Transunitism Manifesto

[what-even-is-thiss]

There’s definitions of things but there’s often parts of a thing that exist on the edge of that definition but everyone knows is still that thing. Definitions are useful but at the end of the day you know a thing when you see it. You know that a horse is not a chair and that a 90s inflatable chair is a chair and that a table is not a chair even if someone is sitting on it. You know a chair when you see it. A beanbag both is and is not a type of chair and this is a comfortable truth.

But anyways that’s also kind of how gender works.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Also sometimes something might look like a kind of chair but it’s actually a rare kind of stand for wine kegs and is almost completely unrelated to chairs as a concept.

This is also kind of how gender works.

[what-even-is-thiss]

All of the exceptions and nitpicking y’all are bringing up in the notes only proves my point.

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

[the-punforgiven]

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

[the-punforgiven]

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

[the-punforgiven]

Also there is no way ravens wouldn't figure out spells, tbh

They're smart fuckin birds, I believe in them

Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I'm sure of it

[the-punforgiven]

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

Fantasy setting where every species of animal has One Fucked Up Trick exactly like in medieval bestiaries (e.g., panthers hypnotising their prey with sweet breath, pelicans reviving the dead with their willingly shed blood, etc.), except these are actually learned magic spells passed down from parent to offspring, so different populations of the same animal in different regions might have a different spell.

(If a species is domesticated you can teach it any spell you want, as long as you start 'em young enough; every breed of dog has a different "standard" spell, and knowing the "wrong" one is considered both a grave departure from breed standards and a potential violation of animal husbandry ethics.)

“I don’t like this expression “First World problems.” It is false and it is condescending. Yes, Nigerians struggle with floods or infant mortality. But these same Nigerians also deal with mundane and seemingly luxurious hassles. Connectivity issues on your BlackBerry, cost of car repair, how to sync your iPad, what brand of noodles to buy: Third World problems. All the silly stuff of life doesn’t disappear just because you’re black and live in a poorer country. People in the richer nations need a more robust sense of the lives being lived in the darker nations. Here’s a First World problem: the inability to see that others are as fully complex and as keen on technology and pleasure as you are.”

for those like me that want proof this is real:

[lostxanadu]

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

people are so obsessed with shitting on enben & transmascs who, god forbid, have transition goals of a gnc man who has fun with his appearance, and making feel stupid or immature or even transphobic for having these goals. fuck em. pre-T i really really really wanted to look like robert sheehan as klaus hargreeves and guess what? i absolutely nailed that goal post-T. sometimes dreams come true. you can become the faggot of your dreams!
