I read too many stories of "women" throughout history who lived as men and wore men's clothing getting beaten and arrested for it, sensationalized in the press as "man-woman," painted as perverts and monsters, put in literal freakshows, and forcibly institutionalized to sit by quietly while non-transmascs loudly and confidently claim that "female masculinity" has never been targeted as much as "male femininity" has. Read some trans and queer history that isn't only about gay men and trans women before you open your mouths about butches and transmascs, or better yet just listen to us about our history and experiences in the first place.

#not to mention the modern day lived experiences of trans men and mascs we are always trying to tell you about #I get laughed at and called a dyke for the way I present but yeah sure non transmasc tumblr user you definitely know my life better than me #I've compiled a reading/re-reading list for myself using material from my trans studies classes & over the next couple weeks #I'll be posting some important bits from them that illustrate some of these situations I've learned about once I have more details #trying not to engage with transandrophobes online but when this rhetoric is coming directly from trans academics it's like :/#transandrophobia #mine

hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

#ask #non mdzs #My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl #So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume #but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice #and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

yall ever think Shen Yuan went through like, internet withdrawal after being transmigrated into Shen Qingqiu? Like, he's canonically a NEET shut-in who did nothing but spend his time online, you can't tell me that for the first week or first few weeks of being SQQ he wasn't twitchy.

Like, reaching instinctively to his pockets for a phone that wasn't there, having an obsessive itch in the back of his mind that he should check and see if X or Y novel or webcomic has updated -- only to realize he can't anymore and being irritated by it. Wanting to go and see if there's new posts about this or that, but again realizing that he can't.

When he's bored or uncomfortable or just feels like wanting to escape he tries to go for his phone to distract himself, but oops! Not there anymore, and now he has to find a new and different way to distract himself from his feelings. And going through system notifications, quests, etc only does so much.

And there's that Tetris Effect too. SQQ makes a mistake while writing and instinctively goes to backspace on it except hey-ho that's not a keyboard and now he just dipped his pinkie into a bottle of ink or on a still-drying letter.

With him scrambling to fix his reputation and learn how to be a peak lord, I think his abrupt cold-turkey from all things internet would just be another straw on the camel's back that he promptly Ignores until it goes away on its own after he acclimates to his new surroundings.

#svsss #mxtx svsss #scum villain #scum villian self saving system #shen yuan #shen qingqiu #i think him learning how to be a peak lord and cultivation and everything else would help distract him from the internet withdrawal for the #most part. but the moment there's a lull in the day and his mind wanders or he becomes bored or stressed and he instinctively reaches back #for his phone and realizes it isn't there it just sends a spike of panic/frustration/irritation through him because its a familiar comfort #and now its gone. like this is all based off my own experiences from being Chronically Online but i just think its neat to think about #in that same vein i think it also pushes him into getting into the arts on QJP. Like as the peak lord naturally he would be doing this kind #of stuff but hes NOT the peak lord but to keep up appearances he has to know how to do this stuff. and finds it??? actually quite rewarding #even more than getting into an argument online or getting a new merch item. he's making or doing this stuff. he starts drawing and finishes #a piece and regardless of its skill level he feels something unclog in his chest. like sediment being scraped off the bottom of a creek and #being washed downstream. a weight that's been slogging through his veins suddenly untangled. physical proof of his efforts that feels great #starry is incapable of NOT giving her favorite blorbos more hobbies. starry is incapable of not giving her favorites artsy hobbies #this is probably NOT a new or original thought whatsoever but im throwing it out there anyways bc it fascinates me. i love transmigration #and albeit i've only read isekai manhwa/manhua there's a common theme of the people there assimilating into their new lives relatively quic #which i know is for ease of transition and getting to the rest of the story. but WHAT IF.#i have still not read svsss yet and idk when i'll be able to BUT have some thoughts anyways

going with orym’s ecosystem analogy, as I think that’s the strongest, most defensible argument for not killing the gods:

it is not inherently wrong to ‘feed’ off the energy of other beings. animals kill plants to eat them, those animals die and are eaten in turn, whether by other animals or by the process of decomposition feeding plants and fungi. animals breathe out carbon dioxide, which plants absorb and convert into oxygen, which we breathe in. this is how life works.

life needs things to live, but it also needs things to die and it needs things to use other things. we do not—and cannot—exist in isolation from each other.

the gods are here. they have been incorporated into exandria’s ecosystem for millennia. we cannot go back and change that, so how do we move forward with it?

#hi local keyleth and caduceus kinnie thinks about the balance of nature #also i’m not using ludinus’s shark/krill analogy bc it’s nonsensical go read a zoobook or something buddy #bro has lived over 800 years and hasn’t bothered to learn basic animal facts where is your curiosity man #critical role #cr spoilers #eve talks

ive been thinking about the red string superstition recently and also sol bufo always and it makes me sick how uncannily caldwell tanner has made sol to perfectly target me personally

(+ cropped versions !)

#naddpod #ba2mia #ba2umia #solum bufo #swag daniels #calliope petrichor #calder kilde #alexandrite #posts by me dot com #okay..... SECRET TAGS RAMBLE!#so basically this superstition is like ... i think a chinese/buddhist/taoist superstition?#ive taken some creative liberties with it... but its mostly accurate to how its been told to me?#but of course theres lots of variations! some more abt bad luck; some say to tie it on the doorknob #etc etc ... lots a variations #i was also rlly interested in the .... weird illogic? of the thing?#like the red attracts and repels spirits at the same time #so thats something i was thinking about with too. red is assocuated with both swag and alexandrite. which to me was kinda reflecting like #i think what murph said . swags place in the wild is in a way. an extension of what he learned from the network #mothership s inextractivle from sol and swags lives. they will always be held doen by it. thats the spirit that will follow them forever #that they choose to hold on too! as much pain as it brought ... some of the experience was worth it #and anyway. theres somethingwrong w me that the minute someone brought up this superstition my brain went #'ohhh just like sol!' < needs to touch grass moment #but i CANT BELIEVE. CALDWELL DID THE RED STRING. AND ITS LITERALLY A MOURNING RITUAL #caldwell keeps accodentally makig that frog ASIAN. to MEEEE!!!!!!#but. anyway. idk. ive always hced sol kept the piece of yarn and it makes me kinda .... what if y let the malicious spirits follow you.#and haunt you. what if its the closest you can get to keeping the person still around #and sol and swag obviously have so much about homes .... so!#(ok. weve reached the pt where maybe nobodys reading? so confession is this is sort of a well. ive just been doodling this comic everyday #after a wake. and it was sort of inspired after realising i was even a bit sad about it maybe. so. idk its about sol but also?#i guess the projection doesnt end at him being asian. hehe. is what i mean. LOL. okay secret tags over . buried lore. dont look here folks)

I want you to know that your art is very important to me, and I'm very invested in all of the characters I have seen from you. Also, the discussion about Finnish and other languages having gendered words or not has been the last little push to get me to start learning Finnish which I think is fun.

I'm making this a little compilation post of all the language asks I got. Thank you for sharing, this was genuinely really interesting!

#answered #anonymous #long post #the-biornicles #procyon-caffeinaeus #also this may sound childish but it's always thrilling whenever I get to read posts like these #I dunno it's just so outlandish that there are a bunch of people living in the various corners of the planet who like my art and characters #and take the time to read the nonsense I write in tumblr tags #you'd think you would get used to the idea but no it still makes me giddy #also to the anons learning Finnish I'm cheering for you #Finnish people are typically extremely stoked/flattered/shyly pleased whenever someone deems our language even a little bit worth learning #and they love to tell you that Finnish is hard but it's mostly because it's not an Indo-European language #so chances are it's going to be sort of different and incompatible with the language(s) you already speak #English for example is more closely related to Sanskrit Bengali and Persian than Finnish

Actually so tired that people mainly focus on the bdsm when they talk about La Pianiste when we literally have this dynamic right here. Like, that's insane.

What if you were a little girl in her 40's who couldn't grow up because of your mother-wife who made you sleep in her bed and forced you to repress every sexual desires and thoughts of becoming your own person just to keep you close to her ? What if you fought back and yearned for dangerous things out of her reach ? But also, what if you let her because it's all you've ever known and been taught to want ?

#these two are so entangled with each other and in the roles they play #(mother and daughter. husband and wife. prodigal or ungrateful daughter. adoring or mocking mother)#that they cannot handle it when something else is thrown into the mix #There's no space left because they fill all the roles in each other's lives.#but at the same time they never give the other exactly what she wants #The fights never last. Erika will never live up to her mother's ambitions. And her mother will never give her any form of affection which #might satiate her hunger for love. And so on.#They are deeply imperfect- Love and Despise each other but they could never bear the thought of being separated #When I read the part in the book where Erika talks to Walter for the first time and all she wants is to go back into her mother's womb...#you can't make that shi up #when people talk about toxic yuri that's what they could mean but unfortunately we live in a society #gradually learning to accept the person I'm becoming who would've been burned at the stake by my younger self <3 #been having so much thoughts about this film once again. And I know that nothing written here is new but I'm a little sad no one really #talks about this relationship online since it's really the heart of the story for me #Of course everything happening with Walter is important. But none of that would be there without the mother-daughter situation #la pianiste #the piano teacher #haneke #sheep stuffs #isabelle huppert #also I'd kinda get it if it was another film and it made people too uncomfortable to talk about it. but I mean this is literally La Pianist

mental illness is getting so invested in reading the Odyssey for your Greek and Roman Lit class that instead of reading books 5-8 of the Odyssey today during your 2 hour gap from 12 - 2 PM between your first class and your Greek and Roman Lit class, you instead read books 5-16 and realize you missed your Greek and Roman Lit class at 2 PM

Because you were too busy reading ahead in the book for that class

I learned an hour later that he had cancelled our class today anyways

#doctorsiren #not art #siren speaks #IT’S SO GOOODDD #I GOT TO THE PART WHERE ODYSSEUS AND TELEMACHUS REUNITE #IT’S SO CUTE WAHHHHHH #yeah I’m too invested #I was gonna email him and tell him this funny story but then I learned WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE CLASS TODAY HAHA]#I was live-reacting to my discord server as I read #and transcribing passages to react to #i’m a silly little guy

you know im thinking. im thinking maybe Yoichi wasn't even that into captain hero as an adult, but AfO kept bringing LITERALLY every conversation back to that because he decided to Be The Demon Lord and so Yoichi like, can't get an argument in unless he uses the same material so he's like 'oh my god i haven't even thought about that comic in ten years but even i know the bad guy didn't win. you should not be basing you whole identity, business model, and world destruction plan on your five-second impression of a comic book bad guy who didn't even win! also you shouldn't kill people!'

#AfO has a very flat picture of Yoichi in his head #His Possession. Weak and small. and taught him language reading and socialization with Captain Hero #he's THORS POPTARTS-ing his own brother in his memories #what sort of art styles did yoichi like? how did he interact with gender? did he like his eyes or did he wish they were different? was he a #morning person or a night person? were there clothing textures he loved or couldn't stand? did he like to collect feathers or leaves? did h #ever pick up any sense of religious knowledge from his assorted readings? cultural identity? did he learn how to cook in theory but never #had the materials to practice? or did he cook once they were older as AfO sort of internalized that as yoichi's subservient role?#or did he make absolute monstrosities when he attempted to bake anything?#We dont know because all we see of Yoichi is:#his brother's memories of him. could be flanderization for all we know #and an imprint of Yoichi in ofa #who by necessity has to be focused on his brother #we'll never get to see the whole picture of the dead holders. they're dead. and we can't change that. can't know their vibrant lives #so yeah lets see. a five+one fic about yoichi's changing relationship with media property captain hero over time in his life and death #compared to afo's static impression of yoichi's relationship / afo's own unchanging relationship with it #hmmmm
