There are some ships that you just know would be 100% canon if they were an M/F ship, and that's mainly what pisses people off the most in these situations.

It isn't just about the ship; it's also very much about the homophobia (whether the creators know it or not) that is preventing the ship from being canon when they otherwise would be.

I'm only going to say this once and I'm only going to talk about this once because that's not the vibe I'm going for with this blog, but it IS the fucking vibe I can be on if you all really want to piss me the fuck off.

The misogyny in this fandom is getting swept under the rug. The way that you lot treat your fem listeners AND just women in general in this fandom is very fucking telling and I'm watching you mfers. You fuckers are genuinely so fucking ugly and weird.

1. Stop fucking making fem listeners baby like.

2. And I'm going to be as vague as fucking possible: the way y'all go about talking about women in this fandom is crazy asf. You may not mean it in a certain way but the way that y'all phrase it is saying some other fucking things. Unintentional misogyny is still in fact misogyny mother fuckers remember that.

If you THINK I'm talking about you then I probably am, so fix it.

Much as I'm glad for signs of life in the fandom, the HeyKids Archive Wiki lowkey highkey annoys me lol

Like I like the found-family aspect of the "show" as much as the next trauma-riddled neurodivergent queer former weird kid, but the Archive leans into it a bit too much, I think? Like. Where's the unsuitable-for-its-audience nightmare fuel? Where's the writers/actors getting sex jokes and profanity past the censors????? Where's the cosmic horror undertones-you know, the thing that canonically ties Candle Cove to Local 58?! WHY DOES THE SKIN-TAKER GET A REDEMPTION ARC AND ENTER A HEALTHY LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH HORACE?!

Like, I'm sorry, Candle Cove would NOT have been a progressive-for-its-time, wholesome kids' show that actually teaches the audience life skills and age-appropriate morals, that show would have been what would happen if The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack were made with a budget of $20 and a shoe string and Thurop Van Orman was being tormented by horrors beyond human comprehension and I think we as a fandom have forgotten that.

I know I'm swinging a bat at the proverbial hornet's nest by saying this, but I am very much a mid-2010's Candle Cove fanon truther. That shit should be horror-comedy at best and 'I can't believe they let this air' at worst. It should be dark it should have jokes that fly over the child audience's heads and it should be, dare I say it, problematic.

ngl it makes me want to die a little bit that it's so often trans people who feel that sex is mutable but oppression is always-forever based on asab in ways that allow them to demand that information from other trans people. like it feels fucking bad. it feels bad when it's people holding up someone who posts a lot of selfies as transition goals to a degree they have to clarify what they have or haven't done or what "direction" they're going in, it feels worse when people are out there like "caster semenya is not tma" or whatever the fuck. i am, as always, not a trans woman, but here's a sentiment echoed by many of the trans women around me who log the fuck off, quoted directly from one: "people who draw a clear line where they say that semenya or khelif are tme and then call me tma are just calling me male at this point".

like i get it. i really do. we seek community and shared experiences, and we feel betrayed when people have less in common with us than we thought they did. [*more on this later.] but that's not those people's faults and my god in the case i'm seeing play out on twitter rn this poor person did absolutely nothing to intentionally mislead people, just posted pictures of their actual kid self. who looks a lot like i did, because shockingly enough "we can always tell" doesn't fucking work for trans people either!

on the one hand i move in intersex circles which are unapologetically welcoming in cis "dyadic" people with pcos, because it serves nobody to draw a clear line where mutilation or genetics or some ineffable childhood suffering are what make somebody intersex, especially when most of us (esp in places like nz) have never been karyotyped and are being treated for symptoms without a pinned-down cause anyway. the more of us there are the stronger we are, the more pressure we can exert on a medical profession which doesn't like to consider how common outliers are, how uneasy sex is at all. and then on the other hand there's dyadic trans people on the internet who've yelled me out of spaces because a couple of traumatised incarcerated trans women i worked with as a prison abolitionist assumed i was also a trans woman and i didn't immediately tell them my entire csa-involved history of being sexed in varying ways as an infant and child and/or exactly how big my phallus was at birth or where in my junk config my urethra lives so they could decide i was tme or whatever.

returning to the * for a related but not identical thought: i think presuming shared experiences leads to some fucked shit in general! "oh we all had a radfem phase" or "oh we all were channers" no we fucking weren't and it's particularly obnoxious when me & mine are trying to build trans community locally to organise and resist the growing wave of far-right backlash against our existence, and there's just white people in there on a spectrum from "straight up being antisemitic and trying to get the n-word pass" through "handwringing about how they need to make space for people who aren't politically correct" to "handwringing about how brown people are right to be mad at them but doing shit fuckall". and then the other fucking brown people in the space are on some identity politics shit where they're like "trans joy inherently excludes those of us who could get deported" or "big city white queers are killing us by being visible instead of going stealth bc it stirs up the discourse" or whatever the fuck i've heard pulled out this year. there's a bunch of reasons i primarily organise outside of trans spaces and that's one of them. i've never felt more alone in spaces where people claim we're all the same than being left as the brownest moderator or organiser in a space full of people to whom "this is a safe trans space" apparently means they get to abdicate all other responsibilities not to lapse into presumed shared patterns that are fucking racist or otherwise alienating. i've never felt more alone than surrounded by exclusively trans people who sort people into boxes and assume everyone in those boxes has the transition goals they have. like i was on cypro until it disagreed with me to the point of endocrine crisis and now i'm on t and at both those points people were so fucking presumptive or entitled to my reasons or journey or personal relationship w my body

literally just submitted on (and was invited to consult on) the nz law commission's review of the human rights act and like. it's straight up fucked how many nz trans people fully do not comprehend that any "sex assigned at birth" type definitions fundamentally exclude migrants who have no way of proving it and many intersex people who happen to have been reassigned later or many times or never assigned at all as a baby. we can't make law with this shit and that's why we have to have symmetrical protections for all genders/sexes/expressions/presentations, bc naming and defining a protected class here often leaves the people who already are left out from those shared experiences of marginalisation out in the cold when they face violence

i'm alive i just keep forgetting that posting WIPs is fun, easy, and valid

[gideonisms]

this job has so far been extremely uneventful which also freaks me out because I'm like. What's the catch when is it going to start attacking me

Anyone else's live reaction to people enjoying your writing is just:

"Huh??? HUH? YOU ACTUALLY. LIKE IT?? HUH? LIKE- WHATTTTT?"

Oh my god I thought we were past this

Tiny Tim's collar has a code and a phone number on it so if he gets lost, people can call the listed company and inform them they've found a cat with this code, and the company can inform me. A vet or rescue scanning his chip would reveal the same info

Every time I post pics of Tim where you can see any part of his tag, people message me like "Oh nooooo you can see YOUR phone number on his tag you are doxxing yourself you should edit it"

It's a 1-866 NUMBER

IT SAYS HIS CHIP NUMBER AND THE COMPANY WEBSITE RIGHT BELOW IT

If you can read the number you should be able to read the company website! And the chip number! And deduce that it is not my personal information!

I hadn't received such a message in weeks. I thought it was over. I thought I was free. Then today it started again

And I KNOW people are just trying to be nice and look out for me. I KNOW. But it makes me feel like they must think I am stupid!! I KNOW not to post my personal info on the internet! I am cagey about talking about the CITY I live in/near let alone MY PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER

I HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY ON THE INTERNET FOR 20+ YEARS I KNOOOOOOOW

something something queer people will hold you at gunpoint for mentioning Harry Potter or jkr without explicitly denouncing it/her, but will turn around and platform other transphobes without so much as a second glace because those transphobes are providing other queer rep.
