Maul me, rip me apart
Tear at my chest and tear at my legs
Wolves consume me, take me to hell
I'll bow and I'll come back
Over and over
Maul me, reshape me
Mould me as I please
Reformed and reborn
Hell's boy

werewolf who shattered all the mirrors in her house because she hates seeing herself - not as a beast, but as a human. her shifts are uncontrollable, never coming often enough or lasting long enough to make her happy, only to give her a tiny flash of what she could be but isn’t
werewolf who doesn’t have a pack anymore. she doesn’t look enough like a wolf and she hates being human too much to comfortably hang out with either group. you’re the only person she lets get close to her - everyone else calls her a monster, and she’s fine with that word and actually enjoys it sometimes but hates the way they say it when they’re talking about her. but she has you and you count for something even if you aren’t a pack or a human friend group
she holds you close at night when you sleep over, which you do more and more recently because you’re worried about her, and sniffles softly when she thinks you’re asleep. when the salty tears wake you by landing on your skin, you both know what’s going on but she hates to feel like she needs to be taken care of, so she just makes a joke about being a big slobbery mutt who can’t help herself but drool on you
but her smile never reaches her eyes
#really went back and forth about posting this one#this is as close to straight up venting as i think this blog is ever gonna get#im a wee amount dysphoric at the moment and the trans werewolf metaphor makes that easier to express#werewolf

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR SQQ HE LOOKS SO FUCKINH DONE WITH LIFE
The recipe for SQQ is: calm on the outside, screaming on the inside.
#poorly drawn svsss#svsss#shen qingqiu#ask#No joke I'm pretty sure he is my favourite 'guy gets transporte'd to another world' character#I recently rewatched the (sadly never to be continued) animated version of SVSSS and I cant get over how perfect he is for the role#He is *so* done with everything going on around him. Forced to be calm and mean. Born to scream and be kind.#The gap between the internal and external dialogue is one of my fav character/writing quirks.#The personification of the 'he lied' dialogue tag.#Love how deep the SVSSS meta and literary analysis community gets with him. Piosplayhouse has opened my eyes to trans SQQ#what is the system is *not* a metaphor for pressure to adhere to societal norms of gender and sexuality?#I really need to finish the books...that is probably my biggest burning hole in my 'DNF' pile. I liked it! I just got busy.

As per my recent post! I love the idea of being somebody’s guard dog. I’ll stand loyally at your side protecting you. I’ll be there looking scary and intimidating, staring anybody down to tries to mess with you. People might see us and think I’m the one in charge, but in reality you’re the one holding my leash and pulling the strings. I’ll do anything you say. Behind closed doors, I’m nothing but a pathetic whimpering mess for you

I just read about how a female amazon water lily eventually becomes male and turns all purple and pretty. what if. what if I told you I was an amazon water lily
#come on#hear me out#the lily starts off all white and plain#not to mention it can’t produce pollen#and then the flower attracts a beetle#it turns into a pinkish purple color#and it becomes male#it’s like it proves that being trans exists in nature#and it proves that trans people are visibly happier once they can finally be themselves#amazon water lily is a metaphor for being trans#transgender#transmasc#transmasculine#lgbt#lgbtq#2slgbtqia+#lgbtqia#trans pride#trans rights#queer

All I want is to go to a trans person's funeral after they lived a full, enriching life. I want to see trans people grow old, I want us to live like the stars. We don't deserve to burn out before everybody else. When we die, I want it to be because we grew old, because we had lived.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#death tw#i never want to see another funeral for a trans person whose presence was too bright for this world - who burnt out or *was* burnt out#i understand that this is kind of a pipe dream but i don't care. i love us.#we can make the world better. we can make it better so that we may shine#a star can live for 10 billion years and i'm confident that we will be that immortal#obviously not in the physical sense but in the metaphorical and spiritual sense 👍

what I can't stop thinking about with Nimona is... the cannon. the cannon made to protect the citizens from monsters. the cannon the director aims AT the very citizens it's meant to protect. the cannon the director orders fired anyway, "to protect our way of life," even when it's clear to everyone that the threat no longer exists... because somehow this way of life (built on a lie! the monster never destroyed a town! the people did that themselves, and fearmongering did the rest!) is more important than the lives of the people she's supposed to uphold. what a metaphor

anyway. data startrek is trans coded because he's constantly being dehumanised and misgendered (called 'it') and told he can't possibly understand things that are supposedly inherent to the human (cis) condition and asked invasive questions about the way he works by complete strangers and talked about like he isn't standing right there and legally does not qualify as a person and is told even by his friends and coworkers and allies that no offence, data, you're a machine. he's also just transgender in general but that's not my point here
#im watching tng and having Emotions about Him#non human characters as a metaphor for being queer/nd is definitely not always a good thing. but data is just very trans to me#star trek#star trek tng#star trek the next generation#st:tng#st tng#data soong#data star trek#data tng#textposts#arcades cutscenes

I hope we never learn what Crowley's name was before he fell. It seems so intentional that it was left out, and I love that choice. Because that's not his name. That's just the name God gave him. He chose the name Crowley. And that name represents who he is now. He's not that angel anymore. He's changed. You might even say he's transitioned to a different part of his existence.
#Good Omens#Good Omens 2#Good Omens spoilers#Anthony J. Crowley#the trans metaphor is SO FUCKING STRONG here#so I don't want to know Crowley's deadname

characters who begin again in completely new worlds… or characters with memory loss being given another shot at life… and then using that desperately trying to make amends for the person they are told they used to be,, or who reinvent themselves into a new person to the betterment or detriment of themselves.. but the shadow of the old self always lingers >>>>>>>

If you really think about it, Tiresias suffered the most out of any other character from Epic: the musical/the Odyssey
First he was forced to live as a woman for 7 years, during which he married and had children. The reason for being forcefemmed? He saw two copulating snakes and struck them, thus pissing off Hera who turned him into a woman as punishment.
Of course, this isn't so bad. Still bad luck imo. Like imagine hitting two random snakes and boom! You're a woman.
Next, he got blinded by Athena because he saw her bathing. Athena, the virgin goddess, naturally didn't like this and took away his sight. Feeling bad for cursing him, she gave him the gift of prophecy.
Another myth, however, tells a differeny story. According to it, Tiresias was called by Zeus and Hera, who were in the middle of an argument. They were trying to decide who felt more pleasure during sex: the man (Hera's claim) or the woman (Zeus's claim).
Since Tiresias had lived as both, they decided to ask him to settle the debate. Tiresias answered the woman and that, of course, made Hera mad so she blinded him. Zeus could do nothing but compensate by giving him the gift of prophecy.
He died from being impaled by Apollo's arrow. As if that wasn't enough, he couldn't catch a break even after death. Our favourite captain just had to come and pester him for more prophecies (which he didn't even follow btw so thanks for making this dead man do extra work for nothing, you royal dipshit).
#justice 4 tiresias#man can't catch a break#the unluckiest character fr#hera really hates him it seems#it's always her causing him problems#the gods keep using this man like a stressball#i know that tiresias living as woman is probably a metaphor for trans/enby identity btw#like they had to explain it somehow#and trans people were mostly explained by divine intervention#but still#i think it's funny in a sad way to take the myths literally#epic the musical#epic#the odyssey#jorge rivera herrans#epic tiresias#tiresias#greek mythology#greek myths#greek gods#epic the underworld saga#no longer you#zeus#hera#athena#odysseus#apollo
