I gotta say I fucking hate fighting against dopple Jane because I can never fucking understand her attacks patterns.

Like I know it's a lot of dodging or otherwise you get blitzed to hell and back but even then no matter how many times I try I always get hit no matter what. It's starting to piss me off honestly

🚨PISSPOST WARNING🚨 anyway I love Finnick and Sligo’s beef so much because theoretically they could be besties like they know exactly why the other one is The Way That They Are but they’re both so far up their own asses they refuse to empathize w each other meanwhile everyone around them is like ‘what exactly did he do to u again?’ then they just get into a drunken scrap about it

not to age myself as an “I was an active tumblr user in 2014-2016” type of person but httyd 2 literally changed my brain chemistry. cannot watch it without getting emotional in every possible direction.

“you’re as beautiful as the day I lost you” and for the dancing and the dreaming set the STANDARD for romance when I was the ripe age of 15. that song was 1 of 3 runner ups for the first dance at my actual wedding 2 months ago, that’s how deeply it’s imprinted on my soul. haven’t been the same since that day in the movie theater.

I just got one of my signature Stabbing Boob Pains™️ and made a noise like a throttled crow

[psilocybinaut]

I'm really totin' the lines between the verge of greatness and the brink of insanity over here.

Testing the pull of gravity, in and out of orbit

Debating whether to call a florist

Or if you even deserve flowers

Just like that

Every bridge connecting me to another crumbles

Truly in the nether tethered to nothing and no one

The void still whispering pleasantries in my ear

Fearful, nothing left to lose, I whither

[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

Okay yeah uhm… I might need to tell a whole bunch of people not to mention something about me on a specific day. I think they’ll do that for me. They like me. I am a beloved member of their family. Ahahaha 😰

So, wow on the AFAB identifying as transfem discourse.

It's ironic how one of the objectors is like "yes I'm transfem but not a woman" is freaking out over a not-woman AFAB person using transfem too. Like...how is saying "I'm not a woman and I'm transfem" in any way saying "transfem means not fully a woman"? Transfem is inclusive of any trans people who self-identify as transfem, whether they're a transwoman who is a binary woman or a transwoman who is fluidly a nonbinary woman and nonbinary man or a transman who transes masculinity by making it more feminine or whatever

Being trans isn't about *what* your AGAB was. It's about whether your AGAB *changed*

The "trans" part's etymology: "word-forming element meaning "across, beyond, through, on the other side of; go beyond," from Latin trans (prep.) "across, over, beyond," perhaps originally present participle of a verb *trare-, meaning "to cross," from PIE *tra-, variant of root *tere- (2) "cross over, pass through, overcome" " from:

So say I'm AFAB. Assigned "girl." And what does girl mean? "A girl/woman can do/be anything" was a popular encouraging slogan in my youth, but it battled against all the misogyny of the time that put "girl" and "woman" in very tidy, small boxes. If I was assigned small-box-girl at birth and later stepped out of that box, across its boundary, might I not be transing my gender just a little? Still, I wasn't identifying as trans when I was a girl. I didn't know the word. [Tldr: i wasn't trans then cuz I didn't identify as trans then. Merely stepping outside of the small defining boxes of gender does not necessarily a trans person make.]

I was later Assigned Tomboy (hello secret 3rd cis gender where they still consider you a girl but like bad at being a girl)--Assigned Tomboy After Birth, shall we say ATAB? Does tomboy have one singular definition that encompasses all tomboys' experiences while excluding every non-tomboys' experiences? Is there a neat and tidy tomboy box that so many tomboys fall out of? I didn't fit in that concept either. [Tldr: my assigned gender changed before I even really started to grapple with what my actual gender identity was. Ain't that fucked? And no, I wasn't trans yet then, either]

I grew up, tried to step into the shoes of Woman, the adult version of my young Girl and Tomboy selves, and found Woman to be null and void. That's not me. And yet to be called Girl still when I am an adult is infuriating. I am not a child. Do not infantilize me. I am not now a girl. I am also not a woman. [Tldr: I was an AFAB person self identifying as not a woman. Still hadn't quite cottoned on to being trans, but it was definitely a part of the journey]

I rejected womanhood, studied gender and sex and bimodal distributions and decided fuck the binary and yeah fuck bimodal too, there's more than 2 ends the genders are spread between. [Tldr: I was officially calling myself trans. Just trans.]

My gender is largely null (agender), but also fluid (it irks me when I try on transfem clothing that my friends who think of me as not-a-woman see as kowtowing to cis feminity when I'm wearing a dress not as a cis woman but as a trans person who is acting unusually transfem--or, it's not unusual, I like pretty dresses, they just don't see it as much so they freak out. Just. I'm wearing the damn dress in a trans way, ok). I'm generally more masc leaning--butchy vibes without actually being butch. But I'm transfem sometimes, or just a little bit all the time, too. How is it transmisogyny to recognize the transness of my expressed femininity?

But I honestly think that's not the point of the objection. The objection is (using quotes here to represent speech, not actual direct quotes) "AFAB person calling themself transfem is transmisogyny because this not-woman is saying transfem [meaning transwoman] means 'not fully a woman.'" But. Transfem=/=transwoman. But the transfem [meaning transwoman] interpretation is like, beneath the conscious level of awareness, because it only applies to transfem *sometimes,* and the objector just...isn't seeing that. And is understandably upset at a perceived injustice. But like. It's pretty clear that there's a logical disconnect. And I think it's the implicit distinct definitions of transfem[feminine in a trans way but not necessarily a woman vs transfem[meaning transwoman] at work.

And I'd talk to the person directly but they've been receiving both well meaning and distinctly unfriendly feedback already and I don't want to add to the dogpile. I think we basically agree, even if the terminology is getting in the way: transfem belongs to trans people identifying as transfem, regardless of their current gender or AGAB. Trans that femininity! Yes!

Me: "Amma split the Impel Down fic up in three parts because, honestly, it's too big to post as one thing of ~12k words. Splitting it up in 3x 4k is much more manageable for everyone, including myself!"

Also me: Just realised 3/4th of the way into finishing the first part for posting that the erstwhille 4k has doubled to near 8k, and we ain't there yet.

I am physically in capable of writing anything under 10k apparently. This is why I can't do writing commisions, ain't no one shelling that amount of money on some floof and smut of their fav pairing.
