oh. he was not going to let sousukes intimidation do its work on him. rin knew him too long to care how dark and scary he could be anyway. in the quick of a moment rin snatched a box of cola from the fridge and he was OFF. slipped right under sousukes arms and out the door. by the way he was heading, you knew he was going to a outside garbage can. ( was he going ot actually throw them away? no. but, lets work the whaleshark a little. )
sousuke nearly turns a flip with how fast he turns around.·
“ RIN !! ” -- there’s a growl in his voice, arms wide and ready to catch the other who was already far ahead of him. damn his morning jogs. he was preparing for this. he passes through the people in the hallway as if they were merely obstacles in HIS way, pushing them aside to get to his main target.
“ oh, but you just did, cutie. ”
a smile just grew. the sass was one of the things he loved most about rin. a spoonful of rice sousuke had just made is gently pushed into his mouth, hand held out to catch any that fell.

On ‘Genderbending’
Lately I’ve been seeing people discuss why ‘genderbending’ isn’t transphobic, or why it’s something that’s fine and should be accepted. Most of the people who have been discussing this are cis, which is an issue right off the bat, so I’m going to preface this post by saying that if you are not trans, you do not have the right to determine what is or is not transphobic. Full. Stop. So if you’re cis, and your first instinct is to argue with me on this, I would like for you to consider why you believe that you can recognize transphobia better than someone who is routinely subject to it. That being said, let’s get into this.
To start off, what is ‘genderbending?’ Most fansites will define it as the act of ‘switching’ a character’s gender, but there’s already an issue with this. ‘Genderbending’, or ‘rule 63’ as is called in some circles, it not just about switching a character’s gender, it is about changing that character’s body as well. I have yet to see a ‘genderbent’ version of a male character who lacked breasts and a dfab body. This the first and most obvious reason why ‘genderbending’ is inherently transphobic - it assumes that physical traits and gender are the same thing, and that you cannot be female without also being dfab. This is cissexism, and this is transphobic. The message that ‘genderbending’ says is that you must have breasts and a vagina to be female, and you must have a penis and a flat chest to be male. I should not have to explain why that message is transphobic.
However, the way ‘genderbends’ are carried out also has distinctly transphobic implications in how it switches out the physical traits of characters to make them ‘the opposite gender’ ( the notion of there being ‘opposite genders’ is some fresh bullshit that I’ll cover later in this post ). For example, by giving a male character breasts and curves when ‘genderbending’ him, the message is clear that this character was cis to begin with. ‘Genderbending’ inherently implies that all characters are cisgender by default, and erases any possibility of these characters being trans. This is not as overtly transphobic as the first point, but it is harmful to trans people within fandom spaces, as the assumption that all characters are cis until explicitly stated otherwise pushes us out of media and removes whatever representation we might try to make for ourselves.
The third issue with ‘genderbending’ is that it is always cis male <—> cis female, and nothing else. I have never seen people ‘genderbend’ characters by making them nonbinary or intersex. I have never seen a genderbend of a female character which made her a trans male instead. ‘Genderbending’ implies that there are only two options when it comes to gender: cis male and cis female. There is no such thing as nonbinary people within this ideology. Intersex people are laughable at best. Agender people are little better than a distant myth. ‘Genderbending’ ignores that it is impossible to make a character ‘the opposite gender’, because there is no such thing as an ‘opposite gender’. Gender is a spectrum, not a binary, but you wouldn’t know that from the way fandom spaces treat it.
Of course, there are some reasons for ‘genderbending’ cis male characters into cis females that will always get brought up in discussions on the politics of ‘genderbending.’ The most frequent is that cis girls, who only see themselves as one-dimensional characters in media, want to have characters like them who are just as multifaceted and developed as the male characters that we are given, so they make their male faves female to give themselves the representation they desire. This is a decent reason for ‘genderbending’, but it does not excuse the fact that the way in which ‘genderbending’ is done is inherently transphobic, and it gives fans yet another excuse to ignore female characters in favor of focusing on their male faves.
Another reason for ‘genderbending’ that I’ve heard is ‘it’s for the sake of character exploration - like, what if this character had been born as male/female instead?’ This excuse is cissexist and transphobic from first blush. The idea behind it is that someone ‘born as female’, aka with breasts/vagina will automatically be a cis female, allowing fans to explore what that character’s life would have been like if they were female. Why not explore the possibility of a character being designated female at birth, but still identifying as male? Why do you need a character to be cis for you to find their personality and life interesting to explore? Why do you automatically reject the notion of your fave being trans? If you want to explore what it would have been like for your male fave to have struggled with sexism, consider them being a trans woman, or a closeted dfab trans person.
As a closing statement, I want to make one thing very clear. ‘Genderbending’ does harm trans people. It perpetuates dangerous cissexist notions and the idea of a gender binary being a valid construct, erases nonbinary and intersex people, and others trans people. These are what we call microaggressions - they are not as dangerous as outright harassment and assault, but they enforce and support a system and ideology in which we are other, and we are worthy of hate and violence because we do not fit in.
‘Genderbending’ is a transphobic practice, and if you engage in it, you need to be aware of and acknowledge this.

NEW STARTER CALL !
smash that ♡ for a quote.
samezuoka:
‘ yeah. figured i’d let you know since i’d be gone… whats with the face… ? ‘ he raises a brow when looking at him, but soon turns after to look at the mirror. hes taking his hair down and fixing it in a way.
‘ everyone says i should do more things outside practicing and being a captain anyway. ‘
“ ah. just.. SURPRISED, i guess..”
he’s lying. he hates this with every single fiber of his being and he wants to fucking yell. “ i’m happy for you, rin. i think i’m... i’m gonna leave too. ” instead of using the ladder, he slides himself down off the bed, landing on his feet.
samezuoka:
‘ OH hohoho? you doubt what i put my mind to, sousuke? ‘
rins voice remained un moving. a growl just at the base of it. he had been laughing at him for this long. only now he gets serious when his precious cola is at stake. rin made threatening steps toward the fridge.
‘ serious suddenly? hm. thought this was funny… ‘
a step is taken towards rin himself, from the opposite side of the room. eyes become squinted, palms widened. a little more and a tumbleweed was going to roll on the ground in front of the two!
“ rin. you. better. NOT. ”
samezuoka:
had rin noticed anything weird with sousuke? no. he usually dazes off really. he does it in class. he does it when hes going to nap. usual sousuke. during the whole time he was out of it rin had been saying some ideas… a soft sigh drifts from him since he’d have to repeat it.
‘ have you seen my white v neck? ‘ currently he was shirtless as he hounded around for it.
‘ oh. and i was also going to say its saturday, y’know… no swim meet today. maybe we could do something. i really hate being in a room all day. ‘
eyes continued to follow his body, mouth left slightly ajar as they did. he cleared his throat and adjusted himself on the top bunk, eyes briefly closing. he’d take a deep breath before sighing out an answer.
“ mm - mm. haven’t seen it.” he's been enjoying the view, anyways. who needed a t-shirt? “ but you’ve got a good point. what are you up for? we could go to the mall or something. ” a slight shrug is given.
can everyone please send @cherriiko some love and support. i’m very worried about their safety right now as they are not responding to messages and have fallen into a depressive state and might do something dangerous. please let them know they are loved and cherished and their life is valuable.
listen, maybe i am not making myself clear on this issue but my friend is hurting and has turned off her phone and no one can get in touch with her. she has deleted her discord and wont respond to anyone’s messages. she said she set a date and I AM SCARED. FOR HER. i know that maybe the fandom i am in doesn’t matter to you, but A LIFE. OF A PERSON. DOES MATTER. I am asking this to be reblogged. as a tumblr community, people shouldn’t be scared to reblog a message that couple possibly save someone’s life. to send a loving message and let them know they MATTER. yall wanna talk about supporting people??? and being their for each other’s backs ??? and being on their side??? then when you see a message like this you should jump on it and not ignore it and keep scrolling because u feel it doesn’t involve you.
“ you’re... you’re going on a DATE? ” he was trying to feign excitement for rin, but he was a terrible actor. sou looked disappointed.

“ oh, baby. “
sousuke’s laughing and laughing like he’s literally just about to lose a lung after rin’s remark. hand is on his stomach and he’s tilting on his heels. he had no idea how far he could possibly test rin with this one, but he was ready. laughing stops, a deep voice ensuing, tiny smile kept on his face.
“ you wouldn’t dare. “
