Me: --OMG MY GENDER AWAKENING WAS PIDGE

heres how t4t timkon can still win.

#rimi talks #every single timkon ive ever written is t4t and always will be. wahoo #take my hand. genderfluid transmasc tim and genderqueer nb kon. do you hear me #baby tim is closeted transmasc. teen tim is like im BINARY im MAN ONLY and in stringent denial of any dysphoria--#--around having more femme or agender days bc hes like no im clearly a GUY.#adult tim is genderfluid transmasc and finally comfortable in his own skin #meanwhile kon is assigned male at cadmus and doesnt start thinking harder abt it until his resurrection #at which point he gets a lot more introspective bc hes like. i was made to die saving the world and i DID so why am i back???#whats my actual purpose then?? what AM i ????#and the ''what am i?'' question leads to the queer realizations esp in the wake of his breakup with cassie #and he just slowly figures out feelings abt gender via learning fibercrafts and cooking and ''girl stuff'' from ma #hes like. well calling it all girl stuff is stereotyping i can be a boy who likes to make lace and decorate pies!!!!!#and hes not wrong he CAN. but also hmmmm actually maybe what if hes not. a boy.#do you hear me do you see the vision. i have thoughts

Meg would switch between Apollo's pronouns every time they met

#i dont really assume that a god would have preferences on its own gender #like they did have a gender thst was sort of assigned by birth (and so are genitals) but #and yes #she is often portrayed in masculine form #but he also is portrayed wearing greek woman's clothing #and *is* the protector of young people (usually men)#I think that trans men also go under the category as again greeks didn't really care about the gender #thrans men ARE men #thank you very much for reading #meg would be like yeah this js my brother why does they have her nails done? why do you ask stupid questions? *gasp* are you jealous?#she would make sure thst these leople would be choked to death afterwards #Artemis would do the same #apollo #toa #meg mccaffrey #artemis #genderfluid apollo #sunflower siblings

i have recently been made aware that it’s not normal to feel discomfort and disgust when people use your given name? like that’s not what everyone who doesn’t like their name means when they say they don’t like their name?? hearing mine makes me cringe and sometimes even makes my skin crawl or my stomach drop and you’re telling me most people don’t experience this????

#if you noticed i took my name out of my bio that’s why #also exclusively using they/them pronouns online now #kinda want to try he/they and a new name i picked out but i am a coward #so ill see how i like they/them for now #is this the catalyst of my enby/trans awakening?#if i was more self aware i would have seen it sooner #tbf i did have a masculine nickname in high school that had no relation to my birth name except for beginning with the same letter #i didn’t come up with it myself but i did like it #and my sister has a different masculine/neutral nickname for me #and when my sister and i would play pretend I was always luke when she was leia #also i made half my barbies ftm trans ….. instead of just asking for boy barbies i transed them #I’ve always hated being called young lady or miss or a woman tbh #makes me feel strange. gives me the ick as the kids say #rambling in the tags #these tags are all over the place but im leaving them to document my thoughts lol #personal #trans #nonbinary #gender questioning #lgbtq+#names

Every time I see someone baffled at the almost-entirely female cast of Signalis, and yet never see any questioning of the common almost-entirely-male casts of other games, I’m just like

#Signalis #Signalis Game #It's so funny because I legit didn't notice at all first round through #It did occur to me afterward but like #It's just a bit irritating that if it were all dudes it probably wouldn't be nearly as much of a question #Maybe there IS worldbuilding reason behind it #But how people word it #THERE DOESN'T NEED TO BE A REASON #It just really grinds my gears man #If ANYTHING #My question is why the replikas have gender #But it's more of a pondering thing not something I'm gonna NEED AN ANSWER on

i feel like the makeup standards are not necessarily going to get Worse, just. stay the Same. "raised by sephora and ulta" christ alive yall act like this shit is new. as if this hasnt been the standard to blast young girls with makeup ads and shit via magazine and tv and imposed beauty standards anyway. the only real difference is like, idk, accessibility of tutorials for how to apply it well

#toy txt post #spoken as. a no makeup bitch #altho i have also been accused by a terf of wearing a pound if makeup for wearing. visible lipstick in a selfie. and that was It #the actual Beauty Standard has largely stayed the exact fucking same of like making your skin texture as fake as possible #that was the standard back then too but it was harder to achieve /know how to do it cos there werent tutorials the same way now #also yes sephora and ulta are evil and all that but like the same amount theyve always been.#yall really acting like these imposed beauty standards being exposed to children is like a new unique tiktom thing thats never happened #before. and yall blaming instagram are no fuckin better. this has been happening The Entire God Damn Time #also theres something rubbing me about the way this is getting talked about. 'she did all thos other arbitrary bullshit except this #One Thing! the discrimination against this one thing is awful!#and like. it is. but i feel like we could address that while also maybe stepping back a tiny bit further and questioning these arbitrary #standards of professionalism too while we're at it #why does she have to have a blazer either? why do the earrings have to be understated #why do the colors have ti be bland and boring? why does he hair have to be a natural color and gender conforming ?#etc etc etc #like if we're accepting all that other shit the ppl upset about this could acknowledge she might experience similar discrimination for say #very obvious goth or punk-y makeup or anything a little too far outside the bounds of the acceptable beauty standard #everyone is pissed about 'eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man' but theyd be saying nothing if she was discriminated for fuckin #big wings and black lipstick bc well thats Obviously not professional standard makeup. okay?#if we change how we look at professional standards of dress and makeup as a whole to include Fucking Freak Bitches #then it would be a lot easier to include No Makeup in there as welllllll #idk #im a no makeup bitch with blue hair whos only ever worked in warehouses so they didnt give too much of a shit about my lack of makeup #or blue hair as long as i didnt show up in like flip flops which is a Reasonable dress code bc its got an actual fucking reason #(safety so you dont lose your goddamn toes to a box or a grate or some shit) vs it makes the office corpo bros sad #anyway idk if you have the privilege to get away with it i think you should dress weirder in the office to get them used to weirder dress #maybe instead of Suddenly going No Makeup sort of slowly lessen the amount so its not a Sudden change or smth #again: if you have the privilege and job security to get away with it #also also also: easier to get away with if you were to say. mask. js. they cant get mad at schrodingers lack of lipstick

we were talking about nicknames and my mom, who often asks personal questions as casual smalltalk, goes "if you could have another name, what would it be!"

and I just went THAT'S KIND OF A LOADED QUESTION and stared at her in panicked awkward silence, because GOOD GOD MOTHER, don't just point blank ask your trans child this. yes I've thought about this NO I'M NOT ANSWERING THIS NOW

#it was kind of funny but also I was like /SWEATS 👁 👁#my parents know that I go by my initials in most contexts now #but. yknow. I have mused over What Else my initials could stand for #and I don't think my mom is prepared for me to blurt out a man's name as a ready-to-go premeditated answer #without the Casual Smalltalk Conversation growing new follow-up questions that we don't need to do right now #YOU KNOW ABOUT THE GENDER MOTHER WHY DID YOU THINK THIS WAS A CASUAL HYPOTHETICAL

i hated when i’d choose my seat in a uni class and then someone annoying would choose 2 sit near my seat like omg MOVEEEE

#in my last semester this guy sat next to me and we talked a few times and he seemed fine #tell me why when the prof was lecturing about gender he asks me how many genders i think exist🤨#and i already knew where he was going w that question (which he did end up answering himself)#i was like uhhh…. yeah im gonna have to choose a new row fo sit at. Thanks A Lot #allana rants

Shout out to the folks at work the other day that enabled/encouraged me to go on a lil infodump about being transgender and who had genuine questions and listened to my answers. Obviously it's not something queer folks should be expected to do but I love being a point of information for people! I love talking about my experiences and my understandings of philosophies that intersect with that and I think alot of cishet people are maybe uncomfortable asking blunt questions? But so long as they're posed in good faith and with willingness to think about the response, I enjoy answering those weirdly specific things. How else to we dispel the willful ignorance that places of power want to foster towards us? I refuse to he a scapegoat and am deeply grateful to the people that are receptive to experiences outside their own

#young 20 something mum and middle aged mother of 3 #both just. asking *questions*#what do hormones do? when/how did you know? why is it so important to you?#these ate genuine questions seeking to understand!! and it means so much to me that i can BE that point of understanding!#adfhsjsj they were talking about periods and the younger woman was like. sorry if this is uncomfortable Jason #and im like. lol dont even worry i still get then too and they suck #older woman was like??? i thought hormones stop them??? im not on hormones yet i just naturally have hormonal imbalance thanks to PCOS #its just...if someone genuinely doesnt understand but is willing to learn? its a conversation worth having.#and i cant know that i always have a positive effect but i ways come back to the vaguely right leaning centrist dude i worked with at mcds #who told me i had changed his view of masculinity and gender as a whole #just by talking and explaining ny experiences #even if he ends up being the only other person I affect..its all worth it.because without me or someone like me he would never have changed #sorry i just get emotional sometimes thinking abkut how...probably the majority of cishets who arent plugged into tumblr #do not experience queer people. hell #im sure there are alot of queer people who havent been exposed to queer theory either #and it means the world to me that i can present and explain that understanding. that willingness to understand.#fuck man if you had told me id be doing this in my early teens id never have thought it possible

How to explain to ppl that jokes are the foundations to a lot of bigotry... Like you let ppl you don't know start laughing at jokes poking fun at groups they aren't in and that's where they start to get comfortable with being bigoted and then using "it was just a joke" as a defense

#personal #saw a post about getting wrapped in fabric for calling someone who is nb a girl #op said it was just a joke post and they didn't want ppl being transphobic in the comments #but guess what was all up in the comments??? u guessed it! transphobia #ppl making up scenarios that never happened to justify being bigoted #and saying that it's okay to misgender someone consistently and not try to properly identify them if you think it's ok cause u use the terms #in a gender neutral way 🤪🤪 hee so quirky #like stfu....#i use girl and bruh in a gn way but if someone told me they didn't want to be referred that way I'd stop #it's called being respectful #this is also why it's so sketchy seeing those joke posts that are made about specific group and then op is a gen meme uploader #with no identifiers of who is behind the account #i immediately clock the amount as run by a teenage cishet white boy since they wanna act like they're the default anyways #which then makes the perspective of their content a lot more heinous #and i don't care if its bad faith because these posts are often viewed and laughed at by ppl who are not the ppl being made fun of #and it makes the ppl in the content vulnerable to bigotry and having their existence questioned by assholes #so in my opinion if you're not apart of the group your joking about and you post content making fun of them to millions of strangers #then ur literally posting content that farms negative views towards the group you posted about #whether you did it intentionally or not #esp hate when they go but my friend is X and they're okay with it!!#ok and we aren't all your friend... and your friend isn't our ruler so....#keep that shit between you and ppl who know your boundaries or else don't complain when ppl think you're a bigot

*flopped down on a couch w/a glass bottle of apple juice to make it look like i'm drinking beer*

yeah... yeah i'm fine.... just coming to terms w/the fact that i must use javascript in order to achieve my vision w/the neocities...

#the main reason i haven't just abandoned this particular aspect of the Vision(tm) is bc it would be useful for like.#more than one thing. so it's like. le sigh.#(reading the documentation for tippy tooltips tonight so that i can sleep on it n try to implement it tmrw or something)#why is it always js.... please god spare me at least a Little bit of suffering here i'll never sin again etc etc #speaking of sin i've started speaking more candidly abt my queerness w/the kids at work this week #it's nice to talk to the older kids (as in fifth grade or older) bc even tho like. nine years old is when they start to be tolerable #they lack awareness n life experience. today i told the older kids that i like men but in a gay way #n one of them was like 'i don't get it' n then i reminded her of Gender:tm: n she was like 'ohhhh i get it'#n the two guys also listening were like 'what. i still don't get it.' ONE OF THEM ASKED ME IF I WAS AMAB ACTUALLY LOL #n i was like 'what? that's not important.' but that was really surprising! kids usually read me as female #so it was kind of flattering in a way to be asked 'were you born a boy?' like idk how he's trying to process my gender #but i'm going to flatter myself into thinking the question comes from him like. idk clocking some kind of innate masculinity or w/e idk #花話 #anyway it's Crazy that it took me almost a year to not feel like i'd get instantly fired for telling kids i'm queer #Not going to lie it really felt like i'd never get to this point but it really is kinda just once you start it gets easier #(though to be fair i also wouldn't have told Any of the kids Anything had one of them not started acting like 'gays' was a dirty word)#(n i just Looked at him n said 'you know i'm a queer right?' n he was like 'O_O')#when i worked at homophobic summer camp i do remember daydreaming abt telling my boss i was a 'flaming queer'#i'd have put my feet up on her desk n everything as i made direct eye contact w/her but ofc i never did anything like that.#anyway! i will slep now so that i can get back to work on my projects tmrw morning

oh THANK GOD

there are only three quests you can use for an infinite rings exploit and the way they work is that you get rings in the text before the reward screen, so if you close the app after getting the rings but before the reward screen, it resets that part of the quest. the first one (know your friends, i think it’s called?) needs your mc so you can’t really progress the main storyline, and the second needs ezra, like so:

he’s not required for any important quests until much later, but i’ve still got about 5 side quests sitting there that need him.

but the third one, do you know julian, DOESNT need any of the main characters. i forget if it needs any other classmates (i just know that i used it in my original game and it was sustainable), but ezra is FINALLY free!

#ok well not quite. i’ve gotta DO the quest first #but god what a relief. this is the PERMANENT ring exploit quest #the first two were just to tide me over until this one #hss #personal #oh that’s right the last req is ‘complete a party with julian’#now watch me get one of the questions wrong so i don’t get the reward #it also has infinite coins and books. all of them have coins but the ezra one doesn’t have books #so i’m starting to get low on them even after the hundreds of thousands i saved from the first quest #oh you have no idea how much of a relief this is i can finally relax #but things are picking up with hss:#i’ve decided i’m only gonna get one of each gender of classmate unless absolutely necessary (so far i’ve needed 3 jocks and that’s it)#and this week i finally got the skater girl i needed to progress the main quest #(with infinite rings i know i could just buy them but i’m committed to partying. rip ever getting a prom queen lmao)#i also unlocked kallie yesterday (and i understand why nobody ever talked about her. that took WAY TOO LONG)#(i bought pencils in my original game but the server’s shut down now. had to do it the slow way. it took MONTHS)#i feel like there’s something else i did that was significant…….#oh yeah just now (at the same time i unlocked this quest) i finished the party that officially gets me one of every classmate #of the types i can get that is. don’t have rebels yet rip #i should look up which classmate i’ll need two of next so i can start working on it #the rarer ones can take weeks (or months. but i don’t think i’ll need a homecoming/prom queen for a quest?)#sometimes i forget i played this game for YEARS and only got by with exploits (and lbr spending WAAAY too much real money on it)#(hwu was worse because you couldn’t exploit it)#but i never paid rings for classmates. i always partied #sometimes i rushed parties but i still did them #wait. hold on a second. i have phoebe. she’s a prom queen. it’s the prom KING i don’t have lmaoooo that’s easy #when i say i only get a boy and girl of each that doesn’t include main characters or vips so i’ll still eventually party for a prom queen #but yeah i do have one lmao

My gender is weird but not in like trans/gender non conforming way. (To preface this I am from the south and was raised Christian so coming out kinda isn’t an option.) But like my gender is like babysitting your neighbors 3 year old whose across the room from you. And everyone online is saying make sure you’re always watching the kid, they’re known to be handfuls,,,, but like not this one??? Like I look up from my book and he ain’t crying or screaming or drawing on the walls or nothing little man’s just sitting there so I go back to reading. I was born with tits and dresses are nice but makeup is a hassle and I like my long hair but I have shoulders bigger than half the guys in my grade and if my boobs were to fall off tomorrow I’d just kinda shrug and move on and live flat chested. At the moment I’m saying I’m allocishet but if someone were to genuinely ask me about my pronouns idk kid’s not screaming yet so she/her is fine but also if someone started calling me by different pronouns I’d just shrug and see if the new kid starts screaming and if not yeah sure those pronouns are cool too I guess.

I thought it was over but of course not. Every time I see a post on my dash about this ship starting harassment (on BOTH sides, everybody sucks here and you should all be ashamed) it takes away any semblance of motivation I was starting to get to get back to reading and translating the katfl novel (and motivation already comes and goes with me, hyperfixation stuff. This just makes me want to stay away from Kirby until things finally calm down again, though)

Can someone get the Kirby of Disappointment image out, I feel like it's warranted here, Kirby would not be proud of us

#Kirby #tw discourse #tw harassment #tw harassment mention #discourse #fandom discourse #shoving as many blacklistable tags on this as I can #Seriously why. Why did it have to show up again. Why can't you all just behave yourselves.#I think this fandom needs to have its shipping license revoked this series isn't even about romance it's about friendship #Btw I wouldn't say I'm siding with anyone on this (at this point I hate everyone involved) but I don't like metasusie #Please do not claim I am defending it. Just saying this in advance #I'm probably closer to the series' target audience than most people engaging in discourse right now (I'm a teen. Close enough to a kid)#My thoughts: it's a kinda questionable/toxic ship (and I feel like people would take that more seriously if the genders were reversed)#(I know how double standards work I can see you guys)#But I feel like the way people are acting about this (again on BOTH sides) is a bit extreme. Like aren't we civilized people?
