doctor who is the only show where it's like. dystopian future where paying members can go to a premium community reserved for rich aryan types who are obsessed with social media and so racist they'd rather die than accept help from a black man. moving on. the doctor and a charming, roguish, but ultimately kind-hearted loser nerd played by jonathan groff initiate an epic star-crossed romance while in their little period clothes n hair done just so ;) yes the space nerd proposes ;)) moving on DREAD. TERROR. DEATH
The episode names in S14 really were like, "oooh space babies, hmmm 73 yards, hehe dot and bubble, EMPIRE OF DEATH 💀"
Torbin was so Reath-coded this episode.
They can duel it out over who had the worse outcome of having a tantrum about going back to/staying on Coruscant.
this disability pride i wanna keep in mind the disabled people who are in a difficult situation because of their disability. people who were made homeless because of their disability, people who are stuck in abusive homes and can't get out because of their disability. people whose disability was used against them to facilitate abuse, like taking away their autonomy - medical, legal, or otherwise - taking charge of their finances, taking advantage of their vulnerabilities. it's reasonable to think that a lot of disabled people, especially disabled people in difficult circumstances such of these, would struggle to connect with the idea of disability pride. but pride or otherwise, this month should also be disability solidarity month. this month and every month is for all disabled people in all sorts of circumstances
How to ACTUALLY date a trans girl
(This column was originally submitted to Autostraddle as a reply to their "A Trans Guy’s Guide to Picking Up a Trans Girl" but since they've apparently passed on it, it gets to be posted up free everywhere else instead.) Picture this- you’re a trans woman who’s been in transition for three years now. Your dating life has gone from abysmal to amazing in alternate fits and spurts and you’ve found not just one, but three awesome partners despite the many, MANY pitfalls you’ve experienced along the way. And then one day, your social media feeds ping up with screencaps of a guide to picking up girls like yourself. Needing a good laugh, you click through. And read. And proceed to smack your forehead with your own palm in frustration a few times and giggle and some other lines on the first readthrough. But things feel off, so you read again. And begin to seethe. And then start opening up the Word document and start typing frenziedly into it. Because honestly? At the end of the day, as a trans lesbian who dates all sorts of people on non-male parts of the amorphous spectral mass that is Gender, I feel like I’m obligated to. I wanted to go into that first reading and find a column that actually got things right, and this was so far off the mark in the worst ways, so I feel like I have to set some things down on paper. Because this guide reads, in so many ways, like everything my cisfem friends have complained about in the straight dating scene for years. Reading through it that second time, I felt almost the exact same sense of of sheer grease and sleaze that I’ve felt reading incel pickup guides. I felt like I was being seen as a pretty object at best and a disposable sex toy at worst. I wasn’t treated as human. At best it was a bunch of stereotypes, none of which applied to me. But under it all, I saw other bits- the tricks an abuser used to lure me in. The lies my rapist fed me. The excuses made by folks online for why I should be treated like a monster or thing because of my identity. You know, the specific blend of misogyny that singles out transfem identities in general- transmisogyny. And since we’re addressing the elephant in the room, I want to address a few particular points from Gabe’s article before I give you some real idea of how to go about this. And I want to emphasize here- this is after editing out a page of swearing, going over Gabe’s own past history of transmisogynistic writing, and just cutting it down to the actual points where the original article really went wrong, and also pick up a few points at the end that’ll actually work well for trans guys or anyone else who might be interested in a relationship with a trans girl. First off, if you’re trans as well? Stop playing the ‘we’re both trans’ card. ESPECIALLY if you’re coming at it from a ‘Why yes, I used to be a woman’ angle. For one, you’re telling us at the same time that you see us as former men, which is usually very much not the transfem experience (Personally, I always felt like I was putting on a ‘man’ act. All the time. Badly.) and for another, you’re being transphobic to yourself and your own identity. If we’re there to date you, it’s as the man you are- be that guy.
Secondly, just because the trans woman experience shares similarities with the experience you had trying to be a woman up until you came out and transitioned, it also has staggering fundamental differences, and your attempts to relate are going to highlight those differences in ways that aren’t going to work in your favor. We didn’t get to go shopping in public, or if we did, it was fraught with fear at being caught out in the early stages of transition, followed by massive frustrations with both trying to figure out where we fit into women’s sizing. And then discovering that absolutely nothing available in local stores, including thrift shops, would fit right, especially not that cute choker we’d always been drooling over. That nothing smelled right for lotion or perfume because we were dealing with a body chemistry that was going through a slow shift on HRT. And we don’t need or want to be reminded of just how much we stand out from the other girls in those kind of regards.
Also, maybe, just maybe, don’t do things that would get seen as completely misogynistic and creepy if you pulled them on a cisgender woman. Don’t go digging into her socials- stalkers and chasers pull that crap and it’s beyond tiresome. Don’t try to deduce what her pretransition life was like, that’s for her to share, if she chooses to. Don’t see her as a stereotype- some of us never played New Vegas, owned cat ears, or like thigh-highs. On that first date if you ever get there, don’t bring her flowers, lovebomb her like mad, constantly find little ways to touch her, any of that- if she has any experience, she’s waiting for the other shoe to drop in response, because she’s had this treatment before and it ended oh so badly. Just be yourself. And get it through your head that the bear is still definitely a choice regardless of everything- after all, we have examples like Gabe to prove that transmisogyny certainly isn’t limited to cis folks.
What should you do? Treat her like any other woman. Treat her like a human being, because we get so little of that, even from the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community. Yes, you’ll more than likely have to take initiative, because we’re used to seeing our attractions, needs, and desires as being perceived as aggressive or predatory by others. When you touch her, do it with assertion and intent- none of the little brushes and stalker moves- ask if you can hold her hand, or put an arm around her, so she knows you actually want to be here and want contact with her. Listen to her, and pay attention- let her be open and honest about her experiences and interests, and remember what she tells you, because she’s going to need to know that she’s wanted and valued for who she is and what she’s into, and it will be part of how she connects to you. And finally? Common sense and communication- every last one of us is different in a lot of ways, and asking or making room to talk about things from physical contact and sex to social activity or group outings or anything else can save a lot of blunders from ever happening. All in all you can and should date trans women! Please! A lot of the best relationships I’ve ever had were with other trans girls and I don’t regret any of those. But you have to put down the pickup guides, stop seeing us as fetish dispensers and sexy lampshades, and actually deal with us as people, first.
Hey, you liked this post! That's awesome!
But I need your help. I'm stuck in a toxic living situation that's been degrading worse and worse in the last year. If I'm going to get the fuck out of here, I've got to have enough regular income to do it. Which means stuff like my Patreon here needs more subs. You get more of my writing on the regular, including the horror novel that'll be serialized over the next few months. And I hopefully get myself out of here and into somewhere else on my own. So please, hit that link and sign up?

Unpopular Opinion but I think AO3 should try going a year with all Comments and Kudos disabled, if that's what it takes to teach this generation of writers that (fandom) writing shouldn't be able Making Number Go Up
–
And then you’d have no more writers.
Because nobody likes screaming into a void.
What an assholish thing to suggest.
The writers who are supposedly obsessed with having “number go up”, btw, are almost invariably people with a median of zero comments on their fic.
Nobody bathing in feedback because they write popular fics for a juggernaut fandom talks that way.
Writing, scratch that, telling stories, is an attempt to communicate, to connect with our fellow human beings. It’s a fundemental need, to connect, to be heard, to not only have a story, but to tell it to others. And writing a story out is hard fucking work. It’s draining. It is psychologically, emotionally, and intellectually hard fucking work. And in the end, we post our stories so that they will be heard, so that other people will read them, so that the connection will be made. Posting a story is reaching your hand out into the dark, hoping someone will take it.
Getting a kudo, or even better, a comment, tells a writer they’ve been seen. Someone has heard their story, and liked it, liked it enough to respond, to reach out from the dark and take their hand. And when that doesn’t happen, when your fic you worked hard on gets nothing, it hurts. It hurts really bad. Acting like people are selfish or entitled because they tried to make a connection, and they worked really really hard to do it, and nobody reached back, just means you have no idea what’s really going on. No one’s entitled to a connection with you, but you’re not entitled to people continuing to reach out to you if you keep slapping their hands back.
Fanfic writers aren’t trying to be influencers. We aren’t obsessed with the line going up, or numerics, or whatever it is people who make their living vying for our attention need to be obsessed with. We are people telling stories who just want to know that somebody heard it and enjoyed it.
Anon, in an extremely snotty and annoying voice: “i think writers should continue doing all of this unpaid labor and give me free artistic works to revel in but i think they should be explicitly punished for making me feel kind of shitty about the fact that i do nothing in fandom to make the creating of all this art worthwhile hurr durr i am very intelligent”
I have little to add to this argument that others have not already said, except to express my own sense of “OMFG” at the audacity of /anyone/ suggesting such a thing, and in knowing that sadly, there are many people, (too many), out there consuming writers’ and artists’ and other creators’ works essentially ‘for free’ and espousing their entitlement to do so.
If you have taken the time to give kudos or to comment on something our talented fic writers and other creators have made… THANK YOU.
Okay, so…how tf is the writer supposed to know anyone’s reading it if you disable comments? I mean, people already don’t comment which results in a lot of abandoned WIPs.
And making it so nobody can physically tell you they’re reading what you’re writing is…supposed to help?
Tell me you don’t value creativity without telling me you don’t value creativity.
Unpopular Opinion but I think AO3 should try going a year with all non-registered readers and downloadable work formats disabled, if that’s what it takes to teach this generation of entitled little vacuum-cleaner-readers that (fandom) writing shouldn’t be Pissing On The Writers.
Just because you don't have EDS doesn't mean I don't need ankle braces, nor does it make ankle braces evil.
"weh weh people don't get what I'm saying" what you're saying is "I don't like this garment and am full of misconceptions about how it works and what it does to your chest and when people tell me I am factually wrong I throw a tantrum and start making shit up and attacking randos because I'm so sure of my misconceptions. Also those garments are ontologically evil and should be destroyed"
Also CITATION FUCKING NEEDED on "bras cause sagging"
Because uh, I think all the many cultures in the world that do not wear bras might be a little confused when you tell them that's why their pendulous, sagging* breasts are so firm and upright and free from sagging since they don't wear bras.
*pendulous sagging breasts are morally neutral, but it is patently ridiculous to claim that bras cause the structural changes to breasts that are largely caused by age and gravity. Like, holy shit. Do you know how breasts work??? (apparebtly not, since bras are "ontologically evil" and "should be burned").
Look. Was it rude of me to assume OP has small breasts? sure! But also, that doesn't mean it's totes cool for OP to insist my supportive garments are "ONTOLOGICALLY EVIL" and then double down in nastiness when people were like "lol no".
I mean, I’ve met an ontologically evil bra, but let’s be fair, that fucker popped three underwires (I tried replacing one myself because I didn’t want to throw out a $250 bra after only six months), gave me a HELL of an infection because one of the seams pressed in just the right way to cause an abscess, and no matter how carefully I washed it there was always a vague smell.
But that’s not a comment on all bras, just a single one I should have given up on way sooner.
Lol, yeah, similar stuff has happened to me, but the OP i'm vagueing was very explicitly and angrily talking about all bras and believes the concept of bras (which, weren't brassieres invented by a Jewish woman?) is "ontologically evil".
Jewish culture is getting annoyed when Tumblr autocorrects "oy vey" to "oy very"
oy very 💀
elon musk had a third child with grimes that he kept secret until the release of his biography. he named it techno mechanicus
can you imagine being an adult nepo baby at a company your rich dad invested in and having to walk into the boardroom first day like. hi everyone. my name is techno mechanicus
I can tell this is fake because "techno mechanicus" doesn't start with X
OH SON OF A BITCH
I haven't been reblogging this post because I genuinely assumed you guys were Goncharoving a nepo baby
"dual wielding is too dangerous and impractical to be effective in real life combat" dual wielding is cool and sexy and sick as fuck and he who makes his enemy look like a lame little punk ass loser has already won half the battle before he even starts fighting the war. sun tzu said that.
not only are there no bad languages there are also no bad or annoying dialects
Every dialect you don’t like is a friend you haven’t yet made
everyone who wants to suggest a language that’s actually a bad language. No ❤️

*white knuckling the bathroom sink* do NOT infodump ppl about the fact that the first spn fic was a wincest one and that it was posted mere hours after the pilot and that the founder of ao3 was a wincestie and that the first fic on ao3 was wincest too and that the omegaverse as we know it was created by wincest shippers for jared/jensen fics *pointing at myself in the mirror with a shaky hand* ppl will think you're weird and off-putting you need to control yourself–
it's fundamental fandom history 😤 and honestly the amount of people who think wincest is an aberration in spn fandom and those that think ao3 shouldn't allow "problematic" content and be fully censored should know these things so they can be aware of where these cultural juggernauts started.
not them asking naomi novik AKA ASTOLAT if she was okay with incest fics of her characters when she was the one in the trenches writing wincest fics and founding ao3 so people could have a place to post their works without censorship. that's absolutely hilarious I have to find that post
YES my brother in christ she WROTE THE PROPOSAL !
May. 17th, 2007
An Archive of One's Own
AO3 was created out of collective effort, and she was the one who started it all. It's incredible to see how many of her ideas in this proposal ended up actually happening. So many things we now take for granted were crazy dreams at first
The deep history and why I shake my head at people who were toddlers when ao3 was conceived think that they'll get anywhere with arguments about fandom purity.
Like, there's a ton of shit on ao3 that I don't bother with because it is very much not my thing but I am deeply grateful that ao3 exists as it does because the things I do like, even the super fluffy g rated fics, would be considered just as "bad" by various religions and governments. And if I want to be able to read sweet gay coffeeshop found family or wish fulfillment time travel fixit featuring complex qpp and gay ships, the best guarantee of being able to do so is a place where everything goes. Because my "non-problematic" innocent fluff is absolute perversion according to some people. I know because they yelled at me before I turned off anon comments. And even the country I live in used to require unhappy endings for queer characters if it allowed them at all in many forms of media.
I absolutely avoid the kind of fic that ao3 was founded on and I am still deeply grateful that it exists.
All of this.
Also, because I am a literature nerd, people understand the Archive’s name is a Virginia Woolf reference, yes? To “A Room of One’s Own.”

A year ago I made some silly Trigun fanart that brought all the bigots out of the woodworks, so I told them that everything I draw is gay, including Space Cat. And now he has a boyfriend, welcome Rainbow Cat! 🌈
