neteyam x gn!na’vi!reader

this is my first post i have no idea what i’m doing, apologies

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

he loves touching or holding your hands whenever he has the chance

you struggle to keep up with his walking pace so he often holds his arm out behind him, lightly grasping your hand to make sure you don’t get lost or get too far behind (but when you are able to keep up, he usually keeps his hand on your lower back)

i feel like he’ll unknowingly play with your fingers when you guys are sitting next to each other, especially when he’s a little anxious

most definitely would lightly grab your face to bring your attention back to him when you get distracted mid convo

could fall asleep in 10 seconds whenever you play with his hair. if he’s had a particularly long day, he’ll come and rest his head on your lap without having to say a word, you already know what to do

he gently traces his finger across your markings when he can’t sleep. he traces every distinct pattern and can’t help but admire your peaceful sleeping figure

he loves how sweet you are to tuk. he finds it so endearing whenever he catches you two playing around- he swears tuk laughs the most around you

and tuk LOVES you. his entire family does tbh. lo’ak and kiri love to tease neteyam whenever you guys are affectionate around them

he’s developed a habit of resting his arm on your shoulder every time he walks up next to you

it started out as a joke.. he would always tease you for being noticeably much shorter than him and would call you an arm rest, so he’d rest his arm on your shoulder to piss you off

he did it so often that it became second nature at that point

Announcement

So I decided to delete the post of the Snowfall au because of the mistake I made of the clothing. I apologize again so I’ll fix it and change their outfits. If you reblog it please take it down I don’t want to cause problems with the mistake. Thanks again for understanding and hopefully I won’t have this happen again. 😓

[1fishinacoat]

I apologize if I am interacting with people less as of late! Or if it seems that way. I’m not ignoring anyone on purpose it’s just hard to interact sometimes rn

[selcouthbuzz]

the love i’ve given and continue to give you

has not been lost.

you carry it all.

i just grieve the loss of a piece of myself that was mine.

but it belongs to you.

you’re a better home for all the love i’ve held.

you’ll give it to places that are lacking love.

and that’s all i could hope for.

that my feelings carry

and touch people i will never know.

thank you carrying my love.

you’ll continue to pass me on,

probably in the most profound way, too.

<3

I was never given the proper means to grieve,

Too many needs fell before my own,

And I was left struggling

Reassuring others that I was fine

When I was drowning.

You remember how I complained the other day about how I felt like I was losing my strength? Well, I had a bad fall at work today. I did get hurt and I still worked through my shift. It’s actually kind of hard to move now because the pain has gotten worse.

I’ll live.

[ari-es-girl]

Time for me to take a break.

I’m like a moth flying to a flame.

I know I shouldn’t, I know I might get hurt, but I’m so naive, I’m such a fool, I let people in. Simply care too much about others.

How does it end? It hurts. Makes me miserable. I should have known better, I should have learned my lesson, but no.

So I trust and I end feeling like shit. It’s a never ending cycle.

[leap6]

i feel guilty for everyone and everything

Been alittlewhile but the homo grind never stops ‼️‼️

[excited-rambling]

My cat is slowly but surely becoming the only thing that truly calms me down. I recently had an awful week, and I’ve been getting so much anxiety about being seen as lesser because of that week, yet when I’m with my cat I feel fine. I love him <3

[stuckinapril]

Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than you do other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything

[axsolotle]

I can’t think of a good set up but the punchline is my cat is dead

i’m literally shaking buy them brown contacts pls

TME and TMA as intersexist terms: as written by an intersex transfem

I’ve had a few different people in my inbox asking me why I view these terms the way I do. In particular, why I claim it’s intersexist. So, I thought I’d lay out a few examples, so everyone can understand where I’m coming from.

Imagine an intersex woman. She was assigned female at birth by her doctors, and was able to go about her childhood as a woman with no inclination that anything was amiss. Sure, she didn’t experience certain parts of puberty, but puberty was different for everyone, right?

But, later in life, she learns she has Turner syndrome. This is an intersex condition where a woman has only one X chromosome, rather than the usual two.

Soon after she learns this, she finds that laws are being made to attempt to keep trans women out of women’s spaces (often specifically sports) which use chromosomes as a defining factor of womanhood.

Would this intersex person be considered “transmisogyny affected”? She has been raised as a cisgender woman with no problems regarding being ‘clocked’, but she is also a direct target of transmisogynistic laws. She lies in a gray area.

Now, let’s go to another intersex person. Imagine an intersex man with PAIS. AIS is an intersex condition where babies are born with testes and XY chromosomes, but their body is immune to or can’t respond to androgens (which includes testosterone). Intersex people with partial AIS (PAIS) often develop a vulva and clitoris during puberty.

This intersex person identifies as a man, and he was assigned male at birth. However, his body does not produce testosterone, and he went through a feminizing puberty. To the average eye, he appears to be a woman now because of this.

Would this intersex person be considered “transmisogyny affected?” He was assigned male at birth, and now appears to be a woman, much like many transfems. However, if many saw how he looks now, stating that he is a male, they would probably clock him as transmasc. He was raised as a boy until puberty, and then faced astrozcization from his peers when he began a puberty that feminized him. What he was facing was a form of intersexism where transmisogyny was playing a huge part. Does his childhood matter? Can one become TME over time, when they were TMA as a child? Again, he lies in a gray area, where the answer is not quite so simple.

What about the “opposite”, per se — an intersex woman who had a masculinizing puberty? She has aromatase deficiency, which means that many ‘male’ hormones (which would usually be converted to ‘female’ hormones) would remain unconverted. She identifies as a woman, and was identified as a female at birth and was raised, until puberty, as a female. But now, she would be clocked as a trans woman upon looking at her. What does that make her? Is it different from the previous example? How and why? This intersex person also lies in a gray area. How she should be described with these terms is not clear.

And keep in mind, these are all relatively simple examples. All of the examples I listed self-identify as cisgender. But there are intersex people who are trans in any direction you can imagine.

If that last example identified as a trans woman, because she is now clocked as one, would you be able to say she’s wrong for that? What about if she identified as transmasculine, because of her experience with puberty? What if she’s multigender, bigender or genderfluid, and says she’s both transmasc and transfem because of her complicated experiences? Would that make her a TMA transmasculine person? But I thought that transmascs were all TME? That’s how it’s so often framed, anyway.

The reason why these questions are so difficult to answer is because these terms were not made with intersex people in mind. Very real intersex transfems were pushed to the wayside in favor of centering the perisex view of transgenderism. Intersex people are nothing but an inconvenient little afterthought, annoying perisex people with their demand for “inclusion” and “consideration”. (As per usual.)

You cannot simply make a new gender binary and say, “No, really, this time everyone fits into these two categories! Forcing people to confine themselves to these two rigid labels which are shown as opposites, and as never interacting, will definitely include everyone this time!!” No matter what the contents of the new binary is, it’s not going to work, because sex and gender alike are too complicated for that. There will always be people in the gray area.

This isn’t even getting into the fact that these terms, for all intents and purposes, seem to have been popularized by and associated with the Baeddelism movement around 2017, which was essentially “Radical Feminism 2: We’re Trans Women, So It’s Fine!” This movement is known for chronic villainization of trans men and non-binary people who aren’t transfem. (They act like this with cis people too, but noticeably less so than they do with non-transfem trans people. How curious.) Think along the lines of how regular radfems treat all men (and who they deem to be men) as inherently morally disgusting scum who deserve to be attacked.

Methinks that maybe these terms aren’t the neutral, fact-based descriptors of oppression that many people nowadays tout them to be, considering that.

So, yeah. “Transmisogyny exempt” and “transmisogyny affected” as terms: not even once. Listen to intersex people, stop trying to make sex and gender into binaries, and for the love of God, stop drinking the queer seperationist koolaid!
