Hi there I don’t know who follows me even... Apparently there are 22 of you though... I’m just logging back on after like a year? ish? I’m a non binary playwright who’s looking for pals and support.

I recently moved to Chicago, and I’m hoping to find friends online since I’m not doing great finding them in person. Any other playwrights or people who support me would be great to engage with.

Being asexual is very depressing from an evolutionary standpoint. It’s the “you had one job” of the natural world.

Some trans guy tips from your dad

Don’t try that mascara/arm hair shit. I’ve been passing for more than a year with short, blond arm hair. It’s not an important secondary sex characteristic.

Board shorts (without pockets in the front) do wonders to minimize the width of your hips. Always choose board shorts over swim trunks. Choose them over cargo shorts if it’s appropriate.

Speak from your chest, never from your head.

The goal of binding should not be an entirely flat chest; you should bind for your body type.

GC2b makes the best binders out there, and their products are designed specifically for trans men/transmasculine people.

It might seem useless if you’re pre-T, but working out can be a big help for dysphoria.

Eyebrows are really important to passing pre-testosterone. Muss that shit up. Make them look unkempt.

When you ask for a haircut, make sure the edges in the back are squared, not rounded.

If you have peach fuzz, I would advise shaving it. Cis guys shed theirs when they go through puberty. Shaving can also help with facial hair dysphoria.

Don’t ever buy a binder from Amazon. They run in strange sizes (I was an XXL even though I’m a M in GC2b) and take weeks/months to come. It’s also difficult to breathe in them after a few hours.

Adding a couple things.

-Patience is a virtue you need to come to terms with. Even on T, things take time. My voice dropped immediately, but my cycle continued for 6 months. We’re all different.

-In the summer, HYDRATE YOURSELF. A binder is an extra layer, and mine have always been very warm.

-When its not too hot, layers are your friend. You’d be surprised what even simply an undershirt can do to smooth out your look.

-You are going to get misgendered. This is a fact, and it sucks. Learn to politely correct people. Remember you might be the first (openly) trans person they meet, so be a good ambassador.

-When you start T, your smell will change. You will sweat like you’ve never sweat before, and it WILL STINK. Adjust your bathing habits accordingly.

If you have a really large chest you might do better with Underworks binders. They aren’t pretty, they’re not soft, but they do a good job and were the first on the market for a very long time. I couldn’t stand gc2b so if you’re like me, try Underworks.

Don’t double bind.

DON’T USE DUCK TAPE. I still have scars from a dumb decision I made as a teen and I’m 31 now.

When the time comes for top surgery, shop around. Find someone who will tailor your chest to your needs. Look at their portfolio. Compare surgeons. See if you can find someone who will work with your health insurance if you have it.

Be safe. Be healthy. Take your time. It’s not a race or a competition.

Ok for some god awful reason YouTube recommend this to me.

It’s a surprisingly well edited fan video shipping Jim from Treasure Planet with… I guess both Ariel and her daughter Melody???

The video starts off like it’s Jim x Melody but then the prince cheats on Ariel with Princess Odette from tge Swan Princess???and then he goes to. Brothel made up of Jasmine and Esmeralda and bangs Jessica Rabbit bc she looks like Ariel?????? Then prince Eric murders his wife and child the end.

emmersdrawberry

Ok so let me break this down for you guys.

We begin with our protag, Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet, arriving on the CGI ship from Frozen to whatever town Ariel and Prince Eric live in ok whatever.

Good honest Jimmy immediately becomes enthralled by the feminine wiles of Melody, the 12 year old half mermaid daughter of Ariel and Eric. Who is 12. Jim is 17.

They have some pleasant chit chat on the beach, as 12 and 17 year olds tend to do. Then Jim, for some reason, is at the ball (birthday? saturday night jam session?) for Melody because I guess 12 year olds have balls in this thriving beach-side society of terrible merpeople human hybrids. Jim appears smitten, gazing lovingly upon Melody’s bitchin’ eyebrows. I wish I knew how to fill in my eyebrows that good.

THIS IS QUICKLY TURNING INTO ROMEO AND JULIET AND I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE

Ariel, meanwhile, watches a 17 year old space drifter flirt-bonding with her prepubescent child with the kind of sweet nostalgic smile only a woman who has felt the touch of an older man knows. The viewer appears to be only person in this universe feeling concerned.

BUT WAIT. Trouble in paradise for Ariel as Jim witnesses Prince Eric and Princess Odette, the vicious homewrecker, from The Swan Princess(was that disney? i dont think that was disney?) sharing a romantic moment in a super public place that isn’t very good for infidelity you wanna keep under wraps.

Mr. Hawkins breaks the news to Ariel, in a tense sea-side moment wrought with raw emotion and tension.

In a later scene Ariel joins Jim and Melody on the beach, where she remembers her days as a hot underage mermaid. Jim apparently now lusts after Ariel? Or did he not lust after Melody in the beginning and it was suppose to be like a sister-brother kind of situation that we where looking too much into? Is he in love with both an older woman and a younger woman that happen to be mother and daughter? I am still not resolved.

Ok so Jim definitely is in love with Ariel who turns him down, despite having watched him lovingly from her window in a prior scene. Jim has only one option…

Go to a brothel! Where Jasmine and Esmeralda are apparently supplementing their incomes with sex work. Apparently disgusted by their hip swaying Jim’s attention is drawn to…Jessica Rabbit. Who also lives in Little Mermaid Town because why not.

ARIEL’S FUCKING FACE SUPERIMPOSED ON JESSICA RABBIT

In a confrontation with Ariel over her supposed flirting with Jim, despite documented accounts of Eric’s own infidelity with a human-bird monster, Eric absolutely loses his shit and attacks Ariel with a fucking sword.

Then orders what I think is the Russian army from Anastasia to pistol whip his daughter unconscious. I am not sure if Eric thinks Melody is the hidden daughter of Ariel and Jim, even though she looks exactly like Eric, or if he’s just totally insane. It’s never really explained.

Eric has Ariel and his own daughter locked up in the dungeons, teaching his daughter that if mommy is a dirty flirt you get the shackles too I guess. Then suddenly I guess a fire starts and shit get’s real for Ariel and presumably Melody.

Jim Hawkins bravely rushes to the scene, facing the fires to save his mother daughter love triangle. Only to find that the flames have claimed their lives and he is too late. There is no word about Eric or the world-wide war between magical mermaids and humans he’s started by murdering the youngest daughter of the literal king of the sea.

Maybe the real treasure was the mermaid love triangle he found along the way.

besides the fact that there are random pieces of other disney movies (the cafe from princess and the frog, the library and the mob and the tavern from beauty and the beast), this is a WILD RIDE. and because it’s a wild ride i did a little research and this is JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG OF VIDEOS THIS PERSON MADE. not only are they non-disney/disney, but they’re all kinds of combinations, there’s MORE of ariel and jim, of melody and jim, and this person has a WHOLE WEBSITE just for these videos.

FIRST here’s the official plot summary of this beautiful video:

Storyline: Jim travels to a new kingdom, where he unexpectedly meets Princess Melody. The two immediately hit it off, and she even invites him to her party. Jim obviously stands out against the wealthy crowd, but he and Melody aren’t deterred by the constant gawks and stares of her peers as they join in on a dance together. The next day, Ariel sees her daughter hanging out with Jim. She’s happy for her, but a slight feeling of self-pity comes over her because she constantly has to bear the secret of her husband, Eric, who is having an affair with Odette. She remembers the day she found out about his mistress, and her happiness is replaced with sorrow and slight envy. One night, Jim happens to see Eric with his mistress, and he immediately grows to dislike the man for his disregard to his wife, family and kingdom altogether. Eventually, Jim comes across Ariel and he decides to befriend her out of pity. Ariel confides in him, and the two form a new friendship. So all three start hanging out together, mostly because Jim doesn’t want Ariel to feel left out due to her situation. However, as time goes on, Jim starts to see Ariel differently because of her maturity, sense of humor, experience, and confidence. Ariel starts to slowly fall for Jim too, but mainly due to the “hero syndrome”, and for the fact that she doesn’t feel lonely or neglected around Jim. Melody is clueless as to what is going on with her mother and Jim, and sadly, Jim would rather keep it that way to avoid hurting her feelings. One night, Jim decides to confront Ariel about their feelings for each other, but she doesn’t give in as easily as he hoped, so he leaves to vent his sexual frustration out at a brothel. It should be obvious who he’s sexually attracted to at this point because he goes for the redhead of the brothel (Jessica Rabbit), who clearly reminds him of Ariel. The same night, Eric confronts Ariel about her encounter with Jim. Ariel thinks its hypercritical of him to try and judge her on such things when he himself is having an affair. This angers Eric and so he has her locked away and his daughter attacked. This even starts a revolution, and a huge crowd of people break into the kingdom and fight back the monarchy. Unfortunately, Jim exits the brothel right after the fighting begins, and he tries to save Melody and Ariel, but he is too late. The palace had completely burned to the ground and their lives were lost. He finds a picture of them on the ground though and decides to take it for safekeeping… Editor’s Note: So this story sort of went by fast and in a slightly different direction than I intended, BUT I think I got my point across. As I stated in my first preview, this video was meant to be a mixture of “Stacy’s Mom” and the film “Malena”. If you know both, then you might recognize some themes I followed from each concept. First of all, I know most of you love Jim and Melody, and I didn’t make this video the way I did to “hate on it”, I made it to tell a very complicated and mildly mature story. Jim does have feelings for Melody, but she’s still very young to understand some mature things like sex, intimacy or certain life experiences. Ariel, however, is a woman, and knows more about life than Melody would at this point, and Jim can’t help but be attracted to her in a mature, sexual way. Of course, it’s not just sex he wants from her, it’s just about everything she is that Melody isn’t yet. Sadly he starts to see Melody as a companion rather than a girlfriend. However in the end, his feelings for both may be different for each other, but he cared for them equally. So it hurt twice as much when he lost both…

there’s a lot to unpack here, but i’m glad we got it straight. now apparently people loved the video so much, that there are fandom controversies, and this person made THIS video to clear some shit up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vvcZQZ3d_M

my thing is YEA TREASURE PLANET IS GREAT BUT WHY IS JIM HAWKINS SUCH A PIMP?

please god watch these videos i mean look at this gold:

here’s all their videos….GODSPEED MY FRIENDS.

Saving this

Being Androgynous

All of my clothes were strewn across my bed. I had tried everything on like three times at least. I just didn’t like it. Half my clothes were things my step-mom or my aunt or my grandmother had bought me. The other half were things I felt pressured to wear to fit in with people I often hung out with. Tight tops and dresses and heels and makeup. Shoulder length blonde hair.

I hated it. I thought at first that I was just insecure. I wasn’t as pretty as those other girls I partied with. My hair wasn’t as nice; my clothes weren’t as nice. I didn’t feel like I fit in. I thought I needed to dress better. And then there was makeup. I had always felt the need to wear it to every event, even daily. I didn’t like to, and I thought it was because I was bad at it.

I bought a few pieces I would never wear out. A plain top, jean shorts, sweatshirts, button ups. I had never felt more comfortable in clothing than I had in those simple, loose pieces. The more clothes I bought, the more I realized it wasn’t that I was jealous. I did not look like those girls I was comparing myself to. I didn’t want to.

I slowly bought pieces that made me feel comfortable to wear. They weren’t ‘girly,’ per say. They were simple, blacks and greys, slimming without being tight or revealing. They weren’t meant to overly show my body or direct attention to my femininity.

The makeup was next. I couldn’t stand wearing it so I slowly lessened the amount. Soon, I wasn’t wearing any. Occasionally, eyeliner was fun. Highlighter, too. I no longer felt the necessity to wear it, though. I felt like it could be a nice addition to who I am.

I still didn’t feel like me, though. I hated my hair. I dyed it that stupid color to fit in. So I dyed it something I liked. Grey. Blue. Pink. Purple. Red. I had never felt more like myself. In the end, I had to cut off all my dead hair. I thought I hated it at first, that awful mom cut where it was the same length all the way around. Then, I shaved it. I was wrong; those colors didn’t make me myself. I just liked my hair being the most attracting detail. I shaved the sides, the top long, and for once, I felt as ambiguous on the outside as I did on the inside.

I wasn’t a girl with blonde hair and careful makeup in rompers and dresses. I was a badass with shaved sides and black hair, styled carefully to be messy. I wore loose leggings and jeans and sweatshirts and loose tanks. It wasn’t that I didn’t like my body. It was that I had never portrayed it properly.

I didn’t dress like a girl. Not at all. And I still felt out of place because I dressed weird for a girl. But do you know who I didn’t dress weird for? An androgynous female.

I liked that word, androgynous. It felt like a nice jacket I could shrug on. A reason that I wasn’t wrong for being me. A signal that I wasn’t alone.

At first, I was worried when I went home. I still wore partially feminine clothes and makeup. Slowly, though, I stopped caring, especially after I cut my hair. I can still feel it in the way my dad looks at me when we go places. I can tell he is confused why I prefer loose t-shirts and no makeup when everyone else wore earrings and bracelets and lacy tops.

Those insecurities melted away as I built my closet. Nothing in it made me feel uncomfortable. I felt like me. It wasn’t that I didn’t like my body. It was that I didn’t like how it had been portrayed.

My new favorite thing is my father’s reaction to my hair. Like when I first shaved it. It was shock, confusion, and a little anger. It didn’t make me insecure, though. It made me laugh. I guess it was a confirmation that I didn’t look like that same stereotype people expected.

It’s important to feel comfortable in your body in every way. And I love that word still, androgynous. It’s such a strong part of who I am. It makes me love how I look even more, to know that there’s a community out there who dress like me. There are models dedicated just to my look.

So no, I don’t care that to most people I’m weird. I’m the kind of person that people think are a dyke or might mix up my pronouns. I actually like that. I don’t want you to assume my identity from my clothes. And no, I don’t want to look like a stereotype. I look pretty fucking amazing, actually. There’s a whole model line dedicated to how I look.
