Why am I a Fish? I don't know but I'm live right now http://twitch.tv/adhd_alien/
I've just finished reading a book (Hell Followed With Us) with a queer trans guy protagonist, multiple queer and trans identities, and casual use of different neopronouns.
I have never read a fiction novel like this with a protagonist that is like me before. It felt amazing.
“You feel the bulge in his pants” - implies that you are feeling some guy’s penis, may be sexy depending on context
“You feel the bugle in his pants” - implies that this guy has a military horn in his pants, invites confusing questions like why does he have that and how big are his pockets
Oh by the way if you view nonbinary people as having to be either transmasc or transfem, or being man/woman-lite, or tma/tme, or literally anything except what they tell you about their gender, you are transphobic
Stop forcing nonbinary people INTO A FUCKING BINARY.
im being so serious when i say this but we need to bring back the "my genitals are none of your business" "if gender is whats in my pants then my gender is some loose change" mentality from the late 2010's because too many people on here are openly flirting with exclusionary people who spout enbyphobic rhetoric. stop caring about what people's agabs are you assholes. they literally mean nothing. they're not a zodiac sign or indicative of people's character. you are not wholly pure or wholly evil because of your assigned sex. you're just a person.
More in Turn is Due quietly exceeded 10,000 hits. It's more than I had ever hoped to see for a story written in a niche POV for a game that is now 5 years old. (Heck, I'd celebrated when it reached 200!)
I appreciate every single comment with your feedback, encouragement and enthusiasm. And - even a bit of fan art! No one wants to create into a void; if you out there were not telling me your thoughts, I may not still be working on the story today.
So, to celebrate the fact that people have enjoyed this fic enough to click on it 10,000 times, I'd like to post a teaser from the in-progress Chapter 21:
---
The phone lifts off the receiver. A slight pause. “This is Heisenberg.” Another pause. “Yes, Mother Miranda.”
No. Why is she calling now? What does she want? Does she know – something, is it even possible for her to know – somehow, if you’re-? Such panicked thoughts whirl through your mind. But you try to focus on what you can overhear.
“Yes, of course we’re still working on the assignment.” Heisenberg’s tone is courteous, bordering on formal. “And we did get the equipment I’d mentioned. You’re right to ask about that.” He listens. “Oh, the… yes, the prenatal vitamins I’d ordered. The Duke hasn’t made his delivery yet, but they’re sure to be in my order.” A longer span of silence follows. “…You are? I’ll- …Yes, of course I will.” You sit up, still holding the sheets over your breasts. Damp hair cooling in the dry air. “Yes,” you note forced politeness, “it does sound like everything is moving along. And we’ll make sure you get what – what you’re asking for.”
Your stomach clenches. He’d nearly broken character, toed a line.
Heisenberg says your name, “she’s, she’s complying perfectly. Really, I-“ His voice cuts off. And then resumes much quieter. “…You do? Sure – just a moment.” The phone clicks onto a hard surface and you fiercely hope that he hung up, but Heisenberg appears in the doorway looking stonily at you, and your heart plummets.
He braces a fist on the metal frame. “She wants to talk to you.”
everybody: you’ve got to advocate for yourself in medical settings!
medical professionals when a patient advocates for themselves in a medical setting (x100 if that patient is a part of any minority): damn. you’re a hypochondriac crazy bitch who has every mental illness and is seeking every narcotic in existence. that’s the only reason you’d be disappointed in the care you’re receiving here. in retaliation, we will be even less helpful and less sympathetic. our jobs are hard. people are dying. we don’t have time to deal with anyone who is slightly inconvenient for us.
#ITS TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #(ALSO THORIN AND KILI BEING ‘UGLY’ BY DWARF STANDARDS IS AMUSING CONTENT)
further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.
Trying to prove a point to someone who doesn’t understand why going to a new doctor would be anxiety inducing because “they’ve literally made a whole career out of wanting to help people, how could they do any wrong.” And “Why would you be scared of someone that spent years and years, went hundreds of thousands in debt, just to be able to help people?”
Fucking hell could you please like or reblog if you’ve ever been gaslit or fake-claimed or in any way mistreated or not taken seriously by any healthcare professional. Any details in the tags is appreciated too. I just need more people to understand that getting clinical help is often infinitely harder than it sounds.
