#is this sappy?

[l0v3lett3rs4u]

Ee- sorry for buggin tryna get used to tumby and meet new ppl! Hi I'm ivory! Tryna get used to people here haha- My fwb recommended me this app.. any tips please?

Yes, yes of course!! Don't hesitate to pop into my asks, I appreciate questions!!

Blog tips:

Have a welcome/intro post pinned to your blog! Your bio is good for explaining things in small details and giving a small run over, but your intro will go more in depth about yourself, your blog, and anything you might want to cover! (Ex: pronouns, gender, sexuality, fandoms, hobbies, links to your websites/accounts, etc etc!) There are plenty of things you can do with your profile, like using a website for cool symbols (type: kawaii emoticons into a search engine!), adding pretty gifs to your posts, coloring the text, and some blogs make banners to use in your own posts!

This is a 'me' thing, but I like to have the colors of my profile picture, banner, and blog (background and accent) to match, it pulls the aesthetic you're going for together, whether that be chaotic neons or easy in the eyes pastels. (Or anything, really!)

Random posts about your day, rambles, or even just small tidbits about your interests are also fun to look at, and read! I find myself drawn to blogs who share 'what ifs', or head canons about their fandoms. (I'm a sucker for head canons and AU's!)

Find what you're wanting to post. Do you want to post art? Writing? Random thoughts at three in the morning? You most definitely don't have to stick to one thing or medium, experiment a little with what you want to do! Adding tags to your posts will get it more traction than without, don't be nervous to add some fun tags!

Interacting tips:

I tend to leave likes rather than comments, unless I have any questions or just want to point something out! Other than that, I'll reblog things I relate to, and sometimes add my own comments onto them as final thoughts or just agreeing with the original poster!

Mutuals!! While not being a necessity, I find having people to interact with and talk to daily fun! People--i will admit--are scary. But go express yourself, comment, reblog, you might find yourself a group of people you click with! Remember: we are all just people online disregarding the 'stranger danger' rule.

Checking out someone's profile before you follow them is how you should usually go about things, they might have an intro post of their own that states boundaries. There might be certain things they don't want others to do, or don't want certain people to interact.

I think that this is it? Maybe I went a little overboard lmao, if you have any other questions about the tips above, comment on this, send in another ask, or my DMs are open! Welcome to Tumblr!

so many of the transfems i know spent their time pre-transition performing a kind of lifelong exercise in self-deprivation, the goal of which was to find out exactly how little a person needed to live. they starved themselves, dressed carelessly, shunned friends, and hollowed themselves out so as not to be burdens on anyone but themselves.

i see it now, too, in the girls around me. i'll ask if they want care – a home-cooked meal, relaxed company, sex without the expectation of reciprocation – and they say no, no, thank you, i don't need it; what would you like, what do you want, because in their head they're still doing that awful calculus, still training themselves to disappear in the eyes of the people around them.

i don't think i'd have died without transition – not in the conventional sense, at least – but to take that leap, i had to stop thinking of myself as a human experiment in fuel-efficient living and start nurturing the anemic, atrophied flame of desire in my heart. i had to learn to eat well, to exercise, to style myself beautiful, but harder than that, i had to learn to ask the people around me to work on my behalf in order to enrich my life and give me the things i wanted.

and i did it; i learned. and it was agony, but courage is a muscle you can train, and every day i get better at accepting gifts with the hungry gratitude i never learned in my years and years as a sad, scared, lonely boy.

so be patient with the trans girls in your life. better than that: be proactive, attentive, generous; be forceful, if you have to, and learn to distinguish real discomfort from the terrified reflex of self-denial that so many of us once learned to rely on.

and if you are so lucky as to love a trans girl, you must insist upon her. you must insist upon her happiness, her comfort, her pleasure, and her rest, because she may still not yet know how to make those demands for herself. if you can devote any amount of energy to becoming an engine that nurtures the flame of even a single tgirl then there is a place for you in trans heaven, which as far as i'm concerned is the only one worth going to

shoutout to slow growers, late bloomers, people whose plans got derailed by circumstances beyond their control or their own choices, people who never had a plan to begin with, people who have had to start over when theyre too old to feel like theyre supposed to be where they are, people who cant pretend theyre built for the environment theyre in, and everyone who's not living the life they thought they would. im proud of you for making it this far and i hope you keep going until youre happy ♡

toji gets a bit giddy when he hears you call him your husband very casually. whether you're on the phone or you're just making small talk with your neighbor, his ears literally perk up the second you go "my husband". i think he gets a very and a very fuzzy feeling inside him any time you mention him anyway (sometimes he still finds it a little hard to believe that you would talk about him randomly to your friends or that you'd just bring him up during conversations) but the husband thing is just soooooooooo... it just makes him happy, okay?

he cracks a little smile, staring at you with sickeningly sweet eyes while you just keep on talking about him. "my husband that" and "my husband this" – it's like music to his ears. he will kiss you fucking stupid the second you finish the call/end the conversation and finally go home btw . he'll pull you into his arms and give you a tight squeeze, maybe pinch your sides a little just to hear you laugh, and he'll smile against your lips as a thank you.

I like to think combat training for these two became more complicated as they got older, if you know what I mean

I colored the last one first and then lowered my standards. give it up for 10yo ambrosius and his glaringly yellow shirt

Thinking about indulging in masochism as a positive part of play. Like so often I see people talking about a sub getting hit for disobedience or failing to do something or even as just a passive thing that happens and like sure that has its place. But like what about a sub doing a good job so they can earn getting flogged? Warning a brat that you won't bite them for the rest of the night if they keep up the attitude. Offering to beat someone until they're crying as motivation for them to get all their work done? What if the violence was full of love? What if I want your skin to show the world how much I love and care for you?

Robots with extend-o arms that coil you into a tight hug.

Robots with a screen face that display a heart whenever you're around.

Robots who trust you to know where their power-off switch is located.

Robots who triple back-up the memories they forge when they're with you.

Robots who weren't quite built for love, but that didn't stop them from trying.

[almayver]

For me, this will always be what it's all about. A group of people crying over this beautiful thing they made, out of love and sweat and tears. What else could you want?
