July 2018
maxiel, Daniel genderswap, pining, drunken hook-up alluded to
-
Max wakes up slowly, feeling a girl cling to his side in the hotel bed. He can't remember Daniel and him inviting girls over to their shared room to unwind after Silverstone, but they did drink an inadvisable amount. Daniel had drank some noxiously sweet wine that some fan had gifted him. Idiotic, Max had thought. Max stuck to gin, a drink that normally doesn't leave him feeling this discombobulated. He feels wrecked, sore, and achy. He doesn't even feel ready to open his eyes.
The woman beside him stretches and sighs. "Rough night, eh, Maxy?" she says in a familiar Australian lit.
They both freeze.
Max sits up, slapping around the hotel lamp until he finds the switch. He stares wide-eyed at the woman lying beside him, her mass of dark curls against tan skin. Her wide, familiar eyes with that distinctive nose set between. Her hands are flung over her mouth, but Max can still see the right tattoos in the right places, only against different curves.
He glances down at perky, bare tits and soft, wide hips, and then back up in embarrassed shock.
"Daniel?"
"Yeah."
"You're a girl."
"So I've noticed."
Max gets up, starkly aware of his own nudity. He fumbles in the morning light for clothes, glancing at his reflection in the mirror as he pulls on a pair of sweatpants.
He's still quite himself, but the hickeys are new. He didn't know his face could feel this hot. He mentally feels memories from last night brush against his psyche in frustratingly fleeting snippets. Biting down on soft thighs. Warmth and tightness. Hard nipples in his mouth. God, he thinks, we finally did it and I can't fucking remember shit.
He looks back, seeing Daniel is gone. He panics and hustles to the bathroom where not-Daniel-but-still-Daniel stands and assess his body.
"Wow, kinda thought girl-me would have a bigger rack."
"You're taking this well."
"Well, obviously, we're dreaming."
"Hm."
Daniel twists in his spot, watching his reflection as he gives his ass a smack. Max is immediately hard.
"Daniel."
"Max," he echoes with faux shock. "Relax, this is, like, a seriously vivid dream. A horny one at that. I think we boned last night."
Max can't utter a word. He just watches as Daniel feels up his own body, smaller hands drifting over smooth skin. His nails skate along his thigh's tattoos, upwards to drift along fine hair between his legs. Max squirms and feels anything but asleep.
"So real," Daniel whispers.
"Can you maybe put something on?" Max begs. Daniel cocks an eyebrow and smirks. Max feels unnerved seeing his expressions in a feminine font. Daniel's refreshing confidence always made Max feel... too much. Like if he wasn't careful, he could spill over with it all. Watching Daniel now fondle his chest, pressing the small mounds together as he assessed himself in the mirror, Max felt ready to burst.
And they fucked. He turns and heads out to the hotel room.
Life is cruel and this dream sucks and he wishes he could remember.
"Hey, Max, hey," Daniel soothes, coming up behind him and blessedly covered in a hotel towel. "I seriously think this can't be real. Just like...what's that DiCaprio film?"
"Huh? Inception?"
"Yeah, that one. Just a really, really good...weird dream."
"Okay, then hit me." Max walks up to Daniel. He's not used to being this much taller. He feels dizzy again with need, wanting nothing more than to pin the older Aussie down on the bed. To hike his soft yet strong legs over his shoulders. Maybe it'd be fine if they did it again, since it maybe is an impossible dream and Daniel's not a boy right now. Not that it mattered normally. Max didn't care, he just wanted to feel him all over again.
"What?" Daniel smiles, eyebrows knit in confusion.
"In dreams, that's how you wake up. Like, a kick to jolt you awake, right?"
"Oh, right. Yeah, we should wake up."
Max leans closer and turns his cheek.
"I'm not smacking you, Max. Here," Daniel takes Max's hand in his. All Max wants was to knit their fingers together, to feel the way his palm is finally bigger than Daniel's. "We'll do it to ourselves, okay?"
Daniel places Max's hand against his own cheek. He watches the gorgeous woman in front of him mirrors him, hand raised gently, fingertips against the curls that fall so, so long down to the middle of Daniel's back. He'd look so good with hair like that even as a boy. Max thinks to tell him this and stops himself.
"On three, yeah?"
"Okay."
Daniel counts down, in that singsong voice that's his but not his pitch. Max tries to commit it to memory as he gives himself a just-too-painful slap.
And nothing changes. The only thing that changes is now Daniel panics.
"Holy fucking shit, Max."
"Daniel-"
"This is real."
"We'll fix this," Max tries as Daniel starts tearing apart the hotel room. Max glances at the clock on the nightstand while Daniel goes on a heated search for something. "We don't have to leave for the flight for two hours."
Christ. He pictures telling their team anything. Daniel can still race, of course, Max thinks. He'll just need a new suit that fits better. And some adjustments to the car's seat fit. And a good PR statement that, yes, something impossible happened overnight but no worries we'll be set for Hockenheim so don't worry about how this happened.
"This!" Daniel says, leaping up to Max and putting a small card in his hand. "This is why! Read it. It came with the wine that hot girl gave me."
Max rolls his eyes and reads it. He narrows his gaze. "A change, temporary, good for two? What's that mean?"
"Beats me, but read it again. Temporary." He sighs, letting his head knock back. Max stares at the line of hickeys down Daniel's thinner neck, too faint. "I do kinda miss my dick."
"How does it feel?" Max asks despite himself. "To be a girl?"
"Good, I guess." Does Daniel press his thighs together reflexively, Max wonders. He feels pent up and horny again. "Like, I don't mind it, but it'll be hell to buy a whole new wardrobe," he attempts to joke through shaky laughs.
"Maybe that note meant 'two' like in two times," Max says, voice quiet.
All he can hear for a moment is the whirl of the hotel aircon. He watches Daniel's feminine frame, his big eyes and wet lips.
"Can you remember any of it?" Daniel asks, voice barely registering above the whirl.
"Not much."
"And it kinda doesn't count, right? Because I'm not really me right now, so its okay? And you don't mind?"
It can count, Max wants to beg. It can. It can be okay after, too. It can be okay all the time.
"I don't mind. You're hot as a girl." The last three words feel too final. Daniel's shoulders fall as he nods.
"Yeah, a stunner, huh? So, well, we'll take her for one last ride."
Finally, Daniel walks up and pushes Max onto the hotel bed. Max's mind reels as Daniel lets the towel drop. Two breasts in Max's face as he feels thighs straddle his waist. His hands fly up to trace eager lines up Daniel's spine and rake gentle tracks back down with his nails. They both shudder.
"Last time, right?" Daniel says between kisses down Max's neck. Max feels his eyes water. It doesn't have to be. But he doesn't say anything. He flips Daniel over on the bed, body tenting over the smaller frame. And this time, he focuses. He wants to make Daniel feel good. He wants to come inside. He wants to etch every moment deep in his mind, so he'll remember every gasp, every touch, every sigh.
#maxiel#I love being bi! and yearning!#also an addendum but fiction is a nice way for me to kinda explore my own gender feelings#I won't get into it all here!! I just had a twelve hour office day!! so dead inside haha#but gender is of course far more nuanced than this silly fic dives into#idk its been on my mind as I mill about the office#the blorbo scenarios are overly simplistic thirst fodder#at least my fics here are!!#far from capturing all the complexities of the irl gender identity experience#especially since I feel pretty fluid about my own gender very šµāš« and if I had it my way I'd just wake up tomorrow a cis guy but alas!#but idk I just wanted to note since trans issues are so important to me#and since I'm kinda new here in f1blr I wanted to be sure to say it!!#and for thirsting I am just down horrendous for Max and Daniel and fem!Max and fem!Daniel !!!#in my mind they are smooching hard and getting nasty as any gender and I'm just š©āØ hehe#anyways!!#thank you for all the likes and kind tags y'all š„ŗā¤ļøāØ I appreciate it!!!#my busiest work week of the year is this week and its been a joy to peek in here ā¤ļøš
#but yeah just popping by before sleep to add this since I worry!! as evident hehe#but its fun to explore things in the world of fanfic and I'm building up to opening up more ā¤ļø slowly

having one of those mid-20s moments where you're like well damn. im really not a teenager anymore i dont hate myself anymore actually. like its insane
sorry i gotta ramble but this feels too silly to post anywhere else
#kk.txt#not snz#like for a while even the thought of like admitting i didn't hate myself felt like.. like i was being full of myself#idk what clicked in my brain a few years ago but it felt like i started to see myself more and like understand myself as a person#like i would a friend. and i just didn't think like that before i guess lmao#but like idk i dont talk about my personal life much but ive been recovering from post-pandemic agoraphobia#and i just went on my first big trip alone and im like. god its barely there anymore its just a little shadow in the corner of my mind#that only spreads occasionally now instead of overwhelming me#like im still terrible at a lot a lot a lot of social interaction type stuff but im like.. doing better than i thought id be able to#a few years ago. like idk im not good at.. change and especially conceptualizing myself as someone who can change and be fluid#like i really do think a majority of my person like my core morals and demeanor havent changed that much. and i like that#it makes me feel more secure to be that way#but at the same time its like my mental image isn't nearly as self hating as it used to be#like i used to picture myself as coming off basically the same way as that girl from watamote lmao like#ugly greasy awkward offputting weird#but now im like.. im just some guy... like yeah i have less experience putting effort into my appearance and i slouch and i have acne#but i am also capable of looking good occasionally. i dont need to do it all the time#ok i got off the bus and my train of thought died goodbye

everytime iām faced with wild overt misogyny thatās just platformed like itās nothing i remind myself that people donāt actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. ābut socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we donāt recognize itā sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isnāt disappointing because āoh i canāt believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like thisā itās disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. āitās my biological imperative as a man to dominate youā okay well itās my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment āonlyfans detected opinion rejectedā on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and iām learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so itās a whole thing
#lotte.txt#womanhood is a fun thing to participate in with women who do not hate women. otherwise itās very stifling and starts to not be worth it 4 me#for other girls ā cis and trans btw ā i think relishing in womanhood still feels worth it even when itās very difficult and i admire that#but apart from my fashion sense and bloodlust i feel very detached from womanhood as like this primal animate Essence#but i donāt really want to be a man either. i like being a Weird Girl i like being a Hot Weird Girl#iām more of a Hot Weird Girl than a Hot Weird Boy and iāve discovered that through trial and error#and calling myself nonbinary/fluid accurately describes my experience in a lot of ways. but i also sometimes feel like the label doesnāt..#serve me? if that makes sense#like i got really into kibbe in 2020 and it was like oh shit iām a soft dramatic. how cool that thereās something that describes my body#but after a while i got exhausted with kibbe because yeah. by the logic of the system of course iām a soft dramatic#and i operate with that knowledge in the back of my mind. but also so what. i am aware of the shape of my body now#and now i feel the label has very little left to offer me#like if youāre asking? sure iām a kibbe soft dramatic. but i donāt hold kibbeās system as law or view it as crucially important#that is very much how i feel rn about calling myself nonbinary#like if you want me to think about it? yeah i donāt strictly conform to the gender binary#but i donāt believe gender itself is useful for my growth - i donāt hold the institution of the gender binary sacred - why bother#why draw attention to where i exist within the system when iām tired of defining myself in terms of the system at all. yk#aUghj. anyway

Fellow nurblrs! We had a rousing discussion on my unit the other day about what every nursing domain likes to focus on. Like L&D had their special monitoring equipment, accels, decels and such and onc cares about BSAs. What are you obsessed with on your nursing unit?
#nurblr#nursing#hospital nurse#I am a medicine nurse and I am obsessed with lab values#I hate sticking patients for labs but I will study the FUCK out of the result#gimmie those sodium and potassium values#those ALT/ASTs for liver and Creatinine/BUN for kidneys#I'll analyze the shit out of them and recc fluids or electrolyte repletion#if my patients go more than 2 days without labs I get antsy lol

a big part of the queer online kid to queer online young adult progression for me was losing all interest in labels. not in a distasteful way!! just. losing interest .....
#ive got a big post in the drafts about how ive found it impossible to exist outside of the queer identity structure these days#and the pros and cons of that#and i havent published it because i fear it giving off some anti-labeling-for-anyone-ever aura. which is not the vibe !!!#but talking entirely personally. yeah nowadays i feel weird even calling myself genderqueer!! listing a pronoun preference.#advertising myself as a lesbian at the forefront of my general human identity#because i am those things and people can refer to me in those ways!! absolutely#but ultimately my queerness is a lot more fluid than i gave it credit for as a kid/teen#and i think it defines less of me than i thought it did#or at least its such an intrinsic part of me that i can afford to look at a lot of other aspects of what makes me me#and this is all just my personal very privileged experience!! this isnt universal queerhood 101. but that makes it interesting!!#i dont know im having a very coming of age moment this year and im thinking a lot about identity. this is my diary welcome internet

Maybe it's just the gay little pronoun demon that lives in my head, but I utterly love when yugioh characters seamlessly alternate between singular and plural pronouns. Characters that have a whole friendship speech using "I" and "me", then talk about the current duel using "we" and "ours". Referring to the GY as "our graveyard" or "our cards" It just makes me go feral every single time. Bonus points if there's no rhyme or reason to when they switch between the singular and plural.
#like yes I am an individual I am a collective I am not alone I am a fluid being who becomes more than one when I rely on my friends#I am a collection of all the people who helped me reach this point and refer to us as such#also hehe fun pronouns#I think Yuma and Astral do this the most but all the Vrains kids are slowly adopting it#Probably Yugi and Yami did this but I wasn't listening for it like I am now#yugioh#yu gi oh#ygo

does anyone know whether estrogen and testosterone actually affect how easy it is to cry, or if it's just a mental thing related to transitioning in general? i've been on and off T for years and i still couldn't possibly tell you which it is
#.txt#especially now that im gender fluid instead of a binary tguy#its easier for me to cry lately despite still being on T because i no longer want to force myself to be more masc than i am?#but when im off T i do feel the estrogen my body makes affecting my emotions to some degree at least#so. ?????

I feel so like. Isolated in my specific gender identity lately
#txt#op#so for context. i have been on T since i was 15 (so 7 years now) annnd it was lifesaving for me. genuinely#but these days i want to present more fem. and i identify more as gender fluid rather than just tmasc#its just isolating bc i am literally an afab person trying to pass as fem sometimes and Cant#because i have really thick stubble and body hair and very masculine features like my hands and legs and shoulders#so i feel like. the Trans Population at large sees me as like. an outlier. because where do you put someone like me?#who transitioned so young and tried so desperately to get as far away from femininity as possible#only to grow up and be like damn it kind of sucks a bit that i cant pass as a little more fluid#like. i am in the heart of an issue that is fundamentally about gender liberation AND YET i feel SO isolated from other trans ppl#even nb people. like is anyone out there? i feel so alone in this. i just wish i had someone who relates#this is actually really hard on me. and uncomfortable. and dysphoric. im sad.

#OUghh... I've been really sick the past few days like not able to keep food down and had to go to the hospital#to get iv fluids and etc. to stay hydrated lol...#perhaps some sort of stomach virus or something. but still very grrrr for it to happen in the middle of the evil summer of#course#when everything is hot and uncomfortable anyway.. I really wanted to get a sims video and costume pictures finished this week and keep#up writing like 1000 ish words a day for my game. but.. alas... the universe was like... I Think Not#I at least have been able to have some tea and juice and applesauce and like 4 saltine crackers today so#I always think it's funny when you're ill what sort of little things count as successes#like on any normal day eating a few crackers would just be something you don't even give a second thought#to . But when you're really sick it's like .. WOW.. I ate TWO crackers.. amazing.. huzzah... I should get an award certainly#call the press and alert them. I should be in the newspaper headlines for this harrowing feat. etc. lol#I still feel very shaky and weak though.. but am like... hhhhh... when can I work on my projects again...#Also I literaly never leave the house or have contact with anyone so maybe it's not a virus and was more food poisioning or something#since I'm not sure where I'd get a virus even but... regardless... stinky#just complaining since I suppose that is what personal blogs are for lol. I'm a private person in the sense of wanting to proect my identi#ty and like.. I dont want an alexa in my house listening to me all the time and I dont tag my real location on social media or share photos#that could reveal the front of my house or etc. etc. But in all other senses I really don't beleive in holding stuff in. Because it will#just fester. especially when it has to do with other people (like relationship issues or something) but even when its just stuff that only#has to do with you. If something annoys me then I shall let it be openly known. if I'm bothered it will be clear. etc.#Which I guess makes me seem like a Hater And Complainer but I guess I just feel like its better over all to explain and express openly#than to just silently stew and hold everything in and then probably feel worse for it later or something.#Expressing annoyance is kind of like casting the concept off from yourself and releasing it into the wild so that you're not harboring it#anymore. all grievances must be aired eventually. etc. this is a Pro complaining zone lol#If you feel like shit dont hide it. just go 'man I feel like shit'. etc. etc. Cast it off into the universe. be free#ANYWAY... aughhh......... the wizard has fallen ill in his stinky little tower.. pacing the stone floors in tattered robes. hair disheveled#. carefully sipping a single cup of tea over the course of an hour lest drinking too fast upset his fragile stomachs againe..

one day I'll be able to tell what I feel towards certain characters LMAAAOOO
#ash rambles š#i sometimes talk about how i identify as unlabeled and how that affects me as a person. especially as a punjabi woman. that feeling of being#marginalized different special and ultimately alone in so many ways. but a lot of my unlabeledness comes from a blatant hatred of calling#myself things. defining myself has always felt like a form of oppressing myself. i dont want to live in a box when thats what the world sees#me as. you have to learn how to get people to realize that youre so much more than Nerdy Indian Kid. and that's hard. and so i have this#tendency to merely accept feelings for what they are as opposed to dwelling on them at all#as a result there happens to be a lot of characters in which i go 'yeah i'd hit that.. but i wouldn't date that'. i dont label a lot of l#relationships. i see feelings as something very fluid. i think that we're all free birds at the end of the day#sorry for the ramble. this is all a long way for me to say that i literally dont know what i feel towards a new character LMAAAAOOO#is he a blorbo??? maybe. is he hot??? maybe. do i just have old man related issues??? yeah. am i crushing??? maybe.#do i wanna be his friend??? maybe. then again his source material is so complicated that i cant really put a label on anything since it's#all shifting constantly.#I'm... too embarrassed to say which character I'm thinking about!#but as a hint so maybe you can figure out what universe he's from...#'it's not a lake. it's an ocean.'

1, 3, and 8 for the fun things to be asked
001. what are 3 things youād say shaped you into who you are? rather than just link you to my other answer, i will provide more (non-trauamtic) defining facets of my life: 1) my parents being almost 40 by the time they had me (38 and 39 respectively); 2) not getting my drivers license until i was 23 (follow this experience through the tag #kat learns to drive); and 3) my school in germany only having a mixed gender soccer team when i moved there in 4th grade
003. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of? i feel like this is more difficult to just limit myself to 3. here's 3 random ones off the top of my head: eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, apollo 13, and the cutting edge.
008. any reacquiring dreams? unfortunately i don't, so i WILL be linking to my original answer here :)
ask fun questions!
#ask#alienmythologist#bc i didn't get my license until i was 23#after college when i moved home i was v limited in the part time jobs i was looking at#which is how i ended up submitting so many applications to the university my parents lived within walking distance of#which is how i first got started working in international admissions#which is the career i am still in now 11 years later#so#also the soccer thing:#when i was in the states as a kid i was on the local girls soccer team every fall and spring#and being an active sports kid was v much a part of my identity#but when we moved to germany my school only had a mixed gender soccer team#and the little german boys took soccer WAY MORE SERIOUSLY than i did#and they were all much better players than me#so i was only the second girl on the team and the other one was another german girl who'd known them all for years and spoke fluid german#so i felt super self-conscious and intimidated by my teammates#and also that fall was when my grandmother was dying so my mom was back in the states and my dad was busy most weekends#so i missed a lot of games#and after that one fall season i stopped playing soccer for years and kind of turned away from sports in general#i still played jv basketball and softball but it wasn't the same#and sometimes i wonder who i would have been if i had been so intimidated by that team
