idk man frequently i talk to trans men and mascs who basically tell me that they came out as queer or nonbinary years ago, but were terrified to come out as men or transition in a way that would mean they were perceived as male even though the dysphoria was crushing

specifically bc of rejection from their communities, from other queer people, other trans people, bc men are bad and awful

like. a fella told me earnestly he read this essay about how masculinity isn't inherently toxic from another trans man and im so glad it was positive for him and gave him the courage to transition, but it was horrifying to me that he should be made to feel so disgusted by his own gender that he needed that

esp bc once you're out as queer you're already rejected by mainstream society, so other queers are all you have - the prospect of being ousted and rejected from those spaces bc you become A Man is naturally terrifying

and its literally just rad fem rhetoric of men and masculinity = evil and bad that's infected queer spaces like a festering mould. ppl do it to cis gay and queer men as well, and also just to nonbinary ppl they perceive as cis men bc they don't like their language etc, and to trans men and mascs

ppl are sometimes like. surprised. when i don't apologise for being a man and assert that loving men is natural and beautiful, and reject the appeal of womanhood or women

as if that's not queer enough when like ??? hi???? my attraction to other men IS the queerness?

The way Dennis, at 30 years old, still has to make sure he doesn't share his desires or talk about his dreams around Frank because of what he did to them as kids. He was having fun with Charlie and Mac, making a vision board, dreaming like a kid again, and Frank managed to catch a glimpse, and managed to make him feel like he did as a kid, once again reminding him he's still stuck there.

oh im never fully recovering from watching The Prince huh. like ever ever ever

like i see people say stuff like “rei is a deconstruction of the idea of like the perfect girl in a male gaze-y way” and and i'm ready to agree until they go “it’s because she’s creepy and weird and bad!” like no. rei's a deconstruction of misogynistic ideas of womanhood because they’re ideals forced upon her that damage her, not because she’s in any way “creepy”. like, the fact she’s a fourteen year old girl who was basically used as a substitute wife by her father bc she looked like his own dead wife is not something that is meant to make rei look bad like holy shit.

like both rei and asuka are very obviously like. showing fantasised and misogynistic ideas of an idealised woman don’t work irl yeah. shinji's misogynistic view of them is wrong. but that’s not because rei and asuka are bad people it’s because like. “fourteen year old who's flirty and seductive” and “fourteen year old who's a quiet obedient object” are major signs of abuse and trauma and anyone actually acting in those ways at that age clearly isn’t normal. asuka is desperate for attention in any way she can get it, even unhealthy and dangerous ways. rei is at the very least I has a weird pseudo-incestous enmeshment filled abusive relationship with her father, even if she's not actively being sexually abused. asuka is seeking support, rei is a grooming victim. these are not things that are flaws in their character the entire point of subverting the expectations is to show how those expectations are unhealthy to rei and asuka like. god.

being told a post that someone made was inspired by you is such a different kind of flustering

Out of curiosity I watched the video showing Adam and Ghira and oh my god y'all were right. This man really did just stand there with his arms up while him and other faunus are being SHOT AT 'Pls stop we're harmless :((((' and then has the flat out audacity to get mad at Adam for saving their lives. What were your plans if someone died, Ghira??? This guy sucks and I don't blame Adam for losing all respect for him.

no like what was that moment meant to serve for ghira? because adam was in the right. i know the show loathes to actually let the man have a point but adam was shot at, alongside other vulnerable faunus!, by a human supremacist & when he reacted in turn to defend himself: ghira admonishes him! like! ghira got hurt but adam is in the wrong for taking out the threat? what kinda fuck shit is that.

it's frustrating because before this, adam was fighting non-lethally. after being shot at repeatedly before that & with sienna's permission to do so.

ignore long adam okay there's nothing i can do about him smh.

but his attacks are mostly to knock them out via kicks / slams & his sword remains sheathed up, while getting shot at by supremacists, up until the human supremacist is shooting at ghira who has no aura. it is a last resort & one that i would not object to being the first when he, again, is being shot at with other faunus! considering this entire context with adam having been a former child slave, he is in no way for the wrong in this & i hate that it's ghira & later blake who are admonishing him for this action when they face none of the danger & the latter is a privileged, protected princess amongst her own people.

like is the point here from crwby that in the face of racialized violence, you shouldn't fight back or you're as bad as your aggressor? oh wait.

god i miss sienna.

& as an extra, fuck blake for this little comment she has about it. i know they used this moment to reinforce adam's "emotional abuse" of blake but in context: girl. you are one of the most privileged of your people alongside your father, were protected all your life as an island princess, meanwhile you're saying this to a former child slave.

"this isn't the first time humans have died" maybe they should stop? attacking the faunus? if this was the moment they wanted to show adam as in the wrong, then maybe they should've actually had him be in the wrong instead of showing their full white comfort, centrist ideals on display.

Always thinking about Minimus being in the room when Rodimus says "purring like a turbofox in heat" and nobody else at the conference table knowing he's actually a fox, even those who do know he's not actually Ultra Magnus.

love paying thousands of dollars so I can sit in a lecture hall and over think my identity instead of maths

[violaceum-vitellina-viridis]

okay and in totally random things

i told myself i wasn't going to like, Fandom for percy jackson and realistically i probably still really am not because like. i enjoy the books, they're good, i like talking about them in class (my fiction class fuckin rocks i love these people), but as much as i love YA as a genre, there were a lot of reasons PJO wasn't a series i read when i was the intended audience and as an adult it's just not quiiiite compelling enough? like, i'm doing the creative writing fanfic for the midterm, i'll probably do another creative piece for the final, but. y'know.

however.

however.

i'm currently reading the fifth book and just. spoilers or whatever (look this series has been out since 2010) but when percy bathes in the river styx? his choice of his tether, the spot that ties him to his mortality, his weakness -- i'm. yeah, he has a set of fairly logical reasons for it, but i'm looking at that paired with his fatal flaw and just.

his fatal flaw: loyalty, never knowing when it's time to concede when it comes to his loved ones, going to the ends of the earth or further for them.

his weakness, the single place that can kill him because he's taken on the curse of achilles: the small of his back, directly opposite his navel.

the only way to kill someone who would overturn the world for you is to stab them in the back.

rick turn on your location i just wanna talk.
