This is supposed to be the outfit that "protects" Link from acquiring frostbite pfffttt

Between this top and the mandatory acrylics that come with the new arm, gotta say I'm loving how much Nintendo keeps leaning into GNC Link XD

MINI UPDATE: (Guys, I've already updated this post with the correct info. The "protects" part was supposed to be a joke about how skimpy the outfit was. I didn't realize the outfit gave an attack bonus at first, either. That was it. That was the post. You don't need to keep sending me messages trying to inform me about the frost attack. I know, I promise).

Update I: Just realized they gave him a set of blue acrylics for his left hand

Link really do be out here serving cunt 💅💅✨✨

Update II: Many thanks to the people who pointed out that this outfit gives you a special frost attack when in cold temperature areas, it doesn't actually protect you from the elements. I'll be honest, I am purposely avoiding any guides or walkthroughs for my TotK playthrough (since I'm trying to replicate my BotW experience). When I found the Frostbite Shirt, I was just happy that I finally had a piece of clothing that I thought could protect me from dying of hypothermia (was chugging spicy elixirs like you wouldn't believe) so I didn't notice the attack bonus until a bunch of you pointed it out lol

#radio plays #totk #totk spoilers #tears of the kingdom #totk link #nintendo out here #trying to make us go feral #over more gnc link content #they saw us lose our minds #over vai outfit link #lol and I'm not complaining #idk why the updates i added to the post #aren't showing up for some people #but lol yeah this doesn't protect you from cold temps #just gives you an attack bonus #idk link still looking cunty af to me regardless lol

God I'm so tired of people acting like not wanting to attract a lot of (often negative) attention is somehow Capitulating To Bigots like. The other day I was talking to someone about my strategic deployment of pronouns based on how much of an issue I think a person is likely to make about it and they were like "oh I just do what I want I'm done catering to cis people" and I was like BUDDY. I LIVE IN THE RURAL SOUTH WANTING TO NOT HAVE TO CONSTANTLY GET INTO IT WITH PEOPLE ABOUT MY PERSONAL GENDER IDENTITY IS NOT CATERING TO CIS PEOPLE I HAVE A RIGHT TO WANT TO MOVE THROUGH THE WORLD WITHOUT CONSTANT INTERPERSONAL CONFLICT

Or like I was talking about how I hate swimwear options bc they're all revealing but if you choose to wear like, a t shirt and shorts, people still stare at you because that's socially unusual so it sucks either way and someone was like "I just do it anyway and if people don't like it they can die mad about it" and like... okay. I want to be able to go to the local pool and not either be uncomfortable with what I'm wearing or have people treat me weird about it. I would like for my presence and clothing choices to be considered neutral and it's fine for me to state that actually. This is not assimilationist or capitulating to people. It's going "hm I would love if stepping out my front door didn't have to be a revolutionary act!!!!!" Agghhhhh

#im visibly gnc all the time. i am not hiding who i am. but also???? #people making that choice are suffering for it and its an incredibly personal calculation and its FINE AND NORMAL #TO BE LIKE I AM SO TIRED OF DOING IDENTITY MATH #SOMETIMES I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO NOT MISGENDER MYSELF IN ORDER TO NOT GET IN FIGHTS #BUT THATS NOT THE LIVE I GET TO LIVE

It's fine for your transition goals to be a man who wears dresses or a woman who wears tuxes or a person of indeterminate or queer gender wearing literally any combination thereof (or lack of combination, for that matter)

The point of transition is not to fit yourself into the cookie-cutter boxes. The point is for you to be able to exist as you. There is nothing wrong with being a "stereotype" or looking "queer". You are radiant and amazing <3

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #kind of weird to see this odd gnc-phobia from people like... it's fine to be trans and not be 'neatly' your gender #i've just seen some weird things from others that presenting your gender in a nonconforming way is problematique and wrong and ????? #although not everybody expressing their gender in a way society sees as nonconforming will be gnc #gnc is something you claim for youself - if you're just a person wearing clothes then that's accurate to say yknow? #like for me personally i don't always see myself as gnc. i just see myself as a man who Does Things Sometimes

[reneeworks]

just dreamed i was in some conference of gnc people from non accepting countries and a very nice dude was talking abt how hard it's to live in places like that and he was saying something like "and to make things worse, while we have to endure the horrible rejection of society, the period is giving..." and then I??? woke up????

the period is giving?? it's giving what brain what is the period giving i need Answers

[beemovieerotica]

it really is insidious how terfs will point to scars and very recent surgery photos in a way that berrays that they have never had to undergo major medical intervention or witness it on the people they love. like I've seen them getting utterly grossed out posting barf emojis over photos of thighs and forearms where skin gets removed and grafted elsewhere for things like bottom surgery. and I don't think they're even aware that...that's what skin grafts are? for skin cancer, for burns, for corrosion--you take it from somewhere else and put it where it's needed. but they will literally just post and look at these photos of the donor area in complete isolation, they'll see the missing scarred skin and be completely revolted by it, when you could fully and without their knowledge swap it for any picture from a different surgery and they could be saying this shit about a cancer patient. do they get that their revulsion for scarred and post-surgery bodies isn't some perfectly neat thing they can assign to that recipient versus this one, and when they say shit like "zipper tits" there's cis women with mastectomy scars who hear that? do they know how dehumanizing that is? have they ever even spoken to someone who isn't able bodied and perfectly, blissfully healthy?

I think there’s also a conversation to be had about how people think androgyny is waify and thin and wolf cuts and eyeliner. like some people are butch. some people have crew cuts and body hair and tits to the moon. or beards and hourglass figures.

i feel like everyone is all uncomfortable seeing people who are androgynous in a non tiktok kind of way but thats most of the androgyny i know! i know normal people who arent put together 24/7 who are androgynous in sweat pants and sundresses and first thing in the morning. there is more than one way to be androgynous and it isnt always a choice.

#theres a hundred ways to be gnc and or androgynous please please dont think its just dark academia bitches from 2014 #but like. fat trans women. hairy transmascs. enbies with phallo and tits. long hair and beards. mustaches and lipstick. hairy tits! #just in general fat people. fat trans people exist and there is such a pressure for hyper gendered presentation when youre fat #text #shush up jj #mine

Saw a Take earlier today like "Ed stans have only 1 argument and it's accusing everyone who likes Izzy of being problematic" or something to that effect

and it made me think "Nah babe, you're not problematic. You're just wrong."

And then I thought. Huh. Why do I think that?

It's a perfectly respectable thing to read a text in a way it wasn't intended to be read. In fact, "reading against the grain", doing critical readings, shifting perspectives when engaging with a text - all of thee are important skills! You can, and should, do feminist, antiracist, postcolonial, queer, etc readings of texts that were never intended to be read that way. Hell, all fandom (often) is, is doing queer readings! Ask the text uncomfortable questions it doesn't want to answer!

However. It's pretty difficult to do a queer reading when the text already is a queer narrative. The questions you would ask the text if you did a queer reading, or a reading focused on gender roles, or similar things - those are questions the text is already actively exploring.

If you want to do a subversive reading of a text that is already quite subversive - what do you end up with?

"What's the story like from Izzy's perspective?" is a question ofmd deliberately doesn't focus too much on because Izzy's perspective is the default and ofmd wants to challenge that. There's a reason the angry white man is the antagonist in this show, and if you ask "Okay, but could he be right though?" you're missing the point.

Or rather, you're turning everything that's interesting about ofmd back around. You're asking "Okay, but why don't we focus on a white perspective that strictly adheres to oppressive power structures?" of a narrative who already asked itself this question and gave the answer "Because that's been done enough and there are other stories worth telling."

And I think people are aware of that, which is how we end up with completely bizarre takes like "Izzy has the only queer character arc". He hasn't, but he has the only arc that a queer reading can be done on - for everyone else it's text, plain and simple. Refusing to engage with that text in favour of centering Izzy is basically doing a heteronormative reading without being willing to admit it to yourself.

And no, interpreting Izzy as a queer man doesn't change that.

#its not about your headcanon its about the questions you ask the text!!! #'do the people who abuse and bully stede have a point?' #no says the text. NEVER. theres nothing wrong with being a gnc weirdo. #if you want to answer yes - okay why? why do you think the text is wrong in answering no? #'is ed changing how he acts and presents himself behaviour that needs to be corrected?' #no says the text. a lot what we are taught about being a man is wrong. #again. if your answer is yes. ask yourself why. #and so on. like im not saying youre committing a thought crime just. be honest about what your interpretation is actually asking yk #our flag means death #izzy hands #thoughts #the izcourse

sending love to all fat people struggling with gender stuff, to those whose dysphoria is worsened by gendered views of weight and body type, to those who are denied transition related medical care bc of their weight, to those who feel alienated even in lgbt and gnc spaces, to those who struggle to find gender affirming clothing designed to fit them, to those who feel they need to work twice as hard to have their identities respected. you deserve better. you’re lovely and deserving of respect and autonomy just as you are.

#trans positivity #nonbinary positivity #gnc positivity #lgbt positivity #fatphobia #is so heavily gendered... it can hit people who are trans/nonbinary/gnc/combinations of those so hard :(

'transmisogyny is the intersection between the axes of misogyny and transphobia, the specific oppression applied to trans people who are also women, composite of those social systems of repression directed against those two groups separately, but also possessing unique character greater than the sum of its parts' vs 'transmisogyny is a vague ideological miasma, that aren't we really *all* victims of? how are cis people and men in the intersection of transphobia and misogyny? no clue. and really aren't some white men victims of misogynoir too?'

#if 'transmisogyny can apply to gnc cis men too' seems more reasonable than 'misogynoir can apply to white people' #it's because your framework of oppression doesn't consider trans women to be genuinely women

[chapst1ckmcdyke]

So ive had this saved in my drafts for a while now- but theres a point id like to make about butch/femme identity and expression and think this is ready despite the crap i might catch for it

On my days off and when i go out for fun, lots of times i look like this vvv

And other times, especially because im a blue collar dyke, i look like this vvv

The thing that both these photos have in common is that, regardless of how i may appear, i am a femme lesbian. I am not magically butch at work just because i have to wear jeans and work boots for safety. On the clock I am often mistaken for a man and harassed for using the women’s bathroom, people call me sir and damn near keel over trying to correct themselves. I understand that people will look at me as masculine because im in a mans trade.

And yet im still a femme!

You know why? Because being femme is not about how i dress or how long my hair is or the job i work or the body im in, but who i am, how i love, and how i want to be loved back. Its my reclamation of my gender and sexuality and romantic life.

Theres this idea that femme lesbians are “the girl” lesbians and butches are “the boy” lesbians. Femmes are stereotyped as straight passing hyper feminine (and often times cis) girls. But if youve ever met a femme thats not always (in my experience- USUALLY) the case. We often are nonbinary (hi! Also me!) and/or gender nonconforming even in our femininity- taking the things that cishet society hates the most in women (ie body hair/body fat/masculine jobs/deep booming voices- etc) and owning those characteristics in ways that make us feel free and most like femmes 💕

I personally feel most comfortable being feminine off the clock and covering myself in glitter and being a tacky fat furry muppet because its how i feel best recognized by the butches i adore so much! But i get to reclaim womanhood or whatever adjacent, gender-fucked, lesbiany, thing ive got going on, and that doesn’t change when i wear jeans and work boots.

Femmes get to be whatever the hell we want- being broad shouldered and deep voiced and fat and furry and in a trade are not traits that magically make me incapable of being femme- and im over this whole ordeal where y’all assign butches and femmes as either “the boy” or “the girl” of the relationship and expect us to be exclusively feminine or masculine and never cross or mix- just recreating useless gender roles that we have zero reason to uphold.

(And this goes the absolute same for butches/studs who express feminine traits and DOUBLE for trans butches/studs/femmes)

[tavina-writes]

I started writing an essay in the tags of a post that was not strictly related to this topic but started getting me thinking and realized I should just. Make my own post about this because I have kind of been sitting on this frustration for a while? And mmmm idk how to feel about this.

(For the record, the post that inspired this is this one.)

I want to make it clear UPFRONT that I am not knocking on ANYONE's interpretations of NHS or about having gender headcanons about a character in general. I think people can headcanon NHS as whichever gender they like because those interpretations are fun and exciting and I like to read about those too.

What I have been getting progressively iffy on, and am not entirely clear on how to express until I came across the above post is the idea that 'NHS is femme-coded because he has femme-coded hobbies' or 'NHS is very gender/gender nonconforming because he likes to paint and doesn't like exercise/practice his saber' or 'NHS is not very masc in comparison to his brother and people in his society put him down/are irritated with him/react to him differently because his gender presentation is more femme.'

And I think what's always kind of boggled me about interpretations like these that I've mentioned above is because...

Hobbies like keeping birds* and painting and calligraphy and poetry** and being well dressed and fashionable*** were strongly masculine coded scholar gentry hobbies for bored rich men**** in historical China. People react to NHS they way they do in text (at least from what I can understand of the social norms of the MDZS jianghu) because NHS is determined to be a particularly foppish dandy and also yknow, actively wailing about his many problems.

So, I think the tldr of this is that: NHS can be interpreted as whatever gender people would like! But his society and his peers and the other characters are not reacting to him in a certain way because he's femme-coded, they're reacting to him that way because he's an irritating asshole and kind of foppish (affectionate)

*keeping birds (as pets and not like, just raptors for hunting) was a rich man's hobby in Ancient China from at least the Zhou dynasty, though which birds were popular as pets (everything from parrots to orioles) differed depending on the dynasty, but the Ming and Qing dynasties were extremely big on pet birds in rich people's houses in particular.

**it is unclear if NHS is particularly good at say, painting or calligraphy OR poetry but the point is that he appears to like these things

***men's fashion has been a wild beast throughout the ages both in the east and the west, and men have done things for fashion like wearing gaudy archer's rings to show off archery skills they didn't have, high heels, Song dynasty men wore flowers in their hair, and my own personal unfavorite: the Qing Dynasty queue.

****the four gentlemanly arts were for example: qin qi shu hua -- playing the qin (music), weiqi (Go if you want to use the Japanese name for the game), shu (calligraphy), and hua (painting). See brief wikipedia summary about the four arts here. There were different things also included in the education of an aristocratic gentleman in pre-imperial China but we have no time to delve into that in this post. HMU for more info if you want it because I love to talk about historical things.
