-My Porn Has No Sex

A repository of thoughts on demisexuality, gender identity, gender transformation fiction, and other things. Because of course. You can call me either Lyodor or Emily. Please use she/her pronouns.

12, 2D, Chernabog. I'll be *really* impressed if you can pull this one off.

I hope this is considered “pulling it off” because wow was this fun to draw

for the color palate + emoji thing: 6, 1e, whoever your favorite gem is (i'm not in the fandom but i figure you know who to pick)

The color palette was too perfect to NOT do Ruby and Sapphire!

I just spent three hours sitting in one place, unable to sleep because I’m hungry, unable to feed myself because I don’t have the energy to cook or leave the apartment, and I don’t have anything readily edible.

Then I remembered that I stashed away a can of sardines this weekend for *precisely* this eventuality.

If Gishwhes has taught me anything this year, it’s that despite whatever strides I think I’ve made, I *really* need to see a therapist.  I just wish I didn’t have paralyzing anxiety over precisely the type of bureaucratic system I have to navigate in order to find one. One step at a time.  Eat, sleep, do shopping in the morning.  Make sure you keep eating.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I can also see my own reflection in the glass wall that separates it from me.

Aaaaand relapse a few days later.  Here’s a plus, this time I managed to channel my negative energy into looking up a psychologist.  I couldn’t bring myself to navigate my insurance company’s offerings, but I found someone private who seems to cover all the issues I want to cover, and he speaks English (native), and he seemed very helpful over the phone, so I set up a preliminary session on Monday.  It’s going to be expensive, but I probably wouldn’t get *anything* set up any other way.  And when it’s a choice between doing a ton of work that will just make my problems worse, or paying a premium to get someone I can approach with some level of confidence, the premium is probably worth it.

headcanon that natasha paints everyone’s toenails when they fall asleep in the commons rooms of stark tower 

it starts out as a joke to get back at tony for eating her leftovers but then she smiles to herself when she catches him admiring his sparkly gold nails & starts sneaking into his lab when he passes out in there to redo them & then moves on to planning out the colors for the rest of the avengers

& then she sees clint telling bruce that his bright purple nails are better than bruce’s pastel purple ones which dissolves into a conversation about the merits of the color purple & she thinks she’s on to something great

steve wakes up from an exhaustion induced nap after a particularly brutal undercover mission overseas in the living room & takes a look at his alternating red white & blue nails & just shrugs because everyone else’s are done & he’s seen other men with polished nails on tv sometimes so it must be a 21st century thing 

when bucky gets comfortable & recovers enough to openly fall asleep in such a communal area he wakes up with his toenails painted black with a silvery glitter top coat but later he asks natasha to redo them so they match steve’s

thor outright asks natasha to do his & his toenails end up a truly electrifying shade of blue that makes everyone’s eyes hurt but thor laughs in delight & thanks natasha & says he cannot wait to show his lady jane

they all get so used to it that natasha stops doing it while they’re asleep & it becomes a tradition during avengers movie night & she sometimes does their fingernails too but rarely because in their line of work it lasts for less than a week & starts taking so many color requests from the rest of the avengers that she has to order more online

meanwhile natasha’s toenails & fingernails are always red & they never seem to chip even after a rough mission & the other avengers always ask how she does it but she just smirks at them & tells them she’s just that good

so when the new avengers team moves in (wanda, vision, sam, rhodey) & see everyone’s nails the avengers just say it’s an avengers thing

wanda just goes with it & immediately asks for red nail polish & natasha is more than happy to oblige & they bond over it & vision doesn’t even blink while rhodey & sam exchange glances & sam wonders aloud, “do all superheroes do this?”

natasha just smirks at them as she gets out the huge box that contains her extensive collection of nail polish

TFW you add a long post to a really important thread on Facebook, and then realize you just do not want to deal with any of the possible responses.

[petachtikvah]

Grah, the guy responded, and someone else responded, and then the guy PM'd me and I don't want to read any of it

@ my trans girls who are tight on cash, this blog keeps track of online sales on clothes and makeup and it updates all the time so if you ever need to get ahold of some inexpensive makeup or clothes fast, they’ve got your back

[estrogene-deactivated20171022]

ive been following sales-aholic for a while now and I gotta say it’s such a life (and money) saver. it is updated VERY frequently (multiple times a day with new deals or reminders on ongoing deals), and the deals range from modest and mildly helpful to significant and mind-blowing. I’ve utilized some of these deals multiple times and they’ve always

worked,

been very well-manufactured and cute clothing (which this blog has no control over, to be clear), and

helped me fight dysphoria while saving a few bucks.

seriously, follow this blog, y’all. especially you trans girls who have trouble affording many (or any) new clothes. 

[sales-aholic]

I’m so happy to help and support the trans community! :)

I have a personal rule that says “don’t judge people.”  No matter what.  Never do it.  You can be an objectively horrible human being, and I will still try to reach out to you if I have the chance.  Sometimes I might need time to collect myself, but I will always make that effort in some way.  I mean, if a person is specifically unhealthy to me, I will not hesitate to separate them from my life, but you can’t change someone if you don’t let them get close to you.

Which can mean different things.  Sometimes it means socio/politically.  Sometimes it means introducing them to something new.  But for me, usually, what it means is teaching them that there are people out there who are willing to pay attention to them.

Because a lot of times, that’s just what someone needs.  A person in a rough patch who will figure themselves out eventually, but needs a confidence boost in the here-and-now.  And usually if you ask me why, my answer would either be “because my mom spent her career working with autistic kids, so I grew up learning to respect everyone,” or “I once had zero friends.  I know what it’s like, and nobody needs to go through that.”

But a friend of mine just moved back into the country after being away for a while, and when she left she fell squarely into this category.  Most people would find her difficult to be around, and she wasn’t in the best situation.  I saw her for about an hour earlier this week, though, and she seems to be doing a lot better.

I’m not trying to take any credit for that.  If I deserve any at all, it’s likely a very small amount.  But I think it’s really amazing to see someone make that kind of step forward.  It’s a challenge.  An accomplishment.  Something potentially life-changing.  And I have the privilege to see it.

So I think that’s really why I have this rule.  Because I believe that everyone has the capacity to become better versions of themselves, that everyone starts off bad and figures out ways to improve.  And if I write people off just because they haven’t improved yet, then I miss watching them grow.  And being able to be there to witness that transformation, that click from sapling to tree, is about the most rewarding thing I can imagine.
