For MTF Reddit Refugees

Unlike Reddit, Tumblr has a majority transmasc trans user base as opposed to Reddit's MTF majority. So PLEASE don't leave negative or hateful messages on transmasc posts, this isn't Reddit so you will be called out. Just block transmasc tags and move on.

As someone who deleted Reddit because of the lack of transmasc content and positivity towards what content we had, do not shit in the hallways of our one house. Yes, I know that not all transfem Redditors do this I'm just talking about the ones that do.

JUST BLOCK TRANSMASC TAGS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE IT

thank you.

Currently thinking about Raphael’s potential to love. Considering how self-obsessed and conceited he is, it seems very clear that he loves himself a lot, or that it at least seems that way, and whilst Haarlep tells you that Raphael only wants to sleep with himself and when you cast Speak With Dead on them that “Raphael loves only Raphael”, I’ve mentioned before that it’s possible that one of the reasons Raphael seems so narcissistic is due to his species and backstory, with Cambions being completely disregarded and thought of as a lesser species in the Hells and often killed when they’re young due to other fiends bullying them, and with him being Mephistopheles’s son he’d have to live up to such great expectations whilst his father keeps him at arm’s length and is untrusting of him (such as “gifting” him Haarlep to keep him under control), he probably feels very unloved and inadequate and he’s trying to fill that emptiness, but I think that if he realises that someone else actually loves him unconditionally then he’d be a lot more open and loving in return because for once he would be able to let someone else love himself instead, and in turn he’d be able to love them back since he’s not focusing on himself.

out of curiosity more than anything is there any specificity in the fish Norway wants you to eat, freshwater fish, seafood fish, is it an industry thing, or is it just a Norwegians are all heading towards rickets thing

the norwegian fish industry is largely sea based, which makes sense considering this country is 90% coast, and salmon is one of our big exports (and also the reason salmon sushi is a thing! salmon on sushi is not traditionally japanese). the fish youre encouraged to eat are fish with healthy fats and omega 3, and i think salmon and cod are like. the two main fish you can get. fish has always been a Big Thing in norway culturally, seeing as it's probably one of the most reliable local food sources in a place that's this much coast this far north. one of the traditional christmas meals in norway is halibut.

my impression that it's always been a Health thing because norwegians are chronically low on vitamin D and other consequences of living this far north haha. we're also encouraged to drink fish oil (tran) or take omega 3 supplements. i'm actually not sure if there's vitamin D in fish? (i know they add vitamin D to low fat milk - norwegians also drink So Much Milk. there's not a lot of milk propaganda though. you don't need to propagandize milk here. edit: there's milk propaganda too)

i also want to say that the most entitled and unpleasant people i've met have been fish industry people. when i worked at the hotel i had so many unpleasant interactions - drunk fisherman on the phone telling me he was super rich and trying to bribe me for sex workers, fisherman telling the receptionists he's serving his country and working a real job unlike us (and then leaving a box of fish in the reception, demanding that we put it in the breakfast fridge even though it would go against health and safety regulations), and of course the dreaded Annual Fishery Convention or whatever it is when all the hotels in town are full of chauvinists getting drunk every night. what the fuck is going on on those boats

Ryoji Hc time!! 💥💥💥

What if Ryoji has a REALLY hard time falling asleep? Like specifically alone. Like any time he tries to sleep, he gets a pit in his stomach when he realizes the fact that theres just. Nobody present with/around him atm.

So during sleepovers with SEES at the dorm maybe, if he’s so unfortunate that he doesn’t go to sleep before everyone else does, if he’s the last one awake. He gets really anxious. He knows that there are people all around him. But they aren’t present, and (for the most part) don’t acknowledge his existence. The remedy for this is that he ends up just cuddling with Makoto/Kotone (or anyone else) if they allow him. Just so he knows that, even if he feels alone in the dark, there is someone right by his side.

my boy-coded behaviour for most my life makes my exploration of gender due to newfound freedom era lean more into feminine things but my anti-capitalist feminist value system makes this feel like a betrayal of my moral code.

I've seen people be like downpour ruined how people see five pebbles and im gonna be honest if you were here for any number of years pre-downpour the fandom was always god-awful with the nuance in his character. thats not a downpour thing thats a fandom thing

Can I ask, since you mentioned agreeing 'even if under duress' - how did the Watchers convince Player Grian to join them in hunger au?

So take this with the specific grain of salt that ive never watched Evo directly (but have friends who have ((thank you wren)), so i know tidbits via osmosis from them), but my thought has always been that the riddles the Watchers gave the Evo Players were all tests used to measure cleverness and intelligence-- the whole point of them attempting to copy the mind of a Player into a Watcher larva in the first place was to try and avoid the insanely high infant mortality rate their typical juveniles go through, bc they dont understand their own limits enough to even know they have them yet. So they needed a Player they knew they could instruct and who would listen to them, and, well. Grian, for all he was rebellious and outright defiant of the Watchers, still solved their puzzles and only had to be punished once before he stopped trying to mess with them

What ive always pictured is after the dragon fight the two main elders of the Watcher colony finally revealed themselves to Grian properly-- i have this crystal clear image of the two of them hovering above and next to the central end island, looming over Grian, and like, these guys are big. HUGE. A good 5x bigger than the ender dragon itself, at LEAST. It would be hard not to feel insanely intimidated by that, honestly, especially when there are two of them side by side, blocking your entire view of the End from that direction.

Anyway picture that with the context of these two giant floating winged worms youve never seen before, who have demonstrated their powerful ability to manipulate code in a way you cant.... telling you that they have chosen you to become one of them. Thats an immense amount of pressure, both from flattery and fear, especially considering theyve punished you before for defying them. I like to think even then, Grian balked a bit, and while i dont have exact dialogue beats here, i know the Watchers continued putting that pressure on him (likely while leveraging his friendships too-- like ive always said, if Grian hadnt been chosen, BigB wouldve been, and i can absolutely see the Watchers offering to take him in Grian's stead) until he finally caved and accepted their "offer" of joining them.

Unfortunately, he didnt find out exactly what that entailed until it was far too late.

'are they gay?' but it's lockstock and barrel

[storytellering]

I have a friend who isnt like... super outspoken anti but defin holds their beliefs. DMC is their FAVORITE game series and it's consistently SO weird to me how they are able to ignore/deny the incestuousness of it all. Quote "It's WEIRD how incest is so common in this fandom, it's GROSS, nobody understands their relationship (talking abt d and v) like i do lmao". Like???? What are you gettiing at? Them saying they "understand" the brother's relationship honestly makes me kind of worried abt what they consider normal...

Yeaahhh, honestly sounds like either good old fashioned delusion or like they're making up a different canon in their head to support their interpretation/beliefs. And while that's not necessarily bad on its own, when you lose sight of what you've made up as your own hc and what's actually there and start attacking others for interacting with the source material as is, well, obviously that's not ok lol. Hope you can distance yourself from them anon, trying to keep "friends" like that is often way more trouble than it's worth.

feeling many things rn. terrified abt a lot of life changes like switching majors and needing a new job and transportation changes and even stupid little stuff like fixing my hair or avoiding the roach thats hiding out under my bed. and then below all that is this simmering pot of butterflies about my partner. i knew our prev date was going to stir up a lot of feelings but im so. !!!!!!! idk if t4t love is just that insane and intense or if im just really really clicking with him but he might have the most beautiful smile ive ever seen. hes literally radiant and i think hes the first person to ever give me butterflies and after last date somethings *changed* and theyre like. still butterflies but different somehow. i dont know what im ready for but i think about him and his smile and i can imagine myself actually truly falling in love even though its just infatuation rn. but in the past imagining that felt more distant and i guess i didnt know what it would look like for me, but now i feel like i have an inkling or a possibility. i cant wait to see him again and hold him in my arms

thinks about men like john shepard and kaidan alenko and gibraltar apex legends. thinks about how yishai is always at first wary and then jumps to being absolutely entranced by them. by men who exude goodness and kindness and non-judgement. the large majority of the men in his life (esp those of authority) were concerned with control and power and with moulding him into a tool and a weapon of mass destruction (and they succeeded).

to be looked at by a man who doesn't see a project, a thing, a means to an end, or something to ultimately destroy. to be looked at as a human being that isn't undeserving of compassion. it drives him insane. he looks at them and is like. i am just a candle with the barest of living flame and i am in the presence of the Sun

(yes i hc'd c.rypt.o when I wrote him as having a huge crush on gibraltar. and why shouldn't I do the same with sheps apex verse... why shouldn't gibraltar's kindness work under sheps tough skin and begin making him feel like maybe he Is capable of feeling things that aren't distrust and bitterness and anger again)

(and yes in other words I'm once again thinking about Yishai in a squadmate context serving under commander john shepard [paragon edition] and becoming thoroughly enamoured)
