#this one is rather beautiful I think

[uncanny-tranny]

I think it's incredibly important to remind folks on testosterone or folks who want to reverse patterned baldness about their options, but man, does it sometimes suck wondering how much of our insecurities about our hair stem from backwards beliefs that to strive towards beauty is not only preferable but "makes you good."

As someone with a rather masculinized body pre-medical transition, patterned baldness has always seemed neutral. Hair is incredibly important (hell, much of my own energy is spent on my hair because I like it), but the pressure to have hair, to have hair the "right way" is something that I absolutely loathe.

I'm not here to judge people who don't want patterned hair loss or baldness, I'm here to say that those traits will never make you lesser. Not only is it neutral, but it is also just as worthy and beautiful.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #this especially goes for folks who may be transfem or trans women experiencing patterned hair loss/baldness #i love you and think you are gorgeous<3 #i mentioned trans folks going on t because that's a lot of my own experience #i already had a somewhat masc hairline before t and now it's just settling in... #...i found that i'm fortunate in that way for having an already masculine body and i think that's why my changes are more... #...like unpacking your house rather than moving to a new home if that makes sense #but i find that the beauty culture around hair adds even more unnecessary stress for those who want or value their hair #i am beauty culture's number one hater

fyi the creator of blue eye samurai is a zionist. definitely shouldn't be supporting that.

I see people are making the rounds to stop the growing enthusiasm for the show. I get it.

Seeing Green's posts (via tumblr, since I don’t have twitter or X or wtv the fuck it’s called today) admittedly made me wince. I don’t agree with or support his views. I also feel their dissonance with the show’s blunt criticism of colonialism.

But.

This will be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t actually agree that condemning a show that has been made by a HUGE team of people, who are most certainly as diverse in their political beliefs as in their cultural backgrounds, because of one person’s few posts on social media is entirely fair or fitting.

Yes, he’s one of the creators, sure, his name is slapped onto the lid, but the show is not him. A show is never one person. AND I’m a Death of The Author believer besides, so. There’s that. 

So I for one will keep on celebrating the show and what it stands for and the themes it explores, because I feel it’s important to have them out there. While also disagreeing with one of its creators’ views. After much thought, I’m comfortable with that complication. You, and many others, may not be. Which is fair. And I urge you to block the tag or unfollow me if the distinction makes you uneasy. 

#i get the need to DO smth from a rather helpless position i do #but i don't think this is it #blue eye samurai #i grew up on buffy man i've learned a thing or two about show creators who don't practice what they preach #that feeling of betrayal #but also the realization that the show is made of all those beautiful beings that believed in it poured their souls into it #not that one white guy #who gets the credit for the whole thing #and then turns out to be a shitbag #also maybe we can stop guilt-tripping ppl for enjoying stuff??

natsume soseki did not say "don't say 'i love you', instead say 'the moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it'" FOR NONE OF YOUS TO WRITE IT INTO UR FICS!!!!!!!!

#BSD FANDOM ESPECIALLY!!! HES OUR GUY!!! HES THERE!!! #i say this very loosely bc like idk how it went #its a rumour that he said this right #but like fomr what i remember #natsume soseki was an incredibly talented translator but i think he preferred writing original novels #but he was one of the pushers of colloqusalised translations rather than direct which was more popular at the time #so one of his students came up to him w a novel translated from english to japanese and in part of it #one of hte characters said 'i love you' #BUT apparently natsume said that wasnt very realistic in japan due to cultural norms (iirc) and saying ' i love you' would seem too intimat #therefore instead of saying that #say something like 'the moon is beautiful tonight isnt it' #ANYWHO USE IT MORE!!!! i watched a kdrama a while back that used that (hype bc the premise was they were at a publishing firm) #and hwen i say ive never thrown myself across the room harder #pretty pretty please use it also do not take this story time as truth im stupid as fuck and also could be completely wrong but im p sure #thats how it went idk #FHDSJKF #lea.txt #bungo stray dogs #bsd #sobbing violently #bungou stray dogs #natsume soseki

the layout of the pilot pad was so much more comforting and cozy and colorful and welcoming and warm,,why did they choose that nasty grimy zero color washed out brutalist dump for the remainder of the show,,,

Dear monkee fans who consumw my content, when im talking about the monkees in my monkeeverse, PLEASE picture this warm and beautiful home for them, because that's what im gonna think of

#the monkees #its just so happy and inviting #it looks more like a home rather than an abandoned wasted building that they just made theirs #i seriously love tjis one so much #like just imagine the normal pad layout. same floorplan n everything but it looks like This #look at that...id love to live there. it makes me feel so comfortable and happy just looking at it #the couch...the beautiful patchwork couch...the hardwood floor. the end tables with lamps and each end #so cozy... #i love their little deck that looks out onto the beach and across the water 😭😭 #the cute tarp on their table..this is so their home. it encompasses a little of each of them i think #please picture this pad always when i speak of them #AND THE RECORD PLAYER ON THE BOOK SHELF!?!?TJIS IS PEAK INTERIOR DESIGN #IT MAKWS ME SO HAPPY

Today’s mood:

Overwhelmed by the scope of the task that is replacing my historical wardrobe and fabric stash. Just in terms of both cost, and how limited the availability of silk and wool at my local fabric stores has become even compared to when I made some of the gowns I lost, and bought some of the fabric

#personal #fireblogging #I keep thinking of things. I still had some more of that Garnet colored silk that I made a ball gown out of for my birthday #I was going to make a day bodice to go with the skirt #I had some beautiful sage green ribbed cotton that I had started a skirt out of and was going to make a matching bodice for that too #Plus they don’t make the olive green silk chiffon I used for the overlay on one of my Regency ballgowns #anymore #and even the things I can rebuy are so expensive… It’s just making me feel rather despairing at the moment #(I don’t do plastic fabrics because I sweat too much in them)

oooh mr wagstaff

Just.

Soundwave dragging Megatronus and Jazz trying to drag Orion to Ratchet because he had to bail them out of a situation again

#maccadam #transformers #i often forget that tfp orion pax was on the tall end of average before his transformation and i blame tfa optimus for it #same as how i forget sometimes that Tarn's mask is not his face abd that the g1 mecha do not have pupils #but i think aligned jazz is around the same height if not a tad taller than Bumblebee so he's rather short so he'd still have a ☆time☆ #another one of the few really good things from rid15: jazz is so fucking beautiful #he's kinda a cop kinda not which is very :/ but so is Bumblebee so. #sideswipe is just that orphaned hoodlum they metaphorically found in the trash can and adopted so he kinda gets a pass #... 1/5th to 1/6th of a pass. #i went on a tangent #tfp megatronus #tfp orion pax #tfp ratchet #who was not pleased to clean their wounds and fix them up #tfp soundwave #rid jazz

@ antis: how does it feel knowing that brad, the traitor and coward, was basically your stand-in on the show?

#based on his reaction to loki and sylvie in ep 2 #him being weirded out by sylki while mobious cheerfully chews on his apple pie like it's nothing was so vindicating #this is by no means confirmed #it's just my subjective opinion #but for me he's every p*ssy on this hellsite who would rather hate on a beautiful ship than just enjoy their own peacefully #to be clear i actually do kinda like brad as a character and i think the actor playing him is really good #it's just hilarious to me that the guy who was trash talking sylki in one episode later horrifically betrayed his comrades in the latest #pro sylki #sylki #sylvie laufeydottir #sylvie #loki spoilers #loki season 2 #loki series #anti sylki bs #loki laufeyson #loki #loki and sylvie #loki sylvie #loki tv #loki tv show #loki x sylvie #sylvie and loki #sylvie x loki #loki s2 #love is a dagger #brad wolfe #rafael casal

beaming everyone on the dashh with good brain day vibes!!! i hope that you all can remember to extend self-compassion to yourself whenever you're feeling down about something 💙

#lizzy speaks #the human brain works in such profound ways i think #lately i've been thinking about that post that was like 'you will always be your oldest friend take care of yourself' #it's definitely a sentiment i agree with and i appreciate how it emphasizes the importance of extending compassion to yourself #you wouldn't say such hurtful things to your friends right? (or at least i'd hope so) #so why would you say it to yourself? #you are your own friend too. and i think everyone has a beautiful soul within themselves. nurture it! water it! feed it good thoughts. #basically i wish everyone a 'i hope that your brain is not your own enemy but rather a friend that you can find comfort in' #things will work themselves out with time. there's beauty in life and you will find small delights to cherish!! i am manifesting it for u!! #and for those who find it difficult to transition from a self-critical mindset to one that's more compassionate and nonjudgmental #i truly think that with time you will be able to rewire your brain to be kinder to yourself. i'm proud of you for taking any first steps :) #there are times in which it feels counterintuitive to go against habits that feel hard-wired... but brains are very malleable littel guys- #with such a wonderful capacity for changing and learning new things. so i hope everyone can learn to be their own best friend! #not to undermine the importance of a support network ofc. that's good too and im all for that!! but i hope everyone remembers to be kind- #not only to others but also to themselves!! you're going to do great out there!! i love you all!! #ive just been thinking about this a lot... i needed to get it out there. you all shine so brightly!!! we shall be fine!!! have a good week! #sorry if this is out of nowhere but if there's anything about me you should know it's that i'm the 'hey dont cry 8 billion people on earth- #ok?' post. idk i just find great joy in knowing others are out there thriving and finding a daily delight yknow i love humanity!!

can i just say it does really annoy me that people will gladly pay like €14 for one month of N*tflix or whatever streaming service but refuse to pay less or the same for youku/iqiyi/wetv and also complain about these services making their shows vip for/after a certain amount of time while we should be thankful they even give us these shows subtitled for free at all

#youku even is 15 euros for 3 months i think #not commenting on the quality of the subtitles bc wetv ones are usually really bad but still #just the entitlement bothers me so much #especially bc everyone hates netflix shows soooo much #but yeha you'd rather pay for badly lit unfinished shows that will be canceled immediately than a fully finished beautiful cdrama ok #vent

It's honestly kind of funny when people in Silm fandom go on about how Tolkien's narrative is biased against Fëanor et al., and meanwhile it's like

Tolkien: his name was Curufinwë Fëanáro and he had raven hair and limpid grey eyes like tears (also like my wife, a major fucking hottie) and he was the greatest craftsman of the Elves and a brilliant linguist, he made the Silmarils and invented the tengwar and so many other things, oh and he had a great body and was an incredible warrior, and he and Galadriel were the most amazing of all the Elves in Elf heaven, and he slammed his door in Morgoth's face, and you wouldn't believe what it took to actually defeat him but it was really cool, guys, there were all these Balrogs and

#you know how tolkien talks breathlessly about how amazing and beautiful and cool túrin is while chronicling his disasters? #that's not him being unfairly biased; that's one of his main ways of showing love for a character #the treatment of denethor is also of this type imo—they're very different people but the basic type #of a very cool and powerful and brilliant and beautiful figure who falls tragically but with a weird kind of glamour #is SO much his type #i think that's a large part of why he kept going back to the narn and trying to get it right #and it's part of why the narrative adores fëanor so much (gandalf: imagine. imagine seeing his hands at work O_O) #it's not an uncritical adoration but that's because the character's fuck-ups are part of the appeal in the first place #and yeah i like túrin and denethor a lot more but it's clear that fëanor is treated as the middle-earth apotheosis of that type #anghraine babbles #legendarium fanwank #legendarium blogging #honestly tolkien's treatment of his characters sort of reminds me of my fantastic dm #who will create involved storylines spinning off from dubious player choices rather than #a) just letting them pass or b) aiming to punish them #for him 'your choice has consequences... so many consequences' is fundamentally affectionate #and i feel like tolkien treats his characters similarly tbh

recently pressed flowers + leaf !!!!!

#saw this one on the floor so perfectly cut ??? she looks like a bouquet!!! #a few days ago i plucked like a chunk of really pretty purple flowers and walked like a good few miles with them in hand but then i got #v embarrassed and shy about the stares i was getting so i just #...gently set them on the sidewalk five minutes away from home anyway i wonder if thats whst happened here too bc they look #too perfectly cut i wonder if someone saw the purple flowers on the sidewalk and asked themselves the same question too it's always #sm better picking flowers off the floor rather than plucking them bc i think there's smth so beautiful about my being here at this moment #right now coinciding with however way this flower came to fall in my path !!! do u get it okay im done now theyre pretty im pretty sure #this dictionary smells of moldy plant but ive been desensitized to it by now
