Okay so in my Computer Applications class we learned about conditional formatting in Excel, where you can change the color of a cell by inputting certain values.

We're supposed to use it to model heat gradients in metals, but I found a better application:

HEY YOU!

Yeah, you! Are you trans? Do you like reading books? Or watching movies?

Do you like media about trans men/transmasculine characters but don't know where to find it?

That's sooo crazy because I have this little spreadsheet I'm working on where I'm trying to document all media with protagonists/major characters who are FTM or transmasculine.

The spreadsheet currently has 400+ entries spread across the following categories:

Books

Manga

Memoirs and non-fiction

Movies

TV Shows

Graphic novels / Comics

Webcomics

Audio dramas

Books and movies are also sorted by:

Which character is trans (MC, love interest, antagonist, etc)

If the trans character is POC

The trans character's sexuality (Because I saw lots of transhet guys sad about only being able to find gay romances)

If the author/actor is also trans (if we know for sure)

It's free to use, and free to add to as well! Editing permissions are on, and I check on the spreadsheet every now and then to make sure everything is in order and to clean up.

If you know something that isn't on the list, please add it! You don't have to fill in every single column, but fill it to the best of your abilities.

If you don't want to use the big ass long link below, you can also use: bit.ly/FTM-protags

I made this because I want it to be a community resource. So even if you're not a trans guy or transmasculine person, please reblog!

got a worm nibbling my brain. can someone help me find a piece of obscure media?

webcomic/indie comic from the 2010s. basically a sci-fi short story about a young girl (with red hair?) who was being raised by scientists as part of an experiment. she receives a haircut/has her head shaved, in preparation for her annual brain scan/testing. it is revealed that while her body is human, her "brain" is artificial, made of computer implants throughout her skull and spine. at some point her biological mother (also a scientist on the same campus?) encounters her and is repulsed, viewing her as a machine who has murdered her daughter.

it was very poignant and it bruised my heart and i can NOT find it anywhere

I took my own instructions and played with them a bit. I tried it out in CS Paint, but got too into it. I moved it over to the sheets, and labeled all as is.

My List So Far

Because my mind was trained to think,

I tend to write my needs in ink,

But when the grammar takes too long,

I twist my lists to rhyme in song.

And since my heart was trained to teach,

I like to find a path for each.

Below a path for poets, that have access to colors,

For those who count with number,

And those who note with words.

If you have the access, you can make one too,

But if you need to have yours made, I'll leave it here for you.

I've made a range of shade from 100 down to nought. 0

100 set to FFFFFF, 0 set to hex of knots. 000000

Each 10 between are shrined in grey, set at each ten cent. %

90 80 70 60 50 for tea Sir T twinsies tin

Tin as roof, with chimney 0ver it.

Cinders fall, turns to ash, white spread thin.

Set each 11 pixels to reflect pH colors,

For every litmus chemical that wiki has to serve.

Align along a ruler, with each pixel at a notch,

Then set the top at highest 0, and stretch

To mark the range it shows.

Store in folders, colored for the range of pain to us,

Red burns, Yellow fuels, Green is where we stand.

Blue pulls you beneath the waves,

Purple churns to sand.

Arrange each on the ruler, like the branches of a fir,

Reveal the ones beyond the ones that burned the ones before.

Burned or drowned, bummed or clowned, mortar, pestle, grain.

Are you whole or are you ground? Check pulse, eyes, and brain.

If all are still or white or blank, only hope remains.

Is hope a leaf or powder? Flesh, or skin, or juice?

A root beneath, a limb above, some bark that's fallen loose?

Check before you wreck, whether yourself or the cure,

If you do your own research, then you'd better be quite sure.

Okay, my brain refuses to think about anything other than Murderbot, so I looked at every use of the word "friend[s]" in TMBD and... created some pie charts. Normal human activities.

Some Thoughts™ I had while putting this together (under the cut):

In All Systems Red, Murderbot notes that the PresAux crew are all close friends (twice! and goes on to explain their internal relationships which I think is very cute). This is pretty much the only use of 'friends' in ASR, except for when Murderbot says that SecUnits can't be friends with each other.

It seems that this may be one of the first times Murderbot has ever really been around a group of friends before? Murderbot notes that this is not the norm for its contracts and admits that the fact that they are all friends and the way they interact with each other make it actually enjoy that contract (before!!!! the hostile attack, so it already enjoys this contract before they start seeing it as a person etc ghghhhh). [Inference: Friendship seems enjoyable.]

The first character that calls Murderbot its friend is ART in Artificial Condition. Murderbot immediately refutes this (and then goes on to call ART its friend to its clients for the rest of the book). [Inference: Maybe ART is Murderbot's friend. And maybe that is... agreeable]

Rogue Protocol has more than twice as many instances of the word 'friend' as any of the other novellas. Why? Miki. Friendship and its implications for non-humans are a central theme because Miki is friends with everyone. Murderbot initially scoffs at the notion that Miki and Miki's humans are friends. At the end of the book, after witnessing how desperately Don Abene tried to stop Miki from trying to save them, and her grief after its death, Murderbot has to admit that she had in fact been Miki's friend. [Inference: Humans can be friends with bots and can sincerely care about them]

In Exit Strategy, Murderbot tentatively uses the word "friends" for its humans for the first time (several times actually). It questions whether it can actually call them its friends or not and later realizes that it had been afraid what admitting that the humans are its friends would do to it. At the end of the book, Mensah tells Murderbot the PresAux crew are its friends, which is the first time a human has directly said that to it (at least on-page). [Inference: Humans can and want to be Murderbot's friends]

In Network Effect, Murderbot seems to be more habituated to the word 'friend', confidently calling ART and Ratthi its friends, like it is no longer just trying the concept on unsure if it fits. There are many instances in which other characters refer to MB as ART's friend or the other way around and Murderbot's humans refer to Murderbot as their friend several times. Generally, there seems to be less hesitancy, because yes, all of them are Murderbot's friends, why wouldn't they be. [Inference: SecUnits can have friends. This SecUnit has friends. They care about it a lot.]

Conclusion: The Murderbot Diaries tell the story of a construct that does not seem to consider the possibility of friendship for itself and is fine with that - until it accidentally starts caring a little too much and suddenly more and more people annex it as a friend (ew) to the point where it can no longer deny that this is happening and has to begrudgingly admit that yes, it has friends now and maybe that is actually not a bad thing.

100 days of art, 65/100.

I think I've officially run out of art fucks to give. I see this as a positive tbh.

Also, I am currently being so normal about Mass Effect

Finally created a spreadsheet of all the art ideas I have (fan art and personal) and I don't know why I never did this earlier. I love making the art creation process easier and actually remembering what I want to draw <3 I can't believe being organized has actually helped me.
