Hi! My name is Sam, and i’m a Christian trans* guy. And this is March 31, 2015: International Transgender Day of Visibility. And i just wanted to share some things. ^_^

I’m different. I always wanted to be a boy. I have known this from a very young age. But since i’m religious i thought it was a bad thing, a sin. So i tried to change, to be more girlish, to be someone else, someone who i’m not. I didn’t know that what i am, what i feel has a name.

Then 3 months ago (12 Dec 2014) i came out to my best and closest friends via tumblr as ftm transgender (since here the people are very accepting). And they were/are absolutely amazing!!! AND I WANT TO THANK MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR LOVE AND SUPPORT!!! Szonklin(especially), Nosetothewind94, Nymphi324, Queen-of-Sheep, Ritarmandi, you are so nice and kind!!! <3 <3 <3

And it was 3 months ago, yet i’ve changed a lot since. And there’s still so much i could do and become. I just had a new haircut, i want to buy my first binder. Eventually i want to came out to my family (and other friends). It’s pretty scary and i have my ups and downs, but with God’s help and my friends’ support i could achieve amazing results.

So keep hope and carry on! :)

Six years ago I posted my first ever picture to celebrate International Trans Day of Visibility.

A lot has changed since. It’s just so amazing that how one can change in such a (seemingly) short time. I achieved a lot!

Back then I was proud to be out, and on my way of changing. Nowadays I don’t really like to be visible. So I thought all day about posting this. I have new friends and followers who has no idea that I’m trans and I’m always afraid that if someone finds out (especially Christians) they will treat me differently. But I was like this is the day, this is the day to be visible, to show the world that we exist, we are just as real and normal as anyone else. And we deserve love and acceptance!

Also if I have not posted the original post back then then I wouldn’t have @t-shirtlife as my best friend so no regrets here. Not then and not now.

Huge thank you to my wife, @szonklin, to my friends and family for their support and acceptance and never ending love. And I thank God who loves me and who is always there with me, every single moment of my life.

So keep hope, be brave and carry on! :)

[ritarmandi]

I'm very happy to see you decided to post this even if u had concerns, @yourbestmate. I think you have a very inspiring journey, which could help others who are in the beginning of seeking their ways. Thank you for being this brave and thank you for telling us about yourself. I'm glad that you found support, meet new friends, and I'm aware, that my few words won't change anything, but i'm sure that those new people and followers around you just gonna see your sparkling, exciting and funny personality, not anything else. You are Máté to all of us. ♥️

Inktober 2020 - Day 1 - Fish

So it’s October again. I try to draw every prompt again this year and even finish last year ones… maybe. m a y b e . I wanted to make it thematic - using my OCs -  but I just cound’t fit all into one of my work/world/story. So there will be recurring characters sometimes, but as always I just try to wing it. Wish me luck ;)  

But for the first day I choose something totally different. Actually I’d like to dedicate this one to  @ritarmandi​ and @nosetothewind94​ since reading this prompt just automatically reminded me to our dear Cousin Mordecai from the ingenious card game Gloom. 

[benaya-trash]

vikings au for one of the only ppl i still respect on this dumbass site @ryuumw

[ritarmandi]

Name 7 comfort films and tag 7 people.

I was tagged by @szonklin. 💚 Thank you, it was fun again, but as you might used to it, I cheated again a little bit. 😋 However, I'm trying to say myself, what you commented last time under my post, that it's not cheating if ai double the effort. 😀

I had to realize, that mostly, when I need a comfort film, I'm turning to shows more than just one movie. Also... Comfort films... Gosh, I have different for different moods. Yet, I was able to made a kind of list.

Films

1. Salamon Fishing in the Yemen (2011)

It's one of my favourite rom-com, I've to admit. I don't know why, I'm aware, that it is nothing special, but I like Ewan McGregor, I love Scotland, and somehow it just works for me. Definietly made me feel better every time I watch it.)

2. Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

I could've list all works of Hayao Miyazaki, bc he creats wonderful, breathtaking worlds, lovely characters, and amazing stories for everyone. I stick with Howl though, bc if I've to choose, this piece is my 'comforting' one. Actually, I think this adaptation of Diana Wynn Jones's book is better than the book itself. It's rare. 😉

3. Hot Fuzz (2007)

I can't help on myself, I love the typical british humor of this movie, I love how sensible that the actors enjoyed their work, and like Simon Pegg. This is my favourite piece from The Cornetto Triology, and when I need a good laugh, I often choose this piece to watch.

4. Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

Good, beautifully composed actions and great music. Fantastic actors. Colin Firth. 😋 And Colin Firth doing THAT scan. This film might be violent sometimes, but it's just brilliant: it has speed, it's fun to watch, and it totally switch out my overused brain.

5. The handmaiden (2016)

The story. The directing. The beautifully composed scenes. The perfect cinematography. The colours. The actors. The music. Everything. Is. Just. Perfect. Yeah, yeah, it's not an easy film, I've to admit. But it's so beautiful it hurts.

6. Mary and the Witch's Flower (2017)

I just simply like this tale. It's not perfect, but with all the colours and creativity it's a little bit magic for me.

7. Eagle (2011)

As for it's theme, it's definietly not a classical comfort movie choice, but somehow I love this film. Mostly bc the acting of Jamie Bell, and bc of their chemistry with Channing Tatum.

TV Shows / Multiple chaptered movies

1. How to Train Your Dragon series

I can't choose just one part, I love the whole series. It's a story which I want to show my kids, bc they can have fun while they learn something great.

2. Gravity Falls

This is My Ultimate Feelgood Favourite Show, when I have bad days, I always choose this. Bc it's creative, adventuoros, myctical, fun, I love the characters... You can search for easter eggs, and search and solve mysterious hinta... it's literally for everyone. I've seen both seasons for like dozens of times, but it never gets old, while it makes me feel good. It's like going back to the best parts of my childhood.

3. The Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3

Oh well...pirates, advantures, actions, great Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt tunes. Great fun to watch.

4. Anne (1985)

There are 6 episodes of this tv series version of Anne from Green Gables, it's my childhood.

5. The Dresden Files series (2007)

Oh well... It's cheap and nothing like the books. Yet, somehow I enjoy to watch it, when I wish for something easy and magical and sarcastic. (Actually, I like the books very much.)

6. Jane Eyre (2006)

This version with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens is one of my favourite book adaptation of all time. Which is funny, bc Jane Eyre is not among my favourite books, but this version just catches so perfectly both characters, not idealizing them, or make the whole story more romantical than it is (which is not romantic at all), and the actors are great in their rolls, that I choose this often to switch off my racing mind. I can't explain it why.

7. Emma (2009)

Romola Garai and Johnny Lee-Miller. I've nothing else to say. 😂

Sooo, yeah, I'm tagging: @benaya-trash @thewitch-went-to-bournemouth @nosetothewind94 @yourbestmate

The moral of the story is: always take time to cry for a few hours before making important decisions.

So I’m more or less being facetious here, but this is actually a thing.

Hamlet is genre savvy. Hamlet knows how Tragedies work, and he’s not going to rush in and get stabby without making absolutely certain he’s got all the facts.

Except once he thinks he has all the facts – once he’s certain that it really is the ghost of his father and Claudius really did kill him, he rushes in and stabs the wrong guy, which starts a domino line of deaths and gets Laertes embroiled in his own revenge tragedy and ultimately results in the deaths of nearly every character other than Horatio.

That’s the irony and the tragedy of the story. Hamlet knows his tropes and actively tries to avoid them, and the tropes get him anyway. It’s inevitable, the tropes are hungry.

[motherfuckingshakespeare]

I want a sticker that says the tropes are hungry so I can put it on my laptop

[daimonie]

i met a scholar once who said that tragedies aren’t about a silly “flaw” or anything, it’s about having a hero who’s just in the wrong goddamn story

if hamlet swapped places with othello he wouldn’t be duped by any of iago’s shit, he’d sit down & have a good think & actually examine the facts before taking action. meanwhile in denmark, othello would have killed claudius before act 2 could even start. but instead nope, they’re both in situations where their greatest strengths are totally useless and now we’ve got all these bodies to bury.

[whopooh]

The tropes are hungry and the hero is in the wrong goddamn story.

I love this post.

‘I only want two things in this world.

I want you.

And I want us.’

This is in my mind since I’ve started to read the english translation of Zhen Hun/Guardian by Priest. I’m aware, that Shen Wei’s hair is different in the drama, but when I saw this hair on Zhu Yilong, I couldn’t resist. :)
