transfem t4t aftercare protip
a lot of transfems because of general societal transmisogyny get a pernicious brainworm that their sexuality is inherently predatory and abusive, and this can be made significantly worse after a scene where they're acting as the domme, especially after the emotional crash when it all finishes
so once you're in a mental state to do so (i personally know whenever i sub i take a good 5-10 minutes to be coherent enough to speak again), please please please reassure your domme that you wanted what she did to you and you enjoyed it all, and that your plays at resistance or stopping her were part of the moment and you would have safeworded if it did go wrong. seriously, it helps a lot to be able to hear that directly from the horse's mouth
and even if you do need to call a safeword, once you're emotionally recovered from whatever triggered you enough to need that, your domme is likely panicking that she hurt you permanently and you're going to abandon her and it is always worth reassuring that no, you still love her, accidents happen, things aren't always perfect.
dommes aren't kink dispensers, and transfem dommes are very likely to feel guilty for wanting to express that dominance at all. care for your dommes, y'all, it hurts when we're not cared for.
hi any life advice for 21yo
Don't date thirty-year-olds until you are at least 25.
Having a glass of water for every glass of alcohol will give you a 50% reduction in hangover viciousness.
Bad people will use your willingness to be quiet as a weapon against you. If someone's being awful to you and trusting you'll be quiet to keep from making waves, surprise them.
There is no physical object in the world that is worth as much as your honor.
Honor is not the same as dignity. Retaining one sometimes means leaving the other aside.
Don't have any sex you don't want to have; have as much as you want of the sex that you do, whether that's a lot, a little, or none at all. Nothing you can do to your own body is immoral, unless you're doing it as an act of self-punishment.
Food is morally neutral. You do not have to earn the right to eat calories. Fat and sugar keep your brain from eating itself.
Learning to sit still and breathe--in, in, in, hold, hold, hold, out, out, out, out, out, out--can give you five feet of clear space around yourself in a maelstrom.
Find out how to make three good meals: A comfort meal you can make for just yourself relatively easily, a fancy meal you can use to wow a date, and a meal you can feed a bunch of people. All the other cooking can come later, but you can build a community on those three meals.
If you ever get to the point that things are so bleak you can see no other way forward but to die, make any other choice. If that means leaving everything you own and being a beach bum, or quitting your career, or taking up or leaving a religion, or deciding to bicycle across the country, so be it; living means more chances, dying means everything stops and you don't get to see any more interesting things. As you have not yet seen all the things that can interest you, it is better to live.

Honestly, a big part of why I'm excited about @jdragsky's Seven Part Pact is that it'll be nice to have a baroquely maximalist tabletop-RPG-meets-board-game actually available in print that isn't Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine.
(Like, not that I'm sick of CMWGE by any means, but it would be good to have an example of the type I can recommend to people who would prefer to at least occasionally roll dice!)
I loved your sorcerer art from seven part pact!
what's your thoughts on spp (if you have played)?
Hi! Thank you so much <3 <3 <3 <3 :D
ooh... thoughts on 7pp... I have so many. But in general they are "7PP IS A GREAT GAME AND EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY RIGHT NYOWWWW š£ļøš£ļøš£ļøš£ļøš£ļø"
It really makes you feel wizard-y.
In game, you get to have the grand sense of power as a wizard. There's powerful magic at your fingertips, people respect and/or fear you, etc. But you also have the crushing responsibility of ruling 1/7th of the world, you are subject to strict societal pressure (both which can uplift you or destroy you), and you never have enough time to do everything you want. It's such a tasty balance and statement on the patriarchy+cycles of power.
(Something to be aware of is that the world this takes place in is bigoted. Your wizard cannot openly be a woman, or queer, or let their disabilities disable them, which is not fun for everyone. Your wizard can be diverse, but you have to think about how someone who doesn't fit within societal norms would have to navigate their life)
On the player side, you start to realize that the text can be heavily biased and contradictory. For example, there's a great analogy of wizard magic being art but witch magic being craft (even tho they're both magic. it's the patriarchy!!!). It's really fun picking the text apart to draw your own conclusions.
Another thing I enjoy is how lore is set up. You're given enough to go off with and then can expand upon it yourself. In fact, it's encouraged. There are different player roles specifically for a section of world building (for example, one player is in charge of society and npcs, another is in charge of nature, ect). I've heard someone say that 7pp is not gm-less, but instead gm-full. And I really like that description because you always have something to do as a player when you aren't being your wizard.
I dont really have too many thoughts on mechanics, cause im more on the rp side of ttrpgs. And since it's in playtesting, any kinks are still being smoothed out. But my general thoughts are that for most wizards, there's a nice seesaw between 'omg the world is collapsing' and 'wow this shit is ez' that keeps the game fun and exciting.
always interesting whenever people start talking about polyamory as particularly unstable or prone to jealousy bc it begs the question of if theyāve ever seen or heard of monogamous couples
are you aware that those people are having sincere earnest discussions on whether following someone on social media counts as cheating
i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights
I saw you post about Seven Part Pact on Blusky a while back and immediately felt strong Earthsea vibes. Very delighted to find out those are baked in. Backed, and can't wait to play it. I wanna experience that wizardly hubris.
yessss i hope you enjoy!!!!! it owes a LOT to earthsea. one of the wizards in particular is the mariner, who is very inspired by the sailing wizards of earthsea
i truly think that this recent trend of āif you relate to a post about a different identity than your own you are ~derailing~ and taking over the conversationā is incredibly harmful.
i recently experienced some pretty severe transphobic abuse in my workplace (childrenās home) that included having food thrown at me, being called slurs, being told i was a pervert because i am trans. one of the managers talked with me afterwards and shared that he had had a similar experience as an Asian man. this wasnāt him derailing my experience, or talking over me, or making things about himself. he was communicating āhey, i know how it feels and how much it sucks. youāre not alone.ā
THAT is what solidarity IS. i donāt know what itās like to be Asian, he doesnt know what itās like to be trans, but we both had a similar experience and we were able to turn a horrible experience into an opportunity for bonding and comfort.
stop looking at peopleās attempts as solidarity as an attack. and hey, you never know - you could find an opportunity to grow closer to other people.

Did some playtesting for this and itās truly fun, one of a kind, made for the real magic and mechanics sickos out there
massively expanding the concept of "god of the gaps" to include everything i don't immediately apprehend or understand. dark matter is god. chinese is the language of god. a car with tinted windows is being driven by god

To me the transmascvoices project fails because it exclusively exists to bash transfeminine people.
I think trans mascs do experience sexual violence and there should be spaces where they can discuss it without their masculinity being invalidated. I know thatās something I would have benefited from when I was assaulted.
But thatās not what this is. It does not exist to uplift transmasculine people because it explicitly allows and encourages cis men to post, it is not meant to uplift transmasculine people because they are only allowed to post about abuse that fits the narrative of the blog (transmascs victimized by transfems)
And it does not uplift transmasculine people because ultimately the goal is not actually to support transmasc victims of sexual violence.
Trans men and TME nonbinary people deserve better than this fucking transmisogynistic propaganda blog.
And good GOD Transfemmes deserve to have their voices and stories heard without these whiny babies howling for attention. Crying about how these women telling their stories hurts their feelings.
whoever is drawing those lines around that dog to protect it from bees isn't doing a very good job
