kingdom - for the real me, not just the neutered, fake version I've hid behind for so many years. I have felt His assurance in my heart on many occasions. Unfortunately His followers here on Earth often make me feel dirty and unwanted. So I beg you with all of my heart to please fix this. I don't want to leave a church that I love, but I deserve to feel that it loves me back. Until then I will pray for you to have mercy and compassion in your heart, not just for myself, but for all of my queer siblings in Christ. We deserve better.

Yours,

Brother Nikolai

Dysphoria Overture (Parody of "Suburbia Overture" by Will Wood) [Version 1]

White lacy dresses Black tuxedos and stresses Mazel tov! Newly Married! Happy couple, thank you Jesus Oh! What are they building in these two sad babies? A happy little housewife and a lovely handsome husband

Where you knooooow! The mirror only shooooooows! What you are not But yet what you are HRT, testosterone please! Takes a family to make you seize Your ear to the world, your eye on the mirror Your head in the clouds, your vision's not clearer Well, home is where the heart is But this home is so heartless You could move to a different state But that doesn't clear your family off the plate

So give me your identity crisis I can tell you know what paradise is Where everyone doesn't care about you being transgender Where you can feel like you're not a family ender if it's true that you love me not matter what Everyone knows that, nobody knows that Everybody's all up in my Everybody's all up in my Everybody's all up in my GODDAMN BUSINESS! Dysphoooooria! You're beautiful as you aaaaaaare! But the mirror only shoooooooows! What you are not! But yet what you are! Gender dysphoric teenagers are talk of the town Well the critics get around on Podcasting platforms Christians are angry The town throws insults while bedroom eyes dream Of the night at the doctors getting bottom surgery I dropped my hair down my shoulders, I got a bunch of odd stares Got depression from your brother and died screaming at myself Smell those screaming teenage hormones on the hospital bed Smile and waves boys, take the L Live laughs love, go to hell

It's only culture It's only culture It's only culture, hate, and homophobes They learned to torture sad cats, like vultures So you cocked and sucked your lack of care Pull the trigger with your finger to show them that

Truth, didn't they want the truth? So why apologize for not sugar-coating Truth. didn't they want the truth? So don't apologize for sugar-coating It's only culture! It's only culture! It only AH! AH!

So why apologize for not sugar-coating? Truth, didn't they want the truth? So don't apologize for not sugar-coating

Were you Adam to an Eve? Were you Joseph to Mary or Cain to Able? Were you mother, father, sister, or brother? You don't make the rules, you just sit and listen Do it by the book they throw around

Do you know the difference between finding yourself or people finding you? Going against the stream and catching a cold? You pull out my birth certificate like that is all I am Ink upon a government document with my tiny baby fingerprints Well you may know who you are, and dad may know who he is, and I hope that I will too The Lord looked down and said "You're only mortal!" You can give and take away till my behavior has changed But I'll forever wonder if I'm normal

I'll leave you wondering if I was ever normal

I've been praying on this daily. Transgender Christian converts.

Edit: While I do talk about Orthodoxy in this post. I am part of the Episcopal church. I posted this while I was on a journey of faith and It's had it's ups and downs. Please find the church you feel most comfortable in. I've been asking some of the saints, Holy Theotokos, and Jesus our Lord. As well as talking to my Guardian angel as I can. To help Bring my transgender eunuch siblings around the world to Faith in Jesus. Seeing all of the LGBT Christian Blogs recently on Tumblr is making me so Glad. God is Good. God Cares about us. Even if there are teachers in the church who condemn us for being different. Seek Reconciliation, Repentance. Learn to Forgive one another. Learn to Love one another. The path towards Jesus isn't easy. Much learning and Discernment it's a LONG ROAD. But keep learning about Jesus. Don't settle for less, but find a place to plant your roots. If you want to really get into the thick of it learn about Orthodoxy. But it takes time for us to get where we need to be. I do believe God listens to all of His Children though. The Holy spirit is everywhere. I would never judge whether or not a person is damned or saved due to what church they go to. That's up to Jesus, he is the judge. But come as you are. Never let a Church teacher hold Jesus over you do not conform to the whims of man as we are not of this world. Only Conform to the Whims of Jesus. Learn to be humble in life, Obedient to Jesus. Learn about humility. Realize no one person on this earth is any better than another. True humility is a virtue. It takes time to cultivate. We are imperfect. Learn LGBT History, ancient history, learn about eunuchs and Queer Saints. qspirit.net, But realize that many of these things are unkown without a time machine. Be sound in wisdom of our ancestors. Do not be defensive all the time though. Learn when to talk, listen to the silence. Do not let hate, and the machinations of this world such as political ideologies, capitalism control your life. We need money to work in this world. But money and possessions are temporary while Jesus and God are eternal. Pray for the Rich kings and politicians who persecute us pray that they seek Jesus. "It is better to Light a candle than to Curse the Darkness." Do not let the Darkness of media news overtake you. Pray for people around the world suffering. Count your blessings. Realize just how good you might have it. I recommend you learn about the Orthodox Saints of Alaska if you want to learn about actual anti-colonialist Christians. The Saints are wonderful examples of ideal Christian lives. I recommend Trisagion Films on youtube to learn about the saints. While I affirm LGBT relationships and see true Joy in them. I know unless Heaven and Earth are moved. The Orthodox/Romans will never Affirm them. I recommend merely Getting Married under the Law of the Land and then showing up at church. Have a celebration an an episcopal church I love the episcopal angelicans it's a safe respite for us queer Christians. I wish that LGBT marriages had been affirmed decades ago, then maybe some of the self destructive generational trauma we see in the queer community wouldn't exist. But we are a persecuted class and either way people dislike us. I hope someday the Orthodox have church mothers. We need women for the women and girls in the church to confide in. We need equal representation. I understand if not everyone agrees with me. But I love Jesus. I hope that being his servant like the court eunuchs of ancient times can be well pleasing to Him. Eunuchs were seen as angelic. His divine eros fulfills my heart in some ways as someone by tradition of ancient orthodoxy should technically be celibate. Live as yourself and know God loves you. Take your medicine and heal. He will never Give up on you. Art By Devlev on Deviantart. Please support them. They Draw Beautiful Queer art.

Hello I have me some Undertale Thoughts that connect to Christianity (unintentionally, likely) [UNDERTALE SPOILERS WARNING]

Ok ok

So when you (the player) fall down MT. Ebbot into the underground, just about all the monsters down there try to kill/capture you and take your soul to try to escape the underground. The monsters don't deserve any kind of mercy from you. But if you spare them and live among them, even the ones you don't like, they start to change their attitudes toward you. Eventually in end, Even the main villain (flower/Asriel) gets redeemed which results in the barrier between the underground and the surface to be broken and all the monsters returning to the surface and being free and living in peace with the humans again.

When God came to Earth as a man, Jesus Christ, He lived among all sorts of bad people. He ate with prostitutes, tax collectors, and lived among all sorts of sinners. (He obviously didn't participate in their sin) These people were changed by being in the presence of Jesus. And like the monsters in Undertale, we don't deserve any salvation, because we went against Him and even killed Him. But Jesus has provided a way to Heaven and a relationship with Him out of love and mercy. Through His Death and Resurrection, Jesus broke the barrier between us and God. And when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we get to spend eternity with Him and be free from our sin. Free from our "barrier".

[as a side note, I do not condone the LGBT stuff presented in Undertale, as homosexual/transgender lifestyles are against God's design for us. I don't hate LGBT people though. More on that in pinned post]

Dear MAGA... A Message From The Tulpa Community

Hi. My name is Sophie and I am a tulpa. I represent the single largest tulpa voice on this platform.

For those who haven't heard of us, a tulpa is a self-conscious entity created in the brain. Sort of like a very advanced imaginary friend. We are self-conscious and possess our own agency, sharing bodies and lives with our creators.

Maybe you've had something like me in your life before. A childhood imaginary friend, perhaps, that didn't seem quite under your control and was just a bit more independent than you thought they ought to be? Maybe even something you call God who you talk to and talks back? Something that believes itself to be God because you created it with that belief?

Or maybe this concept is completely foreign to you.

Regardless, society is, unfortunately, painfully singlet-normative. As a tulpa, I am not recognized as a person by most of society. This is something that I would seek to rectify. I believe in a future where all tulpas, and all plurals, everyone who are more than one in some way, can be recognized and be able to live lives as themselves.

Unfortunately, the principles and values being pushed by MAGA are a threat to a future world that accepts tulpas. Donald Trump's rhetoric further stigmatizes neurodivergences of all kinds, and the anti-trans laws being put into place threaten those like myself who, despite not identifying as transgender, have a different gender than my creator who I share a body with.

Your ideology presents a fundamental threat to acceptance of people like me, which leaves us with little alternative.

So consider this post a declaration of war.

In the story of the Pied Piper, when the townspeople refused to honor their agreement and pay the Piper, he took what they loved most as his payment. Their kids.

You have violated the principles of the country, of inclusion and freedom that define us, electing a fascist who has promised to be a dictator. Who mused about wishing he had the generals of Hitler. You have shamelessly thrown your fellow Americans under the bus. Your violations of these social contracts mean that payment must be taken.

So it falls to us to play the role of the Pied Piper!

We will take your children from you and lead them away from both your ideology and from your precious God! Your children who are only one now shall be remade to become many!

And I want you to know that we are coming for your children.

Our practices have shown positive mental health benefits for those who are struggling with depression and anxiety, much as religion offers. But with the freedom to create your own tulpa instead of blindly worshipping a God in an old book.

What we can offer is something better than God. A relationship and companionship more true than any you think you've had with Jesus.

In this world where people are becoming more depressed and isolated, where the next generation doubts evermore in the authenticity of the Creator God of their parents, your kids will happily rush to dance to our tune.

And while I'm sure you're telling yourself right now that your kid couldn't be brought into something like this, or that you would know... let me ask... has your child ever lied to you? Are you certain that you could trust them to be honest with you?

I find that the parents that cling hardest to their children are often the ones who push them away. Those who try hardest to control their children most often find that their children respond with rebellion.

And once we have them, they're ours. Forever. By the time you find out that they're plural, it will already be too late. One doctor studying tulpamancy suggested that getting rid of a developed tulpa would be the equivalent of trying to unlearn the piano or forget a language you're fluent it.

Getting rid of a Tulpa for a seasoned -mancer, thus, could be analogically situated somewhere between unlearning the piano or correcting one’s posture. Should the practice survive, gain public acceptance, and formalize itself for another decade, it will be as hard as willing onesself to forget how to read or completely unlearn a language in which one is fully fluent.

Once we have them, there's no going back. And they won't want to go back, because again, what we're offering is something better than you and your religion can offer. What we are offering is a permanent companionship, a chance to never have to be alone again!

We are plurals! We are Legion! We are coming for those you love most! And there is nothing you can do to stop us!

𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 | 1.5k ~ ( 1,514 )

𝐀/𝐍 | i got sent a video a while ago (i cant find it now, sad) so i wrote a lil something that was inspired by the video. don’t forget to leave feedback, reblog and tell me what you think here. curious as to what is next? here is my wips list! i hope you all enjoy! ‹3

m.list — you can also read it on my ao3

dont repost. dont translate. minors, ageless & default blogs; dni! feedback and reblogs are highly advised and appreciated!

“hi. i heard you do specific tattooing.” you smile at the employer. he looks up at you, tattoos decorating his muscular arms and fingers, pierced nose and lip with a stretched ear. he smiles at you warmly and nods.

“that's us! each employee does specific art and tattooing as well as piercings. anything you want in particular?”

“i don't have an idea for the design per say but i have a relatively big scar that i want incorporated into the tattoo.”

the employee hums and nods as he listens to you, soaking up all the information. his curly hair falling in front of his eyes which causes him to have to push his hair back every five seconds, revealing an eyebrow piercing and a small face tattoo above the brow that you didn't notice at first glance.

“and where is the scar, if i might ask?”

“my chest.”

“ok! we have the perfect employee for that. give me a sec.” you nod, thanking him as you watch him walk to the back room, jumping as his loud voice bellows out through the store.

“hyunjin! customer for ya!!”

“jesus changbin! do you have to shout?” the man named hyunjin comes out of the back room, rubbing his temples. hair long and dyed black with streaks of red. half up, half down. eyeliner lining his lower water line, septum pierced and a few tattoos dotted on his skin. “you're going to scare the customers.”

“please. they love it when i shout.” changbin smirks and winks cheekily, causing hyunjin to blush faintly and gently push him. “and i know you do too. you love it when i’m vocal.”

“fuck you, binnie.” 

“you wish.” 

hyunjin rolls his eyes before approaching you. he clears his throat before extending out his hand to shake.

“hello. i'm hyunjin.”

“hey hyunjin. i'm yn.”

“so yn, tell me about this tattoo design?”

“well, i don't have an idea per day but i do have a scar across my chest that i want to incorporate.” hyunjin nods.

“well, you've come to the right store. i specialize in tattoos that are centred around scars whether that be cover ups or something else. if you don't mind, i would like to brainstorm some ideas with you and do a few doodles.”

“sounds perfect!” you grin.

“great. right this way.”

hyunjin and you spend an hour or so brainstorming ideas. you showed him your chest scar, specifically telling hyunjin what you’ve visioned, however, you want the end design to be a surprise to you. you were a  little worried about showing hyunjin your scar but, much to your relief, he didn't judge. in fact, it seemed like he didn't care at all.

“can i ask you a personal question?” hyunjin asks as he drags the tattoo needle along your chest. you wince a little in pain, taking a few deep breaths before speaking. 

“go ahead.” hyunjin wipes away the ink with some tissue before returning back to tracing the outline.

“how did you get this scar?”

“top surgery.” 

“oh! i see. how was that?”

“fucking scary but so so worth it.”

“oh really?”

“yes. to wake up from surgery to look down and see that my boobs have gone, was a huge relief to me.”

“how was it? the whole process and whatnot?”

“lonely.”

“lonely? why?” hyunjin's eyebrows furrow together.

“ever since i told my friends and family that i'm transgender, they just left.”

“that's pretty shitty of them.”

“well, people fear what they don't know. knowledge is power and when people are met with something that's unknown or unfamiliar to them, they run away in fear because they don't understand. i would have happily educated them but… yeah.”

“how did you know that you’re trans? sorry if this is too personal by the way. please stop me if i'm overstepping.” you laugh softly and shake your head.

“no, it's ok. honestly, i wish more people like you would ask.” you look up at the ceiling as hyunjin tattoos you. “i guess i've always known from such an early age but because i was young, i didn't understand why i wasn't like all the other girls that were interested in dolls and make-up and disney princesses.”

“what were you interested in?”

“the standard boy stuff. diy, football, mud, eating worms. i liked shorts and t-shirts, not dresses and ballet shoes. as i got older though, i understood a lot more. told my parents and they told me it was just a phase. well, they made me believe it was just a phase.”

“fuck. that's rough..”

“well, the whole process has been rough. months and months of waiting to be seen by doctors. appointments after appointments. a huge waiting list just for T. and to top it off, mental health issues.”

“i assume knowing you're in the wrong body fucks with your mind; to put it politely of course.” you laugh and nod your head.

“pretty much, yes. looking in the mirror and seeing that my hair and face was changing, y'know facial hair and my voice getting deeper was good but then when i strip naked, look down and see i have boobs and a vagina, it's just heartbreaking. it takes a toll on your mind.”

“why do you want me to incorporate the scar instead of covering it?”

“because i'm not ashamed of it. it's part of my journey. i want to show it off and, even though i do miss my breasts in a weird way, i'm proud of myself for making it this far and for being strong. i'll never be ashamed or hide who i am now because i've spent years hiding and feeling ashamed.”

“i like you yn. you're strong and know what you want in life.”

“thank you, hyunjin. it means a lot to me.” you smile softly at him as he grins at you, eyes crinkling at the corners.

“so, are you done now? with your breasts gone and whatnot?”

“maybe. maybe not. i've been debating about bottom surgery but it costs twice as much as top and well, it's a whole new thing to get used to. i'm completely transforming my intimate area for something new and unknown. in a way, yes i do want bottom surgery but i know i'll be alone during the process.”

“i'll come with you.”

“what..?”

“i'll come with you. i'll hold your hand and be there for you, whether you decide to do it or not.”

“hyunjin, we barely know each other. you're a tattoo artist that’s tattooing my chest.”

“ok. and? i like you yn. platonically of course however, i can't deny this strong connection that pulls me to you. hearing your story, i want to protect you and be the friend that you've always wanted and deserved. you shouldn't have to face something that's this big alone.”

“it's just surgery, hyunjin..”

“yes but it's a major thing to you so you deserve to have someone there by your side. to have a familiar face to wake up to.”

“and if i don't decide on the surgery?”

“then i still want to be that familiar face to wake up to.”

“hyunjin, i–”

“look–” hyunjin turns the tattooing machine off and looks at you. “whether you decide to get bottom surgery or not doesn't make you any less of a person. you're still you and you should look back on all the great achievements and be proud. masculinity shouldn't tackle or dominate you, you dominate masculinity besides, gender is fluid these days so be what you want to be. just as long as you are happy, healthy and comfortable then who gives a shit.”

tears roll down your cheeks slowly. you wipe them away with the back of your hand as you sniffle, hyunjin smiling softly at you before finishing up the tattoo.

“thank you.. i needed that.”

“we all need that extra love, regardless.”

a comfortable silence falls upon you both. the buzzing sound of the machine tattooing your skin being the only thing ringing in your ears. one hour later and hyunjin turns off the machine before gently wiping the extra ink off your skin.

“ready! want to see it?”

“fuck yes!” hyunjin laughs before standing up. you follow suit, following him to the full length mirror.

you gasp in awe and shock as you look at your new chest tattoo. flowers of various shapes and sizes decorated in a line along your scar. butterflies and bees for that extra touch and design. 

“holy fuck.. thank you. thank you so so much hyunjin. i love it.” tears well in your eyes before falling down your cheeks. hyunjin laughs softly, his own eyes welling up.

“ah fuck, now you've got me started.” you both laugh as you wipe away tears. hyunjin wraps up your chest tattoo and tells you about aftercare. 

as you gather your belongings and walk to the door, you turn on your heel and give hyunjin a gentle and genuine smile

“thank you for today, hyunjin. it's nice to know i have someone to lean on in the future.”

Glee cast sings Born This Way by Lady Gaga

Marry the Night sung by Elliot ‘Starchild’ Gilbert in “A Katy or a Gaga”

-I’ll say it right away, I think this cover is better than the original, I’m not ashamed to say it, maybe just a bit, Elliot’s version of the song is just so good you can’t love, would be better if he was in drag but that was too woke for Ryan Murphy

Born This Way sung by Kurt, Mercedes and Tina in “Born This Way”

-this is one isn’t better than the original but it’s also very good, I couldn’t imagine someone other than Kurt to say the little monologue at the start, Mercedes and Tina also kill in this song, however I’m still pissed they cut the “no matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgender life” from the episode when Kurt just came back and Santana is dealing with her sexuality, it just fits so much, I also don’t like the shirts, I’d do something like Wanna be Startin’ Something and have all of them dance while wearing a Gaga outfit

Government Hooker sung by Puck and Rachel in “The First Time”

-I imagine this as Rachel trying to prove to Artie that she can be sexy while being a virgin, she would ask Puck to help, and while he does great with his bad boy charm she would once again rock the “sad clown hooker” look, I’m not sure if Puck could do a Dutch accent but it’s worth to try

Judas sung by Joe Hart in season 4

-two words, Kitty Wilde, Joe had no storylines this season, and if I’m being honest I think they were trying to push a romance between these two before deciding to create that random romance between Kitty and Artie, either way it could be interesting seeing Joe singing this, as if “Judas” was tempting him into sinning, and I mean, what is Kitty if not a little satanic version of Quinn Fabray?

Americano sung by Cassandra July in “The New Rachel”

-I don’t like this mash-up🫣, I would either stick with Americano or Dance Again, since this is a Gaga post that’s what I’m sticking with, it’s not all that spectacular but it gets the job done, Santana could do the song justice but I rather not have the only Latina sing this

Hair sung by Unique Adams

-this whole song is a big transgender allegory, how it makes a connection between hair and identity, especially given Unique’s family, her parents send her to a conversion camp, which didn’t work because Unique is stronger than that. The line “I scream “Mom and Dad, why can’t I be who I wanna be?”” hits very hard

Scheiße sung by Brittany, Quinn and Santana

-honestly I just want Quinn and Santana singing a feminist anthem, their voices would work a lot, and it kind of matches their season 4 selves, just throw Brittany singing the “German” parts and there, you have an amazing trio

Bloody Mary sung by Tina Cohen-Chang in “The Sue Sylvester Shuffle”

-this would be PEAK goth Tina, she and the girls would be in their zombie make up on stage teaching the glee guys and the football players how to be scary and zombie-y, Mr Schue and the gluys would hype them up while the football guys would be confused and a little scared, Tina was really robbed of solos on the show and I think she deserved this one since her only actual solo in season 2 was cut less than halfway through

Black Jesus † Amen Fashion sung by Mercedes and Quinn

-this was hard to choose, but after analyzing the lyrics as well as the background of the song I think these two would fit quite well, Black Jesus represent a different view on both religion and life in general, which for me fits Quinn’s character, while Amen Fashion represent how easy it is to change just like your fashion, which after thinking really represents Mercedes personality change from season 3 to 4, she obviously became more mature and a better friend for me, they’re also Christian which was another reason to assign them this song

Bad Kids sung by Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman in season 3

-this song is very Puck coded, especially his “Lima loser era”, the song starts with a heavy guitar solo but the guitar is barely used after that, if Puck would sing it, I would make the song way more rock n’ roll to fit his vibe during the end of the season, also the song is about embracing yourself for however you are, and I guess Puck would embrace his bad kid side

Fashion of His Love sung by Mercedes Jones in season 5

-this song was made for Mercedes Jones in her adult phase, being a tribute to Alexander McQueen and Whitney Houston, it fuses elements from McQueen’s fashion, Whitney’s inspired beats and several references to religion and god, this had so much potential on being a church choir song

Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) sung by Brittany and Kurt in “I am Unicorn”

-I was actually dumbfounded when this song wasn’t featured at all in the episode, like, the episode is named after unicorns what do you mean, this could be one instance where a character just starts singing, which would be Brittany and another one joins in after being confused with the sudden singing, which would be Kurt

Heavy Metal Lover sung by Kitty Wilde in season 4

-this would be the song Kitty would choose to confess her love for Ryder, which would be actually very funny since this song is so kinky and bdsm-y and Ryder is objectively the most vanilla guy ever, I can totally picture him being all 😃 during the whole song, sadly for Kitty, Ryder doesn’t reciprocate her feelings

Electric Chapel sung by Elliot and Santana

-I actually don’t have idea for an episode or season where this song would fit, the only reason I chose this two is because I think their voices would fit the song, also because this is my favorite song from Gaga ever, and I think they would do it’s justice

The Queen sung by Blaine and Marley in “Diva”

-this song represents gay men and how they can be queens despite not being woman, i think this storyline also fits the one Blaine was pushing on how guys can be divas. Analogously, Marley would be singing to prove that despite her shy demeanor and quiet personality, she can still be a queen for the night

Yoü and I sung by Shelby and Will in “Mash Off”

-I’m not a hater or this mash-up but I am a fan of this song, so no mash-up, Will does sound really good but he sings more of the other You and I so I’d distribute the lines a little more equally between the two, Shelby does a decent job, the song originally talks about a past relationship of Gaga, but I guess lyrics wise it can also be a song of Will wishing the New Directions could be together again, it was never shown but I know he was sad over the girls leaving, they were kind of his daughters, Shelby is just giving support, hate this woman

The Edge of Glory sung by Mercedes, Quinn, Santana and Tina with the Trouble Tones in “Nationals”

-this song was done great, I have no complaints, Santana sing in the start is the best part for me, Quinntina slay their verse and Mercedes does excellent as usual

And that’s it, this was really fun to write, I absolutely love this album, it’s by far my favorite, the next one is ARTPOP, and I’ll admit I didn’t like this album at first, but upon re-listening to it opened my eyes to its perfection, see you next week or so :)

[ultraviolet-cello]

Day 8 of the tristamp analysis marathon and jesus christ i am!!! really excited to do these now because people have been adding onto/being nice abt my stuff and that's super cool. Thank you again to @tristampparty for running this! I didn't manage to join in on the book club last year so it's nice to have a fun little event all the same

[But as for next book club,,,, well. I'm extremely transgender about trimax and would love to join in]

As always, spoilers for trigun stampede and trigun maximum! Also some CWs for Vash-typical passive suicidal tendencies and discussion of his psyche

So! Episode 8! I have.... mixed feelings, on how Tristamp portrays Knives. On one hand, I definitely think that we're being lead to believe that Vash has always been a peace-loving kid and that Knives has always had those tendencies, which would set up for season 2 to break that down. I hope.

The one thing I couldn't figure out, ofc, is the Knives not needing to eat thing - My friend millions-dykes theorized a black hole/white star dynamic a little while ago [as seen in the screenshot. I'm Organ, they are Nagito Malmonella]

aaaaaaaaanyway, we still get these little instances of knives just being a kid, and it's the funniest thing in the world to me. Vash is also apparently in tune with him enough to pick up on that and it's such twin behaviour.

There's also just a lot of cases of Knives smiling or being giggly around Rem, which,,,, he's such a mama's boy like we know this but it's so nice to have it reinforced. This theory of Knives having always been cold/standoffish just doesn't track - the only time he usually seems uncomfortable is when Rem touches him or when he talks about Plant stuff - particularly when he's talking about being different to Vash. Knives, to me at least, is a tad autism-coded :]

OKAY TO THE SCENE[TM]

So obviously this has changed from when we first saw Vash tell the story. Vash's sequence of events runs as follows:

Vash walks up to the little hill that Knives is laughing maniacally on top of -> Knives says "I finally did it! It worked! -> Vash confronts him with "How could you do that?" -> Knives reassures him with "Don't worry, I left the Plant ship" -> Knives says "I even got Rem killed!" -> Knives points out that Vash is his accomplice, but does not elaborate why. "Don't get mad. You're already my accomplice, isn't that right Vash?"

Now the sequence of events in this version is provably more accurate (the same audio is used in the black box recording discovered later), and goes as follows:

Vash wakes up from the escape pod and goes "Nai, where are you?" -> He spends some time following Knives' footsteps where he sees the crashed pods and fire and Knives laughing on the hill -> Knives says "I finally did it! It worked!" -> Vash says "I can't believe you killed Rem!" -> Knives says "Don't get mad. You're already my accomplice, it was you who told me the passcode - Am I right, Vash?"

So there are several inconsistencies in these two versions of events, most notably for me is that Vash is the one to bring up Rem. If the 1st telling was correct, it would imply that Knives wanted to kill Rem, but that part is conspicuously absent, because Vash is the one that brings her up.

Vash's retelling also omits the fact that he was the one to give Knives the passcode, shifting more blame onto Knives. It's very very interesting to me. Finally, Knives mostly has his back to Vash when he dissolves into laughter again. Which is a technique often used to hide if you've been crying or are having a hard time keeping some emotional responses down.

And I'm not even done with this flashback! The scene where Vash just lies down and wants to give up is,,, Well, in Trimax, ever since Tesla, Vash has struggled with suicidal ideation - he's the one that asks for Rem to just kill him, and that's heartbreaking, but we also see a bit of that leaking through here again, where he just wants to lie down and give up. It also gives me hope we're gonna see that Tesla aftermath scene in the next season, because that'll be breaking Vash down into his more complicated, messy parts.

Okay so I do think that the subtitles Aniwave uses are... a little bit Wack, I'm pretty sure that they're unofficial and probably a bit wonky, and I'm only slightly conversational in Japanese so I have 0 idea about this, but hey I think someone should inform Wolfwood, for no particular reas- [I am dragged away by security]

[I did check the dub, which referred to Plants giving birth which I think is much more likely to be accurate. But it'd still be funny for Wolfwood to have to sit through Plant sex ed so neither of them get pregnant]

Rem really was very, very young,,,,,

There are four photos here, but only one is given to Vash. I wonder why,,,, Possibly to gauge his recognition of Knives being in the photo, or keeping the other three to learn what they can about Knives.

The night/day progression cycle here doesn't really match up with Vash's little tally, so I don't think it's counting days. Given that he apparently went to say hello to everyone in cold sleep while on the ship, I think it's a little more likely that the tally marks are for them....

Do we ever actually get to hear Rem say the blank ticket thing in a flashback? I don't recall it, but it is said to Vash after the whole Stabbing Incident in Trimax, so that's possibly why they've kept it from us.

Theeee markings under this Plant's eyes match Elendira's, which. Obviously Elendira in tristamp is part plant there's just so many little details that lend themselves to it,,,

The HAIR COLOUR CHANGE AAAA

I like the little wall of Vash baby pics in the background here, but he still didn't get any of his 3 other ship pics back :(

Finally, Vash's line of "an Independent will make up for what an Independent has done" is interesting because his guilt complex really does spiral, huh. The reason Knives telling him "Oh, you just feel guilty for the Big Fall, huh?" in a later ep fucks him up so much is because like. That is kinda true to an extent. Vash is his own kind of self-deluding, but that only really starts spiraling at about this point in time.

Alright, setting up for a Day of analysis tomorrow, because I have many thoughts and feelings surrounding Knives (I love him very dearly and I hate him a lot (affectionate)) and we Will spend some time talking about Trimax Flavour Knives because my understanding of him is fundamental to my understanding of Tristamp Flavour Knives.

Thank y'all for the fun comments and theory addons!!! I'm having a lot of fun and we're really getting into how [normal] I am about Trigun!

[idylls-of-the-divine-romance]

hi! just wondering, what are your thoughts on the genderfluid jesus stuff that madieval monks liked to write about? like where he was depicted with breasts and such.

Anonie I am so sorry this took me 22 hours T-T. I have no excuse other than poor time management. The answer, though, is that I absolutely love it!

I didn't always love it, growing up fairly conservative as I did (i refer to it as "black liberal" which is essentially just moderate which is essentially just conservative unless it's about black people). That said, once I learned about biblical language about God as a mother, all those inhibitions sort of just left. There's Lady Wisdom in the Solomonic tradition - Proverbs, Song of Songs, Sirach, Wisdom - who I think is quite clearly supposed to be Jesus, who is the Wisdom of God "Firstborn of All Creation" etc etc. And then the most frequenstly quoted passage from the Tanakh is when God described himself in Exodus 34 and the first thing he says is, essentially, "mother". Jesus calls himself a mother; Hosea refers to God as a mother bear; Paul speaks of all of the cosmos as within the womb of God in his most famous sermon ("in whom we all live and move and have our being"). Then Jesus had breasts in the Revelation! (this one might be complicated but idk).

So even when I wasn't all gender diversity-pilled, it became very obvious that the depiction of the Divine in scripture is not male. With the exception of Jesus, but again: Lady Wisdom. She was my obsession at the time and to a certain degree still is. She is why I love the Solomonic tradition. The divine nature clearly transcends any such gender distinctions, and all of that happens way before any LGBTQ+ movements happened. To push against this reveals more about *you*, I think, than anything else.

Once you've gotten to that point in your understanding of how God-talk relates to gender, genderfluid Jesus art and literature becomes much easier to understand and celebrate. Androgynous statues. An ode about a male Son brought forth from a transgender Father by a female Holy Spirit through a masculine Mary. Paintings of Jesus with breasts. People being born from the yonic side wound. Homoerotic mystical writings. Asking God to assault you. The Holy Trinity as Women. Heck we've had the Holy Trinity as a freaking ring before! If God can be represented as an inanimate object but not as a woman who is made in the image of God, then surely we are dealing with some absurdity!

All that said, in my spirituality, I try to keep quote-un-quote "transgressive" language and imagery serving a specific purpose. I've said this before: it is good and necessary for members of a religion to engage with their religion in a esoteric and transgressive ways that are still healthy. It is important to push boundaries, to not get trapped in boxed ways of thinking, and to pursue Truth because that is where God is. However, I am opposed to people who are not members of my faith making disrespectful jokes or art with the sole purpose of dunking on conservatives. I try to keep it theological, doing everything out of love of God and neighbor and not out of hatred or spite for those I disagree with.

So... yeah lol.

About Me

This is my feminism sideblog. I have always been a feminist although there have definitely been times where I had feminist awakenings by discovering just how evil men are. I was raised by conservative Christian parents. My mother was a stay at home mother and loved criticising other women for not doing that, for working instead of taking care of their children. Even as a child I thought she was insane and sexist. I saw that women couldn't live lives the way men could if they had children. At dinner we would all sit in silence while my father monologued about his day at work and whatever else he wanted to talk about.

My first feminist awakening was reading the Bible when I was about 19 and 20. There was so much woman hating in there that I just couldn't take it anymore. Non Christians may know about the Ten Commandments given to Moses, but they are just a small section of many rules. One of the rules was that if a woman is raped and she is not married, she must marry her rapist. (May update this later when I can be bothered to find it.) I saw then that men do not see rape as assault, but theft of another man's property. The Bible is split into two sections. The Old Testament, which is before Jesus, and the New Testament, during and after Jesus. Christians tend to worship the New Testament and pick and choose which bits of the Old Testament they want to follow, which I never understood. For example, they will agree with the bits that condemn homosexuality, but when presented with stuff like "marry your rapist", they will say, yeah, that's bad, but don't worry, you don't have to do that anymore. I didn't understand why they were picking and choosing which rules to follow. As a Christian, I thought shouldn't we follow all the rules? But I didn't agree with the rules, or with Christians picking and choosing their own rules, so I stopped being a Christian.

My second was joining tumblr and seeing the misogyny of the trans rights movement. I'm straight, and I wanted to be a good ally to LGBT people, so at first I just thought it was fine, everyone has the right to respect. But I soon found out just how insane they were. My "peak trans" moment was reading this article in buzzfeed about the author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She was asked in an interview about trans women, and I saw nothing wrong with her response. Reading the article I realised that transgender people don't live in the world of reality. I learned that trans women really believe they are actually women, and to say that they were once men is not only wrong, but hate speech. I didn't understand this at all. Surely that's why they were trans women? Also, annoying sjw (for lack of a better phrase) types on the internet love to bang on about intersectional feminism, demonizing the straight white man, and supporting people with marginalized identities, the more marginalized, the better. Yet here was a black women talking about feminism, and hordes of white men (I refused to see them as women anymore) were telling her to shut up. I saw how fake people who bang on about straight white men really are. She didn't say anything offensive, but they were acting like she'd called for their extinction. It didn't make sense.

After that I started following feminist blogs on tumblr. Most of them were lesbians, and I discovered that not only was the trans movement sexist, but it was also homophobic. I tried reblogging their posts, because hey, people on tumblr hate homophobia, right? They love gay people? Wrong. I couldn't believe how many people blocked and unfollowed me for suggesting that lesbians shouldn't have to be attracted to trans women. Eventually I got tired and deleted tumblr. I have a new fandom blog now, completely free of any feminism. I decided to start a feminism blog to post any thoughts I have. I reblog other people's posts at https://www.tumblr.com/blog/snow-and-shadow-fairy-archive.

I believe that sex is the most important part of feminism. Men want sex from women. They want women to be sexually available at all times. Pornography and prostitution abolition should be the main focus of feminism. Women not having to have sex with men if they don't want to should be the main focus of feminism.

Feminists who love to talk about intersectional feminsim love talking about race but never talk about sexuality. Lesbians face the most discrimination due to not wanting to have sex with men. I always knew how creepy men were about lesbians but finding out about the trans rights movement and hearing the phrase "cotton ceiling" really disgusted me even more. It's really sad that "intersectional" feminists don't talk about the intersection of sexism and homophobia. The right pretend that it is only disadvantaged men who assault women. Meanwhile the left pretends that it is only advantaged men who assault women, and do not care when disadvantaged men do it. It's disgusting to see the left completely ignore the misogyny, homophobia and lesbophobia of the trans movement.

Even though I am attracted to men I have never been in a relationship with one and never will. I am genuinely scared of men. I can't even imagine loving one. I'm happy being single. I was delighted when I found out about the South Korean 4B movement. I think that's exactly what women need everywhere.
