Fun fact Sora Kingdom Hearts is actually aromantic. Yeah Nomura told me this himself

[starrysymphonies]

Has anyone else been thinking abt Kairi through an aromantic lens or is it just me with my aromantic tinted glasses

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

is it worth it?

yes!!

the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT

meh it's okay

the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it

Results/option I didn't think of

The fundraiser to help Adriana's family.

Since it’s Spotify Wrapped season I thought I’d share this reminder that streaming services are killing the music industry. Musicians can’t make a living like this. If you love an artist, find them on Bandcamp and actually buy their albums.

[void-admin]

Reminder: This friday (December 5th) is Bandcamp Friday! That means 100% of the proceeds from album sales on Bandcamp go directly to the artists you buy from.

bringing these tweets i made during my tumblr sabbatical over here because im feeling it again

[charlesoberonn]

Anime creators will design so many cool and appealing girls and then make the main character a copy-paste skinny guy with black or brown hair.

[charlesoberonn]

I see a meme with a cute anime girl. I check out the anime she's from. The main character looks like this

when you're feeling full hater mode about a piece of media but you know one of your beloved mutuals enjoys it

[worldspiritultra]

next time a cishet man talks about how he feels oppressed or like ppl are saying he's evil, explain the trans-to-prison pipeline and v-coding to him.

[worldspiritultra]

I wanna get more specific with this. According to some studies, 1 in 3 trans people have experienced workplace discrimination. And nearly 1 in 5 trans people have experienced housing discrimination. As a result of this and family rejection, nearly 2 out of 5 trans women have experienced homelessness. As a result of this, at least 1 in 4 trans women have done sex work (although some studies go as high as 3 in 4). As a result of this, 1 in 5 trans women have reported being incarcerated at some point. Incarcerated trans women experience v-coding:

This is not something that "representation" and saying "trans women are women" will solve.

No one ‘accidentally’ reported you ignore that DM if someone sent you that and no one’s impersonating you that scammed them. Also that random account telling you to message them about something since they can’t DM you is going to tell you that too if you contact them. Also don’t contact that discord account they said to message that’s not tumblrs tech support. Your account isn’t getting deleted in 24hrs.

For the sake of clarity, English should have a second set of pronouns exclusively used when discussing a person who is not the subject of the sentence

[queer-as-city-folk]

This is because gender alone can make it hard to parce who is being referred to in a sentence

[queer-as-city-folk]

For example using xe/xir/xem as a placeholder non-subject pronoun compare these two sentences:

She told her that her dog had left her apartment and was now in her yard

VS

She told Xem that her Dog had left xir apartment and was now in xir yard

[queer-as-city-folk]

I know names are also an option but that feels very weird to say

Alice told Jane that Alice's dog had left Jane's apartment and was now in Jane's yard

[queer-as-city-folk]

Now the question is how do we make the hypothetical non subject pronoun clear when discussing multiple people

She (1) told her(2) about her(3) crush

We have already improved it by making it into

She told xir about xir crush

But how do we distinguish between those two individuals

[tiamatisobscure]

i suggest a set of numerical pronouns indicating the first mention the second mention etc.

pri/prim/pris, du/dum/dus, tri/trim/tris, qua/quam/quas, qui/quim/quis, hexa/hexam/hexis etc etc etc

[queer-as-city-folk]

I really like that actually, it looks cool, can create continuity between multiple lines and is in general just very clear for writing

[queer-as-city-folk]

The only hard part would be immediately establishing who corresponds to which number but I think that could be done through something as simple as numbering each character at the start so Alice (1) Jane(2) Sara(3) Jonathan (4) etc

[tiamatisobscure]

ooo you could even give em prefixes. like instead of mister its prima alice, dua jane, tria sara, quara jonathan. which would also be fun.

[queer-as-city-folk]

That would be really interesting, especially if you assume each person numbers those around them differently starting from pri for themselves. Giving you an instant view into pris relationship with others. So someone may refer to pris close friend as qui but pris mother as centi due to cutting centum off recently

[tiamatisobscure]

oooo i love the social implications of that! opens up the opportunity for insults as well. infi/infum/infus for people who folks think arent worth the air they breathe.

also could have interesting object reference implications. a poet referring to the reflection in the water as dum, or a sailor naming their boat as qua. fun poetry to it!

[queer-as-city-folk]

Oh my god, the implications for poetry!!!

Here are just a few ideas from my head

Referring to a dead lover as pri

Referring to the self as du

Referring to the past self as du, future self as pri, and present self as tri

Messing with the order of pronouns vs introduction in a narrative to create confusion

Another thing fandom needs to start doing more of is projecting on tops.

There are delicious amounts of psychological distress you can inflict on that guy once you get into his head. The brainworms of forcing agency and initiative on someone who genuinely is Not Fucking Ready For It are exquisite.

[honestlyvan]

To quote myself: Domtops in fics are always written to have such uncomplicated and healthy relationships to their sexualities and for my mental health I need us to collectively start giving them complexes about being some kind of monstrous predatory freak of nature instead.

Make that guy have a panic attack b/c someone in his daydream told him to stop and he kept going anyway.

[honestlyvan]

New and improved! Sad Wet Dog of a top is thinking about how he wants to hurt you but doesn't want to hurt you and the contradiction is slowly and steadily making him Lose His Whole Fucking Mind.

Do we have any advice for the young trans woman besides yelling "start hrt" at her

[plainsbison]

be really really consistent with self gendering - it may feel weird at first but use your nouns - " I'm his sister", " I'm her daughter", " I'm an actress" - don't start with "bitch"

[thyfleshc0nsumed]

[sanrio-stud]

remember that every feminist principle you hold for cis women ALSO extends to you as a trans woman; and that there is no right or wrong way to be a woman, only expectations imposed on us by people we have no obligation to perform for. also, genuinely: have fun and be yourself, experiment and grow and reflect and look weird sometimes, but find joy in finding what it all means to you. you've got nothing you need to be and can take it wherever you wanna go 👍🏾
