question 2 my followers: what’s the most obscure piece of media you’ve ever developed a fixation with? not obscure as in “at one point had a reasonably thriving fandom that eventually faded” but something you feel you were almost entirely alone in your appreciation for

Poem from The Backwater Sermons by Jay Hulme.

[ID: Photo of a poem from a book.

Jesus at the Gay Bar

He’s here in the midst of it - right at the centre of the dance floor, robes hitched up to His knees to make it easy to spin.

At some point in the evening a boy will touch the hem of His robe and beg to be healed, beg to be anything other than this;

And He will reach His arms out, sweat-damp, and weary from dance. He’ll cup this boys face in His hand and say,

my beautiful child there is nothing in this heart of yours that ever needs to be healed.

End ID.]

the "trans women hate trans men because they are more visible/have it better in society due to being men/trans men are inherently ugly shitty garbage rage monster trash and they deserve to be hated" rhetoric never came from trans women, it came from men hating terfs who don't want ""women"" to transition and become icky men. their solution was to try to make trans women look hostile and angry toward trans men and make both sides feel uncomfortable around one another, thus, creating tension and destroying unity in the community.

trans women and trans men in reality bond over trading clothes, talking about how their dysphoria contrasts, offering to give the other their tits/genitals, teaching how clothing sizes work for the other 'sex', offering advice on makeup and skin care, taking each other to appointments to get HRT and gender affirming procedures/surgeries, teaching each other how to shave, dressing up and going out into public as their proper genders together, and so much more.

trans women and trans men historically have extremely beautiful and powerful bonds that help us become more happy, healthy, and capable of being who we are. we historically and currently one another very deeply. the solidarity will never die.

Necromancy but like…catholic. Skeletons polished to a marble-like perfection, or filigreed in gold. Zombies with wounds that bleed light or molten metal, and have strangely peaceful expressions despite potentially horrific injury. Anything reanimated gets a halo and the sound of an otherworldly chorus leaks from their presence.

[transmechanicus]

Settings love having Necromancy be spooky or evil but actually this time it’s borderline required, like The God explicitly instructed you on how to do it and it works through holy power.

also not to be a bagel-eating cunt on main but i’m still… baffled by how certain tumblr circles were so set on blaming this sorry state of the arts and the general cultural decay on. fucking fanfiction. out of all things! when algorithm-worshipping tv execs and film studios and publishing companies are literally right there! it’s the galloping monopolization and privatization of art — resulting from unchecked capitalism and resulting in an endless stream of easy-to-consume yet mindless and fundamentally unsatisfactory content — that is your enemy, not some depressed college students publishing their novel-length destiel erotica on ao3. jesus

“Sorry I don’t want to spend my precious free time reading a 400 page Russian novel about depression”

“Film bros when you tell them you like having fun instead of watching a 1923 Greek film about divorce”

Okay so like I’ve already talked extensively about people who say this shit are largely shadowboxing against their insecurities about not having what they perceive to be elevated tastes rather than addressing any meaningful “gatekeeping” in the broad realm of media consumption as a whole, so rather than that I’d like to ask why everyone who says shit like this feels a need to emphasize the foreignness of a particular work as another aspect of how undesirable it is to engage with.

Like obviously these people are not literally saying “lmao I’d NEVER read a Russian/Greek/whatever book” but once you start noticing this you start seeing it everywhere and idk man! Not a fan

I really wish allosexuals would understand that there ARE asexual stereotypes that revolve around the idea of us being sexual ‘degenerates.“

For one example, consider the image of the NEET/incel who is so addicted to hentai that he’s lost all interest in real women (a stereotype that, in many areas, also comes with feminisation fear; many of those hentai games are pretty darn girly).

Or, for another, that of the older man who lives alone - and since he has no interest in marrying, he obviously MUST have some kind of perveted violent interest in children or animals or the like.

Not to mention that in spaces that are aware BDSM doesn’t always involve sexual contact, there’s the fear around people (of all genders) being so perverted they only want to be humiliate or sexually degrade others, intead of making real intimate connections with ‘normal’ sex.

Asexuals are not in any way immune to sexual shame or being perceived as perverts. This is not a ‘privilege’ we hold over gay/bi people.

i have never considered this but you’re right! i once heard someone described as creepy because they watched porn without masturbating, just staring blankly, and i thought “wait, i do that… am i creepy?”

I think a lot of people underestimate how essential a dash of wild tonal dissonance is to the classic JRPG experience. Going directly from engaging in high-stakes politicking to doing a Three Stooges routine with a sapient octopus or following up a life-or-death battle against a star-spawned elder god with an inexplicable beach episode where you exchange catty barbs with the career war criminal who was performing medical experiments on your party healer earlier that morning isn’t just a sideshow, it’s part of what makes the whole thing work.

[prokopetz]

(This is also where most Western titles that try to parody the classic JRPG formula all short. They’re up there shouting “look at us, we’re IRREVERENT” while failing to achieve the level of casual absurdism that their source material indulges in as a matter of course!)
