#which is. a bad way to be radgy. sometimes you're gonna fuck up you can't get so stuck in overthinking you never do anything

[thedreadvampy]

so to recap we're going for eyelets to lace the sleeves on

I've settled on CIS DYKES FOR TRANS RIGHTS as the thing to paint on the back and I think I'm gonna see if I can find some rainbow, trans and bi flag pattern ribbon to frame that and I might put some spikes on there too depending on if I think it'll make my backpack uncomfortable

I have several patch ideas for the front and sleeves including

MORE LIFE embroidered in white over an applique red ribbon

QUEER AS IN FUCK YOUR BORDERS embroidered quite big over a bleach painting background of a swallow breaking through barbed wire

FUCK THE FUCKING TORIES obviously

black patch. small white bird flying at the top. At the bottom, in small lowercase, I THINK I'LL CARRY ON

Bi SCUM flag based on a design @lifetheuniverseandnothing did a while back

My classic rainbow FUCK

Stylised cunt overlaid with the words EAT OUT TO HELP OUT

I am toying with some ideas about a removable spiked pauldron, and planning on attaching some miscellaneous D rings bc miscellaneous D rings are nice to have. Also gonna run a chain across the back and probably a couple across the chest, and spikes on the chest pockets. I think I would also like to write things on the sleeves and cuffs.

if I have time around cooking dinner tonight I wanna mark out and pierce the spots for the eyelets (haven't got enough to actually eyelet them yet), cut the arms off, and make a start on the bleach painting. things like the studding, chains, D rings and patches are all long term stuff but it would be nice to get a bit stuck in while I'm hyped up.

#red said #the slogan was an obvious choice once i said it to jay and they immediately lit up #i have decided my reluctance to call myself a dyke publicly is pretty much entirely Discourse Brain Poisoning #and the thing stopping me being the radgy punk i wanna be is mostly a compulsive need to never say anything wrong #which is. a bad way to be radgy. sometimes you're gonna fuck up you can't get so stuck in overthinking you never do anything #and 5bh CIS DYKES FOR TRANS RIGHTS very much sums up my personal specific part in the Gender Bullshit #cause like. me being cis and queer are really very vital to my relationship to gender and to the whole. i do not want to say question. #fucking. honking great pile of bullshit coming from transphobes. #it's about protecting and loving trans people but my relationship to the struggle is also really closely tied to my own gender identity #which is. cis dyke. among other things. #also you know it rhymes so that's a winner right there #dyke jacket
