Are trans women real women?

As opposed to what. Fictional? A mannequin? Unreal in the sense that it's unreal how bomb she is?

(tags V relevant)

#Inventing boxes around people never works. There's no parameter for real or not real that doesn't allow for discrimination #If a woman says she is a woman then she is a woman. It is not my business to comment on how ''''real'''' it is #Based on what?? The hell kind of authority am I??? I'm some fuckin dude. #It does not matter to me what pronouns or what chromosomes or what presentation someone has #If you tell me you're a woman okay you're a woman. You know better than me. What kind of douchebag would I be to contest that #Short answer: trans women are as real women as any women. It doesn't change anything. #Are he/him women women? Are drag queens women? Are femboys women? I don't speak for them why don't you ask them to their face #By which I mean get a scope on their experience and opinion. And don't ask the person who LOUDLY DOESN'T LIKE FIRM LABELS. #Not an art

Hey for every shitty post you blaze you best donate the same amount or more to someone in need. Get bent

#asks #also #the occasional silly thing i spend my money on doesn’t really fall under the scope of anyone’s business

Asuka R Kreutz might be one of the greatest characters in fiction and if you play him in Strive I'm jealous of you - how do you do all that? My head hurts...

#sairambles #guilty gear #ggst #asuka r kreutz #fuck dude I had to cut off that ask pretty hard because I won't lie #we were entering the possibility of me sitting down and spending hours on research to cover the full scope of Asuka as a character #I hope whoever sent that ask is satisfied with my answer because it was #a lot #and a mess #I hope I got all the stuff right I was all over the place on the wiki double checking and shit #god the new wiki is so good #dude the timeline is AMAZING it's so helpful #I'm screaming I need to go to bed holy shit man I forgot to eat because I was busy get enraptured in Asuka lore #I am eating now #sorry thoughts spilling over now this is becoming messy #wow I'm really not normal #what is wrong with this guy (me)

sixth day at my new school and i didn't sit alone at lunch today 🥳🥳

#woohoo!! #some girls invited me to sit with them so i did and chatted to them and this other guy #some of them are in my classes!! they were all very nice #honestly i was aiming to just try and fit in with the cishet boys and last week when i heard the rumour i was gay i was kinda freaked out #but i've scoped out the situation and it's not unsafe to be out (as bi. not anyone's business i'm trans) #so i realise it's better to just be open and have better chances of finding the right people than living in fear and squashing myself to-- #--fit in with the wrong people. bc if i can't be fully myself around someone then why would i want to be good friends with them?? #so yar i'll stick with other queer guys and supportive girls. gay guy/straight girl friendships are stereotypical but it's an ecosystem tha #works in a situation like high school tbh #ooo and i guess he was away today but the guy from a couple of my classes who i think is cute is in that group so added bonus #o and actually unrelated but at recess i went to this queer group thing i was invited to by a teacher last week #(recess is first and lunch is sceond) #i wasn't sure if i was going to go (mostly bc of my 'blend in' mindset) but i'm glad i did!! it was pretty nice #mostly just nice to get an idea of 'safe' people and teachers yaknow #'people and teachers' -- those aren't two mutually exclusive categories of being ajdsgjf but ykwim #and if i didn't go then i probably wouldn't have been in the better mindset for being just myself with everyone at lunch #so wahoo yippee :D #now i just needa keep talking to everyone and putting myself out there a bit more and i'll find the right people :)

Megumi’s life in ur “tsumiki and megumi are seperated” AU is super fucked. Does Gojo secretly put him on supervillain watch. Does he try to give him the worst counselling anyone has ever seen.

Worse he keeps trying to become Megumi’s New Dad and Megumi cannot emphasize enough how much he does not want him to do this. Why does Gojo keep asking him to throw a baseball with him. Why does he keep trying to ruffle his hair.

#Gojo tried to give him The Talk and megumi immediately turned around and tried to walk into traffic #because he’s the funniest motherfucker that ever was in any universe #it’s important to note that Megumi’s life in that AU is super fucked but almost no one knows the scope of it #megumis taking that shit to his grave #hes finally in a better place and he really really does not want anyone else to know about what he considers a really humiliating experience #he hates feeling weak is the thing and no one has ever made him feel weak the way his family did #he didn’t have any power over his own life and it was /humiliating/ #everyone else had normal childhoods and there he was being micromanaged so excessively that he wasn’t allowed to bathe and dress himself jn #until fucking high school. and even then it was only because the Zenin couldn’t hassle him at school #like it’s super obvious to everyone that the Zenin abused him but #no one knows just how bad it was #tsumiki knows he made some kind of deal so the Zenin would take care of her but he refuses to tell her what it was because he doesn’t want #to admit he tried to hurt himself. he doesn’t want her to know how bad it got. #maki knows better than anyone but 1) she doesn’t know most of it and 2) she’s not telling anyone about it either. Megumi’s her boy. she’s #not betraying his already fragile trust by airing out his business to other people #it’s sort of painfully obvious the Zenin used to beat him but no one talks about it. Megumi would shut down if anyone tries #like his life was sort of terrible and he didn’t see it getting better but somehow it did and he just wants the past to die #he wants what happened to be dead and buried and over and he knows it’s far from it but he just. he doesn’t want anyone to know.

Hope against hope

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw burning shores #hfw photomode #played this boss battle twice for no other reason than it being fucking amazing #the scope? #the visuals? #the whole tone of it?? #holy hell it filled me with so much dread to see this thing crawl towards the sea #and it was damaged! #(gotta love the arms that are still stuck in the hills at the end of the dlc) #piloted by a human so busy with his inflated ego he flailed around like a child! #and overheating! #and to think these were so much more capable of destruction during the faro plague #oof #also the soundtrack holy shit #so good

Okay but about that new Alien Stage thing....I know this is a tired and true cliche that is pretty popular with most modern metafiction but, like....I'm unironically asking. What if we're the aliens observing these characters like they're our pets?

#i havent been able to keep up on my fandoms cause busy life yay.... #but alien stage's pretty short #and that ad...like the way it seemed almost targeted to /us/ #and the top 3 being our boys (well that's also because our girls are dead. run away. somehow a rebel or something??) #but just...... #im obsessed with the implications that us viewers are the aliens #watching their suffering like theyre something we're scoping to own #and sometimes isnt that really what fandom culture can be sort of portrayed as? #im not saying fandoms are these foreign aliens outside of the characters' world (aka their outer space of sorts).... #...who disrupt the characters' peace/invade their world to take them as pets and treat them like beloved animals.... #...but im also saying it COULD be scraped to that and that messes me up #i love vivinos so much and the creativity they put in their animations like....ough #alien stage #fandom spamdom #stuff i say

I’m going to lose it I fucking hate working full time

#my thoughts #there’s already drama and I don’t! want! to! be! involved! #I feel like I’m in a tug of war between two people at my work who keep advising me not to let the other bully me into doing what the other #wants #they keep trying to get me to pick the desk THEY think I should pick #I DONT CARE ABOUT THE DESKS #STOPPPPP #also my free time is gone and I’m doing work that I don’t find deeply fulfilling #somehow I am passionate about the library but not passionate about doing it full time #you know what nevermind it’s not that hard to get. I hate the 40 hour workweek #literally fantasizing about quitting #no but for real I can’t do this the rest of my life #so I’m taking steps to starting a home bakery #I find cooking and baking deeply fulfilling #I applied for my home based processor license and I’m scoping out farmers markets to sell at #gotta look into the business aspect of it (starting an LLC) #also just so sad #I want to cry a lot #I feel caged inside like an animal #I want to go outside and work outside

today was a Beautiful Day

you know why? i saw my first manx shearwaters of 2024!!!

#contact call #saw them sitting on the water through the scope and thought they were auks #then they took off and i could see those lovely long wings and my heart LIFTED #WE ARE BACK IN SHEARWATER BUSINESS BABEY #oh yeah i saw some distant basking sharks too! #which is why i had the scope out in the first place #cool sharks and cool birds all in one day

[dredshirtroberts]

gee dad, idk maybe the reason that you can't answer how i'm doing when people ask isn't necessarily because you don't know where i work, but because i don't want to tell you how i'm doing because you never fucking cared/asked before.

what was your answer when i was living close by and you weren't talking to me? Or were people not actually asking after me then either? Was i just not interesting to *anyone* before I moved, or what?

maybe take the fucking hint that i don't want to tell you about what i'm doing for work, and lay off. Maybe ask about my hobbies, or what i'm doing for fun. Maybe ask about what i enjoy relaxing with, what shows i'm watching. Oh wait, you don't actually want to know about those things. you want to make sure i'm being a Successful Child so you can use me as a status symbol, and since I won't give you the information to be able to do that, you're having problems making yourself feel validated.

Well tough shit, none of it is any of your business and maybe just back off on the work questions. even if I had a job I wouldn't want to tell you about it because i don't want that to be the only thing you ask me about and it continues to be the only thing you ask about when you talk to me, even though i straight up said i didn't want to mix my personal and professional life even a little bit and thus don't want to talk about it with family.

maybe we could judge me for more than just the career decisions i'm making, perhaps we could see me as a whole human being with merits and personality outside of how i perform in a capitalistic society. Maybe you could want to get to know me as a person.

but you don't. so i don't feel like sharing.

#things i'll never say to his face #because i can't verbalize these thoughts to my family #i'm allowed to not answer #i'm allowed to not answer him and i'm allowed to just leave him on read and not respond even a little to any of ti #i already responded to half his question but none of it is any of their business and I don't want to share #leave me *alone* #you did a real good job when i was within arms reach of not wanting to engage with me #suddenly i'm outside of your scope of influence and i'm a Concern #it's giving me extra anxiety ontop of the anxiety i was already having thanks i didn't need this.

El espejo de la bruja (The Witch's Mirror, 1962)

"Elena. Elena!"

"What? Can't you see me?"

"I couldn't help you. You were marked by fate. I couldn't help you when you were alive, but I promise to avenge your death."

#el espejo de la bruja #the witch's mirror #horror imagery #mexican cinema #1962 #chano urueta #alfredo ruanova #carlos enrique taboada #rosita arenas #armando calvo #isabela corona #dina de marco #carlos nieto #alfredo wally barrón #gustavo césar carrión #abel salazar #a very busy‚ slightly silly but really quite fun little film. starts off very modestly‚ a tight 4 character piece in a single location #a sudden and genuinely unexpected hard turn into mad scientist lunacy at around the halfway mark does open it up a little: more characters #more settings‚ more wild weirdness. still very much a budget picture but the scope is definitely larger‚ the overall vision on a grander #scale. some of the onscreen horror in this second half (particularly the medical gore) feels remarkably ahead of its time; truthfully there #were films beginning to push the envelope in that regard already‚ across the world‚ but there's something about the coldly dispassionate #clinical nastiness and the bloody detail here that feels a little jarring and like it's maybe at the wrong end of the decade #also of note are some intermittently breathtaking visuals‚ particularly work with light and shadow and silhouette (almost always #relating to Isabela Corona‚ stunningly backlit on a mist shrouded twilight). if only the film could have sustained those visuals for its #entire running time‚ this would surely be one of the most celebrated horror films of its era #still it is a lot of fun and absolutely crazy in the second half. well worth finding for nasty little horror freaks (aka me)

realized i can probably give every vkei scene/style a style savvy style and then tagging these musicians w styles will be much easier if i know what scene theyre part of. i would appreciate any input (thts not “this isnt necessary why are you putting these styles in boxes” like i know things can be fluid but this js for personal reference)

art kei - dont know enough

cosplay kei - quirky (<- not a style in style savvy, i made this one up for weird runway fashion + clothes that would be sold under purple moon in style savvy)

iryou kei - edgy probably?

kirakira kei - dont know enough about this scene

kote kei - gothic (often looks like fetish goth which style savvy doesnt have. SAD!)

koteosa kei - dont know enough

kurofuku kei - dont know enough

loud kei - edgy

menhera kei - dont know enough but probablt edgy

misshitsu kei - dont know enough

nagoya kei - i know but im not sure. bold?

okeshou kei - edgy

oshare kei - edgy. maybe pop? can they be pop?

pikopiko - dont know enough

shiro kei - kinda dont know enough but probably gothic maybe?

shironui kei - edgy

showa kayou kei - doesnt fit in style savvy and i dont usually rb such bands anyways. would be edgy if i cared to tho

soft visual - gothic (but lowkey!) maybe theyre bold sometimes too

tanbi kei - gothic

wafuu - eastern, edgy (i cant remember which if any game calls the style Eastern, and i worry the tag looks bad on my part out of context, but i could always be using the far worse-sounding Oriental title)

#cici #if i posted pics style savvy fanswho dont know vkei could probably help me but im busy rn #(playing otome) #actually it would probably be way shorter to post style savvy examples and have vkei fans help. well WHATEVER maybe later #also gothic in ss is basically just gothloli but i expanded the scope for my own purposes 🖤

I'm too lazy to illustrate it (plus I think I'd get too caught up in the process LMFAO) but when drawing/adding personal touches to Lif's design I am channeling Lio Fotia Promare for his armor (ESP the Mad Burnish armor) Lewis Mystery Skulls (less aesthetic similarities reflected but like, kinda similar broad chested body type similar vibes and important heart motifs) (heart motif isn't pictured in this Lewis image but if you've seen the animated music vids you get it) and literally just any 2D animated Disney villain who is Shaped and Dramatic (and has a huge fucking cape or coat -- tbh the specific ones I think about are Maleficent and Cruella just from the dramatic/big cape standpoint, purely aesthetic)

(fuck it after a lot of thinking Hades is a good one too)

#no main tags about it but. i need everyone to understand my vision. #ig maleficent is more sleek than i'd ever draw lif but it's about vibes. fucked up dramatic evil vibes. #when it comes to body language i am always imagining him moving around in that dramatic disney villain way too #like i adore the serious art of him that captures his canon very well i adore seeing his severe and threatening side #but to me when i portray him he is just a little campy. #i can't help it LMFAO everything i touch gets a little silly and gay AGSJHAKSKAK #THE FLOURISH. THAT'S WHAT I'M ALWAYS IMAGINING. THE EVIL FLOURISH. #and like v important he's still so serious. and angry and full of grief. a threatening foe and liability as an ally. #someone you love but don't fully trust. #i feel like i. don't always capture the full scope of complexities in my work. too busy staying silly ig LMFAO #fe lif #<- one main tag actually. but only so i can find this later on my blog if i need it 👍 #THINKING THIS OVER AGAIN the reason i gravitate towards maleficent is bc of the Sharpness in her design #like dr facilier/the shadow man could fit v well here too aesthetically and hades thematically esp #but also full disclosure i haven't watched any classic disney movies in years LMFAO #literally was just frantically looking up 'most iconic classic disney villains' to look at their character sheets #bc i was SO hard pressed by the maleficent inspo. i feel like she is the EPITOME of dramatic disney villain #and i happened upon cruella and was like OH FUCK YES BIG FUCKING FUR COAT!!!!!!!!!!!! implementing this forevwr now #pouring over model sheets i almost feel like dr facilier is a bit too flamboyant actually? #like he's too playful actually. fantastic vibes but not quite for lif. #i think hades captures the silliness/exaggerated rage/movementa i think of and cruella also captures this #AND she has the big fur coat. i desperately wanna watch 101 dalmatians now LMAO #just to see how her coat moves and the weight of it. #but also i think maleficent captures the Classic dramatic and severe villain i was also imagining. #she has a lot of seriousness to her too. plus big cape. and drama. ect. #CATEGORY 5 AUTISM MOMENT. I KNOW. I NEED TO STOP THINKING I WANNA DO SALMON RUN

I think I forgot to post a scoping update this week. I forgot multiple things I was supposed to do on Friday, so I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise. What happened on Friday? Did Friday happen at all?

The entire month of August doesn't quite feel real. The whole summer feels like it's neverending, but also passing by in the blink of an eye. I'm sure that's partly because of my grandpa's passing, partly because of remodeling the bathrooms, which has been a bigger upheaval that I realized it was going to be even though I didn't really need to do much myself.

I feel like I'm waiting for life to go back to normal. Like I'm waiting for just a single day where I can stay home all day and have no distractions or claims on my attention, where I can just hole up in my room and actually buckle down and work on writing and scoping homework. Because it seems like, even when I have a few hours in between workmen coming to the house, or going to my grandma's for a meal, or a thousand other responsibilities and errands that aren't supposed to take much time, I blink and those hours are gone and I haven't done anything more productive than catch up on my Tumblr dashboard.

Tomorrow I'll be eight hours behind on what's supposed to be my scoping schedule. And I'm probably not going to have time to do much, if any, homework until Thursday this week. I'm getting horrible flashbacks to college, even though my current deadlines are completely self-imposed. It's that feeling of finding yourself balancing on a ball that's rolling down a hill, and you can't stop or you'll fall flat on your face, but you also can't catch up or slow down. It's like a very calm, subdued panic, if that makes any sense.

I don't really have much of a life, and yet I still have no time to do anything. And I'm still running on only 5-7 hours of sleep a night, which is entirely my own fault, but if I stopped earlier each night, I'd only have even more to catch up on the next day....

I probably just need to go to bed. Things usually seem slightly more manageable in the morning, even if that's bleary-eyed at 5 a.m. and none of the circumstances have actually changed a jot.

Oh. And I'm on Chapter 15.

#rambling into the void #what's the scope? #i mean...i HAVE made some progress on writing and scoping #but it doesn't feel like much because every time i'm like 'okay NOW i can settle down and get to work' #i look at the clock and i only have twenty minutes before the next Scheduled Thing i need to do #and then all motivation to be productive goes out the window and i just do busy-work instead #i just keep telling myself that my parents will be leaving in a week and then life will resume its normal course #feels awful to wish them gone but i feel obligated to spend time with them while they're here #which is great and all but yesterday i literally spent twelve hours with people #so by the time i could FINALLY sit down and do something on my own my poor introverted brain was oozing out my ears #okay now i'm just complaining to nobody in the tags so i really DO need to go to bed

this image fills me with such sublime rage

#Baldurs gate III is insane in scope (good) #lets not get it twisted the team that made Baldurs Gate III are fucking S Tier and deserve every amount of praise given #more so #BUT the sheer MAGNITUDE of Baldurs Gate III should not be the new scope of AAA games #98% of the reason that AAA games are Dog Shit is because of the Business Boys that meddle in actual Dev work

I am beyond frustrated right now. [Personal vent below because I just need to scream into the void.]

I offered my time, effort, and work free of charge and spent hours upon hours in planning and working with them only to be told they went with someone else who turns out they are not only paying but took my ideas to for them to work from!! I am beyond angry and hurt and god!! Why are people such assholes sometimes?!

#yes i have contacted the other individual to inform them that the work they have been given is not available for use as it is #yes i had a contract with the business in question that said they would pay nothing but must credit me for my work #and could not use it for anything beyond the scope of the project #and that does stipulate that they cannot take it to someone else #so i am protected #but my god why are people so heartless sometimes #it take zero effort to not be a dick #vent #personal #delete later #do not reblog please
