Daydreaming of Too Many Fandoms

Hi, hello! I’m just your average, totally normal fan who loves taking her favorite fandoms, fusing their worlds together, and seeing what happens! Yup, totally normal. Who doesn’t play god for funsies sometimes?

When people argue that food from Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US are not 'real' representations of that culture's cuisine ignore the historical reality that these dishes were developed by diasporic communities striving to recreate the flavors of home with available resources. Such criticism frames adaptation as a loss of authenticity, rather than recognizing it as a sincere and evolving expression of culture by people separated from their homeland.

I think part of the problem is that, like, a hundred years ago there were Extremely Strict gender roles for both men and women, and then due to the hard work of a century of feminists (thank you feminists) we have massively expanded what a woman can be. We are nearing (hopefully) the point where women really can be Anything.

However, the idea of what a man can be has not expanded in the same way. Every man has to be stoic, loud, take up space, and never show weakness. Allowing men to be sensitive, emotional, soft, pretty, and feminine used to be one of the goals of feminism. After all, how are we supposed to see ourselves as truly equal if we still have such strict rules guiding gendered behavior?

Recently, I have seen feminism (trans exclusionary and trans inclusive) solidifying those strict rules of manhood instead of breaking them down. The idea that all men are agressive, stubborn, and will physically overpower you has been parroted so many times, it almost feels like fact. It is forcing —not the men themselves— but the idea of men into the role of the evil wrongdoer. The ways in which terfs have used this image to harm trans women are myriad and obvious.

It used to be common knowledge that feminism also ought to benefit men in this way. If the sexes were truly equal, then men could act feminine, and women could act masculine without social repercussions. This breakdown of gender roles is a good thing! It is freeing for all of us to remove the arbitrary rules guiding gendered behavior.

Men should wear flower crowns and glitter beards and dresses and cry in public and tell their friends they love them. Your idea of men needs to include them doing all of these things. You need to make space in your head for men to be sensitive and thoughtful and caring and safe.

The Hadal Snailfish mermaid is one of the deepest mermaids ever recorded. The cold, high pressure waters allow her to keep her adorable shape as she hunts for tiny sea bugs in the muck of the darkest part of the ocean.

This is one of the many mermaid species humans have never seen in person. Instead, information and illustrations are ferried to the surface by vertical migrant mermaids. Scholars, mermosologists, and diplomats bring communication through the different zones of the ocean. But those who travel the furthest vertically must know the most languages.

Humans who wish to learn mermaid languages will usually stop at Pelagic, since most mermaids they encounter will be surface-dwellers. They may be able to parse Mesopelagic as well, as it is closely related. But as one travels deeper, the languages of the oceans change and twist until they are formed of sounds a human can barely comprehend, much less speak.

So if you wanted to be a penpal with a snailfish, you would have to dedicate years to learning Hadal... or hope your courier is an accomplished translator.
