Enjoying the complexity of Shauna Shipman while not being able to stand the sight of her without feeling visceral rage and the need to see her suffer are both truths that can exist at the same time

I wonder if Ryan Gosling knows we're shipping him with Markiplier (vice versa too) and two alien rocks.

But I think a better question is, does the author of the book know? 👁️ 👁️

I saw in a previous post the mention of transmasc monks?

I'm doing a protect for class and if you could give me some sources for that (if medieval, so likely songs making fun of them in this case) that would be lovely!

Very happy to help! Medieval Female-to-Male monks are a really fascinating group of people. Here are a few pieces to get you started :-)

Trans Saints? Early cross-dressing monks and martyrs share similar lives

Early Christian cross-dressing monks are being reclaimed as possible transgender or LGBTQ saints. More than 25 saints share a similar story:

I'm so sorry but whenever I read Jorki's name I read Jerki, so I made an unfunny image about it

(Will revlog it once your reply in case you don't want it, love his design btw! <3)

AHAHA, no worries, it's nothing!

By the way, about his more official name — Jorkel. Meaning: from Old Norse jǫkull — "glacier" ;)

Waiting for the picture 👁👁

Ooh, that's actually pretty interesting!

Anyway, Jerky :]

Once you start noticing the erasure and exclusion of trans mascs in everything from media to academics you can never stop noticing it

[burning-gray-mon]

Back when I was in university we were asked to do a brief research exercise on a health condition impacting a community. Can't remember what I wanted to look at now, but it was something to do with the trans community.

Whatever it was, to put it this way, if there were 10 studies on the trans community as a whole, there were 3 on trans women and trans fems and 0 on trans men and trans mascs, and 0 on nonbinary people. All of the mixed studies were also pretty much useless for my purposes as well because they were all so lopsided.

I think I swapped to a bunch of different things - addiction rates, smoking, depression, mental health in general - nothing that was even roughly equal in looking at all of us. Trans men, trans mascs and nonbinary people are so under researched as to be nonexistent.

To keep this brief since I've rambled a bunch - this is a major issue health wise since we have not a lot of literature on what testosterone does to certain bodies. This can lead to major health complications, not because of the testosterone itself, but because there might be an interaction thats missed or a complication that's not noticed (which is the same for any medication that's under researched on certain bodies. This is not me scaring people off of hrt, this is me pointing out its a medication like any other.)

#the therapist who wrote my permission slip for hrt was a trans man#and during that appointment we talked about the erasure of trans men from basically everything#and i talked about an article i had read a week or so earlier about trans people and hiv#it very in depth about risks prevention treatment etc#except that it exclusively referenced trans women with a single sentence at the end basically saying 'oh trans men are at risk too'#less than a year later i saw that same therapist speaking at an hiv organization fundraising event#he talked about how he had just recently been diagnosed with hiv#and had to sit there while this doctor told him all about how the treatment options had never been tested on trans men#none of them#they knew that the treatment would work#but not how effective it would be in comparison to its effectiveness in other demographics#no idea what kind of side effects he might experience#how it would interact with his body and his hormones#what the long term effects would be#nothing#he had to sit there while his doctor told him he would have to be a guinea pig but its not like he has a choice#the only alternative is dying from aids#that whole thing was kind of a wake up call for me#and i started paying more attention getting tested regularly myself and all that sruff you're supposed to do#and over time i befriended the person who did most of my testing#they were also trans masc and we would talk about this kind of stuff#and i told them i wanted to get on prep but every doctor i asked had a wildly different answer on if i even could take it#which verison i could take etc#and they said that only one form of prep has been approved fot trans men but its never actually been tested on trans men#and that one version isnt good for long term use because it has some pretty serious side effects long term#and they said that they regularly go to conferences and meet with representatives from all these drug companies#and they ask 'wheres the data on trans men' 'when are you doing clinical studies on trans men'#and the answer#every single time is: we have not done any studies on trans men and we have no intention to ever do studies on trans men#this is not some passive result of trans masc invisibility it is an active act of erasure that needs to be recognized as an act of violence

I'm going to be honest, and this is no disrespect to the game itself and its story, which is amazing and I enjoyed, but think about just how STRANGE, out of any context, is the fact that the ONLY 2 languages where Undertale is available and those two are only English and Japanese. There is not a lack of resources of course, or skilled translators either. Toby Fox speaks Japanese, but he did not make the translation himself, he did collaborate with a translator. There are also massive, massive fandoms in other languages, particularly Spanish and Portuguese, so he and the Undertale/Deltarune teams must be, are aware of this. And again, they don't lack in either resources or skills for this, in fact, they could easily translate it to any language

So it was a deliberate, very deliberate, artistic choice to keep Undertale in just two languages, English and Japanese. Now, Toby Fox is an artist and he can do anything he wants. But I want you to think about this choice and what it means. Why would be a developer born and raised in the US would only limit his work to two languages, specifically English AND Japanese?

And before you think I'm only shitting on Toby Fox, let's think about other cases like Va11-hall A, made by Venezuelan creators, also only available in English and Japanese. Or ENA, made by a Peruvian animator and dev (did you know that one?) but only made in English. Far from the only cases either.

I'm not saying that these authors are wrong or don't have their reasons to do this. But I want people to question why they took these decisions. Why are some languages considered the "canon" default, even if they aren't the native language of the authors themselves? Why is there a commercial or even artistic barrier to languages that aren't English, on in this particular sphere, Japanese? ¿Por qué estoy escribiendo este post en inglés?

@staff as a Tumblr user for the last 12+ years, the idea of reblogs turning to "Twitter/Bluesky-like" chains is repulsive beyond comprehension. Tumblr is a blogging website. What makes Tumblr unique is the reblog system, where users can reblog a post to their blog and others can do the same.

What's NOT unique is hiding reblogs behind separate "chains." That just makes navigating this site even worse. Not only that, but it kills engagement.

Listen to the users of this website and DO NOT consider implementing this update @staff
