Ive not seen it talked about on here yet but laws around hrt for under 18s in the uk has changed

They have banned all hrt for under 18 year olds in the uk, nhs or private services. This was put in place without any vote on the subject, The government has done this because of the Cass report's release

It was put into effect on june 3rd but no news media so far (to my or my friends knowledge) has covered it. I only just found this out by one of my friends, who is currently 17 but is turning 18 a week after they were supposed to get hrt but it has been blocked from him because he is still under 18.

I know i have like no reach on this platform but i think this deserves to atleast be known

I will put a tiktok of finnster talking about it and how it affects their charity work here, because they know more about this than i do and can explain it better than i can (link to original tiktok)

I wont force you to but i beg you to reblog because the fact i hadn't heard about this until now is crazy!

Project Update

Bore da! Coming to you today with a little update

As explained in my September Update, I have been focusing on my mental health these past few months due to various life events I've been dealing with, namely;

In mid-March my long-term relationship came to an end and I had to make an emergency move into a new flat due to no longer being able to afford the rent. I was then in hospital due to ketoacidosis (a buildup of ketones in the body which causes the body to be too acidic, which can be life threatening). In April I lost my job due to whistleblowing health and safety concerns (and also experienced direct disability discrimination. I will be taking my former boss to tribunal over this). In July I briefly had a new job, however, due to poor mental health I could not carry on in the role. And in July I was informed that a family member has been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Despite all these major life changes, I'm still determined to keep on doing what I love (my research) and sharing it with you all. These events have taken their toll, however, and I'm struggling to make ends meet without a job (I have enough in savings for three months of rent, excluding bills and food). I have applied to many jobs in and around Aberystwyth and I hope to hear from one soon.

August was exhausting, after the events of the past few months. But I'm finally feeling well enough to write and create again. I had struggled for months to format my undergraduate dissertation but as of last week I was finally able to finish making edits. I'm happy to announce that I have made it available on a pay-as-you feel basis (you can pay as little as £1!) to help support me in the interim. The link to get a copy is here:

Researchers are welcome to email me at lub57@aber.ac.uk for a free copy.

In addition to this, I'm going to be launching some Welsh-language/Welsh themed LGBTQ+ prints! If you enjoyed my queer Welsh county pride flags, my Welsh Gilbert Baker flag design or my Cardiff pride flag mashups, I will be making these into physical prints (UK, EU and US shipping available) very soon, so do please keep an eye out for that!

Hwyl a diolch yn fawr am darllen,

Luke

She's My Husband (Part 7)❤️

Miles Maitland x yn (AFAB Genderfluid)

When I woke up the next, the bed was cool as the morning- though the sun shown through the now half open window like near noon. Half forgetting the night prior and half remembering, I sat up quickly.

"My goodness darling- someone's ambitious." A light laugh came into the room. I turned to the left to see Miles entering with a bowl of oatmeal and glass of water.

"I'm, wait what time is it? How long have you been up?" I asked, as he calmy came and sat on the chair near my side of the bed. "Oh don't worry love, it's only been an hour and besides- you were so tired." I yawned in reply, before he set the bowl in my hands.

"Oooh, Miles- thank you" I beamed. "Oh please- it's what Mothers do," he cheekily totted his head with a smirk. "Of course," I wryly chuckled as I began to eat, overjoyed to have Miles there with me, "My- do I feel like a lady today!"

When I finished, I realized a scribbling sound coming from Miles' direction. Turning to look at him, I was met by the sight of him focusedly drawing on a large notesheet.

"What is that?" I asked, quickly swinging my legs off the edge of the bed and leaning in to get a look. Though he pulled in slightly and when I confusedly looked up, laughed "You make a great portrait."

My eyes lit up, " A portrait?! Of me?! I wanna see!" "Uh uh uh" he tutted, "Not quite yet my darling." Then he rose from the seat and quickly planted a soft peck on the top of my head.

I gasped. Miles stepped back concerned, "I am sorry, I wasn't thinking- I didn't want to make you uncomfortable." Our faces were deathly pale with surprise on both sides.

I stood, suddenly wrapped my arms around him, and began muttering inaudibly into his shirt.

He slightly pulled me back just enough to worridly ask, "My dear, I'm so sorry- Are, are you alri-" I cut him off, looking up with a teary eyed laugh, "Oh Miles- no one's ever kissed me."

He blushed madly, and bashfully looked all about ourselves, a mix of a laugh and a clearing of his throat sounding from him, "Well, thing is, I, I have never kissed a woman myself. Not that you're a woman all the time, I know you vary- just that I've, I mean..." We both nervously laughed knowingly.

"Well," he cleared his throat as we composed ourselves and slightly pulled away, "I, I would be overjoyed if you would allow me the honor of endeavoring to win your first true kiss, y/n." "Of course I will, Miles." I beamed as did he in return, and we began the day.

"First off- let's get this room cleaned up!" I sang, as we began to fix things and get the fireplace stoked.

....

At about five that afternoon, a knock came at the door. Miles and I exchanged nervous glances, but maintained upbeat. He arranged his slightly wrinkled clothes (as we both had slept in our clothes from the day before), and headed to the door. "Bobbies" he whispered, and I quickly ran to the bedroom. That was codeword slang in the old days for the police.

I heard the door swing open and Miles speaking with a few voices, before he invited them inside. "Um, y/n dear," Miles called in a very civilized tone. I was glad to be wearing such a simple outfit that I just slipped a pale blue, nice, feminine, evening robe over it.

"Yes Miles?" I quickly came into the entrance. There I was met by the sight of two heavy set, older policemen and one mustached, ginger man.

"Gentlemen," I curtsied, as the two cops tipped their caps. "Good'ay miss," one said, " We wanted to inform you that a certain Agatha Runcible, has unfortunately been committed to the Middlewell Hospital, for the mentally unwell." Feeling their eyes scan me for 'normal behavior', I overreacted shock.

"O-ohhh, oh my! How awful, the poor dear. Whatever for?" I gasped. "Oh, she was feeling quite out of sorts," the one nodded. "Yes, a shame really," the other look down ashamed to bear the news to a 'proper civil lady', as myself. "Yes, awful news really," the mustachoed ginger shook his head, slightly smitten by me. Though, I wanted to be sure Miles and I were fully clear, as there still was slight speculation in the air.

"My, and to think we had her to those fine dinners at the hall and never seen the poor dear needed help, darling. Oh, for shame! I- whew" I suddenly acted lightheaded and raised a palm to my brow, tapping Miles' hand in the process. "I beleive I am feeling a bit faint!" My voice sounded weakly.

The ginger raced to me, though Miles was already folding his arms about me. "Oh dear, darling!" He played along, "She gets like this at times. Please make yourselves comfortable." "Ah, y-yes, gentlemen- please don't-" Suddenly my foot slipped and I really did begin to fall down.

Like lightning, the ginger man's arms wrapped about my lower half and lifted me up, bridal style. My brow instinctively raised in the oddity of the situation, though quickly regained my act- playing along. Weakly, I turned to the man and tapped the side of his face with a faux dazed expression, "Thank you so much sir, I-I am such a ditz these da-days." "I'm sorry I wasn't here to catch you all the times before, lovey- woulda loved it," He grinned back with a slight wink, as he started to turn for the tiny parlor- I shot the now agrivated Miles a wide-eyed look.

"Oh I bet you would." Miles muttered to the roof.

HELLO

I am learning welsh!

I would really really like to immerse myself in like music, tv, movies and stuff like that to help my brain understand the language and nuances of conversation!

So if anyone knows any welsh bands, welsh movies, or even welsh books that might be easy for a newbie to understand please let me know!

I appreciate the help and if there are any native speakers willing to lend a helping hand I would much appreciate that as well!

Ok to reblog

@whatlizardry I've taken your advice and gone down such an LDHT+ rabbit hole. But it definitely helps with the Hallowoods translation.

I'm going to outline the key points here and then an even longer rant than this morning's (I apologise for anyone who decides to read my unedited rant) will exist underneath:

Masculine pronouns, unlike feminine pronouns have formal and informal variations in Welsh. There is also a combined form ('ofo'/'efe') that I rarely hear used but I think is good for differentiating your average formal speaker from a misogynistic formal speaker (Hallowoods would especially work well with that added distinction that Welsh provides, I think).

There is an archaic formal form of plural 'they'... I know not what to do with this information, but it's there.

I have gathered some proposed neopronouns, some based on the English 'ze/zir' and some based on varying the existing welsh forms of 'they'. As much as I'd like to work with the Welsh language to create the pronouns, the current proposals stylistic do not match Welsh and the welshified English ones do.

I'd appreciate some nb opinions on this too.

For a start, I've discovered that I've only ever been taught half of the story behind why there are so many masculine pronouns in Welsh. There are the two dialectal sets 'o/of/fo/ofo' and 'e/ef/fe/efe' and the reason I thought was to do with vowels (welsh doesn't like clunky sounding sentences so it's not uncommon for consonants to be inserted between two vowels, that's why we have three 'the' forms 'y' 'yr' and ''r'), and that is the case for 'e' and 'ef' though it's sometimes just preference, but 'fe' has been formal this entire time (I'm starting to question why we were never taught this). This is useful for the Hallowoods translation because I've been purposefully making Nikignik's narration use formal welsh, especially compared to other characters. 'efe' Is a combination of the familiar and formal, which I'm glad to know because I always though 'efe' was odd considering it didn't match the vowel things I was taught.

One thing I'm now having to decide is whether I want Nikignik to use 'fe', 'e(f)' or 'efe' (I think I used the southern not the northern variation just because I'm southern and the whole point of this is to practice Welsh). And while I want Nik to be formal, I doubt they'd ever use the formal without a female formal equivalent (because of course us women don't get respect). So now I'm leaning towards 'efe', but that does sound a little odd.

One thing I've learnt about the use of 'nhw' as they in singular is that many speakers use 'ei' for the possessive (rather than the typical 'eu' which is more associated with the plural) and this is because 'ei' is the same possessive for both 'efe' and 'hi', but they use different mutations for the following noun. Now some people prefer to use 'ei' without a mutation for 'their' singular, and others like to use the nasal mutation (a third mutation not officially used by any possessive) which I initially was all for until I realised how horrible it is to say. 'ei gath' (his cat) 'ei chath' (her cat) and 'ei nghath' (their cat). I'm not sold. However Welsh changing mutation for the possessive actually makes it a lot easier to create neutral possessive. There is also an archaic formal 'they' which is 'hwy'. I'd never even heard of this before, but I think 'formal pronouns' have been going out of style for a while in Welsh. 'Ti' is the informal you while 'chi' is the formal and/or plural you. However it's more closely associated with being plural than being formal.

Now onto Neopronouns. So there is a 'ze/zir' proposal, but I feel a little odd about it. Due to a lack of 'z's' in Welsh it was changed to 'sê/sîr'. problem 'sîr' is already a word, and a common one in place names. Solution: Welsh uses the same word for nominative and accusative, so we don't need 'sîr' anyway (since that would be accusative). So we only need 'sê' anyway. Again this would use the 'ei' with either no mutation or nasal mutation' for possessive. The people who worked on this proposed using 'sî'n' for the shortening of 'sê yn' to tie in the 'sîr' but I personally don't see why we need to tie in the accusative form to a language that doesn't mark the accusative, just stick with the nominative. I see nothing wrong with 'sê'n'. There are other proposed variations of 'nhw' to help differentiate it from the plural as well, such as 'hw' and 'ŵ', but the vowel doesn't sound as good with 'e' and 'hi', which might sound like a minor gripe, but vowel sounds are so integral to the welsh language. this would change saying 'their/zer name' from 'ei enw sê' to 'ei enw ŵ' the 'oo zer' sound flows far better than 'oo oo'. That's just not something that happens in Welsh. You might think, but clearly it does happen being 'their name' would be 'eu enw nhw' which has the same vowels, but it also crucially separates the vowels with a consonant. Ah, so 'ei enw hw' would work? No, because 'h' is a voiceless vowel in Welsh. Technically is in every language, but Welsh actually acknowledges that it functions as a vowel in the language. You would say 'yr haf' (the summer) not 'y haf' in welsh. Some varieties of english also observe this (do you say 'a' hospital or 'an' hospital? (without 'h' dropping, because I always use 'an' when I 'h'-drop)).

I can't be bothered to proof read this. I hope I haven't accidentally written the opposite to what I intended to anywhere... I'd love to hear some nb opinions on this because I can only view this from a linguistic and welsh standpoint.

I went to a Danganronpa V3 meetup today and got some more photos in Kaede!!

Kaede always has a special place in my heart as she's my favourite DR character and despite forgetting to wear chub rub shorts, I survived the day! 😂

Want to go and do more photoshoots in Regent's Park, it's such a pretty place 🩷
