Hypermobile Françoise anon here! Apologies ahead of time for the long post :]
When Françoise realized she didn't fit being male at all, that was how I felt being female, before I realized I was transmasc. It just didn't work, for lack of better words. Being female just wasn't me. What I didn't explain correctly in my ask was the whole disconnect thing.
Y'know words hard and it being 1am xD
And I remember reading about her wanting to medically transition, and felt a large connection. I honestly cried because I felt so happy for her and cried because I want to someday be in her position, though I want to receive T instead of E.
Also in the last part of your ask, I do absolutely agree with it! For some, labels are freeing. For others, they are a cage. Gender is complex, but it is something that can be explored.
To reiterate: be yourself, do what is best for you and you alone!
hey babe!! nah no apologies needed ever!! also i saw ur other ask and i was not referring to you lmao that was a diff anon and i'm very curious to who it was?? i'll get to answering everything in my inbox soon... i need to write at some point today oops
as i said i think it was my mistake that the intended tone didn't really translate but it doesn't really matter bc it states a fact whichever way you look at it. it's really inspiring to hear that my silly lil writing evokes such strong feelings in my readers bc i actually worry so much that i don't convey enough emotion. sometimes i feel like i lost the part of my brain that allows me to be sentimental, i'm so apathetic irl.
anyway i do hope you can get your gender affirming care soon <3
even though i'm cis i can completely understand and relate to what you mean by something just not working. i tried so hard to be girly bc i wanted male attention. but it just doesn't feel right on me and when i started dressing and acting more butch i instantly felt much more comfortably in my own skin literally and figuratively. if you feel like you have to force yourself into something then it's probably wrong.
if something feels wrong for a day that's a fleeting sensation. i don't mean that in an invalidating way of course, like what i'm saying is that i think ppl need to realize that there's space for fluidity and experimentation without tacking a label on it. but if it's feeling wrong consistently then you should follow your intuition. looking for a label that fits you could be the first step to authentic self expression and self acceptance.
going back to the thing abt forcing an identity though. i feel like kids these days who are trying to figure themselves out are often peer pressured into an extreme flavor of identity politics that ultimately does more harm than good. but i'm not against microlabels literally do whatever you want. i actually love the fact that we're identifying sensations on the spectrums of orientation and finding words for them. i'm pretty conservative with what language i use personally. for example i don't use the word 'queer' bc to me there are better terms, but i'm not gonna say 'akshuly queer is a slur so no one should reclaim it'. i'm never against ppl using descriptors that make them feel empowered and seen.

✨Day 7✨
for the @khoc-week 2021 !
Themes : 1. Home, 2. Genderswap, 3. What was your character creation like ?
Buckle up because this is going to be quite a long one this time around they were all pretty long posts until now but humour me x)
Mikana
Tumblr media
1. For Mikana, spending time with Sakore, her sister and Nox, pretty much her adopted sibling, is the closest feeling to home. When she is with them, darkness, light and all her problems disappeared and she puts all her attention on them.
Tumblr media
2. Genderbend Mikana is... Pretty much just Mikana lmao. He is has aloof and friendly. However, in this men form, you can much clearly see Lea's impact on her design ahaha. He name would maybe something like Miko ?
3. Mikana is the oldest kh character i created. She was created around the end of 2019, start of 2020. i got really invested in kh quick late compared to most,,, Really i first created her because i was, and still am, a big fan of Lea. You can see the inspiration i took from his design from her side hair and bang lmao.
Mikana, like all the character i draw, soon took a life of her own. The more i drew and imagined scenarios with her, the more her personality constructed itself without me realizing it (she is aloof, level-headed, family oriented). I truly build most of it throught an AU of mine named "Magical AU". Her clothing style which is really 70/80's s still on of the thing i like the most about her.
The khocweek2020 also helped a lot (pass time, family ties, short terms and long term goals,...) !
Sika
Tumblr media
1. Eventually in the story, Sika just kinda absorb into the sea salt trio household. She lives with them like the others kids and is just like a sister for them all. However, even in this next found home found family go brrrr she has some difficulties waking up in the morning.
Tumblr media
2. Sika as a boy would just be her sweet self as always. This design ended up turning out much softer and sweet than what I anticipated but I kinda love it. When I was thinking about names, I couldn't really think of much only Soka came to mind at first and that's just a ATLA character lmao so I just kept Sika. I think it's neutral enough to fit a male or female character :D
3. Sika is a special case to say the least. At first, she was one of my fiction character. I never published it anywhere but it was 45 pages long of slice of life of her living in Twilight Town and being Lea and Isa friend,,, Again, herpersonnality build herself up without me thinking much about it (she is bubbly, kind, responsible, ressourceful). But what's truly different about it was that i had her personnality BEFORE i created her appearance. It's really rare for me to do that.
HOWEVER i wasn't satisfied. My writing was too confused... So i scraped all 45 pages of writing i did. i had a hard time doing so because it represented DAYS of work for nothing. I started everything from the beginning. It was then that i truly integrated Orion and Erid properly into the story and created Master Ivi. Some keypoint are still the same but i changed the story quite a lot.
Bunny and Anis
Tumblr media
1. Truly, Anis and Bunny always felt at home whenever they were with each other. This feeling extended to their significant other and close friends as they grew older. Whatever the house, what make them feel home is having the people taht matter to them by their side.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. Bunny and Anis were REALLY a headache to do. Since they are identical twins I feared their genderbend would just look like any another. However, I quickly realized I could use their controsting personalities to my advantage. Bunny genderbend looks like a quiet and successful uncle while Anis genderbend looks like this fun but a bit unhinged aunt you love.
Their names would be Anise for Anis and Hare for Bunny,,,
3. At the beginning, Bunny was simply my Khux player character. I didn't do much art or think much about her or her story. Funnily enough, this is last year khocweek that truly made me flesh her out ! Without it, Bunny would most likely stayed a surface level character. Her name was also mostly a joke but ended up really like it.
When it comes to personality, she mostly have the player personality from KHux and follow the same story. Well except for the final sacrifice (Anis took on this part x)).
Anis was created not too long after last year khocweek. I was simply playing around with the male dressing interface, creating a sort of genderbend of Bunny and... Got attached to the character lmao. With his name, i stayed in the food related realm really i tend to mostly name my character after food... .
His peronnality was mostly created based on the dynamic energic and calm character have. Since Bunny is a very calm and silent person, having a twin brother loud and energetic could make out for funny and ridiculous situation. I really like the dynamic.
Pêche
Tumblr media
1. I have yet to decide a definite end to Pêche's story. Their story is yet to find the comfort in hurt/comfort in the current state of her fanfic x) However I can vaguely imagine that someday, they would be have healed enough to trust the guardians of light.
Tumblr media
2. Genderbend Pêche was really hard for me. Like some might have guessed Pêche's goes with neutral pronouns and have a generally androgyne appearance : the biggest reason is that I get the impression Pêche doesn't identify as anything. They are there suffering but hey they will have help and slowly heal from all the bad things they experienced. So I just altered their body shape a bit and cut their hair ?
3. Pêche wasn't a really serious character at first. For one, she was a fiction character and more importantly a sort of punching ball character. When i felt bad, i wrote her and felt better. But soon enough my brain started to really like her and from there, i couldn't help but fleshed her out. She needed a coherent story. Well coherent doesn't mean simple for me x) her story is a beautiful mess to understand.
Also i wanted to think about some kind of writing prompt i had : What if Xehanort had a student ? Eraqus as some but Xehanort never explicetly said he never had any so my brain went brrrrr ; What or when did Xehanort truly descended into darkness ? The old men is so intense in the game but Eraqus still think of him as good until he dies ??? It means Xehanort was at least okay for a bunch of time then, right ???? ; What if Xehanort succeded in completing a heart ? lmao this one made available so much angst i couldn't pass it,,,
So this is the end of my khocweek. Even with all my preparation I still had to rush the last few drawnings ahah. Anyways I had such a sweets and good week! I rarely have the occasion of talking about my ocs to strangers and have actual reactions. Interactions I get from the khocweek make my heart warms up 🥺 I thanks all the khocweek team and all the other talented participants from the bottom of my hearts 💜💜 I hope to be there next year and see some familiar ocs again 👀

kentucky derby 2021 🐎 🐎
Tumblr media
I had really hoped to get this posted on May 1 for the Derby but alas. I had my heart set on this green suiting but it was $15.99/yard so I waited for it to go on sale. It only hit 30% with 3 weeks to go so I got 1/2 yard but I’m still salty about the price 😑. Then I spent a good hour wandering the fabric aisles looking for a coordinating floral print and had to get into the quilting cottons to find something with a small enough scale. But in the end I think it turned out nicely. Everything else I magically found in the remnants bin or on clearance, even this mint knit for the gloves which was clearly kismet 💅. Except the mint peau de soie which I already have like 2-3 yards of, idek tbh. I legit ended up using 3 different colors of mini buttons for the suit and accessories lmao. I didn’t use this leather cording for the his belt, I used that leather ribbon sheeting I get at HL for $2.50/roll.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I cracked myself up posing this hand holding pic. I feel like they are that overly cutesy couple with the perfectly coordinating outfits that seem effortless but actually sparked at least 5 arguments behind the scenes. 💕💕💕
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So this pattern set came with the pattern for this Asian conical hat so I went with it but tbh I don’t think it’s great for an ostentatious Derby hat. The slope prevented me from getting trim around the full brim. Something to remember for next year because... believe it or not I do have more Derby date patterns. Apparently it was just a thing with small biz Gene pattern companies. 
Tumblr said I only get 10 pics but I also made her a fluffy tulle petticoat with ribbons and rosettes because I just don’t know when to stop I guess.
Tumblr media
This was my first time making an outfit for a male doll and I worried I got in over my head at first. Also I always work from foundation garments up, just to make sure everything fits on top accordingly, and let me tell you nothing is more mind numbing than making a beige cotton men’s dress shirt. Excuse me ~ercu~. Whatever! But it did get better from there and I’m very excited how this came out!! So many tiny details I didn’t expect. I also wanted to share a pic that just like menswear irl his pants have working pockets instead of just fake pocket welts like a lot of the women’s patterns. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I went back and forth on whether the floral vest would be too much and almost made it in the mint to match his tie but I’m glad I went full cornball on this because I think it worked. 
Tumblr media
And then finally I almost had a crisis because this is the only pair of shoes I have for him and the thought of black shoes with this outfit is painful. So I added spats. They help, hopefully someday I can get more shoe styles and colors. 
I think that’s it? 🐎

o96.
Have you ever had a bonfire on the beach? >> Nope. I’ve attended a bonfire in the forest, though, which was quite lovely.
Are you skilled when it comes to working in the kitchen? >> Not particularly. I can do the basics and that’s about it.
When was the last time you went to a campground? >> A few years ago, in Brooklyn.
Do you listen to music while driving? >> Sparrow is the driver and she plays her iPod. We’d switch up but the adapter is a Lightning cable and therefore doesn’t fit my phone. (In Wednesday’s car, the radio does what it wants -- except when Friday’s fucking with it, of course.)
Is there a movie you currently want to see? >> Sure, there are a lot of movies I want to see.
When was the last time you hung out with people younger than you? >> Well, Sparrow’s younger than me.
What is the closest blue object to you? >> A Black Panther blanket.
How much did you spend on your last shopping trip? >> I don’t remember.
Do you wish you had a better cellular plan? >> No, it’s fine for my purposes.
Are you good at buying gifts for people? >> I’d like to think so. I certainly don’t stress out about it as much as most people, which I think has its own benefits.
Would you consider yourself to be generous? >> At times.
Have you ever recieved an autograph from a celebrity? >> Yeah, a couple. But usually I got autographs from band members.
When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? >> I don’t usually laugh hard enough to cry. Hard enough to lose my breath, yeah. Not so much cry.
Are you currently studying for your driver's lisence? >> No, but I did get to drive for the first time last weekend, and it was exhilarating. And not as difficult as I’d convinced myself it must be (so my first thoughts, before I started second-guessing, were right after all)! I’m still leery about getting on the road with actual other drivers, even in small-ass Wayland, but... I’ll get there eventually, I guess.
Have you ever gone over your cellphone plan by accident? >> Yeah, years ago.
Are you in a relationship with the last person you kissed? >> Sure.
Ever done something that at the time didn't bother you, but it did later? >> Yep.
Can you honestly say you've been drunk before? >> I can honestly say that.
Where did you get your last bruise from? >> I don’t remember the last time I was bruised. It takes a lot to bruise me.
Have you ever argued with a person of authority, and won? >> I don’t think so.
Is there a certain color of eyeshadow you prefer, if you wear eyeshadow? >> I like metallic shades.
Have you ever been addicted to mints? >> No, but I am somehow addicted to mint itself. I’m always huffing my lip balm because it has peppermint in it, lmao.
Are you a person that likes to take chances? >> Sure, sometimes.
Would you consider your life to be great right now? >> Sure, why not.
When a friend confides in you with their problems, do you listen? >> Sometimes. If that’s all they expect me to do, is listen, then yeah, it’s a lot easier. It’s when people want me to react a certain way that I have to determine whether I’m in the mood for that or not.
Do you have a piece of technology that should be dead, but it's still going? >> That reminds me of a netbook I used to have, Gilead, that I had to keep resurrecting because I couldn’t afford a new machine. It was definitely on borrowed time and performed horribly but I had no other option. When I finally got enough money to buy JARVIS, literally the day I brought JARVIS home Gilead gave up completely (probably with a sigh of relief, if computers could sigh). It’d done its best for me and finally it could rest. I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated a machine more in my life than I did Gilead, even when I was frustrated with it.
When it rains, does it put the damper on your mood? >> Sometimes. Also, heh, damper.
What was the latest you stayed up in the past week? >> Probably around 1a.
Have you had an awkward situation with someone recently? >> Not to my knowledge.
Do you always seem to be losing your bobbypins? >> I don’t have any in the first place.
When was the last time you found something overwhelming? >> It probably had something to do with sensory overload. Or video games.
Going anywhere next year for vacation? >> I’m not sure, what with Sparrow going back to school and the wedding towards the end of the year.
Ever sent drunk texts? >> I’ve sent texts while intoxicated, but I think even my intoxicated texts were at least coherent. One time I texted Sparrow while tripping and it might have taken me about a half-hour to type it but it came out perfectly clear in the end, so.
Do you remember the dream you had last night? >> No, I just remember the part that had Hallie in it (probably because that’s the last bit that happened before I woke up).
How many dresses do you own? >> About 5 or so.
Do any of your friends seem like a brother or sister to you? >> No. I don’t know what that would feel like, and what would make it different from friendship.
What bothers you more, cigarette smoke or cigar smoke? >> Cigar smoke, it’s more fragrant and harder to breathe through.
What do you think of Leonardo DiCaprio? >> I think he’s neat. The Oscar-related memes were really funny for a while, and then he won one and killed the meme. :p
Have you ever seen a movie that messed with your mind? >> Sure. I used to prefer movies like that. I still kind of do, but I also can’t watch them all the time like I used to.
Do you look good in hats? >> Not most of them. It’s the lack of hair.
Can you see a noticeable difference between DVD and Blueray? >> I can’t, but that’s a personal handicap.
Is there a song you're currently listening to on repeat? >> No.
Are you going to make a mega wish at 11:11 on 11/11/11? >> I don’t think I did.
Speaking of numbers, do you have a lucky one? >> Nah.
What do you think musical artists who use autotune? >> I don’t have an opinion. I prefer not to listen to Autotuned singers most of the time, but I don’t judge them or anything.
Have you ever held hands with someone for no reason? >> There’s always a reason.
Has anything surprised you today? >> I don’t recall.
When was the last time you played a video game? >> I played Pillars of Eternity 2 earlier today. I didn’t think the Beast of Winter DLC would be so tedious and full of annoyingly difficult enemies, but I’m suffering through it because Rymrgand is my goth-god fave.
Have you ever just watched flames from a fire & just thought about things? >> Sure.
Are there any musical albums coming out soon that you can't wait for? >> I don’t even know what albums are due out.
Have you talked to your significant other today? >> Yeah.
Have you ever sat down and eaten an entire cake by yourself? >> Nooooo.
Do you have perfect vision? >> I don’t know if it’s perfect or not, but I do know it’s pretty damn good.
Is there something you want to buy right now? >> Not at this moment. Unless it’s tickets to see Wardruna in Boulder and the matching transportation tickets. :T
Do you know anyone who can speak Gaelic? >> I don’t think I know anyone personally that speaks it fluently.
When it comes to eye color, do you have a preference? >> No.
What was the most unique pet you've owned? >> Vivek used to have a baby krogan. Its name was Snuggles. 
Is your hair currently dyed? >> No.
Has something annoyed you recently? >> Probably.
Do you like Doritos? >> Nope.
When you buy clothes, do you always try them on first? >> Not always. I often regret that, but.
Have you used bugspray recently? >> No.
Do you enjoy swimming in the ocean? >> I enjoy being near the ocean, but I can’t swim, so I usually just stay in the part where the tide flows in.
Have you ever bitten through your lip by accident? >> No.
Are you good at coming up with dares? >> No.
Do you know someone with the last name Brown? >> Probably.
Is there somewhere in the world you would never go? >> War zones, most likely.
Have you ever tried to sew or knit anything? >> Yes. Oftentimes I succeeded.
Has someone ever told you something that left you speechless? >> Probably.
Has something ever happened to you that seemed like it was from a movie? >> Well, yeah.
Do you find yourself to be a believer in love at first sight? >> Not particularly, but I won’t profess to know other people’s experiences.
Or perhaps, do you believe that there's that "someone" out there for you? >> I mean, there’s definitely people out there who mesh well with me. I’m in a relationship with one of those people, so there’s evidence.
Does money really matter to you? >> Of course it does. I like not starving to death in a cardboard box in an alley, after all.
Is there something you want to do, that you swear you will, no matter what? >> I don’t think I can make that sort of promise.
Do you know anyone who is a germaphobe? >> Yes.
Have you ever just laid out and watched the stars? >> No, but I probably should one day.
Is there a song that gets you pumped up no matter what? >> Skindred’s got a couple songs like that. Sound of Madness by Shinedown is another good one.
How about a song that soothes your anger or sadness? >> I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday by David Bowie. I mean, it also makes me sad, but like... a different kind of sad. A sweeter sad.
Have you ever cheated at a card game? >> No.
Tell me what colors you're wearing right now? >> Grey and black.
Have you ever wandered around drunk with your friend? >> Yep. And high, and tripping balls.
Are you longing for the day that you'll be an adult? (If you're not already) >> I am already an adult.

Are you doing anything the day after tomorrow? >> Yeah, hopefully going to the Grand Rapids Public Museum to see the Be the Astronaut exhibit, which I’d been hype as shit for.
Anyone's birthday coming up soon? >> Someone’s, I’m sure. Oh, Vlad’s is towards the end of the month, yeah.

Is there any food within an arm's reach of you right now? >> Yeah.
From where you're sitting, can you touch a wall? >> I could if the back of this futon wasn’t in the way.
Would you ever stand at the bow of a ship & yell I'm the king of the world? >> Maybe, lol.
Do you know anyone who every second word they say seems to be a curse? >> Eh, not really.
Have you recieved a text today that made you go "wtf"? >> No.
When at a restaurant, do you put your napkin on your lap? >> Yeah.
Is there a saying you always seem to be using? >> I don’t know, I can never remember this sort of thing on command.
Are you even feeling the least bit tired? >> Yep. It’s bedtime after this. It’s actually over my bedtime because I underestimated how long it’d take me to get through this.

When it comes to driving, do you know about the 2 second rule? >> I don’t know about that, no.
If given the opportunity, would you ride on a camel? >> Hell yeah, I’d at least try it.

Is there anyone you know who won't get one because of this belief? >> I don’t know anyone like that, no.
When people you know cry, does it make you feel like crying too? >> Nope.
Laughter is universally contageous, right? >> Not necessarily. But I am more likely to laugh when someone else is laughing, because I like to laugh (and find a lot of shit funny).

odds please! for ask thing
1. How do you define your sexuality?i’m bisexual, i also identify as queer3. At what age did you first suspect that you are sexually attracted to other girls?first started realizing i “like like” girls instead of just “like” at 15 I believe?5. Did you have an “aha I like girls” moment or was it more of a gradual realization?gradual realization, i had a whole lot of female actresses and musicians i really admired and then realized i was also attracted to them. then i kinda brushed that aside for a while, thinking that my celeb crushes didn’t count as real crushes, before i also got crushes on girls i knew irl which made me realize i definitely wasn’t straight7. How did you become comfortable with your sexuality?reading posts by bi bloggers on here helped a whole lot, they made me realize that i didn’t have to fit a narrow definition to be “allowed” to call myself bisexual. and as someone who grew up in a conservative environment, i probably wouldn’t have discovered my sexuality when i did without tumblr since i’d never been told before that it was ok to not be straight, and i thank the internet for showing me there are other ways to live life
9. Who was the first person you came out to? How did they take it?it was by text message to a male friend who was the only other bi person i really knew at the time. he was super supportive and we haven’t talked in a while but i’d love to catch up with him someday11. How out are you?out to friends and two family members, but closeted to most of my family. which means i can be gay on tumblr and twitter but not instagram and facebook. funny how that happens13. Was anyone surprised when you came out or did people seem to already know?a few people have been surprised, but these days when i meet someone new i prefer to casually mention my sexuality rather than do a real “coming out” and i don’t normally get any reaction from that15. How soon after meeting someone do you usually tell them about your sexuality?like the last answer, if i feel like i can trust them i’ll just try to slip it into conversation. i don’t have a timeline for when i do it though, it’s just whenever i feel ok doing it17. Have you ever wished you were completely straight?not so much that as just wishing my sexuality could be not a big deal. i’d love to be out to everyone but i know it would cause problems in a lot of my family relationships19. If you are not a lesbian, about what percentage of the time do you find yourself attracted to other girls?i gave up using percentages a while ago but i’m attracted to men and women about the same amount overall21. How often do you find yourself trying to sneak a peek or stare at a cute girl?only all the time because girls are Too Cute to not do that
23. What is your current relationship status?
single af
25. Do you remember anything about the first time you kissed another girl?i’ve kissed one person and she was nonbinary, we were hanging out in her dorm common room when she went for a kiss on the cheek and i was like “well we might as well do one on the lips too”27. What is your ideal first date?wherever we go i want us to be having fun! i love going out for food or drinks but if we don’t have a connection then it’s just us staring at our plates so there’s always that risk of it being too awkward. i’d love for us to try something new where we can talk and laugh while getting to know each other29. How flirty are you?i’m the certified worst at flirting. i’m trying to be more confident but my idea of flirting right now is staring across the room31 Do you want have children someday?no but i want to volunteer with children someday and do something to help make their lives better33. How often are you asked if you have a boyfriend?not often, i think my family is used to me saying no by now lmao35. Have you ever been on your period the same time as a girlfriend?nope (see above, single af)37. Have you ever been in a long distance relationship?nope39. Has a girl ever dumped you for a guy? Have you?nope and nope41. Have you ever had a crush on a straight girl?oh yes43. Would you ever date a trans woman?absolutely45. Where do you think is the best place to meet a potential lover?
a wendy’s parking lot in upstate new york 
somewhere where you can meet people who have a common interest, like a bookstore or a dance class or an lgbt event. but the romantic in me wants to believe that the love of my life could be found anywhere
47. Have you ever cut your hair super short? If not, would you ever want to?have not but would love to! even if i don’t like it i want to be able to say i tried it49. What is your opinion on septum/bull nose piercings?don’t want one for myself, but i think they’re cute51. How muscular are you?not very53. Have you ever been told that you don’t look gay, or that you’re too pretty to be gay?
hasn’t happened to me
55. Do you wear skirts and dresses? If so, how often?i may not consider myself very feminine but i do love how skirts and dresses look on me. so like once or twice a week on average?57. How much jewelry do you typically wear?i go without it a lot but i like wearing a piece of statement jewelry when i think an outfit needs it59.

How well do you feel LGBT women are portrayed on television?i’d like for us to survive to the end of the show for one thing. and not be overly sexualized. i’m glad that we’re seeing more positive and happy depictions like on b99 but we could always use more75. Do you watch any LGBT YouTubers?tbh i don’t really follow any youtubers77. Do you have a favorite LGBT themed blog or website?i follow a lot of gay blogs on here, too many to choose a favorite. and i really like autostraddle.com79. Have you read any LGBT themed literature? If so, do you have any recommendations?
i really need to start reading more lgbt lit, but shoutout to the misfits by james howe which was the first time i ever encountered gay characters in literature. i think it’s important that that book showed a gay boy who was unashamed about liking feminine things and had friends who supported him. i know my young mind was opened a little after i read it. and now that i’m looking it up again it turns out the author is gay which makes it even better!
81. Boobs or butts?Certified Boob Lover (tm)83. Ellen or Portia?
probs ellen
85. Have you ever been to a gay bar or a gay club?no but there’s a gay club that’s popular w people at my school that is on my list! 87. Do you have any LGBT relatives?my sister, no others that i know of89. How outdoorsy are you?i’m definitely more outdoorsy than i used to be! i’ve learned to enjoy a bit of hiking, kayaking, and exploring but i still don’t do well with heat and bugs lol91. How many rainbow items do you own?one rainbow rubber bracelet, and a couple of bi pride items93. Have you ever participated in the National Day of Silence?no, as far as i know it was never a big thing at my school? i knew one or two people who did it95.

Do you play any video games?
well i used to be a hardcore nintendogs player back in the day
101. (on a scale of 1-10, how attractive are...) Women who wear glasses?glasses on girls are GR8 - 10/10103. Women who are covered with piercings?kinda neutral on this, i support women getting the piercings they want but "covered with piercings” isn’t really something i look for in a person - 6/10105. Women with short hair?if you have short hair i am guaranteed gay for you - 10/10107. Tall women (i.e. around 1.83 meters/6 feet or taller)?
*wearing a shirt that says I
109. What does equality mean to you?to me it means i’m treated the same as anyone else and i have all the same opportunites111. Do you eat meat at all?yes113. How do you feel about the terms “woman crush” and “girl crush”?i find them harmful to girls trying to figure out their sexuality bc the implication of a “girl crush” is that all women have crushes on women and that it shouldn’t be taken as serious attraction. that being said i think a not-insignificant amount of women who say stuff like that just haven’t realized yet that they are attracted to women (i was one of them whoops) and i hope we can find ways to talk about the “girl crush” problem that leave room for questioning people to talk about their feelings115. How do you feel when people use the word gay to mean things such as stupid, dumb, boring, or idiotic?i hardly ever hear it anymore but i don’t like it117. What are your views on gender identity and bathroom use?everyone should be able to use the bathroom that they feel safest and most comfortable in, gender neutral bathrooms need to be everywhere, and any lawmakers who want to get in the way of that can fuck outta here119. Have you ever been called a gay slur?nope121. Have you ever been discriminated against because of your sexuality or gender identity? If so, please explain.not like, personally, but the number of people who have said in my presence that they “don’t believe” in bisexuality is Too High123. Americans: How did you feel on June 26, 2015?it was really incredible, i’d been watching as state by state (including my own) had legalized same-sex marriage and suddenly it was all across america. seeing all the love and happiness being poured out on that day was amazing125. Have you ever tried to “pray the gay away”?luckily i’ve never been there, but it breaks my heart to think about people going through that127. What LGBT stereotype do you most disagree with?"bi women are just doing it for male attention” excuse you i’m clearly doing it in the hopes that jenna coleman will fly to the states and elope with me get your facts right129. What advice would you give to a girl who is struggling to figure out her sexuality?
take your time! you don’t have to 100% understand your feelings but please let yourself feel what you feel and remember you are not alone. and i want to be here for questioning girls the same way that other people were there for me when i was questioning so if you need someone to talk to i am always here.

gonna leave this post open for a day or so, spider-man homecoming thoughts under the cut (big spoilers!!)
can’t BELIEVE how cool they managed to make the vulture
like i tend not to read up on these movies before they come out, like ‘here’s who michael keaton is playing’ or ‘here’s the bad guy’ or whatever, bc like...... i’m gonna go see it, i wanna find out Cinematically. but as soon as michael keaton put that fucking fur-lined bomber jacket on i was like Oh Dear, he’s gonna be the senior citizen who robs banks
but he was fucking radbaloney, scary and sort of sympathetic?? a better written villain than the fucking vulture had any right 2 be lmao
very happy with the diversity, not just in the principal cast but also in the crowd scenes. it actually looked like real new york city, as opposed to the homogeneous white supremacist version that filmmakers have been using for far too long
THE
TWIST
HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING, IT WAS SO EFFECTIVE
ned is everything, i’m so proud of my boy
if i think too long about how tony is still working on prototypes for cap’s shield i will collapse in on myself
TONY. OLD DAD MAN. distant dad man. his characterization seemed kind of......... all over the place a bit?? ik that a coming-of-age story trope is like, making the disapproving father figure proud but the way he treated peter was confusing. idk, maybe i am missing something obvious
i really dig how the kids actually dressed like KIDS. like, clothes that didn’t always fit right, peter’s endless supply of nerd shirts (i relate, oh my god, i wore almost exclusively mathlete and ‘if you’re not the solution you’re the precipitate’ and ‘physics: we pull our own mg’ tshirts in high school), mj’s cute-grunge look and Ned’s Hat and all
peter is the least subtle about his Secret Identity, he is taking lessons from barry allen, he’s hanging out JUST OUTSIDE A HOUSE FULL OF HIS CLASSMATES WITH HIS SUIT AND NO MASK. every other sentence he calls himself spider-man. he talks with ned In Public in normal tones of voice about spider-manning. peter. please. keep it in your suit, you’re not even trying
HYPE about may finding out who he is lmao. keeping that shit secret from her is such a staple in the comics, it’s very refreshing that she can be an ally to him
WHEN PETER COMES HOME IN HIS ‘I SURVIVED A TRIP TO NYC’ SHIRT AND HE’S HEARTBROKEN WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES. I HAD NO IDEA A HUMAN COULD LOOK SO SAD. LET ME HUG YOU YOU DARLING BOY, YOU ARE DOING YOUR BEST AND I’M SO PROUD
me every five seconds: what a good boy
PETER IS JUST SO GOOD. HE FEELS SO RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AND HE HAS THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON HIS FIFTEEN Y/O SHOULDERS AND HE’S SUCH A GOOD BOY
i’m tearing up now.just thinking. about what a good boy he is
i can’t believe tony invited him to move upstate and live in like, Avengers Dorm. HE IS A CHILD, TONY. HE HAS AN AUNT AND FRIENDS AND A HOME AND HE HAS TO GO TO SCHOOL. there’s this new trend (even supported in some newer comics - gillen, i want to say? but idr) that tony is Anti-School, college dropout, all his doctorates are honorary etc but he LOVES LEARNING and even as recently as cap civil war gave a ton of grant money to mit students!!!! i KNOW that HE KNOWS how important school is for PETER THE BABY GENIUS
like is it supposed to be viewed as Character Development or Realizing Pete’s Worth that he goes from ‘i have some pull at mit, why don’t you focus on school’ to ‘quit school and avenge full time’??????? what a bad
CAP’S EDUCATIONAL SHORTS. i can’t - i just - this jackass - 
literally thirty seconds before the final stinger i said ‘ ok marvel you know we’re all sticking around, wrap it up’ and then - THE AUDACITY, THE NERVE
he was wearing THE WORST cap costume of all, the one from 2012 avengers until some undetermined time before winter soldier, so am i to understand that within 2 weeks of defrosting the old man the new york public school system (or the NATIONAL public school system????) was like ‘read this, talk to kids about puberty and detention and physical fitness and please look like a complete and utter schmuck while you do it’ ??? give the guy a break i beg you
steve rogers is the guy y ou LEAST want your students to be like, if you are a School Authority. you know that fucker was getting in fights in the hallway and turning in impassioned essays about the poor treatment of non-white non-dudes in america and his long-suffering teacher was like ‘steven this is a math class’ and smoking asthma cigarettes
we now know that ned and peter are star wars nerds, so #confirmed that pete was fucking with old man tony in civil war when he called empire ‘that old movie’??
‘come on peter - come on spider-man - come on spider-man-’ CUE ME CRYING FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS
honestly i want to see tony’s POV of this - not bc he is my fav (he is) but bc i want to see him try to justify all of his bad choices in this movie. I’M STILL STUCK ON THIS. there is no reason not to listen to peter, or to foist him off on happy, when happy relates all the peter stuff to tony anyway!!!! like, ok, tony had the worst dad so he knows how Not To Dad, and i KNOW i am being redundant bc i have ALREADY SAID it is a staple of the coming-of-age genre (and lbr, most Young Superhero stories) that the adults Didn’t Listen when The Kids Were Right, but even if tony is Emotionally Distant, he’s not dumb, and leaving peter out of the loop (’who do you think called the fbi’ - WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL PETER THAT WAS THE PLAN, HE IS A NATURALLY INQUISITIVE YOUNG MAN WHO FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE, YOU SHOULD RELATE, YOU SHOULD KNOW HE IS GOING TO CONTINUE INVESTIGATING) was very very dumb and i am heated about it
mj was CRIMINALLY underused but it looked like they set her up for a bigger role in the next one so /shrug emoji
there was so much absolutely classic parker bailing on shit to save the world, it’s not a spider-man story if his entire social circle isn’t worried he’s doing shady shit and/or always low-key pissed at him for flaking
dong lover cameo was very funny (now we’ve had 2 members of derrick comedy doing mcu cameos, let’s throw some dominic dierkes in the mix) and given that he was credited as aaron davis and mentioned his nephew, COULD IT BE that miles will someday be a part of the mcu, show me That Dude
