i love movies1! this blog is mainly for vietnam war movies- apocalypse now is my favorite, but platoon and full metal jacket will also be mentioned frequently.

i love music, some of my faves (no particular order) are the doors, the cure, jimi hendrix, siouxsie and the banshees, mareux, nirvana, the velvet underground, fiona apple, alex g, the beatles, pixies, radiohead, the black angels, mitski, nancy sinatra

howd you get into the Vietnamverse?

about a year ago i was very very into vietnam war-era history, and my dad had mentioned full metal jacket a lot, so i watched it on my own. i loved it and that was sorta my gateway. then i watched platoon and liked it as well.

then i watched apocalypse now and it was genuinely life-changing for me, and solidified my interest in vietnam war media.

so yeah ive been insanely hyperfixiated on it (esp. apocalypse now) for just around over a year now lol

watching Apocalypse Now Redux and i can see why the 2nd playboy bunny scene is in neither the theatrical nor Final Cut. sucks ass

a kind of sympathy

[thepinkpestilence]

a very specific thing but i just HATE how some people treat transmascs who dare to headcanon a male character as a trans guy. because they believe that oh those trans men and transmascs ONLY do that to fetishize the character or somehow misunderstand the story and not because they just. happen to see themselves in them? RELATE to them? its FICTION. even if you dont agree with their headcanons there is no reason to act like a dipshit. these are some examples i found:

how come cis guys loathe me because i happen to be a trans guy and i don't want to laugh along with their offensive jokes, make fun of people with them, objectify women with them, etc etc

like this puts me in such an unwinnable situation. if i go along with them in such situations then they see me as a guy and as a friend, but i have to momentarily betray my personal values that i hold very closely. and if i refuse to go along with them- specifically if i stand up for myself or others- then they immediately demote me to somebody they see as a girl, and they start acting much more (subtly) transphobic to me.

it makes my social dysphoria even worse, which in turn makes me feel awful because now im paranoid that maybe i AM willing to give up such a significant part of myself in order for them to accept me. it makes me (hopefully irrationally) afraid that i really am that kind of person and that deep down i do want to be like them.

i just wanna be able to be seen as male without having to be a piece of shit and without having to face this moral and social pressure every day. i really don't think i ask for much.

[redriflez]

do you plan on writing more vietnamverse fics? i really liked your t4t kurtz/willard one

thank you!

and yes i think i definitely will write more, i just need to get over the block that i have rn because i do have some pretty good ideas for fics floating around in my head
