I'm staying calm this time

Just noticed something about the universes where Lister isn't on Red Dwarf.

Does... does Lister need glasses?

Does anyone have any recommendations for Deltarune playthroughs? Primarily for 3, 4, and 5 with both normal routes and weird route?

The first interview question I would ask every single actor cast in the HBO Harry Potter reboot:

What made you decide to help fund JK Rowling’s efforts to strip away the rights and dignities of trans people in the UK?

And if they denied that, I would politely remind them that is what they’re doing, whether they like it or not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The second question I would ask is:

How do you feel working for a woman who quoted Mein Kampf in solidarity with a dead white supremacist?

[the-desolated-quill]

The third question I would ask is:

Do you feel comfortable working with a woman who takes upskirt photos of strangers and posts them on social media?

The thing about the Bismuth introduction episode is that it wasn't even about if Bismuth or Steven were right. They both have understandable points that go according to their situations.

The episode was about the beginning of Steven learning that Rose wasn't such a good person as the gems painted her out to be and him learning for that! It was about not repeating the same mistakes your parents did and trying to be a better person!

The fandom (specially here on tumblr) kinda went nuts over this one episode, making the lesson to be a lot more darker and complex than it should be. You had people debating if the lesson was that it was right or not to commit murder, not considering the show's demographic in first place.

Yes, Steven Universe is a show with some great messages that even adults can appreciate and learn from- and yet is still a kids show. It isn't going to be teaching 8 years old if trying to kill someone is okay. There is going to be a more ¨simple¨ down to earth lessons from them to understand.

This episode is about a teen seeing someone his mother hurt in the past, learning that his own mother wasn't perfect as he thought her to be and trying to fix said mistakes and trying to be better in general. And that is a good lesson many kids can relate to! Realizing the adults around you aren't perfect is part of growing up and you don't have to be like them is a great message.

Ok, so, bottom surgery recovery is going ~splendidly~ tbh, I’ve been off opioids basically all week, she’s healing well, she even looks pretty which at under the one-month mark is making me feel pretty optimistic. The only problems it’s giving me are that sometimes if I see something really gross it makes my body feel like it’s trying to suck itself inward from my vagina, like a black hole generated by the power of “ew ew ew,” and that healing is really tiring so I’m like…always sleepy. But tbh most of bottom surgery recovery has been peaceful, I’ve had a lot of time to do some self-reflection (which I hate, doing my own therapy as a patient suuuuuucks), BUT, I do have one funny story:

Right as I wake up there’s a nurse there who hustles over and says he’s glad he saw me wake up and tells me he’s giving me some pain meds and then he gives me IV Fentanyl and so I go from like “Ow ow ow ow awake awake awake” to “ooooooh fuck I’m floating on clouds made of rainbows” in like 6 seconds and so I was pretty out of it. The hospital had all the recently-post op patients all in one big-ass room, and they see patients for ALL sorts of surgeries, so I was next to an old guy who got his knee replaced on one side and some young 30-something dude with some kind of mechanism on his leg. So I asked him what happened since I was high as fuck and feeling kind as a result, and he said he broke his leg hiking off-trail when his leg went down a literal rabbit hole and snapped his shinbone. I say something like “damn dude that blowssssss” while giggling because I’m high as FUCK on actual fentanyl and he’s like “Yeah, for real, I’m feeling great right now though! What about you? What are you in here for?”

And I fully was not thinking like a person, I was thinking like a fentanyl-addled tgirl so I just go “Oh, haha, they cut my dick off!”

And he just kinda stops and is like “Hah-WAIT what? Why?” and I was trying to think of an acceptable answer to tell this cis guy because it’s dawning on me through my drug-induced haze that not everybody wants their penis gone and before I can think of a response two nurses just came up and…wheeled him away. Idk where to, and I don’t think he did either, because he kept looking back at me and frantically asking the nurses where they were taking him and I never gave him an adequate response so he probably thought he was gonna get that “Transgender for Everyone” shit before he was probably actually delivered to whoever his ride home was.

Omg Kryten calling himself and Lister ‘BFFs’ is so cute.

Has anybody explored an AU with Rimmer as the sole survivor of the accident and Lister as the hologram brought back to keep him sane? I think it would be interesting to see how that role reversal would affect things.

[by-gray]

no BUT… i have thought about writing it a lot

[im-staying-calm-this-time]

I’d love to read that if you ever do write it!

When you said in your Katherine Hepburn post that you wonder how many transmasculine people kept their identities close to their chest to be the wife or mother that they were supposed to be, I always think of my neighbor.

I live in an extremely Mormon community in rural Northern Utah. I came out as a trans man as a teenager, about 10 years ago. My neighbor— someone who I had always known as a traditional Mormon woman in her early 40s, a devout housewife, a mother of several children, a valued community member from a very important family in our area (her brother is literally the mayor of our town), and at most SLIGHTLY more reclusive and quiet than most of the bigshots in our community— quietly told me on their front porch one evening that they have always seen themself as a man.

They wistfully told me about their college years, where they were involved in the lesbian community, before in their early 20s realizing that it was “more” than that. About how they only moved back home and got married after their college degree because the thought of being a disappointment to their family, and being disowned, felt impossible to cope with. So they got married to a man that they admit they don’t feel any ounce of attraction towards, and had several kids, and they’re not quite the pride to their parents as their siblings (due to being slightly more reclusive, not really having friends to speak of that aren’t just church ladies that they work with, and, admittedly, always seeming a bit depressed to me). They said that they were proud of me for doing what I needed to do, though, and they were happy that my family at least wasn’t disowning me.

Nobody else in our community knows. Not their family, not their husband, not their kids, not the people they do church outreach with.

And whenever I read stories of forgotten trans men, I always think of them. They’re still alive! They’re still here! And nobody but me will probably ever know! And if I hadn’t come out in this tiny little community, I’d never know either!

Idk. Sorry for the vent/rant. Thank you for listening. It crushes me to be the only one who knows them as a man, sometimes.

Thank you for sharing. These are the transmasculine stories we need to be telling more and louder.
