if any of my posts bloaw up i edit the op into a picture of my dog

faq:
what program do you use for your edits?
primarily davinci resolve, which is my personal recommendation due to being free and relatively intuitive to use. occasionally vegas pro or capcut if i want to get silly with it
what website did you use to make that emoji succession theme cover?
thirtydollar.website, which i don't recommend using unless you are willing to waste a lot of time and effort on a joke. it's designed to be funny and as such is not particularly user-friendly
why do you use she/her pronouns for tom?
why don't you
how is tomshiv yuri?
both girls
you used to be tomwambsgirl?
yeah, i got nuked, and then staff double nuked 99% of my posts out of existence a year later
so you don't like tomgreg anymore?
at this point i have way too many negative associations with the ship/fan content/fandom behavior (long and uninteresting story), so no, not really
are you serious or joking about [x]?
if you think i'm joking i'm serious. if you think i'm serious i'm joking.
i really didn't want to have to adjust my donation goal, but things are getting dire.
my family is experiencing a very serious legal situation. a lot of money is gonna go into hiring a lawyer, and things they might have otherwise been able to help me with for the move will no longer be possible.
i'm throwing out the goal entirely and just. requesting any donations possible. the past few days have left me drained and stressed out of my mind. please consider sharing or donating if you want to help a transgender korean in the deep south move out to get HRT. thank you 💛
Hello hi! My boyfriend Thorin @tytoalbatross is still trying to save up for his impending move away from his transphobic and controlling family, as well as raise funds to start testosterone. Anything helps, he’s at 206/500 right now so about 2/5 of the way to his goal! Please reblog and help get as many eyes on this as possible!
happy aapi history month. would you like to help a korean guy in the deep south of the USA move out of his transphobic parents' house? that's great because uh. i could really use the help 😭 we need to be able to afford the security deposit (which i'm helping some of my future roommates with) and first month of rent, so alongside what i'm earning at work this summer, i would appreciate getting roughly $300-500 total as a safety buffer. thank you in advance 💛 <- or buy me a coffee or two, anything helps
thank you for this!! so yes anything we get past may 24 will either go to more HRT or to go towards the committees of the disadvantaged, poor countries attending the event to help cover the costs of people's attendance. we have 1700 eur on the fundraiser so far btw, i will be sharing that amount with the other countries anyway (dont know which ones exactly but last yr it was morocco, mali, lebanon). if it's too late to order more hrt, it will go to help covering the costs of activists from west asia and different parts of africa attending the event and possibly to displaced queer ppl in lebanon. like i will see how much extra we get + how much of it is too late to spend on HRT + what's the most urgent need/efficient use of money at that moment. explaining this bc i like 2 be transparent about all this stuff and you're all welcome to ask me any questions about any of this <3 thanks again OP for your consideration and effort :))
Posting again on behalf of my boyfriend @tytoalbatross who’s under a ton of financial stress this semester and needs help getting food for himself day-to-day and saving to move in July. Anything helps! Please share even if you can’t chip in!
honestly this too. i've been trying to explain in words exactly what i'm Thinking for like probably months at this point but i can't. something very particular about how tom('s body) gets perceived and described. you know.
you wouldn't describe connor or roman or kendall as broad, right? and 'broad' suggests a particular kind of like... masculinity, sturdiness, and reliability, as opposed to roman calling tom 'boxy' or nate saying he has a 'square head,' in both instances connecting this to their view of him as some hick from nowhere. from their points of view tom embodies an ill-fitting archetype of masculinity that's outdated or uncultured.
shiv of course does defend tom to some extent in both which side are you on and vaulter, though not necessarily in the way tom would like. deflecting that there's 'nothing wrong with his body' only to shift the focus to his suits (still an important part of tom's identity and self-expression, indicative of the fact he comes from a different background) and his gait (still an uncontrollable physical trait) doesn't feel much better. in kill list these are the things she comes for in her playground-level insults - your shoes are too white. you're wiry. (though it must be said, tom shifts the focus to physical traits first.)
but also, like. there's nothing wrong with his body/i used to think you were broad. a definite part of shiv's interest in tom is that she views him as nonthreatening because he is 'beneath her'. but i do feel there is this element of tom both in his personality and physicality being - in her perception at least - masculine in a way that is not just passively nonthreatening (partially because it is indicative of his unimpressive background) but actively comforting or offering a sense of protection, which is not how she feels about any other man in her life. it's also, like, physical protection or protection by virtue of maleness is the only protection shiv feels tom can actually provide when she's the one with the money and power.
her changing her mind about tom being broad isn't just about his betrayal - mapping the emotional comfort he provided onto a physical trait - but also related to the physical 'betrayal' shiv feels from tom getting her pregnant, in a sense asserting or imposing his masculinity in a way that she didn't expect and wasn't prepared for. and in this sense tom succeeded in embodying 'maleness' in a way connor, kendall, and roman couldn't, by actually continuing his own bloodline.
at the same time, i think tom's response in vaulter shows that he is insecure about his body, certainly in the sense that he's incredibly sensitive about how people perceive him as a whole. shiv's pregnancy is information she deliberately kept from him. the last episodes of the show are marked by tom's sense that his body is failing him with his constant complaints about physical exhaustion (which shiv takes pity on and offers him a reprieve from.)
but the reason tom gets the 'win' in the end, ultimately, is because he's the man who got shiv pregnant and he can offer the protection of being the 'pain sponge' public face - telling matsson about his capacity for withstanding physical discomfort. and that's not, like... meaningfully under his control, or even something he's really happy about. succeeding at masculinity is also failing because it's something that's applied to or imposed on him based on inborn physical traits much more than it is something he embraces. your body's all you've got whether you like it or not. i don't know if this all makes sense
Hey so one of my very dear friends just got super fucked over today by our shitty government. They've been trying to get top surgery scheduled for awhile now and had been really hoping to get it out of the way before the new year but the surgeon wasn't able to fit them in before then and now suddenly because it's after January 1st a new bill is in effect in the state they're in that prohibits medicaid from covering gender affirming care so they've gotta pay out of pocket up front if it's getting done at all.
They've been looking forward to this for months now and it's fucking devastating.
Anyways if you can't donate that's fine but if you wouldn't mind sharing this around so that maybe my buddy could get some kind of help. They've been going through it lately and could use a fucking win for once.

shiv and greg both keep trying to poison tom but they end up thwarting each other's attempts. shiv plans to slip poison in tom's dinner but he ends up going out with greg that night. greg put arsenic in tom's latte but shiv bumps into him by accident and he spills the whole thing. the one time shiv successfully gives tom poisoned food greg ends up eating it instead because tom isn't hungry and greg is complaining about having low blood sugar
shiv sees greg fall suddenly and horribly ill and assumes that tom is onto her and is having greg act as some kind of medieval royal food taster. well played. meanwhile greg begins to suspect that tom is onto him and poisoned greg on purpose. whole time tom is overjoyed because 1) greg is sick and needs to be looked after and 2) his two favorite people keep offering him yummy treats (:
The only person to ever successfully poison Tom is Connor but not intentionally. He offers him multiple times Male Vitality supplements because he still thinks Tom and Shiv are trying for a baby and also thinks it will help Tom in general. Tom denies it every time. Connor decides to take it into his own hands, giving Tom a smoothie when they visit Austerlitz again and he pours the entire supply in it, causing Tom to go to the hospital from whatever horrible concoction Connor’s holistic remedy “doctor” friend made
Friends, tonight is the final deadline, and we still need $279 to send the money for my parents to rent a small room in Gaza. If just 28 people donate $10 each, we can make this happen.
My parents are elderly and their tent has flooded they cannot survive these harsh conditions.
Please, I beg you from my heart, help with anything you can. Every dollar can save them. 🙏
