Cause I’m still Homestuck trash

Recently watched Encanto and I feel like “Surface Pressure” really deserves to be reimagined to be Darkleer.  Especially the line “I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service” And then “But wait. If I could shake the crushing expectations...” could even be him seeing Disciple for the first time. You could even use GHB imagery for being “A tightrope-walker in a three ring circus” and Dualscar with Mindfang imagery for “The ship doesn’t swerve. Has it heard how big the iceberg is?”

I feel obligated to reblog this every time it shows up in my dash

[hermes-is-my-homeboy]

No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen.

[virgocity]

So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.

[penprp]

Sure why not? Jobs bring in money and prosperity…

[teardroplet]

No harm in reblogging. Entered a contest recently.

I don’t get how in fantasy fiction, the women who actually enjoy sewing/embroidering are always painted as the weak, boring, and anti-feminist characters 

Sewing and embroidery take skill, patience, and artistic talent and it was also the ultimate way to ignore the annoying men in your life in past centuries 

If you didn’t feel like talking to a man, you just “took up your sewing” and he’d have to leave you alone, especially if he needed that shirt mended

Women also got together all the time to sew, weave, embroider but also talk, gossip, assist each other’s work, and enjoy each other’s company in peace 

The skill the female character has doesn’t have to be sword-fighting for her to be strong, because there’s strength and power in any skill she has 

[theredscreech]

I think it was in Brandon Sanderson’s Elantris that one of the main characters took up her sewing a lot when she was surrounded by men because it was her way of finding out what was going on in the Royal Court. The men assumed that she was concentrating so hard on her needlework that they could discuss anything and then, of course, eventually forgot she was there altogether.

I just remember being really impressed by the sheer sneakiness of that.

[shoggoth-the-bitch]

Honestly, I think the best part of this is pointing out that women could gather and basically discuses anything so long as on the surface it looked like they were just doing needle work. 

And while this could be used to gather information, it also makes me think that they could do this just for fun. Gossiping about their partners, sneaking drinks, just sorta being people in a way that they aren’t allowed to be in the company of men.

[chimukyou]

What about a novel with a lesbian protagonist that picks up her sewing any time a suitor comes to woo her and then joins a sewing circle to meet other women?

[alternativemlm]

Billie Joe Armstrong literally wrote a song about coming out as bisexual as a teenager, and then like two years later wrote one that was pretty much all about dressing up in drag and getting fucked by/fucking guys, and y'all STILL say he’s a “straight ally” because he married a woman??

[pavelchekovswig]

[coldwarfem]

The same goes for Freddy Mercury and David Bowie. Both were openly bi. Both wrote (multiple) songs about their queerness. Both are pigeonholed as either “gay” or “straight”. They were both neither of those things.

[flagellant]

hey remember when freddy mercury wrote a literal song about wanting to be allowed to be bisexual without it being a big deal and was incredibly obvious about it and then straighties went “oh lol look at how quirky queen is writing a song all about bicycles!”

[charlie-in-a-beanie]

This also happened to p!nk, she’s openly bisexual but since she’s married to a man and has had two babies with him, people say that she’s straight.

Like, yeah she does a lot and shows a lot of support for the LGBT+ community but she isn’t just an ally, she’s part of that community.

Biphobia is completely real and so many Bi wlw and mlm are assigned the “straight” role when they just ARENT.

[prince-spence]

[pepperpatrol]

Also let’s add Lady Gaga to the mix. She’s repeatedly shit on for Born this Way for not being part of the community when she is, in fact, openly bisexual and writes song about being LGBT

[holyfunnyhistoryherring]

[Image 1: the “It’s free real estate” guy with the altered caption “It’s Biphobia”

Image 2: a picture of Chris Fleming with the altered caption “Okay, was anybody going to tell me that ‘Bicycle Race’ was about being bi or was I just supposed to learn that from a post about Billie Joe Armstrong myself?” End ID.]

[brunhiddensmusings]

its baffling that bisexuality is considered ‘invisible’ when theres a whole pantheon of the most loud rhinestone bedazled spectacles of entertainment being openly vocal that theyre bi its like a simpsons bit where everyone ignores the blinking neon sign

[feetdonttouch]

Y’all I just learned that unusually high sugar and carb cravings are a symptom of dopamine deficiency

If you’re adhd and experience a deep and all-encompassing urge to eat cake at least five times a day boy do I have news for you

[parad0xymoron]

Oh yeah, this is a hell of a thing. Years before my diagnosis I used to snack hardcore on chocolates and particularly candy whenever I was writing and insisted it ‘helped me think’. Turns out that yup, that was my ADHD brain demanding sugar for the dopamine machine to help me pay attention.

(These days I just keep a bottle of high-glucose sports drink handy and slowly sip my way through it when I need to focus instead of slamming back whole packets of Nerds.)

[soistalune]

Can confirm via lived experience. I’m known for my sweet tooth and consuming a LOT of sugar daily, which never seemed to affect my ‘energy’ levels the way people say kids get hyperactive on sugar. It in fact simply helped me be steadier. 

Since I started taking ADHD medication, my cravings for sweet snacks have gotten down to almost zero, except if I need to make a specifically mentally challenging task. Wish I knew this before I only sought diagnosis past 30 years old…

[mothmammoth]

[ratbastarddotfuck]

[jestermolly]

By the way coffee does the same thing. Instead of feeling jittery or hyper, caffeine helps people with ADHD feel more focused because caffeine is a stimulant and ADHD brains need stimulation to thrive.

[chimukyou]

You mean to tell me the reason that I’m super productive after drinking two or three Red Bulls is because my ADHD brain says “Ah! Yes! The reward! Now I will work.”? D:

[melioristmint]

[Image ID: Eight panels, or drawings of a comic. The first one shows a humanoid character making a flexing motion with both arms. The figure is saying: “I wanna be a hero and help people in need!” There is a small satchel hanging by their side. The next panel shows the humanoid hunched over with a confused expression, asking: “But how?” The third panel shows the character walking by another character with a scarf named content creator, saying: “Hmmm.” The next panel is the hand of the figure shown dropping a little heart into an entire bottle full of heart shapes, symbolizing liking a post. In the fifth panel, the hand is also taking a navy colored sheet of paper with the reblog symbol on it, symbolizing reblogging a post. In the sixth panel, the original character with a satchel is speaking to the character with a scarf, the content creator, and saying “Looks great!” with a small smile. The seventh panel shows the satchel character walking away, once again saying “Hmmm.” while the content creator looks on with a neutral expression. The eighth and final panel has the content creator with adoring eyes, tearfully saying: “My hero.”]

Moral of the story: Like AND reblog

Idk what trans man out there needs to hear this but being men doesn’t make us evil, or bad. Realizing youre a man doesn’t magically make you a horrible person. You’re not betraying women by realizing youre a man. You don’t need to be scared of becoming something cruel. Men are not inherently evil. Men are not inherently cruel, or monsters.

You are not a monster.

[sepulchritude]

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like

“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”

[sepulchritude]

Art is the biggest snitch ever man like have you ever read a fanfic and been like “Oh the author is working through some trauma here”

Or when people rec songs/shows/fics and you suddenly know everything you need to know about who they are as a person?

Like I know art is inherently an attempt to make others understand what is going on inside our lonely little heads but sometimes the mortifying ordeal of being known just slips in there while you’re not looking

PLUS SIZED LINGERIE ON ETSY

not a lot of lingerie on etsy has PLUS SIZE LINGERIE for plus size people only. what a lot of lingerie creators on there do is make your cookie cutter sizes and then do custom sizes as well.

LALCouture: so I just ordered lingerie from this etsy shop and they were super accommodating about sizes? asked for my bust, underbust, waist, and hips and normal bra size which they take into consideration when making their garments for me. i haven’t received it so i can’t speak to the quality yet but so far they have been very accommodating to my custom size, as i am bigger than their largest size which is XL

GoodGirlLatex if you want something a little more risque, this latex lingerie etsy does custom sizes as well.

victoriancorset has corsets that go up to 7XL

nedbasleather custom sized harnesses and stuff for all the genders!

EmmaAlamo sizes here go up to 4X which means 52″ waist they do custom sizes as well. harnesses for people of all genders.

novaharness’s plus sizes probably don’t go super far (they have an XXL with a max waist that’s 39.5…not great) but they are notable in that they have this plus sized option for the men’s harnesses as well…plus sized men and mascs rejoice! they’re also happy to do custom designs if they don’t accommodate your size!

InkedStaind has really cute pentagram body harnesses up to 4XL, they also do custom sizing

SensuaLingerie does custom sizing in bras and in panties, and their designs are super cute and vintage inspired

BlueberryShopUa also has cute designs and custom sizing

DebutLingerie has things for ladies and feminine people but I’d really like to point out their more masculine lingerie options. Does custom sizing!

BodyFetish has lingerie options for many genders and does custom sizing.

RebirthGarments not lingerie per se, but they have undergarments so I thought i’d include it. it is an amazing shop that truly tries to clothe all bodies. they’ve got binders, swimsuits of varying modesty for all gender expressions and they do custom sizing!

LeoLines has panties specifically for transfeminine people in tons of very casual designs. good to just fill your underwear drawer with. super basic but hey most underwear is basic!

just a heads up that many of these custom lingerie brands on etsy are located in ukraine so it might take awhile to get to you!

Not Etsy But

AdoreMe has really helpful size guides and stuff in sizes up to 5X…their designs don’t always blow my hair back but hey a bra and panties that fit, that’s priceless.

CurvyKate has tons of bras and panties in plus sizes and they’re trans friendly.

SavagexFenty believe it or not fenty beauty bras go up to 46 in the band and H in the cup (in american sizes). unfortunately it’s so popular, your size might be sold out in the thing you want.

Corset Story is super pricy in my opinion but if you wanted to get yourself a REALLY NICE corset, their corsets go up to 50″ in the waist.

This is bad.

[lynati]

I have worked for several small businesses; I work for one now. If we have to ship UPS or FedEx because the post office no longer exists, we have to change what we charge for shipping to reflect that.

Depending on where you live, something you used to pay $3 to get will now cost us, and therefore YOU, $10-$15 to ship.

This isn't just death the small businesses, this is damaging for everyone who currently has to order things by mail.

Use THAT when you call your senators. If they don't support saving the post office, ask them why the hate small businesses and want to see hundreds of thousands of them fail over the next few months.

For trans guys, getting a first suit can seem daunting. However,with the help of infographics like these, the process can be made simple. The most important aspect of the suit is how it fits. No suit comes ready made for anyone, even cis-men!  Believe it or not, it is possible to find a suit that fits you! Don’t rush it, shop around, and talk to a tailor. If possible, always have your suit tailored to your individual needs. An ill fitting suit can make you appear younger, smaller, and less mature, so when looking for a suit check for these signs in the mirror. Then go talk to a tailor!

I may never say this agin, but the comments are very helpful!

Informed consent means that the doctor trusts you and your judgement instead of instituting hurdles like therapist letters and etc. As long as you understand what the effects of HRT are and agree to them, you should be good to go!
