#transition decisions

[uncanny-tranny]

Your fears that you don't have a body that will transition "well" are, sure, understandable, but there isn't truly such thing as a body that's unworthy of transition. Perhaps your changing body won't suit everybody's taste, but would you rather live for yourself or for the whims of random people who don't care about your happiness as long as they're attracted to what they see?

Transition is for anybody who wants it. It's okay to be fearful. It's okay to be uncertain. But it isn't the end of the world. You are in control, and if you choose to transition to any capacity, it should be at your behest. You and your body are worthy of transition. I hope you are able to seize transition and do what you truly want for yourself.

ok I don't know who needs to see this, but there is no way to know if you are "truly" trans. There is no "yes/no" switch. You decide whether or not to transition. you decide the version of yourself you present to the world, you experiment with your identity, you find yourself through exploration. It's a process, and it isn't one with a clear answer

link click yingdu ep 1 is truly the gift that keeps on giving the more you think about it the more layers you unlock. at first i thought the 'video call with phone in shirt pocket' trick is a pretty effective way of replicating their dives with like.. normal human technology without their powers and then i realised that's probably because lu guang specifically thought 'this is a situation that would call for a dive except cheng xiaoshi doesn't know about the whole time travel powers thing yet, what would be a good and reasonable approximation of that that i can spring on him rn'. also, we know this is not the first time he's experiencing this day because he was checking the clock before he proposed the whole video call phone camera thing, implying that he had the 'script' for this day just like he did with the anime convention, but even then he could only warn cheng xiaoshi about the guy behind him with the bat right before he was about to get hit - probably because cheng xiaoshi kept 'doing unnecessary actions' and messing up the timeline/lu guang's 'script' and forcing him to improvise. once again, lu guang's trying to protect cheng xiaoshi while also hiding information from him and cheng xiaoshi's failing to follow lu guang's instructions and putting himself in danger because of his own kindness and impulsivity - their entire dynamic moving forwards, captured in their first (arguably more like.. the 0th) 'job' together.

gun turning the background dark red with blood is such a cool detail !

I’m glad Joanna Newsom isn’t on Spotify because The Milk Eyed Mender is so powerfully and painfully evocative of a very bittersweet time in my life that I have to treat it as a rare and expensive bottle of wine that requires a half day’s journey by foot to the wine cellar of an eccentric old man who will allow me to drink the wine, but I may only do so if I sit crosslegged on the earthen floor of his in-ground wine cellar, which he dug by hand, and he closes the wooden hatch over my head and latches it from the outside so I can give the wine and its intricate symphony of notes the proper attention it requires, alone in the dark, and dank, and scent and quiet, and he comes back in a few hours to let me out and hand me a soft cotton handkerchief embroidered by his late wife (he has been a widow for 15x the length of time he was ever married) so I can clean the tears and loam from my cheeks. Aka I have to let it play from the YouTube browser website from my phone and can’t do anything else throughout.

One of my favourite things about episode 6 of season 3 is that it almost has a complete-movie feel about it. To me, it makes sense that it was released seperate to the first five episodes of the season, because its structure is so unique, and it screams finale with the same weight that a pilot episode tells you what a show is about. It's like a "Picture Perfect Movie", while underneath there is so much heartache and things are anything but perfect. It's not perfect because our Wilmon seem like they'll never be together, and it's not perfect because we're having to say goodbye to the show and none of us want to go.

The episode starts with Wille saying that he has to fix his own problems. He knows this and has had insights about it since he read the book Kris. Kris incapsulates the dilemma that Wille has always had. When he looks at the book twice this episode, he is remembering all that he and Simon learned from the book that applies to them. As Wille says, he understands Simon. He DOES know why they've broken up. Throughout the episode we see that Wille understands what he wants to do, but he is trying to figure out how to do that and to reconcile with what is still standing in his way, in his mind.

Simon similarly is recalling their conversation around the book Kris. He understands Wille's dilemma, he always has. I've heard the audience talk about how Simon doesn't understand the pressures Wille is under. I disagree. He always has, from the very beginning, and in a very unique and often subtle way. From the start, he knows to keep his relationship with Wille hidden when he tells Sara - he has to hide it for his sake. Wille never asks him to do that, he just knows to keep it secret. He accepts Wille's terms, but he doesn't like it. He understands as a queer person that Wille has some work to do to work out what he wants so that he is not going backwards and forwards all the time. He tells him to take his time doing that. Simon, not wanting to be a secret personally, is separate from what Wille's own needs are. Whether their needs align at all in the future is something that Simon respects. But it has to be done for their own sake for it to be genuine. It's a realisation one can only come to on their own. Simon never asks Wille to come out for them to be together.

Simon realises that Wille is inspired by his feelings for him to make changes. So when he stops wanting to make those changes in season three, Simon is disappointed, but he understands. He is still going through his process. He can't just throw everything he's learned from the monarchy out the window. He questions him about why he loves the monarchy when it makes him feel so bad. Simon knows about Wille's pressures just by observing him.

In this last episode, he has broken up with Wille, but he is still there for him. He is still helping Wille through his process. He let's him tell him all he needs to at the lake. He is insistent to him that they have not broken up because of Wille but because of his circumstances. Then his song is a full-on reminder to help Wille remember all his previous convictions about what is fake, how he can be free, and what his true feelings are. What he deserves to have: to be listened to and to be allowed to grieve and be his full self. Once again, Simon is telling Wille that he should be free for his own sake. Not for Simon. Simon understands and validates Wille's needs. His final goodbye and distancing himself from the monarchy is for his own sake. Again, not wanting to be in a secret relationship and not wanting to be in a relationship with the monarchy, are his own decisions (having tried it out), for his own sake.

Neither of these things are ultimatums. In relationships, compromises are made through trial and error, and Wilmon demonstrate real life relationships so well. Their mature decisions in this final episode are full of self-love and selflessness. Neither one wants to put pressure on the other that could lead to future resentment. Also, their decisions are based on what could make them most content even if they were to go their separate ways again.

The miscommunications in this season were surface level. They both understood each other when they had time to reflect and remember. Their relationship has always been the business of the outside world once that sex tape was released. When they were able to let go of those influences on them, literally and in their own minds, they were finally able to be together freely. They no longer had to mask their true feelings for fear of hurting the other person. Their hidden feelings being: Wille's guilt for what Simon is going through to be his boyfriend and Simon's depression brought on by public bombardment for daring to be Wille's boyfriend.

me: [chilling in bed, being normal]

my brain: Henry “I know what it’s like to be different, to be alone in this world. Like you, I didn’t fit in with the other children. Something was wrong with me. All the teachers and doctors said I was…‘broken’” Creel. Y’know, Henry “All while imposing a structure of their own…a deeply unnatural structure. Where others saw order, I saw a straitjacket” Creel? Henry “I could not pretend…And I realized I didn’t have to” Creel??

He would support trans rights.

fob @ fanfest recap, post-my living vicariously through people's live updates since i cannot get over my last minute resentful decision of not being able to pull off the (admittedly 650+ total mile) drive 2 philly today and perhaps feeling devastated over having missed

- pete making a warped comparison (!?! could it get more wavernot4love coded than this)

- joe chant that he successfully heard :]

- i don't care debut of late (finally!!)

- pete being self aware about the tennis new york incident (calling fobbies "monsters" in a vaguely affectionate way... HELP)

- honestly such an expansive setlist for an event like this?? FIFTEEN SONGS!? sixteen candles? fake out? grand theft autumn? headfirst slide? HELLO

- pete doing his saturday thing??? i honestly didn't think that was a thing they did @ these sports event kinda things w shorter sets
