song of the day!!

Released as a single in May of 1967 and then again on the album "Something Else by the Kinks" in the same year!! It was the bands first single available in true stereo and was ranked 14 on The Rolling Stone's (The magazine) 500 Greatest Songs of all time list!!! In 1967, it was number 2 on the UK's charts and in the top 10 of Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe but failed to chart at all in America!!

Album #97: “Something Else by the Kinks” by the Kinks (1967)

yeah, it’s another Kinks record.

this one didn’t do much for me to be honest. 

though, in keeping with what i said in my last Kinks review about Kinks records not selling well, this was apparently Kinks lowest charting album at the time, which seems pretty wild!

“Daniel Howell breeding kink?”

“Name an animal. Name a woman. Cmon Dan.”

a simply extraordinary half minute here…

[terra-feminarum]

When I took my first steps towards detransition, I never would've imagined other women could accept me as one of their own again. I used to pass a man very well, even to the extent other trans people sometimes were surprised I'm trans.

It has taken many years, and I've had to build a lot of courage, but if I dare to act like I belong, other women are welcoming. And it's not like I look how a woman is expected to look like. My voice is still deep, I have severe hair loss, I don't have breasts.

But it seems like a lot of people can recognize my femaleness, no matter how unusual I look. Not everybody, but enough. I've never made any serious attempt to "pass" as a female, because I feel like I'm done with performing gender roles, and so I do what is comfortable and for me that means looking "manly". My face and body have changed but I've never wanted to rely on wearing "women's clothes" or make-up. Health professionals have asked me several times if I'd want a wig but I don't. Many people recognize me as a woman despite all this.

I wanted to share this because a lot of detrans peer support is from those who are newly detransitioned. It takes time for your body to do it's thing, several years rather than months. If other women can recognize a woman like me as one of their own, I believe most detrans women can hope the same.

I've realized I don't have to look like I never went through medical transition. I did. That's a thing some women go through. The great thing about detransition is that I've been able to stop pretending my past doesn't exist. All parts of my history are part of me. No more deadnames, no more hiding, no more trying to pass, no more secrets.

Listening to this on repeat because I'm horribly sad.

The Kinks - "No Return" From the album Something Else By The Kinks (September 15, 1967)

T4T detrans kink not from transphobic trauma but from the longing of feeling desirable when you used to be a girl, when cis guys would want you. when you had long hair and hardly any body hair and straight boys flirted with you.

but you were trans. you felt awkward in that mold of girl and boy. you were probably gay too, and you liked these boys. but not in the same way they liked you, not the same way other girls around you liked boys. and you missed out on a lot of fun experiences growing up because of this

and now you’re on T. and that’s amazing. and maybe cis gay guys are even into you, and that’s cool. but they just… don’t really get you. and you don’t really get them. sometimes you kinda wish you could be that young girl again, and have the guys you’re interested in wanting your attention and putting in the work to have you as their girlfriend. you used to have that, but you missed out on those opportunities

and let’s say you try to hook up with straight guys. the problem is. not that many are gonna be into you, you’re too hairy, too many, voice too deep, and even if they are okay with that they just wanna fetishize your trans body. they’re not seeing you how you want to be seen. you want to be GIRL. you want to be feminine again and wanted

but with a trans guy? happily seeing you as a girl? seeing right through you, loving those curves and your soft skin and recognizing the girl underneath your transition? he understands and he gets it. and you see HIM how he needs to be seen. as the young man going after girls like he never got to when he was young before his transition. because cis girls just don’t get it. but you get it.

ok themed tummy prompts: sleepy😴🛌

Your character finds themself feeling hungry late at night. It's just about their bedtime, and they have a choice to make: stay up a little longer to eat something, or go to bed with their belly empty and rumbling.

For whatever reason, your character's belly isn't feeling good. They're tired and miserable, and all they want to do is curl up in bed and sleep it off. Are they able to?

Your character ate far too much and is still feeling uncomfortably stuffed by the time they get to bed. As they tuck themself in, they find themself struggling to get comfortable with their taut, achy tummy.

After a huge dinner, your character is desperate to get out of their now-too-tight clothes and into their comfortable pajamas.

Your character wakes up absolutely ravenous in the middle of the night and decides to creep off to the kitchen for a big midnight snack.

Maybe they've eaten too much or maybe they're just sick, but your character's upset stomach is giving them weird dreams.

Your character wakes up hungry one morning and sleepily makes themself a nice big breakfast.

Your character wakes up not hungry in the slightest one morning, their belly feeling bloated and unsteady, to find that somebody else has gotten up early to lovingly put together a beautiful breakfast for them.

Following a big, warm, heavy meal, your character finds themself struggling to stay awake.

Your sleepy character is reluctant to get out of bed in the morning, but their hungry belly is begging them to get moving.

Your character has eaten far too much, but they don't notice just how much their belly is bulging out until they're getting undressed to go to bed.

Somebody dozes off using your character's belly as a pillow. Hopefully they didn't have plans to get up any time soon.

The Kinks (1967)

[henry-fox-biggest-stan]

Chappell Roan and Casey McQuiston let’s go

Good Luck, Babe - Shara Wheeler!!! Shara heard this for the first time when it came out and dropped to her knees.

Naked In Manhattan - One Last Stop!! The most One Last Stop song to ever One Last Stop. Seriously. It’s SO them.

Casual - Alex after the lakehouse. I know you’re thinking “but the song is so Henry!! Two weeks and your mom invites me to her house in Long Beach!” but you’re wrong. Henry meant for it to be casual the whole time, and when it was clear than for Alex it wasn’t casual, he ran. It was never casual for Henry, sure, but Alex thought it was after he left the lakehouse. Also Jane when August kept insisting the kisses were purely “for research”.

Picture You - Somehow both Henry and August.

Pink Pony Club - IKSW cast after leaving False Beach in the future (specially Shara), also August through the book, with all the people she met (oh Santa Monica, you’ve been too good to me)

My Kink Is Karma - Chloe Green!

HOT TO GO! - I feel like this will fit The Pairing (no I haven’t read it, but I do have read reviews)

Red Wine Supernova - August!! I mean, “she was a playboy, she showed me things I didn’t know, she did it right there, out on the deck, put her canine teeth on the side of my neck” and “fell in love with the thought of you” is SO august.

Femininomenon - Nora, Shara, and Myla would know the whole song from memory and scream it during car rides.

California - Teen Jane after running away from home to be herself, finding herself missing her sisters and her parents.

Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl - June Claremont-Diaz the super graphic ultra modern girl that you are.

Kaleidoscope - Henry before the lakehouse, thinking than Alex would eventually get tired of him and it was all just casual fun.

Die Young - Somehow, Bea (before rehab)

Coffee - Kit perhaps. Again, haven’t read the pairing, but based on reviews (containing spoilers) then…

After Midnight - Our bisexual icon, Alex (while drunk)

Guilty Pleasure - August! Also Shara (guilty cause you know)

Love Me Anyway - Both Alex and Henry!!! “When I met you at summer camp, I would never give you the chance,” Alex hating Henry after meeting him at Rio, and Henry wanting to keep distance from Alex. “Turned you down at your high school dance” Alex insisting to keep things casual and Henry leaving the lakehouse.

Good Hurt - Baby Henry with Philip’s uni friend, who he knows is not the best choice, but he’s just lonely and grieving and needs someone, anyone.

Meantime - Perhaps Liam’s pov of his situationship with Alex during high school.

Sugar High - Rory about Smith.

Bad For You - idk (and no, it is not rwrb)

The Subway - DUH august during the month she thought Jane went back to the 70s. Also Alex after the lakehouse, but mostly August.

rest in peace, chappell roan, you would LOVE one last stop
