really don't have any words but a raw scream for alicent - the girl once too afraid to fly on dragon back with her best friend - responding to being face to face with a righteously furious dragon and rider by putting her body fully in front of her son.

an act not only born out of bravery and love but of the physical sacrifice that she knows all too well, even expects of herself, because that has been her entire life: body, womb, being, her entire personhood in service of king and country and crown, belonging not to herself but others to use as they wish. and this idea of her body not being her own but a tool for others protection, pleasure, power - whatever it may be, is paralleled in all her scenes this episode, brutal as they are. i am undone.

#alicent hightower #rhaenys targaryen #house of the dragon #hotd #literally no one talk to me ever again. i'm. oh my poor poor poor angel girl. the way she moved him behind her expecting them both to die #but wanted to take the brunt of it herself bc that is all she knows. is to let others use her body #i am sobbing how could they DO THIS TO ME. HOW COULD THEY KAKE HER SERVE LIKE THAT. NO

I think Penny's ears are too thin/long to control more than the base muscles, so most of the time they just act like additional locks of hair. If she tried to lift them up the bottom half would just droop down

#hoofology #satyr/bovine ears in general have a good range of motion w/ a lot of natural body language displayed there #but it's important to me that penny's ears are completely motionless like 90% of the time #she manually moves them with her hands if she needs to move them out of the way

'I flirted with the idea that instead of being trans that I was just a cross-dresser (a quirk, I thought, that could be quietly folded into an otherwise average life) and that my dysphoria was sexual in nature, and sexual only. And if my feelings were only sexual, then, I wondered, perhaps I wasn’t actually trans.

I had read about a book called The Man Who Would Be Queen, by a Northwestern University professor who believed that transwomen who were attracted to women were really confused fetishists, they wanted to be women to satisfy an autogynephilia. And though I first read about this book in the context of its debunkment and disparagement, I thought about the electricity of slipping on those tights, zipping up those boots, and a stream of guilt followed. Maybe this professor was right, and maybe I was only a fetishist. Not trans, just a misguided boy.

About a year later, on the Internet, I come across a transwoman who added a unique message to the crowd refuting this professor. Oh, I wish I remember who this woman was, and I wish even more that I could do better than paraphrase her, but I remember her saying something like this: “Well, of course I feel sexy putting on women’s clothing and having a woman’s body. If you feel comfortable in your body for the first time, won’t that probably mean it’ll be the first time you feel comfortable, too, with delighting in your body as a sexual thing?”'

#this quote always moves me almost to tears when i remember it #i'm not a trans woman and i don't share the author's specific experiences with transition #but it really moves me that she frame transition as joyfully giving yourself permission to approach your body #not as something that has to be disciplined and deprived and made small in all these various ways #but as a means for experiencing pleasure and joy and delight and for insisting that our feelings and desires are worth #valuing and exploring and treasuring #i always used to think of prioritizing those things for myself as selfish and irresponsible #but who does it harm to want to experience pleasure in your own body? #it's such a beautifully simple and powerful switch to have flip in your head #and equally why are we forced to deny our own pleasure in transition and anything else related to our bodies in the name of moral rectitude #this is why i get so confused and pissed off when other trans people are fatphobic for example #like why are you so invested in politics of shame and disgust that never had any purpose other than #violently disciplining people as if they've violated moral codes by existing in a body #to say nothing of white people being racist in gay and trans communities #like again this system of violence is foundational to homophobia and transphobia #so why are you acting like it has nothing to do with you #even if you are unmoved by the urgency of other people's suffering which btw you should be moved by #what do you hope to gain by acting a collaborator and handmaiden to those systems #Casey Plett #she really is one of my favorite authors i wish more non-canadians read her #this quote is from a series of columns she did ont transition and every single one is a banger #i love when she talks about the people-pleasing elements of dysphoria and transition denial #she's so sharp about noting how many of us deny our own dysphoria on the grounds that others like and validate our bodies #that's how i always felt during my cis conventionally feminine era #it pleased other people so much and also that reception felt so hollow and joyless to me because i hated it #i get less of that positive feedback but that feels so unimportant next to the joy and pleasure i get to experience #said with the understanding that i'm very privileged in being able to prioritize those things without fear. but it was a switch flip #personal nonsense

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work

unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion

#in some ways it IS the move to go to grad school right out of undergrad #because your body can still sort of operate like a college kid #i’m on about 3ish hours of sleep rn and this morning it felt SO over but now i’ve eaten something and we’re so back #i also don’t really do caffeine. except sometimes i’ll go get one of those panera death lemonades #i might be able to snag a short nap before work #but anyway about seventeen year old emilie. i was thinking abt how she was in that movie solitude and adrien said she was seventeen #WAIT. NO. HE SAID SHE WAS SEVENTEEN IN THAT PHOTO ON HIS DESKTOP NOT IN THE MOVIE #well. okay whatever i’m gonna tell you what i was thinking about anyway #OKAY i’m back i just checked the wikipedia page and then i watched the end of gorizilla. to make sure i’m not lying. because i’m normal. #anyway i was thinking about the solitude film and how it’s super rare and old and obscure and whatever. and how apparently #emilie wrote it herself and andre produced it #and i’m thinking about how gabe was discovered by audrey and that’s how he got his start in the fashion industry #so now i’m like?? did gabe and emilie first meet on the set of solitude? because gabe was designing costumes or whatever? #and that’s how audrey found him? have people already thought about this?? #also i just checked and it doesn’t say emilie’s last name in the credits and also it’s ‘graham films’ with the twin rings logo m #so i’m assuming she’s still emilie graham de vanily at that point #anyway it comes back to seventeen year old emilie because i started imagining seventeen year old runaway emilie having her new life in pari #after escaping her british nobility life #and the first thing she does is write and star in an original movie. of course. #and she meets this repressed bisexual punk upstart costume designer who is so the opposite of everyone she’s ever known #and he’s immediately so unhealthily obsessed with her. which she appreciates. #and then they proceed to have the most toxic doomed evil relationship of all time #also she gets cheated because once gabe gets money he represses himself SO hard that he is now exactly like all the people emilie grew up w #but at least he’s still obsessed with her #this is what i was thinking about during class today. i don’t know how i get anything done either. #ml #anna rambles #asks

[fryandleelasbigfling]

appreciation post for the way leela consistently rests her head on fry’s chest or puts her hand there whenever they’re intimate or even just cuddling <3

#freela #futurama #she loves resting on him!!!! its so cute!!! #leela #fry #anthology of interest 1 #fry and leelas big fling #meanwhile #there might be more i forgot too lol #theres other cute body language consistencies too #like they like to intertwine their legs a bit #and fry always takes her hand in a very sweet way. like he holds it like a delicate baby creature #this show is VERY good with nuances like this #leela always leans in bc fry wants to let her make the move

[brittlebutch]

I genuinely love the way Billie holds herself with my whole heart; more characters need to start doing it like her <3

#N posts stuff #bnt #like i don't think her arms touch her sides at Any point in the whole movie and i Love that for her #relating to the way people move and hold themselves is Not something that happens very often to me it's such a thrill <3 #like her anxious hand clenching in gif 3 AND the stiff-excited way her arms move in the last one &&&& #her excited lip biting and how she smiles all crooked OAUHG just like me fr i love her so much <3 #bill and ted #bill and ted face the music #wilhelmina billie s logan #just noticing as i'm tagging this but it's fun to me how ted introduces his name as ted 'theodore' logan and billie inverts it #thea keeps the 'thea theadora preston' format though. ANYWAY we love autistic body language #billie and thea

blacked out and came to with a document full of macden

#ada speaks #ada writing macden in 2024........ hm #its all dennis introspection but i have a Plan #the funny thing abt macden is that mac is so goddamn dense i can commit to usual den shenanigans #charlie is way too perceptive it doesn't usually work #i will laugh if i manage to post this before any of my longass fics #its. playing with some concepts i have used before (i will say. victoria being conceptualized as an entirely separate person.) #i find den's separation of self really fascinating bc for me the trans experience has been. hm #playing a part for the masses but knowing who i am beneath that #its opposite for dennis but also the same. he doesn't see vicky as himself but he doesn't have a core either #he's a shell hosting her in his body but she also feels like the most authentic version of the self #and thus. gender euphoria. very weird and complicated gender euphoria. #one dennis holds himself back from expressing to its fullest extent #what was i talking about again #oh yeah macden. that's there too. i think probably den's gonna put the moves on mac but i haven't decided how itll go..... #this fic is just dennis doing psych student brain things thinking abt mac and their relationship and breaking it all down

Vaire for @skippo94

Her eyes are supposed to be glass pearls and her skin fabric with embroidered facial features like a doll.

#vaire #silmarillion #jrr tolkien #tolkien #silm art #digital art #my art #shes inspired by those dolls thats just a sack and then either have porcelain arms legs and head #where theres sometimes fabric over if its wood instead of porcelain #cant remember what theyre called just that i had like two when i was little and it was really wired the way the arms and legs moved #sometimes the head had a neck with it #basically she doesnt have a body so to say just some arms a head and torso thats covered up in the fabric that makes up for her body

my mother is like i don’t care if you have a healthy relationship with food and your body i will still do my darnedest best to try and give you an eating disorder by commenting on your food intake when you do eat but also commenting on your food intake when you DONT eat because oops you are so anxious to eat in front of your parents now you simply lose your appetite when you have to have a meal with them

#ed cw #this is. ridiculous i don’t know what her problem is #actually i do it’s that she is and always has been this petite woman and i have always been big and unlike her in every way physically #and the trans thing has only made it worse w her #i feel insane sometimes like i Need to move out so badly #n #to be clear: i have a very healthy relationship with food and even my body since top surgery. it’s just that she keeps commenting on both #in a negative way. and man even the healthiest mindset and knowing she is wrong objectively doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel like shit

Ok so I absolutely love your Hera art.

But

Have you considered

Pink/orange/multicolored Hera

Honestly I feel like warm colors in general just suit her so well.

oh, i don't know! when i ask people to draw hera blue, the reasons for that are: 1) it makes her more immediately recognizable, and 2) i like what it represents! it draws on existing sci-fi imagery of holograms. a projected image of someone who is physically elsewhere. it's associated with water and sky, distance and longing.

physically, i think there are two heras: there's the way people literally perceive her from an outside perspective - formless, or associating her with the hephaestus itself, which is misidentification. i love when people draw eiffel interacting with hera's cameras + monitors very much, but i also think it's clear she feels she's seeing through them, not that she is them. and there's hera as she sees herself in her own mind (and in eiffel's mind, in the finale), where... i really think she just perceives herself as an average, tangible person.

so i don't think she's literally blue, i just think it's a good way to give her a visual presence in art that's closer to her self-perception, while still communicating some sense of distance / disconnect, if that makes sense? if hera had a body and could wear clothes, i think she'd love to try on all sorts of colors!!

#hi i'm so sorry about the delay! you caught me in the middle of eiffel questions #(just moving this part to the tags for clarity but i said before like. i know you mean 'your' as in art done for me of my design #for hera. but i feel like i should still acknowledge all of the wonderful people who have drawn her for me.) #anyway. blue is the hera color to me for all of the above reasons but also that shade of blue looks great with eiffel's bright orange. #i think it can be neat if people give her an orange visor or floating screens etc. to mirror hephaestus uniforms as like. work equipment #and i would love if someone made blue + pink art of hera in like. a trans way. but as a base color to represent her... i don't know #nothing except that shade of blue feels right to me. #i think warm colors would be lovely on her! but i think even that is more effective as like. if she has a body #then it communicates connection and presence and self expression and all of that in contrast. you know. #(though i think she would like blues as well anyway because of that association with the ocean. blue + yellow's a really sunshine-y look.) #thank you for asking!! #and your icon is so cute btw. is that your dog #asks

This is a picture from half a year ago, but it occurred to me yesterday while I was keeping Lilja’s head in place during her second treatment that these animals really have to trust us a hecking lot to just let us do these things to them.

She’s been drugged to stay calm and feel a bit less as her teeth get filed down from being like a staircase to nearly straight (it was bad, now it’s almost good). Machines that make loud noises and vibrate get put in her mouth and there’s weird smelling dust everywhere. Meanwhile her human is gently patting her hair and praising her for staying put, and half an hour later she’s back with Fjara and eating hay like nothing happened.

Same goes for the other 3 (namely Týra, Solita and Ieniemini), who just come walking up to you after all that, asking for a treat (and a brush bc it’s shedding season and they’re all itchy ladies).

I don’t really think about it often, but sometimes it’ll hit me how much they trust that we have their best interests at heart and they know this in their own way.

#brb crying but in a thankful way #anyway Týra is fully okay again (had a freshly broken tooth pulled) #Lilja can actually chew normally again now and with one more treatment she should be normally aligned again #same goes for Solita and Ieniemini! #Hviða and Fjara were both fully alright and only need yearly check ups now #Lilja…Lilja was off worst and had basically spent longer than I like hanging a jaw like a bulldog #lower jaw forward #she couldn’t put it back bc her teeth had been ground down wrong #I could tell at first from the weird squeaky noises she made while chewing #and then lots of shaking of her head and holding the bit #but now at this point in time 1. all her hooves are nice and regular and supporting 2. she can move her jaw normally and 3. her entire body #is physically okay (got checked by a physician yesterday) #she’s mentally happy as well (was a bit down since December (same Lil. same.) #I’ve been making an effort since for both her and me to spend more time with her #I wasn’t well and aside from it taking a toll on me it also took a toll on her #naively I didn’t think my absence would matter #stupidly even. my own sad brain got to me. #lesson learned: horses make happy chemicals in the brain. apparently humans can do that for their horses too. #and now I’m crying again. been doing that a lot lately🥲 #anyway the trust my horses have for us are not something I take for granted and it’s humbling and an honour

I want more Irene and shad lore so bad, what was their relationship like? How were they with their daughter? Do they, in a way still miss eachother? (more on shads part)

like, omg.

#Mcd #minecraft diaries #mcd shad #mcd irene #I feel like they were also kinda swept under the rug #The subject of Irene turning her literal child into a relic wasn’t read up on much #and the impact it had on shad? No need for that because we needa focus on Aphmau #Like no I WANT SHAD #Shad might be one of the only villian characters in mcd that have a actual motive #he wants to avenge his daughter and get back at Irene for what she did to said daughter #It makes sense and it’s interesting #And the way he used the body of aphmaus lover to get to her also shows just how sick he is #It’s great #shad the destroyer #irene the matron #It’s like a “how can you move on but I can’t”

[arowrath]

anyone else feel like people expect them to be way better at being alive than they actually are. like i feel like people expect me to know more about how the world works and be able to do more things and have more skills but i just . dont . like does anyone else feel completely underprepared and inadequate at being a human person with no clue how to begin to learn everything youre lacking or even what youre lacking in the first place. you know

#text #neg #my best friend is the same age as me and she's like. living on her own & working in a field she cares abt & studying things she #loves & doing taxes & going grocery shopping & taking care of herself & making friends #and im like . dropping half my classes cheating on reading quizzes living at home and having panic attacks at the thought of a phone call #like everyone moves at their own pace whatever. but its hard to feel like an adult person wheneveryone around u is way more #capable than u are #i feel like a little kid in an adult body #Sorry i mean im normal

HE FINALLY SAID IT

Van Helsing FINALLY said the v word, FINALLY told Seward what was going on...I mean he did it in a very conversational, nonchalant, Van Helsing sort of way, but! He finally let somebody in on what had happened to Lucy!

I mean this knowledge would have been helpful days and weeks ago, but at least Seward is in a position to understand and believe now... telling Arthur is gonna suck, though.

And god, when Mina finds out... Dracula fucked with the wrong woman's loved ones. He will regret this.

#dracula daily #dracula daily spoilers #dracula #abraham van helsing #john seward #god poor arthur #'sorry Arthur good chum but our dear Lucy is a creature of the night now #we've gotta do some real fucked up shit to her body so she doesn't kill anyone' #i mean granted as I've said I think Lucy would rather have that happen #than be trapped in this undead state #unlike how she was in life #well on her way to killing someone #not like they need to leave the stake in #and not like they need to move her head once it's been separated from the rest of her #....and honestly who wouldn't want a mouthful of garlic forever #garlic is good
