I'm just laughing at the difference between my Ruggie Birthday Jacket card pulls and my Masquerade Malleus card pulls. I started with roughly 140-ish pulls, but I had to go all the way to 200 pity for Malleus. I finished all the twistune missions and kept doing them for achivements, I was basically running twistunes all day long, I leveled up a bunch of R and Sr cards, at one point I accidentally wasted a ten pull on Jade's jacket banner and almost screamed. By the time I got the last pull I was so mad that I smacked the screen when he showed up. Then Ruggie, I save for months to make sure this won't happen again, and first try there he is 💃 I've since forgiven Malleus but it's very funny to me how different these two went🤸‍♀️ I expect my Silver birthday pulls to be hell

Its not a shock to me that most "transandrophobia doesn't exist" people are trans women, mostly white trans women. They have a very specific image of what a trans man looks like and it's only two categories: the hyper fem, tits out, make up, twink trans man who doesn't pass nor try to and the hyper masculine, bearded, t'd up, all the surgeries, big buff trans man who you could never clock. They genuinely think every "transandrophobia truther" is lieing about not getting privileges they don't fucking have.

They genuinely believe every trans man passes and therefore we get male privilege and they get backed up by trans men who do pass and think a cis man making rape jokes with them and asking about their lift set is male privilege. Lemme shatter the illusion because as much as you like to scream about some wide spread privilege that doesn't exist, most trans people, in general, do not pass. This is especially true for trans men due to the hyperfocus society puts on feminine features. I have never met a fully passing trans man and I've met over a hundred personally irl. never. I know they exist but the fact y'all think we, en masse, get male privilege is factually just fucking wrong.

Trans men are not more acceptable or palatable to transphobes. Trans men are not more likely to pass. Trans men in mass do not get male privilege by virtue of our lack of passing and our medical history. Most trans men are still affected by the gender pay gap and thus can not afford surgeries.

You do not acknowledge the existence of non-passing trans men, only uphold the voices of trans men who pass and have the money for surgeries (a small percentage) then wonder why trans men laugh in your face when you make claims about male privilege we do not experience.

We are more likely to be conversionally raped than you. We are more like to be forcibly detransioned than you. We are more likely to experience domestic violence than you. We are more likely to experience hate crimes than you.

Trans men's hyper visibility in online spaces dose not transfer to real life visibility. You are more likely to see white cis gay men and white trans women in any media or ever mentioned than even white cis lesbians or white trans men. Your rhetoric is the origin of the "theyfab" myth. Our issues are invisible to you cause you do not care about other trans people besides yourself and other transfems. Everyone and their trans mother knows about transmysogny and the issues you personally face yet you expect trans men to be silent about their issues and feel like they should be silent because they are men. Trans men are more likely to experience litterally all forms of violence over trans women in every single avenue of violence that exists; religious, sexual, domestic, familial, etc. We are more likely to be stopped and abused before we socially transtion than anyone else due to hyper vigilance of society over afabs. You can scream all you'd like about how we only bring up our sex/the gender we are often raised as when it's convenient but you always ignore those often traumatizing experiences when it's convenient for you.

Many Transmascs and trans men had a traumatizing upbringing because society views us as "bad women" and " bad women" get treated so much worse and by many more angles than "bad men" specifically because we were forcibly assigned as women. You take advantage of a lack of nuance in the community by trying to group us with cis men specifically because you group yourself with cis women. News flash, neither of us and our experiences should be grouped with ANY cis group because we do not have cisgendered experiences.

I seriously think you think you are the most oppressed group in the trans community and you are not, not by a long shot. You are not the most oppressed group in the transgender community and that's a statistical fact. The most oppressed group, by far, are two spirits and cultural genders by virtue of them being inherently indigenous and indigenous people being the most oppressed race of people in the community regardless of the location they are indigenous to.

You are literally taking advantage of the things that were drilled into transmascs at a young age to be seen and not heard and to be quiet and let others talk, that they are lesser than everyone. Everyday there's a new story in the community of a cis man or a trans woman getting a trans man/masc pregnant to hurt them or force them off t or to detransion, this is not a fucking accident. You are not men, no one ever said you were, but you sure love to silence them like they do.

I'm not quiet, you do not intimately know our issues the same way we do not intimately know yours, You don't get to tell us what we do and don't experience and the fact you'd rather cry wolf and suspiciously call us "bitches" than hear us out, tells me everything i need to know. That alt right to trans woman pipeline you said you escaped? Yeah, you didn't. Ur just an alt right trans woman, Try Again.

God, this is fucking crazy

So i only have 3 more classes to take, but it'll cost the same to take 3 classes as 4 classes. So I've been thinking about taking a 4th class just for the hell of it. Something fun and/or easy.

Out of curiosity, I looked up orchestras. I was in it in my first year, but I haven't consistently played since 2016. But I still dream about being in an orchestra again. I *miss it*. So I was like. Well, what if *that* was my 4th class next semester? What If?

I looked it up. This week is the last week they're doing auditions for it. There was only one more spot free after today. And that's *tomorrow evening*.

I haven't really played my violin much in YEARS. I'm so out of practice. But apparently they don't reject anyone outright. Auditions are just for placement. So worst case scenario, I get placed in an orchestra at a lower skill level than I was at my prime. It'd still be an orchestra.

It's crazy short notice, but I don't think I'd forgive myself if I passed it up. Bc I have just one more semester before I graduate. One last opportunity to be in a school orchestra. And if I didn't do this, I'd be left with that What If forever.

So. Crazy short notice, but I have a violin audition tomorrow!!! Hahahaha

[sonknuxadow]

sorry mild hater moment incoming but . idk what it is with s/onadow fans (not all of them. just a very loud subsection) specifically and making every little thing shadow does about s/onadow even if its the biggest reach imaginable and immediately going "omg s/onadow" every time hes confirmed to be in some upcoming thing . or being so obsessed with the ship and letting it warp their perceptions of things so much to the point where they act like every little thing is a hint from sega that theyre in love for real. and they cant admit that its not canon or that just because they choose to interpret certain things romantically doesnt mean that thats actually what sega/the writers intended even if theres an obvious non so/nadow explanation for it

before people take this the wrong way i dont hate the ship i dont think that its completely baseless or that everyone who likes it is wrong and annoying or anything . but some of you look like this if im being honest

Haven't watched the big picture show yet but I think eddys bro is the kid that eddys parents totally fucked up on, and by the time eddy rolled around they were like "Yeah maybe we shouldn't beat the shit out of our kids" but by then it was too late cuz eddys bro was already doing it for them

Been reading some… interesting takes on how people feel about romance in television, and I thought I was going to like this Popsugar article in defense of shipping but then got to this paragraph—

Okay, going one-by-one here, Abbott Elementary, that’s true, I don’t watch Bridgerton but I know it’s romance heavy, Succession is anti-romance? Even though a major plot line in that show had to do with the failing marriage of Tom and Shiv? And they also had a romance plot for Kendall in seasons 2 and 3? And what about Conwilla? Romangerri?

Well. Okay, I guess if you mean the show lacks longterm, sustainable, healthy romance that could be argued, and I could maybe see the anti-romance angle.

Moving on. I don’t watch the Mandalorian. “‘The Last of Us’ is full of deep, non-romantic relationships, but fans will have to wait for season two for Ellie to get a love interest.”

Are the non-romantic relationships in the room right now?

And yeah the focus is on Ellie and Joel’s father-daughter bond, but people usually tend to gloss over these episodes…

Do not even make me laugh about Game of Thrones. The main plot of the show happened because a woman had sex with her brother. The reason that the Red Wedding, that very famous event, even happened was because Robb got married to someone he wasn’t supposed to and it had major consequences on the plot. Sure the show is also about politics and war, but I would argue that romance is still a significant plot thread.

Hey just a Heads Up. a lot of the bots who've managed to not get caught are moving on from the 'following a bunch of accounts to legitimize their own in the eyes of web scrubbers' to 'posting their porn links on their own accounts and reblogging between each other to legitimize the scammy porn sites and avoid the links being reported and blacklisted until after the scrubbers have deemed the sites legit but low priority for search results'

The next step is basically always 'post porn links directly on real users posts in the comments or reblogs to make their now legitimatized sites rise up in the search engines and potentially phish a few suckers they reblog from'

They're liking posts instead of following now and I'm unsure if that's their way of finding posts to add to or if just having a post visible in their likes gives them enough Real Person Points to be worth doing that instead of following and getting insta blocked and reported.

which, hey, if you're the sort of person to only like posts and have little or no content on your blog, now would be a good time to reblog some shit or start making posts to prove you're human because now the bot busting strategy is going to involve a lot of blocking and reporting people who only like things because your account is identical to a bots.

god its 2023 can people please stop being fucking weird about interracial relationships. so much of it is like either fetishization of ppl in them or its like,,,, dude it sounds like good old racism just it seems ppl have found more socially acceptable and progressive ways to say it. ppl will rly see intraracial relationships which rly seem just like nice, loving, caring and respectful! and not weird and just two ppl vibing and start saying wack shit like ohh youre diluting the blood youre betraying your own kind youre this and that like......... ... i dont care to me yall sound so much like were living in the fucking 50s - 70s and youre not saying it as a joke but seriously. weve gone fucking backwards in time and should probably remember having "pure blooded" kids or being "pure blooded" isnt something to be praised and as long as its consensual and loving having mixed kids or being in whatever relationship is just fine and if anything 💀 we should probably remember that genuine love between ppl who werent "allowed" to do so has historically in many different places been a sign of ppl actually not being racist and believing in the bullshit of the times
