#im very obviously a lesbian rn

[lavenderedhoney]

using t gel! started at a low dose, but moved up to the full ""masculinizing"" dose a few months ago. it's been really great! i don't bind and don't want top surgery, my goal is a deeper voice (started v high), and more body hair. my muscles are sturdier, which is really nice, and i used topical minoxidil to prevent male pattern hair loss. started in may of 2023! feel free 2 ask specific questions :3

Thank you so much!! My main goal is bottom growth, and it'd be nice to have a slightly lower voice and more muscle mass too, but I'm not looking for any other changes so I think I definitely want to try a low dose first. But I guess we'll see what happens once I start seeing results and how I feel about them!

#im definitely not interested in ever passing as a man #tbh if it werent a matter of like. safety id pursue the lower voice and the muscle mass more aggressively #but the current political climate in the states has me pretty scared to be visibly trans rn #im already very obviously a lesbian *and* i work with kids and that alone is scary enough lmao #reply #efficacie #t diary

ive been puzzling over this for a while but i feel like fiammetta is misplaced here, maybe too high? does anyone have any opinions

my thoughts:

texas: will dominate anyone in the polycule, anytime. she fucks hard and often. knows what shes doing. big cock too. the obvious top of the ladder here

mostima: likes to feel like shes pulling the strings, teases the FUCK out of basically everyone. would be godlike at edging

lappland: obviously loves being dominated by texas, but is a tease and i think would have a lot of fun with texas's other partners as well. laughing maniacally regardless of whos on top

croissant: silly. versatile. can probably play either role. canonically very strong but im not really sure what this implies. kinda wish i got to know her better (working on building her rn but e2ing a bunch of units left me super broke so i dont have all her info yet)

exusiai: LOVES bottoming. i get the impression that she would giggle a lot. just very sillygoofy and having fun regardless of what shes doing. maybe on the vanilla side but very open minded

sora: BOTTOM ALERT 🚨 BOTTOM ALERT 🚨texas DESTROYS her ass 🚨

that brings us to fiammetta. both trying very hard constantly to keep mostima under control and also angry as fuck all the time. mostima is capable of emotionally disarming her, but probably doesnt do it all the time because she likes fiammettas bratty side. i get the impression that exusiai might do something similar to her? fia might go ham on exu though. who knows

HOWEVER

i think fia would have a lot of fun domming lappland or croissant, or even texas given the right mood/circumstances. what an interesting conundrum. does anyone have any thoughts about nasty transgender lesbian penguin logistics sex. i am REALLY hoping im not the only one in whose brain this topic lives absolutely rent free

hey so ik you JUST got an ask about the waves but. can i ask about the waves too

okay so virginia woolf is like FAMOUS for her feminist novels and to me it almost seems like the waves is the odd one out. i just reread it (and annotated, and underlined, and highlighted, and tabbed, and pronounced it one of my favorite books because HOW COULD YOU NOT ITS SO WONDERFUL AND THOUGHT-PROVOKINGG AND POETIC) and although i love it the female characters seem to have more stereotypically feminine roles. i checked the introduction of my copy (intro by molly hite) and saw that it said "The Waves did not offer such exemplary female characters or themes: Indeed, it gave its female characters stereotypical feminine persuits, while its male characters were writers and also active in the public sphere."

there wasn't much elaboration in the intro however (i might be wrong about this though, i lowkey hate reading introductions it's my fatal flaw i'm sorry) except that later on feminists re-examined the waves and looked at subtext. (like how rhoda is a lesbian icon now bc of the mrs lambert passage)

but still, susan is housewife and mother, a stereotypically feminine role (i adore susan but analyzing characters sometimes means discarding some emotional connection for me) and jinny is the romantic sensualist. idk i love jinny and susan but yk i'm just thinking about their roles specifically regarding gender roles HELP IDK I'M PROBABLY MAKING A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF RN AND AM MISUNDERSTANDING SMTH REALLY MAJOR IM SORRY

i was just wondering your thoughts on this?? i mean i just stumbled across your tumblr a few days ago from this other (kind of boring but likes-the-waves-too) blog and you seem to have really interesting opinions abt the waves !! no pressure to respond obv

Hi!! I’m about to get on a plane to London so I will see if I’m able to get all my thoughts out in time. I’ll begin by saying that I’ve read a fairly considerable body of scholarship surrounding the waves, but none of that was particularly feminism-focused scholarship (it was primarily formalism, biographical crit, and analyses of spirituality, science, & metaphysics in the novel with some post colonialism thrown in), so most of this is based off of my personal analysis and discussions I’ve had with my Virginia Woolf professor. I actually love the women in The Waves, but I think a pivotal starting point is the understanding that all of the characters in The Waves function as concepts and ideas first and as actual people second. With that said, I think it is notable that there is not a female artistic/scholarly presence in the book beyond the vaguely mentioned, never-named woman writing in her room (often viewed as being Woolf herself). Originally The Waves included a narrator character that was female and felt very much like a stand-in for Woolf, and I wonder if that was meant to sort of be the female writer/intellectual presence in the novel but got cut to make the book cleaner. Regardless, each of the women are functioning both as archetypes and commentary on their archetypes.

Jinny is probably the least obviously a critique, but I think you definitely very clearly still get it in some moments where she links sexuality and sensuality with violence and objectification.

I also read some criticism that discusses how Jinny as a character can be seen as combatting the solipsism in the book by conveying the possibility and beauty of living physically in one’s own being & that the flesh cannot be ignored, finding a kind of power and importance in the female body (which feels very cixous second wave feminism). Overall, though, I think it’s a discredit to Woolf to not view Jimmy as an explicit examination of her archetype.

Rhoda & Susan are my girls and my favorite characters in the entire novel. If Susan is not just the most brilliant and breathtaking critique of the wife-mother expectation of women of the time what is. One of the most heartbreaking passages in the entire book to me is when Susan, who found freedom and joy in nature and movement and being one with the outside world (exacerbated by continuous connections between her and animals & nature), is confined to moving exclusively between the rooms of her house. She even immediately evokes the image of the dead mother as she goes.

Susan also holds so so so much anger, like violent fury, the exact opposite of what one would expect from the perfect housewife, and her motherhood is portrayed really as something more animalistic than anything. I also love that her husband is like completely irrelevant to both her and the book; even though becoming a housewife is a horrible restraint placed upon her I think Woolf is playing with expectations by the husband being a nameless shadow and just a vehicle for Susan to get her child (AND functioning as a commentary on the absence of men’s presence and aid in the domestic sphere). I think knowing about Woolf’s opinion of motherhood (continued horror & fascination by it) and her complex feelings surrounding her sister’s motherhood rly adds to understanding why Susan is Like That and so fierce in her nurturing. I also love the passage early on where Susan talks about crumpling the calendar pages in balls and discarding them, her vengeant war against time itself.

RHODA!!! I’m literally getting a Rhoda tattoo that’s my girl my girl!!!!!!! She is psychosis she is transcendence and isolation and mirrors and the waves itself my god. Rhoda is the moon tarot Rhoda is Inland Empire from disco elysium. There is a very fragile membrane between the characters of the waves and Something Larger (my whole capstone paper was on occult spirituality in the waves and my planned future masters thesis will be on ghosts and souls in Woolf’s work), maybe God or the Universe but symbolized in the novel as the ocean of which the characters function as individual waves, but Rhoda is the one for whom this membrane is the most frayed. I honestly don’t know if I have much to say about Rhoda from a feminist perspective other than I find her fascinating and that while I don’t usually encourage overly biographical readings of Woolf it becomes very very apparent if you know Woolf’s diaries and letters well that Rhoda is a mirror of Woolf’s own periods of poor mental health. I guess it relates in that to me Rhoda is of course a woman because she is the most explicitly connected to Woolf herself (in Hermione Lee’s biography, she presents the reading of each of the characters of the waves as members of the Bloomsbury group and Rhoda is picked out as the Woolf parallel. I don’t agree with this reading but it is significant to me how immediately Rhoda is identifiable with Woolf). Okay I’m about to board my flight but if you want to talk any more about the waves or have more specific questions about anything I said let me know!!!

RHODA YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!!!

#the waves #Virginia Woolf #this is so long but basically uh the women in the waves rock #my prof would have more to say about jimmy and feminism in particular that’s more her purview but !! here’s what I have to say

[minimitchell]

am i the only one that thinks the pr thing has been over dramatic?? and the reaction to it.

yes callum should be involved more but thats the writers fault, callums character is quite constrained and his job doesnt help either (long hours away. police station not situated on the square)

but callum being referred to dad 3 makes sense as dad 1 is ben her biological dad , dad 2 is jay as hes been on the square longer than callum and knows lola etc. even lexi has acknowledged callum. no one has brushed him away

at the end of the day no matter who is in charge of lexi, ben wont keep her away from jay and jay wont keep her away from ben. they can all see each other and jay is currently living w/ben

i dont know how to feel with people calling ee homophobic, im a gay dude and i really see nothing homophobic happening but maybe im missing something??? if ee was homophobic then ben and callum would have never happened, they would have broken them up for good during xmas in 2019.

idk i just feel like people need to take a breather regarding this.

i agree to some degree. i think the optics of the entire pr sl are really questionable and it does have the unfortunate aftertaste that gay parents are somehow seen as less. i think ee generally doesn’t treat their lgbti+ characters the best, regardless of this sl. many aspects have homophobic undertones whether they intend it or not, same with biphobic undertones (reiss comments that were played for laughs) and lesbophobia (treatment of lesbian characters). they aren’t homophobic for this sl, they convey phobic messages in general. people are just louder rn because ballum are affected by this.

on the other hand i agree that this entire sl and discussion has been inflated artificially by the fandom. callum’s absence, albeit annoying and infuriating in parts, is sadly necessary for the story to work and reach a boiling point. same with billy’s absence in this sl by the way. it’s not some elaborate conspiracy to get rid of ballum or tony. callum’s obviously set up to be involved in the six sl and he’s on as many eps as suki is, yet no one would say she’s being phased out. some parts of the fandom have become too emotionally invested and convinced of this narrative that no positive aspect of this story or any logical explanation is being considered anymore. it’s become a very toxic negativity in parts.

it has also unfortunately led to the fact that ben and his ed have once again become the less discussed part of his own storyline. last year, some people in the fandom were so vocal in their narrative that discussion around the r*pe sl became almost entirely about callum and when he would find out (ee was called homophobic then too, remember) to the point where a website was made to count down to it. it overshadowed ben’s development (good and bad) completely and the same is being done to the ed sl right now. sorry but i think the focus this week should be on ben and his breakdown and eventual recovery, something we’ve been asking for for years. it simply isn’t and shouldn’t be about callum right now.

#ask #sorry for the rant anon #but this topic is very complex and there are a lot of things to be said and on my mind about this #btw i’m not policing anyone or saying people shouldn’t be talking about their displeasure with the sl #please do to let she show know this is the image they’re conveying. intentionally or not #i’m just saying that discussion about this has become very toxicly negative lately #and we all know that i’m not a fan of it either. but it has reached mass hysteria status where callum fans fan the flames unnecessarily

[fagcrisis]

i could fag it up in there. actually on the subject of fagging it up until pretty recently i used to train in sambo which was fun but also i was like very obviously gay and everyone else was either a wannabe toughguy or like an old man who used to be in the red army and now is trying to keep in shape. but the trainer (? i don't know in english) (also red army guy) (bit of a dictator) liked me because i heart tyrant coaches. so it was tough boys and old men and a gay teacher's pet who a couple of times accidentally sheherred the trainer to his face. my long con is to make martial arts a gay thing

i do kagami ryu rn and the audience of that is less wannabe toughguys and more huge weebs, also im fairly sure at least one guy there is gay bc i found out he likes kiss him not me and no way a straight man watches that show. anyway we are making martial arts a gay thing!! idk if anyone else rembers this post but agesss ago there was a post floating about where someones lesbian friend was like lonely lesbians should do martial arts bc its an environment where u can consensually touch people and be touched and also ask 2 stop at any point. and like im not a lesbian but thats so real cos i feel like everyone is so isolated but especially gay people need to like have that moment where ur sort of allowed to touch people in a context thats not neccesarily intimate. anyway. gay people should do martial arts we r fagging this place up!!!

hi sorry this is outta nowhere but i would love to hear ur thoughts on harry (phone

SORRY ANON I LEGIT FORGOT ABT THIS ASK and im too lazy to draw her fr so heres some fanart i drew of her dying in a glue trap

this time i have a bit more thoughts on her as an actual character so ill start w that before the headcanon dump ... also, throughout this post ill be referring to her w she/her pronouns because of a personal headcanon im VERY attached to. all i ask is any rbs or further questions abt my specific vision of her use those same pronouns... in others posts i do not care obviously. also, this post is specifically abt her in the dsaf universe since shes far more substantial there.

firstly, i should say i ADORE harry. she is one of my biggest comfort characters in a series where almost everybody is one for me. so when i give any criticisms, know its out of love and a wish for some more expansive writing rather than any malice. being critical of media you love is important, etc etc.

my biggest issues with her character really boils down to the lack of acknowledgement abt her being physically disabled. she mentions having a "bad leg" during 3, but its ONLY mentioned that one time, during (i believe) missable dialogue. i understand her not using, like, mobility aids for it since it may be difficult to find suitable stock images (+ all the phonies in that game use the same photos for their bodies, and its totally possible its not something she feels she needs), but it probably shouldve been mentioned or expanded upon more.

i dont believe were given any explanation on how her leg ended up the way it is, or in what way it is. we dont know if she was born with her disability or aquired it later. we dont know if its paralyzed, we dont know if its because of a muscular dystrophy, or anything else. i just wish we were given more info, bcus as it is, it is REALLY easy to look over in favor of, say, her ptsd.

speaking of which, i have some mixed feelings on how her ptsd is portrayed. on one hand, the joke in the restaurant reviews abt her having flashbacks and a subsequent panic attack feels very distasteful, though thankfully this is (i believe) the only instance of this kind of joke at her expense. im glad elsewise it isnt some huge , controlling part of her character - however, again, it IS missable. while one can assume she has it when she discusses her past, i dont believe its explicitly stated UNTIL that review.

tldr; her disability feels poorly handled, mostly from lack of expansion and discussion.

thankfully, though, she is elsewise a very enjoyable character; shes got some really good and funny dialogue, the exposition we get from her about the original managers is really fucking good, and i really wish we heard more abt her experience working with rebecca (and presumably roger)... again, her biggest issues are just not having as much of a spotlight on her as she couldve, but considering the employees arent really the main focus of the game that may be fine actually...

(as an aside, i think about this post every day and cry audibly.)

thus ends the longform musings, onto the silly headcanons;

standard fare queer headcanon dump: trans woman + demisexual lesbian. also, polyamorous. fuck yeah baby steak (ref)

was in a queerplatonic relationship with joe while he was alive, and a romantic one with both tango/terrence (who has some gender fuckery going on as well) and rebecca because i am not immune to homemade lesbianism.

has ptsd in canon, but im adding a "c" in front of that cause aint no way she lived through all of her coworkers (and presumably FRIENDS) dying in such horrific ways and was only affected in the short-term.

autistic! specifically also has the thing i do where i need the time to be a multiple of 5 before i can start doing anything. also has generalized anxiety i think, with a tendency to catastrophize and compensates by insisting to herself everything is toootally fine. definitely NOT going to have a breakdown rn because shes not totally sure that that vending machine is 100% not going to fall on her specifically

probably didnt have many friends as a kid (L) so now she overcompensates by trying to be as charming and polite as possible. wether or not this works in her favor or makes her seem pretentious is a coinflip. (its certainly working on me though!)

has a real soft spot for random niche animals. probably a big salamander and gecko girl. her favorite is the marbled salamander because its cute as hell

slightly off topic everyday i think of how fucking horrific it mustve been for joe to come into work one morning and his best friend just has a phone for a head and extreme memory issues now . literally what the fuck. thats so fucked up

to do a tonal 180... if she was a pokemon trainer shed have a herdier or stoutland as a sort of service dog for walking shorter-medium distances when she rlly doesnt feel like whipping out the cane :.-)

shes so pale its actually ridiculous. bro looks like she hasnt seen the sun in 5 years ... jake pokes a bit of fun for it sometimes

thanks for asking, anon! i love getting excuses to talk about dsaf. i have a lot of thoughts, you know... dont ever friend me on discord my ass will randomly drop either the goofiest or angstiest headcanons at random intervals and i have no real control over whichor when it will be

hello ridi how are u! how's ur sourdough starter! is the weather ok! is the weekend treating you nice... what cookies do you plan on making? what are you reading rn? are you writing anything? do you like long chapters? what's ur deepest secret! what's the best kate bush album (no incorrect answer to this one)! have you watched any new shows or movies recently & what do you think of them? and most importantly pick & choose from these questions the ones you feel like answering like an ask game...

omg hi hello...what a fun ask i feel like ive been stopped by one of those online street interviewer people...but a lovely one obviously...i am okay!! how are you i hope youre well!! sad to announce that my sourdough starter well i killed him didnt i. deliberatelyhe was just getting so needy and i felt like i was working very hard for him for such little reward so in the end i decided to save my flour xx which is fine because i can now use it to make cookies!! brown sugar chocolate chips ones which are beautiful if i can get them right...and if i can get into the kitchen because my dad is in there cooking atm.

this morning i finished chelsea girls by eileen myles!! sort of a memoir/poetry/essay collection non fiction read with a kind of strange tumbling prose at times (brought to mind kerouac a little? but maybe not) so there were bits i liked and bits i didnt but the bits on like the lesbian scene in new york in the 70s and 80s were really interesting!! my next read is going 2 be mr loverman by bernardine evaristo i have the most gorgeous copy : ^ ) i dont mind a long chapter if the books good...i do appreciate small bitty chapters can make long ones feel likea slog but that is a good thing i think. makes u take ur time with a book makes u slow down a bit. as for writing!! i am currently writing the [redacted] au which is going alright now ive started making some actual progress on it now (albeit slowly about. a scene every day and a half) and im really enjoying it!! have been writing some poetry also although i find poetry far more difficult to write so those are likely to never see the light of day but its still fun to try it out : ^ )

best kate bush album i think either the kick inside or the dreaming. the dreaming is incredible and ofc it has suspended in gaffa on it one of my all time favourite songs xx i like hounds of love too although i think that one is a bit overrated just in comparison to some of her other albums. recently i have watched a few films!! velvet goldmine (which i didn't like) and aftersun (which i did), aftersun was incredible i heavily recommend xx oh and my deepest secret...well of course ill never tell.. xoxo gossip girl (<- ive never seen gossip girl). thank u for this ask it was so fun!! please pop back in and let me know how YOU are bab ill make us some tea xx

good omens spoilers. obviously.

feeling very mixed things rn. first of all my favorite characters are anathema and newt (and pepper is up there), and all the cooky characters from season one not being here really changed the vibe of the show. i know this season was more crowley/aziraphale oriented, but it was a really weird tone shift. i just miss dick turpin, the them, the witchhunter army, all the funky stuff that made season one (and the book) so clever and unique.

ok, i really liked a lot of the new characters. muriel was one that i thought was a lot of fun. i liked maggie and nina just fine but overall they were just regular people. in season one, even the humans had crazy personalities that made the show so special. still nice to see lesbians though.

i thought the plotline with the nazis was really weird. like it felt like a setup with no payoff. they're just saying the nazis are still around, or that zombies are now introduced into the world, but with no payoff in the present day? i kept waiting for them, or at least other zombies, to become relevant to the storyline.

the gabriel/beelzebub plotline made me angry. not that it was bad or anything. just didn't like it.

ok clearly ive been skirting around it but the kiss scene. hngngng. i was so shook i paused my screen and just stared at it for like four minutes. then i screamed in a pillow in joy. a few minutes later i was screaming into my pillow in agony. whyyy. im mostly just confused why they ended the show here. definitely didn't like that choice but. oh well.

overall i was really enjoying the new season, even though i was missing some of my faves, but the last couple episodes threw me off. it didn't have the same good omens vibes as season 1. it felt like a weird crowley/aziraphale fanfiction (which is fine. i certainly read enough of that), but the rest of the good omens world was missing.

[manstrans]

the transandrophobia/transmisandry argument is so fucking exhausting because like you don’t really see this in other communities, at least not rn anyway. for example, and as a tmoc the first issue that pops up is obviously on the topic of racism, as a nonblack Latine i would never tell a nonlatine Black person that calling specific antiblack racism antiblackness is wrong or that they’re anti-Latine for it, and likewise a Black person would never say that calling out anti-Latine racism specifically is being antiblack. we both recognise the need to fucking call a spade a spade. it’s important to have the overarching umbrella of “racism” to describe general racism and xenophobia to describe xenophobia, but that doesn’t mean that words like antiblackness, anti-Latine hate, anti-Asian hate, or anti-Indigenous hatred/genocide/erasure are therefore unnecessary. that’s not how it works. but maybe this kind of thing is less common in communities of color because we have more overlap (for example, you can be AfroLatino, but you can’t really be a trans man and a trans woman in the sense of having the lived experiences of BOTH a binary trans man and a binary trans woman, and while bigender trans people who consider both their manhood and their womanhood to be trans do exist, it’s not the same as having your lived experience mesh both worlds together in the same way as being a mixed poc)

so maybe for a closer example, like, yes this was a prominent belief previously on queer tumblr, but now if someone says biphobia is “misplaced homophobia” or something in the year of our lord 2022, i would simply have to laugh because biphobia involves very specific things that aren’t directed at gay men and lesbians (the idea that we’re all cheaters/sluts, that we can’t pick a side or are confused gay/straight people, bi erasure, etc) as well as things that stem from general homophobia… or for example, if someone refused to acknowledge the fact that while homophobia specific to gay men and lesbophobia are related, they do have specific differences in the way they manifest (for example, lesbians having a higher risk of SA from cishets and corrective SA in particular, and being fetishised, while gay men are fetishised it’s in a different way and less mainstream because the cishet male gaze doesn’t allow for it, and gay men have a higher risk of hate crimes resulting in injury or death and not involving SA). and it’s the same with transmisogyny and transmisandry, they both stem from transphobia and misogyny (because newsflash, all transphobia was misogyny the whole time, asshole!), and they have a lot of similarities, but the way that transphobia manifests is different depending on the perceived sex of the victim. recognising the differences is important, and i see a lot of arguments against the use of the term(s) transmisandry or transandrophobia where people (and notably, this is mostly cis people who have no fucking stake in this at all) claim that trans men are saying transmisogyny doesn’t exist or the word is not important, which is far from what any of us have been saying—we’ve been saying that we ALL need language to talk about our specific issues without it being derailed to talk about how transphobia affects other trans people. we just won’t stand to let our issues be silenced or dismissed, because they frequently are and have been since people started even acknowledging trans people exist at all. i’ve met many, MANY people who don’t even know that trans men exist, much less any trans person who isn’t a binary woman or man. now that i pass, when i tell people im trans, if i don’t SPECIFICALLY say something about, like, idk casually mentioning my menstrual cycle or something specific to being transmasculine, ive noticed if i just say to someone “i’m trans” and they know my masculine legally changed name, they ask me what my name is because they assume i must be transfeminine, and the idea that i could be transmasculine doesn’t cross their mind for a damn second.

my point ran away from me a bit here but the point is, you should never, EVER try to take away the language a marginalised group uses to talk about their oppression, even if you’re also marginalised, but especially if you have privilege over them (ie the cis people who are involved in this argument, who, again, greatly outweigh the trans people opposing this language both in number and especially in social privilege, which honestly i think they’re intentionally leveraging both against us to tear the trans community apart because if we can’t stand together we WILL buckle under the weight of cis supremacy). and ESPECIALLY groups that are erased and shoved to the side in discussions of oppression, like bisexuals, intersex people, asexuals/aspecs and aromantics/arospecs, and of course also trans men in particular and transfeminine nonbinary/genderqueer people in particular. honestly noticing the similarities between the treatment of trans men and more visibly ‘masculine’ nonbinary/genderqueer people (including those who are transfeminine or transneutral with masculine secondary sex characteristics) is something that i think could help a lot to bridge the gap, because both trans men/transmascs who aren’t men but can pass as men at least partially, and transfeminine/transneutral nonbinary/gq people who can’t or don’t want to pass as women, are highly erased and silenced in the trans community and the queer community in general, from all sides. but idk. it just feels like we are starting here by asking for help and receiving so much rage and accusations of bigotry simply for asking to be recognised that i honestly worry about if this damage is already beyond repair :(

Thank you for sharing!!!

Yeah there's a lot of problems that some people intentionally exacerbate, but I don't think it's beyond repair even if it can seem like that sometimes

There's a lot of trans people of every demographic who support us! It can just get drowned out sometimes

I think it's important to seek them out so it's easier to form that solidarity

Alright guys let's talk about the Baymax thing

This is just gonna be a mini rant bc I can't form a solid argument rn and im not getting graded on it. I just watched the clip and I have Opinions

1. The pride flag as a shirt. At first I was also like damn, a bit on the nose also no trans people dress like that but okay... However, he is in the clip for such a short amount of time, to distinguish him with a pride flag shirt wasn't such a bad idea, also it eliminates people from saying "oh no they aren't trans it's obviously a lady teehee" it kind of needs to be super obvious as to take away this outcome (it also prevents Disney from recanting this statement as well)

2. Menstruation. I loved turning red, a lot, but it dances around the idea of menstruation and makes a joke out of it as well. A step in the right direction, but has it's issues. The Baymax clip was very mundane about it, yet still empowered our main character. Getting your first period is fucking stressful, it hurts, everyone says "you're a woman now!" Which no, I was fucking 11, it sucked, I was not grown, I was not a women. Periods shouldn't be placed on a pedestal just as much as they shouldn't be embarrassing or considered gross. They did a great job of it

3. It's Disney. Yeah, it's mostly bc of Disney and what they do. Disney owes the LGBTQ+ community so much more than they could ever give. The company is homophobic, transphobic, and actively censors anything that could be considered gay, trans, etc. However, we don't get mad at the owl house for lesbian and nonbinary representation. Sure, it's much more subtle, but the owl house will always be Disney property. We can hate Disney and love the art from creators. These notions can and should exist, we should be fighting Disney, we should also praise the creators of the Baymax show for doing they're due diligence to show that trans people exist, that not only do women get periods but transmasculine people too

It's a really cute short, I wish I had it as a kid. Periods are scary but as a society we need to demystify the concept. Having a children's animated short for it? Amazing stuff

Hi!! I’d like a matchup, if you’re doing them still. My name is mar, my pronouns are she/they/he, and I’m a lesbian but since that terribly limits my options let’s just ignore that. Im a libra sun, Capricorn moon, Scorpio rising (and Scorpio Venus lol), ESTJ 3w4.

My main love language is quality time. I tend to like people who I can also be friends with (I’ve had the episode of falling in love w my best friend lol it’s a universal sapphic experience). People who I can spend fun times with, who share my interests and stuff, because then I feel like I’ll be able to share myself with them. I dont show it outward often but I’m a huge nerd lmaooo

I’m currently double majoring in musical theatre and intl relations. Theatre is a lifelong passion and what I’m looking to make my career, I’ve been in a few productions and they’ve been the greatest experiences of my life. Intl relations is a niche little academic interest (also my parents wanted me to also get a “conventional” major) that combines all my niche little study interests: history, political philosophy and theory, and learning about the different cultures of the world.

I’m also a huge nerd for astrology and personality typology (mbti enneagram etc) I’ve been learning astrology on my own for two years now and it’s fascinating to me. I’ve gotten pretty good at reading birth charts (even have some mysme astrology headcanons) and absolutely LOVE learning anything I can about the subject. It is, to me, a way of understanding not just how people work but also the mechanisms of life itself.

I also like writing, reading, and playing games in my free time. Rn I’m into reading stuff like essays and poetry collections and stuff. And my favorite game to play (the only one I play consistently really lmao) is genshin. I like it’s aesthetics and the lore has me absolutely sucked in. I also sing a lot, and dance. As for activities I like to do: anything social. Going to cafes and bars, going to plays, (unironically) shopping.

I’d say I’m pretty aloof in relationships. I’m really bad at expressing my feelings for the other person, I tend to be a bit insecure on that regard. I like to keep my distance, both physically and emotionally lmao. I’ll talk about whatever with you but it’s hard for me to be actually vulnerable. I struggle with burying my feelings with work and other activities, or disconnecting from the emotional side of the issue by looking at the practical.

My friends all describe me as very funny and I guess I am. I like seeing the humor in things and often point it out, and I don’t take things too seriously at times. I’m also pretty hard to read, but I’d say that’s bc I don’t tend to trust people enough to be truly open with them. I would obviously love for that to happen, though.

It takes a lot for me to fall in love, but when I do, I’m always hooked for a long, long time. I’m like… offhandedly possessive, wanting to spend all day with the person. I also want to know everything about them, like discover them kinda. Tbh I’m not very experienced with love in general (but curiously I write about it a lot).

Anyway that’s all I think is relevant about me idk if it’s a lot or not hehe I’m curious to see the matchup. Love ur stuff!!

I match with you...

Jumin!

It may come as a surprise, or it may not. It's just something about your energy that says that the two of you would mesh well together in your romantic typing. It's because the two of you understand each other better than anybody else ever would. When you are easily misunderstood by other people, it's hard to find that one person who just knows what you're talking about. In this case, when the two of you make eye contact, it's easy to see that you are kindred spirits that have been lost from each other for some time.

You both trust but only when it is necessary. You know when to set boundaries and when to be wary of the people around you. You know how to control yourself in the moment even if the emotions inside of you are going all over the place. You're just the kind of person that needs somebody who can be strong so that you have a moment to be weak. In Vice versa, it would also be important. He never lets himself have a moment with his guard down so would you, it's nice to know that he can do it without fear.

With that said, it's not that hard to imagine that he would have a vetted interest in astrology because it's not all that far off from the dark magic that he normally likes to read about. There's a lot of overlap in these interests so it's something he knows. He may not be as well-versed as you but you can trust that he can easily keep up in a conversation and makes you feel like you have somebody who listens. It's rare to have somebody listen to you when you're talking about something that you're passionate about because people may not understand how much it means to you when you talk about it. He knows what that feels like.

im so gay i don’t know what to do with myself

y’all watching aloto and getting back into fandom is a fuckin blast

i'm having so much fun it’s like right as i was at a lowlowlow point where i really needed something to keep me going this beautiful show fell outta the sky and there’s this beautiful fandom that’s everything i’ve ever wanted in a fandom like actual beautiful real life lesbian shenanigans that really freakin align with what i’ve always wanted and i like

didn’t expect it to give me so many feels

and it’s good it’s really good like i genuinely feel like this show and fandom have been helping me start to find my footing in terms of my identity and what i want romantically/sexually and that’s fucking amazing and beautiful and while there’s obviously some ~jsafkldjdsfl if only i’d had this kind of actual quality queer representation in high school~ feelings i’m just fucking grateful to have it now and grateful that young queerios have it now like squeeeee af about that

but also like

i'm 2 and a half months sober right now and i’m very intentionally not dating bc i know that would be a B.A.D. bad idea for me rn

but it’s liKe I fiNALLY feel like i have some semblance of a sense of what i would want to look for if i were dating people (jesslupe vibes just like all the jesslupe vibes lmfao) and i knowwwwwwwww that on so many levels the smart move rn is just to take this time to come into being the butch i’ve always wanted to be and explore that in a nonsexual context until i’m ready to do that in a way that feels healthy for me but

this

show

just

makes

me

horny

as

fuck

and

i

want

to

date

girls

so

bad

😭

#why am I posting this on the internet dear gawd lmfao #I just need to get it out and shout into the void about all the feelings this fucking show is bringing up for me now #early sobriety is hard ok #this is literally just gay whining lmao #but if anyone resonates like hmu bc i would love to make new fandom friends :)))) #jesslupe #aloto #about izzy #textytext

OOOOO I WANNA KNOW ABOUT YOUR OCS !!!!! tell me about them!! maybe your main oc? aaaah or your fav oc? anything goes <333

YAYAY OFC HII THANK YOU!!! Im very excited to answer this !!!

RN IM THINKING VERY HARD ABT my two guys August & Tuesday ! Suicide talk throughout for their whole deal

Tuesday is an angel who comes to earth for reasons i haven’t,, exactly decided yet which is Unfortunate bc it is kind of a catalyst here. tuesday meets august who is Human and they fall in love! They’re both lesbians who use they/them btw :3

There comes a time where tuesday starts feeling,, Weird. and Bad. they come to the conclusion that they’re being called home to heaven and this leads to,, many many suicide attempts. brutal n gruesome n excessively Human, its not like they can simply Return, which is something that causes august to maybe question that being called home is NOT whats actually going on. they r distraught by the entire situation and dont want to let tuesday go , especially seeing as they r their first love.

There are many different endings for this that i’ve considered!! And i think if i do anything with this i might turn it into a visual novel for that versatility :) But.. major ones are these:

the story of august and tuesday is part truth part fiction, both involved are human and august is actually writing this abt their partner and their story together (both alive!!!!! and safe and well)

tuesday IS actually being called back to heaven within the story, but it’s obviously a big ol metaphor

tuesday is NOT being called back to heaven they just don’t know what being suicidal is. Eventually they figure it out together and get help

tuesday is successful with one of these attempts, perhaps after august agrees to let them go. i dont know what happens from there but i imagine it would have to deal w stuff that im not really prepared for or interested innnn????? So probably not this one ♡

i consider myself an angel sometimes and theyre a good way to express all that! and im really!!!!!!!!! Really interested in having characters w menhera stories/themes/etc!

IF Anyone has any further questions please do . <3 TITLE SUGGESTIONS WELCOME

im the poi2018 anon and I’m back for good unfortunately lmao. nowhere else hits like tumblr :( i will say tho seeing all the new ships has been fun (i was completely offline and not into tv while i got my other degree) there are a lot of than in even 2018 but none of them have the flavour and personality of poi at least to me. like my mutuals are all into the ncishawaii lesbian couple rn and I get it they’re cute but also i need my faves to be a little mean and demented (but convincing unlike the killing eve couple who was demented but hollow to me sacrilege ik lol) lmao not sure what that says about me but whatever. im gonna rewatch poi in the fall but im rereading the unofficial best poi fic sliding towards chaos to get my fix rn

scream. i enjoy killing eve (well not the entire show obviously) but i get what you mean i think dhshshshhs and listen. i haven't seen ncishawaii and i have some mutuals who are into it and i'm happy for everyone who enjoys it but cOULDN'T BE ME. there is something about that couple that makes me roll my eyes it somehow feels very cw?? i cannot put my finger on it. and they seem just happily together with some regular drama going on and i think cheating and idk that sounds boring to me. they're not unwell enough and i cannot imagine myself caring

have you seen yellowjackets? idk if it would be for you bc i think some of the humor and general vibe can be similar to killing eve (or orphan black if you watched it) but it's p much the first time since like 2018 that i see an actual fandom emerge out of a show mainly about women and there's a wide range of shipping possibilities if you missed that 2018 tumblr vibe

when do you plan to rewatch poi exactly? cause i have to wait about 2-3 months but it would be fun to get msgs from someone also rewatching 👀 i very much plan on rereading sliding towards chaos when i reach that point in my rewatch tho you're so right. theeeee best poi fic. i sometimes forget what happened in the show and what happened in the fic it's so good
