thinking abt how in the first LN daisuke's transformed for like, an hour or a few or so?? and he says it's the longest he's ever stayed transformed and freaks out wondering if dark had already completely taken him over or not (dark obviously hadnt) but then in rp its like the situations(tm) where he's gotta stay in dark's form and would freak out over revealing his own instead....
Do you have recommendations for other books where characters get existentially stapled to each other? It is also one of my favorite genders and I am always looking for more to read!
omg thank you SO much for asking! I namedropped a few in the tags of this post but I am always happy to elaborate. incomplete list off the top of my head:
ninefox gambit by yoon ha lee
a memory called empire by arkady martine
《烈火浇愁》 liehuo jiaochou by priest
I'm sure there are more but these are the ones most immediately coming to mind because I love them. it's about the dysphoria and the slippery slope of identity. it's about the horrible intimacy and the patchwork nature of unwilling trust. it's about having someone who sees deeply into the most intimate parts of you and doesn't turn away — can't turn away, in fact. and also!! it's about having a little guy (gender neutral) in your head who makes snarky comments that no one else can hear
existential plot-driven getalong shirt. unlimited buddy cop potential. the promise that you'll never have to be alone again. you see the genre. you understand
people who see a fat person exist and go "you're promoting obesity!!!" are gonna lose their fucking minds when they find out about what all of society has been doing re: being skinny for decades
hi. hello tpp tumblr. let's discuss for a hot second: juno opened this episode by saying he knew he was "spending his last hours and days" helping nureyev out of this mess. this has. Implications. Implications which I Do Not Like.
i had a dream that you posted a very long post about how “gabriel huffers” and people who self shipped with gabriel were ruining the fandom and they needed to be stopped, and i went “oh i gotta kill them now”
@ the gorgeous girl in my apartment building with the trans tattoo on her thigh that i met in the elevator one time last summer and now see everywhere, i need you to know i think about you randomly at night and i yearn to take you on a date. you’re so pretty and you were so nice and sweet and when you complimented me i felt my cheeks get super hot but remember i was moderately cool about it?? i could see the numbers counting down to the end of the elevator ride in my periphery and i didn’t want to waste my time being flustered so we started complimenting each other on everything, and you were blushing too?? anyways i should have asked for your number but i didn’t because all the trans girls i know are cuffed and everyone in my building is too so i didn’t wanna be weird and make you uncomfortable if you were dating someone and only looking to make friends. i think about you some random moments and everytime i go to do my laundry i question if i should dress up a tiny bit better just in case i see you. also uh… why does your laugh sound like music?
someone get this to her like a message in a bottle thrown desperately into the ocean please
I don’t know about you guys, but I absolutely love the idea of Bowser being the most fearsome creature in the entire galaxy to the point where he can very easily scare anyone into giving him what he wants because he is just so scary and terrifying.
And yet, when it comes to Luigi, a shy and cowardly little plumber, it is actually Bowser who is the more nervous one.
For if I'm going down
I guess I'll take you with me
Screaming birds sound an awful lot like singing
And I will tell you now
That I'm not even singing
There's no escape for some
Least of all for me
