eddie begins having chris and buck in the most flashbacks vs. in another life having eddie and christopher's flashbacks be the first

I actually just realised that "slice of life" is like an anime only term I think. Like I don't know why I never thought of it but what shows outside of anime/manga are labeled "slice of life?"

Like by all means shows like Friends and Cheers should technically qualify but they're instead called a sitcom which makes me wonder how many other fairly basic genres are regionally locked like that (besides stuff like Swedish Dramas or Kpop obviously)

Does anyone want to compose wierd stuff with me?

Not to invalidate the message or cast doubt upon the veracity of the statement against heteronormative programming and how it erases gender euphoria, the idea fills me with existential discomfort because it's not *just* that I want to feel that affirmation in my expression of masculinity but also I doubt how much of that desire is from my own consciousness and how much of it is that same programming telling me I want to comply.

I remember being mocked and ridiculed for wearing eyeliner when I was younger. I remember being called a transvestite for an entire school year because I wore makeup during a play production because I had read that was what serious actors did. I remember not being able to wear pink or purple or even *yellow* because they were "too girlie". I remember being called weird cause I painted my nails.

So how can I trust that a printed bowling shirt brings me "euphoria" and it's not just the sapped and strained remnants of that inner boy just being satisfied that no one is going to make fun of me for *this* outfit? And how many other people comply for the same reason?

this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.

stuck between "psychological horror statement" and "objectively the funniest thing you could say to your real flesh and blood dad" in the father's day card aisle

This pun is hilarious, but Victor Frankenstein would absolutely not fucking say that.

i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.
