Hi, im...aromanticgold, just call me Gold I guess! He/him pronouns (forgot the include that the first time lol)

This is just a casual blog, I'll ramble about whatever life or video game things that are happening lately.

Games I play/talk about

-Honkai star rail

-pokemon

-Kirby

-xenoblade chronicles

Splatoon!!

And I'm aromantic as you can tell, not aroace though. Still unsure what exactly to put down on the other side, but I'm aromantic and...some amount of heterosexual I guess.

Its so tempting to speak on discourse things, but I know I'll get mauled for being stupid and wrong and tumblr will show me nothing but that for the rest of the day

my predictions for what will happen after ralsei is eventually confirmed to be transfem in the next few chapters:

people will suddenly dig up The Baby Is You and every other thing toby ever said during the homestuck era that could be considered "problematic" and deltarune will become another "Irredeemable Media".

people will suddenly start talking about how the newest chapter probably isn't meant to be canon, and is just supposed to be an extra bonus epilogue, yknow.

people will suddenly decide that deltarune's plot actually made no sense actually, and will say ralsei being trans came from nowhere.

reddit will complain when the new chapters focus on the main characters of the game instead of the new funny meme joke theory character they collectively came up with based on like 2 peices of evidence.

people will still be theorizing about penumbra phantasm years after it was officially deconfirmed.

spamtenna will still be the most popular ship, despite neither of those characters being relevant at all since chapter 3.

someone is gonna make a post saying "dont worry guys you can still headcanon ralsei as transmasc! we are all just playing toys here, none of this actually matters!" and then say "what no you cant headcanon kris as transfem nonbinary, thats erasure!"

someone will post "yeah more trans representation is cool, but it sucks to see the GNC representation be removed" and will forget about Blue and Mettaton.

etc...

[aromanticgold]

....yeah, might be. A third of those things are just things that already happen.

I hope not. But. The internet is like 68 percent shitty people, so probably.

Or it's a loud minority that feels like 68 percent anyways.

When ralsei comes out as a trans woman flowery should come back from the dead, hand her estrogen and say "sorry to keep a lady in waiting" then die again

if you ONLY associate "men" or "masculinity" with negative stuff, then youre not gonna be a good ally to trans masc people. while some transmascs can experience gender euphoria from being associated with the negative parts of masculinity, its not really the best way to give them that. "wow, youre really a man cause <negative male stereotype>" might be funny and stuff, but imagine telling a transfem "wow, youre really a woman cause <negative female stereotype>". while it could give someone gender euphoria but its still a product of bigotry.

if you want to be a better ally to trans men and transmascs, you should probably try to appreciate good qualities of men and masculine people in general.

Being bi and just recently figuring it out, I'm really starting to realize how much it pisses me off that it's somehow accepted in a lot of queer spaces to just write men off as unlovable. It's done to both cis and trans men, and tbh it's really fucking bothering me. Why do we put up with that? Why do we just let people write off almost half the fucking population? It's shit. Just cause it isn't a form of institutional bigotry like misogyny or homophobia doesn't make it right, doesn't mean there's a good reason to hurt people like that.

idk, I just think it's innately wrong to call anybody unlovable for their gender; didn't realize that'd be controversial. At the same time though, treating people as less worthy of care and compassion for something so simple seems to be depressingly normalized, so much so that I didn't always bat an eye at it.

It ain't right, yall deserve love too, and care, and tenderness, and affection. Don't for a second feel that you don't.

Anyhow, rant over I guess; just fucking treat people well.

On Instagram, someone made the argument that trans men should use the women's bathroom because they can't use urinals.

Y'all really know NOTHING about trans men, do you?? 😭

[aromanticgold]

I see where they're coming from.

Like moments ago on a bathroom relayed post I was thinking 'well if they bar you from bathroom surely the women's is fine, everyone's using a stall anyways'

Then I went 'they're men they're not gonna use the women's bathroom you idiot'

Anyways, the boys bathroom has stalls so just use those. Boys bathroom isn't all urinals

I don't think every character ever needs to be shipped with someone maybe they just need to be shipped in some sort of box alone to a location
