I love Gangle she’s me fr
"why when someone mentions trans butches is it always transmasc butches? why are there never any transfem butches" well you also post about how you think all masculinity is toxic masculinity so if i'm being honest i think you probably treat transfem butches like shit and they don't like interacting with you
“what’s with the endless talk about he/him transmasc butches but there’s never the same for transfem butches” well see it’s actually the same reason there’s seemingly a dearth of AMABed nonbinary people! it’s because you treat them like fucking dogshit!
everyone in the trans community, including way too many trans women who call themselves transfeminists, plays this funny little game where if you’re transfemme you have to look as close to being a cis woman as possible and if you don’t it means you have internalized transmisogyny or you’re idolizing transmisogynistic caricatures. there’s “no” transfem butches because if you want to be masculine and transfem, you simultaneously have to deal with all the people who think you’re a predatory man and all the people who think you only want to be butch because you don’t understand your gender and the way it’s oppressed well enough.
it’s harder to find masculine trans women because being a masculine trans woman fucking sucks. ask me how i know this
ik pride is all ppl think of when june hits but i also wanna say HAPPY CARIBBEAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH BITCHES ‼️‼️‼️
Is this fandom annoying poll give me your hand and listen to me. every fandom is annoying and being a fan of anything is evil
“I really wanted to hope”
Why are people now saying "LARP" when they mean "poser". It's confusing.
Everyone is always parroting The Buzzword Of The Month without actually knowing what it means or where it comes from, make it stop
Kinda like how "POV" went from "(implied first person) Point Of View" to "there is a video"
The rest of the space is going to be pretty pissed when they see this.
did you google how to take a screen shot
ughhhh
可愛い!! (^▽^) 💚💚💚
Gonna block the tadc spoilers tag for a day or so incase the leaks were fake
To focus on the positives, what's your favourite scene in the entirety of TADC?
💖
when i reflect back on the show trying to choose a favorite moment i realize that most if not all of them are moments where we get to see more of Ragatha's inner struggles. which is funny, i always liked Ragatha from the start but on the same level as the rest of the cast. It wasn't until ep 5 that i thought "oh she's a special thing" and her conversation with Kinger in ep 6 might be one of the most impactful ones for me. though flawed in its conclusion, getting to see Ragatha holding back tears and feeling responsible for everything and the reveal that she hates herself, it all hits close to home and i thought it was beautifully acted and animated, esp her facial expressions and how she struggles to ever be soft on herself. Knowing how the show goes after i have my issues with the advice and how the conversation continued after that but it is still on the list of my favorite scenes just because of her.
same feeling with the scene at the bar where she desperately tries to save the conversation after oversharing by accident.
and if you ask my friends, they will tell you that the one scene i never shut up about it the one with Jax's reaction to Ragatha's apology in ep 5. 🙂↕️ I'll bring it up and i will find a motive to bring it up. I will always love that one. Nobody gets him to lose it like her.
on thursday when the TADC final comes out I plan to repost a lot of black creators. Mainly on instagram but here aswell. Please tag any POC creators in this post and repost them aswell.
This community has been insanely disgusting to large groups of people while dogwhistles to allow it to happen. We can stand up and give a platform to these creators. Giving them a larger following and support is beautiful. Thank you!
Actually the monkeys have unionised. That's their circus now.

I ain't performing squat, buddy
gender is a performance only for the novices.. once you fully mastered gender, it is no longer a performance, whatever you do becomes what your gender does
So we all talk about being in fandoms for things that are charmingly bad, and being able to acknowledge that they’re charmingly bad. But of course some people are in fandoms for things that are Actually Amazing. There are people out there who write fanfiction for The Best Science Fiction Novel Of The Twentieth Century. Or who draw fanart exclusively of The Best Movie of All Time. And there are even more people who are in fandoms for things that are Actually Pretty Good, which is not quite amazing but is closer to it than to Charmingly Bad.
And sometimes, you have a string of fandoms that are Actually Pretty Good. And the danger of this—the very great danger—is that when you have a string of Actually Pretty Good and even Actually Amazing obsessions, you start to believe that maybe you have taste. Perhaps you are now immune to the indignities of losing it over something mostly bad.
And then it is shattering to discover that no, bad things can still stick a fork in your brain. 😔
So I understand why the “transformative fandom gathers around things that are not good because there being a problem makes people desire to fix it” model is popular. I even agree that it’s accurate in many if not most cases. However it is not what this post is about. Plenty of people do transformative and creative fandom activities for things that are very, very good. Simplified models do not encompass everything.
And frankly, it’s starting to really get on my nerves when people read “I think this thing is good. I wouldn’t change a thing about it and frankly I don’t even think there should be more canon added to it, but I am still going to write thousands of words of fic, make a cosplay, and draw fanart” and then completely misunderstand and respond with “yes I agree—I like things that are good too. But I never feel the transformative/creative fandom instinct for them because they are too good.”
Some people do not feel it. Other people do. Stop misreading me to avoid having to adjust your mental model of how fandom works.
one of the ways a Canon work can be fandom bait is by missing something that fans want to fix, i.e. "it's bad", but i think this is only one way out of multiple that something can be fandom bait.
compelling worldbuilding (invites interaction with the setting)
interesting gimmick (see: daemons, drift compatibility. subcategory of compelling worldbuilding)
shipping bait (duh)
original character bait (in-universe categories/factions and design elements that make it fun for people to create their own characters)
compelling narrative (invites interaction and tweaks to the storyline: AUs and fixits and so on)
basically anything that invites interaction and recombination. but fandom also has a sort of multiplying effect: the larger the interactive audience of fandom is, the more likely it is to generate ideas and works that draw in more participants. so:
network effect (the larger the established fandom, the more likely it has subfandoms and infrastructure that appeals to niche audiences)
Yes this exactly, thank you bless.
Things that have space to play in are fandom bait, but space to play in does not equal holes.
i'm going to personally create a phenomenon called having a wrong opinion. normally opinions can't be wrong because they're not based on fact but mine can be. only mine
