Okay I am long overdue for an intro...

So uh, hi! This is the shittiest intro you'll ever see on this site/silly but fr I'll. Work on a better one. Possibly a color coded one? I don't know yet

My name is Syd but my friend has taken to calling me "Syddie" or "Sydula" sooo whatever works honestly

I'm transmasc, my pronouns are... uh. Well. They're something- honestly I'm fine with any other than she/her, get creative with it :p

I'm autistic! I can't really tell tone of online text and such and sometimes I don't understand things so please be patient with me ^^

Anyway yeah that's. All you really need to know as like the basics lol

Uhhhh things I like/fandoms I'm in/etc blast:

PJO

Spirit Animals

Fablehaven (I need to reread)

A few anime series like Demon Slayer and Rimuru Tempest but I haven't watched either in a while and I don't really have time for many activities rn :(

Hamilton

EPIC the Musical

Beetlejuice (Beetlejuice, Bee....)

Cookie Run Kingdom

Carmen Sandiego

Kpop Demon Hunters

Uuuuhhhhhh probably some more but I forgot- or am trying to reread/rewatch/etc

I draw sometimes but it's not good so yeah- I might post some art but like probably not a lot

I have a bunch of PJO rp blogs, including Octavian and Nero! And a few ocs. I'm constantly thinking of ocs and making more and stuff lol

I aspire to be the book analyzing guy of tumblr/j but also yeah I analyze the stuff I read and probably will start analyzing other media I consume as well when I get time

Take a look under the cut for like, tags I guess?

#sighs as I pick up a pencil — Syd does art

#media analysis with Syd! — uhh, self explanatory?

#AND THERE WAS A FUCKING BEAR — Spirit Animals

#syd gets an ask — answering asks

#Friendly fire — mutual interactions and stuff

#syd's life — things that actually happened

Uh uhhh uhm yeah I got nothing else :<

Friendly reminder to everyone that trans men exist outside being used as a gotcha to the bathroom debate. If you're going to talk about us TALK ABOUT OUR ISSUES.

I geniuinely hate that we only exist when it's convenient for people or when they're trying to defend trans women (this is not to say I hate trans women. I do not hate trans women. I think they're nice and deserve kindness and respect.)

"You wouldn't want a trans man in the bathroom with your daughter/wife/sister/etc" is the only way I see us talked about and it INFURIATES ME. It should infuriate you too

I think my least favorite part of the fucking ai apocalypse is that most of the things people ack chatgpt and other robotics shitlings could literally just be typed into a search bar for the exact same information with like 1 extra click,this is gentrified googling

[count-sydula]

That AND the fact that Google turned into one big ai chatbot is causing the biggest literacy crisis I've ever seen honestly. Fuck corporations trying to make people dumber for their own gain jesus christ people need to wake up

Trans men are men

Trans women are women

Nonbinary people are nonbinary people

Genderfluid people are genderfluid people

All gender identities are valid

All parts of LGBTQIA+ are valid

Neopronouns are valid

Xenopronouns are valid

YOU are valid.

Happy pride, everyone <3

@machete-named-hate pointed out to me that Heel is called Heel because that's the command you give a dog when you want it to come to you and stay by your side and I haven't been the same since

[machete-named-hate]

When the movie has a bad ending and it makes you frustrated to see the character make those choices but at the same time it makes sense for everything they experienced throughout the movie so you can't truly be mad + the movie is psychological horror so you actually kinda dig that ending even if it makes you kinda annoyed

[whimsy-flags]

Some Pride Sharks! Enjoy~

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

"If my kid comes out as trans I'll accept them and refer to them the way they want and support their journey but they will not be getting any surgeries until they're 18" No shit BARBARA, no one's doing that you're just parroting harmful rhetoric and making people think there are people out there giving toddlers top/bottom surgery oh my god shut up

[count-sydula]

And then they include puberty blockers in things they won't let their kid do until they're 18. Bro what puberty are the blockers supposed to block after the person goes through puberty

[count-sydula]

I just saw the stupidest thing oh my fucking god

"You can't be trans before you're fifteen years old because many people misunderstand what being trans means and if you get surgeries you won't be able to go back" SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GENDER AFFIRMING CARE NOT BEING TRANSGENDER AND PEOPLE CAN'T USUALLY GET GENDER AFFIRMING CARE UNTIL THEY'RE 18 PEOPLE CAN BE TRANS BEFORE FIFTEEN IT'S AN IDENTITY ARE YOU DUMB

This has got to be ragebait and it's fucking working

[count-sydula]

Oh right yeah put in the comments that you're uneducated about the topic sure

Do your fucking research I'm going to start killing people

"I haven't done a lot of research about this topic before posting" <- an actual thing they said oh my fucking god

[count-sydula]

Why is this CONTINUING

Same person as from the two most recent reblogs, took the thing down and posted a story "oh so people don't like opinions" this has got to be ragebait

Not only did they completely misunderstand what being transgender is, ADMITTED TO NOT KNOWING A LOT ABOUT THE SUBJECT, blatantly stated that they'll only support trans people who are 15 or older, now they're getting MAD at people because??? They pointed out their bigotry???? What the fuck man

Being curious about the world and wanting to make a difference with your life while also being part of a minority group that gets forgotten about throughout history a lot makes listening to stupid musicals a whole lot more painful because what do you mean I want to tear up when in Hamilton they sing "will they tell your story?" Because I'm scared I'll be forgotten if I do anything big for the world or that my identity will be sweeped under the carpet and even if they mention me anywhere it'll be by my deadname and pronouns I didn't go by. I know I won't be alive to see it if it happens but it's terrifying.

[count-sydula]

It's such a dumb fucking thing to be scared of but oh my god I'd geniuinely break down if I discovered something and got remembered not as myself but as a shell of a person I once was. I don't want it to happen to the point of actually not wanting to do anything big ever so no one talks about me because I'd rather not be talked about at all than be remembered as someone I'm not.
