People really b like "why do trans men call me transphobic for not believing in transandrophobia!??!?!?" And then go and

Misgender anyone who disagrees with them (ex: calling trans men who disagree with them tomboys, girls, etc | putting transfems who disagreew with them onto transmasc blocklists without a care in the world that they're misgendering the trans women they claim to care about)

Creating and using slurs specifically targeted at trans men and transmascs (theyfab/pooner/zippertits/etc)

Commiting harassment against people specifically because they are transmasc

Denying people their identities not just as transgender but as black, latino, indigenous, etc. Because it doesn't fit the narrative that everyone talking about transandrophobia is a white privileged teenage transmasc.

And more that I couldn't put into words or remember ATM.

Transandrophobia deniers don't really care about minorities, let alone trans people, they show so many reactionary and terfy behaviors, even towards the people they say they care about, I'm tired of it.

Just twenty-one days after the first atomic test in the desert, the Japanese industrial city of Hiroshima was leveled by nuclear blast; never before had so many people-at least 130,000, probably many more-died from a single explosion.

Just twenty-one years after Columbus's first landing in the Caribbean, the vastly populous island that the explorer had re-named Hispaniola was effectively desolate; nearly 8,000,000 people-those Columbus chose to call Indians-had been killed by violence, disease, and despair. It took a little longer, about the span of a single human generation, but what happened on Hispaniola was the equivalent of more than fifty Hiroshimas. And Hispaniola was only the beginning.

Within no more than a handful of generations following their first encounters with Europeans, the vast majority of the Western Hemisphere's native peoples had been exterminated. The pace and magnitude of their obliteration varied from place to place and from time to time, but for years now historical demographers have been uncovering, in region upon region, post-Columbian depopulation rates of between 90 and 98 percent with such regularity that an overall decline of 95 percent has become a working rule of thumb. What this means is that, on average, for every twenty natives alive at the moment of European contact-when the lands of the Americas teemed with numerous tens of millions of people-only one stood in their place when the bloodbath was over.

To put this in a contemporary context, the ratio of native survivorship in the Americas following European contact was less than half of what the human survivorship ratio would be in the United States today if every single white person and every single black person died.

The destruction of the Indians of the Americas was, far and away, the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world. That is why, as one historian aptly has said, far from the heroic and romantic heraldry that customarily is used to symbolize the European settlement of the Americas, the emblem most congruent with reality would be a pyramid of skulls.

Let's address the MVP in the atom eve special: Zak

He gave Eve an opening to show her interest. And when she got into detail, he listened to every word.

He didn't disregard her intelligence or bitterly called her a "know-it-all" or called her names like "nerd" or "weirdo", instead, he was fascinated with her. He openly showed interest in wanting to know what she knows.

Of course there's a little personal agenda that he needed to learn these things but you can tell that he was genuine with her.

What really made me feel so emotional is that Zak celebrates Eve, he proudly compliments her to her parents. And he's aware/probably aware that she's not a very verbal kid around her parents so he took it upon himself to prove her genius.

He showed every model Eve built and carefully picked them up to show them off. You can even see Eve smile when he showed the magnesium model. And even if he doesn't completely know what the final model is, he still praised it.

And can we applaud this dude? He literally understood what was happening to her, what she was seeing, before her own parents did. And if this was his first time babysitting her? That's just all the more impressive of him to be able to realize.

Even as Zak said all that about Eve being able to see and memorize molecules, you can feel that he was amazed by Eve the entire time.

You can see that Eve was visibly distressed in this moment cause her parents aren't the least bit happy.

But Zak handled it well. Teens would fold or agree when the adults seem to disagree or don't want to hear them out (especially if they're babysitting, wouldn't want to lose that pay). But that's not the case with him. He didn't raise his voice to be heard. But he made it known that he thinks what Eve knows and what she can do is cool.

And most importantly, Zak didn't forget his manners. He thanked Eve and made sure she knows that she helped him a lot by showing that he's confident he'll do well in his test.

He literally did every single thing right. This boy was raised right. We don't have much info on him but he was a great character in the entirety of his screen time.

I don't think I can stress this enough but his whole scene was amazing.

Eve looks super young here and she might not remember this moment but I'm sure she's glad that at that moment, someone made her feel okay with herself.

That what she's seeing is okay.

That what she knows is okay.

And that it's okay to show it to others too.

“Roy was the engineer, and anything related to engineering, in any specialism, would have to pass through his hands. This included assembling the plane’s radio, just like he’d fixed the small battery-operated Spika radio and made it work.

“Adolfo sat down beside him. He explained to Roy that it was not a matter of expertise in electronics but one of ignorance, and pointed out that Roy was the least ignorant of everybody in that department. Roy argued that he had never seen an airplane radio in his life, not even in a book. Adolfo put his hand over Roy’s. ‘I know that, Roy. We all know that. I only wanted to tell you that you were the best one at handling the wires and the terminals, that’s all. But right now that’s a lot, it makes a huge difference … you are the engineer.’

“Roy, almost breathless, added something that his older friend already knew: ‘I am barely in my first year in Engineering, I’m only twenty years old, and the only time I’ve ever been remotely close to anything like this was when I helped instal a damn audio system for my cousins.’

“‘And you fixed the Spika radio,’ Adolfo responded, as if it were a thermonuclear station and not a basic portable radio the size of a pack of cigarettes. Before Adolfo even said the next sentence he knew clearly that it was as painful for him to say as it was for his friend to hear it. ‘Roy, the group needs your abilities. All we’re asking is that you try.’ ”

tim and bernard who break up and it's nothing big, no one cheated or anything. it's just their lifestyles didn't work out well together. tim cannot give up vigilantism currently and bear cannot handle the level of danger tim puts himself in. and on the other hand, tim cannot handle the fact that bear chooses to run into danger as an emt bc he already worries about everything but now he has to worry if he'll find his boyfriend convulsing from fear gas in a random alley but also bear who felt the life drain out of darla cannot stand the thought of not helping people and runs headfirst into dangerous situation after dangerous situation hoping that every person he saves can somehow make up for the fact that he could not save darla.

(he very pointedly does not think about the fact that there was nothing he could do because if he thinks about that, he'll spiral until they have to lock him in arkham too)

and so they break up but they were tim & bernard in high school and when they started dating they balanced out the worst of each other and they became tim&bernard. and everyone who knows them, knows that they're better together but they cant be together, they refuse actually because they cannot lose another person to the violence of gotham and by the time they figure out that they cant work together as long as the other is an emt or vigilante, it's too late for both them. they've already left too many pieces of themselves in each other.

tim still knows what bear means when he says "tim" in that exasperated voice. tim still goes boneless when he hears bear say "baby" in that firm tone. bear can still read tim like a book. he still knows the right way to massage tim's neck so that tim can go to sleep. everyone at the first responders gala knows not to bother ceo drake-wayne and senior emt dowd when they're talking.

(and if they're standing a little too close to each other than what is normal, who are they to judge? everyone knows that dowd and drake-wayne have history)

and if everyone on the night shift has caught red robin with his head tucked into the crook of emt dowd's neck as emt dowd runs a soothing hand up and down the vigilante's back, well then, they just quietly back away.

(after all, dowd's one of like, five, emts that can get the bats to receive medical treatment so if turning a blind eye to whatever the fuck they have going on is what allows them to give back to their heroes, then the night shift will do it every time)

and of course, tim and bear are practical people. they loved (love) each other sure, but when your lives are fundamentally incompatible, well, you cant get too stuck on the what-ifs, that's for sure. and so they do find love with other people and yeah, maybe it's not what they expected love to be when they first fell in love with each other. it's not the bubbly, stomach-swoopy, cant stop grinning, feeling that permeated tim&bernard's early days or the i Know you/you Know me that was their middle or the quiet despair that was their end but it is contentment. and in a life with as many losses as theirs, contentment is something they hold dearly

and they're happy! truly! but sometimes, at galas when they're making each other snort champagne out their noses or in darkened alleyways when their clothes are both stained with blood or at rallies for stricter gun regulations in gotham where they both sit too close to each other, fingers enclosed around each other in a death grip, when the presenters inevitably bring up grieves

(worst school shooting in gotham in decades, there's blood on their hands and blood in their mouths and darla is dead in between both of them and there is a chasm so wide that they are screaming to get their voices across and she will always be dead and maybe this had always been the problem that she is dead and there is no coming back from that and that there is blood on their hands and blood in their mouth and blood on their han-)

but sometimes, most especially on opposite sides of the street, as life pulls them in different directions, just sometimes, they see each other and just for a second, nothing too long, the flap of a hummingbird's wings, the time it takes to blink, an electron's orbital, they look at each other and for the briefest moment, blue on brown, a barely noticeable stutter in their steps, the space between heartbeats, because this is all they will give themselves because they do not dwell on what-ifs or what-could-have-beens, or what-should-have-beens, or delusions of a softer world, their eyes meet and they think to themselves, god, in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with him.

#what the fuck is this #the theme was wistfulness. hopefully that came across right. and like i wanted this to be all 1 text block so you feel how it all collapses #into that 1 thought they have at they end but fuckass tumblr has a 4096??? text limit for a single paragraph???? so here's multiple paragra #anyway here is my middle of the road sad timbern hc. do i think this will happen? no? is this still a fun world to play in? yeah absolutely #also super huge fan of darla haunting the narrative. darla as this chasm they cannot cross. darla as smth they shelter each other from #but also smth like a 2 way blade. it cuts them both. it will never stop cutting them. smth smth the wound will always bleed #also i cannot stress how important it is that they are happy with other people!!! they are both satisfied with other people. it's just that #they have a very specific history and they are the only two people who really know and understand that history #and also it's not that theyre unhappy with their partners but just that smtimes they look at each other and... wonder. in a softer world #maybe i could've been a chef and you could've still been a superhero and we could've still worked out. maybe we would've gotten a boat #together and maybe we could've come home to each other. maybe i could've trusted you to come home to me. maybe you could've #understood my need to help people. maybe we could've held our love as something precious.#maybe in a softer world our love wasn't something that hurt us both.#i need to lay down. im going crazy #as always i do love reading yalls thoughts in the reblogs and replies!!!#bernard dowd #dc #tim drake #timbern #timber

Otacon: You mean I'd only get in your way... (Feeling bitter about his helplessness)

Snake: Wrong. Only you can save those hostages. Got it?

Gripping Otacon by the shoulders, Snake reassures him. Smiling, Otacon nods his head.

#otasune #solid snake #otacon #hal emmerich #mgs2 #mgs4 #They make me. Insane.#mgs #metal gear solid #ada's screencaps #ada speaks #caption is from the script found in the document of metal gear solid 2 #i NEEDED to compare these ok. it was making me fucking crazy #mgs2 spoilers #snake. giving otacon a Directive every time he notices him getting upset. because... that's how snake gets through life.#'that's your job right? to support me?' snake. i know you know what youre doing.#both times. he reassures otacon by affirming his importance to him #stresses that he cannot go on without his help and support #and it goes both ways #otacon gives snake purpose too #in the novel otacon says that snake has a 'tragic sense of responsibility' for raiden and meryl. but he suspects also extends to him #and it does #but despite everything... he chooses to carry this weight. he is directionless without a purpose #this is how snake keeps going #its why he took on responsibility for 50 huskies in alaska #its why he took it upon himself to make sure meryl got out of shadow moses alive 'for himself' and not for campbell #its why he joins otacon in atoning for their sins via philanthropy #and in these moments he reminds otacon that they have a job to do not because he is insensitive or uncaring #but because he himself functions this way. you can't change the past. but you can make a better future.

Idk how some of y'all think it's okay to say all this stuff but

Quit blaming trans people for transphobia

I don't mean trans people as in the average trans man or woman, I mean

The mogai community

The xenogender community

People who experience little to no gender dysphoria

Nonbinary people

"Weird" trans people

Nuerodivergent trans people

No-op trans people

Trans people without official gender dysphoria diagnoses

Neopronoun users

This always happens when I scroll the gender dysphoria tag, for whatever reason there's always just so many exclusionary posts (most written by trans people) claiming that people from that list up there are to blame for transphobia

I can't believe I have to say this, or that anyone else has to say this

Transphobia is not the fault of its victims, it is the fault of its spreaders.

Transphobia is not the fault of "weird" trans people, it is the fault of transphobic people, transphobic people just use "weird" trans people as a scapegoat for their behavior.

And spreaders of transphobia includes trans people, trans people can be hella transphobic, most of the people blaming "weird" trans people for transphobia are trans themselves. There are plenty of people in this community that spread terf rhetoric and transmedicalist crap and a lot of them have large followings too such as Blaire White and her possee of associates, hell, transphobia from trans people isn't even always just exclusionist crap as we've seen from the rise of transandrophobia/transmisandry within the community via trans people calling transmascs "pooner" or "zippertits" or "14 year old girls" or "theyfab" in response to talking about the discrimination transmascs face.

I'm getting sick of this rise of casual hate and discrimination in our own community, I'm tired of the othering, the defensiveness, the false blaming, the misinformation, the casual use of terf rhetoric, the sucking up, the victim blaming, the infighting, the slur slinging, all the other hell.

I'm never quite sure how to put this kinda stuff into words but..

When you blame your fellow brethren for the discrimination you face, all you do is harm yourself and help your abusers.

They may pretend to like you now, but when they're done with the people you're helping them hurt, you're next. And they won't be nice about it.

Also just since my one jack-psychosis post made its rounds i’d love to add on these things for extra salt in the wound:

-> “jack smiles, so happy to be so needed, so loved.”

-> “they’ll never want to be friends again.” [“and that’s important to you?”] “they raised me. taught me to be who i am.”

#HE LOVED THEM SO MUCH NO WONDER HE WENT INSANE OVER LOSING THEM 😭😭😭#also can this be the start of the fandom actually talking about him….paychisus included we are simply very lacking in jack meta #we’re lacking any acknowledgment of jack that isn’t a condensed ableist mischaracterization lmao #spn #supernatural #jack kline #sam winchester #dean winchester #tfw2.0 #castiel #spn scripts #spn meta #spn 14x19 #cannot stress enough that the idea of him as just being their adoptive baby to fix everything and make it all domestic is a gross #misrepresentation of how TFW2.0 actually works and how exactly jack feels about them #they’re his friends they’re his dads they’re IMPORTANT to him and he’s not only willing to harm/risk/sabotage himself for them #but he’s also very VERY willing to kill for them too #which is also highly glossed over in the fandom bc precious smol bean-ification runs rampant around here but i digress #guy who would very easily destroy the world because his surrogate fathers are his world 😝😝🥹

never in my life have I in any way given a shit about a fanchild but by god @toadscools caught me off guard at 3am and got me to invent this boy. his name is Loch, they found him in the lake, he is absolutely an actual fae child, and he is sustained by creating problems for others. I love him.

#he looks Exactly like merlin #because he fuckin. changeling shapeshifted into him as a baby and never went back #BUT #and this is so important #he calls arthur da but will only refer to merlin by name #this causes a great deal of confusion for others #also I cannot stress enough how good of a dad arthur is I cannot impress that deeply enough on you #oh yeah also- lancelot is constantly trying to bond with him about being Lake Boys. it does not take.#personal #spaceman.art #spaceman.merlin #merlin #merthur #fankid #arthur pendragon #bbc merlin #merlin bbc

Also a fun reminder!

If you want to see more of something specific, nothing helps your case better than reblogging and sharing some nice comments ;)

When you support work you like, you’ll get more of it!

#this goes for all writers #and I’m not like trying to beg for reblogs #that initial post was a rambling #but like if you like the content I make about a character #reblog those posts! tell me you want more! send me asks!#support my ao3!#not mad at all since I will constantly always post about said little guy #but if you enjoy something I cannot stress enough how important it is to let that person know #I get paid in comments and reblogs people!

i am once again disappointed but not surprised at the COD fandom only caring about “sensitivity” when it’s convenient for them

#telling people it’s morally wrong to simp for makarov #whilst simping for graves or valeria #or ANY character in this damn series #just shows that you only give a shit about ‘sensitivity’ when it doesn’t inconvenience you #‘but he’s bad :(’ my brother in christ. let’s talk about western militaries #price nikolai and gaz literally kidnapped and tortured an innocent woman and child #the UK and US militaries have DEVASTATED vulnerable countries #y’all wanna talk about sensitivity?? then acknowledge how even the ‘good’ characters like the 141 are shitty!#none of these characters are good people!#i cannot stress this enough. eliminating characters because they’re ‘problematic’ eliminates the entire cast. every single one of them.#MAYBE farah would be safe?? i’m not knowledgeable enough to say for certain. but everyone else— 141. los vaqueros. laswell. alex. nikolai. +#valeria. graves. every last warzone operator. EVERY single character is ‘off-limits’ with that logic.#COD fandom is also horribly racist despite pretending it’s not. notice how people only talk about this when it’s white folks being impacted #no one gave a shit when a middle eastern woman and child were kidnapped and tortured. or when fans were romanticizing cartel violence.#or how the SAS CIA and Delta Force have histories of terrorizing vulnerable people; especially in the middle east and asia #i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again before anyone accuses me of smth false:#sensitivity is important. it can co-exist with letting people enjoy problematic things. the source itself is problematic —#ergo. everything that comes from it (even the ‘good’ things) is as well.#you can’t cherry pick which characters people are allowed to be critical of. you can have your faves and have the ones you dislike #but don’t act like you’re doing something noble when your sensitivity is biased.#sylph.talks
