ive been thinking about how some trans spaces and media lack representation of bottom surgery and itd be nice if we could talk about and depict it more. but my attempts to formulate this into a coherent thought lead me to standing in front of the microwave idly thinking "we should normalize men with penises" as if thats a brave new frontier nobody has ever considered.

I like this post. Because it shows that sometimes, what at the surface sounds like reinforcement of the norm, is actually necessary for a minority that's not included in the norm.

Y'all have seen this post, right?

It was a vaguepost of a trans man who complained about feeling pressure to be feminine. Yet people refer to it completely outside of queer context.

I've been trying to write a post for a very long time, about how it kind of skeeves me out that if I see an f/f fanfic with a trans character, 99.9% of the time it's some missionary PiV sex with maybe a little straight-from-redtube-oral. Tits and dick across the board, used exactly the way a cis guy would use them. Functionally indistinguishable from omegaverse f/f. And it comes across like this is not so much people actually wanting trans characters in their fic, as people wanting to write conventional hetero PiV and slapping a real-world identity on it to make the kink seem woke.

But I too struggle with the issue of how the fuck you make that post without coming across like "revolutionary thought: women without dicks."

Imagine how absolutely baffled a Roman soldier from like 0 AD would be upon being transported suddenly to a very Christian rural midwestern town and seeing crosses everyfuckingwhere

He’d draw a lot of somewhat incorrect conclusions about our culture very quickly

I was going to say “weird and arbitrary things are marked with the threat of execution” but yours is funnier

Hiromu Arakawa’s genius is obvious throughout all of FMA but her first and biggest leap of genius was in how she crafted her protagonist. 

Arakawa realized the burgeoning youth of the early 2000s wasnt interested in another plucky spry optimistic young shonen protag. Instead she gave us a short ugly egotistical asshole smarter-than-you atheist with so much money and power that people could no longer best him in arguments by telling him “dude shut up ur literally like 12″ 

Five pages in we’re told Edward’s famous and rich and powerful. Five more pages and he’s calling some girl stupid for thinking God exists. Five more pages and he’s proven right. Five more and he’s kicked an evil priest’s teeth in. And no one can tell his mom on him.

Hiromu Arakawa figured out the dream of every edgy young weeb discovering internet arguments for the first time and she cast them an idol made of gold.

this has been sitting in my drafts for a while because i wasn't sure how to articulate it, but i think i finally put my finger on it. iron lung is a movie with some major christian references but it doesn't feel marginally....not even christian, but religious in general (which, for a movie where a guy personally meets a god sure is something) i say this as someone who deeply dislikes surprise!christianity in media, so i would have clocked it right away, but i got nothing. it's neither evangelizing, nor critical. it's not even like yeah we're totally neutral because it's irrelevant to the story, but if you do a bit of digging you'll find enough hints to figure out christianity (specifically of the american evangelical flavor) remains spiritually/culturally significant +300 into the future.

and then i realized it's just vibes. eden is just a name that suggests enough people agreed it's nicer to live on the space station than down on mars (and yeah, this would be a cultural reference but i don't think it's anything more than that). the last tree is important because it's the last tree. religions have been built around lesser things than the only non-human living entity in the universe. 'rapture' is a slightly antiquated word for being taken away, and in any case if simon is correct occam razor-ing it, the people who were taken away are shown to be desperate and miserable. and still the movie isn't all 'as opposed to the christian concept of the rapture, our interpretation is.....' because there isn't any. it's just vibes. you know those stories where the inciting incident is like oh the moon blew up or the sun is turning off, but they don't go into why because what happens next is more important? this is like that.
