The “cis is a slur” shit is so funny because you know the people who say that are using transphobic slurs in every other sentence and assuming that cis is derogatory because all of the terms they use for trans people are so the terms transgender people use to refer to their identity must be demeaning too. It’s not but if they do invent a slur against cisgender people, I will be using it. Fuck off, default settings.
trans men and transmascs do need to hear they aren't hurting anyone for being masculine, but more than that they need to hear that they are loved for being masculine. your masculinity is wonderful and magical and you pull it off incredibly well. your masculinity is cool, it's desirable, it's attractive. there are people out there who will be drawn to you because of your masculinity, not just in spite of it. you deserve more than just to be tolerated in queer spaces. your masculinity deserves to be celebrated
Hoppers could’ve been a good movie about environmental activism but no; just corporate propaganda and good ol Disney slop. Not only that, but the pacing is awful and the story has a lot to be desired. It’s like Disney/Pixar are afraid to let things breathe and let us feel or process what just happened.
“It just means you have to work double as hard as most people!”
Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!
Why do you think disabled people deserve less rest than mentally & physically abled people?

You're sipping your morning coffee one morning when you catch a glimpse of him through the kitchen window. Wayne is crouched on your front porch, his toolbox open beside him, focused on that loose third step. It’s hard to believe you only mentioned it casually a few days ago while everyone was gathered around the tailgate of his truck, laughing and sharing stories.
Your heart does a little flip.
Setting your mug down as you walk outside, you hear the screen door creak softly as you push it open. He doesn’t look up, just continues to work the drill with a steady rhythm.
“What are you doing?” you ask.
“Fixin’ your step,” he replies, his tone flat and straightforward.
“I can see that,” a hint of amusement creeping into your voice.
“Then why’d you ask?” he counters, not missing a beat.
You cross your arms, trying to suppress a smile. “Wayne.”
“Yep.” He gives the board a test with his boot, seemingly satisfied, and begins to gather his tools.
“I mentioned that a few days ago,” you remind him.
“And?”
“And you just… decided to fix it? This morning?”
He stands up, brushing sawdust off his jeans, and finally meets your gaze with that serious expression that sends a flutter through your stomach. “You said it was botherin’ you.”
“So?”
“So I fixed it.” He says it as if it were nothing. “Problem solved.”
The way he looks at you unwaveringly makes warmth creep up your neck. He listened and remembered. He came over on a Saturday morning just because you had mentioned a loose step once.
“You didn’t have to.”
“Wanted to.”
Those two words linger between you, heavy with unspoken feelings neither of you is quite ready to address. Wayne picks up his toolbox, and you scramble for something to say.
“Well, isn’t this adorable?"
You both turn to see Katy leaning against his truck, a mischievous grin on her face.
“Katy,” Wayne warns.
“What?” She strolls up the newly-fixed steps, testing each one with exaggerated care. “Just admiring my brother’s handiwork. Very thorough. Very… attentive.” She stretches out the last word, her eyes dancing between you two. “Funny how he never fixes things around our place this quickly.”
“Katy.”
“Remember when I asked you to fix the barn door? two weeks ago?”
Wayne’s jaw tightens. “That’s different.”
“Oh, is it?” Katy’s smile is playful. “How’s it different, Wayne?”
You watch as his ears turn red, and something warm and wonderful blooms in your chest.
“I’m gonna go,” he mutters, but Katy steps in front of him.
“You’re gonna go? You just fixed their porch at seven in the morning, and you’re going to leave?” She looks at you, shaking her head. “He’s been talking about this step for three days. ‘Dangerous.’ ‘Someone could get hurt. ’"
“Katy.”
She raises her hands in mock surrender, backing up. “Fine, fine. I’ll leave you two to your… step discussion.” Her grin is utterly shameless. “Great work, Wayne. Real solid. Sturdy.”
As she walks off, Wayne clears his throat, the tension easing.
“So,” you say softly, breaking the silence.
“So.”
“Thank you,” you add, your voice barely above a whisper
i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that
Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.
Simon tends to be avoidant at times, not that he does it on purpose, but when he gets overwhelmed he forgets that he actually has someone to trust now, you.
He always apologizes after his avoidant episodes. “I don't know why i keep doing this, i promise i try to be better for you”
Despite the fact that he always encourages you to talk about your feelings and to always be honest with him, he has a lot of trouble opening up.
Even though he's not into pda Simon is surprisingly very touchy, it helps him feel grounded, real, human.
He loves to be the big spoon but he secretly likes when its his turn to be the little one.
In public he will only give you small tender kisses but in private he goes all in.
Soft dom but VERY easy to switch, one touch and he's already melting.
Simon's aftercare is heavenly.
Gets very talkative after sex, it's the moment where he opens up emotionally the most.
He overthinks a lot, fears of your relationship ending and losing the only real thing he has left.
