'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?”'

-Casey Plett, Consciousness

#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

Okay I’m rewatching jatp (as you do) and it just stumps me every time how Julie can just sight read AT TEMPO without making a single mistake after almost an entire YEAR of not playing??????? OR SINGING? Did she even warm up?? There is seemingly NO SIGN of muscle regression, or loss of technique, LIKE. I don’t think anyone could get their vocal folds to thin out into THAT clean of a chest mix after not singing for a year.

JULIE?????????????

#julie and the phantoms #jatp #julie molina #mine #LIKE. IDK MYBE I’M PROJECTING OR SOMETHING BUT. I DIDN’T SING FOR THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE IN LOCKDOWN AND THEN SOME #WHICH IS MORE THAN A YEAR BUT I’M PRETTY SURE EVEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS MY VOICE WAS NOT AS FIT AS IT WAS BEFORE #THE FACT THAT JULIE STILL RETAINED ALL THAT AGILITY AND DEMONSTRATED SUCH SMOOTH TECHNICAL TRANSITIONS. LIKE. #hang on i can be normal about this just gimme a sec #GIRL DID NOT EVEN WARM UP HER VOICE #I DOUBT SHE COULD EVEN THINK ABOUT WARMING UP IF IT WAS ALREADY SO DIFFICULT FOR HER TO COME UP TO THE PIANO IN MUSIC CLASS THE DAY BEFORE #okay wait i said i would be normal about it and i will be from now on #idk enough about piano to comment on that #but i do know about sight reading and i can tell you sight reading at tempo without error is like. highly highly improbable #even with more consistent and regular practise than Julie has had. I still would NOT START SIGHT READING A 3-4 MINUTE PIECE. AT TEMPO. #JULIE???? #HANDWRITTEN MUSIC NO LESS #THAT’S EVEN HARDER TO SIGHT READ #WHAT ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH #no wonder mrs harrison tried so hard to keep her in music class #i would too if i had a student like that #does Julie even need music class #seems like music class needs her more

extremely annoyed in retrospect how often the phrase 'great whore' was scripted in BE.

#elizabeth was not SO negligible that all and sundry would have called her mother that to like...her face? #she was literally second in line to the throne. #it also would have been more impactful had it been said less like i suppose i could* see henry dudley saying it probably the seymours #(we do actually have contemporary reference tseymour actually referenced it once- 'no words of boleyn' - in a pun ) #but like...kparr? really? #also what she said about khoward...maybe if they had worked in more that her seymour marriage made her unfavorable to the howards? #which would have been helpful were any in the cast. to ground that #tl; dr most contemporary remarks in the aftermath-- even from those not favorable to anne-- like francis bryan #who was arguably instrumental in her downfall #referred to her as 'the late queen' #even apologists of hviii like william thomas as one of edward vi's councilors #referred to her as 'the lady anne' #idk i wish er. they had read more source material on the matter than like. carolly erickson #that's all i have to say.......

fucked up thing about kendall is that he is so scared of becoming his father when it comes to being a parent, he became his mother instead. completely physically and emotionally absent and blaming the other parent for the childrens' problems, because they're in their lives, while never acknowledging how their own absence has contributed to it.

#also that's not even entirely fair to caroline. cause she at least was not running a racist news operation whose supporters #were actively targeting her own child so. somehow kendall is an even worse parent #also i saw a post today that said 'shiv was so scared of marrying someone like her father she married someone like her mother' #which i don't even know that i agree with i think its a . weird comparison and it was mostly based on him telling her #she shouldn't have children. which is less about tom being like caroline and more saying something he knows will hurt her #but i thought it was interesting enough for it to rumble through my brain a bit #anyway. it made me think about this. shiv and ken both running from something (their dad) and running straight into the arms of sth else #they forgot was even an option. forever funhouse mirrors of each other. also in an even realer way - shiv is also #(forced into) slowly becoming her mother in some ways as well as becoming her father the same way kendall is also #what a shocker on the 'children becoming their parents show'. the children are becoming the parents !!!!!! #kendall roy #caroline collingwood #succession

I tried listening to Olivia Rodrigo and I'm sure this is really good for its target audience of Teen Girls Going Through A Breakup but has she actually ever put out a song that isn't about a guy cheating, breaking up with her and moving on to someone else?

like babe he's not coming back it's been 2 years you gotta find something else in your life

#red said #it's not to my taste. tbh #content aside pop music is going through a very early 2000s breathy oversinging phase #hated it with xtina and alanis hate it with ariana and olivia sorry #it's a personal taste thing but to me however hard you go with the backing track that kind of soft pretty vocal style kind of #drags it back into midtempo sludge for me #also tbh it's just extremely normal music. like i went over to her yt bc people were talking about how Weird vampire is #it's not though????? it's super not???? #anyway the only one I've got anything out of is good 4 u cause she sounds more involved and less self-pitying on it #every other Olivia song I've heard sounds kinda the same bc they all have the same earnest self-pity vibe #which is what a lot of people need out of music! music that makes them feel the depth of their anger and sadness! #but idk it's never done it for me i like there to be something of a tongue in cheek or a hysterical edge #i think most of the songs I've heard from her are just too controlled and polished for them to not sound to me #like she's the person who sees you crying cause your partner is in hospital and goes YEAH I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL #MY EX CHEATED ON ME 5 YEARS AGO AND IT REALLY TRAUMATISED ME AND I'M STILL NOT OVER IT and then you have to comfort her #like i recognise she's a 20 year old making music for teenagers so that is. appropriate. #but i struggled with the wallowing then too. were i a Teen at school with Olivia's character i would be so desperate to tell GROW UP #and it's not the lyrics it really is the music #heartbreak is a perfectly good theme to write on but oh my god not every song about it needs to be a mouthful call to arms

i keep seeing people criticising tv shows and movies by being like "i thought x character was bad but im NOT BLAMING the actor i think the actor is GREAT and WONDERFUL i blame the WRITERS and DIRECTORS"

usually this is directed at female characters and characters of colour and like while i understand the impulse to not dunk on actors and actresses who are more likely to be receiving really shitty hate comments just for existing i do think a) the attacks on writers and directors are also really mean and personal sometimes? and also b) this feels incredibly performative

#my peak moment of this is someone who commented on annabeth being black in the percy jackson series #and said it ruined the entire point of her character and made the show basically unwatchable from the get go #and then added “but no hate to leah! shes an amazing actress she's gonna be fantastic!” #and like. fantastic at what. what does that mean #thats an extreme example usually when i see this it's more like #idk like the comment i saw about ghosts cbs which said sam was too cheerful but that rose mciver portrayed her perfectly #and had a lengthy diatribe about how a character being perky and happy was irredeemably terrible writing #and like #how is the actress not a part of that? #what do you think her job is? #her job is not just having a face and saying words in any even halfway decent production the actors are *part* of the writing and direction #film media is a collaborative process #and you can hate the result but like youre rarely gonna be able to single out the one person who caused a thing you hate #and also also. its super obvious that people are just adapting to it being socially less acceptable to bully actors on social media #writers and directors however you can still get away with harassing

anyway i think this isn't going to end up being anything

#atm shes kinda ghosting me so :))) #but generally she takes over 24hrs to respond which . is so frustrating actually like even w rly simple questions #anyway we have a date scheduled on the weekend but we didnt say what were doing or what day specifically #i asked her if she knows what shed like to do yesterday and yh she still hasnt responded #generally like. idk idk. im def more invested but im becoming less invested each day #bc i need the interest to be reciprocated #also same w the cute guy in my dms :( he is...generally cool and hed be a good friend but i dont want him as a partner #but he said he wouldnt talk to me in the capacity of a friend bc attraction ig #which is sad . i wanted a new friend :( i just dont see a long term partner in him #crushposting

thinking about how raph, april, and mikey are less focused on by the fandom than donnie and leo, the only two main characters in rottmnt with white voice actors

#to be clear this is not a “callout” nor am i trying to inspire discourse/attack anybody #it’s just something i’ve been thinking about for a while that i feel deserves more... ig recognition? by the fandom at large #like i know a part of it is definitely the shows’ fault and their own unspoken biases #but i can’t turn a blind eye when i see human versions of the turtles that consistently have see and lee be lighter skinned #even if they are all represented as poc #like to reiterate: this is not a call-out #it could absolutely just be the niche of the fandom that i find myself in (in which this is a massive self report) #and i absolutely need to do better as well!! #but i haven’t seen this talked about as much as i feel it should #esp with april— i mean i already am aware about the fandom bias toward male characters #but it makes it doubly hard for her character which is a shame seeing as she is a queen #+ my fav representation of april in the entirety of the tmnt canon so far #i understand with mikey that it could be excused due to the fact that his character was focused on less #but raph? he has sooo much good characterization that i often see given to leo in fic/fanart #like i said: this is a lot more nuanced than what i’ve talked about #and i am by no means perfect #i just think we as a fandom should at the very least recognize this aspect of ourselves #idk i’m definitely not the best person to be talking about this #but i’ve been turning it over in my head for a while so i figured i might as well just. say it #rottmnt #rottmnt meta #racism #tw racism #internal bias #if anybody has something to add feel free #just like. be civil please? like i don’t think anyone is doing it on purpose (obviously) #just something to be aware of

I called it, Ruan Mei is deranged and shady as hell

#I love her #I also said that she the light cone and the light cone description and her last eidolon and some other things #made her feel almost nonexistent or barely there‚ but not in a Herta and Xueyi kind of way #And it seems I was right too? That line‚ 'Life is so colourful‚ but... it has nothing to do with me' reads to me like that for now #Really digging the way Dr. Ratio contrasts or parallels her. How she talks about keeping a serene mask until the situation is ascertained #and talking about emotions and feelings being able to be analysed and dissected‚ the root of which found #In the promotional video immediately after she says the thing about masks‚ Ratio appears talking precisely about the same thing #It's so cool how both also take advantage in their fighting style of the weaknesses of the enemies #Ruan Mei with the weakness break effect and Ratio with the debuffs #Ruan Mei didn't seem as scornful of Ratio and the Guild as Herta seemed but Ruan Mei is also less open #The leaked line of Ratio about her (I can't recall exactly but it wasn't anything we haven't seen in the new Ruan Mei short‚ #something about how the true intentions of her research are not what she stated and that she is actually the most ambitious member #of the Genius Society)‚ while not truly negative‚ doesn't seem positive either. But he perhaps isn't as callous #as he is when he talks about Herta and Screwllum. Or perhaps he is being even more so #I'm looking forwards to their interactions and the development of the relationship between the Guild and the Society as a whole #But also the dynamics and problems inside the Genius Society itself #They all seem to have their all personal and selfish agenda which could be source of clash‚ whereas the Guild seems more people driven #Even if they have at times pretty ugly methods. Not they the Genius Society doesn't #Ajfjsjd anyway I wonder if the Ratio and Ruan Mei parallels and contrasts will be truly explored or if it will be left in the air #just to sell either character more #But it seems sooo intriguing and so shady and I'm so into how two faces or representation of the same Aeon or under the same drive #could approach a similarish issue. Or how could one view the other. And how in general all that will develop #I've been looking forwards to more insight on the Guild/Genius Society confrontation since very early on haha #I am loving Ruan Mei *sighs* deranged #I talk too much

[colorfuldream]

Say all you want about the Shiver hate but the funniest thing is that people are making those stories addressing the hate with one character feeling so bad for poor Shiver because people are upset at her and the game iykyk

Especially if they include the "I'm so strong and protective" bit only to "subvert" our expectations with the character being upset FOR her and not AT her

Straight up hilarious, can't believe we're doing this unironically

Anyway yeah I'm salty too that she keeps winning and the Splatfests should be regional again but let's be real, this isn't gonna change and we all knew it was gonna happen when we saw the initial reaction for her. Being salty won't change anything, it's time to accept it y'all

#splatoon #Splatoon 3 #frye splatoon #shiver splatoon #big man splatoon #splatfest #ondina's text posts! #we're not making it outta this one lol #the most frustrating thing to me is that she gets over 50% every time and that the fests are only every 2 months so there'll be less to #balance out her win streak #the events feel more unique and special but it makes it worse yk #also her character is arrogant (for the wrong reasons lol) which is fine but it doesn't help when she just keeps winning #just kinda upsets already salty people and makes people like her less #legit when are we getting drama the dialogue is so stale #they've got a great setup for some arguments à la Squid Sisters Fest #I mean Frye getting barely 10% every time... Let her be angry since they're all flawed and we know she's the explosive type who voices her #frustrations #also did y'all notice that Big Betrayal had a second chorus and they didn't show us?! I wanna know what they said... #music popped off ngl it sucks that nintendo doesn't give a damn about Deep Cut #Daybreaker Anthem had NO RIGHT to be confined as a lowly lobby song

[randomnameless]

Replying to @fantasyinvader’s post mentionning how Linhardt and Hanneman are more interested in - especially if you don’t poach them - science than leading the people, or even, the people themselves, I wanted to make a post about Lin’s support with Catherine, which is played as a “for science!” support where Cat is amazed at his dedication to research stuff...

But it has those ominous lines :

But to continue my research without taking this chance to know the truth—what would be the point?

Besides ignorance can breed even greater dangers.

Linhardt wants to know “the Truth” and says ignorance breeds dangers... Which is a reasonable point to make, but this is immediately followed by this :

For example, do you know for whom Thunderbrand was originally crafted?

We’re talking about the “truth” hidden about the relics - which is more dangerous, ignorance or people who know “the truth”??

The goddess.

Catherine replies with an argument of authority, most likely the only Rhea thought would make most people stop thinking too much about the hows of Relics and drop the topic...

But not Linhardt!

Correct. And because of that, everyone just stops thinking about it.

Yes, that’s the point.

No one really knows what the Relic is made of, how it was crafted, or what its very structure may be.

Until we know those things and truly understand the power and the danger Relics hold...

We won't be able to...gain any new knowledge. I'm tired of talking.

^^^^ 

This, this is the reason why that secret was made, and the truth hidden! And while those are, say, reasonable questions to have about “magic weapons”, bear in mind Linhardt’s natural route - i.e. where he isn’t poached - with Catherine is SS, where we later learn Nemesis got “more power” from the corpses of the Nabateans...

(Which can be tied to the WoH and Willy’s war, as depicted in Houses, as he “crushed people who wanted more power”, are we talking about people who knew where and how Nemesis got his shinies and wanted more shinies?)

Linhardt will have this new “knowledge”, but what will he do with that knowledge? What are going to be the consequences? Should that truth be revealed? Would he try to kill a Nabatean to test a theory about Relic making?

This support touches one of the themes completely eluded by the game about Truth and if it should always be shared with the World, or if some truths should be hidden to protect some people -

SS!Linhardt is someone sensible (sort of, he also has this line against SS’s final boss “Well, that's something, isn't it? A shame we must kill her. Consider the research potential...“...) who wouldn’t skin Flayn alive to see if her bones can really be used to make a relic...

But unrecruited Linhardt or even CF!Linhardt doesn’t give a fuck about being sensible or not, fights alongside Baldo’n’Waldi, which raises an entire can of worms, can we really believe Linhardt, who’s passioned by Crests and their applications, would just roll with Baldo’n’Waldi popping up as Crests Beasts, heck, when some of the War Assets are artificially engineered by the Empire, who also makes artificial Crest Stones? Wouldn’t Linhardt try to, idk, know how those “things” are made, and oversee researches himself?

He has the common sense to spare Indech, by not rattling him to Supreme Leader and Hubert in CF, but is it because Indech has no interest for him in CF, so he doesn’t want the battlefield to become more “bothersome” since it’s useless to kill him, or for some reason, wanted to spare him because he’s still the same guy who’s afraid of blood and hates bloodshed, but when it came to Baldo’n’Waldi he cannot give any fucks?

#random thoughts #the more i think about them the less i appreciate the members of the besf at first it was just meh #but then this #maybe it's a side effect from npoes #it's always the same question if humans know what relics are made of will they make more relics or refrain from making any? #given how Fodlan's history shows how some humans are power hungry #what would stop them from slaughtering Seteth to make a shiny bone club? #but the red herring about 'church BaD bcs hides stuff' is stronger than making the player and the cast think about #revealing the truth and its consequences #in a way if CF is a worst case scenario Nabateans trusted humans with their secrets and here they come 1k years later after them #it's a hc at this point i have but willy's reaction when some dude from a tribe said he knew how to make golden weapons was to slaughter #that dude and his entire tribesmen #which of course made Seiros the Warrior furious #but to willy there were no other solutions #FE16 #that's why VW's ending is not satisfying imo #Rhea conveniently dies but what about Flayn and Seteth #Claude wouldn't make relics would he? but what if he tells his children how to make them? #and 1k years we have another Supreme Leader?
