i’ve read The House That Jack Built over 3 years ago now and this quote still hunts me to this day - this is what Jack Harkness is about, no more, no less, this is him

I like canceled plans. And empty book stores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quite coffee shops. I like messy beds and overworn pajamas. Most of all, I like small joys that a simple life brings.

'I flirted with the idea that instead of being trans that I was just a cross-dresser (a quirk, I thought, that could be quietly folded into an otherwise average life) and that my dysphoria was sexual in nature, and sexual only. And if my feelings were only sexual, then, I wondered, perhaps I wasn’t actually trans.
I had read about a book called The Man Who Would Be Queen, by a Northwestern University professor who believed that transwomen who were attracted to women were really confused fetishists, they wanted to be women to satisfy an autogynephilia. And though I first read about this book in the context of its debunkment and disparagement, I thought about the electricity of slipping on those tights, zipping up those boots, and a stream of guilt followed. Maybe this professor was right, and maybe I was only a fetishist. Not trans, just a misguided boy.
About a year later, on the Internet, I come across a transwoman who added a unique message to the crowd refuting this professor. Oh, I wish I remember who this woman was, and I wish even more that I could do better than paraphrase her, but I remember her saying something like this: “Well, of course I feel sexy putting on women’s clothing and having a woman’s body. If you feel comfortable in your body for the first time, won’t that probably mean it’ll be the first time you feel comfortable, too, with delighting in your body as a sexual thing?”'
-Casey Plett, Consciousness
#this quote always moves me almost to tears when i remember it#i'm not a trans woman and i don't share the author's specific experiences with transition#but it really moves me that she frame transition as joyfully giving yourself permission to approach your body#not as something that has to be disciplined and deprived and made small in all these various ways#but as a means for experiencing pleasure and joy and delight and for insisting that our feelings and desires are worth#valuing and exploring and treasuring#i always used to think of prioritizing those things for myself as selfish and irresponsible#but who does it harm to want to experience pleasure in your own body?#it's such a beautifully simple and powerful switch to have flip in your head#and equally why are we forced to deny our own pleasure in transition and anything else related to our bodies in the name of moral rectitude#this is why i get so confused and pissed off when other trans people are fatphobic for example#like why are you so invested in politics of shame and disgust that never had any purpose other than#violently disciplining people as if they've violated moral codes by existing in a body#to say nothing of white people being racist in gay and trans communities#like again this system of violence is foundational to homophobia and transphobia#so why are you acting like it has nothing to do with you#even if you are unmoved by the urgency of other people's suffering which btw you should be moved by#what do you hope to gain by acting a collaborator and handmaiden to those systems#Casey Plett#she really is one of my favorite authors i wish more non-canadians read her#this quote is from a series of columns she did ont transition and every single one is a banger#i love when she talks about the people-pleasing elements of dysphoria and transition denial#she's so sharp about noting how many of us deny our own dysphoria on the grounds that others like and validate our bodies#that's how i always felt during my cis conventionally feminine era#it pleased other people so much and also that reception felt so hollow and joyless to me because i hated it#i get less of that positive feedback but that feels so unimportant next to the joy and pleasure i get to experience#said with the understanding that i'm very privileged in being able to prioritize those things without fear. but it was a switch flip#personal nonsense

“Art is a form of perception” 🥀 (A random sketch)
Tell me, what do you see ? Some see just a drawing of dots and lines.
At first glance a heart. Dancing freely spreading its love , sprouting leaves & nurturing through the blossoming of its flowers.
Or possibly even a hummingbird feeding from a flower nourishing it’s body bringing a sense of calmness & peace. Love

Sad ED Quotes
❝ Anorexia really is this cold calm kind of emptiness. Everyday just feels like a walk without a destination. You look at things without seeing them. Nothing really exists anymore. ❞
❝ I used to daydream about eating dinner without wanting to kill myself. ❞
❝ We turn skeletons into goddesses and look to them as if they might teach us how not to need. ❞
❝ When they warn me about anorexia, they always talk about "the little things". Weak nails, brittle hair, aching bones, tired legs, purple bags.. Yet, I don't seem to be "a little thing.” ❞
❝ I saw this quote once that was like, “I once read that you can't change the world on an empty stomach,” but maybe I don’t want to change the world anymore. ❞
❝ I don't know who I am without this illness. ❞
❝ I was pretty back then. Maybe, way back then. Before I began. ❞
❝ You are the fear, and people are afraid of you and for you, when your thin limbs grope in the air. But you are not what you see while looking at yourself, because that's illusion and lies. ❞
❝ All I’ve taught you is how to die. ❞
❝ How could you possibly describe the feeling of being dysphoric, dysmorphic. Because all I want is for these silver linings to carve away the flesh till I can see every bone. ❞
❝ In the mind of a person with anorexia nervosa, we need to be skinnier to fit through the hole that leads us out. Whether we know what's outside or not… ❞
❝ I haven’t left my bed or opened the shades for several days. My stomach hurts. This was a mistake. What a place to be made; what a place to know that space will always haunt me. I want to take up none of it. I want to contort and contract until I can fit inside your fist; so break my wrists. I am sick, I say. I am sick. But today i thought i saw a glimpse of light. But tonight it’ll be dark and I will hide and I will cry and I will strip away the pieces of me that I don’t want to be. The evidence will reside on my thighs. I hate these thighs. I hate my mind. I wish these legs weren’t mine. ❞

Do you have a home? Not the place you live in or stay at but the place where you go to?
For an artist, it's their studio. For a shopkeeper, their shop and so on. The safe haven. The happy place. The place where you are the best and truest version of your self. The place where you belong, nurture and create.
I wish to have a place that's mine. Where I create art, make jewelry, read, keep my crystals and my books and my dozen plants. My most valued possessions are there. It's all mine.
People may come and maybe buy something that resonates with them. Stay for bit and chat, share a piece of information that might reveal a bit about themselves.

also hate that the game potrays ishgardians pathologically denying what they're being told is somehow irredeemable.
my guys they're literally in the middle of a civil war, everyone's terrified for their lives bc the horde is still very much a threat, and the vault (which is the biggest social structure around) has peaced the fuck out by now. have some empathy, they're latching onto the one thing from their perspective they think is true.

gotta ask the follow up question...
What tattoo do you want to get the most?
Nooooo I want so many though 😤😤
#that’s probably the hardest part#idk what one I would want to get first#there’s this place by me and they do this sale sometimes#where they do a bunch of different tattoos#and then it’s super cheap and you go in and point to which one you want#i don’t remember the rules or anything so don’t ask me much about it#but I’ve always thought about getting a small simple one from that just to start with#since I have no clue what to expect#I used to have a whole tattoo idea notebook#I would draw ideas#I’ve always wanted to get a matching tattoo with my sister#I had a few quotes that I thought of#but I think I would really want to do some word or phrase in Greek#also have always wanted to do some sort of wings#Idk if I would ever do it but I think it would be stunning to do a huge back piece with beautiful big angel wings#also want a crown somewhere but I feel like that’s obvious 😂😂😂#growing up my dream was to do a full sleeve#but idk what it would be of#also have wayyyyyy too many quotes I want to do#but my memory is shit so I don’t remember them all by heart#I just love quotes and I think it would be nice to have a reminder of a good hopeful quote#especially when times are hard#I can look at my tattoo and read it and just breathe and calm down a bit#definitely didn’t answer your question I’m sorryyyyy#it’s been awhile since I’ve seriously thought about getting a tattoo#I need to focus on other things so I don’t think I’ll have money for a tattoo any time in the near future#once I move out of my current place then maybe I can think more seriously into tattoos#until then I need to get a new tattoo idea journal and start doodling in there when I get bored!#thanks for the question sweetie 💖#ask
