a positive bit of gender euphoria that i feel isn't discussed enough is the release of having your first real name.
this doesn't apply to absolutely everyone but if you are trans and uncomfortable with your deadname in any capacity you may know what i mean, or can hope to understand it in the future.
My name is Athena, whatever is on my birth certificate, whatever my grandmother writes on christmas cards, whatever my friends have had to call me in the meantime does not describe my truth.
I have no spite for those mentions of my deadname.
It is no fault of my parents for making that assumption and putting that weight onto me.
It is no fault of my grandmother to think of me as a grandson, she has no way of knowing better, and I still smile at those cards all the same.
It is no fault of my friends for not finding an alternate name sooner, they know who I am, and the ones I cherish the most understand it.
My name is Athena, and that is a gentle trickle of joy that fills the cracks formed from years of gentle pressure.
My name is Athena, and its like fixing an itch that has festered upon my heart for years, an itch I have been far too afraid to acknowledge or deal with, after all, what use is there clawing your own heart out to fix such a minor discomfort?
Yet still my name is Athena, and its like that part of myself is finally right.
My name is Athena, and that name is normal like how I was before I knew of gender, before I knew about my body and before I knew about the world I would spend my whole life in.
My name is Athena, and that name is normal like taking a breath after holding it for just too long. Releasing that old weight and breathing again, even and calmly.
Pushing a tighness that formed in my chest out, and thinning down my blood, which has gone syrupy in anticipation for fresh life.
My name is Athena, and I welcome the chance to finally live.
Living for when Hozier said; "Men, be wary of any mentality that would make cattle or make vessels of women. Because that same mentality will make machines and tools of you. Make monsters of you"
all sex is cringe as far as im aware. dont let that stop you. lick her armpits and dry hump her thigh for 15 minutes fully clothed and cum in your pants. kill the comphet in your mind. kill the comptop in your mind. only listen to other peoples commands if thats hot.
A girl I'm friends with has been known to do something like this to me while I'm talking or Infodumping or something and it just kinda melts my thoughts and words away into blissful quiet. And then inevitable later somehow *i* feel like the pervert.
I spent a weekend with a friend after jokingly sending this meme to her, she realized the purpose of it, and then for 2 days tortured me with it while cuddling and watching shows, yapping about dumb shit.
It was absolutely peak and I have never known anyone who did it that well.
I mean it when I say, I need her like a fish needs water, chat. šµāš«
everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly youāre ātaking things too seriouslyā and you ādonāt have a sense of humourā like iām sorry but saying protect the dolls doesnāt make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless youāre actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs
āOnly women canāā nope. āBut all menāā nah. āThe divine femininity ofāā gonna stop you right there. āEveryone born amaāā if you finish that sentence Iāll kill you. āMen donāt experienceāā youāre wrong. āGender isnāt real but sex is immāā *loud incorrect buzzer*
It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently canāt be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. āAll men including trans menāā probably not. āThis is only a womanās issueāā is it really? āAfabs onlyāā why? āAll trans men are likeāā what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.
the most occidentalist cnovel I ever binged via MTL was about a chinese guy reincarnating into europe right before the black plague & teaching the savage europeans how to cook food and do agriculture and industry properly and inventing an innoculation for the plague and he wound up gay marrying the sexy young pope & collecting a really unreasonable number of magical animal companions along the way, including a tiger. the tiger's introduction led to my favorite author's note in the following chapter, which was basically "I've been informed Europe doesn't have tigers but I don't really give a fuck" ... that was kind of charming.
had an idea cus i swear i heard him say SOMEWHERE he thought of those ridiculous buzzfeed ads that always had some sort of list of "however many ways to do something" and was inspired to write that lyric. or maybe i didnt hear that and im imagining it. either way i ended up here and drew this lol
Hey, Kpop Demon Hunters fandom! I have noticed a lot of excitement going around regarding the McDonalds x KPDH upcoming collab/meals, specifically the recently released commercial about the collab.
In case you didnāt know, McDonalds not only rolled back DEI initiatives in 2025, but McDonalds Israeli franchise, Alonyal Ltd., provided members of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) with free meals in 2023. That particular action was met with so much backlash that McDonalds bought back their Israeli franchise, but they continue to operate locations in Israel, which is currently committing genocide against Palestinians and has been illegally occupying Palestine since 1967 with genocidal actions against Palestinians being committed by Israel as early as 1948.
All of that is to say, please do not let excitement about new kpdh content distract you from the fact that McDonalds is an EXTREMELY unethical, greedy, multibillion dollar franchise that supports a genocidal, apartheid state. (Note: this is criticism specifically targeted at Israel, NOT Jewish people as a whole. Many critics of Zionism are Jewish, and a huge amount of Zionists are Christian nationalists. This is not the place to be antisemitic. Neither Antisemitism not Islamaphobia is welcome on my blog.) McDonalds neither deserves nor needs your money. I understand that boycotting everything is not always possible (ex: search engines), but McDonalds is absolutely something possible to boycott. And talking about how awesome the commercial announcement was, even if you are not planning on buying anything from McDonalds, is giving McDonalds free marketing.
Please help me. One of my brothers asked for my help doing an art and when I said āokay first off letās get some reference imagesā he said āoh I donāt do those.ā
my brother in Mom what the fuck do you mean you donāt do that
