like beyond the fact that i think likeability is such a nothing metric to me at this juncture i also think if your takeaway from watching heathcliff and catherine's development in reaction to a horrifically racist misogynistic society is Also They Suck you dont have anything worthwhile to add

Auditioned for a short film (by a transmasc filmmaker looking for transmasc actors!!) and I think I beefed it but I'm ngl I'm still kind of enjoying being a late-onset theatre kid. I think it's very brave and sexy of me and such

Maybe this is some false consciousness shit but I'm honestly very charmed at this point by Gen X cis people trying to give me trans-related compliments

somehow Charles I returned

Visibility is a trap (my mom is reading a critically acclaimed recent novel about a trans man involved in the gay kink scene of the city I'm about to move to)

Very very drunk and queening out with my stepmom at the otherwise boring family function >>>>

I am eternally so fascinated by how in both the Danish and English narrative folk ballad tradition female protagonists loving their children just isn't a given at all. And when they don't it's very rarely treated as any kind of moral violation provided they stop short of actually murdering them

Communists have a higher opinion of historical liberalism than liberals do. You're supposed to be the ideological descendants of Robespierre and Paine! Fucking act like it!

you guys remember when the show accidentally had balon greyjoy technically win the war for succession

Finally watching Severance. Would have watched it much sooner if I had been aware that, in terms of ambiance, it was going to completely eschew all dystopia/cyberpunk cliches in favor of just being so incredibly strange

Been doing a lot of volunteer work this week. Pic extremely related.

Sanderson has none of Martin's gifts and, to his credit, would be the first one to tell you that.

I love George. If he retired tomorrow or, god forbid, died, he'd leave the literary world an embarrassment of riches and changed the lives and tastes of millions of people all over the world. Finished, not finished, that's none of my business.

"What does someone calling a male character 'babygirl, princess, malewife', etc because of his perceived submission mean regarding their view of women" Well usually it means that the person has a feminization kink. Hope that helps

The thing about being a polyshipper is that if the characters aren't canonically jealous people that's great but if they are that just makes for interesting conflict and things to work through. So I always win

Contemplating tonight whether the fact that my mom's all-time favorite song is Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat" (which as such got played more than regularly in my childhood home) went on to somehow influence my taste in fictional dynamics. I think probably yes

MY FUCKING FRIDGE BROKE

Robespierre gap moe

Do the Deltarune ch3 minigames have hands or is this another remarkable case of (motor) skill issue on my part

Atlas goes to a gay male kink club with a "we accept trans guys except they can't go in the darkroom" policy good ending: I get laid Bad ending: I get hatecrimed True ending: I meet another trans guy there and we talk about Glidus' ASOIAF theories for half an hour

We don't talk enough about how Steven Universe was literally good

Few things to be happy about in the world but at least one of the ringleaders of organized transphobia in Denmark is now also advocating against sunscreen (and in fact against all measures to protect oneself from the sun)

Continuing w I, Claudius. I don't love the crip drag of it all (and not just for representation reasons, you can tell Derek Jacobi doesn't actually have tics or a stutter and it IS distracting) but it is kind of rewarding to watch a show whose protagonist has the exact same tics I used to have ngl!

I am 26 years old and I have just now discovered you can cook most ramen noodles in a skillet with water

Only being broke and bad at + scared of once again trying to learn makeup is keeping me from living my best life as a drag queen named Autumn Spectrum right now

I'm at the point in my transition where street harassment just becomes confusing

I'm increasingly exclusively interested in very traditional gay male kink aesthetics on myself which obviously means I want to # respect my queer history but. How are the leather spaces in my country not embarrassed advertising themselves with "we accept every kink except feminine presentation"

Watching I, Claudius immediately after watching HBO's Rome is fun. They're more or less contiguous timeline-wise except they're each historically inaccurate in their own special way so it's like watching a cinematic universe made through Exquisite Corpse

as ever, any excuse to post this

Dismemberment in fiction is almost always a deeply transmasculine thing. This IS something I just don't know how to phrase it in a way that makes it clear what I'm getting at

I've been extremely pleasantly surprised at almost all the (many, many different) medical professionals I've been dealing with this time around gendering me as male without needing any prompting or correction

STITCHES OUT

Wait I'm on Prednisone that's why I spent all day yesterday being this angry and disappointed about something annoying but inconsequential

Unreasonably sad about the fact that I won't get a chance to see the 4-hour socialist avant-garde book-dialogue + monologue adaptation of Les Miserables currently running in Copenhagen after all. Trying to cope by pretending it's probably not even good

"You look like... Tom Clancy's Final Fantasy" - my friend

Ear surgery is fun because sometimes they inject adrenaline directly into your vagus nerve and make you clinically Weird for a while

This whole week has felt like being haunted by 2019 [DEROGATORY]

I was promised 3 days of headgear this time. And also I might end up in a medical journal

For the past 5 days I've had at least 1 conversation a day where I tried to bring up A Place of Greater Safety to a perfect stranger (I don't just go around randomly doing this I had a very specific reason. Not one that makes me look cooler though) and every single time I was met with a blank stare

[GROSS PERSONAL MEDICAL STUFF] I have a fucking cyst on my ear again. Except this time it's ears plural. It's somehow on both of them simultaneously.

I really do get the wildest water retention for no fucking reason

Ended up having to ditch the sunglasses for entirely unforeseen (unless you happen to have thought about it for 5 seconds) "extremely inconvenient on a dimly lit dancefloor" reasons but I do like tonight's queer cabaret + rave outfit a lot

love furiosa first woman since christine daae to ever experience torture yaoi

Just learned that there's a band called Marduk and that this is probably what's being referenced in the song "Marduk T-Shirt Men's Room Incident"

Am I having the regular birthday-induced existential crisis or is it bc I forgot to apply T gel for the past few days bc I was sick. Or a secret-to-me third thing I guess

ARADIA MEGIDO????

<----- sick and pathetic
