SEPHIROTH: AND I TOOK THAT PERSONALLY

[inkskinned]

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

-Slides into DPxDC fandom and slaps down another AU sticky note on everyone's forehead-

Kinda single mom (maybe Queen Regent? if we got Ghost King route) Jazz! to triplets (deaged) Danny, Dan, and Dani! and they all get sent to the DCverse to start new lives.

The three were ditching school, secretly of course mostly to help get money for Jazz and themselves, when they get taken by the Joker because he decides the Wayne bait looking kids would make the most interesting hostages for the game he wanted to play.

Jazz is NOT happy when she senses them in danger. (and it happened during her job hours too so she had to book it out citing a 'family emergency'. She knows she's no doubt going to be fired for leaving the way she did but fine, she hated the job anyways and her boss was a creep.)

Jason falls head over heels when he see's this amazonian tall/powerful woman knock out a good number of Joker's teeth and basically destroys him when he got info of where the Joker was hiding out after the clown kidnapped some kids from his turf.

Speaking of the kids, they are busy cheering their big sister on and hoping she wouldn't be too upset that they ditched school. And...

Was Red Hood a Reverent?! Cool!

Hello from five years later???? WOW (*the sound of the author trying to be impressed instead of depressed/distressed*) (no haha I'm kidding I never underestimate how lucky I am to be alive after COVID, seriously productivity-guilt culture has no place here)

Lovely mutual reminded me that I might want to actually provide this original work and I was like, hm, sensical.

HELLO TO MY BRAINCHILD. Midnight Tour is "urban fantasy" buddy cop drama -- and neither dude is a willing participant in this team up 😂 there are 13 books in this series, swimming in my diehard love of healing, trauma, romance, queerness, and of course mistrust of the establishment lol.

It's been incredibly interesting/the most fucking radicalizing to begin dreaming up a fairly standard police procedural series (I am a child of the early Ots) back in 2010's, dutifully reading all these criminology literature research books on how to be "fair to police" in my portrayal, and then realizing no, no one needs to be Fair to Facists ❤️ especially not in this hellscape.

Strap in for monsters, mayhem, magic and stupid men! So stupid. Many feelings.

I'm gonna write today :)

Hi demyrie. I have been reading your Bandages and Bravado series I really truly adore how you bring together and develop the relationship between Toshinori and Aizawa, they r now officially my favorite characters in the entire BNHA. Anyway years ago when I was a baby transformers fan exploring herself through the adventures and shenanigans of giant alien robots, I found a tfa prowl/lockdown fic where prowl survived Deceptions attacking Earth for the All spark by abandoning his team n joining l

[CONT]

prowl left his team on earth n ran away to be bounty hunters with lockdown and throughout all 70 chapters I was mesmerised and riveted by the development of their relationship as partners and then partners-with-benefits and then lovers and then getting domestic. And there was one of my most favorite OCS until today, a trans neutral bounty hunter named Torque. She is just… amazing?!?! Tough and kind n lonely n I loved her dif connections w prowl n LD.

[END]

Listen. Listen. My friend. You’re gonna make me fucking cry.

First of all, thank you. I’m really awash with every single feeling right now because of these wonderful people coming out of the woodwork to say they remember my transformers fics, and this is a whole new level of Blown Away.

I … because LISTEN. Her name was Torque, and just having you describe her as “tough, kind and lonely” is enough to make my hands shake. I loved her.

She was a trans, sassy, magenta, sharp-optic neutral bounty hunter who changed her model designation a bit far along in life and chummed around with Lockdown enough to know things he didn’t want his mint-condition ninjabot toy to know. She was tough, she was kind, and she was terribly lonely. She liked to gloss over some of their shared ugliness (mismatched parts, scuff-marks and oil stains) and believed that Prowl brought a new life for them both after so long surviving as space junk caught in the orbit of credits, job, deactivation, credits. 

She warmed to see Lockdown’s crusty gears slipping every so often as he found himself caring for and protecting a thing instead of stripping it raw to sell for scrap. She was my vision for living through pain and retaining kindness. She was my model for making the most of transitions and for smiling through tears.

God, I was so sensitive at that age. So sensitive that I burned up with shame when people derided her as a Mary Sue when I was already so nail-bitingly careful with balancing her screentime with the guy bots. I had ONE Torque-centric chapter and folks commented to say they weren’t going to read anymore because I was being stupid and indulgent. And, like, dunno, taking up their time when I’d already written 60+ chapters of JUST Prowl and Lockdown?

It was very clear she wasn’t allowed to have her own relationships with either of them, and the backlash threw me so much, I felt like I was being told that my relationships with these characters meant nothing.

Ahhh. The memory still stings. 

I was so ashamed, and I had no reason to be. Why do people say these things to other living, hoping, healing human beings making a story? The same thing happened when I included a chapter of her in Odd Moments, with her trying to escape a very real and familiar abusive situation – the frustration and fear of leaving a person who wouldn’t be left – and the misogynistic comments just kept coming. I deleted that chapter within a day, and can’t even remember if I deleted the Partners one.

I get that fans can be dicks sometimes, especially if what you’re doing infringes on their “all pairing all the time” show. One thing I can be so, so grateful for is how much more accepted OCs are nowadays, with people even making zines and asktumblrs and such. It’s cool. It feels like a bigger world, in a way.

All this to say, thank you, friend.

This is a super emotional day for me already, since I’ve opened pre-orders for my new original work, and you’re reminding me of how far I’ve come and how I’ve grown to love and value my own priorities in storytelling. You’re an angel, thank you. Just … thanks. It means the world to me that someone would remember her after all this time. I love my gal and I always will.

idk what else to say but shes insane for doing this IMMEDIATELY

I think a lot of discussions would be made better by recognizing that masculinity and femininity aren't inherently preferred, but adherence to cishet standards is, which is slightly different.

This is why a masculine trans man* or a feminine trans woman* often still face stigma - it isn't that they aren't gender conforming to the gender they are. It is that cishetero standards do not want trans people to exist at all, in any capacity.

Boys grow up, change, but still remain dearest and closest to each other.

i killed. i murdered. i'm nothing like these sleepy people here… nevertheless, you can actually be grateful? bastard… i’m saying… thank you. because you spilled blood, you saved all of these people’s lives. i couldn’t have done it without you. (ID in alt)

An anonymous group of Dale's fans asks you, honorable creator, to show him to us in a swap AU.

As i mentioned him in day 14 of DT and day 6 of DHT i think of him as a smaller bussiness owner / and him prototyping Haze`s drones/ Yes, he may talk do Dev more often and didn`t name him DeVeLoPmEnT But Dale still 100% would NOT notice that his son got a fairy (that disgused himself as a tutor, but still Dale wth-)

I also have a thought that he prefer to write, not to type out stuff ...`cause i dont remember Dale writing in any of his scenes, and his Project H didn`t have any note-styled writings /...yea, my thoughts make a lot of sense/

Lilia reading freshly thirteen year old, completely innocent and oblivious William Kaplan’s future and being like:

Okayyyyy lemme just un-know that real quick so it doesn’t haunt me forever🥲

I can’t properly express how much I love her

He's got a lot of catching up to do

[madeofjules]

i know thg isn't *about* romance but the way people act like it's absurd for fans to focus on the romance because it's just a tiny insignificant part is so funny because like. the last line before the epilogue is the mc telling the main love interest that she loves him.
