An excruciatingly long slow-burn fanfiction could fix him. (Debatable)
#spoken from personal experience#slowburn anything long enough you can fix that evil evil man#we love him as he is in this house tho#anyways there is actual good slowburn vox fics that do let him change for the better like realistically with all his evil on full display#they are very good#he is fucked up but we can make him slightly less fucked up#as a treat#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel vox#hazbin vox#vox hazbin hotel#i like evil men as much as the next but he is just so pathetic to me#pathetic pathetic man#something something when all of the characters are evil (hell) sometimes you crave the opposite of what you would usually want

no babe you can form your own opinions you've just learned to automatically check what other people think and form them in accordance in fear of having the "wrong" ones and have hindered your own critical thinking as a result
#this post may or may not be based on personal experiences#for me it's mostly media consumption but also this 100% applies politically#to a shitton of people i think#but yea i hate that i've basically learned to rely on commentary youtubers to spoon-feed me opinions on media#i'm trying to break away from that but man i am very bad at being critical of the things i watch#hila has spoken

me when i meet with my colleges first out trans teacher who is like a celebrity with me after one of my teachers puts me in contact with her again (i had interviewed said trans teacher 4 years prior and hadnt met with her since) and she tells me tjat my teacher had so many positive things to say about me, about how i was one of her brightest most well spoken students and that she (within like 5 minutes of having been talking) immediately sees exactly what my professor had been talking about and so many super implied positives about me that i would never had known about and i dod everything in my power to avoid prying for more details but even what i heard was soso nicies
#iwillspeakincessantly#god it felt so nice to meet with her again#talking woth someone whos been so influential at my school and the whole state as far as transgender and queer policy making and has#so many connections amd experience and is also trans and historically a teacher bfor she retired#genuinely makes me feel so much better about my life and where im going#and less worried about if ill ever be able to live a peaceful life as a trans twacher when she personally knows#multiple other transmen tbats shes taught who are now teaching IN MY STATE#safely and happily#ough#we said wed meet more in the future and she encouraged me to join the cities pride group that she had founded and is the head of#and maybe tjis time ill actjally go#she even gifted me a book that she had had that she thinks would give me solace and comfort in my life#tbat was also written by a trans man sinxe she thinks im easily intelligent enough to get the humor and referwnces in#god she said i was well spoken and articulated even tho i feel so stupid and inarticulate sometimes#since i ramble a lot and lose my thoughts and i feel like my speaking vocabulary is so lowbrow and cheap often#no matter how many times other peope say i always sound so intelligent when i speak#ARGH#been super steessed about a lot of things in my life and if ill make it out alive but just this short hour and a half convo over a food#has made me feel so mich better and happier and hopeful#argh argh ougj i love finding out that people talk immense amount of positive things about me#god#i was rlaking about how often i struggle woth socializing amd making friends and she aas like really? ive been having a wondefful time#walkimg with you youre so intelligent and well spoken and its like thank you my issues ckme from group settings#and unclear un familiar subjects and ettiqutes of my fellow youths#but it made me feel so good about myself#im gonna implode :333333 positive

maybe this is just due to my upbringing but everyone knows that no matter what YOU DO NOT START A WAR AGAINST THE HOUSEKEEPER, they will win and they will make your life hell while you do it
I have watched 5 minutes of season 1 of bridgerton and I know I shouldn’t expect much and I was ready to let go of them not wearing chemises but why on earth are they wearing corsets with an empire waistline? What is the point of it?
#spoken from personal experience#i have seen what housekeepers can do when they want to cause trouble#its just not worth it

Trying so hard to not just fucking hate my comms class but my professor is making it real hard
#our first project is to record a personal story about a life changing moment in our life and then we will get assigned someone else’s story#to read and perform and that part is the bigger grade.#like bro. I have lists of life changing experiences. none of them are ones I want to tell a room of 18-20 year olds I’ve never spoken to#and then listen to them perform it back like it’s a scene from a play. what the fuck is thought process here. I’m gonna kill myself or#perhaps someone else. our prof was talking about how ppl always seem to drop her class early like maybe if this wasn’t your first assignment#and you didn’t have a graded participation check and or quizzes at the start of every class that you aren’t able to make up less ppl would#drop your fucking class. what is wrong with you. this is insane I mean neurodivergent#also my professor just kind of sucks. ya know how ppl say the bitchiest white women will go into teaching or nursing to feel like they have#power over ppl? it’s very that. she told us on the first day she makes people leave her class if they’re texting like bro. we are adults.#there are other things happening in our fucking lives.#comms class from hell#prsnl

my take on what color human! Grimmjow's hair is: it's blond but like. it never really is. he bleaches it, dyes it with a box dye and, like, he uses gloves if they are in his immediate proximity when he decides to dye it again. So each month he will have blue under his nails for a couple of days.
and his ends are just hay bc of all the shitty dyes and bleaching, and his roots are constantly outgrown cause he has better shit to do than dye his hair regularly🥺🥴
and his eyebrows are normal person sized but since they're blonde they aren't really visible anyway so he shaves a good chunk off for funsies. He tried using the hair dye on them once and almost lost his eyesight
#and and andbanz s#i love him your honor??#grimmeow#grimmjow bleach#grimmjow jaegerjaquez#spoken partially from my own experience.#projected partially as a blonde person#dude blonde eyebrows are a bitch 😮💨

When school starts back up again im gonna search for people who will want to hang and watch movies
#twirls mustache thiughtfully#i need to get better at being comfortable with doing mundane things#hanging out makes me anxious Like i gotta show up with my best#i gotta chill out#whenever im hanging with someone new the same 3 things go through my head#1 Is this person getting bored 2 Do they think i dislike them or 3 the worst one that haunts me Do they think im just some clueless twerp#i hate the thought of coming across as clingy or childish#i feel like it;s so obvious when i like someone or want to be around them and That means i need to be shot or something#i feel like#the people i want to hang out with the most are the most likely to raise an eyebrow at the fact#i saw a group of people with skateboards heading out late one night and was like god damn i wish i could go#i know that the the only one stopping me is myself#but idk. i feel like i’m not cool enough for most people#so just being Me isnt enough to convince someone to want me around#kinda had a cool experience that night my roommate invited me to hang with her friends#it chipped away a little at that fear#because i thought everyone in there was so cool and they seemed to like me just as much#and i was just being myself. certain things made it a little easier#they told me i had a bed whenever i wanted it And to come over whenever i wanted to#the guy who intimidated me the most ended up coming to the park and feeding ants with me and it was great#i saw him again later that day and he went eebieeee!! and he sounded so happy to see me#i feel like i’m being socialized from square one. i’ve been such a recluse up till the last couple of years#IM BAD AT SMALLTALK TOO. ABNORMALLY BAD. i feel like im reading shit off of a card#can we just skip all that#i miss my friend from highschool who tried to sell me on cannibalism when we’d barely spoken#here i stand 5’4 psychologically naked and trembling in my jesse pinkman ass getup#does anyone want to fix me#even after trimming ghis down it still feels crazy vulnerable. whatever#i’ll probably just delete this all later anyways

social anxiety can be really funny in retrospect bc it will have you saying shit like 'is it weird to call a doctor's office and schedule an appointment?"with 100% sincerity and panicking about it as if that's not the silliest thing in the world
#this is a personal post about my own experiences having grown up with a debilitating social anxiety disorder#that is more or less under control thanks to meds#if you are scared of calling doctors offices or ordering subway or Being In Public i am not mocking you#anxiety disorders are disorders BECAUSE they are debilitating phobias that lacks logic#(hence why CBT for anxiety often talks about thinking through anxiety with logic)#mostly it's remarkable how far i've come in just four years (i was looking back through old personal posts) and i'm making a joke about tha#bc it feels silly from the other end! but i also remember being that person. i remember how fucking horrible it was#and the thing about anxiety is it does look silly or baseless or stupid from the outside#and sometimes we even see that. but that doesn't change the fact that our brains and bodies are working against us#social anxiety really fucks with your perception of reality. i don't want to say like.. to the level of delusions but it will have you#Making Shit Up. felt extreme social anxiety getting food at a buffet as a child. like to the point where i didn't want to do it if i didn't#have someone else with me bc i thought doing anything Alone was Weird. including. walking#my brain was just gaslighting me to the point of paranoia and of course anyone who's been gaslit or otherwise manipulated#feels stupid once they have the benefit of hindsight. especially when the call was coming from inside the fucking house!#because it seems 'obvious' now. but that doesn't matter!#which is why i'm saying like. if you are the person feeling Wrong being alone in public or making phone calls#i Have Been There. I was there for most of my life lol. i spent more time constantly anxious than i have spent with controlled anxiety#i Remeber what it was like. so this is not me saying “git gud” it's me saying “damn getting better and having hindsight will leave you#thinking about the past in a different light!" which is just how the progression of time#and character development works lol#anyway#the queen of trash has spoken

Mum: I don't understand why the council would treat you, a disabled person, so poorly!
Me: well yeah it's disgusting but their reasoning is none of this is support needs so I can go off my meds, that's not their problem, never leave the house, etc etc, none of these count as support needs-
Mum: stop! This is too upsetting to hear!
Me, who is currently living it as and as a direct result of my mother making me homeless: sure it def is upsetting
#personal shit#My mum sure believed that the council would help a well spoken white person from a middle class area#But the reality is the council doesn't help fucking anyone!!!#It was bad before 14 years of austerity!#Anyways the words she's looking for is I feel guilty#Instead I'm not allowed to be even remotely negative about my experiences#Like I was making fun of some of the housing listings and how shit they are#And how they take photos of the corner of a room#While when selling a house they take a million photos#And mum got super fucking hostile#The rental market is infamously terrible it's fine!! I'm laughing!#Anyways if anyone wants me I'll be lying on the floor face down until my support worker emails me back

Boy do I have updates
#I had my first experience with an arranged marriage type situation#Checked off all my boxes but I felt absolutely nothing#it was agonizing to try and process my feelings when our parents had spoken and everyone was so excited#so i sent a nice little message about how I’m just not feeling enough of a connection to move forward#and he said he wasn’t feeling it either but thought flying out to meet me would help#and that was ofc a major ick for me#if we’re not obsessed with each other I don’t want it!!!#so anyway I’m so relieved so glad I followed my heart#and now ofc everyone is acting like they agreed with me all along#but I feel so free and like I can really trust myself#this morning I went to this lecture series on world religions at this church nearby#it was open to everyone and it was in the university’s religious life newsletter#it was hilarious being the only nonwhite person under the age of like 70#todays talk was about Buddhism and the chaplain from the meditation groups I’ve been going to was the speaker#so they gave me a lil shout out when talking about the university’s activities#and thennnnn at 1 I had my first date with Andrew#he lives an hour away but he drove all the way out here#we got ice cream and sat outside and talked#he is so handsome omg#tall and a thick beard and fit and suuuper well dressed but in a very understated way#a super deep voice and a bit of a southern accent which truly had me swooning#also he paid for my ice cream without me knowing which was so sweet#he’s from a suuuper tiny town but did his master’s here in the city#and one green flag is when he was talking about some friends’ bachelor parties he mentioned all these super wholesome activities#he laughs a lot#I had a really nice time#and I’m realizing that I’m so much more confident now#I can talk to anybody and really keep a conversation going#I took a Power Nap but I gotta get back to my homework soon phew#remember

There's probably something interesting to be said about how when british trans women on tiktok are doing their 'man voice' as a joke, they often also switch accents to MLE.
There's something there about the accents people choose to depict certain characteristics and the hypermasculinisation of men of colour in our society.
I don't wanna deep this, this is not having a go at any of these women. It's almost definitely a subconscious choice. I just think it reveals something interesting about out attitudes towards certain dialects, and the communities that use them.
#MLE being Multicultural London English for anyone unfamiliar with different UK accents#Colloquially referred to as a 'road man accent'#Unlike aave it is spoken by people from all different ethnic backgrounds in London#But is still heavily racialised in public perception#And as always caveat I am a white trans man and MLE is not my native dialect#So I'm approaching this subject with academic experience but not personal experience

its sooooo fucking satisfying seeing some cocky sub that was just teasing you moments ago moan desperately while you push their head into the mattress >:3c
#this is spoken from irl experience#overpowering someone is so fucking gooddhehheehehe#this person also had wrists tiny enough that my whole hand wrapped around them :3c#well. smaller wrists + my hands being big#transgenderism has its benefits (big hands to grab wrists with)

#so.#i had this person come in to my job#clearly an older butch: leather jacket the whole nine#and on her way out she stopped back at my desk#she was soft spoken to begin with and we had one final brief exchange#and then almost like a highschooler dropped a small note next to me and all but ducked and ran#'to bad your at work otherwise i would have asked for your number :)'#this came on the heels of a bunch of older men winking at me and hitting on me (ew) and like#this was so genuinely different? I can't stop thinking about it#like here's this woman who saw my buzzed hair and rainbow flags and thought she'd take a chance#it makes me feel... something in my stomach#that's so different than the dude asking 'if it hurt when i fell from heaven'#excuse me#it was like my first Gay Experience™ and my coworkers made it weird#so maybe I'm just being weird but like. i had to put it somewhere...#might delete this later but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“but sasha you just spent like the past hour complaining about having to talk to other people in french why would you want to go back to europe” easy. i don’t speak german or italian or spanish. and the awkwardness of being an english speaker in austria or italy or wherever is far better than trying to speak subpar french to a french person
#sasha speaks#have you ever spoken to a french person. in french. it's one of the most intimidating experiences in the world. it's like bomb diffusal#joke. sort of. but it's really hard :( esp cause a lot of french people will just talk to YOU in english if your french is bad#once again i apologize deeply to maxime from cameroon for my horrible french today but he was very nice and patient about it#non-french francophones tend to be more patient and forgiving about the language and with learners in my experience...#although i know he was probably like. trained to talk to learners. and not just anybody would have that kind of helpful attitude#also i think west african french accents are easier to understand a lot of times than france french or quebecois accents SORRY#idk why but i do#also for the record when i travel somewhere even if i don't know the language i do TRY to learn at least a few common phrases and words#i do TRY to be polite and learn a bit. i don't want to be an ignorant self-centered american#(my gd i am embarrassed to be american when i travel)#and in most places people seem to be cool about that#i can actually get by a bit reading italian but spoken italian is pretty much useless to me#but german. sorry guys. hopeless

Tbqh the only reason why I don't write original fiction is because I don't feel confident in writing a realistic man. Which is funny because I can write men in fanfiction, but like.... Tbh, I don't think they're very realistic men either. People don't talk like men from games, manga, etc. Which I suppose someone can say, "Well if fictional men don't sound like real men, then why do you need to worry so much?" And I suppose that's a valid point. But still, regardless of how logical it is, I want to write a realistic man.
#rambles#i think i overthink it#i start diving too deep#'what does it mean to be a man?'#'what does it mean to be a woman?'#'what separates a woman from a man?'#regardless of my opinions on gender i've always spoken like a woman#before one of my online friends found out my ethnicity she thought i was a white girl from california bc i talk in a valley girl sort of way#and i think i let that bother me too much? when it comes to writing i mean#i cant talk like a guy#so if i can't talk like a guy does that mean i wont be able to write a realistic man?#but again what does it mean to be a guy? what does it mean to talk like a guy?#i already know that men are not necessarily more logical than women#and women are not necessarily more emotional than men#but still#the theres the whole psychology of men (specifically amab men)#i dont understand manly pride#i dont understand the desire to be respectedo#i dont understand the desire to protect and provide#nb and trans men may say that desire isnt built into being a man but it sure is for amab men#if you want my personal opinion that my brain believes but every other fiber of my being does not....#other than biological definitions there is no true definition to any of the two binary genders#if you believe to 'feel' like a man or a woman you are basing it purely upon the what society defines to be male and female#there is no true gender experience#you are you#and yet though i believe that i still believe that i can't write a believable man#terrible
