there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

How do you know you're not Asexual? Maybe you just haven't met the right nobody.

[aroaceenjolras]

This "allosexuality" thing is just a phase. You just need to have really bad sex, and then maybe you'll change your mind.

"Peggle make phone calls" has become shorthand for "fuck it, whatever" for me but no one ever knows what im talkingabout and it's also longer (longhand?)

the reason why i think so many alloromantic people outright refuse the idea of "aromantic subtext" being a legitimate thing is that people view aromanticism as inherently shallow. to a lot of queer fandomites, "aromantic" is what they make the side character they don't really care about, so they don't have to bother coming up with actual analysis of their interpersonal relationships. it sucks, because aromantic narratives in fiction, intentional or otherwise, are worth exploring, analysing, and appreciating.

I truly sacrificed to create this ridiculous mug. biting clay is a bad sensory experience 😔 who would have guessed

I’m tempted not to glaze the bite marks so it looks like it was bitten through the glaze lmao

[the-aro-agenda]

i'm not saying this a Pervasive Societal Problem or something but i do feel like sometimes people will invoke the asexual community to punch down on the aromantic community. like girl i also think "everyone get more asexual now" could be an incredible sister slogan to "everyone get more aromantic now." you don't have to imply that it's less important that people unlearn amatonormativity

I love my local strawberry festival because it's what I imagine a sports game feels like to people who really love a sports team. Or maybe a boy band concert in the 90s. Or Oktoberfest. Look at us all wearing our matching outfits themed around this thing we like. Let's get swag and novelty drinks. Go strawberries.

i remember when i was first exploring being trans online and that stereotype of the soft, emotional “small bean uwu tboi” was still very prevalent as the absolute worst thing a trans man could be. and obviously this was due to misogyny, everyone can agree with that, young transmascs were having toxic masculinity pushed onto them by misogynistic older transmeds.

but what i think is very interesting is the fact that this misogynistic, toxically masculine stereotype of the “transtrender” is still being used against trans men by people on this website who also paradoxically claim that theyre being feminist.

like think about it. “theyfab” is just another word for transtrender. “birthday boy” is just another way to call a transmasc overly emotional and therefore feminine. literally every insult for transmascs they oppose is based around belittling them for not being masculine enough. you guys are not being feminists here.

How come I see very little mention about how many Black and other dark skinned folks are banned off this platform, huh? What about the Black people that were termed? What about the Indigenous folks that were termed too? Hello? Are we forgetting this hellsite terms more than just white trans women? Why are we ignoring how many people are termed as a whole to focus on the white bloggers?

[tboy-cock]

Something that bugs me about people who say trans men and transmascs are targeted by transphobes in general and the current political administrations specifically is the fact that just a few months ago Trump brought a detrans girl (woman? Not sure if she was still underage or just turned 18 but regardless still very young) to when he addressed the nation and talked about the dangers of trans ideology and how they needed to save innocent girls from the evils of transgenderism cause it was mutilating girls

Like we are literally targets!! The transphobes in charge literally want us detransitioned and impregnated and if they cant do that then dead. They say it with their own words yet people still tell us that we're making things up

i think the thing that pisses me off most is the misrepresenting of the transmasc experience. like people will say that we dont experience transphobia, and the extent of the transphobia that we experience is people wanting to "protect" us from the evils of being trans

the thing about that is "protecting" trans men to them is forcibly detransitioning us. even terfs who claim to accept trans men are only accepting of us if we detransition to some extent. also, thats just not accurate, anyway. trans men are raped for being trans, we literally experience some of the highest rates of sexual assault in the lgbt community. we are also called pedophiles and groomers and predators and rapists. most of the bills targetting trans women only dont mention trans men because we were already affected before the modern bill was passed. we are also misgendered and threatened with violence, and are often the victims of violence

i saw someone a while ago put this into really good phrasing, i dont remember who it was and that sucks because i use this phrase CONSTANTLY, "trans men aren't invisible, our struggles are." trans men are attacked in the shadows and people claim that we arent attacked at all, and if we are its not as severe as what trans women experience, and neither of those things are true. and even other trans men, when talking about the violence that theyve experienced, will follow it up with "obviously trans women have it worse, but" and its like NO!! DONT DO THAT!!! DONT GIVE THEM FUCKING ANYTHING! we suffer even when people refuse to see it

another thing ive said consistently is "trans mens invisibility and erasure isnt a side effect of trans womens hypervisibility, it is a deliberate effort to silence us, done by both wider society and within the trans community"

I wanna get back to writing full fic eventually so I’m gonna have a slow start by writing some scenes from this au - I haven’t written in forever and make no promises about finishing anything but please lmk if its any good

Buck stares at Tommy’s phone screen like he’s never seen one before. His first reaction is a painful tug on his heartstrings when he sees that his contact name still reads “Evan ❤️”, meaning that Tommy has never changed it, even during all their time apart.

But that tiny spark of hope is largely overshadowed by the cold feeling that slams into him when he sees Tommy’s text, the text he never got, and the reply coming from his own number.

Don’t contact me again.

“I… I didn’t… send this,” he mutters quietly, confused, “What..”

“Buck-” Tommy is using that tone with him, painfully gentle, but his blood is rushing in his ears so fast he barely hears it.

“I didn’t send this,” he says louder, “What the hell, Tommy, I swear I never even got that text!”

He wrestles his basket of baked goods onto his hip, fumbling in his jeans for his phone, he pulls up his messages and thrusts the screen at Tommy, who pockets his own phone and takes Buck’s with both hands. He looks at it for a few seconds, then back up at Buck like he’s searching for something in the desperation on his face.

Tommy moves half a step so he’s no longer blocking the door.

“Come on in, Evan. We need to talk.”

“Fat people are promoting obesity” why do we never talk about skinny people promoting eating disorders then?

Edit before people start clowning:

People constantly tell fat folks that they're “promoting obesity.” Whether they're discussing body positivy and/or fat liberation, whether they're filming a grwm, or whether they're (God forbid) posting about food, fat people are constantly met with those kinds of remarks, to the extent that it has lost any original meaning it might've had. It has simply become a cudgel with which to beat fat people out of public life.

Meanwhile, there are upteen billion wellness influencers, fitness coaches, and celebrities pushing the latest fad diets, calorie restriction, and whichever supplements pay them them most, as well as the latest miracle weight loss surgeries, pills and injections. Extreme weight loss is being glorified and disordered eating is being splattered across social media rn, yet the people who are so concerned with fat people and obesity are curiously silent on this. This, in spite of the fact that eating disorders, extreme weight loss and malnutrition also have severe health repercussions, if you survive them at all.

Fat people are told they're “promoting obesity” just for existing, while extreme weight loss is being simultaneously normalised. The double standard is deafening

[ I am not posting this looking for a debate, so if you leave an argumentative comment or just seem like you've missed the point, I'll ignore you. I'm not interested in proving to randos on the internet that my own damn experiences have happened ]

[itsabear]

And like, theres some serious open promotion of eating issues. Celebrity with their diet books, and interviews discussing how they got their shape, it's always disordered eating. Not only are the extremely skinny celebrities themselves part of the pressure to be skinny, they will also just straight up literally promote eating disorders.

Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.

Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️‍🩹🦅

[felysha]

Today is the anniversary of the death of Jonathan Joss (King of the Hill, Parks and Rec). Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who died protecting his transgender husband, on the first day of Pride month. Today we remember him and how he protected his family.

Possible Ko-Fi scam, beware.

I got this message today on my Ko-fi inbox. It seemed sus, so I didn't use the link and went to my profile to see if there's anything that needs approval. Everything there seems fine.

It MIGHT be a scam. Especially since ko-fi automated mail said 'Support sent you a direct message'. Which... doesn't sound like something actual site would send if there WAS an issue. The user is just named 'Support'.

Let me know if anyone else had this happen.

[scam-alerts]

It would seem that the 'verify your account' scam is now on ko-fi, be careful ko-fi users!

Remember to read the full url path!

ko-fi.com (real) is NOT the same as ko-fi.editprofile.my (scam website)

This means the actual website, the SCAM website, is editprofile.my.

If you don't know how urls work see my reblog here:
