you never know what someone is going through. for instance i didnt know i was going through anything until about 2 years later. i thought i was just chilling
Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.
REBLOG IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS A TRANSFEM SAFE SPACE.
We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.
at this stage i think its good to say, and i direct this to all of the trans women on this site:
you are loved. you are appreciated. your presence is valued.
ppl can do all they can to invalidate you, to drag you through the grime and do their best to make you nothing. and they can fucking try.
but it won't change the fact that we care about you. i care about you. and i appreciate you taking the effort to stick around in this world, especially as things turn awful.
A little animation I did! I'm still very new to animation and this is my first time doing a run cycle, but it's a lot of fun figuring out how people move.
Ok I already reblogged this and it's midnight and I need to go to bed but no, I need to elaborate on this further.
I love loss of humanity through power and levels of awareness that no mortal should have. Like becoming a god is so fucked up! What would that do to a person, and if you're born as a god is that even any better? How the hell would you find meaning in anything knowing that you're the highest authority? There's a terrible sense of loss in essentially being a three dimensional being in a two dimensional world.
If you live that long you're gonna fuck up at least a few times too, and the consequences of your fuckups are gonna be BAD. I think it would be so so terrifying to be able to hold the world in the palm of your hand like a candle flame, and know that at any moment you could snuff it out. Cause if you're immortal, chances are that someday you'll be in a place where you might. And there is no taking something like that back.
What if an ascended god kept all their human emotions? It would hurt so fucking much to care in that position, but you could probably experience a lot of incredibly amazing things you never could as a human. How long would it even be possible for a human to keep that up? Is it a choice, to care or to become inhuman? Is there a middle ground? What if you care in an inhuman way? Would you go through phases of deep, feeling caring, and inhuman uncaring? The two faces of a god, the compassionate and the detached. The miracle working and the wrathful.
You can't keep caring literally forever, not when the world is so small and you have grown so large. At what point would you be thinned out, reduced to nothing but base whims and your over arching beliefs? Would it get impossible to change those beliefs as you aged? At what point does, like, smiting a city mean nothing to you?
Could a fully fleshed out human being slowly transform into what from the outside appears as an amoral and one dimensional personification of a concept, especially if whatever form of power they were granted was based around that concept, and helped to shape them?
I don't even think you would need some sort of magical personality transformation to have what this post describes happen, you only need power and time.
more stuff about becoming a god being inherently dehumanizing pls
Oh Motoko Kusanagi. Kickass cyborg. Hacker. Canonically bisexual. Has not one but two girlfriends. Woman in STEM. Considers pants optional. Purple. You would literally be the perfect character if you were not a cop. Why must the world be so cruel.
