we need less “trans women/men should be allowed in women’s/men’s spaces” and more “gender segregated spaces are inherently sexist and transphobic, and we should replace them with gender neutral spaces”
So I was bored and had an idea, I am IN NO WAY a professional and it sounds a lil' janky, but I did my best, feel free to try and make a better version!!
ORIGINAL TRACKS ARE:
"Time Go Fishing" - Daniel Pemberton, Project Hail Mary OST
"Fate Welded Shut" - Andrew Hulshult, Iron Lung OST
As many people who already know me are aware, I am a trans man creator, and this has always been a very important part of my life experience and identity. Although I transitioned socially and physically alone, I am proud of myself for how far I have gotten in my journey, and how far I will continue to go in the future. I hope all of you who identify as such have a fantastic Pride Month, and remember to love yourselves! I am proud of you
I headcanon Tenna to be bisexual and a trans man, much like myself! There are parts of this character I see myself in at times, and he is quite important to me! So I wanted to convey that with this drawing.
Ngl, when I first joined the Bloodymary fandom, I fully was thinking a majority of them were like me in that they were followers of Markiplier who saw Iron Lung to support him.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that there's actually a lot of fandom members who had never really followed Mark, or even watched him, before getting into this fandom.
On the one hand, this kinda makes sense, right? Mark is merely the actor and filmmaker in this context. You don't need to have engaged with the filmmaker/actor closely to watch a movie he did and engage with a crossover fandom regarding a fictional character he wrote/portrayed. But it does make the fandom's reaction to stuff Mark does (like his reveal of how he knew about Bloodymary) so funny to me and how y'all probably don't know how absolutely Unhinged this man is (/affectionate).
So, to my Bloodymary creators who don't know the Markiplier lore, here are the highlights:
Mark is known to have gone to the hospital Numerous Times, to the point where there's an entire twitter account dedicated to counting the days since his previous hospital visit.
Mark has a bit with fans where he claims he's not a masochist, he just wants to know how much his body can take it, and then he'll turn around and willingly put himself through something he knows is going to cause him a lot of pain.
Not including the hospital visits (some more serious than others), Mark has: gotten tased, gotten pepper-sprayed, broken his nose while doing stunts on an aerial hoop, broken his hand after punching it through dry wall, gotten shot with a paintball gun, and probably various others I'm forgetting. These all happened on camera, by the way.
Mark drank his own pee through his brita filter. Twice.
EDIT: Following up the last point, he at one point experimented with a sauna tent by putting in different liquids other than water to steam in. Yes. One of these was his own piss. Pee sauna it was called.
EDIT 2: Mark actually has, what fans like to call, "egos", which are characters that he's portrayed that either he created or that fans created and he then ran away with. These include: himself if he was an egocentric sociopathic murderer; twins stuck in a single body who's whole schtick is to be vague and deliver the most based villain-sounding monologues; Google; a TV entertainer who breaks the fourth wall and is a mass murderer and was seen as the saddest character he probably ever created until Simon came along; a theater kid who loves prison; Indiana Jones; Jim; and more.
Mark actually cannot drink alcohol because his body can't process it correctly. The last time he got drunk, he had to go to a hospital for a heart attack. (This made the choice he made to have Simon drink rubbing alcohol VERY funny to me)
Mark made a tasteful nudes calendar and (I think?) fucked up his hand because he signed thousands of them over the course of a weekend.
Mark made a video announcing that he would create an Only Fans if the podcast he does with his best friends got to number one streaming on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Needless to say, it became number one in just a few days and he made the Only Fans.
Mark repeatedly has said how badly he wants to be launched into space. Meanwhile, he has massive thalassophobia (fear of the ocean) and also a fear of mannequins.
Mark (affectionately) bullying his fans is actually quite common. Lots of posts said it already, but him mentioning Bloodymary was not a matter of "if" but "when". Because he ALWAYS pokes fun at memes and fandom stuff we create with his work. He also is the BIGGEST enabler of this too. He tells people to pick apart his projects for secrets he put in, and if we get something wrong or we don't find something he'll tease us about it. Fans will then, affectionately, bully him back. Recently, he's had the habit of dying in Subnautica 2 because he forgets to gain more oxygen and like half the comments are making fun of him for this.
I will say that if you try to go looking for some of these clips, a fair amount are from Unus Annus, a channel he co-created with his friend Ethan Nestor and has since been deleted. But people have made a Many compilation edits so they can be found, they'll just be a bit of a challenge lol.
I think having the main theme of your movie being that bravery does not nessicarily mean willingness to subject yourself to pain and fear but rather rising to the challenge once you’re already in that situation is such an important message given our circumstances right now
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
Hyperfixation so crazy it got me doing math (breaking out the graphic calculator to figure out the best formula for timeline crossover windows that change in size) (I'm cooking something I hope I write it)
Saw someone say that the Straw Hats should all hook up, and fine whatever, the world is your oyster, but chalking up the crew's love and chemistry to romance feels cheap and a complete removal of the importance of friendship. Friendship has become a very important thing to me. We should all be more friends with deep, intimate ties to one another without it ever having to be romantic.
