#this has been rattling around in my brain for a while

pretty sure this is what happened

the thing about men is like they literally dont consider themselves human and people feed i lnto it like thats why you see such a focus on a "male loneliness epidemic" or "male depression at an all time high"

*overall* mental illness and depresion are at an all time high *overall* the pandemic has had lasting effects and continues to affect people's lives, mentally, physically etc. youre not special because youre a man. youre not untouchable because youre a man. youre human like everyone else, shocker.

this stems from an idea these things couldnt possibly affect men. emotional pain and loneliness. lets stop feeding this toxic masculinity cycle.

Writing fanfic is so dangerous bc whenever I see the name ‘Seth Gordon’ now, my brain just goes “SETH!! My man!!! My dude!!! Allison and Renee’s platonic husband!!!!” And then I have to take a moment of silence as I remember that oh. Oh, in canon, he is first an asshole and then dead

*Post-hiatus interview after they’ve had a break from the band and had some therapy and have kind of rebranded into this like doubly iconic The Ark (if such a thing is even possible) and they talk about their newest and first post-hiatus album and the journey they’ve taken as a band to get there

Villainous dub dropped recently, so it’s time to finally unleash this little bastard upon you dudes.

The Black Hat Organization’s mechanic and weapons expert: Rook Wilde! A sly, wise-cracking, yet deeply unhinged chaotic bastard with a love for large,VERY destructive weaponry. Turned half-raccoon due to genetic experiments in his childhood, he is a former hero sidekick turned mercenary mechanic somehow working for The Black Hat Organisation.

Anyways, here’s the little shit. I’ll probably be drawing him more when this semester clears up. (And If you’re curious, feel free to send an ask about something if you wanna. Idk) I hope you like the dude!

Black: a piece of life advice?

Be nice to yourself!! It's so so difficult to do and its something I struggle with a lot. But I've been trying to do it more often and ngl, it's made a huge difference already. And that doesn't mean don't hold yourself accountable for your actions or anything, but the gut reaction of saying something mean and talking down to yourself and an inner dialogue of shame only makes things harder.

This thought only really started to take form a few days ago when I read through the entirety of my journal entries from 2013 to 2022. And I was so mean to myself! So mean!!! And for years it was similar things of like "wtf is wrong with me, why can't I study? Why am I so anxious? Etcetc." And then I saw a photo of me from 2013 and I was like damn. That's a child. So when I find myself repeating the same dialogue of "what is wrong with you," and "why can't you fucking get anything done?" etc. I just see the face of an actual kid and I'm like SHIT that's so mean!!

Like I've been mean to myself for so long and it's gotten me nowhere so this made me really think that this is clearly not working. It's not a good system yet I've been doing this for years. I'll try being nice to myself for a day and see what happens. And well. A lot apparently!!

sometimes the dude-hate of queer spaces really gets me down. i think it's really great that there are places where cis dudes are not the center of the universe and i think those should be protected, but it does get exhausting to feel like I have to hide or minimize who i am because 'men' are gross/stupid/irrelevant.

i don't fully think of myself as a 'man' because what is all that bullshit anyway, but i'm definitely a guy with facial hair who wears boring old navy jeans and sweaters most of the time. but it does suck to feel like i have to say 'transmasc' instead of 'trans man' because ew, who'd want to be a MAN – as if this was ever about what i want as opposed to who i just am.

It is also kind of poignant to me how much that attitude has in common with terfs, who also insisted that my femininity was more worth preserving than my sanity. that womanhood is expansive and perfect and divine and manhood is icky and ugly and undesirable. Ultimately, if you think that any particular gender is inherently *anything*, i'm not sure you got the point of trying to tear down gender roles and all that.
