Help a Latina Trans Lesbian get Bottom Surgery

The first post lost all traction and donations have completely stopped, and I won’t shut up till she has the help she needs so here we go. 

My girlfriend is a very dysphoric trans woman. She needs to start electrolysis in order to get neo-vaginoplasty, which would save her from so much anguish. However, insurance absolutely refuses to cover this procedure, and her family is lower income so they cannot cover the costs by themselves, so we need your help.

You can donate to her gofundme here

Can’t donate? just watch this video to help me raise money

I am a smaller account. I need help spreading this. Please reblog.

Sirius, hiding the key: Really such a shame

I am extremely confused

So two days ago, Faustisse did a livestreams where she revealed some stuff about the lore of the Hazbinverse. She revealed two things that struck out to me:

Satan and Lucifer are two different characters; Lucifer is the king of Hell, Satan is the God of Hell

Lucifer has ruled Hell since the beginning of time

The second thing in particular is interesting to me because it completely flips the traditional view regarding Lucifer and his rulership over Hell. Normally, the story goes like this: God creates Lucifer, an extremely powerful and attractive archangel. Lucifer’s power causes him to become cocky and he tries to lead a rebellion against God. His rebellion fails miserably, and he and the angels who rebelled with him are curbstomped by Saint Michael and the other archangels before being yeeted into the underworld.

According to Faust, in the Hazbinverse, Lucifer was never cast into Hell. He has always ruled Hell. But Viv has confirmed that he is, in fact, a fallen angel, and he has angelic features like pale white skin, red cheeks and a (mostly) humanoid appearance.

This leads me to my big question: how can Lucifer be a fallen angel if he never fell from grace?

Bill Cipher’s Motives and Plans Theory

So, my boyfriend and I have been having numerous discussions about Bill’s motives and thought process because there were a few things that seemed inconsistent when we looked at the frames and dialogue closely. 

We were also building off @fordtato​‘s theory on Mindscapes, Thresholds, Dreamscapes, and Memories. Absolutely check it out! It’s awesome!

It began with a question that I’ve had since I first watched the series when it was airing: 

Why did Bill want to destroy the Journal during Sock Opera? 

TLDR @ the bottom

(”Look, kid, you’ve been getting way too close to figuring out some major answers. I’ve got big plans coming and I don’t need you getting in my way. Destroying that laptop was a cinch. Now I just need to destroy your journal.” - Bipper, Sock Opera)

Bill’s main goal is open a portal between Dipper’s dimension and the Nightmare Realm. 

For the first half of the above images it’s obvious why Bill destroyed the laptop, he wanted to stop Dipper from digging any deeper into the mystery behind the author’s disappearance.  

The moment Dipper finds out about the portal and its dangers, he would want to shut it down; which was backed up by the episode Not What He Seems. 

But here’s where I was stumped, 

Why did Bill want to destroy the journals if the blueprints to create the portals were written inside? Wouldn’t it be easier to gather them together because he knows who has them and give them to someone to build it for him?

Disclaimer: bf came up with this theory, and since he doesn’t have a Tumblr I’m writing it instead with his permission of course. 

Bill’s Relationship with the Journals and their Owners

Bill and Ford worked together to create and write out all the details about the portal in the Journals. So, Bill had complete access to them, he’s read them and knows what Ford thinks of him. 

Bill most likely concludes that Journal Three is the most dangerous journal because it has warnings against summoning him. You could argue that the invisible ink was used in all three journals to warn against summoning Bill; however, Ford is very vague about using invisible ink that’s why Dipper didn’t realise it earlier, despite having access to that page in the journal:

(Dipper showing the invisible ink page under a black-light in the journal, Scary-oke) 

(“It seems to me that I need another, even more secretive way to record my thoughts, something visible yet invisible. Something I learned about in my chemistry class back in collage” - Ford, Journal 3)

So, destroying Journal 3 becomes Bill’s next priority for multiple reasons: 1. Prevent Dipper from digging deeper  2. It warns against making a deal with Bill 3. It hints at Ford using invisible ink 4. And those who want to activate the portal, Stan and Gideon, may change their minds. 

It also explains why Bill possibly waited till Dipper was sleep deprived and desperate to make a deal full of loopholes because he knew Dipper was incredibly wary. 

But by Sock Opera, Stan and Dipper are already aware of points 3 and 4, so there’s another reason why he wants to destroy the journal besides hindering Dipper’s research. 

Which brings us to Journals 1 and 2 and their owners. 

Journal 1 presumably covers Ford’s first six years in Gravity Falls, while Journal 2 is noted to be predominantly about spells, curses and artefacts. But most noteworthy, they mention nothing about the dangers of summoning Bill.

So, why not use Stan as his puppet? He had 30 years.

We’re not completely sure of the extent of Bill’s knowledge and clairvoyance he has on Stan. But Stan seems like the obvious candidate to restarting the portal: 

1. Stan knows about the portal  2. He lives in close proximity to it 3. He has a good motive to work on it  4. He’s desperate 5. He might accept help 

So, why not? 

The risk of failure is too high. 

(”You would have seen him for the scam artist he is” - Ford, Weirdmaggedon Part 3)

Stan knows a con artist when he sees one, and Bill contacting him would put him even more on guard about anyone who snoops around the shack or is looking to take the shack from him. Stan knew Ford was paranoid about something.  

And Gideon had made numerous attempts to steal the deed to the Shack throughout season 1.  

So theoretically, if Bill had contacted Stan and was rejected, by the time Gideon starts poking his nose into wanting to steal the deed; rather than responding with laughter and later falling by his own hubris, Stan would guard the deed more believing them to be in cahoots with Bill. 

Similarly, Bill can’t just contact just anyone who doesn’t know about the supernatural because otherwise they would immediately be suspicious and cautious around him.

So, Bill needs a puppet who:  1. Knows about the supernatural (most likely to be found in Gravity Falls who hasn’t been influenced by The Society of the Blind Eye) 2. Barely knows anything about him or think they know everything about him 3. Requires his help 4. And possibly thinks they can weasel around his deals. 

And that only leaves Gideon as the owner of Journal 2.   

(”I’ll help you with this, and in return, you can help me with something I’ve been working on.” - Bill, Dreamscapers)

Bill and Deals 

It’s implied that to not get duped by Bill (as seen in Sock Opera) you need to be specific about the details of the deal, otherwise it’s broken. And Gideon’s deal with Bill is full of loopholes - Bill says nothing about what he wants before shaking his hand, so Gideon’s basically given him a blank cheque. 

So again, theoretically if Bill had fulfilled his end of the bargain, Gideon would have the Mystery Shack and have complete control over the portal’s construction, plus Journal 2. 

Destroying the Journals

If the deal with Gideon went smoothly, Bill would have complete control over Gideon’s mind and body, access to the portal, he can have Bud Gleeful do any heavy lifting required, and the two people that would possibly fight back, Stan and Dipper (for different reasons) would be out of the way. 

Would Bill still want to destroy the journals then? Yes, it doesn’t matter which journal he destroys. It doesn’t have to be Journal 3.

Because Bill wrote the blueprints. He doesn’t need the journals. 

Ford, Stan and Gideon want the blueprints. By destroying the journals it puts everyone that wants the portal open in his complete control, and any deal they might make with him will always be on his terms. 

But there’s also another layer as to why Bill would want to complete control over the portal through Gideon, and not Stan. 

And that’s because of Ford. 

Ford at that point is somewhere in the multiverse plotting Bill’s demise. 

The only reason Ford managed to get home was based entirely on luck. 

As written in Journal 3, Ford just happened to be in the Nightmare Realm at the same time Stan re-activated the portal in Not What He Seems; otherwise Bill and the Henchmaniacs would’ve taken full advantage of it. 

If Bill had control over the portal then he could move between those two realms whenever he wants, but it also mean he could theoretically shut the portal down whenever he wants and prevent Ford from returning home as a potential threat to his power.  

TLDR: Bill needed Gideon to become his clueless puppet so he had complete control over constructing the portal, keeping the only threats against him in Gravity Falls, Stan and Dipper at bay. 

Bill would then destroy any journal he came across because it would strand Stan and Gideon from activating it without his help. But it would also mean that Bill could potentially stop Ford from ever making it back to his home dimension to thwart his reign/kill him.

[fanonical]

hey do you think you could expand a bit on separating the art from the artist? clearly you’ve done it with jk rowling but what are your thoughts on it as a general idea?

Okay, but you’re not going to like the answer.

Here’s the truth: you can’t separate the art from the artist. Not entirely. HP Lovecraft was an incredibly talented, but much more incredibly racist man. It would nice to say you don’t agree with his views but you can enjoy his works without that leaking in but.... well, I’m afraid that would be misunderstanding his books entirely.

Consider, for a second, that Lovecraft’s works were horror stories about extradimensional creatures having mutant children with humans; they were about invasions from distant aliens; they were about the purity of quaint, white, American towns being tainted. Now consider how this may have all been influenced by the fact that he just simply despised anybody who wasn’t white. Consider how his opinions on “mixing the races” might feed into this; consider why being unable to maintain the “purity” of white Americans was the scariest thing of all to him.

This extends to Rowling too.

I would love to say we can just acknowledge that she is an awful, racist, antisemitic, transphobic person and then say “but at least her books are good,” because, well, they are, aren’t they? I would say so, for sure. But to suggest that one can separate her from them is.... ridiculous, and it’s an insult to fans, can know and do better.

Consider why an antisemitic woman wrote about a species of goblins who live among us, but who for the most part keep to themselves and are maybe a little discriminated against on an individual level, but also hold all the cards, all the money, run the banks.

Consider why a racist woman would write about a species of slaves who loved being enslaved, who enjoyed working for no pay, and cleaning up after humans, with the only small caveat of that they didn’t want to be beaten. Imagine that only the most radical of their species wanted to be free, and he still spent the rest of his life working for no pay and helping out a little white boy and his friends wherever he could. Consider why the only person in the story who thought they should be free, that they should have rights, was treated as an overzealous joke, who was acting against the wishes of those slaves who really LOVE being enslaved. Consider that Rowling went on to say that she kind of considers that girl to be black, now.

Consider why JK Rowling, an open and proud transphobe, wrote Rita Skeeter as having a large square jaw, thick “manly” hands, and dressing incredibly gaudily with the most obvious fake nails and fake teeth and fake hair and fake everything. Consider why a woman who tweets about how trans women are “foxes pretending to be hens to get in the hen house” might write this Rita Skeeter character to then illegally transform her body in order to spy on children.

Harry Potter is full of Rowling’s bigotry, start to finish. Not even tangentially, like, “oh the goblins are bad, Rita Skeeter is bad, the house elves are bad, but most of it’s good!” because the deeper you dig and the longer you think the more you realise the entire story is based on her prejudices.

Harry Potter pretends to be an aracial story about found family, but if that were true, why are Harry’s distant ancestors important to who he is today even in the seventh book? Why does Harry have to live with his cousin and aunt and uncle? Because magic inherently prefers blood ties. Whilst Rowling was writing a story that seemed to say, “your heritage is not that important and doesn’t make you better than others” she was still writing a story about a boy who got all of his money through his bloodline, who was protected by living with his bloodline, no matter how evil, who was uniquely able to stop Voldemort because his bloodline passed down the invisibility cloak for generations and generations. Any step Harry takes he is compared to his perfect parents who were exactly like him — he looks just like his father, but he has his mother’s eyes, you know! — consider WHY a woman who is racist might’ve written a story like this. A story that on its surface, condemns a blood caste, but still in every step it takes, validates the idea that blood is thicker than water, and your geneological origin is what makes you special.

You can enjoy Harry Pottwr, of course you can. There are fantastic parts. I love a small group of teenagers deciding to become anarchist rebels and train to fight against fascism in secret. I love the murder mystery plots, I love how the series tells kids that it’s a good thing to be brave, and a good thing to fight injustice, and a good thing to challenge the government. But I cannot separate it from its author because it is such a product of its author. All of the structures of the world, the way things work in the universe, are drenched in Rowling’s beliefs, her bigotries. Of course they are: she made them.

Again. This doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy it. But I think we are past the day where we can pretend that disavowing a bigoted author is enough, and that that somehow separates the text from its bigotry. I think we are past the day where we can pretend that Harry Potter isn’t a deeply, inherently bigoted piece of media. Even the bits we love. I think we are beyond the day where we can truthfully pretend to separate it from her, because she is present through all of it. We MUST recognise its flaws. We MUST admit that she is in every part of it.
