#or even just saying 'cis people' and not giving black cis people an exception

[lesser-vissir]

One thing I've noticed about the general circle of bloggers that say it's anti-black to say all Americans benefit from US imperialism is that they seem to be the same group more or less that has intensely transmisogynistic reactions to the idea that tme black people oppress white trans women.

It seems to me like these bloggers have built their politics on the idea that black people cannot hold privilege over non-black people and get really defensive when told otherwise, and view that rhetoric as itself anti-black, hence the reaction when a white trans woman says something about transmisogyny.

To me it looks identical to the way transandrophobia bloggers will react to being told that they hold privilege over trans women. In that, being oppressed (and therefore a victim by default) is such an ingrained part of their identity that they view an attack on that rhetoric as an attack on themself.

[velvetvexations]

And I can absolutely guarantee you no one would give a single flying fuck if a trans woman replaced a trans guy in a meme comic with herself. Because it's no big deal, and it's simply about finding something to be mad at the evil "TMEs" about or whatever. Truly, we must fight transphobia at the front lines! (Other trans people parodying meme comics)

Absolutely not lmao. But then it's fine, because, like, trans men are privlaged, so stealing their memes is like pirating a Disney movie, whereas stealing a transfem meme is practically snatching the food right out of a Victorian orphan's hands.

Are you not excited for the future where art styles are trademarked?

I'm still not entirely sure if I identify as a kinna non-binary or if I just feel myself to be a very butch transfem who likes using certain terms for myself to emphasize the unique nature of my femininity.

But I don't know what else to call it except for exorsexism when I get the five millionth side-eye for "AMAB trans woman," especially since I know people would go off the edge accusing me of being a TERF twenty times more if I said "male" like I actually want to.* Like, dadgum, can people not handle a girl choosing to identify in some way with a term traditionally associated with her body-type because she likes it without assuming she's another Blaire White?

Like this is that soul-gender shit I get riled up about, the word "male" isn't real! The ♂ is not a magic rune that wards against femininity! I can choose to identify with that and still be a woman, and when I enter a women's space while identifying openly as a male woman, that's going to piss TERFs off more than any of them ever could.

*I also identify myself as an AMAB trans woman to support AFAB trans women and other transfem folk, but I think using 'male' would do that just as well too

I DIDN'T KNOW IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH TRANS PEOPLE EITHER

Eyyup. The safest queers always pretend the world outside the community is completely hypothetical so they can get down to the crucial business of praising them for breathing.

The comparisons to acephobia at least gives me hope things will get better, but I hope it's fucking soon.

It's the closest people who're privileged enough to care about meme theft get to dealing with things like that, of course it's basically the same to them, if they stepped outside their gated community for a second they'd have a religious experience like the Great Renunciation of Siddhartha Gautama.

Some day we'll find out what number comes after one.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Why can't haired people make their own memes? Why must they consistently debald the memes of bald people?

It's different when it's transfems because, uh, well, radfems say so.

They really can't help themselves.

Apparently it's hypocritical of me to call that racist, though, because I once told a tankie to bark like a dog without even looking at their* profile. Like, I'm sorry I very generically insulted someone who turned out to be Black, I guess.

Also, I apparently harass Palestinian blogs, which is truly wild and I can only guess must come from me occasionally bringing up hypocrisy when I yell at tankies for being enthusiastically pro-genocide when they feel like it.

*I do not recall the pronouns this loser used

The issue you're noticing is that transfems don't get socially murdered nearly often enough for transradfems to sustain themselves, and they can't influence any real issues, so they have to make up problems to fuel the martrydom that places them above all other trans people.

Oh, that sounds spectacular! Kinna gross, but like, in a spectacular way!

They don't think it's possible for AFAB trans people to detransition, to them it's all just cis women pretending to be trans to rip them off and hurt them.

It's real fucking bad.

I'm very sorry anon, and I completely agree.

You'd be surprised by me not liking most modern art.

I'm really happy you have that, and that we can relate to each other. <3

Are Black people saying the "why this _ mad" meme is exclusive to Black people? Is that discourse that's happening?

[rederiswrites]

I don't see how trump turning America into a christofacsist state is any different than the norm? like it's been like that for native and black people since it's creation like we inspired the nazis in the first place so like what the point? oh trumps gonna kill everyone who isn't a white cis male! and? that's what america's best quality since day one

Okay I'm actually going to respond to this Edgelord Supreme bullshit, because as absurd as it looks written out like this, I actually do think a lot of people are feeling some half-articulated version of this despair and cynicism. Let's kick that in the ass.

First, let's get one thing straight. History has been terrible awful bad always and forever. There have been a thousand genocides and a million wars and a billion brutal, inhuman war crimes. Back in the days of the earliest civilizations, wiping out entire cities when you defeated them was basically just how things were done for many societies. The fact that we have international laws and international bodies of justice, however obviously toothless they remain, is the result of thousands of years of extremely mixed progress.

So at this point, you pretty much have to say either that a) humans are an incurable blight and don't deserve to live, or b) that we've done amazing, beautiful things and experienced billions of moments of happiness and created art and fallen in love despite all this, so we're still worth working on. Personally, I am very strongly in camp b. I see things worth living for a hundred times a day. There's really no comparison.

Second, the USA is not uniquely bad. It is terribly damaging to people both within its borders and all over the world. It is build on genocide and slavery. Many of its foundational institutions are deeply corrupted by these things. And guess what, that's uh....pretty common. No, really. The US is currently a big fucking problem. It's our turn with the big stick, for sure. But even then, we're not alone.

So how the fuck is this encouraging? It isn't. I'm not encouraging you, I'm telling you to fucking GET GOOD, because when you say shit like the above, what I hear is "Oh I SEE, I'm a TERRIBLE PERSON I guess I should just kill myself to make your life easier." I hear someone who would rather give up and call their country morally bankrupt and irredeemable than to PUT IN SOME FUCKING WORK.

Cynicism is so comfortable. It doesn't ask anything of you. "It's always been like this," it says. "Nothing's going to change."

Except things do change, and things have changed, and your entire premise is in fact absolute dogshit. The two presidential candidates are not remotely the same, and we are not, yet, a Christofascist nation. I could, as many before me already have, enumerate the million concrete ways in which your premise is just not true, but honestly I won't bother, because it's not a premise in good faith. What I mean by that is that even a cursory examination of the actual facts would totally trash your expressed beliefs, so you're not really interested in the facts.

Change for the better can happen. Change for the better has happened. It's just not as EASY as you want it to be. There are more steps. For example, you can't have viable independent candidates until you have campaign finance and voting reform. So you have to push for those things. For years, probably decades. Many people have died without seeing the realization of things they fought for, and yet those things have come to pass. You may die fighting the good fight and not see the victory. I may too. Meanwhile, you make the choices that will hopefully get the fewest people killed.

So stop acting like we're all just too shitty to bother about, and put in some fucking work.

About being an artist and an hyperfocused fandom person in public (this ramble has to do with Cedric the sorcerer. I saw a dude with his haircut in public. Weird stalker demeanor I would say from my part but here we are):

Some months ago I was at my grandma's house, in a neighboring town, and we took my little 6 yo cousin to her friend's party. Me and my gramma were just there chilling and eating snacks from the party, talking to some people she knew and everything. When I simply looked around to the people in the party and I saw this guy with Cedric's haircut. I've never seen someone with this haircut irl like ever. It was IDENTICAL except that it was full black instead of having white bangs.

The little curve up that Cedric's bangs do in the exact middle and fall to the sides. The back of the hair was like — the hair on top of the head was longer to give some volume while the hair on the bottom was trimmed to be shorter and stop at the nape of the neck, but not like in a low fade way, in a CEDRIC WAY. The whole hairstyle was exactly the SAME as Cedric's with no flaws except for the color. I would also like to add that in order for your hair to naturally look like this (so that your bangs don't fall flat and fall over your forehead like regular bangs do) you need to purposely style it with hairspray every morning or be born with your bangs naturally like this.

When I tell you I was so shocked my jaw dropped. It was >>>identical<<< to what Cedric's hair would look like in real life, in every possible detail. Because I'm an artist I kept looking at it and studying how to draw Cedric's hair which at the time I had difficulty doing. Ngl helped a lot. But then maybe he started to notice and I stopped because I didn't want to look weird. (look? im naturally weird you don't need to look)

I know the guy in person I just don't know his name or anything. He's a regular cis hetero guy, who dresses regular, has a regular life, works as a waiter, I know this guy from a restaurant I went to because he's one of the waiters.

I tried, when I tell you I really tried, to find an image of something slightly similar on google, but I couldn't find it. I can't even illustrate my thoughts. I've been searching for a pic since that day but never found. I don't even know the name of the haircut

Imagine being a random normal guy and your normal daily haircut just casually looks like Cedric The Sorcerer from Sofia The First (His skin came with a rare item)

being a feminine man and being cis aren’t mutually exclusive…? when you have Black people telling you that they recognize characteristics/mannerisms etc. of Black women in Louis and literally providing historical references, that Louis’ femininity and queerness are clockable to Black people, why are you choosing this hill to die on??? and please don’t say it’s TERF rhetoric to interpret certain traits as fem. i’m not sure what a character would have to do for a fem reading to be unproblematic to you? if it’s wear “feminine” clothes/makeup/hair etc., then isn’t that also transphobic/homophobic? do fem gay men literally have to come out and say they’re not masc? like idk what you want. like no he doesn’t necessarily have gender dysphoria, but how is that an essential component of being a fem cis gay man?

I mean, no one’s telling me anything except that I’m a violent racist for not seeing a subtext that they’re seeing, and alluding to “characteristics/mannerisms” and then proceeding to not give any examples to support their argument. You’re saying it’s a subtext only Black people can see, but the show’s being written predominantly by a straight white man, and being designed by a predominantly white costume and art team, which isn’t to say that they haven’t done their research, or that Jacob isn’t bringing his own understandings, research and nuances to his remarkable performance (although it probably is worth noting that he’s British, not American, which has it’s own language around these sorts of things), but I do think it’s probably worth mentioning in terms of how Louis’s written and performed.

I also feel like I’ve kind of had this conversation (perhaps even with you, anon!) in this post, so I’m not going to repeat myself, but like. I’m not out here saying your reading is wrong, I’m just saying I see it differently. Again, there’s plenty of people who prefer your interpretation, so you have plenty of people to enjoy the show with, and plenty of people making fanworks tailored specifically for your interpretation of the character. It’s fandom! Go and have fun with them! I don’t know why it bothers you so much that my interpretation is different, it doesn’t bother me that yours is. Put Louis in high heels, cast him as Ellen in your Nosferatu fancast, read the many fics that feature him as a high femme bottom. There are so many spaces for you in this fandom to enjoy yourself, I don’t know why you’re choosing to spend your time in this one, with me, on my blog, when you clearly don’t like or agree with me.

A Kiss With a Fist is Better Than None

isn’t that illadro stayne? i hear that they're the knave of hearts from alice in wonderland. i hear they’re thirty-five. they seem to be devoted & efficient, but also devious & gluttonous. their aesthetics include continued kneeling creating scuffs on the right knee of all clothing, food remnants hastily wiped from lips, all black with hints of red.

Name: Illadro Stayne

Other Aliases: Stayne // Knave

Face Claim: Jacob Scipio

Age: Thirty-Five

Height: 6'1

Sexuality: Homosexual

Gender & Pronouns: CIS Male & He/Him

Character: Knave of Hearts

Original Tale: Alice in Wonderland

Alignment: Lawful evil

Position: Versatile

Bio

Respect was not something easily earned when you were a Stayne. Illadro's family line had been servants for the Red Royals of Wonderland for as long as any of them could remember. Seen and not heard were the key requirement of the role, with the exception of saying "Yes, Your Majesty", but sometimes even being seen was too much. Illadro wasn't sure if he was the first Stayne to strive for more than simple servitude to whichever King reigned, but he craved respect from anyone that would give it.

Some would say he became angry at the system he was apart of, a teenaged rebellious streak developing swiftly. He'd sneak out from the chambers at night just for an excuse to get away, caught only once by a young Red Guard that eventually became something of a friend to Illadro. The Guard took Illadro under his wing, dressing him in Guard uniform to easier wander the castle, showing him the full layout of the castle, the areas servants were not permitted, including the secret rooms and passages, teaching him to fight and idly talking about the way the Guards worked. Illadro took it all in, learned every detail he could, and it served as a way for him to channel his frustrations. Over the years the two formed an incredibly strong bond, and Illadro could handle his own easily in a fight, something none of the other servants could.

Heading back to his chambers one day, Illadro passed the kitchens, a sweet smell catching his attention and drawing him in towards a plate of tarts made specifically at the King's request. He knew he shouldn't but he took one, knowing he'd likely never have the opportunity again, but overcome by the greatest tasting food he'd ever had. One simply wasn't enough, and the entire tray was soon empty. Of course, when the Red King found out, he was not pleased, and an investigation was launched, a crime so small and simple given the utmost importance. The beheadings were rampant, regardless of peoples guilt or innocence, and no one was safe: not servants nor guards nor court members. Even randomly selected subjects were thrown to the executioner, and the King vowed to continue until someone came forward.

Someone did, but not to confess, instead to throw Illadro to the lions.

He was dragged from the chambers to the King's throne room, but not without stealing a Guard's sword and putting up a fight. Sheer numbers stopped him from getting away but, pleased with the violent display, the Red King gave Illadro the chance to speak and defend himself. Knowing that, whether he pleaded guilty or innocent, he would inevitably lose his head, Illadro tried a different approach. He spun a tale, of how he'd stolen the tarts specifically to show the weak points in the King's system, how even the most trusted of his men couldn't actually be trusted, and how he could point out the exact person that made it all happen. And with that, it was his Guard's turn to be thrown to the lions.

For showing such loyalty and initiative to the Red King, Illadro was given a pardon from execution, but was still to face punishment, thrown into the dungeon with his fingers broken, sentenced to be released only once his hands healed. When they eventually did, Illadro was given a new role, becoming the King's Knave: a title befitting Illadro's beginnings but also highlighting his thieving nature. He'd take it willingly, happy that he was finally receiving respect, even if he'd had to steal and lit to get there. For now, the King gave him one job: break the weak links.

Illadro ruled the halls with absolute precision, all the secret areas he had learned about now destroyed or blocked off. Servants he had previously worked with now feared him, knowing one wrong move would put them on the chopping block. Where things could get lax, Illadro made sure they weren't. The King, pleased with his Knave, increased his duties, and allowed him out into Wonderland, tasking him with some of the more unsavoury challenges that required a more specific touch than simply sending in an army. Illandro did all of it with a nod of his head and a simple "Yes, Your Majesty."

Whatever the King asks, the Knave of Hearts fulfils it.

---

This version of the Knave takes inspiration from a few of the various version seen in other media. His stealing of the tarts follows his role in the original tale, but his role as the King's right hand follows more in line with the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movie.

[honest-moth-of-silver-grove]

Hiii just found your blog and all your mothman reblogs are so REALLL i love him sm 😭😭😭 anyw I'd like to request a match up if you don't mind (it says in your pinned post that your ask box will be closed in the coming days so idk if that means it's closed now or not and if so dw abt it!) It's my first time asking for a match up so bare w me 😭

I'm a cis female with short shoulder length black hair that's either usually dyed or cut in some odd way (think layers/wolfcut/sometimes bangs sometimes not basically I like experimenting with hair) whose VERY short. (Think under 160cm). Physical traits wise I'm very skinny (not in a model way and more of a no matter how much I eat I burn it off TOO quickly it can get dangerous for my health) which means I'm also not physically very female iykwim. (As in I'm not blessed in the chest or ass category in life 😭)

I also have several scars on my thighs and hands due to a dog attack BUT I'm still so in love with animals and particularly have a VERY soft spot for the animals thought to be basic/unimportant. (Rodents and a lot of birds). I'm also very artistic and dabble in almost every form of art including performative, visual, written, and digital!

My biggest flaw would probably be my stubborness which gets in the way of a lot of things at times. I'm also slightly insecure about my looks and my height especially and that may cause jealousy/slight mistrusts unless dealth w a lot of communicatio. I can put people above me at times even when it isn't right because I'm loyal to them to a fault. But I'm very petty as well esp aft my trust is broken repeatedly.

Despite that I still think I'm pretty outgoing/adventurous when it comes to meeting new people altho I do get a lot of anxiety over it hahahahsdhhdjs.

The love language I love to give is physical touch, words of affirmations, and gifts. Whilst the ones I love to receive are words of affirmations and quality time. My mbti is Intp and I'm a Taurus! Also, I wouldn't mind any matchups from any media you write for except Castlevania cause I haven't gotten around to watching it just yet! (Altho I do have a preference for bg3 cause that's the media I know most well!)

I'm not sure if I said too much/too little but yeah! Again if your asks are closed dw abt it. I hope you have an amazing day/night. ✨️✨️✨️🤩🤩🤩

A/N: I hail Mothman, you hail Mothman, We ALL hail the Mothman!!! I just think he’s neat. Anyway, getting back on task because you didn't specify a gender preference, I picked one of each for you. For you, my Skinny Taurus Anon, I’m thinking your best Baldur’s Gate 3 matchups would be… Halsin (Male) and Karlach (Female)! 

Halsin would be a great match for you! He’s very kind and soft-spoken and shares your love of animals and nature. He’s especially touched that you’ve managed to maintain such love for animals after being attacked in your childhood. He finds your reverence for less cherished animals very honorable indeed. 

Halsin admires the ways that you express yourself by experimenting with your hair. In his case, he’s had the same look for a few hundred years or so, but that’s not to say he wouldn’t enjoy maybe changing up the way he styles his hair if you were willing to help him do it. Halsin loves all bodies and all body types, so there’s no need to feel insecure about being thin, or not having curves. Halsin does get concerned, however, when he feels you don’t eat enough nutritious food throughout the day. Silvanus knows he has a sweet tooth, but man nor elf cannot exist on honey and fruit alone. He wants to ensure you're getting a good amount of protein and greens in your diet, and he’s very capable of hunting dinner for you if you’d like. 

Halsin enjoys making art himself, preferring to whittle, seated next to you as you write or create your amazing digital creations. (A technology he does not understand but is very supportive of all the same.)

Being an open-hearted polyamorous druid, you’d have to have strong communication skills for a serious long-term relationship with Halsin. The two of you will need to work out a language or routine of your own to check in with one another and make sure that no serious insecurities or jealousies take hold. Speaking respectfully from the heart will be paramount here. 

Halsin’s first love language is most definitely physical touch, with acts of service coming second. He loves the feel of you- from something as simple as your hand in his to the more sensual, romantic skin-to-skin moments you share- he always wants to have a part of you against him. He loves how you show your affection through touch, and he is always eager to receive it. He’s a very generous lover, so if you ask that he give you frequent words of affirmation, he will eagerly rise to the challenge. Although, if we’re being honest, Halsin’s already quite the verbal lover, never wasting an opportunity to call you ‘my heart’. 

As an INTP, your more logical side balances out his more emotional ENFJ one. 

The two of you bring wholeness and balance to each other’s lives. 

Karlach would also be a great fit for you! She’s fun-loving, energetic, and full of zest for life, and all of that extends to her relationship with you!

She thinks the height difference between you two is absolutely adorable, and she WILL give you all the forehead kisses because of it. Karlach also loves how you experiment with your hair color. She herself has red streaks in her hair. (Not sure if that’s natural for her or if she’s dyed it, but either way, fun hair colors are something she likes.) 

She doesn’t mind that you’re skinny either, it just gives her all the more incentive to protect you. She does worry sometimes, that your thinness makes you more prone to injury or illness, but she does her best to keep those concerns to herself. She wouldn’t want to trouble you with them, besides, so long as she’s there, no one can touch you- not with your big tiefling barbarian girlfriend there to protect you. And don’t worry about the no boobs or butt thing. Karlach’s own chest is more scar tissue than anything at this point, so she doesn’t look at bodies that way. She thinks your form is fucking gorgeous because your soul is fuckoing gorgeous to her. 

And it’s a good thing you like animals, because Karlach loves them as well. She thinks the owlbear cub is just the cutest little guy she’s ever seen, and she’s glad despite your past experience, you’re not afraid of him or any animal other people might be too afraid or freaked out by to love. Also I know this is totally random, but I could totally see Karlach being a great bird mom to a macaw or a parrot. And yes, she would teach them swear words. 

Kalarch is loyal to a fault. In the past her loyalty cost her a great deal, but she still believes in having trust in the ones you love. It may take her a little bit longer to get there, but once she trusts you, she’s very much ride or die, and she expects you to be the same. 

Karlach is obsessed with anything and everything you create. She loves it all so much. She’s constantly going round showing your art to everyone in camp, bragging about how cool and creative her partner is. She’s not super artistic, and she can’t sing to save her life, but god, she loves people who are good at the arts so much. She’s amazed at their talent and you are no exception. 

As an INTP, you’ll want to be a little more sensitive around Karlach’s ESFP, especially when it comes to her expressing her emotions. She’s a strong girl, that’s for sure, she’s survived ten years in the hells! But life has not been kind to her. The people she once trusted, betrayed her, and she needs to feel secure in her romantic relationship as a result- she can’t get the sense that you’re being insincere or just biding your time as she shares how she feels. 

I hope you enjoyed it!

More black runners are being disqualified from competition because of their naturally high testosterone levels.

There are articles elsewhere about how sports rulings facilitate racism (even quoting the Court of Arbitration for Sport saying "discrimination is necessary") and how natural testosterone levels don't even determine one's athletic performance. There are even articles about applying the faulty logic required to disqualify these black sprinters to other athletes to other sports: if we think a "genetic advantage" is worth disqualifying these sprinters over, why not disqualify Michael Phelps from swimming because of his genetic advantages?

I think that last example really illustrates the absurdity of the argument, but I want to take it further. What if we refused to acknowledge other exceptional people because of their genetic advantages? Let's extend that line of thinking:

Robert Pershing Wadlow, with a height of 8 ft 11 in, should be disqualified from having the title of tallest person ever. His height was due to a genetic advantage: an excess of a growth hormone. The so-called "shortest person ever" also had a genetic advantage (dwarfism), so his claim's illegitimate too.

Duke Ellington, Billy Joel, Charli XCX and others should be disqualified from the awards and recognitions they've earned: their synesthesia is just an unfair advantage.

Edgar Allen Poe, Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf and others were cheats. Their various mental illnesses influenced their writing; it's not fair to consider them to be on a level playing field with their contemporaries.

These examples are just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe we should disqualify albinos from fashion and acting awards; after all, their appeal is boosted by a genetic factor other people don't have access to. Can Tenzing Norgay really be fairly considered as one of the first people to ascend Mount Everest, since Sherpas are known to have a genetic proclivity for surviving high-altitude environments? Let's disqualify all women from ballet awards, since that profession is largely designed for them, giving them an advantage over men. What if we disqualified Martin Luther King Jr from eligibility for the Nobel Peace Prize, since his blackness uniquely positioned him to fight for civil rights? You know what, just to be safe, we should disqualify anyone with a genetic condition that affects their chosen profession in any way.

What we're left with is only the "standard" people: able-bodied cis white men.

You can see how this line of thinking very quickly becomes racist, transphobic, sexist, ableist, and all other sorts of horrendous.

Let's celebrate people for their exceptional attributes instead of punishing them in the name of a level playing field.

That's just the problem. If you think about it, if you stop and think about how being 'queer' is treated, discussed, spoken about, as a political entity and social movement rather than simply a characteristic like blood type or hair color, then it suddenly makes perfect sense. It is the ideology itself that is producing this effect. It was always intended to produce this effect, that's why it's a social rallying call to engage in the public arena on these values.

To the activist, "queer" doesn't represent something that will eventually just be normal. Because, normal to them is queer people being identified as the political concept of Oppressed. By whom? Society and the majority. Okay, how?... The recursive absolutist belief that, unless you are in a socialist society that is both government and culture, then oppression stems from that. They will accept no substitutes and no alternatives. To them, society must be living by the rest of the logic used to platform and fascillitate the language used as a hydrofoil for LGBT rights, and that means applying the rest of it to the universe, without exception.

And so, there is no "normalization" the way there is in regular liberalism minus the Marxist views of demographic as class as political entity. There is no resolution. There is no alleviation from oppression. There are only these arbitrary absolutist relationships between groups they've deemed "oppressed" and "oppressor" as a form of convenience in very black and white thinking, and what that means.

This is how and why that particular flavor of gay rights, that particular flavor of "anti-racism," tthat particular flavor of what dares call itself, "sexual equality," is bunk and bullshit. It doesn't live in reality, it lives in a platonic ideal model and then chides the universe for not fitting that mold and molecular outline exactly.

In that ideology, to be trans is to truly and without exception become the gender that which you aspire to be. They insist, without exception, that there is no hyphen, there is no honorary, there is no distinguishing or distinctive difference and so language beyond the occasionally convenient, "he's cis" or "he's trans" is strictly verboten. You are not even allowed to distinguish it for practical reasons separate from ideological ones, because to them, ideology is literally everything- IT inerprets the world and how it works, and aught to work, and woe be to anyone that dares say we should form our linguistic culture off of things detatched from the manufactured pretext that social movement gives it. And so, if this is true, then to be a transman makes you just as much of an oppressive, horrifying monster as a cisgendered man to those that believe this view.

So as a transman, if you're lucky enough to pass and the knee-jerk reaction to you be rejection of you as a human being, but be perceived as the, "violent, monstrous, exploitative and cruel" overlord oppressor class, well, congratulations. You don't need to do anything- you don't need to have negative intentions- you don't need to personally be guilty of anything to be the ideological opponent of all "right and correct thinking people."

Any word you say that is, "out of class?" Best watch your back, or else Right Correct Thinking People, ie, the Anticapitalist, Progressive People, will be sure to check you for not having the credentials to speak vs. "the oppressed." Only, they'll probably call them minorities, as then you have to argue you, as a man, should get to disagree with the holy oppressed group and have your opinion, as a filthy oppressor man be worth anything.

Unless you do the modern equivalent of that thing we did in the 80s when we were loudly told our opinions on any racial or ethnic affair were invalid because we were not a member of that group, even if what they did on the basis of race-as-group affected the rest of society: The queer version of the, "I'm actually 1/32 Cherokee." thing. Wave your credentials as a member of the "Queer," and thus, safe demographic that's allowed to have credibility in your opinion and welcoming to the movement, just so people know, you're safe, you're actually one of the rarer and more oppressed colors of the rainbow, you can speak and nobody that's cis or het has any right to even question you, and they aren't allowed to be belligerent or contradict you without becoming subject to those in-ideology rules that say they're now oppressing a transman's lived experience. Suddenly make that trans-man prefix matter, so you aren't treated like a bigoted, monstrous fratboy or bloviating old money Southern Evangelical Doug Dimmadome son and causer of the anti-woman society that somehow is responsible for teaching horrible men to commit sexual assault on the oppressed women and thus lower the bar of expected gender relations too deep for you as an individual to ever lift to normalcy again. Wear that rainbow and identifying trans flag the way cheetah cubs wear honey badger fur colors to confuse predators. Or else, you'll finally pass as what they consider in their political ideology to be A Man, and get mistaken for how they see all men. How they treat all men. How they speak to all men.

Does it feel cold to be among that hideous political school of thought that dares to call itself what "progressive" means, now? Like they're blaming you for things you never had anything to do with, based on what they consider inherently to be a choice and not a fixed and natural state? Like you're being treated like a member of a mafia, regardless of your level of participation in "cisheteronormativity" (just, not being queer and not making queerness a factor) or like a male chauvinist just by being a man, no matter how far removed from misogyny your actions, views and countenance are?

Welcome to the club, kid. This is how things really are.

Get ready to never have your opinion or thoughts, much less your heart and soul, ever matter to these "Progressives" again, unless you emphasize how queer you are to make it matter. Get ready for ther ideology to misinterpret your every action and thought and feeling and have them argue with you that you can't be right, because Men In This Society Do Things For These Following Reasons.

tried to vent in a trans space about how, as a trans man who’s been on T for a long time (over 7 years now), i have noticed that the more i pass as a man, the less welcomed i am in queer spaces unless i go out of my way to feminize myself. and how that sucks! and it’s isolating!!! and it feels horrible to see ppl who used to like you and be close to you drift further and further the more masculine (& therefore more comfortable in urself) u become…

only to get ppl replying to me and saying “well if you dressed more fem then ppl wouldn’t be intimidated by you. you signed up for this”

i’m sorry but i didnt sign up for social isolation when i transitioned, i signed up for gender euphoria and comfort in myself and my life. and i had hoped that the ppl in my life would be able to see how much joy that brings me and continue to love me.

[goobie-goo]

im gonna send the character cast rq uhhmm ye

resistance

dallas (you know this guy!!! this dude!!!)

Alibi - The Jester/“Zinnia”. all pronouns. literally,, when i was thinking of the identities to give xym, i just wrote down “whoops! all gender” and i think that says a lot about rot. trans, nonbinary, pangender, pansexual, asexual, panromantic. AuDHD (autism + ADHD).

heavily implied to be in a relationship with dallas during walls arc and up to their death in the wilds arc. its all i think about. however idk how to define it. idk if theyd be in a queer-platonic relationship (which is the only one i’d give bc im projecting onto dallas and dallas is the same flavor of aroace i am). i also feel like they wouldnt use a label. theyd just be like “we are best friends. we would live for each other. we would die for each other.” maybe some kind of alterous attraction but i wouldnt know— im quoiromantic/nebularomantic (aromantic microlabels). so since i cant think of it, its just gonna be like unlabeled but Its There and its FUCKING OBVIOUS LMAO (it gets worse when i imagine the scene of: alibi bleeding out in dallas’ arms as they scream for a medic among the screaming crowd, trying not to get trappled by people scrambling for safety from the royal forces. dallas is applying pressure to the wound like skip told them. why isn’t it working? why is it not working—?!) (dallas just turned 16 two months ago. alibi was only 3 months older.)

they wouldnt actually have their title of The Jester unless i tweak some things bc those titles are from the rebellion arc, which alibi had already died and wouldnt be there for. the flower titles do have meanings though. theyre from my floriography book, i can pull it out and share if you like?

it’s legal name is charlemane, but they actually don’t mind it. dallas would call them charlie in serious moments.

Asmodae - The Shield/“Cypress”. legal name: raelynn marie hellings. she/her. cis, lesbian. autism.

largely inspired by astrid from HTTYD! the badass-ness!! the take no shit!! the snark!!! while still being kind!! aaHHABAHHS! now that i think about it, also a lil bit of natasha vibes.

they are always down to fight and WILL fuck you up. they are the protector. they are the one to confront the bully and be like “what did you say about my sibling?!”

Juno - The Dahlia. legal name: june absidee goldborne. they/she/fae. genderfae. idk their romantic + sexual orientation actually— i didnt think about it. autistic *vine boom* adhd *vine boom* anxiety *3 fast vine booms*. hispanic— one parent is something similar to mexican except mexico doesnt exist in this fictional world. i dont have a world map made. the walled-in city doesnt even have a name 😭 has either/both POTS or EDS (cant decide). uses forearm crutches and sometimes a wheelchair!

hella good sniper. the long range fighter of the group. fae is very sweet and hyper-empathetic. instead of being shy, they’re just awkward (relatable)

she’s also known as The Black Dahlia. can unassemble and reassemble a gun in *really fast time idk i dont touch guns*. mercenaries wish they were as good as them when it came to guns.

Skip - “Clematis”. legal name: silas (no last name made). he/him. cis, bisexual. autistic.

THE OLDER BROTHER YOU WISH YOU HAD. THAT I WISH I HAD. AUGH. (RIP skip actually imagine getting tortured— huh what? did i say something? :3)

he jokes around a lot, hes snarky, hes sassy, hes sarcastic, hes caring, hes protective, hes— *chokes on air*

hes the one that gave dallas the name/title striker. hes the adult that believed in dallas (older by like,, 7 or so years i think)

The Family/The Eyes

dallas!!! wooah!!

Aji (ahgee - ă-jē) - The Apogee. any pronouns. literally agender. panromantic asexual. AuDHD.

it normally takes the form of a human teenager or child. xey are older than one could imagine, as they were created when the first world came to fruition.

many actually have a betting pool on how old she is. none of them are winning.

he is very parental tbh -> “no. no, aji. we can’t take in another kid.” “BUT LOOOOKKKKK! THEY WERE ABANDONED AS A SACRIFICE TO THEIR MORTAL GODS— CMONNNNN PLEASEEEE *puppy dog eyes*” “ugh fineeeee”

seraphina! nicknamed sheriff by dallas (seraph said weird). she/they. panromantic lesbians.

as i mentioned, their backstory is dallas’ OG one— er,, a few details of it.

backstory ->

she was like. an amalgamation tbh. mostly human but has enough elf genes to perform minor spells. but then was kidnapped and was experimented on and grew wings when she was still alive. (they stuck into her death and then her ascension where she grew a total of 6 wings. thats the common wing amount for those in The Syzygy.)

there was a trafficking ring for people who were experimented on. she was one of the only older kids in the ring (that survived) so they were babysitting and im :[[[ aWHg my heart

she was sold to a wealthy rich man. the angel from original poem. the angel that saved them is Apogee? probably. or one of the Five. (these are the details from the poem) (since writing the notes ive decided its most likely aji or dallas)

Memphis. they/she/he/it. agender + pansexual. AUTISMM BRR BRR BRRR where da hoes at (/ref)

no backstory or anything theyre still new but OhhOho My goD tehyre. zjsnsjsnntheyre so pretyt theyr Hot- theyre AHHWHSB /p.

RAHHHHHHHHH

these guys look SOO COOL!!!!!!! i want to befriend tgem ALL……….. im obsessed with aji’s design :000000

i want to give them all a big ol hug

[noxiatoxia]

For real though, and even if people have difficulty and generally dislike a group of people because the civilians and/or country did horrible things to theirs, supported it, turned a blind eye to it, it's their responsibility to block them. That's why instead of putting russians dni, it's their responsibility to block them and anyone who may make them feel uncomfortable. Some people aren't gonna notice dnis and they're not always doing it on purpose.

On another hand I think people have such a black and white view of people, mainly POCs because they perceive civilians as easier to bully or something like that. It's also awfully convenient for them to be like "Oh I can NEVER be like those MONSTERS, I'm a Good Person!! Tm" when everyone is capable of cruelty. Nobody's an exception, that's what makes history and infamous war criminals terrifying because they're human and they're capable of feeling human emotions just like us, even remorse. Beinf sadistic is also part of beinf human and it's our responsibility to be nothing like our ancestors.

tbh my hot take is extremist "progressiveism" has rotted peoples brains into believing it's OK to be racist/mean/violent to a group so long as they are the majority and therefore justifiable. Like it's okay to be racist to white people because they're white. As if it's still not racist lmfao. I don't think these people understand the difference between racism and systemic oppression though. I also just dont understand why they feel the need to justify "I can be mean to white/cis/straight bc xyz" when its less effort to not be a jerk to somebody for their immutable characteristics. it's that kind of hypocrisy that annoys me. if someone is upfront about it it's one thing, like acknowledging you are racist for example. still an ass but at least youre self-aware you suck. i truly cannot stand the people who are like that but delude themselves into thinking its "not as bad" or "justifiable" or even "good". just own up to it.

plus, i genuinely dont think these people are smart at all. because youre just adding fuel to the fire? by being genuinely hostile towards a group who already hates you or is on the fence about it, you give them an intensive to hate you more. like you are actively perpetuating more danger to yourself and your community by acting like a fool. butttt its none of my business in the end. people will always do whatever they want however they want. especially on the internet where they think what they say wont hold a real effect.

First Taste Ch. 1

There is a handsome stranger in the lake. You have never been interested in fins and tails, but that might change... (Cis F human/Cis M siren)

You can also read on AO3.

Your name is Amelia, but everyone calls you Amy. This is how you always introduce yourself, the same way you always tuck every strand of unruly curly hair into your ponytail before leaving for work, the same way you always take a picture of your date's license plate and text it to a friend.

Here is another thing you always do, weather permitting, and sometimes even when it doesn't: you head down to the lake before work, sometimes so early the morning sun is only peeking its head over the edge of the surrounding trees, and you swim.

It's probably not the wisest course of action. You have had close encounters with creeps before. But you have lived in this town your entire life, and by this point, most people leave you alone. If they don't, there's always the can of mace you keep in your backpack along with your work clothes, ready to be changed into once you've had a chance to soak.

Honestly, though, you're usually alone. This early in the morning, even at the tail end of August, the water is so frigid your fingers lose feeling quickly, and sometimes stepping into the water shocks you so badly you can only float, staring dumbly up at the sky while you adjust.

Today is one of those days. You test the water with your fingers and wince, shaking off the drops before your hand can go numb.

You could leave, of course. Put your clothes on and head to work early. Your boss appreciates that.

But this is the only reckless thing you do. You take a deep breath. Then you walk to the dock a few feet down, where people tie up their inner tubes or their paddleboats. The wood is solid but still creaks under your bare feet. You flex your toes on the first board, hoping you won't come away with a splinter. Or tetanus.

Then you take a deep breath and run, full tilt, to the end of the dock and jump in. No graceful dive, this, just a leap as high as you can manage, long enough in the air to give you time to lock your arms around your knees and close your eyes before you land back in the water. The splash is explosive, and you have one brief second to feel pleasure at the sound, breaking the silence like a crack of thunder, before the water swallows you and the cold hits. It robs the breath from you, and you gasp underwater, your eyes popping open even though you made sure to close them.

You draw in one sharp breath of water. Then you realize you aren't alone. There is someone else under the surface too, staring at you. The lake is too murky to make anything out of the stranger except eyes as black as the sky above. 

 Instinctively, you kick for the surface, gasping and spluttering and shaking the water from your eyes.

The figure you saw follows. For a beat, you think maybe you hit your head, but then you realize he's a beast. His skin is bright teal with spots of white, sparkling like stars in an evening sky. Darker gills flick open and closed on the side of his neck; a long, sinuous tail stretches out into the water behind him.

"Are you all right?" he asks in a voice so deep you shiver for a reason that has nothing to do with the cold.

"F-fine," you say, still gaping at him. "Uh—thanks for asking."

He smiles, keeping his lips closed, and you realize something else—he's handsome, all lean swimmer's muscle except for his surprisingly soft face.

You've never been this close to a beast before. They're hardly common, and the last place you ever expected to run into one was in your podunk town. Sure, there's a couple of werewolves, and a vampire works at the high school, but every town has those. Whatever kind of creature he is, he's obviously rare. You only wished you'd paid more attention in the teratobiology class you took in college, but it was a freshman elective, and you were way more interested in the cute TA than the subject matter. You never thought it would be relevant.

More the fool you, apparently.

"I didn't know there was anyone else out here, or I wouldn't have jumped," you say, too unsettled to keep your mouth shut.

"Well, there's no one else but me, and I didn't mind. Are you sure you're all right? Your skin is—" He gestures at your arms, which are covered in goose flesh.

Again, the reason isn't entirely the cold. Instinctively, you pull your arms in to your chest, glad you wear a one-piece bathing suit to swim instead of anything revealing.

"Is that normal for humans?"

"Sometimes." You swallow, still tasting lake muck in your mouth. "When it's cold."

He laughed softly, covering his mouth with one hand. "I'm sorry. That was probably a strange question." He has the oddest accent, musical but also unlike any human voice you've ever heard. "I'm new here."

"I know." He blinks, as if he's wondering if he's met you and forgot, an expression you are all too familiar with. "Not because we've met before. But this is my hometown, and we don't get a lot of beasts."

"So everyone keeps telling me." But his voice is amused, not frustrated. He shifts so he's floating on his side in the water, like the two of you are stretched out in bed together and he's listening to you talk.

You should not be thinking of him in bed, not when he's mostly naked and you are only wearing a thin sheet of lycra over your most sensitive places.

His avid expression keeps your goosebumps fresh, even as your body adjusts to the temperature. "Do you want me to leave? I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

You should say yes because you won't be able to get in a proper swim knowing he's here, even if his attention drifts. You don’t. "It's a free country." His brow furrows slightly. "I don't mind," you clarify. "This place doesn't belong to me." You pause, thinking of stories you aren't sure are true. "Do you... live here now?"

If anything, he looks more baffled at this. "What, in the lake?" You blink, and he laughs. "My home is in the sea. This is just a temporary stopover. I'm renting a cabin over there." He nods at the far side of the lake. You always thought those cabins were sketchy, but maybe he wouldn’t know any better if he doesn’t normally live in a house.

You can't tell if you've offended him, but you decide to apologize anyway because... well, because you always apologize, even for things you know aren't your fault. It's easier that way. "Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed."

"It's all right. Most humans seem to think I live in some sort of underwater castle and get  disappointed when I tell them the Disney version of things is rosier than reality."

You immediately want to ask what kind of place he does live in, but you aren't used to that urge, so you don't.

"I'm here for work," he says, taking pity on you.

Though that only gives you more rude questions instead of releasing your curiosity. What kind of job does a creature like this need? Does he go down to H&R Block every year to file his taxes too? Does he have a Social Security number? The idea is so absurd you almost laugh, but you suppress it just in time so Finch won't think you hit your head.

You realize you haven't actually introduced yourself. "I'm Amy, by the way."

He studies you. His dark eyes are a mirror, reflecting the hint of dawn sunlight creeping over the edge of the lake, the lingering tatters of the night sky above. "Is that short for something?"

You're not sure how he guessed. "My full name is Amelia, but Amy is what everyone calls me."

He considers this as if you've said something profound, or maybe asked him a riddle. "Is it all right if I call you Amelia? I'm not good with nicknames."

Your first instinct is to say no. You don't particularly want him calling you anything—not because he seems rude or creepy, but because his voice is so deep and his eyes are so focused on you and he's so fit. You don't want his attention at all, but only because it would be too easy to get addicted.

But that would be rude, and the idea of treating anyone rudely makes you want to curl up and die. It's just not in your nature, even when it would make your life easier.

Plus, you're used to denying yourself the things you want—an extra shot of whipped cream in your morning coffee, a donut from the office kitchen. Once in a while, though, you have to indulge, and why not with a harmless stranger you'll likely never see again?

"Uh, sure, if you like." You can't help your blush, reaching up to tuck a strand of wet hair behind your ear. "Don't be surprised if nobody knows who you're talking to, though."

"Well, there's only us here," he points out, and it's not flirtatious, but you blush harder anyway, "so I think we'll be okay. Amelia." He pronounces your name carefully, the way you sound out an item on a menu at a French restaurant.

You nod once, movement jerky, unable to speak for just long enough for the silence to turn awkward. "So—what's your name?"

He blinks, as if he hasn't realized he hasn't introduced himself, then laughs, his smile turning embarrassed. "Oh, I'm—I'm Finch." You blink, unsure you've heard him correctly, and he ducks his head. "Like the bird?"

"That's cute."

That seems to set him at ease, or at least he looks you in the eye again. "I'm not used to having to introduce myself. Everyone knows me at home."

"Everyone knows me here. I understand."

The dawn light slowly brightens. Usually, you would swim until your alarm chimes from your stuff, abandoned on the shore, and you had to hurry off back to your apartment to shower and dress. But you're too nervous about staying here with this handsome stranger. The way his attention makes your skin tingle should be pleasant, but it unsettles you. You can't even tell if it's arousal or some kind of primal fear, the sense that you are a human with blunt teeth and nails, and he is a beast, with strong arms and a sharp grin. He could drown you so easily, and you are afraid you might let him.

"I need to get going," you say, reluctantly turning toward the shore. "It was—nice meeting you." You just manage not to turn your voice up at the end, even though it is a question in your mind.

Finch's smile turns serene, and he rolls on his back in the water, looking up at the brightening dawn sky. "The same goes for you, Amelia. Have a good day." From anyone else, those words are perfunctory—you say them a dozen times a day yourself as people pass your desk at work. But he says them so carefully it really sounds like he means it.

"You—you too." You scuttle off before you can think anything else weird.

[box-dwelling]

I stg people really need to start re-evaluating the fact the women's rights is by far the progressive rights movement that has had the greatest change and that now misogyny often acts as an intesifier of other kinds of injustice rather than as much an injustice on its own. An able bodied rich white straight cis lady is not particularly more privileged in 2023 than a male counterpart. Even when it comes to shit like roe v wade being over turned, by having resources, the have the ability to get the healthcare they need by traveling. I'm not saying misogyny doesn't exist or that there isn't genuine issues that make it suck ass to be a woman but if you have all the privileges except the one that we have done the most to overcome, you do not get to be a POS to people who have disadvantages that make them worse off than you. And it is almost always people in that category who are like this. Generally, trans people avoid this because they have to have a more nuanced view of gender, poc watch the men in their lives be hurt by racism manifesting in similar ways to misogyny (better people than me have talked about this at length, but this is a big problem especially for black men), most lesbians I know don't give enough of a shit about men to think this way and most mspec women tend to be far kinder to men than straight women ime (my theory being they have to actively come to terms with their attraction to men and don't just have it as a default). Disability and class are slightly more complex but I think women in those categories tend to realise that you get aid from wherever you can and disregarding 50% of the population is not a great way to build solidarity. I swear so much if this rhetoric is the advantaged grabbing the one thing they are disavantaged by and using it as a weapon to further attack those they view as being below them and claiming it's progressive because they're targeting someone who has the only privilege they lack.

Hmm I don't think radfems are very left wing actually

[andyinmiddleearth]

Lol trans people didn’t give me rights. Marsha said he was a boy in his documentary Pay it No Mind . ITS LITERALLY ON CAMERA. Stop Trans Washing history to get a foot hold over normal gay people who don’t agree with your ideology. HE WAS LITERALLY A GAY MAN. He also stated that he was a dude 10 days before his death. I DONT OWE YOU MENTALLY ILL SHITHEADS ANYTHING. My rights came from the sane lesbians and gays who don’t slit their wrists and have mental breakdowns over their own genitals, you homophobic conversion therapy pushing delusional asshat.

First of all, you’re being ableist by implying being mentally ill is a bad thing. Second of all, not all trans people have bottom dysphoria. Some of us don’t even have ANY dysphoria. Also “trans washing” 💀 are you also gonna tell me the little mermaid is “Black washed” now and cry about the “good old days” when people like me were murdered for existing? (FYI, we are still being murdered. We face disproportionate rates of violence compared to cis people; and the rate is even higher for Black trans women and other WOC. The only difference is that people know about it now, and people like you who want us dead fuel that hatred and get us killed). You sound like a MAGA supporter.

And Marsha’s gender was complicated because of the historical context that she lived in, which had very little trans and non-binary visibility, but she lived her life as a “transvestite”, aka a trans woman back then, and even her close friends said that. She even legally changed her name, which is not something many cis gay men do. But I wouldn’t expect you to understand the complexities of a dead transfem drag queen’s gender identity. Also, you do know not all trans people are straight right? There are gay trans men and lesbian trans women, and non-binary people like me that are bi/pan/ace/gay/lesbian/etc. Thus, how are we doing conversion therapy if… you know… many of us are already gay to begin with 😂

Also it’s funny how I’m the “deluded mentally ill asshat” simply for existing and asking for an ounce of respect, yet you’re the one screaming and anonymously harassing a trans person in their inbox when literally no one fucking asked for your opinion. It’s almost like you’re obsessed with me or something. Do you even have a life outside of this hellsite? Not only that, you continue to slander the trans community without a single source or citation, while I have provided several sources in my links. Not that you would have any anyways except for JKR’s tweets. The post that set you off on your anti-trans crusade was literally a trans intracommunity post that you had no business interfering with. If you want to say something, you can say it to my face, put on your big girl pants, and DM me, or at least ask off anon. Y’all just got your anon privileges removed. I will not allow my trans brothers, sisters, and siblings to continue to see your violent hatred on my page. I refuse to give you a platform any longer.

[onmywaytofanfic]

for the meme, how about Jirobo and Sai :)

WIIII :333 Thanks for the ask! Here is my take on both characters :333

SAI

Sexuality headcanon : Demiromantic and demisexual. It must be considered that their Root trauma has left them with a huge problem to develop their affectionate relationships, not just romantically or sexually but beyond that. So, although they are demi there is that huge trauma that must be considered when they interact in general with someone.

Gender headcanon: Non binary. Male assigned at birth.

A ship that I have with said character: Listen….I know it would be hard to phantom but….SaiCho…. Listen to my reasoning, Chouji is love and Sai needs love. That’s the reasoning. Also, there is a friend that has a ship with them so…OC x Sai is good. Also their cannon partner….InoSai is good for the heart.

A BROTP I have with said character: Again SaiCho, I think Chouji would be so good at helping mend their inner child who was forced to see what they had to see about their brother Shin, Chouji as a bro-therapist I say yes. Also, SaiHinataShino the trio of shy people helping each other. I can see them as kids hanging around doing their own thing that they like together. Hinata would be doing crochet, while Sai drawing and Shino doing entries and they would make their own particular encyclopaedia together about insects and plants. Sai would do the drawings, Shino the research and Hinata would be doing small crochet insect and plants. Then when they are old and have their partners they would actually being sharing that encyclopaedia with their children so they know more about Konoha’s nature.

A NOTP I have with said character: Naruto and Sai, I highly thing that they just like have a neutral relationship. I don’t see any romance nor even true friendship among them, I see them as people who know each other and keep a cordial touch. Also I have seen Sai and Yamato….listen no. Reasoning, no.

A random headcanon: It strikes to me at someone who would hold spicy food very well and also if someone goes like “oh not this package of food is expired for three days, a week…”, They will just look at it and eat it. Listen, they lived in a cabin, in the forest with their brother. I can see both going on like, this food is not bad at all. Then both proceed to eat an apple with a dubious rather black colour.  Their stomach is bullet proof.

General opinion about said character: I actually like how calmed they are and personally I feel very connected to their general “I am Okay” appearance and then you get to know that they are deeply traumatized and yet they keep going on with their life trying too not be, or better said, worried anyone around them. I just want to hang around with them, eating some chips and letting them be more themselves. I love them <3

Jirobo AKA My baby I want to smooch him so hard.

Sexuality headcanon: Bi-king, with a tendency towards female presented people.

Gender headcanon: Cis boy

A ship that I have with said character: ..me biased…. My ship JiroRei. Listen, Jirobo and Reina feels good in the heart and helps me a lot.

A BROTP I have with this character: JiroJuu, listen big himbos together platonic brothers.

A NOTP I have with this character: Unfurtunetly, or luckly? Don’t know. He doesn’t have many people giving him ships and I haven’t seen many nor do I think with whom he may have a bad or a relationship that I absolutely would despise, except maybe if someone goes with Kabuto or Orochimaru etc… then NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

A random headcanon: I cannon that his necklace was given by his dying mother and that he also loves to clean up with his partner Reina :33 They do the cleaning very happily and then get everything dirty.

General opinion of said character: Listen… I wasn’t paying attention not many characters that have so much potential and Jirobo is one of them. I love him kind heartly, the fact that he talked so rude to Chouji was because he felt like that, his teammates were really rude with him. He is so insecure; he did not have a Shikamaru nor very good friends to back him up and make him feel at home (except Kidomaru and Kimimaru) but even them they still need to fight constantly because Orochimaru mean. The sound village has suddenly come to my eyes as a very interesting place together with many other stuffs generally overlooked by Kishimoto. Listen, he may be seen and depicted as a bully to Chouji but he was exteriorizing how people see him and consequently how he saw himself. When he grows up, he starts to see what he was doing as what it was. I can see him apologizing to Chouji and ending being good friends, because Chouji sees how people treated him and understands why he chose that route. Also, I see him as this really soft caring person, a loving husband. I just see him being soft and tender when he is with the people that he loves, even with Sukon, Ukon and Tayuya who have been and would be rude to them even when they are older, but he understands them and just let’s them be like that because he gets that everyone has their own pace. They are mean because they are severely hurt, however, there is also this idea that not everyone must have a sad background to be that mean. I believe that those three are like that with and without all the trauma, but Orochimaru just made stuff worst.

I just picture him being very comfy in a garden, letting soft rays of suntan him even more and Reina on the shade giving him small cares on his head. Listen, I am soft for him, very highly soft for him.

[queerryan]

You people say this and yet you harass female athletes because they don't look "women enough" like that Arab boxer in the Olympics.

Yeah "feminism is for females" until you decide that "female" isn't one. Just like feminists didn't want black women to be seen as women back during the first wave of feminism. By the way, THIS IS STILL HAPPENING, it's not a surprise a lot of women being "transvestigated" by conservatives and terfs are not white!

You people love too say you're against gender stereotypes, and AGAIN you harass and accuse women of being trans because they don't fit your idea of what women should look like. When transwomen don't want to perform the gender stereotypes you say they're "not even trying", when cis women don't want to dress feminine for their own preferences, not because they hate it, they have "internalized misogyny".

You people NEVER cared about gender stereotypes, you reinforce them specially when it comes to trans women, you just pretend to care as a form of oppression. And to say "no one's oppression is based on how they feel" it's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. There's no rules on what oppression will be based. If trans people aren't oppressed for identifying with a different gender then wtf is all the trans victims? Brianna Ghey was just an accident right? A trans person in my country was burned alive while their murderers shouted misogynist and transphobic stuff, if this isn't oppression based on their identity wtf is this? The main politician in my country trying to get the right for abortion, punish misogynist politicians, is a trans woman (Erika Hilton) and yet every single video of people against her always attack her identity, what's her oppression based on then??? (Also the irony with people claiming trans women are a threat to women's rights and yet you go after people fighting for women's rights, not cis misogynist men)

The truth of the thing is Gender is cultural, there are indigenous groups that recognize more than 3 genders, some where there's NONE, concepts of masculinity and feminity switch constantly not only through time but also around the world, to say gender itself it's oppressive just ignores the reality of literally EVERYWHERE, gender itself isn't oppressive, it's how people use it, and history AND THE ENTIRE WORLD have show you that. You can't put an exact definition for a gender identity, it's social, it will depend largely on historical and social/cultural context. Also hilarious how you people claim trans people's identity is based only on stereotypes and get mad when one says they don't change anything on themselves, you claim a definition of women is oppressive and yet get mad when someone gives you one that isn't based on stereotypes, you don't want a definition and yet you demand one.

The irony of it is that you use "Gender" to oppress people the same way conservatives and misogynists does, while at the same time your movement want to reduce people's identity to organ parts that aren't even a default (for YEARS biologists have been saying even sex isn't binary) meanwhile the people you say are oppressing you for identifying with a different gender are not enforcing any rules (except wanting to exist), they just want to live their lives and if you don't want to do X they do they don't give a fuck. There's Nazis walking next to terfs during their protests because of how close you two are in your ideologies, leader of these protests quoting HITLER TOO.

And please, go cry me a river with "cis doesn't mean anything" cis was a term since before the term "transgender" existed, I learn that in high school. "Cis woman" is the same as saying "white woman"

Why do radfems/terfs feel like that excluding non-cis women from their “correct definition of feminism” is something that,, is remotely acceptable? Considering theyre supposedly feminists?
