Just met a trans man who's going on T because he specifically wants to be bald and i'm afraid to say i think i'm just never gonna meet anyone cooler than that ever again

#ngl I relate to this #I am constantly dysphoric about the fact that T has left my hairline in tact #almost nothing about my body makes me dysphoric is the funny part?#its literally just having giant tits and being 0% bald #also prev tagging this as apollo justice is really funny bc apollo justice is actually hairline goals to me lmao #give me a bigass forehead NOW before I die #Also never recovering from saying this to my therapist over the phone and then meeting him on zoom and seeing he is bald

immediately after an interaction: i have GOT to get more normal oh god i need to get more normal immediately i have to get more normal or they're going to hunt me down they're going to hunt me down and flay me for sport

during an interaction: and why not put a little spin on it? why not add some conversational zest?

Sometimes I go "meow meow meow." Not today though because I'm full of darkness.

The most obsession inducing trait a character can have for me is knowing somewhere in their heart That They Are A Bad Kid

if-loki-was-a-fox

This isn't necessarily literal. It can apply to characters who aren't children too. But there's something about characters who are either certain of the fact, or terrified of the possibility, that they are just fundamentally wrong and bad at their core

if-loki-was-a-fox

It is also important to me that it is not true. No one is fundamentally broken and evil.

Grackle embroidery; I decided to try using some of my stash of old sewing thread that is too brittle for the machine; it worked great! by 9-year-cicada

do i piss you off platonically. are you mad at me forever as a friend

unashamed--felinity

Tbh there is an overabundance of media about a nonhuman creature's deep desire and journey to become human, and so very few of the opposite

Many of those movies/shows are very good and I like them but the whole time I'm feeling like it's tragic in a way. The thought of a creature giving up its otherness to assimilate into humanity is really fuckin sad to me. Or a human getting the chance to be something else freaking out and rejecting it.

Just makes me feel all the more alienated, y'know. Like "damn why don't I relate to this allegedly universal enthusiasm for being human" and "why is the desire to be anything else always wrong"

I want more stuff where a human chooses to stop being human, and this is portrayed as a reasonable choice, and the person is happy as a result.

If you like: THIS POST

You should watch/read: HIKARU GA SHINDA NATSU

...if animanga is your thing, of course!

Allow me to directly illustrate my point with some pages from the manga:

And that's what the story does. Takes a nonhuman character, places them into the human world, shows what would come of it, and subsequently tells that trying to make them human is going against their nature, the harm of which is obvious. You know, almost like with conversion therapy--a comparison I'm not shy to make here because the story also takes monsterhood and makes it an allegory for queerness/the queer experience while it's at it. As explicit as an allegory can be.

It's good. It's also about grief, which has drawn me the most initially. Its genre is horror. And amidst all that it still finds place for hope and appreciation towards the nonhuman character.

Honing Your Tarot Questions

Tarot is a fantastic tool for reflection and insight, but it's not meant to answer every type of question with equal clarity. Some questions are just more helpful than others once you really get into the medium. Here are some simple suggestions on how to get the most out of your more basic questions in a way that's more helpful.

How will X go for me? -> What do I need to get the most success out of X?

What does X think of me? -> What is the energy like between us currently? What can I do to improve it, should I want to?

Should I choose X or Y? -> What will X and Y each ask of me? What rewards and challenges will I face in either direction?

Past/Present/Future -> What aspect of my past is most relevant to my present? What energy am I currently exuding? Where is that leading me?

Basically, you want questions that put the power back in the querent's hands to act upon the reading. Things that help you make a more informed decision rather than just being told the answer.

I also like adding at least one card in every spread I do which answers the question, "What do I need to focus on right now? What is the very next step?" Just to add some practical advice.

#Also adding that if you find yourself obsessively asking the same line of questions repeatedly you should probably ask:#Why do I care so much? Why can't I let go of this situation/person? What am I missing that I feel this situation/person will fulfill?#What other ways can I access what I need? How can I give that energy or need to myself?
